LAW---THIS DAY. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Lord Citief Justice Erle, on taking his seat this morn ing, announced that the case of Tyschlinski v. Maltby, for which a special jury was summoned, had been withdrawn. CRIMINAL COURL.THIS DAY. OLD COURT. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. John Scotti ng, a letter-carrier, pleaded guilty to an in dictment charging him with stealing a letter containing two letters, each containing the half of a £lO note. The case was an aggravated one, the prisoner having, on getting the first half of the note into his possession, written a letter to the sender representing that the first portion had arrived safe, and requesting the other part of the note to be sent forthwith. The Recorder sentenced the pri,3oner to five years' penal servitude. Thomas Knott, letter-carrier, was charged with stealing a letter containing half a sovereign. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three years' penal servitude. ASSAULTING A POLICEMAN. Henry Bellmore was indicted for feloniously wounding Henry Smith with intent to do him some bodily harm. From the evidence it appeared that, on the morning of the 16th of May, the prosecutor, a police-constable, was on duty near George-street, Richmond, when his attention was attracted by a loud disturbance. He proceeded in the direction from whence the sound proceeded, and on coming to the entrance to a small court he turned on his lamp and found the prisoner. He asked what induced him to create the disturbance, when he commenced a violent attack on the constable, who drew his truncheon to protect himself. This the prisoner succeeded in wrenching from his grasp, and on getting it into his possession he beat the constable with such severity that he fell to the ground insensible, in which state he was discovered by some of the other witnesses some time after. The constable retained no recollection of the pri soner, and from certain information the police were sent to the Garibaldi beer-shop to secure the prisoner, but he hear ing the police were after him, managed to escape capture, but the constables discovered the prisoner's residence, and they proceeded thither and discovered him in bed. On being told of the charge he resisted being taken into cus tody on the ground that the police were nct armed with a warrant for his apprehension. The prisoner made a long rambling statement in his de fence. The Recorder having summed up, The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully wound- [lag. Sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. The common sergeant was occupied the whole of the morning in disposing of Mint prosecutions, none of which possessed the slightest interest. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. ALLEGED MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—SINGULAR CA.3IL-- Arthur Foster, of 10, Berkeley-street, clerk, a young man respectably connected, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £l5, the property of Teresa Cohn, a German girl, living at 22, Old Compton-street, Soho. Mr. Edwaid Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defence. The prosecutrix said that she met the prisoner on Wed nesday last at the Holborn Casino, and he accompanied her home and passed the night with her. While with her she had seen a pocket-book in his possession containing the portrait of a gentleman, and two duplicates relating to rings. In the morning the prisoner left, and after he was gone she missed the gold watch and chain of the value of £l5. Last night she met him in Coventry -street and gave him in charge, when he denied all knowledge of her. She told the police to see whether he had not a yellow pocket book with the portrait of a gentleman and two duplicates in it, and also a small black pencil with a gold point, and on the police searching him they found all the articles. Watson, 299 A, placed the articles before the prosecutrix, and she identified all the articles as those she saw. A young girl, servant at 22, Old Compton-street, said she was positive she had seen the prisoner in her mistress's room. Watson, 299 A, said the prosecutrix gave the prisoner in charge last night in Coventry-street, and the prisoner denied all knowledge of her. After taking him to the station he went for the servant girl, and she, on seeing the prisoner with five others, at once said she believed he was the man. The prisoner was then charged, and on his searching the prisoner the prosecutrix told him (Watson) to feel in the prisoner's coat pocket, and he would find a pocketbook, which he did. She then said he would find a portrait of a gentleman, and also two duplicates relating to two rings. He found them, but one of the duplicates was for a pin. He had made inquiries, and found that the prisoner lodged at 10, Berkeley-street, and also at 20, Little Queen-street. He also found on the prisoner a bag which the prosecutrix said he would find. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and said he should be able to show that the prosecutrix was mistaken altoge ther as to the prisoner, and that on the night in question the prisoner had not left his father's house. He should hereafter be able to prove an alibi. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, offering to take two sureties of £5O each for the prisoner's reappearance. WESTMINSTER. POCKETPICKING BY A FEMALE AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mar y Toberald, a respectably-dressed female, with an infant in her arms, was charged, before Mr. Arnold, with stealing a purse, in which were a 20 and a 10• franc gold piece, with other coin, from the person of Madame Irictoire Beauvais, residing at 27, Newman street, It appeared, from the evidence, that on the previous afternoon, about five o'clock, the complainant, who had come to this country with a party of excursionists to see the Exhibition, was in one of the annexes, when the pri soner, who was carrying an infant, went in front of her, and was observed by complainant's brother, who saw her trying complainant's pocket. After the prisoner left com plainant was .asked if she had lost anything. She felt in her pocket, and missed her purse. The prisoner was charged with having taken it, when a police-constable was called up. Upon his arrival the purse was picked up at the prisoner's feet. Police-constable 112 X, who had the prisoner in custody, produced the purse. The complainant identified it as that which was in her pocket, and said that it contained a 2s. and a 10 franc piece, with some silver coins, and some other articles. The prisoner, not being known, was remanded for in quiries to be made about her, and the purse with its con tents were returned to the complainant. MARKETS---THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

TEA.—There has been only a limited amount of business transacted, but prices generally are well sustained for good and fine descriptions. SUGAR.—The market has been drill, prices, however, have remained steady. In the refined descriptions a fair amount of business has been done at full price s . COFFER—For the superior qualities of colonial there has been more inquiry, and quotations in most instances show a slight advance. RICE —A rather large amount of business has been done at fully previous rates. SALTPETRE.--Business has been i nact i ve, and the few dealings recorded were chiefly at about former prices. TALLOW .—The market has continued Moderately active and prices are steady, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 475,, and last three months, 495. per cwt. Yesterday the MIDDLESEX. CORONERSHIP.—. poll ing commenced for the central district, at 8 o'clock, and at the final close, at 4 o'clock, Dr. Lankester was understood to have bean elected by a majority of from sto 18. In the early part of the day Mr. C. E. Lewis had, according to the the returns from his committee, a majority. At 2 o'clock the committee of Mr. C. E. Lewis made the return—Lewis, 894; Lankester, 806; majority for Lewis, 88. From 2 o'clock to the close of the poll no satisfactory account could be obtained. About 2,200 freeholders voted. Both candi dates have demanded a scrutiny, which the sheriffs of Lon don and Middlesex will proceed with this day (Tuesday), and the official state of the poll will be declared on Wed nesday, before 2 o'clock. The committee of Dr. Lankester claim a majority of 18, but the supporters of Mr. Lewis consider that it is not more than five. The expenses of this contest have been considerable on both sides, and as far as the central district is concerned the election may be consi dered in favour of the medical profession. On Monday next the question will be decided for the western district whether a medical or legal gentleman should hold the office of coroner. . _ In a financial sense the accounts from New York must be regarded as increasingly unfavourable, the ex change having reached 120 and the premium on gold 91 per cent. These movements, however, are merely such as might have been expected, considering the large issues of Government paper and the balance of indebtedness due from America to Europe. The amount of this balance is considerably increased by the dividends due the Ist instant on the mass of American securities in the hands of Euro pean holders. Here, the prices of American securities con tinue to show a downward tendency, the English public being still disposed to realise. CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST A. .REPORTER.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Andrew Gray, a reporter, appeared at Bow -street this morning, before Mr. Conic, on a summons charging him with having, on the Bth of June, unlawfully, wickedly, and maliciously published a certain false, scandalous libel, containing divers false, scandalous, and malicious matters and things of and concerning Henry Richard Phillips. Mr. Metcalfe, the barrister, appeared for Mr. Phillips, and, in opening the case, said the libel complained of ap peared in the Weekly Times newspaper on the Bth of June, and the learned gentleman then proceeded to narrate the facts connected with the recent inquiry which took place a short time ago at a coroner's inquest, held at Kensal green, in consequence of certain scandalous rumours in circulation against Mr. Phillips, the result of which was a decision that there was not the slightest foundation for the charges made against his client. An application had been made to the proprietors of the Weekly Times respect ing the libel, which appeared in their newspaper, headed "Alleged Murder by a Gentleman," and they furnished the name of the defendant as the person who had provided the manuscript of the article. Mr. Metcalfe then read the article, which he said had been written in the regular penny-a-line style, and calculated to inflame the public mind. Mr. Corrie—A "sensation" paragraph? Mr. Metcalfe said that was so, and having concluded read ing the article in question, said a more false and scandal ous charge, viz., that