Metropolitan Tolle.—The report of the Right /lon. Viscount Eversley, the Hon. Colonel Pennant and Mr. Wrightson, ~ the Royal Commissioners, Was presented to the House of Commons on Friday. It is not yet printed, but it is stated it shows that the Royal. Commissioners took a great amount of trouble in the inquiry, and in the end they report in favanr of what must be a coercive measure against those parishes in the outer area which have not taken to the roads like those in the inner area. When printed we shall refer again to the subject, but it is satisfactory to see that the Commissioners have been fully alive to the necessity of stringent measures to induce the parish authorities to get rid of what Sir George Lewis has termed the " metropolitan strait waist coat " six miles round London.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. Nearly all kinds were dis posed of at aboid previous quotations. There was very little inquiry for either spring corn or Hoar; nevertheless, prices were mostly supported. The continental markets have ruled heavy for wheat on easier terms. In the United States produce generally con tinues to give way in price. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad were liberal, viz., 17,032 qrs. wheat, 3 120 barley, 26,568 oa t s, 977 beans, 1,640 pea s , 3 , 490 lins?ed, 13,570 oilseeds, 1,165 maize, 110 sundry seeds, and 2,279 sacks of flour, e c e o e m nt m in e u n e c n e e rn e e e n t t l ofha r wahaitywfitiorek w i n E t s h e e s Only a m o d erate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to-d a y , coastwise and by land-carriage.

We had a slaw inquiry for barley,, at late rates. A Pared of new barley, of thin quality, was offering. The malt trade was very dull, and inferior qualities of malt were freely offered on lower terms. The quantity of oats on the stands was large, and the oat trade ruled heavy, on rather easier terms. Beans were very dull, at barely last w3ek's currency. New white peas were disposed of at 435, and new grey at 37s per quarter. Flour was dull, at barely the late decline in value.

CENTRAL AMERICA. Whilst the British public have been bent on the destruction of Petro Paulowski and Sebastopol, leaving the French to arrange for the quiet occupa tion of Egypt by the commercial agency of a canal ; —whilst the Russian has been allowed-to establish himself in Villa Franca, and France to complete the late quiet arrangement whereby Italy is to be still further enslaved, pendulous between the tyranny of Austria and the sympathy of France ; —whilst fears have been entertained lest Russia should subvert our Indian authority, and France convert the Mediterranean into a French lake, we haverepeatedly called the attention of the mercantile classes of this country to the condition of Central America. The present Emperor olthe French has evinced a desire to dictate to. Europe; but the mari time country that shed possess Central America will be in a position to rule the world. This was the opinion of Louis Napoleon when a prisoner in Ham. He had time to study the map, not only of :Europe, but also of America; and on his escape, he pub 7 lished i n L on d on a pamphlet showing the feasibility of connecting the Atlantic ?:icy Pacific C)NPAIR by thP, River San J uan and the Lake of Nicaragua. This rout has since teen virtually taken possession of by the United States, by ineauS of the bombardment of Gre—town and the disorganisation of Nicaragua, e , ieeted by th e piratical aid o f William, Walker. For several years past the secret diplomacy of the Foreign -office has led to the belief that P, r iii s h interests in Central America were to be The Unit e d S tates, with a keen P:Zl °"Jandoned. eption of the future, put their own construct Clayton Treaty; and, kn '.on on the Bulwer --`nving that this construc tion would no ,, t. bnr the test of reasoning, re fused to subr,- -ic the matter to arbitration, and de mpded +' --Lc Great Britain should yield up the Be,y , ands and relinquish her protectorate over the Mosquito Indians, who have ever been silent , enough to defy the Dower of Spaiu„. and te; faithful to the British in affording them sheher, wood, and water, and in rendering other assist ance when Great Britain has bee . n at 'war with Spain. Nay - , so, far did th;:s lims of fatuous policy etoAdk that thel'e Wag, even a fear that the British se.ttlErks in Belize might be reduced to the same position that American diplomacy would assign to the Mosquito race —the same right that a buffalo has upon the prairie, or a turtle on a sandbanl-4, -It is. with considerable pleasure, therefore, that the eye rests on one or two small items in the " Civil contingencies" just presented to Parliament by her Majesty's comman d . From these we learn that Mr. Moir, the presiding magistrate of the Bay Islands, has recently been sent from Jamaica to