Loan STAN LEY'S good sense was never more conspicuous than in the lan,guage in which ho replied last night to a member of his party who wished the House of Commons to record its opi nion on the execution—" murder," Sir LAW RENII: PALK called it—of the late Archduke 111AXINIILIAN and his Generals. After recognizing the unanimity of the sentiment which that de plorable act hascalled forth throughout the country, Lord STANLEY remarked that there weretho greatest objections to the course proposed. He pointed out tluit before the House could conic to any resolution on the subject, it would havetoconsider "the policy of the " Mexican expedition, the position and status of the " unfortunate Prince in Mexico, and the right by " which lie claimed supreme power." This is suffi ciently obvious, Lord STANLEY nevertheless de serves credit for pointing it out, inasmuch as it has been common during the last few days to pass the most absolute judgments upon de character of the execution in heedlessness of these considerations. It has been assumed in sonic quarters that all questions of this kind are closed by the mere fact that MAXIMILIAN'S Government was recognised by that of the QUEEN. But the recognition of a Government proceeds from practical necessities, and settles no moral questions. We cannot recognise two governments in one country, and in case of civil war we address our selves to that one which appears for the time best able to do justice to our interest, more especially as the protection of our fellow-subjects residing in its territory is concerned. In this way we recognised MAXIMILIAN as soon as, supported by the French army, he seemed sure of being able to exercise a preponderating power. The Government of the United States had reasons directly political for continuing its recognition of President JcAnez throughout the varying fortunes of the war, confi dent in its power, sooner or later, to resuscitate the republic. By recognising the Mexican Empire we have in no wise precluded ourselves from forming an independent opinion of the status of the late Emperor, though why the friends of that unfor tunate Prince should wish to bring on a discussic n of that subject we fail to perceive. Lord STANLEY further objected to the course which Sir LA% lILNUE PALK desired to follow on the ground of precedent. He observed that this is not the first case when the triumph of one party after a protracted civil war has been followed by lamentable and sangainary act{ of retaliation, and he asked, if we were to take notice of this particular act, on what principle could we draw a distinction ? This simple questa n is of itself a weighty rebuke of that spirit of par tizanship which is betrayed as much by the vehemence of its outcries at one kind of excess as by its persistent silence in presence of equally great crimes. Lord STANLEY'S last objection to asking the House of Commons to record its opinion of this execution is that " Par " lament, however great its power and influence, " is only the Parliament of the United Kingdom, " not the Parliament of the world." We believe that a much more rational way of judging of foreign politics would by this time have prevailed amongst large and important classes of our coun trymen if former Foreign Secretaries had always held language such as this of Lord STANLEY'S. The opinion of the Government and people of Great Britain is in no danger of being over looked or undervalued abroad as long as it is formed with intelligence and fairness ; but nothing is more likely to diminish its authority than the spirit of rash and dogmatic assertion which is fostered by our repeating to one another that the British Parliament is the Areopagus of the world. Our unrivalled means of intelligence and publi city, our perfect freedom of debate, and our complete disinterestedness, give us advantages in the discussion of the affairs of other coun tries most favourable for the exercise of a healthy influenco among the nations ; but this is no reason why we should affect to set up a tribunal and summon one community after another to ou'r bar. The ordinary conduct of our relations with our neighbours will afford us abundant means of doing justice to our own character and making our position clear. In this particular instance the unanimity with which the execution of the Archduke MAxistruas has been lamented and condemned by the free public opinion of England must have as great an effect upon all Mexicans who are accessible to moral influences as the severest censure which Parliament could record, without the countervailing disadvantage which attends the interference of one Government with the internal affairs of another. As to future diplomatic intercourse with Mexico, Lord STANLEY explained, in answer to Mr. OTWAY, that to abstain from relations with the Mexican Govern ment would be to punish, not it, but the British residents in Mexico ; that at present those rela tions are in abeyance, not because we have re called our Minister, but because the Government to which lie was accredited has disappeared ; and that the question whether we shall send out a Minister to ('resident JUAREZ will be decided at the proper time, according to such information as we may receive as to the position and stability of his Government. THE Bankruptcy Bill suffered yesterday the fate which awaits measures which at this period of the session itill linger in their earlier stages, and the Arroaerr•GlNllAL announced that it would be withdrawn.

