The Ministerial majority of 67 on Friday evening, respecting the Government of India Bill, was followed by another of 65 last night, by which the amendment of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was rejected, and the elective principle affirmed ! The sth resolution was (after a fruitless motion that the chairman should report progress, nega tived by a majority of 84,) carried without a division. The plan so strongly advocated by the self-constituted leaders of the Liberal party— Lords J. RUSSELL and PALMERSTON—WaS dis posed of by the independent party, who have proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, their determination not to march through Coventry with men whose political characters have been worn so completely threadbare, and assumed an appearance so ragged and seedy. Lord Joior RUSSELL was, as usual, the pioneer. His adventurous hand is always ready to attaok any obstacle, and he there fore took the command of the experimental squa dron. His object was to have all the members of the Council nominated by the Crown, i.e by .) the Minister for the time being. He cared but little wheth er the term of the service was for life, or for a protracted or brief period, provided the bete noir of independent election was set aside. Under that Bystera there could be no possibility of perpetrating a Whi g • b, or makinc, comfort able provision for a RussE LL or ELLIOTT, a G REY or WOOD. ilinc illcc iachry mm. Hence the c omplaints against anything that conf ers the mn c h coveted patronage on other hands t hose that of the responsible advisers of the Crown. The motives of the Noble Lord were, how ever, too transparent. They could not be mis understood by any person, however prejudiced. Lord STANLEY had already explained the serious THE SIIN, LONDON objections to nominations either during good behaviour—virtually for life—for long terms of L F 4ST _NEWS years, or for short periods, with power of reno- 1 mination. If appointed for life, or, like the ' Judges, during good behaviour, there would be the chance of their becoming incompetent from age or ill-health ; and public opinion could not be brought to boar on them as in the case of Judges, who are subjected almost daily to the strictures of a most critical audience. A long term of years would be equally objection able. There would be a total absence of responsibility, and also of motive for exertion, while the party might be compulsorily removed at the moment when he was most efficient and his services were most valuable. The short period, with the privilege of renomination, would be perhaps the worst of any, for then the party would always seek to curry favour with those through whose instrumentality he might hope to retain the enviable position he was occupying. The principle of election by an independent constituency, for a moderate term, is not open to any of these well-founded objections. Then the member can maintain his own ♦iews without greatly caring how palateable they may be to the Government of the day. He has nothing to fear from its animosity, or to hope from its favours. He must look to the wishes and desires of those by whom he was elected, and from whom he may again hope for a similar mark of confi dence. Of course it is essential that the Crown should be represented in such a council—that men of groat eminence just returned from India, and thoroughly acquainted with the existing state of affairs, should be enabled to ob tain seats without being subjected to the delay and annoyance of a contested election. A few should, therefore, be nominated ; but the majo rity ought to come before a constituency, on whom it would be impossible to exercise madue influence. The qualifications of the members, and the nature and extent of the constituency have yet to be decided ! On these points Sir JAMES GRAHAM has a hobby of his own. He wishes to build on the old;foundation—" stare super anti " quas vias." With this purpose he desires to make the new council as like the old Court of Directors as possible, and that the members should be nominated in the bill, and approved of by Parliament, holding their offices dam se bene gesserint, and to be mainly selected from the present Court. Those suggestions will be consi dered, but although they may be partially acted on, we scarcely think that they will supersede the Government resolutions. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The resignation of General Espinasse is accepted and M. Delangle, President of the Imperial Court of Paris, is appointed Minister of the Interior. General Espinasse receives a seat in the Senate. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Plenipotentiaries met in conference to-day. The admission of the principle of the political Repa ration of the Principalities has been confirmed in an unguarded moment of candour by the Govern ment print, the Patric. But the short paragraph which announces it has cost the Patrie a sound rating for its indiscretion, and orders are sent round to its complacent contemporaries not to copy the Patrie. So much for the liberty of the press ! It is indeed rather mortifying that, after all the vapourings of the Moniteur and the Ministerial press, the pretensions of the political union of the provinces have to be renounced, and the chance of some brilliant foreigner wearing the Moldo-Walla- Chian crown are considerably diminished. The Courier de Paris gives the following account of the election for members of the Council-General at Dijon. Marshal Vaillant obtained 1,075 votes against 516 given to M. do Bourceret, the Opposi tion candidate. M. Vernier, Deputy and Mayor of Dijon, obtained 935 votes, against 302 given to M. Gavalre, the Opposition candidate. M. Detour bet, the government candidate, obtained 737 votes against 350 given to M. Magnin Philippon, the opposition candidate. M. Chevalier, government candidate, 954 votes against 475 to M. Luce Veil lard, the opposition candidate. It is said that the military authorities have de cided that it is not expedient to institute any legal proceedings against the military meu engaged in the late duel in which M. de Pene was wounded,. the civil authorities having negatived the proceed ings against the civilians. The weather, which was much cooler in Paris on Friday and Saturday, is nearly as hot to-day as it was previous to tLe rain last week. The thermo meter marked 92 Fahrenheit (331 centigrade) in the shade at 3 p.m. Fortunately, the heat is tem pered by a light breeze from the west. BOURSE, June 14.

