PARLIAXEINIT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR. took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSLNESS. The West Cork Railway (Amendment) Bill was read a third time. TILE PROSECUTION OF THE LATE GOVERNOR EYRE. The Earl of SHREWSBURY postponed his motion re lative to the late Governor Eyre and the course of the Attorney-General in the matter. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. On the resumption of the adjourned debate in committee on the Representation of the People Bill, The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that a clause be inserted after clause 27, having for its object to allow all persons duly registered as voters for any county or borough in lieu of attending in person to vote by papers under proper regulations. lie said that he conceived this to be a matter of the utmost importance, and it was a ques tion agitated in the year 1859. It was a course which he considered would be highly beneficial to the general body of voters. This mode of election was re garded favourably, he believed, by the majorities in most constituencies. He would refer to the very small number o f voters in the metropolitan boroughs, and this small number was to be attributed to the fact that the occupations of a large number of them would not allow them to vote personally, and he could further point out to their lordships that only one-half, or at least one-third, voted at the last general election. He would enumerate to them a few of the larger constit uencies, their number of voters, and those who actually registered their votes. In Liverpool he found that the nu mber of voters was 20,600, and that only 14,600 re corded their votes ; that in the City of London there were 15,500 voters, and only 10,900 voted; in Manchester 21,000 and 14,900 voted ; in Maryle bone 23,500, and only 11,000 voted; in Lambeth, which was the last ho should mention, 27,000, and only 11,700 voted. With these figures they would see how essential an element it was in the com position of the bill that some provision should be made to enable voters to record their votes otherwise than personally. He (the noble marquis) was not advocating that there should be an indiscriminate power given to per sons to present voting papers, but that under proper and or ganised regulations they might be allowed to do so. Of course it was necessary to guard against any species of bribery creeping in, and the proper precautions must be taken. The noble marquis concluded by moving the amendment. After a few remarks from Lord Russell and Earl Granville, Lord DERBY said that he was glad that this question had been brought before the house. As far as these voting papers were conce rned, ho gave to them his unqualified adhesion. (Hear, bear.) Ho con sidered that it would be the means of • avoiding much corruption that now existed. In 1859 the Government then in office, of which he had the honour to be the head, bad proposed such a course, and the present Government had wished to introduce the same system in this bill. At the recent elec tion at the University of Oxfcrd carried out by a system of voting papers double the number of voters were polled than on any other occasion, nor did he hear that any inconvenience had arisen in consequence. It must do away with a great deal of bribery, tumult, and ill -feeling, which now prevailed. Ho (the noble earl) had not had the opportunity of comparing the schema of the noble marquis, nor did ho think he was prepared at once to accept all he had brought before them. He should not be sorry that the House of Commons should have the op portunity of reconsidering, this question, and introducing it into the bill. Lord DE GREY disapproved of the clause, and did not think that it was even advantageous in the universities. Lord Cairns, Lord De Ros, Lord Cloncurry, the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl of Carnarvon, and Earl Fortescue all supported the motion, and Earl Granville opposed it. On the committee dividing it was carried by 114 to 36, or with the large majority of 78. It was subsequently agreed that tho clauses necessary to embody the regulations under which voting papers are to be used should be brought up on the report. On the motion of Earl STANHOPE, a clause was added to the bill providing that Parliament should not bo diss l olved upon the demise of the Crown, but continue unti dis solved or prorogued in the ordinary way. On the motion of Earl DE GREY, a clause was also agreed to disqualifying any person who should act as an election agent from being a returning provi offier. c A clause moved by Earl GREY, ding that no member of the House of s h ould Commons ould vacate his seat by the acceptance o f an off ce which did not now dis qualify him from sitting in Parliament, was opposed by the Earl of Darby, and, after discussion, negatived. A similar fate befel another clause proposed by the same noble earl, disqualifying all persons in the civil service of the Crown from voting at elections. The schedules were then agreed to, and the bill passed through committee, amidst some cheering from the Ministerial benches, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. The Poor-law Board Bill was read a second time; and the Agricultural Gangs Bill went through committee, and was read a third•time and passed. The sitting closed at a few minutes after 11 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. MIDLAND AND EASTERN, NORWIC 11, AND SPA.LDING, Scc., RAILWAYS BILL. The Lord' Amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. liURNOLDSWICS RAILWAY BILL. The Lords' Amendments to this bill were also considered and agreed to. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr, FAWCETT gave notice that in consequence of the answer which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave him yesterday on the subject of University E lucation in Ireland, he would move on going into Committee of Supply on Friday next, that in the opinion of this house it is unadvis able that the ,Government should advise her Majesty to grant any charter to a Roman Catholic University, or sanc tion any scheme affecting university education in Ireland un' it Parliament has had an opportunity of being consulted. COURTS OF LAW FEES, &c., BILL. The house wont into committee on this bill, and an amendment was agreed to, to the effect that the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury should have power from time to time to prepare amended tables of foes. The house then resumed, and the bill was road a third time and passed. INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DOMINICA LOAN BILL. This bill was likewise read a third time and passed. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 6) Bill, the Prorogation of Parliament Bill, and the Naval Stores (No. 2) Bill were also read a third time and passed. ARTISANS AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this o wha bill, Mr. BA.Z LEY moved, "That in the opinion of this house it is not expedient that the provisions is this bill, by which it is proposed to impose upon the local authority the obligation, if and when required by the owners, to pur chase condemned properties at prices to be ascertained under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, should receive the assent of this house." Seeing the late period of the session he recommended that the bill should either be with drawn or amended in such a manner as would make if acceptable. lie regarded it as totally impracticable thal municipalities should become agents of property, and, fact, engage themselves in matters with which they had nothing to do. Mr. PO WELL deprecated the introduction of abstract resolutions with the view of obstructing the passing of bilis. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE thought the amendment was a very effectual way of putting a stop to the bill, and it would therefore receive his support. Mr. HARDY remarked that the bill would lead to great difficulties, and perhaps be the means of reducing munici palities to a state of insolvency. Ile did not see why this should not be taken into consideration. Mr. - WHALLEY supported the amendment. Mr. LOCKE urged that it was as much the duty of mu nicipalities to buy up pestilent houses as to make sewers. Mr. CANDLISH was strongly in favour of the bill. Mr. TORIIENS said the amendment was proposed vir tually to defeat the bill. The Corporation of Manchester had always been opposed to schemes of the present nature, but as the Government did not oppose the bill, he should do all in his power to press it forward. After some further discussion the amendment was with drawn and the house went into committee on the bill. The consideration of •the various clauses occupied the house up to the time allowed by the standing orders. PUBLIC HEALTH (SCOTLAND) BILL. T bill passel through committee. The sitting of the house was thou suspended. • kt the evening sitting, The ArrortsEY-GENER,AL state , l, in r! ,y to :V or Aurou, that 11 , 3 Wits not aware of any procoo , ' ;• cr iminal, pen4ling a g aiost ex-Governor E y 'L :IS beyond his provincs to hazard an opinion ac sn ,rse, the Government might take in the event of any further prosecution being instituted by the Jamaica Committee. A conversatioaof some interest was raised on a question put by Mr. HANKEY to the Speaker, as to the meeting held in the tea-room on Monday evening relative to the Royal Parks Bill, and which was attended by other gentlemen than members of the house, and at which speeches were made by such gentlemen with regard to the discussion then about to take place on that measure. Had Mr. Speaker been informed of these facts, and was the proceeding in accordance wit's the established rules of the house ? The SPELKER answered that he had been informed of what had occurred, and that the proceeding was not in ac cordance with the rules of the house, but was of an entirely nowl character. As soon • 4 . ' 11 as an, intimation was given to vii the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms of what was going on, that officer with great propriety proceeded to the room, and informed the gentlemen present that their proceedings were irregular; and thereupon the meeting broke up and the members dispersed. It gave him great satisfaction to be able to add that the members who were instrumental in calling the meeting had since communicated to the Ser geant at-Arms that they were not aware at the time of its being a breach of order, and had expressed their regret at the irregularity. Mr. AYRTON remarked that the tea-room had been ex tensively used for consultations between members and their constituents with reference to business that was being transacted in the house, and when such interviews took place observations must be made by one side and the other. In that respect, therefore, the conference of Mon day did not differ from others. It was important to know, however, whether there was no part of this vast building, in which a member could communicate with his consti tuents. If that was really the state of things, then all he had to say was that it was the most inconvenient structure that had ever been erected for the purposes of man. He hoped, therefore, the