Tax history of Spain is in a fair way to shrink to the history of its army and navy. For the last seven years the world has scarcely heard of that country except iu connexion with wars of aggression and conquest, varied with military plots and insurrections at home. The war with Cochin China in 1858 began the series of foreign expedi tions, and was soon followed by that of Morocco, which resulting in victory, and being followed by payment of a large sum of money as indemnity, unfortunately confirmed the propensity of the nation for similar adventures. In 1860 San Do mingo was seized and occupied by a Spanish force, before ever the inhabitants had any suspicion that their independence was in danger. The next year saw the intervention in Mexico, which General Ppm had the sense and spirit to cut short before his country was too deeply engaged to re cede. In 1864 a quarrel was suddenly fastened on Peru, which lasted nine months, and later became the cause of the recent war between Spain and Chili, in which Peru was the ardent ally of her sister republic. A notification to the foreign consuls at Callao has just informed the world that that war has terminated, without the conclusion of any treaty of peace, and simply by the retirement of the Spanish squadron from the scene on which it had figured so much to its disadvantage. The notification of the Spanish Admiral merely states that the blockade of Callao is raised, and that the Spanish fleet is withdrawn from Peruvian waters. The notorious fact is, that the naval forces of Spain have left the Pacific coast without having accom plished any of the objects to which its Govern ment committed itself before the world. The Spanish have not extorted the humiliating condi tions which they went to require ; they have for feited their claim to the money which Peru agreed to pay under the convention of January, 1865 ; they have lost the war-ship Covadongs, and they have been fairly beaten off Callao, which they undertook to bombard, but which, on account of the efficiency of the Peruvian batteries, they were unable to approach. Nor is this all, for the barbarous policy of the Spanish Government in bombarding Valparaiso, an unde fended commercial town, has not only lowered it in the eyes of the world, but has facilitated the formation of a league among the South American Republics, which have increased their armaments and banded together for mutual protection. If, as seems probable, this alliance should be consoli dated, the result may appear at no distant date in a renewal of hostilities, the initiative of which will not belong to the Government of Madrid. Spain can only lose, while the Spanish American Re publics have all to gain in the new world. Marshal O'DONNELL will find it difficult to give a satisfactory account to the Cortes of this the last of the foreign expeditions which have distinguished his political administration. The last news we hear from Spain is, that another military revolt has broken out at Madrid. The mutinous regiments brought twenty-six guns into action, anddistributed muskets tothe disaffected inhabitants, who threw up barricades and maintained an obstinate resistance, which was only suppressed after great loss of life. At Gerona, in Catalonia, the garrison revolted and marched out to meet General Palm, who was expected to arrive by the French frontier. The southernmost province of Spain appears to share the disorder of the centre and north-east, for we are told that under the apprehension of further insurrectionary attempts, precautionary measures have been adopted in Anda lusia. This is the eighth conspiracy or revolt of importance which the Madrid Government has had to stamp out since the beginning of the era of the foreign expeditions we have enumerated. The Carlist enterprise of General ORTEGA, Governor of the Balearic Isles, at the head of 3,000 men ; the conspiracy of the Conde de MowrEmourr, and his brother FERDINAND, at Tortuga; the insurrec tion at Loja ; the conspiracy for which General Plum was exiled in 1864 ; the riots at Madrid, the conspiracy at Valencia, the military insurrec tion at Aranjuez, and the riots at Barcelona, all in 1865, bear witness to the disorganized state of political affairs in that kingdom which the Emperor NAPOLEON only six years ago proposed to recognise as one of the " Great Powers" of Europe. Foiled in a foreign policy opposed to the whole THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVEIII4O, JUNE 26, 1866 spirit of the age, bankrupt as to its finseess, and perpetually in danger from mutiny in its army and insurrection in its great cities, it seems time for the Spanish Government to review its situation, , consider its recent experience, and enter upon a course better calculated to secure the prosperity and gain the confidence of the people, and repair its title to the respect of the world. The Liberal party in Spain may also properly be counselled to reconsider the policy of abstaining from constitu tional action in public affairs which it has followed fur the last two years. The plan of leaving the QCEEN to the influence of ecstatic nuns and poli tical confessors, and permitting the Government to be a prey to soldiers who have been accustomed to regard successful insurrection as the most certain road to advancement, is not justiliedby its fruits. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE MINISTERIAL POSITION. The vote of confidence in her Majesty's minis ters, and pledging the house to support a reform bill next session, of which Mr. Crawford was to give notice last evening, bad been regarded, the Times says, as an arranged thing, and a majority of 40 or more had been confidently reckoned on, when, just after the Cabinet had separated, a Lord of t he Treasury conveyed to Mr. Crawford • message declining his aid. It was too late for the operation, which was one that also required great delicacy of treatment. Ministers were under an engagement to do nothing of a political character till they made their decision and their explanations, and they could therefore have nothing to say to • movement intended to rescue them from their difficulty. Thus the scheme of a vote of confidence is at an end. The Times then goes on to argue that there is no cause for dissolu tion until givernmezt may chow to obtain a case by challenging an adverse vote on the bill or on themselves. Whether or not her Majesty shares the apprehension with which the great majority of her subjects view the possible displacement of the present government, she clearly, the Daily News observes, understands the feeling, and defers to it, knowing that the change would be attended by a diminution of the moral influence and consideration of England abroad. There are two ways out of the difficulty. The house may by an express vote recant its implied rejection of the reform bill, or her Majesty, if she is still unwilling to accept the resignation of Lord Russell and his colleagues, may exercise her pre rogative of dissolving parliament. As we have before argued, and as no one has ventured to dispute, adissolution a few months later is inevitable if ministers resign. So far as the feelings of the liberal party in the country are concerned, it is in favour of a direct acceptance of the challenge which the opponents of reform have thrown down. The Post maintains, in opposition to the Times, that the adverse vote of Monday week was in every respect a vote of want of confidence in the ministry. If they consent to retain their position they must either accept the vote of Monday with the alteration in the bill which is its conse quence, or the House of Commons must be induced to stultify itself by reversing its decision ; both of which events are equally improbable, not to say impossible. The Pool also protests against use being made of the antipathy of the conservatives to Italy in the present discussions.l The Herald taxes ministers with a want of that unselfish loyalty which would lead them to counsel the Queen with out regard to party interest. They are on the contrary disposed to drag her into a political contest and to repre 'rent her as a partisan. If ministers retain office, it is they who have advised the Queen to retain them, and if they have done wrong in retaining office, the censure falls on them, and on them alone. To attribute their conduct to the commands of the Queen is to violate the first rule of constitutional government ; it is to make themselves irresponsible and the crown responsible. Having pro mieed to stand or fall by the reform bill, Mr. Gladstone must keep his word. Ministers are pledged to resign, and are dishonoured if they remain. The Tel( graph still believes that dissolution is the na tural and straightforward way out of the difficulty, and places no great faith in any other device to efface the mischief which the house has done. The Star fears it is true that ministers will resign and not dissolve, and strongly urges them to appeal to the constituencies. • However great the heroism, -11 fr Star says, it is clear there hat been a military blitider, and L Marmom and not the cove osarszooder alissi be answerable for ven turing into aitenevny's country without havii obtained sufficient information of the whereabouts of the foe, and with forces so scattered as to be unable to support each other in the event of an attack. LATEST INTELLIGENCE: ALDI. EXTRAORDINAR