THE HIGH PRICE OF BUTCHERS' MEAT AND OTHER PROVISIONS. — In consequence of the high price of butchers' meat, flour, and other provisions, a great in crease, it is stated, will take place in the amount of the parochial rates in the ensuing quarter in the various me tropolitan parishes. This is about the time that boards of guardians of unions and parishes receive tenders for con tracts for the supply of provisions for their respective work.. houses, which are taken for three months. The contracts are much higher than they have been for some time, the °Met of which is that the weekly charges are higher than at the previous contract. In the parish of Clerkenwell it is stated that the cost will be about MO wore per week. In large unions it will be still higher. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The Marquis of NORMANDY said ho wished to ask a question with respect to the demand made by Mr. Elliot to the Neapolitan Government with respect to the restora tion of the two ships seized freighted with armed men whose intention was to join the movement going on in Sicily. He should like to know whether Mr. Elliot had interfered at all, and, if so, on what grounds. Earl GRANVILLE said her Majesty's Government had no information on the subject other than that conveyed in the telegram which had appeared in the newspapers. Lord BROUGHAM said ho hoped the report that Austria had forwarded soldiers to assist the tyrant of Naples would also turn out to be fallacious. COUNCILLORS OF BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

EtESTORATION OF PARLIAMENT TO IRELAND. The O'DONOGHUE presented a petition from the in habitants of the borough and town of Youghal, praying for the restoration of a separate Parliament to Ireland. The hon. member read extracts from the petition, which set forth that the threatened famine in Ireland caused less in terest in the minds of the legislative rulers of the country than the condition of the most remote dependency of the Crown ; that £10,060,000 were extracted annually from Ireland, and that country was required to con tribute towards the prosecution of wars in which she had no interest; that £5,000,000 were spent out of the country by absentee landlords, and that the only chance for the recovery of the prosperity of Ireland was in a native Parliament. THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE PAPER DUTY Mr. T. I)UNCOAIBE presented a petition agreed to at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Finsbury. On the motion of the hon. member, the petition was read at the table, and it stated that the House of Lords had acted unconstitutionally in rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty, and calling on the house pot to waste time in searching for precedents, but to adopt immediate steps to compel the House of Lords to withdraw their opposition to that measure.

DEFENCE OF PORTSNIOUTIL critAlIAM asked_the-SP- , '"E'rY of St ate fo r War, whether h. ; - aitiir - d any explanation of the state ment ho made, that no plan for the defence of Portsmouth, except the Duke of Richmond's, existed at the time the . Government land at Portsmouth was old for £B,O OO , see ing, that in the appendix to the report of the Defence Com mission it is stated that a committee which sat on this sub ject in 1804, recommended a plan for the defence of Ports mouth, at an expense of £712,000, which included four bat. terics at Stokes Bay. Mr. S. HERBERT said the fact was that plans had been laid before Government from time to time, but they were not officially adopted, and therefore could not be acted on. CONTRACTS FOR CANNON. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked - the Secretary of State for War what was the extent of the contract alleged to have been entered into by the War Department with the Low Moor Foundry Company for cannon of large calibre, which on trial had been found to burst in several instances ; and whether any questions of dispute existed between the Go vernment. and the Low M oor C ompan y i n regar d to this contract ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that the War Department had entered into a contract with the company alluded to for the supply of a certain quantity of iron for the manufacture of (minion. That iron had been supplied, and there was no ground for complaint a. ainst the company, who had exe cuted the contract in the most satisfactory manner. It was true that five of the c annons h a d b urs t, a nd it was consi dered advisable to suspend the construction of any more for the present. LICENSES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. FINLAY asked the Secretary of State for the Home• Department, if be had any objections to My upon the table of the house, with as little delay as possible, that part of the report of th e comm i ssioners appo i n t e d t o inquire into the operation of the licensing system in Scotland which had been receiv e d b y the Government. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the report to which the hon. member referred to had been laid on the able, and presented to both Houses of Parliament on tho 11th of the present month. FISHERIES IN IRELAND. Mr. CONNOLLY gave notice that, in going into com mitto of supply, he would draw the attention of the house to the interference by the Ordnance with the fisheries in Ireland. IRISH BILLS. In reply to an Ilorr. MEMBER, Mr. CARD WELL said that if the adjourned debate were over early, he proposed to proceed this evening with the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, land) Bill. and the County Prisons (Ire- FOREIGN AFFAIRS —ABSENCE OF MINISTERS Sir R. PEEL complained of the absence of Ministers from their places in the house when questions relating to foreign affairs were to be asked. There was such a question on the paper for that evening, and yet neither the First Lord of the Treasury nor the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs were in their places, notwithstanding that the latter noble lord had stated that ho would this evening give an explanation relative to a despatch from M.Thouve nel. He understood that despatch had been received, and the Ministers were treating the country and the house very disgracefully in absenting themselves on such occasions as the present. (Hear, hear.) t , ir G. C. LEWIS said what ho understood his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affaits to state in the house the other evening was that he would communicate the contents of a despatch which was expected from M. Thouvenel. That despatch he (Sir G. C. Lewis) believed had not arrived in this country, and as there was no notice on the paper relating to the subject, ho did net think his noble friend was bound to attend merely on the supposition that some question respecting the matter might be asked by an hon. member. Sir R. PEEL said that the noble lord had distinctly stated that he was expecting a letter from M. Thouvenel, and that he would communicate its contents to the house, and he (Sir Robert Peel) understood from a newspaper that morning—(Cries of " Order") Lord J. MANNERS said that a notice had been given, and was on the paper that evening relating to foreign affairs. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that no notice on the present subject had been given, and that which was on the paper had reference to another matter. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA.) Lord STANLEY, in resuming the adjourned debate, said he did not oppose the views of the Government in regard to this subject merely as a member of that side of the house, but from a conviction derived from much consideration and some experience. He strongly advocated a local force an d a native army in India, and drew the attention of the house to the anomalous posi tion of that country as compared with other depen dencies of the British crown, which rendered such native forces necessary. Some persons considered that this ques tion involved a struggle between the Secretary for India and the military department, but this,. he contended was a mistake, for the question of organisation was entirely distinct from that of patronage. The noble lord th en proceeded to arg ue that it was impossibl© to do without native troops in India, inasmuch as 60,000 or 80,000 would-be a force quite inadequate in cases of emergency th a t possibly might arise. lie again drew attention to the anomalous position of India, and main• tained that it was necessary to have an admixture of the military and civil elements in the government of the country, and that there could be no dang er t o th e i n t eres t s of this country from the force which he advocated being established.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supply of beasts here to-day was very moderate, and in middling condition. Prime breeds sold steadily at extreme rates; otherwise the beef trade was tolerably firm, at full prices. We were well supplied with sheep.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Hill and a Special Jury.) STONE V. LORD LLANOVER. This was an action to recover damages from the defen dant for having published slanderous and defamatory words of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification. Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Phipson were counsel fur the plaintiff; Mr. E. James, Mr. Bovill, Mr. Huddleston, and Mr. H. James represented the defendant. The case, which was commenced yesterday, was resumed this morning, and is likely to last several days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THLS D..11'.; MARLBOROUGH STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT.—CharIes Collins, a boy, was :charged with embezzling money received on account of his em ployer, Mr. Vanstono, agent for farm produce, 43, Cleve land-street, Fitzroy-square. The prosecutor, it appears, being ill, had employed the lad to deliver milk, &c., to his customers, amongst others to a Mr. Simpson, of Calthorpe.street, and the prisoner had received from that person the sum of 175., but failed to ac count for the same to his employer. The prisoner reserving his defence was, after reading over the depositions, committed for trial. THAMES. Tots ANNUITY SOCIETIES.—This morning, Mr. Selfe received numerous communications from persons respecting the proceedings of the committee and directors of the United Kingdom Benevolent Annuity Fund and the United Kingdom Mutual Annuity Society, which have been designated " a sham and a swindle." All the infor mation conveyed to the magistrate confirms him in the view originally taken by him, that the two societies were got up by several individuals for their own bene fit, and without any intention to benefit the poor annuitants who were elected. Among the magistrate's correspondents are many benevolent persons who have expressed great indignation at the deception practised upon them, and who were led into the belief that the annuity fund was in all respects to be considered as a charitable institution, instead of which its affairs were transferred to a Life Assuiance Society to be worked for the benefit of that society. The Chancery suit between the United Kingdom Annuity Fund and the Anglo-Austra lian Life Assurance Society is not expected to terminate for some time, and there is no prospect of any funds being forthcoming from that source to pay the poor and aged an nuitants, who arc in a state of great distress. It is understood that proceedings will be commenced against the committee of the United Kingdom Mutual An nuity Society, which has been registered under the Friendly Societies Act. Mr. Selfe recommended the friends of the annuitants who had not already sent in their claims to do so without delay, and forward their statements to Messrs. Tucker, Greville, and Tucker, the solicitors, in Swithen's-lane, Loml'ard street, who are instructed for till plaintiff in the proceed ings in Chancery against the Anglo-Australian Company. The printed form of prayer used at the ordinary, general, and special meetings of the United Kingdom Benevolent Annuity Fund or Society was exhibited in Court this day. It is a very long one, and Mr. Stoddart, a solicitor, who has been consulted by some of the annuitants, said it ought to commence thus—" Let us Prey." TESTIMONIAL TO 3IP. BEATTIR OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL WAY. On Tuesday an event of some interest to the railway world was celebrated at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, when upwards of 70 gentlemen (the large majority of whom are connected with engineering pursuits) assembled to do honour to Mr. Joseph Hamilton Beattie, the locomotive superin tendent of the South Western Railway. Mr. JOSEPH LoCKE, M.P., occupied the chair, and after having proposed, in terms which were fully responded to by all present, the usual com plimentary toasts, he addressed himself to the itn mediate purpose of the evening, observing that that purpose was described on an ornamental scroll which tad just been handed to him. The descrip- Lion was as follows : " TO JOSEPH HAMILTON BEATTIE, ESQ. " Sir,—l have been deputed by the gentlemen whose names arc subscribed to request your accept ance of the accompanying testimonial of a silver dinner service, of elegant design and workman ship, and a purse of 500 guineas, as a record of their sincere estimation of your inventive and self reliant mechanical skill, generous friendship, and honourable conduct during your successful career, and I trust you will ever have occasion to regard us as your attached friends.—l am, sir, on behalf of the committee, yours faithfully, "ROBERT F. FAIRLIE, Chairman." Then followed the list of subscribers to the testi monial. Mr. LOCKE, in presenting the. testimonial, ex patiated with much earnestness and good feeling on the prosperous career of Mr. Beattie, and ex vb,ined tb' ctreumstances under wnicn tne present tribute originated. The gentleman in question had long been engaged in bringing forward inven tions connected with engineering pursuits, and it appeared that certain great railway companies had availed themselves of those inventions without making any pecuniary acknowledgment of them. Mr. Beattie therefore determined to try the question in a court of law, and a subscription was set on foot to pay his expenses in the event of his being a loser by the proceeding. Mr. Beattie, however, did not lose, but was successful in his law-suit; and the result was that the committee which had been formed to promote the subscription had re solved that the money should be spent in a testimo nial—honourably due to one mho had done so much good in his useful