AUGUST 13. Tin Pemlafeset Committee hem fairly eclipsed all its comptltoes in the race et judicial incompe tency. It was appointed to inquire into a series of transactions that had no value or meaning foe the House of Commons save in so far as they involved a breach of its privileges or an imputation on its honour ; and the sagacious Committee, after some' inquiry and a good deal of debate amongst them selves, have reported nothing on either of the punts referred to them ; but instead thereof, a rasa lutice which, for absurdity, inanity, and want of moral pluck, transcends everything of the kind it has been our unhappiness to peruse. That Mr. CHILDERS wee doped when he agreed to forego his legal nghts and to rely upon a vague and undaned reference to arbitration—(the arbitrator being the simple-minded Earl of Makcit)—every body knows. But he might have been duped by kis own credulity, no blame attaching to Misers. BAXTER, BOAZ, and NORTON, Or to their hassarable and learned client; and if so, the Com mittee ought to have had the manliness to say 110. No law or system of law can undertake to protect fools against the effects of their own folly and if Mr. CHILDERS, having a good cars to prove of bribery anti treating spinet his antagonie at the teat election, weakly and wantonly abandoned his vantage ground, and slunk away from public investigatioo, hoping to receive eubstantial consolation—then it wee the bounden duty of Mr. WALPOLE and his sax colleagues to report the fact u they found it. He would hive been entitled to no redress, and they ought to have told him so plainly. They have done nothing, however, of the kind. On the contrary, their verdict, if it have any coherence in it at all, implies that the pett tiocer is a much injured man, or at least that he would be so if he were not to be allowed to proceed with his case against Mr. Ovelexr, which, by the law as it stands, they well know he cannot be. And if, on the other hand, the Committee had found that Mr. CHILDEIti had been jockeyed out of his right of adios, and out of his seat, they were, as honest men, called upon to brand the delinquents who had abused their professions) position to tamper thus with the constitution of the House. But we seed hardly say nothing of this kind appears in their report. They neither denounce the framers of the illusory arrangement into whose meshes the unwary and ill-advised Mr. CHILDERS fell, nor do they venture to clear the parties in yes two from inculpation. As the facts were stated by Mr. () r in the Hare of Commons so they leave them Mr. Cunene sear meant to sell his claim to the seat, and serer got anything for his legal waiver of it. This they emirs, sad solemnly declare that they hope he may get it— well knowing that his claim is lapsed and gone. They fancy, se it would seem, that they can ' eLirk the oily duty they had to perform. by Warmth' the Hems that they are of opisios the parties to this agreseseut did not mean the same thing; sad that thenfare the best way et ding justice to both. would be to replace them in the psi-' lien they relatively stood in towards each other before it was thought of. They might with just es mush sense and utility have voted that the fourteen sheep killed by lightning in Hyde-Perk some few weeks ago, being favourite sheep of their owners, ought to he restored to lite forthwith and re-placed nester the trees beneath whose shads they died. The statute, as Mr. W strati sad his fellow-committeemen well know, proseribes a certain number of days within which election petitions may be pre- Naiad, and diaablea any one from prosecuting any claim to • mat after the expiration of that time. It is net in the power of the House of Comatose, ►ad it the will, to alter the law is this matter exposited*. It does not, therefore, signify • rash w►at a Committee may stultify itaelf by reporting eight to be dorm. The only meaning which the public will attach to such a report will be that of a manifest ss•sios of the disagresab:e duty which they ought to have' ruefully pertained. If Mr. Cimino ought to be put hack in hie original pimitios before his petition was withdeswa, be ie an injured Ma, and even to hare redeem. The only rodeos he am have sew would Is that which kis @Maligning Right be morally compalled to Wiwi his. by being tall that he wee bound is hewer to take the Chiltern