The Earl of DERBY replied. He said he had 'not
meant to impute any blame to. his noble friend the Com-
mander-in-Chief for not having defended the officers whose
conduct had been impugned in the report of the commis-
sioners. On the contrary, his noble friend had himself
confirmed everything he (the Earl of Darby) had said upon
the subject, because he had told their lordships that as
soon as the report had been brought under his notice, he
had thought that an opportunity' should be afforded to
those officers of exculpating themselves. What he (the
Earl of Derby) complained of was that the report had not
bean communicated to his noble friend until the time had
come for laying it before Parliament. He was ready to
confess that in enumerating the duties of the Secretary of
State he had omitted to mention that that minister was
responsible for the Upantint of the forces to be maintained ;
hat he still contended that the military duties attwhed to
the ioffice had been inconsiderable. He could not sit
down without expressing the satisfaction with which he
had heard the statement of the noble earl opposite in re-
ference to the continuance of the office of Commander-in-
Chief. (Hear.) It appeared to him that the noble lord
had made the case between himself and the Commander-
in-Chief as clear as the nature of the subject would admit;
and he believed the language of the noble lord would re-
move much misunderstanding and misconception. (Hear,
hear.) He rejoiced at having obtained a formal declara-
tion on the part of the noble lord, and, of course, on the
part of her Majesty's Government, of their determination
to maintain inviolate in the hands of the Commander-in-
Chief the control of the discipline, of the organisation,
and of the patronage of her Majesty's forces. (Hear,
beer.)
The conversation then dropped, and their lordships ad-
journed.

The SPBAKEN took the chair nt the usual hour.

DENMARK.

The erections, now in progress in Denmark, of
members to the Supreme Grand Council of the
monarchy are much more favourable to the Unitary
Conservatives than was at first supposed. Accord-
ing to the last accounts, the strength of the two
parties was equally balanced in Zeeland and in the
capital, where a seventh member had still to be
elected ; we now learn that the Conservative can-
didate has carried the day. In Fionia, the ultra-
Danish list has prevailed ; but in Jutland their
adversaries have carried the election of M. Tillisch,
one of the ex-Ministers now under prosecution
before the High Court of Justice. The electoral
college of Holstein, which had elected Al. Scheele,
the ex-Minister of the duchy, also under prosecu,-
tion, has, strangely enough, given him a colleague
in the person of a functionary whose dismissal
forms one of the chief grievances of the Diet against
the above-named Minister. The session of the
special Diet of the kingdom of Denmark is about
to close ; its spirit of hostility to the union of all
the parties of the monarchy has remained the same
to the last.

RAMSOATE HARBOUR. —From a copy of the report of
Gen. Williams. RE., regarding Rarusgate Harbour, pre-
sented to the Board of Trade in January, 1854, it ap-
pears that the report of the select committee of the
House of Commons might be safely carried out—that
there would be an ample accumulation of revenue in the
interval to form a reserve fund of some 15,8001., to be
set apart for incidental services or casualties ; that the
passing tolls might be abolished at the end of the year
1855—that the expense of maintaining the harbour would
not exceed 7,000/. a year, and that the cost of putting
tho harbour works in repair would certainly not exceed
11,0001., and might possibly not exceed 6,300/. This
report was only ordered to be printed on the 12th
instant

THE CRINIEIN CONIMISSION.

Lord PANM.URE announced that her Majesty by
the advice of her Ministers had appointed a board of
general officers to inquire into the matters adverted to
in the report made by the Com►nissioners sent out to the
Crimea. That board would have the power to recsive
and to consider the different statements of those officers
whose conduct bad been animadverted on in the report
alluded to.

