By his systematic management an immense mitigation of ' pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

Yesterday the committee appointed to inquire into the petition of Mr. Hugh Childers, complain ing of the conduct of the sitting member, Mr. Over end, relative to the withdrawal of the petition against his return, resumed their labours in Com mittee-room No. 17. Mr. Walpole was in the chair, and the other members of the committee Mr. Glyn, Lord R. Clinton, Captain Jervis, Craufurd, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Selwyn,—were all present. Mr. Leeman, who was examined on the previous day (Wednesday), said he wished to add to the evi dence which he thedgave. The witness entered into a long detail of various circumstances more or less connected with the election. Mr. Childers then proceeded to confirm generally the evidence given by Mr. Leeman. He added that he should never have consented to withdraw the petition, except upon the. understanding that the question of the, seat was to be referred to arbitra tion. If he had ever believed that the seat was not to be referred he should immediately have in• strutted Mr. Leeman to decline to sign any agree ment. The first information he received of any difficulty came from Pon:efract. He was in formed that Mr. Cariss had stated at the Leeds Club-house that the seat was not in question, but that the petition was withdrawn uncondi tionally. He subsequently saw Mr. Cariss, who said, on the subject being mentioned to him, -" Oh, I was only chaffiing ; I wasn't going to let them know what we were doing." Subsequently he saw Mr. Rose, who, after some coversation, said the seat had never been in question at all. He imme diately took Mr. Rose to Mr. Leeman to talk the matter over, as up to that time he had never heard a word from Mr. Rose or anybody connected with Mr. Overend that the seat was not included in the reference. When Mr. Rose went to Mr. Leeman witness offered to golor Mr. Baxter. Ultimately he did so, and met him in the street. He took him to Mr. Leeman at Fendall's Hotel, having previ ously told him that, as it was a case in which the honour of several gentlemen was concerned, he simply wished him to hear a statement without requiring him to express any opinion. On the mornings of Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2d and 3d of August, the whole case was gone into between Mr Rose and Mr. Leeman., Upon one of these occasions Mr. Rose admitted. that Mr. Spofforth had stated to Min the conversation which he had with Mr. , Leeman as to the reference of the seat. Mr. Rose also stated that he had written to Mr. Overend characterising the agreement as "illusory" The Chairman - asked Mr. Childers if Mr. Rose said that he had simply.written to say the agree ment was illusory, or that he considered that the agreement was illusory ? Mr. Childers said Mr. Rose expressed no decided opinion of his own, but merely implied that he had made such a representation to Mr. Overend. Wit ness then confirmed Mr. Leeman's evidence as to the interview with Lord March. He added that up to the time he went to fetch Mr. Brand, Mr. Over end had most distinctly refused to refer the seat to Lord March, when Mr. Brand could not be found. Lord March said, "What am Itodo ?" Some con versation ensued; and Lord March again said, " What can Ido ?" Mr. Leeman said, " Well my lord, we withdraw the reference." Mr. Rose at once interposed, and said, "-As my honour is at stake ' I should, wish the inquiry to go on ;" where upon Mr. Overend said, " I think so too. I consent that Lord March shall decide upon the prelimi nary inquiry." Mr. Leeman rejoined, "It is now too late." Mr. Wilkinson, London agent of Mr. Childers, was then called. After corroborating the evidence of Mr. Leeman in reference to various interviews between the different parties, he proceeded to say —I was at Fendall's Hotel when the agreements were exchanged, and I recollect Mr. Childers mak ing an observation in reference to the issue of a new writ. He said he thought the writ ought to be issued as early as possible, so that he might be returned and take his seat this session. I said, " The session is now nearly at an end, and it does not matter whether you take you seat or not, so long as you are returned." Both Mr. Rose and Mr. Spofforth were present, but they nude no com ment. Mr. Leeman said to Mr. Rose, " What I propose to do is to open my brief to you, and go into each case as it arises. We shall have no diffi culty, and in a very little time we shall be able to clear the ground so as to leave a very narrow ques tion for the decision of Lord March." A conversa tion then took place as to Mr. Rose's engagements. Mr. Spofforth • said that if Mr. Rose could not at tend it would be necessary to employ counsel. I said, if we have counsel, we shall incur the expense we are so anxious to avoid. The subject then drop ped.

