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

The Earl of HARROWBY presented several petitions
in favour of closing public-houses on Sundays.
The Earl of HARDWICKE moved for certain re-
turns respecting the transport service, and also for re-
turns in respect to the means of education afforded in
the naval service.
The Earl of EGLINTON gave notice that on Monday
he should ask a question relative to the Ordnance sur-
vey in Scotland.

LOSS OF HORSES ON BOARD THE MEDWAY.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to ask whe-
ther Government had received any information with re-
spect to the loss of 65 horses off Gibraltar, while
on the passage to Balaklava. He had been speaking to a
gentleman who had seen the horses shipped on ward
the Medway, and he expressed his apprehensions at the
time that unless there was very fair weather
during the whole of the passage to Balakrava, there
would be great difficulty attending the safety of the
horses that were placed upon deck. It appeared that
the weather turned out very stormy, and the loss of the
horses to the extent he had stated. He thought that
the system of placing horses on deck should never be sanc-
tioned except in cases of the greatest necessity.
Lord PANMURE said he was sorry to say that" he
had received a letter from Admiral Grant, from Gibraltar,
confirming the report of the loss of those horses placed
oa board the Medway. , The vessel had, it appeared,
met with a most violent hurricane on the 13th and 14th
ult., which had occasioned the accident referred to.

RUSSIA.

The Abeille of St. Petersburg gives the following
version of the language lately used by the Czar at
Cronstadt, and which some persons considered
peaceful. The words attributed to his Majesty in
the above journal appear, on the contrary, rather
indicative of war. It says : "On the 9th, the
town of Cronstadt was honoured by a visit of the
Emperor. The inhabitants presented their Sove-
reign, according to ancient custom, with bread and
salt. His Majesty received his subjects with kind-
ness, and concluded his reply to them with the fol-
lowing words : Pray to God for the repose of the
soul of the late Emperor Nicholas I. He loved
you, and so will I. Pray to God. Wo will not
allow Cronstadt to fall into the power of the enemy.
With the will of God, peace will return, and then
your commerce will again improve.' After the de-
parture of our beloved monarch, we felt that our
hearts were full of faith in Providence, of devoted-
ness to the Czar, and of love for our country. Each
of us now repeats the words of one of our celebrated
Russian heroes. We will not allow our country
to be humiliated ; we will leave our bones here for
our Czar and our hearths.''
We have received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 26th May.
In a despatch dated 21st May Prince Gortscha-

STOCKHOLM, May 25.—From the rather unusual
circumstance of the Council of State having been
convened twice during the course of this week, it
is generally believed that the King has laid before
that body the decision of himself and his ministers
on the all-important question of the foreign

THE CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

This theatre has great claims to public patronage ; the
pieces selected are always of a superior order, and placed
on the stage in a most perfect and correct manner.
The spirited engagement of Mr. Charles Mathews will
afford the eastern part of London a theatrical treat as great
as unexpected. There is no actor on the British stage
so calculated to draw an audience as Mr. C. Mathews,
and moat deservedly so, for his talent is of the first order.
Messrs. Johnsen and Nelson Lee will doubtless meet
with the reward of their energy in catering fur the mil-
lion. Monday next is the commencement of this levia-
than engagement. The opening pieces selected are "A.
Game of Speculation " and " Patter versus Clatter," in
both of which Mr. Charles Mathews cannot be ap-
proached. He will appear in his great part of Sir
Charles Coldstream, in " Used up," on Tuesday. This
distinguished comedian will• be supported throughout
the engagement by Miss Eliza Arden, from the Lyceum
and Drury-lane Theatres, Miss Sarah Lewis, from the
Surrey Theatre, Mr. William Searle, and the principal
members of the City Company. Particular attention is
to be paid to the mice-en-scene, and everything done to
render to the various productions t heir origin al splendour.
Reserved seats will he. introduced, but the general
prices are not to be raised, which will afford an oppor-
tunity of witnessing this favourite of royalty and great
artiste without a journey to the west. A number of
private boxes are already secured. We wish the specu-
latioi success.

THE BALTIC BLOCKADE.

