GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. TKE whole of-the property and effects of Sir J. D. Paul is to be brought to the hammer on the 23rd of the present month. GOVERNMENT has resolved on forming an encampment at Stirling for four or five regiments of militia. Dundee Advertiser. Ix accordance with a new arrangement, a messenger is to leave London for the seat of war every Saturday instead of Friday.. Tuz SUNDAY 'BEER BILL.—The Select Committee on the Sunday Beer Bill •met on Tuesday, when ,several London magistrates were examined, all of whom objected to the bill in its present shape, and advised important alterations. Teas ease of Strahan, Paul, and Bates was again heard at Bow-street Police-offiee, on Wednesday, when the prisoners were further remanded for another week. Application for bail was made, but refused. DECIMAL COlNAGE.—Government, says the Times, are stated to have resolved upon appointing a commission to in- quire into the subject of decimal coinage, to be,ccmposed of Lord Monteagle, hfr. -Hubbard, and Mr. Norman. Mr. RIISSE'LL -GURNEY and Mr. O'Malley have given their opinion that under the act 52 Geo. 111. cap. 166, =embers of the Church of England, as well as dissenters, may protect themselves from penalties by registering their housos as places of religious worship, in compliance with the terms of -the act. MRS. ISABELLA SPRAINGER, wife of Mr. M. Sprainger, of Ramsey, Isle of Man, and who had been residing for some time past with her sister at Laxey, committed suicide, on Monday last, by suspending herself from a beam in the bed- room. EDIT TUE STAFFORDSHIRE SESSIONS, last week, a man and woman were charged with stealing £7O from a horse dealer at a fair at Leek. The man, who was acquitted, had been in gaol sixteen times within ten years ; and the woman, who was sentenced to fourteen years' penal servitude, had been in prison eight times. A COLLISION occurred on Tuesday evening, near the Rose- grave station of the East Lancashire Railway, and a short distance from Burnley, occasioned by a passenger train from Accrington to Colne running into a goods train. The van of the luggage train and a waggon, loaded with iron, were smashed to pieces, but no serious personal injury was sustained. FATAL QUARREL IN AN AaIEBICAN SHIP AT BALACLAVA. —From a letter received from Balaclava, on the 26th ult., we learn that a tragedy, attended with fatal results, occurred on board the American ship Arlington. One of the men, in an altercation with the mate, struck him, when the latter armed himself: ith a pistol, and discharged its contents into the chest of the unfortunate man. This wanton abuse of power occurred at an anchorage where there were upwards of fifty sail to render assistance in case of mutiny. FEARFUL THUNDERSTORM.—On Tuesday afternoon Not- tingham and the immediate neighbourhood were visited by a terrible thunderstorm, which lasted for nearly three hours, raging during that time with remarkable violence. The rain fell in torrents, accompanied by hailstones of a very large size. The storm commenced about three o'clock, and con- tinued, with very little intermission, until six. In Bilbie- street, and in other parts of the town walls were washed down, and considerable damage done. A great amount of damage has been sustained in the fields contiguous to the river Trent, by the loss of stock, &c. There has not been so great a fall of rain for some time past. ORDER OF AFFILIATION ON A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST. —The County Justices in Quarter Sessions were on Wednes- day occupied at Durham in hearing an appeal made by the Rev. Richard Singleton, a Roman Catholic priest, against an order made against him by the borough magistrates of that town for the support of an illegitimate child. The mother is Miss Beatrice Jane Jones, the daughter of a Church of Eng. land clergyman residing at Douglas, Isle of Man. Various proceedings have taken place in the case, but the result of the investigation on Wednesday was that the county magistrates confirmed the previous order, directing Mr. Singleton to pay 2s. ed. per week during 13 years for the maintenance of the child. A STATEMENT has been issued by Mr. James Low, from which it appears that the shipments of specie from England to India, China, Egypt, and Malta for the half year just ended have been £2,614,006, of which, £396,847 consisted of gold, and £2,117,169 of silver. As compared with the cor- responding half of 1864, this shows an increase of £140,992, although the total export was then unusually large. The proportion of gold, however, is smaller in the present return. The sum inclUded in the aggregate total as having been sent to China this half year is £833,466, of which all but £140,524 was silver. In the first six months of 1864 the total sent to China was £1,289,548. The recent augmentation in the ship- ments to the East, has, therefore, been caused exclusively by the Indian demand. NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BRITISH COLONIES AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES.—The following notice has been issued from the General Post-office :—" Many newspapers for British colonies and foreign countries having been posted unpaid,. contrary to the Printed Instructions, No. 45,1855, recently issued upon the subject, the Postmaster-General thinks it necessary to repeat the intimation that a postage (the amount of which can be ascertained by an inspection of the notice No. 45, at any post-office) is now required to be pre-paid, in addition to the newspaper stamp, upon all newspapers sent to the British Colonies, and upon those sent to all foreign countries except the following, namely,—France or Algeria, Belgium Prussia rid Belgium, and any foreign country (except Turkey) rid Belgium and Prussia, New Granada, Peru. Any newspapers which may be posted without the requisite pre-payment, can- not be forwarded to their destination," ,OL STANDARD. PINNOCIC, who murdered the old man at Rothwell, last week, has been tried and convicted at Northampton, and sen- tenced to death. ONE hundred and two walking sticks were last week sold, among the miscellaneous effects or a gentleman, recently de- ceased, at Lancaster. GRAIN TRADE IN THE DANUBE.—Letters from Constanti- nople to the 28th of June report the arrival there, during the preceding five days, from Brailow and Galatz of as many as 91 cargoes of grain, and the departure for those and other Danubian ports, to load similar cargoes, of 'no less than 53 other vessels. !V EVESHAM ELECTION: AUNIVERSAL REPRESENTATIVE.— The nomination took place on Wednesday at the Town-hall ; Mr. Holland was the only candidate, the two others having previouslyretired. Mr. Holland was declared duly elected. In returning .thanks he said he was for a vigorous prosecution of the war, and not only of the war, but of everything right and just, whether at home or abroad. He was not a member for any particular class of politicians, but for every class, for every elector, and every non-elector, DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Two young ladies, the daugh- ters of J. H. Rees, Esq., of Carmarthen, were bathing, on Saturday, on the shore, near their father's house, when, having ventured too far, they sank in a pool about ten feet in depth. Their governess, who was with them, rushed to their rescue, and, failing to save, died with them. Mr. Rees was hastily summoned from a meeting which he was attending at the church, and on coining out, the first objects which met his gaze were the lifelessbodies of his children and governess, which were being borne along to his house. REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY'.—We understand that a movement is now being made, with the view of gettieg up a requisition, calling on Lord John Russell and Baron Rothschild to resign their seats for the city. The, ground on which Lord John is to be called on to resign is, that he grossly misrepre- sents the sentiments of his constituents on the question of the war ; while the reason which is to be urged for the resignation of the Baron, is, that he does not represent them at. all. There is, we are assured, a large and influential party ,in the city, who are determined that it shall be hereafter efficiently represented in the House of Commons.—Advertiser. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF THE CREW OF A STEAIiTUG AT SHIELDS.—The Welsh, a tug steamer belonging to Sun- derland, brought a foreign schooner into Shields from sea on Tuesday, and after seeing her moored, the master of the steamer went on board the schooner to get his towage. He had not been on board the schooner above a minute, and the other two men belonging to her were standing forward in the steamer, when her boiler exploded with fearful violence. In an instant it blew everything in the cabin to pieces, and forced out the stern and after deck. The boat immediately sank, but, strange to say, the two men were rescued without having sustained the least injury. The steamer has since been raised, and it is found that her engine is all twisted and de- stroyed.__ THOSE who have implicit faith in the universal " honour of the English Tradesman," and a fortiori of " the British Banker," may be surprised to hear a story which is current in 'commercial circles, and is as well authenticated as it is gene- rally believed. A highly-respected London banker, on his death-bed, called his.children round him, and asked them if they believed in his reputed wealth ? They answered that they shared the general opinion as to his large fortune, and he then surprised them by the assurance that he had been insolvent for the last thirty years. He, however, entreated them not to be depressed by the intelligence; but recom- mended them to go to Doctor's Commons immediately after his decease and swear his property under half a million. The advice was taken. The customers of the house were agreeably edified on hearing of the enormous wealth of the late partner, and the bank was firmer than ever, in the opinion of those who trusted their money to its keeping. THE STOLEN £5OO -NOTE.—A communication has been received from one of the jury who were supposed to.have given a verdict for the plaintiff in the Court of Common Pleas, at Guildhall, on Tuesday last, in an action brought on behalf of M. St. Paul, a moneychanger in Paris, against the- Bank -of England, to recover a £5OO bank note, forming one of those stolen from Messrs. Brown; Shipley, and Co., to the effect that the jury-.did not intend to express, and had by no means arrived at a conclusion favourable to the right of the plaintiff. The feelingof a large portion of them, at least, is stated to have been that M. St. Paul, having received notice of the robbery, and liming wilfully disregarded it, or, at all events, having adopted no steps to give effect to it, could not be considered to have-taken the-note-hostel fide. The question is one of so much moment as to make it important that the law should not be settled on a misunderstanding of the intention of the jury, and 'hence it is deemed -essential that their views Should be ascertained on the point more clearly than appears to have been possible in the hurried manner in which their verdict was taken.— Timer. POLICY OF PnrssrA.—According to the Berlin correspond- ent of the Times, the opinion prevalent in that capital is "that the Prussian Royal Family and the Court are bound hand and foot, and sold body and soul to Russia." He adds : " The before-mentioned view is based on the fact of a Prussian Princess being the consort of the Emperor of Russia who was reigning at the time of this conflict being brought about by him, on the very strong presumption of there being a power- ful party at Court here imbued with Russian sympathies, and the patent factthat Prussia has not openly and actively joined ua in the struggle against Russia. The three facts are cor- rect, but the_imputed cause of Prussia's policy is incorrect; there are so many perfectly valid reasons, military, financial, political, and economical, to withhold Prussia from taking a forward part in the war, however convinced King, Ministers, and people may be of the necessity of profiting.by the present opportunity of •asserting the independence of the country; that we have no need to suppose feelings of brotherly affection on the part of the King, or political sympathies for Russia on the part of certain members of the Court, to have been more than subordinate accessories in determining the course that Prussia "has hitherto:taken." ANECDOTE or THE QUEEN.—A few days ago, in the beautiful little cemetery of Rose Bank, our attention was directed to a handsome monument of Aberdeen granite, having the following inscription in letters of geld:—" Sacred to tno memory of Miss Ida Deno.uorai, tine foltlAful esteemed dresser of Queen Victoria, who departed this life October 15, 1804, in the thirty-seventh year, of her age, be- loved and respected by all who knew her. This stone has been placed' by Queen Victoria as a mark of her regard." On inquiry we found that one day, whether in the autumn of 1.-864 or at a former period we were not told, when Miss Be- nanomi was accompanying Queen Victoria in her morning walk on Arthur's Seat, she called her Majesty's attention to the beautiful cemetery in the distant valley, and expressed a wish that when she died she might be buried there. Last year, when her Majesty was going north, Miss Benanomi, who, as usual, was attending her royal mistress, became in- disposed in Holyrood Palace, and was unable to proceed fur- ther. By order of Her Majesty, Miss Benanomi was attended by an eminent physician, but she never recovered, and died in Holyrood Palace. Her Majesty was deeply affected by the death, and, remembering the wish of Miss Benanomi, ordered the remains to be buried in Rose Bank Cemetery, and the monument with the inscription quoted to be erected to her Memory.—Caledonian Mercury.—[Rose Bank Cemetery is in a suburb immediately to the south of Edinburgh.] A REMARKABLE MAN.—This city is now the home of one of the most remarkable men of the age—a man who has tra- versed the civilized globe, and established in almost every country which he has visited the sale of his medicines for the relief of human suffering, and which are a certain cure for disease in all its forms. We allude to Professor Thomas Holloway, of London. It is now several years since this benefactor of the human race first proclaimed to the world, through the British press, that he had, after deep research, pre- pared a remedy that was sure to eradicate disease. Years of patient investigation into the laws of human physiology which control our bodies in health and when diseased, led to the in- vention and preparation of the world-renowned Holloway's Pills and Ointment. Nearly, if not quite, one half of the haman race have taken his medicines ! His name is as uni- versally known over the globe as that of Alexander, Napoleon, or Washington, when in the height of their ambitious career. If they conquered nations on the field of battle, Professor Holloway has, with no weapon but that of science, conquered disease in all its forms. His meritorious career is bounded by no imaginary lines of latitude and longitude short of those marking the confines of civilization itself. No isolated country or nation was sufficiently extensive for the operation of his enterprising and gigantic intellect. Wherever disease has a residence, there he has penetrated with his medicines, and left an enviable and enduring reputation. After enlightening Europe, his fame spread over Asia, and the civilized portions of Africa, and finally appeared in America. He has translated the cures he has performed, and the virtues of his medicines, into as many languages as the missionaries have the Bible. GOvernments, otherwise the most despotic, have been forced by the great value of his medicines, and their popularity with the people, to remove antiquated and time-honored restrictions upon the introduction of foreign medicines, and open their custom houses to a free introduction to the Pills and Oint- ment, of this distuingished man. Empires and kingdoms removed the barriers of ages against the introduction and sale of proprietary or patent medicines, and freely permitted Hollo- way's medicines to become the physician of the masses.—New York Dispatch. TRIAL ROR MOBBING AND RIOTING.—At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday last, four young men were placed at the bar charged with mobbing and rioting, and with assault and injury to property, at Greenock, on the of April last, on which occasion a large mob assembled in front of the Roman Catholic Chapel there, beat in the doors with a large beam. broke the windows with Avn., anti couunlited other damage to the chapel, as well as to the school and the adjoin- ing dwelling-houses of the priest and teacher. In sum- ming up the evidence, the Lord Justice-General laid down the law as to participating in or giving countenance to riotous acts. He said,—" All those who were in- the mob and who took an active part in it were guilty of the whole proceedings of that mob generally. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of mobbing and rioting against the prisoners, but not of participating in the acts of assault and injury libelled, The Lord Justice-General, after stating that the Court were disposed, from extenuating circumstances in each case, to treat the prisoners with leniency, said,—" You must not suppose that you are punished because of the particular object you had in view, as being connected with any following out of the religious opinions which you yourselves entertain in opposition to those of the persons whose property was to be sacrificed by these proceedings. It is not because you entertain particular opinions, or because with zeal, that we are going to ris it because of any yproounmonanincetaian sentence opuipnoinyoin it particular favour to the religious opinions of those whose property has been assailed. In this country all parties, all subjects of the Queen, all who are residing within the range of the laws, are amenable to the laws, and entitled to the protection which they afford. We know no distinction of religious parties in any question of this kind. In this country all persons are entitled not only to enter- tain what religious opinions they please, but to profess those opinions, and to worship according to their own faith, whatever it may be. Be they Jews or Gentiles, Pagans or Christians, Papists or Protestants, Episcopalians or Presbyterians, it is all the same. The law says that they have a right to worship after their own fashion, and that law will protect them in the exercise of this right. Therefore you must 'not suppose, and no persons must suppose, that we enter into the religious question here ; but while we hear rumours of persecutions for religious opinions in other countries, and are inclined to sympathize with the sufferers, and to feel indigna- tion at the conduct of the oppressors, it would be very wrong indeed if in this country which boasts of being a land of liberty, where persons are entitled to freedom of conscience without any restraint, except that which conscience itself imposes, any proceeding which involves violence against parties on account of their religious opinions should be permitted to go unpunished. While the law permits them to have liberty, those who administer the law must take care that that liberty is pre- served to them, and not abused by the strong. It is because you have violated that law, and for no other reason, that we now pronoun& sentence of imprisonment upon you." His Lordship then sentenced three of the rioters to six, and one to , three months' imprisonment, MR. BERKELEY has been returned for Cheltenham by a majority of 682 over Mr. Ridler. ON Friday evening a lomotive engine, employed on the North London • Railway, exploded; but though it destroyed some property, no persons were injured. THE COLONIAL SECRETARYSHIP.—Tnn Advertiser says Sir William Molesworth and Sir George Grey are spoken of for the colonial vacancy. The Herald says Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir Wm. Molesworth, and Lord Harrowby are mentioned. THE QUEEN, accompanied by Prince Albert, the King of tha Belgians, the Count de Flanders, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, attended by their suite, left Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, for Osborne. DURING a debate in the House of Lords last week, no little sensation was caused by the entry into the house of Sir- Au- gustus Clifford, bearing on his arm the celebrated Miss O'Neill, now Lady Wrixon Becher. • THE Advertiser states that a meeting of Conservative members of the House of Commons took place on Saturday, at Mr Disraeli's. The attendance was very numerous, and never was the feeling of the party more cordial and unani- mous as to the course to be pursued by it. THE SPECIE' arrivals during theweek have been moderate, and do not amount to £185,000. The exports of which we have any notification are little more than £60,000, but the shipments to the Continent by the bullion merchants have been considerable. ON Tuesday morning the corning-house at Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's Clyde Gunpowder Mills, Glenlean,' about five miles from Dunoon, blew up with a fearful explosion, by which casualty the lives of not fewer than four men have been lost. COLONEL FLEURY, the colonel of the French Guides, has married Mad'lle Calais St. Paul, a daughter of a rich homme d'affaires of Paris. On this occasion the Emperor made the colonel the munificent present of 500,000 franks from his private purse, and also settled a pension of 12,000 franks a-year, to make things pleasant, to a lady who went down on her knees to supplicate his Majesty to prevent the marriage. MILITARY DISTURBANCE.—The town of Chatham, on Thursday evening, exhibited a scene of military riot, between the marines and sailors against the 27th regiment. Several of the soldiers were wounded in the affray, and one man was so severely injured that he was taken to the hospital, having received three bayonet wounds. ___ SCA.ELATINA. IN THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD AT OSBORNE.— Their Royal Highnesses Princess Louisa and Prince Arthur have been attacked with scarlatina. Their Royal Highnesses are going on very favourably. The same disease has declared itself in his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, who was left at Buckingham Palace in consequence of a slight accident. THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES.—The work for the next Presidental election has seriously commenced. The political events have sharply defined the three great par- ties of the campaign, and the champion of each for the suc- cession. These three parties are—the American party, the Seward anti-slavery coalition party, and the Democratic party ; and the candidate of each, as broadly foreshadowed by these late events, is, of the American party, George Law, of New York; of the Seward coalition party, W. H. Seward, of New York; of the Democratic party, Henry A. Wise, of Virginia. THE GRIND STAND AT. AINTREE RACE-COURSE - was, during the late meeting, entrusted to the care of Mr. Morrish, of the Merchants' Dining Roams, Lancaster-buildings, Tithe- barn-street. The care and judicious attention bestowed on the cuisine and the cellar were such as called forth the warmest encomiums from the numerous visitors ; while the orderly and ready service bestowed on the guests reflected the highest credit on the skill and assiduity of Mr. Morrish as a caterer for even the most refined tastes. Every delicacy was to be 'et with in ready profusion, and the more substantial elements of good cheer were served with equal alacrity and abundance. The wines and liquors of all kinds were excellent, and met general approval. THE DANUBE.-A letter from Bucharest of the 3d, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The Ottoman troops are still advancing into the Dobrudscha. From 1,200 to 1,500 Turks from Silistria have passed the Danube in boats, and landed at Kalarasch. Although the Turkish corps now in the -Dobrudscha are sufficiently provided .with bridge equipage, and is supported by a flotilla, and, although the coast of Bes- sarabia is only defended by about 10,000 Russians, yet it is not expected that the Muchir Ismail Pasha has any present intention of attacking the Russians. He appears inclined to wait for the fall of Sebastopol, in which case he would doubt- less be supported by some allied troops. The greatest com- mercial activity prevails on the Lower Danube. It is calculated that, since the opening of the navigation, more than 500 vessels, of which 200 were Austrian, have taken on board cargoes at Ibrail and at Galatz." . _ flit LATE CAPTAIN Lroxs.—The enclosed extract from a letter from one of the officers of the Miranda may be interest- ing to our readers:—" Tlaerapia, June 25.—Our brave Captain is no more. His wound was mortal, and he died on Saturday night. C— was with him the whole time, and S--=-= says his death was worthy of his life. He forgot nothing, sending messages to each of us individually, and arranging for the smallest trifles. He said to C--, ' I die '.s a captain of a man-of-war ought to die.' The navy has lost its greatest ornament ; and we have lost one who, to us, was more than a friend. He was so brave, so great,' so good,'and so amiable, that we all loved him much snore than we knew. We buried him on Monday evening, the 26th of June, with all naval honours. Crowds of people of high rank attended Isis funeral. The head of our figurehead, Miranda, was shot away almost at the same moment. that our dear captain received his death wound. FIRE AT ILITECIERFORD-MARKET.—On Sunday evening considerable alarm was caused in the vicinity of Hungerford- market, London, in consequence of a fire breaking out on the wharf of the market, occasioned by some boys accidentally emptying their pipes on a waggon laden with straw. On the sudden outbrezk messengers were despatched for the Chandos- street, Watling-street, West of England, and various other engines, which promptly arrived, and speedily got to work, with a good supply of water from the mains of the New River. The wind blowing strongly, the flames spread with amazing rapidity, and five carts and one waggon belonging to Mr. Mil- igan, hay and strawdealer opposite the booking-office, on the wharf, as well .e Mr. T. kiendersua'3 cavts; speedily ignited. The firemen worked most strenuously, and by dint of great perseverance the flames were subdued, but not until the straw and carts were nearly destroyed. LORD Jorm Rus-sr.r.L.—Lord John Russell is no longer a member of the Administration. In consequence of repre- sentations from some of the members of the Government in the House of Commons as to the difficulty under which they laboured with regard to the motion of Sir E. B. Lytton, his lordship came to the resolution of removing their embarrass- ment by retiring from the Ministry. Accordingly, at his re- quest, Lord Palmerston yesterday acquainted the Queen with the resolution to which Lord John had come, and her Majesty was pleased to accept his resignation. No successor to Lord John Russell as Secretary of State for the Colonies has been appointed, but it is not improbable that one will be desig- nated for her Majesty's approval at the Cabinet Council to be held this afternoon. We cannot, of course, speak with cer- tainty upon the subject, but we believe it is not unlikely that the new Colonial Secretary will be taken from amongst the present members of the Cabinet, and we apprehend that his fitness for the post will be at once recognized by the country and the colonies.—Globe, of Saturday. THUNDERSTORM ON SATURDAY.—ShortIy after 6 o'clock on Saturday morning, the metropolis was visited by a violent thunderstorm, which continued for nearly an hour. The lightning was of a vivid character. The rain fell in torrents, and many of the small streets at the east end of London were flooded for several hours. The market gardeners' grounds were also inundated, and considerable damage was done by the great fall of rain. At Bristol the storm took place an hour or two previously. It commenced about half-past three o'clock, and exceeded in violence anything of the kind that has occurred in that city for the last 30 years. The thunder was very violent, and the lightning so vivid that the Captains of African and Indian ships in the port describe it as being the nearest approach to a tropical tornado that they ever witnessed in this country. Considerable damage was done by the hail, which beat the wheat down in all the surrounding country, and broke thousands of panes of glass; and at St. George's,Gloucestershire,the electric fluid struck a house near the Don John's-cross, destroyed the chimneys, and split the house from the roof to the basement story. SUNDAY DISTITEBANCES IN LONDON. HYDE-RAIZ/K.— The Sunday demonstrations in this park are unmistakably dying out, and in another week or two there will be no trace left of the commotion. On Sunday the number of people assembled showed a decided falling off, and the more respectable classes held themselves carefully apart from the crowds of urchins and thieves who had collected. Of course, they did all in their power to get up a disturbance, rushing hither and thither, making as much noise as possible, and scurrying away as soon as they came in collision with the police. Beyond a con- siderable amount of pocket-picking very little mischief was done, and the number of offenders taken into custody tended powerfully to check the disposition to riot. The police did not show in the park itself, but at the different outlets and in the neighbourhood they were mustered- in ample force, while a mounted patrol kept up with the quick movements of the mob, and prevented any serious injury to property being at- tempted. No carriages appeared in the drive, so that no fa- cilities existed for getting up a disturbance, and we may fairly hope that next Sunday afternoon the park will present its usual peaceable aspect. Two attempts were made by the rabble to penetrate into Belgravia from Albert-gate, but both were promptly repulsed by the police, and the ringleaders ar- rested. STATE OP THE MORMON COMMUNITY.—The Cambridge 0h.•.,,,;,1. Rives a letter from Salt Lake City by a woman who bad embraced tile ‘l.lmign. and left that neiolbour- hood. The expose speaks for itseir and Mormonism in the old country are two entirely distinct systems. You know not whom to trust; in fact, you are sus- picious of everybody, and everybody suspects you. Human life is of no value here ; cutting throats is as carelessly talked of from the stand as clipping your finger-nails ; indeed, if they consider you becoming at all disaffected to their principles, it is considered doing you a kindness to kill you, that your soul may be saved. It is heresy to think of leaving the, society ; and should any make the attempt, every obstacle is thrown in their way. Scandal and lies the people fatten on. I would defy the smallest village in the world to propagate the same with more avidity than this people. A woman's character is taken away by the slightest breadth ; you are at everybody's mercy, no matter how low, mean, or contemptible the party may be ; and woe to you should your husband be on a mission! They set husband' against wife : try to get the husband into 'plurality; and women's hearts are as ruthlessly broken as a piece of straw by bending. Divorces can be readily obtained, for from five to terrdollars ; and there exists not, I verily be- lieve, as I believe in a God, a more miserable, broken-hearted, canwor work Utah. There is no employment by which a delicate woman ts hi cokseenwe dh,o spd irraigt eosus outset omf s eornai be nl onoo xtihs teofnaccee o inf ttlikei s earthv e r ttohbalne supportinthe lherself,ots aod though gardens, all plant,are expectedsozii elp tot shear as ro ; sheep,they unload hay, chop wood, make shoes, tailor, make soap, candles, molasses, feed pigs, milk cows, raise cakes, hoe potatoes, cut corn, irrigate the land, raise babies (one in twenty-seven months is the allotted time), besides attending to the no less essential points in a house, viz., washing, scrubbing, and cook- ing; the latter item is by no means an unimportant one in a Yankee household, as Yankee Doodle must have tea three times a day, and hot bread at each meal. The United States sent out a detachment of men in the fall, ostensibly en route to California, but really to investigate the many crying atroci- ties in this horrible place. There has been a slight intermix- ture with the officers and our people in society; but I think Brigham was afraid of their influence, and at once, without any preliminiaries, they were denounced from the stand in the most bitter terms ; and so general was the insult that the commanding officers ordered the United States flag to be taken down. Happy as 'I should be to save others from the degrada- tion and misery of this evil place, I dare not have my name known, or my head would pay the forfeit ; and they would think they were doing God and me service. Although I have lost all desire for life, I should dread falling into their hands; for verily the tortures of the Inquisition were nothing to those they inflict here, and in the end I should be consigned to a horrible decapitation."

