IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T HOUSE OF LORDS—Tnis EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. THE POST-OFFICE. Ihe Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from 1 ,608 persons employed in the Post -office, praying for a committee to inquire into the state of their pay, the system of promotion, the new system of introducing supplemental letter carriers, and the non-production of the commissioners' report of 1860, which has caused great dissatisfaction throughout ece service. ITALY. In reply to the Marquis of NOILMANBY, Earl RUSSELL said he believed that General Garibaldi Lad been in sommunication with certain persons in Italy, with the view of organising a revolutionary expedition to the Venetian provinces, but the movement had been dis covered by the Italian Government. He had no doubt that a proclamation had been issued declaring that if an 'expedition were sent to Venetia 100,000 men were ready tojoin it, but he had received no official information of the fact from Sir James Hudson. He believed that an expedition Which was got up a short time ago was interrupted by the Italian Government, and the persons who took part in it Were imprisolled. Lord BROUGHAM deprecated the course which the promoters of these revolutionary expeditions had taken. Ile respected General Garibaldi as a soldier, but not as a stat esman; and as to M. Mazzini, he had no respect for 13 1 2 tither as a warrior or statesman. CANADA. Lord LYVEDON wished to put a question to the noble duke with reference to the extraordinary act of the Cana dian Legislature in rejecting the Militia Bill, the first measure for the self-detence of the colony which had been submitted to them. It seemed to be a very strange return for the promptitude with which we had sent out troops to support them, when hostilities with America appeared im • alinent. He wished to know from the noble duke if he had Lad any correspondence with the Governor-General which would enable him to state the causes which had produced this result. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was not in a posi ticn to give any information beyond that which had ap peared in the newspapers. Probably many of their lord ships would be aware that a Militia Bill passed through the Canadian Legislature some seven or eight years ago, but Pram various circumstances it had happened that that militia force had only existed on paper. In consequence of what occurred last winter, and the earnest representations which were forwarded to Canada some three or four months ago, a militia bill was introduced, which was rejected on its second reading, on the ground that it would not work well. when the new Ministry got into working order a new bill Would, he thought, most likely be introduced. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time :—Tufnall's Estate, Furness and Coniston Railway Company, Caledo • nian Railway (Deviations), Ashbourne and Belper Road, Caledonian Railway (Leith Branches), West Midland Railway, and Bridge of Weir Railway. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Redditch Railway, Keighly and Worth Valley Railway, l lidland Railway, and Furness Railway. 'LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords amendments to the Maryport and Carlisle Railway Bill and the Midland Railway (Additional Powers) Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Aberdeen Police, Water, &c. ; Birkenhead Railway , Bre con Markets and Fairs ; Caterham Water ; Glasgow Police ; Rent Coast Railway ; Kettering and Thrapstone Railway : Llanelly Railway and Dock; Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergaveney Railway; Phillimore's Estate Bill; Vale of Neath Railway; Wakefield Water; and Ventnor Harbour. Several private bills were read a first time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of the County Financial Board Bill ; from Ireland against the Fisheries Bill; in favour of the Poor-law Officers Superannuation Bill ; for ar, alteration in the mode of parochial assessment; in favour of the Permissive Bill, &c. COMPENSATION TO BRITISH SUBJECTS BY THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. Lord R. MONTAGU gave notice that he would move for a return on this subject on an early day, THE WAR IN AMERICA. Mr. HOPWOOD gave notice that on the Ist of July he would move a resolution to the effect that it was the duty of the Government of this country to endeavour te termi nate the civil war in America by their friendly interference. OMNIBUSES. Mr. DAWSON asked the Secretary of State for the Rome Department, whether, in the absence of any present limitation of fares demanded by conductors of omnibuses in the metropolis, it would not be desirable to place these public conveyances under the same regulations as hackney T i llagT 3 ; and, whether the Government would undertake legislation with that object. Sir G. GREY sa id that it wou ld no t b e p oss ible to adopt thesame. regulati ons re l a ti ve t o omn ibuses that were in force m respect to hackney carriages. Omnibuses_ came under the denomination of stages coaches, and . they went long and stated distances, and there was . a regulation by which the proprietors were obliged to lase inside the carriages a list of fairs for the different distances P m in their routes, and they were not entitled to charge more than the price which they specified. EXAMINATIONS UNDER THE NEW CODE. Lord R. CECIL asked the Vice-President of the Coun cil on Education whether; arrangements had been made at the Council Office for the appointment of clerk s an d deputy inspectors to assist in the examinations required by the New Code ; and whether, before such appointments are made, an estimate of the expense to be incurred on that account will be laid before Parliament ? Mr. LOWE said there had been no such appointment as . that all u d e d t o by the noble lord, and was not anticipated that any such would be required during the present year. THE QUEEN'S COLLEGES. