On the 6th of August, five hundred mem bers and more could be summoned together, the majority to vote that they would not revisit their constituents, and the minority to show that they were a formidable body, and also, it may well be, to inflict retribution, if they could, upon the arch offender, Mr. GLADSTONE. But Lord PALMERSTON saw fit this time to stake his reputation on a vic tory. The usual hints were circulated. Of course the indecorum of open threats was not resorted to, but there are intimations which can easily be given, which arouse no resentment, but appeal irresistibly to fears, and of these it is notorious that they cir culated freely. We do not blame Lord PALMER STON. He cannot dispense with Mr. GLADSTONE. Mr. HORSMAN is enough, it would not do to compel Mr. GLADSTONE to sit by his side. Then, Lord PALMERSTON has plenty of the fairness, the give and take of the Englishman, in his composition, and he felt that he owed Mr. GLADSTONE some compen sation for encouraging the Lords to checkmate him on the paper duty repeal; and also for demanding £2,000,000 this year, and no one knows how much hereafter, for fortifications. Lord PALMERSTON was all right, therefore, as a politician in not driving Mr, GLADSTONE into "Independent Membership," and as a gentleman in resolving to deal fairly with a colleague. But if his lordship has such power iu his hands, what can we say of his not using it on other occa sions ? Ir the present case there is not the least doubt that the unbiassed votes of the House would have been two to one against the Government reso lutions. The matter was confessedly a small one; uo . class of the community could have suffered by taking a year for further investigation—unless, in deed, Mr. GLADSTONE were right, and that the trade which asked the delay would have been sufferers, that .however was surely their business ; no consideration of revenue was at stake ; there was no danger of a quarrel with France, when France, Mr. GLADSTONE said, was willing to leave the matter as it stands for the present. Even if Mr. GLADSTONE'S construction of the treaty were right, for the reason just mentioned, acting on it - was not a matter of urgency for this year ; the thing itself was a mere bagatelle in the com merce and revenue of the country ; and, under these circumstances, all the most respectable firms be longing to the trade in the country unite to ask, through Mr. PULLER, a year's grace for considera tion and further inquiry. It really seems as if Lord PALMERSTON selected a question to test the obedience of his supporters, which should have the merit of being purely a test—almost the trial of our species in the days of its innocency. We do not make the allusion irreverently, but he appears to haye given the house license to do what they pleased with all other Government proposals, but The resolutions to repeal the Customs extra penny on paper they might not touch, or—they must go to their constituents. The further parallel is very t empting, but one side of it is too sacred to be dese crated in honour of our Prime Minister. " 0 ! si sic omnirs"—Had but all been done thus! Can this be the same Lord PALMER STON who meekly sold the right of modifyin g our bud get to the Lords P The same Reform ing Lord who did not put down the factious delaying of thoeiteoruramTll by the means he use d ::o efficiently nmn ay • —or even the same Lord who allowed the Bankruptcy Bill to be dropped, in -•tlbmi,.i.sion to Mr. HENLEY'S det ermination phearamernaeonodtufirsna t acc o ltomau fi mr g uieec h ssh t : the battle of gentlemen who, hav so choose to live in de b t. S urely the g m landed incomes, and annuitaritaz • title to a year's graea a s the p rers trembling for their trade its elf. Yet the Commons, great privilege, the Reform Bill, the Bankruptcy Bill, all were given up, and very merrily, too, b y Our merry Premier. At last, however, one of his own pets comes—the Indian Forces Bill—and the ever lasting Mr. HoRsMAN is told he may go on till Christmas if he likes, but Lord PALMERSTON means to carry it, and forthwith the exacerbated tongue of the member for Stroud cools and is quiet. Next, because he will show who is master when his opponents want to force from his side a colleague with whom he has little sym pathy, he simply says—" You shall not, I will send you to the country first." And the House of Commens, by a majority, considerable for a party struggle of this session, refuses to pluck the for bidden fruit. The debate itself was carried on with consider able spirit. The principal speakers all made some good points, bnt most certainly the arguments on each side were so well put that nothing but some extraneous motive could have induced the house to reverse its usual policy by refusing to give fair time to the large and important trade which feared a grievance. The main argument, it seems to us, stands quite unshaken—the prohibition of the export of French rags, or heavy duties on them, is a bounty to the French manufacturer, and a tax on ours, after all that Mr. GLADSTONE'S ingenuity could urge to the contrary. If, as he endeavoured to make out, ours is a cheap rag market, why don't Frenchmen come here, while, it seems, they only ask our woollen rags for manure ? Why also are Frenchmen so determined to retain the prohibition ; that it is pretended