The sum of £233,667 was, after a lengthened and animated debate, voted for the pay ment of the expenses incurred under that compre hensive heading-Diplomatic Services. The discus- • sion which took place was provoked by an amend ment moved, in a very able speech, br the hon. gentle man the member for Warrington. That amendment proposed, in simple terms, the reduction of the aggre gate amount by some £lO,OOO stering. It brought under consideration, however, not merely the ques tion as to that ten thousand pounds, but the far larger question of the whole scheme of our diplomatic organization. For a considerable time past, there has been, alike within and withcut the walls of Parliament, a very vivid sense of the necessity that has long existed for the introduction of a series of bold and comprehensive reforms in the regulation of the complicated and delicate maclinery upon which it may be said that the whole of our Foreign Relations are sustained. Economy is, no doubt, the order of the day throughout the whole of the various departments of our Administration —more particularly at this present moment when we have, installed in power down at Whitehall, a set of Minis ters especially priding themselves upon their collec tive reputation as an Economic Government. Nevertheless, while this is indisputably the case, and while, consequently, economic considerations affect, more or less, every suggestion that has been in that way thrown out with a view to the introduc tion of a series of systematic improvements into the Diplomatic Service generally, those economic consi derations are not, by any means, the most prominent or the most powerful among the incentives, here, to innovation. As illustrative of the truth of this, in a rather remarkable way, we would again refer to that singularly able pamphlet to which we have already in these columns, more than once, directed public attention, as having been published by the Messrs. Blackwood, of London and Edinburgh—a pam phlet evidently from the hand of some skilled and experienced servant of the Crown in connec tion with the Foreign-office, and whose proposition, involving within it no diminution of cost whatever, would at the same time lead, through a series of in genious, and for the most part thoroughly well-con sidered re-arrangements to a complete and, so far as we may be permitted to pronounce an opinion upon the matter, an eminently judicious reorganiza tion of the whole system of our Diplomatic service. The question really at issue, in this particular depart ment, is hardly so much a question of economy at all, as it is a question of re-arrangement and of general re organization. Abortive though Mr. RYLAND'S amend ment yesterday proved to be in its immediate result —having been rejected upon the casting vote of the Chairman of Committee, by reason of a tie, sixty six for, as confronting sixty-six against, the proposed reduction—the member for Warrington might well be congratulated by the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if for nothing else, for having, through the medium of yesterday's discussion, elicited from Sir lIENRY BULWER the masterly speech in which that right hon. gentleman has given the house, and through the house the country, the benefit of the wisdom born of his immense diplomatic experience. Ambassador at Constantinople, Ambassador at Madrid, Minister at 1% ashington—the member for Tamworth has, in his day, acquired a knowledge of our Diplomatic System, extending over the lifetime very nearly of a whole generation. During the last thirty years he has been associated with it, he has been identified with it, ho has—through it—ac quired one of the very highest reputations in that most eminent profession. Nevertheless, while him self foremost among the foremost Diplomatists of his age, the Right Hon. gentleman could yesterday with full justice and with full reason arrogate to himself in the presence and hearing of the House of Commons, the added distinction of being also, himself, one of the earliest of our Diplomatic Re formers. Hitherto, however—we cannot help feeling this,while we admit the personal claim of Sir HENRY BULWER to popular consideration in that particular, namely, iu his capacity as one of the earliest cf our Diplomatic Reformers—hitherto, however,we cannot but bear in especial remembrance the fact that the re forms applied to the diplom ttic service have been bit by bit reforms, have been almost hap-hazard reforms, have certainly been reforms intermittently intro duced, and of an essentially piecemeal character. What is at last wanting in regard to the Diplomatic Service is its careful reconsideration throughout— is, in other words, its complete, and comprehensive, and systematic reorganization. How far from per fection it is, it needs only the perusal of this admir able speech of Sir HENRY BULWEWS, fully and vividly, to recognize. Nevertheless, while we would say this, we must, perforce, add, that that speech of Sir HENRY BULWER'S constitutes, at one and the same time, a noble vindication of the general character of the Diplomacy of England, even under all its present, and past, and many of them really enormous disadvantages. At the close of that bold and admirable vindication—as the peroration to that brilliant and masterly address of Sir HENRY 13nwEit's yesterday in the house of Commons—the Diplomatist was, by an ex quisitely felicitous figure of speech, thus strikingly typefied and, while typefied, eulogised—we mean where the right hon. gentleman--himself, as we all