THE WAR IN EUROPE. The Marquis al OLANRICARDR—I wish Ia ••k • . . . . • - - upon a sabjest on which it is novesstery tbst par larnint - and the oountry should be very accurately in /formed, namely, as to the part which the British govern ment may have taken as to any negotiations or propoid liens made to any of the belligerent powars, either for a cer Oaten of hostilities, or as to the preliminaries of the terms of peace. I certainly gathered from the speech of the muses earl on Friday night that government had acted in satire conformity with the announcement of their polic7 mot to interfere in any way to compromise this miantry, and pledge themselves to any proposition whet ever. unless they h ad be lesson to think that any proposition made to the be lligere nts would acceptable to those powers, sad wou ld be likely to establish peace. On read ▪ the speech made by the noble lord the Secretary for • • Affairs I certainly thought that that line of policy bad followed. I did not gather from reading his words that the British government had given any opinion se to what were to be the terms or even the bails upon which a treaty of peace was to be founded. I understood that question was to be left entirely open. Bat it appears that the noble earl near me (Earl Russell), speaking at a Sinner on Saturday night last, at the inauguration of the Cobden Club, expressed his deep regret that the British government shouM be a party to terms which he considered were offensive to Italy. Everybody must be very glad that at this moment there is • emanation of hostilities even for Ave days ; but I think it ought so he clearly understood whether the government have proposed any terms for an armistice or for • peace, and how far we are committed to zoases i l lornion upon the conditions and provisions which be desirable for the establishment of peace. I should be glad also if the noble earl (Earl Russell) would give any ilarastion with respect to the opinion ascribed to him. the Earl of DERBY-I should almost have thought that the noble marquis would have addressed himself in the first instance to the noble earl opposite, because his question is founded upon • speech stated to have been made by that Amble earl on a recent occasion, and as to which I should I. glad to ask the noble lord whether be ham been accu rately reported in the Observer of yesterday. Kiri RUSSELL-Yes, it is a correct representation, and I may as well state in explanation that I did not un derstand that the noble lord at the head of the Foreign meat had assented to any proposed terms, of peace, bas only to the principle of as armistice. The Earl of DERBY-I confess I can hardly reconcile the explanation given by the noble earl witL the words as reported, as in those words the noble earl expresses his regret that the British Secretary of State should have /*YOB his sanction to terms which he knew would be offen sive to the Italian people. I should not have taken any notice of this speech under the circumstances had it not been for the question of the noble marquis. That speech was made, I believe, at a spades of political picnic, established on Saturday last, for, in the first instance, doing honour to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden, and in the next place establishing the Cobden Club; and the names of those present, and more especially the names of those who formed the com *tire, appeared, in conjunction with Mr. Gladstone and the noble earl, to form the most advanced section of liberal politicians. Before that audience the noble earl's health was drunk, and in returning thanks he thought it news. harp to deal with the question on which the noble marquis lad touched. The circumstances are briefly these. Upon the first day that we accepted office, and before we returned from Windsor, the French ambassador called at the Foreign-office and communicated to the Under arm -star, of State the arrangement made between Prance and Austria, and communicated copies of letters addressed to the Kings of Prussia and Italy, communi cating the cession of Venetia to France. That was accom panied by no observations at all, but later in the day he even palled at the Foreign-office, and stated he had re ceived a telegraphic communication requesting us to unite our good offices with those of France to stop the effusion of blood. That telegram was communicated to us imme diately on our return from Windsor, but, in conformity with the determination we had come to not to interfere to state any terms, we simply complied with the application, and instructed our ministers at Berlin and Florence to co-operate to obtain, if pos sible an armistice for the purpose of endeavouring to ascertain whether any terms of peace could be named. I need not say that in dealing with that proposal for an armistice we expressed no opinion whatever upon any political question attached to it. We did not think it con &tent with our duty, having simply received the intelli gence as un fait accompli of the cession of Venice, to make any representation to either France or Austria, nor did we consider it any part of our duty to consider whether the elusion was or was not likely to be agreeable to the Italian people. I can easily imagine that a proposal for the cession of Venetia to France would not be likely to be conciliatory to the people of Italy, and that they might feel considerably hurt at finding they had obtained that which they desired, not by their own arms, but by the anus of Prussia and the diplomacy of France. Bat that was a question upon which we had no right to enter. Oar sole object was to stop the effusion of blood, and if possible to pave the way to peace. It