CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets 1 during the last few days have been moderately t active, and most of the leading articles have been I dealt in at steady rates. Tea has been dull, and until the delivery of the letters by the Overland Mail to-morrow little alteration can be expected in the market. Sugar has been in fair demand, more particularly good grocery descriptions fit ler home consumption. In the refined market also a rather ; large business has been done, and at fully late values. Coffee has been steady, and good coloury qualities of Plantation Ceylon have been at full value's. Rice has been dui', as also saltpetre. The public sales of colonial wool continue to proceed with animation, and the rates current at the open ing of the series are fully supported. Tallow has been rather firmer. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 48s. 3d., and for la - -t three months delivery 48s. 6d., and town t Blow 465. Gd. to 464. 9d. per cwt. The operations in the bullion department of the Bulk of England continue limited, but it is fully believed that a fair proportion of the 303,0001, brought by the Heather Bell will be added to the stock ( f precious metals. The demand for exporta tion to the East and also to France is very quiet and likely to continue so, in consequence of the alteration in the exchanges. The latest advices from America report a slight 'advance in the quota tions for 60 days' bills, and there is some proba bility of moderate remittances being received from that country, The Liverpcol Cotton Market yesterday closed with a heavy aspect, and prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. At the meeting of the Cobra Copper Company to-day a dividend of it. per sh are was declared for the half year. The general demandfor discount continues with out alteration, and the terms are still fully per cent, below the minimum. Early next week, how ever, there is likely to be more activity among the bankers, &c., owing to the numerous pay ments for which provision has to be made. A dividend of is. Gd. per share is recommended by the directors of the Mariquita and New Granada Mining Company. Trade in France is progressing steadily, and during the last fortnight operations among the manufacturing interest have increased in conse quence of some large American orders. With regard to business in this country, it may also be asserted that there are indications of im provement in most departments. Occasional failut es are announced, but they are not of general importance, and are principally for small amounts. The suspension has just been reported of Messrs. Seaman and Keen, in the silk trade, but the liabilities are limited. Trade may nevertheless be considered healthy ; and while speculation continues so quiet, there is nothing to lead to the anticipation of any serious disasters. A very small amount of business has been re corded in the English Stock Market. Speculation is almost dormant, as the operators are awaiting the settlement, which will take place on the 4th proximo, Meanwhile, few dealings, except in connection with the usual arraegements, will be effected. Consols have been 951 1 for money an d 9 s for account. They are now about 95/ sellers for both. The New Threes and the Re duced are 96i -11. Exchequer Bills, June, 235. to 26a prem. Bank Stock has risen to 225 227. A rather limited business hat b'en transacted in the market for Foreign Securities, and the alterations in prices have not been important. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 951 ; ditto 4 per Cents., ; Brazilian Scrip, die, to par ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 891 ; ditto Uribarren, 76 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 431 ; Venezuela 5 per Cents., 39i ; and Dutch 2i per Cents., 66k. A. moderate amount of business has been trans acted this morning in the Railway Share Market, and a further alight advance may be reported on most of the leading lines. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North• Eastern (Berwick) and North-Eastern (Leeds) Mt- Proved 58., and Great Northern and South- E "tern, 10s. The foreign lines are very inactive, aad show little or ne alteration in values. In the Colonial Market East Indian have ad vanced ss. to 109. Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Indian Peninsula, and one or two others fully supported previous rates. Joint -Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been moderately active. London and County have declined ss. ; London and Westminster, ss. Oriental Bank, ss. ; Ottoman Ba ik, ss. ; and Union of Australis, 10s. In the Miscellaneous Market South Australian Land have receded to 361, and Atlantic Telegraph are quoted 300. General Steam Navigation are dealt in at 25. FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES-THIS DAY.

