Richards, omnected with the Peace Society, was adopted, at a meeting: on Thursday night, by the nonconformists of this borough u their candidate. Mr. Richards is the fourth liberal candidate announced for the vacant seat. ICADFORM MEETING AT BIRAIINcHAM.—An open air meeting, convened by the Reform League, was held in litruaingham on Saturday evening to con sider the Lords' amendments to the Reform Bill. Mr. J. S. Wright presided, and there were about 1,000 persons present. Alderman Hawke' moved the estop. Dun of the following petition to t h e House of Com ir.ons:—" To the Hon. the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in parliament assembled. The humble petition of the inhabitants of Birmingham showeth, That your petitioners learn with feelings of the deepest disap pointment that mveralaltemtions have been made by the House of Peers in the bill recently passed by your hon. house to amend the representation of the people in parlia went. That the provision now limited therein, depriving the electors of some of the most importaat constituencies of the right to vote for as many candidates as there are seats to be filled, is in your petitioners' opinion • revo lutionary measure, the principle of which is entirely mdivereive of the consititutienal rule that the commons : obeli choose their representatives by a majority of voices ; ; and your petitioners emphatically and indignantly pro ' test against this novel and injurious experiment being tried in this borough. That the restriction of the lodger franchise to a 151. annual value is calculated to frustrate the main object of the enactment, that, namely, which gives the right of voting to the artisan class who rest apartments. That the clause authorising votes to be given by voting papers will, in the opinion of your petitioners, afford endless facilities for the practice of fraud and in timidatidd. Your peeitienese, therefure, humbly pray that your honourable house will refine to agree to tee Loris' amendments; and that, in ease those amendments be adopted, that your honourable bowie will reject the bill. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c." Mr. J. A. Part ridge seconded its adoption, which was sup meted by the Rev. A. O'Neil, ant carried unanimously. THE Baronet Hitt.—The Sainday Casette says : "From what can be gathered of the feelings of the House of Conamons, it is probable that of the three great changes made by the Lords in the Reform Bill, those raising the ; lodger franchise qualification and establishing voting papers will be rejected, cad that relating to the three cornered constituencies will be adopted. An urgent whip' is out for Thursday, the Nth instant, when the bill, as amended, will come to be considered. The discus- I sion will, no doubt, extend to the following day. Large ' numbers of members have left town, and not a few have paired till the prorogation, under the impression that the more serious business of the session bad concluded with the third reading of the Reform Bill. It is stated, and we believe with some reason, that, in order to obtain an at tendance suitable to the importance of the question in volved in the Lords' amendment, a all of the hum* will be made. A call of the house may be made at one day's notice, but the custom has been to allow • convenient in terval, • week at least, to elapse between the order and the cull. The order directs that such members as are not pre sent shall be taken into the custody of the aerjeaut-at arum, but this is rarely done, anal when a member fails to attend without excuse, it has , been usual nerd, to order bun to attend on another day, or to s beer Ma name taken down.' Reasonable excuse,. are, however, admitted freely, and illness, either of the member or of one of Ms family, the death of a relation, public duties, or absence from tie kingdom, have all been allowed. Pairs would not bold good in the case where one member atteuded and the other stood excused, or failed to attend ; for though members are booed to answer to their names, they are not obliged to vote, and a vote given under rich circum stances would be a breach of the honourable compact im plied in sitair." THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES AI.T. —Tho select committee of the Commons on the Nocleshastical Titles Act held its last meeting on Friday last with closed doors, in order to consider the report. Mr. M'Evoy, the chairman, proposed a report advising the repeal of the act, and Mr. Walpole proposed another in the opposite sense ; the original motion being cnrried by the casting vote of the chairman. The report was then taken in detail, with a division on each paragraph ; and finally it was affinned as a whole. On each division the conservatives all voter! on one side, the liberals on the other, and in every instance it was the casting vote of the chairman ivhich carried the point. Mr. the Irish Attorney-General, was absent. The report concludes in these words:—" Your committee are of opinion that, by adopting, for purposes of legal description, certain modes et designation such as have been already used or accepted by Ins Majeaty's government in celonies or pos. sessions of the crown in which Russian catholic hierarchies exist, all inconvenience in nmpect to the titles mf the bishops of the established church of England and Ireland may be avoided, and a useless cause of initation be removed. Finally, upon a full review of the evidence, your committee are of opinion that the repeal of the act, and of the section refei red to their consialeratiota, will in no way enable the hierarchy of the Itomaii edholic church to assume any civil or temporal pen:dente ot authority within the realm, or cause any detnment or inconvenience to the state or to any class of her Majesty's subjects." BRITISH ARCH.HOLOOICAL ASSOCIATION.