movement would probably be less. The fact is, people do not know what to think, what to believe, or what to expect. A Paris letter in .the Nord says :—" I have always stated that the good understanding between the Cabinets of the Tuileries and of London would be perseveringly maintained by the former. In all the questions in fact in which the respective in terests of France and England arc opposed to each other, the two Governments, in order to prevent a conflagration, must come to an understanding. This is what Count de Persigny insisted on after his arri val at London, and I am able to affirm that it was not difficult for him to renew, with regard to the question of Naples, an accord which was manifested with éclat in the famous sitting of the Congress of Paris, of the Bth April, 1856; in the rupture of diplomatic relations with the King of Naples in the month of October of the same year; and in the attitude which Baron Brenier and Mr. Elliot have assumed since the death of King Ferdinand per mitted England and France to renew diplomatic relations with the Neapolitan court. General Garibaldi's expedition cannot in any respect change the causes of complaints .of the two great Powers against the Government of the Two Sicilies ; it on the contrary tends to prove the justice of them." BoUItSE, May 16.—The market continues heavy, with little business doing. Threes, after having been done at 69f 25c, rallied to 69f. 53c., but are now at 69f 40c. Mobilier varied from 658 f 75c to 667 f 50c ; Lyons, 860 f to 865 f ; Northern, 967 f 50c to 965 f ; Eastern, 595 f to 600 f.

A letter from Madrid says:---" It would seem, according to information which I think reliable, that Muley-Abbas has written to his friend, Mar shal O'Donnell, to announce that the Emperor has certainly approved of the treaty of peace, but that the specie to pay the 400 millions does not exist ; he therefore begs him to accept it in wheat and oats. This is a curious and novel fact. As soon as the farmers hear of this original proposal, they will e age r 1 37 solicit the Marshal to create a ministry of wheat and oats, in order to collect the corn crops of Morocco, and sell them in the home or foreign mar kets." The Madrid journals of the 11th, due yesterday, and those of the 12th have arrived. Some of those of the former day appear with figured borders in honour of the triumphal entrance of the troops from Africa. This entrance, which, as stated by telegraph, took place on the 11th, was a very imposing spectacle. Numerous triumphal arches Were erected, and the houses were decked out with sags ; an arch at the Puerta de Atoeha was com posed entirely of foliage and flowers presented by the Queen ; and the enthusiasm displayed by the Population was immense. Marshal O'Donnell, with a splendid staff, was at their head, and the other generals who commanded in Africa were prominent in the procession. The wounded soldiers were conveyed in the carriages offered by grandees and others. The anniversary of the Constitution was celebrated on the 13th at Turin with great pomp and solemnity. At 10 a.m., the King, accompanied by a brilliant staff, proceeded on horseback to the cathedral, where a religious ceremony was performed, at which the Ministers, the members of the Diplomatic Body, the Sena. tors, Deputies, and high functionaries of the State were present, together with an immense multitude, composed chiefly of the higher and middle classes. After the service the King re viewed the National Guard, the Ist legion of which was commanded by its colonel, IL H. Humbert, the heir apparent, who was loudly cheered. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Genoa, Princess Maria Pia, and the Duke of Aosta witnessed the pageant from the bal cony of the Royal Armoury. In the afternoon there were horse-races on the Piazza d'Armi, and at night the town was illuminated. The people displayed the greatest enthusiasm. Similar fes tivities took place on the same day at Florence, Bologna, and the other cities of the kingdom. The British residents at Leghorn sent an address to the Xing on the occasion, expressive of their joy at seeing institutions similar to those of England firmly established in Central Italy. AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, MAY 16. The Result, Captain J. Cow, belonging to Messrs. Green of London, which left Plymouth for the Colonies on Sept. 14, was off the port this morning, 79 days from Melbourne, having sailed therefrom on Feb. 26. She rounded Cape Horn March 26, and crossed the Line April 23. The Result has 45,000 ounces of gold, valued at X 170,000; 1,800 bales of wool, copper ore, block tin, &c., and 215 passengers, including the Rev. Mr. Bennett and family, Mr. Hoar (an opulent squatter) and family, and Mr. Reed, from Mel bourne, and Mr. Bryant, from Tasmania. Two deaths occurred among the passengers—viz., a German doctor and Mr. Allen, a ship carpenter, be longing to Hull: At 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Result was 12 miles south-west of the Eddystone, under all full sail, top-gallant sails, and royals, steering up Channel, with a fair wind from the south-west. She stopped only to land a few west country pas sengers. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, MAY 16. The royal mail steamship Australasian, from Portland, Maine, on the sth inst., has arrived: The City of Manchester had arrived out. The Southern Convention had adjourned on the same day as the Charlestown Convention, after voting down a pro- Positio n for the former (which claims to be the Nation al Convention) to take the title of the " Con stitutional Democracy." A Southern Convention was to meet at Richmond in the second week in June. Capt. Farnham, of the slave yacht Wan derer, had been forcibly rescued from gaol.

