HAILEYBU'RY.

Tux half-yearly distribution of prizes—the last cere-
mony of the kind in which the Board of Directors a.
at present constituted will officiate—took place at
Haileybury College on Monday. Before the expire •
tion of the next term the new charter will come into
operation, and the privilege of nominating students to
the college will no longer appertain to the magnates of
Leadenhall-street, but merit or proficiency of some
kind form the title to admission. More than usw 1
interest was accordingly excited by this last ceremc.
vial under the expiring regime, and a large attend-
ance of visitors was the consequence.
The prize distribution commenced at noon, Mr.
Russell Ellice being in the chair :•—•

THE chief event of the week has been the field mid pon-
toon movements ut Virginia-water, which, after many
postponements, took place on Tuesday. A tine day, amid
the presence of her Majesty, gave much brilliance to the
scene of operations. These commenced with the march to
Virgieilewater, where the brigades of lienerals Evans and
Vane took up a position near the Black hest-bridge, with
detachments in the park near the spot at which the pon-
toon bridge was to he thrown over. The enemy. as usual,
consisted of a detachment of the 3rd battalion of Grenadier
Guards and a company of Sappers and Miners, occupying
a position in the grounds near the fishing temple. The
object of the movements was to cross the water in the face
of the enemy. and to obtain possession of the ground on
the opposite side of the lake.
The movements began by a bigned attack on the ex-
treme left, for the purpose of drawing the enemy away,
while the pontoon bridge was in course of construction. At
eleven, the brigade of General Evans, supported by a field
battery, commenced their attack on Black Nest-bridge,
which continued for nearly three-quarters of an hour.
While the attention of the enemy was thus diverted, some
'lndia rafts, fiomed of indiarubber pontoons, were con-
structed, which conveyed over to the other side four cone
Panics of the Rifle Corps, who occupied a concealed posi-
tion among the trees till their services were required.
The materials for the large pontoons were afterwards
brought in waggons to the water's edge, and in something
short of twenty minutes the entire bridge was constructed,
and the passage commenced, the Rides going first, and
throwing out their clouds of skirmishers as soon as they
re-ached the further bank. The Guards crossed next,
Jewelling six abreast, and carefully breaking step as they
went over. Next came the artillery, an interval of three
horses' length being allowed between gun and gun.
Lastly came the Carabineers, who passed over in single
hies, under a heavy discharge of winery. The spectacle
ot the coups crossing %vas one of considerable into-rest and
b. auty. It was watched kith much attention by the
London, England, 1853-07-09

question. This concord was to be immediately
evinced by deeds as well as by state papers.
The united fleets were incontinently to pass
the Dardanelles, invade even the Black Sea,
and, at the name time, vindicate the indepen-
dence of the Porte, and secure by their energy
that peace which Europe is loth to relin
quish.
We wish wo oould confirm, or even credit,
this statement. On the contrary, all that
reaches us has a very opposite tendency. In-
stead of England and France being united, we
fear the communications between the Govern-
ments of the two countries are at this mo-
ment, in the last degree, inconsistent and
distrustful. This state of incoherence and
suspicion is the natural consequence of the
distracted condition of the English Cabinet.
We believe that condition to be one of anarchy.
It would seem that the Cabinet is not merely
divided into two parties, but those parties
again are composed of sections of oscillating
opinions. Their almost daily vacillation is not
the result of continued thought and increased
information, but is rather the sheer offspring
of nervous incompetence. The present Ca-
binet is called upon to guide the fortunes of
England during the solution of the most im-
portant problem of modern politics. There
are unquestionably statesmen in that Cabinet
who comprehend the question, however con-
trary may be their opinions as to the me-
thod by which it should be encountered.
Lord ABERDEEN and Lord PALMERSTON
doubtless both know what is at stake.
They know that on their management of
the circumstances with which they have to
deal the future of England, as a first rate
power, depends. They are well aware that, if
their resources are not equal to the occasion,
an empire will arise which will absorb Europe,
conquer Asia, and will greatly influence the
condition of America, of which a great por-
tion already belongs to Russia. We often
hear of such phrases as " the commencement
of the end." There is such a thing in politics
as "the end of the commencement." Russia
has reached that period.
How far this result has been precipitated by
the conduct of Lord ABERDEEN we will not now
stop to inquire. A firm and prudent policy
might, in our opinion, have long averted it, and
prepared a condition of things in the interval
which might have ultimately bathed its evil con-

Tu Duke of Parma intends to have the Prophke
pe►frrmed in the theatre of his pleasant capital, and
has sent the Superintendent of his Theatres, Coun-
cillor of State, and Director of the Museum of Arts,
&e., Chevalier Lopez, to visit the most beautiful
theatres of Europe, and choose a model for the Par-
mese Opera. It seems that Chevalier Lopez gave
the preferenee to the Berlin Opera for its admirable
proportions, the .chit of lighting, and richness of
decoration. On that model the Parmese Opera-house
will be restored, and the Proph?te performed next
winter in the native town of Peer and Gardoni.

great and little, passing from one point to the other,—

Phlegmatic llrugeois. On leaving Brussels she
will begin the same profitable career in Holland,
traversing from the Hague to Amsterdam, 'Utrecht,

JUVENILE MENDICANCY BILL.