-- Leo- Low, SATURDAY.—This association brought its annual con gress here to a clove to-night, although a supplementary gathering is to take place next week at Wroxeter for the purpose of visiting the excavated remains of the ancient Roman city of l'riconium. At last night's meeting an interesting paper was read by the Rev. G. F. Townsend on medieval instruments of torture. Mr. G. IL Wright, F.S.A., next read • paper on Sir Philip Sidney in his relation with Ludlow Castle. A discussion followed. Mr. Blasbell having made some remarks on certain figures carved upon the door or the lintel of Stottenlon various theories were advanced as to the origin of such reversed figures, which appeared in more places than one. The meeting broke up soon after ten p.m. The last excursion today was modly as miter:l4ms as those which had preceded it, and, moreover, its enjoyment was somewhat dashed by a sprinkling of rain. Stanton, Lacy, and Diddlebury churches were visited, and at Stokesay Castle the Rev. .1. De La Touche pointed out its interesting features, which he hail already fully described in a paper read on Wednesday night. Bromfield church and abbey were subsequently visited, and Lady Mary Clive entertained the party Oaldey.park. In the evening, ou the return of the party to Ludlow, short papers were read by the Rev. Prebendary H. M. Swarth, on " Roman Diners connected with Wades," and by Mr. T. Illashell, on the " Half-tinitered Houses of Ludlow." The usual votes of thanks were then passed to the mayor and corporation of Ludlow, the entertainers of th e archmlogista, and the majority of the party signified their intention to meet against Friconium.

PARIS, AUGUST 3, EVENING. M. Router, . the Minister of State, leaves on Monday morning for Carlsbad, where he will stay about 25 days. The preparations for the budget of 1859 have already commenced in several of the ministerial departments. The Coustitutionnd of this evening confirms the intelligence that the Emperor and Empress of the French will leave for Saltzburg on the 16th, and that they will stay three days with the Austrian Imperial family. The visit is to be strictly incognito. The statement that the Emperor and Empress will be accompanied to Saltzburg by the Marquis de Dloustier, Minister for Foreign Affairs, is believed to be incorrect. PARIS, AUGUST 4, EVENING. The Prince Imperial is expected to return to Paris this evening. The Emperor has received the foreign oomnussioners of the Paris Exhibition. Replying to their address his Majesty said, " Like you, we shall ever remember with pleasure this ureat international festival. As representatives of the principle of labour in all parts of the universe, you have been able to acquire the con viction that all civilised nations now tend to form a single family. I thank you for the wishes you express for the Empress and my son. They also share my gratitude for your exertions, my sympathy fur your persons, and my wishes for the peace of the world." The Emperor's speech was received with loud marks of approbation. The King and Queen of Portugal will not take their departure until the 13th inst. The l'atrie of this evening, commenting upon a recent article published by the Correepotakinee de BediN, says :—" It is a calumny to allege that France, after advacing too far, drew back before the impression which her first demands produced in Germany. Our country is in too lofty a position to be reached by insult. We are convinced that the Prussian government will be anxious to do no leas than France, in order to secure the triumph of pacific ideas." The Freare of this evening pub lishes an article, in which it says :—" We must refuse to believe that Signor Rattazzi will make concessions to the extreme parties, and recall Ca valier de Nigra, the Italian minister at this court." FRANCE. THE FRENCH CLAIMS ON MEXICO. PARIS, Auuctre 4. . . A decree has been issued to-day, (13ted the 10th of July, appointing a special honorary commission, in connexion with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to proceed to the revision of the provisional settle ment of the French claims upon Mexico concluded in the Mexican capital, and also to distribute the amount in hand among those entitled to indemni fication. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, ACCUKT 3, ECZNING. Count Bismarck will return here from Ems on the evening of the 6th inst. Count von der Goltz, the Prussian Minister at Paris, will stay at Ems while Count Bismarck is there. The Ojficial Gazette of today says :—"The statement of the North German Gazette, that Herr von Savigny would not take part in the labours of the Federal Council, in consequence of a misunderstanding with the govern ment, is erroneous." The conferences between the government and the Hanoverian notables close to-day. The latter are believed to have expressed their satisfaction with the result of the negotiations, and are said to have agreed to a proposal to establish a general commission at Hanover for regulating the relations between landowners and peasants. A council of ministers was held here to-day, and a cabinet order has been issued ordering plans to be made for the foundation of a war port near Elberbeck, in the Bay of Kiel, together with an establishment forthe constructionot armaments. Doctor August Boeckh died early this morning, at the age of 83. HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Araryrr The representation of Austrian interests in this city by the English Minister, Mr. John Ward, having ceased at the latter's request, the Austrian government has nominated Consul-General Cheva lier Westenholz as chief of the Austrian Legation for the Hansa towns. AUSTRIA. VIN\A, Aucusr 3. It is stated that Austria is prepared to join the International Monetary Union, and that negotia tions for that purpose are shortly to be opened at Paris. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Aram 3. The statement published by some journals that the French government had endeavoured to pre vent the entry of Bavaria into the new Zollverein has been denied. All that France has done in the matter was to express her disapproval of the pro posed step in a despatch addressed to the French minister at this court, by whom the contents were communicated to Prince Hohenlohe. EMS, AUGUST 3. Prince von Hohenlohe, the Bavarian Premier, arrived here yesterday. ITALY. FLORENCE, Arorirr 4. The Chevalier di Niura, the Italian Minister in Paris, has gone to Venice. The Opitanne dis credits the report that he is to be replaced in his post at the French capital. Intelligence received here from Rome states that the cholera has some what decreased in that city, but has broken out with great virulence at Frosinone: and several villages in the mountains. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE. Acourrr 2. The Grand Vizier has started for Rustchuk, to meet the Sultan. Immense preparations are being made for his Majesty's reception. A great fire occurred here yesterday, destroying the old offices of the minigtry of finance, with many valuable papers. Seventeen persons arrested on account of the last conspiracy have been exiled to the interior. The American frigate Sacramento, bound for Calcutta, was wrecked on tha 21st ultimo at Maaun tippa (1 Masulipatam). AU lives were saved. The cholera in the north western provinces of the Punjaub has nearly disappeared. During the four months ending with May the mails from London to Calcutta took on an average 20 days. The weather is cool. BOMBAY, JULY 9. The Bombay government has now spoken so strongly in favour of the reconstruction of the Bombay Bank as virtually to render an amalgama tion with the Bank of Bengal impossible. The ship Bombay has gone ashore in Bombay harbour, and become a total wreck. All the cargo will probably be recovered. A frightful accident has happened on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, near Bhosawul. The train was precipitated into the Suttee River, a tributary of the Japter. Thirteen persons are re ported killed and twenty injured, and a large num ber are still unaccounted for. The government has ordered an official investigation into the matter. The latest intelligence from Afghanistan repre sents the rival Ameers to be preparing their forces for a battle near Cabul, which apparently cannot much longer be delayed. The state of the public health is still satisfactory. JAPAN. HONG KONG, Jut• 12. Intelligence received here fnmi Japan announces that the English settlement at Nagasaki has been damaged by a severe storm (PROM OUR OWN coaßEsposolarr.) PARIS, S %Tr RDAY EVEVINC. (lIT ATLANTIC The elections for a third of the Councils-General take place to-morrow. The opposition journals complain of the want of activity of the liberal party. I expect, however that more independent candidates will be elected than on any previous occasion. The two most salient pieces of electoral news at present known are, first, that Admiral Rigault Genouilly, the Minister of Marine, has come forward at the maritime port Of Rochfort against the popular candidate, M. Bethmont, who is a member of the Corps Legislatif for the same district ; and M. Bethmont, thinking this not fair warfare, has retired on the ground that "if liberalism is the honour of Roch fort, the patronage of the Minister of Ma rine is its life, and he will not be a party to placing the constituency which he loves in a cruel alternative." Secondly, that at Lyons, where the opposition is known to be strong, the government at the last moment (only two days ago), with that shameless