LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1860 Lord GRANVILLE frightened his brother Peers last night. His language implied that they might be required to attend to business till the end of August, or even—in mercy to the partridges—over the Ist of September ! Well might he be saluted with an "Oh ! oh !" His lordship, however, only went on coolly to prove his point, and even to point to the example of the Commons. If they are willing to work so hard and so long—to come toge ther to the number of upwards of 500 on the 6th of August to settle such a question as a penny more or less duty on paper,—if they will toil morn ing and evening too, to get through what is brought before them—why, what would the country say to the Lords if they could not hold out as well and as long. Very easy work too, at the hardest, that of Noble Lords. They want no forty peers to form a house; their presence at a debate is not even required for a vote at its close. A kind of omniscience is in courtesy attributed to them ; and, unlike the judges of the land, or the members of the Lower House, they are supposed to know all that goes on in their absence, and to understand both sides of an argument which they have never heard. But the Lords have a standing order by which they will not accept a bill unless it be read a second time by the 27th of July. An order very well meant no doubt. Its object is to brush up the House of Commons, to compel it to hasten its pace, to cough down prosy talkers, to expedite business, and, if it can, to stop the HORSMANS and ELPHIN STONES when they insist on riding their hobbies out of breath on almost every occasion. Why should not the House of Lords have time to discuss and consider the measures sent up by the Commons ? "Why should they be reduced to mere voting machines ? They are " the Lords," and will assert their position, even on financial questions, against Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. BRIGHT, and all the Radicals in the Kingdom. Now this may be all well enough, but the Lords find that, unless their rule be made very elastic, it will snap. They introduce therefore a bit of india rubber—if a bill be of " urgent" importance they will attend to it, though it may not have passed the Rubicon of a second reading on the right day. Lord GRANVILLE told them he liked the rule, and wished to sustain it, but that if they would do so, it must be, in plain English, by not shirking - work which wanted to be done. We have sometimes wondered, however, how the constitutional Lords reconcile such a rule with the Royal Prerogative. The QUEEN has undenia bly a right to keep Parliament sitting till Christ mas, if she wishes. What, shall we say then to " her Lords" declaring that they did not mean to attend to any of the work for which she kept them together, unless it came before them on some early day. The QUEEN assembles them for despatch of business ; they meet, and tell her that they mean to be all of them among the partridges at the proper season. Amusement, say they, we must have, let what will become of busi ness ; we shall therefore pass a rule which will vir tually eompel you to liberate us at the time we wish. In fact, like the building trades, the Lords strike for short time. It was, indeed, but a sorry list of bills to which Lord DERBY pointed as coming before his house With the character of urgency—bills in which, for the most part, the country takes but little interest. There is among them only th e E uro p e a n F orces India) Bill which can be said to be of inigerial ; and that, though it involves aJmost a seco revolution in the government of India, yet, being an. Indian question, is one which the public and the Rouse of Commons, too, has left to be fought out between the Government mud the old Indians — t h e Rouse on both sides leaving the Indians and Mr. R onsl .tAN to talk, and steadily supporting the Government. Of the E cc l es i as ti ca l Commission Bill the Gov ernment have surrendered all that made it worth while to troubl e the Lords. with it. The Irish Poor-law 13ill must be passed in some shape, but a Continuance Bill - would be enough ; and the Bill for the Local 'Management o f the Metropolis affected many interests, and (mo l t to be more fully discussed. To all which Lord GRANVILLE'S reply seemed to be, these thicgs must all be altended to, and my lords, who have had play enough in all conscience, must work awhile like the toiling Commons. What the country will feel is, that between the party in the Commons which represents the vast majority of the Lords, and the want of firmness on part of the Government, the session, which opened with such splendid promises, has not produced a single bill of much importance. We have got the Treaty, to be sure—we have got rid of 400 articles from the tariff with the revenue attached to them ; and we have got a second edition of a tenpenny Income-tax, that those who like sour French wines may get them cheaper. But even the Reform Bill, so moderate that it was laughed at as only made to pass ; so difficult to vote against, that it passed a second reading without a division —even this had to quit the very threshold of committee, because its promoters could not or would not step a ceaseless flow of talk. Then the Bankruptcy Bill, loudly called for by the commercial world, passed by both sides of the House—even this must die in committee, because generous Mr. HENLEY trembled for the class who spend more than the rent of their estates, or more than their fixed incomes ; and again, last night, a really important set of bills on the criminal law, the result of the labours of a Lords' committee and of the Statute Law Commissioners, had all to be abandoned. It is not to be wondered at then that both Lords and Commons feel that " the Busi ness" of Parliament question is becoming one of the most serious of the day. If there be not some improvement in the process of promising much and doing little, the business of Parliament will at ength descend to—zero. There is some comfort in thinking that we are fast approaching the end of this unfortunate session of Parliament. Unable to get anything of good from it—despairing (as we may well do now at the close of the first week of August) of its ever redeeming its character—we want at last simply to be rid of it as a nuisance. Looking back through the records of its existence during this last half-year, we find nothing whatever, either in Lords or Commons, capable of affording an adequate compensation for so much waste of time and so