The Church Rate Abo lition Bill is added to the list of measures which, having been repeatedly approved by the House of Commons, have been peremptorily rejected by the House of Lords. Of course everybody expected this result. It is so generally understood that a measure need only have the practical sense and free spirit of the country on its aide to secure the stern disapproval of their Lordships ea democratic, lawless, and revolutionary. Lord LYVIDEN per formed with great judgment and ability the delicate and difficult task of explaining to the most exclu sive assembly in the world the opinions concern ing Church Rates which the untitled public presume to hold. People who are too busy to study the House of Lords in the awfulness of its power arc not aware of the temerity implied in an attempt to represent the opinion of the com munity to that august assembly, nor of the good fortune which sends them from time to time some new peer ready with the rashness of inexperience to undertake the task. As Lord LYVEDEN reminds us, Lord Diary had demanded in the House of Lords on a similar occasion, who would "have the " courage" to appear before their lordships with the same bill. This is how a measure adopted by the representatives of the people is received in the House of Lords. Let Lord Lr miss then have credit for courage in taking charge of the bill. The arguments brought against the bill were suitable to an assembly which votes by proxy, and appear to have been employed only to simulate a genuine debate. The striking argument of the Duke of Muumuu:woe, that the fruits of the industry of this generation were assigned to our Protestant Church in a clause of Magna Charta, is sufficiently answered by the report of the Select Committee of which his Grace was president, and which recommended the abolition of Church Rates and the substitution of what Earl Da GREY and RIPON correctly described as a voluntary rate. The great fact to be noted in the proceedings of last night is the full and express recognition by all parties that all compromise on this subject has become impossible. In this respect the Duke of NIWCAMTLR'S speech deserves attention. The advocates of Church Rates would not hear of con cession while compromise was practicable. They stood upon principle. They have since aban doned their principle in Mr. Wiarota's Bill, and again in the reconanendations of the Lords' Corn• snake. Church Rates are supported now by nothing but the obstructive power of the House of Lords. Ws are officially informed that the following arrangements have been made for the issue of tickets of admission to the galleries to be erected in Hyde-park upon the occasion of the Volunteer Review on Saturday next :—Members of the House of Peers will obtain tickets at the House of Lords. Members of the House of Commons will obtain tickets through the Speaker. Tickets have been forwarded to the officers who are to command brigades for distribution among the several corps of which their brigades will be com posed, and therefore all volunteers who wish for tickets must apply to their commanding officers. All Akers, however who purpose attending in uniform will be admitted within the lines in a place set apart for the purpose without tickets. The remaining tickets will be distributed at the War-office, except in the case of a certain number of reserved seats, for which tickets are to be ob. tallied at the Office of Works.

But here, sir, I patine aghast.

(Chess.) Royal princes, even when they happen to be field-marshals, and when they are feasting royal guards, are never supposed to make what is vul garly called an " after-dinner " speech—that is, a speech not fairly amenable to criticism. Besides, there is a deliberate purpose, a positive animus in this careful historical summary and its prefatory reflections, which forbids the idea of an improvisa tion. More ill-omened words on a feetive occasion it has never been my misfortune to read. One could wish they had not been spoken, or spoken with closed doors. In the paroxysm of the Crimean war the same illustrious speaker, in the capacity of a Master Pilot, assured his brethren of the Trinity house that "constitutional government" (contrasted with continental despotisms) "was on its trial." Those words were little noticed at that painful time, but they have rankled in the heart of England ever since. Constitutional government has come out of that fiery furnace ; is it destined to pass through other and more serious trials I Whatever amidst pelmet, Sir, may lurk in words which have the supreme infelicity of clothing a most alien senti ment in very choice English, I don't for one mo ment pretend to think that they are capable of doing any mischief in this country. They were addressed to a body of gentlemen English to the backbone, and hereditarily attached to English liberties ; but I hope I may not be deemed disloyal if I express a hope that before a Royal Prince talks again in public (for a reported speech is spoken to the public) in this complacently emphatic tone about " British soldiers standing in arms against their own country men," and thus " obeying implicitly