From Para guay there was no additional news of importance , but the last accounts of the successful progress o, the operations of the Allies arc confirmed.

Various movements are on foot in connection with railway enterprise, particularly the projecte 1 line from Port • Augusta to the north, under English capital, and the general preference of railway; as against maca damized roads throughout the colony. The ques tion of maintaining Imperial trovs in the colonies was engaging attention in Adelaide, the home authorities having intimated an intention to with draw from the expanse of them at an early period.

MONDAY. The great event has just happened in the Corpa Ltis !atif. Much excitement was visible amongst the deputies as they assembled to-day—indeed, they have never met this session without excitement ; .but the effervescence to•day was exceptional. The news that a communication from the Throne would be made had leaked out in some way, and accordingly everybody seemed subject to that feverish excitement which accom panies the anticipation of great events. The expectation ivas not disappointed. When the Chamber opened M. Rouhor was in his place, and the President innounced that the Minister of State would communicate a message from the Emperor. M. Rouher at once got up and read the important scheme of reform which has reached you long ere this. The Emperor has promptly lalzen Lis decision. The Mackau letter has been thrown overboard, and the unmistakable expression of the bountry's wish has been responded to. It is yet too early forme to express anyopinion as to the effect which the programme U the Empire has produced. The journals, which have received it just in time to print, reserve their comments. nowhere do I hear or read any expression of dissatis- Whether these changes will be accepted as cient or not remains to be seen ; but everybody agrees at the Emperor has not compromised himself by any angerous delay. He has acted at least with promptitude and grace. action. It is only during the last two days that the damage done ny the riots in the Boulevard Montmartre has been repaired. Fresh kiosks have now been put up, the new ones being of very elegant shape. The Newgate calendar of the week has been heavy, but, owing to the political news, I have not been able to sthe much attention to that interesting department. uffice it to say that we have had six or seven trials of the usual type. The story here is pretty nearly always the same, though French ingenuity and love for the dramatic contrives to modify it a little. But the outline of bur murders is generally that of a small domestic drama, involving three persons —a husband and wife and another personage —one or both the latter falling victims to the Vengeance of the former. The leading case of this kind during the week has been a trial in the Alpes- Marithnes for a crime committed last March. An hotel keeper, of Nice, married in 1866 a woman with whom he had been living during the previous ten years. It was not surprising that the conduct of such a character should be open to reproach, and, accordingly, Madame Pontlevoy was no more remarkable for her virtue after marriage than before it. Her manner of life after some time was divulged to her husband, who set a servant to watch her during his frequent absences from home. Last March he had occasion to visit Paris, and to stay there for some time. Whilst away his spy informed him that Madame Pontlevoy frequently received the visits of a commercial traveller. The hotel-keeper at once bought a revolver and a box of cartridges, and set off for Nice, where he arrived in the middle of the day, waited until the evening, and then surprised the culprits. He fired one barrel at his wife as she was trying to escape, and lodged three bullets in the body of his enemy. The man was killed, but the wife, who had fallen through fright, was not touched. The hotel-keeper has been brought up on a charge of murder and attempted murder. A ques tion of law will require decision touching this case. A husband may, according to the French law, kill either of the parties to an offence against his honour, and Will escape all punishment ; but in this instance it is doubtful whether the premeditation does not render the hotel-keeper lialA to several years' imprisonment. The use of chloroform in dentistry is not, it appears, wholly unattended with danger. At least, it is clear that ladies ought not to undergo this operation whilst alone. A dentist, named Bloch, has just been tried here for the hideous offence of criminally assaulting women who sought his services -unattended, and who submitted to the influence of chloroform in order to avoid pain. The case, which has been going on for some days, is an essentially French, and in its details an untrans latable story. Some of the fellow's victims, who were many, " tlok the joke in a proper light" and continued the intimacy commenced under these exceptional circumstaneel. Others, however, were not so com plaisant, and the man was apprehended. He has been very lightly let off with five years' imprisonment. The French schoolboys and students are partial to a little practice in the art of revolution. Every now and then we hear of school revolts. A serious affair of this kind broke out three days back at the College Louis-le- Grand, in Paris. Complaints relative to the food having been ill-received by one of the inspectors, a number of the elder pupils sheaved their discontent by singing the " Marseillaise." Two of the leaders of the disorder were put in confinement, but on the following day the others demanded their release, and this request not being acceded to, the disturbance was renewed. The rioters smashed the windows and destroyed the desks and seats in some of the class-rooms. Very severe punishments were inflicted for this event. Over 200 pupils forming the higher classes were sent home to their parents. Some of these, unfortu nately, were just on the point of sitting for examination at the Polytechnic, St. Cyr, Naval and Normal Schools. An inquiry has been ordered by the Minister of Public Instruction. M. Bismarck is at work upon the literre humaniores. Re will take advantage of his holiday at Varzin to put the finishing touch to his translation of the 'Third Book of the Eneid. A second ascent of Mont Blanc has been successfully made under favourable circumstances. The travellers were two Zuglialiglen—Alesers. Erdee and Tideman.