THE LI VERPOOL STANDARD. 'l7-TE k)JJ4, _k• TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1855 STREET PREACHING. --41.--- ONE of the special characteristics of the Christian mission was stated, b 3 its Divine Fou—nder, 'to The, that the Gospel was preached to the poor; and, that she was the " Church of .the Poor," was once one of the chief glories of the Church of England. This character she earned by providing, through the bounty of her richer children, that in every parish in the land the Gospel machinery should be brought home to each man's door, and that its ministry to him should not depend on his ability to pay for it. That the sacred labourer is worthy of his hire, is certainly a Christian principle ; but' not that his labours should be placed on a level with secular employments, and the pecuniary support of the labourer calculated as a quid pro quo for the value of his services. It is impossible to travel through the parishes of England, without perceiving how strictly, •in theory, the Church has acted upon this principle ; it is impos- sible to examine the lavish profuseness of her noble ecclesiastical foundations, without thankfully acknow- ledging how well she has fulfilled her Lord's mission in this particular. The darker side of the picture, however, remains for us, and for days of " peculiar Gospel enlightenment." It is equally impossible to see the parish churches, in their present desolation, or to walk through the districts of our towns, without being compelled to admit that the Church of England no longer in fact possesses this high character. With regard to many of her finest parish churches, given to the poor by the pious liberality of our ances- tors, they have been taken from them, and placed at the disposal of the richer classes, by the erection of pews, guarded by doors and numbered as part of a rented property, belonging, for all uses, to the -person - rents them. In numberless cases, where the most liberal endowments have beep made for the frequent performance of divine ser- vice, and the maintenance of a sufficient body of clergy, these endowments have been stolen for the benefit of a lay impropriator, and barely enough left for the support of a single minister, the assistance of one of our charitable societies being necessary to maintain a second. But these, we may say, were the crimes of an earlier generation. Let us ask, what we are doing to extend the blessings of the unpurchased Gospel through the unprovided districts of our towns ? Kai, whatever we have done, or whatever we are doing, this is confessed on all sides, that the Church has not yet regained her hold upon the poor. Churches are rising around us, but they are not built for the poor. Eloquent proclamations of the Gospel ring in our ears on all sides, but the rich purchase them for themselves. Each man pays for his religion as for any other luxury, or, if you will, necessity, of his life., A preacher is " liked ;" a Church is built for him that is, a permanent investment is made for his mainte- nance ; his admirers appropriate its sittings, and they think their homage to religion has been paid. They rush in crowds to hang upon his accents, and think they must be very earnest followers of the Gospel. They listen, perhaps, to his denunciations of a corrupt religion, and flatter themselves that they are cham- pions for the purity of Christianity. They feed, or, think they feed, from a plenteous table, and the pri- vilege of the poor is, that, perchance, they may gather up some of the crumbs which fall from the entertain- ment of their betters. It is clear that popular reli- gion has not yet found out the way of carrying the Gospel in its integrity to the poor. " The poor will not come to Church!" Granted. But this is a strange complaint from you who do not build churches for the poor. This is a grave inconsis- tency in your mouths who absolutely refuse to have churches built for the poor. This is but a vain lip lamentation from you who interfere with the inten- tions of earnest men with your miserable disputes and factious accusations, while the poor perish around you, and who yourselves do not take up the work which you prevent others from doing, because you disagree with them on some point of doctrine or peculiarity of form. But we may yet find opportunity to expound our idea of the causes of this fact which stares us in the face, viz., that the Church has lost her hold upon the poor ; and also of the remedies which the case demands. At present we are pressed with one mode of remedy which has regained of late the prominence it had lost, and which has occupied much local attention during the last few days. We took occasion, some time since, to allude to the advisability, in the " present distress," of street preach- ing, conducted with caution and judgment. And the philosophy, if we may so employ the term, of street preaching, we appirhend to be this : that it should be used only as a preparation to the direct agency of the Church. We must not have Christianity expounded at the corners of our streets and in the market place as a mere school of ethics, or system of doctrines which each man may adequately realise, and then be left to himself. Street preaching is a mere endeavour to startle into inquiry the careless and profligate, to argue from their experience of some mysterious power of evil which tyrannises over their inner man, and crushes every better aspiration to the need in which they stand of a deliverance, to the importance of the fact that a Deliverer has come upon earth, and that if they are willing they may be brought within the scope of that " Mighty power whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself." If the example of the Apostles be adduced for street preach- ing, from the naked fact that they did preach in the highways and thoroughfares, it must be followed to s issue. With them Christianity was not merely the hearing and believing of certain doctrines, but the induction into a community ; and of those who ac- cepted their teaching it was recorded that the LORD added them to the Church, and that they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers. v.,,aching, therefore, must not be adopted as a building churches, and setting up the substitute full machinery of the Gospel. It must be used as a mere check to the everyday course of blind wicked- ness travelled by the besotted thousands who are perishing for lack of knowledge. It is not the remedy for their ills, but it is to inform them of their need of a remedy, and to induce them to turn aside from the way of their wickedness to the messenger whom CHRIST has commissioned on earth to lead their foot- steps to the cross. It was with this idea that, in our previous remarks on the agency of street preaching, we recommended this mode of its employment, namely, that a district should be marked out and appropriated to a particular pastor with his assistants ; and that these clergy should undertake the public invitation of the people committed to their charge—that, having built up a living Church, a school-room or temporary building having been used in the meanwhile, a material temple of the Lord should rise in their midst; built for them, perhaps partially built by them, made theirs, that they might hereafter enjoy the blessings which they had learnt amid many difficulties to feel their want of and to appreciate. without, therefore, arguing it on the ground of ecclesiastical order,---which, if there be such a thing as order, must be at once decisive against one pastor's preaching in the parish of another without that other's consent,---it will be at once apparent what view we take of the scheme set on foot by the Rev. Dr. 111`1•Inux, of preaching on the Exchange Flags. If the object of street preaching be what we have supposed, that must be a very inadequate mode of conducting it, by which it is turned into a mere advertised attrac. tion for novelty-hunters and personal admirers. To select a respectable area in the middle of the counting- houses, and business resorts of the merchants and middle classes, and invite those who may choose for some motive or other to come, is not carrying the Gospel to the hovels of the poor. This is not going 'out into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring- ing in the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and blind ; it is not going. into_ the highwap and hedges, and compelling them to come in. Dr. 31`NEILE may say that, without wishing his plan to be followed in every respect, his intention is merely to make the Practice of open-air preaching respectable for his less known brethren. But is the example of so pleasant a mode of its performance likely to incite them to the endurance of its harsher and heavier inflictions ? Will they be induced ; by this display with a flourish of trumpets, and a flattering audience drawn from all parts of the town, to plod on in unknown paths, where no admiring eye can cheer, where notoriety cannot tickle vanity, and excitement carries with it no charm ? No. They will strive to escape the disa- greeables of their duty ; and their work will fail through a disregard of that great law alike of morals and of religion, that no permanent good is ever done in this world but through self-denial and suffering. Really, if the Rev. Doctor wishes to set an effective example, he will in future confine himself to his own district ; and, giving him credit for the best intentions, we do not think it necessary to say more at present on the subject. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. MONDAY MORNING, TITB past has been a busy and a bustling week in all those places "where politicians most do congregate." The Clubs have exhibited an amount of commotion akin to that which apiarists inform us takes place in a bee-hive, when the ento- mological republic, having become too hot to hold its members, is involved in the anarchy of a revolutionary movement which ends only with thedeath or extrusion of one of the contending h-oits. The House of Commons has been convulsed in all its points, the galleries and division lobbies sharing in the agita- tion ; nay more, the Council Chamber itself has once more been the scene of those amiable contentions which some months ago were of such frequent occurrence ; and which were intimated to the outer world by the mysterious announce- ment that " Ministers remained in close deliberation for up- wards of three hours." A declaration which those pretending to be in the secret interpreted into a confession that Ministers have been in hot and violent altercation for the time specified, and that in most cases it conveyed to the Ministerial hangers-on intelligence of a similarly pleasing character to that communi- cated to an anxious ship's crew, when, during the night, they are assailed by the sudden and alarming cry of "breakers a-head." Every one felt assured of an impending crisis, from the ominous Parliamentary conclusion of the preceding week, which was wound up by the melancholy display of -Lord Join. RUSSELL in his frequently enacted character of the Double-dealer. Consequent on the discreditable disclosures made by his Lordship in the House on the evening of Friday se'nnight, and which, besides the condemnation of friends and foes in that august assembly, drew down upon his devoted head the unmitigated indignation of the country, Sir E. B. LYTTON gave notice on Tuesday night of a motion to the effect, "That the conduct of the Minister charged with the negotiations at Vienna, and his continuance in office as a responsible adviser of the Crown, have shaken the confidence which the country should place in those to whom the adminis- tration of public affairs is entrusted." The intimation of a motion-so pointedly in unison with popular feeling, yet withal so temperately expressed, and so extensively sympathised in by the House of Commons, as well as by their constituents, was the first thing which appears to have created alarm for the safety of their places in the ministerial mind. To gain time for a consideration of the defensible points of the position, was• the first object clutched at—to secure the uncertain support of waverers—and to enlist the Irish Brigade, or, as they delight to call themselves,the cohortof "fifty independent votes," was the next Move, and both of these "dodges" were played of with a skill and hardihood which could only have been ac- quired by extensive and frequent practice. The motion is to decide the important question whether the nation will tolerate the continuance in office of a minister who entertains, or at least professes a public and a private opinion, diametrically opposed to each other on so important a -point as the continu- ance of war, or the conclusion of peace; and by implication whether his colleagues, who were cognizant of these discre- pant views, and continued to act in concert with him, are not as bad and as untrustworthy as he is. Such a motion is a matter of no trivial moment. It broadly impugns the honour of one member, and touches nearly the reputation of all the cabinet ; and it is brought forward in no petulant spirit ; nor is it tabled by an, intriguer for place. A motion so pregnant with consequences is one which no ministry can lie under and retain any function of utility. So long as the accusations it implies are unrebutted, the moral influence of the Cabinet is annihilated ; and, under these circumstances, the course of action open to a man of spirit, or of a ministry which covetted power merely that it might serve the country, is to meet and if possible to disprove the accusations. To such a course of behaviour the PALMERSTON administration makes no pretence. Instead of offering facilities for bringing the question to im- mediate issue, the PREMIER treats the subject with his cus- tomary levity, and when asked if it would be convenient to take the discussion on this very important motion on Fri- day, the day usually set apart for questions of supply, he an- swered snappishly that Friday was set apart for discussing " The New Partnerships Bill" and the " Limited Liability Bill." Two topics peculiarly apposite to the ricketty condition of the Cabinet, without doubt, but still not of a sufficiently important nature to take preference of one which, by its moral influence, paralysed the whole functions of Government at a juncture of the national affairs when united counsels and com- bined energies are indispensable to the safety of the State. The unbecoming facetiousness of the noble PREMIER MS so pointedly rebuked by Mr. DISRAELI, that for once Lord PAL- MERSTON was checked " dead up," and with an assumed air of indifference he agreed to peril the existence of the Adminis- tration on the issue of the motion this evening. In the mean time, however, all the manoeuvres of party tactics had been pressed into the service of the impeached Ministry. Conces— sions had been made to a deputation of the "Brass Band," by, which it was hoped to secure their aid in the event of a close- contest. Other means also were not neglected, and rumours were industriously circulated by and among the Ministerial underlines to the effect that, like CURTIUS of old, Lord. Joan would plunge into the gulf which, unless propitiated by a sacrifice of that description, would assuredly swallow up the whole Cabinet. The magnanimity of the proposedsolf- immolation was praised in his lordship's hearing, amidst strong expressions of regret for the necessity of the sacrifice. Still his lordship made no sign. Other hints were thrown out as to the necessity of providing a Cabinet JONAH, who by-being thrown overboard might still the raging waters which threatened to engulf the ministerial barque. But still Lord Rum gave small show of understanding ; and he who was so sensitively prompt with his resignation on a recent occasion, which merely threatened to unship his colleagues, cosid not be made to budge when another set of colleagues would by his „c„es„,tion obtain a ulauxcU of rescue from impending ship. wreck. More desperate expedients were resorted to, expedients of so disreputable a kind as hardly to meet with. belief. In reference to the position in which he was placed, the Daily News says ;—" He was ready to stand the- brunt of the threatened assault and to abide the consequences. Not so the. men by whom he had been surrounded. Seared at the sound' of the rising storm of popular indignation), and solicitous only for the retention of power—men who six weeks ago were ready to acquiesce without hesitation in the proposal of com- promise with Russia suggested by Coant,Buox, have not been ashamed to join in forcing Lord JonN to tender his resignation to the head of the government. Through every rank and grade of the party, efforts have been made to further this design. The pride of the SECRETARY for the Cowsius having been stung into making the offer we have mentioned, resort was had to the respectable and high•spirited device of a round robin addressed to Lord PALMERSTON, urging him to accept the resignation. This document was actually hawked about the precincts and passages of the House of Commons during the sitting of the House, yesterday (Thursday), and while the two noble lords continued to occupy their usual seats, side by side, up= the-Treasury bench. We are unwilling to state how many names of men calling themselves Whigs are appended to it ; but, we believe, we may venture to say, that the rebukes which its authors encountered from the manly and independent members who refused to act a part fit only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard, served to convince them that their clumsy device is one too shameless even for the present House of Commons." The reader who cons over the above, and reflects on some of the recent moves of Lord Joint himself, will be involuntarily impelled to put the Whig party in the position of SITYLOCK, and make it, in the language of that worthy, exclaim to his lordship, " The villany you teach me I will execute ; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction," Whether they made so plain a declaration or not,. they seem to have acted on the maxim. They do- not, -however, appear to have perilled their case entirely on those means of accomplishing their purpose, strong and disreputable as those means were. The Times says `1 The members of the government in the House of Commons not included in the Cabinet, represented by Mr. BouvEnn, are reported to have informed him (Lord JOHN RUSSELL) that they were not prepared to vote against Sir BuLvrEc. LYTTON'S motion." The Times adds, " This removed all doubt as to the result of the impending division." It left poor Lord Josn no alternative but to " adjust his mantle ere he fell," with the best grace he might ; and he resigned. The preceding delineations of Whig perfidy and meanness are drawn by " liberal" 'artists, and. froin'their knowledge of the men, and also of the Jacts referredio, the_picture, however humiliating and repulsive, is entitled to belief. Of late Lord.Jourr RUSSELL has become somewhat noto- rious.for th,e nature, .the freedom, and the. peculiar fashion of his explanations. Another scene, it is to be hoped the last one' yet awaits him as an expository commentator on the sayings and doings of his quondam colleagues. The eloquent phil- fipple he delivered on the occasion of dismissing Lord PAL . MERSTON from the Foreign Secretaryship, which that noble- man held under his lordship, is too recent to have been for- gotten, or to require repetition; he may, however, and in all probability will, indulge in a few supplementary strokes just to complete the portrait, and as it were bring it down to the present day. His able performances in the portraiture of the Earl of ABERDEEN and the Duke of NEWCASTLE will scarcely require either repetition or retouching to render them crack specimens of delineative, if not very friendly, art ; but, when he comes to fill in the portraits of Mr. BOUVERIE and that honourable gentleman's coadjutors, something racy, as well as spirited, may be reasonably anticipated. His tour de force, however, will, in all likelihood, be reserved for finishing the high-minded devisers of the "round robin," or which the radical scribe of the Daily News represents most unfairly as " fit only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard." No human con- stitution, however, is equal to the tasks in this line to which his lordship subjects himself, and even the amateur vigour of voluntary performances of the kind referred to have a debilitating effect on the performer; and to this condition of humanity Lord Jonx RUSSELL forms no exception. This fact was made painfully manifest on Friday evening, when he essayed an answer to a question put by Mr. DISRAELI, on the preceding night, when Lord Jou was not in the House. It had been currently reported during the day that the answer would be given, and at six o'clock, when the sitting commenced, every thing gave indication of an ex- pected statement of importance. The body of the house was crowded by members; in the Peers' Gallery there was a con- siderable gathering of peers, including the Earl of ALBE- mARLE, Lord Wrifroan, and Lord CAMPBELL; and every eye was fixed on the spot occupied by the expected orator. After one disappointment, the audience were so far gratified by his Lordship addressing himself to the task in hand,—the expected explanation. The display was anything but a pleasing or exciting one. He was evidently out of spirits and out of humour. He spoke in a tone of voice indicative of ex- treme dejection, and so low as to be scarcely audible. His speech, which was but a brief one, produced but little' effect, and was heard very imperfectly. He reiterated his statement that he considered the Austrian proposals might at the time have been accepted with advantage. The statement fell upon listless and incredulous ears; and when he came to the aver- ment that he thought they could not now be adopted with propriety—and that consequently he was for a vigorous prosecution of the war, his declaration was received with contumelious laughter ; even his own friends of the old Whig party Smiling scornfully at the attempted double. That very pure tribe now affect to view what he thought and they ad- mitted to be strokes of profound cunning, as childish indica- tions of weakness and deceit which never imposed upon any one. They profess now to say that by his last false. move he has rudely destroyed all faith in his capacity as a states- man ; and what is more, that he has destroyed all confidence in his sincerity and truthfulness as a man—that lie has corn. mitted political suicide. So complete a political and moral prostration has seldom fallen to the lot of any individual who held a prominent place in the national eye. In the meantime, the result of Sir E. B. LYTTON'S, motion is anxiously canvassed in the political circles of all parties. On the part of the Government out-and-out supporters-, it is said that, by a skilful application of his carefully-studied tac- tics,—and now that he has got rid of Lord JOHN, as' a kind of " Old Man of the Sea," who rode upon and galled the neck of his administration,—LordPAlMEßSTON will defeat the mo- tion by a considerable majority. On the other hand, they maintain that, if hard run on a division, or even if beaten, he will not resign, but have recourse to a dissolution,- appealing to- the country on his determination to prosecute the. war with' vigour and alacrity. Many individuals, however, and the parties who have probable means of knowing, declare that the whole Government must go with Lord Jour RE'S-- SELL ; that the country is heartily-sick of one and all of them, and will admit of no compromise in getting rid of them. A few,-who profess to know exactly how the matter rests; will have it that the Conservative party have the game entirely' in their own hands. These individuals maintain that an. influ- ential deputation of the Conservative party left Lonibm im- mediately on its being known that the PALMERSTON Cabinet had, resolved to eject Lord Jourr, and that that deputation proceeded directly to Knowsley, to consult with the Earl of DERBY; who received them most kindly and entered =into their views with alacrity. A prevalent statement among.the promulgators of the list-mentioned rumour is to the effect that a strong 'Conservative Government will be immediately formed, among the first of whose proceedings will be auappeal to the constituencies:- Whatever shall come out of' it, the Whigs- seem disposed to put their house in order, afar as they are able, and to provide apartments, if possible,. for the more-necessitous and clamorous of their friends. On Friday a report obtained confident circulation in Lincoln's-Inn;. that Chief Justice JERVISi' of the Common-Pleas, will immediately resign his seat, and be succeeded by Sir A. COCICRVEN? Lord PaLarzaSTON'S Attorney‘General. As on similar previous occasions, everything has giTen:pace, in the public mind, to a consideration of the government dead-lock. Even the war itself, out of which all the contre- temps of recent occurrence have direetlyor indirectly sprang, has for the instant ceased to occupy the chief place in general attention. Still the morsels of intelligence which come fre- quently, although in no instance fraught with mush informa- tion, or made the bearers of very important results,. are never- theless so far satisfactory that, while detailing no great or startling achievement, they are destitute of evil tidings, and are on the whole favourable to our ultimate suceesa. The attacking works of the English have been pushed, with suc- cess, considerably nearer the Redan ;. one account- states that the cemetery so gallantly taken by our troops on.the 18th of last month, and so unaccountably resigned after having been held for fourteen hours, was re-occupied by our men on the following day, and still remais- in our possession. In the meantime, Prone various sources,information is received repre- senting the state of the Russian army as very deplorable, and. their losses, in the way of transmitting reinforcements to the. Crimea, as gigantic and overwhelming. Our new commander. in-chief appears to be labouring on, undismayed by difficulties or opposition, both of which he appears to disregard. The health of our troops is represented as in all respects satisfac- tory on the whole, and everything appears,to wear the air of approaching success. As regards the proceedings of General PELISSIEMi opinion seems divided in the Crimea and in Paris, as in some degree in this country. In most respects he is regarded, as a brilliant and dashing soldier who has no idea of fear, and . some say too little of consequences=--such a general, indeed, as, would lead a brave army through any amount of obstacles and opposition in the field, and as one in every respect equal to any emergency which can be aneeamifolly npposaci_by indomit.tia_will. and oveveonae by the moat uncompromising activity, and the most daring enter- prise. While such is the prevalent opinion respecting his general merits and qualifications, military critics, and espe- cially in France, where they are both numerous and accute, concur in representing him as impetuous and rash, and as a man not well fitted for the conduct of such an enterprise as the reduction of a fortress like Sebastopol. In confirmation of this theory, they point to numerous instances, in which they maintain that the successes he has achieved in the Crimea are not equal to the sacrifices at which they have been attained ; and, as an irrefragable evidence of the accuracy of these views, they point with melancholy significance to the sad tissue of blunders which commenced, accompanied, and concluded the desperate conflict of the 18th of June. One• of these gentlemen, in speaking on the subject of Paaissixn's qualifications, delivers himself as follows :—" The rapidity and decision of the French Generalissirao's movements are pro- verbial. ' Take me that battery, though it cost twenty lives,' he says, and the troops rush to the exploit. The battery is not taken, but forty lives are sacrificed. Well, then, try it again at the expense of two hundred.' Four hundred fall ! Still the feat is not accomplished. Let the whole army go to it—we must have it at any cost.' " Although these strictures are, probably, over-severe, they are, unquestionably, so far countenanced by facts ; and men of calm judgment, as well as the most intrepid bravery, question sharply the tac- tical wisdom which, commencing an attack with inadequate means, is compelled to repeat it with quadruple or octuple the forte. The failure, in the first place, they say, is attended with a totally useless expenditure of means, and a depressing waste ' of life ; and they maintain that even the ultimate success so achieved is diminished in value by the loss of prestige which attended the repulse. From the Baltic the intelligence received at the end of last week, though not very decisive, is on the whole more en- couraging. The destruction of a town in Finland, on the sth instant, bears testimony to the active exertions of our fleet in these hyperborean regions ; and the receipt of a despatch from Admiral DIINDA.S, in which he communicates an account of a discussion with the Russian authorities relative to the privi- leges of flags of truce, indicates still more strongly the desire of our enemies to depart as far as possible from the usages of civilized war. • While war and political changes have agitated the great world, it is pleasing to observe that these Matters have not entirely absorbed the general attention ; but that, on the con- trary, elevated rank, breaking through the trammels of con- ventional etiquette, and combining with humbler talent, has lent a grace to seasonable benevolence. During the past week private theatricals, for charitable objects, have occupied an in- teresting position in the fashionable world. The drama,_ for the nonce, forsaking the play-house, has been naturalised in the mansions of the nobility ; and the sock and buskin have been adjuncts to the furnishings of the drawing-room. On Tuesday afternoon a private theatrical entertainment was given at Grosvenor House, the proceeds of which were devoted to help the suffering poor; and on the evening of the same day, a dramatic entertainment, attended with the most entire success, was given at Campden House, under the management of Mr. CusuLas DICKENS, for the benefit of the Consumption Hospital. On Friday, the gallery of Bridgewater House was kindly set apart by the Earl and Countess of ELLESMERE, for the performance of some dramatic entertainments, the pro- ceeds to go in aid of the Hospital for Convalescents at Walton- on-Thames, the funds of which institution have suffered severe dilapidation through the failure of &MAHAN, PAUL, and .Co. In each of the three instances the benevolent effort@ were crowned with gratifying success. The ordinary theatrical world is wagging pretty much as usual. At the Haymarket, Miss PAIICIT has made her first appearance before a London audience in Mr. THEODORE MARTIN'S charming translation of " King Ren6's Daughter," and has, as might have been ex- pected, from the genuine beauty of the drama, and the parti- cular excellence of the lady's acting in it, produced a great sensation. It is not a little singular that, although Miss FAIICIT has frequently enacted the chief character in this piece with distinguished success in the provinces, she should not, till the other night, have adventured it before the London critics. At the St. James Theatre, the celebrated tragedienne Itacnpr, is to appear in several of her leading characters in the plays of Les Horaces, Phedre, and Andromaque, commencing on the evening of this day fortnight. On the conclusion of her engagement, she will proceed to Liverpool, whence she is to embark for America. In the publishing world some little stir has been created by the appearance of "A Vindication of Major-General the Earl of LDCAN from Lord RAGLAN'S Reflections on his Conduct in the Action at Balaklava," which has been issued by HATCH- ARD. In this version of the case some new points in favour of Lord LtrcA.N have been well put, indeed, clearly esta- blished ; particularly as it appears Lord RAGLAN changed the arrangements previously made between Sir COLIN CAMPBELL and Lord LucAri, whereby the command of the cavalry was virtually taken out of his lordship's hands. I was glad to perceive you recently made honourable mention of the Law Book of the season, Blackstone's Commentaries by WARREN. By the profession it is looked on as of standard excellence, and both amateurs and professional-men will find it of inesti- mable value at the period of a general election,. which most parties appear to consider imminent. An unusually large impression of it (3,000) for a law book, has been, thrown off; and the demand for it continues large and steady. I perceive the John Bull speaks very favourably of it. The Pori' LAu- BEA:TB and Mr. FESTIIS BAILEY both announce new poems in the press,- the of that by the latter to be entitled " The Mystic." It is described as being very magnificent in its imagety, and powerful in the postic style of its diction. Other minstrels of less sonorous lyre are also, it is understood, hatching•poetic broods, and, before thesere leaf of autumn,has been shed, it is probable we shall be favoured with a consider- able lock of APOLLO'S` fledglings. THE REY, DR. 3P.NEILE, AFL► STREET PREACHING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stn,—l want this after:lcon to hear the Re-.- Dr. M'lsTeile preach, as hebad announced' his intention of doing, on the area in front of the Exchange; and it occurred to me, on re: turning, that r would commit Tfew thoughts to paper, for the chance of your deeming them worthy of insertion in your journal. I think I may claim to be an impartial witness, inasmuch as the mooted point of street preaching was one freely discussed by the clergy of a town with which, I was 'connected before I came to Liverpool; and some of my brethren and myself had almost resolved upon trying the experiment before I-left. I- am not about, then, to.eater a wholesale protest against the practice, which seems-to be sanctioned, at least, if 'not recommended, in that part;of the parable of the "great- supper," in which the master of the house is represented as saying to his servant "Go out into the streets and lanes of the city, * * into the high ways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; —and which certainly 111 a: claim i-cry high precedent, as having been the constant habit of Christ and his Apostles., The questions which I wish- to solve are—Lst : How far was the place; occupied by the Rev. Doctor this day, adapted for carrying ,out the practice-F-2nd : To what proportion of Ids auditors was his address likely •to prove-edifying or profitable?. I own, knowing the strength of lungs and power of elocution undoubtedly possessed by the Preacher, Lwas not prepared for the difikulty, which, (in common with myself,) must have been experienced-by at least two-thirds of the congregated mass who were really anxious to hear what he had to, say. I gradually `mike:buy way from the outskirts of the-multitude, to within twenty yards,- or less, directly in front of, the platform on which, the- Rev. Doctor was-standing ; and even at that short distanced could only hear a few isolated words. at intervals in each sentence. The people- about me, after rain •efforts• to penetrate the dense phalanx which had acquired -a nearer position, were restlessly flitting about, cr hl very audible, murmurs expressing their- inability to bear thus rendering- that inability still more complete, both to themselves mato their neighbours. Meanwhile, the confused sounds from. behind proved that vast numbers were on: the spot, on the- most aharitabie hypothe6s, from mere curiosity, without any wish, even, to hear a message from God, through the voice of Ilia ambassador. The inferences which I drew were these.: The place is" •too large—the crowd, in numbers, is too unmanageable—and,., if the phy*eai powers of Dr. Nl'Neile are-unable to surmount these obstacles, no one else need attempt.to do so. Street preaching, if it is to do any good, must have a local aim. It must not endeavour to draw together masses from various parts of a large town, in a space calculated to accommodate a great multitude ; but it: must be practised in those particular streets, courts, or alleys, in which, without 'obstruction of public thoroughfares, the preacher may have full evereand over the audience which he has to • address, arrest their attention, and, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit reach their hearts. Public advertisements, ..I re.ature to' think, will not effect this. The street Preacher, I humbly submit, should, by personal visitation, make known, in the locality in which he means to preach, his intention of doing so; and should take all proper means :to prevent its being known generally. He may reasonably expect to receive a deferential attention from, those whom he has personally in- vited; but, I cannot help thinking, where general publicity has been given, the number of idlers or curioas persons, who, will congregate together, will altogether thwart the good in, tentions of thepreacher, and result in evil rather than good. I say, result in,evil; for a crowd, in itself,unless under bene- ficial control, iedisposed for mischief. Thievesand adulterers will, perhaps invariably, mingle with it ; and assuredly a crowd, the principal part of which cannot possibly come under the beneficial influence which is supposed to preside over it, will fail to derive any profit from its concentration, and will almost certainly give occasion for the commission of much sin. Hence, I say, if we are to have street preaching,, let us not aim at a popular demonstration. Let us remember that labour, diligence, and perseverance, are, ordinarily, as necessary to insure success in our profession—that of the Christian minis- try—as in any other ;—that we are not to look for miraculous agencies in this age, but for a blessing in proportion to the self-denying exertions which we personally make to secure the end which we have in view ; and that, while preaching is a mighty engine for good to those who are really brought under its influence, this class will consist,—not of those who idly congregate from motives of curiosity, or worse motives still,— but of those, 'for the most part, who, either from education, habit,or personal contact with God's ministers, have been induced to become hearers of the Word. I inclose my card for your own information ; but I have a strong repugnance to controversy, and do not mean to enter into it. Should you insert this letter, and should it elicit a reply, I have no Intention of making a rejoinder. I would only say with St. Paul, " Christ is preached, and I therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sunday Night, July 15,1855. D.