many truly lamentable disappointments: The session of 1860 will be remembered as one of the longest within the memory of the present gene ration. It will also be borne in mind as one of the most fruitless in the way of legislation. It com menced earlier than usual this year—namely, on Tuesday the 24th of January. It will close later than it has done for many years past—when, upon what day of the week or upon what day of the month, it would be hazardous to predict now with any confidence. It will probably be nearer the season of the shooting of partridges than the shoot ing of grouse—long enough after the 13th of August to come within view of the Ist of September. But for the recent battue among the Innocents, there would have been a reasonable probability of its skipping coolly over the close of the buck-hunting season, on the 14th proximo, and of being protracted even beyond the commencement, on the Ist of October, of the pheasant shooting— even if it did not run on in that case to the com mencement of the fox-hunting (on the 16th of Oct.), or of the hare-hunting (on the 26th), down to the verge of Hallowe'en. Happily our sport ing M.P.'s are not threatened with these reiterated sacrifices upon the altar of patriotism— the ground has been cleared, if not for the destruc tion of grouse, at any rate for that of partridge and pheasant, of fox and hare, by the opportune slaughter in the very nick—now by wholesale, now by retail —of those big and little Innocents. No Reform Bill passed, according to promise, through Lords and Commons into a more or less substantial enact ment ! No redistribution of electoral districts — (one of the first reforms in the system of popular representation required)—even attempted ! No extension of the franchise, wide or narrow, in borough or in county, anywhere accomplished ! The Government Reform Bill—not even defeated, not even rejected, not even emasculated by a fac tious Opposition ! The Reform Bill voluntarily withdrawn by its introducer, Lord JOHN RUSSELL—or rather let us say his three Reform Bills withdrawn in succession, one first and two afterwards ! The Church-rates still untouched. The Criminal Laws still unrevised. The pet legal reform of the first law officer of the Crown, the comprehensive and profoundly deliberated re-ad justment of the laws relating to Bankruptcy and Insolvency dropped as deplorably, withdrawn as summarily by Sir RICHARD BETHELL as the Re form Bills for England, and Ireland, and Scotland had been previously dropped or withdrawn by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. And strange to re late in neither instance can the ori- ginators of these two important and now abandoned measures be held responsible for their most tantalising withdrawal. The responsi bility devolves upon others than upon the noble lord the member for the city of London, or the learned knight the member for the borough of Wolverhampton. Upon whom if not upon their right hon. colleague the Chancellor of the Exche quer and his ex-official henchmen across the Chan nel and below the Gangway—the silent member for Rochdale and the eloquent member for Birming- ham ? It is idle to cast the blame of wasted sit tings upon the prolonged and reiterated criti cisms (upon Ministers and their supporters) indulged in by the right hon. gentleman the representative (?) of the Stroud constituency. Who gave Mr. HORSMAN his frequent opportunities —who but the small political clique, the members of which, by driving a favourite crotchet of theirs to death—bon gre anal gre, per fas et nsefas—have rendered futile all the conscientious efforts made by other and larger minded statesmen, the strenu ous but ineffectual efforts of a BETHELL for Legal Reform, and of a RUSSELL for the further reform of the lower House of Parliament? The firm that have been all these five or six months last past been driving such a roaring trade yonder, down at Westminster, according to the elegant phraseology of Mr. GEORGE WILSON ex-Chairman of the old Anti-Corn Law League—the enterprising commercial house of the Messrs. GLADSTONE, BRIGHT, COBDEN and Company, have so carried on their business during 1860, that they have "swapped" everything—law reforms, ecclesiastical reforms, sanitary reforms, Parliamentary reforms, even the comparatively patty item of metropolitan reforms—for what? For a Bubble Budget —that was hardly "blown " before it burst. For a Commercial Treaty negotiated in the dark and upon the sly by an unadorned diplo matist (save the mark !)—who has ever since been patching and cobbling away at his botched handicraft in a back office in a back street in one of the back slums of Paris—never having dared once all this session to show his face for a single night in the Rouse of Coinnzons ! For a re imposition of the abhorred Income-Tax in 1560 the very year in which its re-imposer, seven long :sessions ago, predicted its final abandonment—a re imposition of this most detested of all taxes by Mr. GLADSTONE tuneof of all men, in this year of all others , to the f £1 0 , 000 000 sterling ! Here are our compensations. We have sat down as hungry WIE:=2, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUR' 8, 1860. as SANCHO PANZA to our legislative banquet of , 1860. We are rising up from it in a plight con siderably worse than that of a guest at the feast of Barmecides. It has been to us rather like the fare well entertainment of TimoN of Athens, in the great satiric drama of SHAKSPERE. Mr. HoRSMAN has articulated for us a grace like that of the cynical APEMANTHUS. We have found ourselves drenched withhot water, and have had the empty golden dishes flung at our heads. This is the result of the expir ing session, so far as it affects ourselves. But how will the memory of this past half-year affect us in the eyes of surrounding nations ? Will it not con firm some at least among our Imperial neighbours in the opinion that we must, in a great measure, be a nation of shopkeepers—sacrificing everything, as our chief financier has shown himself willing to do, for the sake of tacking on to the glo rious skirts of Free Trade the wretched little peddling anti•climax of a Reciprocity Treaty—a treaty in effect absurdly so called, seeing that there is in it nothing at all bearing even a sha dow resemblance to reciprocity. lAGO himself might sum up the results of this lamentable session of 1860, as tersely as he did the whole duty of woman—" To suckle fools and chronicle small beer"—adding hereto, as truthfully as scornfully -0 most lame and impotent conclusion."