IMPERIAL PAR LIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—ghis Eveuing.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'ek.ek. Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved for the production of a letter addressed by him to the Court of Directors, dated the 28th of Aprd, and also for the memorandum of Sir G. Clerk on the same suhjecr.—Agreed to. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented peti tions from the Chamber of Commerce and the Legal Society in Manchester, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Jeromett, the Commissioner of Bankruptcy in Manchester. They prayed that Mr. Jemmett might be removed from the bench. The LARD CHANCELLOR said be was afraid, although the appointment of the Commissioners in Bankruptcy was vested in him, he had no power what ever to remove these officers. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. SIR J. OUTRAN AND MR. HALLIDAY. The LORD CEIANCELLOR read letters from Sir J. Outran and Mr. Halliday, acknowledging the votes of thanks their lordships had transmitted to them for the part they had taken in suppressing the mutiny in Bengal. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. Tuis bill was read a third time and time aid passed. RAILWAY CHEAP TRAINS, &c., BILL. This bill passed through the committee. (LEFT SITTING.) ROUSE OF 004NIONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW WRITS. Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved for new writs for South Devon and North Cheshire, the former vacant by the acceptance of the Cailtern Hundreds by Sir J. Y. Buller, and the latter by the appointment to a similar office of Mr. W. T. Egerton. The motion was agreed to. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the South Wales Railway (new railway, &c.) bill and the Vale of Tawy Railway bill, %ere considered and agreed to. Colonel WILSON PATTEN called attention to the standing orders of the house with a view to seine ha. provements. He adverted particularly to the difficulties in the way of railway committees, and recommended the appointment of five permanent chairmen. He had had communications with gentlemen of experience in the house, and he was happy to say that three most experienced chairiwn bad agreed to serve. Lord R. CECIL concurred in the view expressed by Colonel Patten, and considered that she majority of members were unfit for such commietee duties as were imposed upon them. With regard to private bills much evidence was taken, and one witness, Mr. Denison, the chairman of the Great Northern Railway, recom mended that the jurisdiction should be taken away from the house altogether. It fr-quently happened that members of the committee, from ignorance of the man ner of conducting icve4igatlous in courts of justice, puisued lines of examination wholly irrelevant, and they allowed coun-el to play ail sorts of tricks with them. Occasionally a member of the committee struck up a mare's nest, and detained a witness a day and a half, although the expenses to the parties amounted to 2001. or 3001. a year. Permanent chairmen would have to sit 50 days in the session, four times a day, and he thought it was only jut that they should receive com pensation for their labours. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS complained that in these com mittees counsel received enormous and unreasonable fees, and rushed about from one committee to another. He trusted that that system would receive a check, espe cially as the counsel practicing before Parliamentary committees were not required to be so astute, or their legal talents so perfect, as those who practised in courts of ju-tics. Sir D. NORREYS thought that gentlemen degraded themselves by the centralisation of business in that house. He believed that much of that business mieht be transacted in their various counties, at a very much smaller expense than was incurred in bringing it to London. CA. WILSON PATTEN hoped the day would never come when members of that house would be paid for their parliamentary services. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER promised that the attention of the Government should be called to the report of the committee appointed fur the revision of the starveling orders. Co'onel PATTEN moved, that this house will not in. sist on its privileges with regard to any clauses in pri vate bills sent down from the House of Lords which re fer to tol's and charges for services performed, and are not in the nature of a tax. The motion was agreed to. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. On the order for the consideration of the Lords Amend ments on this bill, fielucel SYKES moved as an amendment that they be considered this day three months. The East India Company had gainel an empire which Alexander the Great or Augustus Ceasar might have envied, and he thought, therefore, it might have been re spected by the Government instead of seeking its extinciion. He had been for a long time con nected with the company, and he could say that there had always been a desire to prevent war, annexation, and extensions, and that what bad been done bad been forced upon them by the home Go vernment, and they bad been obliged to confirm the acts of the home Government against their better convic tions. With those exceptions, there bad not been a failure in its administra ive power. Millions of men and abundance of stores had been conveyed to India, and be held that there had not been aSsingle failure, and, so far as he was aware, not a