LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1880. -~--- So we were right after all—the Tories are we enough advised to accept, and cordially to accep Resolutions, which are mere records of undeniable facts. We were right even, Mr. OSBORNE and Mr. DISRAELI being judges, in criticising the very grammar of the third resolution, and deducing the conclusion that breaches of grammar indicated the more serious probability of breaches in the Cabinet. And so we find it in the debate. No two speeches can be•in more substantial opposition than those of Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. GLADSTONE. The Premier is all for quiet resolutions, and leaving things as they are ; his Chancellor of the Exchequer regards them as respectable trueisms, and avows himself in favour of ACTION ! Lord PALMERSTON elicits almost unqualified praise from the leader of the Opposition. Mr. GLADSTONE drives Mr. WHITESIDE into such an angry retort, that the Irish orator actually resorts to the American Senate —an elected Senate—to justify:the aggresion of our hereditary House of Lords ! Even Mr. WHITESIDE hazards the suggestion of Americanizing our insti tutions, by adverting to - what a Senate can do, which can justify its interference with money bills, by the fact, that its members, like those of the Lower House, represent those who are taxed. When the Lords will submit to popular election, we may well offer to revise our practice in regard to money Bills. Till then we may safely assert, that those who maintain that it is consistent with constitutional usage for the Lords to retain a tax of a million and a half, which the Commons have abolished, maintain quite as revolutionary a doc trine as that of requiring every member of the House of Lords to appear on the hustings. We do not know that of all the clever speeches which Lord PALMERSTON has made that he ever made a cleverer one than that of last night. The only thing it wanted was—pluck. He was the Lord more than the Commoner. To take an illus tration from the dining table of the jovial lord, the titular handle to his name overbalanced the repre sentative blade, and prevented the latter doing damage to appearances. The Representative, said, precedents sustained only apparently the conduct of the Lords ; that they had never interfered in an important part of the House of Commons' scheme for taxation ; or, in any case, in which there were not more than merey financial considerations. And, that the House ought to resist allowing the Lords "to enter into partnership" with them in their financial measures—so far the Representative. Itu tthen the noble lord came in, and overbalanced all with assertions that the noble lords could have no such intention. He had no proof that they did not mean to set up as financiers, although without even estimates to work on. Indeed (only he must not notice the debates in another place), they had de fended their rojectio n of the bill by financial rea sons. Still, " Charity believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things," and so forth ; and Lord PALMERSTON believed only good of tlio Lords, h)ped no harm would come of their mistakes, and would endure any• thing rather than have a quarrel with the Upper House. He would not continence the quarrel. We suppose he meant on the m oralist's principle that there must alw a y s b e two a quarTel ; that he, theref ore , who re r Paties to oo mmences the quarrel. Certainly turns the blow the Lords have given the Com m) one denies that mons of 1860 a very handsome blow on the finan cial check, so Lord ..PALMERSTON, like an extern- plary Christian, proposes meekly to turn to them the other cheek—of a mild and placid resolution. And this is the HERR TON PALMERS TON, whom all Europe so unjustly charges with delighting in broils ! But if Lord PALMERSTON had no fight in him, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had enough for both. He had scarcely opened fire, when Mr. DISRAELI and Sir JOHN PAKINOTON rushed into the House to watch its effect, and to get ready an Opposition broadside in favour of the Premier and the Lords. It was time to beat to quarters when Mr. GLADSTONE began :—" I must say, considering that gentlemen opposite are the partisans on this occa• sion of the most gigantic innovation—(loud cheers; —the most gigantic innovation, and the most dan. gerous that has been attempted in our time—(hear, hear) —I may compliment them on the prudence they have shown in resolving to be its silent par tisans. (Cheers.) I should like to know in what language and in what tone those who assume to be Conservative politicians could argue in support of a great encroachment by one House of Legislature on the other." And when adverting to Mr. EDWIN JAMES' speech he said,—" I do not scruple to say that this house would do well to viudicate and establish its rights by action. (Loud cheers.) Without in the leas degree imputing blame or finding fault with the terms of the resolutions proposed by the Govern ment, in which I heartily concur, I reserve to my self entire freedom to adopt any mode, if more likely to be attended with success, of vindicating by action the privileges of this House! I I" (Cheers.) Of all this the meaning could not be mistaken. Mr. GLADSTONE will prefer, if ho see any chance of success, to send up in some form the Paper Re peal Bill to the Houses of Lord this year, and in some such form, as that alluded to in the third resolution, such as will render it impossible for the Lords again