SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock .

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
saek at five o'clock.

The Earl of HARRINGTON presented a great many
petitions in favour of a better observance of the Lord's
Day.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, Lord Cier-
mont's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS REGULATION BILL.

was also reported with amendments.
THE SUNDAY BEER BILL.

This bill, on the motion of Lord REDESDALE, was
read a first time.
PUBLIC OFFICES EXTENSION BILL.

Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this
bill.

Lord REDESDALE regretted that the Government
had not secured the ground in the neighbourhood of the
site for the new Government offices, now occupied by a
lot of buildings of the poorest description, by giving the
usual notices. He felt confident that at some future
time the ground would be required, and he there-
fore trusted the Government would think it de-
sirable to secure the ground before it greatly
increased in value, as it would when the new offices
were erected. The noble lord then drew their lordships'
attention to an offer that had been made some time ado
to erect the public offices. The offer he referred to was
that the parties should take the ground, clear it, and
erect the offices, and that they should receive a yearly
sum to be agreed upon by Parliament. Ho thought the'
subject not undeserving the attention of her Majesty's
Government.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the house greatly
indebted to the noble lord for the trouble he had taken
on this subject. He hoped the members of the House
of Commons would, during the recess, take into their
consideration the effects of an ili-judged expenditure.

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1855.

Of the guilty complicity of Austria with Russia
-probably no one now entertains a shadow of
doubt. The thanks of Count NESSELRODE to
Count BUOL must have dispelled all the dreams
of Lord CLARENDON, and almost have made Lord
JOHN regret his easy diplomatic virtue. His
superlatively silly pretext for not telling the }reuse
of Commons of the intention of Austria not to
fight—as if Russia did not know that long before
Lord JOHN did, or as if every man not blinded by
office did not know it without telling—we should
think he can now hardly remember without a
blush. Even the Times actually sees at last what
we proved and prophesied from the beginning of
the war ; and, indeed, before it broke out. Surely
Lord PALMERSTON, and Prince ALBERT himself, are
by this time satisfied of our whereabouts with
Austria. Worthy Lord CLARENDON, whose de-
, -spatches are so much bepraised, who must be kept
'n the Government come what would, because he
alone had the clue "to the admirably conducted
negotiations with Austria "—b-he, too, must see, if
not blinded with German dust, that he has been
completely Wooled. Two years of much lauded
protocolling = what have they ended in ?—in
leaving Austria and Russia billing and cooing
before the European public, and Austria's armies
occupying and oppressing the provinces, where
OXER PACHA and his Turks, with a few legions
of Poles, ought to have been holding the Russians
in check, or threatening them in Bessarabia.
Russia declares herself well-pleased to have
Austria in the Principalities ! declares she would
have accepted the terms which Austria and Lord
JOHN would have forced on this country—(What
then have we escaped !) and assures Austria
that a Russian army never could have marched
against her, but may again have to march to her
aid ! Lord CLAIMMON's glorious diplomacy has
issued in rendering almost futile two costly cam-
paigns, and in converting Austria from the secret
into the open, ally of Russia. Let, then, Lord
PALMERSTON and the Foreign Secretary confess
their position. Let them openly allow, or at
least acknol fledge by their actions, that they have

TURKEY.

We have received the Constantinople letters and
journals, of the 23d, brought by the Gango. The
report, mentioned in the accounts by the last mail,
that the object of the visit of Omer Paella to the
Turkish capital was to give the Government some
advice as to the manner of carrying on the war in
Asia, appears to be now confirmed by the fact that
since his arrival he has been present at all the
Councils which have been held at the Imperial
Palace, at the Porte, and at the Ministry of War,
where the principal subject under consideration
has been the movements of the Russians on the
coast of Asia and the situation of the Ottoman army
in that quarter. On the 22d, the Generalissimo
and the Turkish Minister of War went to the
English Embassy, where they had a long confer-
ence with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and General
Vivian, who commands the Turkish contingent,
and on leaving the English Embassy they went to
visit the camp occupied by these troops. Accord-
ing to letters of the 7th, received from Kars via
Trebizond, the situation of that place is not so pre-
carious as was at first supposed. These letters
state, on the faith of some merchants who had ar-
rived at the latter place, (what we have already
announced as a report by telegraph), that Schamyl
was advancing in force against Tiflis, and that the
Russian General Mourawieff, having been informed
of the fact, had raised the siege of Kars, and
marched with his army to protect Tiflis. The
Bashi-Bazouks still continue in the most complete
state of disorganisation at the Dardanelles, setting,
all their officers at defiance, and committing out-
rages and plundering in every direction.

