The LiberU thinks it would be vain to hope that the parliamentary regime in France will be the same as in England or in Belgium. Still it has confidence that the pledges of the Imperial Message via be faithfully fulfilled. It was rumoured yesterday in official circles that the task of framing the decree has proved an arduous one, and that the presence of M. Rouher at the Ministerial deliberations was a drawback. The Ministers are evidently apprehensive of the influence of the ex-Minister with the Emperor, and they are natu• rally considerably embarrassed by the presence among them of a statesman who has always opposed the reforms which they are discussing. The Presse states that it was never contemplated by the Ministers to reserve to the Senate the right of regulating amendments and questions, and that the new Chamber will under these heads have the full privileges of the elective assem blies of the Constitutional Monarchy and of the Republic. The supposed liberal intentions of the Government have occasioned great alarm among some timorous senators who presented themselves yesterday at-St. Cloud to express their apprehensions to the Emperor, whose intentions were probably not much affected thereby. It is reported that among the forthcoming changes will be the admission of military officers in active service to the Corps Legislatif. The Figaro publishes an outline of the proposed con sessions, which must, however, be received with reserve. The principal items of this list are the parliamentary responsibility of the Ministry as a whole, independently of the personal responsibility of individual Ministers ; the election of the Corps L6gislatif of its own president, vice presidente, and secretaries; and the removal of the present disqualification of Ministers, military and naval officers of high rank, members of the Court of Cessation, and legal dignitaries for the office of Deputy. The Temps remarks that a Liberal fever appears to have seized a portion of the Senate, and that even M. Charles Dupin himself has regained the fervour of his youth. Manifestoes are the order of the day. M. Barth6lern, Saint Hilaire has favoured the electors of Seine et-Oise with six columns of print. It is time, he says, to close the era of revolutions, and the present is one of those happy occasions when reforms can be effected which pre vent catastrophes. M. Gambetta has issued an address to the electors of the first circumscription of the department of the Seine, in which he chews little satis faction at the concessions of the Emperor. Elected by two places at once, he chose Marseilles, he tells them, in the interest of Democratic principles, since Marseilles, no less than Paris, is the capital of the French democracy. M. Gambetta expresses great regret at his own untimely illness, which prevented him from taking an active part in those proceedings in the Chamber in which he took so deep an interest; hut he looked confidently for vigorous and united action on the part of the members of the Left, whose duty it was to sbew the country their real grievances, to strip the mask and denounce the tactics of those in power,to appeal to the press, and to assume an attitude worthy of Radical France. He is grievously disappointed at the inaction of the Left, who declare that they are powerless to produce a united protest. This is attributed by M. Gambetta to the want of organisation in the party, and be asserts that to avoid a similar collapse in the future it is necessary to organise a party exclusively composed of men of the same principles. The Left mtut reunite the whole strength of the party out of doors as well as in the Chamber, including all prominent Radicals in letters, arts, science, in the press, and in commercial and industrial pursuits, by which means public opinion will be influenced, and France taught to govern herself. M. Gamier Pages, presents a very brief address to his electors, in which, like the other Democrats, he expresses his disgust at the abrupt prorogation of the Chambers, repeats his profession of Democratic principles, and pro tests against the abuse of personal power, declaring that the nation has the sole right to form its own Constitution. A singular story is current respecting the title of the Prince de la Tour d'Anvergne, who has just been ap pointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is said that he has no right to his title, the use of which bad been interdicted to him and his family. However, this statement is con tradicted, and legal details given in the Droit, so that we may hope the Prince will escape the threatened Incon venience. A duel came off at Chantilly on Tuesday between Mr. Reginald Russell and M. de la Poeze, It was settled that the contest should continue until one of the men was disabled. Small swords were chosen, and the combat commenced on the word " alley " being given. M. de Poeze was immediately wounded hut continued fighting, nor did a second wound induce him to desist. Mr. Russell, finding himself hardly pressed, made a successful lunge, and wounded the Frenchman in the chest. The affair was ended by the fall of M. de la Poeze. Ile is not in danger, although he has been slightly touched in one of the lungs. The heroine of the quarrel has gone to Germany. Count d'Haussonville is about to publish the fourth volume of his " History of the Roman Church and the First Empire." It contains many curious and hitherto unpublished documents, which will throw light on the relations of Pius VII. and Napoleon I. The silk-dressers of Lyons, who had struck for a diminu tion of the hours of labour, have resumed work, having come to terms with their masters. Vclocipedists will not be complimented to learn that they are to be subjected to a tax. of £2 as Isma il two. wheeled vehicles with one horse ! The young man whom I mentioned the other day as attacking a barrister who offended him,has been sentenced to two months' imprisonment, the bench being uninfluenced by his tears and professions of regret. A singular accident occurred at Buenos Ayres o❑ the 21th of Mny at the fete given in commemoration of the anniversary of the declaration of freedom. An aeronaut nd'med M. Ilaraille made an ascent in a balloon from the centre of the Plaza. It remained stationary over the city for some time, there being no wind, and on descending fell into the harbour. A number of boats and a steamer put off to the rescue of the aeronaut, who was drowning in his car. By some misfortune, the balloon, in rolling about, came in contact with the funnel of the steamer, and, the gas getting ignited, exploded with terrible force, blowing the crew overboard, as also those in the boats. The steamer was set on fire and sustained much damage. Eight persons were fatally injured, and twenty five were much burned and injured. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1869.

