BUDGET.

Mr. BRIGHT asked the right hon. gentleman the
President of the Board of Control, whether the report of
the Indian Salt Commission had been received in this
country, and, if so, when it would be laid before the
house He also wished to know when the right hon.
gentleman proposed to bring forward what was called the
Indian budget ?

Mr. V. SMITH said that the report in question had
not yet arrived in this country ; but as soon as it should
be received it would be laid before the house. With re-
gard to the production of what was called the Indian
budget, he begged leave to observe that there were at
that moment 32 orders of the day on the paper of the
house ; and under such circumstances he could not at
present hope for an opportunity of bringing forward any
other business. He bad also to state that the Indian ac•
counts, in their new and more complete and simple form,
had not yet been 'made up ; but as soon as they should
be ready he would take care to bring forward the Indian
financial statement on the earliest possible day.
Mr. BRIGHT said that the Indian budget had not
been submitted to the house last year until the very last
week of the session ; he should, therefore, feel it his
duty to take an early ,opportunity of ask'ig the right
hon. gentleman to fix a more fitting period for the con-
sideration of the same subject in the present year.
POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH
AUSTRALIA.
Lord NAAS asked the hon. gentleman the Secretary
to the Treasury what steps had been taken to restore
to the inhabitants of the Australian colonies the advan-
tages of steam postal communication.

-IVIr. WILSON said the house was aware that both the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, and the General
Screw Steam Shipping Company had become unable,
since the commencement of the war, to fulfil their seve-
ral contracts for the conveyance of the bi-monthly mails
to Australia. The Postmaster-General, with the consent
of the Treasury, had a few months ago asked the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company to enter into an arrange-
ment for the conveyance of a monthly mail to Australia
via Singapore, but had at the same time refused to can-
cel the contract with that company for the conveyance
of a bi-monthly mail. The company had'a4ced for time
to communicate with the Australian colonies before they
gave auy answer with respect to the proposed new ar-
rangement for a monthly mail ; and so that matte,- rested
for the present. A monthly mail had for some time
been conveyed to these colonies by clipper ships, which
had performed the journey with as much rapidity and
regularity as it had before been performed by steam-
vessels.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOLTSE.—Thomas Smart, a determined-
looking fellow, about 30 years of age, was charged before
Alderman Kennedy with an impudent highway robbery
on Jr. W. Young,• a plumber, residing at 23, Welling-
ton-street, Victoria-park, by robbing him of his watch
and chain. After Mr. Young's evidence, Smart said
defence that he had been out to fetch a bottle of medi-
cine, and was standing behind the prosecutor when a
younz man in front perpetrated the robbery.—Alder-
man Kennedy committed the prisoner for trial.

THE SUNDAY BIER BILL.-- A large meeting of the
inhabitants of Halifax has been held for the purpose of
giving an opinion on the Sunday Public-house Act. A
motion—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the clos-
ing of public-houses on Sundays is an infringement of
the rights and liberties of the people,"—was carried by
animmense majority.

LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY).

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Westminster in Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice
Erie and a special jury.)
BROWNE V. ABRAHAMS.

Mr. O'Mally, Q.C., Mr. Gray, and Mr. Salter were
for'the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Quain
for the defendant.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a dealer
in curiosities and estate agent, carrying on business in
Sloane-street, against the defendant, an attorney, of
Southampton-buildings, for an alleged illegal seizure and
distress of the defendant's goods and chattels. The de-
fendant had paid 301. into court as an indemnification for
the injury done the plaintiff by the distress complained
of, which the latter considered insufficient ; and the
question for the jury's consideration was the amount of
damages the plaintiff was entitled to under the circum-
stances.

The case was progressing when we went to press.

In this case, mentioned in our yesterday's impression,
the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs.

LATEST NEWS.

'HE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

VIENNA, JUNE 14, 2 P.M.

A despatch from Varna, dated yesterday, Wed-
nesday, June 13, says that the French troops had
been recalled from Kertch, probably to assist
in some great blow against Sebastopol.

Prince Gortschakoff, dating June 8, thus re-
ports on the assault of the previous evening :

The Allies kept up a very heavy bombardment
on the Gth and 7th, until six o'clock in the even-
in, when three French divisions advanced and
attacked Redoubt No. 7. They took the redoubt
on the Mamelon (Kamschatka), and the two re-
doubts (Selinghinsk and Volhynia) near Careen-
ing Bay, and also a battery between Selinghinsk
and Bastion No. 1.

Our troops re-took the Mamelon redoubt, but
,he French, strongly reinforced, again attacked,

and took it once more.

In the end we were masters of the battery (i.e.
;h• one between Selinghinsk and Bastion No. 1),
;he French holding a lodgment from which we

hope to repel them.

