But this young libeller of his own leaders where they cannot answer him, and vilifier of the people where they bare few representatives earnest and able enough to grapple with and punish their defamer as he deserves, ought to be a little more cir cumspect in his enterprises against those political antagonists with whom none but himself would venture to compare him. He ought to remember the words of Mr. Disesimt, addressed from the Treasury Bench to an ex- Minister wholiad exceeded ordinary bounds in the bruvi , rie of his attack on him—" Malignity is " not sarcasm, and insolence is not invective." It may, indeed, be pardonable in one who wields the weapons of debate with matchless skill and a giant hand, to smile contemptuously at:the urchin spite that impotently frets and frisks beneath his eye ; but the self-respect of the House of Com mons has claims to preservation, for if them be neglected that assembly must become a bear garden. Rhetoric fence is one thing—a cudgel fight is another. We hope that the sticklers for aristocratic superiority in the material of which senates are made will note, however, the pro gress of deterioration, and to whom it is owing. Last year we had a Minister hustled and all but knocked down in the lobby by a scion of a ducal family ; and now we have another Minister assailed in a manner worthy only of a booth in a fair or a pothonse in a country town, by one scarce inferior in rank. PUBLIC BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Thin morning the following report from the select committee of the House of Lords, appointed to con sider " whether, by any alterations in the forms and pro ceedings of this house, the despatch of public business can be more effectually promoted," was issued : "The committee are of opinion that the forms and ;practice of this house are well calculated to prevent delay is the passing of bills, or in the transaction of other busi ness. But the house has had frequently to regret that bills have been sent up by the other House of Parliament at so LW • period of the session as to render it impossible to give them that full consideration which the public interests require. That this is not a novel complaint is proved by the standing order of May 5, 166(1, and the sub sequent proceedings of this house. It appears to the com mittee that two modes of remedying this evil may be suggested; either that some portion of the legislation which now originates in the House of Commons should commence In this house, or that some alteration should be made in the forms and proceedings of the other house, which would enable it to devote more time and atten tion to legislative measures during the early part of the ses sion. The committee would observe, that independently of financial measures, which begin as of course in the House of Commons, the representative character of that house ren ders it expedient that some other classes of important bills should first be discussed there ; and should be reviewed rather than proposed in this house. It is obvious that the course of proceeding by which such measures may be so expe dited in their passage through the other house, so as to allow of their full consideration by the Lords, and to enable the Commove and this holm afterwards to give doe attention to any amendment which may have been there,must rest entirely with the House of Commons In purulence, however, of the power given to them, the committee directed their chairman to place himself in com munication with the chairman of the committee in the Com mons on the business of the louse ' with a view to facilitate the co-operationn of the House of Lords in any arrant=ta which might require the joist action of the two they also authorised him to make the following suggestions : "1. That it is expedient, in certain cases, to adopt an abridged form of proceeding with reference to bills which shall be again brought before thin house after having been passed by it, in the immedistely preceding session of the same parliament. "2. That the bills in respect to which such abridged form of proceeding may be adopted, shall be inatatia etulandle the same bills which this haw may have passed and mat to the other house, and as to which that house may have resolved that there did not remain time fur their due consideration in the maim in which they were I received. - - - _ -- "3. That on a resolution being moved.that it is expedient again to pass, and to send to the other house for its coo. eurrence, any such bill, the question shall be put whether the house will agree to the same, and on such resolution being speed to, the bill to which it relates shall be forth. with sent to the other house for its cooctirreoce without any further question being put or any debate allo wed. " The committee also suggeeted, through their chairman, that it would be expedient that the House of Commons should authorise some oue of its members to move 31, soon as possible the first reading and the printing of all hills sent down from the House of Lords, in conformity with the Facile* adopted by this house with reference to bills sent up from the House aS Commons. These suggestions did not meet with the concurrence of the committee in the House of Commons, for the ream= set forth in their report, which has since been crimmunicated to this house. That report, however, contains certain resolutions agreed to by the committee of the House of Commons, which, if carried out, would, in their opinion, e ff ect 'chasm in their own forms and proceedings, which they confidently ►believe will expo , dite the despatch of business from the first commencement of the session, and thus give to the Lords an earlier oppor- Wilily of considering their measures,' Under those chews. stucco, and the committee in the Commons bowies made their report to the house, it appeared to the committee un necessaryto prolong their sittings ; and that it would be desirable, before any further steps are taken io the Lords, to watch the effect of the alterations proposed, in case they should receive the sanction of the House of Commons.