contempt for fair play in which it revels and glories, has remodelled the electoral districts, so that no elector knows exactly to what poll ho belongs, and has only two days to find out ; and the opposition has only two days in which to fix upon candidates, while the govern ment, which has worked in secret, is quite ready to take the field. Six journeymen tailors who took a leading part in the serious strike of March last were tried yes terday by the Correctional Police for having be longed to a society of more than twenty persons without authorisation. The prosecution originally embraced many other grounds, but the law officers were ultimately of opinion that all the proceedings of the prisoners, except the one on which it was at last resolved to frame an indictment, were justi fied by the new law on coalitions of 1864. Advo cate-General Lepelletier said that the prisoners, in order to keep up the strike had falsely given out that they had received 20,01j0f. from sympathizing English workmen, whereas in point of fact the utmost they had got from England was 750 f. The prisoners said they did not think to do any harm ; their object was to keep up the dignity of man—a phrase which drew from the judge (Presi dent Delesvaux) the facetious observation : " The dignity of man as a journeyman tailor." MM. Floquet, Picard, Arago, and Durier defended the prisoners. They could scarcely deny that the association, to which the prisoners admitted up wards of 2,000 persons belonged, was one not allowed by law; but they argued that it was but inchoate, as the whole thing broke up before there was time for the statute to be acted upon, and moreover that the act under which the indict ment was drawn ought to be repealed if the law permitting coalitions was to re ceive its full effect. The court found the prisoners guilty, but with extenuating circum stances' and sentenced them to fines of 500 francs each. There is no doubt that the two thousand will subscribe the money, and but for that conside ration I do not think the judges would have mulcted working men in so high nn amount.

Petroleum, standard white, all. NEW YORK, JULY 24. Congress has adjourned in some haste. The I weather was very hot, and the hotels in Washington very uncomfortable, and everybody wanted to be at home, so that the business which had called them together once done, it was impossible to keep a quorum fur the transaction of business. Members began to steal away in spite of the efforts of the extreme radicals to close up the ranks. The impeachers on the last day made • supreme effort to get their evidence, or a report, or some thing, before the house, but it was all in vain. Their champion was on the floor, making a motion in their interest, when the Speaker's hammer fell, an nouncing that the hour fur adjournment had come, and in a few minutes the house was empty. Before this lame and impotent conclusion had been reached, however, there was an interesting squabble between the members of the Judiciary Committee, in which charges of treachery, and chicane, and divers cognate vices, were freely interchanged, and, to crown all, Mr. Stevens declared himself so dis gusted with the whole subject of impeachment, that he wished he might never hear it mentioned again. in the Senate there was a little " mill" be tween Messrs. Chandler and Fessenden, the one representing for the nonce the conservative, and the other the radical wing of the republican party, and each being thoroughly dissatisfied with the other's performances on all possible occasions during the session. Mr. Fessenden is a precise, cautious, steady-going New England lawyer ; Mr. Chandler, a wild, " self-made man," from Michi gan, with little or no education of any kind, and in fact no qualification for his position beyond thorough-going radicalism. To him and Mr. Sumner, whose minds work in a gear so loose and disorderly, that their appearance on their legs seems to irritate Mr. Fessenden intensely, he has been a severe, and even harsh critic, and has often given Mr. Sumner, who is patience and good-temper incarnate, rather a rough handling. The Speaker, Mr. Colfax, was serenaded in the evening, and made a speech from his window, which was an admirable summary of the history of the whole quarrel between Congress and the Presi dent, and put in a veryclear light, and in a very few words, what Congress has done. The great recon struction job, as far as it is concerned, may now be said to be complete. There is no longer room for any possible misconstruction of the act ; the military officers are armed with full power, the duties of the registrars are more strictly de- fined, and their powers enlarged, and the South is given clearly to understand that there is no escape —that she must either come into the Union through the door now opened, hateful as it may be, or stay out under the sword. We have had during the last two months very few expressions of opinion from the Southern press. Those who speak of the political situation at all recommend submission ; others only allude to it occasionally, and always with some expression of despair. During the recent