April and Oct 1.1 • 1 111 ~ 2 1113 *SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JouRN,,Ls, The Tunes, after r•eterring to the two last changes effected by the Lords in the Irish Church Bill, says that disestablishment is again complete. So much will be allowed by all to be an unmixed gain. Lord Stanhope's successful amendment will be received with divided senti ments. That it was successful, in spite of a vigorous pro test from Lord Granville, and of an elaborate argument from Lord Cairns, is a striking testimony, if testimony were needed, to the power of reason and equity. Even those who will most quarrel with the amendment must acknow ledge that, following those already adopted by the Peers, it was an act of justice, for it gives to Roman Catholics and Presbyterians what had been given by a previous amendment to Protestant clergymen. We are equally satisfied that it is a victory of reason. This is not denied by the members of the Government who opposed it, and when we attempt to analyse the arguments of the Ministers we find them crumbling beneath examination. There is, in fact, no argument heard from Liberal lips save this—that the opinion of many popular constituencies is not sufficiently enlightened ~n the subject. We know very well that argu ments, however sound, are no match for popular prejudice, when once excited ; and that the cry of "Concurrent Endowment" will be sufficient to stifle this last appeal to reason and common sanse ; yet we may assert with the utmost confidence that, as far as the 'influence of the amendment goes, the bill offers a better approximation to religions equality in Ireland than when it came from the Lower House. As the measure now returns to the Commons it demands serious debate. The clauses respecting disesta blishtnent arc intact. The reservation of the Ulster glebes is clearly indefensible in principle and policy, and must be repudiated. Lord Carnarvon's amendment embodies no novelty of principle, and, indeed, follows the Government precedent in dealing with Maynooth. The limit of fourteen years is probably too high, and should be reduced to thirteen or twelve, but it is impossible to contest the change on other grounds. Lord Stanhope's amendment and the postponement of the uses of the sur plus remain, and it is not unlikely that the question will be which shall be accepted. The Standard says that it was hardly to be expected that the Church Plunder Bill would be allowed to pass the third reading without some kind of protest being recorded on the part of that not inconsiderable section of the Conservative peers who object to the principle of the bill in toto, and who do not feel themselves at liberty, or called upon to waive their objections on any grounds of expediency, in consideratiOn of the vote of the House of Commons, or in deference to what is alleged to be the judgment of the country. They take up their stand against the bill on abstract grounds of justice, equity, and constitutional principle, and they absolutely decline to be swayed from their convictions by arguments to which responSible statesmen cannot afford to be inaccessible. The amendment of Lord Stanhope afforded the House a final opportunity of deciding upon the proposal of the Duke of Cleveland. It provides that houses and glebes to the extent of ten acres shall be given alike to the Protestant Episcopal, Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian clergy, and houses of residence and lands to the extent of thirty acres to the Protestant and Roman Catholic prelates. These terms were more advantageous to the Irish Church in that they would have given her clergy glebe lands as well as glebe-houses, and they would have won support in the House of Com mons from quarters hither t o hostile to the doomed Establish ment, while they would have brought the Roman Catholic clergy in closer and more responsible relations to the State a gain which the staunchest 'Protestant would hardly be likely to undervalue. We are not a little thankful that, after such ample deliberation upon three separate occasions, the House has adopted a proposal which so importantly strengthens its position in insisting upon its amendments. The Daqy News - observes that if little people will under take, unbidden, to represent great causes, they must bear the ridicule of inevitable failure. For a fortnight before last Saturday we were promised a grand 14ttional Protestant Demonstration on