The Loan Clitnefintos took his scat on the woolsack at half-pat I 'o'clock, when The Earl of 811AFTESBEIt'i moved that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will he graciously pleased to dire t ttiat a circular be addressed to the British representatives in foreign places ordering them to report as to the nature and extent of th e accommodation afforded at their several stations for the worship of English Protest ants ; alas the facilities for establishing protestant chapels where none now exist, and the nature of the laws in the n•veral countries as to the exercise of the protestant reli- mon. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE (who spoke: in an un der tic: acre. , the table) was unfit mail to say that be bad no objection to the motion ; end it was accordingly agreed to.

The Earl of MOUNICASIIELL presented • petition against the present system of State Edueation in Ireland. About • quarter past two o'clock the booming of the park a.rtillery announced the arrival of the Quito, which was anitirmed within a few minutes by the usual flourish of tamapete. Shortly after, her Majesty entered the house in the usual 'tate, leaning 11L1 the arm if Prince Albert, and preceded by the Duke of Wellington, carrying the sword of state. The Marquis of Lansdowne bore the crown and velvet cushion, told the Marquis of Winchester appeared with the cap of suitutenauce. fhe Queen looked remark- Oily well, end was handsomely attired in a white brocade satin draft, with a tiara and stomacher of diamonds; and her Majesty we, attended by the Duchess of Su therland, so mutrew of the robes, and one of the ladies in waiting ; two youthful pages bearing the cumbrous crimson velvet train.

I Wee& ea at before the 15th leicaeL genes of that Peninsula; plotting . against the consti tutional freedom whisk Piedmont is consolidating as ea example for all Italians ; willing to sell the poll ' deal islisence of Ma starch in France to the highest bidder against human progress • interchanging c ots with that very progress; whom his r summoned to meet him in the courts of heaven for his imperial cruelties to women ; driving thought, intelligence, learning and science away from the temples of reli gion ; teaching and imbuing, as Mr. GLADSTONE has shown, the mind of youthful purity and innocence I with principles demoniacal and views anti-social ; and attempting, in the name of that Redeemer who above all thing s declared his kingdom not to be of this world, to disturb the tranquillity, if not to tear to pieces the integrity of this empire. A popedom so allied, eo acting; thus associated, thus dependent, cannot last. It were to disbelieve in the goodness and mercy of Almighty GOD to his creatures to suppose it could. It triumphs for a while ; but a day of retribution and punishment must be approaching. England has but to let loose the democracy of Europe; to give rein to that dema gogy which is eager for the fray ; to withdraw her moral resistance to those calamities which are im pending over the continent ; and Italy would itself settle for ever thepopedom. Popery,Romanism, the' faith, the church of Rome, might and probably would bo left. But that subtle, faithless, relentless, celibate court of priests, which is the hugest fraud as well as the most remorseless cruelty ever practised on mankind, would be swept away, with all its congenial organisations, by those who have felt its heavy, icy, clammy hand most. Human endurance has limits ; they have long been passed in Italy. A chaos of communism would be preferable to the destruction of humanity now in progress in that unhappy land. Its rulers and oppres sors have taught the world their own worthlessness, and the Pope PIO Novo has blessed them for their tyranny. Both must go together, the popedom and Italian despotism are in the same b oat, it is ready tosink with their weight. Lord PALMERSTON, in sending around Europe Mr. GLADSTONE'S pamphlets, has warned the world of the approaching storm ; has in timated the policy of England when the swelling waters of the deluge shall arise ; has notified that, though we may pick up a drowning prince here and there, it will be from motives of humanity, and not from a wish to restore him to power. No : they have neglected all opportunities, thrown away the means of safety, cut oft all retreat, sown the whirl wind, and must reap the storm ; and, as there is a God in heaven, Italy will rise again free from a popedom. Yet this is the man, this the court, these the princes, who mean to bring back England to their sway, to the fold of corrupt religion, to the flock of political tyrants. One's blood boils at the thought, ridiculous and absurd though it is. And for that purpose they have sent over here a cardinal priest, who will gloss and flatter our aristocracy, and ride rough-shod over his clergy—who is at once a courtier and an oppressor—in whom is the spirit of the court of Rome incarnate and dominant. Ile has been bred and reared in the greatness and intri cacy of its plots and schemes, and he comes here to apply them to the face of England as a network to keep down our free thoughts. The Port: and the Princes of Italy seek safety and immunity for their outrages on their own people in the conversion of England, in the success of their church