Midi Western' 590 Strasburg Grand Central Sardinian Austrian New Ditto 750 Lyon and Mediteran.. 768 i New Ditto - Geneva CANDIA. Private letters from Greece speak of the disturbed state of Candia as more grave even than is generally reported. One third of the population of the island is composed of Mussulmans, and most of them have been obliged to abandon the open plains and come into the fortified places. Moreover, a certain number of Christian families have aban doned the country and pne to the islands of Syra and Milo, which belong to the kingdom of Greece. If the charges brought against the Governor, Yely Pasha, bo not exaggerated, the Christians must have greatly suffered ; and he, too, must have greatly changed. No man could be more tolerant, more liberal—to all appearance—in political and religious matters than Veiy Pasha during his resi dence in this country ; and he was about the last person supposed capable of such acts of oppression. It is thought there is more in it than meets the eye as yet. The Cambridge-House conspirators have hit on another artful dodge to displace the Government, for whose places they are craving. Having failed in persuading the Independent Liberals that they should array themselves under the PALMERSTON RUSSELL motley banner, in order to attack a s - •alled Tory Ad ministration, they are now striving to create dissension in the ranks of the Derbyites, by showing that more has been conceded to the Liberal cause than either could or would have been by Lord PALMERSTON. They are appealing to the bigotry of the ex treme section,! to the Spooners and Newde gates, et hoc genus omne. They, who professed to be the unflinching advocates of Jewish eman sipation ,groan in spirit at the settlement of the dispute, which they took care to keep open, as a for midable instrument against their opponents. They complain because the property qualification has been given up, and the gigantic sham abolished. The prospects of the extension of the county franchise, of the annihilation of church rates, and of a fair and well-considered reform bill is hateful to their sight, and the more so because others will receive the credit which they desired to monopolise for themselves, if haply they should be forced to swallow the leeks forced upon their unwilling stomachs. The dodge is an artful one, but it will not suc ceed. It will merely excite disgust, and indig nation at the tortuous course pursbied by those, who, when in place, received a far more liberal and generous treatment from their opponents. The howl of the Times, acting, of course, in obedience to instructions from head-quarters, is against the Derbyites carrying measures which their ad versaries could not and would not pass. They hint, as if it were a reasonable ground of com plaint, that in a short time there will be nothing objectionable to give up—no shred or vestige of Toryism remaining. Is not this what the country requires, what any but the members of the Cerberus Club would hail with triumphant pmans ! Such measures were urgently required. They have been granted, but . , like naughty ur chins, we must assail our benefact)rs, who bring us really good things, and cry out for old nurse PALMERSTON, who, although liberal of promise, is notoriously scant of performance. The people will not, however, be so easily duped as either Lord PALMERSTON or his organ may imagine. They will look to the real facts and think for themselves, notwithstanding the spas modic efforts of the Times to warp their judg ment and betray their interests. The Govern ment do not leave an opening for the attacks of the Leviathan in one direction, so ano ther is sought for, and sneers against the weakness of the Ministry are substituted for fierce onslaughts against their resisting the popular will. But where was the strength of Lord PALMERSTON—Was he not also holding offic3 merely on sufferance ? Although he attempted to disguise the fact