TO THE ELEC4 TORS or• BitIGF TO N. GENTLEMEN,— lAndidate for the honour of sup beg to offer myself as a C Representation occasioned by the plying the Vacanc in your ,e respected Member. lamented Death of your let I take this step in the cc ,nviction that my political opinions are in accordance with t nose of the great majority of the Constituency. I regret that the questi on of Reform has once more been postponed. It must soon 'again occupy the attention of Parliament. In order that the jus expectations of the people on this subject may be satisf„d the Franchise mu s t be substantially extended ; and deeing ,„. towns must yield th e r i ght of repre r.,y se l ntatioinn to new And rising seats of pop u l ar i ndustry. am favo'dr of the Ballot for I. consider that no man ought to int',rfere with anothe r i n the exercise of the Franchise. The rer, nt rejection, by the House of Lords, of the Bill for the 4 1 `,01ition of the Paper Duties I hold to be directly op- Pose'd, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, of Constitu tic,nal precedent. I am in favour of the Abolition of Murcia -rates. I trust that the Ministry will not endeavour to I.etain, against the judgment of their best supporters, that most objectionable clause in the Census TSIII, requiring Statement of Religious Opinion. flifra7ed. in th e act i ve pur -1 have for many years, whilst suits of a business life, devoted eauch tale time to aid i n th e efforts that have been made 'co improve the sanitary and moral condition of the workin . g c p,....__ , asses, and to spread Educa tion among all sections " '7 , ommunity. Now that I have greater leisure, I should, _ I :lmmured by your choice, endea vour to promote these ml'4 tihnilar objects in the wider sphere and with the larger in..'ll.l , ,nce of a Member of the Legisla ture. I would support 4 he strictest economy in our Public Ex penditure ; but it, should be consistent with and tend to the thorough efficiency of our forces by sea and land ; indeed, I think it unworthy of the position occupied by England in the councils of the world that our Statesmen should be de barred by considerations for our safety fl•em fearle-sly avow ing their sympathy with the nations now heroically str.ving lo attain that constitutional freedom which we justly regard as our best safeguard, azd the mainspring of our national Progress. Your Local IntereAs, which are, in fact, from the connec tion of my family with your borough, so nearly identified with my own, Would ever command my watchful attention. I shall take the earliest opportunity of meeting you per sonally, and can then enter more fully into the topics that Mow , engage public attention.

By F. B. COURTENAY, 31.R.C.5.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Today a naval expedition advanced upon Ting hae. To see the steamships from Ta-outse harbour pass Tea Island was a fine sight. The Duchayla (French flagship) led the way, and was followed by the Peiho, the Imperieuse, the Adventure, and the Peninsular and Oriental steamship we noticed yes terday in harbour. John Chinaman of the lium- • boat genus was most persevering in his inquiries as to the number of our " picey steamers." I asked if there would be any fighting at Chusan, and the reply was invariably, " We no fightey, we like gold more." Our approach is welcomed at Chusan no less than it was upon the former occasion. The islanders either conceal their feelings like con summate actors or are glad to see us, and the more dollars the merrier. Upon the arrival of the steamships at Tinghae 100 men were landed to act as police, under the superintendence of a military magistrate. . The transports will be towed up to-morrow (Sunday), and the troops pro vided with one day's rations cooked and two un cook( d, and will disembark, I believe, upon the same day. The French land 500 men. So Chusan yields without a struggle. The Chusan Brigade is to be employed simply as one of oocupation. We turn our eyes homeward, and, after thoroughly en joying Mr. Gladstone's Budget, observe how pacific China affairs look. " Ten to one if there will be a pucka' war after all," says the sub altern who meditates returning home this winter for "urgent private affairs "—viz., a Christmas dinner and the Italian Opera. Not a peace or war worn captain, longing to purchase a campaign at the price of an earthen bed, sleepless nights in dreary trenches, short rations, and whistling shells and bullets, will accept the sporting offer. At an early hour on Sunday the Pearl telegraphed " Prepare to weigh," and at noon we were all an chored off the port of Tinghae. Nothing but the most vexatious delay marked our progress. An order was promulgated that the troops should land at once, and then came a counter order. The French seized the opportunity afforded by our procrastina tion and disembarked their Marines, who rushed triumphantly with their baggage up the steep, where they safely ensconsed themselves in our old fortified hospitdl. They have, as usual, got the start of us. We have taken a gate or two, and they are masters of a fortress. If our soldiers and sailors are somewhat dissatisfied no one can wonder. It is no secret that the French were desirous of occupy ing Chusan with their own troops. To have per mitted them to take and to occupy it, if they chose, for good, might have been our wisest policy. Our army might be better employed, and have an op portunity of winning fresh laurels in the north. TINGHAE, QHUSAN, APRIL 26. A regular mail is established to run, pro tern., from Chusan to Shanghae ; I have therefore an op portunity of sending you a letter, which ought to catch the one which I despatched in a hurry on the 23d by the Grenada. It was very doubtful on Sa turday (April 20) whether there would be fighting here or not. The mandarin seemed to be resolved to fight, and therefore no time was lost in moving up our troops on the Sunday, prepared to land at once if their services should be required. The Scout was to have taken up her position under the joss -house, fortified, and now occupied by Eng lish and French Marines, and to have furnished her quota of 40 men towards the storming party, with ropes and scaling ladders. A large number of the Chinese Coolie Corps and