know, one of the first of living diplomatists—ex claimed of the Diplomatist in the abstract—" For him the trumpet of fame never sounds ; his reputa tion lies buried in the musty archives of some ne glected office, where it lies in obscurity till some curious historian disinters the skeleton of an intellect whose proportions were never kuown to the world till it had long left it. Do not imagine," Sir lIENRY BULWER here added very impressively, " Do not imagine that because the career of a diplomatist is noiseless it is therefore in significant. I may say that I have known most of the leading men of my time, I have been acquainted with men eminent in the forum, in the senate, in the field. I have been acquainted also with the leading diplomatists of England and of Europe, and I declare, with all sincerity, that I do not think the last aro at all inferior to the first, either in the usefulness of the services they have to perform or in the capacity they have shown for the per formances of those services. Let me, then, hope that the position of the profession to which I have the humble merit of belonging will not be lowered from that station which it has hitherto occupied— though in saying this I by no means exclude, I rather invite, the elimination of every unn ecessary expense, and the adoption o f ev ery practicableimprove ment." No wonder when the member for Tamworth added immediately after this, before resuming his seat —"I have now only to thank the house for the patience and attention with which:they have heard me"--ono wonder, we say, that the right hon. gentleman closed his speech amidst loud cheers from all parts of the house. Very earnestly is it to be hoped that, after the discussion which took place yesterday, but more par ticularly after the remarkable speech delivered in the course of that discussion by Sir lIENRY BULWER, the whole scheme of the English Diplomatic Service, as it now is, may be taken very seriously into considera tion, with a view to its complete and comprehensive reorganisation. 145 17 6 Total Receipt ..

Whether the construction of the long-talkel- of Railway Tunnel under the British Channel is or is not to be seriously undertaken, there can be little doubt that something should without further delay be adventured upon, with a view to the mate rial improvement, through the regular packet service, of the means of communication already existing between France and England. As the official report to the Board of Trade puts it —" There are now, exclusive of the routes by Ostend and Antwerp, 310,000 passengers a year to be provided for, of whom 142,000 travel by Calais Re the nail route ; and tingle numbers lIIQ capable Of , _; • . great augmentation on greater facilities and increased comfort being afforded." Captain TILER adding, here, that " the existing steamers, restricted to their dimensions for want of better pier and harbour ac commodation, are not proportionate to the impor tance of the service." Larger vessels, he insists, with less movement in rough weather, more shelter, and better accommodation generally, would do much to mitigate the discomforts of the sea passage—and, even supposing the Tunnel Project to be undertaken some time, ten or fifteen years must inevitably be consumed in its construction, during which interval the proposed improvements in the regular steam packet service ought in reason to be enjoyed by the two countries. Three millions sterling would cover the whole cost of these suggested improve ments. Two millions being the cost involved, according to Mr. FOWLER'S calculations, in the construction of entirely new harbours at that portion of the Channel at the opposite sides of which the shores of England and France the most nearly approach one another, namely, at Dover and at Audresselles. By the expenditure, there, of £2,000,000, and by the expenditure of considerably less than a million at two other points, namely, of £lOO,OOO on the English coast, and of £500,000 on the French coast at Boulogne, the steam packet ser vice between France and England might be im proved forthwith, and to the fullest extent that could in reason be desired. As the report expresses it, " larger vessels cannot be employed for a fixed ser vice until better provision is made for embarking and disembarking passengers, especially on the French coast." And it adds, " The pier at Dover is not only ready, but has frequently been used for military transport vessels of the largest size, though certain improvements are required in the jetties for greater convenience in embarkation and disembarkation. The difficulties in the way of fitting the harbour of Calais for the reception at all times of larger vessels are very great, but by a judicious extension of the west pier at Boulogne, similar accommodation might be provided on the French side. At a cost of, say £lOO,OOO at Dover and £500,000 at Boulogne." Captain TYLER assures the Board of Trade " the desired object might, apparently, be attained in the most economical and most expeditious manner." Immediately after this, the Official Report thus throws out the very simple and matter-of-fact sug gestion, to the effect that "by the adoption of steamers, capable of moving with equal facility in either direction, the difficulties incidental to turning round in small harbours may be avoided ; and the existing harbours at Dover and Boulogne might, with certai❑ modifications, be made available to some extent for improved vessels." Summing up the whole argument in two or three sentences, the Report thus