The following bills wero read a third time and passed— The Inverness Bridge; Soap Duty Allowance; Militia Pay; Oenoral Board of Health (No. 2). METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the above bill, a somewhat angry conversation took place, and ultimately Mr. WAKLEY withdrew his motion, and the bill was read a second time, on the understanding that the discus sion should take place on Tuesday at twelve on the order of the day for going into committee. The Church Buildiug Acts Ameialment Bill (adjourned debate) was read a second time, with the understanding that the ,Iocll4.iort was to lie taken in committee._ I nor on the present system are they in the way of being so. A suggestion has recently been made to the go- vernment of a kind which tliough certainly not alto-' gether free from objection, has the merit of obviating many of the difficulties with which all deviations' I hem the rule of private enterprise are generally felt to be encompassed. It is proposed on behalf of several counties, chiefly we believe those of Ulster, that the locality through which a branch railway is to run should, within assignable limits and under certain circumstances, have the power of self-taxation in order to assist in the com pletion of the design. It is not proposed that the county or barony should raise the capital sum neces sary for the undertaking : that would, no doubt, be burdensome, unpopular, and unnecessary. If capital be not forthcoming from private sources it is not proposed that any step whatever should be taken. But, inasmuch as capitalists in these more circumspect days might be induced to come for ward were a moderate rate of interest insured to them, and as it would in many instances be well worth the while of the land-locked district to make itself liable to this extent for the sake of being permitted to participate in the advantages which the more thriving parts of the kingdom enjoy—the sanc tion of the legislature is sought for a general enact ment which would empower the duly constituted taxing bodies in the various localities to enter into legal contracts with companies, pledging the rates as guarantee for the payment of a stipulated divi dend for a stipulated period. In one case, that of the Killarney Junction, we understand this plan has actually been tried, and so far as we can learn it has not worked unsatisfacto rily. We believe that without its adoption the line in question might have lain for many years unmade. The districts through which it was designed that it should pass resolved two years ago to ask for the permission of parliament to tax themselves in the manner and to the extent we have named; and the result is, that one of the most interesting, and, in the true sense of the term, nationally useful railways is now nearly completed. The benefit to the locality is obvious. The primary risk is fairly and widely diffused, and the hazard of ultimate loss is reduced to the smallest practical point. In truth, it is little, if anything, more than the application of the old and recognised principle on which highroads were commonly made. There is no reason why as iron way should not be made as soon as one of lino stone would have been; and if the experiment already noticed has proved in all respects as canon• raging as it is represented to be, we should feel die pored to a ug ur well of the disposition manifested very generally iu Ireland to profit by it. 'Die answers given by Lord lons RINSELL on the part of government, and which we published yester day, point to the propriety of some adequate and authentic mode of eliciting public opinion on such a subject before ministers can undertake to bring in an enabling measure. Lord ENNISMILLEN and others who take an interest in the question, suggested that a reference might be made to the grand juries of counties throughout the kingdom assembled at the present assizes ; and in default of any better organi sation, we see no objection to the rf:ference thus proposed. But, beating in mind the oligarchical and self-nominative constitution of those bodies, in which no element of repre sentation has been ever yet allowed to enter, we arc constrained to own that some essential change is imperatively needed in this respect in Ire land as well as in England. For years the govern ment have affected to lament the defective condition of the fiscal jury system in counties in both countries, but more especially in Ireland. Yet year after year is suffered to roll by and the ancient r, , gime of irre sponsible landlordism is allowed to prolong its hateful and predatory usurpation. Will the whigs never take courage to return to the principles they once professed ? Will the voice of popular importunity never compel them to do so? The (lateral 'Lard of Health Bill was read a second time. NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Mr. HAWES obtained leave to bring In a Bill for the mranstement of Claims of the New Zealand Company ass the Crown, and for regulating the affairs of certain Settle ments established by the said Company is New Zealand. Mr. GLADSTONE represented to the Speaker that this ' being a bill for granting public money, ought to be intro duced in clronsittee of the whole house. He further ob jected to the bill, as proposing to saddle a charge upon the revenues of a colony in a manner without precedent in our colonial legislation, and at variance with all our pledges in 'regard to the colony. Mr. HAWES thought it all turned on the question whe ther New Zealand were at this moment a crown colony. He (Mr. Hawes, contended that the constitution of that colony being at present suspended, it stood in the position it did before it received that legislative constitution, and, therefore, should be regarded as a crown colony. The SPEAKER, was of opinion that the re.msure should be ref rrisl to a committee of the whole house. Leave was therefore r e fu s ed. Mr. HAWES then gave notice that he would proceed to morrow (this day) by committee. The remaining business was then disposed of, and the house adjourned at a few minutes before 3 o'clock. erpreiSO.