The Earl of Sicorrgsuctiv, in moving the committal
of this bill on Tuesday, enlarged upon the crimes and
evils of which the uncared-for state of the poorer
children in the metropolis was the most fertile source.
It was ne►essary, he insisted, for the State to attempt
$o interpose before distress and ignorance had ripened
into such bitter fruits, by taking some charge of the
juvenile population in the ante-criminal stage of their
existence, and be outlined the progress that would be
effected in that direction, under the provisions of the
present measure.
The Lost) CHANCELLOR, and Lords CAMPBELL and
ilsocuams, while thoroughly approving the intention
of the framer, found some insuperable objections to
the form in which the bill was constructed, and, after
some conversation, it was passed through committee
merely pro foruid, in order that it might be referred
to a select committee, and the opinion of the Poor
Law Board ascertained upon its working clauses.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS BILL.

The Reoond reading of this bill, whose sole object
was that of raising the salary of the assistant judge
of the Middlesex Court of Sessions—an office now

filled by Mr. Sergeant Adams—from I,'•4tXU. to 1,500!.
per annum, was moved on Tuesday by Mr. Lowx.
The reasons for proposing the advance were stated
by the hon. member to be the rapid increase in the
business of that court, where the fees were low, and
the whole expense of conducting prosecutions so
moderate that the court was absorbing a large pro-
portion of the criminal jurisdiction in the metropo-
litan district. _

•
Lord DUDLEY STUART opposed the motion, chiefly
on pentonal grounds
was a proposal which out of doors excited a good
deal of surprise. The judge in question was one whose
MUM, was frequently before the public, and unusually
under the censure of the press. He exhibited, it was
known, great vacillation in the discharge of his duties:
changing light to severe sentences, and severe to light
sentences ; as, on a recent occasion, in regard to the
woman who called the accusing policeman ' a pig.' Was
this a judge to have his salary increased? The private
character of this learned person was distinguished by this
lieculiarity—that he managed to succeed in what he had a
fancy to. A judge had recently said of him, ' I hope he
won't fancy my place, for if he did he would get it.'
(('heers.) Apparently he wanted an increase of salary,
and be was getting it from the House of Commons. But
1,1,00/. was ample."
Mr. llowvEn agreed with Lord Dudley, and
moved that the bill be read again that day six
months.
The ATTORNEY-OE:mum, deprecated allusions to
" idle go4sip" concerning Mr. Sergeant Adams, and
said that the simple question WAS, whether the ser-
geant should not have additional pay for the per-
formance of additional duties.

NEW ZEMANIL

Later dates from New Zealand fully confirm the
reports of the discovery of gold in that quarter. Some
very tine samples of the precious metals had been
brought in, but to what extent it existed had not
with any certainty been ascertained, owing to the
fact that. miners were very scarce, and it being to
their interest to keep as quiet as possible. A very
valuable coal-field had also been discove►ed at I'aka•
Wall, which fortunate event induced the inhabitants
to hope that the steamers would touch at. New
Zealand, and take in supplies of fuel, while on the
voyage between Panama and Australia.

THE CUBAN SLAVE TRADE.

A statement, published by a New York paper, and
said t be authentic, of the number of negroes landed
in Cuba during the first five months of the present
year, shows how extensively the traffic prevails, in

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL.

The consideration of this bill in committee at a
midday sitting on Tuesday was interrupted at the
49th clause by
Captain SCOBELL, who moved the omission of the
clause, which permitted English ships to be manned
entirely by foreign sailors. This permission he
described as unjust to the British seaman and
dangerous to the marine interests and even the
nautical supremacy of the country. It would destroy
that, nursery for seamen which the mercantile navy
had hitherto afforded, and drive the English sailors,
among whom much just discontent already existed,
into the American service.
Mr. LABoucnEnK also expressed apprehensions of
the effect?' of the clause, chiefly as regarded its
possible political consequences. Under it foreigners
might set up colourable ownerships over vessels whose
crews, though without an Englishman amongst them,
might commit acts effectually compromising England
with foreign nations.
Mr. CARDWELL was proceeding with much energy
to declare that every precaution had been taken in
framing the measure, and every necessary guarantee
would be exacted for its safe and honest working,
when four o'clock arrived, and the house stood ad-
journed. The bill consequently became a "dropped
order."

THE PRESS.