THE NEW M.P.'s WlFE.—lntent as I was upon 131 3 , new occupations, it was impossible for me not to notice the change in Flora's manner since I had obtained a seat. There were an addition of dignity to her general bearing, for which I was not prepared. It was beautiful to see her as she walked along the cliff at Helmston, followed by the Phaeton drawn by the identical old horse (Tommy, as we li-sed to call him), w h o i n our l ess magn ifi cen t d ays used to take us from Marigold Lodge to London and back within the two hours—affording us time for shopping as well with in reasonable distances—and how she carried her card-case tn. her hand in a majestic way—and with what sweet con descension she greeted her friends and acquaintances * I : rs ruly, there was a wife for a i- fUture Minister,—Froin "Th e re YicetA* Question," in Ong a Week MONEY MA_RICET AND CITY NEWS. ...,,t,rr,,ctk.,.,..- —,... CITY. Two, O'CLOCK. There is a steady demand for money at previous rates; but, notwithstanding the rise in the quota tions current in the general market to within a fraction of the Bank minimum, the inquiries at that establishment continue very moderate. At the meeting of the Provincial Bank of Ire land, to-day, Mr. S. E. Megan presided, and a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum was declared, and a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, secretary, and officers of the company. A sum of about £12,000 was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. Rather more business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market the transactions were ex ceedingly limited, and quotations were lower. Increased depression has been exhibited in the market for Public Securities to-day, owing to con tinued sales, based upon the fall which has taken place on the Paris Bourse. A very unsettled feel ing prevails in reference to political affairs on the Continent, and speculative sales are consequently effected. Consols are 94 ; 1 ,- a for transfer, and 94 4 for account. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced have declined to 921 93; and New 21 per Cents. to 781 ; India Stock remains at 219 ; ditto New is depressed at 106! !; and the Debentares are steady at NI.

SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) THE PRINTER'S BUSINESS JEOPARDISED,.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-ARLISS V. WOTHERSPOON AND OTHERS. This was an action tried before Mr. Griffiths (as deputy judge) on Tuesday, and adjourned till to-day for judgment. Plaintiff is a printer, and sought to recover £ll Es. for certain lulls and programmes printed by plaintiff for a soiree and ba'l given at the London Tavern for the benefit of the Warehousemen and Clerks' National Provident Association, of which defendants had acted as managers and directors. Mr. Buchanan produced a programme, upon which was no printer's name, and urged that by the 2 and 3 Vic., c. 12, plaintiff could not recover for the programmes. His Honour this day handed to Mr. Buchanan the fol- lowing elaborate and important judgment : " By the 2d sec, of the 2 and 3 Vie., c. 12, it is in effec. enacted that every person who shall print any paper or book whatever, which shall be meant to be published or dispersed, shall print upon the front of every such paper if the same shall be printed on one side only, or upon the front or last leaf of every book or paper which shall consist of more than one leaf in legible characters his or her name and usual place of abode or business." (The judgment quotes the case of Bensley v. Bignold in which a printer could not recover for a pamphlet under similar circumstances to the present.) As regarded the bills—although they were in four parts the printer's name and address duly appeared, and the objection would not apply ; but with respect to the programmes, each is clearly a paper meant to be and which was published and dispersed, and there are no words in the Act con fining the paper or book to any particular subject or matter, excepting the second section which excepts from the operation of the Act, books or papers published at the University presses. The original Act of Geo. 111. was evidently passed in consequence of the publication by various societies of irreligious, treasonable, and seditious publications, and the parties could not be reached because there was no way by which the author or printer could be ascertained, but the words in the section of that act and of the present are general; they extend to all papers and books, and in the case of Bensley and Ano ther v. Bignold the publication was "An Elucidation of the System of Fire and Life Assurance," a publication of a common character, neither irreligious, treasonable, nor seditious ; and the court held that it was a publication which came within the meaning of the Act. I should be glad to find that the Act was intended to be confined to pub lications of an improper nature, and not to publi cations like those in this case, of a purely innocent character; but as the words of the Act are generally applying to all printed books and papers, I cannot take upon myself to limit them. As, therefore, the objec tion is taken, I must say that plaintiff is not entitled to recover for the programmes. He will have a verdict of £6 ss. for the bills, to be paid immediately. Mr. Buchanan—That is all we request. Plaintiff—l can only say that the judgment is most adverse to the interests of printers. The bills of her Majesty's Theatre have no printer's name, nor those of the Lyceum, St. James's lan, and many other places. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY IN THE HAYMARKET..-- How ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED.—WiIIiam Willoughby, Wil liam Johnson, and Eliza Ann Walls, all frequenters of the Haymarket nightly, and the first named only just out of prison, where he had been undergoing a twelvemonths' im prisonment, were charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a silver watch, of the value of LI, from the person of Mr. Alfred Wolf, 31, Belvedere-road, a clerk. The female pri soner was also charged with attempting to rescue Wil loughby from custody. The prosecutor said, that about two that morning he was in the Haymarket in company of a friend, when, just opposite the Turkish Divan, the prisoner Johnson threw himself deliberately down on the ground so that his friend might fall over him. This he did not do, but just in sav ing himself kicked the prisoner. Johnson then jumped up and wanted to fight him. At that moment he felt a tug at his watch which, on looking down, he saw in Wil loughby's hand. He pursued Willoughby up to a cab stand when he seised him, and he then saw him throw the watch away. They had a severe struggle and rolled over and over several times, Willoughby calling out to the bystanders not to interfere, as it was only a fight. The pri soner's confederates said he was killing the man, and there was no doubt he would if he had not been prevented. The female prisoner then dragged Willoughby off, tearing his coat in two, and the prisoner bolted off, but was caught by a constable. He saw Johnson in the crowd, but he had quite enough to do to look after the other. Mr. John Flinn, the friend of the prosecutor, confirmed several points of his evidence ; and a witness named George Griffiths, of 27, Broad. street, Golden••square, proved seeing Willoughby take the watch from the prosecutor's pocket. Willoughby put some questions to the last witness, but only to strengthen the case against him. Sergeant Silverton proved a conviction against Wil loughby, and Sergeant Cole proved seeing Walls and Wil • loughby together at different times. The prisoners were then committed for trial at the Clerk enwell Sessions. THAMES. PAINFUL CASE.—THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.— Esther Parish, aged 17, the daughter of a very respectable woman, was brou ht up on remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged with robbing her mother and sister. Mrs. Parish, the prosecutrix in this case, is a resident in Lucas-street, St. George• in-the-East, and is parted from her husband, who has been bound over to keep the peace. The prisoner had repeatedly robbed her mother, and as sociated with bad company, and all efforts to reclaim her had proved fruitless. A few nights since the prisoner absconded from her home, taking with her a petticoat, a cape, and a handkerchief, be longing to her sister, a very respectable and well-con ducted female. She was shortly afterwards captured. Elizabeth Parish identified a cape and petticoat taken from her sister when she was arrested by a police con stable. Mr. Selfe said he had considered the application made to him on Thursday last by Mrs. Parish to obtain the admis sion of her guilty daughter into some asylum, and he was very sorry indeed he could not comply with her request, because she was too old—above 16 years of age. He had, therefore, no alternative but to allow the law to take its course. He asked if the prisoner was wearing the cape and petticoat when she was taken into custody. Elizabeth Parish said her sister was wearing the cape, and had the petticoat in a bag. A policeman said he also found a dress belonging to Mrs. Parish in the same bag. Mrs. Parish said she had lost a good deal of property out of her house. The prisoner sullenly pleaded guilty, and Mr. Selfe sen tenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two calendar months. THIS DAY'S SIIIPPLYG.