BARTH.—Letters from Malta mention the arrival at the island of Mr. Giovanna Battista Galuiffi, Her Majesty's Consul at Mourzouk, up to the date of whose departure from Tripoli (in Barbary) on the 22d of June, Dr. Barth, hourly looked for, had not yet arrived from Bouillon, nor had any caravan come in from the interior by which tidings of him could have been con- veyed. ARREST Or A RUSSIAN AGENT AT DOVER.—At Dover, on Thursday, James Abrahams, a Polish Jew, supposed to be a Rus- sian agent, was brought up, charged with attempting to induce soldiers of the Foreign Legion to desert. Evidence was given by several of the soldiers and sub-officers, that he had proposed to them to desert, and that he would give them £4 a man, and find them employment in France. He said he had already settled with twenty. The prisoner, who pleaded for mercy, on account of his wife and family: was remanded,

The Royal assent was given by commission to a number of bills. A long discussion took place upon the presentation of a petition from certain native inhabitants of the presidency of Madras, praying for a change in the mode of Indian govern- ment. The bills on the table were advanced a stage. The House adjourned at 6.55 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. Mr. Grenville Berkeley took the oaths and his seat for Cheltenham. The house was summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the royal assent given by commission to a number of public and private bills. Lord J. Russell entered the house shortly before half-past four o'clock, and took his seat at the back of the ministerial benches, just below Lord Seymour. In reply to Captain Duncombe, Sir C. WOOD said the release of the British officers and seamen taken at Hango had been formally demanded on the part of Her Majesty's govern- ment, but no answer had yet been received. The prisoners, he understood, were well treated. Lord PALMERSTON, ill answer to a question from Mr. Moffatt, stated that, it would not be for the interests of the public to place the Post-office upon the same footing as the Customs or the Excise ; and, on consideration, he saw no rea- son for proposing such a change. Captain DIINCOMDE asked the noble lord whether, at any time, a subsidy was contemplated for Austria by the British government ? Lord PALMERSTON replied : No, Sir ! Never ! LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S EXPLANATIONS. On the motion that the order of the day be postponed, for the purpose of proceeding with Sir E. B. Lytton's motion, LORD J. RUSSELL rose and said, that on Thursday last he had stated to Lord Palmerston that he wished to retire from office, and he had to state that Her Majesty had been pleased to accept his resignation, and he now held office only until his successor was appointed. He then entered at great length into an account of his proceedings at ,Vienna, and upon his return, observing that it was true he had promised to lay before the Government in the most favourable manner the propositions that had been made to him by Austria. He i did so :in conjunction with other persons of great weight and authority, and acted in conjunction with the Ministers of Fo- reign Affairs for France and Turkey. He brought this proposal to this country upon the 29th of April. On the 30th, a Cabinet Council was held, the result of which was that the propositions not adopted by Her Majesty's Government. He then justi- fied his conduct in recommending the adoption of these pro- positions, stating that the rejection of them did not alter his opinion of their merits; and replied to Mr. Disraeli's objections, that if they were received, there was no great issue at stake to justify the exertions which this country was making to carry on the war. It was because the war was necessary that these exertions should be made, and he was the bearer chioautedghtthtehmeyagwneitruedaetoftthhaet peril to Turkey; he conceived the power of the project of toifmteh fite ptio.o be eo sai Russia to be such that it was necessary, if possible, to combine tcicoenpstedb.ecallusee appreciated all the great powers of Europe against her, in order that peace might be secured. Such was the foundation of his opinions— not formed suddenly upon the merits of the proposition ; but when Lord Westmoreland wrote, on the 16th May, a despatch stating that the Austrian Government conceived they had fulfilled the conditions of the treaty of December 2nd, and that they would not make the refusal of Russia to accept the proposition a casus belli, but only a ground for breaking off the Conferences. When the government received that de- spatch, tllere was no doubt, on their part, that it was not worth their while to go into Conference to support a prove- sition of the kind there stated? which was less favourable to the Allies than that proposed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys, which it was nearly certain, Russia would reject, and which Austria would not go to war to support. From that time, therefore, there was altogether an end to negociations with Austria for the purpose of proposing an ultimatum to Russia,, and that the war must be continued in order to maintain the obeets of the Allies. It had been made a- reproach to him by Mr. Disraeli and others, that though he had been the bearer of the Austrian propositions, he had spoken in favour of a vigourous prosecution of the war. He could not see what else he could possibly do. The govern- ment had determined that the negotiations must be put an end to, and what other means were there left for obtaining for a solution to the third point. The government were quite right in not making a communication to the house of the Austrian propositions at that time. The decision of Austria not to interfere by force nor to move her armies upon Russian trritory, but on the contrary to withdraw from any participation in the the contest, and even" to diminish and.. reduce here froces having been taken, it was evident from that moment that Russia which had been threatened, and has felt lgpressure of the great increase of the Austrian army, feel- What preessure taken off, would immediately feel herself at liberty to detatch some of the best troops in her army to the shores of the Crimea, to oppose the armies of Great Britain and France, render these circumstances, it would have been most unjustifiable for the government to have stated prema- turely the decision of Austria not to propose an ultimatum to Russia. He could not conceive a greater dereliction of duty in such acase. The noble lord further defended his opinion in this respect, adding that the government were united in the course that had been taken. He further stated that when Mr. Gib- son brought forward his question last Friday, after all that had then occurred, he should have been totally unworthy of his opinion if he had shrunk from meeting it with the expla- nation which he then made. What else could he do than own and admit the part he had taken in these transactions, He should have been ashamed of himself if he had denied that which he had done, and that whieh was his conscientious opinion. The hon. baronet (Sir E. Lytton) thought that the course he had taken was a ground for want of confidence in the whole Administration, and he was of opinion that because he (Lord J. Russell) held these views in May, he was incapable of serving Her Majesty. Now that impression appeared to preuail generally, and he consequently thought it necessary to- tender his resignation. Lord Palmerston having taken this course, he did not feel at all discontented with the position in which he found himself. He saw no reason to do so. He had always acted from what he believed to be for the benefit of the country. He had turned over this question again and again with a view to the public interest. He had advised that which he thought expedient for the eountry, and, whatever might happen, he had the satisfaction of having acted accord. ing to his conscience- SIR E. B. LYTTON'S MOTION. Sir E. B. LYTTON then rose and said that, in bringing for. ward his resolution he hoped the house would be as indulgent to him as they had been to the noble lord, placed as he was under the necessity of bringing forward a motioe against a government which, but for the conduct of one of its members, was entitled to their indulgence and commpassion. He then proceeded to criticies the noble lord's speech, who, he said, as a member of the government, had called upon the country to spill its best blood in a war which he, as a negotiator, believed unnecessary. Adverting to the Vienna correspondence, he expressed surprise that the noble lord had not retired from the cabinet within a week after he returned. It was surpris- ing that the noble lord at the head of the government had not seen that his government could not go on while its members were so completely divided in opinion, as was apparent from the correspondence that the Secretaay for the Colonies and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs were wholly at variance on the question of counterpoise. He (Sir. E. B. Lytton) gave a hearty concurrence to the sound and healthy tone of Lord Claren- don's correspondence, but how could Lord Palmerstone think of going on when he contrasted the opinions of that nobleman with those of Lord J. Russell. Was Lord Clarendon to be considered the specimen of the Cabinet? Were they all united—were the first Lord of the Admiralty and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer in unison with the rest of the Cabinet in carrying on the war ? The Cabinet was said to be united last May, yet it was now admitted that there were differences of opinion ; and he would remark that a discussion like this would scarcely be excused by the plea of expediency. He would withdraw his motion, for all its objects had been at- tained. Mr. BOUVERIE said that, as the motion had vanished into thin air, he would offer a few words upon a subject personal to himself. He had seen a statement that he was one of some members of the government who had waited upon Lord Pal- merston, to say that they could not resist the motion of the hon. baaonet. The very reverse of that statement was the truth. The fact was, that he had refused to be a party to such a representation, upon the distinct ground of his personal attachment to Lord J. Russell ; but he stated that, as a friend of the noble lord, he was ready, however painful it might be, to convey to him the general impression among his colleagues. In this he thought he was acting as a true friend of the noble lord—(a laugh)—and he was satisfied that his noble friend fully appreciated the motives which led him to take such a step. (A langh.)

