LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1880. Lord PALMERSTON spoke out last evening as Lord PALMERSTON could alone be expected to speak out in reference to the past, present, and future of the Neapolitan Government. His MAJESTY (now only nominally) of the Two Sicilies will be enabled to see from this how much support or countenance he is likely to obtain from England, in his struggle with that revolution within his own dominions which he himself has provoked. He will be enabled at once to appreciate the futility of half, at least, of his present diplomatic appeal ad dressed simultaneously to the courts of St. James's and the Tuileries. The Prime Minister said but few words last evening in regard to this forlorn hope of BOMB! sent in quest of succour—but they were words of the weightiest significance. We understand, he said we, the Government of England, understand that the Neapolitan Government has despatched two diplomatic agents, the one to Paris, the other to London—diplomatic agents who may very shortly—perhaps even within two days—be expected to arrive at their respective destinations, for the purpose of making some com munication [nothing more definite than that is yet known about them—some communication] to the allied Governments. Having intimated which, in fewer words even than those in which we have here given the announcement, Lord PALMERSTON added,—" I trust the house will not for a moment doubt that in communications which may be made to that envoy we shall express those feelings which her MAJESTY'S Government, in common with every one in this country, feel in regard to the barbarities committed at Palermo—barbarities which are really disgraceful to the present age and civilisation of Europe." It is thus by anticipation even, and in these strong terms, that the British Government, through the mouth of its Ministerial chief, repro bates that cruel and wanton bombardment of the defenceless city of Palermo, by which the Royal Navy of the King of NAPLES despicably strove to .avenge upon a throng of civilians of all ages and of both sexes the ignominious defeat of the Royal army (from 20,000 to 25,000—strong ? shall we say, or weak) by the little band of "bri gands," led on by the consummate daring of 'GARIBALDI'. Having thus plainly enough ex pressed his opinion in respect to the bombard ment, the Premier added scornfully—" With re gard to any expectations that such representations may have any beneficial effect upon tha future con .duet of the Government of Naples I cannot venture to lead the house to entertain any sanguine hopes." On the Contrary, the noble viscount acknowledged that it wa s " far more likely" that the course pur sued by the Neapolitan Government would be diametrically the' reverse of what might here be desired almost unanimously, and that instead of witnessing the disgrace and degradation, we should witness the reward and promotion, of the very officers who have committ e d these atrocities. As to the forlorn condition in which the Kir g of Naples -will now find himself, let Lord PALMERSTON'S sub- We kn ow , " asequent remarks speak for themselves! " 1e said, " that the Neapolitan Government has ap plied for assistance to its foreign allies—that is, to guarantee the possession of the Two Sicilies to the King of N A PLEs." At the next sentence—" Austria has positively and peremptorily refused to interfere at all in the aZairs of Naples "—the House cheered ! At the next—" We have every reason to believe that the determiziation of the French Government Before closing these remarks we would earnestly direct the attention of those among our readers who are now closely watching the progress of events in Southern Italy —to facilitate their appreciation of the force :and rela tive bearing of those events by as frequent reference as may be practicable to maps of reliable authenticity. One of these—specified in the foot note—has but just now made its appearance, a map of notable clearness and accuracy, reduced from the surveys of Admiral SMYTH and the Neapo politan Government. * Maclure, Macdonald, and Macgregor's Map of Sicily : with enlarged plans of Messina, Palermo, and Syracuse. Price ls. London: Stanford : 1860. Attention has at length, we confidently trust, been directed effectually to the long "vexed ques tion " of our Colonial Military Expenditure. It will be in the remembrance of many that a Com mission especially organised to inquire into this subject was appointed about a year since at the instance of the Right Hon. JONATHAN PEEL, late Secretary of State for War under the Earl of DERBY'S Administration. The Commissioners have sat since then " many a time and oft," have entered vigorously and determinedly upon the labours of their investigation, and have at length, after mature consideration, drawn up those reports which have been very recently laid before Parlia ment. Their "reports," we say advisedly, for the inquiry has been conducted to a conclusion so con scientiously that actually two reports, instead of the " one" customary document, will be found by the general public to have resulted from the per severing and protracted toil of the Commission. A minority of one—Mr F. ELLIOTT to wit—somewhat reminding us of the "procession of one" formed