NEWS The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, AUG. 8. The 21Ioniteur of to•day gives an account of the review of the troops who are to leave for Syria. The Emperor addressed the troops as follows :—" Sol diers ! you leave for Syria. France hails with joy an expedition the whole aim of which is to cause the rights of justice and humanity to triumph. You do not go to make war against any foreign Power, but to assist the Sultan in bring ing back the obedience of his subjects, who are blinded by the fanaticisms of a former century. On that distant land, rich in great re miniscences, fulfil your duty, show yourselves the worthy children of those who once gloriously car ried into that country the banner of Christ. You do not leave in great numbers, but your courage and your prestige will supply the deficiency, be cause wherever the French flag is seen to pass nations know that a great cause precedes it, and a great people follow it." The Moniteur also publishes a decree creating a special cadre of naval lieutenants with fixed resi- dence. BELGRADE, AUG. 7. Prince Milosch has arrived here. Tranquillity prevails in the city. A Conference of the Foreign Consuls, the Pacha and the chiefs of the Police, took place yesterday. Measures have been taken to preserve public order. The Consuls have visited the hospitals where 18 wounded Turks are lying. The wives and children of the Turks have taken refuge in the Citadel. MARSEILLES, AUG. 7. Gen. Goyon disembarked to-day at Marseilles. NAPLES, AUG. 6. The city is tranquil. Government continues the preparations against a ,anding of Garibaldians. There is no other news. PARIS, AUG. 7. The Patric says :—" It is asserted that the Gari baldian volunteers have invested Fort Scylla, in Calabria, opposite Messina." ROME, AUG. 4. The inhabitants of Monteporzio, near Frascati, excited by anonymous proclamations, began to divide the landed property of Prince Borghese. Men, women, and children took part in the distri bution of lots. A detachment of Gendarmerie re-established order. Instructions have been sent to the frontier of Naples to seize all inflammatory addresses, procla- mations, &c. FRANCE. PARIS, AUG. 7. Vice-Admiral Count Bouet•Willaumez has been named Maritime Prefect at Cherbourg, in the room of Rear-Admiral Eabvre, who has been appointed member of the Council of Naval Works. The following letter from Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, addressed to M. Bertani, of Genoa, is published in the Diritto : _ _ " Sir,—Twice honoured by the popular suffrages of my heroic Corsica, I think it my duty to protest against an assertion of the Illovimento of Genoa and other journals that a certain Gricelli, who has been very properly expelled from Sicily, is an ex officcr. No, sir, this Gricelli has never been an officer. I know him. He is an ex-police spy, and if he meditated anything against Italy and her noble champion, I disavow him as a Corsican, and I do not fear to be contradicted by my excellent fellow. citizens. Corsica, Italian in language and manners, is French by duty, by choice, and by fra ternity in glory. The laurels she prizes most are those which her children gathered at Magenta and Solferino. Margaeci, the first who fell at Monte bello, was a Corsican. In the eyes of Corsicans, Garibaldi is a Sampiero, a national hero, dear in triumph, dearer still in adversity, who loves arms and liberty. He is sacred, and the Corsicans would wish to see a thousand vendette against the man who should pluck a hair from his head, which is surrounded by a halo of patriotic love and of Italian hopes. Such are our true sentiments. I affirm that to you, as the worthy representative of the brave man whom I count with pride among the Italian friends of Charles Bonaparte and Cencio Valen tine of dear, illustrious, and glorious memory.