ADDITIONAL details of the events connected with the unfortunate attacks by the Allies, on Sebastopol, on the 18th of last month, continue to be received. They do not much alter the general complexion of affairs in relation to those proceedings as they have been already stated. Some misapprehension appears to have prevailed in reference to a sortie made by the Russian garrison on the morning of that day, at a very early hour, and which, according to some reports, is said to have precipitated the French attack on the Malakhoff, and so to have led to the disasters which attended that attack. The discussions on this subject have not tended in any great degree to clear up the point, which is now of less moment. According to the latest accounts received, the progress of the Allies in their measured advance upon the defences of the town have not been materially retarded by the reverses referred to. On the contrary, they seem to be pro- ceeding with renewed energy ; and, if we may judge from the accounts transmitted, with a degree of su cess which augurs ultimate and not distant triump On Saturday, the 23rd of June, the allied position and its neighbourhood was visited by a thunderstorm of , great severity, accompanied by a very heavy fall of rain, which did a great deal of injury. All reports concur in representing the health of the Allies as good. Concerning the thunderstorm and the general state of affairs,the Times correspondent, writing on the 25th, says: The storm which burst over the south-eastern portion of the Chersonese on Saturday night has done more damage than we could have anticipated. Men were drowned in ravines converted by the tornado into watercourses, were carried off roads by mountain torrents, and dashed against hill sides ; beasts were swept away into the harbour and borne to sea; huts were broken up and floated into the ocean ; the burial- grounds near Balaklava were swept bare, and disclosed their grim army of the dead in ghastly resurrection, washed into strange shapes from out their shallow graves ; and, greatest calamity of all, the railway was in various places decomposed, ripped up and broken down, so as to be unserviceable at our greatest need. Orders have been sent down to urge on the necessary repairs, for the demands of the batteries for shot and shell are pressing, and the electric telegraph has been repeatedly in use to-day to force on the attention of the authorities at Balaklava the necessity there is for their promptest exertions, and to order them to send up supplies of materriel for our fifth bombardment as speedily as possible The French say they are quite ready, and they have received from us 1,500 32-pound shot for their guns to-day. The railway fails at a critical period, but even if it were in its usual state we could not hope to be in a con- dition to begin a heavy fire for some time to come, and I believe it will be fully a fortnight or three weeks before the necessary supplies will be brought up to the front. The repairs to the railway will be effected in ten days. Mr. Beatty and Mr. Campbell are away at Heraclea surveying the coal district, but their representatives are men of energy, and the only obstructions to be dreaded will arise from the " navvies," some of whom have been behaving very badly lately. They nearly all " struck work" a short time back, on the plea that they were not properly rationed or paid, or that, in other words, they were starved and cheated ; but the provost-marshal brought some of them to a sense of their situation, and, indeed, the office of that active and worthy person and of his myrmidon sergeants has been by no means a sinecure between " navvies," Greeks, and scoundrels, of all sorts. The Croat insurrection is suppressed, but the Croat idleness has not been by any means stimulated into usefulness. No wonder Col. M'Murdo finds it difficult to get men for the Land Transport Corps, although even he is obliged to pay 2s. 6d. and 3s. a-day to native surid- jees, so completely have we ruined the market. The losses in the Land Transport Corps by death would be extraordinary did we not find a parallel to them in the •Sardinian army of Tchorgoun, which has lost in three weeks nearly 1,000 men by cholera, dysentery, and diarrhoea. The Turks and French en- camped in the valley suffer somewhat from the same diseases, but it is observable that the men who die are recruits and old men who are mostly unacclimatized. To understand the diffi- culties in the way of what is called at home " taking the field," one must come out and stay out here. It would be much easier to take Sebastopol thanto take the field. There are only three ac- cessible passes, up the precipitous wall of rock which rises on the north side of the Tchernaya, to the plateau on which the Russians are encamped, and the precipice runs round to the Belbek. These passes are so steep that an army would have some difficulty in ascending them at its leisure, without re- sistance from any enemy. But they are occupied wherever engineering eyes detect the smallest weakness—they are com- manded by batteries, intersected by positions threatened by everhanging cliffs all ready for the lever. March round and turn them ! Where and how ! We have no transport even if we could march, and we cannot march, because Napoleon himself would never lead an army into such defiles as guards the Russian position. Whether we are not strong enough to detach a great corps of 40,000 or 50,000 men to operate against the Russians north of Sebastopol is not for me to say; but it is certain that the base of operations for any such corps must be the sea, till ample transport is provided. The Crimea is to all intents and purports a desert—a Sahara, waterless and foodless before an invading army. A long train of provisions came into Sebastopol to-day, and the mirror tele- graph, which works by flashes from a mound over the Belbeck, was exceedingly busy all the forenoon. Troops were also ob- served in motion on the hills opposite Inkerman. The weather is warm, but there is a strong breeze of wind, which tempers its heat. The rain has developed horrible effluvia in camp, and sickness is rather on the increase. With great regret and surprise we heard of Captain Lyons's death this evening. THE ARMISTICE. Concerning the armistice, the same correspondent, writing on the 26th, says : The sad history of the 19th, which 1 was obliged to inter- rupt on the departure of the mail, is soon finished. The bodies of many a brave officer whom I knew in old times—old times of the war, for men's lives are short here, and the events of a life are compressed into a few hours—were borne past us in silence, and now and then, wonderful to relate, men with severe wounds were still living, and able to give expression to their sufferings by moans and sighs of pain. The spirit of some of these noble fellows triumphed over all their bodily agonies. " General !" exclaimed a sergeant of the 18th Royal Irish to Brigadier Eyre, as he came near the place. in the cemetery where the poor fellow lay with both his legs broken by a round shot; " thank God, we did our work, any way. Had I another pair of legs, the country and you would be welcome to them !" Many men in hospital, after losing leg or arm, said they "would not have cared if they had only beaten the Russians." The tor- tures endured by the wounded were very great ; they lay in holes made by shells, and were frequently fired at by the Rus- sian riflemen when they rolled about in their misery. Some of our men, however, report that the enemy treated them kindly, and even brought them water out of the embrasures. They pulled all the bodies of our officers which lay within reach up to the abattis, and took off their epaulettes, when they had any, and their boots, but did not strip them. It was observed that the ditch of the abattis was in excellent order—that the chevaux-de-frise had been repaired, and were very strong, and that every effort had been used up to the moment before we assaulted to render it, as it was, a formidahle obstacle to our advance. It is said that the bottom of the ditch was filled with bayonets, fixed firmly in the earth; and there is a report that the Russians were employed during the night of the 17th in repairing the abattis itself where it was injured by our cannon. I have already tried to describe the nature of the ground in the front of the abattis. It was in itself a con- siderable impediment to regularity of formation. A line of sentries was formed by the Russians as our burying parties came out, and they advanced so far in front of the abattis that General Airey was obliged to ;remonstrate with an aide-de- camp of General Osten-Sacken, who ordered them to retire nearer to the abattis. It was observed that these men were fine tall, muscular, and soldierlike fellows. They were unusually well dressed, in clean new uniforms, and were no doubt picked out to impose upon us. Many of them wore medals, and seemed veteran soldiers. Their officers had also turned out with unusal care, and wore white kid gloves, patent leather boots, and white linen. The mass of the Russians were gathered on the towering parapets of the Redan and Malakhoff, and were not permitted to come to the front. Their working parties brought out all our dead, and laid them in front of their line of sentries, whence our people carried them away. The precautions which had been taken to prevent officers and men getting through the lines sufficed to keep any crowd away, but the officers on duty and the lucky men, and some amateurs, who managed to get through the lines, formed groups in front of the Redan, and entered into con- versation with a few of the Russian officers. There was, however, more reserve and gravity in the interview than has been the case on former occasions of the kind. One stout elderly Russian of rank asked one of our officers " How are you off for food ?" " Oh ! we get everything we want ; our fleet secures that." " Yes," remarked the Russian, with a knowing wink, "yes ; but there's one thing you're not so well off for, and your fleet can't supply you, and that's sleep." " We're at least as well off for that as you are," was the rejoinder. Another officer, in the coarse of conversation, asked if we really thought, after our experience of the de- fence they could make, that we could take Sebastopol. " We must ; France and England are determined to take it." " Ah ! well," said the other, " Russia is determined France and England shall not have it, and we'll see who has the strongest will, and can lose most men." In the midst of these brief interviews, beginning and ending with bows and salutes, and inaugurated by the concession of favours relating to cigars and lights, the soldiers bore dead bodies by, consigning the privates to the burial grounds near the trenches, and carrying off the wounded and the bodies of the officers to the camp. Poor Forman's body was one of the first found ; it was far in advance of where he came out of the trench with his company of the Rifle Brigade, and it was terribly torn with shot. It was generally observed by some of the surgeons, however, that the wounds were cleaner than they have been in previous engagements. This is some- what remarkable, for the Russians fired all kinds of missiles— bags of nails and fragments of bullets, shells, and balls, as well as grape . and canister. They were seen as we advanced " shovelling" the shot into the muzzles of the guns. No one can deny many of the officers the praise of extreme bravery and devotion. In the midst of our fire they got up oil the top and on the outside of the parapets, and directed the fire of their men upon us. Several of them were knocked over by round shot, shell, and rifle balls, while exposing them- selves in this manner, but it scarcely speaks well for their soldiers that they felt it necessary to set them such examples. Colonel Dickson succeeded in obtaining Lord Raglan's per- mission to open on the Russians from the 21-gun battery, and swept them away in numbers as they crowded out to fire on our broken columns and on our wounded men and fugitives. The armistice lasted for upwards of two hours, and when it was over we retired from the spot so moistened with our blood. RETENTION OP THE CEMETERY. All the advantage we gained by the assault was the capture of the Cemetery, and even that we had nearly abandoned, owing to the timidity of the eof our generals. As you have already learnt, the men in Cemetery and houses suffered severely during the 18th t om. the enemy's fire, and the soldiers in the latter were not able to withdraw till nightfall. It was left to one of the Generals of Division to say what should be done with the Cemetery, and he gave orders to abandon it. On the following morning an officer of Engineers, Lieutenant Donnelly, heard to his extreme surprise that the position for which we had paid so dearly was not in our possession. Re appreciated ita value—he saw that the Russians bad not yet advanced to re-occupy it. With the utmost zeal and energy he set to work among the officers in the trenches, and begged and borrowed some 30 men with whom he crept down into the Cemetery, just before the flag of truce was hoisted. As soon as the armistice began the Russians flocked down to the Cemetery, which they supposed to be undefended, but to their great surprise they found our 30 men posted there as sentries, who warned them back, and in the evening the party was strengthened, and we are now construct- ing most valuable works and batteries there, in spite of a heavy fire, which occasions us considerable loss. Such is the storythat is going the round of the camp. Lord Raglan is said to have found fault with General Eyre for -losing SO many men, but the latter observed, that he had done what he was .ordered, and that he had taken the Cemetery. There can be no doubt but that our troops could have got into the town in the rear of the Redan from the houses on the 18th, had they been strong enough to advance from the Cemetery. Whether they could have maintained themselves there under the fire of forts, ships, and batteries, is another question. It is now shrewdly suspected that inside the Redan, behind those outward and visible walls of earth, there is another very strong work—a kind of star fort of earth with sunken batteries—and it is certain that inside the Malakoff works there are several lines of battery which have never been unmasked. The enemy have probably constructed large funnel-shaped pits behind these works, into which shells roll and burst, as such a " dodge" was found in the Mamelon. Inside the latter work were splendid bombproofs for the men to retire into when our fire became hot. They were large pits with 10 feet of earth, and beams of wood across them, and were capable of holding a strong body of men. In one some new sacks marked with the broad arrow and B. 0. were found, in which were packets of cartridges ready for use. Where did these sacks come from P It is almost as strange as the English bread found at Tchorgoun. There is talk of a spy being taken, or rather discovered, in a sub-interpreter to the Commissariat, who confesses he has been in communication with the Russians, and revealed our attack to them. He will be shot, if this be true.

THURSDAY. At its early sitting, the house went into committee on the Nuisances Removal Amendment Bill. After considerable dis- cussion, the different clauses of the bill were disposed of, and on the proposal of Sir B. HALL, some new clauses were agreed to without discussion.—On the motion of Mr. HORSPALL, a clause was adopted which provides that, on the certificate of the medical officer to the local authority that any house was over- crowded, proceedings might be taken to abate such overcrowd- ing.—The house then resumed, and the Chairman reported the bill to the house. Mr. HOLLAND took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Evesham, in the room of Mr. C. G. Berkeley, who had ac- cepted the lailtern Hundreds. The house adjOi;ned at four o'clock. The evening sitting commenced at six o'clock. After the discussion of some matters of routine, comprising a few re- marks on the Turkish Loan, the subject of THE AUSTRIAN PROPOSALS and Sir E. B. Lytton's motion regarding Lord John Russell's share in the negotiations for peace were introduced by Lord PALMERSTON, who brought up Papers connected with the late negotiations at Vienna, and in moving that they be laid on the table observed that the go- vernment could not consent to the motion of which notice had been given by Mr. Disraeli (to give precedence that day to Sir B. B. Lytton's motion over the orders of the day), since the Papers he had then presented could not be in the hands of members in time for the discussion.—Lord J. RUSSELL, refer- ring to an inquiry made by Mr. Disraeli in his absence on Tuesday, explained what he did say did not require the sanc- tion of Her Majesty, which had, however, since been given.— Mr. DISRAELI did not see that the statement of Lord John at all changed the state of things. What had disquieted the country was, that it should have come out on his part that he had returned to England with a project of pacifi- cation of which he approved, and which he recommended to his colleagues, and, on their refusal to adopt it, he had come down to the house, and made a speech which conveyed to the country that he was an uncompromising advocate of the war, leaving an impression upon Parliament and the nation utterly inconsistent with the facts. If he received an assurance that there should be a full discussion of this im- portant issue on Monday, he would not press his motion.— Lord PALMERSTON said his object in deferring the discussion was to give time for the papers to be read ; and, if it suited the convenience of Sir B. Lytton, he should be prepared to take the discussion, from which the government had no wish to shrink, on Monday.—Sir E. B. LYTTON assented to this proposal. Mx. ROEBVCX'S MOTION. —ln answer to a questions fir. ROEBUCK said he believed that he should meet the wishes of the house by postponing his motion. I Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr. Hutt, said the papers did not include a copy of the circular of Count Buol, which was not in the possession of the government. The motion was agreed to. -The Education (Scotland) Bill was passed on a division by a majority of 130 to 115. A protracted discussson ensued in regard to a deputation of Irish members on the Tenants' Improvement Compensation DisRAELr complained of the way in which the busi- ness of the house was conducted.—Lord PALMERSTON disputed the accuracy of the charge.—This subject led to a long discus- sion, in which no small degree of acrimony mingled, suggestions being thrown out that the intercourse between the Irish depu- tation and the Government was not altogether unconnected with the impending motion of Sir B. Lytton.—At a quarter to one o'clock, the Chairman was ordered to report progress, though none whatever had been made in the bill. • Lady Raglan and Lord Raglan's AnnUitie; Bill passed through committee. The Coal Mines Inspection Bill was read a third time, and after some discussion passed. The remaining business having been disposed of, the House adjourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock.

Wholesale Warehouse, 26, Bride.iane: London, PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY. Mlle meeting of the House, Lord STIAFTESBURY stated, that, at the urgent request of the Bishops of London and Oxford, he should postpone his bill until Monday, the 16th. THE MASSACRE AT HANGO.—The Earl of MALMESBURY directed attention to the despatch of General de Berg, vindi- cating the massacre at Hango. He requested to know what course government intended to pursue in the matter.—The Earl of CLARENDON said the letter referred to was most unsatisfactory, and added that Admiral Dundas had been ordered to demand the immediate release of the prisoners. A communication had also been made, through the Danish government, on the subject, with the Russians. Till answtrs to these demands had been received, government could not say what course it would adopt.—Lord CAMPBELL said there could be no doubt that the Russians had been guilty of a most flagrant breach of the law of nations.—Lord COLCHESTER, without offering any excuse for the Russians, expressed a hope that this event would render our naval officers more careful in communicating with the enemy by flags of truce. In answer to a question from the Earl of Malmesbury, Lord CLARENDON said there were grounds for hoping that a cartel for the exchange of prisoners will speedily be arranged. The Victoria Government Bill was read a second time. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.—The Marquis of CLAN- RICARDE moved for a return of all persons employed in the diplomatic service, and expressed an opinion that the attacks so frequently made on that branch of the public service were unfair and unfounded.—The Earl of CLARENDON had no ob- jection to the production of the returns.—Lord GRANVILLE took the occasion to defend himself from some attacks which had been made upon him in the Lower House with regard to certain diplomatic appointments made by him when Foreign Minister.—Lord MALMESBURY deprecated any attempt to remove the patronage of the Foreign-office from the control of the Foreign Minister for the time being.—The returns were then agreed to, and the matter dropped. Some other business was despatched, after which their lordships adjourned. _ THURSDAY. Their lordships had only a short sitting, in the course of which they forwarded several bills a stage.—ln the early part of the sitting, Lord LYNDHURST withdrew his Oath of Abjuration Bill.

THE WONDER OF WONDERS ! ! ! HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY. Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simpson, of Collingliam, dated 4th Sept., 1854. To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—lt is with great pleasure I hare to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful malady, the dropsy, effected on my daughter by the use of your invalu- able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time. After suffering very severely for some time, -she finally had re- course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there- fore feel bound to make this statement public for the benefit of similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently, (Signed) DAVID SIMPSON. WONDERFUL CURE -OF ASTHMA. Copy of a Letter from Itiir. Joseph Wild, of Hyde, Cheshire, dated the sth of August, 1.554. • To Professor Holloway,— Sir, mrs. Newton (a lady well known in this town, residing in Hanover street) wns afflicted for years with a severe attack of asthma ; difficulty of breathing, and a most violent cough, causing severe pains in her side, parti- cularly when she took cold; she tried many remedies, and con- sulted different individuals, without deriving any benefit. At last she came to me, and I advised her to take your pills and use your ointment ; after a few weeks, by perseverance with your remedies, she was considerably better, and, by continuing the same, in three months she was perfectly cured.—l remain, yours, &c.

Although I tried a variety of reputed remedies, I was not benefited, and finally I be- came so bad that life was almost insupportable to me. At this period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound to confess. that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.

Queen, Charlotte, who, probably, a woman of narrow mind, particularly as that was measured in comparison with some of her predecessors, was, nevertheless, finely imbued with many of the womanly feelings and truly feminine virtues to which they were strangers. From the moment she figures in the pages of this book, the reader becomes familiar with an improved tone in the morals and a purer air in the narrative. That both George 111. and his Queen were of simple and unos- tentatious habits, is too well known to require authen- tication ; and it is also known that both of them evinced considerable partiality for the sect of Quakers, whose simplicity of manners seemed akin to their own; but it may not be so extensively familiar to our readers that, among the first visits of the youthful Queen Charlotte, accompanied by her royal husband, on their visits to London, was one to the house of a Quaker ; nevertheless, so it was. After passing, as Dr. Doran graphically delineates them, the various city formalities at Temple Bar and St. Paul's Churchyard, the royal pair proceeded, not to Guildhall, but to the house of Robert Barclay, patent medicine vendor, ancestor to the head of the firm of Barclay, Perkins, and Co. Robert, who was in his eightieth year; was the only surviving son of that Robert Barclay who wrote the celebrated " Apology for the Quakers," and who was also a pro- genitor of the famous Captain Barclay, the noted pe- destrian and zealous patron of athletic sports. The occasion of the royal visit to the city was a "Lord lifayor;slpa,P,:: and- the -prefercnce apcorded to-- the .Qtt,akers,Transion appears haie been higklappre- ciaed"by' "'the hearty old man," -who had keviously enterlained.both- the preceding Georges, and also' by his family. Of this. fact Dr. Doran gives interesting testimony in the following ACCOUNT OF A ROYAL VISIT, BIC A QUAKERR3B. Queen Charlotte and George 111, were the last of our sove- reigns who thus honoured a Lord Mayor's show. And as it was the last oceasion, and that the young Queen Charlotte was the heroine of the day, the opportunity may be profited by to show how the royal lady looked and bore herself in the estima- tion of one of the Miss Barclays, whose letter descriptive of the scene appeared about forty-seven years subiequently, in 1803. The following extracts are very much to our purpose : "About one o'clock papa and mama, with sister Western, to attend them, took their stand at 'the street-door, where my two brothers had long been to receive the nobility, more than a hundred •of whom were then waiting in the ware- house. As the royal family came, they were conducted into one of the counting-houses, which was transformed into a very pretty parlour. At half-past two their majesties came, which was two hours later than they had intended. On the second pair of stairs was placed our own company, about forty. in number, the chief of whom were of the Puritan order, and all in their orthodox habits. Next to the drawing-room doors were placed our own selves, I mean papa's children, none else, to the great mortification of visitors, being allowed to enter :- for as kissing the- king's hand without' kneeling was an un- exampled honour, the king confined that privilege to our own family, as a retiirn'for, the trouble we had been-at. After the royal pair had shown themselves at the balcony, we were all introduced, and you may believe, at that juncture, we felt 'no small palpitations. The king met us at the danr, (a condel- cension I did not eipect,) at which place he saluted us with great politeness. Advancing to the upper -end of the room, we kissed the queen's hand, at the sight of whom we were all in raptures, not only front the brilliancy of her appearance, Which was pleasing beyond description, but being througheut her whole person possessed of that inexpressible something that is beyond a set of features, and equally claims our atten- tion. To be sure, she has not a fine face, but a most agreeable countenance, and is vastly genteel, with an air, notwithstanding her being a little woman, truly majestic; and I really think, by her manner is expressed. that complacency of disposition which is truly amiable ; and though I could, never perceive that she deviated from that dignity which belongs to a crowned head, yet on the most trifling occasions she displayed all that easy behaviour that negligence can bestow.l Her hair, which is of alight colour, hung in what is called coronation-ringlets, encircled in a band of diamonds, so beautiful in themselves, and so prettily disposed, as will admit of no description. Her clothes, which were as rich as gold, silver, and silk could make them, was a suit from which fell a train supported by a little page in scarlet and silver. The lustre of her stomacher was inconceivable. The king I think a very personable man. All the princes followed the king's example in complimenting each of us with a kiss. The queen was up stairs three times, and

PROVISIONS. LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.—There is rio improvement in the demand for beef; the sales for the week are unusually light, but holders do not press the market. Pork also remains dull and lifeless, without change in value. In bacon the transactions are on a very trilling scale; the dealers still hold off, but the light stock prevents prices giving way. For lard there is less inquiry, and the sales for the week do not reach 100 tons. The condition of the cheese lately arrived is not satisfactory, hence sales are difficult to effect. Grease butter is saleable in small quantities only. Tallow early in the week was active, but is now dull. ST.

