THE HAMPTON COURT PALACE PICTURES.
Mr. Cr. LANGTON asked the Chief Commissioner of
Public Works whether he was aware that one. of the
pictures at llampton Court Palace had been recently
missed fiom that collection, and that several others Lad
been very seriously damaged ; and, if so, what steps had
been taken to recover the missing picture and to pro-
tect the gallery from further injury ?
Sir W 7 MOLESWORTH said his attention had been
called to the fact of mischief having been done to the
pictures at Hampton Court, and that he had directed
rewards to be offered for the detection of offenders in
uture. (Hear, hear.)

THE "ANDERSON" CLAIMS.
Mr. MAGUIR.E asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether the claims of the late Mr. John Ander-
son of Fermoy, whose services to the State had been
the subject of frequent recognition by members of sue-
eessi Ve Administrations, ar.; well as by the general public,
had been brought before him by his son and representa-
tive Sir James Anderson, and whether these claims had
been taken. into consideration ?
Lord FA LAfERTON said he had within the laa.lew
days received an application from Sir J. Anderson on
the subject. The claims in question had been. under -the
consideration of previous Administrations,,,but, as
was unacquainted ittith their nature, he could
not then

to them. •

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 9th, in the
Hamburg News, says :—" The destruction of the
telegraphs and the light houses on the coast of
Finland, including those of Tolbuchin and Kras-
naitgorka, the two nearest to the capital, has had
for its first result that we scarcely hear anything
of the movements of the fleet between Cronstadt
and Revel. The general uneasiness and agitation
are thus increased, for although it is loudly de-
clared that Cronstadt is impregnable, and that no
fear is felt as regards it, yet the proximity of so large
a hostile fleet cannot fail to inspire considerable
anxiety." _

A letter from Vienna, in the Hamburg News,
says :—" Letters from Warsaw contradict a report
of the departure of a further part of the Guard for
the Crimea, but it is, nevertheless, true that move-
ments of troops are constantly going on, and that
the army of General Gortsohakoff recei vesreinforce-
meets constantly. At the commencement of the
present month, two regiments of grenadiers, two
Uhlans, and several of chasseurs, left Poland for
the Crimea."

were in fact precluded from taking any other course than
they did, as they had pledged themselves to contract no
further loan for England till the last instalment of the last
was paid.

Mr. WALPOLE thought the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer had risen to withdraw this resolution, and he regret-
ted he had not done so. The arguments were unanswered,
and he believed unanswerable; and there was this remark-
able circumstance, that not a single independent member
had given an unqualified support to the Government pro-
pos ti on.

Lord PALMERSTON spoke again, and taunted the hon.
gentlemen who had made general warlike professions' and
even attacked the Government for insincerity with now
flinching from their own professions, and refusing this
comparatively small contribution for the vigorous prosecu-
tion of the war.

The committee then divided—
For the resolution

This announcement was received with cheers and counter
cheers by the committee.
The resolution being thus carried, the house resumed.

it seemed probable that Russia would agree to
nothing that would interfere with the determi-
nation that the EMPEROR ALEXANDER announced
of carrying out the policy of PETER and of
CATHERINE.'

Up to this period nothing could be more de-
cided or energetic than the conduct and language
of the Foreign Secretary, and some time elapsed
before any great change was perceptible. We
know that, the Austrian propositions were debated
in the Cabinet from the 29th April to the 7th of
May, and on the Bth of the latter month he for-
warded a despatch to the Earl of WESTMORELAND,
temperately, but firmly announcing that the time
had arrived for England and France to invite
Austria, in fulfilment of her engagements, to con-
cert with them the measures for giving immediate
effect to the Treaty of December 2d. On the 29th
of May this demand was more earnestly pressed,
stating what the engagement was, and calling to
Austria to perform her part, while on the 2d of
June he pointed out the sacrifices that had up to
that time been made for the Austrian Alliance ;
and on the 13th of June he stated to Count
COLLOREDO that " the continuation of the War
must, to a certain extent, change the position of
Austria and her Allies towards each other, unless she
took part in the War, in fulfilment of her engage-