by contumacious , and insolent treatment of all who fell beneath his lash, his personal follow ing was far inferior in number, standing, and ability to that of Lord DERBY ; and ho must at length profit by the bitter lesson wbich he has received, that it is no longer possible to humbug the British Parliament or the British nation. °c l u E c ß r e z r f a I r S g T i Ir a F3 ' will 13 THEATREgi vnext,favourite opera on Th e Thursday principal characters being cast in this remarkable man ner :—Lucrezia Borgia, Madlle. Titiens ; Orsini, Mena. Alboni ; Alfonso, Signor Belletti ; and Gennaro, Signor Giuglini. The minor parts have, with laudable artistic feeling, been undertaken by Vialetti, Beneventano, and others ; and the principal artists of the establishment will assist in the prologue. Such a revival cannot he otherwise than attractive in the highest degree. Madlle. Titiens, by her interpretation of such parts as Valen tine, Leonora, and Donna Anna, has already prepared us for a grand delineation of the terrible passions and equally terrible ' sorrows of the sister of Caesar Borgia. The " Brindisi " has been completely identified with Mme. Alboni, and consequently her assumption of tip part gives an additional interest to the opera. The won derful organ and delicate intonation of Signor Giuglini, especially in passages of pathos, warrant the most san guine expectations as to his execution of the exquisite melody in the prologue, and his portion of the grand trio with Belletti and Titiens in the first act. Sir Charles and Lady Lamb have left the Clarendon Hotel, for Beaufort, near Battle, Sussex. The family and friends of the celebrated Lady Morgan have been for the last two weeks labouring under the greatest anxiety on account of her rapidly failing health. It is now understood that her ladyship is in imminent danger, and her medical advisers have renounced all hope. The numerous icquiries after the illustrious suf ferer at her residence in Albert-gate, prove the extent of the sympathy evinced for her in the world of literature and fashion. Mr. Dalglisb, M.P., has placed 1001. at the dis posal of the Abstainers' Union for the erection of a tent in the Green for Sabbath service of a practical character, by clergymen of the city.—Glasgoto Daily Mail. COMMISSION Or LUNACY ON SIR H. MEUX.—The pro. oeedinge were resumed this morning, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's, but up to the time we went to press nothing of importance transpired. NAPLES. A telegraphic despatch received. at Naples an nounces that the electric cable between the citadel of Messina-and the new fort of Reggio was success fully sunk on the 4th of this month. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 10th do not contain any political news. The Queen had sent one of the officers of the Royal household to the Asturias to prepare for her reception, and had caused an appli cation to be made to the Marquis de Santiago for permission to occupy a fine mansion which he pos sesses at Airles. The Novedades of Madrid mentions a horrible crime. A little boy, aged 9, son of a gentleman named Portero, of Ciudad Real, was lately carried off by a gang of bandits, and a ransom of 200,000 reals was demanded from his parent 4, to be paid by a given day. The ransom not having been sent, the boy was barbarously murdered, and his dead body was thrown into a well, at a few hundred yards from the wall of the town. WEST I NDIA MAI L. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 14. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Capt. F. Woolley, arrived this day, at 11 a.m., from the Wet Indie3, with the usual mails in charge of Lieut. Pickell, Admiralty agent. On her home ward voyage the Atrato experienc©d very fine weather. _ . . The laiest dates brought by the Atrato are : Santa Maitha, May 22 ; Gray Town, 17 ; Dome rara, 25 ; Trinidad, 25 ; Caithagena, 26 ; Jamaica, 27 ; Grenada, 26 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; Jacmel, 28 ; Antigua, 29 ; St. Kitts, 29 ; Nevis, 22 ; Mont serrat, 29 ; Porto Rico, 30 ; St. Thomas, Juno 1 BARI3ADOES. There has been a very agreeable change in the weather during the last fortnight, and one or two parishes have finished crop, and the others are pushing on rapidly to a close. - It would be pre mature to state even a probable aggregate of the crop through the island, but it is generally ex pected to be in excess of last year's. Notwithstand• ing the adverse weather which the greater portion of it will have been reaped, the produce expected to date amounts to 29,679 hhds., 2,529 trs., 8,182 brls., sugar; 4,321 pnns., 113 hhds., 239 brls., mo lasses ; 355 puns., 100 hhds., rum. The public health continues good. _ JAMAICA. The business of the last fortnight has been marked with a little more activity than usual. Coffee in very small supply, and there is no pimento offering. The health of the island continues good, and the weather very thy ; and should this weather continue it will have a very serious influence on the growing crops. ANTIQUA. The commission appointed by the governor for the trial of the persons concerned in the late riots, was opened on the 10th instant—the chief-justice presiding—and up to the latest date 35 true bills had been found by th 9 grand jury against some 70 persons. DEMERARA. The papers report the arrival, on 10th May, of Governor and Mrs. Wodehouse from Martinique. The crops were looking well. TRINIDAD. No news of any importance. The weather had been very dry, and the want of rain was much felt. ST. THOMAS. The weather had been very fine, and not a single case of fever had been reported amongst the shipping. THE PACIFIC. By the arrival at Southampton of the West India mail steamer Atrato we have received files of the Panama Star and Herald to the 24th ult. The steamship Lima, Captain Bloomfield, from Callao, Hay 12, arrived in the harbour of Panama on the afternoon of the 21st. In Peru President Castilla had issued orders for a general election for President, Vice-Presi vent, and Congressmen. The Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates in the field were Cas tilla and La Mar, Elias and Villarte, San Roman and Castillo. The contest would be between the two former. From Valparaiso we have files of papers to the 30th April. The election excitement had died away, and the fear of an outbreak was for the pre sent removed. The Government party had a ma jority over the Opposition. Don Jeronimo Urme neta, Minister of the Interior, had resigned. Dr. Phillipi had made an examination of the province of Valdivia, by order of the Government ; his re port was iooked for with much interest. A number of emigrants from the Tyrol were shortly expected to arrive in Chili. Coal of good quality has been discovered in Chiloe. The latest dates from La Paz are to the 28th. The President, Dr. Linares, still continued to adopt rigorous rueisures to check the various re volutionary movements. The press had been silenced, and no person, either publicly or in private, was allowed to express an opinion on the acts of the Government. The arrival of General Belzu was anxiously looked for by the party op posed to the present government. Considerable attention had been recently at tracted to the gold washings of Tipuani, and two companies had been formed in La Paz for the pur pose of exploring the mines. A very severe shock of earthquake was experi enced at Lima on the 11th, which lasted 50 seconds, and the alarm and confusion were frightful. Busi ness had been very dull for the last few months, owing to the few vessels that had been chartered by the guano contractors. A large fleet of Ameri- I can vessels was in Callao Bay, waiting for charters. The ship Gladiator reported having, in the latitude of Coquimbo, experienced the shock of an earth quake, and the brig Globe also reported having felt the same at sea.