even their absolute EMPEROR cannot repeal it ? Plainly Mr. GLADSTONE is under some illusion on this point, and is afraid to allow time and facts to dispel it. As to the treaty, what can we do when two such men as Sir HUGH CAIRNS and Sir R. BETHELL, the certain future Lord Chancellors of the kingdom, differ so ably ? What can humbler reasoners add ? The fact, how ever, that the EMPEROR does not press the treaty on this point, is both creditable to his sense of decency, and also cuts that ground from under Mr. GLADSTONE'S feet. The latter, indeed, has cut the ground from under his own feet by maintaining a differential duty on English hops, which iu regard to the treaty are placed in the same position as paper. But paper was Mr. GLADSTONE'S hobby. Hops were not. For ourselves we have every reason to be satis fied. We must be gainers, if there be anything to gain ; but we have been honestly desirous to advo cate what we believe to be simple justice, and also thoroughly consistent with Free-trade principles. Nor can we think it any advantage to those prin ciples to strain them as Mr. GLADSTONE has just done. We do not doubt that things will, at much sacrifice, however, soon readjust themselves. Raw material will rise in France. English capital, in deed, will go abroad and raise its price, and the level will betfound. And if there really was any danger to the Ministry, we must confess we should be sorry to see Lord PALMERSTON and Lord J. RUSSELL dis placed till Italian liberties are fully consolidated. Their policy south of the Alps has always com manded our most cordial support. Lord PAL3IER ITON was wise in adverting to it on Ilonday at a meeting called to talk of customs duties. The Liberals present sacrificed the latter for the sake of the ferraer. It is an old saying enough that one half of the world little knows how the other half lives. It is a saying, too, that is most frequently applied to the mutual ignorance of each other's existence ob servable in St. Giles's and St. James's, in Belgravia and Alsatia, in the " gilded saloons" of the Court end of the town and the swarming dens of the back slums and rookeries of Whitechapel. All this is painfully true, of course, but it is only half the truth. The darkest holes and corners of Tom . all-alone's have had light thrown into them of late years from various directions—by the genius of a great writer of fiction like CHARLES DICKENS, by the bull's-eye of the policeman's lantern, by the official investigations instituted by our sani tary commissioners and by the ex-official researches conducted, from time to time, with affecting ear nestness by such true-hearted, and large-hearted, and pure-hearted philanthropists as the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. Yet, after all, as we have said, this is only half the truth. We have thus obtained, in abundance, an accumulation of appalling evidence as to the fact that Lord .... 11 t1AcauLaY spoke not (or rather wrote not) at random when referring to a nameless throng of miserable fellow-mortals and brother citizens of us all who are to be accurately described only as " heathens in the midst of Chris tianity, and savages in the midst of civilization ! " Who has forgotten Jo in DICKENS'S Bleak House? Who has yet lost a recollection of BECK, that other crossing -sweeper previously described by Sir BULWER LYTTON in his terrible romance of Lucretia ? Has any reader of DISRAELI'S AFyba either quite dropped a remembrance of those two deplorable " cadgers stretched after nightfall on the grass of one of the west end parks, com paring notes there as to the delicacy of the flavour of cat's-meat ? Our principal novelists have especially directed their energies towards the more and more vivid enforcement of the truths thrust upon our recognition by these terrible social revelations. Still, while all this good work has been in progress among the more generous labourers in politics, in science, and especially in literature—we have only been getting (we must repeat) thus at half the *truth. We have been " realising" the Evil—by way of securing a powerful incentive to our benevolence. We have been overlooking the Good—that might neverthe less have acted benignly as an encouragement. Besides which, we have all the while been looking peculiarly and almost exclusively to ourselves. We have been scrutinising almost alone our own condi tion as a people—scarcely ever contrasting it for good or for evil, with the social condition elsewhere observable beyond the boundaries of our dominion. There has been a great deal too much said in the way of derision of anything like a trans-oceanic philanthropy. Yet in itself is there nothing so very ludicrous, after all, in the Christian charity that disdains not to look eren beyond the distant horizon to the squalor and wretchedness, the ignorance and depravity infesting the remote African regions of a Boorioboolagah. Say whether there is, or whether there is not, noble-minded, brave-hearted DAVID LIVING STONE! Upon the evidence adduceable from the words penned by that one daring African traveller let the conclusion arrived at by the impartial in quirer be based. It will then be clearly understood that humanity by necessity has no limit whatever — no limit whether of clime, or creed, or race, or language, for its beneficent operation. When