from the first application, and that, at the end
of that time, the case might again be brought
forward, and would be favourably con-
sidered. on a satisfactory indemnity being
given. Was there ever such a farce as this. It was
true that the evidence was-entirely circumstantial;
but it was such as would be sufficient to warrant.
a capital conviction. The Directors, however,
choose to ignore it for five years, even with the
clearest guarantee against loss. We believe that
the amount could be recovered in a Court of law ;
and we earnestly hope that the responsibility of the
Directors for lost notes may be tested by a legal
decision. We have referred to this case, which
we have verified by indisputable testimony, to
show that there is no real foundation for the much
vaunted liberality of the Directors ; and that,
therefore, the amount of lost notes must be very
considerable. A return such as we have indi-
cated would however decide the question, which
must be one of considerable importance when the
question of the renewal of the charter comes to be
ventilated, as must speedily be the case.

culties that he had been unable to devise any
scheme which would be worthy the attention of Par-
liament. It would be easy enough to select and
appoint an efficient public prosecutor, but to make
his functions of any service to the public it would
be necessary to alter the whole constitution of our crimi-
nal courts. However, the subject during the recess would
engage his most serious attention, as well as that of the
Lord Chancellor and other law officers of the Crow, and
he hoped that by the beginning of the next sessinon he
should be prepared with a measure on the subject, which
would be really worthy the adoption of the Legislature.
The clause was then withdPawn, with the view of mak-
ing some alteration in the qualification of jurymen, so as
to blend the middle ant intelligent with the lower and
less educated classes in the formation of a jury.
Clause 15 and 16 were also withdrawn.
On clause 17, which proposes to render the unanimity of
a jury, in civil cases, unnecessary, making the decision of
10 out of 12 binding, and recilicing their period of being
locked up to 12 hours,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said this clause was
based upon the recommendation of the first Common Law
commission. The second commission reported in favour
If the continuance of the existing system, and he confessed
himself favourable to that report, but so many high legal
functionarieshaving expresso' their concurrence in the pro-
posed-change, he thought it best to adopt it rather than
wait for some better mode of correcting the anomalies of
the existing system.
Mr. I. BUTT insisted that so important a change in the
law ought to be made the subject of a separate bill, ill
order that the house might have an opportunity of pro-
iouncing a definitive opinion upon it as a question of prin.
siple. He should, therefore, move that the clause be struck
out.
Mr. MASSEY thought it absurd to expect unanimity
from any Is! men.
Mr. PHINN objected to the change, and if the com-
mittee went to a division upon the clause he should vote
against it.
Mr. NAPIER would not consent to purchase the bill at
such a fearful price as the sacrifice-of unanimity.
Mr. COLLIER remarked that at present unanimity was
produced in a great many cases by coercion, and it was by
no means unreasonable to try the experiment proposed by
this clause.
Mr. KEATING insisted that, if they applied this prin-
ciple to civil cases, it must ultimately be extended to cri-
minal courts also. ,
After some observations from Mr. G. Batt, Mr. Deni-
son, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Craufurd, Mr. W. D. Seymour, Mr.
Dunlop, Mr. Atherton, Mr. Henley, Sir C. Burrell, and
Mr. Brotherton, the committee divided, when there ap-
peared,
For the clause
Against it 75

The clause was accordingly agreed to.
The other clauses, up to clause 37, were agreed to, and
it being 4 o'clock, the Chairman reported progress, and the
sitting was suspended till six o'clock.

FRANCE.

