Before closing these remarks we would earnestly direct the attention of those among oux readers who are now closely -watching the progress of events in Southern Italy-:—to facilitate their appreciation of the force 'and rela tive bearing of those events by as frequent reference as may be practicable to maps of reliable authenticity.

It will be in the remembrance of many that a Com mission especially organised to inquire into this subject was appointed about a year since at the instance of the Right lion. JONATHAN PEEL, late Secretary of State for War under the Earl of DERBY'S Administration, The Commissioners have sat since then " many a time and oft," have entered vigorously and determinedly upon the labours of their investigation, and have at length, after mature consideration, drawn up those reports which have been very recently laid before Parlia mcnt. Their "reports," we say advisedly, for the inquiry has been conducted to a conclusion so con- scientiously that actually two reports, instead of the " one " customary document, will be found by the general public to have resulted from the per severing and protracted toil of the Commission. A minority of one—Mr F. ELLIOTT to wit—somewhat reminding us of the " procession of one" formed by the stately and awful Mrs. HOMINY in Martin Chuzziewit—having supplemented the collective report of his colleagues (the majority) by a second enunciating his own individual opinions in regard to the particular problem under examination. Combining these two important reports, however as the optician combines the lenses in the forma tion of a telescope, we seem to get nearer to the remote and scattered subjects under scrutiny— examining each in turn with a more distinct appre ciation of all of them together, and with a more vivid apprehension of facts hitherto in many in- stances but dimly seen, some of them even to the generality but little more than faintly conjectural. It is—in consequence of these double reports of the Commission set on foot by General PEEL — distinctly recognised at last, how urgent the necessity is now thrusting upon us continu ally with increasing force, the long suspected but at length sufficiently obvious requirement for some total and immediate change being adventured upon in the matter of our colonial military expenditure. For, what are some among the principal facts and figures now flooded upon this question through the inquiry of these commissioners ? It appears, then, to begin with, that the military charges for her fifty colonies cost England upon the year 1857-1858 precisely £3,968,599, or very little short indeed of the round sum of £4,000,000 sterling. In other words, we paid then during the narrow compass of a single twelvemonth for the defence of our half-hundred colonies over one entire quarter of our enormous military expenditure of £15,000,000. And how much, it may be asked, out of these £4,000,000 paid down for the military defence of those fifty British colo nies, how much of those £4,000,000 was contri buted within that year (1857-1858) by the colonies themselves ? How much ?—not .£400,000 ! To be exact, just £378,253 Here is the root of the whole difficulty. Here is good ground to work upon in the grand new cause of retrenchment. Do we complain of the monstrous outlay yearly during a time of peace, the extravagant and prodi gal disbursement of £15,000,000 per annum upon our military establishment ? Here is a ready means opened to us for the lightening of those particular " fardels" of ours by an odd million or two. For it is perfectly obvious by this time to the people as well as to Parliament, to the Commons themselves as well as to the Commissioners, that while it is of course our duty and interest to support a struggling colony in its infancy, the duty of its military defence devolves after a while from the old mother country to the population of the parti cular colony called by her protective influence into existence. There is no reason why the vast majo rity of the new colonies should " not" hence forth be required to defend themselves. There are divers good reasons at once add Liftable to prove that they "should," and to prove this to demonstration. These reasons are many of them given succinctly and overwhelm ingly in the reports of the Commissioners. To those reports we may take an early opportunity of reverting. Here at any rate we particularise a few out of our fifty colonies, which may be treated dif ferently, inasmuch as they are of a wholly excep tional character. These are, however, in simp,e truth, little better than military strongholds, "gar risoned," rather than peopled, with colonists. Our enumeration of a few amongst them will testify at once the accuracy of our description in this parti cular. Gibraltar for example, and Malta, the three hundred islands of " the still vexed Bermoothes," and the rocky cone of St. Helena. Yet upon the military defence of these garrison -colonies there was spent during the year already specified more than one-fourth of the dreadful aggregate of £3,968,599—in other words, a round sum of £1,166,903. And of this £1,166,900, there was no more than the small sum—what MONTAGUE TIGG would call "the ridiculously small amount"—of £25,855 contributed by the garrison colo nies themselves. Even under this one ex ceptional class, therefore, there is " room and verge enough" for improvement. Haw much more, however, is there under all the other classes of all the remaining British Colonies, towards the military defence of which, during that one year, '57, '5B, there was contributed nearly £3,000,000 — something, at any rate, over £2,800,000. Not one sixpence of which, in point of fact, need have been required from the Imperial coffers of the old father land. Eighty years ago the grandest of all our British Colonies signalised thenceforth a truth, utterly beyond the chance of ever being gainsaid with impunity by our Government—the truth enunciating the just principle that the mother country had no right to fill her own exchequer by taxing her remote dependencies. As a pendant to that great truth, to that just principle, chivalrously maintained at the point of their good swords by WASIIINGTON and his compatriots, in the renowned American War of Emancipation—might we not wisely now proclaim a principle quite as just in itself ? Might we not echo back upon our colonies as important a truth in its way—namely, that Eng land ought not longer to be held almost entirely responsible for the military defence of our colonies, Commence at 7.