Hundreds, mad go to • new triodes. Bet this the Cossittas do not say. They leave Mr. 0112 IND to do aa to his, or rather to Mews. BAXTER, Bout, and NosToX (for the sharp practice wee alter all an affair of agents, not of the principals), may mem meet. And tt.o a parliamentary jostles as regards elections. I r will be seen that the Select Committee on l'acket and Telegraphic Contracts, upon whose labours the supporters of the late Government and independent Liberals of the ROTISCCE e School were looking with a dubious complacency, have been engaged, daring the abort time which has elapsed since they were appointed, in an inquiry Into the relations which were supposed to exist between the postal packet service at Dover and the electoral transactions in that spirited borough. The contract with Messrs. JINXING'S aid CIIIXCIIWARD for convey log the mails to Calais and Ostend mem to have undergone a series of abrupt and fitful sub. stl t utions and extensions, some of which in the opicioo of the Committee were not made with due ears and consideration for the public interest. Thus the original cootrect, dated the let of April, 1864, to continee until October I, 1868, wee supplanted by an agreement dated " on or about" Jane 30, 1856, farseeing the term from October I, 1838, to June 20, 1863 ; and this extension was agreed to by the Admiralty without previous ormsultation with the '• Treasury or the Peet Offer." Again, on April 2 :a this present year, " on agreement was •• mitered into, again sabstituung soother " cootraer, further extending the term until April 2C, 1870." And this extension agaia " appears to hare bees 1111111.011114 by the bereary, " on the reermaseadatiea et the Admiralty, bet is _ _ " opposition to the views of the POISIIIASTIR " Claersat." It might occur to the profane world, who are uninitiated into the mysteries of lamina nation, that the department which finds the messy, the department which posts the letters, and the department which provides the boats, should have an equal share in the responsibility of signing, substituting, and extending contrasts, It is amusing, but not edifying, to find at one time the Admiralty getting to windward of the Treasury sad taking the wind oat of the mils of the Post ai= ; at another, the Admiralty and the Treasury nembiniag to lift their anchors while the POST xsistra-Os3gza-st is asleep. With regard to Mr. Ciwamswsan and his alleged operations at the Dever election, it comes out that "at the " time when the extension of his contract was under omendoration" he " volunteered his support," as an influential elector for Dover, to the Hon. Captain Cairmota„ then one of the Lords of the Admiralty, • on the expectation that hie contract was to be ex "traded." Bat, es it also Webs Ont that the renewal of the contract had been recommended by the Ad miralty six weeks before this handsome offer wee volunteered by Mr. CHCILCRWARD, • the • Ames with whom the decision of the • question rated " are acquitted by the Committee of having been "influenced in grant. • log the renewal of the contract by any corrupt on • political motive." Yet the Committee deem it due to the honour and dignity of the House of Com mas to recommend that the agreement to extend Mr. CaracnwAnn's contract from June 20, 1863, to Ageil 26, 1870, be cancelled. The Committee, we sham draw a line between the contractor who la= to exert his influence at elections on the expec table of a renewal of his contract, and the officers with whom the " decision of the closable of re newal rests. Probably a comparison of dabs will afford some insight into the rationale of these appa rently capricious " extensions." No one of worm suspects Departments which do not appear to act together in the matter of any " corrupt or political motive," in accommodating Mr. CHUEMIWAID; yet, without any disposition to come to the resew* of that gentleman, who we believe Is an avowed and conscientious Tory, we may be allowed to accord him the merit of having been uni formly ready and consistently willing, "as ea "influential elector " for Dover, to volunteer his support to the repeseentativee of the government for the time being, whether Whig or Tory. The liberal member for Galway avowed himself a sup porter of any government that would subsidise the Galway line of packets, and Mr. CHURCHWAaLI appears to have been always anxious to secure the election of a Lord of the Admiralty, especially when the extension of a oontract happened to be under consideration. This may not be very stoical in principle, but it has the merit of being not unusual in practice. Dover was Mr. CH L'aCileCAßD'e oyster, and wh an election was coming on, or a con tract was to be extended, he took out his knife as an influential elector, and opened it. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE RUSSIAN AND INDIAN LOANS. Late list evening—after the close of the Stock Exchange—the prospectuses of the Russian and Indian Loans were issued. The conditions of the Au den Three per Cent. Loan of 12,000,0001. accord exactly with those given in the Itrpress of the oth inst., save as regards the exception then made, etiscerning the dates for payment of the instalments The price fixed is 48 per cent., but as the final in stalment dose not fall due until the 26th January nut, whilst a whole half-year's dividend will be re ceivable on the Ist of November, the pries to the subscriber is reduced to about 66j per sent., independent of the allowance of 3 per *sat discount on payments in advance. A Rus sian Three per Cent. stock at 661 is undoubtedly cheep, in relation to the French or English Three per Cents., especially consifiering the advantage pre. mated through the operation of the large and con stantly accumulating sinking fund of 11 per cent, per annum. As this lg per cent. is calculated upon the manes, amount of the loan, it follows that a mini of 180,0001 will be invested annually. With the Four and-a-Half per Cent. Russian stock, now at par, the operation of the sinking fund acts as a cheek whereas with the New Three per Cent. stock it will net se • strong stimnbas to the price. The prelimi nary deposit is fixed at 3 per cent., and the total ; deposit, due the 30th inst., at 13 per sent The eh'. earnetenee that bonds will be given for every pay meat after the first will facilitate the transfer of the loan into strong hands. The payments are spread over a total period of five months, but It is impossible to say what portion of the 8,000,0001. forming the cash proceeds of the loan will be drawn from England, since all previous Russian limns have been largely sheathed on the Continent, where a score of subscription list are now being organised for the present oat From St. Petersburg, Hamburg, Frankfort, Amsterdam, and Paris, numerous applications are expected. The list will be kept open until Saturday, the 20th, in order to allow time to the foreign subscribers. The lows is announced through Messrs. Thomson, Boner, and Co., of London and St. Petersburg—one of the oldest memantile firms in Europe. The manifsstatioes repeatedly given by the present government of Rumple of its desire for peace and commercial progress will go far to promote the success of the pending gigot iation. For the terms of the Indian Loan we re ' far our readers to the official statement in ear advertising columns. The thriftless and embarrassing system of issuing debentures' is apparently abandoned the new 5,000,0001. loan is to be raised in a 3 per cent. stock, the dividends on which will be payable at the Bank of England, wham aka the transfers will be made, free of stamp duty. It will be noticed with semis regret that the price, instead of being fixed by the government, is left to be settled by each indi vidunl tendering. For the guidance of these par ; ties, it may be mentioned that an advantage of tally If per cent. is estimated to be involved in the payment of a clear half-year's dividendof 21 per cent. on the 6th Jan. next, the final instalment on the loan being fixed for the 22nd Nov., coupled with the allowance of 3 per cent discount on payments in advance. The preliminary deposit le limited to 2 per cent., and the whole five millions is to be liqui dated in four months, being at the rate of 1,250,0001. per month. For each instalment after the first, a proportional amount of stock will be created, so that a subscriber may easily realise a portion of his holding. The stock will be redeemable from the 6th July, 1870, upon twelve months' notice from the government. Tenders are to be sent in by the 23rd, being two business days after the closing of the Russian Loan list. The Stock Exchange name men tioned in the prospectus is that of Mr. Henry Soon.

