CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL.

On the motion for going: into committee on this bill,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY took the opportunity of
asking the Secretary of the Treasury what was the total
amount of money which the house had voted on esti-
mates. At the same time he begged to give notice that
on the third reading of this bill he should ask the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer whether he intended to adhere
to the principle which he laid down in the early part of
the session, of meeting the expenditure out of the taxes
to be raised within the year ; and he should also ask
the right honourable gentleman whether he intended
to increase the funded debt through the medium of
the savings banks. With regard to the question
which he had put to the Secretary of the Treasury, he
made the total amount of the estimates already voted
for the year reach to between 63,000,0001. and
64,000,0001.
Mr. WILSON said it was impossible for him to give
an answer off hand, but there were papers on the table
which would furnish the exact information required.
The bill then passed through committee, and was
ordered to be reported to-morrow.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

SOUTHAMPTON, Monday, eight a.m.•—The Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus
has arrived, with the heavy portion of the India
and China mails ; also, the Australian mail. Her
dates are, Alexandria, July 22, and Gibraltar
August 1.
The Tagus brings 76 passengers (of whom 37 are
first-class), 7 boxes of specie (value not given), and
a valuable cargo of silks, elephants' teeth, wine, &c.
From Gibraltar we learn that her Majesty's
steam• ship (E transport) Himalaya passed from
west to east at ten o'clock on the morning of the
31st ult. A number of horses were waiting to be
despatched to the East from Gibraltar, for the use
of the army there.

BIRTHS.

172,420 births were registered in the quarter ending
June 30, or 13,702 births in excess of the births in the
spring- quarter of 1853. On an average the births were
at the annual rate of 3.45 per cent. on the population in
the 10 spring quarters, 1844-53. In the spring quarter
of 1854 the rate was 3.72 per cent. The increase is
observable in every division of the country.

INCREASE OF POPULATION.
The number of children born last quarter was 172,420,
and in the same period 102,666 men, women, and chil-
dren died ; therefore the registers discover a clear gain
to the population of 69,754. But the increase or de-
crease of a people is not dependent entirely on the facts
recorded in its registers ; immigration and emigration
materially modify the result. The number of emigrants
who left English ports where emigration officers are eta-
tioned, as furnished by the commissioners, was 99,545.
They are not distinguished in this return as regards the
parts of the United Kingdom from which they came ;

but a large-- proportion were Irish, and many Scotch, who •
came hither only for embarkation. 0 116,861 persons
who left the ports of the United Kingdom, the
United States was the place of destination for 67,668 ;
British North America for 25,600 ; the Australian colo-
nies for 21;998; and 595 set out for other places. In
the preceding three winter months the number who left
did not greatly exceed a third part of the above number.

PRICES OF PROVISIONS.

In the last quarter consumers were not more fortunate
as regards the price of the chief articles of food than
they were in the preceding three months. Beef by the
carcase rose from 51d. to 58d. ; the mean price of mut-
ton remained at sd. ; that of potatoes rose from 140 s.
to 1555. per ton. The average price of wheat slightly
declined, having been in the previous three months 795.
6d., in the last three months 78s. 4d. per quarter, while
the quantity sold in the English and Welch towns that
make returns was less in the latter period by 4,180 quar-
ters weekly, and the amount of wheat flour imported for
home consumption remained nearly the same. Wheat
was 335. 10 per quarter dearer than in the correspond-
ing period of 1853. Beef and mutton in Leadenhall
and Newgate, which were then 4id. and sid., averaged
52d. and sid.. while potatoes are dearer by more than
20 per cent. The working classes have suffered from
the necessity of increased expenditure, which has been
aggravated in some parts by slackness of trade, but
generally sufficient employment and good wages have
enabled them to live in circumstances of comfort.

annoyance or persecution in any way after the officer
had been reprimanded by Colonel Garrott ?
Witness—l do not know at what time Colonel Garratt
reprimanded any officer for annoying Lieutenant Perry, •
but since I have been in the regiment I don't know of
any annoyance towards Lieutenant Perry.
By the Court--Has Lieutenant Perry ever joined in
practical jokes towards his brother officers ?
Witness—He once went with me to Lieutenant Duns-
combe's room. That is the only instance I know of.
The President—But that is no practical joke. (Laugh-
ter..)
What did you do to Mr. Dunscombe ?
Witness—We
wakened him up. (Laughter.)
By the Court—Was it on that occasion the door was
smashed in ?

