The R o y a l assent was given by commission to the Soap Duties Rift. the Malicious Injuries ( Ireland) Bill, the Ex cise Duties on Spirita Hill, the Cathedral Appointments Bill, and other bills. The s av iugs Bunks Annuities Bill was read a second time. The Colonial Bishops' Act Extents' Bill, and the Patronage Exchange 11111,1111 e read a third time, and passed. The Earl of Sitsrresarav then brought in a bill, which was read a firat time, the object of which wits understood in be to provide a check to bribery and intimidation at elections, by taking the vutea of electors at their own resi dences, and not at public polling•places. RUKKIA AND TURKEY. The Marquis of et.AmticAunt: understood that the motion on this subject that stood for this night in the House of Commons had only been postponed until Motu day. Under such circumstances, he hoped he would he permitted to renew his notice on Monday. pledging him iumerer, nut to lorvsS it then, if the motion of Mr. laiyard were abandoned in the other house. Their lordships then adjourned. lin( :-;l.*, OF COMMONS.—Fuun %v. Al tinr mint,; sitting wino pmgremb as unole in c' in. nutlee on the Limillontand Tenant Orel I) Hill.

T o ed ItAtamocros appealed to Mr. Layard to follow the example of the Martinis of t lalnieardc, *llll postpone in• definitely his motion with ►egard to the affairs of Humid* and Turkey. It was obvious that the discussion to which that motion would give rise might lead to inconvenience to the public service. Not that the iovertiment would he led to swerve from that course which they thought it their duty to take, but that it writ to is' expected that things would be uttered in the course of any debate which might lead to ttttt ecessiuy irritation, and tend to mar the eflints of the I iiivernment to bring these mititim to a peace in) termination. The object of his hon. friend ( Mr. Lap ard'm ► mot' he supposed to lie threctOld :—lirst, to obtain intermat' it' inliu•matisin were to hue 11101; secondly, to ensure her Majesty's t lovernment of siippoit in the event of such assistance being unfiniunately required; and, thirdly, to hold the Government to their duty, if the lion. gentlemen should be of opinion that. they were likely to swerve from it. Now, there was no inf o rmation he. wand that already in the possession of the whole world which mild use given consistently with a due regard fcr• the public service. With regard to the question of support, her Majesty's Government required no assurance that i n th e case o f hitch support. being unfortunately needed it. would tae cheerfully rendered. (lime, hear.) They needed no other assurance than that. they were sitting in the British Parliament. As to whether the Government required any stimulus in the performance of their duty with regard to these affairs, he thought he need only say that when two great c•ouuntries like France and England were united in one common canes• Or policy—were aiming at one common object—were guided by one common in terest, and were inspired by the most perfect and time served confidence, there would be no want of determina tion to endeavour to preserve the general peace of Europe. Ho trusted, therefore, that, with the assurance that when information could be imparted it would be forthcoming to the extent that circumstances rendered expedient, his hon. friend would consent to withdraw his motion. ..... Mr. LAVARD said that he had moved in this matter entirely as an independent member. The noble lord the member for the city of London had himself named this day for entertaining the notion. For himself he did not anticiW. that discussion would produce the evils prognos. ticated. A great nation had entered the provinces of a neighbour. and a manifesto had been issued calling on the people in the name of religion to tight in defence of their faith. The only official information of these events had emanated from the official organ of the Frewll Govern ment, and lie thought it only reasonable that the Govern ment of this country should render some information. lint if the noble lord said that this motion would be detri mental to the public service he would not press it. although the Government must take the responsibility of its with drawal. Lord l'AtmEnsTom thought that he hail already stated the inconvenience to which the motion would give rise. Mr. Ittsa %Eta observed that only a week air; the noble lord the Leader of the House had stated his readiness that this motion should be brought forward. and had himself lined the day for it. He (Mr. Disraeli) feared that the course now proposed might have a dangerous effect on public opinion ; tot if the noble lord was anxious a week ago to have the subject discussed, and • pronounced that discossion would lie injurious to the public service, the inference drawn by the country might be that eircum stances of gravity and of mysterious import had occurred in thy interipi to illtlttiN thi; IiONvIILUIVIIt to amp t k vix THE PRESS. mind as to the policy of having a discussion. (Hear. hear.) If, during the interval, such circumstances had occurred, of course honourable gentlemen would maintain silence on the subject. If they had not occurred, he thought the honourable member for Aylesbury would neglect his duty to his constituents and the country if he did not proceed with his motion. Mr. BRIIJ HT was of opinion that the matter should be left unreservedly in the hands of the Government. Sir G. Gum( disputed the inference that any circum stances of gravity or danger had arisen within the pas week to induce the Government to smother discussion Ile believed that the prospect of bringing these &lairs to an amicable termination WWI better than it was a week ago. Mr. Minim and Lord I). STUART urged the withdrawal of the motion after what had fallen from the noble lord. Mr. LAYARD then withdrew his motion, on the under. standing that it should be open to him to bring it on when considerations of public service permitted. INDIA BILL The house then went into committee on this bill, after a preliminary conversation originated by Mr. &Act: Err, who urged several objections to the measure. In clause I, Mr. ProaNN moved an amendment, the effect of which would be to place the Indian tloven►meut under the control of the Crown. Mr. Lows: opposed the amendment. The question of responsibility had been determined on the second reading. Lord STANLEY contended that the amendment did not propose to make any alteration in the constitution either of the Hoard of I liroctooro• or of the home Government, and mould not, 11101114 e, Is considered as opposed to the &ethic government. Be thought that the amendment, although not likely to produce any very important results, would he le•neficial in various inspects.