Speaker would put himself in com munication with the proper authorities with a view to get ting a room set apart for the express object of enabling members to see their constituents or other persons on mat ters of business before the house. The SPEAKER understood that the assembly in the tea room on Monday constituted itself into a sort of public meeting, and this answer applied to the appropriation of any room in the house for such a purpose as that. He admitted, however, the inconvenience pointed out by Mr. Ayrton, and that it had lately been increased by the re moval of the hotels and other houses in Palace-yard at which members formerly mot deputations from their con stituents. Mr. MILL regretted the irregularity of Monday, but assured the house that the proceedings of the conference in no respect partook of the nature of a public meeting. Colonel KNOX inquired whether the members of the Reform League who attended the meeting did not hold out certain threats as to what they were prepared to do if mem bers did not vote in favour of their views on the particular question before the house ; to which Mr. Mill replied that nothing of the kind was heard by him. Mr. NEATE having inquired what were the intentions of the Homo Secretary consequent on the notice given by the Reform League that they would hold a monster meet ing in Hyde Park next Monday, Mr. Secretary HARDY said that all he knew repecting the proposed meeting was gathered from the reports in the newspapers ; .but of course it would be his duty to see that order was preserved. On the order for supply, • Mr. H. SEYMOUR directed attention to the great mor tality occasioned by the famine in Orisssa last year, and, in doing so, contended that the blame for the terrible loss of life which took place on the occasion rested upon Sir Cecil Beadon, the lieutenant governor of Bengal, who had failed to discharge the duties of his high position, and when he ought to have carried out certain measures to avert the calamity permitted the Revenue Board to step in with their theories of political economy and prevent him. The hon. member also moved for the production of the papers relating to the subject. Mr. SMOLLETT declared that such a calamity as the loss of 700,000 lives by famine, mainly through neglect, had not been known for 1800 years. In his view it was a great crime, and the question was with whom the re sponsibility lay. Sir Cecil Beadon was primarily respon sible for the government of the province to the Governor- General of India, who had condoned the lathes on the part of Sir Cecil. For during the whole period Sir John Law rence was up at Simla, where he knew no more of what was passing around his capital than if he had been in Cali fornia, and never moved from his pathetic indifference until he had received pressing orders from home. Not only, then, was Sir Cecil Beadon responsible, but the Governor General also, and the house would not do its duty if it did nit take some serious notice of the disaster. Mr. H. BRUCE spoke warmly in defence of his relative and friend, Sir C. Beadon, whom he eulogised for his ability and humanity, and who now, after 32 years' service, was returning to his native country with shattered health and reputation assailed. Lord W. HAY imputed the chief blame for the fearful events which had culminated in the depopulation of Orissa to Sir Cecil Beadon, who, he maintained, was both men tally and physically incompetent. It was deplorable to think that his mal-administration and that of his superiors should have entailed such direful results upon an entire province. Sir J. FERGUSSON admitted with sorrow that hs was unable to make out a complete defence of those whose con duct in this matter had been impugned. But the capacity and humanity both of Sir J. Lawrence and Sir C. Beadon were too widely known and generally acknowledged to he damaged even by the heavy charges brought against them on this occasion, and that the blame chiefly rested with subordinates upon whom they had too implicity relied. Mr. STANSFELD hoped the Government would accede to the motion, and consent to the production of the papers asked for. The perusal of those already published had inspired him with a very low estimate of the ad.nduistra live capacity of those who, in view of a great national calamity, had indulged in common plate theories of politi cal economy to check action which might have saved ,housands of lives whose sacrifices now lay heavy at their mouse power he wields. Tho harvest is splen did, and is now everywhere in full operation. It is even better than the most sanguine expected, and a few weeks of fine weather will fill every barn to bursting in the West. The heavy failures, more particularly in the dry goods trade, would have had a much more depressing effect had it not been for the buoyancy induced by the fine harvest. The money market iu the West improves in tone and business, and reviving good accounts are given of the cotton crop in the South, and, although the yield will be large, high prices are anticipated, as the coun try in the early part of the year was cleared of all the staple stored, and no cotton remains to be thrown on the market, except that obtained from the growing crop. Government Securities continue to be absorbed by the public as investments, but the recent advance has not been quite maintained. The Stock Market has been active, and much speculative business transacted. This is noticeable in the violent fluctuations which occur, Erie Stock being the most prominent example, having ranged 5 per cent, in a couple of de.ys. It closed over 70, with