It has been evident, for some time past, that I angry feelings are being engendered between the Egyptian Viceroy, IsmAIL PACHA, and his liege Suzeraine, the Sultan CAliph, ABDUL Aztz. There has bean, more or less, a consciousness of this, ever since the SULTAN and the VICEROY were over here together—or rather, not together, Lut simultaneously. The jealousy which has been springing up between them has arisen, on the one hand, from the preten sionsof theVICEROY, and on the other from the doubts thereby awakened in the mind of the SULTAN as to the sincerity of his VICEROY'S allegiance. There can be no doubt of this, that, whereas ISMAIL PACHA has been more profuse in his attestations of loyalty to the SULTAN than any one of his im media' e predecessors on the Viceregal throne— than his uncle SAID, than his cousin ABBAS, than his father IBRAIIIM, or than his grandfather MEHEmEr—the present Viceroy of EGYPT, has evi denced more conspicuously than any other member of his family an eager solicitude to make good his advancement among the ranks of the European Sovereigns. To this end he has got the succession altered in favour of his eldest son, in preference to his younger brother, FAZIL MUSTAPHA. lie has aspired, moreover, to the modification of his own title Obtaining the assent of the SULTAN to his assumption of the all-but-regal name of KHEDIVE, one advancing ,him not only beyond all the PACHAS, but even placing him above the BEY of TUNIS. Recognizing the force or pressure of these pretensions on the part of ISMAIL PACHA, the Sultan ABDUL Aziz not unnaturally has marked with jealous curiosity the recent tour of his VICEROY through many of the principal Courts of Europe— noticing with something like suspicion the magnifi cence of the reception accorded to him by the various European Sovereigns. When, moreover, in addition to this the Sublime PORTE takes cognizance of the fact, that those Sovereigns of Christendom have been invited, that is to say, either themselves or their representatives, to be present at the inauguration of the Ship Canal through the Isthmus of Suez, by the PACHA himself, as though he were no longer VICEROY, but actually King of EGYPT—it can scarcely be matter for much amazement that the ru?er of the whole Turkish Empire, of which Egypt is in point of fact little more than one of the integral parts or provinces, should at length begin to manifest a feel ing, almost one might say, of indignation. The inti mation is at length at any rate . given to the VICEROY that his ambitious pretensions are considered at Con stantinople to be really becoming somewhat excessive. Either they must be modified, or there is imminent risk of their leading to a rupture between the SULTAN as the Sovereign of the whole Empire, and the VICEROY as his delegate or representative, in the wielding of authority over the Egyptians. European diplomacy, there can be little doubt of this, however, will in the friendliest spirit, alike to SULTAN and to VICEROY, apply itself earnestly to the task of bringing about a timely reconciliation between the Pacha of EGYPT and his SUZERAINE at Constanti nople. As matters now stand, it is only fair to the latter to state that his VICEROY is in a manner the aggressor—lsmatt, PA CIIA having caused this est range ment between himself and the Sul:lime Porte, by his overweening efforts to assume the pcisition of an in dependent Sovereign. IT is not probable that there will be an early " appeal to the country" on any question; otherwise the Great Waste of Time in Parliament Grievance ought to be considered in the " platform " of every enlightened constituency. But electors will no doubt have the opportunity during the recess of drawing their representatives' attention to the crying evil of useless talk, and it is to be hoped that they will not fail to profit by it. The nation is suffering deplo rably from superabundant parliamentary _oratory. Whatever may be the lerits or demerits of the Reform Act, it seems tohave materially increased the number of talkative The affliction, which has long been ;athering in intensity, has at length become intcerable. No one, indeed, can doubt that it would bfa grave error to restrict the full discussion of weigity affairs in Parliament in order to gain time. The nation was troubled with talk enough respectin; the Irish Church ; but the topic was one of the fist moment on which it was desirable to have ever species of information, and hear every shade of option. Many matters, how ever, which occupy valuable time are not only the reverse of important, bui they obstruct the con sideration of valuable bill. It may be necessary to endure verbosity in , onnection with a great public measure; but it is intolerable that needful reforms should be kept bac . ; through absurd motions, which have no chance of access, or which are never meant to succeed. The proceedings in the House of Commons on Tuesday night afford a string example of this evil. The Scotch Education Billwas the chief business set down for the evening sitting. After some gentlemen had unsuccessfully endeavcured to promote the very, very slow progress of tlis measure by a count out, Mr. FAWCETT inaugurated the reign of talk by a motion to free the Fellowships and Scholarships of Trinity College from all religious disabilities. Now, most people admit that the change in the circumstances of the :rish Church must involve some modification in the system of Irish University Education. But nothing in that direction can