The following is Prince Gortschakoff's circular to ;he Russian diplomatic agents abroad on the sub ect of Turkey : " St. Petersburg, April 23, 1860. " The situation of the Christian provinces sub ject to the domination of the Porte could not have escaped the notice of the great European powers. The Imperial Cabinet has considered it necessary to devote the more attention to it that the reports which reach it from those provinces, and particu larly from Bosnia, the Herzegovine, and Bulgaria, draw an afflicting picture of the situation of those countries. "We considered it our duty to prevent as much as possible the eventualities which such a state of things might produce in the general situation of the East. We called the attention of the Turkish Ministers to all the facts which came to our know ledge, and pointed out the necessity of applying a remedy to them. We received from them promises and assurances which, up to the present time, have been without result. We have at the same time constantly recommended the Christians not to ex pose themselves to the danger of aggravating their position by any violent resolutions, but to wait patiently for the possible improvement of their condition. "These measures have perhaps contributed to delay the explosion which everything seemed to prognosticate. Nevertheless they could not be effectual, except something were done to alleviate the sufferipgs of those people, or at least to give them some hopes of relief, and thus prevent them being driven to desperation. "Such has not been the case; all the accounts which reach us state that excesses of all kinds con- stantly tend to keep up agitation in those countries, and that the evil had attained its utmost limit. " Under those circumstances the Imperial Cabi net fears that representations addressed isolatedly to the Turkish Government would remain without effect, and that the exhortations addressed to the Christians to be resigned would not be sufficient to prevent a conflict. " We can fully appreciate the difficulties against which the Porte has to struggle, and we have no doubt of its good intentions. But if, after the pro mises made to Europe in 1856, things have now come to this point, it is evident that they must be attributed either to the weakness and to a culpable indulgence on the part of the Ottoman Government, or to the inconveniences inherent to the situation created for the Christian provinces under Turkish rule. " However this may be, we are convinced that such a state of things cannot continue without shortly leading to a crisis dangerous for the repose of the East, the existence of the Ottoman Govern ment, and consequently for the general interests of Europe. "Persuaded that the other great Powers cannot, more than ourselves, remain indifferent to those serious eventualities, we think that an intervention exercised collectively at Constantinople, by all the Cabinets interested in the tranquillity of Turkey, is alone calculated to ward off the threatened events. " For this purpose, and wishing to establish as complete an understanding as possible, I by order of the Emperor assembled round me the representa tives of England, Austria, France, and Prussia. I pointed out to them the danger of a crisis, the ur gency of preventing it, and the means which we thought the best calculated to effect this object. I requested them to make the necessary communica tions to their Governments, and to unite in the steps we proposed to take. "Wishing to fix on some determinate bases for these proceedings, the representatives, under the reserve of the sanction of their respective Courts, agreed with me on the following points : " 1. An immediate declaration on the part of the five great Powers that they could no longer tole rate the present state of things in the Christian provinces of the Ottoman empire. " 2. A demand for an organisation, having for object to give to the Christian provinces of the Porte effectual guarantees calculated to satisfy the legitimate complaints of the people, and at the same time to tranquillise Europe with regard to the pos sibility of complications which affected her general interests as well as those of Turkey. " The Court at which you are accredited will be informed direct by its representative at St. Peters burg of the conference which has taken place on this subject. You are authorised to declare by order of our august master, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that, as far as we are concerned, we hold completely to the above-mentioned bases, and that, consequently, we are ready to send the necesssary instructions to our representative at Constanti nople. " Be kind enough, however, to add that, without wishing to encroach on the resolutions of the Cabinet of . we feel the fullest conviction that this measure offers the only hope of prevent ing, if it be even possible, complications which might seriously threaten the peace of the East and the security of Europe, and that the only means of checking the explosion is to act collectively, promptly, and energetically, for the moment fast approaches when any hesitation and any scruples may lead to the most disastrous consequences.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz close their visit to Lady Marian Alford, at Ashridgs Castle, Herts, to-day, and pro ceed to Becket House, Berks, to honour Viscount and Vis countess Barrington by a visit of several days. The Earl and Countess of Craven have left Charles street for Ashdowne Park, Berks. The Earl and Countess Delawarr entertained a select circle at dinner last evening at their residence in Upper Grosvenor-street. The Earl and Countess of Cork have left town for their seat, Marston House, Somersetshire. The Earl and Countess of Durham have left town to pass a few weeks at Weymouth. The Countess Cowper and Ladies Cowper have left their mansion in St. James's square fer Panshanger, Herts. The Countess Alphonse de la Marmora and the Misses Bertie Mathews have left Farrance's Hotel for War wick.

Viscount and Viscountess Sydney have returned to Cleveland-square from visiting the Earl of Sandwich at liinchin gbrook • Lord - and Lady Worsley have left Portman square for the Continent. Lord Ravensworth and family have left Fulham for Ravensworth Castle, Durham. Lord Brougham has left Grafton-street for Brougham Hall, his seat in Westmoreland.