Mr. Leeman attempted to open the re ference, when Mr. Overend at once interposed. There was a good deal of discussion, lklr. Overend endeavouring to prevent our going into the ques tion, and Lord March began to feel more distinctly the position in which he might be placed in a matter involving the jurisdiction of a committee of the house. Mr. Leeman was very indignant at not being allowed to state the main case: If the seat were:not in question we had nothing to do there. In the course of his observations Mr. Leeman made some remarks which evidently hurt Mr. Rose, and almost electrified him, for he jumped up from his seat and moved away to another one, saying that he hoped Lord March would not attend to anything of that kind. This being the whole of the evidence on the part of the petitioner, Mr. Rose was then examined by Mr. Baxter, and in detail gavo a ;succinct ;statement of what had taken place between himself and Mr • Leeman relative to the agreement for the ar bitration of Lord March, and said he most distinctly under stood throughout that the question as to the seat was not included in the reference, and he had told Mr. Overend so, and was always under that im pression; he assured the committee he had acted in full belief that such was the case. Mr. Cariss was called, and spoke to what took place betwee n hi m an d M r . Wilkinson at Ponte fract. Mr. Overend was then examined. He repeated in substance his statement before the house on Wednesday, and stated that he had given the most Positive and distinct instructions to Mr. Carissthat he would consent to no agreement of reference as a condition for the withdrawal of the petition that would leave the question as to the seat open. He had from the first the fullest determination not to do so, and always understood it formed no part of the agreement. When before Lord March, Mr. Leeman argued the question of his going into the reference as 'to the seat, and he was followed by Mr. Rose, insisting that the question of the seat was to form no part of the reference. His first op position was to the reading of Mr- Rose's letter; but as he found it affected the male fides of Mr. Rose, he withdrew his opposition, and had done so two hours before; but he declined to assent to going into the question of the seat. Lord March said he be lieved there was bona fides on both &des, and it was difficult to determine. Mr. Cariss had written down what Lord March had said, when Lord March said he had decided nothing, and the paper should be torn up, which he (Mr. Overend) did at once. Mr. Leeman then withdrew from the inquiry. He told him that he had consented to the preliminary in quiry being gone into two hours before, but Mr. Leeman said it was too late. Mr. Leemcn after wards spoke, to him in the lobby, and said the matter should not stop there, and that he (Mr. Overend) had better be in his place in the house that night. He requested him not to tease him, as he had enough of it. Cross-examined by Mr. Leeman—Was positive HULL. The committee reassembled yesterday ,• Mr. . 4. . - Puller in. the ,chair. At 26 minutes past five o'clock the case was closed, and the room cleared. After the committee had remained in deliberation three hours and a half, at 10 minutes to Hine o'clock the doors were opened and strangers were readmitted. The CHAIRMAN said,—The committee have Rna nimously came to the following resolutions : " 1. That Joseph Hoare, Esq.', is not duly elected to serve as a burgess in this present Parliament for the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull. " 2. That the last election for the said borough as far as regards the return of the. said Joseph Hoare, Esq., is a void election. . " 3. That it has been proved before the committee that at the last election of the said borough as many as 487 persons were employed on behalf of Joseph Hoare, Esq., and that 493 persons were employed on behalf of Messrs. Clay and Lewis as messengers, canvassers, booth clerks and check clerks. " 4. That of the persons so employed on the behalf of Joseph Hoare, Esq., more than 300 appear to have been voters of the said borough, and to have received from the agent of the said Joseph Hoare, Esq., in respect of such employment, sums varying in amount from 2s. 6d. to £3 ss. " 5. That amen.. the voters so employed were the follow ing persons, to whom the .several sums were paid which ar e set opposite to their nanite:NA - The names 0f.25 ,voters are then given, one of whom received 2s. 6d. ; one, ss. ; one, 7s. ; two, 10s. 6d. ; 'one, 14s: ' • five, 15s. ; three, 15 s . 