puts the whole hinted proposition as it were in a nutshell. " The relative distances may be stated to be—be tween Dover and Audresselles 24, Dover and Calais 26, and Dover and Boulogne 30 English miles ; while the passage to Boulogne, though longer, is admitted to be better than that to Calais. Either by the con struction of naw harbours at Dover and Audresselles, at a cost (as estimated by Mr. FOWLER) of £2,000,000, inclusive of steamers, or by the improvements above suggested at D over and Boulogne, at a cost of £600,000, exclusive of new and improved steamers, the imme diate object should be to provide an improved fixed service, irrespective of wind and tide, between London and Paris in eight hours ; and it would appear to be desirable now to refer the whole matter, through the Foreign Office, for the consideration of the French Government, with a view, perhaps, to the ap pointment of an international commission, in which ' that Government would, no doubt, readily acquiesce, and without which the important interests involved could not be authoritatively dealt with, nor the gene ral question satisfactorily decided." Would it be un reasonable to utter here an aspiration that the prac tical suggestions thrown out thus iu the Official Re port just addressed to the Board of Trade by Captain TYLER may be acted upon, and not simply stored up among the archives of that department? kV* t Ve P anf:}l ' , HER MAJESTY.

Quite naturally. What should come of the "Kentish fire" of excited Irish Church partisans, hut Kentish fire-flies? A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.—Ghost of Queen Eliza beth (to Queen Victoria, reading Irish Church Bill) : "Agreed, have they? Ode boddikins ! Gads my life, and marry come up, sweetheart!

But—(' more in sorrow than in anger')—an' you a Artis', sir !!" (Gets another shilling.) Mu% P. ON THE IRISH CHIIIICH.—Mrs. Partington says she cannot think Mr. Gladstone was polite in calling the Irish bishops panthers, out of some Latin book. If he had said leopards, when he was making 'em change their spots, and go from one spot to another, the delusion might have been clearer. But she disapproves of the whole scream of sectarianising the surplice, which ought not to be on a lay figure. MR. PUNCH'S PROTEST AGAINST THE PASSING THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. Mr. Punch, for himself and all other Journalists, protests—. 1. Because this bringing the affair to a tame compromise is an injury to himself and those whom he has named, inasmuch as it Eliminates a variety of very good words, as Crisis, Antagonistic, Complication, Constitutionalism, Sacerdotalism, Vituperative, Demonstration, Commuta tion, Disestablishment, Disendowment, and other valuable polysyllables, and the weather is too hot for the Crystallisa tion of new ideas. 2. Because he, personally, is done out of an awful lot of effective cartoons, which would have been supplied by a collision, particularly a view of Beales marching upon the House of Lords, and one of Mr. Disraeli demanding the impeachment of Mr. Bright for bad Latin. 3. Because, though he never believed in a crisis, a great many able penmen have insisted there was one, and they are brought to open shame by the ridiculous business habits of Englishmen. 4. Because we shall all be deprived of the daily satisfac tion of seeing the House of Commons well pitched into by the Standard, as Atheists, Dissenters, and Robbers, that estimable journal having actually calmed down, on the morning after the arrangement, and being able to utter nothing stronger than the mild complaint that " fidelity to principle has been supplanted by a dog-like subservience to a man. We see the result of this in that monotonous as semblage of dumb-foundered mutes which calls itself the Liberal party, and which knows no higher line of duty than to vote as Mr. Glyn directs, and kotow to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. The policy which has reduced the Ministerial ranks to that perfection of discipline exhibited in a school presided over by a flogging usher, has knocked out the brains of the party, and substituted for an assem blage of thinking men a fortuitous concourse of stilted mediocrities, whose snot d'ordre is to vote as they are told, and yell down the Opposition speakers." 5. Because English people were learning something about the Geography of Ireland, and several accomplished persons had been known to speak with comparative exac• titude as to the relative positions of Dublin and Galway, Cork and Coleraine, and had the debates lasted another year there is reason to believe that most people would have had a distinct notion of the situation of the four provinces. 6. Because the passing the bill is a new evidence of the tyranny of England towards Ireland. The former, having ever been a plunderer of the latter, now robs her of her last grievance. 7. Because Parliament will now have an excuse for addressing itself to trumpery topics like Education, Pauperism, Emigration, Sanatory Regulation, Crime, Taxation, and the like,which are exceedingly dull themes, and which offer no points for fiery orators or sparkling wits. 8. Because he did not want to go out of town, and hoped for an autumn session as an excuse for sticking to his club, whereas now he must go and be bored with scenery, bad cooking, and dear lodging at some seaside place. 9. Because he hates Papists. 10. Because he hates Protestants. 11. Because he hates everybody, and means to, until the weather permits him to wear clothes. PUNCH.

