Diverting to the mon genfral topic of European 'fairs, Lord Stratford de Eadchife commented upon the agtisisive policy of Prussia, and invited the house to outsider whether it was desirable that this country should permit a great Power to be struok at from the list of nations without some expression of , opheien on our part. Deprecating war, and not Always npapothising with Austria, he still thought that the • apribuive policy pursued by one Power would lead to general danger. The doctrine of nationalities was one - whidt could he easily extended in any direction, and from , Ma influence no country could claim to be secure, so that if it were allowed to prevail universal uncer tainty must • . moist In conclusion, he moved for the production of papers , 4 relating to the Danubian Principalities. • Lard DERBY declined to follow Lord Stratford de Bed ; I diffe over the whole range of European polities, and • pointed eat that the alternative to inactively witnessing the course of the premed war was to interfere actively, which he believed no party in the country was disposed to • do.

With respect to the papers ; moved for, he thought it would be more for the public ad vantage that their production should be deferred until the pending negotiations were brought to a close. Lied RUSSELL approved the decision of the government and said that be saw no roman to object to the election of Prism Charles to the hospodarship of the provinces. The motion was then withdrawn. • The Standards of Weights, Measures, and Coinage Bill, and the Crown Lands BiII were severally read a third time • and pissied. • • The Postmaster-General Bill, the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Bill, and the Extradition Treaties Act Amendment Bill were each read a second time. ▪ , PUBLIC MEETINGS IN HYDE-PARS. -, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said—When I gave the ✓ notice last night which appmrs on the paper, I was nob aware that the subject of the meeting in Hyde-park had t • been discussed in the House of Commons, and that soda ` factory answers had been given by the present and by the Dots Semmtaiins of Seats.

A large portion of my measures were • carried by means of public meetings, and if my health be spared, and it please God, I hope to hold a great many more.

(Hear, hear.) • Thu house adjourned at a quarter past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FarDAT, JULY 20. The Smarms took the chair at Hee minutes to 4 o'clock. Lord C. Has ivroa took the oaths sad his seat on Ma rc election for the county of Tyrone. Mr. CORRY also took the oaths and his seat on his re-elec. lion for the tame county. Lord Rortyrox took the oaths and his seat far Cam bridgeshire on his re-election. BREECH-LOADER/3. General PEEL brought up & further report from the Ordnance Committee on the Snider and other rifles. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL Mr. NEATE gave notice of his intention on the second reading of this bill to move that it be read that day three months. ___ _____ NEW WRIT. On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR, a new writ wee ordered for Eye, in the room of Sir Edward Herrin:in, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. REDUCTION OF THE DOG TAX. In reply to Mr. W. Lsamn, Mr. HUNT said that the government did not intend to =ewith the bill which had been prepared on this sub dercriring the present session. LAW OP CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Mr. EWART asked the Secretary of State for the Hoene Department what course the government intended to pur sue with regard to the Law of Capital Punishment Amendment Rill. Mr. WALPOLE replied that the government did not intend to proceed with the bill ; but were ready to con- sent to its first reading, in order that it might be placed in the hands of members. THE IMPORTATION OF CATTLE. Mr. F. SURTEME asked the Vice• President of the Committee of Conseil on Education whether it was the in- tention of government to make any relaxation of the order in council which now compels all cattle coming from abroad to be slaughtered within four days after their land ing in this country. bit. CORRY replied that at a meeting of the Com mittee of Privy.Couneil lately held, it wu decided not to reLix the order In council at present. THE PUBLIC FINANCES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it might be a convenience to the house if he mentioned that on going into committee on Monday next he proposed to make a short statement, showing the additional charges on the Exchequer since the general financial statement was made by the right hon. gentleman opposite, and he would then inform the house what course the government proposed to follow in consequence. IRISH RAILWAYS. Mr. GREGORY called attention to the evidence given • before the commission on railways on the subject of the ' Irish railways, showing that the fare* were higher than those either in Scotland or England, while there was the minimum of aceommodation, and this to such an extent that its asserted that there was more accommodation in the old