LoNnow, WI4:DNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1860. Lord PALMERSTON spoke out last evening as Lord PALM ERSTON could alone be expected to speak out in reference to the past, present, and future of the Neapolitan Government. His MAJESTY (now only nominally) of the Two Sicilies will be enabled to see from this how much support or countenance he is likely to obtain from England, in his struggle with that revolution within his own dominions which he himself has provoked. He will be enabled at once to appreciate the futility of half, at least, of his present diplomatic appeal ad dressed simultaneously to the courts of St. James's and the Tuileries. The Prime Minister said but few words last evening in regard to this forlorn hope of BOMI3I sent in quest of succour—but they were words of the weightiest significance. We understand, he said we, the Government of England, understand that the Neapolitan Government has despatched two diplomatic agents, the one to Paris, the other to London —diplomatic agents who may very shortly—perhaps even within two days—be expected to arrive at their respective destinations, for the purpose of making some com munication [nothing more definite than that is yet known about them—some communication] to the allied Governments. Having intimated which, in fewer words even than those in which we have here given the announcement, Lord PALMERSTON added,—" I trust the house will not for a moment doubt that in communications which may be made to that envoy we shall express those feelings which her MAJESTY'S Government, in common with every one in this country, feel in regard to the barbarities committed at Palermo—barbarities which are really disgraceful to the present age and civilisation of Europe." It is thus by anticipation even, and in these strong terms, that the British Government, through the mouth of its Ministerial chief, repro bates that cruel and wanton bombardment of the defenceless city of Palermo, by which the Royal Navy of the King of NAPLES despicably strove to avenge upon a throng of civilians of all ages and of both sexes the ignominious defeat of the Royal Army (from 20 , 000 t o 25,000 —strong ? shall we say, or weak) by the little band of " bri gands," led on by the consummate daring of GARIBALDI. Having thus plainly enough ex pressod his opinion in respect to the bombard ment, the Premier added scornfully—" With re gard ti) any expectations that such representations may have any beneficial effect upon the future con- duct of the Government of Naples I cannot venture to lead the house to entertain any sanguine hopes." On the contrary, the noble viscount acknowledged that it was " far more likely" that the course pur sued :by the Neapolitan Government would be diametrically the reverse of what might here be desired almost unanimously, and that instead of witnest ing the disgrace and degradation, we should witness the reward and promotion, of the very officers - who have committed these atrocities. As to the forlorn condition in which the Kir g of Naples will now kind hilaself, let Lord PAL . mxILSTON'S sub sequent rt marks speak for themselves! " We know," he said, " that the Neapolitan Government has ap plied for assistance to its foreign allies—that is, to guarantor: the p,s „ A ossesi t ion of the Two Si e ili cs to the King of NATL the next sentence—" Austria has positively- and peremptorily refused to interfere at all in the affairs of Naples "—the House cheered At the next—" h ave every reason to believe t hat the determix,stion of the French Government THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1860. LATEST N E W b. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : NAPLES, JUNE 12. It is officially stated that two steamers, having on board troops and ammunition, have been cap tured by Neapolitan ships of war. Naples continues tranquil. TURIN, JUNE 12. M. de Martino, the Neapolitan envoy, is en trusted with detailed instructions for brief and urgent negotiation's with the Emperor Napoleon. The following are the bases on which the King of Naples consents at least for the present to an ar rangement with the Sicilian insurrectionists : Francis 11. is ready to engage himself to grant a liberal constitution on the broadest basis to Sicily, to be also applied to the whole kingdom. Should the Sicilians desire a distinct and inde pendent existence, the King would extend his con cessions so far as to place Sicily in a position simi lar to that of the Duchy of Luxembourg. The attitude of Count Cavour leaves, however, little hope of a solution favourable to the King of Naples. Garibaldi being triumphant Count Cavour now requests the Cabinet of the Tuileries to adopt, in regard to Sicily, the policy followed in reference to Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and the Legations. This request has only been confidently made to the Emperor Napoleon. Count Cavour has addressed an official despatch to the Chevs/ior Nigra, who communicated its con tents to M. Thouvenel about four days ago. In this despatch Count Cavour expresses a hope that France will not in any way interfere in the affairs of Sicily. He reminds the French Cabinet that the principle of non-intervention in Italy, as contained in the celebrated note of Lord John Russell, has been officially accepted by the French Government. TURIN, JUNE 12. The Marquis Forrearra, Marquis Rocaforte, and Count Manzoni, Sicilian Emigres, have gone to Palermo. PARIS, JUNE 13.