Racing mon will quite enjoy their daily ride through the pleasant glades and over the breezy downs, to and from the picturesque course at Stockbridge. The sport will be just sufficient to excite interest and qualify curiosity, without fa tiguing the spectator ; whilst the absence of all crowd and noise will render the proceedings doubly pleasant. To morrow will be devoted to the equestrian exploits of the members of the Bibury Club, and they will agreeably inau gurate the sport in the South. The only event on which I shall " advise," as the Tipotus have it, shall be the Champagne Stakes, which seems likely to be won by Marionette. It has been remarked, with truth, that the list for the Stockbridge meeting seems like a large slice cut out of a Goodwood programme. Certes on Thursday a rsre day's Sport will be afforded, and it is a significant proof of the popularity of the Stockbridge meeting, that horses from the far North are eent to contest its stakes. On Sunday morning early I met George Abdale seated on the van which contained Ignoramus, en route to the Waterloo Station. Thn Triennial Stakes for four year-olds will be won by Anton. Beadsman ought to carry off the Triennial Stakes for three-year olds • and the Triennial for two-year-olds may go to either Bouquet or St. Clarence. The Stock bridge Derby I &hall assign to Eclipse ; and the Mottisfont to Actaeon. The Steward's Plate is likely to afford a most in teresting encounter ; and Fisherman will, perhaps, a second time encounter Sedbury, and he will also have to try his strength against Ignoramus. Should Fisherman have Wells up, I shall not be among,t his opponents. Northern turfites will have quite a jolly meeting at Beverley. The sport commences to-morrow, and will be brought to a conclusion on Thursday. The list contains 13 items. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSA.LLS' - YESTERDAY. the early part of the afternoon, as usual at this period of the year, wag occupied is settling accounts. Herne supplanted Underhand as first favourite for the Nor thumberland Plate. At first Bto 1 was laid against the latter, whilst 5 to 1 was offered against Herne ; at last, however, 6 to 1 was the highest offer against Underhand. For the Goodwood Stakes, Harry Bluff was at the close as good a favourite as Rosati, who receded from 100 to Btol4to 1. Offers were made to back Harry Bluff for an even 100 against anything. The horses inmost request for the Derby were Mujid, Ticket-of-Leave, Balnamoon, and Electric.

TUE:S DAY F. VENI J a ITNE l5, A'Ql7 A T ICS. SCULLERS' RACE FOR 601.—A ecullers' race, though by no means an exciting one, came off yesterday for the above amount, over the Metropolitan course, from Put ney to Mortlake. The competitors were Thomas Can• non, of Wapping, and George Wade, of Ratcliffe, both well known to fame ; and, that the contest might be witnessed, the Venus had been chartered, and was full. The conditions were that Cannon should have two lengths' start, \Vade having defeated him a short time ago ; and the distance having been measured, they took up their stations at Putney, Cannon winning the Mid dlesex side. They presumed the distance for 200 yards, when Wade began to come up, and soon went by him, but at the end of a mile Cannon was again ahead, soon after which they fouled, but, continuing to row, Cannon went right away, and came in first by a long distance. No decision with respect to the funds has been come to, the referee reserving it. SCOLLERS' RACE POE £6O A-SIDE.—The match between Robert Bain, of Lambeth, and B. Ox!ade, of St. Paul's-wharf, takes place on Thursday, June 24. Bath men are in excellent condition—Bain being under the care of George Driver, and Oxlade under H. Salter. The Venus steamer is hired for the occasion. The betting is in favour of Oxlade, the other being a landsman, and his first appearance as a sculler. The Marchioness of Waterford, shortly after her lady ship arrived in town from the Continent, left to join the noble marquis at his scat in Ireland. Baroness Adolphe de Rothchild has arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from Naples. Hamburg advices state that money finds more em ployment, and that there is a tendency to a revival of commercial activity. Notwithstanding the fall in grain in this country large purchases seem to be taking place in Russia. According to the last letters from Odessa, the purchases for the week just ended bad included 63,000 quarters of wheat and 34,000 quarters of barley, Indian corn, &o. The prospects of further gold shipments from that country must therefore be proportionably reduced. BITE OF A VIPER AT HAMPSTEAD. —Yesterday, Mrs. Hoz well, of Park -street, Regent's-park, was walking in the fields in com p an y w ith some f r i e nds at West-end, Hampstead, wh en s i t ti ng d own u p on the grass she was bitten by a viper that lay there concealed. The reptile was k red. Mrs. fox well was taken with all baste to the nearest surgeon's, who applied the usual remedies, and she was removed to her residence, but is nob ex pected to survive. THE MURDER NEAR NEWCASTLE-ON -TYNE. — Two lengthened investigations were held on Wednesday and Thursday, into the circumstances of the murder of Jane Kayne, at St. Anthony's, Newcastle-on -Tyne, on Sun day morning, the 30th ult. The following men were charged with being concerned in the murder :—Joseph .Tohnson, Andrew Bertram, Jas. Cameron, and John Sloane. The magistrates determined to commit them all to the town assizes to take their trials upon the charge of wilful murder. ACCIDENT TO MR. WILLIAM COOKE, JUL-011 Thurs. day evening, in the spectacle entitled "The White Pal frey," Mr. Coeke's steed had to fall wounded at the report of a pistol, when the horse pranced too high, and fell with the rider's leg under him, the ankle being se verely hurt. Mr. Cooke went through the performance with some difficulty, and, we regret to say, he has not since been able to leave his room.