TENANTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND).

Mr. V. SCULLY asked the First Lord of the Trea-

Ministers with regard to the Tenants' Compensation
(Ireland) Bill ; and whether it was intended to intro-
duce it now as a Government measure, and pass it
through its several stages early in the present session.
Lord PALMERSTON said last session a bill had been
brouuht in with respect to this subject, and difficulties
had been met with in quarters the least expected. The
encouragement the Government received last year was
not such as to induce the Government to propose or
take charge of any bill in the present session.

LATEST NEWS.

VIENNA, THURSDAY, JAN. 31, 10 A. M.

The Turkish Embassy in this city has been em-
powered to sign the Protocol if necessary.

BERLIN, THURSDAY.

The Austrian Ambassador, Count Esterhazy,
has communicated to the Prussian Cabinet the
projected proposal of Austria to the German Diet
for its accession to the accepted preliminaries.
The Saxon Prime Minister, Debeust, has ar-
rived at Berlin.

Our intelligence from Russia is to the effect
that, whilst the peace is heartily welcomed at
St. Petersburg, the feeling is very different at

Moscow.

The Balk of Odessa has a second time sus-

pended its cash payments.
The works on the new fortifications at St.
Petersburg and Cronstadt have already been
slackened, and the concentration of troops in the
Baltic provinces countermanded.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Jan. 19.—0 n Wed-
nesday an armistice was declared till four o'clock
in the afternoon, up to which time the Russians
and the French amused themselves by walking
about in the Tchernaya valley in front of the out-
posts. They were so near together that they could
distinctly see each other's countenances.

Since the last mail left the English engineers
have blown up the entrance gate to the east dock,
and to-day there will, in all probability, be another
small explosion.

There is little to record during the past week
but the various rumours with which the camps
have been agitated respecting the chances of a ces-
sation of hostilities, and the plans of the future
campaign in case the negotiations for peace should
be unsuccessful. In the meantime, preparations
are being made to meet all contingencies.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 21.—The Turkish official
world of Stamboul is still in suspense about the
Ministry. The Sultan is said to press very much,
especially since the last fortnight, Redschid Pasha
to accept office, appealing to his patriotic feelings ;
but as he does not consent to sanction the pro-
gramme which the latter proposes, the chances of
Redschid Ministry are becoming smaller.
The Loan Commission has at last tired out even
Turkish official slowness, and is beginning to get
into working order, with regular sittings twice a
week. •The project which has been submitted to
the Porte defining the exact position of the Com-
mission, bas, with very small modifications, been
accepted.
The only point which now remains to be settled
is the manner how the funds should be transmitted.
The Commission proposed to open it to competi-
tion on the Exchange, and accept the most favour-
able offer. Nothing has been decided as yet in
this respect.

The news from Persia relates almost exclusively
to the Herat affair. The official gazette of
Teheran, which has been for some time past busy
with Herat, has in its last number the report, that
Dost Mohamed Kban was marching with an army
on Herat in order to expel the Persians from there.
According to the Teheran Gazette, he was already
one day's march on the Herat side of Candahar.
How he came there so suddenly is not explained,
nor how he got possession of Candahar.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 21.—His Highness Said
Pasha, the Viceroy, who has been moving from
place to place between Cairo and Damietta, re-
turned to Alexandria yesterday, on the arrival of
au envoy from Constantinople with special de-
spatches for him. It is said that Said Pasha contem-
plates a visit to Constantinople. This is not be-
lieved ; but El Hamee Pasha, son of the late Abbas
Pasha, is to proceed thither shortly, to be married
to the Sultan's daughter, Sultana Munireh, to
whom ho was betrothed in 1854.