PROTECTION, like the wolf in the Zoological Gardens, is restlessly inuring to and fro, trying to find a wide bar in its cage through which it may break forth again. Twice of late it has made a desperate push to force its way through " agricul tural distress." Then it made a run at the malt-tax, with but indifferent success. Next came its effort to squeeze in by the chink which it vainly imagined it bad discerned iu " the milling interest,' from which it was speedily compelled to desist discomfited. Last of all we see its despairing energy devoted to an in terstice in the navigation laws repeal—of which, when it was originally left open, we expressed our misgivings, and of which we are not therefore sur prised that advantage should now be sought to be taken. It may be recollected that a reservation was made in the act of ISE), whereby the power was left to the Qtr in council to retaliate upon any country that refused our shipping similar advantages to those which we conceded to theirs. Several states, as most people arc aware, promptly took measures to recip rocate the freedom of navigation which we offered to them, and amongst the tint the great re public of North America. But upon the ground that we had declined to open our coasting trade to foreign competition, the govern ment of Washington determined to limit their con maims by the same rule. They further declared that California, being politically an integral part of the Union, the traffic between New Orleans and San Francisco must be regarded as a portion of the coast ing trade; while, on the other hand, it was con tended, on the part of Great Britain, that, territo tially, there being no identity, or even neighbour hood, between the commonwealth whose shores are washed by the Atlantic, and the mining colony on the coast of the Pacific, it was a straining of the fair meaning of the terms proffered by this country to include California in the catalogue of reservations. We are not about to re-argue the point in dispute, but rather to direct attention to the use that is made of it by the enemies of free-trade. Mr. Humes brought forward his long-threatened motion with respect to the navigation laws last night, and eagerly availed himself of every floating spar and waif of circumstantial evidence which could tend to eke out the case of failure he had under taken to make out against the first year's experiment of free-trade in shipping. The summary of the oft quoted figures on this subject is as follows: The total tonnage, lintish and foreign, entered inwards in 1149, was 6,071,269; and in 18:A, 6,119,696 : outwards in 1819, was ),429,9t)5; and in 1f( 30 it was 3.9106,1078. Of this, the amount of Bri tish tonnage in the lust two years stands thus: FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The question of the moment is the prorogation of the Assemblv, for which two motions have been pre sented. Of these, the proposition of M. Melon (111e et-Vilaiue) for the term of two months from the 18th of August, is more likely to be adopted than that of M. Ancel, for two and a half months. Fresh motions for the revision of the constitution will be presented, l and a new committee on_ revision will have to be appointed towards the end of September, whose re port would be submitted to discussion in the latter part of October. Hence the proposition for proroguing the Assembly till November 3rd is likely to be re jected. M. de Mclun's proposition is worded thus : Art 1. The Assembly shall be prorogued from August 18 to October 20. Art. 2. A committee of twenty-fire mem bers shall be named by ballot, and by the absolute majority, to fulfil, conjointly with the bureau of the Assembly, the obligations prescri bed by Art. 32 of the constitution. The committee on leaves of absence will examine to-morrow the Minister of the Interior, the presi dent of the assembly, and the reporter of the com mittee of the budget on the subject of the proroga tion of the Assembly. It is expected that the councils-general will be convoked for the 23th August. The proposed law for regulating the communes which formed the principal subject of yesterday's de bate, is the first and most important of a series of measures of internal administration, which were re ferred for preparation to the council of state as long as two years ago. The manner of electing mayors, whether by the municipal councillors, or by the in habitants of the commune at large, whether with or without any interference or control of the central government, the extent of the powers of the councils general in imposing local taxes and otherwise, and the qualification of the communal electors, are to be defined and settled. People have looked forward to the debate with much interest, chiefly because it was supposed that the necessity for de ciding whether the communal electors should be governed by absolute universal suffrage, or by some and what restrictions in regard to domi cile, or payment of taxes by the electors, would lead