NUM WATER AT LONDON BRIDGL TEDI DAT —Morning. 46. 58•1 Afternoon, 10h. Us. TO-111011011—Murulai, 11h. Itai Aneruoce, lA. 4bn. LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10. Ora Liberal friends over the water take so kind and warn, an interest in our parliamentary reform, I that it would be most ungracious to abstain from I reciprocating the sympathy, and remarking from time to time what progress our neighbours have made in working their way out of that arbitrary and repressive system which they have suffered for nearly sixteen years to something like a rational and civilized condition of responsible freedom and independence. Some writers, who look at every thing foreign through a magnifying glass, are apt to exaggerate the importance of political changes in old countries. Perhaps it is rather a favourite habit with French democratic writers to forget that England had made her great revolution, exhausted her pretenders to the throne, traversed all known phases of legitimate and illegitimate government, of armed resistance, of blind reaction, of destruc tive change, of deceitful restoration, of luxurious degeneracy, of vigorous renewal and persistent consolidation of public liberties, a century before France convulsed the world with the throes of her new birth. They are apt to worship their own Revolution of 'B9 as the grand charter of mankind, in blessed ignorance of the fact that all the doctrines of their revolutionary legislators had been long anticipated by English political philosophy. Having sacrificed their revolution to military conquests, their constitutional monarchy to selfish and corrupting monopolies, their self-ruling commonwealth to a solitary will, having descendiA from a privileged con- Ot t - 16 nel a 4; fillmter u * suffrage at a bound, and established personal government on the broadest basis, they are good enough to assure themselves that England, without a single analogous characteristic in her history, or in the genius of her institutions, or in the tempera ment of her people, will go violently down the steep of democracy into the sea of anarchy or des potism, because once in five-and-thirty years half a million, more or less, of intelligent and inde pendent non-electors are added to the constitu encies. M. Pezvoirr-Partaeoi is one of those alarmed and disinterested admirers who, from the heights of a desdrinaiie Pisgah, strain their gaze on that Plate milieu of a limited mon archy which is a perpetual mirage to the disin herited children of the Revolution of 1830. There is something almost pathetic in M. PREVOST PARADOL'S enthusiasm for the principle of mino rities in our new Reform Bill. Most English Liberals object to the principle, for this, among many other reasons ; that the minority of wealth is already over-represented by its pocket boroughs and its nomination counties, while the minority of intellect can always make the practical energy, not the epicurean dilettantism, of its convic tions felt through the majority of the largest constituencies in the country. But our ingenious French sympathiser—who can blame him for desiring the representation of minorities? Whilst he is writing about England he is sadly regarding a country in which universal suffrage is administered by half a million of functionaries moving like a single puppet at the touch of a Minister's hand in Paris—of electoral districts which are liable to be shifted by a Prefect on the very eve of an election, to prevent Liberals from acting in concert ; he is thinking of a country in which the majority of the electors, except in the largest and most important centres, are inevitably represented by the nominee of the Administration, and the minority by a candidate who cannot get his voting papers printed, or his address to the electors stuck upon a wall, or hold a meeting, or even form a committee of his supporters. No wonder 31. PREVORT-PARADOL sighs for the repre sentation of minorities in a country where, if minorities were represented in the Corps lAgia latif, the independent Opposition, instead of con sisting of some twenty-five members, would count at least one member for every considerable intellectual, commercial, and industrial centre in the Empire. The representation of minorities in Franco might have saved the Second Empire front its worst calamities and mistakes. But we beg M. Pnevierr-Partanot to remember that under th e Monarchy of July the entire electoral system wax an unadulterated representation of minorities --of minorities which collectively amounted to sonictliiiig like 250,000 electors. It would be pain ful to remind M. Pasvosv-Pssanox of the result of that remarkable example of his favourite principle in full operation. We leave to him to admire at his leisure the cause of that cata strophe ; he cannot regret more bitterly than we do its effect. We would rather congratulate him and all who look anxiously to the future of the Liberal cause in France upon the results of the recent elections for the Councils-General of the Departments. Unless we are greatly mistaken, these elections indicate a revival of public spirit beyond all ex pectation. Let the semi-official journals rejoice if they will over the indisputably large, the very large, majority of Government candidates