the commands of their Sovereign, to whom they have sworn fidelity;" about the " Royalists who clung to Charles IL in exile," and soldiers who proved true to James 11., and to George 111. "against his revolted American colonies," —he will usurp that special privilege of a constitutional monarch which consists in being " unaccustomed to public speaking," or at least in delivering only speeches written by constitutional advisers. Of course it were enormously absurd to pretend that the British people, which tolerated the four Gionoss, SA useful though ungraceful flywheels to the constitutional machine, is likely to be alarmed at this untimely apparition of ancient " royalism" at a military festival. The British people (by which I don't mean what the French call le people, but the entire nation, from top to bottom) is strong enough to put up with a good deal of " tall talk." But could not the invaluable extra-military ser vices of Major-General Grey be called in next time the Colonel of the Grenadiers charges the British constitution at their head am, etc., _ _ _ PARCI7II CULTOR.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. T THE CONFERENCE AT BADEN. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's Aloe : BADEN, TUISDAT EVINING. In yesterday's conference of the sovereigns at the castle at Baden the King of Wurtemburg, in the name of the Federal governments, returned thanks for the patriotic representation of the interests et Germany by Prussia. His Majesty also expressed a desire that an understanding should be brought about between Prussia and Austria. The sove reigns offered their good offices for that purpose. The King of Wurtemburg informed the Prince Regent that the German government are occupied in drawing up a military convention, which adopts as nearly as possible the Prussian views on military organisation, and her proposals respecting reforms. His Majesty, in conclusion, said that the Federal governments, on their part, expected that Prussia should take conciliatory steps in reference to German policy. The Grand Duke of Baden then said that this decimation of his Majesty the King of Wurtemburg could not be made in the name of all the Federal governments, as several important governments had not taken part in the discussions relative to the said military convention. Baden could not give her adherence to the Prussian proposals. A summary of the Prince Regent's reply was published yesterday. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nos ous owl PARIS, TUMDAT EVISING. There are already a great many circumstances confirmatory of the decided opinion which I ex pressed yesterday, that the journey to Baden- Baden was a failure. The object of that journey— as the Prase of this evening very adroitly calls to mind, by an apropos quotation from a late number of the .Pays—was the " development of French in fluence in the world." That any step has been made good in that direction is contradicted posi tively by the Prince Regent's speech to the assem bled sovereigns at Baden, and implicitly even by the Moniteur itself. The Prince Regent took the earliest opportunity after the Emperor's departure to say that the " principal " object of his anxiety was the maintenance of Germany in all its " in tegrity," and that he should continue to walk in the path which he had "hitherto followed." Far from hinting, even in the remotest way, that any important consequences were likely to flow from the French Emperor's volunteered viait, he merely thanks the German princes for having been so good as to come to Baden to " receive," in common with him, the " pacific assurances" of that sovereign. They heard what he had to say—that's all. It is true that all the crowned heads dined together afterwards in a picturesque ruin, and the Moniteur fastens upon this pic-nic and a tea party afterwards as evidence that there was " something more than courtesy " in the relations between the parties to this " august meeting." It is surely not wonderful that kings should be well bred enough to do what country attor neys do at every assize town—dine together socially without quarrelling about business. The Monifeur, although it talks in a loose way about the conference "consolidating the peace of the world," is not able to say more in substance than the Prince Regent. It admits that the Emperor went to Baden-Baden in the hope of clearing himself of suspicions that were entertained of his designs, and takes for granted, of course, that the step has silenced "a unanimous concert of malevolent rumours and misconstructions." In the Prussian manifesto there is not a word to indicate whether, in con sequence of the " pacific assurances" which the sovereigns assembled to hear, there is a jot more confidence felt than there was before. The expression in the opening lines of the para graph in the Monikur that the Emperor's rapid voyage will, "we doubt not, produce happy results," is singularly weak, and falls far short of the anticipations upon the strength of which a rise was got up at the Bourse yesterday. To-day, notwithstanding • rise off per cent. in Console, the Bourse was very heavy, and the Rents fell 25c. both for cash and account, closing at 681 r. 75c., and 68fr. 70c. ; Mobilier fell l2fr. 50c. The Orleans Railway fell 7fr. 50c. ; Eastern, 3fr. 75c. ; Lyons, sfr. ; and the other lines from If r. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. The government prints are singularly silent about the results of the interview of Baden, an additional proof that the real return is nil. The Diario of Madrid contains the following French news, which, among other doubtful state ments, goes to confirm the assertion of the Bishop of Amiens, that the government has authorised the negotiation of a loan to the Pope : A superior officer of the pontifical army has lately arrived in Paris to receive the rifled ninnon presented to the Holy Father by the Emperor. Instructions as to the manner of using these arms have been drawn up by the Committee of Artillery, and will be translated into Italian. Notwith• standing, however, the amicable relations evidenced by these facts, the courts of Rome and Paris have not been able to agree about the nomination of • uew bishop of Vannes. But, by way of set-off, the government will permit the Roman loan, and Messrs. Blount and Co. have undertaken to bring it out. A pamphlet, with this heading, " MacMahon, King of Ireland," is published by Dentu to-day, and exposed in all the booksellers' windows. The Moniteur publishes the official return of the customs' revenue for the month of May, amount ing to 9,910,257 fr., being a decrease of 8,057,556 fr. on the same month of 1859, and of 8,217,628 fr. on that of 1858. The receipts of the first five months of the present year amounted to 57,212,595 fr., being 19,328,672 fr. lees than in the corresponding period of 1859, and 18,54.5,581 fr. lees than in that of 1858. THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY. PALERMO, Juan 13. Garibaldi has organised a division under the command of Colonel Turr, and has re-established the property tax on its anterior footing. The ',evacuation of Palermo will continue for a week longer. TURIN, Joas 18. Marxini did not undertake a voyage into Sicily as he did not expect a favourable reception. NAPLE3, Jon 16. The Sardinian Ambassador has demanded the restitution of the two steamers and their 800 pas sengers who were captured by the Neapolitan frigate Fulminante, as they had passports for Malta. Mr. Elliot, the English Ambassador, has sup ported this demand. It is asserted that the King has dismissed Lanza, Leticia, and three other generals of Sicily, and has exiled them to the island of Ischia. MARSEILLES, JUNII 19. Advises from Naples to the 16th inst. deny the disembarkation of Garibaldians in Calabria, but state that the government had sent reinforcements thither. Theme advices also confirm the disgrace of the Neapolitan generals. Four English vessels were lying off Naples. The captain of the two captured vessels had claimed an indemnity of 26,000 ducats from the Neapolitan government. (nor OUR OWN MALTA, Jowl 15. Her Majesty's ship Caradoc left Palermo on the evening of the 11th. The royal troops were all separated by themselves close to the fortresses on the sea-shore, and sentries paraded between them and Garibaldi's force to keep them isolated. They were to embark as fast as they could, leaving Gari baldi complete master of Palermo. It is said that two bands of assassins have landed in klic , ly with the avowed intention of assassinating him. He is, however, daily strengthened by the arrival of volunteers and munitions of war. The Neapolitan war steamers appear to be uselees in preventing the landing of troops to join Garibaldi. At Palermo, on the 11th, were her Majesty's ships Hannibal, Amphion, Racoon, and Intrepid ; the Sardinian Admiral and three screw frigates ; two Austrian men-of-war ; one American man-of-war ; and the Vauban French paddle-wheel steamer. Some of the shops had reopened, and trade was On the 12th there were 8,000 royal troops at Messina, and they were hourly being augmented. The fortress was well found in food.

A letter from Cagliari of the 12th 'aye : Two steamers, bearing the American sag, have entered the harbour this morning, having on board volunteers for Sicily. The Washington has 1,400 men, and the Oregon between 300 and 400. With the exception of the American captain and an American artist, the veeseis have had no " " communication with the shore. According to the state. meat of the captain of the Oregon, these steamers are only awaiting the arrival of another, which has a large sailing vessel in tow, and have together 3,000 more volunteers. "Garibaldi's Faigliahman" is on board the Washington. The ardour and zeal with which then men have taken up the cause of Sicily may be estimated by the privations to which they subject themselves. The American artist showed me • sketch on board the Wash ington, and the manner in which the men—men of wealth and family —are huddled together is truly revolting. They have scarcely ritting room, and that during the excessive heat in such a latitude as this l No slave ship during her middle passage ever presented sock a some. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, WzoirmsDAT.