Elie Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, .7171.7 11. The Queen, accompanied by Prince and Princess Louie of Hesse and Prince's Beatrice, drove in the ground' yesterday afternoon ; and her Majesty, with Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, went out in the Homne.purk this morning. Princess Louise returned to Windsor Castle last even ing, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington and Lord Alfred Paget. Prince and Princess Louis of Besse, Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Victoria of Hesse, drove down to the Home-park this afternoon, and distributed the prizes at the annual meeting of the Prince Consort's Association. In attendance were the Baroness Schenck, Lord Alfred Paget, and Captain Von Westerweller. Prince Arthur. attended by Mujor Elphinstone and Lieutenant Pickard, has arrived at the Castle. The Duke of Richmond, President of the Board of Trade, and the Earl of Tanterville, Lord Steward, arrived at the Castle yesterday, and had the honour of dining with the queen and the royal family. Messrs. Howell, James, and Co., of Regent-street, have had the honour of submitting for her Majesty's inspec tion the gold and enamelled jewels (49 in number) to be worn by the members of the committee for the enter tainment to his Majesty the Sultan at Guildhall on the 18th inst. Messrs. Howell, Jaynes, and Co. have also had the honour of exhibiting the design of the gold casket which they have been commissioned by the corporation of the City to execute for presentation to his Majesty the Sultan. The Princess of Wales, attended by the Hon. Mrs. W. Grey, took a carriage drive yesterday. In the evening, the Prince of Wales, attended by Viscount Hamilton, General Sir W. Knollya, and Captain Ellis, dined with the Lord Mayor at the Man sion-hones. THE ARRIVAL OF THE SULTAN. (THIS DAY.) The Sultan arrived at Boulogne at 11.20 last night, haring left Paris by a special train. Be is attended by a suite of 100 persons. Great preparations had been made at Boulogne by decorators specially sent from Paris for the purpose. The town was gaily adorned with flags, and the fort was illuminated. After pawing the night at the Pavilion Hotel, the Sultan embarked between 7 and N o'clock, a.m., this morning, and breakfasted on board the imperial yacht, La Relate Hortense, which then proceeded to Dover escorted by several vessels of the French navy, including three ironclad', and also by two English frigates. A telegram from Dover, received at noon to-day through Reuter'■ agency, says :—" The Sultan arrived here in the Imperial yacht La Reins Hortense, at a quarter to 11 this morning, and was received by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Viceroy of Egypt and staff. The fleet in the bay saluted and manned yards. His Majesty proceeded to the Lord Warden Hotel, where an address was presented by the Mayor and corporation. The train with the illustrious party left for London at half-past 12." The Turkish ambassador and hie officials arrived yester day at the Lord Warden Hotel, Where the l'rince of Wales also stopped, having left the Charing.cross station at 11.45 p.m. last night after the Mansion House dinner. Workmen have been employed during the last three weeks in so preparing the apartments appropriated to his Majesty at Buckingham Palace that, whilst calculated to uphold the character of the nation for hospitality, they shall afford such accommodation as an Oriental potentate requires and expects. The rooms which have been ret apart for his Majesty are generally designated the Belgian suite, and it would appear that they have not been occu pied in any state form since about the year 1853. They are connected together by communicating doors, and as they are accessible from the marble entrance-hall, they are conveniently situated in regard to the terrace gardens, which the windows overlook. The entire suite of rooms have been altogether restored and redecorated. All the curtains, hangings, and ornamentations are en. tircly new, and the experience of the artificers has been so directed that the result is not so much calculated to show that a sudden transformation has been effected as to con vey the impression that the Sultan will be received in apartments which have little more than their ordinary attractions to recommend them. While the bath-room and lobbies are hung with chintz, and the bed-room is coloured with deep rose, and green silk hangings, the bow' windowed drawing-mom is tinted with French grey, white, and gold. The furniture in the drawing-room is for the most part of polished wood and gold, and the curtains are of deep crimson. The prevailing characteristic through out is that of extreme delicacy and aerial lightness, and this result is, in a great measure, contributed to by the tasteful ornamentation of the ceilings, which, being some what low, have been dealt with in such a manner as to suggest increased height as well as additional cheerfulness. Several thousand flowers have been brought from Kew Gardens, and these have been banked all along the garden terrace, on the grand staircase (which has been completely restored for the