IRELAIVD. THERE is not a red coat idAthlone garrison, which has not occurred since the days of Cromwell. The garrison is now oc- cupied by the Westmeath and Longford, both rifle Corps. MILITARY COLLEGE FOR IRELAND.-The Dublin Evening Mail gives currency to a report which appeared in an Irish provincial journal, that the_ Queen's College, Galway, being found nearly useless for the purposes it was originally designed for, is about to be converted into an institution of military education. CHIEF .JUSTICE LEFROY.-7A rumour has prevailed in Dublin for the last few days, to the effect that Chief Justice Lefroy is about to obtain a peerage, and to make way for the elevation of the Attorney-General to the Chief Justiceship. The Freeman's Journal throws some doubt upon the accuracy of the report. • " THE PRESBYTERIAN REPRESENTATION .SOCIETY."-An important political movement has been set on foot among the Irish Presbyterians, who took advantage of the recent General Assembly at Dublin to hold a meeting of ministers, elders, and laymen, for the purpose of forming an association, to be called The Presbyterian Representation Society," having for its object the election of members of the Presbyterian body as parliamentary representatives. FLOGGING Ix THE MILITIA..-It was stated by the Galway Express that a stripling soldier of the North Mayo Militia has been flogged at Castlebar for drunkenness. It is added, that the punishment was administered on a Sunday Who is the officer in command of the North Mayo Militia at Castlebar ? It behoves him to declare him Self, and to deny at once this latter statement, if lie can deny it; for, of course, it is' out of the nature of things, in the present day, for any man to con- tinue to hold a commission in Her Majesty's service who may have been guilty of so flagrant and violent a profanation. It is, indeed, difficult to believe that any officer, however fire-new his dignity, could expect to brave public opinion by converting the day of sacred rest into a day of infamy and torture, after the well remembered explosion of popular indignation at a similar outrage, some few years ago, in the Seventh Light Dragoons.--Evening

IVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.---It is 11 with much regret that the Committee find themselves com- pelled to make an urgent APPEAL to the Public on behalf of this Institution, Owing to the serious diminution in the Income, from a falling off in Donations and Legacies,which amounted ,in 1852, t0X2,219 ; 185 3re ,315; 185 4,X775; and the high prices of all Articles of Consumption. the past year closed with a heavy Debt of nearly X 1,400, which is daily increasing, from the same causes being still in operation. Unless this be checked by timely suc- cour, no alternative will be left but to curtail the Relief hitherto afforded to the Sick and Disabled Poor of the community; a course much to be deprecated, and one from which Cie Committee hopefully trust the Public will spare them the necessity of re- sorting.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, during the past week, such ama- teurs of well-represented dramatic pieces of mere amusement as chose to attend, had ample opportunity of gratification in the performances of M. Levassor and his able assistants, who represented a series of comic dramas, and cleverly enacted parodies on pieces of established reputation. M. Levassor is an actor of great and versatile talent, which has been culti- vated with praiseworthy and successful assiduity. In several of the pieces he sustained more characters than one, and de- lighted his audience with the rapidity of his changes, and the entire vraisemblance of his impersonations. His style is polished, graceful, and easy, and the quiet simplicity of his really earnest deportment takes his representations almost out of the range of histrionic effort, and places his appearance more on a par with the refined suavity of elevated social life. In dis- playing the characteristics of a man of breeding and refine- ment, he exhibits the steady equipoise of manner observable in the educated gentleman—he is at once firm and unobtrusive— easy, without being familiar—dignified without hauteur. As a comic actor, he was scarcely, if at all, less successful : now displaying bursts of fun, and anon giving effect to a stream of quiet, gentle, and refined huinour of the most fascinating order. In Mad'lle. Zupire, he had an able and judicious aide. This lady is an admirable specimen of the accomplished French comedienne. Always self-possessed and graceful, she treads the stage as she would the floor of a drawing-room, and while never losing sight of the actress, she, in every phase of her performance, keeps the lady present to the eye of the specta- tor. She sings, too, with much taste and expression, and adds the charm of a refined ease of deportment to a handsome figure, and a countenance full of characteristic emotion. Md'lle. Pascal and Mons. Vezian further contributed by their talents and the quiet exercise of their varied skill to enhance the value of these beautiful performances.—At this theatre it will be perceived Mr. Charles Matthews commences an engage- ment for six nights on Monday next. AT TIM ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE the performances have been graced by the appearance of a debutante, in the person of Miss Blanche Fane, who, along with the accom- plished comedian, Mr. Ranger, has been playing in a round of favourite English comedies. This young lady is about to make her curtsey on the boards of the Haymarket, prepara- tory to which she has taken a brief engagement here. In person she is rather .petite, although well formed and of an easy carriage; her countenance is pleasing, and finely suscep- tible of varied expression. In stage deportment she is natural and easy, and is possessed of a lively play of features. In. several of the characters which she has enacted, she has 'dis- played a good—indeed an excellent appreciation of 'the 'part alloted to her, and has been gay and sportive without an effort—sedate and theughtful without being heavily didactic. As Lady Peazle, lt the "School for Scandal," Which she played on Wednesday, and repeated on Friday, -she 'exhibited. a great deal of right feeling, and gave an 'excellent repre- sentation of the giddy thoughtlessness and inconsiderate vivacity of imptdsive emotion. The part of Sir Peter was ad- mirably sustained by Mr. Ranger, and most of the other cha- racters were respectably filled up. The 'Ludy Sneerwell of Mrs. J. Walton would have lost nothing of its interest or, effi- ciency if she had had time to render herself moderately familiar With the dialogue, As Charles Surface, Mr. Loraine appeared to rather more advantage than usual. Pratras OPERAS Ix LrvanrooL.--It 'is rumoured that arrangements have been made fora series of Italian operatic performances in this town, to take place in t'he course of the ensuing autumn, which, forcompleteness and efficiency, will surpass any previously witnessed in Liverpool, and be little inferior to those given in 'the metropolis. The principal ar- tistes of the Royal Italian Opera are it is-said engaged, inclea- ing,Gardini and Tamberlik as tenor, Tagliafico, &c., bassi, Bosco, Garcia, Rudersdorf, Didi4e, &c„:an prime donne. The chorus and band will also be complete, and the properties and dresses the same as at Covent-garden. The operas to be-giyen will, we believe, consist of several new to the Liverpool public, including Verdi's A'of irceutre Trovatore,' which has been so successful in London this season. NEXT session cf Parliament, it is said, a bill wilrbe intro- duced making Liverpool and Birkenhead one municipality. THE CIVIL -Senvier IN LIVERPOOL : APPOINTMENTS.— Mr. Hugh Campbell has been appointed an extraveigher in the Customs department of this-port. In the Inland Revenue department, Mr. John Dodd, ilEcise-officer, has been appointed to Holywell Third Ride, North Wales Collection. ABOUT three months ago a gentleman sent a diamond break- pin to Mr. Charles Wells, jeweller, Bold-street, to' be repaired, and on being returned it was found that paste had been sub- stituted forthe diamond. The man who had repaired the pin absconded,,and no trace of the missing diamondwas discovered until last week, when it was taken to Mr.'Wells' shop by a young woman, who offered it for sale. She'was given' into custody, and has been remanded until the police can make in- quiries. SHOUT TIME IN MlLLs.—The meetings convened in Pres- ton last week and the preceding week, to-consider the' pro- priety of working- short time in cotton factories, were 'not attended by many millowners, there being• a general feeling that in such a question-each manufacturer -should be' left to act as his inclination or interest led him, rather than join • in any combination. Welearn, however,' that the state of the tradeis.such that it is net improbable that-several mills will soon rim four days a meek, there being- a -general impression that such a course can alone effect any lieneficial .change either in the Liverpool or Manchester markets.—Prestorz Chronicle. DEPA'RTURE OF AUSTRALIAN Slttra.-To-morrow the Royal Mail packet clipper ship Shalimar, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's celebrated " White Star" Line, go into the river, and she will, without fail, sail on Friday next, the 20th inst. She has already on board nearly all her 'cargo, and she will carry out about 320 -passengers. i Her mails will close in London on Thursday 'evening ; but in Liverpool letters will be received; with late fees, to within an hour cr two of the vessel's sailing. The 'Conway, belonging to the " Black •Ball" Line, sailed on Thursday last, for Hobart Town; with a full cargo aud a large compliment of passengers. The Biobio, belonging to the same company, will probably sail this week for Sydney. The James Baines is the next mail- packet after the Shalimar, for Melbourne, on the sth August. The Bomerang, 'frith the Australian mails;is expectedin about a week.from Melbourne. Messrs. Gibbs, .:Bright, and Co., have their clipper ship.'Albatross on the berth for Melbourne. Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson are in hourly expectation of the arrival of the Redqacket. WAR ,MOVEMENTS AT THIS PORT.—The South American and • General Steam Navigation Company's screw-steamer Imperatriz, 1,800 tons, Captain Cox, arrived in the Mersey on Wednesday night, from Portsmouth, 'at • which port she landed invalids from thereat of war. She is in the Sandon Graving Dock, getting .a thorough, overhaul. Her horse fittings have been taken 'down, and she is being prepared to receive infantry. She will he ready in about a week, when she will embark the. 56th Foot, consisting of 33 officers and 889 rank ,and file. The Admiralty troop-steamer Resolute,. Transport No. 214, arrived here on Saturday, to remedy, some slight defects in, her new machinery. The Cunard screw-steamer Emu, Transport No. 74, ,arrived here on Sunday morning, bringing Capt. Wickham, 38rd Regiment, wounded in. he Crimea; the Syrian Archbishop of India, and a number of dock-yard artificers from the Black Sea. .The steamer City of Aberdeen Ss hourly expected here from Portsmouth, to embark detachments of the .2nd Dragoon Guards and-the 17th Lancers for the Crimea. .Three large batches of naval volunteers were sent up to London last week, and another will be despatcheato-night. It is believed that a trial of Naysmith's large wrought-iron gun wiil take place on the North Shore in a few days. ONE or THE GREATEST. PLAOITES OF LIFE.--Mary Trainer, a rather good looking servant gin!, was charged at the Police- court, yesterday, with robbing her mistress, Mrs. Keegan, of Upper Canning-street, with whom she had lived about five weeks. A gentleman who lodges at the house] said : —That about half-past five o'clock a few mornings ago, he heard a loud ring at the door, but paid no ~attention to it. Shortly after he heard another ring, and in going down stairs he .saw a policeman at the door, who. said that he had noticed the girl sitting up during the night, and finding the door open lie sus- pected she had run (way, and so he rang the bell. This was found to be' true, her. bed in the kitchen had not been laid upon, and several littl&things were missing. Inspector Horne said that he was informed of the robbery, and traced the girl to a house in Gascoigae-street, where lie found a large box. She then took him to a, shop in Waterloo-road, where he found a band-box, and at her la/other's, in Crosslaall-street, he found another box belonging to' her. All these contained property stolor from Mrs. Keegan,consisting of a dress, pockethand, kerchiefs, shoes, boots, gloves,.&e. A person from the shop in Waterloo-road said that the prisoner asked her misses to have her box;there, as she was going to sail for America in a day or two. The plaintiff did not press the charge, as the girl had previously borne a good diameter, and the latter got off with two -months' imprisonment. CLEVER-CAPTURE OF DAUM& THIEVES.—James Mitchell and Owen Hall, two unmistakeable rogues in appearance, and Thomas Fowler, a better-looking man, rather respectably dressed, were brought up at ,the Police-court, yesterday. Detective-officer Povey stated that, in consequence of the numerous robberies from houses whose occupants are "gone to market" or "out for the summer;" he and lif!Culloch were sent out on particular duty on Saturday morning. About half-past ten o'clock they saw Mitchell and Hall " dodging" about a house in Egerton-street, which was robbed ,that morning. They were well disguised, and Mitchell was carry- ing a black stuff bag. After trying both ,the front and back doors of that house, they (the officers) saw them go lo the house of the schoolmaster of St. James' Schools, near Parlia- ment-street, and try that. The officers then posted them, selves amongst the shrubs of St. James's Mount, where they had a distinct view of the rogues' manoeuvres. After seeing enough to satisfy them that there was "something in the wind," the detectives made a " descent" Posey suc- eeeded in pouncing upon Hall, but M'Culloch had a chase after Mitchell through several streets, and the latter was captured in 'St. George's-square, by Inspector Murphy, who happened to be there, as he said "quite promiscuous," on other business. Povey took Hall into a public-house in Tithebarn-street, and searched him. He found an enor- mous bunch of skeleton keys, a screw driver, and other housebreaking implements. One of the keys fits the door of a house in Windsor-street, robbed last week of about £lOO worth of property, and the chisel fitted the marks in both the drawers and wardrobes that had been opened in it. Another key fitted a house where £4O worth of property was taken a few days ago ; another the front door of the house of the schoolmaster already referred to ; and another key fitted the back door of the house of Captain J. N. Forbes (so well-known for his Australian voyages), at No. 98, Windsor-street, which was "marked" to be robbed that night. Detective Carlisle searched Hall's lodgings, at 14, Lawrence-street, where he found two more skeleton keys, concealed in a piece of paper, at the top of a cupboard. At Mitchell's lodgings in Gerard- street, a gold stud was found, similar to a set stolen from the house in Egerton-street ,on Saturday morning. The black bag which he was carrying, contained a shawl as " a blind," in case of an awkward inquiry, One or two female witnesses were called, who identified both prisoners as persons whom they had seen lurking about the houses robbed on the day of the occurrences. Inspector Murphy said that after he had consigned Mitchell to the Police-office, in Dale-street, he came out and saw Fowler standing near the door, as if interested in the fate of the prisoners. He seized him suddenly, and found in his pockets a gold watch- case and pawn tickets for two gold watches, probably stolen at the races, and of which he could give no satisfactory account. Mr. Bluck, attorney, who appeared for the prisoners, asked Murphy if he did not know that Fowler was a watchmaker ? Murphy : Aye, and something more. (Laughter.) He has stolen watches. Povey produced the " implements" found upon the psis o ners. Mr. Bluck : Do you call those skeleton keys ? Pore : Yes, and very good ones, too. Mr. Bluck : , They are very rusty. Povey : Perhaps, they haven't been much in practice lately. (Laughter.) Mr. Blink : And are they not used by other persons besides the prisoners ? Povey : No. Whitesmiths use them- for a particular purpose some- times. The prisoners were all remanded, as Inspector Murphy said he had no doubt he could obtain further evidence.

DIOCESE OF CHESTER. PREFEEMENT.—The Rev. Edward Pearson has been licensed by the Lord Bishop of Chester, to the Stipendiary Curacy of St. Martin's Church, Liverpool, upon the, nomination of the Rev. Cecil W-ay, the incumbent. SALE CA truc.d.—The Lord Bishop of Chester has renewed the license for the performance of divine service in this church for another year. It is expected however that the necessary preliminaries to consecration will be very shortly completed, and that this important ceremony will not be long delayed. DIOCESE Or MANCHESTER.—APPOINTMENTS :—The Rev. John Graham Hollingworth,-B.A. to the Perpetual Curacy of Coppull, in the parish of Standish, near Wigan, on the nomi- nation of the Rev. William Harper Brandreth, rector of Stan- dish, the patron, vacant by the death of the Rev. Henry Worsley Jackson, the late incumbent. ME Rev. Fielding Ould, A.M., is, we understand, about to leave Liverpool, having had conferred on him the Rectory of Tattenhall, worth about £330 per annum, with a rectory. house and a small glebe, situated about ten miles from Chester. OPEN-AIR PREACHING.—The Rev. B. Addison, Rector of Collyhurst, Manchester, is carrying on open-air preaching in his district with increasing success. THE Bishop of London has interdicted a sacred concert in one of the churches of the metropolis, in aid of the school and organ funds, on the ground of the "indecency of making any charge to an edifice devoted to Divine worship, according to the forms of the Established Church." PRESENTATION TO A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. H. Lomas, -is about to be presented with an elegant silver inkstand, by the candidates for the late confirmation in Walton district. It has been manufactured by Mr. John G. Jacob, silversmith, Church-street, and is now on view for a few days in his win- dow. It has an elegantly-pierced round stand, bearing the crest of the reverend gentleman, and inscription—" Presented to the Rev. Holland Lomas, RA., by the Candidates for Con- firmation belonging to Holy Trinity Church, Walton Breck, as a mark of their affectionate esteem. Liverpool, A.D., June, 1855." THE INCUMBENCY of GR_E.AT 01?0SBY, IN the York Ecclesiastical Court on Tuesday, the case of Myers v. Clarke was heard. Mr. Blanchard was advocate, and Mr. Mills proctor for the promoter, and Mr. Shepherd was advocate, and Messrs. Lawton, sen., and W. Lawton, were proctors for the defendant. This suit was brought by letters of request from the diocese of Chester, the office of the judge being promoted by John Myers, Esq., of Crosby-house, Great Crosby, near Liverpool, against the Rev. Joseph Clark. of Lunt, in the parish of Sefton, in Lancashire, of which parish he is now curate, under the Rev. R. Rainshaw Rothwell; the rector, and had been so for twenty-five years. From the statement of Mr. Blanchard, it appeared that Mr. Clarke had been presented to the incumbency of Great Crosby, and that rumours having reached the ears of Mr. Myers, one of the principal inhabitants of that place, respecting Mr. ark's alleged propensity for intoxicating liquours, he felt it his duty to bring the matter before the court. It had been admitted that the clerk, Thomas Williams, had a public-house, near the church-yard, and that the custom had been for the clergy- man to go there before and after christenings and funerals, and take a glass of spirits, or something of that kind. A general charge was made, and particular instances were ad- duced by the witnesses in which, during the years 1853 and 1854, the defendant was said to have been in a state of drunkenness, and had staggered to and fro. Mr. Blanshard, therefore, prayed that Mr. Clark might be canonically cor.-- rected. _ Mr. SICEPTIERD, in praying that his client might be dis- missed from this suit, delivered a long address. He would say, with unbounded confidence, that whilst this was one of the most painful cases a court could investigate, it was a case in which there was not the slightest ground or foundation for the charge which had been made. He denied there was any truth in the allegation brought against the defendant, and one of the parties who had given publicity to the accusa- tHinenlahma de lamented dn that deci d3,eafr.hiryne irsnrYhatcl hovenot applied to the tYfdliinsab; to have a commission appointed to inquire into this matter, by which an enormous expense and great delay might have been avoided, and he also regretted that Mr. Myers had not done something by way of atonement for the charge which had been preferred. Mr. Shepherd then went through the whole of the evidence, noticing the great amount of testimony there was to rebut the accusation of intemperance, besides that of the defendant himself, and to prove that, except at the christening of his eldest child, when he became, unintention- ally, a little elevated, he had invariably being an abstemious and temperate man. It was also shown he was a zealous, amiable, and kind-hearted man—a man, as one of the witnesses described it, in whom there was no guile—a man who was generally loved and esteemed in his parish—a man in whose religious teaching his parishioners had confidence, and one who was constant in his attendance upon the sick. He was a person, however, of a curious and staggering gait whilst walk- ing, which might give rise to the impression that he was in liquor when he was perfectly sober, and he frequently had a swimming in the head after he had been preaching. He had likewise a scorbutic affection in the face, which did not arise from drinking. These circumstances might have given the witnesses a colourable reason for having fallen into the mis- take which they had done. _ Mr. Blanshard having replied, the Chancellor, after stating his reasons at some length for having come to the conclusion he had done, dismissed the case, leaving both parties to pay their own costs. A nomination had, previous to these proceedings, been pre- sented to the Bishop of Chester, through Mr. Brabner, Mr. Clark's solicitor. COURT AND FASHION. HEIL MAJESTY has appointed Miss Fanny Cathcart, second surviving daughter of the late Sir George Cathcart, to be one of her Maids of Honour. Tan visit of his Majesty the King of the Belgians to this country will, it is understood, be prolonged to the end of the present week. _ HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PARIS, which had at first been intended to take place on the 2nd of August, is now defini- tively fixed for_ the 17th. Parliament will, of course, be prorogued before Her Majesty's departure. Mn, Pussy, of Pusey, formerly M.P. for Berks, died at his brother's residence, Christ Church, Oxford, on Tuesday after- noon, after an illness of several months' duration. The Puseys are said to have been settled at Pusey prior to the Conquest, and to have held that estate by cornage or the service of a horn, under a grant of Canute. Camden and Fuller mention this circumstance. The horn is still preserved at Pusey. AN INCIDENT TO ROYALTY.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent embarked from Southampton docks, on Friday, on board the Fairy, Captain Crispin. Just as her Royal Highness embarked an incident occurred which caused some little sensation and amusement. A respectably-dressed elderly gentleman, wearing a profusion of rings, evidently of great value, and carrying a cane, the top of which was set majestically that hehad wk gwainthgwhauy adaalpresent thethe ed down for Queen, which " he wished presented by her august mother." ge into precious the Fairy, statingnes Sir George Couper's attention was instantly drawn to the circumstance, who politely bowed the gentleman ashore, inti- mating that he must take some other method of communicating with the Queen. The gentleman, much chagrined, retired into one of the offices of the docks, and calling -for pen, ink, and paper, hastily wrote a letter, which he declared he would immediately post to Osborne ; and, having sealed it with a .4.tt. VI UV 11..,..aa avowedly for that purpose. DEATH OF REAR-AMID:LAM SIR W. E. PANEL—This distinguished and most estimable officer, born in 1790, died at Ems, in Germany, on Sunday week, at half-past ten. He had held the post of Lieut.-Governor of Greenwich Hospital since the 19th December, 1853, and while in that institution gained the universal esteem and respect of all with whom he was associated. In every relation of life he was exemplary. As the commander of four Arctic expeditions he gained high pro- fessional renown, and as a parent and Christian was equally estimable. The following epitome of his services is from the " New Navy List ."—Sir W. E. Parry, •mid. of Vanguard, in the Baltic, engaged with Danish gun-boats, 1808-9. Lieut. of Hogue, and in 1814 served in the boats at capture of three American privateers, and destruction of naval stores at Petti- page Point.

TnE QUEEN AT ALDERSHOT.—The Queen paid her first public visit to the encampment at Aldershot, on Tuesday. Her Majesty was accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Prince Consort, and their royal highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred. Her Majesty first drove through the Guard's quarters, and after making the circuit of this portion of the encampment, ascended the elevated plateau opposite Caesars' camp, where the whole of the troops at present en- camped were drawn up in review order. After Her Majesty had passed along the line, the royal party took up a position near the flag staff, on the saluting point, while the several regiments marched past in review order. As soon as the troops had defiled past, the Queen proceeded to the open ground where the various regiments formed in square allow ,ofstirie 55th Regiment, her majesty an opportunity of conferring the Crimean on three gallant men whose bravery at Alma and Teanikreilmedaanl and Sergeant Alexan- der sergeants at has led to their appointment as barrack left the camp shortly der Macdougal, of the 57th.