complaint. The directors, he maintained, bad been actuated by the best intentions to ensure to the people of India their rights, privileges, and justice. (Hear, hear.) It could not be contended that the Company was responsible for the Indian mutiny, which arose from the fact that a certain number of gallant men preferred death to dishonour, and would not do that which was cpposed to their reli gious convictions. That spirit rapidly ran through the army of Bengal, and speedily made it a mass of mutiny. The bill cru!bed a court which enabled the people to come before the public with their complaint., and which put an end to party strife in that house on Indian affairs—steife which he contended bad been a disgrace to the British character. What was the present state of India! Everything must succumb to our arms there, but it was like putting a man's finger upon a globule of quicksilver. He thought he bad g ot it under his power, but only let him look around, and he would see 20 globules starting on every side. That anus the exact state of India at present in reference to our military ope rations there. He believed that the present state of this questi on papers had wemelaocniottihse part of the public that the authority of the company was the ted result tbat there a m w i s a t s a k a e. determination Bom should be transferred to the Crown. Many members of that house believed those statements, and hence the large division which took place on the question. He might remind the house that there were at that moment 481 petitions before the house in reference to India. Of these 126 were for the removal of the system of caste, 89 were against Holatry, and 145 were for the extension of Christianity. So that there were 360 petitions closely touching the feelings of the people, (Hear, hear.) He helieved that in this movement the natives of India would come to the conclusion that the Government was not caring for them, and that the only o f jest they had in view was to secure the patronage which would fail into their hands as a result of this transfer of power. That would necessarily tend to increase the distrust of the English Government which so extensively prevailed in India. The result of all this was that there was in India at the present time a more dangerous enemy then the mutineers in India, and that was a want of confi dence ori the part of the people. He would say, let the missionaries in India pursue their arduous and, he had no doubt, beneficial labours. They were doing good, for they were unsuspected, not being connected witn the Government. There were 460 of them, of all denomi nations, labouring in various parts of the country, to which they had free access, but if they once had the official prestige of Government they would be the worst enemies India ever bad. He would say, in conclusion, that the Government should endeavour to re. poet the prejudices of the people of India, as far as they were reasonable and just, and that they should mark the transfer of power to the Crown by a discriminating am nesty. Unless these things were done, there woule be no peace in India, and no safety for our dominions. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MANGLES defended the civil service of the East India Company, which he te,nsidered bad been treated with undue disrespect in that house. He had been cinuected with it for many years, and be could bear testimony to the fact that it had always been guided with a view tothe benefit of India. (Hear.) Hecomplaiced that in a previous debate Mr. Bright had asserted that the company bad laboured from a chronic defi• trench a statement which he most positively denied. The same hon. gentleman had also asserted that the land revenue was a moat oppressive system of• taxation, but the facts he believed would prove most undeniably that it was a most moderate system of taxation, and that it was cheerfully borne. The assessments had been continually reduced in a manner which was satisfactory to the people, and without any positive loss of revenue. The hon. gentleman repeated the conviction he has fre quently expressed on tormer occasions, that, with few and unimportant exceptions, the late outbreak was a military rebellion, and he held, as a general rule, that the r-mark was perfectly true—" Where no Senor, no ineurrection." Reverting to the civil s,rv,ce, he denied that the men who composed It were overpai , t. It was not to be expected that men would go to India for the same salaries they would accept amongst their friends at borne. If they offered the men connected with the civil service in India half the salaries they eo•v had for work in Indis, that civil service would be very soon denuded of its best men. (Hear.) He made an earnest appeal to the noble lord at the head of the Ir,dia de partment that, in apportioning the rewards for recent services in India, military success should not be the a de c'aien, and that those men should not be forgotten who had saved us from military successes by preserving the peace of their respective districts. (Hoer, hear.) A'nonget hese he might mention such men as E awards, U iamberlaie, and Cotton. He hoped that govern:vont wcutd abstain from intertererce slid: the religion of the pe:)pla cf India, r.nd that in this respect the govern...lent W hold the scales equally between all. The Hindoos, so far from having a dread, had a great respect for the misiionaties, so long as they know that they were acting an independent part: and were unconnected IYIAA S (This Day). ItAILWAY.