OXFORD, August s.—Mr. Ralph T. H. Griffith, formerly of Qucen's College, Boden Sanscrit scholar, and now Anglo-Sanscrit professor at Benares and inspector of schools in the Benares circle, has announced himself as a candidate for the vacant professorship of Sanscrit. The directors of the Theatre Francais are abou, to revive the comedy in five acts and in verse, by Voltaire entitled " The Indiscreet," which was acted six times in August, 1725, and has lain by ever since. It is stated that the Emperor Napoleon proposes to organise a fourth regiment of Zouaves, to reduce the number of battalions of Chasseurs de Vincennes to ten, to convert the four regiments of Marines into seven regiments of the Line, and to increase the number of regiments from 102 to 110. Colonel Turr, who, during his stay in Paris, is said to have had several interviews with Kossuth and Klapka, left on Friday afternoon. The story goes that, on quitting some friends who accompanied him to the railway terminus, he told them if they had occasion to write to him they might address their letters " Post-office, Naples," where he expected to arrive on the 17th inst. The 3lonitezer de la Flotte states as follows the numbers of ships of war of various nations now at Naples : —Five English and five French ships of the line, Admiral Mundy and Tinan ; one Russian ship of the line, an Ame rican corvette, an Austrian frigate and aviso, and a Spanish corvette and aviso ; at Messina the frigates Scylla (Eng lish), Descartes (French), Dondolo (Austrian), and a Sar dinian steam despatch boat; at Palermo an English steam frigate, a small French steamer, and the Sardinian steam frigate Carlo Alberto, bearing the flag of Admiral Persano. The same authority states the Neapolitan navy, divided between Naples, Messina, and the. Straits, at 16 steam frigates and corvettes and 18 steam avisos, besides 16 sailing vessels and 50 gunboats. ' Nothing has arrived as yet to confirm the tele• graphic despatch announcing the landing of 1,500 Gari baldians in Calabria. The Opinione Nationale, however, declares that the intelligence is true, that the body in ques • tion is under the command of Stocco, one of Garibaldi's lieutenants, and that it has reason to believe that the place of landing for the Dictator himself will be Caserta, not far from Naples. It adds that two of the King's regiments— the Ist and 13th—had revolted at Naples to the cry of " Viva Garibaldi !" WESTMINSTER PALACE HOTEL.—A ease has just been decided which perhaps affords the only instance of a suit in Chancery having gone through all the courts and received a judgment of the House of Lords within three months. It is that of the Westminster Palace Hotel Com pany. In the year 1857 this company was formed for the purpose, as stated in its memorandum of association, "of establishing an hotel, carrying on the usual business of an hotel and tavern, and doing all such things as were inci dental or otherwise conducive to the attainment of the above objects." Having almost completed their building, and having spent nearly all their capital, they thought it prudent to let a portion, consisting of nearly half of the premises, to the India Board for three years, with option to make it five, at a rent of £6,000 per annum, about 12 per cent. on the money expended, retaining, for the pur pose of casual custom, the remainder of the building, such remainder being larger than the Great 'Western Hotel. A shareholder, however, objected, and filed a bill in the Court of Chancery to restrain the corn pony from carrying out the agreement. This was on the 17th of May last. The suit was heard on the 31st of May by Vice-Chancellor Wood, who decided that the agreement was within the powers of the company, and was binding. The plaintiff appealed to the Lords Justices, who on the 11th of June heard the appeal, and, Lord Justice Knight Bruce agreeing with Vice-Chancellor Wood, the judgment was confirmed. The plaintiff then appealed to the House of Lords, and the appeal was heard by their lordships yesterday, when the former judgments were una nimously confirmed. The question involved in the suit was whether a company formed for establishing an hotel on a scale of unusual magnitude might not let part of it for a short time in a manner to establish a connection, and otherwise exercise a discretion in the mode and manner of commencing its business, and the result is that the power to do so has been definitively affirmed. THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST. The weather has been very unsettled since our last. In addi tion to the continued absence of sunshine, which, with the exception of an occasional few hours' outbreak, h,s so sin gularly marked the present year, some heavy rains have fallen. Still on the whole the weather has been moderately fine, and, so far as the grain crops are concerned, an un questionable improvement has taken place. Indeed, it, has been a matter of common remark, and scarcely less of surprise, that despite the absence of sun and of tempera ture appropriate to the present period, the grain crops have made considerable and marked progress of late. From personal observation and inquiry over a pretty wide stretch of country during the past fortnight, embracing not only this district, bat portions of the counties of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Norfolk, Sufiolk, Cambridge shire, and Essex, we are enabled to give a very favourable report of the general promise of the grain crops. Sun is of course greatly desired to ripen the grain, but notwith standkag its absence, or rather its only partial presence, the crops are unmistakably changing colour and assuming a golden hue. We are sorry to add that a considerable quantity of grass still remains on the ground, and a good deal has suffered from standing too long as well as from the wetness of the season. During the last forty-eight hours the weather has become more unfavourable than in fir: early part of last week, and heavy rains fell on Sunday night and Monday morning, accompanied with boiste rous winds. Warm, dry weathr, is now looked for with no little anxiety. Should that ensue shortly, we trust we may yet calculate upon a favourable harvest, both as to quality arid quantity.—sussw Advertiser.