some Sappers landed on the 24th. They are now busily engaged in carrying gunpowder, gun carriages, and various other stores into the town, which is about a mile beyond the port, and in preparing the various joss-houses for the reception of our troops. One joss-house has been very considerately left to the natives, so that they can still " chin-chin" the Devil. The Royal Artillery are to occupy the Loo-shin Temple, the Royal Engineers the City Guardians' Yanurn. Our old hospital is to act as a barrack for Royal Marines, and the Chinese Coolie Corps is to inhabit the outbuildings. The Mars is taken up for the present as a hospital ship, and all the other transports will leave in a few days' time for Hon.. Kong. Captain G r itt on , R.M ., h as b een appointed military magistrate. There is plenty of sport in the way of shooting on the island, and large parties frequent the paddy-fields daily in quest of snipe and wild fowl. The market is dear com pared with that of Hong Kong. Meat is 6d. per lb. ; bottled beer is 18s. per dozen. The appearance of a large armed force must have tended to raise the prices. PRICE 4D. STAMPED, 5D in Southern Italy, 48 hours will see the flag of liberty floating on the walls of St. Elmo. Bombino, in the meantime, lies sick at Portici, suffering from a stomach-ache. There he daily receives his Ministers in bed ; but their coun cils do not appear to be agreeable or unani mous. One hour a report reaches the fevered city that a constitution is about to be proclaimed ; the next it is drawn back from—l believe finally. Bah ! what constitution can be offered at this late hour that would be accepted by the people from their persecutors. Moreover, it was said this farce was to be enacted in order to permit the police and paid lazzaroni to do their will of pillage—dire is the fear. But this can never he while happily the splendid ships of France and England rest in the Bay ; persuaded am I there is not a man or officer who would not stop such perfidy. Five hundred ma- I rincs would take the city. But such things cannot last ; for, while many are half-starved, those who had some means through honest labour are fast losing what they had from an utter stagnation of commerce and retail business. Curious, almost incredible, but not the;less abomi nable, scenes are enacting in the barracks of Castel lamare and elsewhere by the paid hirelings of the King, called soldiers, in military attire ; not that I blame them so much as their officers, for they are utterly uneducated and ignorant, and allowed to re main so purposely. Hundreds of these wretches have returned from Palermo gorged with plunder, which they are daily offering for sale. Jewels of great value, concealed in their muskets, are to be had for carlines ; and it is a well-known fact that one brute_produced a female hand adorned with rings, which he states he had not time to draw off, How different the conduct of Garibaldi ! All the plunder he rescued from these miscreants he has returned to those from whom it was pillaged ; while on the articles taken from the churches Garibaldi has caused to be inscribed—" These articles were stolen by the troops of Francis 11., by his permission when fighting against their brothers ; and were restored by the filibuster Garibaldi, fighting for the freedom of Sicily," or wor d s to t h at effect. What say ye, gentlemen of England—Who has the real heart of a king? The chief of the police has been recently changed —that is, one Mensurati has succeeded Silvestri. I am told the change is only in name, the " rati" is as bad as the " estri." JUNE 26. On the night of yesterday, the Nth, a cloudless sky and bright moon shone over the city of Naples —all nature was calm, brilliant, and beautiful—but men's hearts were ill at ease ; people gathered to gether in the cafes with anxious faces; scarce an open space but contained a mounted and dismounted_ piquet of cavalry —scarce a street without an ii fantry patrol. For several previous nights there was reason to believe a constitution would be pro claimed, and a new ministry announced to the peo ple, but it came not ; and the sun of the 25th went down, and the moon rose, and the early morning of the 26th arrived, and the people once more went home to their feverish coaches. THE .BRITISH ARMY IN CHINA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) CHUSAN, APRIL 23. You will have learnt, I suspect, long before this letter reaches you, that on the 30th of March th© Adventure, the Scout, with the Tasmania and the Walmer Castle, and the Simoom, with the Octavia and Mars in tow, left Hong Kong. f(intang is the rendezvous of our transports and ships of war. The island lies between the west end of Chusan and the Ningpo river, and possesses only one good and small harbour—viz., that of Ta-outse, which affords an chorage in from seven to ten fathoms. Ido not know what the weather has been on land during the last few weeks, but I have a lively remembrance of the weather at sea. Half gales and gales of wind have followed one another in rapid succession. The voyage from Victoria to the " Silver Island" is sufficiently monotonous. The coast line is rocky and barren, dull and dreary. The little Botelto bago, Formoza, Video, and Fisherman's Group rise up like an oasis in the desert waste of waters. As we crawled along northwards the weather grew colder, and the thermometer fell as low as 68,1 degrees. I never saw before so many land birds at sea. The little chimney swallow flew for days about our ports and rigging, and was easily cap tured by the hand of the amateur naturalist, who strove in vain to keep his feathered visitor alive. Our only other feathered companion was the gar rulous sparrow, who, believing discretion to be the better part of valour, sat on the muinyard, but we could hear occasionally the shrill cry of the snipe, blown away by boisterous gales from his home among the reeds of marsh and river. - I have explored the town of Tinghae. It is sur rounded by a large wall, which you enter by four massive gates, hardly less venerable-looking than those at Virinchester. The streets arc about two yards in with h, and there is an air of poverty about the shops. Tailors abound, and the drapers seem to be in the most flourishing