be formally installed in his duties in the islatd of Rnatau. And we further learn that, though it pleased Lord John Russell once to stigmatise the head of th e M osqu i to race as a " phantom king," yet Lord Malmesbury has not hesitated to remove thr reproach by having him publicly recognised by hid title of "King of Mosquito," and entertaine on board her Majesty's ship Valorous at the expense of the British nation, There is also a rumour that Lord Malmesbury has put one dangerous question at rest by inducing the Republic of Guatemala to settle the boundary of British Honduras, so that the settlement of Belize will be assured that it is not the intention of their brethren at home to leave them to the mercies of any set of filibusters a weak or iOOI,IS, Government at Washington may en courage or permit to attack them. These acts of Lord Malmesbury show that he has more sagacity about him than his opponents gave him credit for ; and we trust his foresight will not be defeated by the apathy of the present Government. It is with oausiderable pleasure, also, that his lordship cast the first stone at secret diplomacy on Fridayuight, when he regretted that the rules of the craft did not allow him to clear himself from imputation whilst assisting the cause of peace in Italy.-- Liverpool Albion. • TERRIBLE RAILWAY CATASTROPIIE IN AMERICA. (From the Cleveland Herald, Acne 29.) The most dreadful railway disaster which ever appened in America took place the night before ast, about 12 o'clock, about two miles east of South Bend, Ind. A train, consisting of six cars, was totally demolished,. and over seventy persons were killed. The precise number is not known, but no less than sixty dead bodies had been recovered at the date of the latest intelligence. People were searching for more. It is stated that there were 150 passengers in the train, only 75 of whom are now living. We think the estimate of the whole number is rather small. When the train left the city, at eight o'clock p.m., there were two first-class cars crowded to excess, one sleeping car comfortably full, one second-class car full, and one emigrant car empty. The latter was taken along for Ilie_./mrpcse of carrying down a number of railroad hands, who were taken on board at Ainsworth, Calumes, and other stations along the road. Among the passengers were a number of Chicago people,, of whom w e h ave th e names of only of L. P. Hiliard, E. Dickinson, Mrs. Sumner, and some others. David Runnion, late proprietor of the Revere House, left the train at South Bend, two miles this side of the place of the accident. A passenger on the train, just arrived in the city, gives us the following account of the fright ful calamity :—He was in the sleeping car at the time of the accident, and was startled by a sensation as if the car was jumping on the bare ties. Then came a crash and a plunge downward into a deep abyss. The car turned over 02 its side ; but being the last car in the train, and strongly built, did not break up so badly as the others, and therefore pro tected its occupants from severe injuries. The train was a heavy one, containing five well- . filled passenger cars, besides the baggage and mail car. The tr ain was about half an hour behind time previous to. reaching the fatal spot. About ten o'clock on Monday night, two hours before the time of the accident, a tremendous rain fell throughout that section of the country, flooding the fields and swelling the streams to considerable bulk. The surviving breaksman says that the train was run with great caution over all the culverts pre vious to reaching the fatal culvert, but on nearing the latter the speed was increased to twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, as this culvert was considered the most reliable on the road. On reaching the gap, which was about one hundred feet wide, and about thirty feet deep, the train first fell on the old trestle work which crushed beneath the weight, and then leaped into the chasm. The engine fell at the base of the farther bank, and buried itself in the sand. The baggage car, two second-class cars, and two first-class cars piled into one mass, and drove each other into the earth. The sleeping car ' fell on its side on the top of the pile of shattered cars . Every man connected with the train, except the conductor, one breaksman, the conductor, of the sleeping car and his boy, were killed. When the uninjured passengers crawled out, the scene is said to have been awful. Scarcely dis tinguishable in the darkness lay a pile of shattered wood and iron, and about 150 dead and dying per sons, part buried in mud and sand, and part wash ing away in the boiling torrent that swept down to the St. Joseph's river, but a few rods distant. The conductor and breaksman set out to seek succour at the stations of South Bend and Misha waukie, whilst the uninjured