" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, an,d future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The pro• pitious skiey influences which were wont to mark the pro gross of her tours proved adverse, and the sunshine which is always associated with her trips abroad had no existence. Rain fell with little intermission throughout the day, and the mass of umbrellas which sprung up appeared like dark coloured toadstools which the wet had suddenly called into existence. Still the inclement weather did not deter a large number of female visitors from attending the Course, and those who patronised the Stand were well sheltered. The balcony and :the wooden stand beyond actually glistened with bright hues, and, despite the dark leaden-tinted clouds, bright flashes of sunshine came out and made the bright dresses of the ladies clustered on the lawn like a " flower besprinkled meadow." The race produced a most diminish ing effect upon the attendance, and the presence of ladies witnessing races from clesed carriages, or sheltering them selves under umbrellas, was not a pleasant sight to behold. The Queen arrived on the Course just prior to the com mencement of the second race, and was received with all that enthusiasm which is generally expressed when her Ma jesty mixes amongst the people to witness their pastimes. Much interest was created by the presence of the Prince of Wales, and he obtained a separate ovation as soon as he was recognised. No sooner had the Royal party arrived than the horses for the second race started. The remarks which we append require no comment. Rupee, the winner of the Cup, was, we understand, purchased before the race by Lord Stamford, for a large price.

Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshavve, K.C.8., late Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, has been selected to succeed, as Commander-in-Chief at D.:..vonport, Vice-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, whose period of service has expired. The Barracouta, 6, ...paddlewheel steam sloop, 300-horse power, Commander Wm. Wood (recently commissioned at Sheerness), is taken into dry dock to undergo a thorough examination. The Dwarf gunboat is to have her engines and boilers taken out in order to find the extent of the rot and any other defects. The Phaeton, screw steamer, 51, 400-horse power, left Sheerness harbour yesterday, under the com mand of Capt. Schoenberg, for a trial of her machi nery (built by Messrs. Bolton and Watt). There were present Mr. Langland (the builders' repre sentative), Messrs. P r i ce an d Dennen, inspec tors of machinery, ~and Mr. Blaxland, chief engineer of her Majesty's dockyard. The trial, so far as the ship and machinery are concerned, was of a highly satisfactory nature, but is con sidered incomplete owing to the roughness of the wind and sea. Another trial will be made. The repairs of the hull of the paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, at Devonport, are so far advanced that she will be ready for a trial cruise outside Plymouth breakwater when the authorities think necessary. The gunboat Partridge having been found de fective will be replaced in the steam reserve at Devonport by the Porpoise, which is in an advanced state. The schooner Lark was placed in the basin at the Devonport dockyard on Wednesday for the purpose of being broken up. The Netherlands screw steam frigate Zeeland, 50, Captain H.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards on Wednesday next, the 13th inst., at 1 o'clock. Yesterday Major-Gen. S. R. Wesley, the Deputy- Adjutant-General, resumed his inspection of the Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry from the portion concluded on the previous day. It is generally believed that the official report to the Lords of the Admiralty will be most flattering to the officers and men of the division. The Istamboul, 1,310 tons, Capt. A. Denchar, East India troopship, which arrived in the Thames from Bombay on the sth inst., disembarked her troops at Custom-house-quay, Gravesend, yester day morning, when they were immediately for warded to Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham. The Istamboul embarked her cavalry and infantry troops at Bombay on the 2d of March, and sailed on the following day; touched at St. Helena on the 29th of April, and left that island on the Ist of May, the passage to the Thames occupying 95 days. During a portion of the voyage the ship experienced very tempestuous weather, and on the 25th of March, when in the Indian Ocean, off the Mauri tius, encountered a fearful hurricane, which lasted 24 hours, causing some damage to the vessel and carrying away several of her sails. Another heavy gale was also encountered on the sth of April off the Cape of Good Hope, which raged furiously for three days, during which the jibboom was a second time carried away, the vessel labour ing heavily. Four soldiers, who had been tried by general court-martial in India and sentenced to penal servitude, were also brought home as prisoners. During the voyage there were 12 deaths on board —viz., nine soldiers, one passenger, one sailor, and one prisoner. After the troops had disembarked it was found necessary for six of the invalids, who were too ill to be forwarded to Chatham, to be kept at Gravesend. On the ar rival of the remainder at Fort Pitt nine insane solders were sent to the lunatic asylum, and nine teen men admitted into hospital for treatment, the remainder being conveyed to the invalid establish ment at St. Mary's barracks, to await an inspection by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital. CONVOCA7ION OP THE PROVINCE OF CANT_ERBURY. Yesterday morning both Houses of the Convoca tion of the province of Canterbury assembled at Westminster for the despatch of business. THE UPPER HOUSE. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided in the Upper House, which assembled in Queen Anne's Bounty-office, and there were also present the Bishops of London, Winchester, St. David's, Ox ford, Lincoln, Bangor, Llandaff, Lichfield, Chi chester, and Norwich. Dr. Travers Twiss, the Vicar-General of the Province, Mr. F. H. Dyke, the registrar, and Mr. Felix Knyvett, the Archbishop's secretary, were also in attendance. The Bishop of OXFORD moved a resolution to the effect that this house had received a report from the joint committee of both houses, containing a draught of certain occasional services, had read them from A (that of the harvest), and made cer tain alterations, and now sent down such draught with alterations to the Lower House, desiring the Lower House to take them into consideration, and to report their opinion thereon. Without commit ting themselves entirely to the services, he thought it would be w e ll to send the draught down, not adopting it as a perfect model, but simply express ing an opinion that such a form of service ought to be drawn up for use in our churches. The Bishop of CHICHESTER seconded the motion. After some discussion, His Grace the PRESIDENT put the resolution to the house, and it was carried. The Lower House was then summoned. The Prolocutor (the Dean of Bristol) attended, accom panied by the Dean of Norwich, Archdeacon Sand ford, Canon Wordsworth, Archdeacon Bickersteth, the Rev. Harold Brown, and the Rev. F. Vincent. The draught of the services as amended was handed to them, and the r epresentatives of the Lower House retired. THE LOWER HOUSE. The Lower House met in the Jerusalem Cham ber, the Dean of Bristol presiding as Prolocutor. There were also present the Dean of Norwich, the Dean of Canterbury, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Ely, Archdeacons Dennison, Thorpe, Sandford, and Bickersteth, Canons Selwyn, Wordsworth, BroWne, and Mills, Drs.

PALERMO, MAT 27. It is 2 p.m., and [ am writing to you with the bombshells flying above my head through'the air. 'When the landing of Garibaldi produced the first fit of terror at Naples, the youthful Bourbon sent to his brave fleet concentrated in the Bay of Palermo the order to bombard his faithful Pulermitans, and re duce their town to ashes if they should dare to rise against his paternal authority. The Paler mitans had been treated once already in this paternal manner by the illustrious father of the present Sovereign, who, as you remember, figures in history as King Bomba for having given these souvenirs of his love to every large town of his kingdom. Whoever has been in a town which is bombarded will tell you that it is very unplea sant, especially if you have not got the means of answering in a condign manner, and yet Palermo has risen this morning. Yesterday an official bulle tin of the Government announced to the Palermi tans that Garibaldi's defeated bands were flying in the direction of Corleonee, followed by the victori ous troops of the King ; that the bands which had joined him in Sicily were going home gradually and tranquilly; and that in a short time all would be over. This morning at daybreak Garibaldi ap peared at the eastern gates of Palermo, and after a comparatively bloodless struggle entered them. By 10 a.m. the greater part of the town was in his hands. The plan of attack which Garibaldi conceived was to surprise the posts in the lower and compa ratively ill defended part of the town, to throw himself into the town, and then gradually work his way from street to street. The two roads leading to this part of the town run almost parallel, and not far from each other. That close to the sea shore was the least guarded, containing merely a company or so, altogether cat off from all communi cation. The task would have been easier from this side had it not been for the fear of the march of a long column being discovered, and thus an alarm given. The second, the high road from the inte rior, was therefore chosen as the line of operations. It crosses, about half a mile from the town, the route Del Ammiraglio, leads through a large open street to the stradone on this side of the town, and enters the town at the Porta di Termini. At this gate the Neapolitans had made a sandbag barri cade, which was occupied by two companies. The stradone before it was enfiladed by a couple of mountain guns, placed at the gate of Sant' Antonio. Beyond the stradone small forts extended all along the road up to the bridge, and the outposts were just on the other side of the bridge. With that just coup d'ccil which Garibaldi cer tainly possesses, he had singled out this point as the most practicable. Having, with the exception of the troops he had brought with him, but rough, undisciplined guerillas at his disposal, he saw that the best chance was to concentrate all his forces and surprise or break through by main force. The operation was to be assisted by a general rise of the people in the town. Having sketched out his plan, he convoked the different guerilla chiefs and informed them of his intention. Ile told them that it was not his cus tom to have councils of war, but he thought it for once good to consult them, as upon the resolution taken must depend the fate of Sicily, and perhaps of Italy. There were only two things to be done— either to try and get possession of Palermo by a coup de main, or