That gentleman pointed • out the want of harmony between the Court of Chaasegy in England and the Court of &snow in Scotland regard to the prin ciple upon which the guardianship of a ward ought to be based, ruling at one time that the custody */ the infant was to be determined according to the law iu qeo of his . A digression, in which Mr. C. Clarke, Kr. gtru riy seQ.C., Mr. Everett, Mr. Reilly, and several other gentlemen took part, ensued, the weight of opinion being in favour of having the question regulated by the principle of domicile. and that the comity of nations stould be =t to hear se se to prevent conflicts between the tri ed we reasidgy and thaw of another.

Iv it were not that the interests of trade and revenue are likely to suffer by a prolongation of uncertainty regarding financial legislation, we should not regret the repetition of such discussions as those which have already occupied eight nights in the House of Commons, and to which a ninth is to be devoted on Thursday. Their whole ten dency is to consolidate the strength of the Liberal party, and to rally in support of its most eloquent Imam a clear and decided force of opinion out of doors. All the ingenuity of cavil fails to detect any flaw in the constitutional soundness of the policy recommended by Mr. GLADSTONE ; and the factions prophets of ill look day after day and week after week in vain, for some tidings of mis chief or misery in some quarter of the world to furnish them with a pretext for asking a recon sideration of the Minister's calculations. One practised lawyer after another was put up on Monday night to argue in favour of the irre sponsible power of the House of Lords in matters of taxation ; but it is difficult to say whether the special pleadings of Mr. Rorer, or the irrestraineble irrelevancies of Mr. WHITISIDS, were less to the purpose of their party. Mr. Cowea as effectually answered the one as Lord JOHN Ruesr.sc disposed of the other. The chief reliance of the Opposition speakers seems to have been placed upon their hope of being able to confuse men's minds as to the nature of " a tack " to a bill ; and Mr. WIJYIIIDS quoted a image from Lord Soma= against the political character of the great ring leader of the bad practice of tacking in his time. But the instances are nothing to the purpose. The memorable struggle between the two Houses depicted by Lord MACAULAY arose out of an attempt by the Tory opposition of that day to assume to themselves not only the power of resuming grants made by the Crown, but of sitting in summary, absolute, and irrever- Bible judgment on the Ministers who had sane tionod them. They knew that the Upper House would never pus their usurping measures of confiscation and penalty unless coerced to do so by a sense of public danger, and they therefore " tacked " the penal enactment they had framed to a Bill of Supply, without which the credit of the Treasury could not be sustained. A more monstrous proceeding in every respect the annals of Parliament do not contain ; yet it is worthy of note that after a prolonged resistance, the Peers, though they had manifest right and justice on their side, were compelled at length to give way. It is impossible to show a single fea ture of resemblance between the case of 1700 and that of 1861. Things wholly discrepant and dissimilar were in the former tied together, avowedly for the purpose of bullying the Lords iato submission. In the present instance two re made= of duty are named in a Bill which im poses two or three other taxes of minor amount. But nobody has ventured to argue that any clause or part of a clause in the measure is not part and parcel of a Money Bill ; nobody will venture gravely to assort that from first to last there is a' single provision which could with any regard to propriety be incorporated in any other than a• Money Bill. The great case of " tacking" relied OD by the orators of the Opposition must therefore he held to be utterly inapplicable. Not less striking is the contrast between the venal and virulent Eirvsor it who led the reactionary party one hun dred and sixty years ago, and the upright, puncti lious, and we must take leave to say sometimes I too forbearing leader of the