occasion), and in the fire-places, in such profusion and with such regard to pictorial effect that the result is one of the most animated beauty and luxuriance. The pavilion in the garden bas been renovated, the conservatory has been rearranged, and by the side of the lake two large marquees have been erected, in which the Sultan will find many of those evidences of refinement and elegance whi , l an Oriental prince may be accustomed to. The facilities afforded for an agreeable communication between the Sultan'. apart ments and the arrangements in the garden form a very interesting feature in the general plan, and it may be especially remarked that his Majesty will have it in his power to enjoy the strictest privacy both within the royal palace and without. Independently of the more tem porary decorations of the rooms, it should be stated that the walls are adorned with portraits of the various reigning families in Europe and persons illustrious in history. The Sultan will visit her Majesty at Windsor Castle to ' morrow morning, and will stay to luncheon. In the even ing his Majesty will be entertained by the Prince of Wales at Marlborough House. The Duke of Cambridge will give a grand entertainment to hislmperial Majesty on the 19th inst. at Gloucester House. The royal paddle-yacht Osborne, Commander John d'Arcy, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from Cherbourg with his Royal Highness Prince Arthur on board. The Prince landed immediately after the yacht's arrival, and proceeded by mid-day train to London. The Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Mary Adelaide of Teck, attended by Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lord Frederick Paulet, C. 8., honoured M. and Madame Van de Weyer with their company at dinner last evening. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Lady Caroline Lennox, Lord Henry Lennox, M.P., Lord aed Lady Ehury and the Hon. Miss Grosvenor, Lord and Ludy Moho, Viscount loscelles, Colonel and the Hon. Mrs. Loyd Lindsay, the Prince Alphonse de Chimay and Mr. and Mrs. Farquhar, and Mr. M. Holtzmann were invited to meet their royal highnesses. The 'Count and Countess de Path received at dinner at York House, Twickenham, on Wednesday even ing, the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe•Weimar, the Italian Minister, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanri card., the Earl of Clamadon, the Earl and Countess of Besaborough, the Earl and Countess of Cork, the Right Hon. Chichester Forteacue, M.P., and Frances. Couutess Wahlegrave, Viscount and Viscountess Stratford de Rad cliffe and Hon. Miss Canning, the Right Hon. Sir Hamil ton and Lady Seymour, the Very Rev, the Dean of Westminster, and Lady Augusta Stanley, Sir Roderick Murchison, Madame Graham, Mr. P. Graham, Captain Hosier, Ice. The marriage of the Prince de Teano and Mir Wilbraham, eldest daughter of Colonel Hon. Edward and Mrs. Wilbraham, and niece of the Countess of Derby, took place yesterday forenoon at the Spanish Chapel, Spanish. place, Manchester-square. The party arrived jolt before half-past eleven, at which time the ceremony commenced, the &v. Edward Tay'er officiating. The church was crowded with the friends of both families. The bride, who was accompanied by her father, was attended to the altar by six bridesmaids, the Hon. Roes B. Wilbraham (cousin to the bride), Miss Emily and Miss Evelyn Wilbra ham (sisters to the bride), Miss Blanche Herbert, Miss Ethel Lennox, and Mir Blanche Pringle. After the cere mony the prince and princess with their friends adjourned to Colonel the Hon. Edward and Mrs. Wilbraham's resi dence. avoided ; certainly, however, it is too late to malts a goal Bill of a bad one which has istm to pan through Committee. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TRADES . UNIONS COMMISSIONS. Though the public a ill share the very natural reluctance expressed by several members yesterday to extend any further the indemnity already enjoyed by the Sheffield murderers, the rib4f4 thinks the public will, ups" the whole, agree with Mr. Bouverie that we are not paying too high a price fur the revelations elicited, and that it is clear that unless these indemnities had been granted such revelations would never lave been obtained. If anything, however, could make the T,us,, hesitate in coming to this conclusion, it would be the attitude now assumed in Shef field towards these convicted inurtlent». Itroidhead is the landlord of a public-house, and is said to have driven a thriving trade since be achieved such infamous notoriety. But the case of Crooke* the most extraordinary and the most disgraceful instance of the tone adopted in Sheffield on the subject. As Sir G. Grey says, it is amazing and di.graceful that any of Crookes's fellow artisans should consent to work with him. But what can we expect when a clergyman and several gentlemen of the town are all absorbed in grief at this man's "sufferings"? The pardon of the government means nothing but that they have consented to bold justice in abeyance for a great public advantage, and this entails on the Sheffield public the duty of inflict ing, in souse degree, the