At length, when we are in view of the close of the session, when its last days are rapidly approaching, and election addresses and the selection of candi dates are engrossing every one's attention, Sir CHARLES WOOD condescends to bring forward his Indian Budget. The result was what might have been very easily foreseen, and was perhaps not dis agreeable to a Minister who is not very fond of criticism or opposition. The proposed resolutions were passed in a house of six or eight members, and questions of vast practical importance, affecting millions of English subjects, were disposed of by half-a-dozen wearied politicians as a tedious matter of necessary form. Great complaints are made of the lack of interest felt by Englishmen not directly connected with India in the affairs of that country, but there is certainly not much disposition in official quarters to encourage or increase whatever interest exists. The end of a session, when men are occu pied with other matters, and when the political ex citement of the campaign has died away into the regular routine work that must be got through, is not an epoch when Mr. GLADSTONE'S own Budget would be listened to with much favour. It would, no doubt, from our immediate concern in it, attract a larger house, but it would scarcely be brought forward at such a time by a Chancellor who wished to make it one of the pro minent features of the session. But, in point Of fact, there is no reason for the unaccount able delay which year after year excites the wrath of the few members who direct attention to it. Seeing that the financial year in India ends on the 30th April, there is no particular argument in favour of the explanation that the Indian finances should be deferred until nearly the 30th of June. _ The statement w as by no means a mere matter of course account, but contained some peculiar features. In the first place, it is noticeable that, rap id as has been the increase of the Indian revenue within the last few years, the expenditure, both pu blic an d private, has more than kept pace with it. It is the fashion of the da y to spend t oo much, and men of easy income seldom rest satisfied until by the exercise of persever ance and in g e nuity they have got themselves involved in mort g a g es, loans, securities, e r costly speculations. Next thing to the pleasure of gaining money a ppears to be th e pleasure of losing, and the one pursuit exercises quite as great a fascination over some men as the other does over their fellows. The same attraction which leads persons to walk along the very edge of a precipice, and to amuse themselves by looking down, draws men to the very verge of ruin, for the excitement apparently of examining what its depths are like. England, more fortunate than her Continental neighbours, has not yet left the safe eleYation or attempted the perilous descent, but her solvency is owing to the immensity of her resources rather than to her national providence or economy. She is like a thriftless landowner who discovers a mine in his estates, whose supply of wealth keeps pace with his utmost extravagance. The commercial enterprise of her people, the mi neral wealth of the country, the wonderful elasticity of her trade, appear to defy a peace expenditure which would have made the War Ministers of a few generations back stand amazed. It now appears that India, in her eagerness for progress, is entering on the same course, and as, however large the surplus at the command of the Chancellor of the British Exchequer, it is very quickly disposed of, so the rapid increase of the Indian revenue has been counterbalanced by an expenditure increasing at the rate of two millions and a quarter annually. It is, however, only fair to remember that we have long arrears of duty to make up in India, and that great expenses are being incurred with reference to rail ways, public works, and a better administration of law and justice. The Civil Service Estimates, as we should call them in this country, must, as Sir CHARLES WOOD reminded the House, be expected to increase rather than to diminish ; and, provided the public service is effi ciently conducted, no one will be disposed to quarrel with their amount. There is no fear either that the revenues of India will not bear an increased drain upon their resources, for the development of the railways and the general improvement of the means of communication throughout the country will facilitate the rapid progress which trade and commerce are already making. The cotton cultiva tion, badly as it has been managed, has brought immense sums into the country, while the success of the tea plantations have given a fresh stimulus to enterprise. The more the attention of the people can be diverted from religious fanaticism and secret conspiracies to the steady employments of industrial life the better it will be for the country, for native and Anglo-Indians alike. The resources of the country are immense, and a very few years of care and at tention have sufficed to develope them to a wonder ful extent. Judicious management will enable the revenue to bear very much heavier burdens than any as yet imposed, but respecting the present sys tem of financial policy there is just now some diffe rence of opinion. Sir C. TREVELYAN, in fulfilment of a pledge given five years ago by his predecessor, Mr. WILSON, has removed the income tax, a re duction of taxation which naturally makes a considerable difference in the income. Sir CHARLES WOOD disapproves of this removal, since the tax is an easy and effective way of raising the public money. There are two sides to this question, and perhaps also two sides to the dispute about the export duties. As a rule, they are no doubt mis chievous and contrary to the spirit of our whole commercial policy of late years. Their imposition is more especially to be regretted just when every encouragement is needed for the development of Indian trade and commerce. Sir C. WOOD has refused to sanction them, and has directed that the duties already levied