Hurst and Blackett. This author has before evidenced considerable skill in the volumes of fiction which have been pre sented to the public. The present work does not deteriorate from its predecessors, and many a strik ing scene of human life is put before us in the details of Mrs. Tresdaile's adventures with her rela tives. She is admirably described as an old lady possessed of many good qualities, but too much absorbed in herself and her own fancies. Her com panion, Barbara Bloyce, is a fine character, she was placed in most trying circumstances, but she sus tained her courage and nerved her spirits to be equal to the emergency. Money, so ardently de sired by many a youthful worker in this toiling world, who shrinks from the long life of labour be fore him, and so dearly prized by those in middle life who rank the golden treasure above all other earthly goods, and who seem to consider heavenly blessings as almost secondary, is undoubtedly a great boon to those striving and struggling in their vocations ; but it is to be questioned if an accumu lation of wealth is any advantage to the aged. For it renders them captious and complaining; if they are neglected, they think it is infamous in their position ; if they are courted, it must be for the sake of their riches. Again, they are too happy in dwell ing on the glittering stores of ehining trea sures that are theirs to d o as th ey like with, to dwell enough on the thought that for them the day is drawing to a close when such wealth can make them rich, and that theirs should be the thoughtlof an enduring heritage which can never fade with the transient fashions of this life, and that their treasures should be by this time beyond the reach of m o th an d rust. It is instructive to notice the various dispositions of the grandsons of Mrs. Tresdaile, each in his own peculiar line and distinctive traits stands before us, there are no less than four; Alice is a pleasing girl not in any way remarkable for force of cha racter, or for the manifestation of any great merit, but she is a loveable and graceful creature. As so often occurs her grandmother so severe and censori ous with the others, indulged her to a foolish ex tent, which resulted in no good to the young lady herself. Colonel and Miss Hollingston are well described, the latter is a peculiar individual, but, she improves greatly in the course of our acquaint ance with her. George Keldon is a very strange character, well defined, it is impossible to withhold our respect from such a man who is always deter mined to do his duty, but at the same time he is not attractive. Perhaps this is not to be expected however, under the circumstances, and Barbara herself was in some things so out of the common that there was every prospect of their union being a happy one. Andrew is another happy likeness of humanity that is too true to be agreeable in his desultory and distracting course, and many a household might furnish a prototype to his sketch in some unruly member, who se& rules at defiance, and continually en grosses the attention of others, while never doing anything satisfactory himself. It is satisfactory to note, however, that this wanderer returns to the right track after much painful endurance on all sides. There is plenty of incident in this work that is excellently described, and the author has exhibited no inconsiderable knowledge of character in many of his dramatis personce. " Grandmother's Money " is a decidedly clever novel in the depth of its thought and the vigour of its style ; not at all of the brilliant and showy class, it bears solid and sterling qualities for its recommendation. The Constitutional Press Magazine. A Review of Politics, Literature, the Church, the Drama, and Fine Arts. New Series. No. XIV. Saunders and Otley. The story of " Hopes and Fears" is continued at some length, and some striking scenes are met with. The whole of the events occur in Ireland, to which place the wonderful pair of independent damsels had resorted to be free and unfettered as air, and to return in triumph to their friends among whom they expected to shine as the angel anglers of the Emerald Isle. As might have been sur mised, so rash a proceeding and so daring a viola tion of proscribed rules bore in itself the germ of discontent and wretchedness. The failure was complete from the beginning, when forlorn and bewildered they were landed in a strange place, till the ignominious finale, when they were only too eager to welcome Owen to their hiding-place, and suffer him to arrange all things for their im mediate return home. The sketches in this