Liberal party iu the present struggle. A more worthless politician than "the tacker" portrayed by Sons= can hardly be conceived, or one who accomplished less by years of greedy and unscrupulous faction even for his party. A more stainless public man does not exist than Mr. Ocaterrows, nor are there many of the statesmen of our time who have written their names in a greater number of useful and popular statutes. If the Cstasicalaoa of the Ex cueour.a has a fault, it is the mute disdain with which he treats scurrility and abuse like that in which the hope of the House of SALISBUZY in dulged the other night, not for the first time, and which would have been more befitting the days of Barwick or Jacs Howe than the more decent times in which we live. The House, which last week was surprised into silent toleration of Lord ROSS= Czen.'s impertinence and folly, shook its head at Mr. DisaaeLefl reckless patronage ostentatiously bestowed on the author of what it was willing to forget as a thoughtless sally, but what it bad no mind to forgive if perpetrated again. The out break of indignation and disgust with which the deliberate repetition of the offence was visited on Monday night must have made the right hon. Member for Bucks repent the encouragement he had so heedlessly given. We have heard of the drummer fearing the lash ; but it is something new for a tormentor who has given up the busi ness to go out of his way to puff and pat on the back a blundering apprentice in the craft. Mr. DISEAELI was himself an inquisitor of exquisite cunning in the art of cruelty, and owed no little of his first celebrity in debate to his series of philippics against Sir RosasT Pen.. If Lord Exeria's nominee for • Stamford had the wit as he has the will to assail Mr. Cc...ono= in like fashion, ho would be only too sure of an attentive and even anxious hearing from an audi ence like the present House of Commons. But devoid of sense as of humour, his efforts at mischief affront the gravity and offend the taste of the public ; and were ho not one of the favoured caste his efforts to revive the ruthless rhodowontade practised formerly by the late Colonel Stirmo THE PRINCE CONSORT IN CAMBRIDGE. The Prince Consort paid a visit to Cambridge on Tuesday (yesterday). His royal highness arrived at Cambridge by special train shortly before twelve. The Prince Consort, attended by the Hon. Alexander Gordon, proceeded to Trinity College, where the Vice-Chancellor was in waiting. From Trinity the royal party proceeded to Preform Kingsley's, where the Prince of Wales was attending lectures. At two, Professor Willie, am Sir Robert Rede's lecturer. delivered a lecture in the tleoate•house, the subject the history of Trinity College. The Priem Consort and the Prince of Wales were present, and the Senate•house was filled by the thee of the town and neighbourhood. M the omielusion of Pregame Willis's lecture, the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales went to findingley-hall, and returning thence the Prince Consort started for London at about a quarter to five o'clock. Mr. Robertson, of the &stern Counties Railway, attended the royal train up and down. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BEDFORD, K.G. It is with regret that we announce the demise of the Duke of Bedford. His grace, who has for some months past been in a declining state, expired yesterday afternoon at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, shortly after 2 o'clock. Lord John Russell and Mr. F. H. Russell were sum moned by telegraph at au early hour, and arrived at Wo burn in time to be present at the duke's death-bed. The late Right Hon. Francis, seventh Duke and Earl of Bedford, Marquis of Tavistoek, Baron Russell of Thorn haugh, and Baron Howland of Streatham, county of Surrey, in the peerage of England, was the eldest son of John, sixth duke, by his first marriage with the Hon. Georgiana Eliza beth Byng, second daughter of George, fourth Viscount Tor ringtoe. He was born May 13,1788, and married Aug. 8, 1808, Lady Ansa Maria Stanhope, eldest daughter of Charles, third and late Earl of Harrington, by whom, who died in July, 1867, his grace leaves issue an only son, William, Marquis of