TO-MOlBow—Morning, 43 440 Afternoon, 64 Sao, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 2. Ws trust our Chinese friends who visited the House of Commons last evening were more amused with the proceedings than the native occupants of the Strangers' gallery can have been. In sober truth, it was s deadly-lively business for those who sought • feast of eloquence, though we hold it to be just and necessary that at least one night should be given up to the multitude of members who, in the absence of an audienoe, have consti tuents to convince of their legislative existence, and that the novices more especially should have an opportunity of hearing their own prose. Excepting the speeches of Sir Mani CAIRNS and the Loan Aiwa:ars, the episodical attempt of one desperate member to disperse the House by counting it out while Mr. WHALLEY was giving tongue, and Lord Etc Ho's gallant sally against the ministerial position just before the adjourn ment was moved by Lord Jolts MANNERS, last evening's discussion carried the question no further, and seemed only to give breath tothe leadersof both parties, who on Monday next are to descend into the lists in single combat. The LORD ADVOCATE'S speech, however, will have left its mark on the de bate. It had the double merit of brevity and directness. Less forensic than that of Sir Huoa Camas, it was larger in spirit, and fax more con stitutional and statesmanlike. Dealing with the Member for Belfast's references to the borough franchise in Scotland, it simply disproved them one after the other by a plain statement of facts. irien, rising to the higher considerations of constitutional policy, the Loan ADVOCATE convicted the Member for Caine's arguments of something more than an affected dread of Democracy—of striking at the very root of the representative system. Mr. Lows had insisted that, whether it was a constituency like his own, of 150 electors, or a constituency of thousands, that returned members to the House, mattered absolutely nothing, if only the result was conducive to good government. There is more of logical propriety, perhaps, than the Loan ADVOCATI admits in this idea of representa tion, considering its source. The member for a nobleman's nomination borough very fitly repre sents blood, culture, good manners, and aristo cratic privilege : nor could he fitly represent anything else. Look at his constituency, and you easily understand the member for Calne's anti pathy to representation of the people. But Mr. Lows and his followers should have longer memories. They denounces 71. franchise aa though it were a revolutionary innovation, and utterly foreign to the traditions of the old constitutional Liberal party in this country, forgetting that in 1797, the Lord GREY, who thirty-five years after passed the first Reform Bill, proposed a household suffrage bill, and was supported by Mr. Fox, who has been generally regarded as a tolerably well-bred Whig. The LORD ADVOCATE quoted a very striking passage from the speech of Mr. Fox on that occasion, in which the great Whig orator scorned the cant of a " virtual " representation of the people by a select and privileged constituency. In these degenerate days the " great Constitu " tional Party," as the Tory Opposition designate themselves, are shocked by the proposition that the British Constitution contains the elements of monarchy, of oligarchy, and of democracy ; and that the House of Commons represents the democracy, or, in other words, the government of the people by the people, through their repre sentatives. According to the Caine theory, no doubt the House of Commons should represent a few noble owners of large estates, small boroughs, and liberal ideas of bureaucratic government, and we are not entirely persuaded that the LORD ADVOCATE was not conceding somewhat too much in saying that no element of oligarchy could be found in the House of Commons. In saying that no element of oligarchy ought to be found in the House of Commons, according to the theory and principle of the Constitution, he reminded Mr. Lows's followers of a fundamental truth which they would too willingly forget. There is a curious mixture of slyness and sim plicity in the habits of the gentlemen of " the " Cave." This artful natvet4 wan most in nocently displayed at the close of last night's debate by the sudden, though evidently preoonoerted, sally attempted by Lord Ewa°, with all that air of solemnity which he has studied, not unsuccessfully, to acquire since he became a profound politician, and all that martial bravura which his distinguished and arduous services on the harmless field of Wimbledon have made a sort of second nature to the hero. Turning to the Treasury bench, and pointing at the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Lord Etcuo demanded a categorical and instant answer to a question which he put on the strength of a certain " rumour in the House." Accord ing to this mysterious and somewhat mythical rumour, it was not the intention of the Govern ment in the event of their obtaining a majority against Captain HATTER'S amendment to proceed with the Reform Bill during the prdent Session. So Lord