loud predictions that in less than a fortnight it would reach 80. Securities generally are advancing ; some of them rapidly,more especially the Michigan Southern and the New York Central. T he policy of the railroad interest is indi cated to recent moves which point clearly to amalgamations and strong combinations. I believe this policy to be sound, and if well and judiciously carried out and administered likely to be beneficial both to the public and to stockhol ders. If there is to be a rivalry, it would bo better for two grand and distinct lines to compete than for a number of smaller interests to be checkmating each other, and for this reason it may be of public advantage that the Hudson River, New York Central, and Michigan Southern, should identify their interests, and be opposed by a league of the Pennsylvania Central, with the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago, who may compete for Western travel and traffic. Tho earninlio of the roads generally are increasing, and contrast favourably with the dullness that prevailed a few months ago. Among the rises are the stock of the Pacific and Atlantic Mail Steamship Companies, which aro daily growing more popular investments, as may be judged horn the fact that the latter have advanced thirty per cent. within the ouarter.

Government securities wore reported is rather less demand, but generally quotations were well sustained. In railroad shares the market was active and strong, and speculation, stimulated by the abundance of money, was on the increase. Erie was again the favourite stock, and exhibited a further rise of 6 per cent. ; next to this Chicago and North-Western Preferred was most sought after, at an advance of 4 per cent. State stocks wore freely taken at enhanced rates, the opinion being prevalent that they were the cheapest investments offering. Gold was last quoted 140, after having been 1401. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The following letter with regard to this Company has been issued by the Chairman of the Committee of Investi gation : Sir,—ln reply to numerous inquiries when a report from the Committee of Investigation will be forthcoming, I shall feel obliged if you will allow me to state that ono of the two mezfibers of the committee who went to America has already returned, and the other, with Mr. Trevathick, who is engaged in making a very thorough investigation into the practical details of the condition and working of the line, is expected to bo home in a few weeks. Mr. Clarkson Potter, the counsel for the divisional and consolidated bondholders, who proceeded against the rail way,:_is 11111Y_ in__London. for the purpose_ of eonsultinz with the committee and other parties in interest as to its affairs, and before he goes back to America the committee will be prepared to make a full report to the creditors, -who will be called together not later than the first week in October, to consider the whole question, and determine upon a future course of action. In the meantime it may be taken that the following facts have been ascertained:- 1. Considerable repairs will bo necessary to put the rail way completely in a condition so that it may be worked to the best advantage. The mode of procuring the funds for these repairs will be a matter for further consideration. 2. It will, in all probability, be requisite to ask the divi sional bondholders to capitalise their interest for a certain period, and to postpone for a time the interest on the Con solidated Bonds. 3. The arrangements already made have insured the property to the creditors in their legal order of priority, a id prevent hostile measure's which might break up the Railway, or give undue preference to any one class of creditors. The Committee regret the delay which has already oc curred, but it is obvious that in an undertaking of this magnitude„ and which has become unusually complicated, any premature recommendation or plan of action, without the fullest information and consultation, would in all pro bability only result unsatisfactorily.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM RUSSELL, Chairman of the Committee of investigation. London, July 26. American securities have been steady on the London market during the past week. In United States 5-20 Bonds there have been some considerable transactions, especially in the 1865 issue, which have been largely taken for Holland, where the desirability of holding them in preference to the issue of 1862 (which wo have so fre quently pointed out,) appear now to be appreciated ; they close 721 to 72k, and 71 to 711 respectively. There has again been an active demand for Erie shares for shipment to New York ; they have been so scarce that as much as $2 per share " backwardation" was paid during the recent settlement; the price, however, 48.1 to t, shows only a half per cent. improvement. Illinois Central Shares have been steady at 76 to 77 all he week. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The track of the Troy and Greenfield Railroad will be laid to Shelburne Falls in two months, and to Charlenient village by the first of the year, but the road will not be opened for business to the Falls until the middle of November. A small freight engine for gravel and work trains has been purchased by the Company from the Western road, and it crossed Green River Bridge for the first time on Monday, 15th July. In a few days it will be run regularly over six miles of road extending from Greenfield. The Western Railroad has just imported a quantity of iron from Wales, for track purposes, and two miles of it will be laid on the Pittsfield and North Adams Road. The second track of the Western Road is now com pleted from Washington to Becket, and trains will pro bably be run over this section within a fortnight. Several months, however, will be required to blast away the rocks, so that the remaining gap between Becket and Russell can be laid. When this is done anunbroken lino of double track will extend from Boston to Albany. The Springfield Republican says that " the work of building the bridge over the canal at Chicopee, on the Chicopee street road, seems to be a greater undertaking than at first supposed. A number of workmen have boon employed day and night, Sundays excepted, for two weeks, and the abutments are not l aid up. The travelling public ire naturally a little impatient, but they will have to bear the inconvenience a couple of weeks longer. The work is being substantially done, an d it seems to be the inten tion of the builders that the bridge shall outlast at least the present generation." Work has been begun on the Milford Branch Railroad, and it will be completed in a few months. The Hartford and Erie Road has offered to run the branch, giving the town and stockholders satisfactory terms. The New York Legislature refused permission to the Central Railroad to increase its fares, and the road has attempted to evade the law by demanding specie rates. Ltirani Lewis sued the- company for extortion in taking more faro than the law allows, and the Supreme Court at Bingham' on has given a verdict in his favour with costs. The court was unanimous, and the Central Railroad will henceforth be obliged to content itself with the legal fares in currency.

Lord CII.&NBORNE strongly deprecated any attempt to divert from individuals the responsibility which properly belonged to them, and shift the blame to a system. There was no doubt that the revenue board wore as devoted to the worship of political economy as was the African to his god. They made it their Fetish. But the real question was whether sufficient warning had been given to Sir Cecil Beadon of the imminence of the impending danger. And he held that it had, from various sources, including col lectors of revenue and the police. The warnings that the lieutenant-governor thus received could have left him in no doubt as to the destitution which prevailed, and he must have known that, unless supplies were provided for the people before the winter came on, thlicountry would be inaccessible and frightful starvation must ensue. Ile had heard that it was intended by the Government to fur nish the lieutenant-governor hereafter with a Council; but he trusted that that was not the case. If we would have our officials in India regard the lives of o'ir fellow [ subjects there with the same sympathy and zealous quick affection with which we should regard our fellow-subjects here, we must give the tone and set the example. We must ourselves zealously and jealously watch their conduct. And until we showed a thorough earnestness in this matter, we could not divest ourselves of all blame if wo found that officials in India treated with coldness and indiffe rence such a terrible calamity as that of Orissa. Sir S. NORTUCOTE said he had no objection to pro duce the papers required. The right hon. baronet then, after vindicating the language of his despatch, proceeded to defend Sir J. Lawrence from the attack of Mr. Smollett. No blame whatever, he argued, could be thrown upon the Governor-General ; and all that could be said of him was that, if he had acted more vigorously on the representa tions he received at an early period, and had insisted on setting aside other business and looking into the matter himself, it might have been a harpy thing ; but whilst he said this Sir J. Lawrence could not bo blamed for not doing it. What was true of Sir John was also true, though in a lesser respect, of Sir Cecil Beadon. It was not pro posed to give the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal a coun cil, and all he had stated was that as that officer had to administer a large presidency, and, unlike the other go vernors, was unprovided with a council or an equal secre tariat, a great deal of labour devolved upon him, in per forming which it was desirable that he should have some ' ef f icient assistance. The motion was then withdrawn. The Militia Pay Bill was read a third time, and passed. Some other measures wore also advanced a stage, and at five minutes past three o'clock the House adjourned. ANOTHER MYSTERY OF THE ASSASSINATION. If some Canadian editors know as much as they pretend to about the assassination conspiracy, they ought as honest men to offer themselves as witnesses in the Surratt case, or before the Congressional Committee. The Montreal witness having denounced the two Catholic priests who sheltered Surratt in Canada as in complicity with the assassination, the Montreal ilium, the long the in organ of the trench Catholicsr reply :—:— ti We could have published ys in an sincearticle name of a Protestant ministe r, whose letter is under our eyes, and who himself originate d the idea of assassinating President Lincoln. The Confederate agents in Canada, whose answer we also hold, declined the proposal, and the minist-r then resorted to a private attempt. If need be we could give his name, the place where he is at present residing, in ono of the northern States, in a city well known, where ho occupies an important post, and is respected." If the editor of the /1/inerue possosses a secret so important as this ho cannot in conscience retain it. It would be a monstrous crime against society. — Springfield Republican.

