THE BALTIC FLEET.

No later telegraph news. Twenty-nine English and
eighteen French vessels of war were at anchor in Baro
Sound.

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.

The Terrible and Retribution had been cruizing before
Sabastopol. They perceived on the 31st of May several
Russian ships of war putting back on their approach,
believing, no doubt, that they found the advance guard of
the combined squadron. When, however, they discovered
them to be unaccompanied, two liners, two frigates, and
two steamers sallied out in pursuit. The English vessels
then retired.

The Times' Paris correspondent alludes to reports that
the recal of the English envoy at Constantinople is being
pressed by the French Government upon the attention of
the English Cabinet.

SILISTRIA.

PsittS,MONDAY.—The Moniteur contains the following:

BUCHAREST, 16Th INST.—On the 13th the Turks
with the greatest determination, attacked the besiegers.
The action had already lasted four hours, and had not ter-
minated when the messenger quitted Kalarasch. General
Schilders had been carried off the field of battle seriously
wounded. It is believed that the troops which had been
forwarded for the relief of the place had taken part in the
battle.

The Chronicle says :—Advices from Silistria of the 12th,
in local papers, state that on the 9th the Russians stormed
forts five and nine, and were repulsed with a loss of 2,000.
The Turks lost 800. Mussa Pacha is alive.

A conversation arose as to the right of the Earl of Donough-
more and several other Peers to vote in a pending election of
an Irish representative Peer. The subject was eventually re-
ferred to the Committee of Privileges.
Lord LYNDHURST, in a lengthened speech, drew attention
to the memorandum relating to the Eastern Question, trans-
mitted by the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin to their envoys
at the Diet. He pointed out with great force the importance
of the matter, the statu quo ante bellum not being conceded
with respect to the territory of Russia, which, from the docu-
ment in question, seemed to be the object of the German
Powers. He described the aggressive policy of Russia of late
years, and said that material guarantees must be taken from
her. Her pledges were not worth the paper on which they
were written. The German Powers must have the Danube
placed beyond Russian control, the Circassians be delivered,
the Russian navy in Sebastopol be destroyed, and the Crimea
taken from her.
The Earl of CLARENDON, after some complaints of the
irregularity of the discussion, stated that Austria was nowa
cordially acting with England and France, haveandwoul_o_
force of 300,000 men in operation against Russia. With. re-
gard to the terms upon which peacesrhould be made,
he could give no pledge whatever. (Hear,

The Earl of DERBY expressed great satisfaction "4
the decided language of the Earl of CLARENDON.
The Earl of ABERDEEN remarked, that before the declare'
tion of war, it had never occurred to the Allies to provide I?",
Turkish conquests of Russian territory. Their object was
protect the territory and independence of Turjcey again'
Russian aggression. Consequently there might be sonle,
ambiguity in the documents referred to by Lord Lyndharo,
but he attached no importance to their ambiguity, now the
Austria was actively exerting herself on the side of France
and England. The conditions of peace must depend on the
results of the war; so soon as lie saw a prospect of a just and
honourable peace, be should recommend it; but in order to
obtain this object war would be prosecuted with vigottr•
After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT, the 30.06
dropped.
The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The other orders were disposed of.
The house adjourned at 8 5 p.m.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, RITE 19.
In reply to Mr. OTWAY,
Sir J. GRAHAM briefly explained some of the circurostaneen,,
attending the loss of the Europa, confirming the statement
that it had been found impossible to launch the largest WO
belonging to the vessel in the hurry and confusion.
Some questions were then put and replied to, after which,
Mr. STRUTT rose to explain the circumstances attending
his recent resignation of office, first declaring that many 0
the reports circulated on the subject were erroneous. After
describing the nature and duties of the office he lately held-'
the chancellorship of the duchy of Lancaster—he stated that
a few days prior to the late ministerial changes, he received
a letter from Lord John Russell, written on the part of the
head of the government, in consequence of which he had an
interview with the noble lord, who informed him that the.
government was in a position of some difficulty, and that
certain arrangements were required to be made which could
not be done except by the disposal of his office. He (MCI
Strutt) subsequently found that all the arrangements btu
been made already, and that lie therefore offered his uncork
tional resignation. He was loudly cheered while making UP
statement. . _