coaching times than now. The remedy was almost • universally admitted to be the passing of the railways hi • some shape or other into the hands of the government. • Mr. PIM seconded the motion. _ _ Mr. DUTTON hoped that the government would take the subject into consideration by next session. The object was to restore the credit of the Irish railways, when capitalists would be glad to invest in those nndertakinga. Lorl NAAS admitted the necessity for careful considera tion of the Ir s'i railways ; and if next session a measure war , riot brought forward by the government it would only I be bemuse of the insuperable nature of the rase. Mr. GLADSTONE said in reference to • measure in regard to Irish railways, which had been prepared by the late and adopted by the present government, that it would only enable the advance of about half • million. Its scope and purpose, therefore, were but small, and it could not be taken as • remedia l measure for the great disarrangement of the Irish railway system. As to the motion in hand, it would be premature pending the sitting of the railway commission to enter on the immediate con sideration of the whole question, although in his opinion nothing more beneficial could be effected for Ireland than the development of railways in that country. THE STATE OF THE NAVY. Mr. SAMUDA proceeded to call attention to the present state of the navy, and to the very small !magmas that has been made, especially of late ran, in its reconstruction with iron-clad vessels, and to compare these results with the great augmentation that has taken place, and is still taking place, in the armour-clad navies of other states. He said that it had taken seven years to produce 21 iron-clad vessels, while France had built 42 in the some time. The American navy would soon consist of 72 iron clad% So far behind other nations was this country in naval force, that no ordinary exertion could in an emergency place us in the position in which we ought to • be—that of having a fleet equal to those of all Europe combined. He suggested that a supplemental esti mate of 430,0001. might be asked for, to be applicable to the building of twelve vessels during the mesa, two or there being two-turret ship', each carrying two 600- pounder guns. and the other ten being one-turret ships, • one 600-pounder. The total cost would be about • 1., which might be spread over the estimates of three years. ' Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the statement of the disadvantageous position of the English navy relatively to those of other countries was rather understated ; even the Italian iron-clad fleet, to say nothing of that of France, • which had in fact 53 ships armour-clad, being in com ' parison superior to our own. Russia had a Luxe force, many of which were turret ships, while America had no lase than 73 effective vessels of war. Then Basil, Peru, and Chili had adequate iron-clad squadrons. In ; this state of things England bad only 33 of these ship, of which 30 were afloat and only three building. He regretted that so long a time had elapsed before the turret system ' was tried, and he bad taken steps to carry out the =ten ' thin of the late Admiralty in the construction of a of that class by Captain Cowper Co ,les • end he hoped that generally the recess would be utilised by the improvement 'of our Iron-clad ships. He pronounced in favour of turret • ships. Mr. T. G. BARING asserted that, apart from coast-de fence vessels, the sea-going armour-plated navy of Besgland was far greater than that of any other nation.

(Cheers.) Mr. M. 00011RAIIE said he was sorry to bear some of the optmans expressed by hon. gentlemen opposite. They all of them said they were * favour of non-intervention, and yet they were not actually in favour of it. He trusted that the policy of the present government would be the exact opposite of the policy of the past, for he believed that all the continental complications of the last three years had been cinch aggravated by our official meddlimg. He did not wish to detain the house, but he congratulated the house and the country on the policy which the noble lord had enunciated.

Not, however, wholly so, for at the close of his examination by counsel he gave some very important evidence in answer to the Lord Chief Justice's questions, into the insufficiefloy of Mt. Clare's specification, end as I understand it was on that issue that the jury gave a verdict adverse to the claim of Mr. Clare. Still, there can bo no doubt that Mr. Rua sell's evidence was in the highest degree material to the other issues, and he is now charged with having given that evidence falsely. When the application was feat made to me by Mr. Poland for a summons against Mr. Russell it was stated that his evidence was to the effect that a vessel called Her Majesty which had been built by him in the year 1850 (three r Are before the date of Mr. Clare's patent) was constructed upon the same principle as that of the 'W arrior, meaning. as was said, that the two vessels were entirely constructed on the same principle. The passages