Our ministerial crisis still continues, A special commission, appointed by the Emperor, for working out the new constitution, sits daily. Count Rechberg, minister for foreign affairs; CountLsoThun, minister of public instruction; Count Clam-Martinitr, chef of the government of Cracevie ; Count Wolkenstein, im perial councillor; and Baron Hubner (formerly am bassador at Paris), take part in the sittings of the commission. An employe in the ministry of foreign affairs acts as secretary. It is fully confirmed that Baron Bach hes tendered his resignation because the reforms he proposed were rejected by the Emperor. But it is certain there is no material difference between the pro gramme of Baron Bach and that of M. roe Bohmer ling, whose advise has since been asked. It is re ported that the commission for the working out of the constitution is equally opposed to the views of Baron Bach and M. von Schmerling, and that the new constitution of Austria will be founded on aristo cratical and clerical power. VIENNA, FRIDAY, Arousr 12. The Aftsstrinn Correspondence publiShes an article respecting certain letters from Berlin correspondents of German papers, which bad announced that a confidential declaration, in reference to certain pas sages in the Imperial manifesto, was made by Aus tria to Prussia. The Austrian Correiponderece, although wishing that the best understanding should exist between the great German Powers, declares nevertheless the above statement to be unfounded. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom oos. twx PARIS, FRIDAY EVINTNO, It is quite plain that the Zurich conference has come to a dead lock. The presumption and folly of the so-called arrangement pompously announced from Villafraoca will loon be patent and confessed to all the world. Official people now affect to be quite surprised at the difficulties which broke up the meeting' ere it had well got together, and sent off the second Austrian plenipotentiary, M. de Meysen berg, to Vienna for farther instructions. There must probably, they say, be a hitch about the Italian con federation which meets with opposition both at Rome and Turin, and also about the restoration of the dukes ; perhaps, it is said, moreover, the exact proportion of the Austrian national debt which is to be saddled upon Lombardy cannot be easily agreed upon. Why, of course thaw difficulties start up, end everybody except the Em peror Napoleon's flatterers saw them from the first, Amex* who to a great extent has the cards in her own hands, sines the Emperor cannot very well re commence the war against her, is obstinate and inso lent. She will make the most of a peace concluded hastily and from unavoidable motives, in a spirit of hostility to all the principles in support of which the war was professedly undertaken. The Vienna Ga sett*, so far from endorsing the opinion that the ree -1 tendon of the Grand Dukes was only to be tolerated, or perhaps " favoured " by the French Emperor, nails him to a positive engagement in that behalf. That restoration was, it says, " sanctioned by the signature of the two sovereigns, its execution is guaranteed by their plighted word, and the power of the two monarchs is the sufficient assurance that the promise will be performed." The P Vienna infers from this that the " French and Aus trian armies will if necessary restore the dukes and organise the Italian oonfederation by force." There are symptoms that the French Emperor is annoyed at the present conduct of the court of Vienna. The articles which have lately appeared here in praise of Kossuth and Garibaldi are attributed to this feeling, and I notice as a very significant fact that the grand military spectacle of the Poste St. Martin, called the Vole docile, ou lea Etafes de fa Gwent, which was suspended by authority after the peace of Villatranca out of complaisance to Austria, is this evening resumed by express orders from the Emperor. The independence Beige thus comments upon the political situation: Or 'of our Paris correspondenta writes that nothing is yet decided se to the text or even the spirit of the speech which the Emperor will pronounce on the 14th. It la greatly to bothered that It will be so worded se to leave no doubt whatever about the pacific Intentions of the Preach government. Public opinion Is all the mere eager to her rearming word from the Emperor because the Paris journals which habitually assume to be governmental orgies speak es if their express object was to sow distrust at home sad provoke slarm abroad. While the PatrW and Com t tottiontwl open their columns to pompons eulogies of Kossuth, and espouse the cause of Hungarian nationality with an ardour altogether inexplicable, the Pays, by the pen of Id. Granter ds Cassagnac, exalts the valour of the French army, and declares that no army in the world can stand against It. It Is impossible to deny that the rocatent cboeen for declamations of this sort is roesdiegly ill-timed. They would be only puerile In their extravagance if they were insciesd simply by national *elf ; but they are open to an interpretation menacing to the peace of Europe, and are therefore dangerous.

