bers voting " in ignorance, not only of the merits
of the case, but of the very name and purport of
the bill which they were helping to carry or
throw out," and that "it follows that there is
no real security either for a good bill being al-
lowed to go to committee, or for a bad one being
stopped !"

This grievance, for it is a grievance, and of no
ordinary magnitude, requires immediate attention.
Lord STANLEY, who has so ably called attention
to the nuisance, does not attempt to point out
the precise remedy. He has, however, offered
suggestions calculated to mitigate the evil. We
therefore trust that he will finish the good work
he has commenced, and inflict a fatal blow on the
abominable system of jobbery which he has so
clearly and unsparingly exposed.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.
REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE TURKS AT
KALAFAT.—ANTICIPATED MARCH OF
THE RUSSIANS FOR CONSTANTINOPLE.
The Morning Herald, in a second edition to-day,
makes the following iinpdrtant statement :
We are enabled to state that a special messenger,
who travelled with the utmost expedition direct
from the seat of war, arrived last evening at the
Foreign-office with despatches of the very last im-
portance. These were immediately forwarded to
her Majesty at Buckingham Palace. The Queen
was just leaving for the theatre, but, in conse-
quence, detained the Royal carriages for upwards
of three-quarters of an hour. From what we can
gather, we fear that a dreadful reverse has over-
taken the Turkish arms, being no less than the
capture by the Russian army of Kalafat, the key
and the chief position of the Sultan's forces on the
Danube, and we understand that almost a total
massacre of its defenders took place, and unless
checked by the extraordinary interposition of Pro-
vidence, the hordes of the Autocrat may be at this
moment on the high road to, if not in actual pos-
session of, Constantinople. There is and can now
be no mistake. This news has even brought
Lord Aberdeen to his senses, and henceforth he
must admit that nothing but war to the knife
against the Czar can atone for the atrocities he has
committed.

[We shall use our utmost endeavour to obtain
either a contradiction or a confirmation of the above
appalling intelligence, and trust, for the sake of
humanity, as well as for the honour of France and
England, that it has at least been exaggerated.—

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—MARCH 7.
A good attendance of the town and neighbouring trade,
and rather more buyers from a distance than for some time
past. In wheat little business transacted, at a decline Of
2d to 3d per TOlbs. on the week. Large purchases of flour
were made at is per barrel below the current prices of:
Tuesday. Oats and oatmeal in demand at id per 451bs.
and 6d per load under the currency of this day week•
Barley, beans, and peas ld to 2d per 601bs. and is per qr•
lower. In Indian corn the sales were limited.

IPSWICH—MARCH 7.
Although rather an increased supply of wheat as conr
pared with last week was offered for sale, prices ruled the
same, and a firmness in the trade was evinced. Barley
was much shown about. As the maltsters are leaving off
steeping, fluffing there is no sale for malt, the only buyers
of barley were those who had a commission for London
maltsters. Beans and peas much improved in condition,
and late prices maintained.

Majority
The bill was accordingly thrown out.
PROPERTY QUALIFICATION BILL,

121

The order of the day for the second reading of this
bill was postponed until the sth of April.
ABSCONDING DEBTORS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion fdr the second reading of this bill,
Mr. BRADY moved that the bill be read a second
time this day six months.

Mr. LUCAS urged that there was no necessity for the
bill, the law was sufficiently stringent as it already ex-
isted, and in"proof of this, he mentioned that a junior
Lord of the Treasury 'had been enabled to arrest a
debtor to prevent his voting at an Irish election.
Mr. NAPIER said the only object of the bill was to
assimulate the law of arrest in Ireland with that of Eng-
land.

Mr. FITZGERALD thought there was no objection
to the principle of the bill, though there was room for
improvement in its details.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS objected to give any inferior
tribunal the power of arresting absconding debtors.
Such a power ought only to res 4 upon one of judges
of the superior court in Ireland, as was the case in
England.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said this bill was an
exact transcript of the English act, but if possible the
power was more restricted, as it was only conferred
upon the Superior Courts, or the mayors of corporate
towns. It would be matter for the consideration of the
committee on the bill whether it was proper to vest such
a power in the mayors of corporate towns.
After some further discussion the bill was read a
second time and ordered*to be committed.

HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL.
This bill was passed through committee.
WAYS AND MEANS.
The report of the Committee on Ways and Means
(Exchequer-bills and Income-tax) was brought up, and
agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER took the
opportunity of stating that the amount to be paid on
Exchequer-bills this year wasat least 35,0001. or 36,000/.
less than was piid last year.

COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
MUTINY BILL.
• •--

This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed to-morrow.