college " commencement" at New Haven, some of the old Southern students returned to the reunions of their classes, the members of which, or as many as can make it con venient, meet every ten years, after taking their degree. Yule College was, until about ten years ago, a great resort of Southern youths. It was orthodox, which Harvard was not, and Connecticut did not become an anti-slavery stronghold till long after Massachusetts had gone over to the enemy, so that Southerners con tinued to send their sons to Yule for years after Harvard had become a name of horror. After the election of 1856, and the excitement attending the Kansas affair, the Southern students, however, began to fall off, and when the war broke out there were only one or two in the college. During the recent commencement exercises, as I have said, a few have wandered back to attend their " class meetings," and amongst them a gentleman who occupied an official position in the Confederate government, which gave him a closer view of what are called in the newspapers here " the inside workings of the rebellion," than all butone or two other persons could boast. He has since, like General Lee, become a professor in a Southern college, and is a man of a calm and philosophic turn of mind, who, while a Southerner to the core (his father was one of the ablest Southern generals, and fell in the antis of victory), yet has never indulged in any of the common Southern illusions about the future of slavery, or its economic value, or, in fact, on any other sub ject except the possibility of the success of the Confederacy. He was asked by some of his old friends during his stay at New Haven what his feelings, and those of men like him, were as to the prospects of the South. He replied that they were in utter darkness, and knew not what was coming ; the hope of a separate nationality was, he said, for ever gone. Nobody entertained it ; no man of intelligence spoke of it without scouting it. The South was irretrievably beaten, and her condition could not be worse than it is, in his opinion, economically or politically con sidered. How a revival could take place with the negroes admitted to the suffrage he did not well see ; but about the future he said that he and his friends avoided speculating. They were devoting themselves to the work of education, as the work which, come what would,was sure not to be wasted, and about all things else gave themselves no thought. His tone was, however, on the whole sad and despondent, as might be expected in the case of menwho had staked so much and lost. But, never theless, there is in the tone of the best Southerners, as well as in the course they are pursuing, much to admire. As far as I can learn they indulge in no vain regrets, and, as I have said, in no illusions, and are working hard t, retrieve their fortunes. In fact, the etlect of their misfortunes has been to quicken their industrial energy and wean them t from politics; a not uncommon result of great social and political convulsions, it is true, and one which was witnessed in France after the events of 1848- 49, but I doult if it was ever witnessed in ono feels that it is the practical good munity. Some of done more than oth4 of Northern ideas, and amongst them, as I have more than once told you, Genbral Lengstreet, who has, in fact, made no secret either of his desire or intention—it is hard to say 'which—to act with the radical party at the South, his enemies say with the hope of going to the United States Senate from Louisiana whenever the work of ranonstruction is complete. He is accordingly undergoing a vigorous bombardment from the more violent of the Southern papers, which, amusingly enough, now begin to doubt whether he was of much value in the war. In fact some of them talk of him as a military mar plot. The truth is, of course, that from nobody did the Confederacy get. more efficient service., He was not lucky in his independent enterprises ; but as Leo's lieutenant he was everything a lieutenant could be. Mr. Johnson's organ, the Washington Int , lli-1 ycncer, for many years under its former proprietor one of the calmest, most judicial-minded, and re liable of the newspapers, but now ono of th9nost blatant ranters of them all, announces in earnest, language his intention of executing the act to the beat of his skill and ability. He has given up corn pletely the theory which he held at one time, that he was charged to a certain extent with the duty of seeing that Congressional legislation was consti tutional, and of obstructing it if it was not, rind that he was entitled to a policy of his own, and to carry it out as far as his metros allowed him, whether Congress liked it or not. In fact, his mental confusion as to his own place in the govern ment seems to have entirely disappeared. He now ackncwledges that Congress is the law-making power, and that if it abuses this power, there is in reality no remedy except an appeal to the ma; jority at the polls, and that his business is to carry into execution any laws that are sent him; whether he likes them or not, and in fact that he is a very much less