should be returned. On the other hand, it is urged that Sir CHAS. TREVELYAN was anxious to divide the burden of the expenses incurred on behalf of the public works, and proposed raising a loan of considerable amount, so as to re lieve the present generation froM the sole liability for works of lasting good. Sir JOHN LAWRENCE, objecting to the amount of the loan, proposed to substitute export duties, which the Calcutta Chamber willingly acceded to. Nevertheless Sir C. WOOD was doubtless right in exercising his power of con trolling, though he disclaims any wish of directing, the Indian Finance. Coffee and tea are, as be ob served, but infant cultivations in India, and the imposition of duties would be as unprofitable as im politic. The Indian Secretary has expressed his willingness to consider a well-digested plan for a loan for public works when the actual state of affairs has been fully explained and considered. This would be a better method than any levy of duties, and there is one duty—the tax on malt— which might with advantage be reduced. It must be borne in mind, in the face of all apparent deficien cies, that the public works, which are so costly, are of . a most reproductive nature, and that the present generation, in draining and watering the land, in constructing railways, canals, and highroads, is really bearing the expenses both of the past and the future. There is no ground, in spite of the increas ing expenditure, for any uneasiness respecting the financial prospects of India. The candidates are pursuing their canvassing with diligence, and election speeches seem to be almost too numerous to consider individually. That of Lord A3IBEELEY will doubtless attract some notice in consequence of the extraordinary course which the noble lord pursued on a former occasion, when he seemed unable to make up his mind on any subject of importance, and then arrived at a fortuitous decision in a hurry. Last night, however, to judge from the noble lord's speech to the electors, it would seem as if he was quite de cided, but many may with justice question the depth of that conviction which so suddenly took place. In fact it would have been better taste on the part of the noble lord to have been a little more cautious and circumspect in his advocacy of the new-fangled notions of a £,(3 franchise. On the contrary, however, he preferred to out-Herod Herod in his excitement and enthusiasm for an object the utility of which a short time back he did not recognise. The question is, how much of this new-born ardour arises from a real conviction of the benefits that will accrue to the community from the lowering of the franchise, and how much is due to the anxiety to become a popular candidate. In the name of consistency, and for the dignity of the representation of the people we must protest against such clap-trap canvassing as this and such evident illustration of the doctrines of expediency. Political changes should not thus be introduced, and social and domestic questions of importance should rest upon their own merits and not be supported or countenanced in order to gain the favour of electors or the applause of popular assemblies. Lord AMBERLEY also afforded his hearers the opportunity of learning his opinions on foreign subjects, and his views of American affairs are most extraordinary. He considers that it has been more conducive to the interests of humanity that the war should have gone on as it has done than if it had terminated some time back, which is, indeed, a most remarkable idea, and one the validity of which may well be questioned. " The people of the North have undergone the process of education, and come to see most completely the emancipation of the slaves." They have not been fortunate enough in that " education" to imbibe many of the principles of justice or the sentiments of honour, neither can it be said that the qualities of mercy have been much cultivated. It is really too bad to utter such opinions before an enlightened assembly of Englishmen, and those politicians who think that they will be able to make their partiality for the North generally re ceived and recognised by the community will find themselves very much mistaken in the long run. Mr. BAINES expressed his opinions in a brief ad dress, in the course of which he took occasion to observe that Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill would not have improved the condition of the working classes THE SUN, LONOON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1E65. with respect to the franchise. This is no doubt a very sapient remark, but it may be suggested that it would have been better to take something rather than have nothing. Any reform would have been a step in the right direction, but the real truth of the matter is, that the most zealous partizan on the Liberal side prefers that no remedial measure be adopted unless he can claim some credit for its in troduction. A more short-sighted policy than this cannot well be imagined, and one more calculated to defeat the course of progress and the purposes of improvement. Mr. BAINES has done himself no credit by thus following on the beaten track of selfish and exclusiNe policy. The electors through out the country had better be on the alert, and not suffer themselves to be deceived and cajoled by these specious explanations, for the result of all the zeal of the ministerial side has been that nothing has been effected at all, and it does not require a very clever judge to find out that we should have been better off if the Conservatives had remained in office. The welfare of the community at large has been sacrificed to the inordinate love of place among the Whigs, and their determination to un dertake what they must have known they could not perform. The members for the City of London also ad dressed their constituents last evening, and en deavoured to smooth the way for future contests. It must be confessed that none of the City members do much to distinguish themselves, but, taking all things into