The river Nile is rising rapidly, and its waters
are beginning to cover the country ; last year's
crops are being brought down to Alexandria in
large quantities for shipment, while the prospects
for next year's harvest are very encouraging. On
the 11th the Pasha attended in State at the cere-
mony of the cutting of the canal which leads from
the Nile into and through the t3wn. of Cairo, and
which is generally done when the river has attained
the 16th cubit of the Nilometer. Much import-
ance is attached to this ceremony, as it is taken as
a proof that the river has risen sufficiently to in-
sure average crops, and there is an old law that
the land-tax cannot be exacted unless the Nile
rises to the height of 16 cubits of the Nilometer.
The Pasha's steamer Faid Gehaad, after con-
veying Redschid. Pasha to Constantinople, brought
back to Alexandria about 2,300 non who formed a
portion of the Egyptian army which took part in
the war with Russia. All these troops have landed
with the Crimean medal, of which they are very
proud, and when they left Constantinople they ze-
ceived the pay due to them up to the day of embar-
kation, so that they have returned to their homes
comparatively Hob. The remainder of the Egyp-
tian troops—about 16,000 men—are shortly ex-
pected from Constantinople. Said Pasha gives
them all a leave of two months, after which there
will be an inspection, when some will be finally
discharged, and the strong and healthy will be en-
rolled in new regiments.
The fall in the prices of corn in England has had
the effect of paralysing trade here, and just now
nothing is doing. The ba,..hour is full of vessels,
most of which barely find employment, as holders
do not like to effect shipments with the present
prospects. Prices of wheat are nominally kept up,
but they must fall in a few days. Freights are
very dull, at 55. per quarter.
Our exchanges keep up at 1001 piastres per £
sterling.

The—surveying steam-sloop Tartarus, Captaia
Maunsell, is to return to Pelusium oti the 23d, and
will remain there about a month to complete the
survey of that coast. On coming back to Alexan-
dria Captain Maunsell is to make a survey and
chart of the port of Alexandria.
A box containing 4,0001. worth of India postage
stamps, lost last October by the transit adialinis-
tration, and found in May by an Englishman em-
ployed on the works of the electric telegraph, has,
after much conversation and correspondence with
regard to the responsibility of receiving and claim-
ing the box, been given up to the agent of the East
India Company, and will be sent back to England.

BURMAH.

Letters from Rangoon are to the 30th, and from
Moulmein to the 24th of June. A correspondent
of the Calcutta Englishman writes under the for-
mer date :

" It may be recollected that two or throe years
since a paragraph appeared in some of the journals
to the effect that when Tharawaddy, the present
king's father, took posses§don of the throne, he
ordered the then Seyka Meng (the heir apparent)
and all his children to be put to death ; but a ser-
vant escaped with the youngest, and concealed him
for some years. _ The young prince subsequently
managed to escape to Moulmein, and thence came
round to Rangoon, living in a very quiet way, and
recently took up his residence with one of the prin-
cipal writers in the Customs department there.
" On Friday; the 27th, between two and three
in the morning, a band of villains proceeded to the
house, pounced upon him while asleep, dragged
him off his bed, and with a single blow nearly se-
vered his head from his body, and otherwise fear-
fully cut him up. The writer, hearing the noise, came
out of his room, and was at once cut down, stabbed
to the heart, And his right foot cut off and his

The Overland Friend of China, in its summary,
dated Hong Kong, July 10 says :
" In all the surrounding country we hear of the
existence of much anarchy—repeated defeats of the
Imperialist fleets and armies; and it is not unlikely
that with the next mail we shall have to tell of
panics at Shanghai and Canton again.
" Notwithstanding her internal troubles, China
is still able to supply us with plenty of tea. The
total export for the year ended the 19th ult. was
nearly 6,000,000 pounds in excess of the export of
tha year previous, and 20,000,000 pounds (or an
increase of nearly a fourth of the whole export),
over that of the year ended June, 1853.
" The first of the new season's teas have gone
from Full-thou-fu, in the Chrysolite and two or
three clippers. The clipper Cairngorm will be the
first, on the 21st inst., with new teas from Canton.
The new teas from this quarter are nominally two
and three taels lower in price than last year's crop.
Exchange and quality considered, however, they
are really a tael and upwards higher. Sales of 13
hopohopa only are kuuvru of as yet—d 3 many more re-
maining on the market."

SOUTHWARK.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE WITH A HAMMER.
—Richard illorga2z, a dirty looking old fellow, the
keeper of a brothel in King-street, Borough-road, was
brought before Mr. Combe, charged with committing a
violent assault upon Hannah Ongley with a hammer.
The complainant, whose left eye was swollen and
much bruised, stated that she was an unfortunate
female and lodged in the prisoner's house. On Fridßy
morning, shortly after ten o'clock, the prisoner, who
bad been drinking all night, came up to her and asked
her for some money, she told him that she owed him no
rent and she had no money. Ile then said you b-
go and look for some. She replied that she could not
at that time, when he seized up a hammer and with-
out any further remarks, struck her violently on the left
eye, nearly stunning at the two. He was about to repeat
the blow when she closed in with him, and, after a severe
struggle, succeeded in wrenching it from his grasp. A
constable then came up, and she gave the prisoner into
custody. In answer to Mr; Combe, witness said she
had been drinking with the prisoner during the night
and morning, and was a little under the influence of
liquor when he struck her, but she never gave him any
provocation to strike her with such a weapon as a ham-
mer. Fortunately for her the wound was not very
severe.