important person than ho thought he was a yet ago. The last bill has placed substantially the whole control of the reconstruction' movement in the hands of General Grant, who now alone has power to remove the mili tary commanders, or in any way interfere with them in the discharge of their duties. This the President considers an unconstitutional interfer ence with his prerogative, and perhaps it is ; but what help is there for it t There has been a good deal of guessing as to Grant's political opinions,' and his great reticence made it very difficult for a long while, even for enterprising newspaper corre spondents, to get at them ; butthey were brotight out very fully in his examination before the Judiciary Committee the other day. He declared himself frankly and fairly in favour of the policy of Con gress, and expressed his strung desire to see it carried out, while he at the same time was, of course, anxious to have the South released from military control at the earliest possible moment. This declaration of his opinions, combined with the general confidence in his character, will, I have very little doubt, in the absence of some very unlooked-for change in the meantime, procure for him the re publican nomination for the presidency. It is quite, true that, as a general rule, the more a man is calked of for the nomination beforehand the leas chance I there is of his getting it, inasmuch as the mere fact of aman'sbeingmuch talked of proves that he is a very , prominent politician, and therefore has many enemies as well as many friends, and is likely to be as strongly opposed as supported, even in the ranks of his own party. But General Grant is not a politician, and has no enemies in the political arena, and his military fame is so great and his services so brilliant, that nobody of any party, ex cept Wendell Phillips, ventures to decry him. Wendell Phillips abuses him roundly, but, as well as I can snake out, it is for not executing some kind of coup &Rut against Johnson, and taking the executive power into his own hands—apiece of neg lect which, however, is hardly likely to tell strongly against him in the eyes of the public, for whom his silence, his modesty, and his shrinking from all assumption, constitute his principal attraction. The democrats, of course, do not like him. His success has been the ruin of their party, and the cause which ho vindicated has always been detestable to them ; but they have never ventured to attack him. At one time his persistent silence, and abstinence from all participation in political gatherings, led some of the democratic papers to hope that ho was perhaps secretly hostile to Con gress and its policy, and the result was some months of eulogy. Even now, when the delusion is exploded, pro bably none of their papers or orators will venture to speak disrespectfully of him, and if the repub lican party should nominate him, I think it is very doubtful whether the democrats would "run" anybody in opposition to him. Of course, letting a presidential election go by default, as it is called, would be a formal confession that the party had ceased to exist ; but the fact is that it has ceased to exist for all practical purposes. The only hope of its revival after the war was over lay in the chance that the South would once more unite with it, as in the olden time ; but that hope has, I believe, vanished. The bond between it and the South appears to be completely broken, and whatever po sition Southern politicians may assume when they come back into the Union, it seems certain that they will net take their places in the old demo cratic ranks. They feel not only that the Northern democrats betrayed them, but that they are so weak that their alliance is not worth having.

They exonerate Sir Cecil Beadon and the officers in the famine districts, from any serious blame, and attribute the calamity to una voidable circumstances, to the peculiarities of the administration in the lower provinces of Bengal, and to the errors of some individual officers. The report, reviewing all the circumstances, considers that under no system could the famine have been met by adequate measures of relief, and that much suffering and mortality were inevitable. Accounts from Orissa state that the distress is increasing, and that large numbers of persons are arriving at the relief centres. The license tax as amended is being vigorously levied. The Chamber of Commerce has addressed a letter to the Viceroy, asserting the willingness of the Indian public to pay reasonable imposts, and recommending a succession duty, a tobacco duty, and an equalisation and slight increase of the salt tat. The government has censured some officers connected with the rumour of a rising at Meerut, and instructed the telegraph authorities not to transmit messages likely to create alarm without referring to the chief military or civil officer at the place of despatch. 1..k.t • m 11 tit I: let ..1. 1 10'11 lyt~•n Ls tint .1. 11111'1,1 ICM ih r e~l:q, u~l •~• hY.Ip 11,14 I , a frw , 111211 [ al 4 nd nn t it an t our to, of rood.. no: o. rc ••m • It i, fill rt. ail ;'~, NI artil tl h of' rrh.