passengers built fires around 'the spot, and carried off some of their wounded fellows to the neighbouring houses. It was nearly three hours after the accident before succour arrived from the nearest towns which were three or four miles distant. A strong body of labourers were brought down by the people of the towns, and the work of digging out the dead and wounded commenced. Tuesday afternoon 32 bodies had been taken to Mishawaukie ; eight or ten Were reported taken to South Bend. Some 10 or 12 bodies were reported to have been taken up about 10 miles below, on the St. Joseph river. About a dozen of the wounded have scarcely a chance of life. Some five or six labourers who were on the train report that about 20 of their fellows are yet miss ing. It is supposed they remain buried in the sand, or have been washed out into the St. Joseph river. Very few of the passengers escaped death or frightful injuries. The scene on the banks of the ravine, a passenger says, was truly awful, as one may well suppose ; but he says the amount of human misery am ong the wounded was terrible to behold. In the Misha*aukie Hotel he saw a fine littl e b oy, about nine years old, with his left le g b ro k en, and almost open through the thigh ; while the right leg was cut completely off. He was f a ili ng fast, and it was impossible for him to reco ver. H e was one of a family of five children, with the mother, who were going to meet the father and the husband of this family. The mother is killed, a daughter is miss ing, and another boy i s woun d ed, b ut not ser i ous l y. He is in the same room with his wretched brother ; while he saw another of the young ones, six years old, dead, having had his face completely cut off. The bodies of the females were not much mutilated. into the passenger go t out of the sleep i ng car the current and was swept along; but in going down he luckily clutched hold of a tree, and by that means effected a landing. One woman, who was on the train with her hus band and fi ve c hild ren, ran w ildly a bout all night seeking h er f am il y, b ut w i t h ou t suc cess, until morn ing, when she found them all dead. She then went to a far m h ouse, a f ew yar d s off, where, after sit ting som e m i nutes, t h e wre tched wife and mother expired, T I ON: SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock, TATTERSALLS"-(THIS EVENING.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(rms EVENING).. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that, on Thurs day, he should present a petition from the Archd eaconry of Buckinghamshire, praying that no alteration might b 6 made in the marriage law. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Exeter in favour of tke Endowed Schools Bill. Lord REDESDALE presented petitions from Kidder minster and Glasgow in favour of the Sale of Gas Bill. - -- --- THE ITALIAN QUESTION.--- ---- The Earl of MALMESBURY begged to ask the noble earl opposite (the President of the Council) whether the de spatch which appeared in the papers that day addressed by Lord John Russell, on the 22d of June, to the Govern ment at Berlin, advising Prussia not to enter into the war, was authentic, and if so, whether there would be any objec tion to lay a copy of the said despatch, with the answer thereto, on the table of the house ? Lord WODEHOUSE said the despatch was in sub stance correct, there were some inaccuracies that must have occurred in its translation—(hear, hear)---but a copy of, the - document would be laid upon , the table. The noble earl had said in anotherplace that the present Go bu t he vernment were Wodeh following out th e course he had chalked out, (Lord ouse contended that if there was oe line of policy th e noble earl had specially chalked out, i n t was that of preventing Prussia from interfering in the war. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that as England had had nothing to do with war, or in making the marvellous peace, this country would take the full benefit of her insulation. After a few words from the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Earl GRANVILLE the subject dropped. THE STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Lord CRANWORTH rose to call the attention of the house to the fourth report of the commissioners for consoli dating the statute law. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Forth and Clyde Naviga tion and the Maybele and Girvan Railway bills were con sidered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Epping Railway; Isle of Wight Railway (Eastern Sec tion) ; Llanrwst and Abergele Roads ; London and North Western Railway (Sutton Coldfield Branch), changed from " Birmingham, Erdington, and Sutton Coldfield Railway (Western Line) ;" Norwich and Spalding Railway; Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway; Sandwith's Divorce (Lords) ; South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway; WaveneyValley Railway; Wells and Fakenham Railway. On the motion for the third reading of the Chicester Har bom- Embankment Bill, Lord C. PAGET said that the Board of Admiralty ob jected to the bill on the ground that the proposed embank ment was injurious in a military point of view, as batteries might be erected on it and directed against Portsmouth har bour. The inhabitants were also opposed to the bill, considering that it would if passed have the effect of injur ing the local navigation of Chichester. The noble lord concluded by moving that the bill be read p third time that day six months. Mr. BUCHANAN supported the bill. Mr. H. BERKELEY also supported the bill, and re ferred to the favourable i - eport of the select committee, who had overruled the objections of the Admiralty, after a care ful inquiry. Mr. KER SEYMER said that he felt bound to support the amendment. After some conversation, in which Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Bonham -Carter, Mr. A. Smith, and Sir E. Colebrooke took part, the bill was read a third time and passed. The amendments to the following bills were agreed to, and were read a third time :—Baganelstown and Wex ford Railway, Bury St. Edmunds' Gas, Cleveland Rail way, Dubli n an d D rog h eda Railway, Mlford Bridge and Banbury Road, Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lanca shire Railway Companies, Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway, Newry and Armagh Railway, North Eastern and Badele and Ley' burn Railway Companies Amalgamation, Perth, Kinross, and Fife Roads, South Staffordshire Railway, and Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway. BRITISH AND CANADIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the motion for the consideration of this bill, as amended, Lord DUNCAN moved the following amendment :—To leave out clause 30 (giving power to the Treasury to make agreement with the company for use of telegraph on her Majesty's service). He deprecated the practice that prevailed of giving guarantees for the expenditure of public money by means of private bills, which he considered afforded a suffi cient check. He also proposed that clause 22 should be ex punged. After some discussion the debate was adjourned until to morrow. FISHING VESSELS PASSING THE NORE BILL. On the motion of Mr. M. GIBSON, the following com mittee on this bill were nominated :—Mr. M. Gibson, Sir J. Duke, Mr. R. W. Crawford, Mr. Bramston, Mr. Deedes, and Alderman Salomons ; and five members to be added by the committee of selection—five to be the quorum. GALWAY HARBOUR AND PORT ACT (1853) AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. LAING, the committee on this bill was appointed. DESPATCH TO THE BRITISH MINISTER AT Mr. S. FITZGERALDBE RLIN gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the noble lord the Foreign Secretary whether the despatch which appeared in the evening and some of the morning papers on Saturday, from the noble lord, was authentic. THE ANTRIM REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY Ar KINSALE. Mr. SCULLY asked the Secretary of State for War whether any report had reached him of the conduct of the Antrim Regiment of Artillery at Kinsale on the 12th of July ; and, if so, whether he had taken any and what steps in regard to that regiment ? Mr. CARDWELL said that a military and a civil in quiry liad been instituted in reference to the subject, but the reports had not yet been received. LONDON CORPORATION REFORM BILL. In reply to Sir J. SHELLEY and another hon. member, Sir C. LEWIS said that he proposed to move the second reading of this bill on .Frlday night. He would postpone the further progress of the Highways Bill. THE BUDGET. The house having resolved itself into Committee of Supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said—l presume it will be for the conve nience of the committee if I should follow the usual practice, and make known the results the receipts and expenditure— of the present year before discussing the plan of Government. When he came to test the estimates of the financial scheme of the right hen. gentleman who preceded him in office, by experience we were enabled to ar- rive at certain conclusions, but in some particulars it was necessary that there should be some further knowledge as to the working of those changes, before they could arrive at a satis factory conclusion as to their results. The right honourable gentleman had estimated the receipts from the customs at £23,400,000, while they produced £24,117,000. The right hon. gentleman had also estimated the excise receipts at £18,600,000, while they produced £17,901,000. The estimate with reference to the income tax w as that it would realise £6,000,000, while the actual produce was £6,668,000. being about a half a mil lion more