LOMBARDY. (MON 09111 OWN ODZILIPONENNT4 MILAN, Avocet 9. This city hu for the last three days been keeping high holiday in honour of the solemn entry of Victor Emmanuel as King of Lombardy. He left Turin the day before yesterday, at three in the after noon, having in his suite a great part of the parlia ment, who bad received his gracious invitation to at tend. Along the whole line be was greeted with shouts by the people. The national guards of the various rural communes made a goodly display with their new uniforms, which are of the cheapest and simplest kind, such as each peasant had been able to purchase at his own oat. By half-past six the King reached the barrier of the Eastern gate, where a magnificent pavilion had been erected. Here he was welcomed by tke authorities, and the mayor of Milan, Count Belgiojoso, read an address, which was greatly applauded. The King replied in a few touching words, a ft er which he mounted his horse, and the whole of his train mounted theirs, except the senators and deputies, who rode in court carriages. The Corso of Porta Run, otherwise called the Eastern Oate, is one of the most beautiful streets that any city of Europe can boast of. Conceive it filled with an immense throng, and all the balconies radiant with that beauty for which the Lombard women are famed ; to complete the picture, imagine an infinite number of banners and flags, so dense that they seemed to form a tented arcade. Along this enchanting scene rode the King, between two rows of the National Guard in their rich uniforms and perfect military bearing • whilst a perfect rain of flowery, never ceasing ler one instant, and rapturous cries of " Long live the King ! " "Long live Italy!" poured down upon him amid the peals of the church bells. When the Kiog and the royal cortege reached the famous cathedral—that mountain of sculptured marble, as Michael Angelo called it— they were welcomed under another pavilion by the clergy. Having entered the church, and listened to the Ambrosian hymn, the King, with his suite, had not much further to go, for the royal pa lace is in the same square as the minder. Both on entering and leaving the cathedral the applause of the vast multitude was tremendous. That very morning, just as the ornamenting of the pavilion before the chief gate of the cathedral was completed, the same multitude had commenced a riot, accusing the =algid authorities of having hoisted the same flags and that they had used when greeting the Archduke imilian. They had spied out some yellow and black striping, which you know forms the Austrian cockade. Some Zouaves, having been told what the row was about, joined the mal contents, and in a very short time the pavilion was torn to shreds. Another canopy of some kind or other had to be extemporised, and so, to suit the humour of the people, it was composed of the tri coloured national flags alone. In the evening, the King was expected at the theatre Della Scala, which was splendidly illuminated in expectation of his pre sence, but his Majesty did not go. Yesterday be received all the constituted bodies of the state, and many deputations from the city and country. Among the guests at the banquet was the celebrated post, Alessandro Manson. It le said, the King, in plain clothes and perfect inoogn'to, paid him a visit previously, at his own dwelling. I hops this rumour will turn out to be a tam, and that virtue with genies combined has received this mark of rever;nos from one of the best monarchs that adorn this age. The city of Milan honoured yesterday the members of parliament with a solemn *gnat, and declared thereby that it interpreted norrsLy the invitation given by the Xing that they should ae company him to Milan, in order to show the Lom bards that wherever Victor Emmanuel bends his steps he is attended by his constant and inseparable companion—Liberty. During the banquet the first orators of the Chamber spoke the most patriotic words, for the object of exhorting Italians not to lose heart, but persevere in the laborious path that leads to rational emancipation. To Signor Prinetti, the deenrion of the city, replied General Guaglia, the president by right of age, and the deputy Mamiani. The most vehement speech was delivered as usual by deputy Brofferio. Last night there was a general illumination, wonderfully got up. The King traversed the city about 9 o'clock, and one continued ovation marked his progress. He sets out to-day for Bfeseilt. Bergamo, and the other principal places of Lombardy. h Milan there are still two divisions of the French army. Talking of them, permit me to relate to you an anecdote of much importance, the accuracy of which lam able to guarantee to you. When the news of the peace of Villafranca reached this place, the consternation was profound and universal. This feeling wan soon changed into one of fury, and the aspect of the entire city became highly menacing. The colonel of the Piedmontese carabineere, Amal fi , made it known to the commandant of the French garrison, who answered in a dry and cold manner, that having under his orders 20,000 French bayonets he laughed at all the ill-humour of the Milanese. A few hours later the same commandant called upon Colonel Arnulfi, and with some anxiety begged him to state what the temper of the people was then, and to keep him informed of it. It was not difficult to detect the reason of the French commandant's sud den anxiety ; he bad been communicating with his principal officer., who had assured him that they could not rely with fall security on their men, as these shared more than was to be wished the sentiments of the Milanese. There the matter ended ; and the people were calmed by some influential citizens, who pointed out how fatal and nudes any tumult would be. THE TWO SICILIES. (MOM 001 OWN 001118PONDINT.) NAPLES, droner 6. I have noted every public act sines the beginning of this reign, and, with