6d. ; t wo , £1 2s. 6d. ; one, £1 ; one, £1 9s. 6d. ; three, £1 10s. ; one, £l.lls. 6d. ; one, £1 16s. 6d.; one, £2 3s. 6d. ; and one, £2 10s. 6d. . ," 6. That some of the said voters were allowed to con tinue at their usual work during all the time of their em ployment, and to come only at their, dinner hour and in the evening,. but, nevertheless, were paid at the same rate as those who had attended all day; that some were so old and infirm as to be incapable of rendering any efficient service ; that some were paid for a greater number of days than that for which they were engaged, and for a greater number of hours than 'they were employed or in attendance, while none appeared to have rendered any service for the money they received. "7. That it does not appear to the committee that any such acts of bribery were committed by or with the know ledge or consent'of the said Joseph Hoare, Esq., who showed great anxiety to check any illegal proceedings in respect to the said election. "8. The committee' 'desire to call the attention of the house to the circumstance that Mr. William Henry Moses, the election auditor for the borough of Hull, appeared as agent for the petitioners, and that he took an active part in support of the petition, and that it appears to the commit tee that such a course of proceeding is open to grave objec tion." The, proceedings then terminated. TII2 ITALIAN CONFEDERATION. There are three points of view from which the proposed scheme of an Italian Confederation may be regarded, and all three have their strong, though separate, claims on the attention of an English statesman. The first thoughts of an Enghill poli tician will naturally be directed to its influence on his own comntry, his Second will be employed in determining its effects on Italy, whilst a third, and equally interesting train of speculation will arise on the important changes which an Italian Confe deration must introduce into the whole relations of the European political system. We have already, in referrieg to Lord Elcho's motion, had occasion to examine the last of these three top'cs ; the last is but too likely to become the theme of many a future criticism and comment ; but the examination will scarcely be considered as premature which, with reference to the second—to purely Italirn interests —to those interests which are about to be discussed at Zurich—we now propOse to make. A politician who had no inconsiderable share in the negociatiOns that took place in 1848 for the for mation of an Italian confederacy has favoured us with his views on the Treaty of Villafranca, as con trasted with the federal project of eleven years back. M. Augusto de Gori, who shared the confi dence and assisted at the deli.tderations of Antonio Rosmini, Pellegrino Rossi, and Francesco Bozzelli, and in whose possession he manuscript drafts of their respective proposals still remain, has every right to demand an attentive hearing. His argu ments reproduce the mature convictions of some of the greatest amongt the past statesmen of Italy on the very questions about to be discussed with re ference to its present settlement and to its future destinies. If the Confederation resulting from the peace of Villafrance is to secure and consolidate Italian in dependence, if it is really to foster Italian nationa lity, if'it is to be in good earnest an Italian Con federation, it must comply, if not absolutely, at least ii a far. greater degree than is at present conceivable, with the four following conditions : The States forming it should be as equally balanced in power as possible—these States should be wholly , independent of all foreign subjection—the confe derated Princes should be national in character and sympathies, not fettered by any anti-national bond; and the confederated States should be capable of uniting, in their federal capacity, for all national ends ; they might not to possess such a character as would naturally and necessarily clash with the political interests of the general league. Tried by these tests, in what light must we re gard the position assigned by the Villafranca Treaty to Venice ? It remains attached as a fief to the Austrian Empire, and yet it is to &inn part of the Italian Confederation. As a member of the Con federation it must possess an Italian Government and Italian institutions, and dispose of Italian troops. Of a State thus conceived, a State in the same moment Austrian and Italian, with twelve millions of subjects belonging to the Germanic Con federation, with two millions and a half belonging to the Italian Confederation—of such a political combination, we shall not say that it is good, bad, or indifferent, because we are compelled frankly to declare that it is quite unintelligible. This monstrous contradiction strikes us at the very outset ; but inconsistencies not has insignicant are apparent when we examine the character of the different States and the extent of their populations. The Austrian Empire (or its synon:eme, Venice) is represented by Naples Sardinia Papal States Tuscany . 1,793,967 Mode ..Lodena • Parma .. 604,512 499,835 Inhabitants . 