his client, Mr. Richard Phillips, had poisoned his wife and hastily buried her body to prevent discovery," could not be invented. He believed it would be said that there was no malice, and that the defendant was sorry, but as in consequence of the article Mr. Phillips's life had been jeopardized, the defendant must take the whole responsibility of his own act. He should, therefore, ask that the defendant might be fully committed to take his trial. Mr. Robert Palmer, sub-editor of the Weekly Times, said—l have seen the paragraph referred to in that news paper of that day, headed " Alleged Murder by a Gentle man." I produce the manuscript. It was furnished by Mr. Gray. It is in his handwriting, and signed by him. I altered the heading of the article from "Allegation' of Murder, &c., to "Alleged" Murder, &c. I also made some other alterations, but they were merely verbal. He brought the copy to me on a Friday night he said it was a very extraordinary case, and he was well aware of all the details. He said it had created a great sensation. He did not say where he had got the facts. He impressed upon me that it was a correct report and that he knew the details. Cross-examined—l have known the defendant for six or seven years. I have always taken his copy when it came in time. I did not look through the copy. He said I might rely on it. We have been threatened with an action for libel. I gave up the name of the defendant because it was applied for. It is usual to give up the rames of persons under such circumstances. I have been sub •editor for eight years, and the present is the only instance in which the name of the writer of an article has been applied for. lam certain it is tha usual practice in newspaper offices to give up the names of persons furnish ing certain articles. By Mr. Metcalfe—lf any other person than an accre dited reporter had furnished the copy of the article in question, I should not have inserted it. Mr. Beard addressed the bench for defendant, and urged that the object of Mr. Phillips would be accomplished without prosecuting the defendant, who had for 15 years been engaged as a reported on the London Press. Mr. Metcalfe persisted in asking for a committal. Mr. Conic then committed the defendant, but admitted him to bail, in his own recognisances of £lOO, to appear at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. DEATH OF GENERAL STERNE. (From the Dublin Freeman.) In our obituary column of this day will be found the announcement of the demise of this venerable and distin guished soldier, whose days ended in the Four Courts Marshalsea, Thomas-street, at the termination of 36 years' imprisonment. His career was a sad and an eventful one, and, closing as it did, after a protracted durance of more than half the lifetime of ordinary men, it is invested with a kind of melancholy interest. Peter Baker Demsterville Sterne was a descendent of Laurence Sterne, and entered the army at an early age in the service of the Mexican Go • vernment. He rose till he arrived at the rank of General, after having seen much active service. He returned to this country in or about the year 1824, full of hope and ambi tion, and being a man of high attainments and fine per sonal appearance, his society was much courted. An action was taken against him, in which a verdict was obtained by his opponent, and for the damages and costs of this action he was imprisoned in the year 1826. On entering the pri son, a fine-looking man, in the prime of life, he was under the impression that the term of his confinement would not extend beyond a few days. But days and years rolled on, and he still remained a prisoner. Debtors of all classes came to the prison and were discharged or died, but he remained, and hope deferred made the heart sick of the general. Those who had been imprisoned for debt years before, and who were again imprisoned, found the " general" in his old quar ters, pursuing his old simple habits, and going through the daily routine of prison life. After fifteen years' confinement he found that all belonging to him were dead and gone, and if he left the place in which he had so long resided he would be a perfect stranger in the world in his old age, and that all he knew or cared for were within his prison, for which he formed a kind of regard. For these reasons he never sought for his release, but continued to reside amongst those whose misfortunes, follies, vices, or extravagances made his immediate neighbours. He grew old in his prison home, and those who visited it were often struck with the imposing appearance of the old gentleman, with his long silvery hair and beard, who always observed the courteous though distant politeness of one who thoroughly respected himself. This respect he imparted to others, and was highly esteemed by all who came in contact with him. He was an infallible authority on every event that occurred within the prison for nearly half a century, and in his circumscribed perambulations he would from time to time give consola tion to some unfortunates, by telling of his own trials or those of others whom he had known in the prison, His bedroom was a curiosity, all hung round with newspapers, and the hangings of his bed were composed of old journals, in which were recorded circumstances referring to men and things long passed away and forgotten. The poor old prisoner peacefully closed his long and hidden life on Sa turday, after illustrating a strange and romantic chapter in the history of real life. RBITISH NPOSSESSIOS.