punishment from which the law is restrained, and to make the ruffians feel that they are not spared on account of any extenuating circumstances in their crimes. The question is a fair one, says the Da is., ./Ct ue., whether the knowledge which has been gained at the risk of inverting the object of the law, is worth the price which must be paid for it. lint this question should have been considered before the commissioners were appointed. The promise of indemnity is the grout instrument of discovery placed in their hands, and its use implies all the dangers which are now tardily recognised. Having commenced this inquiry, it is the duty of the country to go on with it to the end, to face the truth, and to leave nothing that can be discovered undetected. To shrink beck in terror from revelations which might have been, and were antici pated, instead of following tho track which they point oat, is the surest way of making the investigation fruitless. The remedy will not be disclosed until the worst i 1 known. It is in the highest degree important to know bow far the taint extends, who are free from it, and who are polluted by it. The demoralising effect of seeming to condone murder and of feeding a perverted appetite for horrors is undeniable ; but having laid bare the wound, it is nooea sar► to probe it to the bottom. The Standard believes Mr. B. Cochrane's assertions that criminal violence is characteristic of the whole system of trades-unionism ; that murder, of a kind peculiarly hor rible and difficult of detection, is practised by the masons ; and that brutal outrage, short of murder, is inflicted by the generality of these societies—to be terribly probable. It is impossible, says the Standard, agreeing with Professor Beesley, to put any trust in indignation meetings and pro fessions of astonishment and horror. MISIC73.LASZOCS Topics. A cursory examination of the Reform Rill, as amended in committee, reveals to the Times the necessity of vigi lance in revising it or plenty of work will be given to lawyers. The trifling inconsistencies of phraseology which have arisen from the intervention of too many " artistes" will in great measure be removed, but the bill itself will remain the monument of many minds. The scheme of re distribution contains no hint that Mr. Disraeli has realised the real nature of the problem of reform. The merit of it is his ; but when the historian of the future estimates the Reform Act of lai'd he may have to say that it consisted of two parts, of which the one was valuable, and was the production of the House of Commons, and the other was valueless, and was the work of the minister. Several of our contemporaries this morning offer a wel come to the Belgian riflemen, and others bespeak a friendly reception for the Sultan. The style in which the Tele graph treats both topics, an extract from the article itself can alont show. It says :—" Even our grey English weather has taken up a foreign fashion, and our old friend the foggy British sun give us brilliant little rays adapted from the French. We must leave the bright faces of English girls to complete the welcome. They must not attack the Sultan because, like St. Paul's model bishop, he is the husband of one wife ; but as to the ven turous Belgian bachelors who have dared to invade us, they should receive no quarter ; not one should be allowed to quit us heart-whole or fancy free. We must teach these rash men what it is to oome within the range of the artil lery of Englishwomen's eyes." Conjecturing what an observer so shrewd as the Viceroy of E:ypt is said to be, thinks of his first week's experience of England, the Daily News remarks that up to last evening he could have seen nothing which so much needed the medi ation of a second mind as the dinner given, nominally, to him at the Mansion House. How a stranger can be honoured by a crowd of two or three hundred people, most of them of no distraction whatever, the ordinary and eager frequenters of the Lord Mayor's table, eating in his presence an elaborate and oppressive meal, is one of those things which afford fine scope for ingenious explanation. Oo the whole, it might be better to mill - mess the risings of curiosity on such a subject. A time will no doubt come when we can talk more at our ease upon such matters, when the chief places in the first of our municipalities will be accepted, though perhaps not sought, by men capable of representing the vast commerce, the courageous enterprise, and the enlightened munificence of London ; when we shall be spared the spectacle of expense without magnifi cence. and pomp without taste or dignity, and when • guest at the Mansion-house may feel that he is truly ac cepting the hospitality of the greatest city in the world. THE VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE DUKE OF Roxsuackie.