by the stately and awful Mrs. HOMINY in _Martin Chuzzlewit---having supplemented the collective report of his colleagues (the majority) by a second enunciating his own individual opinions in regard to the particular problem under examination. Combining these two important reports, however as the optician combines the lenses in the forma tion of a telescope, we seem to get nearer to the remote and scattered subjects under scrutiny— examining each in turn with a more distinct appre ciation of all of them together, and with a more vivid apprehension of facts hitherto in many in stances but dimly seen, some of them even to the generality but little more than faintly conjectural. It is—in consequence of these double reports of the Commission set on foot by General PEEL— distinctly recognised at last, how urgent the necessity is now thrusting upon us continu ally with increasing force, the long suspected but at length sufficiently obvious requirement for some total and immediate change being adventured upon in the matter of our colonial military expenditure. For, what are some among the principal facts and figures now flooded upon this question through the inquiry of these commissioners ? It appears, then, to begin with, that the military charges for her fifty colonies cost England upon the year 1857-1858 precisely £3,968,599, or very little short indeed of the round sum of £4,000,000 sterling. In other words, we paid then during the narrow compass of a single twelvemonth for the defence of our half-hundred colonies over one entire quarter of our enormous military expenditure of £15,000,000. And how much, it may be asked, out of these £4,000,000 paid down for the military defence of those fifty British colo nies, how much of those £4,000,000 was contri buted within that year (1857-1858) by the colonies themselves ? How much ?—not £400,000 ! To be exact, just £378,253 ! Here is the root of the whole difficulty. Here is good ground to work upon in the grand new cause of retrenchment. Do we complain of the monstrous outlay yearly during a time of peace, the extravagant and prodi gal disbursement of £15,000,000 per annum upon our military establishment ? Here is a ready means opened to us for the lightening of those particular " fardels" of ours by an odd million or two. For it is perfectly obvious by this time to the people as well as to Parliament, to the Commons themselves as well as to the Commissioners, that while it is of course our duty and interest to support a struggling colony in its infancy, the duty of its military defence devolves after a while from the old mother country to the population of the parti cular colony called by her protective influence into existence. There is no reason why the vast majo rity of the new colonies should " not" hence forth be required to defend themselves. There are divers good reasons at once addaeeable to prove that they " should," and to prove this to demonstration. These reasons are many of them given succinctly and overwhelm ingly in the reports of the Commissioners. To those reports we may take an early opportunity of reverting. Here at any rate we particularise a few out of our fifty colonies, which may be treated dif ferently, inasmuch as they are of a wholly excep tional character. These are, however, in simple truth, little better than military strongholds, "gar risoned," rather than peopled, with colonists. Our enumeration of a few amongst them will testify at once the accuracy of our description in this parti cular. Gibraltar for example, and Malta, the three hundred islands of " the still vexed Bermoothes," and the rocky cone of St. Helena. Yet upon the military defence of these garrison•colonies there was spent during the year already specified more than one-fourth of the dreadful aggregate of £3,968,599—in other words, a round sum of £1,166,900. And of this £1,166,900, there was no more than the small sum --what MONTAGUE TIGG would call "the ridiculously small amount"—of £2i3,855 contributed by the garrison colo- hies themselves. Even under this one ex- ceptional class, therefore, there is " room and verge enough" for improvement. How much more, however, is thereunder all the other classes of all the remaining British Colonies, towards the military defence of which, during that one year, '57, '5B, there was contributed nearly £3,000,000 — something, at any rate, over £2,800,000. Not one sixpence of which, in point of fact, need have been required from the Imperial coffers of the old father land. Eighty years ago the grandest of all our British Colonies signalised thenceforth a truth, utterly beyond the chance of ever being gainsaid with impunity by our Government—the truth enunciating the just principle that the mother country had no right to fill her own exchequer by taxing her remote dependencies. As a pendant to that great truth, to that just principle, chivalrously maintained at the point of their good swords by WASHINGTON and his compatriots, in the renowned American War of Eauncination—might we not wisely now proclaim a principle quite as just in itself? Might we not echo back upon our colonies as important a truth in its way—namely, that Eng land ought not longer to be held almost entirely responsible for the military defence of our