On clause '2, Lord doct:tvx moved an amendment for continuing the number of the Hoard of Itireetor4 at twelity four. _ _ _ On a division this amendment. was lust by 186 to 85.

The toast was duly acknowledged by Mr. Henry Pownall, a member of the executive committee. Mr. Isaac Butt, M.P in an eloquent breech, proptised the house of Liras," for which the Earl Talbot returned thanks. The lion. Butler Johnstone proposed the toast of the House oft:ominous ;" Mr. Booker, M.P., returned thanks. Mr. Merewether. Q.C.. in a very humorous speech, proposed the health of the noble chairman, who, in acknowledging the compli• meat, paid a well-merited tribute to the zeal and ability of his colleagues on the executive committee.

Coppuelt and Co. are actively engaged just now in pre paring for the next. Middlesex registration. The Conser vatives ought not to be asleep. The last registration won the county for them. Were a new election now to take place, there is scarcely room for a doubt that a Conserva tive candidate would have a majority of nom 300 to $ O O. lint all this may be lost, by akw weeks' inaction. If one side rakes together and pitts on the register all the Radical claimants that can he found, while the other side does nothing of the sort—if the Radical agents object to vast numbers of Conservatives, whilst the Conservatives make no answering move—the result is simply inevitable. Upon a regi s t e r o f 11,000 names either side may operate with effect. And, if all the effort and all the outlay is on one side, it is tolerably certain that the advantage will finally rest with that side also. But the Conservatives am now fairly warned; let them take the warning in time Herald. Tin: (inumALL was struck by lightning during the storm which raged in London on Thursday night.

The reports that the Emperor will shortly undertake a journey to the southern prcwinces may thus be explained, that, if the Emperor should go there at all, it will not be until later in the autumn, as his physicians have advised a repose of some duration, and the use of the baths of held. This journey will take place in the second half of the present month, as a settlement of the Turkish dittis eulties is then expected:— Foss Berlin Zeiliing. LATEST INTELLIGENCE ON THE PLANS OF EUROPEAN EMIGUATION.—GeneraI Klapka is not in Turkey, but at present in Genoa, where he has gone according to orders of Kossnth, after having stayed a considerable time at Genoa. It is from Genoa whence the whole of the Hun garian emigration, scattered over Switzerland, France, and England, is to take place when the favourable moment will have arrived, as it is supposed that the Sardinian Government will not oppose the embarkation of a number of unarmed persons. It is intended to send arms and ammunition for the little hand of emigrants from England. Mazzini. also, and the remainder of the Italian refugees, will participate in this undertaking, and embark with the cadre of three battalions of Bersaglieri from Southampton. Colonel Haug, of the late Roman Republic, has published an anfoif (call) for the formation of a German Legion. as Mazzini has refused him the command of the Italian Legion. The proclamation concludes with an invocation to the social, democratic, and indivisible republic. It is also said that Manin, ex-President of the Venetian Republic, has arrived in London to concert plans, in the ease of any " prosperous accident," fur the " patriots " of all nations. Kossuth has also issued a declaration ad dressed to the notabilities of the Hungarian emigration, where, in alluding to the " disagreements of the Courts , he exhorts his fellow-countrymen to be united, and merge at present all personal differences of opinion which may exist between them.—Neue Prom, Z e ib mg .....4 Alth o ugh the sources of our German contemporary are respectable, the above stattlatelitB UV to be Icceitred with due eircum. erection.]