Their lordships to-day gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal against a decree in the Divorce Court, pronounced on the 27th of Dec., 1860 ; the ques-. tion being whether William Sheddan and Ann Wilson, the parent of the appelant, were legally married accord ing to the law in New York; and also whether William Shoddan, the appelant was legitimate, and a natural born subject of her Majesty. The contention was that William Sheddan and Ann Wilson were not so married. The Lord Chancellor said it had been thought right to take time before pronouncing judgment, in order that they might have an opportunity to go through the enormous mass of documents which were placed before them. For the first three or four days of the argument Miss Sheddeu addressed herself to a certain extent to the case before the house, but the greater portion of the time had been wasted. The case itself was reduceable to the simplest proportions, whether or not the corr spondenco which took place in 1798 in the lifetime of William Shod den, in respect of which the appellant seeks to establish that he was her father, whether that correspondence, just at the close of his life, was a genuine correspondence. His lordship then proceeded to read through portions of the correspondence, but was constantly interrupted by Miss Shedden. After repeated interruptions his lordship said, '• Mize Shedden, if you interrupt me I must order you out of the house." Tile Lord Chancellor then said ho had real every letter through, and I ani of opinion that the whole of the correspondence is genuine. Miss Shedden—My lords, I The Lord Chancellor—Sit down, sit down; if you in terfere again I will give orders to remove ycu. lam de termined that my judgment shall not be as long as your arguments. His lordship then proceeded to comment upon the correspondence, and also to various portions of the transactions between the Patricks and the Sheddens. There was no doubt, be said, that William Patrick had been placed in ri delicate position, but that his conduct had not been improper, but quite the reverse. Miss Shedden again interrupted. The Lord Chancellor—Your observations are most im proper, Miss Shedden. Again, I say, sit down. His lordship then proceeded to comment upon the evidence ad duced in the Court below, and ultimately his lordship meved that the appeal be dismissed. Lord Chelmsford then proceeded to read his judgment, but his lordship was continually interrupted by Miss Shedden. After submitting some time to the interruption his lordship said, Miss Shedden, I must order you to re main quiet. Miss Shedden —I object, my lord— Lord Chelmsford— I am quite certain you will object to every word I utter, but I am giving my judgment on the case. I have listened to you for 20 days, and I think you ought to hear what I have to say for at least a fraction of that time. His lordship again proceeded, and on arriving at that point in which he dealt 'a ith the letter of the 12th November, 1798, which he thought most conclusive, Miss Shedden—Forgery ! Forgery, all Lord Chelmsford—Will you be quiet ? Will you sit down ? Miss Shedden (excitedly)—No, I will not. I will not allow such observotions to pass unchallenged. Lord Chelmsford then again proceeded with his judg ment, and concluded by saying that the marriage in ques tion was not a valid one, and that the appellant was not the legitimate son of William Shedden and Ann Wilson, and that therefore the judgment of the Court below was correct, and that there was no g - round for granting the application for a new trial. The appeal must therefore be dismissed with costs. Lord Colonsay was about to deliver his judgment, Miss Shedden—l object to you, my lord, as a judge in this case. I throw myself now upon God and my country. The Lord Chancellor—Miss Shedden ; if you rise again I must order you to be taken out. Miss Shedden then resented herself, and appeared to be entirely overcome. A little water was handed her by one of the gentlemen at the bar, and after some time she re vived and again seemed to direct herself most intently to the observation of the noble and learned lords. The Lord Chancellor then put the motion for the dis missal of the appeal with costs, which was agreed to. Miss Shedden—l protest against the judgment. God alone is my hope. May I say one word ? The Lord Chancellor said tho casa had now passed from the hoes•,, and all the documents would be returned to the proper persons. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY BRALLES AND STOCKS. ihare Railways. Paid.

