A noble head of General Garibaldi has just been 1 drawn by Otto Leyde and lithographed by Fr. 12 Schenck, of Edinburgh. The likeness has been 0 1 , preserved by draughtsman and lithographer sstt through continual reference to a medallion- st( bust, and a photograph. There are not many Stl in this country who will fail to look with st profound interest upon this truthful effigy st of the dauntless and romantic adventurer. It is, et in simple truth, a noble head—just the very ideal head one might have imagined could alone grace the form of the daring condottiere. It is right si that we should here add the simple intimation, 51 that the proceeds from the sale of this portrait are to be handed over to the Garibaldi Committee. stu stoci THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

Both red and white J I parcels were less active than the previous week ; neverthe less prices ruled firm, and very few sellers come forward except on higher terms. Barley maintained its previous value, but the inquiry for it was by no means active. Other produce sold without difficulty. Throughout the Continent the wheat trade ha s been ex cited, and large quantities of produce have changed hands ' for shipment to England. In the United Statesboth wheat and flour have commanded more attention. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were only moderate. From abroard the imports wereliberal, vis., 20,605 quarters of whe at. 19,048 barley, 53,281 oats, 1,545 beans, 70 peas, 1,180 linseed, 773 rape seed, 90 sundry seeds, 2,325 sacks and 5,541 barrels of flour. Fresh up from Essex and Kent, only a limited supply of wheat came to hand this. morning ; but the general quality of the samples was good. Selected parcels were in fair re quest, at last Monday's currency ; but low and damp ations. ties were very inactive, at about previous quot Millers generally, owing to a large influx from abroad evinced no disposition to purchase beyond immediate wants, especially as the Talavera wheats are now in ear. There was a slight increase in the show of breign wheat. Importers, however, were very firm in the ir demands ; but the business done was very moderate, at last Monday's prices. Floating cargoes of grain were in demand at extensive rates. The show of foreign barley was large, and the inquiry for most kinds was somewhat restricted at about last week's currency. We have to report a slow sale for all kinds of malt at late quotations. The supply of foreign oats being very large, the oat trade was less active, and, in some instances, prices gave way 6d. per quarter. Beans changed hands freely at the late advance. In the value of peas no change took place, but the de mand ruled steady. The flour trade was tolerably firm at last week's im provement in value. 299 £lO. spot, is selling at 52s 3d to 52s 6d a nd for delivery during the last three months 52s per cwt.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Hill and a Common Jury.) SMITH V. GORRUM—BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. This was an action fa- a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was employed in a wholesale statio er's in Cannon-street, and the defendant was a sorter in the General Post-office. Mr. Hawkins, Q C., was for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., for the defendant. Mrs. Smith said—l reside in Alfred-terrace, Bermondsey. The plaintiff in this action is my dant ter. She is 18 years of age. Before 18.59 I was acquainted with the de feedant's family. The defendant is in the Post-office as a sorter. His father is also in the same situation. Soon after any husband's death, which occurred this year, the defendant c - mmenced to'frequent my house. My daughter was then ender some engagement to a Mr. Addey. He then made a profession of attachment to her, but she said she could not receive it. She told him that she was under a promise to Mr. Addey, who had gone to the Cape, and he said if she (plaintiff) ac cepted him he would soon arrange matters with Mr. Addy when he came back from the Cape of Good Hope. The de fend ant then asked my permission to visit any daughter, and after the 16th of May he visited regularly. Very soon after that he happened to be speaking about his sister being married on the 27th of October, when he said he should like to be married on that day. My daughter went to his sister's wedding. Soon after the marriage of his sister the defendant was taken seriously ill. He wrote a number of letters, all breathing the fondest attachment, and most of them signed "Your ever, affectionate lover." [Several of the letters having been read, the examination was pro ceeded with.] On his recovery he resumed his visits, and the marriage was fixed for the 14th of February. He called on me pre viously to that, when he had put up the banns. He bought the weddir g presents and the ring, and brought them to me and told me to give them to no person befere he gave direc