The rumours which have been current for some
weeks past with respect to the retirem.nt of M.
Drouyn de Lhuys from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs have been renewed. The Count de Moruy
having declined the presidency of the Legislative
Corps, it is said that the Emperor has offered the
place to M. Drouyn de Lliuys. It is moreover re-
ported that M. de Thouvenel, whose appointment
as ambassador at Constantinople against the wishes
of M. Drouyn de Lhuys was one of the causes of
the retirement of the latter, is likely to be ap-
pointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. de Thou-
venel is the real author of the celebrated despatches
on the Eastern question, published and signed by
M. Drouyn do Lhuys. He has recently gained a
high place in the confidence of the Emperor.
A distressing accident happened on Monday in
the Bois de Boulogne, to Prince Charles Lucien
Bonaparte, while riding on horseback, in company
with his brother, Prince Pierre Napoleon, and
some other gentlemen. A horse ridden by one of
his friends suddenly lashed out, and striking the
prince with violence, fractured his left leg. He was
conveyed back to his residence in the Rue de Lisle,
where his medical attendant, Dr. Fasquier, re-
duced the fracture, and there is every reason to
hepe that no serious consequence will ensue.
The Marquis d'Aoust, uncle of Marshal St. Ar-
naud, died on Sunday at his Chateau of Cuincy,
near Douai, at a very advanced age.
Very little business was done yesterday in the

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 24th inst.
The second battalion of the regiment of Valencia
l
had left in the morning for the Escurial, where il
it was to remain during the stay of the Court in
that Royal residence. The first battalion of the
same regiment was to march in a few days for
Segovia. The Halberdiers and the Reina Gober-
nadora Regiment had been ordered to La Granja.
The 24th being the nativity of St. John the Bap-
tist, the Bourse remained closed.

ALBANIA.

PREVESA, June 10.—The Derbend Aga, at Arta,
has been arrested, and a commissary has gone to
arrest some Albanian chieftains at Paramythia,
who had ill-treated the Christians.

CONCENTRATION OF RUSSIAN FORCES-
EXPEDITION AGAINST THE CRIMEA

APPREHENDED;

The Transylvanian Messenger states from Cron-
stadt, near Moldavia, that the Russian officers
commanding the detachments stationed along the
frontiers of that province have received orders to
transmit to head-quarters all the information they
can glean respecting the movements of the Aus-
trian troops. The posts of C6ssacks have been
withdrawn from the frontier, and concentrated at
Roman. Various rumours are in circulation a'
Jassy as to the motive of the concentration of Rus-
sian troops in Moldavia. Many persons look upon
it as a preliminary step to the evacuation of the
principalities ; the Russians, it is said, are to retir,
into Bessarabia, in order to march upon the Crimea
which is considered likely to become the theatre of
offensive operations on the part of the Anglo-
French forces.

The Lloyd of Vienna, under date of Vienna,
14th, says :—" The Russians have rendered tht
Strait of Kercht, close to Odessa, inaccessible to
ships of war, by sinking 32 large barges laden with
stones. There will be exchange of Russian anti
English prisoners, as notice has been received from
St. Petersburg that the Government consents to it."
A letter from Schumla states that the auxiliary
troops, in concert with the fleet, and under tht
personal command of Marshal Saint Arnaud, art
certainly to undertake an expedition against tht
Crimea. 200 transports are being prepared in con-
sequence at Varna and at Baltschuk.

TURKISH LOAN.
The Moniteur says—" Mr. Black and M. Durand
are empowered to negotiate in France and England
on account of the Sublime Porte a loan that will
have to be ratified by the representatives of the
Sultan at Paris and London."

EXCHANGE OF TEE PRISONERS OP ODESSA

The following extract of a report of the Austrian
Consul-General at Odessa, dated Bth (16) June, 1854,
has been received at the Admiralty to-day :
" A few days ago, the English steamer Vesuvius ran
into these roads,.and brought the wife of Captain Gif-
aril, to whom General Osten-Sacken gave the permis-
Non, with a quarantine guardian, to visit the grave of
her husband, who commanded the ill-fated steamer
Tiger.
" H.M. the Emperor of Russia, not being aware of
the death of that officer, had meantime ordered his.
sword to be restored, that he should be
,set free, and,
with reference to the share he had taken in the battle of
Navarino, to express his Majesty's regret at his being so
severely wounded. At the same time his Majesty granted
the exchange of eight English officers and 154 sailors for
Russian prisoners of war, who had been taken by the
united fleets on the Circassian coasts.
"As the officers of the stranded steamer Tiger con-
sisted of 25 individuals, the selection of those who are to
be set free will be made by lot.
"The midshipmen were all carried some days ago into
the interior,"

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1854.