25,751,017 From these numbers it is evident how unequally badholeua There e i i bse, first, the rst differentpower,on e Statesl thei s e States, i n extentof the v comparativelyndp Confederation. o pu la t o in n significant as regards Italy, yet with oveTwhelming power and resistless influence from the fact of its forming part of an Empire with forty trillions of subjects, and an armed force of six hutdred thou sand men. Then there are two States ntarly equal in power —one in the north and the otter in the south of Italy ; and these two States, 'lcause the only two important Italian States, woild exhibit an unceasing antagonism with the viewof obtain ing influence. There would be three States in Central Italy—the three Duchies—whih it would be but charity to regard as the veriest ephers, now oscillating between Sardinia and Napas, or mov ing like mere puppets, as Austria pulled the strings ; and lastly, right in the centreof this Con federation would exist another State.. the Papacy —which, from the spiritual character Df its ruler, must remain, in every great national this, motion less and neutral, displaying necessaril7 a negative power of resistance to all the other Stites without b e ing of the slightest use to any. Such, and so curiously balanced, would be the Stabs of the pro posed Italian Confederation ! The second condition—that of theindependenee of the States of the Confederation firm all foreign pressure—is not realised from the moßent that there is admitted, as one of the Federal Povers, that very Empire which is regarded by all Ral f as its enemy e p on r rt e as s stohi•a; than successfulawn d h e when n u h r hei witty cr ho e se o sd n o t at f e p w o rary was mtionsdaoyf days ago the Emperor i n a Fan n e rg s d fa - renereoceNmpi, Italys jo Joseph p c h hai a n s ed a t e o in V ex en m i . c a e b , le an g d aar. might well sacrifice her territory as ar the Mincio for the compensating advantages of her increased federal authority. Strange to sa3, Austria has effected, after her defeat at Solfcrno, what she vainly tried to effect after the armitice of Milan in 1848—her recognition as a membe: of the Italian Confederation. Her efforts for that purpose were opposed eleven years ago by Naples aid Rome quite as much as by Sardinia; for all the :talian Powers equally felt their independence thr4tened by the risk of her adding to the influence deived from her own power that which mast necessarily 'spring froui her taking part in a federal combination. But the difficulties connected with Venice are comparatively trifling when compared with those arising from the position of the Pope. At the sum mit of this Italian . Confederation 'is plae:".d the Papacy —the authority, as far as it can be diajOined,, not of the Pontiff grasping St. Peter's keys, but of the PrinCe who administers the gift of ConStantine. We say as far as can be disjoined, for the whole difficulty lies in this disjunction. , How can the . Pope, whoSe spiritual interests are cosmopolitan and universal, embrace-and identify hitiaself with. the exclusively national interests of the -Federal. State ? He cannot identify himself with the inte- - rests of one' C a th o li c nat i on i n preference to t h ose , of another ;Catholic nation • he cannot, as- the honorary head of Catholic Italy, become the ally of Catholic France against even Catholic Austria, because all Catholic States, we repeat, equally de mand' his care. . Here, then, we have ,a Confederatio n o f w hi c h one of the memb ers will only exert an influence directly hostile to the others, an influence which the whole Italian nation has been endeavouring to overthrow, whilst another of the members, if not directly hostile to, is at least unable to identify himself with, any purely national cause, simply be cause ; his office embraces all Catholic, nations, and cannot be confined to one. It is a ques'ion which opens ,up political considerations far too momentous to be summarily disposed of, but-we do not hesitate ' to affirm that the element of a Papal presidency in the pl'oposed scheme will either render it altogether nugatory or lead to the necessity of inclUding all Catholic States . as members of this' same Confedera tion.-j-Morning Post. . . Til B SERRENTINE. (From the Zimes.) . The comparison between the two plans for the mrifieation of the Serpentine is that the one has been tried with perfect success and the other, as yet, isj a speculation, from which it would be rash to predict any success at all. The lake in St. James's-park is the admiration of everybody who strays into that paradise of children, nurses, and Life Guardsmen. The water is as free from colour: and from smell as any lake in the country, and nobody would guess that it had been , dbtained by artificial means, except that otherwise it would not be sweet. As you look at the bottom you have the satisfaction of knowing that London dirt can not come in. That is the result of the operation at St. James's. It is safe to last centuries, and it cost but a trifle. It was stated yesterday that the water filtered through the concrete into the sand below, and was pumped up again; and the inference was that the process was illusory. The statement itself is illusory. The water is pumped up, from a bed of clear sand, saturated with water not merely from the lake, but from the whole surrounding area open to the rain. The stratum of sand under St. James's Park communicates with a very exten sive