profession. Hence the magnifi cent service of plate, and the purse containing 500 guineas, which he (Mr. Locke) now had the grati fication of presenting to Mr. Beattie, whom he was proud to say he had known for 30 years, and had watched his successful career with great pleasure and satisfaction. The words accompanying the testimonial having been read by Mr. H. J. Cohen, the secretary to the committee, Mr. Bentti© returned thanks in a brief but impressive and grateful speech. A tribute of thanks was then paid to Mr. Robert F. Fairlic, the chairman of the committee, far the untiring energy he had displayed in promoting the pre sent object, and the evening was brought to a close in a manner which must have been gratifying to all who may be placed in a position, as Mr. Beattie has been, to meet and overcome " engineering difficulties." Amongst the company present were Sir John M'Neill, Lord Al fred Paget, Mr. Errington, Mr. Brassey, Sir Charles Fox,' Mr. England, and others well known in the railway world. APPOINTMENT OF RADCLIFFE OBSERVER.—The trustees of the late Dr. John Radcliffe met in London on the 19th inst. for the purpose of electing a successor to the late lamented M. J. Johnson, Esq., for the important office of Radcliffe Observer at Oxford. The choice of the trustees has fallen on the Rev. Robert Main, M.A., first assistant at. the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, where he has been engaged for the last 25 yea's. Amongst the candidates for the office were many of the first astronomers of the day. The new Russian 4,i per cent. loan of £8,000,000, the negotiation of which has been entrusted to Messrs. Bar ing, is expected to be introduced in the course of a week or a fortnight. ICE MADE BY STEAM POWER.—Considerable in terest has been felt in scientific circles by the experiments which have been going on during the week at the works of the Liverpool Ice Company, in Boundary-street, in the production of ice by steam-power. It is not easy to explain the mode in which the ice is produced, but it is neverthe less so simple and apparently inexpensive that the machi nery which produces it must find a locality in hot climates. The patentees adopt the convene of the well-known prin ciple that heat can be converted into power by the employ ment of power to abstract heat, and the process is entirely mechanical. —Liverpool Courier. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION. Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders to-day (Thursday) for ships to proceed to Adelaide, South Aus tralia, and to Sydney, New South Wales ; the former to be ready for the reception of passengers on such day as the commissioners may appoint between the 24th July and the 2d of August; and the latter between the 2d and 9th of August. FATALITY AT THE gDGEHILL STATION OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The Liver pool borough coroner held an inquest on Tuesday last, on the body of a young man, an engine cleaner, at the , Edgehill station, on the London and North Western Rail way, who was killed on Monday afternoon at that station by being run over by carriages propelled by an engine. A number of similar accidents having recently occurred at the same place, the jury made a presentment to the effect that it was dangerous to place engines behind carriages, unless an unusually good look out was kept. THE CHANNEL FLEET AT LEITH.—The weather yesterday being highly favourable for pleasure trips to the fleet, steamers of various build, size, and condition, belong ing to the Tay and the Tyne, as well as to ports on both sides of the Forth, put off at all hours during the day from Leith and Granton, crowded with passengers, and ran neck and-neck races with each other to the great focus of attrac tion, St. Margaret's Hope. A fine easterly breeze, which sprang up in the morning and continued nearly all day, was also turned to good account by numerous fishing-boats and cobbles, which ran up the river with well- filled sails, carrying more select, or at least small parties from Leith, Newhaven, Burn tisland, Kirkcald y , and elsewhere. The throng of v isitors was of a mor e mis cellaneous character than on Saturda y , and not quite so overwhelming; and they were also, generally speak, ing, distributed pretty generally over the different vessels in the fleet. In all the ships they were not only received with that hearty courtesy which is so marked a characteristic of the officers and crews of the British navy when at home in their floating castles, but in most cases the visitors were entertained with music from the ships' bands, and in one vessel (the Mars) dancing was continued for a couple of hours with great spirit on the maindeck by the officers and their lady visitori, and hornpipes were danced with much kkilland tasteby several of the galku.—Scotsman, ROY AL BOYANIC SOCIET.P.s GA ED_F:N69.