The other orders were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned at a quarter to six o'clock.

ST. PETERSBURG.—The letters from St. Petersburg are
to the 27th ult., and confirm the report of the prohibition
of the export of grain. It seems, however, that vessels at
Odessa loaded or loading will be allowed to leave with
their cargoes. The other political news indicates extensive
preparations for war, and great reports are still circu-
lated of patriotic contributions from individuals.
BILL STAMPS.—The alteration proposed by the Chan-
cellor of the Fxcbequer with regard to bill-stamps—
namely, the substitution of an ad valorem scale at the
rate of 3d. for 251. in place of the present rates, prohi-
bitory on small bills and light on large ones, has long
been desired by the great mass of traders. They
have looked for it, however, with little hope, owing
to the small probability of its being recommended or
countenanced by the great houses likely to be con-
sulted on the matter, to whom the existing system
gave a sort of monopoly of the money-market.
Under these circumstances, therefore, the introduction
of the measure is regarded with great satisfaction, as I el
act in which the interests of the public at large have
alone been consulted. At the same time, the advantai
to the commercial world generally, from the simplicity
of the new scale, and the introduction of adhesive :in
place of die stamps, will be exceedingly great, not Deily
by removing all inconvenience lin procuring them, but
also by preventing the mistakes constantly occurs 'jog
irons the use of stamps of wrong amount.
THE NEW BUILDINGS IN BROAD-STREET.—The bu ild-
ings now going up with great rapidity on the site of the
Excise-office are for chambers. These are being erected
under the superintendence of Mr. The and Mr. E. N.
Clifton, by Messrs. Piper. They will all be fire-proof. A
small steam-engine has been set to work to mix ti he
mortar and to grind the mortar and rubbish of the c old
brickwork to make the new mortar. The site is abr Jut
one acre and a quarter, and was bought by ten gentle-
men, who are erecting the buildings in question , for
108,200/. The buildings themselves will test, pe4 •haps,
another 100,0001.—Ths Buitcicr.

the slightest injury, although pieces of the gun carriage,
which was torn• into a great number of fragments, and
the bolts, screws, and nuts which held it together, with
the displaced bricks, were thrown with great force in all
directions. Two gunners doing duty at the other guns
were hurt, but able to walk to their barracks—the one
having sustained a cut in the forehead, and a severe
blow on the cap of the knee, which made it bleed. All
the injury done was on the right side of the burst gun.
The other half of the breech was broken into two parts,
which were projected to a considerable height, at an
angle of about 45 degrees, and passing over one of the
sentries in a field, alighted more than 100 yards distant,
in a field of mangold wurtzel. The other part was
thrown about 50 yards further up the same field, which
had a considerable slope downwards. The largest piece
is apparently about 12. or 13 cwt., and the other piece
about sor 6 cwt. About sor 6 feet of the muzzle of the
gun fell in front of the battery, the mouth of the gun
being turned almost full round from the direction in
which it was placed when fired. Lieut. Colonel Wilson
directed the firing, and the practice at the long range
with Lancaster's 68-pounder gun was good, the last shot
fired falling within a few feet of the base of the flag-staff,
after passing close to it on the right. There did not
appear to be any defect in the metal of the gun ' • but it
would be difficult to be positive on that point, from an
examination of the blackened pieces. The practice was
suspended after the accident, and the bodies conveyed
to the hospital.

THE BLACK SEA.

The news from the fleet is still melancholy. The
average loss-in the ships of the line is 120 men.
We aro much more fortunate. The Britannia,
which has suffered most, has not lost more than
120 men. Among the dead is Captain Smith, of
the -Simoom, the only officer who has fallen a vic-
tim to the disease. He dined with the Admiral
on board the Britannia, was seized shortly after
leaving, and, in four hours was a corpse. -The post
is in the gift of the Admiral, and will, no doubt, be
speedily filled up. Preparations still continue for
the enterprise which is determined on against
Sebastopol. Pontooning practice goes on daily at
Varna, and there Seems no intention on the part
of the Generals to abandon, although they may de-
lay, the design. On the 20th there were 40 ships of
war at Varna, and others were expected. The
troops which were to be employed on the secret
service were-28,000 French, 23,000 English, and
9,000 Turks. Admiral Stopford is gone to the
English fleet in the Black Sea.

THE NEW BEER ACT.

Yesterday a deputation from the Metropolitan and
Suburban Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, and
a deputation from the Licensed Victuallers' Defence
Association, consisting of equal ❑umbers of each, met at
Mr. Simpson's, Cremorne Gardens, for the purpose of
amalgamating the two societies, in order to procure the
repeal of the Beer Act, and to adopt such other measures
as they might deem necessary to resist further encroach-
ment on the rights of the trade and the privileges of
the public.