AUSTRIA.

M. Saleman, the Russian consul, left Vienna on
the 28th for St. Petersburg, being the bearer of
important despatches relative, it is said, to the last
decision of the Germanic Diet.
A letter from Vienna of• the 28th ult., in the
Cologne Gazette, says :—" A very warlike order of
the day has been published by the Muschir Ismail
Pacha, who commands on the Danube. The Pacha
compliments the troops on their past conduct, and
promises them approaching victories over the Rus-
sians. Baron de Bourqu'eney had a long con-
ference with Count Buol yesterday, at which he
read to him a note which he had received from Count
Walewski. M. d'Oubril, attached to the Russian
Legation, also had an interview of the President of
the Council, in which he assured the latter that, in
consequence of the reduction of the Austrian army,
no more troops would be concentrated in Poland,
where only the ordinary garrisons would be kept up.
Most of the regiments, which had been on their
march for Poland from the interior of Russia, have
received orders to march on the southern pro-
vinces."

STRICTURE of the URETHRA. : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F. B. COTIRTENAY,
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 surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipulator 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 Ws res)ect ; 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 the urethra."—Medical Circular.

MURDER OF GENERAL BEATSON.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, which
we publish in another column, informs us that the Bashi-
Bazouk4' who had been for a long time under the com-
mand of General Beatson, have fi!led the measure of
tneir iniquities by murdering their general.
We have no certitude of the accuracy of this tele-
graphic message, but we are led to fear that the melan-
choly catastrophe which it so curtly communicates is
but too true. From information that has reached us
from other sources, we are in a position to lay before
our readers the latast authentic intelligence relative to
the wild bands under the command of cur unfortunate
countryman.

It will be recollected that, at the outset of the war,
the celebrated French General Yusouf and our General
Beatson undertook the disciplining of the fierce levies
known as the Bashi-Bazouks. General Yus.ouf, who
had tamed the wild Arabs of the Desert and disciplined
the tribes of Algeria, soon found that all his experience,
his patience, and his firmness were utterly unavailing,
and he gave up the attempt in despair. Our gallant
countryman, however,, persevered, and we had hoped
his endeavours would be crowned with success.

Latterly, a great body of the Rishi-Bazouks have
been encamped under his command on the further shore
of the Dardanelles. Amongst these men, we regret to
say, frequent signs of insubordiration were manifest,
and, about a fortnight ago, an act of atrocious violence
was committed, which led to further mischief.
Two officers of the corps were walking with their wives
in the neighbouring c,.untry, when a party of Bashi-
Bazouks fell upon, and assaulted, and outraged the
ladies. The moment the General heard of this villany,
he ordered the miscreants under arrest. A great portion
of their rascally comrades, however, sympathised with
them, and, proceeding to the General's house in open
mutiny, struck .;:heir yataghans into the ground, and,
piling up combustible materials, threatened, and that in
the most fearful earnest, that, unless their comrades
were instantly released from arrest, they would set fire to
the houe, and bur❑ the General alive, with his wife and
children.

General Beateon had no alternative, and liberated the
men, who, with their cotnra les, paraded about with
every demonstration of triumph, and fiLally set out f,r
Brousra, laying no tender hands upon the property of
the inhabitants, and with apparent intentions of pillag-
ing in every direction.
This was the last thing heard of them. Since that
we receive the sad but too probable news that we pub-
lish in another part of our paper, and which indicates a
too cruel termination to a distinguished and honourable
career.—Morning Post.

Aug, 3, at 12, the valuable LEASE of PREMISES, No. 35,
Great Marlborough-street, Regent-street, with or without
the Goodwill of the Business, many years established as a
Tailor's and Outfitter's, of first-rate character. The situation
is undeniable, and the facilities afforded for carrying on trade
are unexceptionable. An extensive building in the rear pos-
sesses every requisite for advantageously following the above,
but equally suitable for a studio, concert-room, or any other
purpose where light and extent of premises are required. The
property is held at a low rent, for a considerable tegn of
years. The premises may be viewed. Particulars had at the
Auction Mart and at the Auctioneer's offices, 25, New Broad-
street, City.

To Gentlemen's Servants, Coffeehouse-keepers, and Others.

LEASE, nearly 20 years unexpired, at the extremely low
rental of 521. 10s. per annum, of the well-known premises,
No. 4, South Molten-street, .oxfoastreet, within two doors
of Brook-street, Hanover-square. The basin.. of a coffee-

an excellent local connection, which a promising couple

ROYAL INSTITUTION OF BRITISH

ARCHITECTS.