Blackheath. It was a disputed point among its promoters whether the number likely to as semble was 50,000 or 100,000. Every part of the kingdom was to be represented ; but the heaviest contingents were to come from the North, and for the accommodation of ex pected myriads trains were to run every five minutes. For a real demonstration cf the Protestant feeling of the nation these preparations would not have been excessive. After all that we have heard during the last two years, Protestantism remains not only the greatest moral and religious interest, but the mightiest political power in the nation, and whenever it is imperilled it will be easy to collect the public in numbers which will leave the estimates of Saturday last far behind. Should the Pro testantism 9f the country ever be in danger, the lead of public opinion is not likely to fall to Sir J. Eardley Wilmot and Ma;or•Gcneral Beatty. One reason for failure was that the conveners of the meeting assumed without warrant to represent a cause which isnot rightfully theirs, but that of their opponents. This Irish Church lu 11 is called for and is tieing pressed forward in the interests of Protestantism, which the Establishment prin ciple every year places more and more in danger. The public takes note of the quarter from which proposals to endow the Church of Rome coin'. Invariably they pro• ceed from the d, fenders of the United Church of England and Ireland. It is the d‘ fenders, not the assailants of the Irish Church, above all its episcopal defenders, who are imperilling the Protestantism of the nation ; and the nation knows it. hat is the great fact which is growing upon the public apprehension, and is educating the country in sound Church principles with a rapidity which is really startling. The Post remarks that it can scarcely be expected the successful laying of the French Atlantic Cable will excite the same astonishment as when just eleven years ago an English company first bridged, though only for a few short hours, the Atlantic Ocean. Since then the science of submarine telegraphy has been carried to a degree of great perfection, numberless cables cross narrow straits and broad seas, and, save where oceans intervene, man has with facility and despatch succeeded in extending a slender and unbroken wire from coast to coast. In 1840 Professor Wheatstone drew the plans of a projected sub marine telegraph between Dover and Calais, and seven years later a similar scheme was submitted by Mr. J. Watkins Brett to King Louis Philippe, but without success. When Prince Louis Napoleon became President of the French Republic the suggestion was renewed, and the requi site authorisation being given, the experiment of laying a cable across the Channel was made in August 1850. An E'nglish steamer left the harbour at Dover for the French coast, dropping the wire over the stern as she went. She reached Cape Grisnes in safety, the remaining por tion of the cable on board was landed, run up the side of the cliff, and telegraphic communication successfully established, to the astonishment of everyone, between England and France. Immediately after wards, however, the wire snapped through the want of care, or rather of experience in laying it, and another attempt, though on a scale of greater magnitude, was made in the following year with complete success. On turning to the journals of the time we find it recorded as evidence of the astonishing results of the undertaking that the opening and closing prices of the funds in Paris were known on the London Stock Exchange within busi ness hours, and that guns were fired at Dover by commu nication with Calais. Since then communications have been established between Ireland and England, between France and Algeria, Marseilles, Malta, and Alexandria, Suez and Aden, England and Bombay, and, most stupen dous undertaking of all, between the United Kingdom and the United States. The Telegraph advises the public not to muzzle the clogs, but to give them water. Either strap or cage is a terrible business, and causes the utmost possible suffering to the dogs, while yielding the smallest possible safety to man kind. It is a relic of the old days of thumb-screws, pillories, cats-o'-nine-tails, blisters, cupping, penal statutes, and other 'landmarks of the wisdom of our forefathers. Good, kindly, well-meaning Lord Gros venor has taken this matter in hand, and we ask that he may be supported by the public. In the case