FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
From the moment the news of the check on the
18th at the Malakhoff Tower was known the loss
sustained by the allies has been magnified by
rumour in an extraordinary manner. Not a day
passed without a thousand or so being added to the
number, and this morning it was declared that at
least 10,000 between English and French had
perished or were wounded on that occasion, and
this number was considered to be rather under the
mark than over it. The English alone were put
down at 4,000 and upwards. The accounts re-
ceived to day, supposing them to be correct, consi-
derably diminish that amount, though the loss is
still to be deplored. They fix that of the English
at 1,200, including Isso killed, while the French are
said to have 1,000 killed and 1,600 wounded. This
is out of the usual proportion, and is supposed
to be erroneous ; but the aggregate number is
far under that which the partisans of Russia in
Brussels as in Paris wished to have believed. In
the same account it is mentioned that nothing can
be finer than the English army, which is estimated
at about 30,000 men. " They are," says a French
despatch, " magnificent troops, and capable of any-
thing." They are well fed, well clothed, and in
great spirit. There are 50 days' provisions always
on hand, and fresh supplies arriving every day.
General Pelissier meets with an enthusiastic recep-
tion from the English whenever he appears among
them. The cholera is said to be making ravages
in the Sardinian army.
A good deal of progress has been made in the
arrangements for the last 10 or 12 days, and it is
expected that in another fortnight everything will
be complete, or very nearly so.
The Emperor has just assigned, from his privy
purse, a sum of 6,000 f. to the Prefect of the Basses-
Pyrenoes, to assist the persons who have suffered
by the late inundation.
The Moniteur .Algerien states that, on the 17th,
a grand Te Dewy', was performed at the principal
church of that place to, celebrate the 25th anniver-
sary of the capture of Algiers by the French. A
quarter of a century has now elapsed since that im-
portant event.
The administration of the Bank of France has
declared a dividend of 100 f. per share for the first
six months of 1855.

THE HANGO MASSACRE.

In reply to Captain-DuNcomßE,
Sir C. WOOD said the Admiralty had received de-
spatches this morning from Admiral Dundas, stating
the steps that had been taken, and also the most wel-
come intelligence that several of our sailors, though
taken, were not wounded. The right hon. bart, added,
that the story of our sailors taking soundings off Kertch
Bay while landing the Governor's carriage was utterly
untrue.

REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. T. DUNCOAIBE rose to ask the Attorney-
General whether, under the provisions of the Act 22
Geo. 111., c. 45, a new writought not to be issued for the
City of London, in the room of Baron Rothschild, who
bad since election entered into a contract for the public
service, a copy of which had been laid before that house?
He thought from the information be had received he
should be justified in moving for a new writ for the City
of London, as Baron Rothschild had entered into a con-
tract for the public service.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the question was
one for the house to answer, and not for him. At the
same time he felt bound to say that if the hon. member
wished for his professional opinion he could have it on
the usual terms. (Hear and laughter.)
Mr. MALINS wished to ask the right hon. gentleman
the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, from the state-
ment he made on Friday night, he believed the hon.
member for Tynemouth to be interested in shipping con-
tracts ?

Sir C. WOOD said the statement he made was that,
as far as he knew, the hon. gentleman the member for
Tynemouth, though he had given up his interest in those
contracts before he entered the house, must have been
aware of most of the circumstances attending them.

TURKISH LOAN.

Mr. RICARDO asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it was true the Government was about to gua-
rantee a loan to Turkey, and whether the noble lord would
inform the house if the Government had any such inten-
tion, and if so, when the subject would be brought
before the house ? (Hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said, when the Government
had a communication of that sort to make to the house
they would immediately do so, but it was not the usual
course for a Government to answer prospective ques-
tions. (Laughter.) No intention to do so had been
come to as yet by the Government.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that as there would in all pro-
bability be a considerable !opposition to having recourse
to the old system of subsidising, he hoped the noble lord
would give the house ample notice if he had such a pro-
position to make to it.

HEALTH OF TOWNS ACT.

In answer to a question from Mr. PALK,

Lord PALMERSTON said it was the intention of
the Government to proceed with the Health of Towns
Act.

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

Mr. OTWAY asked the noble lord if it was his inten-
tion to take any measure to induce the noble lord
the member for Middlesex to withdraw. the
Sunday Trading Bill? (Loud cries of "Hear, bear.")
Lord PALMERSTON said it was not his intention
to interfere with the bill, but that he should leave the
house to deal with it as it thinks best. (Hear, hear,
and cheers.)

LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.

In answer to a question from Viscount GODERICII,
it was stated by a member of the Government that this
bill would be taken into consideration on Friday night,

THE EDUCATION BILLS.