Y MOVEMENTS OF GARIB The hulependance contains the following respect ing the movements of Garibaldi, which, if true, appear to be of the most extraordinary character : After having occupied Sondrio and Bormio in the Valte line, he cleared the neck of the Stelvio,which separates the valley of the Adda from the tipper Adige. Having entered the Austrian Tyrol, he did not, however, descend the Adige towards Botzen In order to strike Verona on the flank by Trent and Roveredo ; he pushed forward his advanced posts to Giants ; then crossing the moun tains which divide the Adige and the Inn he descended to Finstermnnz, near the frontier of the Lower Engadine. From Finstermunz, unless the events which have just taken place on Italian ground induce him to return to Italy, he may advance by Innsbruck and Satzburg into the Austrian Duchies themselves. At Milan they say that it is his intention to push for Munich. Commenting on this information the InAUpca dance adds: We are unable to see the utility of the one or the other of these operations, and, as they remove him to a great distance from his operations, we must wait for the further development o f his p lan before we can judge of it. Perhaps it is but a feint to cover from the enemy the real purpose of the daring leader of the volunteers. A correspondent writes from Brescia on the 21st: For eight days I have been in pursuit of Garibaldi, and find it impossible to come up with him. Yesterday at Bergamo ; to-day at Brescia ; to-morrow on the border of Lake Garda ; throwing the enemy off the scent ; coming down upon them without trace for the volunteers, without mercy for the Austrians. No one could tell where he is or where he is going, not even his staff. He has with him a single aide-de-camp, and starts off at the break of day. Ho takes the volunteers by surprise, appearing amongst them in the early morning ; he inspects the lines, pushes them forward and never looks behind. Thus he entered Naples in 1860 , whil st his army was two days march behind. All the volunteers who are to operate in the interior are assembled at Salo on the left bank of Lego ai Garda. The third regiment of volunteers arrived this evening by rail. They are almost all of them young men from 16 to 20 years of age ; gay, confident, full of enthusiasm, proud of being soldiers of Italy and of, Garibaldi. They have but one watchword—" forwarda.' The officers are almost all of them the companions of Garibaldi in former times, and some are veterans of 1848 and 1849. The legend is about to commence. Garibaldi is reported to have gone in the most opposite directions. A person said to me just now—" He is gone to Venioe don't tell anyone ; he will be hack to-morrow for his volunteers." It will be seen by the telegraphic news that the volunteers have gained their first battle. ADDRESS OF GENERAL BENEDEK. The Vienna. 6,Extte publishes in its evening edition a second order of the day, addreseed from Olmutz to the Saxon army. It is as follows , The army of the King of Saxony has ar rived on the soil of Austria. Hail to the illustrious Prince who commands it ! Hail to the gallant men who are under his com mand. A ff ection and loyalty to their King and country have induced this army voluntarily to abandon their homes without drawing their swords. In order to do battle with us in the cause of right and the independence of Saxony in Germany they have made a hard and painful sacrifice to the holy feeling of duty. But they can look with pride on their colours, for they flutter with the double splendour of fidelity and honor. The monarch, people and army of Austria salute the Saxons with joy. Welcome, then, brave companions in arms into the Austrian camp. T en cr av e faithful allies am a l so approaching. Wo are all of us going forward as brethren to the battle, to confront death, to rival each other in our confidence in God, in our resolution, our devotion, and our bravery, and penetrated by the inspiring conviction that as surely as God protects us we shall come victorious, with our united strength, out of a struggle in which we fight for a lust and sacred cause. ADDRESS OF PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM TO HIS ARMY. The Prince Royal of Prussia has addressed the following order of the day to his army : Soldiers of the Second Army,—You have heard the words of our King and Chief. The efforts of his Majesty to preserve the peace of the nation have been fruitless. So, with a full heart, but strong in his confidence in the devotion and bravery of his army, the King has determined to do battle for the honour and inde pendence of Prussia, and for the re-organisation of a power ful Germany. Placed at