The Earl of HARDWICKE said it was his opinion
that the very moment the report in question had been
placed in the hand.; of the Commander-in• Chief, the na-
tural and proper course for that distinguished individual
to pursue would have been immediately to order a
full and searching inquiry into the conduct of
those officers charged in that report with mis-
conduct. He thought that the situation of those
officers was one of a very painful and delicate character.
They had been obliged to bear the obloquy of public
opinion, and to endeavour to redress their own grievances
by their own bands in the public prints.
Lord PANAIURE denied that the Government could

act otherwise than they bad alreadidone:—.7ll;;;pub-
lished the report as soon as it was possible after they
had read it, and now certain officers who felt themselves
aggrieved by it thought that they were improving their
position by publishing at once their own defence in the
public papers. Tnis was no fault of his.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH asked whether the
Commission would have thepower to examine witnesses?
Lord PANMURE answered in the affirmative.
Earl GREY thought that the subject was too im-
portant to be introduced in this irregular manner.
A course had now been taken by the Government which
might lead to serious consequences. The usual way for
the Government to pursue was to declare their judg-
ment on the report in question, and to state
what ulterior proceedings ought to be founded on that
report.
After a few observations from Earl GRANVILLE and
Lord BROUGHAM, the subject dropped.

BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE REPAIRS.

A. voluminous report made by the Bridge-house letates
Committee, detailing the enormous sums of money ex.
pended in repairing Blackfriars-bridge from time to time,
was ordered :to be printed. It ends in the following
recommendation :—" We therefore recommend that the
present unsightly centrings under the sth and 6th
arches of Blackfriars-bridge, and the Dolphin piles and
booms connected therewith, should be removed, and
that in lieu thereof iron ribs bhould be placed under
those arches, as shown by the model accompanying this
report, at the estimated expease of 17,0001.
The motion of Deputy CdTDER "to agree with the
committee in their report" was seconded by Deputy
BARNARD.

Deputy AITCHESON moved the previous question.
Mr. ANDERTON said it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to place the bridge property in the hands of

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat up to our market this
week, coastwiA3 and by land carriage, have rather in-

With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. The
amount of business doing in most descriptions was limited,
nevertheless the quotations were well supported.

full prices.
The malt trade was dull, at the late decline.
There was less activity in the demand for oats, at late

With regard to the feeling of the people of Chide in fa.
tour or against the anitextion of Odd° to India he could
give no information. The policy of the Government of
Oude had been to prevent the free exercise of public
feeling.
Sir E. PERRY condemned the conduct of Lord Dal-
housie in India. He thought the answer of the President
of the Board of Control to Mr. Otway's question unsa-
tisfactory. He (Sir E. Perry) wished to be able to deny
the assertion that had been made against England of
making unjust aggressions in India.
Sir J. HOGG defended the conduct of Lord Dalhousie.
Mr. J. PHILLIMORE supported Mr. Otway in
putting this question to the President of the Board of
Control, and characterised the conduct of Lord Dal-
housie in India as being influenced with a dangerous
spirit of aggraadisement in that country.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, at extreme prices. The sales were 7,000
bales, 500 for export, comprising. 150 Pernam and
Maranham, 6:td. to 61d. ; 400 Egyptian, Gd. to
Bd. ; 1,000 Surat, 31d. to 4.1 d. per lb. Th•
Railway Share Market was quiet, and quotations
slightly lower.

The accounts from Madrid contain the particu-
lars of the public debts of Spain, from which it
appears that the total amount on the 30th June,
1855, was 13,580,466,110 reals. The principal
items of this sum, are the 3 per Cent. Stock (in-
ternal), 2,681,011,544 reals, 3 per Cents. Deferred
1,597,289,456 r., and Foreign Bonds 970,964,000.
The amount of the redeemable debt purchased by
the state from 1851 to 1855 amounts t 0.934,935,271
reals. Business on the Madrid Bourse is improving,
and money is becoming more plentiful on account
of the number of foreign capitalists embarking in
Spanish undertakings. The Three-per-Cents
were done at 33, and the New Deferred at 23 70.
The financial operations of the new Minister of
Finance, Senor Santa Cruz, are not popular ; and
considerable modifications will be made in his
scheme of levying an indirect tax on commodities
instead of the old octroi duties.
Accounts from Berlin mention that the Chamber
of Deputies have given their unanimous sanction
to the Government proposition to employ a por-
tion of the recent loan of 30,000,000 thalers to-
wards paying the military expenses of the king-
dom. The Minister of Finance announced to the
house that he would not ask for the proposed loan
made by him at the commencement of the session.