Still these and to Mr. , GREATLEY Solicitor, - -- - - 48, Castle-street, Li,ierpool are hardly legitimate reasons why the members of the House of Commons should stultify themselves by voting against their own convictions, and perpetuate the abuses of which we complain, by allowing Lord PALMERSTON and his colleagues to believe themselves indispensable, and that we cannot do without them. At any rate, they should not be allowed to go on with- out some efficient check on their proceedings, and this perhaps can best be effected by refusing further grants of supplies until the Ministers enter into direct and explicit statements of the course which they intend to pursue.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM. WHILE Conservative statesmen claim, and claim truly, great credit for the purity of their motives, the sincerity of their patriotism, and the high and honour- able principles by which they have been actuated in their public conduct, they have allowed themselves to be overreached by their political opponents in the de- tails of office and the exercise of patronage, which forms one of the strongholds of Ministerial influence. One of the movements of the day is the agitation for what is called Administrative Reform, got up chiefly, if not wholly, by Whigs and Radicals ; and yet the abuse of which they profess to complain is one of which Whigs and Radicals have been peculiarly guilty ; which they have even reduced to a system ; and which, indeed, constitutes the chief ground upon which that party has been so long enabled to keep in office. It has often perplexed observers, not in the secret, to understand how it is that the Whigs, enjoying so little of public sympathy, and being known to be actuated by thoroughly selfish motives in almost all their proceedings, should have continued so long to preserve an available majority in the House of Commons. The secret of their success is to be found in the organised system of patronage against which the Administrative Reformers profess to com- plain. From the year 1831, when the Whigs, under Earl GREY, attained their desires, down to the present time, they have laboured indefatigably and unceas- ingly to Liberalise the State, by filling up every avail- able vacancy with their own creatures. From the Primate of All England, down to letter-carriers and door-porters, Liberalism have been the passport to pro- motion ; while the workings of the system in its nu- merous ramifications have enabled many a seat for a borough to be purchased for a Radical and his vote to be purchased for the Ministry. It is this fact which accounts for the apparent anomaly between speeches against the Government and votes in their favour ; but the evil is of far greater extent, for so many places have been filled by Whig creatures---so much of the machinery of the State is carried on by officials of Whig appointment, that the Government in the hands of Conservatives has been rendered almost impracti- cable. It is this which accounts in some degree for the brief duration of the last Conservative Adminis- tration, and which may in some degree influence that change which so many members of the House of Commons appear to dread. There is a clamour for Administrative Reform, and why P Because the Whigs have had all the appointments, and they have preferred the incapables of their own party to the able men of the Conservative side. We want Adminis- trA4x,-, Ppform hill- ;1- chnuld ho a clear sweep of the doings of the last twenty years. If, then, the Govern- ment places were filled without reference to party, but solely with regard to personal qualifications and individual merit, we might hope to see the public affairs of the country conducted in a more efficient manner, and the ground cut from beneath the feet of the present agitators, who, on the plea of a plausible grievance, are endeavouring to forward those wild schemes known as Vote by Ballot, and Universal Suffrage. The country, no doubt, feels the evil con- sequences arising from Whig-Radical nepotism, and which never, perhaps, was more apparent than in that gross mismanagement which, last winter, almost annihilated the British army in the Crimea, The danger, however, now to be avoided is in choosing an erroneous remedy, the only effectual one being that which we have pointed out. It is from the Whigs that all the mischief has sprung, and the obvious remedy, therefore, is a return to Conservative policy not for the elevation of this or that .individual, but the promotion of those principles under which Grea Britain attained the pinnacle of national greatness, and without which no country can prosper. OUR LATE MINISTER TO VIENNA. WHEN Lord PALMERSTON despatched Lord JOHN RUSSELL as Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Conferences at Vienna, there is no doubt that the chief object was to get an unma- nageable colleague out of the way, in order to avoid inconvenient explanations. The characters of both had been so compromised, that the least that was said about their principles or their consistency would be the best for their ephemeral reputations, while the danger of recrimination was not beyond the bounds of possibility, considering recent antecedents. If, how- ever, the PREMIER really intended to destroy effec- tually the already damaged reputation of his Envoy, he could hardly have been more successful than in entrusting to him a mission in which duty and incli- nation have come into such violent collision. While the whole country was intent upon the objects of the war being gained—desirous for peace, but at the same time determined that conditions should not be yielded Incompatible with the prospect of peace being perma- nent—we find Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to whom the interests of the country had been so foolishly entrusted, not only entertaining proposals from Russia, which should have been immediately and indeed indignantly rejected as a palpable evasion of the object of the Con- ference, but actually recommending to his colleagues the acceptance of these proposals as sufficient concessions, Here then we have aproof from his own confessions that a member of the Cabinet, which is pledged to prosecute the war with vigour, is of opinion that we ought to have made peace according to the terms offered at Vienna ; and yet, while thus ostensibly differing in opinion with the rest of his colleagues on the subject of the greatest, if not of sole importance, as far as the present Admi nistration is concerned, he clung to office with *a tenacitywhich was essentially and peculiarly Whiggish. No wonder that even Radicals were disgusted with such political turpitude, and loudly demanded his dis- missal. It would be an effort of administrative reform far more useful than interference with the appoint- ment of treasury clerks, to go a step further and include the rest of the ministry in the condemna- tion, not for the temporary triumph of any party dis- tinction, such as have too often on previous occasions led to ministerial changes, but in order to justify the honour of the country from the obloquy which has recently attached to it through the trafficking of Whigs, Radicals and Peelites. There is hardly a vari- ation of political feeling which has not been attained by Lord JOHN RUSSELL at some period of his life, and yet, in spite of this political harlequinade, he has contrived by a species of tact peculiarly his own to keep himself in a certain position before the public eye,

A rise of 3d per bushel in the price of wheat, is to Is 6d per sack in the value of English flour, and 2s in the value of Spanish must be noted. Oatmeal was rather cheaper, and the same remark applies to English beans. Oats, barley, and Indian corn were neglected. PRESTON, JULY, 14.—There was very little wheat at the Corn Exchange to-day, and the farmers being very extravagant in their pretensions, the sale was slow. but ultimately all was cleared at about 6d per windle above the last quotations. Parcels in granary unaltered. Flour held for 6d to Is per pack more money. The general qualities of beans Is 6d per windle higher. Oats as last noted. Oatmeal dull, and only saleable in retail, without submitting to a further reduction of 6d. per load. WAKEFIELD, JULY 13.—Although the weather is fine the wheat trade remains very firm, and prices must be quoted is per quarter dearer, with a fair business doing. Barley and beans unaltered. Oats and shelling are again scarce, and were rather dearer to-day. WISBECH, JULY 14.—A small show of grain here to-day. The wheat trade was very slow in consequence of farmers insist- ing on an advance of is per quarter on last week's rates before they would part with their samples. Merchants were unwilling to comply with this to any extent, therefore very little business was done. No alteration in other articles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.—There was a small supply of wheat from the country, which sold readily at an advance of from is to 2s pet quarter over last Saturday's prices. The arrivals of wheat from the Continent have been heavy this week, and transactions amongts factors to-day have been limited at about late rates. No change in barley or oats. Flour the turn in favor of the seller. CORK, JULY 14.—Flour has only a retail sale, prime foreign becomes very scarce, and commands a price ; ordinary samples are in full supply, and the prices yield to buyers. Inferiors, under the competition from Egyptian flours, declined 6d to Is per cwt. Wheats, not much doing; the large arrivals have sensibly influenced the market, and millers must be tempted to purchase. Indian corn very flat, at 20s decline. DUBLIN, JULY 13.—Onr market to-day was extremely dull for wheat and barley, at barely the prices of Tuesday. Oats being scarce and wanted, were again 3d dearer. Indian corn exceed ingly heavy, though offered at a reduction of 3s to 4a per imperial quarter.

THE LATE LORD RAGLAN. Under date of the 29th, the correspondent of the Times has the annexed account of the death of Lord Raglan :--- Among the general orders promulgated yesterday afternoon was the following : The Field-Marshal has the satisfaction of publishing to the army the following extract from a telegraphic despatch from Lord Panmure, dated the 22nd of June : I have Her Majesty's commands to express her grief that so much bravery should not have been rewarded with merited success, and to assure her brave troops that her Majesty's confidence in them is entire. Within a few hours after this order had appeared, the elec- tric telegraph brought the melancholy and startling intelli- gence from head quarters to the various divisions that the Field-Marshal was dead. It would appear that he has lately —no doubt from the constant strain on his mental and bodily energies—been far from well, and the death of General Est- court, to whom he was much attached, the unsatisfactory result of the attack on the 18th ultimo, and the unhealthy weather since, broke down a constitution already enfeebled by age and long service. The following tells its own melancholy story : MORNING GENERAL ORDERS. Head Quarters before Sebastopol, June 29. No. 1. It becomes my most painful duty to announce to the army the death of its beloved commander, Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., which melancholy event took place last night about nine o'clock. No. 2. In the absence of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, the command of the troops devolves on me, as next senior officer present, until further orders are received from England. No. 3. Generals of divisions and heads of departments will be pleased to conduct their respective duties as heretofore. J. SIMPSON, Lieutenant-General. There is great feeling of regret evinced throughout the camp at the loss of Lord Raglan. His death appears to have at once stilled every other feeling but that of respect for his memory, and remembrance of the many long years he faith- fully and untiringly served his country. The cause of his death is stated to have been diarrhoea, which terminated in cholera. The body is to be conveyed to England in her Majesty's ship Caradoc, and will leave very shortly. It will, I hear, be accompanied by the whole of his late lordship's personal staff, whose duties will then, of course, cease. Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham will conduct for the present the duties of the Adjutant-General's office. We have now but very few generals left to command divi- sions or to act as brigadiers. Sir G. Brown left Kamiesch this morning for England ; he had, I believe, previously heard of the death of the Field-Marshal, but his medical advisers insisted on the necessity of his at once leaving the Crimea. General Pennefather, as you are aware, has been gone for some days. Generals Estcourt, Sir John Campbell, and Colonels Yea, Shadforth, &c., are no more. General Codrington, on whom the command of the Light Division now devolves, is in anything but a satisfactory state of health, and is at present on board of a man-of-war at Chersoneso. The division provisionally under the orders of Colonel Shirley of the 88th, the only colonel of the division who remains of those who led their gallant men from Kalamita Bay to Alma and Inkerman. General Barnard, it is under- stood, takes command of the Fourth Division, and, for the present, the duties of Brigadier-General will, with few ex- ceptions, devolve on the senior officers commanding regi- ments. The siege is " dragging on." The firing for the last two days or three has been a little more active on the part of the enemy, particularly at daylight. A report on the supply of water in the tanks of the different divisions has, I believe, been forwarded by the commanding engineer to head-quarters, and it is in contemplation, in consequence, to move a portion of the Land Transport Corps to the neighbourhood of Koranni ; but it seems to me that the supply, though not of the purest or most pellucid kind, is not reasonably, to be complained of, and continues in sufficiently ample abundance. Some little amount of unpopularity, I am told, has fallen on Sir Edmund Lyons, who hitherto has been the great favourite of all his officers. The Naval Brigade have been up here for many a long month of frost, snow, wet, cold, and privation. After weathering the past winter, they brought through their men in better condi- tion than any other corps in camp. No doubt many of the officers volunteered for this duty with the hope that they would obtain, as they have proved they deserve, their promo- tion. A "death vacancy" among the lieutenants occurred a few days ago in the Naval Brigade, and by the usual custom of the service, should have been conferred on one of those who had worked with it all along, but Sir Edmund Lyons selected for promotion a midshipman serving in the St. Jean d'Acre, who happens to be a son of Sir James Graham ; directed that a board should be held to pass him to his next step--that of a mate ; and before he had been in that rank a dozen hours signalled for him to come to breakfast, and handed to him his commission as lieutenant. I regret to hear that there are complaints on the part of the Commissariat and Land Transport Corps respecting the " navvies." It seems the term for which their services were engaged has expired, and they will now only work when they please, and have, in fact, become exceedingly idle. The consequence is, that the whole system of getting up provisions by the railway for the divisions in front is deranged, and much valuable time is lost in also bringing up shot and shell to the trenches. tion as yet determined upon, but we are employed in repairing and improving our works, to be in readiness to co-operate with the French when their approaches towards the Malakhoff shall be completed. The nominal returns of casualities from the 25th to the 28th inst. are enclosed. I am truly sorry to announce that Lieutenant General Sir George Brown departed for England this morning on medical certificate. _ . The 13th Light Infantry has arrived, and disembarked at Balaklava this morning. They will remain there for the present, to assist in the duties of the place, I have, &C.,_ JAMES Snirsoic, Lieutenant-General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, The following telegraphic despatches have been received by Lord Panmure, from General Simpson : CRIMEA., July 9. To-morrow I intend to open a heavy fire on the Redan. The health of the troops is satisfactory. Prince Gortschakoff proposes to me that we should exchange prisoners of war at Odessa. CRIMEA, July 11, 4.45 P.M. Our fire yesterday had good effect on the Redan. Cholera is decreasing, and the health of the army is satis- factory. CRIMEA, July 13. The operations of the siege are going on well. The health of the army continues satisfactory. PARIS, Thursday, 8 A.M. The Moniteur announces that the last despatches received from the Crimea are dated the 10th of July, 2 p.m. General Pelissier writes as follows to the Minister of War:— " I have nothing new to announce to you to-day. The firing has been very brisk during the whole of the day between the English and the Great Redan. This evening that work is very silent, consequently our allies will be able to advance their works." The Moniteur publishes despatches from Admiral Penaud, from the Baltic. PARIS, Saturday, July 14, 8 a.m. The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from Gene- ral Pelissier JULY 12, 11 p.m. According to the report of a deserter, Admiral Nachimoff was killed by a ball in the forehead yesterday morning, in the Central Bastion. We are consolidating ourselves in the new approaches. The construction of the batteries of Careening Bay is car- ried on with all the zeal which distinguishes our artillery. The Times has received the following telegraphic despatch from its Marseilles correspondent : MARSEILLES, July 14. The Caire, which left Constantinople on the sth inst., has arrived. Despatches leave at 8 p.m. The news from the Crimea is to the 4th. It was announced that 40,000 Russians were advancing on Baidar. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

A petition was presented by Lord HOTIIAM from the Corporation of the Trinity House, Hull, praying to be heard by counsel against clauses in the Merchant Shipping Amendment Bill, before a select committee. After some routine business had been disposed of, and several questions answered relative to the provision for officers' orphans, the retirement of officers on full pay, arrears of pay, and as to the alleged failure of the Enfield rifles, the latter of which was answered in the negative, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Sir H. WlLLotrainne, said it would be necessary to have a supplementary estimate for the Naval Department, which would be laid on the table before the end of the session. Some conversation then ensued relative to the alleged outrages by the police ; in the course of the remarks elicited, Sir G. GREY said a commission, consisting of the 'Recorder of London ; Mr. Armstrong, the Recorder of Manchester; and Mr. Henderson, the Recorder of Liverpool, had been appointed to examine into the case.—Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, who had instituted the present question, expressed his satis- faction with the names which had been mentioned. THE DISTURBANCES IN BELGRAVIA.—Mr.WILSON having moved that at its rising the House be adjourned till Monday, in answer to a question from Lord H. VANE, Sir G. GREY said no information had been received which could lead, with any degree of certainty, to the conclusion that there would be a repetition of ontraopc: on cundu.y. He expressed his opinion that the frequent repetition of these questions had a tendency to excite the public mind, and to lead to those excesses which it was their object to avoid. SUPPLEMENTAL ESTIMATE.—Mr. DISRAELI wished to know, as it had been stated that a large supplemental estimate would be wanted before the end of the Session, whether the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, when he contracted for the last loan, had engaged that no further sum should be raised this year in the same manner.—The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had entered into an engagement that no further loan should be entered into till all the instalments were paid. He did not wish to convey to the house that there was any intention of resorting to a loan, at all events till the end of December.—The motion for adjournment was agreed to. Lady Raglan and Lord Raglan's Annuity Bill was read a third time and passed. The house then went into committee on the Tenants' Com- pensation (Ireland) Bill. A protracted debate took place on the clauses, which gave rise to several divisions. Some of the clauses having been sustained, the chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. THE STAGE CARRIAGES' BILL was opposed by Mr. SCHOLEPIELD, who moved that it be read a second time that day three months, because a clause .had been introduced into it which had been originally inserted in the Friendly Societies' Act, and having been struck out of that measure, it was in- serted in the present bill.—Mr. MAsTERmAx seconded the amendment.—Lord JOHN MANNERS considered the opposi- tion was quite justifiable, and he should lend all his assistance to it.—Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY should like to know on what principle the Board of Inland Revenue had made com- positions for mileage duty, by which, in certain cases, it was reduced to a ld., instead of lid. per mile ? That was the case with Horne's omnibuses from Charing-cross to Euston- square, which paid ld. a mile, while others running the same road paid lid., yet this was the proposal intended to be carried out by the sixth clause.—Mr. HORSPALL hoped the bon. member for Birmingham would not persevere with his motion, as he (Mr. Horsfall) had given notice of a motion to omit the sixth clause. It was his intention to proceed with that mo- tion, that the country might see who those members were that would pass such a clause as this.—Mr. WILSON ex- plained, Mr. SCHOLEFIELD withdrew his motion, and the bill was read a second time. Some other bills were forwarded a stage ; the orders of the day were disposed of, and the house , adjourned at half-past one o'clock. FISCAL 'BURDENS OF THE CLERGY. CHuxcs property at this day is looked on with very jealous eyes by many of our legislative bodies, and elsewhere. It is needful, therefore, that its bearings should be understood, that the analogies and distinctions between secular and eccle- siastical property be well defined, that the various charges that detract from the latter should be fully recognised before others are imposed, or before the incomes of the clergy, aacscaoVaiinlagblteo pthr oep evrutlyg a byes ye s timesoi_aatao2f2ttheiruvr alc hu-er,e faorremdeera .t v cT-itooh many who talk on these subjects have never seen an incum- bent's balance-sheet at the end of the year, nor have any notion of the small amount which is often left for private ex- penditure. They judge from a few isolated cases of wealth, without any true comprehension of the large proportion of the clergy, who, though in possession of a gross income, which sounds well, yet really live on their private means ; and, if dependent only on the Church's offerings, must present to the world a very different figure to what they do. It is time, however, that we appeal to facts and individual instances, which may bear out our general remarks. A few such instances, by no means peculiar or selected ones, have been kindly supplied for our use by incumbents whom we can fully trust, and who, on public grounds, have aided our in- quiries, with the fervent hope that some remedy may be found for the hardships which they experience in themselves, and see in others. The many separate grievances, which form the aggregate of fiscal and other burdens exclusively borne by the clergy will, in the course of this article, be considered under distinct heads ; but, in the first instance, we shall lay before our readers two or three examples, as they have beenforwarded to us, of their total amount, the income being also stated out of which they have to be paid. Persons who are not ac- quainted with these charges will be rather startled at their enormity, and wonder how it is that the rural clergy of our Church get on as well as they do ; a wonder great indeed, if not explained on grounds already stated. The first case we bring forward is that of a living in the diocese of Exeter, the tithes of which were commuted at £620, and produced, therefore, in the year 1853 (after the deduction on corn averages) £558, which, with glebe, &c., estimated at £5O, made the gross value of the benefice to be £6OB. The payment, out of this living for the year in question, the first of incumbency, were as follows, before • any income was left for private expenses : £. s. d. Stamp fees and charges in institution First fruits . 43 17 9 Tenths Poor-rate (this item unusually small) Highway rate Income tax (7d. in the £.) . 12 15 4 Land and house tax .. 317 0 To Queen's Anne's bounty loan for building house... 38 0 0 Collection and losses Repairs of parsonage, &c, . .

THE BALTIC. The Paris papers of Saturday publish the following tele- graphic despatches : STOCKHOLM, July 13. An authentic report announces that on the sth inst. the English bombarded and set fire to Lovisa, a small town in the duchy of Finland, on the gulf of the same name, situated at about 60 kilometres from Helsingfors. The town was com- pletely destroyed. HAMBURGH, July 14. The town of Lovisa, in Finland, was bombarded and destroyed by the English on the sth inst. Lovisa (says the Journal des Debats) is a town of about 6,000 inhabitants, situated on the coast of the Gulf of Fin- land. It was built in 1746, under the name of Degesby, which name it exchanged for Lovisa in 1752. THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES AND FLAGS OF TRUCE. ON the 29th of June, a steamer left Cronstadt with a flag of truce, and steered for the allied fleet. A boat from the Duke of Wellington pulled alongside, and in that boat an officer was sent with a despatch from the Russian Minister of War to the English Admiral, informing him of the determina- tion arrived at by the Russian Government regarding com-. munications with the Anglo-French fleet in the Baltic. That determination was expressed in the following terms : " Flags of truce will only be received on three points— namely, Cronstadt, Sweaborg, and Revel. "Vessels bearing a flag of truce must hoist a white flag of large dimensions, and cast anchor beyond long range, and wait until a boat goes alongside to receive a written message from them. " I must inform you, M. l'Admiral, that the Imperial Go- vernment has resolved not to recognise a flag of truce on any other point than those abovementioned, or without the strict adhesion to the rules herein laid down." After consulting with the French admiral, Admiral Dundas sent a reply, in which he said : " I take the liberty of informing you that I am ignorant of the circumstances with respect to the conduct of my officers whicmay have given rise to restriction of communications by flags of truce as hitherto practised in the present war. - I am perfectly aware that it is customary to hoist a white flag of sufficient size, and I also admit the necessity of not ap- proaching within range of the guns of a fortress without per- mission, or nearer any other point than may be necessary to attract attention ; but the time and place where such commu- nications, under a flag of truce, may be thought indispensable depend upon the eirentnatanees of each individnal ease I admit, without reserve, that in most cases it is more suitable to send a flag of truce to a spot where it is likely to meet with an officer of rank; and that, moreover, no advantage should be taken of such suspension of hostilities to accomplish, with- out danger, acts which could not have been done during actual hostilities. " By informing me that on the whole extent of the Russian territory from Tornea to Libau flags of truce are limited to the three points you have mentioned, you virtually increase the evils of war, and deprive both parties of those means of correspondence necessary even between enemies. " I regret that when such a notification was made to me no fact was mentioned which might have led me to make an inquiry into the conduct of those accused, and I am quite ready to institute an inquiry into the conduct of any officer pointed out to me as having violated a flag of truce. "As regards communications that may be sent to me, I refer you to the conditions you yourself have made, either to approach or display a flag of truce : a flag of truce will be received by the nearest vessel, and sent, as the case may be, to the senior officer, and I ask no other security than that which I may reasonably expect from the good faith and honour of the officers to whom you may think fit to entrust such sort of communications." To this reply, which challenges the Russians to the proof of any violation of the law of nations on our part, and throws on them the responsibility of the proposed departure from established usage, the French admiral has given his cordial assent. THE PARIS EXHIBITION of INDUSTRY. THE correspondent of the Guardian writes :—To make up for want of punctuality and grandeur of conception, the Exhibition of 1855 will, I think, ultimately be allowed to have greatly the advantage of its predecessor in the value and beauty of its productions. The new portions have proved fully equal to the expectations entertained respecting them, and it is impossible to deny that no other country in the world save France has the power of displaying such a collec- tion of luxury and elegance as that now exhibited within the circles of the panorama. Any attempt at description would be wholly unavailing. I will merely niention that the furni- ture displayed in the outer circle by the Faubourg St. Antoine far exceeds in richness and costliness anything exhibited in England. It bespeaks, indeed, a luxury almost frightful to contemplate, and certainly of a kind which no fortunes in France can be justly adequate to support. Few of your readers, probably, can have overlooked or forgotten the beautiful sideboard of Fourdinois, of the Four Quarters of the Globe, exhibited in London. Beautiful as was the carving, it was insignificant compared to the treatment of the same subject by Ribaillier in the present Exhibition. The personages, large as life, have all the vigour of the finest productions of the sculptor's chisel, while the finish of every part of the work is unrivalled. The whole is carved in walnut- wood of a rich colour. The cost to the maker was upwards of £1000; the price put upon it will be from £14,000 to £15,000. The fashion of introducing bronzes d'art into furniture pre- vails just now; you see bookcases richly sculptured, into the panellings of which are inserted, in bronze, copies of the Gates of Ghiberti, or other costly and elaborate subjects. A favourite piece of furniture is a cabinet of arms, for the display of ancient and modern weapons, either of war or the chase. An especially beautiful specimen represents on each side a falconer; and a fisherman, of really marvellous execution, so free is the:action with which the one throws up the bird and the other handles the net. The panels of this cabinet are exquisitely painted with emblematical figures on a gold ground. The design and effect of the whole is elegant and rich in the extreme. But it would be useless to go on ; the style and costliness of this ex- travagant collection of furniture is such as does not exist, and is hardly known out of this country. In the inner circle the imperial manufactures bid defiance to all competition, as well they may. Since the day when Jean Gobelin founded the Gobelins in 1450, it has been backed by the whole strength of the Govern- ment,for four hundred years,regardless of expense. The cartoons of " Paul and Barnabas at Lystria," and of the " Miraculous Draught of Fishes," the portraits after Titian, and various other productions, are wonders in tapestry. Nor are Beaunois or Aubusson one whit behindhand. A magnificent carpet is displayed, a present from Louis Napoleon to the Pope. The wreath around it is entwined with the names of Napoleon's victories; at the bottom is written les dix commandments; and immediately above is, first the triple crown and keys, and then the imperial crown and cipher; rich garlands form the centre upon a field of bees. The Sevres vases are of extra- ordinary beauty of form and material, and the landscapes and subjects painted on them of equal merit. A baptistery also attracts great attention ; it is asked whether it be intended for a future and hoped-for Ring of Rome. There are enamels which have nothing to envy in those of Bernard Palissy. Amongst other objects is a state dinner-service, commanded by the Emperor, and just terminated after three years' labour. Though only electro-plated, the covering of silver is so' solid, and the chiselling so rich and highly finished, that the cost of the whole has been £32,000. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The traffic for the week ending July 1, 1855, was as follows :—Passengers, parcels, &c., £3,645 17s. 2d. ' • steam-boats, £625 14s. 10d. ; goods, £1,676 17s. 11d.

