Their insertion is oft‘m delayed, owing to a press of matter ; and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde pendent of the merits of the communication. We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do not avail ourselves. Cemmunicatious should always be legibly written, and on one side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of finding space for them. Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith. Advertisements sent from the country must be ac companied by a remittance or a reference for payment in town. MMMIIMMINEF•IMPrw I : I ° II •°' THE PRESS: Lord L. RUSSELL stated that the vote would not I pledge the house to adopt the site in question. The plans for this new gallery were not in readiness, and must be laid before Parliament next year before the works could he commenced. Meanwhile the money would be well laid out in buying land, which could be sold at a large profit if not wanted for national purposes. On a division the vote was carrie d b y a majority of 189 to 48-121. On resuming, various bills were advanced a stage, and others postponed. Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in two bills for continuing the Commission of Sewers and the Board of Health for periods of one or two years respectively. , The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. THE INSURRECTION IN MADRID. The insurrection so long anticipated has at last broken out, but appears to be at present confined to the military class. The details that have been re ceived of the affair are very meagre and conflicting, as the postal communications with the Spanish capital are interrupted, and the intelligence which transpires consists of little beyond such telegraphic messages received in Paris as the French Govern. ment may think proper to publish in the Maniteur. It seems, however, that on Friday, the 30th of June, a considerable section of the Madrid garrison rose in revolt, amid shouts of " Long live the Queen !" " Death to the Ministers !" General O'Donnell, who had been condemned to exile, but remained concealed in Madrid, General Marino, and Brigadier Schague, are stated to have placed themselves at the head of the insurrectionists, who, to the number of four thousand, left the capital and took the road to Alcala. The Queen was absent on that day, but returned to Madrid on the morrow, and was received, accord ing to the report in the Moniteur, with loud acciama• Lions by the people. The latter, it was added, showed no sign of sympathy with the revolt. The Gazette on that day published a decree depriving the insur gent leaders of their titles and dignities, proclaim ing a state of siege, and appointing a military commission. The latest accounts are thus given in the lifoniteur : " Manua), July 4.—The rebels are stall at Aranjnez ; the column which is to attack them will leave to-morroiv. Reinforcements are arriving from all points. The greatest tranquillity prevails at Madrid and in the provinces. No sympathy is shown towards the rebellion. Some officers and soldiers have abandoned the insurgent ranks in order to make their submission to the Government. " July s.—Perfect tranquillity continues in this city. The insurgents, much discouraged, are everywhere retreat. ing before the royal troops who are pursuing them." A column of troops left Madrid soon after to dis lodge the insurgents, who had taken up a position between Forreiar and &kale. The result of encoun ters which are said to have since taken place is re presented as uniformly favourable to the Queen's troops. The Times, however, publishes a very differ ent story, on the authority of its tans correspondent. On the 30th, he states, " Madrid was much agitated. The insurgents, to the number of 4,000, were at the Campo del Mow, at about a gunshot from the palace. General Campuzano, Director of the Artillery, had refused to attack them, although pro. testing his fidelity to the Queen. General Lam had also refused, on the pretext that he could not rely on the gar- rison. " General O'Donnell was said to have summoned the Queen to change her Ministry. Unless she did so he threatened to attack the town the same evening. " Subsequent advices to the and instant state that Madrid is covered with barricades. The populace cried out, Death to Sartorius ! ' It was said that a part of the garrison had fraternised with the insurgents. The abdi cation of the Queen was under discussion, and the forma. Lion of a regency, of which Narvaez should be a member." The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 30th ult. contains the following notice of the Chief of the Police, published by the Emperor's order, with a view to calm the minds of the people : " The enemy's fleet, amounting to thirty sail, appeared on the 25th of Jane about twenty miles from Cronstadt. On the 27th several steam-vessels of war approached the lighthouse near the island of Cronstadt, but up to the pre sent time the enemy has shown no disposition to attack Cmnstadt, where every measure has been taken to receive them." The Emperor of Russia has forwarded flattering letters to the various German Courts who held a con ference at Hamburg, expressive of his deep gratitude for the part they took on that important occasion. Col. Isakoff, the bearer of the imperial message, was received very coolly by the King of Saxony ; and it is thought,likely that the other confederated Sovereigns will not give him a more cordial welcome. The St. Petersburg journals state that the Empe ror was indisposed on the 23rd ult., but that his phy • sicians gave hopes of a speedy recovery. Colonel Manteuffel returned to Berlin from St. Petersburg on Thursday, The Russian answer is sourteous. The Emperor will willingly resign the vtx vrtgg. LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1854. POSTSCRIPT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FurnAv. The house went into committee on the Oxford University Bill. Lord BERNERS moved the omission of the provision which permitted commissioners to demand the pro duction of college or university documents. This was negatived by 77 to 61. Lord WARD proposed to restore the original pro vision by which the hebdomadal council was elected by congregation, which was carried by 107 to 83. The Earl of DERBY moved that the six members of the hebdomadal council taken from convocation should be elected by convocation instead of congre gation, which was negatived by 72 to 99. The Earl of DERBY moved the omission of the clause providing for the establishment of private halls. After an animated debate the clause was carried by 109 to 78. Some other clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed. Viscount CANNING proposed an amendment in the " schools clause " by which fellowships were exempted from the university preferences or emoluments which were to continue in the possession of certain public schools. The amendment was agreed to without a division. The bill ultimately passed through committee, and their lordships adjourned at half past two o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FarnaY. The early part of the evening was occupied with a long discussion on an amendment made by the Lords in a private bill—the Middlesex Industrial Schools Bill —striking out a clause for the performance of Roman Catholic worship. A division took place, and the amendment was carried by 151 against 124. In answer to Mr. Ewart, The ATTORNRY-GENERAL said that the commission on i the inns of court was prosecuting its inquiries most diligently. In answer to Mr. Hankey, Lord .T. ltussEm. said that the only way the Government could prevent the ground on the south of St. Paul's (from (being built upon was by asking the house to purchase the ground. On the motion for going into a committee of supply, Sir J. SHELLEY called attention to a prosecution threatened against the Musical Times as an un stamped publication. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the paper in question published a large number of advertisements, more than half its matter consisting of them, a course of proceeding which it was necessary to stop. It was his intention to treat all papers in the same way, and he had not made up his mind on the ulti mate steps he should take in so difficult a matter. Mr. MILNER Ginsos thought that actions of this kind should be suspended during the present uncer tainty of the law. The whole question might be settled in three days. Lord J. Rustiti.i. said that the question was not so simple. It was impossible to permit impunity to any evasion of the law. Mr. COBDEN protested against the present uncer tainty. Both parties now complained—the un stamped press of their perpetual danger, the stamped press of the infringement of the unstamped press. At present, cheap unstamped publications within the pale of the law were rising up on all sides, which would be a source of perpetual difficulty, which could only be got rid of by abolishing the stamp, and imposing a postage on the newspapers. Mr. d. B. SMITH having said a few words, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the subject was under his anxious consideration. After a discussion respecting its sittings, the house went into a committee of supply. A . t ong the numerous votes proposed was one of l'l for completing the purchase of land at Fatlint° n.gore, intended as a site for the new ional Gallery.
