THE FLEET BEFORE CRONSTADT.

The St. Petersburg Gazette de la Police of the
10th publishes the following notice from the mili-
tary Governor-General of St. Petersburg :
" During the 6th (July) no change took place in
the position of the enemy's fleet. Between four
and five in the afternoon a gunboat, having another
boat in tow, approached within three and a half
versts of the redoubt situated at the extremity of
Cronstadt, and the latter boat threw in three shells.
Five volleys were fired from the redoubt and the
batteries contiguous, and both boats returned to
their fleet.
"On the 7th the fleet remained at the same
anchorage. At three o'clock a steamer and three
gunboats left the fleet anchored southward, and
approached the great roadstead, and at five o'clock
two gunboats went into the North Channel. The
enemy's rowing boats communicated with the Tal-
boukhine lighthouse."

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.

Yesterday the committee re-assembled at the usual
hour ; Mr. BERKELEY in the chair.
There was a full attendance of members to consider
the report, and of the public, in the expectation of hear-
ing it ; but its purport did not transpire. The com-
mittee remained in deliberation until nearly three
o'clock, and ultimately agreed to report to the following
effect :
"The committee find that, owing to the late period
of the session at which they were appointed, and the
short time still remaining at their disposal, it has been
impossible to carry the inquiry to its full extent. The
committee are convinced by the evidence already pro-
duced (and which is of a character entirely. to be relied
upon) that the act of last session, restricting the sale of
beer and liquors during certain hours of the
once Sun, has
been attended with unnecessary inconvennce day

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—The following very satis.
factory harvest report appears in the Limerick Re-
porter, received this morning :—" Never was there more
glorious promise of an early and plentiful harvest. We
have specimens of splendid wheat, nearly ripe, from the
farm of R. F. Goff, Esq., near Castle Connell ; we have
reckoned 80 grains in one of the ears. Potatoes are
healthy and good, and the yield promises to be most
fruitful. This day has been exceedingly hot after a night
of rather 12017 rain."

MAJOR-GENERAL CHESNEY.

Mr. ROEBUCK said that Major-General Chesney had
been appointed by the Duke of Newcastle to organise the
Turkish contingent. He accepted that office ; but when
Lord Panmure was appointed to his present position,
Major-General Chesney was informed that his services
world not be required. He bagged to ask the noble lord
whether he bad any objection to allow the printing of, the
letters of the Duke of Newcastle to Major-General Ches-
ney, the latter's acceptance of the office, and the communi-
cation of Lord Panmure ?

Lord PALME-RSTON—The service in which Major-
General Chesney was to be employed was not exactly in the
organisation of the Turkish contingent, but on different
service, which was not now intended to he carried on ' • and
when the organisation of the Turkish contingent was
determined upon, another officer, General Vivian, was
chosen for the purpose. It was only right to say that that
choice was made with reference to circumstances entirely
independent of anything personal between them. Her
Majesty's Government appreciated most frilly the merits of
General Chesney, who had performed very good and im-
portant services to the country upon the mission in which
he was formerly employed, and the reason why he had not
been selected upon the second occasion for a different ser-
vice was, that General Vivian was considered under all
circumstances to be the fit person to be selected.
RE-ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT.

Major REED asked +the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether, in the event of circumstances arising during the
recess calculated to put an end to hostilities, the noble lord
would consider it his duty to call Parliament together be-
fore ratifying terms of peace ?
Lord PALMERSTON —The only answer I can give to
that question is, :that if during the recess any circum-
stances arise which should, in the opinion of her Majesty's
Government, render it necessary or desirable to call Parlia-
ment together sooner than the usual period, they will, of
course, feel it their duty to do so. (Cheers and laughter.)
Major REED—Then I beg to give notice that I shall
place a resolution on the books of the house to-night in
relation to the subject. (Oh, and a laugh.)
INNS OF COURT COMMISSION.

Mr. CRAUFIIRD asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, whether the inns of court commission
had sent in their report ; and if so, how soon it would be
laid on the table ?

Sir G. GREY—The commission had not yet made its
report, and he was told the reason was that some of the
members were absent on circuit.
THE MASSACRE AT HANGC.

In answer to Sir H. vv ILLOUGHBY,
Sir C. WOOD said that dispatches had been received
from Admiral Dundaa, containing among other things a
letter from Lieut. Geneste, addressed to Capt. Fanshawe,
of the Cossack, and which had been forwarded by the
Russian authorities ; and he proposed to lay it, with other
correspondence between Admiral Dundas and the Russian
authorities, on the subject before the house. Ho was sorry
to add that the Russian authorities had refused to liberate
the prisoners.

ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL FROM THE

SEA.

The Times correspondent, in his letter from
Paris, dated yesterday evening, says :

" You are aware that the movements of the
squadrons in the Black Sea, and activity and pre-
paration lately observed, have occasioned rumours
of an approaching expedition to Odessa. I have
just heard another explanation of these movements,
but of the exactness of which I know absolutely
nothing, and I only give it as one of the various
rumours that reach us. It is that an expedition is
in fact preparing, but that its object is not Odessa,
but a much nearer point—namely, the port of Se-
bastopol. The rumour adds, moreover, that a bold
and desperate attempt will be made by 100 vessels
of every kind with 40,000 men, to force the pas-
sage, land in the midst of the place, while a simul•
taneous attack on land will be made, and that its
success is hardly doubted. Such is the rumour of
the day."