Yesterday evening the second meeting for the present
season of this learned society was held at their rooms,
Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square.
Mr. TITE, M.P., took the chair, and informed the
architects present that the competition for the cathedral
at Lyocs was postponed until some time in the course of
the corning year.
The subject of the propriety of restricting the practice
of architecture in this country to those whose qualifica-
tion may be certified by a diploma from some competent
body was then brought before the meeting by Mr. Pap-
worth, in a commentary upon the views expressed by M.
Lanc6, of the Ecole Central of France, and discusied the
followine. propositions :—ls there a necessity for a diplo-
ma in the profession of architecture! Should the exa-
mination for it be voluntary or imperative 1 Who ought
to be the examiners ? What body should have the con-
ferring of it ? Should the age of the candidates for it be
placed within limits ! Should it be open to all ? Should
it be ever conferred without examination ! What were
the best means for facilitating the adoption of the sys-
tem, and what were the acquirements which would qua-
lify a candidate for its acquisition ? In the course of his
observations he mentioned that the system had at one
time prevailed in France ; but that, after going through
various modifications, it became excessively stringent,
and ultimately fell into desuetude. In Spain, however,
legallynone but qualified architects could appear in
court in proof of any disputed claim connected with their
profession, althongh there was no restriction placed on
the practice of quacks. In this country he found suca
men as Cotteril friendly to its adoption, and they had,
the other evening, heard from Mr. Donaldson that a
study of architecture at present formed a portion of the
in England.
of education at two of the principal colleges
England. As to who were the proper parties to con-
fer th 3 diploma, he would in the first instance give the
preference to the Institute, and felt sure that the uni-
versities would follow their example, and he thought they
might easily obtain a Parliamentary charter giving them
• the power to do so. Mr. Papworth concluded his ad-
dress by stating it as his opinion that a knowledge
of
architecture lay not in the recollection of models, but in
the ability to seek for and use the materials best' suited
to the intended structure.
This paper gave rise to an interesting discussion upon
the condition of architecture as a fine art, both on the
Continent and in England, at the present day ; and at
its conclusion the thanks of the Institute were, on the
motion of the chairman, voted to M. Land and to Mr.
Papworth, and the meeting adjourned.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 19.
We have received the following details of the
late journey of the Czar to the Crimea.
On the 7th the Emperor passed the Isthmus of
Perekop. He arrived on the Bth at Simphero•
pol, and set out on the 9th for Backtchi-Serai,
where he passed the troops in review on the 10th.
He afterwards visited the northern forts of Sebas-
topol, and subsequently proceeded as far as the
Mackenzie Heights.

KONIGSBERG, Nov. 19.

The Czar has ordered the Minister of the In-
terior to raise the state of siege at St. Petersburg
before his Imperial Majesty's return. The order
was immediately executed, and the state of siege
proclaimed to be at an end from the 9th.
The Czar's retinue are returning to St. Peters-
burg daily.

MARYLEBONE.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF BOOKS.— Winia77l. Cros3,
a man of short stature, about 50 years of age, was
charged before Mr. Broughton, on suspicion of having
stolen a large quantity of books from schools, news-
papers from coffee-shops, &o.
Edward Breekly, S 379, said that about five o'clock
last evening he was on duty in Camden Town, when he
was called by Mr. Cattle, pawnbroker, and who stated
to him that the prisoner had offered a book for pledge
which he believed had been stolen. Witness, in conse-
quence of the prisoner not letting him know where he
got it from, took him into custody. He never said a
word all the way to the station-house. He was there
searched, when a Dispatch, and an illustrated Nem of
Sunday last, each of which were smeared with coffee,
were found in his pocket. (These were produced, as was
also the book, which was a splendid edition of " Naomi,
or the last days of Jerusalem," published by Hall and
Virtue, Paternoster-row.) Witness asked the prisoner
where he lived, when he gave the direction, No. ISi,
Torriana-grove, Camden Town. Witness went there
and found the prisoner's wife, who was in care of the
house, which is to be let. He made a search and disco-
vered 50 duplicates relating to about 150 volumes, some
of which witness believed to be valuable works, which
have been pledged at various pawnbrokers. (The dupli-
cates were produced, and they showed that the prisoner
had realised a large amount of money.)
In answer to the magistrate the policeman stated that
ho had not been able since the apprehension of the pri-
soner to go to the pawnbrokers, but that there were
several persons present who had been robbed of books,
and who had seen them at the pawnbrokers'. There
were among them a gentleman living at Hampstead,
two ladies who have an educational establishment at
Isiington, &c. The policeman further added that the
prisoner was in the habit of obtaining circulars from
schools, which he used to make use of by going to the
several establishments under the pretence of recommend.
ing a scholar, when he took the opportunity of stealing
as many books as he could lay hold of.
The prisoner was remanded.