colonies, is similar to that of Austria"—those cheers were but that, on the contrary, these colonies might, in renewed. While any explanations as to the reply reason and in manliness, be able by this time to likely to be given by the English Government defend themselves. was wisely enough deemed by the noble viscount to be absolutely superfluous ! The result to the King of NAPLES and his Government---to use the phrase of the reporter—" may be more easily ima gined than described !" There is no subject on which Englishmen of all parties, politics, and sects feel more at one than on that of the African Slave Trade. Sometimes it has appeared to be almost made out to the satisfaction of philanthropists like the late Mr. BUXTON, that our money was thrown away in attempting its suppression by cruisers ; at least that the sufferings of the negroes were greatly increased by the means employed by slavers to escape detection and capture. Yet never could either we or our gover nors bring ourselves to resign this horrid trade to its natural development. We could not stand by and see a set of the vilest pirates on earth pursue their accursed traffic without restraint on the high- ways of the ocean. Hitherto, however, between America and Spain we have succeeded but imperfectly. American Governments have been willing to see the trade suppressed, and of late have co-operated more ac tively with us to attain that object. But a sensi tiveness on the question of the right of search, the remains of an old misunderstanding, have enabled slavers to use the American flag, and to defy our commanders. Spain, on her part, is guilty of the most unblushing fraud as well as cruelty. By treaty she is bound to suppress the traffic ; and she has already received money, amounting now, we believe, to nearly half a million, from us for that purpose. Yet her colonies—Cuba especially, and Porto Rico are now the great remaining marts for slavers. Could we but coerce them, the slave trade would cease. We have a perfect moral right to do it ; and Americans have more than hinted that we ought to act on that right, and compel the fulfilment of the treaty. Assuredly, were they in our position, and did they feel in the subject the interest universally felt here, they would soon find a short cut to complete sup pression of the traffic ; and they would have, what we should, the applause of the civilised world. Just at the present time, however, the Americans have a special reason of their own why they should wish to put an end to the slave trade. It is likely to become an annual charge on their na tional treasury. Their cruisers have, for de cency's sake, been increased, and they seem not to like that we should monopolise the naval credit of all the captures. The consequence has been that many cargoes of negroes have been brought in by the American vessels, which at no little cost had to be maintained, and reconveyed across the Atlantic to the colony of Liberia—the American Act on the slave trade not permitting captured slaves to remain in the states, but requiring that they should be conveyed to some part of the coast of Africa. A cargo captured by the Echo in 1858 had been sent across in this way, at a cost of 150 dollars each, to Liberia, under an engagement by Mr. BUCHANAN with the American Colonisation Society. The expenditure on another cargo brought by the Wildfire will amount to more than 100,000 dollars, and now the Mohawk has brought them a third, of 507 African negroes. The President has there fore been compelled to ask for a permanent appro priation of money for the purpose of providing for the captured negroes; and has suggested legislation enabling the captains to take the negroes at once to Africa when practicable, and place them in charge of the agent of the society. This bill, we learned on Friday, had passed . ; and, at a cost of 50,000 dollars the negroes last captured were placed in charge of the Colonisation Society. The States have therefore to incur considerable expense, in addition to that of maintaining the cruising squadron. We are not surprised, therefore, that Mr. BtiCEfANAN begins to rub his eyes, and that he should close his Message to the Congress on the subject with the observation which gave occasion to Mr. CAVE'S question on Friday night—" It is truly lamentable that Great Britain and the United States should be obliged to expend such a vast amount of blood and treasure for the suppression of the African slave trade, and this when the only portions of the civilised world where it is tolerated and encouraged are the Spanish Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico." There is reason to think that the American Government is sincere in wishing to put down the slave trade. It can hardly desire to be put to the expense now incurred in capturing negroes, and maintaining them for a year after wards through the agency of the Colonisation Society—the object of that society having been to get rid of the negroes from America, not to pro vide for captured ones. Neither can we conceive that from considerations of domestic policy, Ame rican statesmen can be otherwise than opposed to the introduction of a mass of barbarous negroes amongst those long resident in, indeed born in the the country, and are as