WESTMINSTER TERMINUS RAILWAY.

After some discussion, the committee deolared the
preamble of this bill proved.

WEST LONDON RAILWAY.
Considerable opposition was offered to this bill, but
the committee declared the preamble proved.
Some clauses were then passed, and their lordships
adjourned until Monday next.

A GENEROUS VOLUNTEER.—The son of a farmer,
named Dagomet, of Fontaine-sous-Jony (Eure), in the
drawing for the conscription, drew a number which re-
quired him to serve in the army. This threw all his
family into profound affliction, as they had not the
means of paying for a substitute. So great was the
sorrow of the young man himself, and of his mother in
particular, that they fell ill. About a fortnight ago was
fixed for the departure of the young man, even though
he had not recovered his strength. Just before he set
out, a young man named Darcy went to the house, and
offered himself as a substitute. " What sum do you
ask ?" was the question of the father. "Let there be no
talk of money," said the young man. "It is a service I
want to render you ; and at the same time I serve my
country." "But how can we ever recompense so much
devotedness and abnegation ?" " I am alone in the
world," replied the generous fellow, "and you shall be
my family !" He then went to the military authorities,
offered himself as a substitute for Dagomet, was accepted,
and was sent to Blois to join the 27th regiment.
CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—Five deaths from cholera
occurred in Liverpool in the week ending Saturday
last.

AUSTRIA.

(From, the Morning Chronicle Correspondent.)
VIENNA, July 11.—" Procrastination is the
thief of the time." In the present state of
things Russia has all the benefit of the most
opportune application of this adage. Had Prince
Gortschakoff been delayed at St. Petersburg,
or on the road hither, with the Czar's answer to
the Court of Vienna, only 8 days longer, the Aus-
trian troops would have been in the occupation ofat
least a part of Wallachia, and such a fait accompli
would have silenced a multitude of after-consider-
ations and after-thoughts. But as it is, the Aus-
trian Cabinet is once more hampered and clogged
in its forward movements ; the more so as Prussia—
that is, the highest authority in Prussia—is as re-
calcitrant again at this moment as its worst enemies
could wish it. I dare say the same high authority
will come round again after a while, and the miser-
able game of " hide and seek," and the " Jim
Crow dance," will terminate at last, and finally
give way to graver considerations and more sober
reasons. In the meanwhile, however, the latest
Russian propositions are being bandied to and fro,
and Count Alvensleben (instead of the individual of
high rank whom it was at first intended to have
sent here on a mission extraordinary) had the un-
satisfactory task committed to his care of handing
an autograph letter from his Sovereign to the Em-
peror Francis Joseph, in which the immense desira-
bility of establishing general peace negotiations
among the Powers upon the latest concessions of
the Czar, and the danger and absolute inconveni-
ence—nay more, the positive inadmissibility—of
ordering the Austrian army in Transylvania, uncler
present circumstances, to advance into the princi-
palities, are most pathetically and eloquently urged,
and which Count Alvensleben is charged to support
to the best of his abilities. Of course, the conse-
quence is that negotiations on these points are now
being carried on again between the two German
Courts, by which the precious time for present
action is being wasted ; and thus the immediate
will and object of the Emperor Nicholas is fully
attained, to wit, the crowings and cooings of the
Russian partisans here, who would fain raise
Saphir's thread-bare witticism, "It comes to no-
thing," to the dignity of an apodictical truth.

STAMP ACTS.

The report of the committee altering the rate of the pre.
sent duties was brought up.
Mr. HADFIELD moved that the proposed rate be re-
duced iu one instance by one-sixth.
Mr. WILSON hoped the hon. member would not call
for a division at this mere formal stage of the proceed-
ings, seeing that opportunities would be afforded for pro-
posing the amendment on the bill.
Mr. HADFIELD intimated that he would divide, but
the opinion of the house being obviously against him,
the house had been cleared for a division he connoted to
the amendment being negatived.
The new schedule of duties was then put and agreed to.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, July 11, —The want of animation in
our market last week has increased to a general dul-
ness in the present week. Both the foreign and
home buyers of yarns and goods have held more markedly
aloof from business, which has consequently been incon-
siderable. As regards prices, it is found that those pro-
ducers who were previously asking rather more than
what could be obtained are willing to concede the dif-
ference : but that any further giving way than this is
partial ; yet ail are freer sellers than before, and this of
course gives the buyer a slight practical advantage, which,
in the medium and lower counts of yarns, may be
stated at id. per lb., while in goods it is hardly quotable.
The absence of any material stocks of goods and yarns
(except in the fine counts of the latter), and the degree
in which producers at large are under contract, is
sufficient to prevent anything like an anxiety to sell.
The Liverpool market is still dull, and buyers have a
better choice ; but it is only inferior cotton of any de-
nomination that is quoted lower.
BRADFORD, July 13.—This has been a week of com-
parative inactivity in amount of wool sales. Yarns.—
There is nothing in the slightest degree improved in
this branch of the trade. The prices sought
for wool render the avocation one attended with
great loss to those who pursue it; for yarns are
only commanding a price that barely covers the cost
of tops, leaving the entire expenses of spinning minus.
Pieces—This has been a week of sad disaster, there hav-
ing been not less than six failures ; the principal of
which arises from the continued wearing away by fall
of stock, and the ruinous prices at which goods are
markets el i ng, g

THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
August 4, 1854.—The magnificent screw steamship " CAL-
CUTTA," 1,800 tons, Captain J. GooDaLL, another of the fine fleet
belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, will be
despatched with her Majesty'4 Mails for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and
Sydney, on the 4th August next. This line vessel has maintained
her high reputation for rapid sailing and punctuality, and is a sister
ship to the " Argo," which has made the quickest v,,yage to and from
Australia up to this time. The Calcutta has been employed carrying
the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from her superior
sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will
make the run in 60 days. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas.
She will be followed, on the 4th of October, by the Cacesus, of 2,500
tons. Full particulars as to Freight and Passage Money at the Com-
pany's Offices, 4 Cannon-street, City.

MORTMAIN BILL.

Bill.

Mr. HEADLAM said if the Government would not give
him an opportunity of submitting the further considera-
tion to a full house, he certainly should not procebd with
it this session.
Lord J. RUSSELL could not promise a day at prespnt,
but he would endeavour to fix one if possible next week."

DRESS OF THE ARMY.
Sir G. HEATHOOTE asked the Secretary-at+War,
whether measures have been taken to carry out the anaelio:
rations announced to the house in the clothing and dress
of the army, both at home and abroad; and also in the
equipments of the soldier, with the view to render theta
less burthensome, and more adapted to actual service :
And, whether hospital waggons for the conveyance of the
sick and wounded have been despatched to the seat of war?
Mr. S. HERBERT replied to the last question, first,
Such waggons had been sent out, and must have reached
the army ere this. With' regard to the first question,' the
change would not take place until next year, but in ,the
course of the autumn additional woollen clothing would
be sent out lot the Ifie of the troops in the East. 'He
might, perhaps; be allowed io take the opportunity of ctn.-
recting an erroneous impression that prevailed in the public
mind as to the weight of the soldier's kit. It was not
so heavy as that ; .of the French kit, owing to the amouilt
of ammunition which the French soldier had to carry. •t.
, PROUOTI9N IN THE ARMY.
Colon©t NORTH asked the Secretary at War why the
report of the Commissioners upon Military Promotions,
laid upon the table of the house on the 7th inst., and puh,
lished in all the newspapers, had not yet been delivered to
members of the house?

, Mr. S. HERBERT said the report was published first
the newspapers, for the convenience of members as well as
the public, for; from the prasure of business at the public
printer's of the house, the report, although it was prepared
some days ago, would• not begot ready for delivery until
to-day.

THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
August 4, 1854.—The magnificent screw steamship "CAL-
CUTTA," 1,800 tons, Captain J. GooDALL, another of the fine fleet
belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, will be
despatched with her Majesty's Mails for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and
Sydney, on .the 4th August next. This flee vessel has maintained
her high reputation for rapid sailing and punctuality, and is a sister
ship to the " Argo," which has made the quickest voyage to and from
Australia up to this time. The Calcutta has been employed carrying
the Mails to and from England and Calcutta, and from her superior
sailing and steaming qualities, it may be fairly assumed that she will
make the run in 60 clays. Rates of Passage from 30 to 100 guineas.
She will he followed, on the 4th of October, by the Camacs, of 2,500
tans. Full particulars as to Freight and Passage Money at the Com-
pany's Offices, a Cannon-street, City.

ALGERIA.

The French Government has received a long re-
port from the Governor-General of Algeria, giving
an account of an attack made upon the Beni-
Hidgers, a powerful tribe, having 1,200 muskets,
and who had with them in this affair some other
tribes. The French troops met with a desperate
resistance, and were, fram the nature of the ground
occupied by the enemy, obliged to act with great
caution; but they are stated to have been success-
ful, and to have killed 80 of the enemy. The loss
on the French side in killed was 5 soldiers, and 53
were wounded, among whom were three officers.
In a subsequent affair the Kabyles were defeated,
but the French had a captain and three men killed
and 40 wounded. After these two actions several
of the tribes offered their submission.