The intelligence is confirmed that the Russian
army is in full retreat through the Principalities.
Defeated* successively at Oltenitza, at Citate, and
before Silistria ; with General SCHILDERS
and General LIIDERS killed, and Prince PASKE-
WITCH seriously wounded ; with 50,000 men
destroyed on their side alone since the commence-
ment of the campaign of 1854—the invading
forces are at length retiring with all despatch from
the scene of their disgrace ,and discomfiture.
Having recrossed the D.inube to the left bank,
they have already evacuated the chief part of
Wallachia, and are rapidly concentrating their
:lumbers within the boundaries of Moldavia, pre-
paratory, it may be, to an immediate passage once
more across the Pruth, and a return within the
frontiers of Bessarabia. Whatever may be the next
movement on the part of the enemy, there can be
little doubt as to the necessity of despatch on the
'side of the Allies, their antagonists. Hitherto, the
scheme upon which our plan of warlike operations
_would appear to have been founded, has been that
of systematic procrastination. We have delayed
until the Russians have been so soundly thrashed
,by the Turkish army, aided only by the Egyptian
contingent, that the beaten Muscovites have been
:compelled to withdraw from the provinces into
xluch theyhad (it would seem, even for their own
iriteresta) most mistakenly adventured. We have
delayeatuatil, when our troops have at length landed
at Varna, and marched inland in the direction of
OMER Pacua.'s head-quarters—the game is "up,"
has been "played out," before French or English
can effect a combination of their forces with those
d
unertaken to
they had aid in the name of jus-
tice, in the cause of humanity, and in the inte-
rests of civilisation.
The peculiarity of the position must not be
overlooked, because the crisis at which things
have now arrived is of the most imminent and
momentous character.
The Eaglish contingent, d un-er Lord Itaarati,
the French contingent, under Marshal ST. An:
sratm— Turkish-are still on their way to join the
army under OMER PACHAI• when news is received
that the Russians are leaving Wallachia and
ling back upon Moldavia, and prepating, according
to all appearances, to retire beyond the Pruth,
into Bessarabia.' Moreover, simultaneously with
this intelligence of the evacuation of the Danubian
provinces, or at 'any rate of one of the Danubian
provinces, by the forces of the CZAR, comes the
intelligence that the forces of the KAISER are
preparing at once to occupy those same Principa-
. lities Why ?it may be asked. But assuredly
-. the reason must be sufficiently obvious. It must
- be obvious that the Austrian forces
are entering
-
• = Wallachia and Moldavia from the direction of
arg Wrapsyyania simply for the purpose of interposing
3clmi their merely nominal allies, the victorious ,

PERSIA. '

The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" The armament of
the Persians; continues ; 10,000 regular and 20,000
irregular troops are to be assembled ou the Aran
which forms the boundary between Persia and
Russia. The attitude assumed by Persia towards
Russia becomes every day more and more threaten-
ing. Letters from Teheran state that Persia de-
mands the restitution of the provinces of Nakitchavan
and Erivan which were ceded to Russia by old
treaties."

GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the 27th ultimo says
" M. Mavrocordato is to take the oath this day as

portfolio with his brother-in-law, M. Pericles Ar-
gyropoulo, who takes the Finance department. M.
Mavrocordato still remains President of the Coun-
cil. No doubt is entertained that his administra-
tion will respond to the confidence which his name
inspires, and most happy results are expected for
the country."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Mr. Ker, of Bromp-
ton-terrace, Kensington, applied to Mr. Bingham for a
peace .warrant against; a Mr. O'Connell, one of the
nephews of the late Mr. Daniel O'Connell, whose Chris-
tian names he did not know, as that gentleman had sent
a letter to' Captain Devilla, challenging him to fight a
duel.