to reject it. His ingenuity could no doubt easily effect this, but the question we ima gine will then be whether he or Lord PALMERSTON should give way. His arguments were certainly exceedingly ingenious and well stated. He showed conclusively that the question was one of usage only, not of rules, since there was nothing in the rules of the Lords to prevent their doing what they allowed they ought not to do ; that in fact the claims of both houses were in theory unlimited. But practically the Commons only meant to reserve to itself the integrity of the taxing power," while the Lords only " meant to preserve to itself an effective means of preventing the House of Commons from forcing npon it other matters of general legislation under cover of money bills." This is, we believe, a very fair account of the spirit of the course taken by both houses both in remoter and in more modern mes. Mr, GLADSTONE contended that if they were to " preserve their essential privileges inviolate, the origination of a bill for the imposition of a tax, or the amendment of a money bill, is a slight thing compared to a bill to prevent the repeal of a tax." He showed that the now celebrated Stone Bottle Bill, was really a bill to double the tax. He might like the £700,000 he should get between August and April, but he should like to get it honestly ; there were some things even more valuable than money ; open as a Chancellor of the Exchequer was to its seductions. He maintained that the financial privileges of the house did not rest on its infallibility of course it could err the question was whether the Lords had the con stitutional right to rectify its financial errors. The Commons had, in 1853, repealed the soap duty in order to abide by its pledges, and in face of the Russian war—far costlier than a Chinese one—and the Lords did not interfere. In 1839, to establish a penny postage, they created a deficiency of about the same amount as the paper duty, but the Lords did not correct them ; and it was most re markable that the Chancellor of the Exchequer who sent up that bill to the Lords, was the Mr. THO MAS SPRING RICE who now, under the title of Lord MONTEAGLE, has originated the present dispute by proposing the rejection of the Paper Duties Repeal Bill. The hon. member concluded with observing —" I content myself at present with saying that there is no colour of precedent for their proceedings. This is a matter of great importance. Eince 1815, there had been £78,000,000 of taxes repealed. All the bills for the repeal of those taxes had bean accepted by the Rouse of Lords from the Rouse of Commons upon the responsibility of the Com mons ; and now, when we come to the seventy ninth million, the House of Lords thinks fit to establish a new precedent ! For my part I cannot but think that this is a time in which men are little disposed to deal with abstract principles ; and that those assertions which our forefathers made of their rights, we now think one of little value com pared with obtaining a few hundred thousand pounds. But I must confess I cannot bring my mind to take that view. I view the whole rights of the House of Commons as they have been handed down to us constituting a sacred inheritance, upon which I for my part will never per mit any intrusion or plunder. I think that anterior to the duty of dealing with all other legis lative duties, our first duty is to take care that we maintain intact that precious deposit. I concur in every word of my noble friend's resolutions, which declare that we have in our hands the means of maintaining it inviolate. We have in our hands the means of framing bills of supply as solely be longing to the rights of the House of Commons. I respectfully reserve to myself the freedom of act ing in the best way to give effect by practical mea sures to the principles which I maintain." These are noble words, and we trust there are few even of his antagonists who would not be ready to adopt them. GARIBALDI is lucky in the English Houses of Parliament. He has an enemy in each. But for this, half the praise he has had both in Lords and Commons would never have been heard there, and of course heard all over Europe. Lords PALMER STON and RUSSELL have by this means had the opportunity to utter sentiments concerning Italy, Naples, Sicily, and the General, which have been received with shouts of gratitude, as authentic letters inform us, in Palermo itself. The moral support of British statesmen, backed by the British people, is a source of strength to patriots struggling for liberty all over the world. Last night the ire of Lord NORMANBY gave Lord BROUGHAM an opportunity to send another telegram to Naples and Sicily—for assuredly it will soon be there. The Ex-Whig Ambassador to the Ex Court of Florence, must take upon himself to catechise the Government respect ing the appointment of the Due di SAN GIUSEPPE by GARIBALDI as the Sicilian representative to England, and to denounc' GARIBALDI as a " foreign adventurer." Where upon the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH observed that he " did not think General GARIBALDI could have chosen a worthier representative than the one whose name had been mentioned ;" and Lord BROUGHAM, to give Lord NORMANBY further satisfaction, added that h e a would draw no comparison of • General GARIBALDI with certain Potent-Iles, or say anything of adventurers who had gained their possessions by force of arms, as THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1860. 1:111111) EDITION.