Witness—To the best of my recollection it was not ;
but I will not be certain about it.

By the Court—Did Lieutenant Perry ever join in a
practical joke against yourself ?
Witness—l should say not ; but he was once in the
room when T was woke up in the same way as Duns-
combe was. (Laughter.) There was ne ill-will on any-
body's part.
Lieutenant Dunscombe was then called by the prose-
cutor, but it being then four o'clock the Court adjourned
until Monday (this day).

and suite, who arrived from London at half-past five
o'clock, and embarked in the Fairy for Osborne.

THE GUN-BOATS.
WooLwictr, Aug. 6.—The shipwrights of the dock-
yard and the workmen of Humphrys, Tennant, and
Dyke's were at work all day yesterday (Sunday) on the
Arrow screw steam despatch gun-boat, in the basin at
Woolwich. The Arrow is fitting with wire rigging.

General Prince Radzi will, of the Prussian service,
visited the Devonport Dockyard on Saturday, and was
conducted through the establishment by Admiral Stop-
ford and the principal officers.

Lieut. C. G. S. Woodman, who was sent to Melville
Hospital with severe injuries to his right hand, has again
returned to duty. In consequence of the injury received,
he has lost the use of the three back fingers, which incapa-
citates him from efficient duties. Having only one finger
and thumb for grasping his s word, he is taking lessons
for the sword and pistol exercise with his left hand. He
has returned from hospital at his own particular request
to join his ship. It will he remembered that it was in
attempting to save fr,om drowning a boy who had unfor-
tunately fallen overboard that he met with this ac-
cident.

LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR.

RETREAT OF THE RUSSIANS BEYOND
THE PRUTH.

VIENNA, Sunday Aug. 6.—Advices from Jassy,
of the 2d, state that several Russian regiments
are retiring behind the Pruth. Philo-Russia
journals at Jassy confirm this fact.

DEPARTURE OF THE RUSSIANS FROM
BUCHAREST.

The following has been received from Vienna :
" On the Ist of August the Russians retreated
from Bucharest, after having broken up the road
between that city and Kalugereny.
" Omer Pasha has sent a message to Bucharest,
requiring lodging and provisions for 12,000 men
inside the city, and rations for 20,000 outside the
walls.

" Before leaving Bucharest Prince Gortschakoff
assembled the Boyards and thanked them for the
manner in which they had treated the Russian
troops during their stay in Bucharest. The
General added, that strategic reasons induced him
to quit th 3 city, but that it was not improbable
he might return at an early period."

ATTACK UPON ALA D.-OCCUPATION OF

THE ISLAND BY THE FRENCH.

COPENHAGEN, Saturday.—Tho Berling Gazette

Degerby.
A six hours' cannonade, commencing in the
morning, was heard on the 2d, in the direction of
Aland.

TO THE ELECTORS OF HULL.

GENTLEMEN,—Repeated efforts to commu-
nicate with you have in one way or other failed.
Enough has probably found its way to create an expectation
of my being a Candidate.

I will not appear, except as an opponent of any nominee of
the unseated Members.

The Commission gave bribery a shock, and the object now I
is to save the pieces. The plan is to bring in two nominees
of the guilty parties, with an understanding to begin afresh
when the groundAtainared by a new Parliament.
These men willugti; on till the borough is disfranchised ;
which is what Youuare•driving upon. Do not trust too much
in the connivance of Parliament ; a tide in the national mind
might make evelifiltihrotection unavailing.
If there. was a disposition in the town to relieve itself from
the disg,raceir Warften brought to, it would be my duty to
come forward if asked. But I will be at no expense of any
kind ; and there must be some demonstration of the proba-
bility of success.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

THE RUSSIAN SHIP CESAROWITCH.