the literal and absolute reality of this simple truth shall have been effectually understood and *appre ciated, then, but not till then, the halcyon dream of the people's poet of Scotland may indeed be realised, and— " Man to man, the warld o'er, Shall brothers lie, for a' that I" It is the plain and obvious epitome of the whole Chrii,tian philosophy—rain-a ivrAXo,uat Iva agar; are ciAXiXovcr—the sympathy required from each for each being of an universal and not of a merely partial or restricted application. For th e f ur th erance o f t h e app l ication o f thi s sympathy it i s part i cu l ar l y not i cea b le, we conce i ve , that, e vtry now and then, we have fresh justifies,- tion for it brought to us from quarters of the earth the most unexpected, in a manner the most strik ingly and surprisingly incidental. The very Afri can traveller to whom we have made reference, our illustrious fellow-countryman—Dr LITIN GSTONE— has he not in this wise shown us (to very general amazement) that, in Central Africa, in the province of Angola—there exists a primitive race, tempe rate, healthful, industrious, in fact in the enjoy ment of almost arcadian happiness ? Again—has there not come to us yet more recently, quite as incidentally, and be it added also quite as reliably, evidence of a no less surprising kind in regard to the happy social condition of the far off people of Greenland—evidence brought to light thus inci dentally and reliably by that very Colonel SHARI NER, to whom we alluded yesterday in the course of our remarks upon the geography of the North Atlantic Telegraph Those who are ignorant as to the state of things in Greenland will do well to ponder awhile over the illustrative facts thus brought to light by Colonel SHAFFNER, and submitted by him as recently as last month to the Councils of the Bl•itish Association. " The in habitants," writes that northern traveller, " are Danes and Esquimaux. The Julianahaab District is the most southern in Greenland, and has about 2,600 Esquimaux. They are all civilised, and mostly members of the Lutheran Church. There are a few Moravians. The children are baptised and at fourteen years old con firmed. They have churches and schools, and they preach, sing, and pray. In the principal churches they have organs and some fine paint ings. " The town of Julianahaab," he adds, " has about 300 inhabitants. The people received my visit last autumn with much joy, and illuminated the town. The Governor received me at the land ing, and told me, Welcome, welcome, to Green land !' He invited Mrs. SHAFFNER to take his arm and escorted her to his residence. The houses were stone and frame, and covered with slate. It is not cold enough for double windows. They had cows and sheep. The Esquimaux lived in stone huts covered with earth, fully as com fortable as many log cabins that I have lived in when in the western forests of America." Then observe what follows :—" -- The Esquimaux are honest and good hearted. They never steal unless on the verge 0 . 1 starvation. The men treat their wires well. The children are never whipped. Peace, l•ve, and domestic happiness, seem to be more common to them than the more civilised races." No •wonder, he says in conclusion, " It will not be difficult to have a telegraph line maintained in Greenland with the aid of such people." Surely we should elo well now, and then to look a little beyond our coastline. England might do worse (in regard to some of the above italicised particu lars) than take a leaf or two out of the social code of Greenland ! L AT .E•S T N E W S. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, AUG. 7. The Moniteur publishes a decree allowing the Lmportation of wool through any customs station in France. . The Moniteur also ann3unced the arrival and enthusiastic reception of the Emperor at the Camp of Chalons. GENEVA, AUG. 7. The Federal Council has received a note from the Swedish Government datel 18th July, reiterating th* intentions of Sweden :o support the claims of Switzerland, at the conference on the affairs of Savoy.

The enthusiasm was general. PALERMO, AUG. 4. The ladies of Palermc are very active in supply ing the hospitals of Mdazzo with lint, linen, and medicine. Large numbers of volinteers continue to arrive. NAPLES, AUG. 5. All efforts to concluie an armistice with Gari baldi having failed, preparations are being made to repulse any attempt at it'asion. Improvements are being actively introduced in the royal army and navy. Commander Capecelaco has been appointed direc tor of the Ministry of Marine. The renewal of the personnel of the different ad ministrative departments is nearly completed. The office of private secretary to the King has been suppressed. The Camarilla has beet' replaced by persons re commended by the ministers. The King has visited the headquarters of, the National Guard. MARSEILLES, AUGUST 6. According to advices from Naples, 300 soldiers who were on the point of joining Garibaldi had been arrested. The Minister of War had withdrawn the troops from the Abruzzi, in order to concentrate the principal part of the army round Naples. Troops have left for Syria. The Finistorro left Toulon yesterday. The Borysthene, with half a battalion of Chasseurs, left Marseilles to-day. The sth Regiment of the line has arrived here. BELGRADE, AUGUST 6.