here, in the hope of gaining sympathy for their faith and protection for their politics, through English proselytism ; and Cardinal - WISEMAN is at once their ambassador and their missionary. Ile is fighting a great tight ; nothing less than the restora tion of superstition here anti the prolongation of despotism elsewhere. The SCRWAIIZENBERGS, the Nessetuones, the old Borituoss, and the young ORLEANISTS watch him narrowly; he has their prayers and their hopes. Such is their policy. What ought to be ours ? Can any . man doubt ?The downfall of the popedom ; not by violence, not by force, not by intrigue, diplo. Lacy, or craft; but, by allowing events to take their natural course; by abstaining from interference when it would uphold that remorseless institution; by announcing to the world that we shall not regard its fall as a loss, but a gain, to humanity. Nor does this policy at all affect the Roman Catholic religion ; with it, as a faith, as a means, or supposed means, of salvation, England has nothing to do. Let us continue to give it the same freedom as we enjoy for ourselves; not inter fering with its forms of worship, nor excluding from place or power those who believe in its sanatory efficacy. But let us give no support, political, diplo matic, or military, to the court of Rome, for it is so foul and filthy, so noisome and noxious, that he who touches or toys with it must be defiled. It is a fraud and a cruelty, and in these days England cannot consent to i supp ort ce an instrument of human oppres sion, or plan other hands the tools of human torture. We have not at last crushed the African slave-trade to turn to the enslaving of Italy. We know well that the maintenance of the pope dom is necessary to the conception of the Church, of Rome; that without Italy in its present state, to serve as a model and an example of superstition and splendour, the church of Rome would greatly alter. But that is its affair, not ours. That which we ad vocate is the policy of this country not supporting, or upholding, or maintaining the popedom, as a power or principality, necessary to the _present Eu ropean system, or balance of power. That was the mistake we committed in lsl3 ; let us then gain wisdom wherewith to meet coming events ; for already they cast their shadows before them. —those who were roma ha a direct tax ea repee=t r i I the Ch of lashopier. who eamilted began the herr by op* that sr ispeerrest raid be ' reds fa the peeler lisle Ob.*. the tag; whereas lis 1 , own oaten peeved that great imarereredeamlght be wade in that copse.

The first names called were those of Lord Dudley Stuart, Sir A. Brooke, Sir J. Duckworth , Capt. Scobell, Mr. Bernal. Lord Paleurston and Mr. llobhouse were the last names called. Mr. HUME said that though he had opposed tbe resolu tion for giving precedence to cabinet ministers, by rule all the members of that house being equal—(hear, hear)—he would suggest that the members of the cabinet should, by courtesy, be allowed to accompany the Speaker hint. (War.) Mr. HENLEY said that, as a courtesy, that was a privi lege which they would all be disposed to allow. (Cheers.) TREATMENT OF PROTESTANTS IN ROMAN CATHOLIC COUNTRIES. Sir R. INOLIS wished to put the foUowing questions to the noble lord, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs : Whether, in the event of an English church being built an Rome, her Majesty's government were prepared to give car molar protection to such church?—whether her Mae: 1 1: gov e rnment were aware of an application to the S p an government for permission to form a burial-grouud near Madrid, and if so, whether such permission was not accom panied with such conditions as were unfit for any civilised na tom to propose and for her Majesty's government to accept ? —whether he was prepared to lay on the table the cones pondenn which had taken place respecting the cues of Captain Pakenham and Mr. Mealy? Lord PAI.3IERSTON said that as the correspond : earn with the governments of Tuscany end Rome was still going on respecting the cases of Captain Paken ham and - Mr. Healy, be did not think it would be con sistent with hie duty to lay that correspondence on the table at present. VI ith respect to the building of a cha pel in Rome, tere R 23 the Consular Act, which provided that wherever a h consul or vice-consul was established, the Secretary of State should be empowered to give the benefit of that act, which consisted in this—that a chaplain might be appointed, whose salary was to be paid in the tint place by the resideats of this country, and then by the Secre tary of State from a public vote in that house. If an appli cation was made to have a chapel placed within the pro visions of that act, he saw no reason why it should be re fused ; but that act did not enable the consul to exer ci-e say authority over the chapel other than was con sistent with the law, of the country in which such chapel was built. With regard to the other question, having reference to the burial-ground in Madrid, it was stipulated by ancient treaties that British subjects should be allowed to construct and arrange a burial-ground there. There was a British burial-ground, but its position was too near the centre of the town, and therefore it came within the act recently passed ,• and with