We find the following in a letter of the 3d,
from Hamburg :—" About a month ago I re-
ported to you the arrival here of the Russian
ship Cesarowitch, from China, with a valuable
cargo of silk, tea, and furs. The captain, who
is a German, and who learned the declaration
of war from another vessel at sea, immediately
altered his course, and, instead of sailing for
the Baltic, determined to run for the Elbe, and in
order to elude the British cruisers in the Channel,
he gave England a wide berth, sailed north-about,
and succeeded in bringing the ship in safety to a
neutral port. The cargo was immediately landed
the next day by the agent of the Russian-American
Company (to whom both ship and cargo belonged)
and forwarded by railroad to Berlin, and thence on
to Russia, whilst the captain and crew were also
I discharged, the latter being sent to their native
country. No further notice was taken of the affair
at the time, but a few days ago the Senate of this
city were considerably astonished by receiving al
joint note from the British and. French governments
through Colonel Hodges and M. de Cintrat, re-
quiring an explanation of the conduct of the
Ham burgh authorities in this affair, protesting
against it as a breach of neutrality, and eventu-
allyclaiming the value of the ship and cargo,
estimated at 100,0001. They rest their claim on
the vessel and cargo belonging to the Russian
government, and the former being fitted out as a
ship of war, carrying sixteen guns and a crew of
70 men, under which circumstances the authorities
ought not to have received the vessel in their port,
in which case she would have been captured by the
French and English steam cruisers. It is difficult
to understand the force of this logic ; for in the
first place the Russian-American Company is not
a Government concern, like the See-Handlung at
Berlin, but a private company, whose shareholders
are certainly more or less connected with the Go-
vernment, but still they have nothing whatever
it
to do with it, any more than the Dutch andei s-
Maatschappy, or the Austrian Lloyd's Company at
Trieste. And, in the next place, i
. tis a well-known
fact that all large East India. me
n. are well arm. ed,
and a very necessary precauti on it is, too, with a
valuable cargo on board, and having to thread the
intricate channels in the Indian Ocean, notoriously
infested by numerous pirates. The cargo is reported
in the official import-list as follows :—No. 2,653
Cesarowitch, Russian, 793 tons, B. Joerjan, from
Shanghai, bound to Cronstadt, 2,863 chests of
tea, 501 bales of silk, 158 bales of furs, 82 cases of
sealskins, 6 chests of seahorse tusks, 12 bales of
bearskins, and 8 boxes of minerals.

ANOTHER BATTLE ON THE DANUBE.

Accounts received in Paris yesterday state that a
sanguinary action had taken place near Giurgevo,
with great loss on both sidea. Three thousand
Turks crossed the Danube, drove in the Russian
advanced posts, attacked the town, and then retired.
There was also a report at Vienna yesterday that
Omer Pacha had crossed the Danube at Oltenitza.

The Presse of Vienna, quoting from L'Ami du
'oldat, says :
" The consequences of the entrance of the com-
bined fleets into the Black Sea are already showing
themselves. Fourteen thousand men have been
landed at Holiburgas, below Varna, from on board
transports, which had previously been carefully
watched by the Russians ; now, the Turks are
completely at liberty in the Euxine, These four-
teen thousand men are to move upon Varna, and
reinforcements from Constantinople and Adri-
anople are to take the same direction. The Otto-
ra;tn forces, from Pregona to Nicopolis, amount to
18,000 men, over and above a reserve of 36,000
at Sophia. The Russians have 41,000 infantry,
12,000 cavalry, and 120 guns, with a reserve of
15,000 men."