than was anticipated. With regard to other items it appeared that the charg e for the national debt was £ 28,575 , 00 0, and for the consoli dated fund £90,040,000, while the expenses for the army were £ 12 , 515 , 000 ,and for the navy£13,215 , 000 . The total receipts for the past year amounted to £64,663,300, and the receipts to £65,477,000, leaving a balance in Thefa duty on Irish vour of the latt er r of about £BOO,OOO. spirits was expect e d to realise £500,000, and though it did not reachtha therefore that I sum, they i t could had d n ot n o t bee n s a y o h w eques, there ou l anticipated. were in operation, an d da t h mu a t oy t u on n i t t d not eventually produce th e With no means regard of f knowing e exactly what was the amount realised from that source of the revenue, as it was mixed up with the duty on stamps. The exemption of persons receiving met;tey from the operation of the tax from this source Ras regarded as a hardship by bankers, and he proposed to make an alteration in re gard to the existing law, which lie hoped Would remove all just grounds of complaint. ____ . 7_ ,. .........imm...................... • I He now came to a graver portion of the question —to consider the estimated revenue andexpenditure for theyear which was nowoccurring. The committee would be aware, from the estimates which had been presented, that the expenditure would be unusualy kirge, and would veryconsiderably exceed the ways and means whi c h th e ord i nary revenue would sup ply. The Customs for the year, which commenced on the Ist April last, and ending on the 31st March next, were es ti ma t e d to yield• £23,850,000; the Excise, £18,530 , 000 ; the stamp duties, £8,100,000; the land an d assessed taxes, £3,250,000; the in come tax, 5,600,000; the Post-office, 3,250,000; the crown lands, £280,000 ; and the miscellaneous re ceipts, £ 1 ,530,000. The total of these items was, in round numbers, 64,340,000. He now - came to the estimated expenditure of —the current year. The charge for the funded and unfunded debt was estimated at £28,600,000, the consolidated fund at £1,960,000 ; the army - and militia service, £13,200,000 ; the navy and packet service, £12,782,000 ; the civil service, £7,852,000 ; and the estimate of the charge of the revenue de partment, £4,740,000. In the miscellaneous de partment there wasjan increase of between £580,000 1 and £590,000 on the same estimate of last year made by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. Add ing these items of expenditure together it would be found that whereas the revenues for the year would amount to £64,340,000, the estimated expenditure of the year would amount to £69,207,000 showing a gross deficiency of £4,867,000, and that was the sum with regard to which the committe would have to consider the question as to what manner provision should be made to meet it. Next year Parliament must come to the general consideration of our sys tem of taxation. Next year the Income-tax would lessen, and not only the Income-tax, but certain war duties charged on teas and sugar would also cease and therefore he held that it would be best for Parliament now to legislate for this year only, which he considered was not the fitting time to enter upon the consideration of prospective finance, but rather to consider temporary or permanent '; nonce. Large as were the items of the estimated expendi ture for the services necessary to the defence of the country, he should not apologise for them, because they had been received and voted warmly and enthusiastically by Parliament, and because he believed that if the Government, from the in formation it possessed, had thought it necessary to ask for a still larger sum the patriotism of the Legislature would have cheerfully supported it. (Cheers.) There was a deficiency of nearly £5,000,000 to be provided for, and the question would be whether the sum should be raised by having recourse* -to • borrowing or by taxation. (Hear.) The committee would have to consider whether the present was an occasion upon which recourse ought to be had to the expedient of a loan for such a sum as £4,000,000 or £5,000,000. It was a large surn,:itwas true, to require from thettap;•x -p;• yers of this country, at a short notice, but, on the other hand, it was not an amount which had ever driven Parliament to adopt the expedient of an addition to the national debt, and he cal culated that nothing but dire necessity should in duce the Legislature to adopt that course in time of peace. He therfore was averse to having re course to a loan. The question then presented itself whether, in order to supply the defi ciency they ought to look to direct taxation, or to an augmentation of indirect taxation. ' In selecting articles for taxation, those that presented the readiest sources of revenue were malt, spirits, tea, and sugar, but he