re turned. The Comitififtionnel will delude very few people in France as to the relative value and significance of these elections. It will delude no one out of France. Disinterested and dispassionate observers abroad will fix their atten tion upon the mmHg of the contests in the great centres of intelligence and industry ; not in holes and corners where local influences are paramount, and the promise of a grant of public money acts like a spell upon a population who look upon a Sub-Prefect as a second Providence, and upon M. le Fillet as the personification on earth of the Supernal Powers. We look at such places as Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Dijon, Lille, Toulouse, Toulon, Avignon, Narbonne, and when we find there candidates of the Liberal opposition either victorious by largo majori ties, or holding their own with candidates of the Government, it is impossible to resist the conclu sion that the Mexican disaster has not crowned the edifice of fifteen years of personal government in vain. And believing as we do that the peace of Europe depends in a great degree on the reco very of freedom in France, we salute these triumphs of the French Liberal Opposition with a satisfaction only second to that with which we hail the prospect of a reformed Parliament at home. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times again rejoices over the conversion of ' the House of Commons to the principle of the represents tioa of minorities. Much to its surprise it has stood alone, and it sincerely regrets it, in its vindication of the prin ciples of representative government.—From the crowd of " innocents" which are waiting the annual massacre, the Times selects the Metropolis Traffic Regulation Bill as one on which the government ought to insist on passing before the prorogation. Alderman Lawrence has, however, given notice that he will move its rejection, and Mr. Labouchere will move that it be referred to a select committee. —A third article in the Times gives, from sonic papers which have been presented to parliament, the principal details of the story of the two Jews drowned at Galati. If such a crime as this, observes our contempo rary, escape punishment, the government of the P:incipal ities will speedily lose the favour with which Europe was inclined to look upon it. Discussing the present position of Parliament in regard to church rates, the Daily ?es expresses regret that the House of Lords did not take the opportunity offered them by Mr. Hardeastle's bill of settling nt once and for ever a very troublesome question, in the only manner in which a settlement can be permanent. If the power of compulsion were done away with, an end would be put to every prac tical grievance; but it might not affect the sentimental grievance, which the unfortunate delay of substantial justice, and the pretexts advanced for that delay, have awakened and fostered in the minds of many dissenters. That the power of levying church-rates is of any real use to the church, its position in towns and districts where they are not levied, and the example of the nonconformist denominations, make more than doubtful. Another article in the Daily News is devoted to a review of volume of lectures by Mr. Goldwin Smith, and to the many lessons which political men of both parties may draw from them. Although there was nothing in the Commons' debate, ands nothing in the Commons' " reasons," to alter the judgment which the Lords have formed as to the utility of voting papers, the Herald thinks there is something in the lateness of the season and the strength of the majority by which the Coulmons rejected the amendment to induce the House of Peers to abandon it. The &tendon! also says it is the evident duty of the Lords to yield, and it does not doubt that they will do so. The Star says the representation of minorities must be made the battle-ground of the mows, for in it lurks the utmost danger to liberty. To have the minority repre sented by the Peers, the minority represented by the county members while the people a the counties are ex cluded from the franchise, the minority represented by the small boroughs, and the minority insured a new represen tation in the great boroughs, is rather more than tte mt jority of the people of England can patiently stand. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, Reform this session has naturally wakened in count leas bosoms. The opponents of reform have had • hard and weary time of it lately. They have had every hope blighted one after another. All the checks and drawbacks on which they relied are gone. Now at last they have one triumph, and it seems as if this would reconcile them to their defeat. It is not perhaps to be regretted that an experiment, even if founded on • wrong principle, should be tried on a very small scale. when it conciliates the Lords, appeases the opponents of reform, and carries out the wishes of many reformers. No political party will lose or gain by it ; or if there is any I loss, it will not be on the liberal side. The question of most interest to Germany at the present moment, says the Chronicle, is the approaching interview at Salzburg. The fact that such • visit should be paid is a species of diplomatic defeat for the Prussian