circumstances. I sat for a few minutes in a barber's shop, where two haircutters were operating on two heads. Around the walls of the room hung illustrations from the Illustrated London News and Pictorial Times. A gentleman pays 100, a shopkeeper 30, and a poor man 10 cash for being shaved. The joss-houses are the most interesting sights by far. They are all dark, and many of the horrible gods manufac tured of wood, either painted or gilded, are 30 feet or more in height. The majority are armed with swords or snakes, and look daggers, while others touch the guitar. In the inner court of ono temple we found some alms-houses full of reli gious widows, or widows who, not choosing to marry again, have thrown themselves upon their church for support. They have had one day's notice to quit from the Engineer Department. The channel which passes through the town is now covered daily with boats, containing the families frightened away by our approach, with all their household goods and gods. On all the gates of the town are pasted mandarin proclamations. John China man translates them, " Chinaman no kick up a bob bery, Englishman no fightey Chinaman." I called on a Chinese mandarin with some friends a few days ago. Our courier led the way. The draw ing-room was poorly furnished. The well-polished ckairs looked antique, and the walls were adorned as usual with inscriptions. Are were soon sur rounded by a retinue of servants and the mandarin appeared in the midst laughing and smiling. He then took us across a court-yard to another part of the house, and, opening two large doors, we saw a small garden with a little grotto of rockwork, In the centre of which was a small stone ehair and table. Before it was a tank full of Ash, and at the the side was a gallery of pencil sketches, very valuable, no doubt, in the eyes of the possessor. Now we sat down, and some cups of tea were brought in, upon which, oceording to instructions, we stood up and chinchinned the mandarin, sitting down again when he resumed his seat. We asked for some flowers, beautiful, though scentless, and they were plucked from a tree heavy with blossom. Some were pink and pale, about the size of mag nolias, others were deep and bright as pomegranate blossoms. The Chinese are as jealous as all Oriental nations about the privacy of the female members of their household. Stray glances, how ever, have given me glimpses ofsome of the fairest and prettiest faces I ever saw in my life. At one of the gates of the city stands a roulette table, hourly thronged chubby by children gam bling for lollypops. Not far off a man is preparing opium, and in yonder dark room three men with ghastly faces, stretched at full length on couches covered with grass mats, are smoking it, The market is full of live stock. Here are eels, and there are water snakes looking green and loathsome in my eyes, but very inviting in those of John Chinaman. The wooden candlesticks in shop win dows aro curious. They are simply socket]ess sticks in wooden platters, and when I buy one the shopkeeper hammers a nail into the top, on which I am to drive my cane-wicked candles-16 for a shilling. The picture-frames of carved wood are both pretty and curious. The price which I am asked is 3 dols. a fra me , an d I know that a ft er a ners have b little bargaining I cou ld ge t th re e frames for 2 doll.

The islanders have no means of defending themselves, they are naturally poor and peaceable, and as trade is inconsiderable, they only consult their own in terests in ke e pi ng the peace. On the morning of the 23d of April we dropped anchor in a fog of peasoup thickness, among the islands about Kintang. Fog-horn, bell, bugle, and the sharp report of a nine-pounder rang out an in tervals, making melancholy music in the ears of those who were within pistol-shot. Our guns met at last with a response, and we knew from the salute of four guns and sound of the bell that there was a war steamship somewhere at hand. As the fog cleared off a little we saw the Walmer Castle standing outside the channel, and within half a mile of us lay at anchor the unsightly barque Cressy, of London, containing part of the 67th Regment, and that fine, black, wicked-looking screw corvette the Pearl now flew past,—ono of those dare-devil Peninsular and Oriental mail steamers, en route, I suppose, for Shanghai. One would have thought that she was ploughing on the sunniest day the waters of the safest channel in the world. Nothing is more striking than the contrast be tween the inhabitants of the south and north of this vast empire. There can be no doubt but that a hot climate deteriorates gradually the powers of man,_ both physical and mental. The China rebel is weak and puny compared with the Tartar. Even the inhabitants of this coast and island world cannot be compared with the denizens of Victoria. They are strong and sturdy, with a full muscular develop ment. The majority are tall, and in manner won derfully vivacious. Hardship, outdoor exercise, and simple fare have developed their figure. Opium has not shattered their constitution, nor lent them that intensely apathetic, stupid expression of countenance common to the votaries of the drug. With less ingenuity in the arts of peace, they are not less energetic nor fortunate in the art of war. Thousands combine the trade of fisher and pirate. The smaller junk is the servant of the larger, and the wreck of the merchantman is the prey of both. Possession is the whole, and not nine-tenths, of the law of China. The fisherman seldom makes use of the net, but sets deep sea lines (similar to those employed in the Newfoundland and Mediterranean fisheries), which are attached to buoys, plainly marked by a rude flag and flagstaff. Every fishing juric is furnished with two boats, and the fish captured is transferred to one or other of the numerous compartments or tanks into which its deck is divided. Monster cod fish and conger eels, which are by no means coarse to my mind, but capital eating, abound. A few days ago we longed for a few fresh fish, and despatched a foraging party in quest of some. At the sight of the western barbarians, looking very ferocious in their long beards, moustaches, and whiskers, John Chinaman beat a precipitate