would take that op portunity of stating that there was no in tention of augmenting the duty on malt. Then with respect to operations he thought that as up to the present [LEFT SPEAKING.] • 7.ERNESS SILEEP AND WOOL FAIR. (Fronz the Inverness Courier.) Our annual Sheep and Wool Market--so impor tant to the whole northern counties—commenced nominally on Thursday and closed this evening. The attendance was larger than that of last year. In addition to our old friends from Lancashire, Cumberland, and the South of Scotland, many new purchasers appeared, while tenant-farmers from all parts of the Highlands, Caithness, and the Eastern Counties, were present. Few proprietors attend the market—a circumstance to be regretted, for the mingling of landlords and tenants on occasions of this kind, could not but prove advantageous to both. The state of the weather and condition of the crops exercise, of course, great influence on this market. There is still a want of rain ; but the improvement of the crops since the beginning of the month is very remarkabable. No doubt they look their best just now, and when they begin to ripen the effects of the drought will be more evi dent in the deficiency of bulk, but upon the whole the harvest prospect has greatly brighteued. Grass is also freshened up. and the aftermaths promise by their luxuriance to compensate in some degree the extreme poverty of the hay-crop. The turnip crop generally suffered much from drought and an some places from high winds ; but it is mending, and the later sown fields particularly are as forward in this district as they were last year. In addition to these rural prospects, the state of trade generally throughout the kingdom has an important bearing on the market. This is highly satisfactory. The manufacturing districts are fully employed, and the excellence of our trade has been stimulated by the prospect of peace. Hence wool has greatly advanced in value. The late wool sales established a rise previous to the peace, and the ad vance has been greatly increased by that fortunate event. Dealers would have advanced more freely for sheep had it not been for the indifferent promise of the turnip crop, of which, however, fully enough has been made by the buyers. It is generally allowed that but for this cause the prospects of the sheep trade never appeared better. The stability of the present vigorous state of commercial matters is confidently relied upon, and the ease in the money market is held to support the idea even of a consi derable improvement. d n o d y. a e u In discussing the se ques tion s our f r iends_ at the ln market spent most of Th ur sday and F no former year wa s the r e less business done and the market has been emphatically a ap proximate, Friday evening. Buyers and sellers could n n ot pto . stiff one. But we are happy to say it has al so the advance over ss. to 7s. per st one proved a good market. On Cheviot wool over last year's prices is from in some cases still more. Blackfaced wool was less e dis sales were in demand. The market at Fort-Willi am, next week, is yth a e nd be s s t t oc fi k e , ld an f dn or he the c osal of then b ot pressed here. We believe th e bl ackfaced wool has not kept its place in the manufacturing dis tricts so well as the Cheviot. Formerly it was largely used in the carpet trade, and sold higher in proportion than the Cheviot ; but it is now only used in the worsted manufacture, as foreign wools —lndian, Russia, &c. —can be obtained at lower rates. In sheep the results of the market have been a sligh . t reduction from last year's prices on wed ders, in consequence of the uncertain prospect of ices the turnips, though i n several instances last year's pr were maintained, and in a few an advance of is. took place. On ewes and lambs there has been a rise of from ls. to 2s. Some of the principal lots of wedders are unsold, but on the whole a great amount of business has been done. In wool the demand has gone on increasing all day, the price advancing. Clips which sold last year at 16s, per stone, sold readily this afternoon at 225, and 235. The finer fleeces went at prices varying from 225. to 245. 6d., and in one instance, it is said 255. was obtained. THE DINNER —FRIDAY. A large party, numbering upwards of 120 gen tlemen, dined together at the Ordinary in the Ca ledonian Hotel. Mr. Macdonell of Morar officiated in the chair, and the occupiers were Mr. Macleod, Kingsburgh ; Captain Macleod of Orbost, and Mr. Houston, Kintradwell. Mr. Spinks provided an ex cellent dinner, after which the cloth was removed, and the company proceeded to what may be de scribed as the business of the dinner. FEARFUL OCCURRENCE AMONGST THE JEWS IN PETTICOAT- LANE.—Yesterday forenoon, at a few minutes before 12 o'clock, considerable excitement was caused in the vicinity of the Jews' Cl o thes Exchange, Barnes-passag e .