—We understand that her Majesty will not arrive in Kelso before Wednesday, the 2lst of August. She will travel by the Wsverley route, and will arrive at the Kelso station between the hours of eight and ten in the morning—as near ten as possible , it as expected. Con siderable interest is manifested in Kelso, and all over the Border district, in anticipation of the royal visit. Upwards of '2OOl. have been subscribed in Kelso for the purpose of decorating the public buildings land for triumphal arches. Immediately on her arrival at the Kelso stati o n h er Majesty will go to Floors Castle, and it is expected that the reception will be the grandest ever given in this district to any of the members of the royal family. There will be a grand triumphal royal arch at the end of Kelso Bridge, where an address will be presented to her ' Majesty by the chief magistrate of Kelso, and where forty of the prettiest young ladies in Kelso will strew flowers on the royal path. There will also be another grand triuni phal arch at the head of Rozburglie.street, and all the houses in the town will be decorated with flags, evergreens, kc. The arches of Kelso Bridge will he hung with paclefl, lights in the evening, and various other decorations are oleo contemplated. On Thursday the 22nd, her Majesty will drive to Jedburg, on her way to Greenhill, the shoot ing-box of the Duke of Roxburghe, in the Cheviots, and will return on Friday. She will visit Abbotsford,Melrose, and Dryburgh also on the Friday. She will leave Floors Cantle on Saturda.y. for Balmoral.—Seetraron. THE STATE VISIT TO THE OPERA. —The cere many of the reception of the Sultan in the Floral-hall on the occasion of the state visit on Monday next bids fair to present many novel features. The Sultan will be ac companied by his Imperial Highness Monseigneur Youssouf Izzedin Effendi, eldest son of his Imperial Majesty; his Imperial Highness Monseigneur Harold Effendi, nephew of his Imperial Majesty ; anal by his Imperial Highness Monseigneur Marred Effendi, nephew of his Imperial Majesty. His Majesty's suite consist, of no fewer than fifty-nine persona ; and he will also be attended by the following officers of her Majesty's household, viz. : —The Lord Steward, the L or d Chamberlain, the Muter of the Horse, the Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, the Gold Stick, the Vox-Chamberlain, the Treasurer of her Majesty's Household, the Controller of her Majesty's Household, the Silver Stick, the Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, and the Controller of the Lord Chamberlain's De partment. An escort of cavalry will attend his Majesty the Sultan from Dudley-house, Park-lane, to the Opera. His Royal Higbee= the Prime of Wales, attended by his suite, and accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and other members of the Royal Family, will arrive shortly before the Sultan, in readiness to re oeive his Majesty in the Floral-ball. On the conclusion of the ceremony of the reception the procession will be formed; and pass from the west to the east end of the Floral-hall, then emend the staircase leading through the crush-room of the Opera-house to the royal box. As soon as the royal party arrive in the box , which will be placed in the centre of the house, the curtain will rise, and the National Anthem will be sung. The opera, Amber's MaAaniello will then commence. The galleries as well as the lateral aisles of the Floral-hall are to be set apart for spectators, the aisles being separated from the centre 0! the hall by low batiks of plants cad Bowers. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (aorta's TZLZCEAMS.) THE EXECUTION OF THE EMPEROR, MAXIMILIAN. NEW YORK, Jr it 4. Official advices received here from Mexico an nounce that the Emperor Maximilian was shot on the 19th June. The execution was postponed by Juarez for three days. The British and Prussian ministers had strongly protested against the execution, and were preparing to leave the country. The Prussian Minister assured Juarez that several crowned heads in Europe would give an undertaking that if the life of the Emperor was spared he would leave Mexico forthwith. JuarezarAl his ministers replied that the safety of the country demanded the execution. Esoobedo has declared that ho would confiscate the property of all Im perialists, and expresed the hope that before his military career ended he should see the blood of every foreigner in Mexico spilled. Diaz captured the City of Mexico on the 20th. No particulars have been received. The American press generally express great sympathy fur Maximilian. HUNGARY. Jtaa 12.

ITALY. FLORENCE, JOLT 11, Errznica. In to-day's sitting of the Italian Parliament the debate on the Ecclesiastical Property Bill was resumed. Signor Mancini defended the right of the State to the property of the church. He said that the programme of Count Cavour which signi fied freedom of the church was strictly bound up with tho condition that Rome should be the capital of Italy. He criticised the last ap pointments of bishops, and said that the government should not abandon its weapons of de fence against the Roman government, which has committed acts contrary to civilisation, liberty, and the independence of Italy. Signor Cordova and Borgetti defended the late ministry. Signor Mancini replied that when the part payment of the Roman debt was asked for the government ought to have made it conditional upon the recognition of Italy. (Applause.) SPAIN. MADRID, JULY It.