The Earl of ALBEY.,I7'LE wished to ask whether
the Russian Givernmen; fj justified in asserting that
this country had departed num the principle originally
laid down for conducting the blockade, viz., that a neu-
tral flag should cover the cargo. This fact had arisen
out of the proclamation of the blockade of Port Baltic,
and other ports in the Gulf of Finland, on the 28th of
April last, by Captain Watson.
The Earl of GRA.I•;VILLE replied that there was
foundation whatever for the statement so put forward.
The Earl of HA.RROWBY further explained that nei-
ther Captain Watson nor his lieutenant had given any
cause whatever for such an assertion.
THE IRISH PEERAGE.

The Earl of DERBY gave notice, that on Monday
next he would call their lordships' attention to the cir-
cumstance attending the creation of the title of Baron of
Fermoy, a subject which was of the greatest importance,
as it would raise the whole question of the Irish Peerage.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. •
The Moniteur contains decrees confirming seven
promotions to the rank of officer and 85 nominations
to that of knight in the Legion of Honour, as well
as the grant of 230 military medals, made by the
Commander-in-Chief of the army of the East.
A letter from Marseilles of the Ist, says :
" General Walsin Esterhazy has just left this port
for Constantinople, in the Carmel, which vessel has
taken out troops and stores. The Egyptian steam-
frigate, the Ferdi-Gihan, arrived here yesterday
from Alexandria. She is about to carry out a
second cargo of mules purchased in France,
for the Pacha of Egypt. The Montigello also ar-
rived here yesterday from Naples, with 120 pas-
sengers on board. Mount Vesuvius, she brings
word, had ceased its eruption, the flames having
entirely ceased. A thick black smoke, however,
was still issuing from the crater, when the Monti-
gello left."
The Diction frigate left Marseilles on the Ist for
Constantinople, with a full cargo of materiel on
board.

The screw steam-transport La Gironde, of 1,200
tons, was launched at Bordeaux on the 30th ult.,
and the gun-boat La Meurtriere at Toulon on the
31st.

Accounts from Martinique state that the inhabi-
tants of that island, being desirous of joining 'in
the patriotic manifestations of the mother country
in favour of the army of the East, spontaneously
opened subscriptions for that purpose. The go-
vernor of the colony has transmitted a first instal-
ment of 3,000 f. to the Minister of Marine, and the
corvette Recherche, which has just arrived at
Brest, has brought 1G barrels and 4 cases containing
cigars, tobacco, preserves, &c., for the use of the
army.
Letters have been received from Jerusalem to the
14th ult. The Holy City had once more returned
to its usual quiet. All the pilgrims, who had come
from the west had re-embarked, some at Jaffa and
others at Caipha, or Beyrout. Tranquillity has
been restored in the mountains of Judea.

LAW INTELLIGENCE- (THIS DAY.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco.)
HARGRAVES V. HAYES.

Mr. Millword applied to set aside an order of Mr.
Justice Erle, made at chambers, for the arrest of the
defendant, on the ground—first, that the affidavit on
which the order was made was bad on the face of it.
The affidavit stated that the defendant was " justly and
fairly indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 251. 6s. 6d.,
balance of account for railway stock and shares sold by
him to the defendant," but did not state "delivered,"
as required in accordance to law and the rule of the
Court ; secondly, that the affidavit, which stated it was
an affidavit in the cause, was wrong, because it was
dated the day tiefore the issue of the writ, and, conse-
quently, there could be no jurisdiction when the cause
was not in court ; and thirdly, the terms of the act were
that the affidavit should state a belief the defendant was
about to leave the country, unless "forthwith appre-
hended," which he had omitted to do.

The Court were unanimously of opinion the order
could not be set aside on the grounds stated by the
learned counsel, and refused the application.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a moderate business doing i n wheat in most
of the country markets held on Saturday, yet scarcely any
change took place in the quotations. The barley trade
ruled inactive, on former terms. Other kinds of spring
corn, including flour, realised full prices.
_ .