instal ment are among the best that have appeared in this narrative. Both the young ladies are most natural specimens, and it is amusing to watch how, while professing to set the world at defiance, they are perpetually jangling among themselves. Many such characters disport themselves gaily and brightly in the sunshine, but in the clouded storm of the domestic horizon they prove the falsity of their principles, and are a burden to themselves, painfully experiencing that all their vanity has resulted in vexation of spirit. " A Minute Ago" is a strange bat well•written sketch in the dra matic form ; it will be more intelligible as it pro ceeds ; but some of the actors are ably delineated. The tale is a very sad one as yet. " Opera Opera tions" is the name of a short paper, in which some just criticisms are made on general grounds, and which afford some useful advice to those who under take the perilous taste of being pioneers to the musical world of London. Here and there some of the remarks may be too severe, but there is, never theless, truth to be found in the main. " Lord Sohn Russell" is the subject of an article, and, as may be presumed, he does not figure to great ad vantage in the sketch before us. It is said that " as uncertainty and a mental nervousness were the chief characteristics of Lord John Russell at the outset of political life, so they were present with him ever after, and are now the most prominent features by which we recognise his connection with the past." It is also stated that ho lowered his dignity by consenting to serve under Lord Palmer ston, which is true enough, as he never gave any satisfactory explanation of his reasons for so doing. But the alternate feuds and friendships of the two noble lords have long ceased to cause any surprise, though they may create annoyance or ridicule, ac cording as the beholder's wishes may incline. It might be suggested that the article in question would gain instead of losing in force, if the writer were a little more moderate in his expressions oc casionally ; but it is smartly done on the whole. Squires and Parsons. A 'Sketch for the Times. Saunders and Otley. This is a very brilliant little volume which con tains in its small space as much point and repartee as are often found in the lengthened pages long drawn out of many a novel of the orthodox tribe of three volumes. Some of the most glaring liken sisteneies and harsh regulation's of rural districts are ably exposed and strongly animadverted upon. Besides, there is quite a romantic plot interwoven with the more serious and sage portion devoted to sketches of the rural grievances. Sir Edward Tor rington is a delightful specimen of a young Eng lish squire, and there is great merit due to the author for producing on the scene a worthy charac ter like this in contradistinction to the oppressors who are cited. Nothing is a greater mistake than to make all the chief personages out as bad and unfeeling. Virtues and vices belong to no class or rank; they are the heritage of mankind ; they were extant before the creation of barons, which fact those who rail at the aristocracy as the source of all sin and crime would do well to remember. Sir Edward met with many trials, and it was a sad change to quit the smiling prospects that awaited him in England to be an outcast, penniless and deserted, on the other side of the Atlantic. He returned, however, to begin his work again and to resume with redoubled zeal the many plans he had in project for the benefit :of his tenants. We leave him in the confident expectation that his would be an honourable and happy life, and that after his death many generations of the families bene fited by his kindness would continue to bless his name, and revere his memory,—Jane Wentworth, the curate's sister, whom he had the fine taste to ap preciate, and the good sense to select as his partner for life, is one of those bright examples who are not often given us to admire. She was firm in the right course, while gentle and gracious in her de meanour. The account of the dark scheme which was concocted for the ruin of Sir Edward is in geniously described, and it would ba well if the mac hinations of all such manoeuverers were fol lowed by such speedy retribution as fell on the heads of the guilty pair. On the whole, this book of " Squires and Parsons" may be considered as a very readable story, so far as romaire goes, and a very worthy attempt in a light form to -exhibit some errors in the social system, and to demon strate the force of individual influence, and the importance of personal character. If each squire and parson without troubling himself with subtle dogmas and infatuating himself with antique pre judicies acted like Mr. Wentworth and Squire Torrington, there would be better and brighter days in store for many a hamlet and village now distracted by theological controversies, and p ar i s h disputes. A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words. By a London Antiquary. 