retreat, lashing the water in the national way, alternately with bow and stroke oar. It was a glorious race, and caused great laughter, our Jack Tars, though compelled to give up the chase, enjoying the fun immensely. At noon on the 24th we all weighed anchor, for the fog, dense as a London November one, drifted away before the rising breeze, while from out the gray clouds peeped the sky blue as turquoise. As it grew dark we again anchored in the Tacshan channel' and a storm came up from the north. Rain fell heavily, thunder roared afar, and the vivid sheet lightning gave us momentarily a splendid view of sea and sky, ship and mountain. Owing partly to the uncertain orders given by the Pearl, and an adverse tide running from four and-a-half to five knots, we did not get under way much before dusk on the 24th, when we were towed 'until 10 30 p.m. The Pearl fired on approaehing Ta-outse harbour the usual salute of 11 guns, which was returned with a salute of seven by the oo.gun frigate Imperieuse. We steamed past the harbour at four p.m. Catching, a glimpse of the ships at anchor, there were the Adventure, the Roe buck, the Scout, 21 guns, the Tasmania , the Octavi a , and an Oriental and Peninsular steamer, with gunb oa t s F renc h a nd English. Two gun boats led the way, and we anchored at dusk in Bell Channel, passing the Pciho, bound for Ta-outse harbour with French marines. The island of Kingtag never looked more beautiful: All the lower ranges of its irregular hills, look ing like a succession of gigantic mole hills, and covered with t e a plantations, shone out so green that one's eyes rejoiced in tie bright ness o f the colour. The small villages with their many neatly thatched mud cottages and few houses of staring red brick, half hidden in the grey wreaths of smoke curling along the valley, the fresh and fragrant breeze blowing off the land, the blithe music of the song birds, and el - en the monotonous, yet loud and PROGRESS OF THE GREAT EASTERN.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1860. Mansfield, and the insubordination of the local troops, who, he thought, had experienced hard measure. They had been imbued with the conviction that justice was on their side. The alleged foundation for this legislative measure was the bad conduct of these troops ; but the papers hitherto fur nished did not bear out the plea. The house had been led to believe that the whole of the local forte had disappeared, and that, if continued, it must be re-created, but the re rnaMing local troops numbered 17,000, and, in his opinion, so large a European army as 80,000 men was not required in India—that 50,000 or 60,000 would be sufficient. A most important point was the constitutional question—the Horse Guards question. He had no doubt that the prospect of a largo amount of the military patronage had something to do with the change that had come over tho Government. In conclusion, he observed that, if the measure itself were unexceptionable, the manner in which it had been intro duced would justify the house in rejecting it. He moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. N. MILNES, in seconding the motion, condemned the lust for centralisation which the measure of the Go vernment displayed, and expressed an opinion that the mere correct course would have been the appointment of a select committee before proceeding to legislate upon the subject. Col. DUNNE said that so far as . the purpose of the bill was to repeal the act which allowed the formation of a local European force in India, he had no objection to it ; but what he complained of was that the house had not been informed of the amount of Royal forces to be employed in India, nor by what means the two armies were to be united. The reasons for introducing the bill were foreign to the ob ject in view, and so unfair to the existing local force, which had conducted itself in a most heroic manner, that the house ought to pause before they give it their consent. Mr. AYRTON said now the papers were before the house, which put the subject in the most clear, concise, and full light, he could understand why Sir C. Wood had ehanged his opinion. It had never been understood that ho was formally to consult his Council; he had obtained from them all the information he desired, but he had acted, as it was intended he should act, upon his own responsi bility. The mode in which this measure was introduced had been objected to; there should be a perfect scheme, it was said ; but it was unnecessary for the house to have all the details before it. Many objections to the proposed change were founded upon more suppositions of some wrong going to be perpetrated. He justified the change; the conduct of the local troops, he contended, had been mutinous, and evidence of their indiscipline was upon re cord. The change would operate no injury to the officers; and as to the objection that officers could not be induced to remain in India, he insisted that they would remain or re- turn according to the inducements held out to them. He believed that if the present system of a local service and a general service were to go on for some years, the result would be most injurious to the condition of the local offi cers, and that the proposed change would conduce to their general interests. The bugbear of the Horse Guards had been conjured up; but he did not believe in the power of the Horse Guards to do all the mischief that was supposed. It was very much at the command of the Secretary of State for War, and in India, so far from its power being enhanced, it would rather be diminished. He believed that the main tenance of a local force would raise up local prejudices and local views, which would become paramount to other con siderations. Mr. H. D. SEYMCUR admitted that a local European force was an anomaly; but so also was our empire in India. Who could tell, therefore, what might be the con sequences if these two anomalies were separated. He de precated the conduct of Sir C. Wood in setting the advice of the Indian Council at nought, and condemned him in strong terms for laying the papers upon the table in a garbled and incomplete shape. His objection to the pro posed scheme was that it would have the effect of transfer