(Hear, bear.) He did lilt believe that the noble lord the member for Tiverton regretted that he had ever meddled with the East India Com pany, and that if the past could be forgotten, there were very few members in that house who would care to revive what had been done in reference to the new government of India. An eminent writer bad remarked, that to form a new government for India was as difficult a task as to build a tree, and be believed those who had meddled with Indian matters of late had found this tree-building a very difficult operation. (Hear.) Mr. WARREN thought that in the bill a mighty stride rad been made on a momentous brat,ch of legis lation, and that the highest credit was due to Lord John Russell for making the whole house a party to legisla tion in this respect by preceedieg by resolution, thus clearing the way from all party considerations, and from all appearance of faction. (Hear, hear.) He was of opi nion that they might now look for a rapid extension of Christianity in India, but that civilisation, he considered, should be based on C4ristiata principle, and that all undue concessions should be withdrawn. Mr. T. SMITH expressed a hope that the house would go into the consideration of the Lords' amend ments; without going into the general question. He would not, therefore, put the questions he bad proposed to the noble lord (the President of the Beard of Con trol), as the noble lord had stated that he (Mr. Smith) should have an opportunity of making a statement on .the subject en Friday next. The goes tiees were as follows : Whether the 17,000 men sent to India since January last included any troops re quested to be added to the establishment in India by the di rectors of the Eist It dm Campaey ? Whether be will state the terms and objects of the commission to inquire into the reorganisation of the Indian army What is the amount borrowed under the Indian Loan Act of this session, and whether the amount allowed to he borrowed under the act will cover the expenses of the current year, or if bills are now drawn upon India in the usual method ; and, whether any in struction-, have been sent, or will be sent, to proclaim her Majesty's name and authority in India, and to an nounce the intentions of the government as to non interference with the religion of the natives ? The right hon. gentleman stated briefly the reasons which had in duced Lord Palmerston's administration to interfere with the question of Indian government. Lord J. RUSSELL, adverting to a remark of Mr. Mangles, that he did not expect much longer to be a member of the terse, in anticipation of his election as a mem ier of the new Indian Council, expressed his regret that the members of that body were prohbited from sitting in the House of Commons. General THOMP.SON looked mien legislation at present for India as a c -owning madness. It was like the commander of a vessel Cianging his lower sail in a gale of wind. He had no hesitation in saying that if a Mahommedau should c ;me to that table to be sworn he would introduce him, for he believed there was very little difference between the religions of M ahommedans and Coristiaes. Col. SYKES withdrew his amendment, and the house proceeded to a consideration of the Lords' amendments. Upon the additio❑ made by the Lords to clause 27, "That no such order shall be sent without having been previously communicated to the Vice-President and one other member from time to time to be selected by the Secretary of Statp, Lori J. RUSSELL said the amendment inlhis opinion did not provide that security which was intended by the Lords, and be therefore proposed that the following words be substituted, " That no such order shall be sent without having been previously communicated to a committee coneiAiog of the Vtce•President and fur other members to be selected from time to time by the Seoretary of State, and tee opinion of the committee in respect to such order shall have been given in writing." Lord STANLEY said it was no easy task to defend the amendment made by the Lords, but the same objec tion the noble lord took to the amendment applied with equal force to his proposition. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM was opposed to the Lords' Amend ment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the noble lord would withdraw his amendment he would not support that made by the Lords. (Hear, hear.) He thought the words as they originally stood in the bill far preferable to either amendment. Mr. MANGLES approved of the amendment made by the Peers. Sir J. COLEBROOKE thought no security would be given by cumpoling the Minister to communicate his despatches to members of a council appointed by himself. Mr. BO WYER thought the amendment of the noble lord the member for London was a great improvement of the Lords' Amendment, although he was of opinion that the number of the committee tis suggested by him was rather too numerous—three members of the commit tee he thought would be sufficient. The amendment, however, of the noble lord. taken altogether, was a very useful one, and, in the event of a division, he should give it his support. After a few words from Mr. A. MILLS, Mr. V. SMITH looked upon the amendments as mere sham. One of the main objects of the bill was to gst rid of the secret committee altogether ; but both amendments were in fact to reconstruct that secret committee. He lookeo upon the proposed committee as a most cumbrous and inconvenient hamper upon the Secretary of State. He thought i hat either the commit tee ought to be open to be whole Council, or else to rely upon the sole responsibiay of the Secretary of State. Mr. P. O'BRIEN said the object was to have a re sponsible Minister to administer Indian affairs. If the Minister was to be responsible, what need was there of his having any advice from the Council? In his opinion the amendment en irely took away the responsi• bility of the minister. He hoped the house would not agree to the amendment. • Mr. WILSON said he believed the amendment of the Lords.wputo provide a cheek upon the .Minister, and if that _Minister. had hitherto been unthr the necessity of consulting even one member of the Council, the despatch of Lord Ellen borough would never have been sent out to India. Lord PALMERSTON said the foundation of the measure was, that for the present Government organisa tion should be substituted the single responsibility of the Minister of the Crown ; and the amendment of the Lards, and the proposition of the noble lord the member for the City of London, were opposed to that principle. He greatly objected to its being wade compulsory upon the Minister to communicate his despatches to any par ticular person who was not a member of the Cabinet. Such a proposition was, in effect, shackling the Cabi net. He hoped the house would rikeat the amendment altogether. (Divide, diuide.) The SPEAKER then nut the amendment of Lord John Russell from the chair, and it was negatived without a division. On the question that the amendment made by the Lords be agreed to, The house then divided, when there appeared— For the Lords' amendment Agaiest it vent wo T su i h lrtd e hj e n .b e poe x ati t ttor a Aoi m unti e av n gel d se ; irats e h n wte t hb , ewo b hss y s:icl w der lo6 M-jority... ....... - -68 The amendment was consequently r:jscted. State Lords i n s o c u o g u h n t to il, was opposed by • h et ic a h ry t o h f e t e b f a etffheect Indianof the alterations patronage in the Secretary of State, sui , j tot only to a protest from he Council. As the bill went up to the Lords it was proposed that the patronage should be vested in the Se cretary of State, with the concurrence of the majority of the Council, and he thought they should either restore the words " with the concurrence of a majority of the Council," which were struck out in the Lords, or to vest it entirely in her Majesty, Lord STANLEY said he could not defend the Lords' amendment. The amendment was rejeo'ed without a division. The next amendment of the Lords to the same clause was objected to on the same ground, and rejected. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be convenient if he was now to move the adjourn ment of the debate until six o'clock. The motion was put from the chair and agreed to INTERNATIONAL PATENT RIGHT BILL. This bill passed through committee. The sitting was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock. [LEFT SITTING.] According to present arrangemeniff, the House of Commons will, at its rising this evening, adjourn until Friday. LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening.) WAR-OFFICE, JULY 27.