else to withdraw and begin a regular organisation in the interior, and form an army. He, for his part, was for the coup de main, which would at once settle the fate of the island. He told tb em to be brief in their remarks• and not deliberate long. Most were utterly astonished at the boldness of this plan, and made some re marks about the want of ammunition for their They were told, for the hundredth ,ime, that it was not long shots which imposed on ,he well-armed Neapolitans, but a determined rush n advance—that they ought not to waste their am munition and fire off their guns for sport, and were promised whatever could be spared. This objec tion being waived, all expressed more or less loudly their approbation of the plan, and were dismissed with the injunction to animate their people and keep up their courage. The first idea was to make the attack in the middle of the night—the Neapolitans don't like to stir at night, and there was every chance of a panic among them; but there was some danger that way likewise for the Sicilian insurgents, and it was thought best to make such arrangements as would bring the force at dawn to the gates of the town. , According to the original and better plan of the General himself and his Adjutant-General, Colonel Turr, the movement was to have been made along the main road from Misilmeri, broad enough to admit of considerable development of the columns, and commodious in every respect. The native captains, however, suggested the Pass of Mezzagna, which descends from the heights behind Gebel Rosso into the plain of Palermo. According to their state ments it was much shorter, and by no means diffi cult. Their statements were believed, and the whole force received orders to be concentrated by nightfall on the summit of the pass, crowned with a church. According to the first disposition the troops brought by the General himself were to lead the way, and the squadre to follow ; but some of the chiefs begged it as a favour for their corps to have the honour of being first in the town—a claim which could not be very well refused. The plan was, therefore, modified. The guides, and three men from each company of the Cacciatori delleAlpi, were formed into an avant-garde, confided to Major Tukori, a Hungarian officer, who distinguished himself under Gen. Kmety on the 29th of Sept. at Kars. Behind this avant-garde followed the Sici lians, commanded by La Maga, an emigrant, who had come over with Garibaldi. The second line was led by the riflemen of Genoa—excellent shots, all armed with the Swiss carbine. Behind them came the two battalions of Cacciatori delle Alpi, and in the rear the rest of the Sicilians. The order having been distributed, the different bands gradually worked their way towards the sum mit of the pass. The packing up at head-quarters did not take much time ; it soon after broke up its camp and followed the troops. I was mounted on a regular Rosinante, with a halter passed round the jaw, and provided with a saddle which seemed to have been formed to fit on the vertebrae of my lean black charger. A blanket was, however, found in due time, and on the whole I cannot complain. The road up to the pass winds along rows of gigan tic cactus hedges, which give a thoroughly Eas tern character to the country. It was just sunset when we arrived on the top, whore, through a gap, we could see the bay and town of Palermo and the sea beyond, looking more like a fairy picture than reality. All the mountains, with their rugged points naturally of a reddish tint, seemed to have drunk in the rays of the setting sun, and exhibited that rosy colour which I had thought hitherto a special gift of the plain of Attica. While you bad this charming scene before you, you looked behind, as it were, into the hearts of the mountains. It was one of the finest spots I ever saw, and all the country was fragrant with spring flowers, the perfume of which came out with re doubled vigour as soon as the sun had set. It proved a bad road for the expedition, that moun tain pass, but it was lovely to look upon. In order to entertain the Neapolitans with the idea that all was safe on that side, the usual large fires were kindled on the tops of the mountains, and kept up long after our departure by men left behind for that purpose. Garibaldi went up to look at the position underneath, or perhaps, to indulge in that kind of reverie to which he is subject in such solemn moments, and which ends in a concentra- The evening gun in the fort had been long re echoed by the mountains, and the moon had risen clear and bright above our heads, giving a new charm to this lovely scenery, before we stirred. During this interval the Picciotti (youngsters), as the patriots are called, were put into some kind of order, which, you will believe me, was no easy matter in the comparative darkness which prevailed ; no chief knowing his men and the men not recognising their chief—every one acting for some one else, and no one able to give an answer. With the exception of the troops brought over by Garibaldi, all the rest seemed an entangled mass, almost impossible to un ravel. However, by degrees those belonging to the same chief found themselves together, and the march began about 10 p.m. Either the Sicilian chieftains had never looked at the Pass of Mez zagna, or else they have curious ideas of a road ; the whole is nothing but a track among big stones crossing and recrossing the bed of a mountain tor rent, following not unfrequently the bed of the torrent, leading over smooth masses of stones and across most awkward gaps—all this at an angle of 25 