every disposition to wait until things should settle down into something like order, and make allowances for the inexperience of a you thful sovereign, I am compelled now to say that the state of things hers is most hopeless. Nothing will emanate from this government calculated to satisfy the people. We have had an amnesty which served only to awaken public indignation—an act destroying the lists of suspects, which was under. mined and nullified by a circular, which I sent you, addressed to the intendents, and by them to the provincial functionaries ; it bore the date of 24th June, and says, " it is necessary to exercise o illanne at all times over dangerous I men, whether they have or have not been on the lists of the attendibili." and General Filangieri him self admitted that 100,000 families would be &if's:lied by that act. Then again we hare had *nests and exiles ; and the British government has been grossly insulted, by having had its special intercession in favour of men imprisoned illegally for three years responded to as it was last week—thirty person', some of whom were men of fortune and education, having been manacled and fastened to a long rope, and sent off to" relegation" in the Isle of Capri, where they present themselves, according to order, i twine a day to an inspector of polies. The famous circulars of Filangieri, too, mast bo noted, which, whilst proposing changes im possible of realisation, admit the existence of the worst abuses which have been charged even spinet this government. The Neapolitans sok if these are the salutary reforms which Louis Napoleon hinted at as likely to be introduced. The fact is—and in sober seriousness I assert it—the posi tion is worse than it was, for the Sovereign, instead of being ,like Ferdinand 11., a man of firmness of cha racter, le the slave of his Camarillo. His intentions may be excellent at any fixed hour to-day, but God knows what they may be two hours after. Thus his Prime Minister is engaged in a constant strug gle with some unseen and secret power. At times he makes an impression on the royal mind, and retires full of hops ; but the old advisers flrek around the King, and everything is reversed. These are facts, and until that neat of ill-omened birds be cleared out, neither will Filangieri succeed in eliciting or working out reforms, nor will any forsisn minister succeed in exercising any permanent in- Ammo over the sovereign will. It is difficult to doubt promises and declarations made by the highest personages in the realm, but events have long slice proved that such promises and declarations were illusory, and amongst other proofs it would be easy to send you the names of any number of persons, who find themselves under as strict a surveillance as ever. If the peat, therefore, does not support th e statement of the government, but just the oontrary, what dies the present say ? I could give you the names of persons who have withdrawn from the capital, and are lying hidden from fear of probable arrest. The young Marchese Casannovo has received an order to absent himself from Naples. In Palermo ere now lying in prison, or were last Saturday, some yonog men of the first families, for having taken part in a simple and ienocent demonstration. Moreover, strong and active efforts are being made to ac quire a complete control over the public mind, and to procure an apparently free expres sion of opinion against the two great points which will shortly have to be agitated; that is to say, the Confederation and a Conatitutios. I am assured—and I have every confidenoe in the assuanc•—that circulars have been sent to the In tendants and to the Attorney-Generals of provinces, directing them to usist in getting up petitions to the effect that his Majesty's subjects do not desire them. Some of these have already probably arrived; bat from all parts—from the provinces and from Sicily . — I receive the same intelligence, that great activity prevails in this sense; and here in Naples I have learnt that the ecclesiastical authorities have been busy. It is laughable to hear of an appeal to public opinion in the kingdom of Naples; of course n will be with the government, because it can command and will command it through the interests or the fears of the people. Bo it did in 1848; but it is to be hoped that no British states man will ever cite these petitions u containing the deliberate opinion of the people of the Two Sicilies. NEW POLYTECEUIIO IMITIIVTION. A public meeting with reference to a proposed new Polytechnic Institution wee held at Willies Bums yester day afternoon, for the purpose of considering the ban means to be adopted for promoting the formation of • new company, with a view to continue the advantage* of so valuable a Owe of popular instruction and amusement, which the public have hitherto enjoyed in the old institution now about to becloud. The chair was taken by the Bart of 811ATIMIIIMIT, who Will supported by Viaeonnt Runlets, M.P., Kr. 13einuel Oar nay, M.P., Mr. Robert Menbary, M.P., Mr. Joseph Psyne, ka. It appeared from a proposal reed to the meeting that In easerquenes of the lamentable accident which occurred at the Royal Polytechnic Institution on the 3rd January kat, that nada soda y will shortly be compelled permanently to ciao It. doors to the public, it being now in a state of b runiary embarrassment from which extrication is impossi Wa sale of its property and the winding twirl its affaire7l 4 t Wee considered desirable to found a society under the Limited Liability Act, haying for its object this purchase of the whole of the property of the institution, and of continuing in the theatres of the building exhibitions sod lectures of a popular character, with such extension of ita means of instruction, blended with amusement, as is cou nteract with the high moral purportsa of the original institu tion, and u may be letup:sued by the new management.