your head by the e and confi- dence of my royal fathe r, I amp roud grace a ac t having the opportunity, as the first subject of our King, to o fer with you my life and blood for the mast sacred cause of our country. Soldiers ! for the first time during 50 years our army finds itself in face of an adversary that is worthy of them. Have confidence in your strength and in our excellent and tried arms, and feel that the trial is to conquer the sa me enemy whom formerly our greatest monarch defeated with a small army. And now forward—with the old Prussian cry—" For God, King, and country !" F RED ERICK WILLIAM, Prince Royal, General of Infantry, and Military Governor of the Province of Silesia. Headquarters at Niesse, June 20. (RIII3TER'R TILZGRANS.) THE BATTLE NEAR VERONA. (OFFICIAL DEMPATCH.) HEADQUARTERS F O THE ITALIAN ARMY, JUNE 25, 4.10 P.M. The left wing and centre of the royal troops had crossed the Blincio and were marching in the di rection of Valeggio and Villafranca, when they were vigorously attacked by the Austrians with their full and combined forces. The Italian posi tions were captured and recaptured, the royal troops displaying great valour in the presence of the overwhelming forces of Austria. In the evening the royal troops still occupied Goito, Volta, Cavriana, and Solferino. During yesterday the Italians sustained great losses. Prince Amadeus, General Ce rale, and others were more or less seriously wounded, and General Villarey was killed. Prince Humbert performed prodigies of valour. The news respecting Prince Amadeus is re- assuring. General Cialdini, with his whole army, continues to occupy positions on the Po. 600 Austrian prisoners, officers and soldiers, have been sent to Milan. PARIS, JUNE 26. The Moniteur of this morning, in its bulletin, confirms the intelligence that the Italian army, under King Victor Emmanuel, has been forced to recross the Mincio. It adds that General Cialdini has not yet crossed the Po. - ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE ITALIAN VOLUNTEERS AND TEE AUSTRIANS. (OFFICIAL ITALIAN =WATCH.)

The screw steamer West of England was in col lision with the schooner Raphael, of Exeter, off the Start, on Monday, at noon, in a dense fog. The schooner went down with all hands. EXPRESS FROM PARIS• (PROM ova OWN CORRNSPOgDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The " attentive neutrality" of the French Em peror must to-day be fully on the qui vice. Amidst an avalanche of telegrams, leaving no doubt that the Italian army have met with a most serious check in the Quadrilateral, if not an irreparable defeat, it is doubtful at this moment whether Victor Em manuel has been forced to retreat and mercies the Mincio, or whether, as some despatches say, he has maintained all his " principal positions." The following resumt of the exciting news of the day is given by the Moniteur du Soir : The Italian army, commanded by Kin; Victor Emmanuel, effected its passage to the left bank of the hlineio by Valeggio and Goito, having on its left the fortress of Peachier, and it marched forward at ones. The left wing (let corps) was to have occupied the positions between PeaPeachierand Verona, so as to protect the f march of the 2nd and 3rd corps. But the lit corps not being sufficiently strong, was thrown beck upon the centre of the army, which at the same time was attacked by the Austrians making a sortie from Verona. The latter after following the line from Verona to Mantua% towards the south, in which direction the Italian army appeared to be moving, changed front to meet the King's troops, and offered them battle on June 24, the anniversary of Solferino. The news of the result, hitherto received, is very confused. In any case the struggle seems to have been very severe. A part of the Italian troops was forced to retire before the shock of the enemy, and it is even said that two divisions have recrossed the Muck. The battle appears to have been particularly hot near Custozza, a small town between Valeggio and Villa franca towards the north, and which was ultimately left in the hands of the Austrians . The latter have taken several prionpers and some guns. It would seem, however, that the bulk of the Italian army has maintained its positions on the left bank of the Mincio. King Victor Emmannel's troops behaved ex tremely well, according to all the information received, and their officers set an example of bravery. Several generals and the King's son Amadeus were wounded. The Austrians, who a few days since occupied the passes of the Stelvio, leading to the Tyrol and Lombardy, were preparing a movement in that direc tion, with the object of attacking the Italian army in the rear, and which, if the latter should be definitively re pulsed across the Mincio, would cause it meet serious embarrassment. It seems to me that the above official summary, drawn up with a bias towards the Italian cause, augurs that the results of the battle of the 24th must be disastrous. There is a despatch in the P resee stating that the battle of " Peschiera " was renewed to-day. The Bourse was very little affected by the news of the carnage in the Quadrilateral. Rente rose 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 63fr. in each case. Mobilier rose 3fr. 75c. The Italian Loan rose 20c., closing at 39fr. 90c. CONVOCATION OP THE PROVINCE OP CANT ERBURY.