tions. He wished my daughter to leave her situation. She did so, and went on a visit to her grandfather, who is a farmer at Eltham. My daughter returned to London in company with defendant. The day after I noticed a cool ness on his part. My daughter asked him the reason, when he replied his grandfather did not approve of her, and he supposed he must cease paying visits. My daughter said she thought it was cruel on his part to listen to his grandfather after bringing things so closely. He said he must study his grandfather on account of money matters. They both parted very friendly that evening, the defendant requesting my daughter to think nothing of it. Soon after that his soother applied to me for the ring, I refused to give it up, and I told him so when next I saw him on the 2d Jan. After that time he ceased to visit my daughter, and she then became very ill. I went to ascertain the cause, when I saw his mother. My daughter on one occasion after this went out with me, and we met the defendant coming from the Post-office. My daughter, and he went for a short walk, when they returned to me, and he told my daughter to get the wedding-dress made as the ceremony should take place. He told her he would not listen to the persuasions of his family, but that he would go to bed directly he got home, as that would be the only way to prevent their talking to him. (Laughter.) He never came to my house after that. I and my sister went to to see him at the Post-office. I told him that it was very mean conduct, and that it was damageable. I then said, "Do you really intend not to marry my daughter ?" He re plied that he should not. I asked him if there was any fault with her, and he said no. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—My daughter was a tall, handsome girl. She never had a score of lovers. Addey gave my daughter some trifling present. The de fendant is not what you call a penny postma'i—he was a sorter. Defendant asked my daughter to send back Adder's letters and presents. This took place at his grandfather's. He did not positively refuse i;o do as he required. The cir cumstance led to a misunderstanding, but not to a quarrel. He never ordered his letters to be sealed up and sent to Addey's sister. My daughter told me that they had had a tiff about Addey. My daughter told defendant that Addey was a very jealeus man, and that when he came back from the Cape of Good Hope there would be murder when he found she was married. The conversation did not take place during his visit to his grandfather. My daughter never read a letter to me as coming from the defendant, stating that as she set so much store on Addey's gifts he was sure they never could be happy. I know a Mr. Boyle. I never said he was in love with her. I never told him there were two or three persons dying of love for my daughter. I never told him that the foreman of her employer was in that state. (Laughter.) I know he was very anxious to get her. The quarrel, or tiff, took place before the visit to the grand father's. That lam positive of. Miss Strickland, a niece of the witness, gave evidence as to the defendant naming the day of marriage, and also said that ho had told her that his mother intended to give him a house when ho was married. Mrs. Strickland also gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. M. Chambers then, in a very humorous speech, said his learned friend lead entirely failed to make out a case against his unfortunrite client, the penny postman. (Laugh ter.) The lady was a person against whom nothing but what was highly creditable could be said. The jury, he thought, would agree with him, that this was nothing but a youthful lover's quarrel, and certainly that it was not one for severe damages. The quarrel had been occasioned solely by the lady refusing to return the letters of Mr. Addey. It appeared that she shill). shelled with her new lover before she was off with the old, and altogether she had lost both lovers. The result of giving her heavy damage was that Mr. Boyle would come in and say to her, I am foreman, you can be forewoman, haste away to the Wedding. (Laughter.) The result of large damages being awarded was that his parents would certainly have to pay them, as the defendant's salary, as a penny postman, aged about 19 or 20, was but 18s. to 20s. per week. The loss of a marriage with such a public servant—(laughter)—could not be of much importance to the lady, and, as the mother had retained the ring and wedding dress, they would come in useful ; for, as soon as the trial was concluded, Mr. Boyle, who was brimming over with love and affection—(laughter)—would certainly come forward and make her his wife. The learned Judge summed up. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff —damages, POLICE INTELLIGENC.E-(THIS DAI.) THAMES. CAUTION TO SHIPWRIGHTS AND ENGLISH WORN.- gEN.—TRE EMIGRATION TO CHERBOURG.