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, - when he will lay before the house his scheme for reducing the professorships in the Queen's Colleges, and appro priating to other purposes the grant no w given tor main taining the libraries and lighting and cleansing the buildings. Sir R. PEEL said that the matter was being considered by the p ro p er au th or it ies , and it would be necessary to have a statute to give effect to the decision at which th e y might arrive. OMNIBUSES. In reply to Mr. Gnirrizli, Sir G. GREY repeated in substance the answer he had already given on the subject. Mr. GRIFFITH thought it would be desirable if the list of fares were placed outside as well as inside omnibuses. Sir G. GREY said all he could do was to inform the house of the law on the subject. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL (LORDS). On tho motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir H. CAIRNS moved that it be referred to a select committee. He was desirous that the bill should pass this session, but from its importance it was necessary that it should pats in the most perfect form possible. It had been, said that this measure was merely a permissi ve "..il, but that was only true in a limited sense , and the r esult of th e measure in its present state would be to bring aurro ding t he Purch aser of an estate i nto confl i ct w i t h th e owners of have to estates whose titles to their properties would , be investig a t e d. The result of this would be th at tnere would b e With the great, Fr Con (Hear.) endless disputes . and 1 iga I. • House, from whom greatest to the mended would be ourse he recom• opinion of the Upper moat conducive he thought the c , To drew the attention of h c e onducive to public i c n t te th re a s t t. ii there )3., members to the fact was not an entire consrrence of opinion amongst the mem bers of the house to all the provisions of the bill ; and he analysed at some lowing clauses, . h _ hoe considered required con siderable alteration. H denied that there was any identity between this bill an d the Encu m bered States Court in Irelan d, from which it was said to have been de • rived. Mr. COLLIER said that if this bill were referred to a select committee it wo uld be strangled, for th e house must know from its experien c et h at in the ease of any bi ll referred • to a select committee at that period Of the yew', it would be extremely difficult to secure the attend ance of members on a committee upstairs. But were it otherwise, he did not think the measure required to be considered before a select committee) as the suk;i3et had been ventilated for the last 30 years, and how could it be expected that when there were so many other measures to be legislated on for the re mainder of the session, members could devote their time exclusively to this bill, notwithstanding its importance. Mr. WALPOLE considered that it would be saving the time of the house if the bill were referred to a select commit tee, and that the bill would be improved by the considera tion it would receive from the tribunal to which it was pro• posed to submit its details. Mr. MALINS said that he had already expressed his opinion that this bill was not worth passing, and that no select committee could improve it to an extent that would render it worth passing. For that reason he was not pre pared to give the bill any active opposition; and he agreed that referring the measure to a select committee would have the effect of strangling it for this session. Mr. SCULLY opposed the reference of the bill to a select committee, and contended t no evidence of any voter in addition to what had beenpreyiously adduced could be brought before any select committee, Mr. ROLT supported the amendment for referring the bill to a committee. Sir F. GOLDSMID opposed the amendment, as he con sidered the details of the bill could be efficiently discussed in a committee of the whole house. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the duty of the Government was to pass this bill without delay, and therefore their course was to ask the whole house to decide on the bill without a preliminary enquiry, which would endanger its passing this session. [LEFT SPEAKING.] MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. During the past week business in the various manufacturing districts has been suspended, owing to the Whitsuntide holidays. At Manchester, however, prices of both cloths and yarns have advanced. The woollen trade of Leeds has been dull, while at Bradford and Huddersfield no mate rial alteration can be recorded. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham the operations have been of a very restricted cha racter, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton increased dulness has prevailed. The iron trade of South Staffordshire, however, has exhibited symptoms of renewed activity. There was an active inquiry for cotton in the Liverpool market on Saturday, and prices tended upwards. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. A call of £2 10s., amounting in the aggregate to £206,250, becomes due to-morrow on the shares of the London,;Chatham, and Dover Metropolitan Ex tension Railway. Notice has been given by the London agency of the Commercial Bank of Cannada that a dividend, at the rate of 7 per cent., will be payable on and after the Ist pros. The Pera from Alexandria has brought £76,000 in specie. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . Two O'CLOCK. The money market continues quiet, with ample supplies for the requirements of the mercantile community. The demand is necessarily limited; owing to the continued dullness of trade and the absence of other descriptions of enterprise calcu lated to augment the general inquiry. The effect of the preliminary payments and early calls upon the shares of the new joint stock companies intro- duced during the last few weeks has now subsided, and the prospect of an immediate advance in the rate of discount at the Bank of England has ceased for the moment to engage the attention of specu lators, and others more particularly interested in the subject. Rather more firmness has been perceptible in the Stock Exchange Markets to-day, owing to an in creased demand on the part of speculators who have been influenced by the improvement in the weather, the absence of further withdrawals of sovereigns from the Bank of England, and the easier aspect of monetary affairs. Consols are 911 for money, and 911 for the account. The New Threes are firm at 91f, I; the Reduced at 911 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 3s. to 6s. prem. India 5 per Cent. Loan has improved to 1071 1.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have been exceedingly limited, and prices have shown little variation of importance. Lancashire and Yorkshire have receded 1 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 4 ; and South Wales, 1; Bristol and Exeter, and North Eastern (Berwick), however, improved 4; Brighton, Midlands, and South Eas terns remained at previous quotations. In the Foreign Market Royal Danish have de clined to 151; Sambre and Meuse to ilk 4 ; Great Luxembourg realise 141 141 ; and South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian have improved to 24.

The governor, in the hope of checking these terrible crimes, has declared that in future all incendiaries, or ac complices of incendiaries, who may be sentenced to hard labour, shall be sent to Toulon to undergo their punish ment. Canaries, thrushes, skylarks, pheasants, black birds, starlings, partridges, and quails are now flying wild all over the colony of Victoria, in Australia, ~~ .

English wheat, in the whole of the country markets held on Saturday, was very firm, and inmost transactions an advance of is per quarter took place in prices. Fine barley and oats, including beans and peas, realised full quotations, and for flour there was a steady demand, on rather higher terms. On the Continent the corn trade has ruled inactive, but without leading to any material change in prices. At New York, according to our latest advices, a fair business was doing in wheat, flour, and maize, for shipment to Great Britain. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. From foreign parts we received 14,439 quarters of wheat, 2,2E5 barley, 29,610 oats, 4,187 beans, 44 peas, 7,860 linseed, 2,080 rapeseed, 1,291 maize, 2,510 sundry, 6 sacks and 12,499 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very small, but the condition of the samples was tolerably good. Owing to the continuance of unfavourable weather, factors were very firm in their demands, and, compared with Monday last, an advance of 2s per quarter took place in the quotations. Generally speaking, however, the sup ply changed hands somewhat slowly. The show of samples of foreign m heat was seasonably good. All descriptions were in steady request, and the ourrenoies improved is to 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and prices had an upward tendency. The supply of English barley was small; of foreign moderate. Most kinds met a steady sale, and the quota tions were well supported. The malt trade was steady, at about previous rates. Foreign oats were in fair supply, but the show of home grown qualities was small, Fine samples fairly supported last week's currency ; otherwise, the trade was dull, on rather easier terms. Beans and peas ruled firm, at the extreme rates of Mon day last. Very little English produce was on offer. For flour there was a tolerably active inquiry, and the currencies had an upward tendency. rupTtspzo , PIER TILIPI7I7T AY.

Ns 391 METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on sale in our market to-day, and the whole of it found buyers at full prices. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotian the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only mo derate in number, but good, though not so say prime, in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, and short-horns moved off freely, and in some instances the quotations had an upward tendency, the former breed having realised 4s 10d per 81b ; otherwise, the beef trade was inactive at last Monday's currency. The supply from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire comprised 1,600 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from Lincolnshire, 150 short-horns ; from other parts of Eng land, 600 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 Scots and crosses. For the time of year, the show of sheep was moderately extensive, but really prime Downs and half-breds were rather scarce. Those breeds commanded a steady inquiry at extreme rates—the top figure for mutton being 55 per 81b ; but heavy sheep moved off slowly at barely late rates. Prime lambs were scarce, and in good request at very fill prices ; otherwise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish state at the late decline in value. About 300 lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves—the supply of which was moderato—moved off steadily at Thursday's currency, viz., from 4s to 68 per 81b. We have to report less firmness in the demand for pigs. In prices, however, very little change took place. Per Sib. to sink the oifal. s. d. B. d. s. d. s. d.