is perfectly well known that our endeavours and those of France failed in their object, and from that period the attempt at mediation has been in the hands of the Emperor of the French. We have taken no part whatever in negotiations; our advice has not been asked, and we have not given any. We have simply stood aloof awaiting for any opportunity which might occur for interposing our good offices if required towards the restoration of peace, but we have had nothing whatever to do with any terms be tween the three belligerents. That is the state in which the ease stands at present. The Emperor of the French has taken upon himself to mediate between the contending parties. Certainly at one time his mediation did not pear to be successful, hut I am happy to say that by the hat telegram, although I do not know whet the terms precisely are, preliminaries of peace have been accepted by Austria and Prussia. I therefore think that we may in dulge the sanguine hope that the horrors of war are over for the present, and that diplomacy may effect, on what ever terms, at all events • pe,aceable if not altogether satisfac tory solution of a question which at one time threatened to involve Europe in • very long and sanguinary war. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL-I am of the same opinion now that I was, namely, that the proposal of an armistice without any preliminaries of peace was not likely to stop the King of Prussia in his career. I understand now that preliminariesof peacehavebeen pro posed-I hope that is so-and that those preliminaries have already been to far accepted as to give hopes of the resto ration of peace. (Hear, hear.) No one can rejoice more than I shall at that event. The Earl of DERBY-The authority upon which ! stated that the preliminaries of peace had been accepted by the governments of Austria and Prussia is a telegram received from Lord Cowley yesterday after communication with the Emperor of the French. With regard to the observa tion of the noble lord, I confess I do not understand it s force, because I do not understand how, if it were coma mendable on the part of the Emperor of the French to offer these propositions, it can be matter of regret that the English Secretary oiState should have endeavoured to give effect to the views of the Emperor. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL-The noble earl will allow me to ex plain somewhat further what I said. The Emperor of the Trench, having made this proposal for an armistice, re ceived, as I understand, an answer from the King of Prussia which, I think, was very natural and fair under the circumstances, the purport of that answer being, " I cannot accept this armistice, which is a scheme to give time to my enemy to recruit his forces and repair his strength ; but if it was coupled with proposals that might serve as preliminaries of peace, then I should be willing to agree to an armistice." Ijust read as I came into the Louse an account of the proceedings of the Emperor Napoleon the First after the battle of Austerlitz, which states that the two princes, the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of the French, met, and after some con versation agreed at once to an armistice and to the pre liminaries of peace ; and the account ends by saying that preliminaries of peace having been agreed to, peace may be concluded in a few days. It is perfectly conceivable that preliminaries of peace having been agreed to, an armistice was likely to be accepted ; but it is sot conceivable that two belligerents, one being victorious over the other, should agree to an armistice merely to give hops of the establishment of peace. The following bills were read a third time and passed :- Sheriff Court-houses (Scotland) Act (1860) Amendment Bill ; New South Wales and Van Diersen's Land Govern ment Bill ; Revising Barristers' Qualification Bill ; Piers and Harbours Confirmation Bill.

(Cries of " Hear, hear.") OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, looking to the conspicuous pod faith and friendly feeling of the government of the United States towards this country in its recent conduct to the Fenian, her Majesty's government was now prepared to submit all claims and matters in dispute between the two powers to an arbitration mutually acceptable. Lord STANLEY—I agree in the opinion which the hon. member has expressed as to the friendly and honourable feeling that has been shown by the government of the United States in regard to this Fenian affair. I speak for my colleagues as well as myself when I say we are anxious to do anything we reasonably can to remove any feeling of irritation or of soreness that may remain in consequence of circumstances connected with the late war. But with re ference to these claims, I sin afmid I cannot give hire so precise and so positive an answer as he may desire. With regard to the moot important of those claims full discussion has taken place between the government of the United States and those who preceded us in office. That discussion terminated six or seven months ago, and during the very short time that I have been in office these claims have not been revived. They involve questions of considerable perplexity and intricacy, and I need not say that I hays bad but • very short time and very little leisure to consider them. In any use it would be prema ture on the part of the government to say immediately what answer we should be prepared to give to claims of that kind until or unless they are preferred. Perhaps I may say, with • view, if possible , to lessen the protability of such diffi culties arising in future, it is the intention of the govern ment to advise