On the 26th June, however, all this was
changed. The Noble Earl then thought that
" the proceedings of Austria did not justify cen-
sure," and he declared that she would continue to
occupy the Principalities without let or hindrance,
and practically contradicted his own assertion on
the 13th of June, less than a fortnight previously.
We ask, then, what was the cause of that change
in the most trusted member of the Government ?
Why has Lord CLARENDON so completely altered
his tone ? We hope that some explanation may
be given on this point, which has occasioned con-
siderable anxiety to the community, and that we
may know whether it has been produced by a
section of the Cabinet or by the unconstitutional
interferences of irresponsible parties ? Had the
Papers above referred to been published previous
to Lord LYNDHURST'S celebrated speech, it
would have furnished the veteran Statesman
with weapons of irresistible power ; and
there are abundant reasons why he may once
more, before the terminadon of the session, call
the attention of the House of Peers to " the ano-
malous position of Austria in her relation to the
Allied Powers. At present all that is known is,
that we have been completely bamboozled —have
been humiliated, and made laughing-itocks of in
the sight of Europe ; and it seems as if we were
afraid to demand the satisfaction to which we are
so eminently entitled ! Such imputations are
peculiarly unpleasant, and it should be ascer-
tained whether we are to rest contented under
the disgrace and injury occasioned to us by Aus-
trian duplicity and insincerity, or possibly, as a
reward for her misconduct, to hand over Mol-
davia and Wallachia to the tender mercies of
Austria, who seems resolved to retain permanently
the Principalities, into the possession whereof
she was so improvidently permitted to enter.

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
mater of cur rise 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
•ratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this 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
crester confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the Urethra."—Medleal Cireu:ar.

the Kirg of the Belgians, and both Royal families, went along-
side her in the Fairy, and the Queen was pleased to inquire
minutely of Captain Baker into the state of the gallant fel-
lows, the nature of their wounds, and their general health,
on which her Majesty exhibited the deepest interest and sym-
pathy. On her Majesty taking leave the officers, crew, and
invalids on board the Hydaspes manned her bulwarks, poop,
and rigging, and some of the yards and tops, and vociferously
cheered the Royal personages, who graciously acknowledged
the tribute from the deck of the Fairy.

BOW-STREET.-(11.E1 IS DAY.)

INFRINGING THE EXCISE LAWS. —Edgar May WOR
this morning placed at the bar charged with letting out
horses for lure, he not having a license to do so.
From the evidence of the exciseman it appeared that
the defendant conveyed him from Three Colts-lane to
Rick-road, for which he paid him three shillings. The
defendant had not a license to let out horses.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, stated that, at
about half-past ten o'clock on the night of the Bth of May
last the gentleman (the exciseman) came to him and
asked him to carry him to Three-Colt's-lane upon urgent
business. Thinking he would be doing a kindness, and
that the three shillings would buy his horse a bit of corn,
he accepted the offer, and he did not deny conveying
the gentleman. He had since learned that he had com-
mitted an offence, but he trusted that the magistrate
would deal leniently with him. If he was sent to prison
his family would be utterly ruined.
The magistrate fined him 251.

Another man, who stated that be kept a coal and
potatoe shop in the neighbourhood, was also summoned
for a similar offence.

The defendant did not deny the truth of the Excise-
officer's statement, but expressed a wish to give his
version of the transaction. He stated that about
ten o'clock the "gentleman" came to his shop, and
asked him if he could "get him up" to Stratford.
The gentleman seemed very touch tired and overdone,
and appeared very anxious to get to the abovernentioned
place. He (the defendant) thinking he should be doing
a kindness to the stranger, went and brrrowed a cart
from a neighbour, and put his own horse in it, and after
proceeding a short distance towards Stratford, finding it
would be too late to catch any of the trains, the stranger
desired him to drive him to Three Colts-lane, which he
accordingly did.
_

The defendant admitted receiving the 33. in payment,
and a•lded that if he had seen his Worship under similar
circumstances, " hard up," he should have considered
he was doing a kind act in taking him to where he
wanted to get. He had since taken out a licence, which
was all he c ,uld He also added, very ingenuously,
that the cart was not his property, only the horse.
Mr. Henry said the offence was for hiring the horse
and not the cart, and that as the defendant had been
guilty of the offence by his own admission, he had no
alternative but to inflict the mitigated penalty of 251.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE HYDASPES.