area, and so long as the Th ames fl ows it w ill never to dry.' It is said, indeed, that th e quick sands tinder London are becoming drier- in , the pro cess ofl ages, and St. Paul's is supposed to have set tled soinewhat towards the river in consequence of this change. This would be the natural result of the rain over many thousand acres being inter cepted by houses and pavements, and carried off, straight to the Thames, But we may be quite sure that low beds of sand will always hold water quite Sufficient for the supply of such ponds as those in our parks. But what is the other process defended again last night by Mr. Fitzroy, and now baCked by Mr. StephOnson's formidable, but not infallible, autho rity ? It is to leave the bed of the Serpentine alone, and to 'touch only the water. This is to be drawn by engines from the Knightsbridge end into a se parate (reservoir at the Bayswater end, there fil tered, and returned into the Serpentine. To purify a lake by taking the water out of it, cleaning it, and throwing it back again, has the merit of origi nality,'and we certainly never heard of it before. If it answers, a time must come when the process will be wholly superfluous, for if the Serpentine really has noisources of corruption, its water, once puri fied, will always be pure. But Mr. Fitzroy evi dently does not anticipate this perfect success. His two donkey-engines, the elegance of which will disguiie their base use, are to puff and bIoYF for ever. The people of Bayswater and. all the region thereabouts are not to know but what the engine house is occupied by hermits, or nymphs, or some other sylvan personages. But what graceful ex terior, what columns or buttresses, what pediments or pintimeles can disguise a filtering bed which is to extend over only three-fourths of an acre ? Imagine a pond, a hundred yards long and forty yards wide, filled with Serpentine water, deposit ing organic matter in its bed, which is every now and then to be exposed to the sun, dried, swept, and carted away ! Mr. Fitzroy, indeed, alludes to .another process, which, as it is totally incompre hensible, can exist only in the form of an agreeable dream. He supposes the pure water to flow into the Serpentine, and the dirty water into the Rane lagh sower. As this must be done by mechanical separation, the process cannot but be complicated, and we incline to suspect that Mr. Fitzroy will find his £17,000 sunk in the mud and gone down the sewer before there is any pure water to show for it. At all events, there is this pond of concen trated Serpentine in a constant state of commotion and separation. Contrary to the warning, it is to produce bitter waters and sweet. It is to form at once a lake and a sewer, and not to be a nuisance to anybody. If Mr. Fitzroy feeds the Serpentine with itself, it will only be Serpentine after all, and like feeding a dog with a joint of its own t a il. It i s on l y ar guing in a circle. The water is to come from a filtering bed, fed by a steam engine, supplied by the Serpentine, and meanwhile there is the accumu lated mud of centuries lying no one knows how many feet deep at the bottom of the Serpentine, always giving out poisonous gases. Such is the scheme to be substituted for one of 'the very few plans that have been tried and found to answer. Make the Serpentine like St. James's, a great artificial lake, a mere basin, or stone tazza. Insulate it wholly from the surrounding soil. Supply it with water as pure as we ought to supply to the fountains in Trafal gar-square, or those at the Crystal Palace, from any depth you please. Contract, if necessary, with the New River Company. If the bed of the river be levelled and sealed with concrete, the water will flow out as pure as it flows in. The levelling of the bottom, and the reduction of the Serpentine to one uniform depth of five feet or so, is only a matter of earthwork,. a very light affair compared with many of those in our railways. The bottom levelled, and the concrete laid, the work is done for ever, and the Serpentine will cease to suggest even the imagination of an unsavoury per fume. At present half the world hold their noses as they pas;; half the world snuff the gale as if it came from the Spice Isles. There ought to be no question at all ; the Serpentine ought not even to be suspected. It may be better than it has been, but virtue is not a matter of degree ; we want the Serpentine to be quite pure. When the great Com missioner of Public Works to King Augeas was charged with the purification of his Majesty's stables, he did not go on pouring over the oxen and the stalls the water that had just flowed from them; he drew the pure water from elsewhere, and passed it through, never to return. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Aug. 10.—There is a good amount of business doing in the hosiery trade, business con tinuing in a healty and satisfactory state. Manu facturers are well engaged, and the operatives fully employed. Stocks are light and future prospects are cheering. In the country districts the hosiery trade is in an active condition. Wools are high in price, and yarns continue stiff, spinners being tolerably well employed. NOTTINGHAM, 10th.