Tavistock, now Duke of Bedford. The deceased peer was educated at Westminster School, whence he re moved to Trinity College, Cambridge, to complete his studies. Before be graduated IPA M. A. in 1808 he had gone the tour of Europe, as customary in those days. On his return to England he entered the House of Commons as M.P. for Bedfordshire, which county he represented in six oussentive parliaments, until he was summoned in Decem ber, 1832, to the Horse of Lords in his father's barony of Howland. The late duke, during his public career in the Lower House, voted on all occasions with the whig party, and, although an =frequent speaker in the Howe of Pears, invariably supported the views and mar. mires of the whig governments. On the death of his f►ther in October, 18311, he succeeded to the dukedom. lu 1832 he was appointed Special Deputy-Warden of the Stannarios, and on the death of the late Earl de Grey was rude Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire. In 1846 he was made a member of the Privy Council, and the year following • Knight of the Order of the Garter. Oa the death of Lord Macaulay he became High Steward of Cambridge. By his death the extensive estates belonging to the house of Rus sell in Bedfordshire, Devonshire, Herta, Cambridgeshire, and Middlesex, as well u the titular honours, devolve upon his only sea, William, born in 1009. The present duke was M.P. for Taviatook from 1832 to 1841. ROYAL. LEVEZ.--cr is DAT. }—This afternoon the Prince Consort held • seeood levee, at St. James's Palms, on behalf of her Majesty. The beauty of the weather brought great numbers of sightseers to the West. sod. The Countess Amherst had an assembly last evening at the family residence in dronenor•goare. The Earl and Countess of Harewood and family mike to town to-day from Harewood House, Yorkshire, for the mason. Lady Middleton has arrived at the Queen's Motel, Upper Norwood. Lord 'kewborough and the Hon. Misses Wynn have arrived from Illyullivos, Caroaryousbire. The Hun. Mrs. Gage's ball is fixed for the sth of Jane.

The ceremony was performed by the bride's father. In anticipation of the visit of the Prince of Wales to Ireland, a large number of troops are being assembled at the Curragh. The brigading of so many well disciplined corps together will afford ► f►vourable oppor tunity to his royal highness for acquiri►g a practical know ledge of military duties and 111111103UTTIM It is expected that his royal highness will arrive about the lath inst., and during his stay occupy the quarters which Lord Seaton had whilst at the Curragh. The Dublin Freeman publishes a letter from New York, in which Archbishop Hughes indicates the policy which the American Irish will pursue in the present crisis. It is, he says, fifty years since he took the oath of allegi ance to the American constitution, and no change has since come over his mind as to his duties as • citizen. The government was then, as it is now, symbolised by the " stars and stripes," which has been his flag, and shall be to the end. Although expressed In roundabout phraseo logy, Archbishop Hughes' words imply sympathy with the North, en adoption of its quarrel, and • belief that the Irish in America bold the same views as himself. The " stars and stripes," at the request of Archbishop Hughes, have lean suspended from the Romeo catholic cathedral of New York. The Sligo Journal has been " favoured with the perusal of • letter from • very intelligent native of Slip, sow resident in New York, in which it is stated that hun dreds of families, some long resident in the States, have be gun to sell off their property and goods in order to return to Ireland. The writer, who has lately travelled a good deal in the Union, adda that the Irish who have but re. cently settled in the states bordering on the south, are sell ing all elf at • considerable loss, and retracing their steps northward. Already the crisis is telling upon the industrious and labouring classes, and he fears that our poor country men, who form so large a proportion of the latter, will, by crowding into the towns and seaports of the north, and there expending their small s•vi•gs in waiting for • return of peace, have to endure much privation."