that were selected from Mr. Russell's evidence, and which I am bound to say appear to have been selected without say unfairness, un doubtedly appeared to me to bear that meaning. The models of Mr. Russell's tinsel and the Warrior that were produced showed that the two vowels were certainly not entirely constructed upon the same principle; nevertheless I hesitated to pant the summons, and I did not scruple to state publicly that I could not conceive lion and that a gentleman of Mr. Russell's well-known tion and at tammenta would have wilfully forsworn himself in such a matter. I thought it probable that be had mistaken the vessel he was speaking of for some other which had been built upon that principle, and that he would be able tho- roughly to clear up that mistake, and I ultimately con sented to issue the gammons only upon the condition that Mr. Clam would forego his right to call upon me to bind him over to prosecute in the event of my dismissing the summons, if I should do so upon arriving at the conclusion that it was impossible that Mr. Russell could be convicted by a jury. The defence, or answer, that has been set up by Mr. Rowell is certainly quite different from that which I bad anticipated. It was not disputed that the whole of his evidence did apply to the ship Her Majesty, but it was said that his evidence was never intended to convey that that ship and the Warrior were otitstructed alike, but that when he said they were constructed on the same principle, he meant merely that the principle on which the Warrior was built had been practically introduced in the construction of his ship. I have read over his evidence most carefully, but even with the aid of this explanation given by his advocate, I errifees that the impreertan conveyed to my mind is, that Mr. Remelt stated, though not in exact or precise words, that the two vessels were built alike, i. e., that the principle on which they were built was carried out through the entire fabric of both vessels. lint I am not at all prepared to say that a jury would come to the same conolusion ; and upon ao grave a charge as that of perjury, if there were any doubt as to Mr. Russell's real meaning, they would assuredly give him the benefit of that doubt, and, there fore, entertaining the opinion that it is improbable, ex tremely improbable, that a conviction would follow, I shall refuse to commit Mr. Russell for trial ; but, at the same time, I feel that this improbability of a conviction, however great, is very different from the impossibility a one which I contemplated when I imposed the condition I have mentioned on the prosecutor. In other words, the answer to the °swishy no means so complete and satisfactory as I expected it would have been when I issued the sum mons. I consider, therefore, that though I shall not commit Mr. Russell to be tried for perjury, I ought to release the prosecutor from the promise I exacted from him, and to remit to him the right be would have under the statute, so that if he thinks fit he can require me to take his resogni ranee to prosecute ; but before Mr. Clare adopts that course, which, from what I have seen of him, I suspect he would of his own accord be too prone to do, I trust he will reflect upon what I have said as to the extreme improba bility of obtaining s conviction, and will consider the great expense it will put him to in carrying on what is likely to turn out an unavailing prosecution, and will act upon the counsel of his legal advisers, who ere so much more competent to form a cool, and therefore correct judgment upoc the case tban he himself, with the feeling perhaps not an unnatural one—that injustice has been done him—can possibly arrive at. I therefore propose to adjourn the case for a few days, and if Mr. Clare's de cision is to call upon me to bind him over, notice shall be given the other aide, that they may attend and hear the depositions read over. Maim. LORD CLARENOE PAGET AND THE POPE. Mr. WHALLEY rose to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether ha was prepared to contradict certain unfounded statements which had appeared in the conti nental newspapers, sad thanes copied into English papers, as to the proceedings of the commander of the fleet in the Mediterranean, and particularly the following : "that Lord Clarence Paget, the commander of the fleet in the Mediterranean, in passing through Rome, requested an audience of the Holy Father, which was granted, and lasted above an boar ; and, afterwards, that he directed his way to the Farness Palace, where his Majesty Francis IL granted him an audience, as desired." Lord H. LENNOX thought it unnecessary to give any answer to the question, which, moreover, was not one which it was within the province of the Admiralty to answer. No donbt if Lord C. Paget had visited Rome be would, with other visitors, have paid his respects to the head of the country ; bat the fact was that Lord C. Paget had not visited Rome at all, but was now on a visit to the Sultan at Constantinople. (Laughter.) OYSTER FISHERIES BILL. Thb bill was read a third time, and pared.