be done this year. If it be impossible to pass many measures which have made some progress, it is still more impossible to introduce new ones. The Secretary for Ireland admitted that the sub ject must be considered in due time, and the member for Brighton confessed that it would be useless to divide so late in the nita.b guou, tueti, raised ? Why should an important measure be kept waiting in order that half a dozen speeches might be made on a motion which meant nothing ? The importance of the topic brought forward by Mr. FAWCETT is undeniable; but there is a time for all things. Still more unreasonable was the succeeding resolution by Mr. LAMBERT to the effect that the income tax be raised to a shilling in order that 25 millions of the National Debt might be paid off annually ! The British taxpayer will doubtless smile at the idea of getting constituencies to sanction a shilling income tax ; bat it would be rash to say that the subject is not worth inquiry. The example set by America in the liquidation of her National Debt is one which ought, at least, to command respect and consideration. But it is clear that a motion to pay off twenty-five millions a year, brought up at this period of the session, is merely a hopeless waste of time. We are doing something in the way of reducing our debt ; for the last ten years the burden has been lightened to the extent of nearly four millions annually; and though it does not follow that nothing more is to be done in this way, an extra sevenpence is not to be put on the income tax in the course of a conversation. But even this escapade did not satisfy the House. After some talk about the doings of Mr. HuGGINs at Sierra Leone, the indefatigable members got to the conduct of the police in the Haymarket—the out rage on the three bank clerks, to which we have alluded—and this topic furnished occasion for seven teen speeches and remarks great and small. There is the excuse that the conduct of the police really needs investigation, but the Scotch Education Bill not the less requires passing. Some half-dozen smaller topics followed, and then the House arrived at the business of the evening. It was past midnight when the Scotch bll was reached; but the energy of the members was in no wise diminished. For two hours they wrangled, as they have done before, over the point whether the bill ought to be postponed or not. After some twenty speakers had delivered their opinion on this question, the House proceeded to divide—not on the clauses, but on the motion that the chairman report progress. After three repetitions of this amusement, the Government gave way, the sitting ended, and the Scotch Education Bill was left precisely where it was. No doubt this opposition was designedly undertaken by those who do not wish the bill to pass as the best means of frustrating its progress; but the doings of the II ouse that night as a whole can only be regarded as scandalous. Setting the Scotch measure out of the question, a multitude of useful and pressing reforms have been put off this year through this growing evil of pro crastination. As public business is constantly on the increase, the importance of saving time must be attended to or Parliament will become as hope lessly in arrear as the Court of Chancery. There is no lack of advanced measures nowadays. Some of them probably might with advantage be less revolu tionary ; the one great difficulty is to make any progress with them. If the life of man were as long now as it was before the Deluge, the ready pro crastination from season to season might be less serious ; but with a life-boundary of threescore and ten years, we cannot afford to wait a decade for a needful law.

On the 29th June a pri vate letter from the Eclipse, dated Havana, stated that the vessel on that afternoon was going to leave for the Bahamas, where her commander, Captain Henry Harvey, was to take upon himself the duties of senior officer. Captain Harvey and all the officers are reported on that date as being quite well. We may add that nothing is yet known officially at the Admiralty of the melancholy occurrence. A MERICAN ITEMS. Colonel Warren, the Fenian, and Mr. J. D. Connell recently waited upon Secretaries Bontwell and Robeson and Attorney-General Hoar at Washington, and told them of the wrongs inflicted upon the Fenian prisoners in England. They intend to lay the matter individually before every member of the Cabinet. Attorney-General Hoar was not at all gracious to them, and intimated that the invaders of Canada were a set of thieves and robbers. The New York Times says that General Jordan, tho American ex-Confederate officer commanding in Cuba, has formed a camp of instruction, and is engaged in organ ising, disciplining, and equipping a force said to be over 5,000 strong, divided into battalions of infantry and cavalry and companies of artillery. The Cubans at Washington have received news of the defeat of the Spanish troops under General Valmaseda, some forty miles from St. Jago de Cuba, by General Jordan's command, after hard fighting. They have also been informed of the defeat of the troops under General t?uesada, an insurgent leader, on the 13th and 14th of Tuly. The Tribune reports news equally unfavourable to the Cuban cause. It says that Generals Puello and Lesca admit their troops, now being decimated by fever cannot maintain themselves against the climate, one of them going so far as to say that even with a reinforcement of P; nOO men little could be done. CANADA