—There is very little alteM tion to report in the state of the lace trade. A few orders are creeping into the market, and the plain net trade is in a tolerably active state. The im provement in other departments is very slow, and not equal to what it was supposed it would be at the termination of the war. There are several or ders completing for the German market, and more is expected to be done in a short time. In fancies there is not much doing. Manufacturers are keep ing all kinds of goods low in stock. There are rather more lacemakers employed, but still many hands are but partially engaged. The hosiery trade is in a healthy state. There is not much doing just now for export, but quite as muc h as i s usua l at this period of the year. There is also an average amount of business doing in the home trade. Yarns are high in price, and have an upward tendency. The Charivari gives a caricature, in which a con script is represented as coming to consult his officer after the campaign of Italy. " Captain," he says, " I should like to carry home a souvenir of this country to my sweetheart. The corporal says that the best thing they have produced here is their Raphaels. Now, would it not be well to carry her back a few of them ?" • The Admiralty steam-yacht Black Eagle „ steamed into harbour at' Chatham yesterday for the purpose of being in attendance .on the First Lord and the other members of the Admiralty,. who are expected .-to make their 'annUal visit of inspection' to Chatham Dockyard in the - course bf a feiv days. The line-of-battle screw steamer Irresistible, 80, and 400, horse-power, nominal, is ordered to be launChed at Chatham on the 29th of October. 'She has ht-en.on the.stocks Several years, and was- ori ginally intended for a sailing ship., As soon as she has been launched, one of the .new description of large 91 -gun'sttamers isrto be laid - down on the same slip.. The screw frigate Forte, 51, which. is being fitted at Sheerness, has been supplied with her masts, spars, gear, &e. from Chatham Dockyard, and a considerable portion has been forwarded from that establishment, and put on board the frigate. The Otter, Commander Plute, has arrived at Chatham froth" St. Petersburg, with a cargo of Russian hemp for dockyard. The Poictiers, hired. troopship, sailed. from Sp head for Ceylon at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, with a fine breeze from the north-east. She has the fol lowing detachment of the 50th Regiment on board, which had embarked the previous day—Lieut. Doran, in military command ; ensigns Walkezn, Richmond, and Atthill ; staff-surg. Major Waring, in medical charge • 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 99 pri vates, 9 women, and .17 children. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Commander J. Seccombe, sailed.' at 10.30, a.m. on Wednesday for Gravesend, where she will embark the Donegal Militia, consisting of .15 officers, _3OO men, and 4 horses, for conveyance to Great Yarinouth, at which place, after disembarking the above, she will em bark the Louth Rifles, consisting of 13 officers, 350 men, and 5 h orses , for conveyance to Newcastle upon Tyne, calling at Hull to land 72 men. The Sidon, 22, paddle, Capt. Crawford, completed swinging for the adjustment of her compasses in Portsmouth harbour yesterday. The Asia (ordinary guardship of steam reserve at Portsmouth), Capt. G. T. Gordon, C. 8., hasreeeived her masts (jury), and landed her sheet and spare anchors on the sheer jetty of the dockyard. Workmen are employed in Portsmouth Dockyard in laying down the ways for the launching of the Victoria, 131, screw. The launch will take place during the net month. The Prince of Wales, 131, screw, and the Duncan, 101 (on twa decks), screw, two of the most magnificent ships in the Royal Navy, are also fast approaching completion in the building sheds adjoining the Victoria. The Imperieuse, 51, screed, Capt. R. Maguire, swung for adjustment of compasses at Spithead yesterday. The Curagoa, 31, screw, sailed from Spithead yesterday, at 5.30 p.m., under both steam and can vas. Letters received at Plymouth from the flag-ship Indus, 71, Capt. J. C. D. Hay, state that on the 28th of July she was at Halifax ; crew all well. Some seamen gunners would leave her shortly for England. • Letters received at Plymouth from the screw ship Orion, 91, dated July 22, state that her newly-ap pointed captain had arrived that day by the mail. She was then the only ship at Malta, and continued under repair. The screw steamship Donegal, 101, Capt. Gran ville, left Harnoaze under steam on Wednesday, took a short trip outside the breakwater, aid re turned to. Plymouth Sound, when she exchanged salutes with the flagship Impregnable. It is rumo ure d a t Plymouth that the screw steam ship Caesar, 90, will probably be sent to Hongkong for invalids, in which case she would return about March or April.