NEW ZEALAND. Advices from Auckland to the 26th of May report that things remained in stairs quo as regarded th• native outbreak. No fears were, however, felt for life or property in Auckland, or in any place to the north of that city. On the whole less apprehension seemed to be felt, and nothing had occurred to check the tide of emigration which has latterly set in so success fully to New Zealand. The Sydney Herald says : " News from Taranaki has reached Sydney to the 31st of May by the Lord Worsley. At that time the total British force of all arms was about 3,000 men, but the general impression was that they were awaiting reinforcements from England orlndia before any further operations would be undertaken. Wiremu Kilagi had been joined by the Waikato's, about 1,000 strong. A new Maori stockade had been erected at Tapulari I.auri ' and was very strong. A. succession of plateaus had been fortified by palisading and intrenchments surrounded by forest. A party of military and militia on the 2d, in search of fuel, wero approached by a detachment of Maoris, but effected a retreat. The light com pany of the 60th went in search of the enemy, but without success. Mr. Brown, editor of the Y aranaki Herald, going beyond ,the prescribed limits towards the pah, was fired at by three Maoris in ambush, one of whom had been two years in his employment. He was so severely wounded that he was not expected to recover." DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR SCOTLAND. At half-past 8 o'clock last evening her Majesty and Prince Consort, with the Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, Princess Helena, and Princess Louise, left Buckingham Palace for the terminus of the Great Northern Railway at King's cross, to proceed to Edinburgh. In attendance were the Countess of Desart, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Colonel the Hon. Sir C. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. C, Grey, Lieutenant-Col. the Hon. 1). de Ros, and Major Elphinstone, R.E. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were con ducted to their carriage by the Marquis of Ailes bury, Viscount Sydney, Earl Spencer, Viscount Castlerosse, Lord Harris, Lord Alfred Paget, Col. Cavendish, Colonel the Hon. A. Hood, and the Master of the Household. The Royal party occupied five carriages, and were escorted to the terminus by a detachment of Life Guards. The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert and Dr. Baley joined the Royal suite at the station. The Royal train left King's-cross at 9 o'clock, and arrived at York safely at 5 13 a.m. this morn ing, two minutes before the appointed hour. His Serene Highness the Prince Edward of Saxe- Weimar arrived yesterday on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, at the Royal Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. His Excellency the Greek Minister and Madame Tricoupi will shortly leave Bryanston-square for Germany. His Eicellency the Swiss Minister and Madame De la Rive and family have left town on a temporary visit to Switzerland. The Duke de Torcello, who has been in London on a visit to Count and Lady Cecil De la Feld, has returned to Paris , on routs to Italy. Lady Emily Hesketh and Miss Hesketh leave town to-day for Glan-y-Mor, Torquay. - - - - The marriage of the Hon. Loigsa Hanbury, youngest daughter of the late and sister of the present Lord Bateman, with Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Green Wilkinson, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, was celebrated yesterday, at St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge. DEATH OF GENERAL WYNDHAM.—The death of this gallant Veteran took place at Cockermouth-castle on Thursday evening, between eight and nine o'clock. The deceased general was one of the surviving Waterloo veterans. THE SCOTCH CHURCH.—Lord and Lady Palmer ston attended Divine service in the Scotch Church, Crown court, Covent-garden, on Sunday last, when Dr. Cumming preached. THE GRAND DUCHESS OLGA.—Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Olga and suite arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Ostend on the way to Shanklin, Isle of Wight. A special steamer, with the Russian Vice-Con sul on board, was in waiting alongside the Victoria-pier, in which the Grand ruchess and suite embarked, and were conveyed across to Ryde, where the Duchess was received on landing by his Excellency Baron Brunow, the Russian Am bassador at this Court. On landing, the Grand Duchess immediately proceeded to Shanklin. A meeting of the City of London Brewery (Cal vert's) Company was held yesterday afternoon, Sir James Duke, M.P., in the chair, when a dividend was declared for the five months ending in June on the ordinary and preference capital at the proposed rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The profits during that period were announced to be £22,889. The suspension was announced yesterday of Mr. E. M. Abbott, of the Bow Brewery. The reason assigned is that large shipments of beer which he had made to Cal cutta under a contract with tie Indian Government have been refused, on the ground of late arrival. The liabilities are estimated at about £lOO,OOO, and the books have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Quilter and Co. The new Five per Cent. Sardinian Loan for £6,000,000, has been formally announced for home sub scription at the expected price of 80. £2,800.000 of the amount is to be reserved for the various financial establish ments, and the remaining £3,200,000 is to be allotted to the public; 10 per cent. will be payable on the Ist September, and the balance in instalments, chiefly of 20 per cent., every two months. No doubt is entertained that the whole will be readily taken. At the principA German cities the abundance of floating capital consequent upon the extent to which enter prise is checked by political uncertainties causes a great demand for all kinds of marketable securities, and quota tions are rapidly improving. THE FATHER OF CHARLOTTE BRONTE.—The Halifax Courier has the following pa ragraph Age and infirmity have at length so far prevailed, that the Rev. F.

The health of the Empress (says a letter from Eaux-Bonnes) is visibly improving, and though her Majesty was not ill when she came, it is evi dent that exercise and the mountain air have proved quite as serviceable as the hot springs. BOURSE, Aug. 4.—The market continues with out animation, and prices have declined on the last rates of Saturday.