Jules Fevre on the occasion of his election to the French Academy, which was postponed on account of his illness, came off yester day at the Grand Hotel. it was originally in tended to have been a dinner given exclusively by the bar, but the committee ultimately enlarged tho programme, and gave a more general character to the festival. Upwards of 300 sat down to dinner in the great room of the Grand HoteL M. Berryer presided, and was supported by MM. Carnot, Marie, Lanjuinais, Gamier Nee, Senard, Jules Simon, Ernest Picard, Havin, Glais-Bizoin, Beth mont, Javal, de Janzai, de Grammont, Malezicux, Magnin, Dorian, Pelletan, Honon, Girot-Pouzol, and the Duke de Marmier. Amongthe company not belonging either to the bar or the Corps Legislatif were MM. Renan, Cochut, de Jouvencde, Georges Lafayette, Maurice Bixio, Olozaga, the chief of the progressist party in Spain, Loon Say, Vavin, Villaume, Lambert, Sainte-Croix, Henri Martin, the historian, and Barthblemy. No such banquet has ever taken place in France since the founda tion of the empire, and a due amount of credit must be given to the police for the tolerance which allowed so many opponents of government to assemble together. Although the event was no doubt apolitical demonstration, no abuse was made of the privilege. The only speeches made were complimentary ones exchanged between M. Jules Fevre and his " venera ble master and friend "M. Berryer. The applause given to both was tremendous. Every sentence they spoke was greeted by a sympathising audience, which did not always hear, with unani mous and vigorous clapping of hands and shouts of "bravo" which lasted several seconds. At the con clusion M. Jules Fevre took M. Berryer in his arms and kissed him with " effusion," a demon stration which was greeted with thunders of applause. The wholesome precedent set by M. Sainte. Benve in refusing to fight a duel is being followed. The Cowries. Francais to-day records the positive refusal of one of its writers, M. Duchene, to fight with one of the two Cassagnacs, junior, upon the question whether their father's name ought to be written Granier de Cassagnac or with a parenthesis thus, Granier (de Cassagnac). Again, M. Weiss, an eminent professor, educated at the Ecole Nor male, having contrasted the severity of M. Duruy in dissolving that school with his indulgence for his own sons, MM. Anatole and Albert Duruy, who both continue to hold public offices notwithstanding the duel, under scan dalous circumstances, fought by one, and the affray with M. Bravay at the Lyons Railway sta tion, in which the other was the aggresaor—M. Anatole Duruy called at the office of the Journal do Paris to challenge M. Weiss, and on the latter saying he would not fight, he gave him a blow on the head. Journalists are now the most fighting men in France, and there is a school of bravoes among them who hold it a religion that every man, no matter what his age, habits, or principles, is bound to go out whenever called upon for the most frivolous cause. M. Sainte-Beuve has done good service to society by setting an example which people have now moral courage to follow. Of the assault committed by M. Anatole Duruy on M. Weiss I presume the proper court of law will take cognisance. There was a little more animation at the Bourse. Rente rose 15c. fur cash and 12i.c. for account, closing at 69fr. and 68fr. 90c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c.; Credit Foncier, 12fr. 50c. ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 15c.; and Italian, 90c. ANOTHER SCENE IN THE FRENCH CHAMBEIt. In IVedneaday's sitting of the Corps Legislatif, M. Jules Favre, in replying to M. Rouher, the Minister of State, said s—The government is responsible not only for the security and honour of France, but also for her treasure and blood. (Commotion.) To lavish her blood is a crime. To speculate upon and recklessly to compromise her revenue by employing it in defence of a cause which must inevitably fail is more than a fault. To spill the blood of our poor soldiers in a foreign interest, is a responsibility from which no eloquence on the part of any minister can free the government. (Great interruption.) I will add that it is not only Mexico you wished to strike ; through the heal& of Mexico you likewise sought to pierce that of America. (" Enough, enough," loud denials.) M. BELMONTEL. —You ►re denouncing France ; it is not patriotic. M. FAcRE—The result of the expedition, on the con trary, has been to aggrandise America ; the end of your policy has been to throw this fine country which you de sired to save from anarchy into the arms of the United States. (Interruption.) Yu, in that note of the Moniteur which I alluded to the other day as insulting to a govern ment which has strength, and against which you are now powcrless—(confusion and cries of " Enough")—in that note yon said that Mexico would be too happy at being absorbed by her powerful neighbours. Having thus, compromised the finances of France, having made use of French blood in a manner that must weigh heavily on your consciences—(uproar)—l hare a tight