her Majesty to issue a ro7al commission to inquire into the working of the neutrality laws, and, if necessary, to revise them. (Cheers.) wail to enable theCommierioners tithe Treasury to advance to certain Irish railway companies, who, in the present state of the money market, could not meet their deben tures, a sum not exceeding 500,00 W., for three months, with power to increase the time to twelve months. SYNAN regretted that the bill applied only to debentures falling due within the period to which it ap 'bed, and not also to collateral securities connected with debentures wbieh might not become due within that time. Sir F. HIREGATE supported the bill, but suggested that there might have been connected with it some provisions which would put an end to the existing mismanagement of Irish railways. Mr. CHILDERS said that the measure wl5 of a merely temporary nature, and sould not therefore deal with the permanent management el railways in Ireland. After an observation from Mr. Hawser, Mr. HUNT explained that the bill was a temporary bill, framed to meet temporary difficulties arising out of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and the de pressed state of trade in Ireland. He believed that ulti mately the securities would be found sufficient. Mr. XADITIRE denied that the political disturbances had anything to do with the depressed state of railway property in Ireland. The railway directors themselves attributed the depression to the emigration of the people. Mr. HENLEY hoped that the step about to be taken would not be drawn into a t. The bill was then read a secon time. INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill paned through osinzaittio. VACCINATION BILL. The order for the committal of this bill was discharged. The house adjourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock. PamaariaLD ELsortox.—An election took place yesterday to All the seat rendered vacant by the elevation of Sir William Tolliffe to the peerage. Mr. William Nicholson, of Basing-park (independent liberal), was pro -1884 b Mr. Boam-Carter, M.P., seconded by Mr. ElMngton, and elected, there being no other candidate. RJ?ORM MEETINGS. —Last night, by perminaion of the mayor, a numerously attended public meeting of the working classes of High Wycombe was held, to take into consideration (as stated in t handbills) the present aspect of the reform question. Various addresses were delivered, and resolutions were adopted expressive of con fidence in Messrs. Gladstone and Bright, and condemna tory of the conduct of those professed liberal members of the House of Commons who advocated parliamentary re form on the hustings, and subsequently combined with the tories, and thus defeated the very moderate measure of reform introduced by the late ministry. A similar meet ing was held on Saturday, at Hartlepool, with the like result. ---- 'ha SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY. Yesterday afternoon a numerous assemblage of ladies, among whom were a few gentlemen, met at Stafford-house, by invita tion of the Duchess of Sutherland, to promote the move ment in favour of the early closing of chops on Saturday afternoon. Amoeget the company present were the Duchess of Manchester, Lady Kildare, the Countess of Duck, the Countess of Shaftesbury, Lady Constance Grosvenor, lady Elcho, Lady Frederick Cavendish, Lady Caroline Stirling, Lady Howard, Lady Charlotte Denison, Lady Manningham Buller, Baroness Weld, J. T. Delano, Esq., Mrs. Thomson Markey, Mrs. and Miss M'Mardo, Mrs. J. Macgregor, Mrs. Charles Gilpin, Mrs. W. G. HumphrT, Mn. James Hamilton, Mrs. Benjamin Shaw, Mute Marsh, Mrs. Peter Cater, Mrs. Thomas !Roney, Mrs. Thomas Chambers, Mrs. M. Matthews, Mrs. Baldw in Brown, Miss Ryle, Mrs. Michael Gibbs, Mn. Bateman, Mrs. S. Scott Alison, Mrs. Erichssn, Mrs. Riadon Bennett, Mrs. Lusk, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mrs. Richard Burgess, Mrs. Leo Schuster, Mrs. D. Biddle, Mrs. William Burdett, Mrs. W. Capper, M. Daniel, M. Wm. Debenham, Miss Jay, Ws. Marshall, Mrs. Nichola, Mrs. F. Swayne Pearce, Mrs. Snelgrove. On the 14th instant an arrangement for closing business establishment, at two o'clock on Saturdays, for the next three months, was entered upon by thirty-four of the leading silk. mercers and linendrapery houses at the West-end, the City, and other parts of London. The immediate result has been the admission of several thousand persons to the benefits of relaxation at the period in question ; and it appears that the example thus set is about to be followed in the jewellers' and various other establishment, at the West-end. The object of the meeting of yesterday was to enlist ladies generally on the aide of the movement, and to induce them to resolve not to impede it by becoming purchasers of goods, directly or Indirectly, after one o'clock on Saturday. The proceedings of the meeting were opened by Earl Grosvenor, who gave a brief history of the movement, and showed its connexion with the Volunteer move ment. The Earl of Shaftesbury moved the first resolution :—" That in order to promote the Saturday half-holiday movement amongst the ladies of the metropolis, the following ladies be requested to act as a committee, with power to add to their number :—The Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess of Ducie, the Coun tess of Shaftesbury, Lady Constance Grosvenor, Lady Riche, Mrs. Thomson Hankey, Mrs. Charles Gilpin, Mrs. W. Gilson Humphry, Mrs. Richard Burgess, Mrs. Ben jamin Shaw, Mrs. Thomas Chambers, Mrs. Dr. Hamilton, and other ladies not present." The noble earl made some remarks from hie personal knowledge on the benefits already received from early closing, and confidently e: - pressed the opinion that the highest domestic, moral, and social results would flow from its extension. After some confirmatory observations from Lord Echo and Dr. Cum ming, the resolution was adopted, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the DI =bees of Sutherland for the use of her residence for the occasion. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLICITOR. —Yeaterday afternoon Dr. Lankester held an inquiry at the board room, Holborn union, on the body of Joseph Burton, de scribed as • solicitor, of Clement's-inn, Strand, and Reading, Berko, who was run over by • cab whilst pur suing • woman who had robbed him of his watch and chain. Mr. John Cooper said deceased was his brother-in law. He was a married man, G 3 years of age. He wished the subject fully investigated, because the friends of de ceased believed he did not get fair treatment at • hospital to which be was taken after being injured. Mary Evans, 32, Gray's.inn-road, said she was in Gray's-inn-road at about five minutes to 1 o'clock on Saturday morning last, and saw deceased running across the road after a woman. He appeared tipsy, and fell down in the road. A cab drove up, and the wheel passed over his chest. The cab man masted deceased, who said he was not hurt ; hut her husband and a policeman took him in • cab to the hospital. The driver and the woman got away, and she had not seen either of them since. Police-constable Brooke, 78 F, said he and a young man took deceased to the Royal Free Hospital in Gray's-inn-road. Deceased had his watch wrenched off, but witness could not say whether any other valuables had been stolen from him or not. The medical man at the Royal Free Hospital galvanised the deosased, as he said he appeared to be suffering from cholera. Witness told him deceased had been run over, and the medical man examined him for about an hour and a half. He gave him an emetic, but it took no effect. At last the medical man (whose name witness did not know) told witness deceased wee drunk, and he must take him to the station-house, and he did so. The deceased was examined at the station house by Dr. Paul, divisional surgeon, and he told witness to take him immediately to the Holborn union infirmary. He also gave him a certificate to the house-surgeon , as follows :—" 26, Burton-crescent,July 21, 1866.—1 here by certify that Joseph Burton is in a dan terstate, and is not suffering from the effects of drink. i: s in an extreme state of collapse, and requires imme diate attention. Jas. T. PAUL, Surgeon, E Division." William Evans said he went with the policeman to the /Loyal Free Hospital, and in his evidence corroborated the policeman in every point. Mr. Morton, M.R.C.S., aid deceased was brought to the infirmary at 3 o'clock on Saturday morning last. He was suffering from • bruise on the right side of the chest, and had also two of his ribs broken. He died at 11 o'clock the same morning from haemorrhage, caused by rupture of the liver. The jury unanimously asked the c o rone r f or an adjournment, in order to get further evidence, which Dr. Lankester at once agreed to, remarking at the same time there wen several points which required clearing up. HEAVY COMPENSATION CASE. —The Solicitor- General, with whom was Mr. Murphy, app eare d y esterday at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, oefore Mr. Garth, as assessor, and • special jury, in a heavy railway compensa tion case, " Forbes and others v. the Midland Railway," which occupied the court to a late hour. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Horace Lloyd represented the company. Scene remark able evidence was given in the case. According to the est ' deuce for the claimants, the property for building purposes near Kilburn, partly in the Edgware-road, was worth up wards of 1,000 7 . per acre. About ten acres were required, and with the damage done by the severance the claim ex ceeded 20,000/. On the other side the surveyors put the value between 8,000/. and 9,000/., with some 1,5001. for any supposed damage by the severance of the estate by the rail way. All the surveyors for the company denied that land was injured by railways running through property. Mr. Vigers said he had purchased considerable property, and sold surplus property, and his opinion wee that the sever ance of property by railways was not injurious to land. It appeared that the property in question was near the land of Sir Thomas Marron Wilson, and Mr. Clark (Farebrother, Clark, and Co.), who was examined for the claimant, stated that Sir Themas Wilson only lost his bill by seven votes, and expected to obtain it on the next occasion, and then large plots of land would be laid out for building purposes. Mr. Clark estimated the damage done by the cattang of the railway at more than 13,0001. Mr. Lloyd complained of the great price demanded, particularly with reference to the damage occasioned by the cutting. There was • wide field for fancy as to supposed damage by the severance. His own opinion was that railways did not majors property in • com mercial point of view. The Solicitor-General addressed the jury on the whole ease. The learned assessor, in placing the case before the jury, thought the material question was as to the alleged depreciation by the severance of the land. In his opinion it was unreasonable to suppose that to cut through a large . property like the present did not consider ably depreciate it. The lui7 would, however, consider the matter, and the other question as to the value of the land. Theory retired, and on their return gave • verdict far 13,4x0& The can was not concluded till pain 7 o'clock.