The Courrier de Marseille publishes a Naples letter of which the following passage is an ex tract :—" After the defeat at Melazzo the wounded men and troops of the King's army were imme diately embarked. Several steamers, chartered at Marseilles on the account of the Neapolitan Govern ment, the Bresil, Protis, Stella, and Ville de Lyon, aceompanieal by the Neapolitan frigates Stromboli and Eolo, have arrived from Sicily. The Protis broaght 130 wounded from Melazzo. The Ist regiment of the line was garrisoned at Naples on its arrival. The battalions of chasseurs, commanded by Bosco, are still retained in Sicily. This officer, who does not want courage, but has been greatly overestimated as to his military talents, is now the victim of his own vanity. It was currently reported that he had boasted, at an interview with the king before going to Sicily,that he would bring back Garibaldi's head. Conse quently since his return he cannot show himself in ,the street without being followed by a crowd of persons asking him to show them the ' testa di Giuseppe Garibaldi.'" The Iride of Naples announces the arrest there of upwards of 300 officers, non-commissioned offi cers, and soldiers, chiefly belonging to the chasseurs, for having attempted to desert to Sicily. Some had cried out Viva Garibaldi on seeing a steamer pass. TURIN. The Opinione of Turin publishes the following letter from Count Cavour " Sir—There is nothing surprising in the Ar menia, in the discussion raised by my letter to the Archbishop of Chambery, indulging in recrimina tions and insults ; that was to be expected from a journal which supports extreme opinions, and pro vokes the most ardent passions ; but that, iii order to attack me, it should make base insinuations against a young and distinguished functionary, who is a complete stranger to political conflicts, is an act which will, I am convinced, excite the indignation of honest men of all parties. If the Armonia fancied that it struck a great blow in publishing a fact which I desired to keep secret, it deceives itself strangely. In my politi cal life there is nothing with which I am more pleased than to have been able to choose for private assistants in the accomplishment of the most deli cate and difficult business—first M. Constantius Nigra, and next M. Isaac Artoni, young men of a religion different to ours, but equally remarkable for their singular and precocious talent, their inde fatigable zeal, and their noble character. 'This public testimony, which I take pleasure in giving to M. Isaac Artoni, will be acknowledged by his chiefs, whose entire confidence he possesses, and by his colleagues, who justly appreciate and esteem him. Public opinion will do justice on ignoble attacks from men who regret the time at which dif ference of religion sufficed to keep the best instructed and most capable young men from public functions. —Receive, &c., " C. CAVOUR." " We learn from Turin," says the Union, " that Count Letta, who was sent to Garibaldi by the King of Sardinia, was not very cordially received by the Dictator, and was told by him that he could not now stop in his career, and that he would state the reasons to his Majesty." Tho .2% - aziciie, 01 i,` i6re l,o:: , , th LI Alexandre Dumas landed at Leghorn, he was loudly cheered by the multitude ; upon which he said, " Your applause is for Garibaldi, and not for me." THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. The Earl of MALMESBITRY again called the attention of the house to the affairs of the South-Western Railway. His lordship said he had been informed that the receipts of the company had now reached £1,600 beyond the sum men tioned in their first Act of Parliament, which set forth that, on the receipts amounting to a sum named therein, the directors should lay down a double line of rails from Dorchester to Southampton. He hoped the session would not be allowed to close without the Govern-. meat calling upon the railway directors to carry out (me of the provisions of an act of Parliament. MILITIA BALLOT BILL. On the motion for bringing up the report of amendments on this bill, Earl DE GREY referred at some length to a clause which had been introduced into the bill in the other house, which exempted men above the age of 30 years from the operation of the militia ballot. Between 30 and 35, men generally sought and obtained permanent employ, and masters would be very disinclined to make engage ments from the fact that the men were liable to be called away from their employment by the operations of the militia ballot. The population increased so rapidly that there was no fear of any inconvenience by agreeing to such a provision. After a few remarks from the Earl of DERBY and Earl GRANVILLE, the report with the amendments was re ceived. GAME CERTIFICATES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. RIFLE VOLUNTBER CORPS BILL. Earl DE GREY moved the following resolution : " That as the means of acquiring proper training and efficiency in the use of the rifle will be denied to the members of many volunteer corps, and the raising of new corps discouraged, unless practising grounds can be se cured forthwith, the want of which has been already felt in many places, and for the obtaining of which increased facilities are greatly required, the cir cumstances which require legislation on this subject appear to this hou c to be of such real urgency as to render the immediate consideration of the same necessary. Ihe resolution, after a short discussion, was agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY.) The SPBAXER was in attendance at twelve o'clock, but did not take the chair until 25 minutes past, the house not having been formed before. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Lord Do Freyne's Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming a' clause 5. Mr. SELWYN said that he was happy to say that the differences in reference to the bill were reduced to a very simple point. He defended himself from a charge made against him by the hon. member for Dundalk (Sir G. Bowyer) of having dealt unfairly in regard to his oppo sition to the bill, by stating that the measure was brought on at a time when it could not be fully discussed. He contended that the law had bees strained by this bill in favour of Roman Catholics, and in the first place it was required by those who opposed the bill, that Roman Catholic charities should be placed on the same footing as any other charities. Having referred to the law prohibiting bequests of money for saying masses for deceased persons, or other superstitious purposes, he said by this clause that law was evaded. For instance, he would take the case of a bequest of £50,000 to a specific charity, for which only £lO,OOO would be sufficient, the trustees would be empowered to apply the £40,000 remaining to those superstitious purposes which had been introduced by the existing law. He sug gested for the sake of the charity itself, and with a view to avoid it being subjected to expense, that an application in such a case should be made to the charity commissioners to deal with the remaining fund, as was provided for with respect to Protestant charities. His third objection was, that under the provisions of this bill this measure would be injurious to the public interests as regarded bequests, as England should be free from any foreign influence. Ho maintained that it would bo most dangerous to the public interest if in this matter any foreign jurisdiction or interference would be permitted, and if the clauses were not altered in the points to which he alluded he must op pose the present clause. After a few words from Sir G. C. LEWIS, the clause was negatived without a division, with the understanding that it would be brought up with the report in an amended form. The remaining clauses were agreed to. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, to substitute for clause 1, the following :—No gift or disposition made or to be made for any legal charitable purpose csnnected with the Roman Catholie religion shall be, either as to the whole or any part, unlawful or void by reason of any purpose, re quest, or direction, which may be deemed in law supersti tions or unlawful, being made part of or united with such gift or disposition, but the whole of the property comprised in such gift or disposition shall be applied exclusively for such legal charitable purpose. Sir G. BOWYER moved the following addition—" Pro vided,. that no such last mentioned trust, condition, or re quest shall in any other respect be rendered valid or legal, or invalid or illegal, or be otherwise affected by this Act." He took that opportunity of stating with respect to clause that the object of the bill was not to make any difference between the law as relates to Roman Catholic charities and Protestant charities. By this measure Roman Ca tholics would be obliged to observe the provisions of what was called Lord Hardwicke's Act, in the same way as Pro testants were compelled to do. Roman Catholic charities were subject to disabilities from which Protestant charities were exempt, and as soon as these were removed, as it was proposed to do by the bill, and Roman Catholics placed in the same position with reference to those charities as Pro testants, that was all that would be required. In reply to Mr. ADDEULEY and Mr. MALINS, Sir G. BOWYER said that the result, of this clause would be quite different to what the hon. members opposite apprehended. In the case of a Roman Catholic testator leav ing £lO,OOO for a school or the maintenance of a church, and £20,000 for masses for his soul, the latter would be invalid under this clause. No such case as that to which he al luded occurred, because bequests were not made simply for the saying of masses for the soul of the donor, but were given for the maintenance of a church or a school or some other similar object, and merely a request was made by the testator that prayers for his soul should be said. This clause had the full concurrence of the Roman Catholic body, and if rejected considerable difficul ties would be experienced. Mr. HENLEY contended that, as he read, the clause made legal bequests for superstitious uses. After some further discussion, Sir G. LEWIS said that the bill had been discussed hitherto at late hours, and the house being impatient, it was not received with the best humour. Ha considered that clause 2 of the bill introduced last year, which gave powers to the Charity commissioners and the Court of Chancery to deal with Roman Catholic charities, should be adopted, and he would move its substitution for that of the present resolution. The resolution of the Attorney-General was negatived, and the amendment of Sir G. Lewis was agreed to. The preamble was then agreed to, and the house resumed. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT (1i157) AMEND. MENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On th© Ist clause, Mr. ADDERLEY objected that the scope of the bill was to take the control of those schools out of the educational department and vest it in the Home-office. He objected also that it was proposed to class pauper children who were in those schools with those confined in reformatories. Sir G. LEWIS said that though the bill was introduced at a late period of the year, it contained only one clause, and relating to only one point, and when it was first brought forward he had made an explanation of its object which led to a debate. The bill originated in a proposition from the Privy Council to the Home-office to transfer these schools to the latter. These schools were of a penal charac ter, and similar to the reformatory schools which were under the control of the Home-office, who were only de sirous of consulting what they considered the public benefit. Mr. RIDLEY contended that as those schools were in tended for vagrant children, there was no similarity between them and reformatory schools. Sir S. NORTHCOTE supported the bill, and contended that it was most desirable to transfer the control of these schools from a body who were incompetent to one that was quite efficient to manage them. " Mr. LOWE said that in reality these schools were of a penal nature, and therefore would be more properly trans ferred to a department that had to deal with criminals than be allowed to remain under the control of a department which was purely of an educational character. Mr. MONSELL opposed the bill. He considered that as the children in these schools were convicted of no other offence than vagrancy, they should not be placed in the same position as those who were confined in reformatories. Mr. HENLEY regarded these industrious schools as a branch of the reformatory system, and therefore that they would be more efficiently worked by the Home-office than a merely educational body. Mr. BLACK bore testimony to the benefits of these schools in Edinburgh, and deprecated their being united with institutions of a criminal character, which