of the dogs, the noble reformer prefers water to muzzles. If a dog is to go mad from heat and thirst, do not try to set him right by making him hotter and thirstier. So just now we would endorse Lord Grosvenor's appeal, and should be glad, indeed, if endorsement of ours could help the poor dogs. Of muzzling them we trust there is au end. Muzzles are to dogs what prisons are to men—never to he used except against ill-doers.. If a bull dog of uncertain temper will bite children, he must be shot or muzzled. But muzzling seems to have answered so badly in the case of human beings that we are not tempted to continue it in their ease ; why, then, in that of the dogs? Time was when muzzles might have been wanted; but in this country, and in our own time, they are wanted no more, for either man or dog. Let the Parliament of the United Kingdom get rid of the Irish muzzle, and let us help Lord Grosvenor to free the poor dogs from their muzzles. The principle is the same in either case. The Star, in commenting on a recent case of cruelty to a cab horse, says that Coleridge, in " The Ancient Mariner," tells us that " he prayeth best who loveth best all things both great and small : For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all." It would be well if this true and tender sentiment were more constantly in the minds of the British public than it is. Unhappily. we live in an age when there exists alongside of a fair amount of cant and sentimentalism on some subjects, an equal degree of apathy, hard-heartedness, and cynicism on others. The ignorance of the very lowest clal-sesleaves promi nent in the rough islander a certain savagery and ferocity which he has always possessed, and which can only be mitigated by special culture. Then, again, among the higher classes there reigns a vast deal of selfishness and negligence, a kind of la i ssez faire notion that if the time is out of joint they were not born to set it right. They appear to forget that there are correlative respowibilitie, in all societies, and that "Am I my brother's keeper?" was the question of the first murderer. "It is not my business" is the conventional stereotyped idea • and although we are far from counselling any Cod y. to . be pragmatical or meddlesome, cases daily arise where it is nothing short of criminal to carry on the system of noninterference. But even if the hard exigencies of our cautious intercourse with each other make us sometimes callous and negatively cruel, can we not evince some gentleness and tenderness to the helpless creatures who are the ministers of our needs? Nothing is so demoralising as cruelty, active or passive ; and when we neglect, through carelessness or indolence, to prosecute a cabman who over-flogs, or over-drives, or generally maltreats his horse, we are really guilty of a breach of ,SR,11:1 , 1 LIST.

WINDSOR CASTLE, July 12. The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Prin cess Beatrice, went out this morning. r Elt I /IL 2f . ' E LI A EY' HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool at five o'clock. THE ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was givon to the following bills --- - - The Recorder's Deputies, Poor Relief (Ireland), Beer houses, dc., Park Gate Marriages, Sea Fisheries Act, Piers and Harbours, Oyster and Mnssel Fisheries, and Orders Confirmation Bill. SCHOOL OF MUSKETRY. Lord KENNAIRD moved for a report of the sanitiry state of the school of musketry school at Hythe. lie be lieved the preset.t condition of the place was far from satisfactory, in consequence of a large dit,:h, origiNaly constructed for purposes of defence, being now in a stag nant and objectionable state. Lord NORTHBROOKE said there would be no objec tion to tho production of the paper. THE IRISH CHURCH. On Earl GRANVILLE moving the third reading of the Irish Church Bill, The Earl of CLANCARTY said it was with the greatest regret he felt it his duty to interefere to prevent, if possible, the passing of a bill which would be fraught with the most fatal consequences. The measure had al ready given place to much party strife, but that would be nothing to what might be expected if the bill ever became law. He thought that to ask her Majesty to give her assent to a bill to disestablish the Church in Ire land would be, in fact, asking her to do that which she before God and all the assembled nation were sworn not to do so. He looked upon the bill as a direct and complete