A sad accident occurred in Liverpool on Wednesday. Eight labourers were engaged in demolishing a house in Everton, when the flooring of the room gave way, and five of the men, falling with the debris, were so seriously injured that in two or three cases a fatal result is anticipated. An idle rumour was in circulation in Birmingham cn Wednesday that Mr. Bright was seriously ill, andsomo Tor sions went so far as to allege that the right hon. gentleman had suddenly died. Theßirmingham Post is able to say that both reports ere entirely false. The litigation in the case of the Duke of New castle is drawing to a close. The interpleador suit of Glad stone and Lord De Tabley v. radwick as to property at Clamber seized under a bill of sale, has Leen turned into a special caso, and will be decided at Westminster after the long vacation. The application for an adjudication in bank ruptcy is still pending. A curious instance of incaution has just occurred at trio Middlesex Sessions. A juryman named Tuckfield took into court with him a bag containing watches and money of the value of £l5O, which he placed under a seat. On the rising of the Court he found the bag where ho had placed it, but its valuable contents had disappeared. Ne thirg yf t has been discovered to indicate the direction in which the property has gone. A billsticker in Limerick, while posting placards on Thursday relative to the amnesty meeting to be held in that city next Sunday, was arrested by the police and detained for about an hour at one of the constabulary barracks. The plrcards were in the meantime submitted to a local magistrate, on whose advice the prisoner was liberated. Tho matter has been takon up by the local amnesty committee, and legal proceedings against the police aro threatened. On Wednesday the Liberals of Hull celebrated the return of Messrs. Clay and Norwocd to Parliament by a great demonstration at the Rifle Barracks. Over 2,000 per sons took tea together, and the borough members after wards addressed a much larger assembly. In his speech Mr. Clay said that, from the evidence given before the Parliamentary and Municiral Election Committee, he was more strongly than ever of opinion that the ballot would become the law of the land, and that the next election would be conducted under it. Votes of confidence were enthusiastically agreed to. A man, giving the name of Burton, has been com mitted for trial by the Hertford magistrates on two charges of obtaining money and goods by false pretonces. Prisoner, in oompany with a London cabman, went to Hatfield House, the residence of the Marquis of Salisbury, and began to prowl about the corridors and passages. They shortly afterwards left, but were taken into custody, when it was discovered that Burton had gone to a Bertford ironmonger, under the p re t ence th a t be was one of Lord Salisbury's game k eepers, and bad endeavoured to obtain a garden roller and a mow i ng m achine. Ile also obtained ss. from a ragway official on a similar pretence, besides fleecing a gentleman in Piccadilly of 10s., by saying ho was a park-keeper to Lord Salisbury. Prisoner asked to be ad mitted to bail, saying Lord Dudley Ward would be surety for him. The other man was discharged, on its being proved that he was a person of good character. TIIE BRITISII MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. —At the second general meeting of the British Medical Association, Sir William Jenner delivered an address on Medicine. Many, he remarked, were sceptical as to the value of medicine as an art, and especially as to the remedial power of drugs. For his own part, extended knowledge dud accumulated experience had only increased his con. idence in the remedial powers of his art. The mode of xplaining certain effects in curative medicine might be Langed, but not the facts themselves. Sir %V, Telmer then referred to many of the departments in which medical science had made the greatest advances, and alluded to a theory in regard to tho treat. meet of diseases of the heart, now generally accepted, which, when first made at the Pathological Society, was received with shouts of laughter, He also remarked on