Wholesale Warehouse, 26, Bride-lane, London. PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY. At the meeting of the House, Lord SHAFTESBURY stated, that, at the urgent request of the Bishops of London and Oxford, he should postpone his bill until Monday, the 16th. THE MASSACRE AT HANGO.—The Earl of MALMESBURY directed attention to the despatch of General de Berg, vindi- cating the massacre at Hango. He requested to know what course government intended to pursue in the matter.—The Earl of CLARENDON said the letter referred to was most unsatisfactory, and added that Admiral Dundas had been ordered to demand the immediate release of the prisoners. A communication had also been made, through the Danish government, on the subject, with the Russians. Till answers to these demands had been received, government could not say what course it would adopt.—Lord CAMPBELL said there could be no doubt that the Russians had been guilty of a most flagrant breach of the law of nations.—Lord COLCHESTER, without offering any excuse for the Russians, expressed a hope that this event would render our naval officers more careful in communicating with the enemy by flags of truce. In answer to a question from the Earl of Malmesbury, Lord CLARENDON said there were grounds for hoping that a cartel for the exchange of prisoners will 'speedily be arranged. The Victoria Government Bill was read a second time. THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.—The Marquis of CLA.N- RICA-EDE moved for a return of all persons employed in the diplomatic service, and expressed an opinion that the attacks so frequently made on that branch of the public service were unfair and unfounded.—The Earl of CLA.RENDON had no ob- jection to the production of the returns.—Lord GueNvlLLs took the occasion to defend himself from some attacks which had been made upon him in the Lower House with regard to certain diplomatic appointments made by him when Foreign Minister. Lord MA.LxasstruY deprecated any attempt to remove the patronage of the Foreign-office from the control of the Foreign Minister for the time being.—The returns were then agreed to, and the matter dropped. Some other business was despatched, after which their lordships adjourned.

Tlie attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi- ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates:) Liverpool, December Bth, 1854. " We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very highly satisfactory experiments at Milners' Phoenix Safe Works, proving the perfect security of their newly-patented ' Gunpowder- proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the same open with gunpowder ; the door of another safe, experi- mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock, although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-bole.— Wm.

',SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL, ST my little darling, with Patty Barclay and Priscilla Bail, were introduced to her. I was present, and not a little anxious on account of my girl, who kissed the queen's hand with so much grace that I thought. the Princess Dowager would have smothered her with kisses. Such a report was made of her to the king, that Miss was sent for, and afforded him great amusement by saying, `that she loved the king, though she must not love fine things, and her grandpapa would not allow her to make a curtsey.' Her sweet face made such an im- pression on the Duke of York, that I rejoiced she was only five instead of fifteen. When he first met her, he tried to persuade Miss to let him introduce her to the queen ; but she would by no means consent till I informed her he was a prince, upon which her little female heart relented, and she gave him her hand—a true copy of the sex. The king never sat down, nor did he taste anything during the whole time. Her majesty drank tea, which was brought her on a silver waiter by brother John, who delivered it to the lady in waiting, and she presented it kneeling. The leave they took of us was such as we might expect from our equals ; full of apologies for our trouble for their entertainment—which they were so anxious to have explained, that the queen came up to us, as we stood on one side of the door, and had every word inter- preted. My brothers had the honour of assisting the queen into her coach. ' Some of us sat up to see them return, and the king and-queen took especial notice of us as they passed. The king ordered twenty-four oflis guard to be placed opposite bur door all night, lest any of the canopy should be pulled down by the mob, in which (the >canopy, it is to be presumed,) there were one hundred yards of silk damask. The preceding narrative is pleasing from its simplicity and interesting in its minuteness. It is a good illus- tration of the kind of matter with which the book 'abounds; although, unfortunately, the minute delinea- tions by which it is filled are not always, scarcely even generally, of so pure, so peaceful, and so innocent a character. As it approaches the middle and latter period of Queen Charlotte's life, the incidents become more complicated, and lose their simplicity without gaining in interest. Concerning the last Queen Con- sort of the Brunswick line—the second Caroline—wife of George IV., Dr. Doran says much, and it must be admitted generally in a fair spirit. On this subject, howeVer, with its perplexing and unpleasant details, we shall not enlarge. It has been so frequently before the public, and has of late received such painful amplification in the " Malmesbury Papers," as well as through other means of communication, as to afford as little room for novelty of illustration as the topic pre- sents but few features of an inviting character. In the two volumes under consideration, Dr. Doran has done no small amount of service in collecting and condensing a mighty mass of widely-diffused materials, which he has wrought up into a readable compendium. If the book lack some of the higher attributes of moral teaching, which the subject is capa- ble of bearing, the fault is probably as fairly attribu- table to the subject treated of, as to the author ex- 'pounding it ; and the public will cheerfully acquiesce in according to that author the glory of a creditor, Both thanks and use. lie had previously conferred on them the privilege of spending many an hour with pleasure and with profit ; he now adds to the former obligations a work more systematic in its character than those he has hereto- fore produced. To say that it is not perfect, is not to reflect on Dr. Doran ; and to wish that it had been better than it is, is to do little more than express a hope that he will yet, and that ere long, come before us with a work more fully in accordance with the vigour of his intellect and the abundance of his re- sources. The Rag-Bag : a Collection of Ephemera. By N. Parker Willis. London : Triibner and Co. Few men have laboured with such remorseless assiduity in the collection of anecdotes and incidents illustrative of the weaknesses, puerilities, and pettish- nesses of great minds as Mr. Willis has, from time to time, exhibited for many years past. Having ex- hausted his resources in the collection of fresh material, he seems to have fallen back upon the trivialities which in his period of better luck fell acci- dentally in his way, and which, although not of suffi- ciently high flavour," or in connexion with parties whose names would bestow on them ready currency, were insufficient to warrant the committal of them to instant print, yet were, nevertheless, carefully bagged by the Yankee trapper, into whose net everything seemed fish that would come. In other words, having expended his " domestic gleanings" of such men as Wordsworth, Southey, Professor Wilson, Jeffrey, and other " men of might,", he appears now to be com- pletely "used up, ' and to rely upon desperate dips into his " game-bag" for whatever may chance to turn., up. Having transferred his collection-and- his pencil to the western sea-board of the Atlantic, he presents his readers with scraps and sketches- of men, mannevsp and scenery, as these have presented themselves-to his delineative eye in different places and on different occasions. For these avocations he• has- exhibited some genius and no limited ambition; his delineative skill will be readily recognised in the annexed sketelt.of

CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, JULY 16.—The supply of sheep and cattle to-day was full. The demand for sheep and lambs was good, and they were all sold at an early hour. Cattle were rather slow of sale, and some were undisposed of at the close. Beef was worth from 5d to 6d, mutton from 5d to 6id per lb. Cattle, 1,202 ; sheep and lambs, 17,199. SALFORD, JULY 11.—There being a much smaller show than last week, prices were considerably higher.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. of our enemies to depart as far as possible from the usages of civilized war. While war and political changes have agitated the great world, it is pleasing to observe that these matters have not entirely absorbed the general attention ; but that, on the con- trary, elevated rank, breaking through the trammels of con- ventional etiquette, and combining with humbler talent, has lent a grace to seasonable benevolence.. During the past week private theatricals, for charitable objects, have occupied an in- teresting position in the fashionable world, The drama, for the nonce, forsaking the play-house, has been naturalised in the mansions of the nobility; and the sock and buskin have been adjuncts to the furnishings of the drawing-room. On Tuesday afternoon a private theatrical entertainment was given at Grosvenor House, the proceeds of which were devoted to help the suffering poor; and on the evening of the same day, a dramatic entertainment, attended with the most entire, success, was given at Campden House, under the management of gr. CHARLES DICKENS, for the benefit of the Consumption Hospital. On Friday, the gallery of Bridgewater House was kindly set apart by the Earl and Countess of ELLESMERE, for the performance of some dramatic entertainments, the pro- ceeds to go in aid of the Hospital for Convalescents at Walton- on-Thames, the funds of which institution have suffered severe dilapidation through the failure of &murex, PAUL, and Co. In each of the three instances the benevolent efforts were crowned with gratifying success. The ordinary theatrical world is wagging pretty much as usual. At the Haymarket, Miss FAUCIT has made her first appearance before a London audience in Mr. TKEODORE MearlN's charming translation of "King Ildne's Daughter," and has, as might have been ex- pected, from the genuine beauty of the drama, and the parti- cular excellence of the ladles acting in it, produced a great sensation, It is not a little singular that, although Miss FAIICIT has frequently enacted the chief character in this piece with distinguished success• in the provinces, she should not, till the other night, have adventured it before the London critics. At the St. James Theatre, the celebrated tragedienne RAICICEL is to appear in several of her leading characters in the plays Of Les Horaces, Phedre, and Ancfromaque, commencing on the' evening of this day fortnight. On the conclusion of her engagement, she will proceed to Liverpool, whence she is to embark for America. In the pilblishin world some little stir has-been created by the appearance of H.A Vindication of Major-General the Earl of Loons from Lord kAGLAN't3 Reflections on his Conduct in the Action at Balaklala,,r which has been issued by HATCH- LED. In This version of the ease some new points• in. favour of Lord L-leArr have been well put, indeed, clearly esta- blished; particularly as it appears Lord RAGLAN changed the arrangements previtaisly madebetween Sir COLIN CA3II'I3ELL and Lord Luch.v, whereby tile' command of the cavalry Was virtually taken ont of hiS lordi,lip's hands.

SIB,--I went this afternoon to hear 'the Rev. -Dr; VNeile preach, as he had millet-Fixed his intention of doing, off the area in front of the 'Exchange; and it occurred to me, on re- turning, that I would commit a few thoughts to paper, for the chance of 'your deeming- them worthy of insertion in your journal. think I may-claim to be a*- impartial witness, inasmuch as the mooted point of street preaching was one freely discussed by the clergy of a town with which I was connected before I came to Liverpool ; and some of my brethren and myself had almost resolved-upon trying the. experiment before I left. I am not' about; . then, to enter an wholesale pretest against the practice, which seems to be sametioned, at least; if not recommended, in that part of the parable of the " great supper,— in which the master of the house is reprezented as saying, to his servants "Go out into the streets and lanes of the city, * * * into, the high ways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that- my house may befdled,"—and which certainly may claim very high precedent, as having been thO constant habits of Christ and: his Apostles. The-questions whieh I wish to solve are-Ist-A:low far was' the-place, occupied; by the Rev. Doctor this day, adapted for earry4kg out the practice To what proportion of his amblers was his address likely to prove edifyingurprofitable? -I own,. knowing the,strength of Lungs and power of elocution undoubtedly posses ed by the Preacher, I was nee prepared for the difficulty, which,.(in common with myself,).must have been experienced by at least- two-thirdsof the congregated mass who were .really anxious to hear what he• had to. say.. I gradually workectray way from.the outskirts-of the multitude; to within twenty yards,- or less), directly in front of the platform on which the Rev.. Doctor was standing ; .and even, at that short distance' / could onl3t hear a few ischtted words atintervals in each sentence. The-people about tne, after vain• .efforts to penetrate the dense phalanx had acquired:. a nearer position,. were • restlessly flitting _about, or in very audible murmurs.expressingltheir inability. to hear ; . thus.. rendering that inability_ still more-complete,. both, .to themselves And to their neighbours... nwhile, the confused . sounds from behind proved that vast numbers, were on the:spot, on the most charitable hypothesis, frora, mere curiasityi.without any wish, even, to hear a message from. God, .througlt the voice of mss, ambassador. The inferences which I drew were these ::The, place is too large—the crowd, innumbers, is, too unmanageable—and, if the pAysical power's of Dr. M`Neile are unable -to surmount these obstacles, no one else need attempt to do so. Street preaching, if it is to do any good, must have a iecaL ahn, It must not endeavour to draw together masses from various parts of a large town, in a space calculated to accommodate a great multitude ; ,but it must be practised in those particular streets, courts, or alleys, in which, without obstruction of public thoroughfares, the preacher may have full command over the audience which he has to address, arrest their attention, and, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit reach their hearts. Public advertisements,. I venture to' think, will net effect this. The street- Preacher, I humbly submit, should, by personal visitation, make known, in the locality in which he means-to preach, his intention of doing so; and should take all propemeans to prevent its being known generally. He may reasonably expect to receive a deferential attention from those wham he has personally in- vited; but, I cannot help thinking, where general publicity has been given, the number, of- idlers or curious persons, who will congregate togetherovill altogether thwart the good in- tentions of the preacher, and result in evil rather than good., I sanresult in evil; for a crowd, in Use(); unless under bene- ficial' control, is disposed-for mischief. Thieves-and adulterers will, perhaps invariably, mingle with it; and assuredly a crowd, the principal part of which cannot possibly come under• the beneficial influence which is supposed to preside over it,. will fail to derive any profit from its concentration, and, will almost certainly give occasion for the commission of much sin. Hence, I say, if we are to have street preaching, let us not aim at a popular demonstration. Let us remember that labour, diligence, and perseverance, are, ordinarily, as necessary to insure success in our profession—that of the Christian minis- try—as in any other ;—that we are not to look for miraculous agencies in this age, but for a blessing in proportion to the self-denying exertions which we personally make to secure the end which we have in view ; and that, while preaching is a mighty engine for good to those who are really brought under its influence, this class will consist,—not of those who idly congregate from motives of curiosity, or worse motives still,— but of those, for the most part, who, either from education, habit, or personal eontact with God's ministers, have been induced to become hearers of the Word. I inclose my card for your own information ; but I have a strong repugnance to controversy, and do not mean to enter into it. Should you insert this letter, and should it elicit a reply, I have no intention of making a rejoinder. I would only say with St. Paul, "Christ is preached, and I therein do rejoice yea and will rejoice."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sunday Night, July-16,1866. D. S.

BARTH.—Letters from Malta mention the arrival at the island of Mr. Giovanna Battista Galuiffi, Her Majesty's Consul at Mourzouk, up to the date of whose departure from Tripoli (in Barbary) on the 22d of June, Dr. Barth, hourly looked for, had not yet arrived from Boutnou, nor had any caravan come in from the interior by which tidings of him could have been con- veyed. ARREST OP A RUSSIAN AGENT AT DOVER.-At Dover, on Thursday, James Abrahams, a Polish Jew, supposed to be a Rus. sian agent, was brought up, charged with attempting to induce soldiers of the Foreign Legion to desert. Evidence was given by several of the soldiers and sub-ofiScers, that he had proposed to them to desert, and that he would give them £4 a man, and find them employment in France. He said he had already settled with twenty. The prisoner, who pleaded for mercy, on account of his wife and family, was remanded,

In a state of mind bordering on despair, she embraced the opportunity of taking Holloway's Pills, which were given to her by a benevolent lady, and this excellent medicine had so good an effect that she was induced to continue them for a short time, which resulted in her being restored to health. Du BARRY'S DELICIOUS REVALENTA ARABICA. FOOD invariably restores health, without medicine, inconvenience, or expense, as it saves fifty times its cost in other remedies. We extract a few out of 50,000 testimonials of cures, which had resisted all medicines. Cure No. 180.—" Twenty-five years' ner- vousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility, from which I had suffered great misery, and which no medicine could remove or relieve have been effectually cured by Du Barry's Food in a very short time.—W. R. REEVE, Pool Anthony,Tiverton." Cure No. 4,208.—" Eight years' dispepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms, and nausea, have been effectually removed by Du Barry's delicious food in a very short time.—Rev. JoHN W. PLAVELL, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk." Cure No. 1,784.—N0t expected to live six days longer, I was cured by Du Barry's admirable Health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Food.—MAD. DALENA PURVIS."

HORTICULTURE. FLOWER GARDEN—Go over the beds frequently, keeping the young shoots of verbenas, &c., nicely regulated and peg- ged down until the beds are fairly covered, after which, unless where the soil is very strong, or where it may be desirable to keep the masses as low as possible, the shoots of most varieties may be allowed to grow at liberty. Where the soil is of rather poor nature, and the progress of the plants not satisfactory, a few waterings with manure water would be useful in the way of inducing more rapid growth ; but this should not be given too strong nor too freely, otherwise it may do more harm than good, and in most cases such things make more wood than is desirable, nevertheless we have found manure water judiciously applied useful in giving backward plants a start. Keep the surface soil free, open, and clear of weeds by occasional stir- rings, and should the weather be such as to render watering necessary, do not let the plants feel the want of moisture at the root. See that dahlias and hollyhocks are tied as they ad- vance in growth, and keep these thoroughly supplied with water at the root, giving manure water where the ground was not well prepared. Look over roses and dip any shoots found to be infested with green-fly in tobacco-water. Also keep these well supplied with water at the root, which will greatly im- prove the flowers, as well as prolong the beauty of the plants, for.the flowers ,soon fade in bright hot weather when. the,. plants are allowed to get dry..‘at tbeliot. r Too much Manure.' water,can,hairdly.be, given'lliese,lespeciall4theitittpililblolim! ind milts, and nothing Better repays any':attentichiwhitlith-e-i may'require, for if kept • in -vigoroui- healtli,many;of.th'esoitsl will bloom almost continually until stopped by frost, but if al- lowed to suffer through dryness at the root they will bloom but sparingly in autumn. Watch varieties subject to mildew, and apply sulphur immediately the enemy is perceived, but if the plants are kept in' vigour by a liberal allowance of manure water there is little danger of mildew being troublesome. KITCHEN GARDEN.—Get Brussells sprouts, savoys, broccoli, and all kinds of winter greens planted out as speedily as ground can be obtained ; and where this cannot be done at present to the usual extent (owing to the backwardness of the season, and early crops not being ready for clearing off), see that the plants are either pricked out, or sufficiently thinned to allow of their growing dwarf and strong ; and if a goodly portion of old mushroom bed dung were mixed with the soil before pricking out, the roots would run into this, so that the plants might be removed with balls, and would hardly feel the shift. Also get leeks planted on strong, deep, heavily manured land, and attend to these, and all other newly planted things with water until they get fairly established. Give the aspara- gus plenty of manure water from the stable or farm-yard tank, in order to strengthen the roots after cutting and induce strong growth. On dry, friable soils a good dressing of salt may be applied with advantage : but this should not be given on strong tenacious soils, as it keeps the ground wet and heavy in winter, and decays the roots. Proceed with the planting out of celery as fast as ground can be spared, and see that the whole is liberally supplied with water. Some persons defer the soiling up of celery as long as it can be done, considering that there is less danger of its being eaten by slugs ; but if these pests are at all troublesome, they should be treated to a dose of quick lime every morning for a week or so, strewing it thickly along the trenches and about the plants, which will clear the ground of them, and then there will be no danger in adding a little soil occasionally to assist in retaining the moisture, and afford more space for the roots. Attend to the staking of late peas, and keep the ground thoroughly moist about advancing crops, and if the weather continues hot and dry, it will be advisable to mulch the ground along the sides of the line, first giving the soil a thorough soaking of water. See to keeping up a succession of French beans, also salad of all kinds, making a sowing of parsley for winter use.— Gardeners' Chronicle. CAUSE OF COLOURING IN PLANTS.—There is, perhaps, no subject of more interest than the cause of colouring in plants, it is one upon which till lately no very definite notions were possessed ; but it has at length attracted the attention of the skilful vegetable chemists of Geneva, and the phenomena relat- ing,to it are daily becoming more and more intelligible. It appears that the opinion long since expressed by Lamarck, that when leaves and fruit acquire their autumnal colouring they are in a morbid condition, and that flowers are, from their birth, in a state analogous to that of leaves in decay, is very near the truth. Taking the green colour so prevalent, and so frequently exclusive in vegetation, as the fundamental colour of plants, it appears that deviations from it are chiefly caused

The public sales in London commenced on the sth inst., and are progressing very :steadily at an average advance of 2d. to ld. per lb. on Colonial Wool; 70,000 bales will be sold this series, and the general opinion seems to be that the present advance will be supported throughout. The imports for the week are 6,096 bales, consisting of 2,308 bales Mediterranean ; 2,586 bales Peruvian ; 433 bales Buenos Ayres ; 256 bales East India ; 136 bales Por- tugal ; 255 hales Scotch : 65 bales coastwise; 57 bales Irish; total, 6,096 bales.

COMM.EI?CIAL and MONETARY NETVS. MONDAY NIGHT. WITH little of importance occurring during the week to affect the probabilities of the question with reference to the war, the Public Funds have experi- enced very little change in value, although towards the close of the week the tendency was rather down- ward ; arising, it is said, from a belief that Sir E. B. livrrox's motion would be successful, and lead to a resignation of Ministers. The change, however, was comparatively trifling ; the causes which would influ- ence a rise or a fall being so evenly balanced. Money, for commercial purposes, has been easy, there being no change in the low rates of discount on first-class paper which have recently prevailed. The Bank returns of Friday show a decrease in the stock of bullion of nearly half-a-million. This is, no doubt, owing to the large shipments of bullion which took place the week before last, as payments of the divi- dends had not then commenced. The Foreign Exchanges are now more favourable, and it is said that shipments to Paris have ceased, but the French loan will not be without its influence on monetary affairs between the two countries. It will be seen by the return that there is a large increase in the public deposits, preparatory to the dividends being paid ; but private deposits have considerably diminished, arising, doubtless, from the demand for gold, or the payment of deposits on the loan. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has announced his intention of asking for more money, but as no fresh loan can be contracted until the whole of the instalments on the £16,000,000 have been paid, no fur- ther operation of this kind will take place until December. The accounts 'rom Manchester report continued dulness, owing to the unwillingness to operate until some more definite opinion can be entertained as to the probable course of events ; but prices are on the whole fairly maintained, as the short supply of the raw material is not likely to be materially increased. The Woollen trade is moderately active, and, notwithstand- ing the large amount of wool offered at the recent sales in London, the tendency of prices is rather up- ward 'than otherwise. The return from the Bank of tnfr,land for the week ending the 7th of July gives the following results, when compared with the previous wtek Public Deposits Other Deposits Rest... ... £6.852,350; Increase ... £705,351 12;586,891; Decrease ... 847,858 3,177,665 ; Increase ... 37,598 'On the other side of the account:— Government Securities £1.3,757424; Increase ...£861,156 Other Securities .. 13,328,806; Decrease ... 168;637 Notes unemployed The amount of notes in circulation is £20,482,750, being an increase df £317,205, and the stock of bullion in both departmtnts is £17,584,066, showing a decrease of £434,509, when compared with the preceding return. srE DTPARTMENT.