to say that in a free country you would be impeached. (Repeated and continued uproar, several voices crying out " Order, order," " Enough," " Adjourn.") Marquis de Ilavaulcouer—lt is those whose speeches have assisted Juarez that ought to be impeached. President SCHNEIDEIt—I must remind you, 31. Fevre, that exaggeration in the form always proves weakness in substance of a speech. (Applause.) M. Jr t.mi FAvag—lt is because in France—(the noise here prevented the speaker from finishing his sentence.) Several Mgmetas—We have not heard the concluding words of the speaker. The Pagemurr—l confess that I have not heard them. Several SIZXBEILIS—Nobody has. Pamsmnr—Then they cannot be and will not be inserted in the Moniteur. M. JULIA Fsvas—lf it is so—(repcated and increased uproar.) PREslDEn—Gentlemen, give by your moderation an example of that moderation which I wish the speaker to observe. M. JULES Fever—Moderation means liberty. (Ex clamations.) It is liberty, and there is no liberty when the Moniteur, which ought to reproduce our discussions, is mutilated by the will of him who presides. (Renewed up roar. Applause on the left.) M. Fame then descended from the tribune. The Pitatiturzrr—l cannot pass by the last words of M. Fevre. The merit, the right, and the duty of the Moniker is above everything to be true, but in order that it may be true, it mutt mention exactly what has taken place. Now the last words which have been referred to were not beard by the chamber or by the president. (" True ! True!" Agitation.) M. FAVRE—I am ready to repeat them. The Paitsmenr—lf the hon. 111. Jules Fevre reads the Moniteur to-morrow it will certainly do him this justice that it bag reported many things and many attacks which Ido not wish to characterise. Whatever be their nature he will find thew in the Monitesr. M. GLAts-Blzios—They ought to be there. (Cries of "Adjourn, adjourn.") The PRESIDENT—The adjournment is asked for, and I am going to consult the chamber. M. TH I REM —I desire to add a word. The PRESIDENT—An adjournment has been asked for, and you can only speak on that motion. Baron La BaanvincEn—M. President, if the discussion is to be continued it is I who have the right of speaking, but I ask for the adjournment. The Passlnwar—An adjournment is asked for, and M. Thies has to speak on that question. After a few words from M. THUMB the sitting was closed. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAIL- WAY. Mr. Woodd has reported to the House of Com mons from the committee on group 12 of railway bills : ' That in the case of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 1), and London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way (No. 2) Bills, they had, pursuant to the instruction of the house, consolidated the said bills into one bill " to authorise the Londor ;Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany to raise a sum of money for the satisfaction of certaM claims, and for other purposes relating to the un dertaking of the Company," and have agreed to the following report:—" The object of the bill is the creation of extraordinary powers with respect to the raising of money with a view to the extrication of the Lon- I don Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, whose financial embarrassments are notorious, and whose affairs aro now in the hands of the Court of Chancery. One of the objects of the bill is to stay litigation to which the company is now subject, and to confer on the Court of Chancery a wide discre tion in dealing with the litigation now before them, ►nd in the method of trying questions which may hereafter be brought before them. Both bills contemplated the raising of money by mortgage to take priority over the existing mortgages and other charges of the company, but the com mittee determined not to interfere with the existing inort. gages, or any existing charges or priorities upon the company's property, unless with the express written con sent of the parties interested. That the bill does not authorise any new works. That there are no other cir cumstances of which, in the opinion of the committee, it is desirable that the house should be informed." Mr. Woodd further reported from the committee " That they had examined the allegations of the bill so consoli dated, and amended the same by incorporating with it certain of the allegations contained in both the bills which the committee has consolidated, and found the the same as amended to be true and had gone through the bill, and made amendments thereunto." The imperial French mew yacht Prince Jerome arrived in the Solent yesterday morning from Cherbourg, with Prince Napoleon and the Duke and Duchess &Aosta on board. The yacht anchored in Ryde Roads after dis embarking her illustrious passengers. THE NAVAL RgviEw.—The fleet at Spithead will again weigh their anchors this morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, and steam out to the south-east, clear of the shoals, where a aeoond rehearsal of the chief evolution to be performed on the review day —inversion of the order of steaming, will be made.