regard to extra mural interments they had accordingly entered into corre spondence with the Spanish government for a chanrre of burial-ground, and they at last obtained from the Spanish governmeut permission to form another burial-ground, but lie was sorry to say that this permission was &COMM ponied with conditions, arising, u the Spanish government represeuted, out of the law of Spain with regard to religions opinions, which conditions her Majesty's government could not regard bat with regret and pain. (liter, hear.) He was ready to lay such portions of the correspondence as he thought would be interesting to the house on the table. (Rear, hear.) Mr. B. COCIIRA'NE wished to know who was the offi cial organ of communication with Italy, whether Mr. Petri or Mr. Freeborn ? Lord PALMERSTON said that Mr. Petro was at pre sent the diplomatic organ, and Mr. Freeborn presided over the consular department. In the absence of Mr. Pens, Mr. Freeborn would be the only organ. Sir It. INOLIS wished to know from the Under-Seen nry of the Colonies whether there was any record of as ordinaucc in which a predominance was asserted for the Roman catholic church of Malta, and whether her Maje sty' s government hail given their sanction to any such • naure Mr. HAWES replied that no such ordinance as that to which the bun. gentleman referred had yet come into the i hand, of the Secretary of State. That document to which he 'apposed the hon. gentleman referred contained certain Provision, respecting an alteration of tne penal code, some of which he could not approve of. (Hear, hear.) t: RC I I RAT ES. Mr. ELLIS moved that the evidence taken before the Committee on ('hutch Rates be printed. Sir It. INGLIS opposed the motion. Sir D. Dead" Sir J. Duckworth, and Mr. Henley, Inembers of the committee, said they fully understood that the evidence was to be printed. (Iliac, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the hon. baronet would not oppose the motion. Sir R. INGLIS assented. The SPEAKER said that the house had already ordered the evidence to be printed. (Loud laughter.) At this time ('SO minutes past 2 o'clock), Mr. Psalms, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, entered the house, and commanded, on the part of her Majesty, the immediate attendance of the house in the House of Lord,. The Speaker, accompanied by Lord J. Russell and Lord Palmerston, the only cabinet ministers present in the house, and by the other members in the order in which their , names were drawn from the ballot-boa, then proceeded to the House of Peers. After a few minutes absence the Speaker returned and took his seat on the chair usually occupied by the chairman of committees. Ile then proceeded to read the royal speech, the members of the house standing round the table, after which Lord J. Russell, Sir J. Graham, and the other mem , , tiers present. advanced to the Speaker and shook hands with hint. The members then left the house, P.IIILLIMENTARY DIVISIONS. II01:SE OF COMMONS.—ArorbT 7.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9. TnE answer given on Thursday last to a question pat by Sir Da LACY EVANS, regarding the scandalous Nem now enacting at Naples under the desecrated Setae of law, expresses, no doubt, the prevalent sen timent of this country on the subject referred to. We feel that we have no right to interfere, unasked, in the domestic concerns of another realm. If its riders are oppressors, and its people suffer, we may sympathiss, intercede, or, if we despair of any other node of making our neighbourly indignation felt, we may execrate, by speech and writing, the wrong com wafted upon humanity. But so long as no other nation interposes to sustain the legalised cruelty and tyranny of the governing power, and to play the coward's part of accessory in oppression, we have no business to meddle with affairs not in any way our own. Intervention implies cost to our own people of money or blood in case of resistance; and the practical experience of international law teaches us to be wary in assuming any part of the responsibility which attaches to those who peremptorily veto the ordinances of even the worst of governments with respect to the community that tolerate its sway. In striking down by the benevolent arm of superior force, we may achieve an absolute and imme dia te good. But hav ing paralysed the existing system, are we prepared to undertake the establishment of one that is better and that will last? If an injured people can by a spring at the throat of wrong, or by successive muti lations of its Briarian arms, work out their own salvation—it may be and we confess we think it is the duty of a great and free power standing by, to see fair play in the awful struggle, and to smite in the teeth any attempt from the opposite quarter to help or aid tyrannous authority. But, while nothing of this is attempted, our sympathy for the suffering must be restrained within the bounds of prayers for mercy or execrations in the face of the civilised world of those who manifest none. Mr. GLADSTONE'S remarkable exposure of the judicial fraud and cruelty practised in the kingdom of the Two Sicilics against all who took part in any way in the brief essay at consti tutional government in 1848 acknowledges the duty of refraining from anything and