It appears by the last accounts from Australia, that the advices received by the Melbourne Meat- Preserving Company respecting the sale in London of their tinned meats had given very great satis faction throughout ;,he country, and that in conse quence it was confidently expected the various boiling -down establishments will have factories for similarly preserving and shipping to Europe the large quantities of meat hitherto wasted and destroyed by the process of boiling down the stock to extract the tallow. At one establishment near Ballarat 180,000 sheep were boiled down for tallow during the past 18 months, and the mutton de troyed by the process is estimated at 1,800,0001 b. Weight, which, if preserved, might have been sold ja Europe for £41,000.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, July 15. We are in hourly expectation of An Imperial decree appointing a new Ministry and reconvening the Corps Legislatif. It is generally agreed that the Emperor will yield to public opinion, and abrogate the prorogation, which meets with no support in any quarter. As to the Ministry, all is as yet conjecture ; but it is likely that the list I sent you a day or two ago will be found pretty near the mark. The only point of importance next to the re tirement of M. Rouher is the question whether the Third Party will consent to take office. Sp far MM. 011ivier and Buffet, the leaders of the party, obstinately refuse. It is asserted, and very plausibly, too, that none of the Moderates will accept a seat in the Cabinet unless the Emperor dissolve the Corps lAgislatif and have it elected again, without any interference on the part of the prefects— without auy official candidates in fact. It is difficult to see how they could consistently come to any other decision. The reforms, though liberal for the Emperor, are not liberal enough for their pro fessions. Probably you will get the list of the new Ministry by the time this is in type. The Liberte says that M. Segris (Third Party) has been summoned to Saint Cloud ; but he will take office only cyri condition that at least five of the Moderates take port folios with him. It is certain that Prince Napoleon bas played an Im portant part in the events of the last few days. He much desires M. Emile 011ivier to enter the Cabinet ; but it is very doubtful whether the latter will do so. The Temps, in a leader on the prorogation, says that all hope of constitutional government is vain so long as any politicians of the coup d'etat school remain at the head of affairs. Here we have had a new and reformed regime inaugurated by an arbitrary Act. The Emperor must make a clean sweep of his old advisers, and start business afresh with politicians who can comprehend the new order of things. . _ We have indeed fallen upon strange times. A few weeks ago the man who would prophesy that the Pays and the Public would at any time, or upon any pretext, condemn an Imperial act would have been laughed at ; but they both do this to-day. The prorogation of the Corps Legislatif is soundly condemned by these two ultra-Imperialist papers. The Public says that the Emperor's message leaves the country in expecta tion ; the prorogation is a fault which holds it in dis quietude. The Pays says that it is neither reasonable nor proper to atop the session whilst the work for which it was specially convened is unfinished. To cut:as it were the Chamber in two, leaving fifty-five districts without representatives, is "regrettable, imprudent, and unjust." The Temps asks if it is not one of the signs of the times to find official and Imperialist papers writing in this style. I am told that the senators are in a terrible fright. The idea of granting so much liberty seems to them prepos• terous, and they fear that one of the first results of the reforms which they have to arrange will be to diminish the power and alter the constitution of their own body. I need scarcely explain that the reforms are to be sub. mitted to the Senate, which will settle all matters of detail. A mistake was committed by the Ttmes, in a leader on the Emperor's Message, which may produce a wide spread impression of error. The Times assumed that the Corps L6gislatif would not be granted the power of electing its own President and Vice-Presidents. It will in future have this power, and a highly-esteemed conces sion it is. The Tillie,' fell into error by mistaking "Le Bureau," which is a general term for all the officers of the House—President, Vice-President, Secretaries, and Ques tors--for"leshureaux,"which means simply the nine com mittees into which the whole number of deputies are divided, and which decide upon the propriety or otherwise of questions and upon election returns. A man was lately sentenced to three months' imprison ment for striking a sergent-de-ville in the late Paris riots. The sentence was appealed against yesterday. An Imperialist deputy who defended the prisoner put in an extraordinary plea in his behalf. He said that the charge of complicity in the riots was altogether against the prisoner's antecedents, for his father had been one of the most energetic supporters of the official candidate in his native circumscription. In fact, so vigorously had he worked on behalf of the Government representative, that the defeat of M. Eugene Pelletan, the Republican, was not a little owing to his exertions. The court did not see the force of this plea. The times are too Liberal for such doctrines to prevail. The Imperial Procureur like wise appealed against the sentence, on the ground that it was too light, and it was accordingly increased to five months. A narrow escape from burying alive recently occurred near Dijon. A man of Bouhey had, from over indulgence in drink, fallen into a state of lethargy so complete that he was believed to be dead. Preparations were made for the funeral, and his son was telegraphed for to Paris. The man was laid out, the tapers lighted, and the friends of the supposed deceased came to pay their farewell visit. One woman, however, remarking that one of the arms was hanging down, took it up to replace it on the bed, when at 'the touch the corpse was at once galvanised into life, opened its eyes, and looked round. 'The relatives were horribly frightened, but the man speedily came round, and is now recovering. His father was once nearly buried whilst in a state of coma. MARKE7 S-2 IHS DAY.