TRH FATAL EXPLOSION AT ST. GIIORCIR'S-IN. THE-

ner, resumed the inquiry at the London Hospital on the
bodies of the five men who were killed by the explosion
of a boiler at Messrs. Hall and Boyd's, the sugar re-
finers, St. George's-in-the-East. After some further
evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."

JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary,
London, England, 1855-11-20

(Prom the Morning Poe of this day.)

The appointment of Mr. Labouchere as Colonial
Secretary of State is an evidence that the duties of
that important post are better understood and appre-
ciated than they were some 20 years since, or even
nearer the present day. Lord Palmerston might,
no doubt, have chosen a more eloquent man than
the former President of the Board of Trade—he
might have fixed on one with more showy qualifi-
cations—on one whose name would have filled more
satisfactorily the ears of the multitude ; but he
would hardly have found a Secretary of more ster-
ling honesty, one on whose principles and conduct the
public could more fairly depend—one whose powers
of labour were better fitted to the vast work of the
office that he undertakes. It is singular how little
public attention is directed to this last important
quality. The world hears that Sir William Moles-
worth, whose hereditarily delicate constitution
sank beneath the arduous work of his place, is suc-
ceeded by Mr. Labouchere, and it asks not what is
his power of application to the eager claims of the
fifty colonies which are cast on his hands—noht
what is his ability to go justly and fairly through
the tortuous and angry quarrels of these difficult.
dependencies with the mother country and with
themselves—not how far he is able
.to
.decide. the
measure of interference to be exercised in Sierra
Leone, and the extent of protection to be shown to
Australia and to Canada. These are matters which
the public, in its present state of warlike ardour,
thinks little of—all it asks orcares for is, what
does the Colonial Secretary tiunli about the war

LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

This society inaugurated its first entertainment for
the season last evening, at Exeter-hall, by the perform-
ance of the oratorio of the " Messiah." The hall was crowd-
ed to excess, which may be attributed in no small degree
to a judicious reduction in the prices of admission to the
area and reserved seats. The artistes engaged to sing the
solo parts of the oratorio were Mrs. Sunderland, Mis■
Dolby, Mr. W. Cooper, and Mr. Lawler, but owing to
the serious illness of her mother Mrs. Sunderland was
unable to attend. Her place was raost efficiently sup-
plied, at a very short notice, by Miss Stabbach, whom
we regard as one of the most effective singers of sacred
musioAhat we have. As every portion of the " Messiah"
is now—thanks to the London Sacred Harmonic and its
kindred societies—so well known to, and appreciated by,
the public, it becomes a difficult matter to select any
point of novelty upon which to found remark. We can
only say, in justice to all parties identified with the per-
formance last evening, that they used theirbest exertions
to give due effect to the chef d'ceuvre of Handel, and that
they were rewarded throughout by the approval of the au-
dience. Miss Stabbach was in splendid voice, and she sang
with great power and finish the air, " Rejoice greatly,"
a repetition of which was called for, but the demand
was not persevered in. She was equally effective in the
other gems of the oratorio with which she had to deal.
_Miss Dolby sang, with all that grace and delicacy which
so mark her style, the recitative and air, " Behold a
Virgin," " 0 thou that tellest," and the air, " He was
despised." She also was deservedly applauded. Mr.
Cooper has not, we believe, been often heard at Exeter
Hall. He has had, however, frequent opportunities of
testing his abilities as a vocalist at the sacred concerts
held occasionally at St. Martin's Hall. He is a pleasing
and careful singer, and rightly understands what he has
to do. His voice is wanting in power, but he makes up
for this deficiency by the judgment which he displays in I
its management. He sung " Comfort ye," and " Thy
Rebuke," in a manner that justified the conductor in
selecting him to take the tenor parts in the oratorio last
evening. Mr. Lawler's fine, rich, and well-cultivated
L bass was heard to great advantage in the air, " Why do
the nations," and in the recitative and air, " Behold ! I
tell you"—" The trumpet shall sound." The choruses
were well given throughout, and the oratorio went off
with eclat. " The Hymn of the Allied Armies," by G.
Linley, preceded the oratorio. Mr. Surman, as con-
ductor, contributed materially to the completeness of
this rich musical treat.