-(THIS DAY., - This morning both Houses of the Convocation 1 of the Province of Canterbury assembled at Westminster I for the despatch of business, and a very exciting session is anticipated. During the last few months the question of ritualism in the church, particularly in conn ection with th e vestments used by certain of the clergy during the administration of the Holy Communion, the use of in cense at various parts of the service, and other ob servances, have excited so much attention that the leaders of both parties—High and Low—have sent up monster deputations to the Primate on the sub ject, praying on the one band that the liberty of the church may not be restrained, and on the other that what are called R oman ising practices may be put down by authority. Meetings with the same view have been held in the various rural deaneries throughout the provinces, the result of which has been that convocation was to-day deluged with petitions, some praying for one course and others for exactly opposite, both sides pointing out that a tharuptien of the church must inevitably take place unless their peculiar views are carried out. The Archbishop of Canterbury arrived at 11 o'clock, and proceeded to the Lower House, which he opened with the usual formalities, the Latin Liturgy being read by the Prolocutor at the table. TEE UPPER HOUSE. Theirlordships of the Upper House met in Queen Anne's Bounty-office. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided, and there were present the Bishops of London, St. David's, St. Asaph, Saliabury, Llanda ff , Peterborough, Lincoln.and Oxford. There were also in attendance Dr. Travers Twin; (the vicar-general of the province), Mr. Francis Hart Dyke (the registrar), Mr. Felix Knyvett (the apparitor), and Mr. Watts. Petitions from various dioceses on ritualism, reform of convocation, the marriage laws, the colonial episcop ate, and Mr. Glldetone's Church-rate Bill, now before parlia ment, were presented. After the transaction of some formal business their lord ship. adjourned. THE LOWER HOUSE. The Venerable Archdeacon Bickersteth, the prolocutor, presided in the Lower House. There were p resent the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Canterbury, the Dean of Norwich, the Archdeacon of London, the Rev. Lord Aiwyne Compton, Archdeacon Lord Says and Sale Archdeacon Lord Arthur Hervey, Archdeacon Sir George Prevost, Bart., the Rev. Sir Henry Thompson, Bart., the Rev. Canon Hawkins, the Rev. Chan cellor Massing'oerd, the Rev. Prebendary Gibbs, the Venerable Archdeacon Emery, the Rev. Canon Seymour, the Venerable Archdeacon Mackenzie, the Venerable Archdeacon Freeman, the Venerable Archdeacon Randall, the Dean of Ely, the Rev. Canon Woodgate, the Rev. Dr. Leighton, Warden of All Soule College, Oxford. RITUALISM AND VESTMENTS. The Very Rev. Dr. GooDwPr, dean of Ely, said it would be in the recollection of the house that on the 9th February the prolocutor communicated to the archbishop and bishops affirming that the house recognising the evils which might arise from an excels of ritualism, de precated nevertheless any attempt to avert those passible evils by the introduction of changes into the Book of Common Prayer; but that, in coming to this resolution, the house by no means intended to express approval of deviations of any kind from church order. In consequence of this resolution the Upper House directed an inquiry, and • committee was appointed consisting of himself (the Dean of Ely), the Archdeacons of Berke Exeter, Taunton, Nottingham, Rochester, and St. Alb a ns , Westminster ; Dr. debt), Mr. Joyce, Fir. Leighton, Chancellor Massiz a herd, Mr. Oxendon, Canon Seymour, Mr. Woodf and Canon Woodgate. The Deans of Canterbury an Westminster, and Canon Blakesley, who were nominated on the committee, withdrew their names. The committee had held numerous meetings, and had agreed upon • report. The Very Rev. the Dean then laid the report—which has already been inserted in the Express—on the table for further consideration. Archdeacon