Although the business at the Stock Exchange
commenced this morning at 10 o'clock, in conse-
quence of the taking of the New Loan, the dealers
generally refused to operate until the prices
accepted by the Government was ascertained.
It was generally believed the figure would be
about 89i, and when it transpired that the
minimum fixed by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer was 90, some dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed as it was considered too high. The Stock
Market consequently gave way. Consols after
being 91 for money receded to 90/, and the
account prices have declined to 91. The New Loan
Scrip is lower /I premium, and that of the funding
is heavy at 4 / premium. The New 3 per Cents.
have been 92g 1, and 91i 92. The Reduced An-
nuities are 91g I. Bank Stock is 2131 to 215, and
India Stock 221. Exchequer Bills are 45., 25., and
ls. di,count, and India Bonds 2s. discount.
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that there
has been less activity in the market for American
Securities, but prices remain without alteration at
the following quotations :

BERLIN, Aua. 22,

The Indicateur Officiel of St. Petersburg an-
nounces that the Imperial Court will leave for

Moscow on the 26th, will make its solemn entry
on the 29th, and that the coronation will take
place on the 7th September.

HAMBURG, Auo. 22,

The cholera has broken out with great severity
at Stockholm. It is said that General Bodisco,

the Russian military envoy, is one of its firs

victims.

MADRID, AUG. 22.

Prince Adalbert arrived here yesterday evening,
and was received with great state. The nuptial
ceremony will take place on Monday next, the
25th. The Gazette publishes the decree defini-
tively disbanding the National Guard. The Go-
vernment will render an account of this measure
to the Cortes at its next session.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says :

" With reference to M. Hubner's arrival at Na-
ples, whence it is said that he will proceed to
Gaeta, where the Court at present is, the Nord of
yesterday has a correspondence from Vienna, in
which is repeated the statement made some time
ago, that he is charged with a non-official mission--
its object, the amicable arrangement of the Neapo-
litan difficulty. The Belgian paper says that
Austria will certainly not press upon King Ferdi-
nand reforms whose concession would be the signal
for similar demands addressed to Austria herself
for her kingdom of Italy, and for the duchies at-
tached to her by dynastic ties. I think we may
fairly accept the natural inference from this that
the Italian subjects of Austria are not much better
off than those of Naples, and that reform is nearly.
as much needed in the north as in the south. The
Nord proceeds to make the following highly pro-
bable estimate of the extent to which Austria is
disposed to interfere :

" All that our Cabinet (that of Vienna) desires, is that
King Ferdinand should make some conciliatory ad.
vances, take some step calculated to tfrace the deplorable
(facheuse) impression produced on the Western Cabinets
by the tone of the last reply to the notes of France and
England. In a word, it is an affair that must be ctifled
as soon as possible, and without wounding the rights or
dignity of anybody. That is the substance of the mis.
sion which Baron Hubner is at this moment charged to
fulfil at the Court of Naples, and whose success no one
is better fitted to ersure." "

THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NlO-11T.
By the Peninsular and Orienlal Company's
steam-ship Tagus, Captain Cristian, we have dates
from Gibraltar, 16th ; Cadiz, 17th ; Lisbon, 79th ;
Oporto, 20th ; and Vigo 21st inst. Tho Tagus
brings 29 passengers, 450 boxes of oranges, a cargo
of fruit, and a small quantity of specie.
Accounts from Gibraltar state that Prince IVil-
liarn Adalbert of Prussia was rapidly improving.
The wounded officers and men were in a favourable
way to recovery. Exchange on London at 90 days
was quoted 514. Spanish pillared dollars, per
cent. premium.
Her Majesty's steamers Cyclops and Vesuvius
left Gibraltar on the 16th. Her Majesty's ship
Leander arrived on the same day. '1 he French
steamers of war Prince Jerome and Magellan were
at Lisbon on the 19th.