degrees, to be passed on horseback at night Even the men could only go singly, which made our line of a frightful length, and caused cont: delays and stoppages. The General vowed never to believe another Sicilian report on the state of a mountain road. However, in the end, we reached the plain and came in among the olive trees below, with few falls among the sure footed horses. A halt was made until all the columns had descended, and during this halt an in cident occurred which did not promise much for the future behaviour of our Picciotti. The horses in Sicily are left for the most part entire, hence conti nual fighting and considerable neighing, which was inconvenient in a night expedition of this kind that several of the most vicious steeds had to be sent back. One of them still remained and began its antics ; the rider lost patience, which made matters worse. These nearest threw themselves back in haste, and communicated the movement to those behind. Those, many of whom had sat down and began to doze, mistook in their dreams, probably, the trees for Neapolitans, the stars for so many shells, and the moon for a colossal fireball; at any rate, the majority of them were with one bound in the thickets on both sides of the road, several fired off their muskets in their fright, and very little was wanting to cause a general panic. Every one did what he oould to re store confidence, but the effect was produced and reacted as you will see by and by. Another incident occurred, which might have led to the failure of the whole expedition. The Sicilian guides who were with the avant-garde missed the road,and instead of taking a by-road which led into the main road we had to pur sue, they confirmed on the road near the hill-side, which would have brought us just where the Neapo litans were in the greatest strength. The mistake was perceived in time and repaired, but not with out considerable loss of time. At last the column emerged on to the main road, which is broad and skirted by high garden walls. As we had lost con siderable time with all these contretemps, and as dawn was approaching, we had to make haste, but, whether from fatigue or the impression of the night panic, the Picciotti could not be brought to move very fast. It was just the first glimmer of dawn when we passed the first houses, which extend in this direction a long way out of the town of Palermo. The squadri, who ought to have known the locality better, began shouting and' evvivaing," just as if we had been close to the gates. Had it not been for this blunder, the avant-garde might have surprised the post on the bridge of the Ammiragliato, and probably penetrated into the town without the loss of a man. As it was, the shouting not only roused those on guard on the bridge, but likewise gave an opportunity to the Neapolitans to strengthen the force at the gate of Termini, and to make all their dispositions for a defence from the flank. Instead, therefore, of surprising the post on the bridge, the acant-garde was received by a well sustained fire, not only in front, but from the houses in their flanks. At the first sound of the musketry most of the Picciotti were across the garden walls, but not with the view of firing from behind them, leaving thus the thirty or forty men of the avant-garde all isolated in the large exposed street which leads to the bridge. The first battalion of the Cacciatori was sent up, and as it did not carry the position fast enough, the second was sent after it soon after. While these were driving back the Neapolitans, every one did his best to drive the Picciotti forward. It was not so easy, in the beginning especially, when the sound of cannon was heard in front, although its effects were scarcely visible. However, the Picciotti, who re mind me very much of Arnout. Bashi-bazouks, can be led on after the first unpleasant sensation has passed away, especially when they see that it is not all shots that kill or wound, not even the cannon shots, which make so formidable a noise. They could see this to perfection this morning, for al though the Neapolitan rifles are scarcely inferior to the best firearms, I never saw so little damage done by S . ) much shooting. ",Every one put himself, there fore, to work to lead and urge on the Picciotti, driving them out of the sheltered places by all kinds of contrivances, and often by blows and main force. After some trouble most of them were safely brought through the open space before the bridge, but the general tendency was to go under rather than above the bridge, which is, like all bridges over torrents, high, and was in this in stance exposed to a heavy cross-fire from the Piana di Borazzo, where the Neapolitans had a loopholed wall and some guns mounted, which threw a few ill-aimed shells. While the General himself and many of his staff did their best to make them leave this shelter again and proceed, the avante-garde had chased back the Neapolitans to the stradone which runs down to the sea just in front of the Porta di Termini. The Neapolitan fort at the gate, consider ably reinforced, opened a hot fire, which swept down the long avenue of houses leading to the bridge, while at the same time the two guns and the troops posted at the Porta Sant Antonio brought a cross fire to bear on the attackers. But this was no obstacle to the brave fellows who led the way. They did not lose time with firing, but rushed on with the bayonet. The eommander of the avant garde, Major Tuhori, a Hungarian, and three of the guides were the first across the sandbag barricade in the town, but the leader was wounded by a shot, which