SCOTT—" The Talisman.' 'Unfurl our royal banner to the Field, And lot our Fleur de Lys, which oft hast shadowed The bloody battle-field, bloom o'er the Tournay. FRANCIS THE FIRST. Who doth not recal the thrilling interest with which he first read the glowing pages of " Ivanhoe," or those of the " Talisman." Equilly rich in chivalric imagery, whether before the cheerful coal fire of a winter's night, with the hail beating against the closely curtained windows, or perhaps in his boyish days surreptitiously in bed of a morning on plea of a toothache. I had thought that those splendid reproductive photographs of that master hand were now the only vestiges and relics of the gallant iron age, never more bodily to appear in these days of little weight and long rifles, for the Eglinton affair was decidedly a failure. I was, however, agreeably mistaken on visiting yesterday the beautiful little port of Bercy, in finding myself in presence of an actual and bona fide tournament. But as the reader will doubtless bye-and-bye ask me what and where is Bercy, I will anticipate his question, and at the same time follow out my maxim of blending as far possible the useful with the agreeable in asking him to walk with me as far as the locality in question, promising him at the same time to point out en route such objects of interest as will give him an idea of how a visitor in Paris may spend at least one day advantageously on foot, and without the encumbrance and expense of a Guide Interprete. He must get up very early though, for he will have to pass one place, which affords perhaps one of the most beautiful sights in Paris, and which, should he visit it later than six o'clock a.m. in company with the aforesaid Guide, will then have lost by far the greatest portion of its beauty and its charm. Let him meet me, then, at the Place de la Madeleine, five sharp, not one instant later, and no great hard ship either on a morning in July in the sunny climate of France, and we will have a walk, which, if he be an American, the vigour of our Transat lantic cousin will enable him at once to appreciate, and enjoy a walk, finished up, too, with a real tournament, that is, if the limits I prescribe to my self in my letter for hints to visitors permit us to arrive in time. The chances are in our favour for a lovely morning on the broad Boulevard now lying still in the morning sunshine, gives no evidence of the vast stream of human life with which it will in a few hours be inundated, the gas lamps still s i c kly contrast with the flood of morning sunlight, b urn ing in front of t he grand hels, affg a and raising a feeling of compassion for their inmates, probably sleeping off the fatigue of their previous evening's amusement in the heated saloons and theatres of Pari radualls. Turn to the right, down the Rue Montmartre, g y we find more signs of and movement, for we are now approaching the grand Central Halles, or markets of Paris. Fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish, meat, corn, &c., where, at two o'clock in the morning, the commissionaire, or wholesale merchant, arrives at his office to debate his prices with the producer ; in his turn to supply the multitudinous retail dealers, and revendeurs who keep the great markets, or who again disseminate through the capital and its environs, or even export to other countries, the produce of France. A little farther on and you are in presence of a scene of active life one has rarely the good fortune to behold in the centre of a mul titude through which you can scarcely thread your way, and which overflowing the immense covered building of the Halles themselves surges far up every street iu its immediate vicinity. Carts and vehicles of every description, laden to the full, disappearing like magic on every side of you, their place immepliately supplied by others. Men and women, bearing on their backs long peculiarly shaped wicker panniers, or training with diffietilty :owes: e aao a l l ku t t y e r; closely packed voitures a bras, the very pavement bearing the appearance, if I may use such a simile, of a vegetable battlefield, and you arc approaching, approaching only, be it remarked, • the great markets of the great city at the only period of the day at which they may be seen to advantage. But you may not purchase yet until_ within the precincts of the market. You will, perchance, on seeing a woman bearing ou her head a wicker tray of peculiarly fine mullet or mackerel, or a similar tray filled with osier baskets of ripe fruits, make her an offer, not for her self, but for her merchandise. In