The divisions in the ministry, 'too, have had something to do with the decline. At 'ihe settlement now in progress, from the public 'taking more largely.of stock than was expected, it has proved scarce, ,espeCially Lancashire and Yorkshire and-`Mid- land, the cantangoes upon which have dwindled materially since the opening of -the settlement.

OoTroN.—The market has been altogether Without animation, owing to the dulness which continues to prevail at 'Manchester ; but, as it is not at all likely that the present short supply will be materially ex- ceeded, =holders are firm, and there is %very little difference in prices. The •sale,g for the week, up to Friday, amounted to only `28,200 bales, of whiCh 3,920 were taken on speculation, -and 820 for export, leaving 23,460 for the trade. TO-I,AY, the sales were 7,000 bales, including 1,000 for speculation and export. The following is a comparison of present rates with those of the corresponding period last year :

STATE OF THE WOUNDED. In reference to this subject the correspondent of the Daily .News reports as follows : I am sorry to learn that a large proportion of the wounds received by our men in the affair of the 18th are terminating fatally. The awfully severe nature of grape-shot wounds, to be sure, gave reason to expect this ; though hardly, perhaps, to the extent in which the daily returns show it to be occur- ring. Round shot and shell wounds, from their extent, are in most cases fatal when received ; whilst those inflicted by grape or canister—though sadly extensive too—more frequently leave life in the sufferer, at least for a time. Still, a limb struck by either of these last can seldom be saved from amputation, and after the vast haemorrhage which must in the mean time have taken place, few systems can survive the operation. So has it proved in the cases of very many of those carried off the field on the 18th—after lingering on doubtfully for days they gradually sinking and dropping off one by one. Apropos of this subject of the wounded, however, in remarkable contrast to those who are daily succumbing, I may mention particularly one case which is considered of singu- larly great surgical interest—that of a young man named Palmer, a private in the 7th Fusiliers, who was shot through the left parietal bone by a Minie bullet on the morn- ing of the attempted storming. When carried into the field hospital, an hour or so after receiving the wound, the brain was actually protruding through an orifice in the skull large enough to admit of the entrance of the doctor's finger into the interior of the head in search of the ball. The surgeon assured me that he had to thrust his index finger to its full length within the brain, to discover the bullet and the portion of the skull which it had carried inwards with it. Neither, however, could be found, nor has yet been extracted. In the meantime the fractured bone is closing, and the patient con- tinues "alive and alike like," eating his prescribed food regu- larly, and displaying his wonted intelligence. By a large number of doctors who have seen it the case is considered one of the most remarkable in the history of modern surgery, and it certainly strikes an unprofessional looker-on as subversive of every preconceived notion of the brain—vulnerability. A few somewhat similar cases are, I believe, on record ; but in every one of them the sufferer died on or about the ninth day, whilst the individual to whom I now refer has at present every appearance of surviving, without at the same time sustaining any lasting cerebral injury.

36 This is a strange reception, sir, that my friends have given you. Allow me to explain our position. We are a party of amateur players, delighting in tragedy, comedy, or burletta, and performing French, German, and Italian with the greatest impartiality. To-day we have met here for the purpose of rendering Die Burgoineistre, but unfortunately have lost the services of our chief actor' (here he pointed to a gen- tleman whom I had not before observed, and who was lying upon Some cushions in the shade of a lime-tree). ' Our friend, who insisted upon walking part of the way, has sprained his ankle, and is utterly incapaci- tated for his theatrical duties. We have no other who can take his place, and if you would favour us by taking the character of Herman at so short a notice, we should all be most heartily obliged by your kindness.' There was something very winning in this gentle- man's address—something very new and vivacious in the situation—some very pretty bright-eyed girls among the company ; so I entered heart and soul into their little enterprise, and was received with acclama- tions as a newly enrolled member of their society. It happened, fortunately, that I knew a little of the comedy in question. I had seen it twice or thrice upon the stage at Frankfort, and had read it more than once while staying at a dreary village where there was scarcely any books to be got—therefore I did not feel quite so nervous as I otherwise might. And it was well that. I needed no great preparation, for in a very moments after my arrival the audience was marshalled in front ; the actors were assembled at the back of the theatre ; the signal was given; and the play began. I need not now stop to tell you what the piece was like, or whether the plot was sparkling, moving, or profound. It is enough if I say that our spectators wept and smiled alternately ; that our performers were all cordially in earnest ; and that your humble servant acquitted himself very creditably, considering that it was his first appearance upon any stage, and that he had to act with the book in his hand the whole time. The gentleman to whom the theatre seemed to belong ; a fair and dignified lady, whom I conjectured to be his wife ; a plain but intelligent-looking woman with dark eyes ; and the disabled performer, lying still upon cushions, occupied the front places upon the turf. Behind them sat the rest of the party, and the ser- vants stood or leaned against the trees at the back. I noticed, by the way, that our heroine, a lovely young woman, with the sweetest voice I ever remember to have heard, seemed particularly concerned for the invalid; that her eyes were certain to stray towards him at every pause in the dialogue ; that a gesture of ap- plause from his hand sent the quick colour flying to her cheeks ; and that in all her love-speeches and soli- loquies—especially in the former, where she should have addressed herself exclusively to me—her attention was sure to wander in that highly inappropriate direction. At length the curtain fell ; we joined the rest of the party upon the grass ; the servants busied themselves in spreading a cold collation on a shady bank under the lindens ; and we fell into a lively and general con- versation. We were very merry. We jested; we laughed; we chinked our glasses together ; and the slender- necked Rhine-bottles went swiftly round. The invalid nicknamed me his deputy, and challenged me to take wine with him. Your health, Herr Deputy,' said he, gaily, as he drained the glass. This .old Johannisberger is like a poem of Schiller's or Wieland's—the older it is, the higher its flavour. Viva it vino. You do not include Kotzebue in the compliment, Wolfganc, !' said our entertainer, with a meaning smile. Kotzebue I' echoed the other with a wry face. Kot- zebue ! I should say not, indeed. He is more quack than poet, and. more conceited than a peacock. He finds only himself wherever he goes ; and when he arrives at a place, he gives himself not the slightest trouble about heaven or earth, air or water, animal or vegetable. He beholds nothing but 'his own sayings and doings ; even at Tobolsk, he is perfectly certain that all the people are occupied either in translating his plays, studying, acting, or, at the very least re- hearsing them 1' There was something remarkable in the appearance of this young man, and I could not keep from looking at him as he lay extended on the grass, his fine head resting on his hand. His countenance was both hand- some and intelligent, his nose and mouth beautifully formed, his forehead high, and his eyes a brilliant SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. black, like those of an Italian. Yet it was scarcely so much the actual features, as the noble character and expression of his physiognomy, that most impressed me ; and I listened to his impetuous and earnest speaking with an interest for which I was puzzled to account. ' Kotzebue,' said the plain lady, who was now seated next to me, ' is the delineator of manners rather than of men.' Say the delineator of crime, Madame !' exclaimed the other. The corruption and profligacy of the higher classes is the line in which Kotzebue excels. True beauty of character possesses no charm for him ; and man as he ought not to be, is held up before us, in preference to man as he should be. Kotzel4ue can- not appreciate the true grandeur of the mission of the human being upon earth. Man was the first dialogue that nature held with God. It would be impossible for me to describe the im- pressive tone in which these last words were uttered. They thrilled through my frame like the vibration of a string, and I observed that the rest were all listening respectfully, and looked similarly affected. Woolfgang requires every writer to possess so much originality,' said the gentleman, that nothing pleases him. I often congratulate myself that I never at- tempted to manufacture a play or a poem, for I know he would have criticised it without mercy !' Originality is but a word,' said the excitable Wolf- gang, who seemed to delight in startling paradoxes. ' There is no originality. The greatest genius will never be worth much, if he pretends to draw entirely from his own resources. There are some philosophers who fancy, that by remaining shut up in their study for thirty years without once looking into the world, andexclusively occupied in sifting their own poor brains, they shall find an exhaustless spring of original, grand, and useful conceptions ! Do you know what comes out ? Clouds : nothing but clouds !' For all that,' said the lady whom they called Madame, there can be no genius without some of that originality which you affect to despise.' `Pray then, Madame, can you tell me what genius is, if it be not the faculty of seizing and turning to ac- count everything that strikes us ; of co-ordinating and breathing life into all the materials that present themselves ; and of taking here marble, there brass, and building a lasting monument with them ? A work of genius puts into requisition the works of nature and man, supplied by a thousand different persons and a thou- sand different things. The learned, the ignorant, the wise, and the foolish, bring to it unconsciously the offer- ing of their thoughts and their experience. They sow the harvest which is reaped by the poet, thephilosopher, the historian, and a great literary chef-d'ceuvre is an aggre- gation of beings taken from the whole of nature, and bearing the name of Plato or Shakspeare. Believe me, to be great we must be social. Hercules needs to be fed ; and it is only by mingling with astrologers, botanists, chemists, mathematicians, builders—whom you will.= that the author can collect his raw materials. It is for this reason we find the most truly great characters surrounded by their fellow-men, Plato and Socrates were no hermits ; and Bacon, Camoens, Boccaccio, Dante, were dwellers in cities. ' There, I believe you to be in the right,' said Madame, smiling. ' For myself, I confess lam only vulnerable on the side of Paris, and I think I owe much to that weakness.' Much ! nay, Madame, go one step further, and say —all. It were impossible to say where, or in what object, or trade, or science, ideas the most foreign and opposite to that object, trade, or science, may not be derived. I have seen minerals, mosses, fishes even, that have afforded me the most valuable psychological and physiological hints. These things are the Signa- tures of Nature, and he who can decipher them may well afford to dispense with the Written and the Spoken.' It is true,' observed the other young man, who seemed to listen rather than converse—' it is true that a yet undefined chain of relationship appears to run from art to art, from science to science, by which- the one illustrates and mysteriously interprets the other. Thus I have seen a painting that affected me like a poem ; and have heard music that reminded me of places seen in youth, and, until then, forgotten.' Architecture is frozen music,' said Madame, viva- ciously. He whom they styled Wolfgang lookedup in delight- ' ed approbation.

not included in the Cabinet, represented by Mr. BouvERIE, are reported to have informed him (Lord JOHN RUSSELL) that they were not prepared to vote against Sir BULWER LYTTON'S motion." The Times adds, " This removed all doubt as to the result of the impending division." It left poor Lord Joan no alternative but to " adjust his mantle ere he fell;" with the best grace he might ; and lie resigned. The preceding delineations of Whig perfidy and meanness are drawn by " liberal" artists, and from their knowledge of the men, and also of the facts referred to, the picture, however humiliating and repulsiveLis entitled to belief. Of late Lord JOHN RUSSELL has become somewhat noto- rious for the nature, the freedom, and the peculiar fashion of his explanations. Another scene, it is to be hoped the last one, yet awaits him as an expository commentator on the sayings and doings of his quondam colleagues. The eloquent phil- fipple he delivered on the occasion of dismissing Lord Pee • MERSTON from the Foreign Secretaryship, which that noble- man held under his lordship, is too recent to have been for- gotten, or to require repetition ; he may, however, and in all probability will, indulge in a few supplementary strokes just to complete the portrait, and as it were bring it down to the present day. His able performances in the portraiture of the, Earl of ABERDEEN and the Duke of NEWCASTLE will scarcely require either repetition or retouching to render them crack specimens of delineative, if not very friendly, art ; but, when he comes to fill in the portraits of Mr, BOUVBRIE and that honourable gentleman's coadjutors, something racy, as well as spirited, may be reasonably anticipated. His tour de force, however, will, in all likelihood, be reserved for finishing the high-minded devisers ofthe "round robin," or which the radical scribe of the Daily News represents most unfairly as " fit only for sailors in a mutiny on shipboard." No human con- stitution, however, is equal to the tasks in this line to which his lordship subjects himself, and even the amateur vigour of voluntary performances of the kind referred to have a debilitating effect on the performer; and to this condition of humanity Lord JoHN RussELL forms no exception.. This fact was made painfully manifest on Friday evening, when he essayed an answer to a question put by Mr. DISRAELI, on the preceding night, when Lord JOHN was not in the House. It had been currently reported during the day that the answer would be given, and at six o'clock, when the sitting commenced, every thing gave' indication of an ex- pected statement of importance. The body of the house was crowded by members; in the Peers' Gallery there was a con- siderable gathering of peers, including the Earl of ALBE- MARLE, Lord W/NIFORD, and Lord .CAMPBELL; and every eye was fixed on the spot occupied by the expected orator. After one disappointment, the audience were so far gratified by his Lordshin addressing himself to the task in hand,—the expected explanatiOn. The display was anything but a pleasing or exciting one: He was evidently out of spirits' and out of humour. Hespoke in a tone of voice indkativeof ex- treme dejection, and so low as to be scarcely audible: His speech,• which was butt a brief one, produced but Ellie effect, and was heard very imperfectly. He reiterated his statement that he'considered the Austrian proposals might at the time have been accepted with advantage. The statement fed upon listless and- incredulous ears•;. and when he came to the-aver- ment that he thought they could not now be adopted with propriety—and that consequently he- was for a vigorous prosecution of the war, his declaration was received with contumelious laughter ; even b 3 own friendh of the old Whig. party smiling ftornfully at the attempted double. That very pure tribe now affect to view what he thought and they ad- mitted to be strokes of profound cunning, as childish indica- tions of weakness and deceit which never imposed upon any one. They profess- now to say that-by his last' false move he has rudely destroyed all faith in, his capacity as a states- man ; and what is more, that he hash destroyed adlconfidence in his sincerity and truthfulness as a man—that he-has com- mitted political suicide. So complete- a political and moral prostration has seldom fallen to the lot-of any individual who held a prominent place the national eye. In the meantime, the result of Sir E. E. Lrrrox's-metion is anxiously canvassed i7.e, the political circles of all parties. On the part of the Government out-and-out supporterse, it is said that, by a skilful application of his carefully-sttelieltac- tics;—and now that he has- got rid of Lore/Joan; as a kind of "Old Man of the Sea," who rode upon am/vile(' the 'lack of his administration,—Lord PALMERSTON will defeat the mo- tion by' a' considerable majority. On the other hand, they maintain that, if hard run on-a division, or even if -beaten, he will not resign, but have recourse to a dissolution, appealing: to, the country on his determination to prosecute the war with vigour and alacrity. Many individuals, however, and the parties, who have probable means of-knowing, declare that the-whole Government must go with Lord Jonx-Rus- SELL ; that the country is heartily sick of one and a/2 of them, and will Admit• of no compromise in getting rid of them.. A few, whn. gvnfava 4, knew P3Lant.ly ilemr fha 22.44Ler Kgratzi will have it that, the Conservative party have the game entirely in their own hands. These individuals. maintain that an influ• ential deputation of the Conservative party left London im- mediately, on its being known that the PALmzusTorreabinet had resolved to eject Lord Jour; and that that deputation proceeded directly to Knowsley, to consult with the. Earl of DERBY, who- received them most kindly and entered into their views with alacrity. -A prevalent statement among the promulgators-of the last-mentioned rumour is to the. et that a strong-Conservative Government will be immediately formed, among the first of whose-proceedings will be an appeal to the constituencies. Whatever shall come out of it, _the Whigs seem: disposed to put their house in order, as jar as they are ableeand to provide apartments, i‘possible, for the more necessitous. and clamorous-of their friends.- On Priday a report obtained confident circulation in Lincoln's innAhat Chief Justice Jnsvis,-of the CommonPlcas, will immediately resign his seat, and be succeeded by Sir A. Cocicznan, Lord PALMERSTON'S Attorney-General... As on similar previous occasions, everything has giveraplace, in the public mind,, to a consideration of the government dead-lock— Even the war itself, out of which all the contre- temps of recent occurrence -have directly or indirectly sprung, :has for the. instant, ceased to occupy. the chief place in general Attention- Still: the morsels of intelligence which coma fre- quently, although in no inatancefraught with mush informa- tion, or-made the bearers of very important results, are never- theless so far satisfactory that, while detailing no great -or startling achievement, they are destitute of evil tidings, and are on the whole favourable to our ultimate success.- The attacking works of the English have been pushed, with suc- cess, considerably nearer the Redan ; one account states that the cemetery so gallantly taken by our troops on the 18th of last month, and so unaccountably resigned after having been heldfor fourteen hours, was re-occupied by our men on the following day, and still remains in our possession. Int,the meantime, from various sources,. information is received repro- seating the state of the Russian army as very deplorable, and their losses, in the. way of transmitting reinforcements to the Crimea, as gigantic and overwhelming. Our new commander- in-chief appears to be labouring on, undismayed by difficulties or opposition, both of which he appears to disregard. The health of our troops iszepresented as in all, respects-satisfae- tory on the whole, and everything appears to wear the air of approaching success. As-regards the proceedings of General PRLISSIER, opinion seems divided in the Crimea and in Paris, as in soma degree in this country. In most respect& he is regarded as, a brilliant and dashing_ soldier who has no idea of fear, and some say too little. of consequenees—such a general, indeed, as would lead a brave army through any amount of obstacles and opposition in the field, and as one in every respect equal to any emergency which can be successfully opposed by indomitable will, and overcome by the most uncompromising activity,, and the most daring enter- prise. While such is the prevalent opinion respecting his general merits and qualifications, military critics, and espe. daily in France, where they are both numerous and accuts, concur in representing him as. impetuous and rash, and as a man not well fitted for the conduct of such an enterprise as the reduction of a fortress like. Sebastopol. In confirmation of this theory, they point to numerous instances, in which they maintain that the successes he has achieved in the Crimea are not eve,/ to the sacrifices at which they have been attained ; and, astln irrefragable evidence of the accuracy of these views, they point with melancholy significance to the sad tissue of blunders which commenced, accompanied, and concluded the desperate conflict of the 18th of June. One of these gentlemen, in speaking on the subject of Perassua's qualifications, delivers himself as follows :—" The rapidity and decision of the French Generalissimo's movements are pro- verbial. ' Take me that battery, though it cost twenty lives,' he says, and the troops rush to the exploit. The battery is not taken, but forty lives are sacrificed. Well, then, try it again at the expense of two hundred.' Four hundred fall ! Still the feat is not accomplished. ' Let the whole army go to it—we must haie it at any cost.' " Although these strictures are, probably, over-severe, they are, unquestionably, so far countenanced by facts ; and men of calm judgment, as well as the most intrepid bravery, question sharply the tee- tical wisdom which, commencing an attack with inadequate means, is compelled to repeat it with quadruple or octuple the force. The failure, in the first place, they say, is attended with a totally useless expenditure of means, and a depressing waste of life; and they maintain that even the ultimate success so achieved is diminished in value by the loss of prestige which attended the repulse From the Baltic the intelligence received at the end of last week, though not very decisive, is on the whole more en- couraging. The destruction of a town ht Finland, on the sth instant, bears testimony to the active exertions of our fleet in these hyperbOrean regions ; and the receipt of a despatch from Admiral DIMIDAS, in which he communicates an account of a discussion with. tl* Russian authorities relative to the privi- leges of flags of truce, indicates still more strongly the desire

CORN., LIVERPOOL, JULY 13.—A better attendance of the trade at market to-day, and a fair consumptive demand f)r most descrip- tions of good fresh wheat, which made an improvement of Id per bushel over Tuesday's rates, and even the sorts secondary in point-ofcondition participated in some instances in this amend- ment, and were rather more sought after. Flour is also in tolerable request, and both English and Spanish realise Is per sack advance. Barley unaltered. Beans Is per quarter dearer. Oats and oat- meal taken to a moderate extent, at previous currencies. Indian corn was again offered at a reduction of Is to 3s per quarter; this at last stimulated some demand, but the aggregate business has been unimportant : yellow American 40s to 40s 6d, mixed 40s, and white 40s 6d to 41s 61 per 4801bs.

A rise of 3d per bushel in the price of wheat, is to is 6d per sack in the value of English flour, and 2s in the value of Spanish must be noted. Oatmeal was rather cheaper, and the same remark applies to English beans. Oats, barley, and Indian corn were neglected. PRESTON, JULY, 14.—There was very littlewheat at the Corn Exchange to-day,-and the farmers being very extravagant in their pretensions, the sale was slow, but ultimately all was cleared at about 6d per wiudle above the last quotations. Parcels in granary unaltered. Flour held for 6d to Is per pack more money. The general qualities of beans is 6d per windle higher. Oats as last noted. Oatmeal dull, and only saleable in retail, without submitting to a further reduction of 6d. per load. WAKEFIELD, JULY 13.—Although the weather is fine the wheat trade remains very firm, and prices must be quoted Is per quarter dearer, with a fair business doing. Barley and beans unaltered. Oats and shelling are again scarce, and were rather dearer to-day. WISBECI-I, JULY I4.—A small show of grain here to-day. The wheat trade was very slow in consequence of farmers insist- ing on an advance of Is per quarter on last week's rates before they would part with their samples. Merchants were unwilling to comply with this to any extent, therefore very little business was done. No alteration in other articles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.—There was a small supply of wheat from the country, which sold readily at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter over last Saturday's prices. The arrivals of wheat from the Continent have been heavy this week, and transactions 'amongts factors to-day have been limited at about late rates.. No change in barley or oats. Flour the turn in favor of the seller. CORK, JULY 14.—Flour has only a retail sale, prime foreign becomes very scarce, and commands a price ; ordinary samples are in full supply, and the prices yield to buyers. Inferiors, under the competition from Egyptian flours, declined 6d to is per cwt- Wheats, not much doing; the large arrivals have sensibly influenced the market, and millers must be tempted to purchase. Indian corn very flat, at 20s decline. • DUBLIN, JULY 13.—Our market to-day was extremely dull for wheat and barley, at barely the prices of Tuesday. Oats being scarce and wanted, were again 3d dearer. Indian corn exceed- ingly heavy, though offered at a reduction of 3s to 48 per imperial quarter. White Wheat... 41s Od to 44s 0,1 .