shattered his left knee. Otherwise the loss had been trifling. While the avant-garde and the Cacciatori chased the Neapolitans from spot to spot, the Palermitans began likewise to stir, but, justice compels me to say, only tin the parts which the troops had left. The same scene as at the bridge was repeated at the crossing of the stradone by the Picciotti, who followed in a straggling movement. And yet it was important to get into the town, in order not to be outflanked or taken in the rear by the Neapoli tans holding the Piana di Borazzo. In order to avert this danger, the order was given to some of the bands to get behind the garden walls which line the road by which the Neapolitans might have come down on our left. These diversions, and pro bably the dislike to fight in the open, were suffi cient to parry this danger until the greatest part of the stragglers had passed. At the same time a barricade was thrown up in the rear with anything which could be laid hold of. This work pleased the Picciotti so well that they began throwing up a barricade in front likewise. At any rate. they blocked up a part of the road before they could be prevented. But the most critical thing was decidedly the crossing of the stradone, where the cross fire was kept up, and all kinds of dodges were resorted to to make them risk this sotto, which they thought mortal. I and one of the followers of Garibaldi held out one of the men by main force exposed to the fire, which soon made him run across. It was here, above all, that the bad firing of the Neapoli tans told. I was looking on for some time, and did not see a single man even wounded. In order to encourage the Picciotti, one of the Genoese rifle men took four or five chairs, planted the tricolour on one of them, and sat down upon it for some time. The thing took at last decidedly, and you ing, shouting, crying, and hugging, his hand and embrace his knees. Every moment brought new masses, which debouched in troops from one of the streets, anxious to have their turn. As the Caeciatori gradually cleared the lower part of the town, most of the inhabitants came to have a look, and give a greeting to the Liberator of Palermo and Sicily. The entrance was effected about half-past 5 a.m., and by noon more than one-half of the town was clear of the troops. But two hours before this was effected, the citadel had opened its fire on the town, at first moderately • enough, but soon after with great vigour, firing large 13-inch shells, red-hot shot - , and every other projectile calculated to do the greatest possible da mage. About noon or so the ships in the harbour opened their fire, and between the two they con trived to destroy a great number of houses in the lower part of the town, killing and wounding a large number of people of all ages and both sexes. Two of the large shells were sent right into the hospital, and exploded in one of the wards. Everywhere you perceived ruins and conflagrations, daad and wounded, not a few of whom must have perished among the ruins of their houses. It was especially the part of the town near the Piazza Bologni, and some of the adjoining streets, which was ill-treated. If the object of the Neapolitans was to inspire terror, they certainly succeeded. Whoever could took refuge in whatever he thought the most bomb proof place, and those who could not you saw crying, praying, and wringing their hands in the streets. It was a pitiable sight eed, and it did more harm to inoffensive people t/Nn to those who might have retaliated. Before opening the fire the Commodore sent a polite message to all the men of-war which were in the way to get out of it, and ls which were moored inside the Mole had to slat their berths and take up positions outside. THE PAPER DUTIES. A public meeting in opposition to the course adopted by the House of Lords with regard to the repeal of this tax was held last evening at the London Tavern ; Mr. James White in the chair. The attendance was numerous, and among others on the platform were Sergeant Parry, Mr. Morley, Mr. A. H. Dymond, Mr. Washington Wilks, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Fry, Dr. Challis, Mr. G. Thomp son, &c. Communications were read from Sir James Duke, M.P., Mr. E. James, M.P., and others, expressing regret at not being able to attend, but concurring in the objects of the meeting, as was a letter from Lord John Russell. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, con sidered that the act of the House of Lords was an aggressive measure against the declared wishes of the representatives of the people. The Lords had passed the penny Income-tax, and had refused the repeal of that which was to have been the equiva lent—the duty on paper. Just before he came to the meeting he had referred to Mr. Erskine May's work on the forms and usages of Parliament, and on turning to chapter 15, referring to the rights of the House of Commons, he found it stated that all aids of supply must be given by the House of Com mons. This gentleman had been already examined by the Committee on Precedents, and he had no doubt that his testimony would confirm his repu tation as a Parliamentary lawyer. If further con firmation was necessary, he might refer to the Queen's Speech in opening Parliament. They would remember that her Majesty told the House of Commons, not the House of Lords, that the esti mates Would be laid before them. Besides this, all money bills in their attestation declared that they were the sole gift of the House of Commons ; and the Queen's Speech in closing the session acknow ledged the same principle; and indeed