Bills on London continued scarce upon the Lis-
bon Exchange, and the transactions were conse-
quently trifling at 541 for three months.
Bills on Paris were quoted 5,28, Amsterdam,
404 ; Hamburg, 48 • and Genoa, 5 to 6 2 ; Portu-
guese Three per dents. were again looking up,
and the demand appeared greater than the supply
at 45 to 45i ; Bank of Portugal Shares, 495 to 497
milreis each ; and Oporto Bank Stock, 18 to 20
per cent. premium.
The following is extracted from our Lisl9on letter
of the 19th :

"I am happy to Fay several Sundays and holydays
have now gone by without any renewal of the bread
riots, although the bakers still keep away from the corn-
market, business must therefore resume its usual course,
as the stock of flour in the hands of millers and bakers
is nearly exhausted. Among other classes confidence
has fully revived, and no one fears a repetition of the
riots, now that the authorities hive shown themselves
resolved to put them down. Cases of cholera have
greatly decreased here, and accounts from Madeira, of
the 14th, are also more encouraging. At Cintra several
cases have appeared, and three deaths are reported
among the royal servants at the palaco where the King
is residing. Nailing particular has yet resulted from
the police examination of the late riots. Twelve of the
artillerymen are to be tried by a court-martial on ac-
count of the occurrences at Illeleern."

RUE RIFE PIRATES.

The Pays of Paris says that as soon as the Russian
Government heard of the attack of tho Riff pirates upon
Prince Adalbert,lof Prussia, it offered to take part in an
expedition to cliasti.,e them. Russia proposes to furnish
a flotilla of two frigates and two corvettes. These ves-
sels, fully armed, are now lying at Croastadt ready to
put to sea. They purpose, it is said, to join the Prussian
squadron now assembling at Stralsund, and which is to
go out of harbour the beginning of next month.
The Patric objects that it will be very difficult for the
expedition to propose any definite object to be accom-
plished. The Riffs, it says, are rather wreckers than
pirates. They have no ships, at least no decked vessels.
What, therefore, can a squadron do against them 7 The
Riffs do not expose themselves to danger at sea. The
expeditionary squadron can only send a landing party to
march over sandy plains against impenetrable rocks,
through a district where they would not find a single
position to be taken or a village to be occupied. The
Patric therefore thinks, being doubtless guided in its
opinion by a jealousy of joint operation by Prussia and
England, that the best course would be to address a re-
monstrance to the Emperor of Morocco, whose authority
the Riff tribes ostensibly recognise. These remon.
strances might, it says, be supported by tcserious de-
monstrations," in respect of which the " powers hate•
rested" would come to a previous agreement. In sup.
port of this view, another edition of the Patric observes
that the naval force of Prussia is much more than suffi.
cient for all that can be done by sea against the pirates
that if the aid of England is invoked, it can only be with
the object of obtaining a marked satisfaction from Mo.
MCC°.

DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS IN IRELAND.—On this sub-
ject the Office of National Education at Dublin has
issued the following letter :
"Office of National Education, Aug. 21.
" Sir,—We have had the honour of laying before the
Commissioners of National Education your letters of the
10th of July and the 18th instant, relative to the great
importance of the destruction of weeds along the sides
of highways. We are directed to state, in reply, that the
commissioners cordially approve of the suggestion you
have made, that the children attending the National
schools should be instructed by their respective teachers
as to the necessity of destroying all weeds found on the
farms of their parents, or on the highway adjacent
thereto. The commissioners will therefore have much
satisfaction in pointing out to their inspectors the steps
necessary to be taken for carrying your suggestion into
elfeet.'!