The French laws and constitution will come into operation on the Ist January, 1861. To-morrow the Bourse will be closed. TURIN, JUNE 12. The Marquis Forrearra, Marquis Rocaforte, and Count Manzoni, Sicilian emigres, have gone to Palermo. VIENNA, JUNE 13. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day contains an Imperial decree, granting to the Central Lombardo- Venetian Congregation a decisive instead of a de liberative vote upon all matters, except, however, upon such administrative questions as affect the rights of the Government—namely, the appropria tion of the proposed expenditure, and the revision of the provincial treasury accounts. The Commission appointed for examining the public debt has presented to the Emperor a gene ral report on the state of the whole public, debt of the empire. This report will be published shortly. PARIS, JUNE 12. In official quarters it is stated that the approach ing interview of the Emperor Napoleon with the Prince Regent of Prussia and other German sove reigns was proposed by the Emperor with the ob ject of calming the uneasiness of the German people, and of re-establishing the international re lations of the two countries, France and Germany, on a basis of mutual and absolute confidence. GENEVA, JUNE 12. The Emperor will pass through Strasburgh at five o'clock on Friday evening, on his way to join the Prince Regent at Baden-Baden, and will pre serve the strictest incognito. NAPLES, JUNE 10. Count Aquila, uncle of the King, strongly in sists that an Italian policy and liberal institutions should be carried' out, and hopes that his policy will be agreed to by the King.

COURT OF ARCHES, THIS DAY. (Before Dr. Lushington, Dean of Arches.) THE OFFICE OF TUB JUDGE PROMOTED BY THIS BISHOP OF LONDON V. THE REV. JAMES BONWELL. This was a suit promoted by the Bishop of London against the Rev. James Bonwell, perpetual curate of the district chapel of St. Philip, in the parish of Stepney, for immorality and other ecclesiastical offences alleged to have been com • mitted by him. On Wednesday last 23 articles were exhi bited against the rev. defendant, and reported in The Sun of that day. The accusation was that he made the ac quaintance of a Miss Yorath, at Margate, in September, 1858, representing himself to be an unmarried man, while he had a wife alive at the time. It was alleged that the defendant harboured Miss Yorath, when she was preg nant, in the school-house near the church of St. Philip, Stepney, in the autumn of 1859, where she gave birth to a male child, which afterwards died. The articles detailed the circumstances attending the connection which was alleged to have existed between Mr. Bonwell and Miss Yorath. It was asserted that the child was privately bap tized by the defendant, and that he made the arrangements for the funeral. On that day Mr. Bonwell appeared in person to oppose the admission of the articles, objecting to them on the ground that they contained charges which were not ecclesiastical offences, and he also contended that the Court could not take cognisance of offences committed out of the diocese. lie quoted the case of " Homer and Bloomer v. Jones," 9 Jur. p. 167. Mr. Bonwell also ob jected to some of the articles on the ground that the dates and places of certain alleged acts were not sufficiently specified. Dr. Lushington gave judgment to-day. He said that he need hardly observe that, in considering the admissability of these articles, they should only contain legal charges. The Court had before it the letters of request, the decree citing Mr. Bonwell to appear, and it had nothing else under consideration. The Court held that the dates were sufficiently specified, and with regard to the baptism of the child, it was not a question when it was baptised, but whether it was baptised by Mr. Bonwell. Taking the whole of the circumstances into consideration, the Court held that the articles were properly drawn and must be ad mitted ; but at the same time the Court was desirous that it should not go forth to the public that it expressed any opinion as to the truth or falsehood of the allegations. Mr. Bonwell asked leave to appeal. After a lengthened conversation, Dr. Lushington said he sawno special ground for allowing an appeal, and he must therefore refuse it. Mr. Bonwell gave a negative issue to the articles, and the case now stands for further hearing. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-( THIS DAY.) NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CONCEALMENT OF EIRTM. Sarah Gough, 30, widow, was indicted for concealing :he birth of her child: Mr. Metcalf prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen tenced to a month's imprisonment. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) STEALING A LETTER. Richard Hansford, 26, letter-carrier, was found guilty of stealing a letter containing money, the property of the Postmaster-General. The learned Judge sentenced him to six years' penal servitude. MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Woodgate, 48, plasterer, was indicted for felo niously killing and slaying Charles Dixon. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Judge, after commenting upon the circum. stances of the case, sentenced him to three weeks' impri sonment. but that, on the contrary, these colonies might, in reason and in manliness, be able by this time to defend themselves. There is no subject on which Englishmen of all parties, politics, and sects feel more at one than on ,hat of the African Slave Trade. Sometimes it has appeared to be almost made out to the satisfaction of philanthropists like the late Mr. BUXTON, that our money was thrown away in attempting its suppression by cruisers ; at least that the sufferings of the negroes were greatly increased by the means employed by slavers to escape detection and capture. Yet never could either we or our gover nors bring ourselves to resign this horrid trade to its natural development. We could not stand by and see a set of the vilest pirates on earth pursue their accursed traffic without restraint on the high ways of the ocean. _ Hitherto, however, between America and Spain we have succeeded but imperfectly. American Governments have been willing to see the trade suppressed, and of late have co-operated