Brandon's Estate, Milford Haven Railway and Docks Amendment, and the Waveney Valley Bills were read a third time and passed. JEWS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord LYNDHURST moved the second reading of this bill. The motion was put and agreed to. Several petitions having been presented, The Earl of MA.LMESBURY expressed some surprise that the bill of his noble and learned lord had been read a second time, the more so as it stood at the bottom of the list of orders for that evening. Several noble lords had come down to the house, wishing to make some remarks upon it before it was read a second time. Lord CHELMSFORD said he certainly wished to offer a few remarks on the bill previous to its receiving a second reading. Lord REDESD ALE said had be beendkin the house he most certainly should have objected to the alteration of the orders of the day. The Earl of STANHOPE thought it was highly incon venient that any bill should be taken out of the orders as they stood on the paper. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill appeared purely of a formal character, and the second reading had been taken early in order to accommodate the convenience of the noble lord. The case was not perhaps strictly regular, but the anxiety they all felt to oblige the noble and learned lord, whom they all so much respected, and in which anxiety he fully shared, had induced him to take the bill out of is order. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. ANSTRUTHER UNION HARBOUR BILL. This bill passed through committee. [LETT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the religious profession clause in the Censes Bill, against the Sunday Trading Bill, against the extension of the Wine Licenses Bill to Scotland during the present session of Parliament, &c. ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION (EDINBURGH) BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. HADFIELD said that he would not press the amendment which stood on the paper, the object of which was to refer the bill to the examiners of petitions for private bills, who should report to the house in reference to the bill. Hei retained, however, the-opinions he had pre viously expressed in reference to this measure. The bill was recommitted on the 28th June, and in its altered term was in the hands of members only a few days. The fact was, that the bill was an entirely new bill ; and, although he might have no locus standi to entitle him to move the amendment, he considered that the bill should not be pro ceeded with this session. Mr. CAIRD presented a petition from the Town Council of Edinburgh, against the bill in its altered form, and ap • pealed to the Lord-Advocate not to press the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE said that some explanations had now become necessary in consequence of a misunder standing on the part of hon. members. This bill was changed in its form at the request of the Town Council who now petitioned against it. He had introduced a bill in con • fortuity with that of 1857, and which at the time was ap proved of by the Town Council, but they subsequently altered their opinion, and in order to meet their views he had propose d that there should be a permanent rate im posed. He could not consent to withiraw the bill under the circumstances. After some discussion, The LORD-ADVOCATE said, that in order to termi nate this discussi o n for the present, he would withdraw the motion for the house going into committee on this bill, and move that it should resolve into committee on the other Scotch Bill on the paper. Ultimately however, the house went into committee on the bill. Clause 7 was, after some discussion, agreed to. Mr. DUNLOP moved the omission a clause 9. The LO RD-ADVOCATE stated that there was nothing introduced into the bill in regard to security that was nit indispensable. Some discussion ensued, and the amendment was nega tived without a division. The other clauses were agreed to. ➢lr. STIRLING moved an additional clause, to transfer the patronage from the Town Council of Edinburgh to the Kirk Session, as in the case of Montrose. He based his clause on a conviction that the Town Council of Edinburgh would not exercise the patronage in the most judicious manner. The LORD ADVOCATE said that there was a difference between the case of Montrose and Edinburgh, as the town council of the former were willing to resign their patronage to the Kirk Session, if the latter were not so disposed. lie denied there was any ground for imput ing mismanagement to the Town Council of Edinburgh, and he could not assent to the clause. Sir J. FERGUSON said he agreed to the abstract prin ciple of the amendment, but as it would endanger the pass ing of the bill he could not vote for it. Mr. BLACKBURN strongly advocated the principle of the amendment, and hoped that an oppartunity of adopting it would not be lost. After some discussion the committee divided on the mo tion that the clause be read a second time— Ayes ........ Noes Majority The clause was accordingly lost. Mr. BUCHANAN moved the addition of a clause to the effect, that the Town Council of Edinburgh should have the power to sell the patronage. The Lord AdVocate supported the clause, and Mr. Black burn opposed it. The clause was agreed to without a division, and was added to the bill. Mr. MILLER moved the addition of thefollowing : " The right of patronage or of the presentation of a person to be minister of the church and parish of North Leith, heretofore belonging to and exercised:by the ' haill inhabi tants' thereof, under the Statute 1606, c. 27, or by any of them, shall, f om and after the passing of this Act, cease to be in and belong to the said haill inhabitants,' and the same is hereby transferred to and vested in the male persons, being of full age, whose names shall appear on the valuation roll in force for the time, as proprietors or oc cupiers of any lands and heritages situate within the said parish of North Leith, hereinafter termed ' the heritors,' and within two months after the passing, the heritors and male communicants shall meet on such day as shall be named by the kirk session, of which meeting intimation shall be