Mr. VILLIERS said he would consent to the introduc tion of words to the effect that the number of members con stituting a committee should not be less than one-third of the members of such committee. The clause with this amendment was agreed to. On clause 9, Mr. A. TURNER said that he considered this clause most objectionable, as it gave the board of guardians unli mited power in the appointment of any number of surveyors, and opened the door to great extravagance. He concluded by moving the omission of the clause. Sir L. PALK opposed the clause. If it was intended to secure an uniform and accurate valuation of parishes it should be effected by some well considered measure. Ho would support the amendment. Mr. BRUCE considered this objection applied to the clause 14, instead of the present clause. Mr. BARRON said he felt bound to support the clause, because the guardians being ratepayers would necessarily ratepayers would necessarily attend to their own interests. Lord HENLEY opposed the clause on the same ground as the hon. member the mover of the amendment, as tend ing towards the increase of the parochial expenditure. After some conversation, in the course of which Mr. VILLIERS said he would consent to such a modification in the clause as would meet the views of the hon. members who objected to it, and on that condition the amendment was withdrawn. The clause, with the modification proposed, was then agreed to. LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. ROYAL COMMISSION.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. EAST GLOUCESTER RAILWAY PETITION. Lord PORTMAN brought up the report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the charges against cer • tain parties for improper practices in getting up petitions against the bill. The report was ordered to be printed. It stated that the committee had examined William Isaacs, John Preston, Robert Longwood, William Massey, and Mr. Boodle, and they were of opinion that the object for which the signatures had been obtained had not been sufficiently explained to the parties, and the committee recommended all parties to act with more care for the future. POLITICAL PRISONERS AT NAPLES. The Marquis of NORMANBY called the attention of their lordships to the treatment of political prisoners at present in confinement in Naples, and moved for any in formation in the possession of her Majesty's Government on the subject. He stated that at this moment there were no less than 16,000 persons in the prisons at Naples for political offences, who were suffering every kind of misery and wretchedness. Such a state of things spoke for itself, and it was impossible to re concile it with the new system of government, based upon popular feeling of respecting the rights of the people. He wished also to point out another fact, that although the transfer of the government was said to have been effected by a national vote, there were only 28,000 electors out of a population of eight millions. He justified his motion on the ground that during the reign of the late King of Naples many returns of a similar nature had been granted by the Government, It might also be urged that this was a question which related only to the internal affairs of Italy, but for the last three years her Majesty's Government had constantly been in terfering with the minutest details of the internal administration of Italy and had closely identified itself and expressed its approval of the proceedings of the Italian Government. Earl RUSSELL believed that the former Government of Naples was as detestable a Government as ever existed, and he had always heartily rejoiced at its overthrow. What ever the noble marquis might say to the contrary, there could be no doubt that Italy was making great progress; and within a day or two he had heard that Russia and Prussia were disposed to recognise the new Italian king dom. As regarded the particular question to which his noble friend alluded, his knowledge was of the most meagre cha racter. He had not appointed any commission or agents to make inquiries, but Mr. Consul-General Bonham had in formed him that he had sent Mr. Douglas, a person in whom he had confidence, to institute an investigation, in consequence of Mr. Bishop's complaints of the treatment he had received in prison ; but it seemed that the only cause of complaint which Mr. Bishop had was his not being brought to trial. Her Majesty's Government agreed that this was a valid ground of complaint, and Sir J. Hudson had been instructed to make a representation to the Govern ment at Turin to that effect. He had since learnt that the list of the jury was to be completed on that very day, and that the trial would be immediately proceeded with. Of course he could not answer for the acts of Neapolitan gaolers for he knew well the sort of persons who had been employed by the late Government of Naples, and it would be prepos terous to suppose that these men would all at once become proper administrators of justice. He had no objection to produce the papers required by his noble friend. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH considered that their lordships were not entitled to interfere in a si m atter affected other than British subjects , It was dera ble whichnet to it was regard Italy as in a state of pupilage, shebut if however, he were not for us to be her censors or tutors. Of this was convinced,that there would be no felelisnLoef p l e e f ri t d a e l n t c e and no good government in Ita l y , was gether to the management of her w Lord BROUGHAM genera ll y incurre d in the observa tionsoun e affairs.s of his noble friend who had a just spoken, d the kingdom and inquired if it were true that Russ ia had acknowledged c e e cla fr r o e ra d h th er e of Italy.