consideration, those now sitting appear as good as any that we are likely to have. Mr. CRAWFORD spoke fairly enough on most of the chief topics of interest which at present engross the atten tion of the public. His speech was well received, as, indeed, were those of his colleagues. Baron ROTHSCHILD was represented by his son, who said very properly that his father would be prepared to resign his trust into the hands of the electors, if his health did not improve, as he hoped it might. Con sidering the peculiar circumstances in he which has been placed, it must be generally acknowledged that the Baron has conducted himself with great discretion since his entrance into Parliament. Mr. GOSCHEN declared that since he had been in Parliament no question had possessed greater inte rest for him than that of pauperism, and he would always seek to give his best energies to that subject. The hon. member is quite right in choosing this for his vocation, for too many pass it by as unworthy of their notice, or not of sufficient consequence to engage particular attention. The truth is, that it is a matter which will shortly occupy a great deal of time and trouble that would have been much better bestowed some time previously. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, June 28. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies yester day the debate upon the Alien Bill was resumed. M. Von Humbeck (advanced Left) wished equally with the Minister of Justice that Belgium might not become the rendezvous of factious fo reigners, but it was requisite that peaceable foreigners should find it an inviolable asylum. Whatever might be said, he thought the house ought to reject any arbitrary measure. This was the object of his amendments, which were quite practical. It had been said that they would facili tate the residence in the country of promoters of disorders. Why not, provided they did not recom mence such proceedings here? Foreigners, it was said, might come to advocate annexation, and in cite Belgian workmen to strikes. As for annexa tion, what did that matter so long as the spiri t of the people remained what it was ; as to strikes, they were permitted by the new penal code. The Minister of justice accused the opponents of the bill of forgetting that three interests were at stake—international interest, that of the country, and that of the foreigners—and of only concerning themselves with the last. There was, however, only one great interest at stake, including all the others, and that was the interest of justice. The Govern ment was too much occupied with the duties, and not enough with the rights of Belgium. The speaker concluded by saying that if the Chamber only de sired the revision of the former law of 1835, it ought to refer the amendments to the central com mittee. M. Hymans (Left) protes-,, against the accusa tiion hurled against the supporters of the bill of being actuated by fear, of wishing to give token of their obedience towards a great empire. When in 1856 a member of the Paris Congress demanded that the liberty of the press in Belgium should be restricted, the Belgian Minister replied " Never !" Belgium had not degenerated since then. She had erased from her codes everything betokening a feel ing of hostility towards the foreigner, the last ves tiges of escheating the property of a deceased alien to the Crown (droit d'aubaire), prohibition to the foreigner to enter the civil or military services, &c. The law of 1835 was very moderate in comparison with the acts of foreign legislatures ; with the Eng lish Alien Act, renewed in 1848 ; with the law of Nov. 20, 1849, voted without discussion by the French Legislative Assembly. Again, at Brussels, in 1863, M. Jules Simon, at the closing sitting of the first session of the Social Science Congress, asked that the second session might also be held in Belgium, as being the country where hospitality was best practised, and, nevertheless, while he so spoke, the sword of Damocles, in the shape of the law of 1835, was suspended above his head. Proposed Coalition against Prussia. LEIPZIG, June 27. The Leipziger Abendpost publishes the following article advocating an union of Austria with the Minor German States against Prussia : " The Schleswig-Holstein question is the German question. If Prussia succeeds in carrying out her intentions upon the Eider, she will stretch out her hands with all the more vehement greed towards the Leine and the Fulda. The road from the Fulda leads direct to the Maine and the Neckar, and thence to the Lech and the Isar. " There is no reason to presume that the policy of annexation will once spontaneously halt in its course—will impose upon itself moderation of its own accord. Oa the contrary, hunger will groan with every morsel swallowed, and Upper and Lower Austria will ultimately be incorporated with the mighty realm of the Hohenzollerns with just as much right as Schleswig and Holstein. " We think, therefore, the time has really now come for the non-Prussian Governments to coalesce in counteracting their threatened destruction by common action. " The Schleswig-Holstein question is ordinarily treated as a mere affair of inheritance, people write for or against the Augustenburger, for or against the Oldenburger. But the matter is not by any means so simple, for whether Austenburg or Olden burg becomes Duke of the Duchies, north of the Elbe, their fate is certain ; either will become a Prussian vassal, without or without convention. " Neither the powerful speeches of Deputies nor the resolutions of majorities at the Germanic Diet will be of avail against this vassaldom unless the corresponding force—the requisite number of bayonets—stands ready to back up the resolutions and speeches. Austria alone possesses these bayonets either by herself, or to a still greater ex tent in conjunction with the other Governments faithful to the Confederation. "In whatever way the hereditary question is solved, Austria must remain in the Duchies, for her presence alone affords the inhabitants of those northern marches protection for their rights, and secures to them an equal position within the great German family of States. Austria covers Hanover and Electoral Hesse upon the Lower Elbe, and strikes out of history for ever the idea of dividing Germany upon the line of the Maine. Austria must be maintained upon the Eider in her own interest, as in that of the united fatherland, for in this point the interests of both are identical. When the Middle States have been absorbed in Prussia Austria's turn will come. Naval and Military Inte 'gence. The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief will hold a levde, at 1 o'clock, on Wednesday, the sth of July. Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, K.C.8., gives up the command of the South-West Military District and the Lieut.-Governorship of the garrison of Portsmouth to-day to his successor, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Gco. Buller. Lord W. Paulet succeeds Sir James Yorke Scarlett at the Horse Guards in the offce of Adjt. - Gen. The military invalids and time-expired men, with women and children, brought to England from Madras in the sailing ship Lord Warden were trans ferred from that ship at Spithead yesterday by the military authorities of Portsmouth garrison, the in valids being forwarded to the Victoria Hospital at Netley, and the time-expired men sent on from Portsmouth to the depots of their respective regi ments. The Lord Warden afterwards sailed for the Thames. Rear-Admiral George Elliot, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, next on the list of Rear- Admirals for promotion, has resigned his appoint ment at Portsmouth with the intention of offering himself to the constituency of Chatham as a candi date for their suffrages in the Conservative interest at the ensuing election. Rear-Admiral George Greville Wellesley, C. 8., succeeds Rear-Admiral Elliot as Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard. Capt. Francis Scott, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, Flag Captain to Admiral Sir Michael Sey mour, G.C.8., has issued invitations to a ball on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, on the 6th proximo. She was launched at Chatham in 1765. Port Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, at Devon port, has informed the Mayor of Plymouth that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have learnt through Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador at Paris, that two or three French ships of war will be at anchor in the Sound on the 17th of July, which is the time when the Royal Agricultural Society meet there. On leaving the Sound it is said the French ships will visit the other principal ports in England, while the British ships of war will go round the coast of France. Her Majesty's screw gun vessel Griffon, 5, 80- horse power (nominal), Commander J. L. Perry, was yesterday put out of commission, the crew being paid off in the basin at Sheerness Dockyard, under the superintendence of Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard. The Griffon has been exactly four years in commission, during the whole of which period she has been employed in the suppression of the slave trade on the West African coast, 18 months of which time she was cruising in the Bight of Benin, and the remainder along the southern portion of the coast. The number of prizes taken by her amounted to six, including two large vessels fully equipped for running the slaving blockade, consisting of the Catalina, in the Bight of Benin, and the Venus, off Ambrizetti. One of the other vessels captured had a few slaves on board. The crew during the time the Griffon was in com mission were generally healthy, only five deaths having occurred on board, and one officer having been invalided. On being paid off yesterday the crew were granted six weeks leave of absence. The Griffon goes into the third division of the Chatham steam reserve, and before being again in commission will require very extensive repairs. The Menai, 22, 400-horse power, one of the squadron of wooden steamers standing idle on the building-slips at Chatham Dockyard, has been taken to pieces, and the last of the timbers of her frame have been removed. Those of the timbers which can be made available for that purpose are to be converted for the frame of the new war steamer Blanche, ordered to be laid down on No. 7 slip at Chatham. Ark NWA-' Ort :far. HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, June 29. The Queen drove in the grounds yesterday after noon, and again this morning, accompanied by her Royal. Highness Princess Helena. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise also drove in the home-park, attended by the Hon. Horatio Stopford. Her Majesty held a Council to-day, which was attended by Earl Granville, the Duke of Somerset, Earl Russell, and the Right llon. C. P. Villiers. Earl Granville, the Duke of Somerset, and Earl Russell had audiences of the Queen. Sir Andrew Buchanan, Sir Arthur Magenis, and Sir Henry Howard were severally introduced to her Majesty at audiences by Earl Russell. Mr. Helps, the Clerk of the Council, was in at tendance. Lord Talbot de Malahide and Major-General F. Seymour, C. 8., were the Lord and Groom in Wait ing. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of Wales, attended by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys and Lieut.