THE MARCH TO THE GUILDHALL. Thin morning the Belgian volunteers mustered in the Quadrangle, Somerset House, previous to marching to the Guildhall The news of the gathering Kan spread, and before half-put 10, large numbers of spectators arrived. Shortly before 11 the bands of the Antwerp Infantry amps, and the Bruxelles Chasseem FoLdreurs struck up " God save the Queen," at the conclusion of which loud cries of " Hip, hip, hurrah," and "Encore" were raised, and the second performance wee responded to with renewed shout s and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. This was followed by the bands playing the Belgian national air. By this time Colonel Gregoire, of Antwerp, and 'olonel Verstme temDerneurs and Colonel Devia, of Brussels, who hoe the command of the volunteers, were on the ground, While getting the various corps in order a succession of Popular airs were played, and the vast quadrangle raw seated a scene of extraordinary interest. Every window was lined with spectators, including a number of ladies, and even the house tops found plenty of occupants. At 20 past 12 the bugle was sounded fur the departure of the volunteers. On marching into the Strand loud cheers were raised by the thousands of people assembled. Throughout the whole line of procession the reception was most cordial. There were cheers at every step, and • fnendly expressions were constantly exchanged. The bells of the various churches were set ringing, and some little display of flags was made in the several streets through which the procession passed—the Strand, Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, and Cheapside. The western side of Temple bar was gaily dressed with Rags, and round the arch were wreaths of laurels. Dr. Bays, chief of the medical staff belonging to the corps, was in attendance ; and a vivan there, attached to an infantry corps, attracted particular attention. On reaching Guildhall the cheering had not in the least abated, and the hearty expressions of the multi tude there did not cease till the last man had entered the hall. DEJEUNF.H AT GUILDHALL At the Guildhall a dijedner of an inexpensive character was provided for the entertainment of the guests. It must, of course, always be • serious matter to cater for 3,000 persons, for, when to the 2,400 Belgians were added those who were invited to meet them, there could not be less than that number to be provided for in some way. To ensure adequate space for all, the aides of the vestibule were filled with tables. Some hundreds were entertained in various other parts of the build ing, a large party assembling under the presi dency of Alderman Finn* and the surplus, • considerable number, were feasted at Coopers'•halL The more distinguished guests and English visitors were of course to be found at the upper table, placed on • dais. Here, in order to prevent confusion amid such a mass of people, the places were carefully marked ; but in other parts of the room all that could be done was to make such arrangements as seemed best likely to secure order, and in this respect nothing wan wanting. There was a great number of stewards actively engaged in the performance of their onerous duties. The following were at the upper table :—The Lord Mayor, in the chair. On his right sat Priam Teek, the Duke of Grafton, the Belgian Chargé d'Affaires, Earl Cowper, Lord Londesborough, Lord Itanelagh, Colonel H. C. Lindsay, M.P., Lieut.-CoL Lindsay, M.P., Major- General Lord Paulet. On the Lord Mayor's left were Colonel Gregoire, Commander of the Belgian volunteers ; the Duke of Manchester ; M. Anspack, the Bourg°. insister of Brussels ; M. Van de Weyer, Belgian Minister ; Viscount Bury, General Sir IL Cust, the Lord Mayor of York, Major-General Seymour, Mr. Malcolm, DI.P. There was a very large attendance of English volunteer', there being scarcely any metropolitan regiment which was not represented either by its commanding officer or some other leading member of the corps. Tho varied uniorms, in which crimson, dark and light grey, and other colours were mingled, produced a very pretty effect as they were seen dotted about the spacious hall. The band of the Ist Surrey Volunteers was present by invitation of the corporation. The time fixed for the arrival el the volunteers at Guildhall was I o'cloek. It was about half-past 1 when the first detachment reached the Guildhall. The reeeption,both outside end inside,wu enthusiastic, the band in the hall playing the " Braben eonne," the national air of Belgium, and tbe English visitors previously resembled greeting their friends with hearty cheers. As the Belgian volunteers marched through the room to the various places prepared fur them, the hurrahs were again and again renewed. The spectacle was au exceedingly pleasant one to wit ness, and it was manifest that this welcome was more than that of the corporation, though for the moment there rested upon it the responsible task of reprewntine the English nation in this great return visit. The processions which was in twos and threes, occupied a considerable time, and it was after 2 before the dijediur commene.d. There was, indeed, one regrettable feature in the scene, namely. that nearly all the places at the tables in the triad hall were occupied by Englishmen, so that the Belgians them selves, who should have been the meet conspicuous of all, were scarcely visible, or, at all events, but sparsely represented. The Lost) MATOR then proposed, " The Ganle Civique of Belgium, and our other Belgian visitors." Colonel GREGOIRE, after a most enthusiastic reoeptioe, replied in French, the following being a translation :—This splendid end cordial greeting touches us deeply, and I am happy to be permitted, on the part of my companions in arms, to express to you our live liest gratitude for the eery friendly anal ;:enerons sentiments which have animated you in preparing for us such a truly fraternal reception. We indeed rejoice to meet you, an our joy is heightened by the fact that .e now step upon the shores of your great, fr. e. brave o'.d England. I thank you, my lord and gentleme 1, for the great honour the corpora ion and the City of London have .al Ito oar Sovereign Leopold 11. and the Bigian people. ((;rest and prolonged cheering.)