It was stated during the proceedings that the naval volunteer movement had hitherto proved a complete failure on account of the want of confidence felt by the sea men in the regulations of the force, as they thought they were too much akin to those of the Royal Navy ; and that the best means of removing this doubt from the minds of the merchant seamen was to appoint captains and officers of the mercantile marine to commissions and appropriate rank in the Naval Reserve. VicromA PRESS.—We understand that her Ma jesty has graciously signified to Miss Emily Faithfull her approval of the establishment of the Vict9ria Press at 9, Great Coram-street, for the employment of female compo sitors, adding that all such useful and practical steps for opening new branches of industry to educated women must meet with her entire approbation. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A dread ful crime has just been committed in the town of Draguig nan, in the Var. A young shoemaker, named Goin, mar ried last year a very young female, daughter of a respect able tradesman ; but he ill-treated her so much, that she, though enceinte, was obliged to leave him and return to her parents. He went to live at Avig no n , and several times wrote to order her to join him in that place, but she refused. About a fortnight ago he returned to Draguig nan, and as she persisted in her determination not to live with him, he uttered terrible threats against her. Four days ago he bought three pistols and some gunpowder and ball; and in the evening, happening to meet his wife and her mother on the esplanade, he uses abusive language towards both, to which they replied angrily. The two women then returned home, and seated themselves with some neighbours at the door. Shortly after the man came up, and without saying a word fired one pistol at his wife, another at her mother, and the third beneath his own chin. The mother was not struck, the man himself received only a slight wound, but the youne, woman was wounded in the breast so deeply that it has not b been possible to extract the ball. She lies in a dano - erous state, and the gravity of her situation is increased by'her being on the eve of childbirth. As to the man, he was at once taken in to custod y b y some police officers, who happened to come up just as he fired. WIPE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. —On the Bth June a man and wife named Gallagher, who had been living separate, met and went into a friend's house, when a previous quarrel was renewed, which resulted in the man, Thomas Gallagher, taking up a bread knife and inflicting severe wounds on different parts of the body of his wife. She was removed to the Infimary, where she died from the effects of the wounds. At the inquest on the body of the deceased yesterday the coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" ac,ainst Thomas Gallagher, who was accordingly committed to the assizes, THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. Letters from Palermo, in the Nazione of Florence, state that Bourbonist intrigues are going on in the former capital, and that the procession del Carmine has been in consequence prohibited by the Government, in order to prevent disturb ances. On the 31st ult. several persons were arrested, including a functionary of the financial department, who was taken in the fact of exciting the citizens to arm and overthrow the existing Go vernment. Patrols of the National Guard and Carbineers are constantly marching through the streets, and have already arrested several instiga tors to disorder. The opinion in favour of imme diate annexation is gaining ground daily in Sicily, notwithstanding the efforts of the Mazzinian press. The Central Committee at Naples, which con tinues its secret sittings, mysteriously distributed to the army last week the following proclamation, dated 29th July : "If you are told that the Government has been generous in granting the statuto, and that it is sincere in maintaining it, answer that the perma nence of the foreign corps is a manifest violation of the csnstitution, which they have made you swear to observe. Admitting that we may have to pro ceed to the election of deputies, can it be done under the menace of foreign bayonets? The Government declares itself favourable to the war of Italian in dependence, but can it, when keeping foreigners in the service, love the nation ? The Government says it respects the army, but can it respect you when it has no confidence in you ? And do you not see that it dishonours you, and makes you perjure yourselves by calling on you to swear to what it purposes maintaining by the help of foreign troops ? The only way, therefore, fellow-citizens, is to take your resolution at once, and set yourselves right with the people, who are anxious to escape from the present state of uncertainty, and will do so ere long. General Garibaldi has affirmed that you are brave, that he will lead you to glory, and secure your wellbeing. Take courage and join the peo ple ; let us sweep away the foreigners who suck our blood, and we shall then all be free sons of our beloved country. "THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE." A correspondent, writing from Naples, states that on the 31st ult. a rumour prevailed in that city of the landing of a body of Garibaldi's troops on the coast of Calabria. Letters from Sicily spoke of provisions being excessively dear, so much so as to remind one of a time of scarcity. A duty on salt, imposed by the Dictator's Government, was said to be exceedingly unpopular. The King of Naples has just given his uncle, the Count de Trapani, a striking mark of confidence—having made him Colonel-General-Inspector-Commander of the Royal Guard, a post which has been vacant since the death of the Prince of Palermo ten years ago, and which the late King was about to confer on his son the present sovereign, when death cut short his career. The is the highest in the Neapoli tan army. A letter from Naples of the Ist, in