In reply to questions, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the
names of the two additional commissioners to be appointed
for the Oxford University Bill were the Earl of HarrowbY
and Mr. Cornwall Lewis ; also that the Police Bill would ndt
be proceeded with till next week.
The house then went into committee on the Oxford Univer'
city Bill.
Mr. PH INN moved the adoption of a clause, declaring that
after the passing of the act no action shall be commenced of
maintained in any court of law for the recovery of any debt,
contracted or incurred by any student under the age of 21
years. Considerable discussion followed.
Mr. HENLEY and Air. GLADSTONE opposed the clause,
which was ultimately withdrawn.
Mr. PHINN also proposed the other clause of which
he had given notice.

Mr. BLACKETT proposed a clause rendering it henceforth
unlawful to administer any oath on admission into any °lnce
or emolument in the university or colleges.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER thought the coast'
deration of these oaths ought to be left to the universityitself.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE thought this the best course that could
be adopted.
Mr. BLACKETT replied. _ . _

The house then divided—For the second reading of the
clause, 71 ; against it, 109 : majority against the clause, 38.
A clause proposed by Mr. J. Pm ILLIM ORE, for preventie6
undue precedence in passing any examination on account of
rank, was rejected by a majority of one.
Mr. BOY ER proposed several clauses for enforcing the studs
of civil law. _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recommended the
clauses to be withdrawn.

iMr. HENLEY and Mr.J.Plummons concurred in the silt'
gestion. .

After some discussion the clauses were withdrawn.
Mr. HEYWOOD moved the introduction of clauses giving
power to the student to choose his own branch of study the
the last year of his academical course, and also directing
commissioners to prepare accounts of the revenues of the
university.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that by the 4th,
clause the commissioner had power to call for accounts. li"
suggested the withdrawal of the clauses.
Mr. HEYWOOD briefly replied,
Clauses withdrawn, and the preamble agreed to with verb
amendments.

Mr. M. GIBBON complained of the proprietors of certni°
publications being compelled to make a false declarant)°,
stating them to be newspapers, for the purpose of sendia
them through the post free.
Mr. WILSON denied that any false declaration was in force'
Mr. BRIGHT contended that the law operated unecluall
and required alteration.
After some conversation the subject dropped, and the house
went into committee of supply.
Mr. SCHOLBFIELD moved the reduction of .€lOOOll the
vote of £165.000 for Convict Prisons and Lunatic Asyldn
urging similar reasons to those urged in the discussion 0
Roman Catholic Chaplains last week.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion.
Mr. MACARTNEY and Colonel GREVILLR Complain
• ed thst
Ireland was unjustly treated in this estimate.
Mr. T. CHAMBERS supported the motion.
Sir J. YOUNG opposed it.
. _

After a lengthened debate, in the course of which,
Lord PALMERSTDN, after expressing his astonishment at
the vote come to last week respecting Roman Catholic chnP;
lains, said that to agree to the motion proposed would Tao
exceed it in injustice. He trusted that the house would 00
sanction the principle involved in the motion.
After some observations from Mr. LucAs and Mr. HO-
FIELD'
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT condemned the vote on Rout
Catholic chaplains. There was, however, no reason why
injustice should be extended, and he trusted that the motion
would be rejected.
After some further discussion, the house divided on Mr'
Scholefield's motion for reducing the vote 'to .entio• for the
chaplains.—Ayes, 23 ; Noes, 246—Majority against the mo-
tion, 223
A discussion on the remaining estimates was Yon' eeded
with, and many items agreed to.
The chairman reported progress, and the house resumed.