Novels (find Novelists from Elizabeth to Tictoria. By J_ Cordy Jeafireson, author of " Crewe Rise," &e. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackttt. The subject of this work is an attractive one ; it introduces to our consideration one of the most sparkling fields of our national litera ture ; it shows us a list of names that are not only held as trophies of distinction by ourselves, but are familiar to most cultivated and educated minds in Europe. The names of Defoe, Fielding, Goldsmith, and Scott, besides a crowd of followers, are sufficient to refute the old assertion that novels are frivolous, contemp tible things, unworthy the notice of persons of sense and principle. Yet, though the subject is well selected, and though the author has favourably distinguished himself by his former works, the re suit is very disappointing. In the first place, the author has attempted too much. Taking in such an extent of time, he bad better have confined his attention to a few eminent names, instead of crowd ing his canvas with minor figures, which, in true pre-Raphaelite fashion, appear out of all relative proportion. The volumes would have been much more agreeable had they been consecutively writ ten—had they formed a sort of running commen tary, comparing the merits of one age or epoch with another; ntricing how the change of manners and the spread of education affected literature ; when plays and novels led, and when they followed, the taste of the day ; how time and taste refined, purified, strengthened till the jest and scorn of the wise and wary grew into a mirror of social existence, and an instructor whose teachings of the truths of life, the best and greatest need not always despise. nstead of this general history, Mr. Jeaffresnn bas given us nothing but a series of memoirs, tome of them mere outlines, and few offering much that is novel except in the way of criticism. In this department - , certainly, noire need complain of Mr. Jeaffreson's originality, and it is on this point that he is most seriously at fault. It is difficult to believe that a writer of any degree of taste or ability, who has even formed a slight acquaintance with the writers whom he treats of, should be serious in his authoritative denunciations or rhapsodical eulogies. Leaving the earlier Tolume, which seems to be more fairly written, we need but instance a few of his criticisms on our most eminent writers. It is not too much to say that the terms in which he speaks of Charles Dickens would be applicable to Shakspeare. Great as is our admiration for Mr. Dickens's unquestionable ability, we menet allow him a rank above the author of " Ivanhoe," or admit that " wherever there are men of English origin, speaking the English tongue, there the genius of Charles Dickens is one of the important facts of life." He proceeds to describe the marvel lous avidity with which his works are "read in all regions of the earth where there is a literature to translate them into," a very necessary proviso ! This style of adulation, we can hardly call it criti cism, might have been expected from an enthusias tic youth just introduced to the marvels of Mr. Pickwick and Nicholas Nickleby,.but comiag from a writer of Mr: Jeaffresou's experience we are at least surprised. Mr. Thackeray is next in rank to Mr. Dickens, "two such writers of fiction no previous age produced ;" and as Mr. •Jeaffresen's temple of fame has fewer pedestals then that of Pope's vision, no room is left for the author of " The Caxtons." " He is entitled to foremost rank amongst writers of talent, as distinguished from writers of genius ; he is a careful and well-trained artist, deficient in creative faculty. All tbat goof commonEngli..hintelligence, applied to belles lettres, can achieve, he has accomplished, but more he has net." It will probably strike the reader that the intelligence of Mr. Jeaffresou's common acqcaint mace is about as ordinary in its character as the existence of that very rare quality—common sense. He may possib'y be somewhat surprised, toe, after reading the above delicate distinction, to come to the following passage—though, it is true, surprise is early 1. ft behind in Mr. Jeaffreson's pages :—" It is needless to say that Mr. Wilkie Collins is generally regarded as a man of commanding genius, and one destinel to occupy a principal place in the Republic of Letters." Mr. Lesreelee novels are spoken of with a kind of pious horror, with the ex ception of " Henrietta Temple," which is ranked far above its more brilliant and distinguished suc cessors. But we have said enough to display the taste, moderation, and judgment of one from whom we should certainly have expected better things. If it be true that "Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss," Mr. Jcaffreson had better resume his old profession, where at lust he has the chance on his side. He has proved, very c?rtainly, that he is not one cf those who are "born ti judge," and that an au!hor who has written very entertaining novels is decidedly unfitted for the arduous task of weighing the meri's of his predecessors