to an indication of the present views of the Assembly on the greater question of the political suffrage and the law of the 31st of May. Indeed it is not easy to state a reason why, in a country where the principle of universal suffrage is ostensibly acknowledged by all parties, there should be two lists of electors, one for political and another for municipal elections. However the debate yesterday, confined as it was to two vague and declamatory speeches by M. E. Arago and M. Mathieu (de la )l rUme), and a few words by M. Tinguy, made such very small progress that nothing can be gathered from it to satisfy the public curiosity. M. E. Arago dwelt at great length upon the history and antiquity of the communes, which, he said, were so engrafted in the affections of the people that ever since the charter of 1814 kings and their ministers had taken every opportunity of claiming credit to themselves for having enfranchised the communes—an honour their claim to which he INV/AM/3. 1849 4,390,:575 Ib3o 4,078,544 Decrease 311,831 OUTWAIRDS. 1949 3,762,092 1860 3,960,764 nerea , e 198,682 So that, setting off the increase outwards against the decrease inwards, there appears to be a difference in tonnage of no more than 113,000 in native shipping. This inconsiderable and no doubt casual loss is much less than the gain otherwise obtained. We find that the foreign tonnage entered inwards in 1849 was 1,680,894; and in 1830 it was 2,033,132; outwards in 1849 it amounted to 1,667,726 ; and in 1830 to 1,946,214. And thus it is manifest that the resort of foreign shit* to our ports has increased within the year twice as much as our own shipping has apparently declined. The trifling displacement is accounted for by the experimental competition suddenly permitted to take place, and to other causes. But it is not a little remark able that it has not been under the flags of those countries which Messrs. HERRIES, YouNo, and NESSDEGATE would affect to regard as our rivals on the sea, that this increase has taken place. Hardly any alteration is noticeable in American, French, or Russian shipping, while the aggregate of augmenta tion is made up of individually unimportant items, Danish, Prussian, &c. But what brought so ninny more ships to our havens in the course of the last twelve months? What but the expansion of our commercial intercourse with every portion of the civilised world? This is the sum and substance of the evil over which protec tion mourns. This is the offence against the spirit of stagnation and the grudging genius of stupidity which the House of Commons was called on to sym pathise in. Really it is high time to have an end of such solemn and saddening twaddle. If the House of Commons were constituted as it ought to be who would venture to trifle thus with the patience of an industrious and free-hearted people ? denied.

The bill proposes to con fine the execution to the section from Chalous to Avignon, by raising a loan of two millions sterling. M. Ernest Baroche, son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just set out on a special mission to Italy. The funds to-day recovered their firmness, and ex hibited a considerable improvement. The Fives closed at 95.35, with a rise of 40e. The Threes rose 30e., and closed at 57.15. This favourable reaction is attributed to the reported intention of the Minis ter of Finance to reduce still farther the interest on Treasury Bonds. SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 19. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate opened on the bill for the settlement of the floating debt. Pastor moved for fuller data ; some of these having been laid on the table by Bravo Murillo, the motion was withdrawn. Sol y Padris, a protectionist deputy of Catalonia, opposed the bill, and suggested a system for controlling the action of the government in this branch of finance. M. Sol proved that the floating debt, estimated by Bravo Murillo at 2,340,0001., was in reality 4,240,0001. This sum would have been converted into three per cent. bonds to the great prejudice of the creditors of the state. The surplus of 340,0001., upon which the president of tho council reckoned for a sinking fund to be applied to the liquidation of the floating debt, had no real existence whatever in the budget; and thus the con version, which he (M. Sol) protested against, must in the end be resorted to if this bill The report on the settlement ortr d. the debt read to day in the Senate is identical with that presented to the Chamber of Deputies. The debate is expected to begin on Tuesday. ITALY. TURIN, JVL% 24. The attention of government has been attracted to the numerous military occupations which have been ordered by Austria along the Po and the Tessin. The object of Austria is to obtain from Piedmont similar commercial advantages to those which have recently been afforded to England. It is impossible to foresee the issue of this demand on the part of Austria. The Minister of Finance, Count