—John Jones, a shipwright, of No. 26, Park-street, Poplar, waited upon Mr. Selfe and stated that he had been to Cherbourg in search of work, in consequence of the reports in circulation here, and had been most grievously disappointed. There was nothing at all doing there, and not an Eng lish shipwright in the place. He saw the British Vice-Consul, who said that the rumour circulated in Eng land that there was work for English shipwrights at Bs. per day in Cherbourg was erroneous—that it was quite false. The Vice-Consul also stated that two Englishmen who had purn fruitless errand had fallen into a state of destitution, and he had - supplea them means of reaching home as distressed British subjects. Mr. Selfe.—When did you go to Cherbourg ? Jones.—Last Thursday week, and I am very sorry I went there. Mr. Selfe.—When did you arrive here ? Jones.—l came home on Friday afternoon, and I felt my duty to come here in consequence of the erroneous im pression that prevails among my countrymen. There are no ships building at Cherbourg, and no work for English shipwrights. Mr. Selfe—You have done quite right in coming here, an d it will save a great many men from breaking up their homes anJ borrowing money to enable them to proceed to Cherbourg. I shall not grant any more passports to work men: to proceed to Cherbourg. Will you be so kind as to leave your name and address f' Jones —Certainly, sir. The magistrate took down the man's name and address, and he then left the court. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The recent dreadful loss of fishing boats belonging to Yarmouth and Lowestoft has cast a great gloom over the eastern Fisheries. Several boats have, however, succeeded during the past week in taking 600 to 700 mackerel each, and these have been sold at 40s. to 455. per 100. The late awful destruction of fish ing boats was attended with the loss of about 200 men, and meetings have been held at bath Yarmouth and Lowestoft to.promote subscriptions in aid of their destitu'e widows and orphans. MRS. PROUDIE'S CONTZRSAZIONE.—Her plan was to sit the people by the ears talking, if they would, or to induce them to show them*elves there inert if no more could be got from them. To accommodate wits. chairs and sofas as many as the furniture of her noble suite of rooms wou ld allow, especially will& the two chairs and padded bench against the wall in the back closet—the small inner drawing-room, as sho would call it to the clergymen's wives from Barsetshire—and to let the others stand a b ou t upright, or " group themselves," as she des. cribed it.

SPORTING NOTES. There will be plenty of good racing in Hampshire this week. The Odiham meeting, which commences to-morrow, has six items for decision, two of which close this evening. For the Manor Plate, three-quarters of a mile, thirty- seven horses have been handicapped, and I shall select Duplicity or Codicil to furnish the winner. The Odiham Handicap, one mile and a half, has twenty two subscribers, and Mavourneen or Kinnersley appear the best to stand on. . __ The Dogmersfield Park Stakes has twenty-three two year-olds engaged, and those, to my thinking, with the best chance of success appear to be Flotilla, Duplicity, and Malta, in the order named. In the Hurtsbourne Stakes appear the names of several dark two-year-olds, but Big Ben, despite his 71bs. penalty, shall do battle for me. The Bibury Club meeting has only as yet three events closed—the Handicap, the Bibury Stakes (gentlemen riders), and the Champagne Stakes. For the Bibury Handicap of 5 sovs. each with 50 added, one mile and a-half, Worcester, 6 yrs, 1 Ist ; Wanderer, 5 yrs, lOst 11b ; and Norton, 3 yrs, Oat Clb, shall rcpresent my interest in the order named. The handicap for two and three-year-olds bas 17 subs; and the most trustworthy amongst the two-ycar-olds are Flotilla and Cronstadt. The Champagne Stakes generally brings out some dark horse, and to the Danebury stable or Shillelagh I leave the race. Stockbridge, which commences the day following, always attracts an aristocratic company, but at present I will merely remark that th© Amport Handicap is likely to fall to Northern Light or Ariadne, and the Stewards' Plate to Rupee, Rattlebone, or llouravieff in the order named. I shall refer more fully to their respective chances on Wed nesday. Monday, Juno 18. A FRESH MAN. SOUTILERN ITALY, The following is from a letter dated Ancona, June 3:— Ancona is a citycontaining 35,000 inhabitants, with a capi tal port, and a flourishing trade at ordinary periods. It was formerly fortified, but its defences are now in ruins, and a few discharges from a siege battery would be suffi cient to scatter them to the ground. M. de Lamoriciere comes very frequently to Ancona, which he seeks to con vert into a place of refuge, where the Papacy might defend itself with its own forces; far from the humiliating protec tion of those Frenchmen whom the Holy Father and the Cardinals execrate as the instigators .of all the evils that