Tile two societies were represented by the following
7ehtlemen :—M r. Simpson, Cremorne- gardens ; Mr. Luce,
King's Arms, Hampton Court ; Mr. Conquest Eagle
Tavern, City-road; Mr. Forster, St. John's-gate, Clerken-
well ; Mr. Forster, Royal Tavern, Blackwall Terminus,
Fenchurch-street ; Mr. Harris, Equestrian Tavern,
Blackfriars-road ; Mr. Symes, Cogers' Hall, Bride-lane,
Mr. Wallace, Gloucester Tavern. Sloane-street ; Mr.
Hannah, Queen's Head, Amelia-street, Walworth ; and
Mr. Adams, Star and Garter, Kew-bridge.
Those gentlemen having deliberated for upwards of
two hours, adopted the following resolutions :
"1. That this present committee, consisting of an
equal number of members of the Metropolitan and Su-
burban Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, and of
the Metropolitan and Suburban Licensed Victuallers'
Defence Association, do now amalgamate, under the

name and title of the Licensed Victuallers' Metropoli-
tan and Provincial Mutual Defence Association."
"2. That the Committee of the Joint Associations
are desirous of expressing to those portions of the pub-
lic press who have advocated the true interests of the
Licensed Victuallers, their warmest thanks for the effi-
cient services they have rendered them, and fur the liberal
space allotted to their cause."
A vote of thanks to Mr. Simpson for his conduct in
the chair was also carried by acclamation.

In a conversation which occurred after the meeting,
it was determined that forms of petitions against the
new Beer Act should be left for signature at each public-
house.

There is nothing in the original columns of the
Paris journals of sufficient interest for ex-
tract. The Constitutionnel has an article on the
taking of Bomarsund, in which the skill and bravery
displayed by the allied forces and the advantages
obtained are set forth, but there is nothing in this
that had not been already said.
The Sentinelle of Toulon of the 2d says :—" Orders

GREECE.

The Greek Government has as yet made no
answer to the Turkish demands. The delay of two
months during which the Porte would receive an
answer to its proposals expires on the Ist Septem-
ber. The Greek v(ssels are still excluded from the
Turkish seas, and their places to some extent sup-
plied by the flags of other nations.

MARKET NEWS-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
To-day's market was scantily supplied with all kinds of
English wheat, both new and old ; nevertheless, the demand
was in a most inactive state, at Monday's decline in the
quotations.
The show of foreign wheat was large, and to have effected
sales, even laver rates must have been submitted to. The
fow floating cargoes on offer were quite 2s to 3s per qr.
beneath last week's currency.

We had a dull inquiry 'for barley and malt, at barely
[ate rates.

There was a good supply of oats in the market. The
trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Beans and peas were almost nominal. In flour next to
nothing was doing.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, Aug. 30.—Omer Pasha has had a
discussion with the Wallachian Administration as
to whether the militia should advance with him

into Bessarabia against the Russians, or whether it
should remain at home, under the command of
Count Coronini. The Wallachians have a great
obiection to the smell of powder, and it was settled
thdt they should remain where they are. Mr.
Colquhoun urges Omer and Dervish Pashas to
change all the Jiigh Wallachian employes who are
the creatures of Russia. The British Consul also
supports the Boyards who are opposed to the re•
turn of Stirbey. The Emperor of Austria has sent
a considerable sum to be distributed among the
poor of Bucharest. On the 24th the Turks crossed
the Buseo, and are advancing towards Fokschan,
Brailow, and Galatz. When last heard of they
were but , two post-stations from Brailow. Some
Turkish vessels have reconnoitred as far down the
river as Matschin. Below Matsehin the Russians
have still a strand battery.

A letter from Cronstadt (Transylvania), 24

ult., in the Moniteur, says

The entrance o:

the Austrians itito Welacilia and Moldavia com-
menced the day before yesterday. It was effected
at four different points—ltothen-Thurm, Prediala,
and Botza for Wallachia, and Bistritz for Moldavia.
News is now received every day from Vienna in a
few hours by means of an aeriau telegraph which
has just been established at Temisch, and which
joins the telegraph from Vienna at Hermannstadt."
A letter from Vienna, Ist inst., in the Swabian
Merciwy, says :—" I hasten to inform you that
the corps of observation on the Croatian and Turkish
frontier, from 25,000 to 30,000 strong, has received
orders to proceed into Gallicia and Transylvania.
They will be incorporated into the 3d and 4th corps
d'armee which are ready to take the field. In con-
sequence of this reinforcement, the army under
Baron de Hess will be carried up to 350,000 men.
The Baron will inspect the troops in Gallicia and
remain some days at Leopol, so that some little
time will elapse before he will proceed into Wal-
lachia."