Ezeno desired to be informe 1 "at once" whether the rumour was correct, in order that suffering patriots and martyrs like himself, who in obedience to a strong sense of duty had felt obliged to place themselves in opposition to tl•e Government on this question, though still remain ing attached to " the party," might be released from the painful necessity of endangering the exist ence of the Government by their votes. To this generous and sympathetic appeal the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied with freez ing calmness, to the effect that he was not aware of any such rumour, or of the sources from which it could be derived, and was even a little sceptical about its currency ; but that he musc beg those who had raised it or believed in it to wait until he had the honour to address the House on Monday next to ascertain the intentions of the Government. To invent such a rumour and to give it a forced currency needed no remarkable ingenuity in the gentlemen of the Cave ; but we are at a loss to understand its motive or ols'ect. If Lord Ezell° and his friends are so anxious not to imperil the existence of the Government their course is clear : they will vote with the party to which they still desire to belong ; let the Bill pass into committee, and leave to the legiti mate operations of the obstructive party to defeat it by delay. By so doing, they will have the additional satisfaction—if, indeed, they are, after all, advanced Reformers in disguise—of preparing the way for a future Bill, compared with which the present one will be "as water unto wine." And if the Government is defeated, they will at least have the comfort of knowing that it died in open fight against its foes, and was not stabbed in the back by its friends. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

Boars and de Champs, interpreters, visited West minster Abbey sad the Houses of Parliament, being met by the Peg Rev. Dr. Stanley and Admiral Sir Augustus Clifford, Bart., C.B. Later, they occupied seats an the diplomatic gallery of the House of Commons, and in the evening went to Colonel Stodare's performances at the F4Tptian-hall.

They afterwards railed on Captain Rd monatone, C. 8., of the Royal Dockyard, Woolwich. q ‘ .BIXPREss ww), OVA OONTEMPORARIEe Arms DIM) TIM lIIaITSIINCI OF WAIL The conduct attributed to Austria of demand ing that no project for the cession of Venetia shall be dis cussed in the conference, and her transference of Holstein to the confederation, with an order to convoke the estates of that duchy, appear to the Timm to destroy almost every hope of the preservation of peace, and indeed of a meeting of the conference at all. Should Prussia consider the convocation of the Holstein estates a legitimate cause of war, her first effort would no doubt be to seize the southern duchy, and Um to gain actual possession of the whole country in dispute. The Austrian corps, if at tacked, will probably retire from the duchy into neutral territory, after such a resistance as will satisfy its military honour. But should Prussia inflict on her enemy this great humiliation, it will not be with impunity. Austria has in Bohemia one of the finest armies ever assembled, and is evidently not indisposed to employ it. Should Austria really prove, the Times adds, to have destroyed the last hopes of peace by resisting all negotia tion with respect to its Italian territory, a heavy respon sibility will rest on her Emperor, who will be deprived of the hearty co-operation of the froilat and mast powerful European communities. Should the empire hereafter be exposed to the attacks of other enemies than are now gathered against it, the world will think its calamities have not been undeserved. The Post regards the attitude of the Italians at this moment se heroic. The prospects of their country would be gloomy enough were it not that a nation possessing such elements of greatness can never cease to inspire faith in her destiny. The congress will bring her into direct rela tions with two sincere advisers to whose counsels she would be wise to listen. _ _ -- - The Star condemns in toto the proposition to indemnify Austria for the loam of Venetia bygivincher part of Bosnia and the Herzegovina, and in general terms denounces the arbitrary transfer of peoples without asking their consent as false in policy and indefensible on grounds of moral right. THE REFORM BILL AND THE Mr. Lowe's speech is highly lauded in two of the leading articles in the Times for its resolute tone, cogent argument, and splendour of illustration. The reluctance, nay, the determinate refusal of the House of Commons to accept the scheme, appears to the Tiara to be manifest ; and it hopes that the rumour is true that the government will with draw their bills if they obtain • majority on Captain Hayter'smation. Mr. Gladstone hasdeclaredthatthe session shall not be lost, and it will not be last if we recognise the truth that it is impossible for any government to pass a Reform Bill without the aasistance of the opposition, and impossible to find any opposition so full of self sacrifice as to assist a government in passing it. We must have recourse to