The latest advices from New York s tate that both
grain and flour were in improved request, and that the
latter article was somewhat dearer. Most of the Conti-
nental markets are firm, at enhanced quotations.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. The imports frova abroad were
34,697 qrs. of wheat, 3,305 barley, 38,1559 cats, 4,521
beans, 1,036 pease, 53 tare; 5,340 linseed, 1,514 rapeseed,
72 mustard seed; 66 sundry seeds, 2,814 sacks and 767
barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very
moderate; consequently, the show of samples was small.
Although the demand for all kinds was by no means active,
factors—owing to the arrival of intelligence that the Ells-
sians have stopped the export of grain from Galatz—wero
very firm in their demands. In some instances millers
were compelled to pay is per quarter more money for
good qualities, and the value of other kinds was well sup-
ported.

NAPOLEON AND CONSTANTINOP LE.

In his seventh volume of the Consulate and Empire
M. Thiers narrates the negotiations and confidential in-
terTurse of the two Emperors; in July, 1807, at Tilsit.
There, he tells us, they discussed `f that immense system
by which they were held joint rulers over Europe. The
possible, the probable partition of the Turkish empire,
w.:73 the continual topic of conversation." Napoleon was
to have the maritime provinces, Russia the banks of the
Danube as far as the Balkans.
One day, says the historian, " the two Emperors,
on returning from a long ride, shut themselves up in the
writing cabinet, where numerous maps were spread out.
Napoleon, app,_!rently continuing a conversation briskly
begun with Alexander, desired M. de Meneval to bring
the map of Tarkey, unfolded it, then resumed the
conversation, and, suddenly clapping his finger on Con-
s:‘.ctinople, exclaimed several times, regardless of being
he :rd by his secretary, in whom he had absolute confi-
dence—Constantinople I. Constantinople! Never! 'tis
the Empire of the world!"
M. Thiers adds in a note that he had these particu-
Lzi.,, !rom M. de Meneval himself, and, that their accu-
racy is guarantee .I by the 'correspondence of MM. de
f'avary and de Caulaincourt. They prove, he remarks,
tleC, notwithstanding all the efforts of Alexander, the
xiit of the Bailians was never passed.
The Occult Treaty signed at Tilsit, he further*states,
merely contained a stipulation that in case the Turkish
Government refused the mediation of France, its Euro-
pean provinces, excepting Constantinople andßoumelim,
should be relieved "from the vevations of the Porte."
Anxious, then, as Napoleon was in 1807 to gain the
R;;;.3ian alliance, there was one price he would not pay
for it. He would not tolerate Russian dominion,south
of the Balkans ; and though he professed, under certain
contingencies,
a willingness to advance the Russian
frontiers to that range, subsequent events proved that
he was insincere in those professions, and never intended
any real augmentation of the Russian empire at fhe ex-
pease of the Sultan.—Examiner.

DINNER AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor
and the Lady Mayoress entertained at dinner on Satur-
day last, in the Egyptian Hall, a number of the judges
and of members of the bar, with some other guests,
amounting in all to about 150. The "loving cup"
having been sent round with the forms prescribed by
immemorial usage, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts
were given by his lordship, and cordially received by
the company. The Lord Mayor then proposed " the
Health of her Majesty's Judges," coupling with the
toast the name of Lord Campbell, and passing a glowing
enlogiurn on the ability, the learning, and the integrity
'which those distinguished personages displayed in dis-
charging the duties of their high offices. The toast
having been duly honoured, Lord Campbell acknow-
ledged the compliment. He said that he and his brother
judges felt deeply the high honour which bad been con-
ferred upon them on that occasion. Some otilltrr, toasts
followed, and the company separated at au cagy hover.

no great difficulty, for it is said not to be much
longer than Waterloo-bridge, will have a vast
effect on the future operations in the Crimea, and
if we can only close the communication by
Perekop, which may not be very difficult either,
for we can land troops within. 20 miles of it, all
the entrances to the Crimea will be hermetically
sealed, and the Russians will, like rats in a trap,
be compelled to surrender at discretion for want ,
of food and other necessaries.
The taking of the various positions in the Sea
of Azoft, particularly that of Genitchi, cuts off the
supplies from the river Don, which debouches
to the north-east of the Sea of Azoff. But we
must not forget that there are three other im-
portan, rivers running through the heart of
Russia, and navigable for considerable distances.
There is the Dniester, which constituted the
boundary of Russia until the cession of Bessarabia,
in 1812, and which falls into the Euxine on the
north-west, not far 'from Odessa. The Boug, or
Bug, the former boundary, which passes Nico-
laieff, one of the great Russian arsenals, and the
Dnieper, which runs from Ekaterinovslaf in a
south-westerly direction, and debouches into the
Gulf of Perekop, only forty miles from the
isthmus. With our naval power we may easily
command these rivers, and strike a formidable
blow at the power and commerce of Russia in the
East.