-Col. Keppel, was present at the review of the household troops in Hyde-park yes terday morning. The Prince of Wales, attended by the Countes of Macclesfield, took a carriage drive. In the evening the Prince of Wales honoured Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston with his com pany at the ball at Cambridge House, Piccadilly. The Prince of Wales at Cambridge House Last night Viscountess Palmerston gave a bril liant ball at Cambridge House, Piccadilly, to meet hig Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The entire range of elegant rooms, six in number, were thrown open on thB occasion, The north drawing-room was prepared for dancing, and in the blue drawing-room adjoining was a choice selec tion of confectionery under the control of Ferdi nand. The principal rooms were tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and admirably illuminated. The company began to congregate at half-past 10 o'clock. The Queen of the Netherlands, attended by Count Rendwyck, Baroness Dedern, and Baroness Babart, arrived at a quarter to eleven o'clock. Viscount Palmerston received her Majesty in the inner hall at the foot of the grand staircase, and conducted her to the entrance to the saloon, where her Ma jesty was met by Lady Palmerston. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by Lieut.-Col. Keppel, arrived at 11 o'clock. The Prince was received, as he alighted, by Lord Pal merston. By the time the Prince of Wales had arrived the rooms contained a large number of visitors, and dancing commenced shortly afterwards. Coote and Tinney's band was engaged, Mr. Coote conducting the orchestra. At the royal supper-table the Prince of Wales sat on the left of the noble hostess; and among those at this table were his Highness the Prince de Tour and Taxis, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess San Arpino, Prince Edward of Saxe - Weimar, the Duchess of Somerset, Maria Mar chioness of Ailesbury, the Earl of Dalkeith, the Countess Apponyi, the Earl Cowper, the Countess Spencer, and Visco ant Sydney. Mr. LAYARD'S address to the electors of Southwark is very much what might have been expected, and displays the hon. mem ber's usual ability, while it also demonstrates his partial view of many things. Of course he ad vocates Lord PALMERSTON'S policy to an extent which materially damages the force of his observa tions. At this juncture the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs has a very invidious task, but it does not make the case better to overdo the praise, and disclaim the censure with too much abruptness. Mr. LAYARD will doubtless find he has some awkward question to answer when the day of reckoning comes and he has to face his constituents. It is to be hoped that he will be able to manage better than he did when in the course of last session he had to meet the re peated inquiries respecting Denmark. He generally lost his temper, and contrived to exasperate every one by his tart answers, and abu sive style of rhetoric. The foreign policy that has now attained favour in high places is that kind which requires all the aids and adjuncts which suavity and conciliation can impart, and had cer tainly better not be forced upon people nolens volens with an arbitrary and arrogant demeanour. It is an insult to common sense for Mr. LAYARD to boast of the " strict neutrality " of our dealings with America. Earl RUSSELL'S con duct was a direct contradiction to that assertion, and we have yet to realise the full extent of his mischievous management at that momentous crisis of affairs. Mr. LAYARD will doubtless find that he has undertaken more than he can successfully accomplish, if he intends to laud and magnify the course which his friends have followed of late. Review in Hyde Park. Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and his Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant, held a review in Hyde Park. A troop of the Royal Horse Artillery and two field batte ries of the Royal Artillery arrived from Woolwich shortly after eight o'clock. The 13th Hussars had previously arrived from Hounslow, and were shortly afterwards followed by four battalions of the Foot Guards from Wellington, St. George's, and Chelsea barracks. The 2d Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards also arrived from the Re gent's Park and Knightsbridge barracks. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, arrived on the ground about half-past 10, attended by a brilliant Staff, including his Aides-de-Camp, Col. Clifton, Colonel Hon. Richard W. P. Curzon, C. 8., and Col. Hon. H. F. Keane ; Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., Adjutant-Ge neral ; Lieut•-General Sir Richard Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General ; Colonel Gambier, C. 8., Deputy Adjutant-General ; Major-Gen. Forster, K H., Military Secretary ; Colonel Sir A.

Woodford, G.C.8., Lieu tenant-General the Earl of Cardigan, Major- General Lawrenson, and a host of distinguished military officers were present as spectators. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, arrived at the time appointed for the re view, at half-past 10 o'clock. The Prince wore the uniform of his regiment, the 10th Hussars. His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant arrived on the ground just before the Prince, and was in the light blue uniform of the Belgian Guards. The infantry were as follows :—The Ist and 3d Battalions of the Grenadier Guards, commanded by Colonel Ponsonby and Colonel his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar ; the 2d Battalion of the Scots Fusi lier Guards, commanded by Col. Stephenson, C. 8.; the 2d Battalion of the Coldstream Guards, com manded by Col. St. George H. Stepney, C. 8.; the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, commanded by Col. Marshall; and the Royal Horse Guards, commanded by Col. Baillie ; the Royal Artillery, 18 guns (Arm strong's) commanded by Col. Gambier, C. 8.; and the 12th Hussars, which kept the ground, com manded by Col. Jenyns, C.B. The troops were under the general command of Field-Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, the cavalry being commanded by Major-General Lord George Paget, C.B. ; the infantry by Major-General Lord Frederick Paulet, C.B. At the conclusion of the movements the Duke of Cambridge, in the presence of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Brabant, called the seve ral officers commanding before him, and congratu lated them on the efficiency of the different corps engaged, and expressed his satisfaction at the way the whole force had behaved on the field. The illustrious company retired at half-past 