The Inapt%dance Beige of yesterday evening pledges itself to the literal correctness of the following statement :—" Negotiations are taking place between the Cabinets of Paris and Turin, and an arrangement is close at hand. The Italian government undertakes to respect the present pon tifical territory and to prevent any invasion of it whatsoever. France will inform the Holy See of this engagement, and will announce to the Court of Rome its intention to recal its troops—a portion at once, and the remainder at a definite period. The recognition of the kingdom of Italy by France will take place at the same time." (RlLlNliell TZLIKIRAIIL) MILITARY OCCUPATION OF HUNGARY. VIENNA, lIIIAT 16.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON N. JAMES FAZY. LENIENT SENTENCE. It may be remembered that an account was given et as easanit in March last en Y. Fazy, Vice-Preahlent of the Council of State of Geneva, by one Marchand. Two days back this man was brought to trial before the Court of Align/ of Geneva, not only for the assault, but on the charge of outraging fd. Fazy in the once of his depart ment, and carting on him imputations calculated to affect his honour. The fact" of the case were these :—On the 25th of March, Marchand called on M. Fazy at the Treasury, that gentleman being also pre sident of the department of finance, and inked to be allowed to contract for the demolition of part of the for tifications. M. Fazy answered that the matter did not con cern him, but the department of public works, and recom mended Marchand to apply there. But the man broke out into violent language, awl accused the department of show. ing partiality to certain persons to the prejudice of others. M. Fazy said that ho would beg M. Fontanel, chief of the department of public works, to examine any claim Marchand might have to the contract which he solicited, but that declaration did not satisfy the man, and he insisted on having a positive promise that the contract would be given him. M. Fazy repeated that he would send a recommendation to M. Fontanel, but as Marchand continued to talk, M. Fazy at last, getting impatient, cried out, "Go away—you weary me :" On that Marchand said, "You are au insolent fellow," and shook his fist at N. Fazy. That gentleman, fearing to be attacked, took up • chair to defend himself. At that moment some clerks hearing the now entered, and the man was turned out ; he went away muttering threats. The day after, as M. Fazy was walking across the Pont des Herpes on his way home from the Council of State, Mar chand went up to him, and, without saying a word, struck him a violent blow in the face with his closed hand, and ' followed it up by two or three others in the breast. He would probably have continued the assault if M. Farb, and a gentleman who was with him, had not rushed for ward and bold him until he was taken into custody by the police. The advocate of the prisoner appealed to the jury for indulgence. on the ground that the man received provo cation, and hail been since kept in prison more than six weeks awaiting his trial. The jury declared him guilty, and the court condemned him to nine months' imprison. meat and the costs. A letter from Munich of the 10th in the Aug,- Lam avetre says:—" At a family dinner which took place yesterday at the Wittalsbach Palace, in honour of the Count de Trani, King Louie rose and proposed a tosat to the health of the heroes of Gaeta, sad afterwards to that of Count de Trani. To-day the count gave private audience' to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Apostolic Nuncio, and several high personages of the royal family. The count is frequently seen in private clothes walking in the streets." At the Grand Opera, Paris, David's Herculanunt has been revived, Gueymard replacing Roger. Mdtne. Ristori continues her performance in French at the Odeon with undiminished success. It is said the celebrated tragedLin is about to act Medea in French. The Chamber of Citizens of Bremen, in a recent sitting, passed a restriction calling on the senate to take ineviures, in aixonl with the other German governments, to abolish passports, or at least to make • sweeping reform in the regulations relative to them. Mn, COBDIN.—A letter in the Nord nays " Mr. Cobden, on his return from Algeria, has spent some days in Lyons and the neighbourhood. He has occupied himself with the greatest interest in collecting all the in formation neeessiry for elucidating the important question of the duty on wines on their importation into England. He has visited various proprietors, and listened to their state ments and complaints, as well as those of the wine mer- chants." --- A STILNON STORY.