government. It is easier, however, to recognise the possible importance of the meeting of the Emperors than to predict the combi nations which will ensue from it. Austria's interest in securing the support of France is obvious enough. She need, it especially against Russia, whose dealings with the Pan-Slavonic agitation are becoming increasingly dangerous to the unity of the Austrian empire. But France will no doubt set a high price on her aid, and it remains to be seen whether the friendly neutrality, which is all that it suits Austria's purpose to offer, will prove a sufficiently high bid. For the present Baron Bout's efforts will be directed, as in the case of Luxemburg, to the postpone ment of a Franco-Prussian war. elre Court. OSBORNE, Aeautrr 9. The Queen walked in the grounds yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Princess Louise and Princess Cambial ; and her Majesty walked this morning with ?rimless Louise. Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice also walked out. The Prince and Princess of Leiningen have left Osborne. The Princess of Wales drove out yesterday afternoon, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Harding°, A Committee of the Lords of her Majesty's Moat Honourable Privy Council sat yesterday at the Privy Council-office, Whitehall, on the subject of the Cattle Plague. The lords present were the Lord IPresident and the Duke of Richmond. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial-office to the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, Sierra Leone, and Lagos. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Our weekly contemporaries generally regard the Reform Bill as passed. The Spectator observes that among the clauses of the bill is one intended to repay members for passing it by guaranteeing their seats for one more year. It provides that in cue of a dissolution before January 1, 180, it shall take place as if no alteration had been made in franchises or oonatituencies, thus protecting the house against a general election. No minister would dissolve in the face of a reform bill, in order that a perils ment should be elected without its operation ; and mem i bets, therefore, are safe for sixteen months. Moreover, Mr. Disraeli is ash too, because he can, if pressed, threaten members not only with a dissolution, but with two dissolutions in a twelvemonth—with a fine, that is, estimated at four millions sterling. A cooler attempt to make parliament independent of the nation and the ministry of parliament we do not remember, or a mere conspicuous proof of the effect which the inordi nate expense of elections has in depraving the tone of the House of Commons. They might almost as well have decreed that Mr. Disraeli's written order should have the force of an act of parliament. However, there are com pensations in all things. The interval will give the house holders time to recover from any fever fit of gratitude, and the ministry time to lose their new-born popularity. The Examiner remarks that as the minority clause will at first only be tried in eleven constituencies, we shall probably know a great deal more about its practical work ing after the next election th►n we know now. If it fails to realise the sanguine expectations of its supporters, there is no reason for its being carried further, and no likelihood of its being so ; and if on the contrary its de teriorating influence on the character of the representa tion is made practically apparent in Manchester and Birmingham, Berkshire and Bucks, it will not be easy for any government, however constituted, to beguile parliament into an extension of the system. The majorities by which the other suggestion, of the peers were negatived must on all hands be felt to be decisive. Upon the whole, we have a right to congratulate ourselves that the goal has at length been won. We naturally regret that the names on the back of the hard-fought bill which before many days will have become law should not have been those of the statesmen by whose advocacy of its principles, in season and out of season, its policy was rendered possible. But this is only the fortune of war—the honourable penalty which courageous and gene rous natures are frequently called on to pay for being ahead of their time. It was so with the repeal of the Test Act—it was so with Catholic Emancipation—it was so with the repeal of the Corn Law—it is so now. It will always be so while prudence is subordinate to patriotism in the minds of those whom the people delight to honour. _ . . . . The Saturday Rerkw regrets that the Rouse of Commons has yielded the representation of minorities; but its decision, even if wrong in itself, has present and temporary advantages. It ensures the plunge of the bill through the Lords, which is not saying much, for the Lards cannot really reject any provision in a Reform Bill on which the Commons are decided. But it further makes the bill almost palatable to those who dislike it in the country and in the Commons, and this is a good thing. It lessens the inevitable asperity which the triumphant career of MARRIAGE IN RION LIFE.-(THIS DAY.) This (Saturday)morning the marriage of Viscount Milton, M.P., ion of the Countess and Earl Fitzwilliam, K.G., F.R.G.S., with Hon.