Sir G. GREY was undempood to say that there was a clause in a bill of the present session dealing with cases of compensation arising out of cattle alaughtmed within three months ; but it was withdrawn. These cases stood on a different footing from the subsequent cases in which cattle were slaughtered under the set of parliament, and the Privy Council called for returns both as to the num ber of cattle slaughtered, and the circumstances under which cattle had been acquired. When be left office these returns had not been sent in. THR CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. In reply to Kr. Nun, Kr. GILLDSTONE said he proposed to proosed with this bill to-morrow (Tuesday), but if it were found that it would not be convenient to take it then, he would take oars to make the fist known before the sitting closed. SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, pursuant to notice, made • sort of supplementary financial state ment. He commenced by reminding the house that Mr. Gladstone. in his budget, had estimated the revenue for the current year at 67,013,0001., and the expenditure at 66,727,0001., leaving a surplus of 286,0001. ; but the sup plementary estimates laid on the table by the new govern ment, amounting to 495,0001., changed that surplus into • deficiency of 209,0001. Haying discussed the expediency of supplying this deficiency by new taxes, or by the creation of exchequer bills or bowie, rejecting both suggestions, he stated that the government proposed to fill up the gap by relinquishing Mr. Gladstone 's bill for the creation of terminable annuities, and as this set at liberty 502,500/. of this year's revenue—the deficiency would thus be re-con verted into • surplus 293,5001. Mr. Disraeli, after express ing his regret that his first official act should be to propose an increase in the expenditure, proceeded to an exposi tion of the financial policy of the present government. He reminded the house that four years ago—acting with the entire assent of • meeting of the conservative party —he bad called the attention of parliament to the urgent necessity for reducing the national expenditure, and that Mr. Walpole had made • motion on the subject, which, however, was withdrawn on the declaration of Lord Palmerston that he should regard the carrying of it as a vote of want of confidence, and, on • pledge being given by the government in • resolution of their own—in favour of economy, which he acknow ledged had subsequently been carried out. 'While bearing in mind, therefore, the importance of efficiency in the public services, and while arming our soldiers with the best weapon, and placing our sailors in the best ships, the government would act on the principles of economy and reduction of expenditure which they advo cated while in opposition. By this policy there would be secured to the country financial reserves—much more Yalu able and reliable than the military reserves of which so much boast was made—and when taunted with not enter ing into foreign quarrels, England would have the conso lation of knowing that she would thus be enabled, when ahe did descend into the arena, to carry out her inex orable purpose, however wide or however long the struggle might be. Mr. GLADSTONE—assuming from Mr. Disraeli's speech that he had no hostility to the policy of the Terminable Annuities Bill, and intimating that if the government did not take up the subject next year he should do so himself—offered no opposition to its withdrawaL At the same time he guarded himself against concurring alto gether in the supplementary estimates, for, as far as he understood General Peel's statement, he thought he was acting too hastily and improvidently, and was practising rather on the susceptibility of the country in proposing to spend 750,0001. during the next two years in mere conversion • nor, remembering what bad happened in 18.59, was he satisfied with Sr J. Pakington's speech on Friday night last He disputed the accuracy of Mr. Dis raeli's history of the economical movement—main taining by reference to the debates and the votes of the time that the credit of first insisting on reduction of the estimates was doe to Mr. Stensfeld, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. W. E. Forster, and, admitting that the liberal party had no monopoly in it, he congratulated the country on the rivalry in retrenchment which was now promised between the two aides of the house. Sr S. NORTHCOTE also referred to the debates of 1864, maintaining that the movement for reduction origi nated in two speeches made by himself and Mr. Disraeli in that year, which elicited a declaration from several gentlemen below the gangway—Mr. White among others —that they would propose • motion to teat the opinion of the house. After some remarks from Sir J. PAICINGTON in reply to Mr. Gladetone's animadversions on his administration of the navy in 1869, the subject dropped. TIME NATIONAL GALLERY. The often discussed question of the site of the Na tional Gallery was revived by Mr. Beresford-Hope, who moved a resolution in favour of the Burlington-house site, which was supported by Mr. Layard, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Tite, and Mr. T. Baring ; while the Trafalgar-square site was supported by Mr. H. Seymour. Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Cowper; and Lord J. Manners, speaking for the govern ment, said they adhered to the opinion they expressed in 1859 in favour of the Trafalgar-square site. On a division the motion was rejected by 94 to 17. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. In ansi;eltos;;MoimeT•Mtio;;irOiiil7ls:olf rerru, Lord STANLEY said that the Porte bad not yet recog nised Prince Charles of Hohenzollern as Hoepodar of the Principalities, though negotiations were going on which might have that effect, and repeated his explanation of Friday night, that the only part taken by England in the mediation between Austria and Prussia was to support an armistice as a matter of humanity. He confirmed the intelligence i : geo that an armistice for fire days nad been to by Austria and Prussia, and would probably be accepted by Italy ; adding that there was some reason to hope that it would be prolonged, and that hostilities would not be renewed. THE HOUSELES3 POOR ACT. Mr. BROMLEY called attention to the defective ope ration of the Metropolitan Monocles Poor Act, and re commended a more stringent treatment, under the super intendence of the police, of the professional vagrants who are thereby attracted to the metropolis._ Mr. Nmite, Mr. Henley, sad ColOnel Hogg made some observations in reference to the vagrant poor in the oountry districts. Mr. HARDY, though he was too new in office to have informed himself on the subject thoroughly, was of opi nion that the act had answered the purpose of clearing the streets of homeless poor, and promised in the recess to consider bow the vagrant impostor, could best be hin dered from abusing it. THE SUPPLEMENTARY WAR ESTIMATES. In committee of supply, General PEEL moved the supplementary estimates, amounting to 245,0001., for converting Enfield/ into breech loaders, and tonk the opportunity of defending himself from Mr. Gla4stone's charge of precipitancy brought against him is the early part of the evening. He pointed out that he was only acting on the decision of his prode aware, and that only half of this estimate was for con version. The Enfield factory was to furnish 100,000, which entailed a oust of 45,0001. beyond the sum already obtained by Lord Harlington for converting 40,000; and he had also entered into contracts with the trade for 50,000, tenders also having been invited for 50,000 more. The rest of the estimate was for ammunition—the cwt of which waa about 11. per 1,000 rounds dearer than the ordinary Enfield ammunition, and it would provide 200 rounds for each converted breech loader. . . . .

RAILWAYS (IRELAND) TEMPORARY ADVANCES BILL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, In moving She sesced slain d this WI, expleteed that its objest EVENING; JULY 24, DM:. Music. THE CHOLERA. The Privy Council have just issued two orders in pursuanos of the powers given by the " Diseases Pre suasion Ant," ecataining directions and regulations to be enforced in the metropolis and all unions and parishes of England, and in all parte and arms of the sea /yingwithin the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. These documents have been sent to the boards of guardians or vestries of every pariah. That with regard to the metropolis, directs the board or vestry in a pariah where cholera or diarrhas may exist to meet daily with the view of carrying the regulations into tome, power being given to them for the appointment of neorrary medical officers for various por poses, including a daily house to house visitation amongst the poorer classes, and giving the necessary immediate assailed assistance to the sick. Such medical visitors are to report cases of destitution requiring relief to the relieving officer, who is to afford it at discretion and in every OW of cholera or diarrhais where the patient is not under monad care and treatment the vestry or hoard shall cause medical assistance to be rendered with the utmost expedition, and such aid and comfort, nourish ment, and moommodation as the circumstances of the ease will admit, with the object of restoring health. The vestry or board are also to provide nurses to aid the medical visitor., and where necessary hospitals for patients who have no home, or cannot otherwise be properly treated. Directions are also given for the proper so. potation of the sick and healthy in dwellings when disease exists, and for the disinfection or destruction where necessary of bedding, clothing, and other things. Vestries or boards having