the Debats, says :-- " We are in the midst of an armed truce, and ad vantage is taken of it to complete our warlike pre parations. The King, to use his own expression, has thrown himself into the arms of God,' and he confines hims e lf t o oppos i ng a res i s t ance f u ll o f sus picions or foolish inertness to the Ministry, or rather to a Minister who would wish him so to act as to insure his own safety. The Queen-Mother, who is at Gaeta, surrounded by all the chiefs of the reaction, and is the head of the absolutist monar chical party, is preparing throughout the kingdom, and principally at Naples, a general rising in order to instal on the Throne her son, the Count de Trani, and sweep away the constitution and the Liberals. In the midst of such political difficulties, there is a serious question of coming to a resolution on the project for establishing a network of railways ex tending over the whole kingdom--that is to say, a line from Naples to Brindisi, another which, by Salerno and Basilicata, will place in communica tion the two seas at Toronto, a line for the Abruzze, going to Rome, and branches for Calabria. It is calculated that the cost will be 450,000,000 fr., and it is proposed that they shall be completed in four years. The municipalities are slowly preparing the electoral lists ; the Minister of the Interior presses them to be more active, but they are checked by fear of the reaction. The clergy of Naples, headed by the Archbishop, are spreading all sorts of rumours in order to alarm the population, who, however, are much more liberal than had been believed. A per sonage so high placed as to be well informed says, that the following are pretty nearly the terms of the reply of Garibaldi to the letter of the King of Sar dinia :---‘ Sire, I thank your Majesty for the honour you have done me in sending me a letter. I receive with respect the counsels of your Majesty, and I re serve to myself to reply categorically to them from Rome.' M. Manna writes in great discouragement from Turin—at least to his friends ; it appears, from what he says, that the envoys of Francis 11. will return without having concluded anything." Another letter from Naples, of the same date, contains the following : " The conquered of Milazzo, after their return to the fort of that place, raised shouts of Vive Garibaldi !' The King of Naples, notwithstanding all that has passed, continues to use the old for mula at the head of his decrees : Francis 11. by the grace of God, King of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, &c. ; Duke of Parma, Piacenza, Castro, &c., &c. ; Hereditary Grand Prince of Tuscany, &c.' Is it not ludicrous ? The steamer of the Messageries Imperiales, which arrived yesterday, brought more of the old exiles ; among them was M. Petrucelli de la Gattina, mem ber of the Neapolitan Parliament in 1848. With the exception of Poerio, who is coming soon, and Settembrini, and Dragonetti—who are also ex pected—l think all the surviving victims of the Bourbon Kings have returned to their country. The Government, as if it seriously believed in the working of the new institutions, is preparing a place for the sittings of the national representa tives. The site chosen for the new edifice, which is constructed of iron, wood, and glass, is the Largo Spiriti Santo, or, more properly, the Fosse del Grano." THE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL IN BDIN BURGH. EDINBURGH, TUESDAY, 9 A.M. The Queen arrived in Edinburgh this morning at a few minutes past 8 o'clock. As this is the day appointed for the review of the Volunteers in Scot land in Holyrood Park, to the number of above 20,000 men, there was an immense assemblage awaiting her arrival. The morning is dull and somewhat chilly, but gives promise of a beautiful, or at least a favourable day for the grand display. The " Queen's Drive," from the station to the Palace, was kept by the 13th Light Dragoons, from Piershill, who were posted at either end, and by the 78th Highlanders, from the Castle, and the Ist battery of the 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, from Leith Fort, carrying with them their new battery of Armstrong guns. The spectators massed them selves on either side of the military cordon which protected the drive, and great numbers of them were gathered on the slopes of the hill, which is to form the great amphitheatre for the day's spectacle, The military took up their posts in the Park at 7 o'clock, and from 6 o'clock till 8 there was a cease less tide of spectators flowing into the Park. On the summit of Arthur's Seat waved " the ruddy lion ramp't in gold," and other preparations for commemorating the great event of the day were to be seen in the infinite variety and profuse display of flags hung from the steeples of the city churches, the facades of the public buildings, and from the tops and windows of private dwellings, and in the splendid floral decorations that everywhere met the eye. St. Margaret's station was, as usual, neatly fitted up for the Queen's arrival with carpet of the green Stuart tartan and a mat of heather, on which to alight on Scottish ground, the sides of the staircase and awning being decorated with flowers. Within the station was a splendid assemblage of General officers, including Lieutenant-General Sir G. A. Wetherall, Major-General Lord Rokeby, Major- General Scarlett, Adjutant-General; Major-Gene ral Sir Richard Airey, Major-General Cameron, commanding in North Britain ; the Duke of Buc clench, in his uniform of lord lieutenant of the county ; Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Douglas, Captain Jeffery, R,N., the Lord Provost of the city, the Sheriff of Midlothian, Captain J. R. Johnstone, Lanarkshire Engineers ; Col. Kinloch, her Ma jesty's Inspector of Police ; Messrs. Sprott, Kinloch, Bowman, and other directors of the North British Railway, and a considerable number of ladies. The royal train was telegraphed from Dunbar at 7 27 a.m., and from Inveresk at 7 53, and came into the station