A contract, dated April 1, 1854, to continue . until' Oct. 1, 185q.'w-Q'nntered into with Messrs. JenkingS and Uhurcli s waro (who had offered the lowest terin3 by public tender), for conveying the mails between Dover and Calais and Dover and Ostend. " 3. An agreement was signed on or about June 20, 1855,_ substitutin g for the above contract another, extending the term from Oct.' 1, 1858, until June . 20; 1868; 'this_ extension, which was agreed to by the Admiralty without previous con sultation with the, Treasury or 'the Post-office,:does not appear, from the evidence laid before this com mittee, to have been made with due'eare and con sideration for the.publie interest. " 4. On April 26, 1859, an agreement was en tered into, again substituting another contract, further, extending the 'term until 'April, 26, 1870. Your committee have failed to di scover suf ficient public grounds to justify this exten sion, which appears to have been conceded by the Treasury on the recoinniendation of the Admiralty, but in opposition to the views of the Postmaster- General, and, as appears to the committee, without sufficient inquiry, into the grounds,,,lpcn which the claim for the extension of the contract was pre ferred. • "5. It is in evidence, before this committee that Mr. Churchward, one of the contractors, on the eve of the -last.general election, at the time when the extension of his contract was underconsidera tion at the Treasury, volunteered his support, as an influential elector for Dover, to the Hon. Cap tain Carnegie, one of the Lords of, the Admiralty, if he should become a candidate for that borough, on the - expectation that his Contract Was - to be ex tended, and expressed his intention; ierequirek to_ ,'- vote for two GOVe•Frinieht candidateS for Dover ; though.tha:committee think it right to add that the renewal of the contract had been recom mended by the Admiralty to the Treasury :at least six weeks before the date of the conversa- • tion referred to, and that it appears to your com mittee that the officers with whom the- decision of the question rested,7that neither the Amdiralty nor the Treasury were influenced in granting the re- _ ' newal of the contract by any corruptor political, motive. Your corrimittee consider, that the con duct of Mr. Murray, the privitte i secretary of the First Lord of the Admiralty, was open to grave censure, but they have not sufficient evidence to show that any member of the Government was cognisant of the conversation between Mr. Mur ray, Mr. Churchward, and Captain Carnegie. "G. While most anxious for the fulfilment of all engagements entered into in 'good faith be tween the Government and individuals, the com mittee submit for the - consideration of the House-- whether Mr. Churchward, in having resorted to corrupt expedients . affecting injuriously the charadter of the representation of the people in Parliament, has not rendered it :impossible for the House of Commons, with due regard to_its honour and dignity, to vote the sums of /money necessary to fulfil the agreement to extend :;I.lr. Chu rc h war d' s contract from the 20th of June, 1863, to' the 26th' of April, 1870. " f. Although some evidence has been taken re specting the general management of, the postal packet service, the Conimitfee abstain, in the pre sent incomplete sfate of their inquiry, from offering any opinion, on the subject, beyond the expression of a desire that the important matters referred for their inYestigaion may be again brought under the notice of a committee at the earliest opportunity." ST;11!E 01? NAPL_gS. , . (From a Correspondent of the Tinzes,) NOLEs, Aug. 6..L --A young Sovereign, especially one educated as Francis 11. has been, has much Claim on the consideration of the public: Criticism may Well be sil en t f or a s h ort t i me where youth and inexperience have to contend with so many difficulties. But there is a limit to this i n d u l gence , for by'overlooking ac t s We are liable to do a seri ous injustice to another party, consisting of some millions of human souls. Three months have now passed since Francis 11. assumed the reins of power. If we examine, however, step by step, e,ll that has been . done, we shall meet with nothing but what is calculated to disap point 'and to create