We learn by electric telegraph from Portsmouth, that the
General Screw Steam Company's transport Hydaspes, No. 87,
Captain Baker, arrived at Spithead last evening from the
East, with the passengers and invalids. On the Hydaspes near-
ing Cowes about six o'clock, her Majesty and Prince Albert,
the King of the Belgians, and both Royal families, went along-
side her in the Fairy, and the Queen was pleased to inquire
minutely of Captain Baker into the state of the gallant fel-
lows, the nature of their wounds, and their general health,
on which her Majesty exhibited the deepest interest and sym-
pathy. On her Majesty taking leave the officers, crew, and
invalids on board the Hydaspes manned her bulwarks, poop,
and rigging, and some of the yards and tops, and vociferously
cheered the Royal personages, who graciously acknowledged
the tribute from the deck of the Fairy.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
The Lord Chancellor sat iu the Oki Hall Lincoln's-
Inn, to-day, awl after disposing of the lunatic petitions
—ln re Franklin, and the notion in the case of the
Queen v. Calder, proceeded to bear the further argu-
ments in the part-heard appeal of Bate v. Hooper,
which occupied the Court to its rising.

ROLLS COURT.
PITAGERALD V. MORGAN—JUDGMENT.
The Master of the Rills gave judgment in this
case, which was heard before hum a few days
ago. Tae bill was filed by the plaintiff for
the purpose of obtaining the specific performance
for contract alleged to have been entered into between
the plaintiff and the defendant, whereby the latter, who
is a cowkeeper, agreed to take a lease from the plaintiff
of certain premises in the Coach and Horse Yard, Bar-
tholomew•close. The defendant by his answer asserted
that no contract had been entered into, and that if any
such contract had been entered into on his part, he had
executed it under misrepresentation and mistake, the
defendant not understanding fully the provisions of the
contract. The master of the Rolls after going at considerable
length into the circumstances of the case, stated his clear
opinion to be that the letters that had passed between
the parties constituted a fully concluded agreement, and
he must therefore decree a Apecific performance of it,
reserving all the costs, and referring the case to Cham-
bers to see whether a good settlement could be made.

IfYWIELD Y. ATKINS.
His Honour also gave judgment in this case, declar-
ing that the plaintiff was entitled to the interest of 9001.
for her life, and ordering that sum to be brought into
Court.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION AND Till

SOCIETY OF ARTS.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert has suggested, in
the following letter to the council of the Society of Arts,
the propriety of their visiting the Paris Exhibition, ac-
cunpanied by the associated institutions, now, we be-
lieve, amounting to nearly 400 :
" Osborne, July 23, 1855.
"My dear Sir,—His Royal Highness the Prince having
considered the subject, which seems to have been under
discussion in the council of the Society of Arts—namely,
that of the society visiting the Paris Exhibition in
a body, and, if possible, together with the delegates from
the 400 associated institutions—has commanded 4me to
express to you his conviction that much benefit would
arise from the execution of this plan to the many impor-
tant and useful objects which the society is constituted to
promote.

" The prominent part taken by the society in originating
the Great Exhibition of 1851, naturally suggests the wish
that its members should visit together its sequel at Paris.
" The point, however, to which his Royal Highness
would attach most importance would bo their being en-
abled by a close inspection of that vast collection of the
products of all nations, and a conscientious comparison of
them with those of the Exhibition of 1851, advantageously
to discuss together with the members of the affiliated so-
cieties the question by what means the progress of science
and art would best be promoted in this country.
"The visit would also afford an opportunity of testing
the principles upon which the acknowledged great improve-
ments lately made in the French metropolis have been car-
ried on, and considering how far they may with advantage
be applied to our circumstances at home.
" Sincerely yours,
" P. Le Neve Foster, Esq." "C. B. PHIPPS.
Thu council of the Society of Arts are now making
arrangements to carry out the plans recommended to
them by his Royal Highness the Prince President of the
society. We are informed the visit will take place early
in September, and that facilities for the trip to Paris and
back will be afforded by the railway companies.
London, England, 1855-07-28

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian officers who had entered the Tur-
kish service as instructors have returned to Berlin,
having been compelled to definitively renounce the
employments which they held in Turkey.
A letter of Berlin, of the 23d, in the Lithographed
Correspondence, says :—" Little hope is now enter-
tained of re-establishing the treaty of commerce be-
tween Belgium and the Zollverein. The commercial
relations between the two countries have not ceased
to increase even since the treaty has expired. Ac-
cording to a report of the Prussian consul-general
at Antwerp, these relations will meet with no
interruption so long as the transit of the merchan-
dise of the Zollverein through Belgium shall remain
free, and the vessels of the Zollverein be not sub-
jected to higher port dues than those of Belgium.
Several Belgian commercial journals have declared
that Belgium has no interest in the re-establish-
ment of the treaty."
A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, says :—" M.
von der Heydt, the Prussian Minister of Commerce,
has just sent an order from Paris to organise plea-
sure trains, at reduced prices, for the French
capital."