the great gain which modern physicians had derived from the use of the microscope, And t 9 the Welk Ai - 11 , 0 fr9na , . the use of eAmsthetice. _ THE NO - 1712VGIIAM ELECTION PETITION The proceedings in this petition (against the return 0 Mr. C. Seely) began on Thursday. The proceedings promise to be nearly as protracted as those at any former inquiry into the doings of the "lambs." The unsuccessful candidate at the last election was Mr. D. Seymour, Q. 0.?, but he does not claim the seat. The case for the petitioners was opened by Mr. Serjeant Parry. The petitioners represented, the learned counsel said, 8,000 working men who had subscribed to defray the cost of the petition. The constituency WO over 13,000, and more than 9,000 voted. Mr. Seely had a majority of 110 over Mr. Seymour. 11 ° alleged an organised, paid, and planned system of terror, whereby voters for Seymour were kept from the poll. A lot of " lambs " had been hired to attack and obstruct Seymour's voters. They were paid ss. each, and had ale. After the learned counsel's opening,, voters were called to prove payment as " lambs." WORK FOR NEXT SESSION. Several important subjects are already entered on the notice paper of the House of Commons to be taken into consideration next session. Mr. Donald Dalrymple, th e member for Bute, intends to move a resolution "tha t it is desirable to legislate for the proper reception , detention, and management of habitual drunkards." Dir. Cross (South-West Lancashire) will call the attention 0 f the House to the subject of Church patronage, and to the necessity for the removal of certain disabilities affecting patrons, incumbents, and parishioners; and at the same time ho will ask leave to bring in a bill dealing with the question. Mr. J. D. Lewis has given n otice that he purposes introducing a bill to remove such die• abilities as affect the clergy of any existing establishe d Church or religious denomination in the - United King• dom. The religious question is also to be take o up by Viscount Sandon, who will move t° bring in a bill to prevent the introduction changes in the! accustomed mode of conducting divine worship in parish churches without the assent of parish' ioners, and of the bishop of the diocese, or the archbishoP of the province. Mr. Birleyis thinking of calling attentio n to the commercial treaty with France, and of moving tore a committee to inquire into the operation of the tariff upon British commerce and manufactures. ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE IMILWAY. An express train ran into a luggage train on the Eri e Railway on Wednesday, July 14, and killed from ten t° fifteen persons. The circumstances of this accident are* noteworthy example of carelessness on the part of employes. The luggage train was waiting in a siding. Th e express was some twenty - five minutes behind time, wh et/ the engineer of the freight train, awaking from a cony fortable nap, and presuming, it is supposed, that the express had gone by, reached out and pulled the• throttle of his engine, and the train slowly moved forward on to the main track. The engine bad P it reached the "frog," and stood partially on the main track , diagonally to it, when the express train rounded til e curve at a tremendous rate, and quick as lightnios crushed into the freight engine, completely shatteria the two locomotives, and " telescoping " the forward CO on the passenger train into a heap of ruins. The passenger locomotive was overturned, scattering t he fire through th e s pli n t ere d wrec k, w hi c h s peed ignited, and blazed up into a brilliant conflagrati oe• The engineers and firemen on both trains escaped wi th very slight injuries, although how they escaped thel are themselves unabl e t o t e ll. Th e p assengers i n the reAr passenger cars at once rushed out, and, aided by the han d ! on the freight train, endeavoured to rescue the injured Ps 44 l. sengers from the burning wreck. The fir e had gained su e " headway that it was useless to attempt to check it, ther e being no water near. The rear cars of the train w ere pushed back one by one , th ree o f th em b e i ng save d by th' u , means.