and contemporaries. Natiotta/ Airs and other Songs : harmonized Airs. By Thomas Moore. Longman and Co. Moore's Melodies are so frequently on our lips, both oraUy and vocally, that no formal introduc tion is rept red for these charming volumes, wherein Apollo brilliantly displays his fascinating duality, and blends the truest of poetry with the choicest of music. M..cre rendered a great benefit to his fellow-creatures when he exercised his genius in giving words to the delicious airs which have been hummed and trolled, time out of mind, by every man, woman, and chill possessing "an ear." "A. thing of beauty is a joy for ever," and the reproduction of these mellifluous themes in such attractive form, proves that they legitimately belong to the imperishable, its far as mortal duration can reasonably extend. The first book, containing the Irish Melodies, issued some time since, receivei our commendations in warm terms of eulogy, and we can only assert that these present publications, completing the series, are in uniform style and excellence, claiming the admiration of all who appreciate the combinat on of elegance and convenience. The portable size of these volumes is a great advantage, and a lady can convey them to a neighbour's for the purpose. of enjoying a friendly morning practice, or delight ing an evening circle, without the expense of a cab or the attendance of a "button boy." The harmonic arrangements are perfect ; as the names of Sir John Stevenson and Sir Henry Bishop fully testify ; and the adaptation of " The last rose of sum mer," and "Rich and rare were the gems she wore," for four voices, are among the most entrancing specimens of concerted strains we ever met. " Sing, sing Music was Given ;" " Has Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded ;" "The Young May Morn," and numerous others of our olden favourites, claim especial notice ; but where all are enchanting, it is difficult to select. We most cordially recommend this beautiful edition of some of the most beautiful lyric poetry and melody extant ; to the patronage of our readers ; for the volumes constitute a perfumed musical bouquet calculated to set the spirit dreaming, and "lap It in the Elysium of sweet sounds." Spinal Deformity : Cases and. Observatioats. By Samuel Hare, F.R.C.S. Second edition. Churchill. The miserable deformities c ured by his humane and sagacious treatment authorise us in every way to designate the writer of this very curious pam phlet as professionally, and, in the truest sense of the words, a 'practical pbilintbropist. Mr. Hare's record of " Cases and Observations" corning within the range of his own practice, are directly illus trative of the benefical results obtainable by close attention and perseverance in some of the most un promising instances of Spinal Deformity—resul obtained, moreover, it should be observed, without the use of ste el sta y s or an y other similar con trivances. The cases are carefully given, and ren dered yet more comprehensible by a series of terrible engravings. They constitute the record of a series of successes in many respects very tem , irkable. They refer variously to casesof lateral cut vat ure, of excurvation, of intetva.ion and of angular pro jection. Besides the pamphlet under notice, Mr. Hare is the writer of an authoritative work on the Curvature of the Spine —a volume which has elicited the commendations of the Lancet and the Medical Gazette, as well as of other professional journals, besides running to a third edition witbin a comparatively short time from the date of its original publication. GALE AT LIVERPOOL.—LIVERPOOL, July 26.--During the whole of Saturday night and early on Sunday morn. mg a sev e r e sa l e visited this town and port, the wind blowing in heavy squalls from the north-west. In the town trees were blown down, and some darna:;e was caused in exposed positions to the roofs of houses, but no case of personal injury has been reported. A number of casualties to the coasting shipping have been reported at the UNderwiiters' rooms, including the following : The schooner Miceral, from Barrow for Ellesmere-port, laden with iron, was driven on shore near Southport, and became a wreck, the hands being saved by the Southport lifeboat. A vessel called the Thornton ran ashore opposite the Clarence-dock, but came cff at the flood tide. A sloop has been reported as having dis appeared near the West Boyle Bank. The schooner Sally and Ann, from Whitebaven, arrived this morning, reports that two of her hands were washed overboard and lost. The steamer Mona's Queen, from Douglas Liverpool, reports having seen a piece of wreck, &p -part of a pati , lle-box, fl sling near the Bell B iaiy. A schooner was seen t.) stiike the b sal:s inside of the Bell Buoy yesterday, and she became a total wreck. The Mona's Queen also rep orts having seen three mast-heads upright about Eve m iles north-west of the Bell Buoy. 1 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. —(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE RANELAGII SEWER. Viscount TORRINGTON said be had received a letter from