Let us not waste or misapply the opportunity.
Let our Ministers only prove themselves imbued
with the national spirit, and Russia will no longer
be formidable ; she will be thrown back at least
a century and a half, and lose all that she has ac-
quired since the reign of the first PETER. Let Hon.
Gentlemen look to it, for the Government will
only yield to a very strong pressure from without
on such a point. They will still truckle to Ger-
manism if permitted to do so.

NORT FLEASTERN.

A special meeting of this company was held at York
on Saturda➢ ; Mr. Leeman in the chair.
The meeting was convened to take into consideration
three bills now before Parliament. The first bill to
which the Chairman directed attention was one pro-
moted by the Great Northern Company, the purpose of
which is to enable that company to increase its own
capital, and also to confirm an arrangement made with
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company for vesting in
the Great Northern Company one-half of the viaduct
lines in Leeds, by which that company would gain ac-
cess both to the high-level and low-level stations at
Leeds. The object of the second bill was to incorporate,
a company for making a railway from the Bishop Auck-
land branch of the North-Eastern Company, to be called
the Dearness Valley Railway. The object of the third
bill was to enable the North Yorkshin... Railway Com-
pany to make two branches—one of five miles and the
other of two miles in length. Both these branches will
join the main line of the North Eastern Company, and
one of them, specially important, because of its opening
out about 13,000 acres of ironstone, which were pro-
posed to be worked and brought into the market.
The CHAIRMAN moved resolutions approving these
bills, which were severally seconded.
The resolutions were put and carried, and the meeting
after a vote of thanks to the chairman, was adjourned
to Saturday, June 16.

THE CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

This theatre has great claims to public patronage ; the
pieces selected are always of a superior order, and placed
on the stage in a most perfect and correct manner.
The spirited 'engagement of Mr. Charles Mathews will
afford the eastern part of London a theatrical treat as great
'as unexpected. There is no actor on the British stage
so calculated to draw an audience as Mr. C. Mathews,
and most deservedly so, for his talent is of the first order.
Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee will doubtless meet
with the reward of their energy in catering for the mil-
lion. Monday next is the commencement of this levia-
than engagement. The opening pieces selected are "A.
Game of Speculation " and " Patter versus Clatter," in
both of which Mr. Charles Mathews cannot be ap-
proached. He will appear in his great part of Sir
Charles Coldstream, in " Used up," on Tuesday. This
distinguished comedian will be supported throughout
the engagement by Miss Eliza Arden, from the Lyceum
and Drury-lane Theatres, Miss Sarah Lewis, from the
Surrey Theatre, Mr. William Searle, and the principal
members of the City Company. Particular attention is
to be paid to the mire-en-scene, and everything done to
render to the various productions their original splendour.
Reserved seats will be introduced, but the general
prices are not to be raised, which will afford an oppor-
tunity of witnessing this favourite of royalty and great
artiste without a journey to the west. A number of
private boxes are already secured. We wish the specu-
lation success.

FURTHER SUCCESS OF THE

ALLIES.

ANOTHER VICTORY.
CAPTURE OF STRANYCHI
BY THE ALLIES.

(From the Third Edition of the Morning Post.)
SEBASTOPOL, JUNE 2.

We have taken the town of Stranychi, at the
entrance of the Putrid Sea, burnt a month's ra-
tions of the whole Russian army, and destroyed
the shipping.
There was no resistance offered by the enemy.
No loss to the Allies.

ADMIRALTY, JUNE 3, 1855.