some new method of action. Withdraw the question in the first instance from parliament ; let the nation seek the assistance of such a dispaaaionate tribunal as • well-chosen commission would supply, and in the report and recommendations made, after mature con sideration of electoral qualifications, redistribution, modes of voting, the prevention of bribery, and, in short, of all the branches of reform, we may find the solution of this irrepressible question. If the conduct of her Majesty's ministers hes not been altogether prudent, their fault, the Daily News says, is not in having acted in the spirit of faction, but in thinking too much of their opponents and in believing the protes tations of the conservatives that they would give • mode rate measure fair consideration, and thus through a gene rous confidence and simplicity putting the materials of obstruction into the hands of implacable enemies. One consolation remains. The experiment of compromise having been tried and having failed, will not, we trust, be repeated. A liberal ministry will not be likely to fall again into the errors of excessive moderation. The morality of the party tactics may be judged from the speech of Sir H. Cairns last night, who attempted to terrify the House with the results of passing the amalgamation bills, although he was one of the strongest advocates of the association of the two measures. But whatever the tactical mistakes of ministers, these bills are still worth fighting for ; and an earnest struggle will bring certain victory, either now or later. There is ground of hope in either issue. The Post finds a chief cause for the unpopularity of the bills to lie in the tone of defiance assumed by Mr. Glad stone. This demeanour leads our contemporary once more to conjure up the figure of " that great minister " whom Mr. Gladstone succeeded. It seems but yesterday, says the Post with its usual pathos, we saw that kind and genial countenance, and listened to those plain and simple words of political wisdom more powerful than any efforts of eloquence. We smiled at the wit which loved "to play, not wound ;" and we cheered the generous sentiment, and sympathised with each cordial and frank appeal. Quanta inutatus / there is now nothing of the kind. The gentle voice is heard no more, &c. If in the division of Monday the government have not a majority sufficient to settle the question, or if in committee the obstructions touch any vital point of the bill, then the Telegraph insists no compromise of any kind must be ad mitted. The present parliament will be convicted of mis representing England ; it will be shown that the tory journals were right when they told us that its majority was not a liberal majority, but • Cambridge House majority ; and it will remain for the cabinet to step aside and let the flouted and insulted Lancashire spinners and the patient artisans of England arrange a " mature" reform with such " equitable" reform as Mr. Disraeli and Sir John Pekington. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The Saturday Review describes the position of the ministry as becoming more and more undignified, and the respect of the nation for the house as being silently sapped and undermined. It is an unlucky accident that at a critical time like the present the Premier should be in the House of Lords, and the present leader of the Commons has made the difficulties the greater by his policy—by in troducing half a reform bill, and by his violent and 'irritating management. No one has been so dan gerous to him as Ur. Bright, whose threats the house has learned to despise. The supporters of the ministry, too, are greatly to blame. The division of Mon day night is one of which the liberal party ought to be thoroughly ashamed, as no one, of course, can really have thought it possible that clauses should be introduced into the bill to step bribery. In • lees degree the same remark applies to Mr. Clay's proposal for an educational fran chise. When the discussion of these points is seized on by the opposition avowedly as an engine of tormenting the government, liberal members ought to forbear pressing their views if they wish their party to carry a serious and practical measure. Nor can anything be well more offen sive to a ministry than such • motion as Captain Hayter has thought fit to draw up for the benefit and delight of the opposition. Such objections as he had to raise might well have been made in committee, but then he would have lost the pleasure of being a young liberal fighting against his party. The conserva tives are rendering it impossible for the ministry to remain in office. Are they prepared to moored them! The chief Adullamite liberals decline to serve with them, and whe ther they could hope to hold office honourably and profit • Sly with a minority in the Commons, and with the reform question hanging over them, is exceedingly doubtful. We should have thought they would have done much more wisely to help the Reform Bill forward, and to use their great influence to improve it am far as possible. What the Saturday Renew would like most to me would be • discussion of the main features of the bill