more ac tively with us to attain that object. But a sensi tiveness on the question of the right of search, the remains of an old misunderstanding, have enabled slavers to use the American flag, and to defy our commanders. Spain, on her part, is guilty of the most unblushing fraud as well as cruelty. By treaty she is bound to suppress the traffic ; and she has already received money, amounting now, we believe, to nearly half a million, from us for that purpose. Yet her colonies—Cuba especially and Porto Rico are now the great remaining marts for slavers. Could we but coerce them, the slave trade would ceas;. We Live a iktfect moral right to do it ; and Americans have more than hinted that we ought to act on that right, and compel the fulfilment of the treaty. Assuredly, were they in our position, and did they feel in the subject the interest universally felt here, they would soon find a short cut to complete sup pression of the traffic ; and they would have, what we should, the applause of the civilised world. Just at the present time, however, the Americans have a special reason of their own why they should wish to put an end to the slave trade. It is likely to become an annual charge on their na tional treasury. Their cruisers have, for de cency's sake, been increased, and they seem not to like that we should monopolise the naval credit of all the captures. The consequence has been that many cargoes of negroes have been brought in by the American vessels, which at no little cost had to be maintained, and reconveyed across the Atlantic to the colony of Liberia—the American Act on the slave trade not permitting captured slaves to remain in the states, but requiring that they should be conveyed to some part of the coast of Africa. A cargo captured by the Echo in 1858 had been sent across in this way, at a coat of 150 dollars each, to Liberia, under an engagement by Mr. BUCHANAN with the American Colonisation Society. The expenditure on another cargo brought by the Wildfire will amount to more than 100,000 dollars, and now the Mohawk has brought them a third, of 507 African negroes. The President has there fore been compelled to ask for a permanent appro priation of money for the purpose of providing for the captured negroes ; and has suggested legislation enabling the captains to take the negroes at once to Africa when practicable, and place them in charge of the agent of the society. This bill, we learned on Friday, had passed.; and, at a cost of 50,000 dollars the negroes last captured were placed in charge of the Colonisation Society. The States have therefore to incur considerable expense, in addition to that of maintaining the cruising squadron. We are not surprised, therefore, that Mr. BUCHANAN begins to rub his eyes, and that he should close his Message to the Congress on the subject with the observation which gave occasion to Mr. CAVE'S question on Friday night—" It is: truly lamentable that Great Britain and the United States should be obliged to expend such a vast amount of blood and treasure for the suppression of the African slave trade, and this when the only portions of the civilised world where it is tolerated and encouraged are the Spanish Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico." There is reason to think that the American Government is sincere in wishing to put down the slave trade. It can hardly desire to be put to the expense now incurred in capturing negroes, and maintaining them for a year after wards through the agency of the Colonisation Society—the object of that society having been to get rid of the negroes from America, not to pro vide for captured ones. Neither can we conceive that from considerations of domestic policy, Ame rican statesmen can be otherwise than opposed to the introduction of a mass of barbarous negroes amongst those long resident in, indeed born in the the country, and arc as truly Americans as Mr. BUCIIANAN himself and every member of Con gress. The demands of some of the Southern States for the abolition of the penal laws against the slave trade will never be complied with will ingly by American statesmen. They must there fore on every ground regard the traffic with hos tility. It seems strange, then, that effectual co-operation should not be possible ; bulthe truth is, Ame rican Democracy is a stiff-necked animal. A law is wanted to remedy a confessed deficiency in the American law on the subject, which that perverse Democracy would not consent to. An American cruiser may seize a vessel under the American flag with sla•Zres on board ; but, if she have neither flag nor papers, although filled with slaves —or if she be fitted up as a slaver, although with the Ameri can flag flying—in either case an American captain dare not meddle with her. Hence a slaver waiting for a cargo off the coast of Africa under the American _flag can be touched by neither our cruisers nor those of her own country ; and if she throw overboard her flag and papers off Cuba, she would be safe from American cruisers, though not from ours. Mr. BUCHANIN will not be a candi date for re-election ; he sees the interest of his country on this qnestion. Can he not leave them as his parting legacy an earnest appeal to give up all old jealousies on this subject, and for the sake of his country and of humanity to enact complete laws and to co operate by interchange of conces sions with England to blot this accursed traffic from the earth. TIER M.I,TESTY'S THEATRE. Last night a new candidate for buffo honours was intro duced in the person of Signor Giuseppe Ciampi, who appeared as Doctor Bartolo in the " Barbiere." The new buffo is a very young man, not more, we understand, than 21 years of age, possesses a capital voice—a baritone rather than a bass in register—and has evidently been tutored in the very best school. He is a first-rate comedian, is instinct with humour and spirit, and perfectly original. We may say at once that Signor Ciampi achieved one of the most thoroughly legitimate successes we remember for years on the Italian stage. His appearance at first did not greatly prepossess the spectators. The advent of such an artist as Signor Ciampi is likely to restore to the Italian stage many comic masterpieces which were necessarily banished with La blache.