Our troops fought nobly, and the result is that
the enemy's loss exceeds ours. He has lost 2,500
and we have made 275 men and 7 officers pri-

soners. We have also taken two guns.

ST. PETERSBURG, THURSDAY.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, June 11.—The plan for the King's
movements this summer has been altered again,
and instead,of Erdmaunsdorff the Schloss Stolzen-
fell is now spoken of as the spot where the Royal
invalid is to obtain' change of air and relief from
his ague. The very wise folks here, who never
think anything worth the trouble of believing
that is not piquant from its improbability, give
as the reason for the Rhine trip being given up,
the apprehension that in visiting the common
frontier of Prussia and France, more particularly
the Prussian fortress of Star Louis, the King
would be exposed to.be greeted by some, member
of the Napoleon family. Considering how little
desire the present Emperor of France has ever
shown to thrust his own company or that of
his family on the Court of Prussia, the idea
might as well be rejected at once, unless there
should subsequently be anything in the movements
of the King that should betray a desire to enter
into more friendly relations with his Gallic 'neigh-
bour. At present I know of nothing to favour the
supposition that he has any such wishes.
There is no truth in the statement continued to
be put forward by Austrian journals that the Queen
of Prussia will as usual visit Ischl this year.
At the close of this week a new postal arrange-
ment will come into force between this place and
London, by which nearly a whole day will be saved
in'the transit of a letter from here to London.
According to the new arrangement to which the
Governments of Hanover and Brunswick have at,
length given their long-withheld reluctant consent,
letters will be posted here till late in the afternoon
of every day, and in 36 hours arrive in London.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

Despatches have been received in anticipation of
the Overland Mail. The dates are—Calcutta, May
4; Madras, May 9; Bombay, May 12.
The following is from the Bombay Times of May
12 :
During the ten days that have elapsed since the
despatch of our last summary, no events of very
general interest have transpired in India,which con-
tinues to remain perfectly tranquil. The disputes
between Rajah Goolab Singh and his nephew appear
to have been amicably settled. No further accounts
of the proceeding of the Meeranzaie expedition from
Peshawar have reached us, beyond a telegraphic
message to the effect that 2,000 hill men had at-
tacked the camp, and were driven back with the loss
of 15 killed and a great number wounded ; the
casualties on our side were three troopers wounded.
In the Nizam's dominions the Rohillas and other
mercenary tribes have been committing excesses of
all kinds; the Government troops employed to re-
press these irregularities have been successful. Ac-
counts continue to be received from the Burmese
frontier of a veryunsatisfactory nature, the Burmese
Chief Monng Bo being in open revolt. A golden
pagoda had been recently dug up in Rangoon of
the value of 2,0001. The murder of Lieutenant
Glasgow, of the 38th Bengal Native Infantry, two
months ago, by one of his sepoys at °attack, has
just been avenged, the murderer having been hanged
after trial by the civil authorities ; the villain was
indifferent to the last, and amused himself while
his irons were being taken of by heaping the most
horrid abuse on those around him. The career of
the Madras Exhibition was brought to a termina-
tion on the 28th ultimo, and Lord Harris has al-
ready announced the intention of Government to
hold another of a similar character early in 1857.
The Governor-General, we regret to say, continues
in indifferent health. Lord Elphinstone and Sir
Henry Somerset are still at Mahableshwar.—The
hot weather may now be said to have fairly set in
at Bombay, and all who can manage it have gone
away to the hills.—Business is very dull, as the
season is approaching to its close. Freights are
steadily rising—money is rather easier, and Ex-
change has further advanced.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.
The Great Western has arrived with intelligence
from Rio, May 15th.
The dispute between Paraguay and Brazils has
terminated fatally.
A change of ministry is expeeted at Brazil.
At Rio the coffee market is firm. Tonnage is
scarce. Exchange, 27* to 274 at 60 days. In

Her Majesty's ships Indefatigable and Trident
were at Rio.
The Great Western has brought- specie to tl.e
value of 25,0001. sterling, and 175 passengert.

THE RUSSIAN SUPPLY QUESTION•

It appears by private letters from Odessa, 0,. ~,.e 31st
ult., that the occupation of the Sea of Azoff by the
Allies was known there at that date, and had caused
p
great anxiety, although none of the details had
com.
trans-
menial relations with the coast towns of
the
ired. Many firms at Odessa,p who have keptlea of
Azoff, saw in the event the ruin of their trade
demand
At Rostow, near the mouth o had Don, the
for oats for the Russian cavalry greatly enhanced
the price, and on the 13th of May a contract was taken
English quarters,) for by several inhabitants of Rostov to supply 50,000 chet-
werts (100 chetwerts equal 74.4
delivery in the Crimea, at the unusual rate of 9 eilver
oubles 50 copecks, to be paid in assignatt.

EXPORTS.