Fresh cases of cholera which have had a fatal termination continue to be reported both in London and from the provinces. It now turns out to be untrue that the Queen of tha Colonieswas towedfromGraveeend to the Lower Hope yesterday, having Asiatic cholera on hoard. The facts are simply these : two females, passengers had died of English cholera, the disease being ca used - chief by eating fruit, and the same came accounted for two or three cases of diarrhma which had also occurred on board. The ship is to have an additional surgeon, and if any fresh eases occur she is toput into Portsmouth' On Thursday,the health of the passengers was good, ; there had been no fresh cases. The Chelmsford Chronicle states that in the neighbourhood of Stratford there were about four cases of spontaneous English cholera on Saturday last, which resulted fatally ; one in Chant, one near Bow-bridge and one on Plaistow marsh. Several Others ended fatally on Sunday, and on Monday in three different localities the disease became epidemic, viz., three were cases arising from contagion, and two were Asiatic cholera. On Tuesday there were about eight deaths, three on Wednesday, and two on Thursday. At 7 o clock on Thursday evening Mr. Charles Tuck, aged 47, a pianoforte maker, living at 2, George-street, Foley-street, Marylebone, was brought into the infirmary of the Marylebone workhouse, suffering from cholera. Dr. Randall wee ai once summoned, and administered such remedies that the symptoms disappeared, but all Dr. Randall's endeavours to save life proved ineffectual, for the unfortunate man died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, the cause of death being exhaustion caused by excessive diarrhais. Two children having died of English cholera in the St. James's Model-lodging-house, New-street, Berwick-street, Dr. Simon, Medical °Meer to the Privy Council, applied to the parochial authorities of St. James's, Westminster, for information as to the causes of the complaint which led to the death of the children. Dr. Lankester, the coroner, and medical offioer of health for the pariah, thereupon examined into the circumstances, and in a re port made to the Sanitary Committee he attributed the complaint not to the existent). of independent cholera. but to the bad food of which the children may have partaken, and which might have been affected by the hot weather, the children having been very thirsty, and dra nk copiously of water the day before they died. Dr. Lankester examined the cistern, which he stated "is placed in the water closet, and all the emanations from the closet pass up into the cistern. In all such cases the water is more or less liable to contamination from absorption of the sewer gases, and as the children drank most on Sun day,when the supply of water is lowest, it is not improbable that the water may have added to the previous effects of bad food." The vestry had celled upon the committee of the Model Lodging House, to remove the cisteni, and pro vide one of sufficient dimensions to supply all the families in the house. A report has been made to the medical officer of the Privy Council on the subject. Yesterday, at the Thames Police-court, Mr. Partridge said he bad received a letter from Dr. Budgett, a physician living on the verge of the two parishes of St. George's-in the-East and St. Mary, Whitechapel. The writer called attention to the gross neglect of all sanitary precautions which existed in the neighbourhood, the Sanitary Act having become practically a farce. He concluded by stating that in the last three days he had had twelve cases of malignant cholera, of which seven bad proved fataL A correspondent telegraphs from Shrewsbury that cholera is assuming a serious aspect in that town. There were outbreaks in fresh quarters yesterday, and 16 fatal roses have have occurred sines Satur&y, and betwen 30 and 40 cases are still under treatment. The total number of cases up to yesterday afternoon ad mitted to the Liverpool Workhouse was 40, and among these there had been 22 deaths. Since Thursday there have been seven admissions, all from the town, and the cases appear to be of a far more virulent type than any yet ad mitted. Four deaths have taken place since Thursday, two of them adults. Severalof the patients who have been longer in the hospital have been removed to the conva lescent ward. • , r 0-41 During the week ending the 20th instant Aztec': persons have been attacked by Asiatic cholera in Cheshire, of whom 15 died, after an average of 17 hours. During the same week 23 persons were attacked with English cholera, of whom only one died. The total number of attacks of cholera up to the MI are as follows : 40 parsons attacked by Asiatic cholera, of whom 25 died, and 110 attacked by English cholera, of whom four only died. The townships attacked during the past week are— Bostock, Mow Cop, Moulton, Northwich, Over, Stan thorn., Wharton, and 'Wheelock. WINSFORD, FRIDAY Lrogarnto. The cholera is assuming a serious aspect here. There were outbreaks in fresh quarters of the town this morning. Sixteen fatal cases have occurred since Saturday last, and between thirty and forty cases are now under treatment. MAC:DALIN COLLZOI SCHOOL, OXFORD, JULY 19. —Scholars elected : W. A. Pye, 13.