disgust. These, I assure you, are not mere words—they are confirmed by patent facts, and it would at first sight, appear as if my Lord John RuSsell must be either misin formed or ill-informed when he says that the " , Kingdom of Naples is, I believe, becoming greatly , impr ove d." At present, I believe it is, if possible, in a worse state than it was, and I will tell you why. Because, while the Government affects to do something it does nothing, and lives on the prestige which it has created by false appearances. I last week sent you an ac count Of the illegal and infamous deportation of persons to the island of Capri—of men who have 'been shut up in prison for three years without trial. A greater insult was never offer ed. to England, for • her Minister has insisted more 0 the liberation of these men th an upon any, . s.i otherpoint whatever, and yet, aft er renew i ng rela tions ith this Power in buona fede, that conces sions Would be the order of the day—with a fleet in the Bay and a Minister pressing for conciliatory measures-30 untried men are manacled and tied to a lo g rope, and sent into exile. The eet went over to Castellamare for, ball prac tice on Thursday morning last, leaving h ere th e Centu on and the Exmouth. The E ur yal us an d i. the La wing left Naples on Tuesday morning, and the C radoc went out with Captain Yelverton on Mo day night to Malta.

How such sounds stir one's 1400 d in a foreign land! Rushing to the win dow, one could just discern in th e d us k o f th e evening all the yards of the Conqueror manned.. Then the land breeze brought down to us the . sounds of " Should auld acquaintance be forgot," B:e., played by the band.. A' launch shot off from the vessel, a profusion of blue lights were let off, and CUptain Yelverton ceased to command the Con aq and r d orl 1 e i H v n e t, t w h a n s u a n u g s r u e a a l t h a u n n d u u u i n .s i Nz e rs r a n In received. favour i t l e t , would 'be well for our navy if many captains would take allesson from him. _ _ The state of siege continues in Palermo, and at Messina two gross cases of torture by order of an Inspector of Police had occurred. Soon after the recent demonstrations a man of energy was sought to fill that office, and Giuseppe Toscano was chosen. Without going into all the details, a young lad called Casella was examined by the Inspector in a criminal case. As he appeared to withhold his evidence, the Inspecter beat him ferociously, and then had him tortured in the following manner. First, manacles were put on him, and then a thin cord was bound tightly round the wrists. His cries were tremendous—" Kill me, kill me! But don't torture me ! " The Inspector ordered the in strument of silence to be put on, and a piece of wood was put in his mouth, and tied to the back of his head. During the torture a young advocate entered the office, and claimed the protection of the law for Casella, but was thrust out with insults. I have seen a copy of the statement of the case which had been presented to the Swiss Instructor with a demand for justice. I have seen also a copy of the certificates of the medical men who w t er e e appointed to to examine the boy. It speaks of bl ows on the temple.and the arms, and great inj ur y t o t h e wrists, threatening the loss of the use of h sensation other tionandeaume wasotion that of a had been the cl police r n stopped, nipede.

If such barbarities are practised towards people accused of ordinary offences, what may we imagine must have been the sufferings of the poli tical offenders ?" POOR RATES AND PAUPERISM. —ln the fourth week of June last there was a decrease of pauperism in England and Wales amountiug to 31,165 persons, or 314 per cent. In the metropolis the decrease was 1.81 per cent., districts. The same awnitdhwouetreelociecpetitoonatdhdrothuagthotuhte Ea d i ec t r h e e ase of pauperis m was may be said of the other three weeks of the month of June, th e general decrease having been respectively' 4:36, 4.19: a nd 4.08 per cent. The principal manufacturing districts of the country exhibit the equally satisfactory result of a decline of pauperism. There is a decrease of nearly 20,000 paupers, comparing Xidsummer 1859 and 1858; but the decreases were still greater in the earlier weeks of thequar ter.
