A ; Beverend Mr . Rainforth , the rector of the parish ( city ) of All Hallows , Staining , has been summoning before the Lord Mayor , under a statute of Henry VIIL , various inhabitants of that parish , who decline to pay him his tithes , several of the summoned being Dissenters , and one a Jew . The defendants pleaded sufficingly that they had never calculated on the claim , had taken houses , &c , without reference to it , and generally that they did not want to support a rector whose religion they disliked . The ] Lord Mayor , puzzled , suggested that an attempt should he made to bring the rector to reason ; and no order was made . The first public sale of captnred Russian cargoes since the commencement of hostilities took place this week at Garraway ' s There was an immense attendance of brokers ou the occasion . The gross proceeds realised by the sale of the cargoes of the 11 vessels were 3 , 9031 14 s . 6 d . —a dead bargain for the brokers .
There are some new Queen ' s Counsel : Mr . Commissioner Erie , ' Mr . Denison , of the Chancery Bar , and those two clever legal Members of Parliament , who have so admirably contrived to remain Badical members and yet become useful Ministerials—Mr . Phinn and Mr . Collier . According to the Nottingham Review , the Duke of Devonshire las stripped his walls and pedestals , at Chats-worth , of the numerous portraits and bnsts of which he had been possessed , representing portraits of members of the Eussian royal family . A fountain , which "bore the name of the " Nicholas Fountain , " is re-baptised into the " Victoria Fountain . "

A Dismal Story . — rThis strange story comes out i a a letter home from one of the -English soldiers in the East : — » ' And another thing I have to inforjn you , we foand a young girl here— -an English girl . She was a slave to some Greek here ; she was found working in the fields by one of the womea of the 28 th Kegiment , who was going across the fields to go to market , when the poor creature called her over , and asked her for a drink of water , and then she told her she "was an English woman , and had been slave to this Greet fonr years ; she was shipwrecked with hfcr father when she was 12 years old . She says this fellow was a
pirate when he first took her . But the soldiers went and got some clue to where these fellows were , and pulled the nest about them , and brought five of them prisoners , and brought 20 women away with them—all slaves . But they had the Englishwoman confined in irons somewhere else but they told the men they -would hang them , all there and then to a tree , if they would not tell where the English woman was ; and to save their lives they told , and they then found the poor girl in a dungeon underground , and in irons , with a great weight on her chest ; so they released her . These men are to be tried and they are sure to be shot . The soldiers are going to make a subscription for her ; she is a native of Essex . "
The / Society- of the Friends of Italy . "—This confederation of earnest and able men has published a " Record " of its progress . Two or three sentences tell the whole story : — There hasbeen no recent opportunity for action on the part of the Society . There has scarcely even been any thingnew to record ; and it is for this reason , as well as for the sake of husbanding their resources against the time , which may at any moment arrive , for clearly denned and active exertion , that the Committee have waited so long to communicate again , through a number of the Record , with their constituents ; and even now theyhave no active course to recommend . We must ; bide our time—silently organising and earnestly watching the course of events . In the mean time , we beg to remind those of our Members whose subscriptions ara due at Midsummer , that without their aid , wo are powerless even to sustain the humble part of waiting . " Following is an able essay on " Secret Diplomacy" well worth publication in a form for genera ] circulation .
_ Thce Via Appia . — " The Via Appia , or Street of Tombs , is one of the grandest sights of Rome—an appropriate ana affecting approach to the gates of tlie fallen mistress of the world ; like her , in absolute ruin , but majestic in its fallen stata . Much as I have read and seen of this approach , the solemn reality far exceeded my expectations . Extending in a straight line from the tomb of CJecilia Mettolla , the long vista , of ruins open outstretching for miles over tho desolate Campagna ; stones towers , monuments , shapeless masses , lie on every sido piled upon each other , forming an avenue of ruin impossible to conceive . Beneath Is the original Roman pavement , and very bad and rough it ia . Then there is such an enchanting view of Rome and its ancient walls , the aqueducts stretching across the p lain for miles and milea boyond tho Appenines , ending in Mount Soracto , shaded in every colour from purple to palo-yellowish pink . In front lies Fwiscati , nestled in tho folds of tha mountains , dotted with forests and villages ; above ia Albano ; while around extends the long level line of the Campagna , that earthen Doad Seacairn , immovable , interminable , and looking enmity accursed .