Mr. Bingham said if the applicant really apprehended
that the parties intended to commit a breach of the peace
he would grant a peace warrant.
Mr. Ker said.he did, and a warrant was granted and put
into the hands of Edmunds, one of the summoning- offi-
cers, who went to Holles-street to execute it, but could not
meet with the party referred to, as he was informed the
Mr. O'Connell he wanted did not live there, but only
had his letters left there.
Morton Andrew Edwards, of No. 92, Dean-street,
Soho, sculptor, and -Milian?, Plowright, of No. 25, John-
street, Bedford-row, gentleman, appeared before Mr.
Bingham, on summons, to answer charges which were
set forth at the following unusual length in the spm-
mons :—That the defendants did conspire together with
pretences, to procure the execution by .one
other persons by corrupt means and undue influence,
NaVnidllibaym Scoular,

AUSTRIA_

The following is from Vienna, dated yesterday
(Wednesday) evening :
" The troops on their way to Gallicia, the Buko-
vina, and Transylvania, have received orders to
halt for the present.
" Prince Gortschakoff to-day announced the
immediate evacuation of Moldavia as well as Wal-
lachia."

The Trieste Gazette, in a letter from Constanti-
nople of the 27th, states that according to a new
convention concluded between Austria and the
Porte, the Austrian troops may enter the Turkish
provinces by Ragusa, the road by Cattaro not being,
sufficient to oppose the movements of the Monte-
negrins and prevent their creating new complica-
tions.

The Hambicrg News contains a letter from Vienna,
dated the 4th, which says :—" The garrison of
Vienna is about to set out for Gallicia, and will be
replaced by troops from Italy. Preparations are
at present being made at the offices of the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army for a new levy of
65,000 men, which will be ordered probably next
month."

The Carlsruhe Gazette states that Colonel Kowa.

lowski, whose departure from the Russian embassy
at Vienna for St. Petersburg had been fixed for the
2d, had his destination suddenly changed, having
been sent off on the Ist direct to Bucharest with
despatches for Prince Gortschakoff.
A letter from Vienna, sth, states that accord-

ing to reports at the Bourse the subscription for the
national loan has reached the amount of 500 mil-
lions, but the official accounts only give the amount
already known at 300 millions of florins.
A Stettin journal has received an official warn-
ing for having said that the Austrian Government

haTi given orders to retard the last military mea-
sures decided on. This warning is regarded as a
proof that the Austrian Government is unwilling
to have it supposed that any cessation has taken
place in its warlike preparations against Russia.

SPAIN.

A new Madrid. journal called the Iberia announces
that Queen Christina and her family are to go to
live in Switzerland, and that Gen. Carrigo is to ac-

potentiary in Paris, and M. Sartor Diaz at Turin.
Lord Howden, English ambassador, had returned
to Madrid. General Jose do la Concha" was to leave

Valencia, has, says the Epoca, nominated the
Infante Don Henry de Bourbon to the rank of
Chief of a naval squadron. Count de la Roncera,
who had been exiled to Corunna by the Sartorius
Ministry, has been nominated Director of the Ad-
ministration of War, a post he had previously occu-
pied. General Ros do Olano, Director-General of
Infantry, had passed in review, at Aranjuez, the
division of General Blaser—that which was sent in
pursuit of him and of O'Donnell. Part of the di-
vision was to be sent toMadrid. The troops which
formed General O'Donnell's division were also to
be marched into the capital. Don Alfonso Eica-
lante has been nominated Civil Governor of Madrid.
The Bank of San Fernando has advanced to the
Treasury 15,000,000 revels, and the Minister of
Finance had been promised all possible facilities by
capitalists for the negotiation of Treasury bills.