The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" The intelligence
by telegraph from Bucharest comes down to the
29th ult. Dervish Pacha had arrived there, and
had announced by a proclamation that the Aus-
trians would provisionally occupy the Principalities
as allies of the Sultan. The privileges of the Prin-
cipalities are maintained. There had been up to
the above date 71 cases of cholera in the Turkish
camp. The Austrian officers are treated with great
distinction by Omer Paella, and the Turkish sen-
tries are ordered to render them the same honours
as to superior Turkish officers. Preparations are
being made to fortify Akernnan with care for the
establishment there of a camp of 4,000 cavalry."

child was fathered upon a man, named Thomas Fawcett
Covingley, who was stated to be a Primitive Methodist
local preacher. It was said that be had taken advan-
tage of his position as such to seduce the applicant. The

SWEDEN.

A letter from Hamburg, Ist inst., in the Incle-
Pendance of Brussels, says :—" We have received
accounts from Stockholm of the 28th ult. The
Swedish journals announce that the funds voted by
the Diet in April last, in order to enable the Go-
vernment by its military and naval armaments to
Make its declaration of neutrality respected, being
exhausted, the King is said to intend to avail
himself of the few days during which the Diet
will remain sitting to demand fresh subsidies, to be
devoted solely to maintain that strict neutrality.
This will be an additional proof of the firm inten-
tion of King Oscar not to depart from the line of
conduct which he has adopted from the commence-
ment of the war in the Baltic."

HUNGERFORD•PARK CLUB.—This great annual match
was opened at Hungerford-park on Monday, the whole
of which day was occupied by the first innings of th•
Hungerford-park Club. The club are upon this occasion
unusually strong, and it is very much a question whether,
with all the talent the " Eleven " have col'ected, they
will be able to overcome so much of "Oxford University"
as has been brought against them in this contest. The
day's play gave 162 runs.

THE WAR IN THE BALTIC.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I enclose you an extract from the "Almanac of
the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences" for 1854,
which shows for 135 years the opening and closing of the
river Neva by ice. I hope you may find room to pub•
lish it, as at this period of the year it may prove useful
to the allied fleets in the Baltic.

The dates are old style, to reduce which to new style
add 12 days.
N.B. The dates given are strictly for the river Neva.
Cronstadt is generally open via Oranienbaum, 10 to 14
days later, although sometimes closed in at the same
time, and a similar period, or a longer one, elapses after
the Neva hit free from ice before vessels can get up to
Cronstadt, the ice remaining in the gulf considerably
later.

the Neva to be covered with ice an average of 147 days,
or about two-fifths of the year. Once only was the
river open earlier than the 20th of March (1822, on-the

in December but three times, but during the 51 years of
the present century no less than nine times. The latest

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was scantily supplied with all kinds of
English wheat, both new and old; nevertheless, the demand
was iu a most inactive state, at Monday's decline in the
quotations.
The show of foreign wheat was large, and to have effected
sales, even lower rates must have been submitted to. The
few floating cargoes on offer were quite 2s to 3s per qr.
beneath last week's currency.

We had a dull inquiry 'for barley and malt, at barely
[ate rates. _

There was a good supply of oats in the market. The
trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Beans and peas were almost nominal. In flour next to
nothing was doing.

CLOSE OF THE FISHING SEASON ON THE TAY.—By
a special agreement at the time of letting, between the
proprietors and tacksmen of the fishing•grounds on the
Tay, from the Tinn of Campsie to the mouth of Earn,
the filing season was closed on Saturday. All things
considered, the year bas been a good one. We have
heard of individual losses, and also of persons concerned
who may be said to have neither losb nor won ; but,
taking the season as a whole, it has, to say the least of
it, left the fisher better than it found him.—Perthshire

as they had, he should have directed a prosecution him-
self

Mr. Clarkson did rvyt• to enter into unseem'y
squauble in that court ; and, as the case must be sent
elsewhere, he would ask his worship to reduce the
amount of bail, for he would submit that it was rather

excessive.
Mr. Paynter, in stating that he could not lessen the
amount of bail, namely, two sureties in 4001. each, and
the defendant in 8001., observed that he had no adverse
feelings of any kind against the Roman Catholics, and
that he was assured they knew perfectly well ; but the,
case was of such paramount importance to the social
welfare of the country that if it was passed over others
might occur, and the whole country would very soon
be in a state of anarchy and revolution.
After some conversation respecting the time when Mr.
Strowther, sen., would be able to attend to complete the
case, it was arranged that it should stand over until after
the ensuing sessions at the Central Criminal Court, and
that the rev. defendant should be sent for trial at the
following sessions.
Mr. Paynter theii adjourned the case for eight days,
anti .accepted the same bail for his appearance on Wed-
nesday to-morrow) week. The magistrate also said
that none of the witnesses need attend on that day, as
the case would be only formally gone into for another
remand.
The bail was then enlarged, and the defendant im-
mediately retired.