de Cavour, will doubtless act with extreme caution. His talent and judgment command universal confidence. The Piettmontese Gazette, of the 21st, publishes the treaty of commerce concluded between Sardinia and Switzerland. The most important article of this treaty is the following :—" Art. 8. The federal go vernment, being convinced of the great advantages which must accrue to Switzerland from the rapidity of commercial intercourse, engages in the most so lemn manner to contribute, as far as possible, to wards the construction of a railroad, leading from the Sardinian frontier, or from the most covenient point of the Logo Maggiore, to some point of Ger many, in order to meet the railroads of the Zoll vervin." This treaty is to expire on the 30th of June, 1861. ROME, Juts- 15. The Pope is still en!oying his °Hum coin diyudalc at the suburban retreat of Castel Gandolfo, and there is a report prevalent that he will not abandon the shade of those venerable ilex groves, and the delicious shores of the Alban lake, until the resolutions taken by him and his royal Bourbonie ally are carried into effect by the fiat of the catholic powers, and the submission of the French to their will. Meanwhile, his Holiness is engaged in visiting the environs of his palace, and examining the objects of temporal and spiritual interest around him. Amongst the former he has been pleased to visit the magnificent via duct in course of erection between Albano and Ariccia, and testified his sovereign satisfaction both to the architect, Chevalier Ilertolini, and the Minister of Public Works, the chief promoter of the work. On the 10th his Holiness went to dine at the monastery of Camaldolese monks, situated on the hills that slope from the ancient Tusculum down to Frascati. Cardinals Mattel and Ferretti were of the party. The bodily vigour of Pio Nono may be appreciated from the fact of his having walked from the Camaldolese convent all the way to Frascati, where he visited the nuns of St. Flavia, and subsequently repaired to the cathedral to receive the blessing imparted with the Holy Sacrament. His Holiness passed through Marino about nightfall, on his ' way back to Castel Gandolfo, and was greatly delighted at finding not only the town illuminated, but also the groves, which be had to traverse on his way to the palace. The gratitude of King Ferdinand towards the French' and Papal functionaries, who attended and escorted him during his recent visit, has just been manifested by a grand distribution of ribbons, crosses, and medals, to upwards of thirty persons, chiefly prelates and military men. General Gemeau, Monsignor Talbot, and sub-lieutenant Evangelisti (brother to the lately assassinated Chancellor), were among the number of deron:s. The mention of assassinations reminds me to observe with regret that the use of the sti letto appears to be upon the increase. Several Italian papers give out that the funds needful for the Papal railways are all ready, and that the negotia tions may be considered as satisfactorily concluded; but I have seen them all but agreed upon so often, and then broken off again, that I shall wait for more positive intelli gence before mentioning the subject again. A number of indirect government agents and Jesuitical instruments have lately left Rome for London, both to act as spies upon the conduct of those Reman subjects who have got permission to visit the Crystal Palace, and to thwart as much as possible the stringent measures which they fear the parliament may finally adopt against Papal aggressi s on. The official paper is silent on the subject of the division, and fills that part of its columns which relates to English intel ligence with interminable accounts of the Great Exhibition.

The example set by Austria—the most potent state in Germany—in suppression of the existence of any other than a servile press throughout the imperial domi nions, was meant to be followed; and to-day the papers announce that one of the smallest German states has first the honour of following this illustrious example. The' Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has issued the fol lowing ordinance relative to the suppression of journals and periodical publications throughout his little duchy : "As the measures already adopted, especially our ordi nance of 26th June, 18-10, have not sufficed to prevent the publication of periodicals which exercise the most perni „eious and dangerous influence on the welfare of the country, and as we feel it our duty as sovereign no longer to tolerate this evil, we order, after having constitutionally consulted with the close committee of our faithful knights and landed proprietors, as follows Oar whole ministry is autho- rised, having first procured my consent, totally to suppress any journal or periodical pint which may seem to them to exercise any dangerous influence, either political, social, or religious, and to take such measures as may be necessary to accomplish this object. 2.