The Montreal Ocean Company's steamer Anglo- Saxon, Captain Ballantine, from Quebec, on the 26th ult., has arrived, and landed all mails. She passed the Nova Scotian on the 3d inst. The Anglo Saxon should have called at Londonderry, but the captain found too much ice and fog to be able to return in that direction. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Dowager Lady Truro with their company at dinner on Monday evening, at her ladyship's residence in Eaton-square. - We regret to announce the death of Lady Chas. Somerset, which occurred on the 11th inst., at her residence in Piccadilly. Her ladyship was widow of the late Gen. Lord Charles Somerset, sacond son of Henry, fifth Duke of Beaufort, and sister to the present Earl Poulett. The marriage of the Hon. James Fitzwalter Butler, eldest son of Lord Dunboyne, with Miss Marion Clifford, only daughter of Mr. Morgan Clifford, M.P., was solemnised yesterday, at All Souls' Church, Kensington. Major-General Bulkeley, M.P., had an inter view with Viscount Palmerston, yesterday, at Cambridge- house. DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL MAGISTRATE.—Yester day (Monday) the flag at the Town-hall, Liverpodt, was hoisted half• mast, in respect to the memory of the late James Still, Esq., who was for many years a member of the Town Council, and subsequently one of the borough magistrates. STATE OF TRADE:—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.— The auarket is still very flat for yarns and cloths, and the amount of transactions is very limited. Both the home and e):port buyers are out of the market, except at extremely low rate's, and even at these prices they buy very sparingly. THE IRISH KIDNAPPING CASE.—DUBLIN, June 12.—The Court of Queen's Bench gave judgment this day in the case of Miss Aylward, declaring unanimously that she had not purged herself from the contemptof Court, and impounding the document in the matter, with a view of affording ground for ulterior proceedings under the act making child stealing a felony. Miss Aylward has been bound over in heavy recognisances to appear when the Court is prepared to pass sentence. SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR CHESTER.—An inquest was held on Monday afternoon at the Queens-ferry Hotel, Chester, on the body of a well-dressed man, who was found in a ditch at Queens-ferry in a state which left little doubt that he had been murdered. The jury returned an open verdict. The gentleman's name is unknown. HOME CIRCUIT.—The judges appointed for the Home Circuit, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Mr. Justice Blarkburn,•have fixed the following days for holding the ass izes in the different counties :—Hrtfordshire, Tuesday, July 10; Essex, Monday, July 16; Sussex, Friday, July 20 ; Kent, Thursday, July 26 ; and Surrey, Thursday, August 2. The commission will be opened in each of the counties on the day above named, and business will be pro ceeded with on the following morning. The special juries in Surrey will be summoned to attend on Monday, the 6th of August. For the information of gentlemen of the second branch of the legal profession, the Dublin Warder men tions that the office of solicitor to the Eccleitastical Com missioners, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Godfrey Pother stone, is supposed to be worth nearly £3,000 a year. Six of the leading Dublin professionals are already entered for the race, but this number will, of course, be largely in creased before the end of another week. The following goldships are announced by the present mail to have left Melbourne for England :—Marco Polo. March 23, with 12,492 ounces ' • Owen Glendower and Venilia, 25th, with together 41,688 ounces; Prince of Wales, April 8, 33,056 ounces Maid of Judah, 13th, 31,047 ounces; and Eagle, 18th, with 33,072 ounces. The Omar Pasha, Southampton, and Dream, previously reported, are also out with a total of 41,082 ounces. The amount of _Australian gold known to be at sea for this country is, therefore, 192,437 ounces, worth about £770,000, of which about £214,000 is now due. ANOTHER BANK DEFAULTER.—On Monday William Charles Driver a clerk employed in the bank of Messrs. Gurneys and Birkbeck, of Norwich, was charged before the magistrates of that city with embezzling two sums of £175 and £2OO. It appeared from the evidence that one customer of tho bank had paid in £175, and another £5OO, the prisoner acting as cashier at the bank counter. Of the first sum there was no entry at all in the book in which the' prisoner should have noted the amount, and as regards the second sum of £5OO credit was only given for £3OO. The prisoner was committed for trial. The £175 was paid in so tong since as the 10th of July, 1858. THE' CHANNEL FLEET.—ENTERTAINMENT TO TILE MEDICAL OFFICERS.—We understand that a depu tation from the Royal College of Surgeons, consisting of Dr. Douglas Maclagan, the president. Dr. Andrew Wood, and Dr. Newbigging, proceeded on board the Channel Fleet on Saturday, for the purpose of inviting the medical officers of the fleet to an entertainment to be given them by the college. The invitation having been accepted, the dinner is to take place in the Hopetoun-rooms, on Tires day, the 12th inst. We understand that the members of the army medical staff, at present quartered in Edinburgh, heve been invited to meet their brethren of the sister ser vice.