12 o'clock. A. strong body of the police kept excellent order. Fortunately the rain did not commence until the field day had been brought to a close. M. Couvreur (Advanced Left), as Secretary of the Social Science Congress, corrected two state ments which had appeared in a number of news papers. It had been said that a meeting of the members of the Congress had denied at Paris that the Congress would not again assemble in Belgium if the alien law were deferred, and that the Berne Congress would ratify this resolution. M. Couvreur said, " nothing is true in all this any more than the asserted condemnation of the same law by the Con gress of Amsterdam." The speaker was no less hostile to the law of 1835, the abuses of which in practice he exposed at great length. " If," said he, "the official statistics only show 75 political expulsions since 1835, it is because they do not mention all the expulsions effected through moral constraint." M. Couvreur, in the name of journalism (he is one of the editors of the Independance Beige), pro tested against what had been said respecting the preponderance of the foreign element in the Belgian press. The greater part of the Belgian journals, he said, were edited and managed by Belgians. Moreover, Belgium owes too much to foreigners to disdain their aid. He also defended the meetings against the attacks and sneers of which they had been the object, and said that if those popular assemblies condemned the law of 1835 it was because it was opposed to public opinion. M. Vleminckx (Left) demanded that the proposal to refer the amendment to the Central Section should be put to the vote. M. Basa (Left) opposed this request, and the sitting then terminated.

Jewell, of Great Russell-street, has just published a variety of new music of the most tasteful description. Amongst this latest addition to compositions for the pianoforte is " The Sandle Tree," a sacred song by Mrs. Boisragon, which will be sure to be most readily welcomed, It is set in the key of A, and is one unbroken flow of pure and delicious melody from beginning to end. " The Day of Rest" is another beautiful song of the same description, the words being by Mr. Jewell and the music by Mr. S. Glover. "Le Clair D'Etoiles," by Mr. James Freeman, is really and truly a "Mazurka Brilliante," and one that certainly ought to become universally popular. As a specimen of dance music it is without exception one of the best things that has come under our attention for a long time. " The Fairy Fountain Walses," by Edouard Frewin, we like much better than the "Guards," because in the former there is a most inviting strain running throughout the whole of them, whilst in the latter the catching " bit" is merely in the first movement. GREAT FIRE IN THE ClTY.—Early this morning a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Worms, a carpenter, situated in New-street and St. Andrew's-hill, City, which placed the lives of 50 or 60 persons in peril and destroyed avast amount of property. "The German nation strives for more thorough union. This is offered by Prussia, but upon condi tion of the surrender of all individual independence. This price is too high, and is repulsive to the na tional feeling of single States ; such an union could only be brought about about by blood and the sword. For this Bismarck possesses, if the will, assuredly not the strength, so soon as the remainder of Ger many awakes from its lethargy and unites for powerful action. But in order to impart the neces sary moral force to such an union—for bayonets alone would certainly not suffice—the German nation must be taken into alliance, the magnanimous idea of Francis Joseph must be carried out, and a Parliament be convoked at Frankfort, no matter with, or without, or against Prussia. " The name matters nought. Let such a repre sentation be called an Assembly of Delegates, a Parliament, or a Diet, it still remains a means of binding together the body of the German nation, torn for centuries. But we would appeal right seriously to the heart of the deciding elements to shake themselves free from the erroneous fancy that patriotism has its seat in the purse and political un derstanding in the tongue. Our present Parlia mentary speakers will not save Germany ; that task is reserved for the mass of the nation—more patriotic feeling and self-sacrificing devotion exists among the lowest ranks of the people tha n in that class which always calculate by thalers and groschen. We want the Lower Ilouse upon the broadest foun dation, and as required by the Constitution of 1849, an Upper House by its side as moderator. "This is the way and the means to meet the Prussian attack with success, without being com pelled to have recourse to ' blood and the sword.' If Austria is allied with the middle and minor States, and both are united with the German nation, Bismark will think twice in face of this tri-lateral before he drives matters to the utmost. In presence of the German Diet--and this be our last thought --no coalition Ministry will be able to use that lan guage to which a mere 'Prussian Chamber of Depu ties was forced to listen. Even the Prussian people, which we love, and known as forming a sturdy branch of the great German oak, will then be as sisted to its rights, and this not at Berlin, but at Frankfort ; not by the grace of a pietistic absolu tism, but by the mighty voice of the representatives of German Princes and peoples, and by the decision of a German Imperial supreme tribunal."