have befallen them lately. When questioned on the sub ject by the General, the Pontifical engineers demanded no less time than three years to repair and complete the forti fications of the city. Where will Pius IX., the Court of Rome, and Lamoriciere be in three years at the rate at which things are at present progressing? It was, there fore, necessary to give up the project, to say nothing of the money which would probably have been wanting pending the progress of the works. The Papal recruits from:Germany, by way of Trieste, are disembarked at Ancona. Every two or three days:a steamer lands some forty Germans, Austrian sol iers in uniform, or volunteers. They are placed in an old convent for a while, and when a sufficient number has arrived they are clothed and despatched to the military depots of the interior, where th 3 battalions of the new army are at present in course of formation, though very slowly. These defenders of the Holy Father are as much the terror of the good citizens of Ancona as of the country they tra verse on their way to their destination. They are either sort, as I said before, be the Austrian Government, or they are pal I for by a . fixed bounty, and they permit themselves all kinds of excesses, being sure of impunity. They are, for the most part, ruffians and robbers, and of course utterly devoid of discipline; they think nothing of going into the shops in gangs, evn in broad daylight, and taking possession of whatever suits their fancy, saying, on quitting with their spoil, "The Pope will pay." A great number of disturbances have taken place through these desperadoess and several murders. The Pontifical gend armes will not interfere in these matters, neither will they listen to complaints, so that the people are exasperated to the:last degree, and prepared for anything. I was present to-day at the arrival of thirty-five volun teers of the above description, and I can assure you I should not be anxious to meet any of them on a lonely road or on the skirt of a wood. It is the intention of the authorities to form with these recruits certain battalions of Chasseurs a pied, the regi ments of the line still remaining composed of Romans and Swiss. The following is an account of the actual troops at the disposition of Lamoriciere, and the different localities where they are stationed : At Pesaro (frontier of Romagna), 2,500 men; Urbino (between Pesaro and Ancona), 1,000 men ; Ancona, 2,500 men; Gabble (beyond Ancona and the Romagna), 1,500 men ; Perugia (frontier of Tuscany), 2,000 men; Macerate (on the Adriatic), 1,500; in the depots of Fossonbrone, Fano, Sinigaglia, Spoleto, and Terni, 2,000 men • at Rome, 2,000 men ; total, 15 ' 000 men. Of these 15,000 men, 10,000 at least aro Pontifical subjects, slovenly, cowardly, and undisciplined. They would be sure to turn their backs at the first report of a musket ; 5,000 of them are Austrians, good soldiers enough if they were not mere machines, without a sentiment of loyalty; moreover, they are particularly discontented at the present time. Those of the foreigners who had sold themselves for a bounty were, it seems, promised 50 crowns ; they have only received 10, and they will never get the rest. All those, moreover, who were engaged cr sent by Austria were assured a daily pay of 20 baiocchi and two good meals. At present they give them but 4 baiocchi and one meal per day, and that but a very sorry one. It may easily be believed that these men are discontented. Indeed, they do not hesi tate to call out aloud that they will serve as they are paid. The Government certainly can n not cout upon them. As to the thousands of gallant Irish of whom the clerical organs have boasted so loudly, they must be re duced to 68 individuals. I saw them in the cloisters of the convent where they are at pr, sent quartered ; they are half composed of the sons of families in easy circumstances, who have been fanaticised by the priests, and of poor pea sants, enrolled for a bounty. The joke is, that no one knows what to do with them. The poor Patlanders do not, of course, understand a syllable of German or Italian, while the Italian officers and authorities do not speak a syllable of English—they are hardly expected to be conversant with Irish. The poor fellows seem already awfully bored with their position and their national " green flag." As for the Germans, they tire, for the most part, Austrian sol diers detached from the Imperialearmy who have arrived here with their own officers, and with their organisation. complete. The authorities here openly boast that they are sent directly by Austria. These troops were to do wonders, and the Romagnas were, of course, to be immediately reconquered ; but the scantiness of the pay has considerably modified the general enthusiasm. A glance at the present financial position of the Papal States will soon show to what an extent the Holy Father must be embarrassed. While his territories