made from the pulpit of the said church, and also by advertisement in three or more newspapers published in Edinburgh not less than eight days previous to such meeting ; and it shall be the duty of the session clerk to cause the necessary intimations to be given, and at the meeting so to be called the said inheritors and male com municants who shall be present thereat, shall by a plurality of voices elect one of their body to be chairman of the meeting, with a casting as well as a de liberative vote, and shall also elect a clerk of the meeting, and a committee not to exceed 25 persons, a majority of whom shall be a quorum, and the committee shall forthwith proceed to frame regulations as to the time of calling and holding future meetings of the heritors and communicants, and of voting thereat, and as to any other matters or procedure necessary in order to carry into effect the purposes of this enactment ; and the regulations so made shall forthwith be published by advertisement in such newspapers as the committee may direct, and shall, after such publication, be submitted for the approval of the Sheriff of Midlothian, and when ap.• proved by him shall be valid and effectual, and the whole future procedure shall be regulated thereby; and when any election of a person to be a minister shall have been made under the said regulations, it shall be sufficient that the deed of presentation be subscribed by the chairman of the meeting at which • he election shall be made, and by any three members authorised by the meeting to subscribe the same along with him, and such deed of presentation, when so subscribed, shall be as valid and effectual as if the same bad been subscribed by all persons entitled to vote in such election. The clause was agreed to and added to the bill. The preamble, with amendments, was agreed to, and the chairman was ordered to report the bill. HERRING FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The hous3 went into committee on this Several clauses were agreed to, and the chairman r,- ported progress. The house suspended its sitting shortly before 4 o'clock.

THE BRIGIITON ELECTION. —There are at present three Liberals in the field for the vacant seat. It is pro posed to wait for the address of each candidate before it is finally determined who is most worthy of support. that might be thought invidious ; but this he could not help saying, that he believed 999 out of every _ 1,000 persons in England heartily wished him suc cess." Still unabashed, Lord NORMANBY went on to talk about the cruelties committed by the Sici lians on the Neapolitans ! Which stories he be lieved much more than those about the Nea politan barbarities. But again, the defender of the gentle FRANCIS 11. and his sbirri gets his answer. Lord WODEHOUSE " deemed it only just to General GARIBALDI to say that the official accounts received from officcers of her MAJESTY'S navy and from our agents abroad stated that the GENERAL had behaved with the utmost generosity and humanity, and that he had taken every possible means to prevent such excesses as were always ' inciden tal to a state of revolution." Formerly every Court used to maintain a " fool " to divert Royalty and its attendants, and things were often brought to Royal cars by their jests which otherwise could never have reached them. Ii might he worth while for all the oppressors in Europe to keep their man in the English Parliament, if they could get him there ; since he would draw out for them plain speeches, which would tell them a little more than they would learn from the adulators who surround them, MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The markets for foreign and colonial produce during the last few days have not shown much activity. A fair business, however, has been done in sugars, the finer descriptions having advanced about 6d. per cwt. Tea has been in steady demand, at full rates. In coffee the transactions have been on a limited scale, and prices have slightly given way. Rice has been exceedingly dull and at lower values ; and in spices, drugs, and saltpetre the deal ings have been to a moderate extent. Tallow has continued inactive, quotations showing a heavy tone for both present and forward delivery. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, business continued rather active, and prices were unaltered. The sales were 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a very ani mated appearance, and quotations were again higher. Although the rates of discount continue firm, the market has asssumed a quieter aspect, and the pay ment of the dividends, which will commence next Monday, is expected to lead to increased easiness. The inquiries for commercial purposes are not likely to increase at present, the accounts from all parts of the country reporting continued dulness. The market for Public Securities continues in a quiet. state, very little business being transacted either for money or account. A few dealings have taken place at previous rates, Consols being 931 for the 10th inst. During the next few days the settlement will occupy the attention of the dealers and brokers. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 931 2; India Loan is 104/ ; ditto 5 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 961 ; ditto 5 per Cent., 102, being steady ; but the Debentures have improved to 962; Exchequer Bills are par to 4s. prem. At the meeting of the East and West India Dock Company, just held, the usual dividend of 3 per cent. for the past half-year was declared. A moderate amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices are well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 773 to 78 ; ditto New, 601 to 611. Spanish are firm at 49 ; ditto Deferred at 40/ ; Brazilian 5 per Cents. at 991 ; and Russian 3 per Cents. at 64 ; ditto 41 per Cents. are flat at 93, and Dutch 21 per Cents. are marked 651,. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1/ prem. ; and the Universal, 1 prem. The market for American securities during the past week has been dull.

The Foreign lines are at almost nominal values, the only dealings being in Great Luxembourg at 6-7, 7. The transactions in the Colonial Market have been limited.