COTTON Week—The market has continued very active, and
since receipt of the mail, bringing as it did improved accounts
of the staple at home, considerable ex,:itement has prevailed
among shippers, who have been acting freely at prices much
above those previously current, and in all close upon 10,00$
bales have been purchased on European account. Broach now
stands at Rs. 93, Dhollera at Rs. 86, and Oomrawutte Rs 77i
per candy, establishing an advance on last mail's quotation of
Rs. 2'to 4 per candy. The southerly winds still continue to
prevait and to increase in force, so that our supplies of cotton
are very limited. for the season, and as the -weather has a very
unsettled appearance, holders are not likely to relax in their
demands, and high prices the consequent result.
TONNAGE.— Rates of freight to Grew Britain. continued much
depressed and to give way until the arrival of the mail, which
caused renewed activity hi our cotton market, and we now
quote 3/. 12s. 6d. to 3/. 15s. per ton of 50 feet, having been
as low as 3/. 7s. 6d. for Loudon, and in a -very ordinary and
questionable vessel, 31: for LiVerpool. Seeds are nominally
at 3/. 17s. 6d.

EXCHANGE.—A rise in English exchange -took place on ar-
rival of the Norna on the 7th inst., with the China Mail, and
the business done may be quoted at 2s, lid. to 2s. lid. for
China and First Class Credits, and 2s. 14c1. for Documents.
On Calcutta we quote Rs. 99i at sight, Rs. 98 at 60 days'
sight, and on Madras Rs. 94 at 30 days' sight.
CALCUTTA, MAY 3.

Our produce markets have even shown les;; animation since
the last mail than for some time previous ; we can look for no
activity, under the generally depressing advices of the home
markets„unless at a very considerable reduction on the prices
lately ruling.—ln Piece Goods the importers are unable to
move off any large quantities, for although itc is known that
the up-country markets are bare, the disposition to speculate
is languid. The money market continues in the same unsatis-
factory state we noticed in our last issue ; a] 1 are lookingfor-
ward to a reduction of interest by the Bank of Bengal, but it
is understood that the state of the treasury .of that establish-
'wit will not justify the directors in loosenitog the screw.

SEA OF AZOFF, &e.

Copies of certain correspondence that have passed be-
tween the Admiralty and Vice-Admiral D. Dundas, re-
specting the blockade of the Sea of Azoff, and the
western shores of the Crimea, and the bombardment
of Odessa.

(No. 622)—Copy of a letter from the Secretary to the
Admiralty to Vice-Admiral D. Dundas.
Admiralty, October 13, 1854.
Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, with reference to the operations of the fleet under
your orders, to call your special and particular attention to
the necessity .f exercising the utmost vigilance and care in
preventing the movement of craft of all descriptions proceeding
out of the Bay of Kherson and the River Dniester ; and I am
to signify their directions to you to take every precaution in
your power to prevent communication with the Crimea from
ports in that direction.

My Lords are further of opinion tbat whenever the means
at your disposal will admit proper measures should be con-
certed with your colleague in command of the allied forces,
for obtaining an entrance by the Gulf of Kertch into the Sea
of Azoff, with a view to interrupt the communications of the
enemy with the eastern shores of the Crimea, to which their
Lordships have always attached the greatest importance.
In concert likewise with your colleagues, my Lords con-
sider that no opportunities should be lost to occupy the atten-
tion of the. enemy by frequent attacks upon all parts of the
coast, extending from the mouths of the Danube to the Isth-
mus of Perekop, and that any pvoper opportunity for the
bombardment of Odessa should not be omitted.—l am, &c.,
(Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON.

(No. 541).—Extracts of a Despatch from Vice-Admiral Dun-
das to the Secretary of the Admiralty; dated " Britannia,"
off the Katscha, Oct. 27, 1854.
(Received Nov. 12.)
Sir,—With reference to your letter, No. 622, of the 13th
inst. I beg you will acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty that the Sidon and Inflexible, together with
two, French steamers of war have been most active * * *
in preventing any force from entering the Crimea from
Odessa by the Ray of Kherson. * * * I have always
been fully aware of the value of the Sea of Az 1 to the
enemy, and that could only be atained by the possession of
Kertch. Some weeks ago I urged that 2,000 men should
be'embarked for that place ; but their lordships are aware
that, from disease and the action at Alma, our troops have
suffered great loss, and the French Admiral, when he ap-
plied to his General for assistance to attack Kertch, was
told of the impossibility of sending a man. The last report,
by a neutral, that we have is, that the navigation through
the straits of Kertch is entirely prevented by the enemy sink-
ing ships and stones ; and, under existing circumstances, all
I can do is, when I have steamers to spare from the duty
here, to send them off the port, to damage the enemy as much
as possible. . _

FRANCE.