remained in tact, he was in the receipt of a revenue of;twenty-two mil liens of crowns. Since the loss of tke Romagnas the re ceipts have fallen to eight millions of crowns—a clear de ficit of no less than fourteen millions on the former revenue. In the meanwhile the expenses have been. triplgd, and principally from the creation of an army with its iiiilitary materiel. The King of Naples and the Princes of Germany sent sums of money to Rome; an example followed by some of the clergy of France, Belgium, and Ireland. These con tributions were, however, of little or no avail towards filling up such a bottomless gulf of need. The political crisis is imminent, and in a little while the irresistible movement of Italian independence will have swept away every vestige of the Pope, his car dinals, his g enerals, and his army. The approaching financial crisis is amply sufficient for the pur pose, however, if impatient patriotism will only take the trouble to wait. Poor Lamoriciere,ywho in this wretched service has lost both his personal and his military reputation, has been the victim of Governmental misrepresentations of the most grotesque kind. lie was assured by the Vatican that a depot of no less than 30,000 muskets was at his disposal at Ancona. He found but barely 6,000 antiquated and almost unserviceable weapons, half of which would burst at the very first discharge. These have been supplied to the s,ooo*Austrians. The small old-fashioned cannon of the Pope's army are neither mounted on wheels nor have they any regular artillery horses. They are now buying lgoken-down horses from the peasants, and they are dragged along like carts about a farm. Millions are required for the purchase of what is still absolutely necessary--and where obtain them ? They have neither ambulances, hospitals, nor medicines. A fine army, truly, to start upon a campaign, and do honour to the general in command. As for myself, without being a Garibaldi, I would under take, with a regiment of French Zouaves, or of Piedmon tese,Bersaglieri, to teach the united forces of his Holiness the best use of their legs; and this is the general opinion of the inhabitants. The unhappy Lamoriciere has upon several occasions -erentseseanes ,p....24,2,17._ of A nrnna, Tlrbann, PAcstrn, nail Peru gia. Imagine his stupefaction, on attempting to review the troops, to find that they could not even march in step. It was hopeless ; from the superior officers to the lowest corporal, the same crass ignorance prevailed. After having called from the ranks and interrogated a num ber of the officers, the poor General retired, confused, depressed, and crestfallen. The citizens who were present at this melancholy scene were heartily amused. The same state of things awaited the champion of 'the Papacy at all the garrisons he visited. Everywhere he met with anarchy, disorder, and organised robbery. Lamoriciere, not tknowing, or not believing, that the superior officers and employes of this service robbed the State by unanimous accord in conjunction with the priestly governors, was at first furious. He ordered pernishm.ents and imprisonments right and left. None of these results, how7ever, occurred'; the offenders whom he sought to displace or cashier retained their ranks and places in spite of him, and continued their wholesale peculation in the old style. Lamoriciere was recommended not to meddle in what did not concern him; and this is why, even if he could obtain the millions he requires, the Pope would nevec have an efficient army. One fact alone will prove to what an extent the govern ment is incorrigible, and bent on these malpractices. There is at present at Pesaro a superior officer of the polio', named Salvi, a Tuscan, who fled from his country under a clierge of robbery. This Salvi, with the connivance of the P o ntifical Prefect, Bella, invented an ingenious method of destroying those who were suspected or in any way dis pleasing to him. He had compromising letters written, and addressed to the persons he intended to inculpate, pur posely dropped in the street. , The police agents, properly instructed. watched till some unsuspecting passenger picked them up. The passenger was of coarse questic nee, and then the person to \vhom the letter was supposed to be addressed was at once arrested, and from that time at the mercy of the authorities. m o N r i u e i r e a r b e e , rle 4 s s e t i h u e s r t a: tow.n c i t e h s :o p f r 0 t o b is i s k l i ie id w w a were r j e ll cis e t x l3 p t, : i s nd e di d si gi t un o ias l si , lo.ll - ; m he sent for Salvi, an d. aunouneg his trerne la f it , threatened him with all the ve n g eance of the Court o OM% Nevertheless, Salvi retains Iris post, and persecutes the inhabitants morn than ever.

In conclusion, I can declare, as far as regards the two cities I have lately resided in, Pesaro and Ancona, that the people only exist in the hope of an approaching and radical change.