—Era. FREEDOM OF M.P.'s FROM ARREST.--A bill of Mr. Mint, M,P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., and Mr. Knightley, M.P., abciishea freedom from arrest or imprisonment in the case of members of Parliament, upon the judgment, rule, order, or decree of any court of competent jurisdic tion. The privilege of freedom from arrest is rather un certain in cases .of a dissolution of Parliament. An at tempt was made at the general election of 1847 to ar rest Mr. W. S. B'ackstone, the ex-member for Walling ford, on the hustings and in the same year Mr. T. S. Duncombe, the member for Finsbury, was actually ar rested on a judgment debt in Yorkshire, after his elec tion, and temporarily incarcerated in a debtors' prison, from which, however, he was released by a judge's order in chambers, on the strength of a well-known dictum of Blackstone, which the Court of Queen's Bench, on ap peal, declined to disturb or dispute. 1858. labttton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE JEW BILL. The Earl of LUCAN said he proposed to take the second reading of his bill on Thursday week. He had ascertained that that day would be convenient for Lord Lyndhurst to attend. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it would be better if no day at present was named but that the bill should be proceeded with when both the Earl of Derby and Lord Lyndhurt were in their places. The Earl of LUCAN thought, under all the circum stances, the arrangement he had made should stand for the present. MANNING THE NAVY. Lord BROUGHAM inquired whether a commission had been issued to consider the best means of manning the navy. The noble lord thought as thecloud had passed away between this country and France, the present op portunity was the best that could be selected for such a purpose. The Earl of MALMESBURY said a commission to inquire into the best way of manning the navy had been issued. He should be sorry if it was supposed from the observations of the noble lord that the navy at the present moment could not be efficiently manned at a very short notice—(hear, bear)—or that men were not ready to come forward at the shortest notice to man a sufficient number of ships to defend the channel. (Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM was very far from doubting that there were men ready to come forward. His observa tion was that at the present moment the Navy was not sufficiently manned. The subject then dropped. , LA.W OF FALSE PRETENCES BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not intend to oppose the present bill, but he must remind him that a bill with a similar object bad been already introduced into the otber house. He thought the best course would be, in the event of the bill to which he had alluded passing the other house, that both bills be then referred to a select committee. The bill was read a second time. PROPERTY QUALIFICA.TION BILL. The Earl of FORTESCUE moved the third reading of this bill. Lord RAVENSWORTH warned their lord ships against passing measures of this description, and he regarded the present bill as a concession to popular clamour. He considered that the bill, instead of being satisfactory to the democratic portion of the public, would only induce them to make further efforts to obtain the other points of the People's Charter. The Earl of CLANCARTY concurred in the obser vations of the noble lord who had just sat down. He considered that the present bill had been hurried through the house, and that it had not received sufficient con sideration. He thought the worst results would follow the passing of the bill, and the effect would be that the proper balance between property and democracy would be thrown down. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. THE MEMBER, FOR GREENWICH. Mr. FITZROY moved that the adjudication of bankruptcy against Mr. John Townsend be read by the Clerk.—Agreed to. Sir D. LE MARCHANT (the Chief Clerk) then read the record of adjudication, dated 29th March. Mr. FITZROY then moved that the 52d George 111., chap. 144, be read. Sir D. LE MARCHANT read the section of the act re ferred to, relative to the right of members to sit and vote in that House after becoming bankrupt. Mr. FITZROY next moved that Mr. J. Townsend, a member of that house, having been declared a bank- rupt, he was incapable of sitting and voting. Mr. TOWNSEND considered it was his duty towards his constituents, himself, and the house that he should offer a few observations in explanation of the votes he had given on several late occasions and the reasons for retaining his seat. Since he had had a seat in that house he had endeavoured to conform to the rules and regulations. He had never, in a single ins - twice, thrust himself on the society of any hon. member, and