Slum (says a contemporary) are to be conveyed to Ireland from Florence, for interment at Long Orchard, in the county of Tipperary. Lord Palmerston, in a communica tion to Mrs. Sheil, intimated the readiness of the Admi ralty to convey the remains of hrr late husband to Ireland in a vessel of war; and, on the receipt cf the reply of that lady, expressing her anxiety that such accommodation should be provided, the necessary order has been issued. A committee is in course of formation in Dublin, with a view of raising, by public subscription, a fund for the erection of a monument to the deceased statesman. intilfdSlA.V l PROPOSED REFORM IN FOREIGN POSTAGE. The following gentlemen have formed themselves into an association for the purpose of inducing the govern ments of the countries to which they belong to establish a low and uniform rate of postage on letters to and from all parts of the world—viz., Lord Ashburton, Sir J. P. Boileau, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir Roderick Murchison, Sir Stafford Northcote, Harts., the Right lion. T. M. Gibson, M.P., the lion. C. I'. Villiers, M.P., Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., Mr. George Moffatt, M.P., Mr. C. J. S. Lefevre, and Dr. Lindley, England; M. Walowski, Baron Charles Du in, and Professor D'Aubigue France ; Professor Han ' cock and Mr. C. J. Kennedy, America; Herr Von Wie• bahn, Germany; and M. dc Bergne, Russia. The association will also endeavour to induce all govern ments for the sake of economy to collect the whole of the postage chargeable on foreign letters posted in their reepec tive countries, and to collect it by means of postage stamps, and also to charge foreign postage according to one uniform scale of weights. From inquiries which have recently been made into the foreign postal department of this country, the following important facts have been elicited, viz.: lst. That the postage on the foreign correspondence does not pay the expense of conveyance. 2nd. That the high and variable postage rates on foreign letters render the compulsory prepayment of all postage im practicable, and the consequent impossibility of carrying out Rowland Hill's scheme as far as the reduction and Mill plificatim of the vast and complicated machinery of the Post-office is concerned. 3rd. That the governments of the following countries have agreed, under certain stipulations, to collect the whole of the pustago chargeable on letters to this country, in order to avoid the expense and trouble of a double collection of postage, viz, France, America, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Belgium, Baden, Switzerland, Greece, Sardinia, Tuscany, 18 ofthe German states, and eight of the northern European states, and England has agreed, under similar stipulations, to collect the whole of the postage on letters posted in Great Britain for the above named countries; and that the governments of all other countries collect only their own portion of the postage chargeable on foreign letters. Rh. That of all the local governments of the British colonies and dependencies the governments of Jamaica, Berhice ' Malta, and British North America only collect the internal and British postal rates on letters fur this country, and that England likewise only collects the combined colonial and British postage on letters for the above places. The local governments of all other colonies and dependencies collect only their own local postage rates on letters for this country. bth. That England, America, and Prussia charge foreign postage on the hall-ounce scale, and all other nations on the quarter ounce scale; and thatl owing to France, Bel gium, and Holland, the three great thoroughfares through which the Continental correspondence flows, charging ac cording to &different scale of weights from England, renders the collection of foreign postage difficult and complicated. Gth. That the foreign postage on letters to and from this country varies from 101. upwards to 2s. 9d. on a single letter, and that the collection of these various sums, the variability of foreign po.tage, according to different routes and scale rates, and the consequent necessity for correspon. dents pointing out the routes their letters are to be sent, impedes epistolary communication, and increases the cost of the postal departments. 7th. That the charge on foreign letters is not governed by the distance of their destination, since letters ter China arc charged Is. each, and those for Spain 25. 2d., but accord ing to the quantity of correspondence originating between this and any fanuitn country. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Yesterday one of the periodical fruit and flower shows of the Royal South London Floricultural Society came off at these gardens, and was, notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, very numerously attended. The supply of flowers, fruit, and vegetables was one of the best ever exhibited on a similar occasion. Mrs. Lawrence, of Ealing Park, sent a magnificent collection, and her gar deners were so fortunate as to carry off many of the prin cipal primes. The show of roses by Paul and Son was also Mash admired. In the evening a very attractive novelty was istredeceil in the shape of an efficient glee party, case sluing of Messrs. Leffler, Manvers, Young, and Miss Measent, with Mr Jolly, at the pianoforte. A damp evening was, of course, an unfavourable time for a vocal debut al fresco, but the perffnmers exerted themselves cheerfully. The audience were evidently pleased, and there is no doubt but that with more propitious weather this addition to the usual entertainments will be highly attractive.