The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman, and Sheriffs. The calendar contains the names of 100 prisoners, some of the offences being of a very serious nature. There is but one indictment for murder, via., that against las. La wrence, whose trial was postponed from the last until the present session. There are three charges for manslaughte ea r, 3 for rm:tumm 7. y wounanig, r.. ...1—;„;a4-.47, poison, 1 for arson, and 4 for burglary ; the other charges oonsisting of those of the usual description. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, referred to the principal cases contained in the caelndar, and at the conclusion of the learned gentleman's address the jury re tired to their room, and in a short time the trials com menced. LIBEL. Mr. Mathew Orr, the printer and publisher of Orr's Kentish Journal, was indicte d for having published a libel reflecting upon a gentleman named Starke. The charge, it appears, arose ou t of an application made to a Kentish Board of Guardi ans by a female for the sup port of an illegitimate child. A re p ort of the application appeared in the Kentish Journal, in which it was stated that the father of the child was the prosecutor, who held a a respectable situation in Woolwich. This was altogether unfounded, and the present proceedings were instituted accordingly. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but produced witnesses to show how the report was inserted in the newspaper. The Recorder fined the defendant £2O. ROBBING EMPLOYERS, Samuel Berry pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a quantity of staples, taps, &c., the pro perty of the Imperial Gas Company. The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. POLICE- -- THIS DAY• MARLBOROUGH - STREE T. SUNDAY PREACHING IN HYDE-PARE.---" RAISING TIM WlND."—Andrew Balfour Hepburn, described as a public lecturer from the East end of the town, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging in Hyde-park on Sunday. Sergeant Charles Fraser, 11 A, said that yesterday after noon he saw the prisoner standing on a seat preaching to a crowd of about 100 persons. He was telling the people an anecdote about how he " raised the wind" in Scotland some years back, and after some further remarks, said he did not think he should " raise the wind" there, as the police were about. He than said he had lost the use of his arm and the sight of one eye, that he was not able to work and would not, and that he did not see any harm in the sight of God in taking money for his labour. He said he .did not ask for any money, but he would take all ho could get. The prisoner then held out his hand and received a shilling and a penny. He then --- --- took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner—You did not see me take a penny, for I did not get one on my oath in the park. It was a shilling and a sixpence I received. The penny I received outside the park gates. Officer—You got tho penny after the shilling. Another constable confirmed the first witness. Prieouel—What did you hear me preach about. Witness —Against Mormonism. Mr. 'William Henry Ayling, a gentleman, residing . in Somerset-street, Portman-square, said he gave the shilling, and perhaps had thus brought the prisoner into t,ouble. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the case as nvarly approached begging as possible, but he would discharge him this time, and he had better be careful for the future. Prisoner left the court, stating that he should continue to lecture, and should take all he could get. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON AN OLD MAN.—Thomas Dundan, a powerful rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following disgraceful outrage : G eo rge Hindes, of 7, Chaynos - r oad, Chelsea, a cab pro prietor, apparently nearly 70 years of age, said—On Thurs day morning week I was at Chelsea, near Duke-street. It was about six in the morning, and I was leading a horse to the farrier's to be shod. Suddenly a party of men came upon me, knocked the horse about, abused me, and struck me violently. Mr. Arnold—How many were there of them ? Complainant—About ten. Mr. Arnold—Did you see where they came from ? Complainant—They came from the direction of C remorne gardens, and the first thing they did was to interfere with the horse I was leading. Defendant and another man both stopped me and wanted to take the horse away from me, which I would not permit. Defendant then tried to get on the horse's back, and not succeeding in doing that, he began punching the horse violently in the stomach. I told him he ought not to do that, when he struck me a vio lent blow in the eye. I pointed the defendant out to a p o liceman,but he said he could not take him,as he had not seen him strike me. Mr. Arnold—Did you exhibit marks of the blow you had received ? Complainant—Yes ; and in a few minutes afterwards my eyo was entirely closed. Mr. Arnold—Did you gat the defendant's name ? Complainant—No; he went away. He has since been apprehended by description. Mr. Arnold--This was the very case in which the police ought, upon sight of recent injury, to have taken into cue ody. A. witness proved seeing the assault. Mr. Arnold—Was the defendant sober ? Complainant—Perfectly. Defendant—Others pushed w.e on to him. Mr. Arnold—Have you any witnesses? Defendant said he had not. oppor- He was remanded till We dnesday, to givehhn unity of calling any witness The new gun, shown in the Naval and Military Court by Sir William Armstrong, is a rued breech loading 70-pounder, but one in which the ellanab e h r ventpiece and sc rew are entirely dispensed There is no doubt esshatever but that the ventpiece and the movement necessary tO place and close it • are the least perfect parts of Sir William's inven tion as applied to very heavy breech - l oadin g ord nance.