e:' Police constable 180 M stated that on Friday morn-
ing, shortly after two o'clock, he was on duty in the
Borough-road, when he heard a female calling out mur-
der in King-street. He proceeded there, and saw the pri-
soner and the prosecutor struggling together. The latter
had a hammer in her hand, and she gave him into
custody for striking her on the eye with it. The parties
were both under the influence of liquor, but the female
had an extensive bruise on her left eye.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that the
complainant had been annoying him all the morning
because he would not give her more drink. He then
told her either to go to bed or leave the house, and on
her refusal they had a struggle together, but he had no
recollection of striking h-r with a hammer.

The complainant said that she had paid for ❑early all
the drink, and because she would not go and get more
money in the street he struck her. She, however, did
not wish to punish him.

Mr. Combe said that had they not both been in a state
of intoxication he should have punished the prisoner
with great severity. As he might have received soma pro-
vocation from her, however, he should sentence him
to two months' hard labour in the Ilouse of Correction
at Wandsworth.

BURMAH.

Letters from Rangoon are to the 30th, and from
Moulwein to the 24th of June. A correspondent
of the Calcutta Englishman, writes under the for-
mer date :
" It may be recollected that two or three years
since a paragraph appeared in some of the journals
to the effect that when Tharawaddy, the present
king's father, took possession of the throne, he
ordered the then Seyka Meng (the heir apparent)
and all his children to be put to death ; but a ser-
vant escaped with the youngest, and concealed him
for some years. The young prince subsequently
managed to escape to Moulmein, and thence came
round to Rangoon, living in a very quiet way, and
recently took up his residence with one of the prin-
cipal writers in the Customs department there.
4, On Friday, the 27th, between two and three
in the morning, a band of villains proceeded to the
house, pounced upon him while asleep, dragged
him off his bed, and with a single blow nearly se-
vered his head from his body, and otherwise fear-
fully cut him up. The writer, hearing the noise, came
out of his room, and was at once cut down, stabbed
to thQ heart, ana ilia right iQot cut Qfx ova his

body dreadfully mangled. A third man in another
house who came to his door and called out "Who's
there ?" received a slash which took away a part of
his cheek. The ruffians came with blazing torches,
and said to each other on reaching the house,
" Look well before you cut ;" and when the two
victims were dead remarked " Our work is now
done, let us be off, and let the bodies lie there till
they stink." They did not carry away the value
of a pin, which shows plunder was not their object.
The bodies were publicly buried the next day,
and one of the largest processions that has ever
been seen in Rangoon, followed them to the grave.
Thousands upon thousands of both sexes collected
on the sad occasion.

At the time this persons appearance in Rangoon
was noticed by the papers, it was also remarked
that had he turned up sooner, being the heir ap-
parent to the throne, our government might have
made something of him. These papers found their
way to the capital, and it is known created a good
deal of excitement among thole in power there,
and there can be little buestion that this foul deed
was concocted there, but from what is now known
of the present King we may be sure he has been in
utter ignorance of any such murderous intention.
The Bengal Ilurkanci of July 17, says : "In
British Burmah a rumour was abroad of a
threatened attack upon a small British post ; but
this, even if correct, i 3 to be regarded more as a
banditti affair than a political movement."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, JULY 28.
The overland mail of the 26th June was received in
Bombay, per Peninsular and Oriental steamer Cadiz,
on the 20th July. Our money market during the fort-
night has been easy, and no change has taken place in
Bank rates of interest since our last report.
For a time the rains held off, but within the last few
days have resumed, and we have before us the promise
of a very fair monsoon ; accounts from the interior are
also most favourable.

IMPORT MARKET,—A. fair amount of business has
been transacted. There is good inquiry for grey shirt-
ings, for 40in. up to Bilb. ; those above are in slight re-
quest ; of 45in. there is a fair inquiry for those of
middling quality, the demand for higher being moderate.
For all descriptions of grey Madapollams there is a mo-
derate inquiry. In grey jaconets we have no change to
note. Grey T cloths of less than 61b. have declined, for
71b. there is inquiry. Grey lotgcloths of all descriptions
are little sought after, and can only be put off with diffi•
culty. Grey domestics are in inquiry. There is a fair in-
qu'ry for low and middling bleached shirtings; the higher
qua'ities, however, are in slight request.
There is a fair inquiry both for mule and water cotton
yarns, without, however, any material change in prices,
with the exception of water No. 20, which has advanced.
-P..;stao. Tonneigo in abundant, and freights have
declined. The rates to London and Liverpool rre now
quoted at 21.