NATIONAL BM'S ASSOOIATION. Yesterday's proceeding; virtually closed the prize meeting of the National Rifle Association for the present year, for although a review of volunteers will take place to-day by the Duke of Cambridge, that body will be com posed mainly of persons who, with few exceptions, have taken no part in the proceedings of Wimbledon, or fired • single shot for any of the prizes that have been offered for competition. As the meeting is now brought to a class we may observe that altogether it is one of the mast, if not the most, successful that has taken place since the Na tional Rifle Association was first established. The weather has been remarkably fine throughout. The Queen's prizes bad more competitors than ever, and the funds must have received a very substantial addition. Nearly everything has progressed satisfactorily, hardly a bitch having oc curred in any of the arrangements, and some very useful hints have been obtained, which may be usefully worked out in the future. Last evening there was again another illu mination of the camp. The last post Mulsounded.when there wag an slam of fire given, and a general turn out ensued. It seemed that the upper pert of one of the sails of the Windmill had taken fire. The Surrey Volun teer Fire Brigade, on the ground, were soon on the alert, and they quickly extinguished the fire, which appeared to have been caused by the discharge of fireworks, and some of the falling door had remained until the heat generated had been puffed by the wind into a flame. The business of this day consisted of the following competitions. The Henry Peek Prise, 521. 10a., given by Henry Peek, of Wimbledon House, restricted to winners of Enfield rifle prizes during the meeting, five shots each at 500, and seven each at 600 yards ; the Ladies Consola tion Prizes, for those who have not won a prize at the pre sent meeting ; Swiss Canton Prizes ; the Dudley Prize, being a cup, or money, to the value of 50t, restricted to the winners of "any rifle" prize during the present meeting; the Rigby Prize, for military breech-loaders, and a match between members of the Houses of Lords and Commons. There was also the usual running deer, running man, ka. Soon after ten o'clock in the morning the Duke of Cam bridge came down to the common for the purpose of seeing the practice which was being made with breech-loaders for Mr. Rigby's prize, and he minutely examined every rifle. The rifles used on the occasion were the Henry, the Spencer repeater, the Remington, the Westley Richer* Burden's the Mont-Storm, the Snider, and some others. Be remained for an hour and a half, and then left, having rather favourably expressed himself as to the merits of the Henry rile. The Henry rifle was fired for accuracy by Mr. Edward Roes at 200 yards, and he scored 22 points out of 28 per rifle, being 4 under the score made yestesday by Mr. Farquharson, of Perthshire. Mr. Boner, of Forfar, used a Spencer rifle, and made 15 points 1 at 200 yards ; Mr. Peterkin, with a Spencer repeater, in ' 36 shots in three minutes made 97 points being 8 below the score made by Serjeant Brookes, of the 12th Middle sex, yesterday. Mr. Kerr, with a Remington rifle made 47 shots in three minutes, but a comparatively small score. The Lords and Commons match was the next matter, but it was of insignificance when compared with former years. Last year it was set aside in consequence of the general election that was going on at the time, the members being dispersed all over the kingdom, and this year the two branches of the legislature were only represented by four members on eaeh side. This number is certainly not very complimentary to either the Lords or Commons, consider ing that eleven on each side were readily obtained on every former cocasion. The House of Lords were this year re presented by Earl Spencer, Earl Dude, the Earl of Den bigh, sad Lord Bolton ; the Commons by Lord Etch°, Earl Grosvenor , Mr. Michael Arthur Bass, and Mr. Malcolm. The ranges were 200 and 500 yards, ten shots each. The shooting throughout was excellent, and although Mr. Bass made • meat extraordinary score at 500 yards of 9 bull's-eyes and 1 centre out of 10 shots, he was not so well supported by his colleagues, and the remit gave the House of Lords the victory. The Lords made 140 marks at 200 yards, and 138 at 500 yards-.making a total of 278; whilst the Commons, at SOO yards, made 129, and at 50 0 yards Il s —giving a total of 284. So that the Lords won by 14 points. It is stated that the Princess of Wales will distribute the prizes at four o'clock this afternoon, and that the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh will be present at the review. The ammunition tent was in charge of Ser geant Robert Taylor, of the Royal Artillery ; sad the ammunition sold was as follows, each box containing 429 rounds :—On July 9, 22 boxes ; 10th, 61 ; 11th, 64 ; 12th, 53 ;13th, 54 ; 14th, 38 ; 18th, 89 ; 17th, 22 ; 18th, 19 ; 19th, 14 ; and 20th 19 ; making • total receipt from this sour° e alone of 4451. 10s. PRESENTATION Or vanes.. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales having graci ously signified ber intention of presenting the prises wca during the late competition to the successful competitors, this ceremony is expected to take place to-day between 3 and 4 o'clock. The review is fixed to commence at 6 o'clock, with a view of affording additional time for volun teers to join the ranks, who, at an earlier hour, might not be disengaged. In the evening their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Phase of Edin burgh, and the Duke of Cambridge will probably be the guests of Lord Spencer end Lord Eloho. After dark the lamp will be brilliantly illuminated. CRYSTAL PALACE. - thril simanta DAY.— FRIDAY, JULY 20.—Admiationa on payment, 2,912 ; ditto by meson tickets, 1,373. Total Tinton, 4,285. ..