The ceremony was p erformed by the Rev. P. Norman, M.A., rector of Bookaford, seal sted by the Rev. Henry Howarth, 8.D., rector. The bride was given away by her uncle, Sir Montague Cholmeley, in the presence of a distinguished circle. A grand dejesowr warn given by Sir Montague, at Belgrave-square, in the after noon. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales honoured the performances at the New Royal Amphi theatre and Circus, High Holborn, with his presence last evening. The Earl and Countess Russell have left town for Pembroke Lodge, Richmond-park, for the season. The marriage of Lady Georgians Adelaide Russell, his lordship's eldest daughter, to Mr. Archibald Peel, son of General the Right Hon. and Lady Alice Peel, will take place on Thurs day next, at Petersham Church. The noble Earl said Countess will entertain a numerous family circle at break fast on the occasion. Prince and Princess Vogoridea have arrived at the Turkish Embassy in Eryanston-square, from Con stantinople. Hie Excellency the Turkish Ambassador has taken Ellenborough House, Roehampton, when his excellency and family intend to pass the autumn. The Archbishop of Armagh and Mrs. Beresford have left town for the Continent. It is stated in military circles that Captain Jcn•is, whose case has been so recently before parliament, will be reinstated. Among the notices for " early next session" is one by Mr. Grant Duff " to call a tention to the report of her Majesty's commissioners upon the Inns of Court and Chancery, presented to this house in 1855 ; and to move, that in the opinion of this house, the four Inns of Court should be united in one university, which should be capable of giving to English law students a legal educa tion not lees complete than that which is given to French or German law students by kindred institutions in France and Germany." Next Thursday Alderman Lawrence will ask the Secretary to the Poor-law Board whether it is the inten tion of her Majesty's government to introduce a measure in the next session of parliament to compel those metro politan parishes not included in the Union Assessment Act to reassess the property in their areas in order that the rates payable to the common fund may be levied throughout the metropolis on a fair and equal basis. Mr. Laird on Monday will ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is the intention of her Majesty's government to recommend parliament to grant an in- creased allowance to the volunteer force, as, failing such increased allowance being made, many of those volunteer corps, which are composed principally of artisans, must be disbanded. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE BORDERS.—It has been announced that her Majesty the Queen and their Royal Highnesses Princesses Louise and Beatrice, at tended by the ladies and gentlemen of the court, will leave Windsor Castle on Tuesday night week by special train, rid Carlisle and the Waverley route, to Kelso station for Floors Castle, where ber Majesty is expected to arrive on Wednesday morning, the 2lst August, at about ten o'clock, and where she will remain until Satur day, when she will proceed to Balmoral. In Kelso experiments are being made to secure the success of the illuminations. On Tuesda , one of the ridges of the dome of the Town-hall was uminated by lights, for the purpose of judging the effect of carry ing out the design, which proved very successful. When viewed from a distance, the illumination was very striking and pleasing. Dr. Stevenson Macadam was in Kelso on Wednesday, and viewed the town from Floors Castle, and gave his opinion as to where the illuminations should take place. In addition to the Town-hall the abbey will be illuminated, this being done at the expense of the Duke of Ho:Minim. Along Tweed-side to the bridge paddle lights will be displayed at various points, and numerous private parties are making prepare lions for decorations a-d illuminations. We understand the Freemasons, the I )dd Fellows, and the Foresters will have a procession on the occasion. An address to her Majesty will in all likelihood be presented in the square, where upwards of 20,000 people could witness the inte resting ceremony. A curious feature in the programme is anticipated. A property situated in Kelso is held from the crown on condition that the proprietor presents a white rose to the sovereign on every occasion of a royal visit to Kelso, and this unusual rent charge will require to be paid on this occasion. It has been resolved by the police commissioners that no carts or other vehicles will be allowed in the streets on the morning of the 21st after nine o'clock, until the Queen passes through the town to Floors Castle.—SeMsnion.

THE DEATH OF QOEEN MARIE THERBRE Or NAPLE4.—Queen Marie Therne of Naples, who died on Thursday, at Rome, of cholera, was the daughter of the Archduke Charles, whose campaigns as leader of the Austrian army form so considerable a part of the history of the wan of the French Nevolution and the triumphs of Napoleon. She was born in 1816, and in the year 18J7 became the second wife of Ferdinand IL of Naples, to whom she bore five sons and four daughters. She became a widow is 1859, and continued to reside near Naples until the King, her step-son, was driven from the throne, when she, with the rest of the royal family, took up her residence in Rome. The first wife of the late King of Naples wan the daughter of Victor Emmanuel 1., King of Sardinia, and died just 15 days after having given birth to Francis 11., the es-King of Naples. One of the daughters of the Queen Dowager Marie The Ise is the second wife o f th e present Archduke Charles of Austria brother to the Em peror; another daughter is married to the Archduke Charles of Tuscany.