- Exchange has ruled much the same as last mail, viz. :
--2 s. Id. for Bank, and 23. Id. to 5-I6d. for local
credits. We quote as the rate of the day for documents,
2s. lal. to 2a. lA.d. On China, 60 days' sight, 227 per
100 dols. Calcutta court-hill, 60 days' sight, 994 rs.
Madras, 30 days' sight, 99 rs.

CALCUTTA, JULY 17.

Our Money Market continues in the same state as re-
ported for last mail. Accommodations are obtainable
in the bazar on very easy terms—about 1 to 11 per
cent, below the bank rat-s. The Bank of Bengal, as
noticed in our last, reduced its rates on 3d inst. 2 per
cent. all round. There has been no alteration since.

Exchange—Little has been doing since the last mail,
and rates have an upward tendency. The present quo-
tations are : First-class credits at six months' sight, 2s.
11d. to 2s. lid. ; document bills, 2s. 12d, to 2,, lid.;
Lank post bills, 2s. lid.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, AUG. 28.
For some time past an abundant supply of wool has
kept pouring into this market, and we have now on
hand large quantities of all kinds of combing and colo-
nial sorts. Prices, therefore, are not quite so firm as
they were some time ago; but as the staplers have pur-
chased their stocks at high rates, they find themselves
compelled to stand out against the lowering tendency of
the market. Business is consequently checked, and the
transactions are very limited.
Business in yarns displays a manifest improvement.
Last week the operations for the continent were more
extensive than had been the case for a long period pre-
viously. This week there was even an increase upon the
transactions of last, and where the spinners would con-
cede a fraction in favour of the exporters, the latter
were very ready to enter into contracts for future deli-
very. The high price of the raw material, however,
compels spinners to act with caution and to stand firm ;
and the fact that the production is at present limited
(a great quantity of machinery having been stopped in
consequence of the high price of wools and the unremu-
nerative price of yarns) is in their favour.
The manufacturers of worsted goods,are evidently de-
termined to obtain better prices for their fabrics than
have been current. It is quite time, too, that they
should do so, inasmuch as for months past they have not
been able to cover the cost of production. Last week
the demand for seasonable fabrics was tolerably good,
and promising for the future ; this week, in consequence
of the wetness of the weather and the occurrence of the
triennial musical festival, fewer merchants have appeared
in the market, and business has been duller. There is
no change, however, in the relative position of the parties,
and the prospects of the manufacturers may still be said
to be improving.

The bar silver brought by the last West India steamer
was sold yesterday at the same rate as that obtained for
the previous arrival—namely, aid. per ounce. The
dollars have not yet been disposed of.

ASCENT OF TUE NILE.

The Pacha of Egypt has ordered a new expedi-
tion to be organised to ascend the Nile under M. le
Comte D'Escayrac de Lauture, an experienced
African traveller, and the author of a recent work
on Sudan, and of other treatises on African
geography.

The expedition will be accompanied by 12 Euro-
peans, eight of whom have been already engaged,
including three Frenchmen and three Austrians,
and the chief is desirous of procuring the assistance
of English officers accustomed to astronomical and
meteorological observations and the management
of boats.

The count has just left London, having been in
communication with the secretary of the Royal
Geographical Society on the subject of the expe-
dition, which is intended to start from Cairo in
October.

The expedition is undertaken entirely at the cost
of the Viceroy of Egypt, and the members will
receive, in addition to their rations, the payment of
101. to 141. per month, for a period computed at
two years. The members are expected to start
for Marseilles on the 18th of September.

LORD BIER.—The elevation of the Right. lion. E.
Strutt to the peerage has given the greatest satisfaction
to the inhabitants of Derby, but more particularly to the
members of the Derby Mechanics' Institution, .of which
his lordship is the president. On Thursday a d‘oloutation
from that body waited upon Lord Belper at ingston-
hall, when they presented him with an addrek re of con-
gratulation on the honour conferred upon hi] xi by the

the deputation returned to Derby.