ring the government of India from Calcutta to the Horse Guards, and was opposed to the maxim upon which we had always hitherto acted of governing India in that country itself. Mr. GREGSON commented upon the difference of opi nion which appeared to exist on the proposal to amalga mate the Queen's and the local army—gentlemen connected with the former service taking a directly opposite view to that entertained by those who were associated with the lat ter. Asking himself, then, the question "who shall decide when doctors disagree ?" ho should give his support to the measure propounded by the Government, thus constituting the two armies one happy family, and putting an end to the jealousies which had hitherto unfortunately prevailed be tween them. Sir F. SMIT II vindicated the character of the local army for discipline and gallantry, and denied that any jealousies existed between the two services. If the scheme contem plated were carried out the efficiency of the regiments and the position of the stations were objects that ought to re ceive the first care of the Government. Col. SYKES denounced the Government proposal as re volutionary, and advocated the continuance of the present military system in India, as that under which we had de feated all enemies, and built up our empire in that part of the world. Major PARKER, speaking from an experience of 17 years in the Indian army, said that the local European force had always shown themselves ready to serve in any part of the world, as was proved by the fact that they had served in Java, Mauritius, and elsewhere, as well as in Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercrombie. The number of European troops necessary for maintaining our Indian em pire had been very much e (aggerated. He thought that by a judicious admixture of castes in the native army, and requiring more vigilance on the part of the officers, the number of European troops might be materially dimi nished. Colonel NORTH supported the bill, and observed that whilst he entertained no doubt respecting the gallantry of the local European corps, he could not forget that gallantry and discipline were very different things; and it was quite clear to him that the men who had taken part in the late mutinous proceedings were not to be relied upon. Sir C. WOOD said he would be justified in considering this as a continuation of the former debate. One reason assigned for not agreeing to the second reading by one hon. member was, that papers had been kept back which ought to have been laid before the house. Now, as he had already explained, these papers were not in his custody, but in the hands of a gentleman of the highest honour, and who had acted with the strictest impartiality. What he had before stated on the subject was this—that he was unwilling to depart from the policy of the late Government ; but the events that had since occurred had placed the question in a very different position from that in which it stood last year, and he was sure that the course he now proposed was the course to be pursued. He had hesitated long before ho had come to any decision, but he felt sure that the decision he had arrived at was the only one that could safely be pursued. At present the highest authorities considered that not less than 80,000 men should be retained in India. The measure, ho repeated, did not affect the reorganisation of the Indian army. Having defended himself from the charge of with holding, up to a certain period, private letters received from Lord Clyde and other officials in India, on the ground that they were confidential communications, and stated that he made known their contents when he received per mission by telegraph to do so, the right hon. gentleman referred to another point incidental to the main question but on which considerable stress had been laid, namely, his not having consulted the council, and not having pro duced the protests and the documents of the council. It was quite true that he did not, before the decision of the Cabinet, consult the council collectively, but he communi cated fully, freely, and frankly with them individually upon the matter. The position ef the Secretary of State with a council was a novelty in this country. He wished, there fore, to state clearly to the house what his understanding was of the law which regulated the relations of the Secre tary of State and the council, and to explain why he did not think that the protests, minutes, or memoranda of the council, in the state in which they had been produced, could be received. The Secretary for India could do no executive act, except after communication with the council. He might overrule them, but he must communicate with them. In all other acts which another Secretary of State, say the Secretary for the Colonies, could do by himself, the Secre tary for India must communicate with the council. Should the majority of the council decide on any such question the minority might then record their protests, or should the Secretary of State overrule the whole council, then all or any of them might record dissent. But to entitle them to record a protest or dissent, some question must have been proposed and discussed by the council. The words of the 23d clause of the act were, in his opinion, conclusive on that point. But the question decided, in the p resen t i ns t ance , was a question decided by tie Cabinet, whether they should introduce a bill for the reorganisation ef the Indian army. It was not a question to be decided by the council, or upon which the Secretary of State could act by himself, it was not a question which could be brought before the council for decision, and against the decisions of which the council could protest. The late Government came to a decision upon the subject of the Indian army, an d his noble friend the late Secretary for India did not consult the council, and he was right in not doing so. He (Sir C. Wood) did not consult them in the official sense which would enable them to record a protest, because ho did not think they were entitled to be consulted in such a manner. But on the 16th of May the Cabinet decided upon intro ducing the bill, and on the 17th of May he stated the fact to themtembers ef the council. He said that