power over waterworks are to cause the reservoirs, cisterno, pipes, pumps, and other appa ratus belonging thereto to be cleansed and purified. Arrangements are to be made with undertaken, and with the proper authorities of burial pounds, so that coffins may be ready to be supplied immediately on demand, and interments speedily take place in the cases of deaths arising from cholera or diarrhces ; and the vestry or board shall, when informed of say such death, cease th e oorpse to be buried with the earliest possible despatch. No collection of persons is to be allowed in sash case to ensemble in the room when the corpse is, and no " waking" of the dead is to be allowed. The immediate removal is ordered Venn any room which living persons inhabit of the corpse of every person dying from cholera or choleraic diarrhwa until the time of its inter ment, and such means are to be adopted for preventing the spread of infection from the corpse as the medical officer of health of the districtshall recommend. Precautions are to be taken by boards or vestries as to ships and vessels lying in their parish or district. Statistical returns see to be fur nished weekly to the Privy CounciL Vestries or boards are to distribute such admonitory notices to the owners and occupiers of property within their parish or district as to the provisions of the acts for the removal of nuisances as shall appear to be requisite, and all such medical advice and such directions and instructions as in their judgment shall be necessary to afford aid to persons attacked with cholera or diarrhceit, or for the carrying of these regula tions into execution, and inform the public what special arrangements have been made for affording medical or other assistance in the parish or district. In conclusion a general order and exhortation is given for aid to vestries or boards in their efforts to prevent or mitigate the diseases In question. There has been another death at the Liverpool work house sinoe Sunday, that of Henry Hawthorne (ss). There have been two admissions of new cases, both adults, from court houses in the town. The German interpreter, Rickards, is better, and likely to recover. Two of the old patients have been discharged, and seven are convalescent. The precautions taken by the governor of the workhouse u to Bushing the sewers, cleansing the water cisterns, and using disinfectants, appear to be must effective in pre venting the spread of the disease. CHOLERA AT CHISWICK. THE MUSICAL FIHTIVALS. The Worcester Musical Festival (or the meeting of the Three Choirs of Worcester, Gloucuter,and Hereford) will be held on the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th of September next. The works announced for the morning performances are : — TaeadaV , Sept. 11, The Dettingen Te Deets, the Aria and second parts of The Creation, and a selection from Noacian ; Wednesday, Sept. 12, Elijah; Thursday, Sept. 13, Beethoven's " Service" in C, a melee Hon from Joshua, and Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise ;" and on Friday, Sept. 14, The AlessitiA- There will be miscellaneous concerts on Tuesday, Wed nesday, and Thursday evenings; and a ball on Friday even ing will terminate the festiveL The following vocal per formers are engaged Mdlle. Titiens, Madame Lemmens- Shenington, Madame Sainton•Dolby, Madame Patey- Whyte*, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Cummings, Mr. Bentley, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. The conductor will be Mr. Done, and Dr. S. 8. Wesley will preside at the organ. The band and chorus will exceed 350 performers. These arrange meats afford little subject for remark. The list of principal performers presents a great array of talent, and the numerical strength of the instrumental orchestra and chorus is quite sufficient for any legitimate purpose it being too much the fashion now-a-days to seek fo; power by multiplying voices and hands—an expedient which really produces nothing more than noise. But the scheme shows the besetting fault of these " Meetings of the Three Choirs "—• lack of novelty and variety. With a little research and consideration, the monotonous rou. tine of the performances might have been avoided by the introducing of works by the greatest masters, which the public rarely have the opportunity of hearing. A distinguiahed party of Welah musicians are on the eve of going on a professional tour through their native principality. They are Mr. Brinley Richards, Mr. John Thomas, Mis' Edith Wynne, and Miss Kate Wynne. It is well known how muck has been done by these ad mirable artists in drawing the attention of the public to the beautiful and romantic melodies of their country. and it will be interesting for the people of Wale* them selves to learn what has lately been done in spreading the knowledge of, and taste for, this ancient sad most inte resting music. *part tug intelltgnice.