WILLIAMS AND OTHERS. This was a suit for proving in solemn form the will and five codicils of Francis Williams. The defendants opposed on the ground that the testator at the time of the execu tion of the will and codicils was not of sound disposing mind. This great Worcestershire will case, which has occupied the Court and eleven of tho leading members for two days, came to a sudden termination to-day. At the conclusion of the case on the part of the plaintiff, a consultation took place between the learned gentlemen instructed in the case, tho result of which was, that Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., informed his lordship that an arrangement had been come to on certain terms, to a portion of which the consent of the Court of Chancery was necessary, and, pending that, ho had to ask that the suit might be adjourned until Wednesday week. Sir H. Cairns said he consented to the arrangement. He had no doubt the consent of the Court of Chancery would be given, and then the trial could be resumed pro forma and probate of the will granted. Upon that understanding the proceedings were ad journod. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE COL. WAUGH.-DISMISSAL OF THE PETITION. In this matter, which has been before the court on three or four occasions, under the new bankruptcy proceeding; the bankrupt was opposed by Mr. Bagley on behalf of Lord Garvagh, who had been a brother officer with Colonel Waugh. His Honour referred at some length to the accounts filed by the bankrupt, and could not lose sight of the fact that in them Col. Waugh had persisted in omitting the debt claimed by Lord Garvagh. Under these circumstances, and looking at all the facts, tfie Court felt bound to dismiss the petition. Mr. Robertson Griffiths, for the bankrupt, asked that the amount of the deposit might be reduced, in order that an appeal might be made to a higher tribunal. his Honour refused. (Before Mr. Hazlitt.) IN RE C. SEYTON-A COMEDIAN'S TROUBLES. This bankrupt was the well-known comedian, and, though his debts are of small amount, his troubles are somewhat touching. Perhaps the file of the proceedings in this court never contained a more moving reason for a bankruptcy. It was " being out of an engagement, and the death of some of my children." To-day was appointed for the proof of debts. The Naval Committee on ships' cooking apparatus —consisting of Capt. Francis Scott, C. 8., and Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, commanding her Ma jesty's ship Victory ; Capt. John Seccombe, her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington ; Capt. Thomas B. Lethbridge, her Majesty's ship Himalaya, have closed their report on this subject, and for warded it to the Admiralty. The chief labours of the committee have been confined to Portsmouth Dockyard, but they have also visited the esta blishments of private manufacturers of the dif ferent firehearths in London and Glasgow, and have otherwise sought to obtain the best in formation. The report recommends a complete change in the form of cooking apparatus on board her Majesty's ships, and also in the mode of its sup ply by the private manufacturer to the Admiralty. It appears that for the past 60 years the firehearths on board her Majesty's ships, which arc exceedingly cumbrous and built up of wrought and cast iron, have been supplied exclusively by one firm at Glas gow at so much per lb. avoirdupois. This arrange ment the committee condemn for many reasons. They recommend that so injurious a monopoly should be at once abolished, and the future supply of firehearths thrown open to the public, so that the crews of her Majesty's ships may have the ad vantage of the best possible apparatus. In referring to the large stock of the Glasgow pattern firehearth still on hand in her Majesty's dockyards, the com mittee refer to the cost as paid by the Admiralty under the present system, to their deficient baking capacity, to their cumbrousness and weight, and to their great consumption of fuel. Under the head of " conversion" the committee, in referring to the attempts that have been made to improve the Glas gow firehearth by giving it additional baking capa city, deprecate any further attempt in that direc tion on the ground that the form of the firehearth is altogether unsuitable for use in ships, and that any further attempt to improve it would be unad visable, as involving a useless waste of public money. The iron screw frigate Minotaur, 6,621 tons, 1,350 horse power, Capt. Herbert (protein.), manned from her Majesty's ships Excellent and Royal Sove reign, and with two 12-ton guns mounted in broad side carriages on her main deck, went out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday, and anchored at Spit head, preparatory to commencing her experimental course of practice and drill with the 12-ton guns off the east end of the Isle of Wight. The ship is ex pected to make her first smooth-water cruise to day. Capt. Key, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Ex cellent, and Governor of the Royal Naval College, will have sole charge of the gunnery course, Capt. Herbert being only in charge of the ship during the time the experiments are being carried on. EXTRAORDINARY AND PAINFUL CASE.—On Mon day Captain Tenneut, of Rushpark, was arrested undor a warrant, charged with having assaulted Captain Delacherois, J.H„ his brother-in-law, at Donaghadee, on the preceding day (Sunday). About 12 months since Mr. Delacherois was married to Miss Tennent, and they lived to all appearance happily together for some months. Gradually, however, differences arose between them. On Thursday week Mrs. Delacherois and her husband were driving from Donaghadee to their residence, when the latter, as is stated, acted in such a manner that Mrs. Dela cherois jumped off the car, and placed herself under the protection of an officer of Coastguard, who, after some difficulty, effected a reconciliation. Mrs. Delacherois sub sequently complained to her brother, who drove from his father's residence to that of his brother-in-law, Captain Harrison, J.P., with whom ho went to Donaghadee. He drove to Ballywilliam Cottage, and, leaving Captain Har rison with the car upon the road, ho walked up to the cot tage and obtained an interview with Captain Dela cherois. Both gentlemen retired to a parlour; and, once Captain Delacherois was inside, Captain Tennent closed the doors, and charged him with ill-treating Mrs. Dela cherois. The discussion waxed warm. Captain Tennent carried with him a walking stick, and with it he commenced a