AND ENGLAND. At a complimentary banquet given at Quebec on the 15th of July, to Sir John Young, the Governor-General )f Canada, that gentleman made an important speech. Speaking of the good relations between Canada and the mother country, Sir John said that no distrust ought to be caused by the withdrawal of troops by the Home Government. " The reasons for that reduction are such as, if enumerated, would commend themselves to every intelligent individual. In the first place, we are at peace ; and, looking at the strength of England, never greater than at present, and to her vast resources, never better in hand, and also bearing in mind the unanimity with which public opinion on questions of foreign policy is expressed, it is not thought there is much danger of peace being disturbed, or of our being involved in the trials and calamities of war. You roust recollect, besides, that in many parts of Great Britain end Ireland, especially in the great centres of industry, in the great manufacturing towns, there are vast masses 3f people toiling from year to year for a bare subsistence, end who at every depression of commerce are ?lunged into great want, while, at the same time, the country is heavily taxed. It is necessary, therefore, with a view to relieve those people, to re duce their taxation as much as possible by wise states nanship. Therefore, it is not desirable to keep up a larger number of troops in any part of the Em pire than is absolutely necessary. Then another rea son given for a diminished garrison is this—modern tactics end experience have demonstrated the necessity, if troops ere to be kept in a very high state of efficiency, of bringing them home and aggregating them in large camps such as .ddershot, so that they may be accustomed to manoeuvring n a large scale. This practice has been long followed )re the continent of Europe, and has been recently idopted in England, so that in addition to the prospect of peace and the need of economy, the efficiency of ;he army has dictated the recall of the troops from Canada. But should an emergency arise, should their presence be required here again, I think you may rely with confidence on the assurance given in Mr. Cardwell's lespatch of June 1865, that the Imperial Government would be prepared to sustain every part of the empire vith all the resources at its command." These remarks -ere received with loud applause. One of the Liverpool Gaol chaplains remarks : It is a fact worthy of mention that the number of COM nitments increases with the fine weather, and that a arm summer, with multiplied facilities to obtain labour, ills the gaol more than a severe and trying winter, hewing that poverty is not the main source of crime in ti.e The Leamington authoiitics will not allow to be listributed tho villainously obscene quack-doctors' adver isetnents which aro so copiously thrown broad-cast in the netropolis. A distributor was on Wedresda3 fined £2, and in iefault ordered a month's imprisonment, for giving away a loctor's obsct no publication in the streets. Mr. Wheelhouse, M.P., was present on Wednesday at meeting of the Leeds West Ward Conservative A •socia lion, and delivered a speech in which he reviewed the busi less of the session. He expressed regret at the passing )f the Irish Church Bill, and urged that the English Church must now be firmly supported. A telegram from Cork states that Timothy Murphy, Dne of the three prisoners in custody for the murder of Patrick Foley, near Tralee, bas given information. Foley was murdered by the other prisoners, Darby Connor and fererniah Connor. The crime was committed by blows tvith a large stone on the back of the head. Murphy was present, but was afraid to interfere, list they should murder 'rim also. From a return of the Bank of England notes in :irculation during the last twelve months, we find that the total held by the public and the tanks conjointly has never been higher in any ono week than 36,660,000, 117:d never owor than £30,511,000. Against this quantity of paper the Bank has held securities to the fixed value of fifteen mil lions, and a sum in bullion varying from .£21,C60,000, to £15,511,000, thus keeping the balance in all cases. Mr. Lowe is said to intend during the recess to visit Ireland, and to remain there for several weeks, com mencing from the beginning of September. The object of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is said to be, "to become thoroughly acquainted with the land, the railways, and the fishery questions, so that when they are brought before Par:iament next session he Tray be al le to approach their discussion with ample knowlr dgo acquired on the spot." TEA CULTIVATION IN CALIFORNIA.—The tea planted by the Japanese colony in California is doing well. The seed nuts are coming up, and the valley lands are round admirable for the tea culture. If the result shall itgive • prove a complete success,will give a vast stimulus to the immigration of Chinese to this country, and, what is better, they will come with their line of industry specially marked out for them by their past experience.—Chicago Tribune. DOUBLE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—OD Thursday the Liverpool coroner held an inquest on the body of Thomas Williams, a seaman. On the sth of July the deceased, a man named Simmons, and a Manilla man named Joan Florendo, quarrelled in Upper Frederick street, in that town. They then parted, but met again some time subsequently, when the Manilla man stabbed Williams and Simmons in the chest. Simmons died on the 16th ult., and Williams on Monday last. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder in each case. Florendo is in custody. THE WHITWORTH SCIIOLARSHIPS AND EXHI BITIoNs.—The competition for the practical work for the ten scholarships of £lOO each will be conducted by Colonel Rich, 11. E., Mr. Manby, secretary of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and Mr. Marshall, secretary of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. In addition to these scholarships, tenable for the present year, Mr. Whitworth has just offered to the Science and Art Department eighty exhibitions of the value of £25 each, to be awarded to students in the universities, colleges, and schools, public and private, in the United Kingdom. These exhibitions are to be held for one year, and the students must skew an aptitude for mathematics, mechanical science, and drawing. TILE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A FIRMER SPHERE.— The trades unions in Liverpool are making what a local palter describes as very praiseworthy areas to remove the prejudices in the public mind against such combina tions, by taking meas•.res fur securing the moral and intellectual advancement of their In embers. They are initiating a movement for the purpose of founding, a Trades Hall, the use of which will obviate the necessity of the societies transacting their affairs in public-houses. A company has been formed with this object, and the capital is being raised chiefly by the working, men themselves in one pound shares ; but the borough members and other gentlemen have encouraged the scheme by taking a few shares, and Lord Stanley has also promised his sup port. Combined with the hall, it is proposed to establish a workmen's club, reading-room, and literary and educa tional institute. Mr. James Sarnue7son is at present the chairman of the new company, and we learn that the bricklayers bare already been induced to quit their public house, and remove to a more suitable locality, pending the establishment of the Trades Hall. POLICE lIVTELLIGENCE.-77his Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A BARMAID CHARGED WITH RODITERY.—Annie Freedom, a young woman, barmaid to Mr. Berry, of the "Bed Lion Tavern," King-strcet., St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing her employer. Mr. Berry said that in consequence of continually missing money he was induced to give the prisoner (who had only been in his employ two mouths) notice to leave, m,nd after doing so, finding that he lost still more, he com municated with the police, who detected her in robbing him, and on taking her into custody she admitted that she had robbed him. Sergeant Gould, divisional detective, said that he gave the prisoner a shilling in payment of a bottle of ginger beer and she gave him Bd. change. While standing at the bar, a female, acting under his instructions, purchased three shillings' worth of brandy, and as the female was leaving he saw the prisoner go to the till and take out a shilling and put it into her pocket. Mr. Berry then came into the bar, and on looking into the till saw two marked shillings were missing ; the shilling he tendered and those tendered by the female having been marked, and thy were found in the prisoner's packet. He found 18s. iu the prisoner's box, some of which, she said, belonged to her. Mr. Knox directed the officer to make inquries respect ing the prisoner's friends, and if it should turn out that it was her first offence, and the prosecutor had no obj , ction, ho would try to get her into an institution. The prisoner was then remanded. T LIAAIES. WARNING TO DOCK LABOURERS.— Timothy Murphy, a ship keeper, was charged with stealing rice from a ship in the West India Dock. William Wells, a dock constable, stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the dock, and on searching him found a bag under his clothes, and sus pended to his braces, which contained rice. There was rice in each of his boots and in his pockets. The officer seized, in all, 21lb. of rico. The prisoner, in defence, said he was sorry for what had happened. Mr. Paget_ said a great many of thrso cases had come before him, and nothing caused him more distress of mind than to commit labourers for these wretched trivial rob beries in the docks, but labourers must bo taught to keep their hands from picking and stealing, and meddling with property which did not belong to them, and which was necessarily exposed on the qulys, sheds, and warahouses. Ho was for some time iu the habit of passing light sen tences in those cases. Ile found it was no use doing so, and he had for some time inflicted the full punishment of the law, and should do so in every case, however trifling the value of the property. Ile wished that to be made known to the workmen in the docks ; the more it was made known the better for them, lie sentence the pri soner to be imprisoned for two mouths, and kept to hard habour. ANGLO-AMERICAN BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, This Morning. Many persons assembled to see the Harvard crew go out in their new English boat, delivered to them last night, but they were disappointed. Truly the boat was launched, and they took their seats, but it was merely to ascertain how they sat her, and whether she suited in other needful respects. This having been ascertained, she was restored to the London Rowing Club boat-house to have her can vas, which had been damaged, repaired. They then went out in the London Rowing Club four, and proceeded up to Barnes with the tide. They im prove, and the boat travels fastly with them, but there is still much room for amendment, and the same defect of not getting their water early enough prevails, but they do not row so deep as they did, and there appears to be more life in the boat. -ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INS7I 7 UTION. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Thos. Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present Sir E. Perrott, Bart., W. 11. Horton, Esq., Admiral M'Hardy, Col. Palmer, Eobt. Whitworth, Esq., V.P., John Griffith, Esq., Captain De St. Croix, George Palmer, Esq., and Richard Lewis, Esq. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, rewards amounting to £3O ss. were granted to the crews of the Stonehaven, Broughty Ferry, and Wicklow lifeboats, for going off during the storms of the past month, with the view of assisting the crews of distressed vessels. The Austrian Government had just pre sented £29 to the crew of the Cambridge Univer sity Boat Club lifeboat, the Tom Egan, stationed at Tramore, Ireland, in testimony of their gallant and pers2vering services in saving the crew, con sisting of seventeen men, of the Austrian barque Mea, which was wrecked last winter in Tramore Bay. ;The lifeboat men had previously received from the institution a reward of £4l for these gallant services. Captain A. Butler, R.N., who was at the time inspecting-commander of Coast Guard at Tramore, and Edward Jacob, Esq., the local honorary secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution, were also each presented with a gold watch by the Austrian Government, in acknowledgment of their valuable and zealous co-operation on shore on the occasion in question. The silver medal of the institution and its thanks, inscribed on vellum, were voted to Mr. Thomas Dawso3, of Hartlepool, and £2O to the crews, consisting of nine men, of his three steam tugs, for putting off in the steamers and assisting safely into harbour fifty-one fishing boats and their crews. The boats had been caught in a heavy gale from N.E., which suddenly sprang up, and were in danger of being wrecked off Hartle pool on the 16th of June, when Mr. Dawson most promptly and gallantly ordered out his steamers to the aid of the poor fishermen, most of whom, however, lost their nets on the occasion. £5 10s. was granted in consideration of the ser vices of six men in promptly proceeding in their fishing boat and saving three out of five men be longing to,the fishing yawl Rover, of Portmaha mock, N. 8., which had been capsized in a sudden squal off Golspie, Sunderland, while returning from fishing on the 22d of June. Various other rewards were likewise granted to the crews of different shore boats • for saving life from wrecks on our coasts. Payments amounting to £3,325 were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. New life boats have recently been seat by the institution to West Hartlepool and to Montrose, N.B. The first boat was the gift to the society of the Ancient Order of Foresters, and is named the " Foresters' Pride." It was publicly exhibited, and launched with much éclat, at Roker, Sunderland, on Mon ' day last, on the occasion of the high court meet ing of the order at Sunderland. This is the second boat contributed by the Foresters, their first being stationed at Newquay, on the coast of Cardi gan. The Montrose lifeboat, which was presented to the society by the merchants of Mincing-lane, is to be publicly inaugurated at its station to-morrow (Saturday), the 7th instant. The committee expressed their diep condolence with the family of the late Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Wil liam Bowles, K.C.8., who since the establish ment of the institution had been a member of its committee of management and a liberal contributor to its funds. A contribution of £34 10s. was an nounced as having been received from Lieutenant G. R. Vyvyan, R.N.R., he having kindly collected that sum on board the Cape Royal Mail steamer Briton, on the occasion of her late outward and homeward passages under his command. Mr. G. Coleman of Eastry, had also sent £lO 16s, the result of a reading and concert at that place on behalf of the society. A remittance of £4OO had also been re ceived from Dr. Adams, of Bungay, on account of the " Penny Readings Lifeboat Fund," which was to be appropriated to the boat about to be stationed at Wells, on the Norfolk coast. The late Miss S. C. Childers, of Doncaster, had left a legacy of £25 to the institution. It was decided to place another lifeboat at Fishguard, South \Vales, and to use for that station the second Worcester life boat, the cost of which had been raised by Captain F. Saumarez-Fraser, R.N., the boat being named the " Fraser." The committee also decided to sta tion at Mevagissey, on the coast of Cornwall, the South Warwickshire lifeboat, the expense of which had been collected by Sir Robert N. C. Hamilton, Bart. Mr. Cardwell, the Secretary of State for War, was about to authorise the medal of the in stitution being worn, under certain regulations, by the officers and men of the army to whom it had been voted for services in saving life from wrecks on our coasts. A report was read from Captain Ward, R.N., the inspector of lifeboats to the institution, on his recent visits to lifeboat stations. The proceedings then terminated. ,--?, cil , 'to HER iILIJESTY.