THE EAST. muA, Julia 12 (VIA Mats= Lis). Advices from Beyrout state that the civil war in Lebanon commenoed towards the eud of May. The Drumm were the victors, and had burned several fine villages on the mountain, respecting only the manufactories of the Europeans. The Turkish authorities had not interfered. A fresh outbreak was expected. THE BOMBAY MAIL We have received letters and papers from Bom bay, dated May 24. The journey of the Governor-General, the de parture of the Commander-in-Chief and Sir Hugh Rose for Calcutta, and the assumption of the Bom bay command by Sir William Mansfield, are amongst the most prominent items of intelligence. The latest news of the Governor-General brings him to Allahabad, where he rested for a day, and was to proceed on the evening of the 15th ult. on his downward journey to Calcutta. The committee on the Income Tax Bill having been postponed for three weeks from the sth ult., in order to give time for Lord Canning to mesh Calcutta, the financial discussions in the Legislative Council and the press were suspended. Mr. Wilson has read in the Legislative Council a letter from the Maharajah of Burdwan, in which, "as the greatest Zemindar in Bengal," the Maha rajah disclaims all exemption from taxation, and protests against the opposition to Mr. Wilson's "admirable system of taxation ; this opposition being founded on the false assumption that it is a breach of the perpetual settlement." A t e l egr am of the 7th instant, from General Chamberlain's camp ►t Kiumegorum, informs us that the people of that town, which is the capital of the Mahsood Wuserees, had sent out repre sentatives to pray for terms of peace. Two days before the British troops had utterly defeated and broken the army of the Wuzerees, which, strongly posted on the hills and protected in front by stockades, had vainly attempted to defend the mountain peas which opened the way to Kamm gamin). The expedition may now be considered at an end. A slight improvement has taken place in the ex port market. We quote new Dhollerah, rupees 118 ; Broach, rupees 124 to 125 ; and Oomniwuttoe, ru pees 112 per candy. Our import market remains dull ; the stock in Land being large, and further consignments expected. The freight market has improved ; we now quote for Loudon and Liver pool, cotton, 41. per ton ; China, rupees 30 per candy. The money market is very easy. The Lahore Chronicle says :—" We are happy to have It in oar pewee to state that two servants of the late Monsieur A. Sehlegeintweit (Mehomed Muter and Blond by mean) have succeeded in discovering the remains of their unfortunate master, besides sU the valuables which belonged to him. They communicated the fact to the Deputy-Commissioner of K►ugra, awl have been told in consequence that if on the opening of the passes in the come of this month, they bring in the remains of the mur dered safest sad all his valuables, they will receive a boons of 200 Re. each— this being, in the opinion of the (inventor. General, the smallest sum that should be given them." THE PROPOSED DEAD MEAT MARKET IN SMITHFIELD. Last evening a " public meeting of the me a t salesmen and butchers of the metropolis ' was held at the Farnogdon.hall, Snow-hill, "in order to defeat the attempt made by the corporation of London to impose a toll or tax on meat in the bill recently introduced into the House of Commons, and which has been read a second time." The meeting was called fur 7 o'clock, and a large number of the inhabitants of the ward assembled in accordance with the follow ing circular which bad been issued by the ward clerk : A public meeting having been advertised to be held, to organise an opposition to the bill now in parliament for the erection of a meat market in Smithfield, the inhabi tants of this ward are requested to attend to defeat the opposition, and to support the bill, in accordance with the resolutions passed at various meetings of the ward." The meeting was, however, confined to meat salesmen and butchers, and am a very large number of the leading inha. biteuts were excluded, they withdrew indignantly, and held • meeting in rapport of the hilL Mr. FRANCIS HC-{LEY, J.P., presided over the butchers' meeting, and briefly opened the proceedings by stating that the question was of the greatest importance to the trade and the public, as it put a toll on the food brought to market, the inquisitorial mode of collection being even mor e objectionable than the amount of the tax. A letter was then read from Mr. Charles Pearson offer. ing to attend, but it was decided that the meeting should be confined to the trade. Mr. Moline, in moving the first resolution, strongly con demned that portion of the bill which levied • toll on all meat brought to the market. It was not the amount of the toll, but the principle which it involved, that was objected to. The toll was unjust, unnecessary, and iniquitous, sad he therefore hoped they would unanimously peas the fol. !awing resolution :—" That this meeting views with alarm and dismay the hill now before parliament, by which the corporation of London would be empowered to levy a toll or tax on meat, and energetically protests against the win ' ciple of taxing the food of millions for any purpose or under any circumstances." Mr. Vaster seconded the motion in • practical speech, contending that the corporation were extravagant, and wished to make the public pay for it by such jobs as that proposed by the bill. The matter affected the public as well as the trade, and therefore he thought they should one and all most uncompromisingly and un fl inchingly deter. mine to oppose the passing of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Him supported the motion, believing that it was an imposition to tax the salesman ; at the same time he thought they should not be too harsh towards the con poration. Mr. Paws (Common Councilman), after some personal explanation, proceefled to defend the conduct of the mem. hers of the corporation with regard to this and other matters, contending that the corporation was much more charitable than they were generally s upposed to be. He still, however, believed that if the plan for the new market had been put out to competition they would have a cheaper. and better market. He begged to support the resolu ' tion. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried with acclamation. Mr. BROWNE then proposed the next resolution, to the effect that the proposed tax would be inquisitorial in its character, partial and unjust in its operation, and wholly unnecessary, as an ample remuneration might be raised by rent alone, the only legitimate source of landlord's profit. The meeting therefore pledged itself to oppose it by every possible means. He thought the trade had a right to com plein of the manner in which the bill had been ustroduced„ but there was little doubt it would not pass the committee of the house, for the preunble stated that it was proposed to build a market bemuse there was not at present suf ficient accommodation, while in fact the proposed market would not provide as much as they had in the present market. Mr. RUDIIII4 (Common Council) seconded the motion, sad said the whole affair was a trick of the Markets Improve ment Committee upon the corporation. The butchers would not use the market if there were a toll— (War, hear)—and therefore it would never be successful. The resolution blaring been agreed to, a petition to par liament was adopted.