DENISON, on this point, presented a memo rial from the English Church Union, praying that the church might not be restrained in this respect, and praying to be heard by counsel in the house. Sir H. THOMPSON protested against counsel being heard as being altogether ultra vires. Archdeacon Ditineos said he wasprepared to admit that, and would content himself by:moving that the memorial be allowed to lie on the table. Sir H. THOMPSON objected ; but the Prolocutor ruled thatthe proposal was in order, and the meenorial was re oeived. Archdeacon DENISON presented a gravamen signed by himself, setting forth various reasons why churchmen should not accept Mr. Gladstone's Church-rate Bill. He objected to the division of churchwardens into ecelesiasti nil and parochial, and maintained that the proposed voltui tary rate was a mere subscription. He proposed that the standing orders might be suspended in ceder that the grava men might be converted into an articulus deri. Canon KLmsAWAY said he seconded the motion toto corde. _ . — fie PROLOCUTOR put the question to the house, and it was rejected. Eta Court. THE WAR.—THE DEFEAT OF THE ITALIANS. Praising both belligerents for the truthfulness and mo deration of their despatches, the TilrlfS proceeds to speak of the attempt of the Italian army in front of Verona as ill-conceived though heroic. An advance across the Mincio, right into the heart of the Quadrilateral, is an enterprise which no other European army would, under such circumstances, have ventured upon, but a frenzy to do something seems to have possessed the whole Italian nation, and the men in command could think of nothing better than dashing their heads against those formidable stone walls. Apart from the immense works to which the Austrians could have safely retreated, there is every probability that the Italians were on this occasion also outnumbered. This failure of the King will probably break down the whole enterprise in which Cialdini and the Italian fleet were to co-operate. But, although the Italians met with so severe • reverse at the very outset, they will find that they have not fought in vain. The mere consciousness that they have taken the field unsup ported, and have fought not ingloriously, and against terrible odds, will end by inspiring them with good con fidence for the future, and raise them in their own and the world's estimation. The Times infers from the fact that the Russian army has crossed the Austrian frontier that • great engagement is close at hand. The question during the past week has been whether the Prussians would be content with what they bad gained, and stand on the defensive, or whether they would recall the exploits of the last century by a campaign in Bohemia. They have chosen the latter course. The Austrians, whose line is from Prague to Olmutz, will not be long in concentrating to meet this bold and perhaps unexpected invasion, and the battles which must decide to : whom the supremacy iu Germany shall be given will be fought on Austrian ground. The Da iii Neuc finds it difficult to foresee the political and military consequences of the serious reverse which the Italians have sustained. The plan of attack it is now seen was to reduce Venetia by assailing the Quadrilateral from the side of the Mincio, supported by a powerful force operating on the lower Adige, leaving Garibaldi to find such employment as he could for his volunteers in the passes of the Tyrol. The design of the campaign is simple, but suggests more of impetuosity than discretion. Bed the Italians under their gallant King defeated the Austrians at Custozza, the latter would have retreated to Verona, and under cover of their Maximilian towers would soon have been as formidable as ever. Not so with the Italians. The defeat which the King has sustained has not only driven him across the Mincio, but it may seri ously compromise the forces at Polesella. If it is true that 1 the Stelvio Pass is occupied by an Austrian detachment, and that this is but • first step towards the occupation of the defiles in the Tyrol, we fear that the gallant revolutionary leader will find his portion of the work in the Italian campaign rather beyond the capacity of the force assigned to him. The Italian government will do weU to reconsider its scheme. With a plan of campaign less hazardous, and the support of the troops who have fought so bravely on this occasion King Victor Emmanuel may hope to prolong the campaign,, and, if fortune favours, with the aid of the fleet and the volunteers, may yet claim Venetia as his own. The Herald is at a loss to understand the hardihood which has led the flower of Italy into the very jaws of the line. —encountering