THE HOOD MONUMAW T.

The afternoon of Tuesday next, at three o'clock,
it should be remembered, has been fixed for the
public inauguration of the Hood Monument in
Kensal-green Cemetery. Whoever may attend
upon the occasion will enjoy the opportunity of
seeing uncovered for the first time, over the grave
of the beloved poet, the exquisitely beautiful testi-
monial, designed by the hand of Matthew Noble,
and of listening to the panegyric pronounced over
the dust and memory of Thomas Hood by Monck-
ton Manes, the accomplished member for Pon-
tefract.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

Letters from Constantinople say doubts were
expressed about Austria, who, it was said, had
made propositions to Turkey to treatseflepant trately
with her. Count Esterhazy had been
Petersburg with secret instructions. Her
as described in the letter referred to, was to induce
the Turks to retire, and that the
Powers should
spectators. a ttoor s
be
discontented
. The allied
at st and
t
armiesremain simply a
werealsso m
being sooner brought into collision with the enemy.
Letters of the sth, brought by the Euphrates, do
not make mention of any very important facts.
They state, however, that the Turkish army, with
the allies, appeared decided to pass the Danube
and pursue the Russians until they should have
completely evacuated the Ottoman territory.
The movements of the allied forces continued
to be very active. The auxiliary corps assem-
bled at Varna began their march on the 4th for
Shumla, where their definitive destination was
to be resolved. It was believed that they were
to be at once sent towards the Danube, to
Rustchuk or to Silistria. Omer Pacha was in
this last place, and was about to distribute in per-
son the recompense due to the gallant defenders of
that fortress. He had also ordered the works to
be repaired as soon as possible. The Duke of
Cambridge had returned on the 2d to Constan-
tinople. It was thought the active intervention
of Austria would not take place so soon as was
at first supposed. Nothing was known at Con-
stantinople of the movements of the fleets in
the Black Sea. Nevertheless, an attack on Sebas-
topol was considered as imminent, though nothing
certain was known of the plan of operations either
of the fleets or the army, as the Commanders-in-Chief
maintained the greatest secrecy. The Turkish fleet
returned on the 3d to Buyukdere, for the purpose
of taking provisions on board, preparatory to again
putting to sea and joining the allied squadrons.
Redschid had resumed, on the 30th ult., his func-
tions as Minister of Foreign Affairs. " The Greek
population," says one of the letters in question,
“ohpulio
asarteconv,
2e'red from its alleged sympathies for the
orthodox Emperor. The Czar now appears, even
to his former partisans, as completely powerless,
and none have the least desire for the protectorate
of that Power whom the Turkish army has kept in
check, or beaten, and whom they see flying off the
moment that the flags of France and England
appear in the distance."

THE CARNAGE AT SILISTRIA.

The letters from Constantinople, purporting to
give an account of what passes on the Danube, are
necessarily in arrear of those we have from other
quarters. Nevertheless, they generally contain
some additional information which is not without
interest.' A private letter, of the sth inst., from
that city, mentions some facts relative to Silistria.
It appears that tho last assault of that fortress was
attended with frightful carnage. The officer in
command, Ghiritli Mehemet Pasha, had written to
the Seraskier that it was impossible to occupy the
fort of Arab Tabia, as the parapets and out-
works were completely dismantled, and he had,
therefore, resolved to abandon it. The Turks
resolved to bid their last farewell to that strong-
hold in a mannerthat should not soon be forgotten.
Nothing could exceed the fury with which they,
though inferior in numbers, attacked the Rus-
sian batteries. They rushed like maniacs oil the
enemy, armed with hatchets, and literally hewed
down the gunners at their pieces, and spiked the
guns. The Russians were dismayed at the fierceness
of the attack, and scarcely made a show of resist-
ance. They fled in all directions, and the Turks
returned triumphant to the town, bidding adieu to
Arab Tabia, which they reckoned on never seeing
More. On the following morning they were AUX,

prised at the complete disappearance of the Rus-
sians who had raised the siege. The joy at Con-
stantinople when the news reached there was, as
may be supposed, very great. The same letter
announces that the evacuation of the Dobrudscha
had commenced. The raising of the siege of Silis-
tria was principally attributed to the arrival of the
allied troops, and the new attitude of Austria.