truly Americans as Mr. BUCHANAN himself and every member of Con gress. The demands of some of the Southern States for the abolition of the penal laws against the slave trade will never be complied with will ingly by American statesmen. They must there fore on every ground regard the traffic with hos tility. It seems strange, then, that effectual co-operation should not be possible ; butSthe truth is, Ame rican Democracy is a stiff-necked animal. A law is wanted to remedy a confessed deficiency - in the American law on the subject, which that perverse Democracy would not consent to. An American cruiser may seize a vessel under the American flag with slaves on board ; but, if she have neither flag nor papers, although filled with slaves —or if she be fitted up as a slaver, although with the Ameri can flag flying—in either case an American captain dare not meddle with her. Hence a slaver waiting for a cargo off the coast of Africa under the American flag can be touched by neither our cruisers nor those of her own country ; and if she throw overboard her flag and papers off Cuba, she would be safe from American cruisers, though not from ours. Mr. BUCHANAN will not be a candi date for re-election ; he sees the interest of his country on this question. Can he not leave them as his parting legacy an earnest appeal to give up all old jealousies on this subject, and for the sake of his country and of humanity to enact complete laws and to co operate by interchange of conces sions with England to blot this accursed traffic from the earth. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1860 HER 31.ei TESTY'S Tin,742R E. Last night a new candidate for buffo honours was intro duced in the person of Signor Giuseppe Ciampi, who appeared as Doctor Bartolo in the " Barbiere." The new buffo is a very young man, not more, we understand, than 21 years of age, possesses a capital voice—a baritone rather than a bass in register—and has evidently been tutored in the very best school. He is a first-rate comedian, is instinct with humour and spirit, and perfectly original. We may say at once that Signor Ciampi achieved one of the most thoroughly legitimate successes we remember for years on the Italian stage. His appearance at first did not greatly prepossess the spectators. The advent of such an artist as Signor Ciampi is likely to restore to the Italian stage many comic masterpieces which were necessarily banish4d with La blache. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Alice and the Princess Louisa, visited the Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, at Claridge's Hotel, yesterday afternoon. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received ai Mr. Reuter's office : NAPLES, JUNE 12. It is officially stated that two steamers, having on board troops and ammunition, have been cap tured by Neapolitan ships of war. Naples continues tranquil. TURIN, JUNE 12. M. de Martino, the Neapolitan envoy, is en trusted with detailed instructions for brief and urgent negotiations with the Emperor Napoleon. The following are the bases on which the King of Naples consents at least for the present to an ar rangement with the Sicilian insurrectionists : Francis 11. is ready to engage himself to grant a liberal constitution on the broadest basis to Sicily, to be also applied to the whole kingdom. Should the Sicilians desire a distinct and inde pendent existence, the King would extend his con cessions so far as to place Sicily in a position simi lar to that of the Duchy of Luxembourg. The attitude of Count Cavour leaves, however, little hope of a solution favourable to the King of Naples. Garibaldi being triumphant Count Cavour now requests the Cabinet of the Tuileries to adopt, in regard to Sicily, the policy followed in reference to Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and the Legations. This request has only been confidently made to the Emperor Napoleon. Count Cavour has addressed an official despatch to the Chevalier Nigra, who communicated its con tents to M. Thouvenel about four days ago. In this despatch Count Cavour expresses a hope that France will not in any way interfere in the affairs of Sicily. He reminds the French Cabinet that the principle of non-intervention in Italy, as contained in the celebrated note of Lord John Russell, has been officially accepted by the French Government. TURIN, JUNE 12. The Marquis Forrearra, Marquis Rocaforte, and Count Manzoni, Sicilian Emigres, have gone to Palermo. PARIS, JUNE 13. The Moniteur of this morning announces that the Senate has unanimously adopted the Senatus Consulte relative to the annexation of Savoy and Nice. The French laws and constitution will come into operation on the Ist January, 18G1. To-morrow the Bourse will be closed. TURIN, JUNE 12. The Marquis Forrearra, Marquis Rocaforte, and Count Manzoni, Sicilian emigres, have gone to Palermo. VIENNA, JUNE 13. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day contains an Imperial decree, granting to the Central Lombardo- Venetian Congregation a decisive instead of a de liberative vote upon all matters, except, however, upon such administrative questions as affect the rights of the Government—namely, the appropria tion of the proposed expenditure, and the revision of the provincial treasury accounts. The Commission appointed for examining the Public debt has presented to the Emperor a gene ral report on the state of the whole public debt of the empire. This report will bo published shortly. PARIS, JUNE 12. In official quarters it is stated that the approach ing interview of the Emperor Napoleon with the Prince Regent of Prussia and other German sove reigns was proposed by the Emperor with the ob ject of calming the uneasiness of the German people, and of re-establishing the international re lations of tile two countries, France and Germany, on a basis of mutual and absolute confidence. GENEVA, JUNE 12. The Emperor will pass through Strasburgh at five o'clock on Friday evening, on his way to join the Prince Regent at Baden-Baden, and will pre serve the strictest incognito. NAPLES, JUNE 10. Count Aquila, uncle of the King, strongly in sists that an Italian policy and liberal institutions should be carried out, and hopes that his policy will be agreed to by the King.

A letter in the Siecle contains the following in telligence from Palermo : "The company of the Genoese Carabineers com manded by A. Mosto, consisted of 35 soldiers. At the battle of Calata Fima, on the 15th of May, five were killed ; one was missing, and supposed to be dead ; three were wounded, but doing well. At the skirmish of Parco, on the 24th of May, Mosto Carlo, thought to be a prisoner of the Roy alists, was killed. At the assault of Palermo, on the 29th, five were wounded. At the defence of the convent of the White Benedictines, on the 30th, seven were wounded, all of whom are re covering. In all, out of the 35, 22 are dead or wounded, for he who sends the list, M. Bartolomeo Pavi, was twice wounded himself. " The company of the Genoese Ckvabineers, united to the 7th company of the expi!clition, has been deemed worthy of most honourable mention in the presence of the corps of officers for their conduct at the convent.

NEW ZEALAND CHIEFS.—At the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Roderick Murchison introduced to the notice of the Fellows two New Zealand Chiefs, who were brought to Trieste last year at their own request. They are now under the guidance of Professor Ferdinand Von Hockstetter, a distinguished Austrian geo logist, who, having passed nine mouths in New Zealand, has published a work upon the geological etnsetnre of that country. These samples of the aborigines of our most dis tant colony were most kindly treated in Austria, where they were presented to the Emperor and Empress, and, besides visiting all the establishments of art, science, and manu facture in Vienna, were instructed in the art of printing. The elder of the two, Wiremu (William) Toetoe : addressed the meeting very energetically in the Maori la nguage, an d , as the words " Queen Victoria" were often pronounced, to was afterwards explained that inasmuch as a certain num ber of New Zealanders were adhering to a native king, st Toetoe (who is a postmaster, by the by, in Use Governmen, service) wished to show his loyalty to his true Sovereigni They will embark very shortly to return to their native land, HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BROMPTON.—On. Sunday morning last the beautiful little chapel attached to this hospital was thrown open to the general public, on the occasion of the anniver sary sermon being preached by the Archbishop of Canter,. bury. The text selected was Revelations, chap. 22, v. 3, "'And there shall be no nt re curse," from which the arch bishop preached a mo t earnest and appropriate discourse, describing, at the close of if, the importance of this admir able charity, on medical, religious, and social grounds ; 972 as in-patients, and 4,647 as out-patients, had been recipients of its benefits during the past year. It was much to be lamented that the difference between the annual subscrip tions (the only assured source of income) and the annual expenditure was over £ t,OOO a s year, which necessitated con stont appeals to Christian liberality. After the sermon a collection was made which amounted to £l6 17s. 6d. , - -•-- JIM - AI, DRAMATIC COLLEGE.— At the suggestion of several of the ladies patronesses and patrons of this admi rable institution, the Fancy Fair lately held will be repeated.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time. The following bills were considered and ordererl for the third reading :—Epsom and Leatherhead Railway Bill; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Capital) Bill. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented, chiefly in favour of the Education Bill ; against the powers vested in the Poor Law Commissioners, and praying for an amendment of the law; against the provision in the Census Bill which required a landlord to give a return of the religious profession of his lodgers, as being useless and calculated to mislead as to the actual numbers of the different religious denominations in the country; against the mode of registering births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland; against Sunday trading, &c. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. PAGET moved to leave ou.t in line 20 " 12," and insert " 13." The object of the amendment was to prevent children being admitted to work in mines before they had obtained an adequate amount of me ntal and moral culture. The plan he proposed had been adopted by the provisions of the Factory Act, and that measure, had worked most suc cessfully. He was opposed to this bill when it was intro duced as being an undue interference between the employer and employed, but the statement ho made as to its success ful operation was founded on information furnished by the most competent authority. The hon. member then referred to the state of juvenile education amongst the working classes, and said that it was stated by persons of the most reliable character, that up to a certain age, only 15 out of 46 could read, and the number would much be re duced if the test of writing were required. Mr. CLIVE defended the clause, which he said was framed in conformity with the suggestions of those best qualified to understand the subject . He denied the, the operation of the factory act in respect to the question under consideration was satisfactory, as it had the effect of ex cluding in Scotch factories children ender a certain age, when their labour would be valuable. Mr. LIDDELL opposed the clause, as well as the amend ment. He considered that a compulsory enactment of that kind would materially impede the effo its of those who had laboured strenuously for the education of the working classes, and would disgust those classes with that very edu cation which it was the duty as well as the desire of the house to promote. The partial application of the principle of compulsory labour to any one branc h of industry would, according to sound political axioms, tel ad to raise wages and place such branch of trade at a most unfair in equality with other branches of natir ,nal industry. They should remember that they we re legislating for the working classes; and that in d ealing with juvenile labour, they might be depriving a wr irking man of an im rortant addition of 65., 75., or Bs. a week to his income, by the restriction intended to be impose. . He contended also that, as we were about to enter into a competition with France, we ought to afford every facility for the supply of labour in the production of those arti ales which we intended for the French market. Mr. ADDERLEY objected to step by step legislation, and said that the statute book was in a most anomalous condition in reference to the subject a juvenile labour. He contended that there should be a gene ral measure introduced on this question. They should not say to employers that they should net employ boys of a cert ain age, but that they should employ them co „ sistently with the national system of education. In fact, they were now cndeavouring to throw on the employer the obligation of the parent, while the house should stand in that relation to the child, or, at all events, partake of it conjointly with the parent. Mr. C. BUXTON said that the system which it was proposed was one of compulsor y education, to which he strongly objected. Instead of 1 caving this subject of juvenile education to the gradual increase of knowledge and intelligence, instead of having recourse to law, and impos ing criminal penalties for its neglect.. Mr. CROSSLEY objected to the bill, and said that its operation in Yorkshire would have the effect, to a considerable extent, of confiscating mining property. Mining proprietors had no objection to children being edu cated while in their employment, but no means could be devised to render the present bill practical in operation. The children employed in mines were a hard dreadnaught class, and it would be useless to depend on procuring them from schools, so that the effect of the bill would be to drive children into other branches of industry. He had no objection to the age proposed, After some further discussion, in which, however, no new point was introduced, Mr. AYRTON said that the only object which they were then discussing was at what age, whether 12 or 13, children should be employed in mines, under any restric tion or not. The next clause would provide for what the description of education would be, and the amount of pro tection to be extended to children. There were precedents for fixing the age of the children to be employed. The age of 13 was that which had been decided on with re spect to children employed in factories, and that decision was founded on a general principle, namely, that it was a period of life when children had arrived at the age of dis cretion for employment. If this was the case in other em ployments, it was most particularly so in regard to labour in mines, and the age of 13 was the one best suited to children engaged in mines according to the report of inspectors of mines. He contended that this was a question of mo rality, religion, and duty on one side, and money and the acquisition of money in its worst form on the other. With regard to this latter, it was a fact that the effect of this bill would be to compel them to make a larger outlay of their capital, and instead of employing juvenile labour without restriction, they would more properly be required to employ adult labour. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that, as was not an unusual case, the house was called on to decide between three courses, namely, two extremes and one medium course. In one in stance it was proposed that there should be no restraint imposed on the employment of children in mines. Unless they were disposed to sweep away the acts 4 and 5 of Vic toria they could not agree to that proposition. He could not consent to the proposal of the honourable member (Mr. Paget), for he considered the alteration he was desi rous of introducing was not one that should be adopted with out some experience. Government did not propose to do away with the employment of children of 10 years of age in mines, provided they could read and write. They could extend the age to 13 if they found that the addition of two years was not sufficient for the protection of children. Col. LINDSAY said that there was much misrepresen tation as to the bad condition of persons employed in mines. The house thea divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 7l Against it l7B Majority —lO7 The amendment was accordingly lost. Mr. KINNAIRD moved the following amendment,-- "That no such boy shall be kept, or allowed to remain, in any colliery or mine for a longer period than eight hours in one day." Mr. CLIVE felt bound to oppose the amendment. The mortality in mines amongst boys was an argument against the amendment, because, by the restriction it imposed, it would be necessary that the boys should be drawn up and let down from the mines more frequently, which would in crease the risk to their lives. Mr. KINNAIRD postponed the amendment for the pre sent. Lord J. MANNERS moved an amendment to the effect that no children should be employed in mines under 12 years of age under any circumstances. He alluded to the Factory Act, and stated that the physical improvement effected in children employed in factories was a conclusive argument in favour of increasing the age of children to be employed in mines, After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY, Mr. BRUCE opposed any exceptional legislation on this subject. It had been said that there was a connection be tween ignorance and crime, and what was the case as re garded the mining population? Mr. Fletcher, who has Collected a cumber of statistics on this subject, gives the following result with reference to committals for crime within certain p9riods : — Metropolitan districts, 22f per 1,000: ircn districts. 18; agricultural, 14 ; cotton, 12; silk, g; and mining districts, only 6 per 1,000. Like the hon. and gallant member (Colonel Lindsay) he had visited mines, and could smoab to the good condition of the:mining population. _ After a few words from Mr. CATLEY, Colonel LINDSAY contended that it was most unfair to apply a restriction such as that proposed by the bill, the effect of which would be to drive juvenile labour into other channels than mining. which would be an injury to the mining interest and to the public. • After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. LIDDELL moved the omission of the clause. Lard A. V. TEMPEST seconded the amendment. The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against it 180 Majority -89 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. ADDERLEY suggested that it should be post poned, as well as clause 3. Sir G. C. LEWIS declined to accede to the suggestion. Some discussion ensued, after which, Mr. KINNAIRD moved the amendment which he had previously brought forward, limiting the tim e of work for boys under 14 years of age to eight hours a-day. The committee divided— For the amendment Against it Majority lost. '' progress and the h ouse resumed.

COURT OF ARCHES, THIS DAY. (Before Dr. Lushington, Dean of Arches.) THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY THIS BISHOP OF LONDON V. THE REV. JAMES BONWELL. This was a suit promoted by the Bishop of London against the Rev. James Bonwell, perpetual curate of the district chapel of St. Philip, in the parish of Stepney, for immorality and other ecclesiastical offences alleged to have been corn mated by him. On Wednesday last 28 articles were exhi bited against the rev. defendant, and reported in The Sun of that day. The accusation was that he made the ac quaintance of a Miss Yorath, at Margate, in September, 1858, representing himself to be an unmarried man, while he had a wife alive at the time. It was alleged that the defendant harboured Miss Yorath, when she was preg nant, in the school-house near the church of St. Philip, Stepney, in the autumn of 1859, where she gave birth to a male child, which afterwards died. The articles detailed the circumstances attending the connection which was alleged to have existed between Mr. Bon'well and Miss Yorath. It was asserted that the child was privately bap tized by the defendant, and that he made the arrangemen ts for the funeral. On that day Mr. Bonwell appeared in person to oppose the admission of the articles, objecting to them on the ground that they contained charges which were not ecclesiastical offences, and he also contended that the Court could not take cognisance of offences committed out of the diocese. He quoted the case of " Homer and Bloomer v. Jones," 9 Jur. p. 167. Mr. Bonwell also ob jected to some of the articles on the ground that the dates and places of certain alleged acts were not sufficiently