The Racing Times says :—Notwithstanding the severe week the bookmakers experienced at Hampton, there was a very showy muster both at the City clubs and the West end places of meeting, not even excepting the park. Business was somewhat brisk, and the backers of horses really seemed to have gained courage by their late suc cesses, and were both willing and anxious to renew their speculations on forthcoming events with spirit. We heard of several members of both clubs who had been considerable losers, when the limited amount; of sport that the " Hurst" produced is remembered. Several changes in the prices of the different animals engaged in coming struggles, more particularly in the larger and earlier events to be decided, were manifest. The Stockbridge Meeting engrossed considerable attention, the Stewards' Plate being the principal betting race, to • gethor with the Amport Stakes. Mouravieff was decidedly first favourite for the Stewards' Plate, as little as 4 to 1 being taken. Rupee and Northern Light were each sup ported at 8 to 1. Seclusion, Cheesecake, and Gridiron were backed fora little at 10 to 1 each. For the Amport Stakes, John Day's two, Atiadne and Blue Ruin, were decidedly the leading favourites, 5 to 1 being taken about each. Donizetti, Underhand, and Forager we:e supported at 10 to 1 each. The Northumberland Plate: 5 to 1 could have been ob tained about anything. Ben Webster was not in such force as he has been, but' on the other hand Butterfly was evidently the selected, about whom 7 to I would have been taken to money, but the longest offer was 6 to 1. Gladiolus, her stable companion, declined in price as the other improved in the market. Edmund Kean, although supported on Saturday at as little as Bto 1, was to-day, at the opening of the rooms, at 100 to 6, but before the break up of the members 12 to 1 was the highest offer. For the Leger Thormanby would have been backed at 3 to 1, but it was net obtainable ; 7 to 2 was offered against the Wizard, and Buccaneer was quietly backed at 100 to 6, and will, we doubt not, see a much shorter price than that. That there was great spirit shown in the support some horses received, the prices at which they left off will show, which were as follows STOCKTON STEWARDS' PLATE. 4to 1 agst Mouravieff 8 to 1 agst Rupee Bto 1 agst Northern Light 10 to 1 ags: seclusion 10 to 1 agst Cheesec. - .lce 10 to 1 agst Gridiron AMPORT STARES. sto 1 agst Ariadne sto 1 agst Blue Ruin Bto 1 agst Donizztti 10 to 1 agst Underhand 10 to 1 agst Fora ;• r NORTIMMBERLAND PLATE. sto 1 agst Ben Webster 7to 1 agst Butterfly (taken freely) 10 to 1 agst Wildman 10 to 1 agst Gladiolus 11 to 1 agst Edmund Kean 12 to 1 agst Baron Parke 15 to 1 agst Bivouac 15 to 1 agst Underhand 20 to 1 ggst Volunteer ST.

A number of petitions against the abolition of Church rates were presented. SECOND READINGS, Lord REDESDALE moved the following resolution, viz. :—That this house will not read any bill a second time after Tuesday the 17th of July, except bills of aid and sup ply, or any bill in relation to which the house shall have resolved, before the second reading is moved, that the cir cumstances which render legislation on the sub ject of the same expedient are either of such recent occurrnce or real urgency as to render the imm‘diqte consideration of the same necessary. The noble lord thought it would be of great convenience if the resolution was agreed to, and he should be very glad to hear from the noble earl opposite that the 17th July would be convenient to Government. Earl GRANVILLE said he should offer no objection to the resolution of the noble lord, His lordship made some further observations, but in a tone of voice quite inaudible in the gallery. The resolution was agreed to. Lord BROUGHAM said be wished to put a question to the Lord Pres'dent (Earl Granville), but was met with loud cries of " Order of the day." Lord REDESDALE rose to order; it was of the greatest importance that their lordships should adhere strictly to the rules of the house. The noble and learned lord was clearly out of order in putting the question. Earl GRANVILLE said the noble lord;had given him notice of his intention to put the question, and he was ready to give him the answer. The noble lord, however, would have ample opportunity of putting the question pre sently. Lord BROUGHAM said it was in the power of any peer at any time to put a question to the Government by moving the adjournment of the house. Thd was the rule, and he could insist on putting his qucstionby making that motion. However he would put his question presently. CONDITION OF CATHEDRALS. Lord LYTTLETON asked her Majesty's Government it they intended to bring in any measurefounded on the re port of the commission for inquiry into the condition of cathedral and collegiate churches (1852), or to report of the se'ect committee of the House of Lords for inquiry into the deficiency of means of spiritual instruction and of places ;of divine worship in the metropolis and populous places. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the recommendations of the commission would nearly necessitate a new eccle siastical code. He did not think, that being the case, that the noble lord could expect him at the present time, the 18th of June, they would legislate upon the question. The noble lord wished to ',know whether there was any hope of anything being done next session; he could not, how ever, give him any promise that any steps would be taken then. With respect to the latter part of the question, the recommendations of the commissioners had been introduced into a measure at present before the other house, and a short bill bearing on the subject had also bean introduced by the Home Secretary.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were limited as to number, and very deficient in quality. The high quotations demanded by the salesmen checked business, hence nearly all breeds moved off slowly at irregular quotations. The best Scots wore mostly sold at 5s 8d per Sibs. The supplies of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, crosses, and short horns ; from other parts of England 500 various breeds, and from Scotland 80 Scots and crosses. Compared with Monday last there was a considerable falling off in the show of sheep. Most prime breeds changed hands steadily at full prices, the best Downs having sold at 5s Gd per Sibs ; otherwise the mutton trade was in a slug gish state on former terms. There was a moderate inquiry for lambs—the supply of which was tolerably good—at late rates, viz., from Os 4d to 7s per 81bs. Although the supply of calves was ostensive the veal trade ruled firm at 2d to 4d per Sibs above the currencies realised on this day se'nnight. We had a slow inquiry for pigs, yet prices ruled firm.

SEEDS. • A good business is doing —in linseed, at very full prices, and the market for rapeseed contin ies extremely firm, at advancing prices.

FARQUHAR a number of re turns connected with East India (Prize Property) were ordered. DISTRESS IN IRELAND. Mr. P. HENNESSY gave notice that he would diaw the attention of the house to the distress prevailing in Erris and other parts of Ireland. THE GARIBALDI FUND. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any notice had been taken of a statement made in Saunders' s Newsletter of the sth of June, to the following effect :—" We understand that our excellent Viceroy has subscribed to the Garibaldi fund now being raised in this country. The lists are kept secret," &c. &c. ; and whether the statement was true that the representative of the Bri tish Crown in Ireland had personally contributed, either secretly or publicly, towards such fund ? Mr. CARDWELL said that the statement was entirely unfounded, and according to his belief it had not appeared in Saunders's Newsletter, or in any other paper. (A laugh.) A portion of the paragraph alluded to by the hon. member was published, but it had reference to a former viceroy of Ireland, and not to his noble friend the present Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland. NAVAL FORCES ENGAGED IN THE CHINESE WAR. Mr. COCHRANE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay on the table a despAtch from Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, dated Dec. 14, 1838, in which the admiral urged the propriety of givinx aiditional pay and allowances to the naval forces employed in the Chinese war, in conformity with the precedents of the war o' 1812 and of the Burmese war? Mr. J. RUSSELL not being in his place, no answer was yeturned to the question. BILLS RELATING TO THE IMPOSITION OR REPEAL OF TAXES. Mr. BEAMISH asked the right hon. member for the University of Cambridge when the report of the cora , mittee, appointed on the 25th of May, to inquire into the practice of each House of Parliament with regard to the several descriptions of bills imposing or repealing taxes, might be expected to be laid upon the table of the house ? Mr. 'WALPOLE said the committee had been unceas ingly employed La the discharge of the duty entrusted to them and had completed their labours, the result of ss hich would be shortly laid before the house. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. HUNT asked the secretary of State for the Hone Depar:ment if he was now prepared to state the intentions of leer Majesty's Government as to the introduction of a measure for the prevention of corrupt practices at elec tions ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that a bill on this subject would to introduced in about a fortnight, but if it was not likely to be passed this session, he would merely bring in a Continu ance Bill, which was necessary, as the present act would expire this session. ANCHORS FOR THE ROYAL NAVY. Viscount RAYNHAM asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty why the description of an:thor reported by the Anchor Committee of 1852 as the most approved, and now used on board her Majesty's yacht the Victoria and Albert, ht d not been generally adopted in the Royal Navy ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that, with very few exceptions, the captains in the navy were opposed to the use of the de scription of anchor in question. PUBLIC BUSINESS. • Lord