The German dramaturge, Madame Charlotte Birch
Pfeiffer, has happily given birth to her sixty-fourth
dramatic work. It is an imitation, or adaptation,
of June Eyre.
Among the artists now in Brussels is the pretty
witch of birds, Emilie Vandermeersch. She has suc-
ceeded in obtaining from her feathered pupils greater
prodigies of obedience even than those so much ap-
plauded three years ago. She proposes visiting Spa,
Ostend, and the German bathing-places.
The Royal Bibliotheque at. Brussels has been e►►-
riched by a collection, already curious, but which
will one day become precious for the study of the
history of the nineteenth century, of pamphlets,
brochures, satires, professions of faith, gazettes,
narratives of events, dc., in relation to the revolution
of 1603. It was bought from a French amateur.

FRIDA V PM:NINO.
THR funds have fluctuated considerably during the.
week. As we anticipated, the passage of the Prints
by the 'Russians did not cause any tall, but, on the
contrary, so great was the demand on the part of the
public for stock, that the funds rose from 911 to es I,
but, in consequence of rumours of a division in the
Cabinet, Consols suddenly fell from Wit to 971, from
which price, on its being understood that the Minis-
terial crisis had been temporarily averted, the market,
which itself is remarkably firm, has recovered.
IVe stated in a former article, that so long a. 4
England and France remained united, there would be
no danger of any considerable fall in the funds; but
that anything like a want of concert between the two
Governments would be attended with very serious
consequences to the Money Market.
As to the actual state of the Money Market, nothing
can be more satisfactory ; and we may affirm that the
commerce of both France and England, although the
commercial systems of the two countries are diame-
trically opposed, was never in a more flourishing
condition, a fact which ought to convince all
who are not wilfully blind that it is to the increase of
the precious metals, and not to any particular com-
mercial policy, that the general prosperity is owing;
otherwise, how is it that France and England, with
diametrically opposed systems, should equally flourish
No! the secret may be demonstrated by pointing
to such facts as these. The dinantity of gold pro-
duced from the Victoria mines alone, from the cow-

The Marquis of et.AmticAunt: understood that the

lITTSSO:TURKISII QUESTION.

A motion on this subject stood on the Lords' pa-
per for Thursday night, when Lord llitouottsx in-
quired of the Government whether, in the present
state of the question, all public discussion had not
better he postponed?
The Earl of CLARENDON admitted that in relation
to " this very grave subject he certainly could not
say that there would be no inconvenience nor mia
chief to be apprehended kom its full discussion" :
" Unfortunately 1 cannot say that negotiations have
arrived at that point, or that this matter is so near a set.
dement, as to render a discusaion upon the matter com-
paratively unimportant ; but I do say that negotiations are
going on—that we most earnestly hope that there may be
a peaceful solution of this question—Wear, hear )—guid
I KM sine pair loldsllllis W 411114 be the last persons in the
country to do anything to interfere with that settlement
( Hear, &lir.)"

As, however, he had already twice asked Lord Clan-
ricarde, whose motion it was, for a postponement, he
had made up his mind not to repeat that request, but
only suggested the inconvenient consequences which
it might produce, especially considering the compul-
sory absence, on account of illness, of Lord J. Rus-
sell from the other house, where also the subject was
to have been mooted.
The Earl of ELLENBoRouGn and the Earl of DERBY
joined in deprecating any premature discussion
which might embarrass the Government, or prove of
disadvantage to the public service.

Thus urged, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE COD-
sented to withdraw his motion.

In the Commons, the indisposition of Lord J. Rus-
sell was pleaded by Mr. tit..tosToNE for a similar
purpose, to which, with much apparent reluctance,
Mr. LAVARD yielded, and postponed his motion until
Monday, when it is positively to come on at last.

ltEntis PieTria: ItcsTottATloNs.-I;reat attention
has been paid at _Berlin of late to a head of Christ by
Correggio exhibited at the Art. Academy for benevo
lent purposes. This painting, the property of the
late King, had much storeyed by age, and had been
severely injured by stupid restorations. Of late,
however, the painting has been taken Mr, with great
raw, from the old camas, and has leeen freed from
the daubs afterwards blotelied on it, as well as from
the old varnish.

N:w s V ENTDON.—A working luau at Magdeburg,
Prussia. has made an invention to convert every
strati' engine into a steam-syringe, to be used for the
extinction or lire. The municipality of Magdeburg
arc about to have this simple and not very costly
apparatus added to the different engines throughout
the town.

THE GER MAN M r SEI 'M AT THE e.t.:Ti.t: 01. SAXE
CI MI •im.—The idea of forming an especial museum
tierman antiquities belongs to M. de Attkesz, who
first intended to have it placed at Nuremburg, where
already itURIeTIMIN speeimens hate been collected.
Later accounts, however, state that Duke Ernest of
Saxe-Coburg (brother of Prince Albert) has made
that gentleman the offer to have it established in the
old castle of Coburg, which hitherto had been very
inappropriately occupied as a penitentiary. The
duke has promised to surrender the castle in per-
petuity to the Dermot museum; and a better or
surer plum could not he found than this roomy and
strongly-built old mansion, situate, moreover, at the
junction of several railways, and where no national
jealousies could interfere with the progress of the
institution.