according to the constitution of the Indian Council no member of it was entitled to register on the council book a protest againsta resolution of the Queen' s Government. B u t h e subse quently offered to place the question before the council in such a manner as would enable the members to record any protest they might think fit. That opportunity they did not avail themselves of, the opinion seemed to be that it was too late, that they ought to have been consulted before. He repeated his offer, pressed it upon their consideration, but IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CILiNCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Lord CHELMSFORD presented petitions against the eighth clause in the Benefit societies Bill, which related to the winding up of friendly societies. . STANDING ORDERS. On tho motion of Lord REDESDALE, the standing order No. 178 was considered and suspended, in order that the Mid Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Deviation Bill, might be proceeded with. THE ITALIAN PAPERS. Lord STRATFORD de REDCLIFFE wished to ask a question of the noble lord the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It was, when the Italian papers which had been moved for in the other house would be laid upon the table ? Questions of the greatest importance were con nected with that correspondence, and it would be a great convenience if it was known when those papers would be produced. Lord WODEHOUSE was understood to say the papers would be laid on the table on Thursday next. THE BIBLE IN INDIA. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY appealed to the noble duke (Marlborough) to postpone the motion which stood on the papor in his name for that evening. He had it from the best authority, from persons connected with and residing in India—that the peculiar position of affairs in India at the present moment—the state of distrust in men's minds—a discussion of that nature would be highly inexpedient at the present time, and, he might say, hazard ous. (Hoar, hear.) If tke noble lord took the step he proposed, the diffusion of Christianity would be imperilled. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH joined in the appeal of the noble earl who had just sat down. If the noble duke valued the peace of India he would not proccpd with his motion that evening. Lord HARRIS said he spoke from some experience, and he could not but think that there was great danger in going into such a discussion at the present moment. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said he felt the great difficulty in which he stood after the appeals that had been made to him, but the subject was one he had not under taken without the greatest consideration. He could as sure— Earl GRANVILLE rose to order. The order of the day had not yet been read, and he thought the noble duke had risen for the purpose of answering the appeals that had been made to him—and in which he most entirely con curred—to postpone proceeding with his resolution that evening. The Earl of DERBY said he did not think any appeal from him would be attended with success after the efforts of the noble lords who had pressed for a postponement of the motion. He was of opinion that the best course for the noble duke to pursue would be to assent to the appeal made to him. (Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM said that on the noble duke proceeding with his motion he r hould move the previous question without discussion The Duke of MARLBOROUGH then proceeded to ad dress the house at great length, and concluded by moving his resolution. Lord BROUGHAM—With the greatest respect for the noble duke, with full admission of the ability which he has shown, and with a deep conviction of the importance of the subject, but with a clear opinion that the discussion is in expedient, and may possibly do harm, I beg to move the previous question. The amendment was put and agreed to. The Councillors of Burghs and Burgesses (Scotland) Bill were read a third time and passed. The Inland Bonding Bill and the Criminal Lunatics Asylum Bill were severally read a second time. The Spirits Act (Ireland) Amendment Bill went through committee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. Thp Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading :—Central Wales Railway, Oswestry and Newtown Railway (Branch Railway, &c.), Caledonian Railway (Branches to Lanark, &c.), Everton, &c. Diain age, Kilrush and Kilkee Railway and Poulnasherry Em bankment, and West of Fife Mineral Railway. THE ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE BY THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition numerously signed, but from the inaudible manner in which the hon. member expressed himself we were unable to ascertain the locality from which it emanated, against the alleged unconstitutional interference of the Upper House in rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty. The honourable member read the petition, which was very voluminous, and set forth that in the opinion of the petitioners the course pursued by the House of Lords was unconstitutional, as measures relating to taxation, by the theory of the constitution, originated with the House of Commons, and any interference with them was an undue usurpation of power by one branch of the Legislature. THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PRECEDENTS. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to some questions, said that he trusted hon. members who had motions on the subject of the rejection of the bill for the repeal of the duty on paper would postpone them until Thursday next, when he would be in a position to make a statement in reference to the matter, the importance of which he could not exagge rate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. E. JAMES said that, as far as he was concerned, he would be most happy to accede to the suggestion of the noble lord. Other hon. members expressed themselves to the same effect. THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. HORSFALL asked the noble lord the member for Huntingdonshire what his intentions were with regard to the second reading of the Sunday Trading Bill, which stood for Friday next. Lord R. MONTAGUE said that under the circum stances, as developed by the expression of feeling in regard to the bill, he did not feel himself justified in pressing the measure, which he would formally withdraw next Friday. NAPLES. Mr. SIIERIDAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in the event of an outbreak of the Lazzaroni at Naples, the English representative had instructions and means at hand sufficient to protect the English residents at Naples ? Lord PALMERSTON said the English representativeat Naples had received the instructions necessary to provide for the security of English residents in the town in ques tion. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. In reply to Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL said that her Majesty's Government had acceded to the proposal made with reference to a con ference to bo hold in relatioi to the annexation of the neu ti alised provinces of Savoy and Switzerland, and he be lieved that Russia had also acceded to the proposal. FINANCE. Ntr. AYRT ON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intended to make his statement of the financial arrangements to complete the provision for the service of the year P The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the course usually adopted was to obtain the votes neces sary for the public service, and then for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make a statement, which he was pre pared to do at the proper time. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL. The adjourned debate on the amendment to the second reading of this bill, to the effect that it be read a second time this day six months, was resumed by Mr. RICH —He considered that this question was one of vast importance, and naturally affected the interests of this country as well as the moral and material prosperity of India. The measure proposed to make a permanent addi tion to the standing army of this country of between 70,000 and 80,000 men in order to meet the requirements for the force necessary to be maintained in India. There were many arguments in favour of continuing a local force in India, and some of them were so powerful that he was sur prised hon. members could for a moment be induced to give their sanction to a measure like the present. He begged also to draw the attention of the house to the fact that the bill was at variance with the opinions of the most competent authorities in regard to the affairs of India. He called on hon. members who might not be practically acquainted with the subject to deliberate before they as sented to a bill like the present, which /he believed was pregnant with the most disastrous elements in regard to English dominion in India. Mr. TORRENS followed on the same side. Sir DE LACY EVANS complained of the manner in which this important question had been brought before the house, without the necessary information. From the por tion of the papers recently produced, the question, he said, wore in many respects quite another aspect, especiallywith `reference to the opinions of Lord Clyde and Sir William , it was not accepted. On Thursday several papers, protests, memoranda, and resolutions of the council were placed in his hands, but in the opinion of his colleagues and himself they were in such form that they could not be received. He was still rea ly to write a letter to the council laying the matter before them in such a shape that they could enter a protest against it. Another point on which he had been attacked was for bringing forward any small measure. That certainly was not an objection which he had expected. It was said there ought to be no act of Parliament on the subject, but he wished to take the opinion of the house on the subject, and for that purpose ho had introduced the bill. They might have done this of themselves, but for the pos sible chance of putting a charge upon the revenues of India. Those were, so far as he recollected, the main points that had been alluded to. If all belonged to the Queen's army there would bo no class that would be looked down u u p p e o n n , a a n n fe equality. t h e T fi r h s e t time h a e p p m e u i la s t t m s e a n y te al vi l , w ei c il u d ld he be fil p le u d t up from the same staff of persons from whom the staff in this country was chosen. The efficiency of the army would be promoted by the change, and there would be a saving of nearly £200,000. Ho was asked whether the officers of the irregular corps were to be appointed in India ? The answer was in the affirmative. He believed there would be a suffi cient supply of officers from the line. It could only be tested by experience, but he entertained no doubt on the subject. (Cries of " Divide.") On introducing the mea sure he had stated very fully his opinion upon the merits of the question. He had not in the slightest degree changed that opinion, and he would only say he hoped there would be no further delay in coming to a decision on the question. Mr. A. MILLS rose amidst loud calls for a division. His object in opposing the measure was not to endanger the Indian. empire. The hon. gentleman had now promised to produce the protests and other papers. He would not further impede the progress of pubLe business. Sir C. WOOD explained he had not promised to produce any papers, but if the council for India gave him the oppor tunity he would do so. Mr. HORSMAN hoped that the motion for the adjourn ment would be withdrawn after the pledge just given by the right hon. gentleman. The SPEAKER explained that, in the absence of the hon. member for Westminster (Sir De Lacy Evans), the motion far the adjournment of the debate could not be withdrawn, but it could be negatived. The motion was then negatived, and the house divided upon the original motion, when there appeared— For the second reading For the amendment Majority for the second reading ..