the engineer of the Metropelitan Board of Works with reference to the returns h e h a d move d for in connection with the Ranelagh Sewer. The lett er informed him that the returns had already been printed by order of the house. He had• answered that letter, stating that the returns already printed did not contain the information required. Until he received a reply t o that answer, he ehonld abslain from any remarks on the subject. THE LATE MR. TURNER'S PICTURES. Lord ST. LEONA.R DS asked whether there was any intention on the part of t`te Government to build a gal lery annexed to the National Gallery, to be called the Turner Gallery ; and whether they intended to transfer the pictures now at Hampton Court to the National Gallery Tbe Earl t f DERBY said he entirely agreed with his noble and learned friend that it would be a great mis take to transfer the pictures from Hampton-court to the National Ga lery. It was, undoubtedly, the intentien of the Government to take steps to provide additional accommodation f tt e various treasures of art presented to the country as soon as they were re lieved from the pressure of Parliamentary business.

On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the Warrington and Stockport Railway (capital), aid the Clyde N • aviga lion Bill, were read a third time and passed. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH BILL. The third readieg of this bill having been moved by the Earl of DERBY, Lord REDEIDALE and Lord STANLEY of ALDERLET offered some of jection, on the ground that the original agreement had not been carried out as was intended by Parliament. The third reading was negatived without a division. CORNWALL SUBMARINE MINES BILL. The standing orders, after some discussion, were sus pended, in order that this bill, which was to settle the rights of the Crown with respect to certain minerals in Corn wall, between high and low water marks, might be read a second time. THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. Lord LYND auftsr, in rising to put the question of which he had given notice to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs with respect to the right of visit, said,—Your lordships, no doubt, may most of you have read a speech which was made by Mr. Dallas, the Ame ricau Minister, a short time since, at a meeting of his fellow- ,übjecls to celebrate the anniversary of American independence. On that occasion the hon. gentleman stated that the question of the right of visiting American vessels in time of peace on the high seas had' heei finally settled. This is a subject, my lords, of so much import ance a:.d such deep interest that it is material thet wo should receive a clatieet and precise account of the terms on which t'iat settlement is based ; and I have therefore given notice of a question which I intend to prop ise to my not.le friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in order that he may give us some exalanation on the subject to which I have referred. Many persons —perhaps I ougU not to say " many persons," but se veral persons, teed those in a high political position— appear to think that Veat proceeding was not justified, acid that in point cf face we have eurrendcreq a incat valuable and iaiportant right. The ace vet' which I inake to that is that we have surrendered no right, f irthat, in point of fact, no such right as that which he conteuiled for has ever exited. We have abandoned the assump tion of a right, nod in doing so we have, I this k, act , d j istly, pruderoly, and nicely. (Hear, hear ) N.,w, my lords, with your permission, I eteall pre seed t make a few observa bins upon the general qneitior; and to refer to some authorities on the euliect ; t us I •aesure you that I 5h0.,11 not have troubled you were it riot that I think it is of great importance that this question elieniii ho distinctly and finally mideretood and settled The first propositim wbich I stain is this :—Tnat in ro writer on international law has that rig! t ever been ass. red ; and, in the next piece, that there is no decision of any c-curt of justice having juriediction to decide such questions in a hich that right Las been admitted. I wish in making this asser ion to fortify myself by some authorities ; and I cannot qusts as higher it a better authority than that of the English judge Lord Stowell, who s , atos distinctly, in the words which I nue about to read—in' confurwi y with what I Lace , toted—that no such right has ev.r been asserted by any competent authority. His words are these— " I can find no 'authority that gives the right Of inter ruption to the ravigatien of States in amity upon the high sees excepting that which the rights of war give to both belligerents against neutrals." This is a distinct statement made by that noble lore, in addition to which I beg leave to refer to the authority of Wheaton, who states the proposition in these terms— " It is impossible to show a single passage in any insti tutional writer on public law, or the judgment of any court by which that law is administered, which will jet'- tify the exercise of such a right