Lord SEYMOITR asked the noble lord whether he
wished the house to stultify itself with reference to these
bills by calling on the houseto affirm the principle of religi-
ous teaching in one bill and to exclude it in another—
(hear)—for the purpose of sending these bills before a
select committee,' and asked whether, with the feeling of
the house and the state of the business before it, it
were not better to postpone them altogether ?
Lord PALMERSTON said he thought it would be
better not to discuss the question by anticipation, but
wait until the question came in a proper shape before the
house.
London, England, 1855-06-26

house must make up their minds as to the course they
will pursue.
Mr. DISRAELI said, that when be alluded to the
state of the public hu,in-, s on Friday night the noble
lord at the head of the Government endeavoured tic) con-
vey an impression to the house that his inquiry was an
unreasonable one, and stated that it was to private mem-
bers the house was indebted for such a pressure of busi-
ness. The noble lord bad repeated that statement to-
night, but so far as he (Mr. Disraeli) could ascertain,
such was not the case. Of the bills not yet read a second
time 28 were Government bills, and 17 bills of private
members ; in committee 22 Government an 12 pri-
vate bills ; bills as amended to be considered, four of
each - and of other bills, three of each ; amounting in
the whole to 53 Government bills and 36 of private
members. The orders of the day, with two adjourned
debates, now amounted to 89.
Mr. HADFIELD said it was his intention to take
the sense of the house to-night on the Education Bill.
Lord R. CECIL protested against the Government
intention of pushing forward the education bills to send
them to a select committee. He protested against their
being sent to a select committee, and assured the noble
lord there would be a debate on each of these bills, and
unless the Government was prepared to sacrifice a great
number of Government nights to their discussion, it
was impossible the bills could be proceeded with.
Lord PALMERSTON reminded the house that one
of these bills had been introduced by a member of the
Government.

Their lordships adjourned during pleasure.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented several peti-
tions in favour of the abolition of Church Rates.

In reply to Lord VIVIAN,
Lord PANMURE expressed his regret at the delay
which had taken place in the distribution of the honours
of the Bath amongst those officers who had dis-
tinguished themselves in the military operations in
the East. The delays, however, were unavoidable,
it being necessary to seek for precedents for such di,-
tribution for military operation=. He trusted, however,
that that delay would soon be put an end to. The noble
lord then passed a high and glowing eulogium upon
several gallant officers who had rendered valuable ser-
vice during the winter campaign.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Bar•
badoes praying their lordships to prohibit the importa-
tion of slave-grown produce, and dwelt at some length
on the evils arising therefrom.

THE CRIMEA.

Mr. SCOTT wished to know whether the Govern-
ment had received any further intelligence from the- Seat
of War, as he understood there were some accounts in
the papers of to-day.
Lord PALMERSTON observed that a list of the
officers killed had been received by the Government,
and he believed their names had been sent to the news
papers, and would be published in a Gazette. It might,
however, be as well that he should state that the number
of officers killed and wounded was 93, that the whole
number of men and non-commissioned officers
killed was 144, and the wounded 1,053, making a total
of 1,295.

TURKISH LOAN.

Mr. RICARDO asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it was true the Government was about to gua-
rantee aloan toTurkey, and whether the noble lord would
inform the house if the Government had any such inten-
tion, and if so, when the subject would be brought
before the house ? (Hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said, when the Government
had a communication of that sort to make to the house
they would immediately do so, but it was not the usual
course for a Government to answer prospective ques-
tions. (Laughter.) No intention to do so had been
tome to as yet by the Government.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that as there would in all pro-
bability be a considerable opposition to having recourse
to the old system of subsidising, he hoped the noble lord
would give the house ample notice if he had such a pro-
position to make to it.

HEALTH OF TOWNS ACT.

In answer to a question from Mr. PALE,

Lord' PALMERSTON said it wag the intention of
the Government to proceed with the Health of Towns

Mr, OTWAY asked the noble lord if it was his inten-
tion to take any measure to induce the noble lord
the member for Middlesex to with•iraw the
Sunday Trading Dill? (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.")

Lora PALIVI:ERSTON said it was not his intention
to interfere with the bill, but that he should leave the
house to deal with it as it thinks best. (Hear, hear,
and cheers.)

quence of the house, at a later hour on Friday night, ob-
jecting to the debate being adjourned for so long a time.

LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.

In answer to a question from Viscount GoDERIdU,
it was stated by a member of the Government that this
bill would be taken into consideration on Friday night.

THE EDUCATION BILLS.

Lord SE VMOUR asked the noble lord whether he
wished the house to stultify itself with reference to these
bills by calling on the houseto affirm the principle of religi-
ous teaching in one bill and to exclude it in another—
(hear)—for the purpose of sending these bills before a
select committee, and asked whetber, with the feeling of
the house and the state of the business before it, it
were not better to postpone them altogether ?
Lord PALMERSTON said he thought it would be
better not to discuss the question by anticipation, but
wait until the question came in a proper shape before the
house.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during' the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is. therefore, no
matter of cut ',rise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu'ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of tho urethra."—Medice I Circular.

ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.
Order read for resuming adjourned debate on amendment
proposed to question, " That this House views with deep
and increasing concern the state &f the nation, and is of
opinion that the manner in which merit and efficiency have
be,n sacrificed, in public appointments, to party and family
influences, and to a blind adherence to routine, ins given
rise to great misfortunes, and threatens to bring discredit
upon the national character, and to involve the country in
grave disasters :" And which amendment was to le tve out
from the word "House" to the end of the question, iu order
to add the words, " recommends to the earliest attention
of her Majesty's Ministers the necessity of a careful revision
of our various oflizial establishments, with a view to sim-
plify and facilitate the transaction of public business, and,
by instituting judicious tests of merit, as well as by re-
moving obstructions to its fair promotion and legitimate
rewards, to secure to the service or the State the largest
available proportion of the energy and intelligence for which
the people of this country are distinguished," instead