The morning of the Commemoration day broke inauspiciously with heavy showers, and, though there was cccasionally through the day a promise of better things, yet on fhc whole the weather must be pronounced to have been nearly as execrable as it could be. A heavy muggy air made every covered place oppressively hot ; and, unless under shelter, there was no security from the pelting pitiless rain -storms, which drenched to the skin in a few minutes, and against which umbrellas were a protection that availed but little. After a hasty bieakfast most strangers bent their steps to the theatre, where the great spectacle of the week was about to be repre sented. Ladies and undergraduates were admitted at ten o'clock, while masters, bachelors, and their friends did not obtain entrance ti'l a quar ter past ten, or a little later. On entering, the semicircle and the ladies' gallery appeared already tolerably welt mica. -- me coup trCeli was Kr/icin g , but less so than usual, owing to the great pre ponderance. of white dresses and bonnets, which were but sparingly relieved by ribands, scarfs, and gloves of mauve, Magenta, or other colours. The undergraduates at first observed a somewhat por tentous silence, and it was feared by some that the notice issued against improper disturbance was about to receive the tacit disapproval of an absolute silence. These fears, however, were not justified by the event. The quiet mood did not continue very long, and, when broken, was succeeded by the usual amount of cheers, groans, and voci ferations. Obnoxious individuals who forgot to remove their hats were assailed with the accustomed objurgations, and the political and other opinions of the undergraduate body were expressed with the freedom common on such occasions. Frequent cheers were given for the Queen, the Prince of Wales, Lord Derby, the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Palmerston, the Proctors (late and present.), the "Dons," the ladies, &c. Three groans followed the names of the-Pope, the King of Naples, the Emperor, Lord John Russell, and the Radicals. " The pre sent Ministry" raised a long and close struggle between groans and cheers, as did " The Bishop of London" and "the Times newspaper." Mr. Gladstone's name, frequently given, was al aray3 quarrelled over, and seemed distasteful to the gene rality. Cheers were given for Bryan King, the Bishop of Exeter,-the Bishop of St. Andrew's, the Public Orator, Charles Kingsley, "Tom Brown's School-days," &c. " Cambridge University" was also heartily cheered, as were "Public Schools," while " Private Schools" fell flat and were cheered by scarcely half a dozen voices. " The Penny Prep" elicited groans mixed with laugh ter ; while a storm of disapprobation greeted Ihe Record, which appeared to have scarcely a friend in the building. A' few cries, supposed to be facetious, were given—as "The ladies in pink," " The ladies in blue," " The ladies under 21," "The young ladies," " The old ladies," " The ladies with bouquets ;" and again one, which was peculiarly effective, " 'Three cheers for everybody, except John Bright !" At nearly 11 o'clock the great doors were thrown open, and the procession entered the theatre. The Prince of Wales, by virtue of his rank, took precedence, being followed by the Vice-Chan cellor, after whom came the Heads of Houses and other doctors of the different faculties, the pro• cession being closed by the Proctors. Among the doctors were the Bishops of Lincoln and Oxford, while a seat near the former was given to an American bishop, Dr. Potter, the Bishop of New York. The Vice-Chancellor opened the proceedings in the usual way, and was only slightly inter rupted by occasional cries from a few of the Under graduates, which were met by cries from others of the body, of " Order 1" and " Turn hi m out!' The honorary degree of D.C.L. was hisconferred upon Excellency Count Platen (theSwedish;e/kc i e nb iv a ed adi wi or t ) ; upon Lord Brougham, M'Clin- o great applause, which he awclehnoowwk, leaidsgeudobn Sir R. repeated ' bows; upon Count S trzelec Sir F, undergra duates.

Great cheering also followed the conferring of an honorary M.A. degree on the Rev. J. H. Harris, chaplain at Lucknow during the late siege. Three hearty cheers were at this point • given for the Prince of Wales, who graciously acknowledged them; after which th e Crewian Oration was recited t y Mr. Arnold, the P • rofessor of Poetry. The prizes were then rehearsed in the fol lowing order ;—the English Essay, by Mr. Holland, of ,E t xe er ; the Latin Essay by Mr. Broughton, of Balliol ; the Newdegate, by Mr. Symonds, of Balliol ; and the Garsford (verse) prize, by M r. Ch ute, o f B a lli o l. All were heard with attention, and the Newdegate received no small amount of applause. The proceedings ter minated a little before 1 o'clock, having passed off without any disturbance or unpleasantness—a change from recent years, which it is to be hoped Will be permanent.. . The distinguished visitors were entertained in different college halls soon afterwards, and were then enabled to attend the Masonic Musical Fete in St. John's-gardens, where an excellent band (the. of the Second Oxfordshire Rifle Corps) was attendance, and the Orpheus Glee Union also per formed a number of celebrated pieces. The lve e ra,"; s , e however, entirely ruined this portion of the an, . 1d with entertainment, the day closing , as it b g long and heavy showers, I