—Edinburgh Courant. EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—The Prince has a practical way of striving to profit as much as possible from his opportunities. When travelling, his Royal Highness daily supplies his diary and sketch-book -with memoranda of his o bservations, that serve to impress on his memory all that is worthy of no tice ; when pursuing his studies, the note-book preserves those points of the lecture that possess the most pressing claims on his remembrance, and during the interesting tours he has made abroad and at home he has collected specimens of fossils, minerals, and rocks, that cannot fail of being regarded as pleasing memorials of his travels, while ready to be referred to as instructive aids to investi gation.—Folkestone Williams' _Domestic Memoirs of the Royal Family. NEW ZEALAND CHIEFS. —At the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Roderick Murchison introduced to the notice of the Fellows two New Zealand Chiefs, who were brought to Trieste last year at their own request. They aro now under the guidance of Professor Ferdinand Von Hockstetter, a distinguished Austrian geo logist, who, having passed nine months in New Zealand, has published a work upon the geological structure of that country. These samples of the aborigines of our most dis tant colony were most kindly treated in Austria, where they were presented to the Emperor and Empress, and, besides visiting all the establishments of art, science, and manu facture in Vienna, were instructed in the art of printing. The elder of the two, Wiremu (William) Toetoe. addressed the meeting very en ergetically in the Maori language, and, as the words " Queen Victoria" were often pronounced, it was afterwards explained that inasmuch as a certain num ber of New Zealanders were adhering to a native king, so Toetoe (who is a postmaster, by the by, in the Government service) wished to show his loyalty to his true Sovereign. They will embark very shortly to retrain to their native land. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF TILE CHEST, BROMPTON.—On Sunday morning last the beautiful little chapel attached to this hospital was thrown open to the general public, on the occasion of the anniver sary sermon being preached by the Archbishop of Canter bury. The text selected was Revelations, chap. 22, v. 3, " And there shall be no .rn re curse," from which the arch bishop preached a mo t earnest and appropriate discourse, describing, at the close of the importance of this admir able charity, on medical, religious, and social grounds ; 972 as hi-patients, and 4,617 as out-patients, had been recipients of its benefits during the past year. It was much to be lamented that the difference between the annual subscrip tions (the only assured source of income) and the annual expenditure was over 11,000 a-year, which necessitated con stant appeals to Christian liberality. After the sermon a collection was made which amounted to £l6 17s. 6d. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.— At the suggestion of several of the ladies patronesses and patrons of this admi rable institution, the Fancy Fair lately held will be repeated. The same ladies (with additions) will preside at the stalls, and the same gentlemen will superintend the cede will be advantageously removed fro m the di s t an t May - bury to the Crystal Palace. Here every crimes, but the & facility will be afforded for carrying out on an extended scale the arrange ments, which will be again under the superintendence o the Master, Mr. Webster, and Messrs. Sams, J erwood,f and Churchill. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—ARTFUL TRlCK.—Frederick Marchant, a young man was charged with attempting to obtain money from Mr. Larking, of the Spread Eagle, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, by the following artful trick : The prisoner entered the house on the previous evening at a time a good many customers were present, and pulling a bottle from his pocket demanded 2d. for it, saying that was what he left on it. This being known to be untrue he was refused the money, on which he said he would have biscuits if he did not have money, and seized some and bolted off, but was brought back and given into custody, when two other bottles were found on him. It was stated to be the practice of persons to buy bottles at the marine store shops at about one halfpenny each, and then to take them at a busy time to publichouses, and alleg ing they had them at the houses to obtain 2d. for them, and that the practice is pretty extensively carried on in some districts. Remanded. IMPERIA THAMES. A WAPPING PAllPER.—Elizabeth Normington, a big, middle-aged woman, of dissipated appearance, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing a violent assault upon Elizabeth Wright, a wards-woman in Wapping poor house, one of the workhouses of the Stepney Union. The prisoner is one of the disorderly paupers of the Wapping house, where the structural arrangements are de ficient, and have been frequently made the subject of com ment by the magistrates of this court. Tho guardians, however, have done all in their power to remedy the evil. Yesterday the prisoner demanded her discharge, and left the workhouse. She returned in the evening as a " casual," and asked Mrs. Wright a well-behaved woman, for a drink of water. Mrs. Wright gave her some tea, and after some de lay, she went upstairs to the sleeping ward, and used very bad language. She was requested to go to bed, and refused, and after acting in a most disorderly manner, made a vio lent attack