dangers from which Louis Napoleon shrank even after the victory of Solferino. It is no dis credit to the Italian army that it has been defeated, but • grave responsibility rests on those who counselled so ill advised • movement. The Herald then proceeds to laud the Austrian empire, her deliberate energy, and her pro gressive policy. The Telegraph mourns the defeat of the Italian', though ' it trusts that the temporary check will only add to the determination of the people, and that the precious blood spilt will consecrate in their eyes the cause for which so many gallant men have perished. In the meantime Gari baldi may be heard of, and whether he astonishes the natives of the Bavarian Tyrol, or gets in the Austrian rear on the line of the Adige, or joining his son Menotti, makes a dash at Istria, he will, we need not doubt, do good ser vice to the cause of his country, and yet further enhance his own fame as • patriot and • soldier.

(BE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) WINDSOR, TI'ESDAY. _ - The Queen arrived at Windsor Castle at 8.4:.) this morning. The ministers will reach Windsor at 2.30 in order to have a conference with her Majesty. We have authority to state that there is no truth in the announcement which has appeared in several of the journals that Mr. Edmund Harrison has resigned the office of deputy clerk of the Council. The foundation stone of the new North Stafford shire Infirmary, at Hartshill, near Stoke-upon-Trent, was laid yesterday by the Prince of Wales amidst great local rejoicings. This institution, the total cost of which will be 34,0001., is intended to supersede the present infirmary for the district, which was erected at Hanley in 1615, buthasi become untenable from the delapidations caused by mining operations, and the immediate contiguity of the great works of the Shelton Bar Iron Company. The new infirmary will be built on the new red sandstone, just beyond the boundary line of the Pottery coalfield. The principal front will have a western aspect, and extensive views of the surrounding country will be obtained from almost every portion of the buildings. The main buildings are designed for the reception of 167 beds, and the fever wards, which are detached, for 24 beds ; and there will be one pavilion for the purposes of the out-patients' depart ment. The buildings in external appearance will be of a plain character , showin g only natural constructive treatment of local materials, and a grouping of the several parts into a picturesque whole. The internal arrangements will, however, be made as complete as possible, and will include all the modern improvements which science has placed at the disposal of humanity. His Excellency the Prussian Ambassador and the Countess Bernstorff arrived in town yesterday from visiting the Lord Chancellor and Lady Cranworth at their seat in Kent. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde entertained at dinner last evening, at their residence in Stratton-street, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Marquis of Sligo, the Earl and Countess of Cork, the Earl Annesley, the Countess Cowper and Lady Frances Cowper, Viscount and Viscountess Stretford de Bedeliffe and Hon. Miss Canning, Viscount Somerton, Lord Harris, Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower, Hon. C. Carrington, Dr. Quin, and Mr. Dyke. An English clergyman and his wife left Bombay on the 30th ultimo for England. They had taken passages in the mail packet for themselves and their only son, who had turned Mahommedan. He had obtained a sum of money front his parents to pay his debts on shore, and to the grief of his parents when the time arrived for the racket to leave the son was not on board and could not be found. His father died on board the packet in the Red Sea, and his mother died on the 19th inst. on board the mail packet from Alexandria. They each died, it is believed, from a broken heart. DEATH OF THE PRINCE DE CoNnr,.—We regret to hear of the decease of the Prince de Conde, son of the Duc d'Aumale, who died of typhus fever at Sydney. Major Dickson gave notice last night of his in tention to ask the Secretary of State for War on Thursday if it is the intention of her Majesty's government, taking into consideration the disturbed state of the Continent, at once to increase the strength of the army and to embody a portion of the militia, so as to place the country in a position to maintain the national honour if unfortunately we should be compelled to assume a hostile attitude during the impending European struggle. At Pymore, in Dorsetehire, four swarms of bees leave been obtained from one stock within little more than a fortnight. A letter