Tl.e tu cotrcspouding shot and powder are then inserted in the o'tli nar Y way at the breech, and the foremost of the ea . :ding iron wedges we have mentioned draw n across so us to close the tube. The second and more massive wedge is then drawn into its position so as to jamb both tight, and the gun is ready for firing. By a simple but most ingenious :mechanical contrivance connected with the lock of the gun, which slides down a powerful steel bolt thai keys the two wedges together, the piece cannot be fired till both wedges are in their places, nor can they be withdrawn until this again is lifted. It is difficult to convey to the general readee a clear idea of this beautiful piece of mechanism, and we _fear our attempt to describe it has only made it seem A process to load the gun, w hen, in ra ther complex p rt „ i , uuiy 1 , 1 .764 o r cis. m ovements of the hand. are re quired to load a 100 or 150-pounder.

It has all the advatiP•ges as to range and strength of material of its previesas inventions. It is cheaper because simpler in its method of construction, and can be fired much more rapidly, as it dispenses with the hitherto awkward necessity of lifting in and out the breech iece `which was, iu fact, the only drawback on the P , use of his very heavy guns for sea service. This gun will, we think, before long supersede the first in vention as applied to the heaviest artillery, though the value of what we may now almost call the old method rema ins as gre at as ever for Hest ord or IS-pounder is a t riflin g matter, but the duty re -piece of te 12 nance. To lift i n and out the breech quires two men at the massive plug of a 100-p oun der, a calibre which promisee to become a compara tively light gun at the rate Sir William has been pee enssion. advancing lately. Near this gun are shown sec tions of shells of all sizes, both time and The time.shell is adjusted by distance—that is, the fuse is cut short to burst the charge so many ' e ever: sec ond r sec onds after it le aves the gun, representing a s p ace of 400 yards ; : Thus, after one or two shots for " rang s hell can be burst to a nicet y of 50 feet. The per' shell, as its name implies, explodes instan taneously on touching any obstacles after it leaves 1 the gun. To effect this two concussions are neces , vary. The first one, of immense force, takes place. at the discharge of the piece, which breaks a strong b r ass pin in the bas e of the shell, an d leaves it free l t o traverse up a hollow little tube to the top of the sone. The pin, while the shot is in full flight, re mains at the back, or bottom of the shell, but on the slightest check occurring to the flight of the projec tile it is driven to t he to p , and touc hes detona tin g li g hts and ex ' p plod e a s e r the so exquisitely these n in e i i t s i s v i e l stil 'nesl it an ousl So P care fully are the pal is adjustedthat nothi.ng but the Saney. t rem endous force of the discha r g e in the g• In will break the pin in t he first instance; and, afte a r I:.hat, touching a bag of shavin g s or a sheet of cnv harass e ' will suffice to ignite the shell, The burstiog cg of powder is very small —only sufficient p op rt ti e segm ents of cast iron of w hich it is built These are spread abroad like a fan by the rotatory mo tion of the shot, w hile they retain all the power of its onward velocity. The experiments tried with these shells ag eighainst t canv ass partitions of the size a h of companies of infantry have shown in theory that their destructive effects were terrible, and the practice gained by the experience of the Chinese war proved that they were infinitely more destructive to an enemy than they were even supposed to be. The percussion shell is now almost an old idea, but if Sir "William Arm strong had done nothing more than apply his scien tific principles to the construction and method of the bursting shells he wou ld hen earned all prais pere he has obtained in this country.