Peals, Thursday.—lt may be remembered that
some time ago (a long while before the affair of
Pianori) several political arrests were made in
Paris. M. Brault, the judge of instruction by
whom the prisoners were examined, has now com-
pleted his investigations, and it is expected that in
a few days 54 persons will be tried by the correc-
tional police for the unlawful possession of arms, or
for being affiliated to secret societies.
M. Thouvenel, the newly-appointed ambassador
to Constantinople, has left Paris for his post.
The Bourse was greatly agitated. The Rentes
opened with a considerable fall, and, after a slight
reaction, fell again with rapidity. The closing price
was 681. 85c., being a fall of 40c. No particular
cause for the fall was assigned, beyond this, that
the " bulls" are thought to have overbought them-
selves. Credit Mobilier at one time fell 201., but
it recovered to within 2f. 50c. of yesterday's quo-
tation. Railways were calm, but prices fell a little.
The Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree opening
a supplementary credit of 14,375,000 fr. beyond
the sum fixed by the budget for the payment of
the interest on the floating debt and the services of
the treasury. Another decree opens a credit of
one million of francs to the Minister of Public
Works for the expenses of the Universal Exhibi-
tion.

The Emperor and Empress an d the D u.ke of Oporto
attended at the Grand Opera, last evening, the
first representation of the Vepres Siciliennes. The
first act was somewhat coldly received, but during
the second enthusiastic acclamations were heard,
and M. Verdi, the composer, was called for una-
nimously at the close.
I hear it said, by some musical critics, that the
maestro has repeated himself to a great extent in
this opera. So great was the public curiosity to
be present on the first night that as much as 1801.
was in many instances paid for a stall.
Various rumours were afloat here to-day about
Austria and Russia. Of the former it was said
that explanations are demanded on the Austrian
Commander-in-Chief in the Danubian Principali-
ties proclaiming martial law there without asking
the consent or even consulting Turkey or the Allied
Powers. And of the latter, that large reinforce-
ments, consisting of troops drawn from the Pruth,
were on their way to the Crimea.
It appears that all the gun-boats, mortar vessels,
and floating batteries destined to operate in the
Bait is are to rendezvous at Cherbourg. 14 are corn-
plet ely armed and manned, and ready to put to sea,
namely, the floating battery Devastation, the steam
gum-boats Eclair, Etincelle Dragonne, Algrette,
Vulminate, Tempete, and Tourmente, the sailing

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, June 10.—An innate love of fair play
has induced me to lay before you the arguments
employed by the Austrian Government in defence
of its policy, but my duty as an independent
correspondent must now be performed. The ob-
ject of Austria has been, by warlike demonstra-
tions, to obtain from Russia the terms which she
considers most conducive to her interests, and the
St. Petersburg Cabinet, in order to keep her quiet,
has yielded to her demands. By maintaining a
certain independence of action, Austria also ex-
pected to be able to exercise a direct influence
on the policy of the Western Powers, but her as-
sistance was not indispensably necessary, as has
recently been most satisfactorily proved, and, con-
sequently, England and France refused to accept
terms which, however agreeable to Austria, would
have been both unsatisfactory and hfimiliating for
the Western Powers. The fact is, that Austria
is jealous of the influence of the Western
Powers at Constantinople, and the real motive
for her occupation of the Principalities was to
obtain a material guarantee as well against Eng-
land and France as against Russia. When the
armies of the two last-mentioned Powers quit the
Turkish and Russian territories in the Black Sea,
Austria will also withdraw her army of occupation
from Moldavia and Wallachia, but certainly not
before. Since the Eastern question has been under
discussion only one opportunity has presented itself
of getting Austria to place herself on a level with the
allies and thatwas lost, because people at home knew
too little of the Vienna terrain,. If the fourth point
had been brought forward while the Russian Mini-
sters were obtaining their instructions relative to
the third, there would assuredly have been "a row"
between Russia the Greek and Austria the Catho-
lic. , The High Church party, which is just now
extensively powerful in this empire, could also
easily have neutralised the influence of the
Russian nation. Last night Baron Hess, the
Commander-in-Chief of the 3d and 4th Armies,
and Baron Kellner, one of the Emperor's Adju-
tants, left Vienna for Gallicia. Official informa-
tion has to-day reached me that the Emperor
will leave for Gallicia on Tuesday morning. His
Majesty will inspect the troops in Gallicia and the
Bukowina, and possibly in Transylyania ; but he is
not likely to be long absent, as the reason said to
have been given by Baron Hess to Generals Letan
and Craufurd for not taking them to the army with
him was, that the Emperor would travel with such
great rapidity that they would be able to see little
or nothing. My opinion, as you will perhaps re-
collect, always was, that the high military autho-
rities in this city never intended to let the Com-
missaries of the Western Powers accompany Baron
Hess to the army.