on the high seas in time of peace, independent of special compact." So that your lerieliipe perceive that both on this side of the water and iu America, by the best authorities and by the highest jurists, that right, in the peesagee to which I have referred, is controverted instead of bei- g :daeitted. (H.,ar.) It has beer. agitated long between this country on the one side and America on the other. Tile eminent jariet on the other side of the water makes his etwetnent and assertion ; tour correepondieg suttee - rity on this side of the water makes bis assertion—and those assertions directly and distinctly agree. For ma self, my I rds, I have never been able to discover any principle of law or reason on which that right conld be supp o rted. I will refer nein to the same high English au' hority—Lord Stowell—upon this subject, and y 4 u shall hear what he emphatically states with respect to it. Teat distinguished jurist says— " No nation can exercise the right of visitation and. search on the high seas except on thu belligerent No such right has ever been claimed nor can it be exer cised, without the oppression of interrupting and harass ing the real and lawful navigation of other countries, for ' the right when it exists at all is universal and will extend to all countries. If I were to press the consideration fur ther it would bs by stating the gigantic mischiefs which such a claim is likely to produce." I may add that another very high authority— he Arne• riean Judge Storey—in a well known case expressed the same opinion in almost the same terms and in lan gunge as emphatic. So here again is a coincidence of I authority between the two parties agitating the gni-anion --the authority on this side of the water cerreepani ing ex icily with the authority on the o her. But I do not think it necessary to refer to any ewes in support of the question I am considering ; I will refer only to the principle on which the question rests. What is the rule with respect to the high seas and to the navigati in n f the high seas ? All rations are equal upon the high seas. Whether they Le wrong and powerful or weak and imbec le, all are on a looting of perfec t equality. What is the position of a niercbant ship on the high seas ? to she ship is part of the dominion of the country w . • one nation to tn belongs, and what tight has the ship of . other natter where the tell: re with the ship of sty , righte of both are eve! ? The principle is so clear and so distinct that there can be no doubt about it. I am unwilling on is qoestion of this kind to refer to any ar guments of my o en, cr to any authority which I can possess on the subject ; but hear what is said by Lord S owell with respect to the navigation of the high seas. His language is this All nations being equal have an equal right to the un interrupted Use of the unappropriated parts of the ocean for their navigation. Ire places where no local authority exists, where the subjects of all States meet on a footing of entire equality and independence, no one State or any of its subjects has a right to assume or exercise authority over the subjects of another." That is a confirmation of the doctrine which I have stated, that the principle on which this question is to be decided is the equality of all nations on the high seas. Admitting this principle how can it be asserted that the ships of one nation can interfere in any way with the vessels of another Then, having laid this down, the consideraaion next occurs that difficulties may arise out of frauds which may be prat) hod on the high seas, and it is said that the flag of America may for fraudulent purposes be assumed by another Po war. But bow can the acts f a third Power, or of the subjects of a third Power, by poesibilty affect any right existing on the part of the United States Take this case :---By our treaty with Spain we have a right to visit and search Spanish vessels with a view to prevent the slave trade. But how can that agreement between us and Spain by any possibility affect the rights of America? Clearly in no way a t a 11. But then what arc our cruisers to do I They are placed in a most difficult position, because it is quite clear and plain, if one of our cruisers see a tie ssel hearing the American flag, and have reason to believe that that fi g is assumed, he nits - . examine and it quire into her right to carry that flag as best he can. It the result should be to give biro a strong suspicion:that the vessel bas no right to the flag she beire, he may visit and have an examination of her papers, and if he then find that his suspicions are correct he may deal with her . its the manner in which be would be justified in dealing with her as between. England and the country to which she belongs. The American Government has ao right to interfere in this ease. The matter is entirely, between the English cruiser an d the vessel seized. But , if d as should turn out that the vessel is an American, an st b of a right to use the flag the situation is this — he course apologise for his act?, and make sienspelessoocy I cation for any injury done.