furious attack upon Mr. Delacherois, beating him about the head and face in a shocking manner. The blood flowed copiously from the injured gentleman, who soon fell from exhaustion, and became perfectly insensible. This was only the work of a few moments. The servants in the house were not aware of the attack on their master till it was over. Captain Tennent then left the house, rejoined Captain Harrison, and drove towards Belfast. Immedi ately after Captain Tennent loft Captain Delacherois was found lying on the floor covered with blood. Dr. Cather wood and Dr. Moore were in attendance as speedily as possible, and tho wounds were seen to be of a serious nature. Intelligence of the affair was sent to the police barracks, and shortly after Mr. M‘Minn, J.P., accompanied by sergeant Hicke, visited the cottage. Captain Delache rois then made an information, stating that Captain Ten nant had beaten him, not only with a stick, but with the poker, and kicked him when he was prostrate. Capt. Ten nent was soon arrested, and, bail being refused by the magistrates, ho was conveyed in the custody of the police to Downpatrick gaol.—Belfast News Leiter. Mr. Toole's benefit last night was really and truly a " bumper." Every seat in the theatre was occu pied previous to the rising of the curtain, and num bers of Mr. Toole's admirers, rather than debar themselves the pleasure of "assisting" on the occa sion of his benefit, occupied that peculiarly unplea sant portion of the theatre, viz., " standing room." The performances commenced with the farce of the " Mother and Child arc Doing Well," in which, as Felix Fluffy, the be'n(!ficiaire convulsed the house with laughter. This was followed by a new two-act play by Mr. Walter Gordon, entitled, " Through Fire and Water," a piece which is chiefly to be com mended for the opportunity it affords to Mr. Toole to appear in a somewhat novel part, which the plays with admirable ability. The character in question is Joe Bright, a London fireman, a fellow of honest heart and rugged good nature, but of an ardent and impulsive temper, who, having saved a little girl from death by fire, takes her home, adopts, and educates her, and when she grows to womanhood falls over head and ears in love with her. She of course turns out to be a lady of birth and fortune, but long before this delightful discovery is made she loses her heart irretrievably to Joe, to whom she is in secret quite as fondly attached as he is to her ; but the lovers, as often happens both on the stage and in real life, play A cross purposes. They misunderstand one another, and hence a variety of dangers and dilemmas/ but all turns out happily in the end, as Joe marries Ruth, and Honor Bright, Joe's true and loving sister, also secures the hand of her lover, who proves to be no other than Ruth's lost brother. The part of Joe Bright, the fire-brigade man, is one of those natural creations in which Mr. Toole is unrivalled, viz., the sudden transformation of anhonest decent man into a truculent brute, who, under the maddening im pulse of drink and jealousy, outrages all the pro prieties of life and is ready to tear his best friend to pieces for any or no cause. This character affords ample occasion for the display of the artist's his trionic powers, which are exhibited as conspicuously in the comic as in the tragic passages. The cha racter of Honor Bright affords opportunities also to Mrs. Mellon for some charmingly characteristic acting. Miss Simms was interesting as Ruth, and Mr. Billington, as the good-humoured lover, Mr. Phillips, as the villain, and Mr. Ashley, did all that could be done for their respective parts. The piece was a complete success, and no doubt it will form one of the great attractions of Mr. Toole's provin cial tour. Another Great Lake in Central Africa, ADELPHI THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—lt is known to all who take an interest in African exploration that Mr. Samuel Baker, after meeting Speke and Grant at Gondokoro, on the White Nile, advanced southwards in a bold attempt to extend the discoveries of those travellers. I have now the satisfaction to announce that I received last night by the direction of Earl Russell the following despatch from Mr. Hammond, which acquaints geographers with the discovery of another great central African lake whence the Nile issues, and which has been named by Mr. Baker the Albert Nyanza. The Royal Geographical Society have recently awarded to Mr. Baker their Victoria gold medal for his spirited undertaking, entirely at his own cost , and it is highly gratifying to find that he has already justified their award by his splendid achievement. As one of the telegrams informs us that till° second great Nilotic lake lies in the north latitude 1 deg. 17 min. we may fairly surmise that it is the Luta Nzige, heard of by Speke and placed hypothe" tically in its true position upon his map, but which he was prevented from examining. —I, am Sir, your obedient servant, RODERICK I. MURCHISOX. Foreign-office, June 28, 1865. Sir —I am directed by Earl Russell to acquaint you, fc' r the information of the Geographical Society, that two telegrams, dated respectively the 27th and 28th inst., has? been this day received at the Foreign-office, which, thole' imperfectly transmitted, clearly convey the following intel ligence, which his lordship has great pleasure in coral:rital' eating through you, without delay to the society. Mr. Consul-General Colquhoun reports from Alexandri that letters dated the 10th of May, have been received from Khartum, stating that' " Mr. Baker has succeeded in cl i6; covering the second great source of the Nile—second, 13° in importance, but only in order of discovery, to the Vic toria Nyanza of Spoke." Mr. Consul Stanley, also from Alexandria, speaks of t he 9 discovery as that of " the second and main sour ce of t,, Nile, in Lake Albert Nyanza, north latitude 2 deg. 1 7 Mr. Baker was expected shortly to arrive at Alexander I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, E.