Needles are now chiefly made at Redditcb, in Worcestershire, Hathersage, in Derbyshire, and in and near Birmingham. Someitob. years ago 100,000,000 needles a week were made in Itedd 18671 EXPRESS FROM PARIS. trios sus elm PARIS, FRIDAY EVIIIING. The committee appointed to inquire into the question raised by M. Berryer in the last days of the session, whether M. Pinart and his associates do not still owe the state 28 millions of francs on their contract for the purchase of Mexican Bonds, consists of M. Allou, the bdtonnicr, M. Plocque, a past kitounier, M. Greasier, the standing counsel to the Treasury, and M. Gronalle, President of the Order of Advocates of the Court of Cessation. The composition of this committee is of good augury for the Treasury. The members of it are too good lawyers and men of too high character not to report conscientiously upon the facts. The much announced publication of a pacific note in the Prussian Moniteur appears to have re solved itself into an article in the semi-official North German Gazette, of which we have a resume to-day. The official organ of Berlin will probably reproduce it. The only upshot of it is that Prussia has no explanations to ask from France concerning the communication made by its diplomatic agent relative to Northern Schleswig, and that the com munication in question was not of a nature, "either by its form or its contents," to lead to any ulterior step on the part of Prussia. The Gazette does not doubt that the friendly sentiments with which Prussia and its government are animated will be reciprocated by France. All this really amounts to nothing so long as preparations for war are continued on both sides. It shows at most that M. Lefevre de B6haine, the French charg6 d'Affaires, made a false mo% e, and that while he is disavowed by his government, the Prussian court does not want to make his indiscretion a cause of quarrel. The prosecution of M. Vermorel, of the eau rrier Francais, and three of his staff, for a libel on the Csasagnac family, came on to-day, and was not concluded till a late hour. I have heard the result and must defer particulars till to-morrow. M. Vennorel is fined 200 fr., and the other defendants 50fr. each. The presiding judge said there were " very extenuating" circumstances. This no- minal sentence is a moral acquittal, because the French law not allowing proof of the truth of a libel the judges could not do otherwise than convict. A despatch from Madrid announced yesterday that several great commands had been suppressed from motives of economy. The true reason is that the general officers dismissed cannot be trusted, and are suspected of an intention to join in the next prontincidmento, which cannot be long coming. The Bourse was not so good to-day. Bente fell 120. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 35c. and 69fr. 324 c. Italian fell 30c., Credit Foncier 7fr. 50c., Mobilier 3fr. 75c., and Comptoir d'Escompte 3fr. 25c. The Beaminster (Dorset) District Church Choral Association held their festival last week, at which 130 choristers were present. The East Devon Choral Association held their annual festival at Ottery St. Mary last week. The muster of singers was 300. The North Devon Choral Union fes tival took place also last week at Bideford. The choir numbered 400. At Darlington, in Devon, a choral fes tival took place at the same time, at which 100 singers attended. The Rev. T. Keble, a nephew of the author of the " Christian Year," preached the sermon. THE Owes or THE Smonos.—Yesterday even ing at 5 o'clock the Commons' decision on the Lords' amendments were taken by the appointed members of the Lower House to the Lords. The reasons for disagreement with the amendments of the Upper House which had been refused were also handed in. These had been arranged in the morning by the committee appointed by the house. The Lords will take , then reasons into consideration on Monday ; after which, if they should disagree with them, they will be returned to the Com mons, and a conference will follow. It is, however, be lieved that the peers will accept the reasons. These steps necessitating delay, and the vote in supply leading to more discussion than was expected, it is now supposed that parliament will not separate before Tuesday, August 20, when it will be ed by commission. The ministerial whitebait dinner has been fixed for Wednesday, ' the 14th inst. The Queen's Speech will then be drafted, and agreed to at a Cabinet Council on Thursday. The Appropriation Act, it is not doubted, will be through both houses by Friday night next. THE LIBERALS AND THE VOTING PAPERS.