carried on without asperity on the part of the opposition or hostility or the part of inde pendent liberals. And when the sense of the house had I thus been gathered, that the bill should for the present stand over, and that a complete and uniform measure should be brought before parliament immediately on the opening of the next session. If all parties would be moderate, this might be easily done without any humiliation to the government ; but we fear that parties will not be moderate, and that the folly of Liberals and the imprudence of conservative* will bring about • serious political crisis. The Examiner abjures the assumption of any right on our part in the conference to overbear the independent will of • helpless province which may not choose to be dis posed of in an arbitrary manner. This is Castlereaghism ; and out of the evil ways of that dreary and soul-deadening superstition it is time that we should once and for ever show mu selves escaped. In 1853 we rejected with lofty airs of virtue the tempting invitation of Czar Nicholas to partition the dominions of the Sultan, not because the allotment would have given to us , • „e-e- EtittniV, JUNE 2, AO. illisdequate sere ot --- the spoil, but 1110...- 010 honour of the odintry revolted at the magnitude of grime proposed. haeoesnos or criminality maid* Iblowever, depend am steadied measurement. The we ep or head of human cattle up on a g iven territory is not a question open to discussion by England or by her re presentatives. To go to war to prevent every act of usurpation or violence others may meditete is certainly not our duty : in this seise we are not our brother's keeper. But neither are we free to help to overbear the reluctance or remonstrance of a defenceless community which has not been consulted as to its fate , and which the se lfishness of rival empires may conspire treader. The Economist instances, as a proof of the improved state of the money market and of public feeling, that the extraordinary failure of the Consolidated Bank did co t p ro duce very much excitement in the City. No pro oeeding could have been more calculated to affright the public and restore the condition of panic from which we bad barely escaped, than the arbitrary conduct of a minority of directors—the legality of whose course is quite open to doubt—in destroying their business without con sultation with their camped, because the bank had entered into arrangements the validity of which was open to dispute, to pay off certain creditors of the Bank of London, and their right to give any preference to one class of creditors rather than another was actually—es from the first it was quite rare to have been—disputed. As confidence returns the high rate of interest will re assert its force on the minds of lenders, who will again send their money where it can be most profitably em ployed. That the note reserve at the Bank of England has again decreased need excite no alarm. The failure of the Consolidated Bank was a fresh reason for all country bankers to keep their positions as safe as possible, and while they retain the large reserves they do in their tills, it is obvious enough that the notes cannot come back to the Bank of England. Whenever the country bankers are reassured, we shall see the note reserve in the Bank of England returning to its usual proportions. The Spectator says that the tones expect the support of many of the thirty Adullamites, and of almost all the members of the disfranchised boroughs, on the division on Capt. Hayter's motion. Many liberals, moreover, who dare not star away when the question is one of reducing the franchise, can avoid a vote on the subject of grouping, while that part of the scheme attracts no Union. It is considered even possible that an alliance will be struck up between the tories and the more conservative whip, that Captain Hayter's motion will be carried, and that govern ment will then resign without a dissolution, which in the present state of opinion might be disastrous to the party. The only chance for the bill is the adhesion of that section the Adullamitee which honestly wished for a complete measure, and having got one will vote for it, and that is a very slender one. In another article the Spectator ex presses the belief that the bill will be lost, and that the government have determined to resign. LATES' FENCE. FORWARD MOVIW . OF TEE ITALIAN The Italian army seems to be still advancing. Four days ago it rested on the Ogilo, but it has crossed that river, as also the river MeDs, and is now cm echelon on the Chios& Cialdini with the 4th army corps in Bologna, is in front of that part of Venetia which is outside of and to the right of the Quadrilateral. The 3rd corps, under Della Rocca, is extended midway between Bologna and Piacenza, which is the headqnarters of the army. Cucchieri's corps is in its former position, and the lit Corps, under Giovanni Durando, is extended from Lodi to Brescia. General Cevale, with his division, occupies the latter. Le 10, Lenarto, Menechiaro, and Bergamo are occupied by brigades. The divisions of the Neapolitan Gene ral Pianelli and the Garibaldian General Sirtori, are distributed