innovation of the Coronation Oath, and be fore the bill passed its third reading it was most important that some authentic statement should be given to the country why it was necessary to call upon her Majesty to do that which must be most repugnant. After seine discussion, Lord Olancarty's motion was withdrawn. The house then proceeded to consider th• 3 Earl of De von's amendment, to reverse a previous decision of the house, by which the Irish bishops were qualified for the rest of their lives to retain their seats in the house. On a division, the title of the bishops to retain their seats was cancelled by a vote of 108 to 82. The whole question of concurrent endowment was next raised by a motion of Earl STANHOPE to give resi dences and glebes to Roman Catholic and Presbyterian ministers on the same terms as to tho Episcopalian clergp. Earl GRANVILLE protested emphatically against the amendment. After a few words from the Earl of DENBIGH, who accepted the amendment, the house divided, and adopted the motion - by 121 contents to 111 not-contents. The other changes made in the bill were of no mate rial importance, and with only- a few feeble cries of "Not-content," the bill was allowed to pass the third reading. The house adjourned at a quarter to 12 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THE POLICE FORCE. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said that some of the police engaged in the Houses of Parliament received an extra shilling a day, their duties being of a very respon sible nature. Thero were 37 officers engaged, 15 of which received the extra shilling, but the cost of the police for watching the house of Parliament was far in excess of that allowed by the house for duty, so that the remainder had to 13,) paid out of the ordinary police rate. The amount allowed was £429, but the actual cost was £3,534, leaving £3,000 to be taken from the poor rate. The men when unfit through illness for duty were in exactly the same position as other members of the force. THE ACCIDENT AT CARNAHNON. Mr. BRUCE said the lamentable accident at Carnarvon, cruised by nitro-glycerine, showed that some additional precaution was urgently necessary, and without it could be carried into effecttho carriage of nitro-glycerine ought to to altogether abolished. THE SUEZ CANAL, Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Gourley, said the 6th article of the Convention for ;;►o cunstr►r:tioa of the Suez Canal was still in force; by it equal privileges were givtii to all nations. Tllll.l RIOTS AT PORTADOWN. Mr. C. FOUTESCUC, iu reply to Sir T. niteson, said that Mr. .Noonan had been a sub-inspector of police for two years, and was an °nicer of ability and discretion. It was certainly nit the intention to remove that officer to ally other part of the ccuncy during the time the hiquity at Portadown remain, d op n. THE BI U'S FIZATIONS. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to 11 r. Barcl atti , l it was nut in tended employ as many revising liArristet,3 as last year. Taal occasion NS as purely exceptional. TUE FILENCaI TREATY, Mr. UT WAY, is reply to Mr. Herman, said no com munication had taken place with the French Government relative to the duty of English cotton manufacture. SUPPLY. On the motion for the house going into Committee of Supply, Mr. GOLDNEY called the attention of the house to sums granted for the purchase of the site fur the now public offices, and to the proposed expenditure for a new loam Office, and asked if there would bo any objection to lay a copy of the plan of the land purchased, and the amount of the purchase money, upon the table of the house. Mr. LAYARD said ho should have no objection to pro duce the information required, so far as it was possible. A great part of the information had, however, already been made public. The house resumed about midnight, and the remainder, of the sitting 111.19 occupied for the most part with the second reading of the Parochial (Schools) Scotland Bill. Immediately before the house rose the Irish Church Bill was brought down from the House of Lords, and Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the bill, with the Lords amendments, be printed, and gave notice that the conside ration of the amendments should bo taken on Thursday. The house rose at a quarter past 2 o'clock. Foreign Mail racket List. MAILS DUE. lustralla and New W.*land, via Southamptoc.”.JulY 7 Ditto, via Marseilles_. July l2 duel.