—Lord Salisbury's interpolation of voting papers in the reform bill gave occasion for a rally of the liberal party which de serves a note of admiration. The summons of Mr. Glyn was answered with alacrity, and from the 238 who con demned these aids to corruption and intimidation, we have to deduct no more than seven tories. Voting papers were approved by only four liberals ; for, after all that has passed sir ce February, 1866, we can no longer bestow that title on Major Anson, Lord Arthur Clinton, Mr. Fort, Mr. Gilbert Hesthcote, Mr. Mainwaring, or Lord Elcho. They are gentlemen who have gone astray and found a home under the wings of Mr. Disraeli. The four liberals who approve of voting papers are Mr. Biddulph, Mr. Laing, Mr. Wyld, and Mr. Doulton—the claim of the last to the honour of standing in the liberal ranks being very equivocal. Abstracting these, we find that the party led by Mr. Glad stone showed a firm front, and succeeded in frustrating a mischievous design. Great credit is due to them, but some thing must be accorded to the management of the new "whip" who brought them together at so difficult • season. In many respects we may regard this as the most significant division of the year, and we are glad to see the liberals, at the close, standing better than they did at the opening of the session. Differences of opinion touching the repre sentation of minorities drew away a large number from the sound constitutional standard, saved the government, and satisfied the excited susceptibilities of the House of Peers. The division on that subject was not a party struggle. But that on voting papers was essentially dif. fereot, and afforded a good test of party unanimity.— Telegraph. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC GOSSIP. —A coming tenor, Mr. Varley, of Bradford, is announced in the Oreltrittra as one "of whom report s pea ks in the highest terms." Signor Mario, it is said, in ten ds to fall into the fashion of the hoar and the occupation which suits his powers, and meditates singing English ballads on an autumnal tour in England ere starting for St. Petersburg. It would seem from the Welsh newspapers that parochial choral festivals are coming into favour. One was given the other day by the Llandaff Diocesan Choral Amman tion, in which 32 voices, contributed by 12 choirs, took put. Everyone is to have a monument now-a-days. The Germans are conspiring to raise one to that empirical man of genius, the Abbe Vogler. A concert in commencement of a fund for the purpose was the other day given at Dann stadt with a good result. We read that the widow of Meyerbcer (one of Vogler's two distinguished pupils— Weber was the other) gracefully sent a liberal contribution to the fund. We hear that in the coarse of next month there will be a musical festival at Meiningem and on the Wartburg ; and that at the latter the Abbe Lisit's oratono of St. Eli:abetli will be produced. It is said that M. Rubinstein is about to write an opera on a French libretto for Paris. The Italian musical journals announce that Signor Federigo 'Ricci is engaged on a new opera buffs, which is, probably, to be entitled Don Chiarlaotte e San:io Panein —that Signora Dora has been singing, in Leek, at the San ' Carlo, Naples, with Signor Castelli, a tenor from whom much may be expected—that Signor Miceli has received a ' commission to write an opera on the taking story of Bel shazzar's Feast—that Signor Scbira is at work on a five-act opera. entitled Lea—and that Signor Bocoolini is to be looked to as a rising baritone.