specified. Dr. Lushington gave judgment to-day. He said that he need hardly observe that, in considering the admissability of these articles, they should only contain legal charges. The Court had before it the letters of request, the decree citing Mr. Bonwell to appear, and it had nothing else under consideration. The Court held that the dates were sufficiently specified, and with regard to the baptism of the child, it was not a question when it was baptised, but whether it was baptised by Mr. Bonwell. Taking the whole of the circumstances into consideration, the Court held that the articles were properly drawn and must be ad mitted; but at the same time the Court was desirous that it should not go forth to the public that it expressed any opinion as to the truth or falsehood of the allegations. Mr. Bonwell asked leave to appeal. After a lengthened conversation, Dr. Lushington said he saw r o special ground for allowing an appeal, and he must therefore refuse it. Mr. Bonwell gave a negative issue to the articles, and the case now stands for further hearing. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.--( THIS DAY) NEW COURT. (Before th© Recorder.) CONCEALMENT OF BIRTH. Sarah Gough, 30, widow, was indicted for concealing the birth of her child. Mr. Metcalf prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was sen tenced to a month's imprisonment. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) STEALING A LETTER. Richard Hansford, 26, letter-carrier, • was found gußty of stealing a letter containing money, the property of the Postmaster-General. The learned Judge sentenced him to six years' penal servitude. MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Wcodgate, 48, plasterer, was indicted for ftailo niously killing and slaying Charles Dixon. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Judge, after commenting upon the circum stances of the case, sentenced him to three weeks' impri sonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE --(THIS DA Y .) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—ARTFUL TRlCK.—Frederick Marchant, a young man was charged with attempting to obtain money from Mr. Larking, of the Spread Eagle, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, by the following artful trick : The prisoner entered the house on the previous evening at a time a good many customers were present ; and pulling a bottle from his pocket demanded 2d. for it, saying that was what he left on it. This being known to be untrue he was refused the money, on which he said he would have biscuits if he did not have money, and seized some and bolted ciff, but was brought back and given into custody, when two other bottles were found on him. It was stated is be the practice of persons to buy' bottles at the marine store shops at about one halfpenny each, arid then to take them at a busy time to publichouses, and allei c ing they had them at the houses to obtain 2d. for them, and that the practice is pretty extensively carried' on in Kane districts. Remanded. THAMES. A WAPPING- PeuPEß.—Elizabeth Normington, a big, middle-aged woman, of dissipated appearance, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing a violent assazdt upon Elizabeth Wright, a wards-woman in Wapping po house, one of the workhouses of the Stepney Union. The prisoner is one of the disorderly paupers of tale Wapping house, where the structural arrangements are de ficient, Ad have been frequently made the subject of com ment by the magistrates of this court. The guardiuns, however, have done all in their power to remedy the ( evil. Yesterday the prisoner demanded her discharge, and left the workhouse. She returned in the evening as a "casual," and asked Mrs. Wright a well-behaved woman, for a drink of water. Mrs. Wright gave her some tea, and after some de lay, she went upstairs to the sleeping ward, and used 'very bad language. She was requested to go to bed, and reft teed, and after acting in a most disorderly manner, made a vio lent attack on Mrs. Wright, struck her repeatedly, and dragged a large quantity of hair from her head. Mrs. Wright's repeated cries of murder brought several persons to her assistance, and she was secured. Mr. Selfe—Was the prisoner drunk ? Mrs. Wright—She had been drinking, I believe, but she was not drunk. She said to me, " Mind, I have not been drinking. I want to give it you well." The mistress then took oft her bonnet and cap, and exhibited a large bald place on the top of her head, at the same time producing the hair which had been forcibly dragged from it. There Was a good handful. The prisoner in her defence said that the complainant ill-used her and broke her arm, and she could not. raise it to her mouth. Mr. Selfe—lf you are in the practice of drinking heavily that will be a very gratifying circumstance. Mrs. Wright—We were both down, and sb.e may have been hurt, but her arm is not broken. Flowers, the porter of the Wapping workhouse, said that the prisoner had been repeatedly brought before the magi strate for disorderly conduct, but had never been sent to prison from the court. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner to the House of Cor rection, and to be kept to hard labour for one calendar month. THIS DAY'S MARKE'rs. CORN EXCHANC:rE.