The Empress Dowager of Russia will, it is said,
accompany the Prince of Prussia on his return to
Berlin.

The Hanover Gazette states, in a letter from Ber-
lin of the 24th, that it was probable that the Diet,
at its next sitting, would definitively terminate the
affair relative to the Austrian declaration. The
difficulty raised by the representative of Bavaria
has been :removed by instructions which he has
received to accede to the resolution of the Diet, to
which the other members of that assembly had al-
read y agreed.

NATIONS.

Lord ELCHO complained of certain statements touch-
ing his own conduct with regard to the Scotch survey,
made by Lord Seymour during the recent debate on that
subject, denying that he had endeavoured to obtain a sur-
vey advantageous to himself as a landed proprietor at the
üblic expense.
Lord SEYMOUR having explained his meaning in the
statements alluded to, the subject dropped after a few
words from Lord Palmerston.
Some discussion having arisen respecting the commission
appointed to investigate the subject of decimal coinage,
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. GLADSTONE
vindicated the impartiality of the selected commissioners,
and denied that either of the three members named had
arrived at any foregone conclusion on the subject.
In reply to a question from Sir J. WALSH,
Lord PALMERSTON said that Omer Pasha had gone
to Constantinople for the purpose of making arrangements
respecting some military equipments, but that he had no
intention of resigning his command.
The motion was then agreed to.

LATEST NEWS.

DANTZIC, FRIDAY.

The Lightning has arrived from the fleet. The
latter has been reinforced, but nothing of import-
ance had taken place. The order to attack Revel
was still looked for.

NYBORG, FRIDAY.

The French war steamers Aigrette, Fulminante,
Drawonne, and Abaranche, arrived to-clay, and
proceeded to Kiel.

HELIGOLAND, FRIDAY.

The immediate construction of a citadel is in-
tended. The plans and estimates have been sent
to London.

FRANKFORT, THURSDAY.

The Diet accepted to-day the Austrian proposal
as brought before it on the 19th instant, with the
additional three points proposed by Prussia.

We have received from St. Petersburg Prince
Gortschakoff's account of the general posture of
affairs to the 10th inst. He observes that the
besiegers are opening new trenches, raising the
height and increasing the strength of the parapets
©f their batteries, and opening new embrasures ;
and that, on the other hand, his loss has been
moderate, and that the sorties of the 7th and

Bth were very successful.
Prince Labanoff Rostovsky writes from Genitchi
that on the 27th ult. 9 steamers came in sight of
that place, and next day a screw steamer and a
gun-boat approached and opened fire on a convoy of
salt waggons, several of which were burnt. From
the 28th of June to the 2d of July he says the
squadron kept up a constant bombardment of
Genitchi, and the boats detached from it set on
fire the farms to a distance of 30 versts. On the
sth of July the squadron left. The Prince says
the Genitchi detachment has since been rein-
forced, and the bridge of Tchongar has been pro-
tected by new fortifications. He further mentions
a visit of an enemy's steamer to Petroasky, near
Berdiansk. A eannonade was kept up for 4 hours
and a half. The Russians had ono officer and six
men wounded. Seventeen houses and a church
were injured. The frigate had been joined by
four steamers on the 25th ult., when the report
left.

TURKISH LOAN.

Lord PALMERSTON stated it to be his intention
when the house resumed at six o'clock to move that all
the other orders of the day should be postponed for
considering the Turkish Loan Bill in committee.
The house adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock to 6.

The house resumed at six o'clock.
ORDER OF MERIT.

Lord ELCFIO asked the First Lord of the Treasury if the
intention of instituting a new order of merit for distin-
guished services in the field, which was publicly announced
by the Duke of Newcastle in the month of December, had
been abandoned ; and if not, what was the cause of the
delay, and when it was probable that it would be instituted
and ready for distribution ?
Lord PALMERSTON—It was the intention of Govern-
ment to issue the regulations for instituting the new order
as soon as possible. The only cause of delay had been,
that when they came to make detailed arrangements as to
the practical test that was to be applied to private soldiers,
and matters of that sort, more difficulties were encountered
than they had anticipated ; he hoped, however, that those
difficulties would very shortly bo surmounted. (Hear.)