might have the effect of tainting with crime those who in these schools might be trained up to be good citizns. Lord E. HOWARD thoucht the distinction between 1 1 '.0-::." hill and he hoped the Government would ponder carefully be fore making the proposed change. After souse further discussion the clause was agreed to. The sitting was suspended at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. (LEFT SITTING.) THE TVALTVORTH MURDERS. LAMBETH POLICE COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The second examination of William Godfrey Youngman, the persoi accused of the murder of four persons, at 16, Manor-place, Walworth, the details of which the public are so painfully acquainted with, took place this morning at the Lambeth Police-court, before Mr. Elliot. . The court was crowded to suffocation, not the least pre caution seeming to have been made by the police to keep even the passages in the justice-room clear, and the seats at the table usually appropriated to solicitors (and reporters on special occasions) were filled by persons who had obtained orders of admission merely to gratify a morbid curiosity. The prisoner, who is in custody of Mr. Inspector Whicher, walked into the dock with a firm step, and with out betraying the least concern. The first witness called was John Mathew Youngman, of Ni. 2, Francis-street, Newington Butts. He said the prisoner was his brother. The last time he saw his mother alive was at 16, Manor place, on the Monday previous to the discovery of the murder. John Youngman, the prisoner's father, then gays his evidence, which was merely a recapitulation of the evidence he gave at the coroner's inquest. Prisoner—Did you not make. some observations to mother that made her cry on the evening previous to the murder ? Witness—No, nothing. I did not see your mother that evening. Prisoner—What, not about dripping ? Witness—Well now you bring that to my mind, I recol- lect I did see your mother thatevening, and I did say some thing to her on that subject. The agitated state of my , mind had entirely driven away all recollection of anything. , I recollect seeing her, and she brought me a hat and asked me to try it on. She said, " Tom has been to get some dripping, and the cook has given him a hat." I did try it on, but it was too small for me. More than that, I said Thomas should not go backwards and forwards to get the dripping for any one any more, as there was more trouble than enough. The boy had put the dripping into the hat and spoilt it. Prisoner—Are you sure you had no other words P Witness—lf you can bring anything to my recollection I am here to speak the truth, I will answer them. Prisoner—Did you not have words with her in the after noon. Witness—Yes. I went to my son John's, and had my dinner. They were not angry words. The reason I did so was that it was not ready at home, and I would not wait. While I was at home a person came to put a lock on your bo Prisoner—Did you give mother any money that day? Witness—No. I had none to give her. Prisoner—Did you give her any the day before ? Witness—No, but John gave her 2s. Money ran short with me that Saturday night. It was 2s. I've got Is. 6d. of it now. It was found tied up in her pooket. I don't ss know who tied the pocket up. Prisoner—l've nothing else to ask you. Mrs. Beard next gave her evidence, which has already appeared in The Suff. The prisoner did not put any questions to this witness. Mr. Bevan, the landlord of the house, was next called. He said the only addition he wished to add to the evidence already given was, that the prisoner said in his hearing that his mother had committed the murders, and that he (prisoner) had killed her in self-defence. The prisoner here complained of the non-attendance of his solicitor, Mr. Neale, whom he had seen in prison, and who promised to be in attendance. It was here intimated that a gentleman was in attend ance from Mr. Neale's office. Inspector Dunn here recapitulated his evidence with re spect to finding the policy of assurance, and the letters of the prisoner to the deceased Mary Wells Streeter. He pro duced a plan of the landing with the position of the doors on the second floor of 16, Manor-place. Elia.abeth Wootton, a servant at Mr. Duncan's, said the prisoner lived in that service about three months. He left about a fortnight ago. The letter dated July 13 she be lieved to be in his handwriting. [This letter referred to her fellow servant as the person who was to act as brides maid at the prisoner's wedding with Mary Wells Streeter.] The other letters produced she also believed to be written by the prisoner, as she had seen him write, and he had told her he was writing to Mary Wells Streeter. She had heard him talk about insuring her life. The letters produced at the inquest were then read by the clerk. Mr. Tanner, clerk in the ,Argus Life Assurance office, next gave his evidence. This has also been published. Samuel IVells Streeter, the father of the deceased, was asked if he had anything to add to his former evidence, and he replied that he had not. Mr. Edward Spice, landlord of the Green Dragon public house, Bermondsey-street, said—l am on friendly terms with the Streeters. On 23d July Mary with the prisoner came to see me. They left about eleven o'clock. They came again on the 25th, and I then asked the prisoner what his intentions were with respect to the girl. He said he was independent and would marry het'. I said, "You must have a good lot of money to provide for such a girl as Mary Streeter. Ho said after marriage they intended to live at Hastings. I after wards said to the girl Mary, " Does your father know of this marriage. I don't like the look of the young man at all." I afterwards told him so. I 'said I was afraid he meant her no good. I then asked Mary Streeter to go into the bar parlour and have nothing snore to de with him. I told her I would see her safe home again.. I next saw the pri soner in the parlour. I said to him, "I don't like the look of you, and I would rather see the girl take a rope and hang herself than marry such a fellow as you." The pri soner made no remark, but shortly afterwards left my house. Superintendent Penn, P division of Police, said—l went to Manor •place on the day following the murder. I took possession of a small black box, which was pointed out to me by the prisoner's father, I saw it opened at the station-house by Inspector Dunn, and the policy was lying at the top. lie told me his mother had committed the