if he had erred in taking his seat and voting since the adjudication, he had done so in ignorance, and not in defiance of the rules of that house. It was perfectly true that an adjudication in bankruptcy had been filed against him in consequence of heavy chan cery proceedings over which he had no control, and the persecution of certain individuals, but he hoped that within a few days, or, at the furthest, within a few weeks the bankruptcy would be superseded. He had but one harsh creditor, and he should never rest until he had paid his debts in full. He submitted there was a very divided opinion as to his right under existing circumstances to sit and vote in that house, and he believed he was justified in his sitting and voting since the adjudication. It should be the pride and pleasure as well as the duty of the strong to pro tect the weak, and he appealed to the law officers of the Crown, and hon. members on both sides of the house that might follow in discussion, to consider well the legal points unknown to him, and which had been brought forward in support of the motion. He had endeavoured to ascertain the law on the point, and he found great doubts existed. The hon. gentleman quoted the case of Sir R. Price as one similar to his own, when the hon. baronet was allowed to sit and vote after an adjudication in bankruptcy Repeatedly since/the adjudication he bad received circulars from hon. and learned members, urging him to attend and vote on certain questions before the house ; and so late as yes terday morning he received from an hon. and learned member of that house a similar circular. He (Mr. Townsend), therefore, considered he had acted right in sitting and voting since the adjudication. He complained of the conduct of the right hon. gen tleman (Mr. Fitzroy) in giving his notice of motion for a copy of the record of adjudication without first communicating with him and asking an explanation of the proceedings ; and he was not aware of it until it was communicated to him before his voting on the motion for altering the county franchise. Being in the hou-e, and haviPg heard the question put, he considered himself bound to vote on the motion in accordance with the rules of the house, and he accordingly did so. He considered the act referred to did not apply to a member passing through the Bankruptcy Court, but after his having passed through the court. It was said he ought to resign the representation of the borough, but he begged to assure the house there were 30,000 true, honest, and independent men belonging to the borough of Greenwich who would not allow him to be put down. They cared not, whether the repre sentative was possessed of 50,0001. or 500/., a-year. All they cared about was, that he should not promise on the hustings to undertake more than he would be ab!e, to the best of his ability, or more than he was willing, to perform, as their representative in that House. Where there was so much doubt as in this case now before the House, he consieered it was his bounden duty to attend and express by his votes the opinions of his constituents on the questions that had come before the House. He would retire during the discussion of the question before them, and whatever was the result he should consider himself bound to obey it. The hon. gentleman then retired. The SOLICITOR - GENERAL said the House could not approach the subject without reluctance and regret. It was a duty, however, which they must discharge, and he had no possible doubt on the construction cf the act referred to. The construc tion of the act was that an adjudication was a enspeneion of the functions of a member of parliament during twelve months subject to this, that any time within the twelve months he could supersede the bankruptcy or pay his creditors in full, and on his informing the house of what he had done he then ipso faro became re possessed of his rights as a member of that house. Should no arrangement of that kind become to at the expiration of the twelve months the seat would be void. He supported the motion. After a few remarks from Mr. J. Fitzgerald, Mr. Sergeant )3:mesh and Colonel French, the motion was agreed to. - Mr. FITZROY moved that the votes given by Mr. J. T ownse nd since 7th June last should be disallowed.— This motion was alas agreed to. SALE AND TRANSFER OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. Sergeant DEASEY said compansationishouldfbe provided in the bill f ir Mr. Flanagan, one of the trus tees of the Encumbered Estates Court, who bad for many years filled the office, and had given up another to accept it. Vie ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland said it was not desirable to make a distinction between Mr. Flanagan and the other offieers. After a discussion, in which Mr. J. Fitzgerald, Lord Naas, Mr. Mousell, Mr. B. Osborne, Colonel French, Mr. Barrow, and Mr. Horsmaa took part, the house went into committee on the bill. Clause 1 and 2 were agreed to. On clause 3, a question arose whether there should be three judges of the Court, or only two as provided by the bill. The discussion occupied the house till ten minutes to 4 o'clock when by the forms of the hcu3e the sitting was suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock and was left sitting, LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening.) ST. JAMES'S PALACE, JUNE 11.