on Mrs. Wright, struck her repeatedly, and dragged a large quantity of hair from her head. Mrs. Wright's repeated cries of murder brought several persons to her assistance, and she was secured. Mr. Selfe—Was the prisoner drunk ? Mrs. Wright—She had been drinking, I believe, but she was not drunk. She said to me, " Mind, I have not been drinking. I want to give it you well." The mistress then took off her bonnet and cap, and exhibited a large bald place on the top of her head, at the same time producing the hair which had been forcibly dragged from it. There wag a good handful. The prisoner in her defence said that the complainant ill-used her and broke her arm, and she could not raise it to her mouth. Mr. Selfe—lf you are in the practice of drinking heavily that will be a very gratifying circumstance. Mrs. Wright—We were both down, and she may have been hurt, but her arm is not broken. Flowers, the porter of the Wapping workhouse, said that the prisoner had been repeatedly brought before the magi strafe for disorderly conduct, but had never been sent to prison from the court. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner to the House of Cor rection, and to be kept to hard labour for one calendar month. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a full average quantity of English wheat on offer here, to-day, and a portion of it was composed of Mon day's unsold samples. The attendance of buyers was only muderate, and the demand for red and white qualities ruled inactive. In prices, however, no change took place. Upwards of 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, that article was a slow inquiry; never theless, importers were firm, and the quotations were sup • ported. Floating cargoes commanded extreme rates. We have to report a slow inquiry for barley, at late cur rencies. Most kinds of malt were a dull sale, at previous quota tions. There was a fair sale for oats, at Monday's improvement in value. Beans and peas were firm in prices, and the best town made flour realised 50s to 54s per 2801bs. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time. The following bills were considered and ordered for the third reading :—Epsom and Leatherhead Railway Bill ; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Capital) Bill. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented, chiefly in favour of the Education Bill ; against the powers vested in the Poor Law Commissioners, and praying for an amendment of the law ; against the provision in the Census Bill which required a landlord to give a return of the religious profession of his lodgers, as being useless and calculated to mislead as to the actual numbers of the different religious denominations in the country ; against themode of registering births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland ; against Sunday trading, &c. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. PAGET moved to leave out in line 20 " 12," and insert " 13." The object of the amendment was to prevent children being admitted to work in mines before they had obtained an adequate amount of mental and moral culture. The plan he proposed had been adopted by the provisions of the Factory Act, and that measure had worked most suc cessfully. He was opposed to this bill when it was intro duced as being an undue interference between the employer and employed, but the statement he made as to its success ful operation was founded on information furnished by the most competent authority. The hon. member then referred to the state of juvenile education amongst the working classes, and said that it was stated by persons of the most reliable character, that up to a certain age, only 15 out of 46 could read, and the number would much be re duced if the test of writing were required. Mr. CLIVE defended the clause, which he said was framed in conformity with the suggestions of those best qualified to understand the subject. He denied that the operation of the factory act in respect to the question wider consideration was satisfactory, as it had the effect of ex cluding in Scotch factories children under a certain age, when their labour would be valuable. Mr. LIDDELL opposed the clause as well as the amend ment. He considered that a compulsory enactment of that kind would materially impede the efforts of those who had laboured strenuously for the education of the working classes, and would disgust those classes with that very edu cation which it was the duty as well as the desire of the house to 'promote. The partial application of the principle of compulsory labour to any one branch of industry would, according to sound political axioms, tend to raise wages and place such branch of trade at a most unfair - in equality with other branches of national industry. They should remember that they were legislating for the working classes ; and that in dealing with juvenile labour, they might be depriving a working man of an im portant addition of 65., 75., or Ss. a week to his income, by the restriction intended to be imposed. He contended also that, as we were about to enter into a competition with France, we ought to afford every facility for the supply of labour in the production of those articles which we intended for the French market. Mr. ADDERLEY objected to step by step legislation, and said that the statute book was in a most anomalous condition in reference to the subject of juvenile labour. He contended that there should be a general measure