it was ne cessary that it should be so, or all commercial trans actions in which duties were involved would be checked, whenever bills imposing or removing tax ation were introduced, until it was known what course the House of Lords would take concerning them. Having referred to a let ter from Mr. Cobden, which appeared in the even ing paper of that day, the chairman went on to say, Mr. Cobden's letter drew his attention to the struggle which took place 200 years ago on the subject of ship money. It was argued 12 days before the Exchequer, and 10 judges had decided that the Crown had the power to levy it ; while two, to their immortal honour, decided against it. At the pre sent day he believed there were only two lawyers who upheld the doctrine for which the House of Lords contended—viz., Lords Lyndhurst and Chelm , ford. He need not refer to the end of the.. struggle he had just alluded to, but they wculd recollect it terminated in a surgical operation in front of Whitehall, which, after all, he believed was a most salutary operation. ' (Question.) The glory of the country was not in its enterprise or its wealth, or its power, but in that liberty which we inherited from our forefathers. (Cheers.) He hoped the result of that meeting would be such a declaration of the will of the people as would con vince the Lords that there was no apathy existing in the country on this subject. Then there would be no occasion in this country to say— " 11l fares the land to wasting ills a prey, When wealth accumulates and men decay." (Cheers.) Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY said he had been requested to move the following resolution : " That it is the immemorial right of the British people to be taxed only with their own consent, by and through their own representatives in the Commons House of Parliament. That the refwal of the Manse of Lords to remit a tax abolished by the representatives of the people is in direct contravention of that right, and is, in fact, an unscrur ulous attempt to impose taxation on the sole autho rity of the House of Lords. That this meeting therefore calls upon their countrymen to protest against so flagrant a violation of their constitutional rights." He did not think any elaborate statement from him was necessary to satisfy the meeting of the impor tance of the question, and he would merely add his protest to those which had been already made. The House of Commons had determined on the remission of the Paper Duty, and the House of Lords had said it should not be abolished. He would admit that a veto rested in the Crown, but he also believed that if that veto were exercised it would make thoughtful men anxious. He believed that Mr. Gladstone was prepared to assist in the adjustment of taxation on property, and also that the Earl of Derby was opposed to the reduction of expenditure. It was his opinion that the views of such men as John Bright would tell on the pros perity of the country and on the great mass of their fellow-countrymen. In conclusion, he urged that the people must depend upon themselves, and then they would know on whom to rely. Mr. W. LEAF seconded the motion. Mr. J. K. FRY having supported it, Mr. NicnoL endeavoured to move an amendment apparently opposed to the wishes of the meeting, as he was compelled to retire amid much noise and confusion. Mr. PRICE and Mr. HICKS also endeavoured to address the meeting in opposition to the views of the previous speakers, but, on the question being put from the Chair whether they should be heard, it was decided in the negative. Mr. TAYLOR moved the second resolution : " That the following petition to the House of Commons be signed by the chairman on behalf of this meeting:— "'That from time immemorial it has always been the right of the British people to be taxed only with their own consent, by and through their own representatives in the Commons House of Parliament. That the refusal of the House of Lords to remit a tax abolished by the people's re presentatives is in direct contravention of that right, and is, in fact, an attempt on the part of the Peers to impose taxation by their own sole authority. Your petitioners therefore pray your hon. house to take effectual measures to resist so flagrant a violation of the privileges of your hon. house, and of the rights of the people.' " and referred to the attacks which, he said, had been made on Mr. Bright, both by the press and in the House of Commons. Three cheers for Mr. Bright having been given, Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion, which was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. CONNELL, seconded by Dr. CHALLIS, it was agreed that Lords Palmerston and Russell be requested to present the petition. The meeting separated after the usual compli ment to the chairman. IRELAND. LUBLIN, Thursday Evening. ENROLMENT FOR THE PAPAL ARMY. The following t C h 'o e n s i) t b u cf u n n v‘ t . h e r i o s tatement, published in the cork iug Papers, h :_ as been telegraphed to "The enlistment for the Papal army is increasing very much in this locality. On Tuesday evening no le C r than 350 persons were enrolled at the North Chapel, and it is known that many more are about to offer themsaves. The enlistment in this country has gone on more successfully than was ex peet cd, and more men have joined than accommo dation eAn to: found for. A telegraphic despatch has in consequence been received from England, directing the agcuts in this country to stop recruit ing for the present, as there were no means of transport, and the places of rendezvous in London were quite full."