Lord AM rejoiced to hear it, an d h oped that nothing W ould happen to place any ob s t ac l e i n the way of t h e se-- u Zgment of the new It a li an ki ngdom by the powers of Europe. The Earl of HARROWBY expressed an opinion that since the recent political changes the condition of the whole of Italy had greatly improved. The brigandage of which so much had been said was confined to five out of fifteen provinces. The insurgents did not number more than a thousand, and the Piedmentese force was amply sufficient to put them down. He understood, moreover, that the bri gands were not led by Neapolitan, but by Spanish officers. The Marquis of NORMANBY having replied, the mo tion for papers was arsreed to, and the subject dropped. The Game Laws (No. 2) Bill and the Crown Private Estates Bill passed through committee. The Courts of the Church of Scotland Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —YESTERDAY. The SrEkaiEß. took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered, and the bills were ordered for third :reading : Berwickshire Railway—Bishops Waltham Railway— Crystal Palace and South London Junction Railway— North Eastern and Newcastle-upon-Tyne and C arlisl Railway Companies Amal g amat ion — North Eastern Rol e way (Blaydon to Conside—Tupten and Ashover and Birk in Lane Roads. TUE BURIAL BILL. Several peti'dons were presented against this bill. ROYAL COMMISSION. The mew .h ers of th e h ouse were summoned to the House oiLortleCoim ri 4. y - r-v u. l . vlaxEcatp, the Xeonlez Cella of the Black Rod, to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords' report. COMPLAINTS OF JOURNEYMEN BAKERS. In reply to Mr. K INNAIRD, Sir G. GREY said that the report of Mr. Aymour Tremenhere, who was appointed in July, IS6I, to inquire into the complaints of the journeymen bakers of London, would be shortly delivered, and it was intended to extend the inquiry, if required, to Ireland and Scotland. INDIA. In answer to Mr. KINNAIRD, Sir C. WOOD eaid that no alteration had taken place with reference to the subject of rescinding certain laws in force, which connected the Government with the special carp of lands belonging to Mahommedan mosques and temples. However, two bills had been introduced into the Indian Legis:ature on the subject. STEAM PACKET PIER AT HOLYHEAD. In reply to Mr. HERBERT, Lord C. PAGET said that it was the intention of the Government to proceed with the works on - the Steam-pac ket Pier at Holyhead without unnecessary delay. IMPORT OF FOREIGN PAPER. In reply to Mr. TURNER, Mr. M. GIBSON said that the imports of foreign paper during the last few months had been so fluctuating that they could scarcely be entitled to a place in the list of prin cipal articles imported into this country. THE YOUGHAL UNION. In answer to Mr. BUTT, Sir R. PEEL said that the returns relative to the chap laincy of the Youghal Union, which had excited so much interest in that neighbourhood, and which had been ordered by the house on the 6th ult., would be laid on the table of the house in about a fortnight. IRISH BUSINESS. Mr. SCULLY said that he felt so much and so deep ly on the subject of Irish bills—(l aug h ter)—that he would avail himself of the present opportunity to bring the sub ject before the house. (Order.) He would put himself in order by moving that the house adjourn. (Laughter.) lion. members might laugh, but he would avail himself of the forms of the house to express his opinions. He contended that there had been delay on the part of Government in proceeding with Irish business. (Cries of " hear, hear," and " no.") He considered that the present Chief Secre tary for Ireland was unqualfied for his office, and passed an eulogium on his predecessor (Mr. Cardwell), who during his tenure of office, had won the esteem and confidence of the people of Ireland. Sir E. PEEL said that he would not enter into the per sonal matter introduced by the hon. and learned member for the county of Cork, but he could assure the house that there was no wish on the part of the Government to delay legislaiion in respect to Ireland. It was his intention to proceed with the Irish bills before the house as speedily as possible. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Lord J. MANNERS moved the omission of clause 34, which enacted that no buildings should be erected on the ground abutting on the embankment without the consent of the Chief Commissioner of Works to the plan thereof. Mr. COWPER supported the clause ; and after some discussion the committee divided, and the amendment was negatived by 162 to 145. The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses having also been agreed to, Mr. AYRT ON proposed the addition of a clause providing that in case the societies of the Inner and Middle Temple should not admit the public freely to the use of their gardens the land to be given them under the bill should become vested in the Board of Works for the purposes of public recreation. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the clause, and explained the nature of the arrangements made by the benchers for the admission of the public at seasonable hours to their gardens. On a division the clause was rejected by 139 to 18, and the bill passed through committee. FORTIFICATIONS BILL. On the order for going into committee on the Fortifica tions (Provision for Expenses) Bill, Mr. LINDSAY moved as an amendment, "That it is expedient to postpone the consideration of further expendi ture upon the proposed fortifications authorised by this bill until there have been laid before the house copies or extracts of reports from our naval attache at Paris, showing the state of the French navy from time to time, at intervals not exceeding three months, during the years 1860 and 1861." Lord C. PAGET opposed the amendment, and argued that the iron-cased navy of France was making such great advances as to render the measures which her Majesty's Government were adopting absolutely necessary. Those measures were, in fact, regulated by information in the truth of which the utmost confidence might be reposed. Mr. COBDEN protested against the vague generalities in which the Government indulged upon this subject, and declared that during the 12 years of the Imperial regime the French navy bore a far less proportion to that of England than in the time of Louis Philippe ; and that we had spent upon the navy double what France had upon hers in that period. Alluding to the frequent recurrence of invasion panics, the hon. member charged Lord Palmerston with levity and indiscretion in the statements he had made in that house, and observed that he held the noble viscount to, a great extent responsible for those absurd and groundless alarms. Sir J. PARINGTON said he had never heard a speech from Lord Palmerston upon the subject of the relative strength of the navies of France and England which was not only free from vagueness and exaggeration, but that was not perfectly accurate. The remarks of Mr. Cobden had nothing more to do with the question at issue than if he had drawn a comparison between the navies of England and Spain at the time of the Armada. Nothing, indeed, could be more fallaclous and deceptive than to institute a comparison between the navies of England and France, founded solely upon a statement of the money expended within a given period, the rate of wages and the price of every element which entered into ship-building being so wholly different in the two countries. At this moment France was ahead of England in iron-plated ships, and it behoved her Majesty's Government not to discontinue or relax in their efforts to place our military and naval defences on a proper footing. Lord PALMERSTON, replying to Mr. Cobden's charges, said that he received them with the utmost pos sible quietness, and that differing as he did from him in his views, he was proud to be the object of the hon. member's censure. The idea by which he (Lord Palmerston) wa actuated seemed never to have entered into the fertile brain of the hon. member. That idea was that Englani oughtto Ibe defended; that our navy could not exist withon . adock yards, and that those dockyards ought to be placed_n e f . o nt sition to be secured against any sudden attack. Th sion which made him utterly unfit to be listenedt He was no was, the hon. member was in a state of blindness antodbdyetli..he country as an adviser on matters of this t o so n r s 0 _ a doubt a good authority upon questions I naval and com mercial nature, but in military subjects the honcurab m ember went beyond erepidam,counsellor. The noble speakieing dangerous a dhered to the statements occasions, with regard to lord wh further rht he eharandrde made eaeedr most that o hr t eisv h o u s e country and France. Granted VMS no likelihood. at the present moment of a t th h e at r t e h la e t re ive strength o countries, yet that was the very the interval why we should employ of peace and reason in putting ourselves in a situation to be prepared for amity war between the two any contingency that might happen. The namendment of Mr. Lindsay was then withdrawn ) and the bill passed through committee. The Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill and the Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill were read a second time. The order for the Markets and Fairs (Ireland) Bill—a Government measure—was discharged and the bill with drawn. The remaining business was also disposed of, and the house adjourned. THE REVIEW AT WIMBLEDON. The review of Volunteers at Wimbledon on Saturday, the 12th inst., will commence b e t ween 5 and 6 p.m. Corps which have received the Secretary of State for War's per mission to attend should be on the ground at five o'clock, or as soon after as possible.—War-office, 7th July, 1862. The Sir George Pollock has arrived from Nelson, New Zealand, with £lO,OOO in gold. According to advices received at Lloyd's there is reason to believe that the screw steamer Jason, from Calcutta to London, was aground on St. Ann's Shoal, Cape Raxo, Africa,"on the 30th May, but was floated after throwing over b oar d her guns and about 50 tons of carge, when she proceeded to the Ca p e de Verds, whence au 0 sailed again on the 17th June.