SCHOOLS' PETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. A large number of the children belonging to the Sunday, national, and ragged schools of the metropolis reoeived a " treat " at the Crystal Palace yesterday, under the auspices of the Universal Beneficent Society, whose object appears to be so to regulate the funds at their dis posal as to give the pupils of these public establishments occasional sources of amusement, as well as to aid them in • more material degree. There were, it was said, about 15,000 children present ; and the arrangements were con ducted on so liberal • scale that they were not compelled to present themselves at a particular moment and under prescribed circumstances, but were allowed full liberty to arrive at the Crystal Palace at whatever hour their pro- tectors might find convenient. The result of thia manage ment was, that, while the children seemed thoroughly to enjoy the healthful entertainment provided for them they never appeared together in such overwhelming numbers as to convey the impression that the palace and grounds were appropriated for the occasion to their especial delectation. The weather was so congenial that the little holiday makers found more pleasure in the sports to be enjoyed outside than in the attractions to be found inside, and their recreations were all the more appreciated be cause they were without any apparent restraint. Sher bet and other refreshing liquids were supplied them in the course of the afternoon, and their sense of enjoyment was sustained by the permission to roam whithersoever their inclination led them. The principal entertainments for the day consisted of the performances by the band of the company, • display of the terrace fountains, Signor Etbardo's ascent of the " spiral mountain," Shakespearian illustrations in the Shakespeare House by B. Goodwyn Lewis, and • series of athletic in which the children took so much delight •t the spirit of emulation prompted them to arrange some few evolutions of a similar character amongst them selves. As to the daring feat executed by Ethardo, their astonishment and delight scarcely knew any bounds as he made his backward descent, although many of the juvenile si thtseers expressed their opinion that be was not equal to Blondin--an idea which they were somewhat disposed to modify when it was suggested by older bystanders that the latter had one advantage over the former, in the feet that if he should chance to slip he might be enabled to cling to the rope, whereas the "spiral amensionist " would have so such means of saving himself. On the whole, the large mass of juveniles west through the day's pleasures with the heartiest appreci►tion ; and when the t im e arrived for their return homeward, thej , exercised their lungs with a power and energy which indicated that they were do. cidedly benefited, rather than fatigued, by their unwonted exertions. • PATINE-OPTICS MUSEUM, SOCEN KEESTNOTON. —Number of viaiton for the week ending July 21, 1,884.

The writer is a clerk in the City with a very modest inc , me, who, aided by his wife, habitually spends more of it and of his leisure time amongst the poor than the sons of Mammon would consider either wise or prudent. The sacrifices this young couple make, and the practical good they do, ought surely not to fall to the ground for the want of help. I have sent them my mite.—l am, &c., July 20. W. I "My dear Sir,—l am sure you will excuse my begging of you even if you are unable to assist me, but we are in such an awful condition at Chiswick that lam obliged to I appeal to some of my own friends for help. The cholera has broken out here, there have been several deaths, and the people are in the utmost poverty. My wife and • Sister of Mercy, who came at my request, are all the nurses we have. The sister is living in my house, and we have spent every penny we can spare, and much more than we ought to spare. The clergyman of the district gave my wife all the money he had, amounting to 125., and all his brandy, which was about half a bottle full. He went with me and the vicar of the parish to ask for some money, but could not get any, only permission to spend 10f., of which he would guarantee the repayment, but our ready money sources are already dried up in this moneyless locality. My wife found three cases of choleraic diarrhoea without • penny in the house, and one poor woman now dying of cholera was found by the sister and my wife lying on a bed covered only with a carpet, with her sister lying dead in the house, and no living person in it, and she shouting for help. The doctors say this case might have recovered if it had been discovered in time. There is now to my certain knowledge one dead body lying uncolfined which kill been dead since Wednesday night, and I am in formed that two others who died on Monday are still unburied. We have given away every blanket and piece of flannel which we can spare, and are now at our wits' end for further assistance. "Mr. Tooth, the clergyman, wrote to the Times making for help, but his letter has not been inserted. His letter described the state of the district, which is certainly in the most awful condition you can imagine. There is no drainage, and the poor ha►e to buy water or else drink th►t supplied from pumps, one of which stands in each so-called street, which are at present simply receptacles for filth of all sorts, and through some of which I don't believe it would be possible to drive without being upset. My wife tested the water in several hence yesterday, and in each case found it impure. " What we should have done, if the sisters bad not so promptly replied to my letter I dont't know ; but I should be most thankful to you if you will help us, either with money, wine, or br►ndy, or in any way you can, but more especially if you would try and induce some of the papers to take up and expose the awful oondition of this district.

FAILURE IN THE ISON TIULDE.—BINMINONAM, MONDAT NIGHT.—A failure in the South Staffordshire iron trade ham been announced here to-day. It is on the part of Henry Cromwell, of Tipton, who be. filed his petition in the Bankruptcy Court. The liabilities are estimated at 100,0001. Cromwell was connected with the Rhos Hill Iron Company, and was in fact one of the promoters of that concern. Some members of his family carried on the Tipton Iron Works prior to 1857, and a stoppage took place at the close of that year. A part of the old liabilities will make up the aggregate of the present indebtedness. The estate will, It is feared, be a bad one for the creditors. jAdvertiaatnesnt, I—HOLLOWAY'S OTTfTIFE ll NT.—I lap, scrofula= mores, glandular menhirs, this Clindinent operates very gentli, but very siirelL e ari with • rapidity that resembles magic. t should be ru Into Use parts affected after they have bees fomented with lukewarm water.