THE LATE CONSUL BARRAR.—Our Naples our. respondent write on the 14th iu.t. :—" I have to record a painful fact, the death of Louis Barber, whose name was so intimately and so honourably associated with the Cagliari cause. It is his great praise that he carved out his own career. Her Britannic Majesty's vice-consul in this capital during the celebrated visit of Mr. Gladstone, who showed him much kindness, he became afterwards acting consul during the lingering illness of the late consul, Captain Osllway, R.N. In an interval of two years of much poli. tical agitation, he performed the duties of his °Bice so as to command the approbation of his own countrymen and his own government, and the distinguished notice of Vista EmmanueL On the appointment of Mr. Bonham to the consulate of Naples in February, 1859, Mr. Barber went to Caudia, where he was appointed her Britannic Majesty's consul. Two months ago he returned, on leave of absence, to visit his family, whom he had left here for their educe tion. He brought with him the seeds of fever, which developed themselves elope immediately, and on Thursday last he died, leaving a wife and family =provided for. Our consular regulations make no provision for such a case, but surely the British government will do itself honour by making an exception to the rule, and the British public will not let the family of Louis Barber remain in want of that support which the husband and Path er can no longer give them." A letter from Meesina say.:—"Sicily is now en tirely free ; the hated Bourbon uniform is nowhere to be seen, except at Syracuse and here, at Messina, where the head-quarters have been established. But the most singular part of the matter is, that the whole of the royal troops—all, I say, from the superior officers down to the common men—seem never to get tired of landing to the skim the virtues of Garibaldi. They de. clam that he is as gentle and generous and kind-hearted after the bloodiest battle as he is courageous and terrible whilst the conflict rages. They add that is impossible for those who have once known him again to fight against hint, and they end by saying, ' We certainly will never again fight against him ; you may depend upon that.' Here every apprehension of a conflict between the soldiers and the people has durappenred." THE CHANNEL FLEET AT LEITH.—The weather yesterday being highly favourable for pleasure trips to the fleet, steamers of various build, sine, and coalition, be. longing to the Tay and the Tyne, as well as to ports cet both sides of the Forth, put off at all hours during the day from Leith and Greaten, crowded with passengers, and ran neck-sal-neck races with each other to the great focus of attraction, St. Margaret's Hope. A fine easterly brem% which sprang up in the morning and continued nearly an day, was also turned to good account by numerous fishing-boats and .cables, which ran up the river with well-filled sails, tarrying snore select, or at heat small parties from Leith, Newhaven, Burntisland, Kirkcakly, and elsewhere. Thu throng of ranters was of • more miscellaneous character than on Saturday, and not quite so overwhelming; and they were also, generally speaking, distributed pretty generally over the different vessels in the fleet. In all the ships they were not only received with that hearty courtesy which is so marked a cha. racteristic of the officers and crews of the British navy when at home in their floating castles, but in most mass the visitor' were entertained with music from the ship's band, and in one vessel (the Mars? dancing wail continued for a couple of hours with great spirit on the nutintleck by the officer, and their lady visitors, and hornpipea were danced with much skill and taste by several of the sailors. — &aleakaa.