at a minute or two past 8, seven or eight minutes in advance of the time table. As the train drew up the signal was given, and a royal salute was immediately fired from the batteries of the castle. As her Majesty left the State carriage she was saluted by all the general officers and others present. The Queen was accompanied by the Prince Consort, Prince Arthur, the Princesses Alice, Louisa, Helena, and the members of the Court. In attendance on her Majesty were the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Secretary of State for War; Col. Sir C. Phipps, K.C.8., Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, the Countess of Desart, Lady-in-Waiting ; the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Maid of Honour; Lieu tenant-Colonel de Ros, Life Guards, Equerry to the Prince Consort; and Major Elphinstone, tutor to Prince Arthur, &c. The royal party having ascended the staircase, entered a procession of open carriages and four, which were in waiting to convey them to Holy rood. An escort of the 13th Light Dragoons was in attendance, and also the band of the regiment, which played the royal anthem. As her Majesty drove at an easy pace through the park, she was loudly cheered by the multitudes on the ground. Her Majesty reached Holyrood Palace at about 20 minutes past 8. A detachment of the 78th Highlanders, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Lockhart, was drawn up in front as a guard of honour, and the band of the regiment played the Royal Anthem as her Majesty entered the Palace. The beautiful fountain in front of the Palace was put into play for the occasion. The run from London to Edinburgh was as usual under the personal s uperintendence of Mr. Seymour Clarke, general manager of the Great Northern Railway, who received at St. Margaret's, through Sir Charles Phipps, the acknowledgments of the Queen for the admirable regularity preserved throughout the journey. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW. EDINBURGH, TUESDAY EVENING The great review by the Queen of the Scottish Volunteers in Holyrood Park this day has passed off with the utmost success. The weather was dull in the morning and showery about noon, but after two the day was fine, with warm sunshine and a light breeze from the west, and, excepting immense clouds of dust that swept over the review ground, there was nothing to mar the comfort of those en gaged. It was half-past three before the entire line was formed, nearly three-fourths of the Volunteers having had to make the journey from home that morning, and, owing to the immense pressure on the railways, several of the arrivals were very late, It is believed that the Volunteers under arms conside rably exceeded the returns previously made, and numbered from 21,000 to 22,000 men, besides from 2,000 to 3,000 that were present as spectators, the latter including numerous men of the London Scot tish. Her Majesty left Holyrood at half-past three, attended by a most brilliant retinue. The Duchess of Kent, at present residing at Cramond e" with The Prince occupied the carriage with her Majesty,along Princess Alice and Prince Arthu r. house, Consort and the Duke of Buccleu ch rode on either side of the carriage. In a tt e ndance on her Majesty were Generals Scarlett, Airey, and C. Grey, the Marquis of Tweedale, and other military officers, of high rank ; and in th e suite were observed Mr. Sidney Herbert, the Earl of Weinyss, the Marquis of Stafford, M.P., Lord Polworth, Lord Belhaven, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, &c. The Marquis of Breadalbane, the Earl of Rosslyn, and other noble men were in the ranks of the Volunteers, and Lord Elcho, in the uniform of the London Scottish, was also upon the field. Behind the saluting flag was a splendidly decorated gallery, containing about 4,000 spectators ; but it was upon the hills opposite that the great concourse took place, The vast and varied t~ ~~ .. gathering coultinot be estimated at less than 200,000 persons. The Volunteer army was commanded in chief by General Sir George Wetherall, and thetwo divisions respectively by Lord Rokeby and General Cameron. There were about 150 different corps on the ground, marshalled into 35 battalions—one of Mounted Rifles, six of Artillery, one of Engineers, and 27 of Rifles. There was the utmost variety of uniform, from dark gray—which a large proportion of the earliest formed corps, including the Edin burgh battalions, had adopted—to the light gray, approved by Government, and in which many of the more recently formed corps were clothed. The marching past of this immense body of Volunteers occupied exactly an hour and 20 minutes, having commenced at 4 o'clock. Towards the close and throughout the passing of the second division, the clouds of dust continued to increase, and 'to a consi derable extent marred the beauty of the display. The marching past being conclUded, a lengthened pause took place, during which the whole line was put in order to advance. At length General Wetherall gave the command, which was repeated by the commanders throughout the line, and com municated still more instantaneously by the sound of the bugle. The whole army then simultaneously moved forward until the bugle called a halt. The officers then saluted with their swords and the whole line presented arms. The final command given was three cheers for the Queen, and instan taneously was the command responded to and echoed from one end of the line to the other. The cheer, which was caught up with still louder acclamation by the spectators on the hill side, was tremendous and overpowering, and continued almost without intermission for several minutes. At a quarter be fore 6 her Majesty left the ground, followed by the renewed acclamations of the entire multitude. The following shows the total number of officers and men of the various corps that were to be re viewed by her Majesty yesterday, according to the returns published by Colonel M‘Murdo, Inspector- General of Volunteers : FIRST DIVISION.