in the centre at Creme, Soregina, Orzinova, and Sodeino. A division is also posted at Pizzighettone, Casale, Pusterlenzo, Codogno, St. Angelo, and Broghetto, so as to form a junction between Lodi and Pizzighettone. Thus the advanced guard of the army is facing the Quadrilateral between Verona and Man tua, while the rear guard for the present rests on the Adda and the Po. By this arrangement the post of honour and of danger seems to be reserved for the Ist corps under Durando, an old and tried soldier who fought with great skill and bravery in the two previous Italian campaigns, and defended Vicenza against Itadetzki with great obstinacy though with a greatly inferior force. The following items of news appear in the Italian journals : The Milan journals relate that a great number of volun teers, coming from Novara, arrived at Milan last week. After having traversed the city with the national flag, they halted in the Piazza of the Scala Theatre, giving uttenince to vivats and acclamations for the King and Garibaldi, and singing patriotic songs. But as the shouting was pro longed beyond measure, a public functionary invited the crowd to disperse, as any further demonstration was use• Ism. The young men then gave a striking example of re spect for the law by at once dispersing, after having de• posited their Rag at the Quentin, where they will resume it when they take their departure. Two Austrian spies, who gave themselves out as Hun garians, have been discovered in the 6th Regiment of Italian Volunteers under the command of Nizotera. They have been placed in confinement to await a decision from the superior authorities. The Archduke Albert, coming from Verona by way of Padua, reviewed a few days back at Rovigo a corps d'art's& of 36,000 men. He left the same day, taking General Bendier and the Imperial delegate of the province to dine with him at Verona. THE CONGRESS. The Neue Freie Frew of Vienna says : According to our information the position of Austria at the conference will be this:—A categorical re furl of any proposition for the cession of Venetia; the solution of the Schleswig-Holstein question by the Assembly of the Estates ; a refusal to recognise in the conference any competence on the question of federal reform. We are assured from an authentic source that Austria will not remain isolated in maintaining this point of view. Some days ago we were able to say that the relations between St. Peters. burgh and Vienna had become improved. We sr assured (and the presence of the Queen of the Belgians in Vienna has had something to ao with this arrange ment) that a positive agreement has been made between Russia and Austria touching the negotiations at the conference. The turn which affairs have taken on the Lower Danube teems to have materially contributed to the reconciliation which we have indicated. It is reported from Paris that the Emperor will open the conference in person, and will make a speech in the interlude of pesos. (ssurrs's mitosis's.) AUSTRIA AND THE CONFERENCE. VIENNA, Jars 2. A semi•ofcial article says :—" Great importance is attached to the obstacles which exist in the way of a settlement of the questions to be discussed by the conference.

DEATH OF THE EARL OP CHESTERFIELD.—We hots to announce the death of the Earl of Chesterfield, which occurred shortly after 10 o'clock last night at his residence in Grosvenor-street. The deceased Earl, from hie long connexion with the turf, and expensive studs, was well-known in the sporting world. He carried off some of the greatest prises known in racing annals, and was one of the chief supporters of the turf. The deceased, George Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, county Derby, and Baron Stanhope, of Shelford, county Notts in the peerage of England, was the only son of Philip,, fifth earl, by his second marriage with Lady Henrietta Throne, a daughter of the first Marquis of Bath. He was born 73rd May, 1805, and consequently was in his Glad year. He married in November, 1830, Hon. Anne Elizabeth Forester, eldest daughter of Cecil Weld, first Lord Forester, by whom he leaves a son and daughter, namely Lord Stanhope, M.P. for South Nottinghamshire, . - formerly in the Regiment of Horse-guards, and lady Evelyn, married to the Earl of Carnarvon.

On the occasion of the baptism of Prince Frederick Charles' eon, then five weeks old, the Kreiaz Zeitung published an article relating the part which each personage took in the solemnity. In reply the Bowie Gazette spoke more especially of "the conduct of baby," demanding if it had been equal to the occasion so ably desenledby the other journal. The Gazette was in consequence seized ; the tribunal admitted the plea of the Public Minister against the liberal newspaper for " an insult committed against a member of the royal family." The defendant demanded that doctors should be summoned to attend and decide if an infant of five weeks old, although a Prince, could be considered as a personage, and as having pursued any • conduct." The tribunal finally pronounced an acquittal, though blaming the defendant for his disregard of pro. A letter from Schaffhausen mentions that M.