The magnificent Exhibition - of what are termed American Flowering Shrubs must be seen to be at all appreciated. It is . impossible to describe in adequate terms the gorge ' ous beauty or skilful arrangement of these "floral gems of the western world"—which have happily become naturalised in this country and now constitute the most charming ornaments of our parks, conservatories, and pleasure grounds. Every possible variety has been ob• tained by a series of daring, but, fortunately, successful experiments ; and the blending and harmonising the tents has been accomplished by a master hand. We know nothing in any capital of Europe that can compare with this extraordinary show, which represents a scene of almost fairy enchantment. The coolness of the atmosphere adds to the sense of enjoyment, relieving from the terrible lassitude occasioned by the intense heat of the world outside. We would, however, remind the public that these beauties are fleeting. They may now be witnessed in the highest degree of perfection, but a week may, in some degree, impair their charms, and reduce their (=be• rant bloom. The second of the Saturday fetes was eminently suc cessful. A numerous and highly respectable party as sembled to do honour to the enterprising proprietor, and to enjoy the varied amusements which he has plabed within the reach of all.

DREADFUL MURDER IN STAFFORDSHIRE• The county of Stafford has again been the see?! of a brutal murder. The particular spot at who!' the tragedy occurred is called Brockmoor. It c l i d an outlying district in the parish of Kingswinfor on the confines of Worcestershire, a few Ya ra : within the Staftordsbire boundary, and abony three miles from Dudley. It is a populous locallY, within the South Stafford mining district. The cii cumstances attendant upon the commission of the murder, and the motive of its perpetratio n, are involved in much mystery. The facts, so fa: as they are known, may be briefly stated. o ,i l Thursday afternoon tho murdered man was drips,' ing with a friend at a beerhouse at Brockmoor• His name was Wm. Collier. He is supposed to have been a native of Manchester, where he reside!, , until within a comparatively recent period. He war by trade an engineer, and worked as a fitter fa. l Messrs, Brown and Freer of Brockmoor. fie," ll l said to have been about 42 years of age, an". widower. His friend, Jabez Onions, was a nati ve of Bilston, in Staffordshire, and also a fitter . hl trade. He is said to be of roving, unsettled habits, and to have been in the navy. He was out of e'_ e ploy, and, calling at Brown and Freer's on Thu m , day to ask for employment, was invited by bf friend Collier to have some drink at a neighbo ur ing beerhouse, to which they adjourned, and re ; maimed drinking from noon until ten o'clock. ll ,„ night. The quantity of ale they consumed dur vi : that time came to 12s. 9d., and was put down t e l ls fellow-woikman of Collier's who had lodged a t „g beerhouse, Collier having no money and b e . almost almost a stranger. In ',the course of the eve ol 7o Onions remarked that he should have to staii°„ d all night, wheifeupon a man who was drint et with them offeeed him phare of his bed ; but CoL„ ` l , l objected, insisting that Onions should accomPT o him to his lodgings at Dudley, and spend :7 4 night there. This was agreed to, and shortly s e ";. o ten o'clock they started for Dudley, Collier bei.° o leaving the beerhouse getting his breakfast r o filled with ale, which he took away with 11 ,, 1 ig Nothing further was seen of them until five ocius' e a on the following morning, when a man 1: 14131 ,0 Sheldon, in going from Brockmoor to work o ., e r .