2d edition. John Camden Hoffen. Although the title of this little book may offend ears polite, it really contains much amusing infor mation, and gives an insight into the hieroglyphics used by vagabonds,which will enable those curious in such matters to understand the various chalkruaiks and scratches to be found on all walls and passages by the careful observer. The author does not con fine himself to low life, or the cant of thieves and costermongere, but, as he states on the title page, he reveals the cant jargon of every state of society, rising from the streets of London and the dens of St. Giles—the strongholds of slang—via the Universi. ties of Oxford and Cambridge and the. Homes of Parliament, to the Palace of St. James, We find also a history of cant and vulgar language, with glossaries of two secret languages spoken by the wandering tribes of London—the costermongers and patterers. The author has taken great pains to discover the derivation of many extraordinary words ; and classical gentlemen will be pleased to find that the lower classes are indebted to the ancient Greeks and Romans for some of their every day cant expressions. That this book will command a large circulation cannot be doubted, for irrespec tive of the patronage it is likely to receive from Young England, green undergraduates, et hoe genus °lime the novelty of th e wor k w ill exc i te the curio:. sity Of many.

In consequence of its being Ascension Day, their lord ships did not assemble this evening. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(TIIIS EVENING-) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time :—Banbridge Junction Railway ; Belfast and County Down Railway ; Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway; Buildings Im pro vetnent Company ; Dublin and Kingstown, and Dublin and Wicklow Rail wa y C ompan i es ; Egleston Roads ; Keith and Dufftown Railway; Mersey Docks and Harbour Board ; and Upper Mersey Dues. The Lords' amendments to the Metropolitan Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was erdered for third reading. The Vale of Ciwyd Railway Extension and Wexford Free Bridge bills were considered and ordered for third reading. MAIDSTONE WATER BILL. On the consideration of thisebill, Mr. DEE DES moved that it be re-committed to the fer nier committee. The hon. member founded his motion on the ground that a locus standi had been refused by the com mittee to 1,000 inhabitants of Maidstone, whowere rated to a largo amount, and were entitled to be heard against the bill on the allegation that it did not provide au adequate sup ply of water for the requirements of the town. After some discussion, which was devoid of any public interest, Mr. bEEDES withdrew his amendment, and the bill was ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Wine Licenses Bill, in favour of the Bankruptcy Bill, against legalising marriage with a deceased wile's sister, in favour of opening the British Museum on Sunday afternoons, in favour of establishing parks for the public, &c. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Sir W. JOLIFFE, a writ was ordered for the election of a burgess to serve in Parliament for the borough of Leamington, in the room of Sir J. Carnac, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON rose pursuant to notice to move that the house at its rising should adjourn until Monday, in consequence of her Majesty's birth-day being celebrated to-morrow. He would move, !notwithstanding such ad journment, that the committees should have leave to sit to-morrow. He took that opportunity of stating that he proposed that the house should adjourn for the Whitsuntide holidays ou next Friday week until the fol lowing Thursday. He might state also that the present arrangement relative to Thursdays and Fridays was to con tinue for the remainder of this session. (Laughter.) FOREIGN PAPER. Mr. STANSFELD asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for some information relative to the arrangements that had been entered into by the Government with the Emperor of the French as regarded the duty on foreign paper. They were aware that the house had passed the bill for taking the duty off paper, but it was a question