Mdlle. de Murska, the meteoric, has flitted back to the Opera at Vienna. All manner of promisee are made by our contemporaries for M. Dumas the elder.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING. On Wednesday two young men, respectively named Finnemore and Pei deans, went on the rocks at Polxeath, Cornwall, for the purpose of bathing. They had hardly jumped into the water, which covered them to the waist, when a heavy wave took them both off their legs, and carried them out to sea. A festival was being held on the beach, mid it is estimated that 2,000 persons were present when the unfor tunate men were drowned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes palt 12 o'clock. SUPPLY. On the order of the day for the report on supply, Mr. B. HOPE rose to call attention to the prop removal of Canning's statue from it present position, A n d to the general arrangement. of Parliament-wit/sr.. After sneaking of his reluctance to do anythin g which might tend to wound private feelings, he rand be was glad to hear his noble friend the First Commission, of B orka intimate the other day that he was in favou r of leaving the statue where it was. He (Mr. B. H, 4 , 0 contended that the present position was in fact one of sb e beet that mould have been elected. The square in to w . of the Abbey wee exceedingly picturesque ; and the .p ot to which the statue was removed was anything ion back slum, while there was a monument near it *bun was a costly and magnificent work. If the statue were removed the perspective effect would be destroyvd and an impediment placed before the eye in looking dean Parliament•street, from Whitehall. A most attraeht,, piece of town gardening which Mr. Barry meant to carry out would thus be spoilt. He trusted his noble friend would enure the house that the integrity of the garden ground would be preserved, and Canning's statue not ro, moved from its present place. Colonel W. PATTEN said, although that question was not within his department, it happened that he had same knowledge of this particular subject. iie happened to know that the late Lord Canning said he had no objection personally to the removal of his father's statue. (Hes t , hear.) Iced ELCHO said if the statue were that of his fathe r he should be glad that it had been removed from its former position. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN observed that the Chard of St. Margaret spoilt the view of Westminster Abbey, and he hoped that that would be removed. Mr. J. LOCKE thought the status was very mach inv proved by the change of site, and among his friends bad beard no opinion to the contrary. Formerly the statu e did not appear a good one; now he considered it very fine. Mr. HENLEY doubted the propriety of the house being called upon to express a grave parliamentary opinion on such a question at a Saturday meeting to despatch seem. nary business. In its former position few members saw the statue at all on their way to the house, and a hundred people saw it now for one person who saw it before. Lord J. MANNERS, after observing that the quertion was put down yesterday under a special arrangement, hoped the question would not lead W a division betwe en the two houses of parliament. There could be no doubt, after what had been said, what was the predominant feel ing in that house, or that it was opposed to that in the the upper house. Without saying anything definite as to the permanent petition of the statue, he must my be con. sidereal the present position very superior to the former one. (Hear.) To the objection that there was no sunshine, be must reply that he had seen • whole stream of sunshine falling on the statue. If the great block of buildings be. tween Parliament-street and King-street were 111910 Mi there would be • vast improvement in the view. He would undertake that nothing should be done before nett session to prevent the removal of the statue to another site, (Hear, hear.) . . . . . . Mr. GREGORY was glad to hear the deckration that nothing final was to be done before next year. The discussion was continued by Colonel Sykes, Mr. Runt, Mr. D. Griffith, and Lord Echo. The report was then agreed to. AGRICULTURAL GANGS BILL The above bill, which came down from the Lords, was read a second time, after which the Naval Knights of Windsor BiU passed through committee. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill was brought in by Mr. Hunt, and read a first time. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock.

The unfortunate person who has thus met his untimely end was a young gentleman from Liverpool, earn.' Jelin Bennett, 21 years of age. It seems he only airivol at Rewires* in the afternoon of that day, having come tomcat a relative of his named Mr. Parkinson, alw was solo:arcing at Mr. Walker's Temperance Hotel. Shortly after his Uri. val and after taking some refreshment, he engaged a plea. sure boat from Mr. Walker, the bort, and went out fur sail upon the lake. Mr. Walker accompanied him, arslreeed for some distance, but when off the Ferry Nab, Mr. Beaten wanted to take a turn at the oars and while changiug Li? seat for that purpose he lost his balance rind was emits. tated into the water. The unfortunate gentleman, how ever, almost immediately caught hold of the esly of the boat and while in that position was told by Mr. A% Ail to keep fiat bold and as quiet as possible as meistance would be sure to be near at hand. But Mr. Bennett attempted to get into the boat and in his vain endeavours pulled it oe one side, likewise upsetting Mr. Walker into the lake. Both men then caught hold of the boat, andel - eel out 101.111 for attendance, but before any help arrived poor Mr. bra nett had sunk to rise no more. Mr. Walker was fortunately rescued, after being in the water as near as he could tea about three-quarters of an hour. News of the lanientAbli occurrence reached Bowneas too late for any attempt to be made to recover the body that evening ; however, by daylight neat morning, P.C. Greenbank, with a wan of boatmen, ?cc. proceeded to drag the lake, but it vii more than three hours before they recovered the boly. It was found between Cockshott Point and the Ferry Nab, almost opposite the Parsonage fields. The utast has cast quite a gloom over the otherwise lively bids village of Bowness. What snakes the accident still deplorable is the fact that the young gentleman 0,111 attended the funeral of his father and mother about months ago. An inquest was to be held by C. G.