From Flushing he was sent to Rotterdam and de livered to the British Consul, who set him at liberty. Mr. Lamb thereupon took up Lis lodgings at the llotel Vorhaeren, and all the endeavours of the English Lutho rities to arrest Lim proved ineffectual. In tho rneantiruo, however, some disguised policemen arrived from England, engaged quarters in the came hotel, and succeeded in mak ing Mr. Lamb's acquaintance. Various excursions were proposed and agreed to, and on Tuesday morning Mr. Lamb and his new friends walked together along the riverside till they arrived at the spot whore the English steamer 'Water loo was lying ready to start for London.

Without making any further ob servations the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat. Mr. DISRAELI, who was received with loud cheers from his supporters, complained of the brief manner in which the right hon. gentleman had announced tae inten tions of the Government with respect to the amendments made to the bill in the other house. It appeared to him that the intention of the right hon. gentleman was to ad vise the house generally to entirely disagree with the amendments made by the House of Lords. He thedght that such a course was most objectionable, the more espe cially as the right hon. gentleman had deviated most mate rially from his abstract principles ; and the question for the house to determine was which was the more satisfactory the deviation to which he had alluded or the amendments that had been made in another place. He thought the first and most important division was that which would be taken on the first amendment, that on the preamble ; and he hoped that the decision come to would prevent hon gentlemen on his side troubling the house more than was necessary. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE then proceeded to move that the house disagree to the amendment of the preamble. The concurrent endowment, of which there had been so much talk of late, was not the plan or policy which had received the sanction of any great statesman. The idea of Mr. Pitt was the creating a real Roman Catholic Hierarchy, precisely similar to that of the Established Church, endowed and controlled by the State, and this certainly was not the concurrent en down,ent that was proposed now. The concurrent endowment now put forth was something en tirely new—(loud cheers) —and was altogether a piece of political superstition. (Loud cheers.) After the House of Commons deliberately considered the whole provisions of the measure they placed the preamble to the bill as the seal to the act, and that after the most solemn and momentous deliberation—(hear)—and that being so by that deliberate act they were entirely prevented from giving their assent to what was called concurrent endow ment. The right hon. gentleman then alluded to the dif ferent position which members of that house occupied by the voice of the country, a position, he said, the House of Lords knew no more about than a man in a balloon. (Loud laughter.) He then went on to allude to the importance of keeping the preamble of the bill, such as it was when it left that house, as it was, in fact a solemn covenant with which ho hoped the house would say they were not prepared to tamper. (Loud cheers.) The right hon. gentleman said what they proposed now with respect to the surplus was, that in the event of her Majesty in Council issuing an order for the appro priation of any part of the surplus before any further legislation should take place, such order should be laid before Parliament if it be sitting within 14 days, or if not sitting within 14 days of its assembling, and that such order shall not come into force until it has been considered by Parliament. He entreated the house after they had consumed two years of the life of the nation in the discussion of this great and solemn question not to hand down to those who had to come such a great subject of contention, or such fuel for future conflagration when Irish matters were under discussion as to the disposal of the surplus. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving that the house dis agree with the amendment to the preamble. Mr. DISRAELI reduced the matter to a very simple issue—whether there was any satisfactory proposition made to the house for the appropriation of the surplus of the funds of the Irish Church, and whether it was not better to allow the question to rest until both Houses of Parliament had had more time to consider the whole ques tion. The amendment of the Lords to the preamble—re serving as it did to the Houses of Parliament the right to apply the funds of the Church as they might hereafter direct—was to his mind pregnant with good sense, and eminently deserving of adoption. The house then divided, and the words moved to be re-inserted in the preamble by Mr. Gladstone were so re inserted by 346 to 222 votes. The other portions of the Lords' amendments to the clause giving residences to the clergy and ministers of the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian communities wore re jected, and the debate was adjourned till this day. The orders on the paper were rapidly run through, and the house adjourned at an early hour this morning. Bank of England Returns.

Briston, 51, cellarman, who are charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the property stolen from the shop of Mr. Toren, under the railway arch at London-bridge, an application was made to lot the case stand over till next session. The application was granted. Mr. Besley said that jewellery to the value of .£2,250 was stolen from the premises, and only a small portion had been recovered. The case of Green and Simpson was also petitioned. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT. Mr. Brierly, the barristtr, came this morning into Court in an excited state, and interfered in the middle of a case. Chief-Justice Bovill asked what application he had to make to the Court? Mr. Brierly said his lord ship on the previous day had acted like another Judge Jeffries, and had caused him to be grossly ill-treated by by being removed from the court. All that he wished him to do was to say that he had acted hastily. Chief-Justice Bovill said he could not allow the public time to be wasted in this manner, and the learned gentleman must be required to leave the court. Some very large stones that had been found in Mr. Brierly's wig box were here shown to the learned judge, who inquired of Mr. Brierly what was his:object in having possession of such dangerous missilsa? Mr. Brierly said ho carried to protect himself, and con stant attempts were made to murder. He was then pro ceeding with great violence to address the court, but the Chief Justice told him if he did not desist he should com mit him. Mr. Brierly then left the cow t. BOURSE ?