whether the bill would not be defeated in the House of Lords. Sup pose that result took place, what course would the Govern ment be prepared to take ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER read the 7th article of the treaty, which referred to the subject, and clearly proved that the duty on foreign 'paper should be assimilated to the excise duty existing in this country on home manufactured paper if that duty were retained. It was not his business to anticipate the result of any decision that might be arrived atbytbe Upper House, but whatever that result might be, he considered the terms of the article referred to was sufficiently explicit on the subject to be clearly understood by any person who studied it properly. There was no doubt whatever on the part of the Govern ment in reference to the motion. IRISH BILLS. In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE, Mr. CARDWELL said it was not proposed to proceed with the Irish bills until after the Whitsuntide hohdays. ASSISTANCE TO INSURGENTS IN SICILY. Mr. HENNESSY called the attention of the house to the statement by the Solicitor-General, with reference to an advertisement in the Times newspaper for raising money to assist the insurgents in Sicily; and also called attention to a decision of the Court of Common Pleas as to the illegality of such a proceeding. The hon. member having denounced the conduct of Gari baldi and his compatriots, as well as the principles and practices of the secret societies, quoted the autho rity of Dr. Phillimore, the Attorney-General, and Lord Lyndhurst to show that enlistment for a foreign, state was illegal. He contended that England had de parted from her former position, and instead of upholding ancient and constitutional dynasties had encouraged revo lution, and assisted insurrection. (Hear, hear, and "Oh, oh.") The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained in respect to what he had previou s ly s t a t e d on this subject, and said that he did not feel bound to defend Garibaldi or those who acted with him. He considered that a person subscribing individually for such a purpose as that alluded to by the hon. member would not be liable to an indictment at common law. He admitted, however, that persons conspiring together for the purpose of producing a revolt in a state at amity with this country would be liable to indictment. But ho con cluded that the two cases were totally different. It had been held that a person subscribing individually for such a purpose as that in question could not recover the. amount subsvribed if it wero applied to another purpose. But there was a wide difference between the legality of the claim endeavoured to be established and the criminality of the act of subscription towards such a purpose. Mr. WHITESIDE considered that the statement of the right hon. the Solicitor-General was rather obscure, and he contended that the law he laid down was not correct. He maintained that the subscriptions of a party to a fund for the purpose of overthrowing a foreign potentate wag' clearly engaged in a conspiracy, and, a s such, entitled to criminal prosecution. He could not conceive how an individual engaged in such subscription could be isolated from those engaged in that subscription in the mass. Mr. EDWIN JAMES considered -that the Soli citorthought the ease - ofGeneral p rwas Barnard, i n which error, and he referredsaidw was eo not t h analogous to the case now before the house. He believed was s t tshuechpeseuitbiseenriepftiothneweeaseenri g Ireland t illegal, hu an d in the fund for the Pope, in order to enable his troops to mas sacre his subjects. QUEEN'S MESSAGE.

It had been anticipated by many that his liberation would have taken place im mediately after the trial of Eugenia Plummer, but the steps to be taken in a case like the present occupy some time. His liberation, however, will no doubt take place before the week expires. _ TIIE PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.—He besought me, not without a certain degree of pathos, whatever I did, never to countenance bribery or corruption in any way. " A humble meal and a clear conscience, Mr. Jones, are better than a seat for the West Riding obtained by such means—besides, it always comes out before the committee. There's very little of it now o' days —very little of it. It is not as when I first came into the profession. In those days —to make no mention of bribery—people used to think no thing of making a few scores of voters drunk, and shipping them off in coal-lighters till the election was over. It was shocking, indeed.