In MHO; to dividend's on capital, it is proposed that hoiden of sharee shall be entitled to free admission to ell lectures end exhibitions, in different ProPertione. The noble CHAIRMAN said the business which had called them together wee vary simple, it being merely to declare that the Royal Polytechnic, Institution was defunct, and aught to be resuaoiteted, to carry on its business for the benefit of the public. He would not dictate upon the ayes *ages of the institution, for be believed that they were very well known. He waggerd that the existence of an instant tket of that description wee Indispensable in the present day, when it was so necessary to promote every possible means of educed." and there was a certain form of education which was contemplated in founding that institution. Its existence we., Weed, of very great Importance in the present day, when there was a considerable and increasing appetite foe knowledge among all clams. Under these circumstances, he recommended this institution to them earnestly. He be lieved that it it was mimed on in the spirit in which it was founded, no one would regret the sums of money which be contributed ether in donations or in the taking of shares, for he would be doing his best in giving instructive amuse ment andkappinem to the redeemed masers of the community. Mr. ROBE= BANBURY, M.P., moved, and Mr. /ILSE. ANDES HALDANE seconded, the Brat resolution, which was unanimously carried :—" That It is highly expedient that a public, Institution like the Polytechnic should exist and be maintained in the metropolis." Viscount Rarallea, M.P., moved the second resolution, which was also earned, to the effect that the new Polytechnics would be sufficiently remunerative to warrant undertaking its management. A reerel committee was then appointed i on the motion.[ Mr. 5. GURNIT, M.P., seconded by Mr. C. MAYMEW. It was stated in the course of the promedinge that 429 shares had been taken, realising 4,2901., and that the done none had amounted to 3461., making a total of 4,6361. According to a report made to the minister of public isstructioe, there are now in Turkey 10,897 schools for ➢[asenimans, which ere frequented by 230,646 boys and 121,259 girls, and superintended by 11,226 teachers. There are also 2,249 schools for Christians, receiving 106,361 boys and 7,806 girls, with 2,239 teachers. Acooante from Belgrade state that the death of the senator Vootchich, who had been arrested by order of Prince Ililoach, on a charge of being engaged in a conspiracy against him, has ceased considerable agitation in that city. Straw suspicions of foul play had been raised, and a post eiortem examination of the body was demanded. This was, however, reined by the prison, who had a guard placed round the tomb of the doomed. The Corriere Merematiie states that Garibaldi was electodat Strodella by 168 votes out of 180. RAISING A LOAN AT VENICE.—A correspondent at Venice, describing the elect:material, under which • " loan" ha just been mimed at Venice, strike :—.‘ The sinews el war were required; all the silver UlOllO7 from the ZOOM had been forwarded to Verona. The bakers had been com pelled to furnish bread at Venice, to Insect to Verona, sad paid for by promissory notes. In vain Count Bitsingan shouted, Pay the forced lieu, everyone looked to the French fleet and French promises. Nobody paid; they all fondly thought to escape P. The semiotics dispelled the cheerful illusion; the peace damped the most sanguine expectation. On the 6th of July the fatal circular appeared, and I can scarcely imagine anything more admirably adapted to reconcile en Englishman with his oonsdta tional government than Count Bismogsn's circular. To get money from everybody Is a long process, es the count took a abortee road to riches. The feel areelere announced Pordine supremo de IL X. 1. R. A. it Jona terTiteriale L. V.