JEAN Net F. lticHTEn.—Some patriotic men of
the town of Bayreuth, the usual and final dwelling-
place of this favourite author, have resolved on re-
deeming from oblivion the former study of this their
greatest citizen. It is situated in the so-called Roll-
wenzel Ilause, in the solitary Landstrasse,surrotmded
by stately ehesnut-t.rees. The walls of the narrow
room have been restored to their original colour, the
chairs repolished, &e. Over the sofa, on which re-
poses now a gigantic wreath of laurel, hangs his por-
trait, an engraving after the picture of Vogel.. The
same deep-spirited yet serene and quiet features are
again to be found in a bust close by. An important
relic is the original of one of the study-books of Jean
Paul, presented by his widow. A splendid album is
to receive the names of the visitors of this once
abode of genius. The view from the two rather
small windows extends over some pine woods and
fields, with houses and tenements, and cannot be
called rich. Still Jean Paul here composed some of
his far-sighted descriptions of men and the world.

MR. STAFFORD.

THE present Secretary of the Admiralty—we
hope not in his eagerness to depreciate the
services of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, but
rather from a more generous impulse, and the
love of truth—acknowledged in the House of
COHHHOHS on Tuesday night that Mr. STAF-
FORD, his predecessor, had been "at very ill-
" used maul." •I'he records of his office, we
doubt not, assured hint of the ability, the
energy, and the devotion with which Mr. STAF-
FORD discharged the functions of his important
post. Captain OSBORNE also must be con-
inced, from personal experience, of the nau-
seous cant and the intense malignity with
which Mr. STAFFORD hits lacer aSKILLIed for
doing that which all his predecessors had
dune, anal which all his successors will imi-
tate. The manly acknowledgment of Captain
Osatntsx was suppressed by the Liberal news-
papers. This is in keeping with the infamous
misrepresentations, and even mendacity, with
which it has been attempted, though vainly,
to injure Mr. STAFFORD.

PORTI7GAL.

The finance committee has at last presented its re-
port upon the budget, containing an estimate or expel'
&titre, ordinary and extraordinary, for the year ending
:ffith June, ISM, amounting to 12,0110 contort (about
1,700,000/.) This is less than that of the preceding
Year by about 1,104 contos, in consequence, as it is
stated with much coolness in the report, of the re.
duction of the interest on the public debt, by the de-
cree of the Mit December, 1,451, to the uniform rate
of three per cent., as also of the suppression of the
annual subsidy allowed to the ihntro Wine Company.
The committee say nothing about the revenue to he
anticipated, but recommend economy and retrench-
ment, particularly as regards the number of employh
in the different public offices, which is acknowledged
to be far greater than the services of the State

require.

The heat of the weather at New York had become
excessive. On the thtml ult. the thermometer stood

the country, and many of them Irish emigrants. In
Philadelphia there had been twenty deaths from the
same cause. _

Some trouble was expected about the fisheries
again this season. The Boston Transcript publishes
a statement, apparently by authority, to the effect
that the American fishermen have generally agreed
to start on this season's mime provided with anus,
and that they express a determine " not to be
crowded and insulted as they were last year." They
will exercise due caution as regards boundary stipu-

will, at the same time, resent any encroachments
upon their liberty.

rors of the middle passage, to the ultimate condition
of hopeless slavery upon a Cuban sugar estate, or in
an American cotton plantation. The frightful nar-
rative is illustrated by the pictorial representation of
a slave-ship, and justified by extracts from authentic
documents. As the moral of his story, the author
impresses upon Englishmen his conviction that, by
continuing to purchase the larger proportion of the
l'nited States cotton crop, they are rendering them-
selves partners in the guilt of the slave trade, and
that the precarious nature of our supply of the
article, with all its incalculable perils to the fabric
of our prosperity, is the just retribution for this
national sin.

demanded, and ordered for yesterday (Friday).
For TRALEE four candidates were put in nomina-
tion on Monday—Messrs. 1). O'Connell, Fitzgerald.
Lalor, and Leahy. The two latter, however, retired,
leaving Fitzgerald the single competitor against the
son of the Agitator. On Wednesday was the
polling, when O'Connell obtained 150 votes and
Fitzgerald only 10.
The &too nomination on Tuesday was attended
with enormous confusion and rioting, such as would
be considered serious and disgraceful anywhere but
in Ireland. A show of hands was given for Sadleir.
The other candidates are Mr. J. P. Somers and Mr.