From Varna, Jan. 20, we learn that Omer Pasha
is entirely restored to health. A Wallachian Gene-
ral, two or three American officers, and se!eral
French and Swedish officers, have arrived at his
head-quarters to take service in the Ottoman army.
Considerable reinforcements are on march from
Sofia for Kalafat, where there is already assembled
an army of 25,000 men, provided with a numerous
and excellent train of artillery.
The Oest. Correspondenz announces that while
Russia and Turkey were fighting in Great Walla-
chia, Austria saw no reason for placing a corps on
the Turkish frontier ; but now that Lesser Walla-
chia has become the theatre of war, the Govern-
ment has resolved to station 25,000 men in the
Woywodina for the security of the frontier.
The Srbski Dnevnik states that a revolutionary
inroad by Milosch, the former Prince of Servia,
and a devoted tool of Russia, is apprehended, and
that General Knicanin's corps of 8,000 Servian
warriors has been posted at Semendria on the
Danube to defend the present Government.
A telegraphic communication from Belgrade, of
Feb. 4, says the Turkish firmans confirming the
rights of Servia have been. published. The diplo-
matic corps was not present.

ROBBERY.—The Court of Assizes of the Allier, four
days ago, tried two men, named Hebrard and Gilberton,
for robbery. The evidence was that, in the night of the
29th March, 1851, the shop of ajeweller named Laborde,
of Donjon, was broken into, and watches and jewellery
of the value of about 7,000 f. were stolen ; that the two
accused, with some other persons not in custody, subse-
quently sold part of the booty ; and that the two men,
having been arrested on suspicion, Hebrard gave details
which compromised both himself Ind his accomplice.
The jury declared both guilty, and the court condemned
Hebrard to twenty years' hard labour, and Gilberton
to twelve years of the same penalty. Ifehrard is an oil

GENERAL ANNUITY SOCIETT.—The twenty-eighth an-
niversary of this important charity 'was celebrated yes-
terday at the London Tavern. About 150 gentlemen
sat down to dinner, and the duties of chairman were
efficiently performed by Mr. Newdegate, M.P. After
the customary loyal toasts the peculiar claims of the
charity were brought under the notice of the company
by the chairman. The object of the General Annuity
Society was meant to grant annuities to decayed mem-
bers, bankers, professional men, master manufacturers,
tradesmen, their widows and clerks, &c., from all parts
of the United Kingdom. It had been now twenty-eight
years in existence, and the untiring patronage of the
public was the best proof of its intrinsic excellence. At
the conclusion of an eloquent appeal a collection was
made, the result of which was an addition of 750/. to the
funds of the charity. One or two other toasts were then
proposed, including the health of Mr. S. Aldritch, the
secretary, after which the company separated.
CONTUSION OF TIN CONVICT TAPNER.—On Friday

THE SUBMARINE AND EUROPEAN TELEGRAPH COM-
PANY.—The usual half-yearly general meeting of the
proprietors in this undertaking was held yesterday, at
the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the
report and upon other business ; Lord de Manley pre-
sided. The chairman read the report, which stated that
the telegraph between Dover and Ostend has now been
in uninterrupted communication since the 20th of June
last, and since that period the agreement between this
company and the Submarine Telegraph Company has
taken effect. The Queen's Speech at the opening of
Parliament was conveyed to Paris and Berlin before her
Majesty left the Palace of Westminster, and experiments
have been made which prove that no town in Europe
where a line of telegraph exists is beyond the reach of
immediate communication by the submarine wires from
London. The number of messages transmitted during
the month of January, 1852, after the opening of
the French line, was 1,068 ; in January, 1853, 2,013 ;
and in January, 1854, the number had increased to
3,120. This increase has been maintained in spite of
active opposition and the comparative stagnation of all
commercial affairs from the unsettled aspect of the pol!-
tical horizon. The present position of the comp.any
finances enables the directors to recommend a divideud
at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum for the last six
months, on the capital of 75,0001. He
concluded by
moving that the report be printed and circulated
amongst the proprietors. The motion, having
been
seconded, was carried nem. eon. A resolution for the
adoption of a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum for the last six months was carried.
resolution Mr. Foster
se
moved, and Captain Carnagie conded, a to
the effect that 300/. be presented to the directors for
their past services, and that 6001. be the annual remune-
ration for them in future. To this an amendment was
moved, that the sum of 2001. from the reserve fund be
voted to the directors for their past services. The
amendment, having been put, vas carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con-
cluded the business.