PALMERSTON moved that upon Friday next, and upon every succeeding Friday during the remainder of the session, orders of the day should have precedence of motions, and that the Government orders should have pre- cedence of any other business on the paper on those days. The noble lord said that, considering the advanced stage of the session, and the amount of important business to be transacted, this course should be adopted in accordance with the practice of the house. OFFICERS PROMOTED FROM THE RANKS. On the motion for going into committee of supply on the Army estimates, Mr. WEVOY moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that she may be graciously pleased to order that those officers in the army who have Leen promoted from the ranks may be allowed to recison their previous servics in the ranks, in the same manner as is now permitted to paymasters and quartermasters, so as to enable them to avail themselves of tho 30th seet ion • tt e Royal Warrant of the 14th October 1858, which regulates till retirement of competent officers in the Army and Ord mnce corps. Col. DUNNE seconded the motion. Mr. S. HERBERT said he did not think the hon. metn • Ler (Mr. INl‘Evoy) did not draw a proper distinction be tween the officers who had been raised -from the ranks in , o der to fill situation cf paymaster, uartermaster, and those who were promoted without any such object. Im poriant qualifications were required for the offices in ques tim, which very few privates in the army possessed. Officers promoted from the ranks were not compelled to undergo an examination which was required of civilians desirous of en tering the army. The right hoc. gentleman then entered into details to show that officers raised from the ranks had different other advantages. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. D. SEYMOUR drew the attention of the house to the position and the pay of the civil assistants employed upon the Ordnance Survey. The hon. and learned member entered into a statement to show that the body to which he referred were not treated properly. Mr. S. HERBERT denied that the class in question bad auk just ground for complaint, and explained at some length the position which the civil assistants in the Ord nance Survey occupied ; after which the subject dropped. ENLISTMENT FOR THE POPE'S SERVICE. Mr. E. JAMES called the attention of the house to the fact of the enlistment now going on in Ire land to furnsh the Popo with troops in Italy, and to ask the Government what measures they have adopted or intend to adopt, and what official communication they have received upon the subject. The hon. and learned member said the matter to which he alluded was exciting great attention in the public mind, not only in this country and Ireland, but in Europe generally. lie contended that this enlistment was a flagrant violation of an act of Parlia ment, and while disclaiming an intention to deride the re ligions enthusiasm of any class, he thought it was impera tive on the part of the Government to furnish satisfactory information in regard to this subject. Mr. CARDWELL, having referred to the proclamation issued in Ireland on the discovery that on the pretence of being hired for employment on a railway in AlL:one per - sons were engaged for the service of the Pope, said in guides were made, but in no single instance had Govern ment received such information as would justify them in . instituting a prosecution. [LEPT SITTING.I THE VOLUNTEER REVIE fV. (From the Army and Yavy Gazette.) The great Volunteer inspection by her Majesty in Hyde Park on Saturday next will not only be the most brilliant sight of the season, but the most impressive witnessed during the present genera tion. The arrangements are in the hands of Col. M'Murdo, to whose judgment and energy her Ma jesty and the public may look forward with the utmost confidence for a successful spectacle, and about 25,000 Volunteers will be under arms on the occasion. The formations and movements to be gone through will be of necessity very simple, as the most experienced troops to the ;lumber we have mentioned could not hope to go through any com plicattd or elaborate manoeuvres within the avail able space in Hyde Park. There will be no firing or marching past in slow time. The general ar rangements as regards the position of the specta tors will be exactly similar to those made at the first presentation of the Victoria Cross by her Ma jesty. The Volunteers will be drawn up facing Park-lane in a line of contiguous battalion columns- The general arrangements of the brigades must, to a certain extent, depend upon the regiments likely to arrive from the provinces, but, as regards the corps belonging to tho metropolis and its vicinity, the following will be the order adopted The whole metropolitan force will be formed into 20 battalions, each numbering from 500 to 1,200 men. They will be divided into five brigades, com manded respectively by the Duke of Wellington (Victoria Rifles), Colonel Hicks (London Rile Brigade), Lord Ranelagh (South Middlesex), Lord Elcho (London Scottish), Colonel Tulloh (Wool wich).