introduced on this question. They should sot say to employers that they should net employ boys of a certain age, but that they should employ them co sistently with the national system of education. In fact, they were now endeavouring to throw on the employer the obligation of the parent, while the house should stand in that relation to the child, or, at all events, partake of it conjointly with the parent. Mr. C. BUXTON said that the system which it was proposed was one of compulsory education, to which he strongly objected. Instead of leaving this subject of juvenile education to the gradual increase of knowledge and intelligence, instead of having recourse to law, and impos ing criminal penalties for its neglect. Mr. CROSSLEY objected to the bill, and said that its operation in Yorkshire would have the effect, to a considerable extent, of confiscating mining property. Mi n ing proprietors had no objection to children being edu cated while in their employment, but no means could be devised to render the present bill practical in operation. The children employed in mines were a hard dreadnaught class, and it would be useless to depend on procuring them from schools, so that the effect of the bill would be to drive children into other branches of industry. He had no objection to the age proposed, (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE WRITS UN-WEEK GALES. In our last paper we contrasted the behaviour of the Yarmouth beachmen, in that dreadful Whit- Monday storm, with the conduct of the Ramsgate boatmen on Valentine's eve, and we have reason to believe that the contrast has had a telling effect on the public mind. It is not the first time that Yar mouth beachmen have recently acted in a manner calculated to forfeit the reputation which they once enjoyed for their devotedness in endeavouring to save the lives of their fellow-creatures. It cannot be alleged in their excuse that the superior con struction of Beeching's life-boat gave an advan tage to the Ramsgate men, for, besides the facts mentioned by our correspondent " Huma nitas" as to the direction of the wind and the posi tion of the ships on Whit-Monday, it is a fact, of which some perhaps may not be aware, that a few months ago the Royal National Lifeboat Institu tion sent down a large boat somewhat similar to that at Ramsgate, to be tried by the Yarmouth beachmen against their own boats, for which they had been clamorous ; but shame to say ! they re fused to enter the boats without a promise of sixty pounds, afterwards moderately reduced to forty pounds, for a few hours' work ! Yet these men have had extra rewards for their services from the Royal Institution on more than occasion. At Lowestoft and Pakefield, where the boats are of the same class, there have been no complaints ; but the boatmen are always ready to extend a helping hand to a brother seaman in danger. In the very same storm of Whit- Monday we find the Lowestoft boat render ing her services to three vessels—the Scotia, of Sunderland ; the Three Brothers, of Goole ; and the Thomas, of Blakeney. The whole crew of the first, six in number, were saved, and five out of six in the second, the mate having been washed overboard before the boat reached her. In the third case, the Yarmouth steam-tug having come up, towed the vessel into Lowestoft harbour; and the lifeboat, after re maining afloat for six hours, and seeing no more lives in danger, returned to the beach. The Pakefield boat did its part also. The Robert and Mary, of Blyth, having hoisted a signal of distress, this boat was launched to her assistance, but the Kessingland boat arrived before her, and saved the crew. After the Pakefield boat had re turned, two other vessels were seen driving over the Corton Sands with signals of distress, and a fresh crew proceeded to their assistance ; but un happily one of them, a sloop, went down before they could reach her; they then hauled up to the other, the Mason, of Goole, and the weather being somewhat moderated, remained by her until she was placed in safety, although the lifeboat itself had sustained considerable damage from the fury of the storm. Again, on the following Sunday morning, the crew of a Gibraltar vessel was saved by the bravery of the Pakefield beachmen, who had unsuccessfully attempted to reach her, until a line was thrown over her by the mortar, which the crew, being Maltese, did not know how to take advantage of, but by which the beachmen hauled their yawl to the stranded vessel, and took off the seven hands and a pilot in an exhausted state, amidst the shouts of some hundreds who had watched the operation with the greatest anxiety from the shore. Now we believe that there are to be found, on Yarmouth beach, men as alive to the impulses of humanity i and true English courage, as at Lowe' toft, Pakefield, or Kessingland ; and our confident hope is that the Local Committee, to who we are glad to see that the General Board of the, National Institution has referred the matter — W V ' be able to make such a choice of men, or such rept' lations for the employment of those who offer than' selves in future, as will roll away the reproach which at this moment rests upon the good o ld port of Great Yarmouth. She has sorrow enough in the visitation with which Providence has seen fit to afflict her fishermen and their wives and children ; let her not have to mourn in addition to lives and property, the loss of the character of her mariners' —Bury and Norwich Post of this day.