murders. I asked him about the knife, and he said it was his, and that he had had it in possession but a short time, and that he used it to cut his bread and cheese with. Mr. Boddy, the surgeon whose evidence was next re quired, not having arrived, The depositions were then read over to the witnesses, and they were severally bound over to appear at the Cen tral Criminal Court and give evidence against the prisoner on four indictments, charging him with wilful murder. On the arrival cf the witness, Dr. Boddy, he imme • diately took his place in the witness box and proceeded to repeat the evidence as to the wounds given at the inquest on the bodies of the deceased persons,which was very fully reported in The Sun of last evening. The prisoner listened with great attention, but with per fect calmness to the surgeon's narrative of the various injuries the murdered persons had sustained. The Magistrate then cautioned the prisoner in the usual way. The prisoner said—l am not guiltrof any of the charges against me, excepting killing my mother in self-defence. That is all I have to say. The magistrate then committed him for trial at the next sessions for the Central Criminal Court, but as Inspector Whicher, who has charge of the case, will not be able to get up the evidence in a complete form for the sessions which commence on Monday next, an applica tion will be made for the postponement of the trial until September. The application will, of course, be granted. The prisoner was conveyed to Ilorsemonger-lane Gaol. He was loudly hissed on being placed in the van. THE rw2ORIA CROSS. (From the Gazette of this Evening.) WAR-OFFICE, AUG. 7. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the under-mentioned soldier of her Majesty's army, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her. Majesty's approval, on account of an act of bravery performed by him in India, as recorded against his name, viz. : • Private Samuel Morley, 2d Battalion, Military Train— On the evacuation of Azimgurh by Doer Sing's Army, on the 15th of April, 1858, a Squadron of the Military Train, and half a Troop of Horse Artillery, were sent in pursuit. Upon overtaking them, and coming into action with their rear-guard, a squadron of the 3d Seikh Cavalry (also detached in pursuit), and one troop of the Military Train, were ordered to charge, when Lieutenant Hamil ton, who commanded the Scikhs, was unhorsed, and immediately surrounded by the enemy, who commenced cutting and hacking him whilst on the ground. Private Samuel Morley, seeing the predicament that Lieutenant Hamilton was in, although his (Morley's) horse had been shot from under him, iinmediately and most gallantly rushed up, on foot, to his assistance, and in conjunction with Farrier Murphy, who has already received the Victoria Cross for the same thing, cut down one of the sepoys, akd fought over Lieutenant Hamilton's body, until further assistance came up, and thereby was the means of saving Lieutenant Hamilton from being killed on the spot.

The New York per pa s contain diagrams and lengthy accounts of a very brilliant meteor which appeared on the 20th. The Berald alludes to it as follows :—" At about a quarter before 10 o'clock on Friday evening, the atmosphere being very sultry' and no perceptible motion in the air, a light clove" appeared in the west, from which a blue-tinted 1W milieus globule shot out, which at the first glance , suggested to the spectators the idea of an artificial firework. Instantly it lost its globular form, burst ing, like an immense skyrocket, into four portielo• The first two are represented by one of our corre spondent as resembling brilliantly illuminated ch3ll - with innumerable jets of purple flame; the others were globular, and comparatively s mall, appearing rather as the tails of the first. They main tained their relative distance as they flew athwart the sky from west to east, occupying in their flight something like a minute. Whether they vanished in air or fell on the land or sea we have not yet ne certained. About a minute after their passage a detonation was heard, as from a piece of ordnance; but whether it proceeded from the bursting of the meteor is a matter of conjecture. One very curious optical delusion which it gaie rise to is worthy of remark. To the spectators it appearedtdo b t e no higher than from a quarter to half a mile, an be almost directly over their heads ; and yet, when the fact is considered that it was witnessed under almost identical circumstances at Philadelphia, some 90 miles south-west of New York ; at New Haven, 80 miles east ; at Barnegat, 40 miles south ; and at Newburg, on the Hudson, 60 miles north, it will be perceived that the idea of its insignificant eleva tion was most delusive. It must have been at an immense elevation to hav e been seen at thes e w idel y remote points, and to h a ve presented at a ll o f thew the same appearance of being so near l y i n the zenith. It is also to be remarked, in connection with the meteor, that for the previous two or three nights brilliant flashes of the aurora borealis have illumined the northern skies—a most unusual dis play in the dogdays, and one which we only look for in the late fall and Winter months. The aurora is generally supposed to indicate clear cold weather, but in this case it has been followed by an oppres sively sultry state of the atmosphere, thus contra dieting our previously conceived notions. It is also very closely connected in point of time with the solar eclipse, which took place last Wednesday morning." The cholera has already shown itself in the south of France. THE CLAN CAMPBELL IN THE HOUSE OF LORD' —On Monday, when Lord Clyde, the pacificator of Indies who has served with distinction in every great battle fns which the British have been engaged since Corunna, wag' installed as a Peer in the House of Lords, besides the berg being a Campbell, the Lord Bishop of Bangor, who read prayers, was a Campbell, the Lord Chancellor, who pre sided on the Woolsack, was a Campbell, and the new Peer was introduced by the Duke of Argyle, now Lord Privi Seal, and Chief of the Clan.—Scotsman. • THE LEIGH WOODS MURDER.—On Saturday morning, as a man named Henry Mackay was gatheririg herbs in Leigh-woods near Bristol, he found a large brooch, which has been identified as belonging to the unfortunate Ch: LI lotto Pngz4ey, ,hose murder by John William B€. he tli;:c2 years fine& createdmucb sensation. TI 1(4 brooch was lying in a hollow covered with weeds.
