No . 152 . " Dnke of Wellington , Baro Sound , " June 10 , 1854 . " Sir , —I beg leave to transmit to their lordships the accompanying letter from Hoar-Admiral Plumridge , enclosing one from Captain Glasse , of the Vulture ( which ship arrived here yesterday ) , giving an account of an unfortunate failure in an attack on Gatnla Carlely , in the Gulf of Bothnia , by the boats of the Vulture and Odin . " 2 . I have expressed to Captain Glasse , my disapproval of sending boats to attack a place so far distant from his ship without any apparent object , which has led to the melancholy catastrophe on this occasion . —1 have , &c , " ( Signed ) CiiAiiiJiS Naimek , " Vice-Adiniral and Coinniander-iu-Chief ... " The Secretiiry of the Admiralty . "
Admiral Plumridge ' s letter , here referred to , contains this remark on the unfortunate affair at Gatnla Carleby : — " From what I am able to discern , it would appear to me that this serious catastrophe has resulted from surprise , and a subsequent want of suitable management . " The" instructions to Captain Glasse were that he should " proceed off Old Carleby , taking with him the Odin , to examine and operate , if practicable , on that place and its vicinity , where it was said they
had a small screw-steamer , -which it was an object to obtain for the use of the squadron . " On the 7 th the Vulture and Odin anchored abreast of Trullon island in four fathoms water , and Captain G-lasse sent off the boats under the command of First-Lieutenant Wise of the Vulture . After anchoring , Lieutenant Wise went ashore with a flag of truce to demand the surrender of all property belonging to the Emperor of Russia . Not obtaining a satisfactory answer , he says : —
" I re-embarked , and directing Lieutenant Carrington to proceed a-head in a boat of light draught to sound , ordered the boats to weigh and form in two lines abreast , but before this was executed the enemy's fire from storehouses on our right , opened with field pieces and musketry , , "which was promptly returned by our guns and small arms . The enemy being in great force and rapidly increasing —their position well chosen , and protected among wood and houses , behind which they were completely concealed , and from which they poured a most destructive fire—1 deemed it expedient to withdraw the boats , and accordingly made the signal for the general recall . " I did not , however , accomplish tlusiwithout the loss of tho paddle-box bout of this ship , whkh was destroyed by the enemy ' s fire ; and it is with sorrow I contemplate the severe
loss of officers and men wo have snstaincd . Lieutenant Carrington , of tho Odin , fell while in the act of carrying out my orders . Hia boat , a cutter , was the object of the enemy ' s first fire , by which sho had cloven struck down , and gave us first uotice of their proximity . Mr . N . J . Morpny , mate , in charge of the Vulture's paddlo-box boat I observed encouraging his crew with great gallantry . Mr . C . P . H . Montague ( mute ) , Odin , I am sorry to say fell mortally wounded while most gallantly doing his duty in the puddle-box boat of that ship . I havo to add thattlie conduct of every officer and man was most exemplary . I cannot close this report without mentioning my approbation of tho cool and praiseworthyiconduct of Lieutenants Madden and Followes , who commanded the other two boats with guns . — 1 : nn , &c . "
Tho loss sustained by both sides was , killed , 7—3 ollicers and 4 men ; wounded , 21—2 officers and 19 men ; missing , 23—1 officer and 27 men . The next day Captain Ghisse sent Lieutenant Wise with a letter for tho Governor of Gamla Carleby , soliciting his Excellency ' s consideration for tho wounded and prisoners who had fallen into his hands , and requesting to bo informed , of the number of killed and wounded- of the party captured on tho previous night ' s attack . But tho letter waa not delivered , tho ling of truce not , being acknowledged . It is due to Captain Glasse to state that Admiral Plumriilge associates that officer ' s name with those of Captains Buckle and GifXnrd with reference to th o operations at IJrakestad nnd Ulcnborg , deeming it incumbent on him , ho says , " to notice how sensibly [ feel their zealous co-operation , as well us tho good arrangements of their ships' boats for service .

Satuudatt , July 1 st . The House of Commons was principally engaged last night , in voting supplies . Lord J . Russell moved the Estimate for Education , and stated that the vote amounted to 343 , 8731 ., including 80 , 000 ? ., the balance due from former years . He then at length stated his reasons fox making no change in the present system , either secular or religious , and , although he strongly eulogised the efforts made by large towns to extend education , he thought religious differences rendered the establishment of a general
system of education difficult or impossible , at least for the present . He showed that much good had been done by the present system , but hoped that it would effect much more when fully developed . Sir J . Pakington rather taunted Lord John with want of courage in not grappling with this question , and devised a scheme which might have dealt with it both as regarded religious and secular instruction . Mr . Miall , in . moving an amendment to reduce the vote by 80 , 000 / ., the increase on the present year , urged that the present system of education had failed , and stated his views of the voluntary plan .
Mr . Rgnlex- urged the necessity of improving the physical condition of the people before attempting their mental elevation . Mr . W . J .. Fox , in a terse and eloquent speech , advocated an entire system of secular education . Some unimportant speakers followed after , when Mr . Cobden entered at large into the question , urging that it should be dealt with at once , and advocating a system of local rating for the purposes of education , leaving to each locality the application of their rates in their own manner .
Lord Johk Russell again addressed the House , combating Mr . Cobden ' s theory , on the ground that such a system would not work on account of the religious differences which it would have to encounter . The vote was finally agreed to , and tne committee proceeded with the estimates for Irish Education , the Department of Science and Art , &c . The House of Lords was occupied principally with tho Committee on the Divorce and Matrimonial Bill . Objections were made by Lord Kedesdale to the facilities for divorce given by the bill , and he stated that ho would on the third reading move the omission of the clauses relating to that subject .
Lord- St . Leonauds objected strongly to any of tho business connected with matrimonial causes being transferred to tho Court of Chancery , and urged the reconsideration of that question . The Legislative ( Canada ) Bill was read a third time ami passed . The Loud CHANCEi . ixm introduced a bill for the amendment of the Bankruptcy Laws .