-229 SUPPLY. - - - Mr. MASSEY brought up the report, which was agreed to. COUNTY PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for the committal of this bill was discharged. REFRESHMENT AND WINE LICENCES (IRELAND) BILL. The committee on this bill was postponed till Thursday next. POOR LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. C. P. VILLIERS said the hon. gentleman the mem ber for Manchester proposed to oppose this bill, but if he did so at all he should do so in committee. Some measure must be passed this year, as the act would expire at the end of the year. Mr. HADFIELD said he should like to have a long delay in order that the country might have a full and fair opportunity of expressing its opinion upon the subject, par ticularly as to the powers of the board, which were con sidered by many as too extensive, inconvenient, and incom patible with the difference between the times in which those powers were first conferred and the time in which we now live. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought the Poor-law Board ought to have just time enough allowed it to wind up its affairs. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was a machinery which was at once both inquisitorial and expensive. Mr. E. JAMES said he would move that the bill be read a second time that day six months unless a fair opportunity was given to discuss the matter fully. Colonel GILPIN said there were many useless officials connected with the Poor-law Board whose services might and ought to be dispensed with. The bill was then read a second time. On the motion that the Militia Bill be read a second time, Sir JAMES FERGUSON moved that the debate be ad journed, which, after some conversation, was negatived, and the bill read a second time. The Local Taxation Returns Bill went through com mittee. The Railway Cheap Trains Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Local Government Act Amendment Bill went through committee. The Game Certificates Bill was read a second time. The Admiralty Courts Jurisdiction No. 2 Bill went through committee. Sir G. C. LEWIS obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to the carriage of gunpowder, and the manufacture and sale of fireworks. Mr. S. ESTCOURT obtained a select committee on the Sale of Gas Bills, consisting of Mr. S. Estcourt, Viscount Enfield, Mr. Sheridan, Lord Lovaine, Mr. Mure, Lord John Browne, Mr. T. Miller, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Whalley. Mr. LAING brought up some papers in reference to the expense of the operations in China. The house then adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. AF.FAIRS OF NAPLES. A letter from Naples, of June 25 says :—Sicily, admired by all who have had practical experience of its many natural beauties, climate, and undoubted advantages of position, bids fair to become a peace ful and progressive island. But yesterday groan ing under the burdens of despotism and tyranny, bad government, and outraged laws, to-day, having passed through a fearful crisis of bloodshed unpa ralleled in the 19th century—she finds herself rescued by one noble-hearted man, backed by the strong arms and firm hearts of a people fighting for home and freedom. The bitter hour, it is to be hoped, under God, is passed—a bright unclouded future already dawns for Sicily. May that future never again be overcast. It scarcely requires the hot sun, dust, and mos quitoes to excite a sensitive man, who finds himself on this, the 28th of June, 1860, in the capital over which reigns for the nounce Bombino, unloved, uncared for, despised—so numerous are the reports, so great the fears, so puerile and untrue the asser tions which pass from mouth to mouth throughout each day and night, to begin again at sunrise. Let me endeavour to give you a few facts. Garibaldi for the moment has left Palermo for the interior, and is calmly organising his troops as the civil power, and receiving reinforcements ; 2,500 men recently landed from Genoa under Medici, among whom I believe I may correctly state is Capt. Peard, so well known during the Italian campaign. His forces may now be counted over 20,000 of good fighting men. The Sardinian tricolour floats over Castellamare, and the Neapoli tan fleet have apparently left the waters of Palermo. The two vessels recently stopped, not taken, remain at Gaeta, awaiting dipl oma ti c counc il s which will terminate, if a spark of justice exists on any subject with King or Government, in finding out that moral belief is not international law, and a large indemnity must be paid for their illegal detention. Garibaldi is working zealously and wisely in the civil administration of the island, over which he rules tenderly, and of which he is lord and master— from the centre all round to the sea, save and ex cept the castle of Messina, where, and in the citadel, there are 12,000 royal troops cooped up, victualled almost entirely from Naples. It is true they prowl about at times through the all but deserted city; but there are few if any inhabitants left to bully, and there most probably they will be allowed to remain. Attack them Garibaldi will not; if he does he will thrash them ; but he has far higher views, and cannot afford to waste ammunition or valuable lives wanted elsewhere. He will watch them, to see they do no mischief; and they will fall eventually into a net. Two thousand men at least, and many of the very best officers, have already deserted to him. His first act of justice was to pay to the Bunk of Naples a debt due by the Sicilian Bank. Such au act could never have entered into the head of Born bino or his advisers. He has also made several very desirable civil and military appointments, selecting honest men for what henceforth, it is to be hoped, will be honest work ; abolished the title of excel lency as humbug—fancy his Excellency the Chief of the Neapolitan Police, a literal army of cut throats !—and he has also appointed a mission, or charge d'affaires if you will it, to her Majesty of England, the King of Sardinia, as also to the Em peror of the French. Garibaldi forms a just estimate of the English character, for, while fighting far away for the liberties and homes of an oppressed people, he has left his youngest son at sc h oo l at New Brighton; while the elder, who h as b een wounded, shares the fate of a soldier by his side. His daughter is under the care of kind friends at Genoa. Let we turn from these acts of valour and honest purpose to scenes enacting more immediately around me—scenes which God grant will soon come to a bright termination; for, on Garibaldi putting foot ~~