The Secretary of the Admiralty presents hip
compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and begs
to acquaint him that intelligence has been re-
ceived at the Admiralty from Sir E. Lyons, at
Kertch, dated 31st May, that the squadron in the
Sea of Azoff has appeared before Genitchi, landed
a body of seamen and marines, and, after driving
the Russian force from the place, has destroyed
all the depots and vessels laden with corn and
supplies for the army. One man only was
wounded.
Since entering the Sea of Azoff, four steamers
of war, and 240 vessels employed in conveying
supplies to the Russian army in the Crimea, have
been destroyed.

VIENNA, JUNE 2.

A despatch from Prince Gortschakoft, dated the
29th, states that the Allies have occupied Kertcb,

but have not pushed inwards. He reports that

in consequence of the measures which he has
taken, the Allies will not be able to cut off the

communications of the Russian army.
The following are the terms in which the late
operations of the Allied forces in the Crimea have
been announced in the St. Petersburg journals:—
"At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th, the
Allied forces appeared in the Strait of Kertch.
Near Sebastopol considerable fortes of the Allied
army have occupied the heights of the left bank
of the Tchernaya, and are establishing a fortified
camp there."

The Post Gazette of Frankfort publishes a de- '
spatch from Odessa to the effect that the Russians
are raising batteries to command the channel near
Genitchi, which connects the Putrid Lake with
the Sea of Azoff. Another despatch says that
General Oushakoff had at length arrived at Pere-
kop with his division, four infantry regiments,
each 3,600 strong. General Grotenhilm had also
arrived at Perekop with his light cavalry division,
the third, consisting of four regiments, each 960
strong. These figures would give Prince Gorts-

cbakoff a reinforcement of 18,000 men—a num

ber which more exact information would probably

reduce.

BERLIN, SATURDAY,

The Austrian Government has published a new

would thenceforth be one of expectancy.

AN ORDER IN BASTARDY MADE UPON
A ROMAN CATLIOLIC CLERGYMAN.

The magistrates of Stockton were engaged some time
on Saturday in hearing the application of Miss Jane
Jones, for an order on the Rev. Richard Singleton, the
Roman Catholic priest of the district, to contribute to
the support of her illegitimate child.
Mr. Stevenson said he app-tired for the complainant,
who was a single woman. About a year and a half ago she
bad occasion to reside in the neighbourhood, in the
family of a person named Eyre, when she became ac-
quainted with the defendant. Being a stranger, and
not feeling comfortable in the family, she confided her
grievances to the defendant, who, in cbnsequence, asked
her to go and take up her residence at his house. De-
fendant was understood to be a single man. Whilst
Miss Jones resided at his hense, she dined at his table,
along with himself alone, and usually after dinner they
left the dining-room together, under circumstances, as
he (Mr. Stevenson) would prove, which discreet people
would perhaps not approve of. Mr. Singleton usually
left the dining-room with his arm about Miss Jones's
waist, and led her into an adjoining room, where they
had a dessert. At night they slept in rooms contiguous
to each other. As to what took place upstairs he could
not, by other witnesses, corroborate Miss Jones's
evidence, but he would confirm her statement of what
took place 'down stairs, which could lead to nothing
less than that connection in consequence of which the
child was born. The defendant accompanied Miss Jones
to Leeds. The facts he (Mr. Stevenson) was in a posi-
tion to prove were, that in the house of defendant crimi-
nal intercourse took place between him and the com-
plainant ; before leaving she told defendant that she was
enciente by him ; that she was delivered of a child of
which the defendant was the father; and that she was
without means to support it..
The complainant and other witnesses then gave evi-
dence.
No one appearing for the defence, the magistrates re-
tired for a few minutes, when the Mayor announced that
they were of opinion that Mr. Singleton was the father
of the child, and made an order on him for the payment
of 2s. 6d. per week,
with 10s. for the midwife, and the
usual costs.

Tha,sum for which Messrs. Jackson, Bean, and Gow,
of latdon, have contracted for the construction of
Jarrow Docks near Newcastle, is stated to be
358,0001. There were 14 tenders in all, two of which
were even below 'the above figures, but there was only
a difference of 7.0001 out of seven of the tender:. The