—A letter from Vicenza, in the Sentinelta Breariana, contains the following :—" On the 19th ult. the prince, son of the late Prince Charles, the Duke of Modeuri, and another prince, left Viceless by the Sent* Croce gate, with all their forces, to execute certain mdi manoeuvres. The Tyrolese (from Trent) were ordued to represent an Italian force. The manoeuvres took place on Monte Crocetto. After going through several movements the Austrians advanced on the Tyrolese with the bayonet. The general commanding the latter ordered them to advance rapidly on their opponents ; and when the two armies were quite close to one another he commanded the Tyrolean to fire. After the first discharge it was found that there were two killed and 26 wounded. A great mur muds( arose among the soldiers ; the princes precipitately abandoned the camp and returned to VIOODZA at a gallop, ordering the ranks to be broken up, and every regiment to return to its quarter. Shortly after the carriages of the wounded entered Vioenza. Three manoeuvres were to last three days, but in consequence of this occurrence they luive been given up. It is said that the Tyrolese bad put peb bles in their muskets.„ EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (molt ma owm PARIS. I s t:M.BOAT EVENING. It was fully expected that the Moniker would contain to-day a ministerial declaration confirming the statement that the French army will evacuate Syria by June 5 ; but the sitting of the Senate yesterday, in which this statement should have been =de, was entirely taken up by an adjourned debate on the fishermen's petition. The discussion on the Syrian petition comes on to-day, and there cannot be the least doubt that M. Billault will declare the intention of the French government to fulfil its engagements, and that after a catholic demonstration by M. Larochejacquelin and some of the cardinals the petition will be shelved. Yesterday the government allowed the senators to gain a protectionist battle in the matter of the fisheries ; but it was only a sham fight. Nothing can be wilder than the idea of going back upon the provisions of the commercial treaty. What the petitioners want is to restore the protectionist duty of 48fr. upon fish instead of the 10fr. fixed by the new tariff. MM. Rouher and Baroche, ministers without portfolios, followed M. Michel 1 1 Chevalier, and demolished the arguments by which it was sought to prove that the high duty was essential to the existence of the French fisheries and the French navy. But, as the only ques tion was whether the order of the day should be voted on the petition (a formality tantamount to rejection), or whether it should be referred to the com petent ministers for consideration, the government speakers, just to humour the protectionist senators and flatter their sense of self-importance, saicl4at a question of this kind was always open to considera tion, and therefore they would by no means object to its being "referred." They, however, clearly gave it to be understood that the further inquiries to be made would be principally for further facts tending to show the absurdity of the fears enter tained by the petitioners, and M. Rouher pleasantly told the supporters of the petition that two or three years hence he would receive their congratulations on the failure of their sinister predictions. On a divi sion the reference was voted by 99 to 14. M. de Per. signy voted with the majority--on the principle, I suppose, of that perpetual inquiry admitted by M. Ronher—but the ministers Delangle, Ronland, and Marshal Randon voted in the minority, clearly showing which way the Emperor inclines. MM. Emile 011ivier, Jules Favre, Darimon, Picard, and Hinon have availed themselves of an opportunity afforded by a clause in the budget to bring forward once more a proposal for the repeal of the law of public safety and other laws of an "exceptional character. They have in due form lodged an amendment proposing to reduce the secret service money of the Minister of the Interior from two millions to one million. The grounds of their amendment, as stated in an explanatory note, are that they feel it impossible to concur in the credit demanded so long as the following laws are not repealed :-1. The decree of December 8, 11331, concerning individuals placed under the surveil lance of the high police and individuals known to have belonged to a secret society. 2. The law of June 26, 1852, prohibiting certain categories of individuals from residing in the department of the Seine or the communes forming the Lyons agglomeration. 3. The Articles 3,6, 7,8, 9, and 10 of the law of public safety of February 27, 1858. It is now said that the departure of the court for Fontainebleau is postponed to the 27th. The Bourse was good. The Rente, after being firm all day, closed for account at G9fr. GOc., with a rise of 10c. and at yesterday's price, 69fr. 55c., for account. Kohllier rose 6fr. 26c. The Western Railway rose Mr., Southern and Orleans 3fr. 75c., and the other lines from lfr. 2150. to 2fr. 50c. According to the &Mc, it has been decided to adopt one uniform tariff for telegraphic despatches in Franoe ; a telegram between any two places in the same department is to cost lfr. ; and the price to any part of France will be 2fr. Of course this announcement must be understood as referring to a simple despatch, not exceeding a given number of words. THE MINISTER FROM THE UNITED STATES.

He .aS accompanied by his wife and daughter and two son,. In. mediateiy on landing they proceeded to the Adelphi Hord, where shortly afterwards he was waited on by his worship the Mayor.