The matter was wholly under the direction of the Master of the Horse. THE CORONATION OATH. Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Attorney-General whether it be the fact that by reason of the late repeal of the Legislative Union of the Churches of England and Ireland the statutory form of the Coronation Oath, so far as it related to the United Church of England and Ireland was virtually repealed ; aad if so, whether it be intended to submit to Parliament any measure whereby a now form of oath may be substituted for the same. The AT rOIINEY-GENEHAL said ho had to say, in answer to the question of the hon. member, that the words of the oath to be taken at the Coronation were not prescribed by any act of Parliament. There were two acts of Parliament that made reference to the matter, but prescribed no form ; the latter, the sth of Queen Ann, re lative to the altered state of affairs by the union of Eng land and Scotland. On the accession of George IV. some further alteration was made in accordance with the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canter bury on the union of the two churches of Eng land and Ireland. On the accession of the pre sent Sovereign the nature of the Coronation Oath was again considered by the Privy Council, and altera tions made to meet the altered circumstances of the coun try. Therefore if the Privy Council had power to change the oath to meet the case of the two Churches, it appeared to him to possess the power to alter it again to meet the case of a separation of those two Churches. No Act of Parliament was necessary to effect a change, and there fore it was not the intention of the Government to in troduce any bill on the subject. COALHOUSE FORT. Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to Capt. Beaumont, said it had been decided to mount the guns forming the arma ment of Coalhouse Fort on the Moncrieff gun carriages. THE MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said he regret ted it would not be possible for the Government to con fer any special powers on the agent proceeding on the part of the bondholders to the Mexican Government. The Government, however, without interfering, felt the just ness of the claims of the bondholders, and it would give great pleasure to hear that those claims had boon fully re cognised and liquidated. ADMIRALTY CONTRACTORS. BAXTER, in reply to Sir J. Hay, said he must decline to lay on the table a list of names of the contrac tors with the Admiralty, the contracts in force, or the penalties that had been paid for non fulfilment. Such a return would ba highly objectionable, and prejudicial to tho public service. ALTERATIONS IN THE HOUSE. Mr. LA.YARD said he hoped before the close of the ses sion to st.►te the alterations that it was proposed to make in the house, as the matter with respect to the dining rooms had been settled with the Lords. He also hoped to be able to improve the ventilation of that part of the building used by. the representatives of the press. TILE ARMY IN JAPAN. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Colonel NORTH brought under the consideration of the house the presant position of the offi•zers of the army stationed in Japan as to pay and allowances ; and asked what grounds the Lord 3 of the Treasury had refused to carry out the recommendations of the Secretary of State for War and of his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, that the rates allowed for Japan should be assimilated to those granted in China. Mr. STANSFELD said, in reply, that the increased pay given to the troops in Hong Kong was granted solely on account of the trying nature of the climate, as com pared with that of Japan. THE CORONATION OATII. Mr. CHARLEY then called the attention of the house to the Coronation Oath, which he looked upon as one of the balwarks of the Constitution. He begged to ask whether the Government would introduce a short bill explaining the nature of the Coronation Oath. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, there being no difficulty in the construction of the Coronation Oath, there would be no need to intro Etc.) any measure on the sub ject. ' SUPPLY. The house then wont iuto Coturnatee of Supply, and Mr. AYRTUN proceeded to move the C►vil Service adanittes. Ou the voto for diplomatic and consul:ir services, ➢lr.

A DISTRESSING STORY IF TRUE.—William and Ann Johnson, the former wearing the uniform of the IGth Lancers, and the latter respectably dressed, were charged before Mr. Knox with begging. William Hewitt, officer of the Mendicity tociety, said that about 10 o'clock laLt night he was in Tottenham court-road when he saw tbo female prisoner place a card round the neck of tho male prisoner, who had a shade over his eyes. [The card had printed on it the following words :—" Kind Friends I am a poor discharged soldier. After serving nine years I was discharged with 6d. a-day pension for six months. lam blind and now unable to work.") In answer to Mr. Knox, the prisoner said that he was invalided from the 16th Lancers on the 14th October from Bungalore. Mr. Knox said that, blind or not blind, if the prisoners came to the court again he would have to do what he should be very reluctant to do, namely, to send them to prison for a month. They would ba now discharged. T HAIIES. John Anderson, a beer-seller, keeping an ale and boer_ house, St. George-in-the-East, was charged by Inspector Rouse, of the K division, with violating the conditions by supplying malt liquors to customers during the hours on Sunday, the 4th instant. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, on the part of the defendant, pleaded guilty, and said the offence was committed through a mistake. The door was loft open accidentally, and people entered the house at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock, against the will of the defendant. Inspector Rouse said the defendant had been convicted a great many times for violating law ; there were two con victions of £3 each against him and several of 205., 30s . and 40s. Mr. Paget fined the defendant 205., which was paid. MARKE7 5-2 1115 DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. July 30.—Sales probably 12,000 bales.