everything like national interference, no matter under what temptations of pity and horror. And Lord PAL MERSTON appears to be just now dispos ed to observe the rule with such punctiliousness, tho declines even to indite t , a friendly representation" on the subject to his relative, our resident at Naples. for the purpose of being diplomatically communicated to the king of that populous gaol, He intimates, indeed, pir parenthese, that any direct expostulations from our government would be of very little use. The Neapolitan court is completely under the guidance and control of that of Vienna; and it is certainly pasalle that direct remonstrance from us might serve rather to pique the Italian minions of Austria into fresh or further atrocities—just to show their loy alty to their master, as well as to make a feint of in. dependence. Lord PALMERSTON has hit upon another mode ofi Iserying out the humane views of Mr.GtAusroNt. Ile I has enclosed copies of his letters to Lord ABERDEEN, to each of our ministers at the other courts of Europe whose humane instances may probably be more at tended to than ours. No higher compliment could be paid to the writer of the pamphlets in question ; I nor need its value be necessanly deemed less because it affords a pleasant opportunity of personal triumph I to the foreign secretary over his veteran rival, whose name, by express permission, is inscribed upon the title-page. It is a quiet way of telling the SCIIWAR ZENBERGs, and Nesseinonts, and MANTECI FELS of eastern Europe, that they have nothing to reckon on in a change of administration here, where public opinion compels in all main principles of policy a similar tone, whether affected or sincere, no matter who happens to hold the portfolio of Secretary of State. Meanwhile the suborned witness and the slavish edge are busy in their vocation by the shores of the editerranean. A day or two since we published a painful notice of the approaching trial of the late minister of trade and agriculture during the constitutional period, M. SCIALOJA. For many years devoted to the study and teaching of political economy, an accomplished scholar, of rather conservative liberal in opinions, this ' ill-fated gentleman has lain for nearly two whole years in prison on some unauthenticated and unpub limbed accusation of complicity in the schemes of the i nitenitemocratic party. Again and again he has timmailed to be brought to trial during the protracted turn d his illegal incarceration, but in vain. evidence, it is to be presumed, was not completed until now. A chain of imaginary circumstances where real facts exist not, takes time to manufacture, even at Naples; so SCIALOJA has had to waste two years of his life in a loathsome dungeon on suspicion of having conspired to overturn the order of things under which he had risen to the dignity and power of a cabinet minister. But reasoning is out of place in such matters. The notorious purpose of the Austrian vicegerent who wears the tinsel diadem of the Two Sicilics, is to ex terminate all traces of that short regime of law and l liberty that subsisted during the earlier part of 1848 in the south of Italy. Hence the persecution of POEIIIO, and his iniquitous sentence. Hence the banishment and imprisonment of many of the most distinguished liberals of character and fortune. Hence, amongst the rest, the impending fate of the mild and moderate professor of economic science. Despotism like that of King FERDINAND makes in its fury for the eyes of the people, and then wonders, when the hour of vengeance comes, that in their -es madness they do not discriminate and cannot see. —Il— IF, as seems to be a general impression, the great battle of Armageddon between Popery and Protest antism has to be re-fought, we must not be misled, still less be frightened ley the bluster of Romanism. For, notwithstanding the ambitious and showy per severance of our vain Cardinal, notwithstanding his sale of indulgences, whereby to raise another St. Peter's on the appropriate ruins of Smithfield, and his temporary platforms in the Courts of Irishry, to receive the worship of his crawling followers ; not withstanding the efforts now making by thehicrarchy of his church to monopolise and control education there in Ireland, and the attacks on the fortunes of dy ing old women, which our Courts of Equity are gradually lifting up the veil on, of sleek and oily monsignori of the court of Rome here in Westmin ster; notwithstanding his demand for a toleration here, which Rome denies us in the capital of the treat Christian Heresy, and which she has just bound down Italy and Spain, by solemn trea ties, to refuse us there ; notwithstanding the heroic insolence which now requires, as a! condition of peace, the repeal of the fun- I &mental law of this monarchy, that its head shall be a protestant ; notwithstanding all this combined audacity and craft, this impudence and policy, this folly and wickedness, the worldly advantages (as we know the spiritual are also) now lie on the side of protestantism. So, if the battle have to be re-fought—if the enemy be rash and con fident enough to risk a collision—there need be little fear of the result. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENINO. The President will receive this evening the repre sentatives who wish to take leave of him before set ting out for the country. A decree appears in the Monitear ordaining the interment of the remains of Marshal Sebastian in the Hotel des Invalides. The only result of importance in the Assembly's sitting to-day, was the voting of the budget of receipts, which was adopted by a large majority., This operation having been concluded, the repre sentatives will disperse to the four winds, quick as J railways can bear them from the laborious metropolis I to the refreshing leisure of the country. The sitting of to-morrow will be a mere formality. The fusionists look forward with eagerness to the result of the conferences which arc to be held at Claremont on the 26th instant, between parties met , 1 to celebrate the anniversary of Louis Philippe's death. The Dukc de Bordeaux arrived on the 2nd inst. at Baden, but set out shortly after for Frohsdorf. The splendid pageant of the Paris fetes having passed like a dream away, the public eye is now attentively fixed on the dreary reality of the trial of the Lyons conspirators. Considerable alarm was excited last night by the news given in the Paris which prognosticated imminent disorders ; but the intelligence received to-day from the department of the Rhone is of a more reassuring character. On the 6th, at the breaking . up of the first sitting of the eoart-martial, the eminent representatives who have undertaken the defence were the object of a sort of popular ovation. Amid the cries of " Five la Republique!" "dive Michel de Bourges!" the latter chief of the Mountain, with his brother ad vocates, was conducted to the Hotel de l'Europc by a vast concourse of people, chiefly of the working classes. But the crowd pas sed without uttering any , 1 provocation before the strong body of cuirassiers posted at the abutment of the Pont de l'Arehevechi , .

The indicmtent, in great detail, gave an account of other insurrectionary movements, and of the proceedings of the several conspirators. The answers of Gent, to the various examinations to which he had been subjected, were next read, us were also those of other persons relative to him. In one of them it was stated, that to avoid arrest, lie had secreted himself in the chamber of the daughter of Borel, one of the accused. Borel cried, " That is false! I cannot allow the houour of my daughter to be attacked. No man ever entered her chamber." The President recommended him to be calm. Documents relative to the private life of Gent were after wards read. One of them referred to difficulties which had arisen about his admission to the bar of Avignon. Gent remarked that it ought also to have been stated that he had subsequently risen to be it member of the Council of Discipline of the same bar. Other papers stated that Gent's father had left a fortune of 300,000 f., but that he had rapidly dissipated the portion which he inherited. They also set forth that he had had, according to public rumour, incestuous relations with his sister. TRIAL BY COURT MARTIAL OF THE LYONS CONSPIRATORS. At ten o'clock on the morning of the Sth, the court-martial assembled at the Palais de Justice, for the trial of the 50 conspirators concerned in the Lyons plot, for upsetting the government and introducing the red republic. M. Couston, colonel of the 13th Regiment of the line, was the president. The proceedings opened by the calling over the names of the witnesses, to the number of 10, among whom are several sub.prefects, literary men, journalists, and some women. Thirty barristers, retained for the de fence of the various prisoners, took their seats on the coun sels benches. Among them were four representatives of the people—M. Michel (de Bourges), MM. Baited, Boisset, and I Madier Montjau. The prisoners, to the number of 37, were I then brought into court, and answered to their names. Fourteen other persons included in the accusation have absconded. The principal prisoner is M. Gent, of the Parisian bar, formerly a representative of the department of the hire. He is defended by M. Michel (de Bourges). Among the other prisoners are barristers, farmers, journalists, and persons of various trades and professions. They were almost all well, and many of them elegantly dressed. After a warning by the l'resident that any expression of approba tion or of disapprobation on the part of the audience would be repressed and severely punished, the registrar read the " requintoire," which answers to what is called the " act. alkalisation " in the French civil courts, and to the Eng lish indictment or charge. This document, in pursuance of the invariable practice of French criminal proceedings, is an elaborate narration of everything relating to the pri soner's past life which may in any degree, however remote, tend to throw suspicion upon him, the whole carefully arranged so as to bring the whole mass of facts to converge and press against the prisoner with the utmost possible force. BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—The directors propose to The introductory part of this " requisitoire" states that Gent, raise a further sum of 110,0001. —• Gent remarked that the statement to that effect was only signed by the Central Commissaay of Police. The reading of documents continued until the adjourn meat of the court. I I