PABUAMENTAKY . In the House of Lords the early part of the sitting was occupied by the Earl of Shaftesbtjry , who defended the Board of Health against the attack made on it by Lord Seymour in the House of Commons ^ in asserting that the Board had by its conduct completely checked the progress of sanitary measures in this country , and , by its despotic course of proceeding , disgusted the whole nation , and that upon it , and it alone , was chargeable the non-progress of
those great beneficial measures which were so much required by the physical condition of the people . The noble Earl gave a fiat contradiction in the first place , and then proceeded to make out his case by elaborate arguments and lengthy documents from different parts of England in favour of the proceedings of his Board . He was heartily supported by the Bishop of London , the Earl of Carlisle , and Lord Brougham ; the result being a complete vindication of Mr . Chadwick
Lord Lyttleton then made an elaborate attack on the administration of New Zealand by Governor Sir G . Grey , especially as regarded the manner in which he had dealt with the new constitution of the colony , and the changes he had made in the prices of land . The Duke of Newcastle warmly defended his officer , going with hia usual fulness into all the details of the affair , The other business was of no importance .

In the House of Commons , in answer to Mr . Heywood , Sir J . Young , stated that he had received an intimation from the authorities of Dublin University , stating that they had applied for a Queen ' s letter , ia order to enable them to take steps to cause a reasonable number of exhibitions to be increased in value , and placed on the satno footing as the scholarships—theso to be open to persons of all religious denominations . Mr . J . O'Conn ell drew attention to the outbreak of cholera on board tho emigrant ship Dirigo , and urged tho passing of a bill to stop emigration from any port ¦ where cholera prevailed .
Mr . F . PiiBL said , in tho particular case alluded to the . disease had been corrected j and as to a general measure , it was too late now to introduce any measure , and emigrants must take their clianco till next session , when tho Government could prepare a bill . The Oxford University Bill was brought down from the Lords , and tho amendments ordered to be considered next Thursday . Sir C . Wood , pressed by Mr . Otway , declined to recommend any recognition of tho rank of officers in tho Indian army boyond that which thoy now enjoyed ) such as it is .
Mr . Sxdney HiQunBRT answered interpellations on tho subject of army clothing b y stating that now patterns of uniforms wore decided on > but thoy could not bo issued till next year ; nnd ho positively asserted on authority that tho English soldiers had leae
to carry on their backs than the French troops . The hospital waggons ( ambulance ) had been sent off some time , and were by this at Varna . BRIBERY BILL The House then went into committee on the Bribery Bill , and resumed its discussion at the 17 th clause , which , all through the debate , was characterised as the main feature of the bill . It provides for the appointment of an officer to be called " Auditor of Election Expenses , " through whose hands all the money spent at elections was to pass , and who is to audit the accounts and publish them in the newspapers .
Considerable discussion followed on the mmq ^ question of the mode of appointment , and the sort of officers that would be appointed ; but there was an almost universal concurrence on both sides of the House with regard to the principle of creating sncli an officer—who would secure publicity with regaid to all money spent at elections . Finally Mr . Bbntinck moved the omission of the clause , but only on the ground that while going the right way to work in the appointment of the election officer , it failed in defining his duties . On a division , the clause was earried' —the numbers being for the clause , 133 ; against ; it , 74 ; majority 59 ,
The clauses which were next proceeded with , -rere of less importance , and dealt principally with detail . On clause 21 , which provides that no payments be made except through the election officer , except personal and advertising expenses , Lord Kobebt jtbosvenob moved its rejection , and a division took place—and the clause was carried by a majority of 148 to 67 . The Chairman then reported progress . The other business disposed of was formal .

Saturday , Jnly 15 th . FOREIGN NEWS . The latest telegraphs renew the story about the concentration of Anglo-French troops at Rutschuk ; the items of intelligence being somewhat varied ; the date being now to the 9 th , and the number of troops 18 , 000 , instead of 15 , 000 . The persistency of this news begins to render it a probability ; and , if it be true , we may expect soon to hear of the allied armies being in actual contact with the Russians .
Letters from Odessa " concentrate the allied fleets ( fifty-eight sail ); in the " direction of" Sebastopol . On the other hand , it is reported that positive orders from St . Petersburgh have reached the Russian generals in the Principalities to re-occupy the positions sacrificed by Paskiewitsch . A letter from Madrid ( July 12 ) represents the insurgents as routed in Valencia .

Their insertion is often delayed , owing to a press of matter ; and when omitted it is frequently from reasons quite independent of the merits of the communication . , No notice can bo taken of anonymous communications Whatever is intended for insertion must bo authenticated by the name and address of the writer ; not necessarily for publication , but as a guarantee of his good faith ., Wo cannot undertake to return rejected communications . All letters for the Editor should be addressed to 7 , " Wellington-streot , Strand , London . Communications should always bo legibly written , and on ono sido of tho paper only . If long , it increases tlie difficulty of finding space for them .