SPAIN'.

The following telegraphic despatches have been
received
"MADRID 3d.—Alarming reports are in circu-
lation relative to the health of Queen Christina.
She is said to have been attacked with brain
fever, which causes great unensiness."
" BAYONNE' 4th.—lt is announced that General
Dulce is about to return to Madrid at his own
request. The cholera is ragin g severely at Barce-
lona, where it is to be feared that, under existing
circumstances, the elections w ill be attended with
considerable difficulties."
Mr. Soule, the American Minister, has taken
his departure for France.
A letter from Bayonne of t'he 2d says :—" M.
Domenech, ex-Minister of Fik)ande in Spain, ar-
rived here yesterday with M. E'iartorious, Count de
San Luis. All the members of the late Spanish
Ministry are now in France, -with the exception of
General Blaser, who is in England."
We have received the Madrid journals of the
Ist, but their contents are aot of importance as
regards the measures of the Government or ti ,e
state of parties. There are s everal decrees in the
Gazette, but they are of a !local character. The
Espana states that the Frei ach and English Am-
bassadors at Madrid have exl ?ressed their satisfac-
tion at the late energetic uot iduct of the Govern-
ment, and expressed a hope that it will continue
with the same energy to prot( let the throne and the
cause of order.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The following is an interesting account of the
battle of Kuruk-Dere :

KARS, Aug. 7.—The defeat of the Ottomai
division at Bayazid, and the fear that the victorious
Russian troops would reinforce the enemy's fore,
on the Kars-tschai, led the Muchir, or field-marshal,
Zarif Mustapha Pacha, with the advice of tilt'
foreign generals present, to attack the latter with-

out delay. It was determined to march the troops
at night before the enemy's position, which was
to be attacked by daybreak. The night of the
4th instant was fixed upon. On the afternoon
of that clay the Muchir rode through the camp
exhorting the soldiers to do their duty, and to
die if necessary for their beloved Padisha.
The men answered with acclamations, and ap-
peared rejoiced at the prospect of meeting the
enemy. The etionin,o• drew on, and with it
arose a tremendous storm, which threatened to
arrest the march of the army. The rain soon
ceased, and Ito the awful storm of thunder and
lightning succeeded the most perfect calm. The
moon presently appeared, and her melancholy
beams shone on the plain beyond, which on the
morrow was to he the scene of so much carnage.
At 1 o'clock on the morning of the Gth the army
started. General Guyon mounted, and followed
by the staff, rode ahead to lead the way. The moon
had now retired, but the stars gave sufficient light
to show the position of the enemy. Unfortunately,
the general was accompanied by a lantern, which
more than once misled him. It would have been
better to have trusted alone to the stars. The
army commenced its march in deep silence; nothing
was heard but the slow tramp of the infantry, and
the heavy rumbling of the artillery. The ground
was unequal, and intercepted by small ravines, which
caused some confusion, and forced the artillery
to deviate from the strict line. A night 'march
must be characterised by some little confusion, but
"then proper time should be allowed to make up for
the delay which necessarily must occur. On the
present occasion this was hardly done, and owing
to numerous halts, caused by the uncertainty of
the way, more than two hours were lost. Day-
break discovered the right wing in position before
the enemy; whilst the left wing was five miles be.-
hind. The enemy had been apprised by his spies,
or by treachery, of the Turks' intentions, and had
taken up a strong position. His baggage and
camp had been packed and sent across the Kars-
tschai, and thus lie was enabled to move freely.
The first glance caught at dawn ,was the Turkish
right drawn up on some heights opposite the
enemy's position, and awaiting the arrival of
thq left • win.- to commence the action. The
Russians had already perceived the forlorn posi-
• tioa of the. Turkish right wing, and calculated
rightly that two hours must elapse before the left
wing could engage. They therefore changed their
position,and,' leaving the defensive one they had,
adopted, concentrated their whole •strength and
bore down -upon' the Turkish right wing. This was ,