from Dublin says :—" Bright warm weather has apparently set in throughout Ireland, and is looked upon as most timely after the heavy rains of the earlier portion of June. The growth of potatoes and grain of every kind has during the last few days been almost tropical, and the highest expectation of a bountiful bar vest is anticipated throughout the land. The propitious change is looked on as specially beneficial from the fact that farmers, as if by a common understanding, have this year planted an immense grain and potato crop, in the an ticipation of the scarcity of cattle rendering pasturage less valuable than usual. A fine summer and a good har vest would prove the salvation of the country, and raise it from the depression undoubtedly experienced at present, as the combined result of past Fenianism, the monetary difficulties in England, and the prospects of continental war, certain sympathetic effects of the latter causes being of course felt at this aide of the Channel." Immense " takes" of herrings have been secured within the past few days at Arklow, which being sold at the vessel's side at 50s. a mace, are at once secured by libelist, buyers and forwarded in special trains to Dublin, where they are shipped for Liverpool for curing as the well-known " bloater." SIR EDWARD DERING AND THE GOVERNMENT DEFEAT. —Much surprise and disappointment have been felt among the liberals of East Kent, at the fact of Sir E. Daring having voted against the government in the late division. The letter which we publish in another column, signed "W. E. W.," is only one of a number which we I have received on the subject, all attesting the strong feeling of dissatisfaction to which the vote of the hon. baronet has given rise. This feeling has also found ex pression in the Isle of Thanet by the signing of the foi -1 leering requisition :—" We, the undersigned, freeholders of the eastern division of the county of Kent, having exerted ourselves to the utmost in securing your return to parliament, view with extreme regret your recent adverse vote to the government ; and most respectfully request you will confer the favour on us to name a day when it will be most convenient for you to meet your supporters, and explain why you voted in the way you did, thereby increasinfg the difficulty and embarrassment of the government." Sir Edward has to some extent anti cipated the request for an explanation, by the letter which follow that before alluded to, but which, we must confess, scarcely lessens our own surprise that, on so vital an issue, Sir Edward should have given an adverse vote to the ministry whose general policy he was returned to support. —South Eastern Gazette.

RITUALISM AND TESTMMITIL The house then proceeded to the consideration of the report which had been laid upon the table. the adoption of the report. He said that nearly $0 h ours had been consumed in considering the matter and in dra get The Dean of ELY said he should now be prepared to move k . durioe ... w up int i uLt r l i i al e report , and atths : o. co e m i t l n a i r t d te: appointed 4,, the intervals, so that great labour bad been beat upon it. He had seen in the papers a ridiculous and foolish report that the committee had been in oommunics. tion with certain eminent ritualists in various part& of the country, with a view to ascertain what they would aocevt as a minimum. He need hardly say that the committee had had nothing to do with a in,. cesaling of that sort, whatevar individuals might have dune, and of which he knew nothing. All that the committee as a body had dune was to draw up a plain, kind, honest, and • candid report. That,. he believed, had been accompluth e d, did the report l not of course convey the intlividul views of every member of the committee. Th e motion would be to the following effect:— That Mis ' " '` .ours adopts the report presented by the committee sp. pointed at the session of February 9 as being a temperas, statement on the subject of ritual practices in the clan* of England, and as calculated to assist in removing doubts and allaying anxieties, and raquests the Prolocutor to couintunicate it to the Upper House, with thi s r its judgment upon it. The very rev. dean theft proceeded to s pe ak of the general principles on which I the committee had based the conclusions at which they bad arrived. They had believed that the mind o f ti; church of England could not be ascertained by one or two sentences, as was the case with an act of parliament, hot var i ous documents, canons, articles, tic., had to b e ca. suited, and this had been done, not, however, with say • view to attain to an absolute uniformity which he believed to be impracticable.