vain, it is sold already, or is not to be sold in detail, but a little further on and the Hanes are before you, and you can purchase in their immediate vicinity a bouquet for the sum of fivepen.ce, which a few hours later, and even in the interior of the same locality, would I stand you in as many francs, or in like manner, l h r i ie s t n a h gg m e r a e o p pu l p t e i r t m i ha n s en c i o i cir p f Imea6eplrapl Orleans, n t si l i e urtrkh o pee s l tieenir:saonarpannier dery andpsskteiail l glistening ns. le Seine, and over against the ancient cathedral of itself, which you will meet further Lady of Notre Dame, we shall pass itin ou p r l that is to say, if it be market day. The great mar kets of the Halles.are, however, an every-day affair. Or if your pockets are extensive you may encumber them with artichokes, aubergines (a vegetable mar row of a rich purple colour), cucumbers , or what ever else you may fancy. Pass on, enter the Fish Market, where, on the marble slabs, you may pur chase from the salmon to the ecrivisse (prawn), or from the reservoirs constantly supplied with water you may select, still living, a variety of others too numerous to mention. But I have said enough to give evidence of the Central Halles, and the morn ing is passing. Cross we the Rue di Itivoli to the Palace and Gardens of the Tuileries. Exquisitely laid out with its square groves, fish-ponds, and statues, and where, later in the day, the visito r may enjoy the music of the finest military bands of Paris, and amuse himself, if he be so inclined, with feeding the wood pigeons and sparrows so familiarised with humanity as to perch readily on your shoulders and feed from your hand. Standing in the middle of the broad central avenue, the gaze falls in a right line first on the huge monolith of the Luxor in the centre of the " Place de la Concorde," the noble gift of Egypt to France ; passing on through a long leafy avenue, it takes in the magnificent triumphal arch of the " Barrier de l'Etoile "—on one side lie the grove and gardens of the Champs Elysees, with their numerous theatres, concert-rooms, cifes, divans, and guigols, which, when illuminated in the soft summer evenings, give the spectator the idea of a fairy land, and which must have brought to the mind of his Highness the Sultan the Gardens of the Golden Horn. Last year, when, on the occasion of the Emperor's birthday fete, this panorama was illuminated with every possible splendour, and an Egyptian Temple raised as if by magic around the Obelisk, it afforded a coup devil that may be better imagined than described. But we must not stay too long in one place. Aliens en avant tit us pass on a little way by the broad road leading along the river side to St. Cloud and Versailles, where the little brilliant steamers flit along like fire-flies. side by side as it were with the immense omnibuses of the. American Horse R iilw ay, until we come in sight of the pretty little village of Passy, with its white-roofed cottages and green shrubberies glisten ing in the sun, cross over the Pont d'Jena, and we are at the gates of the monster palace. We have, however, loitered too long on our route to reach Bercy to- day, and as my service; as guide inter prete are by this time required in another direction, I must leave the reader to amuse and improve him self as he best may in the Palace and its gardens, with a rendezvous for the ensuing week to resume our interrupted promenade. Her Majesty the Empress returned to the Tuileries via Havre on Monday last at half-past 2 a.m. The Duke and Duchess of Aosta have quitted Paris for Baden. The Queen Maria Pia of Portugal and the Princess-Clotilde, sisters of the Duke, accompanied their Royal Highnesses to the Eastern Railway Station to bid them adieu. Her Majesty of Portugal will protract her departure from Paris until the return of Prince Hunibert, who is expected shortly on his return from St, Petersburg. It is more than probable that the Emperor of Morocco, in company 1 with the Bey of Tunis, will shortly vis it Paris and the Exposition. The Grand Duke Constantine, brother of the Czar, has arrived at Paris. His Highness was received at the Strasbourg Station by the Russian Ambassador and suite. The splendid Austrian band gave a material aubcule on Tuesday last in the gardens of the Tuileries, in spite of the early hour, between five and six o'clock. A considerable number of persons were in attendance to enjoy the rich musical treat thus unexpectedly afforded them. ' By-the-bye, later in the same day I met with a great treat myself, in being at the exhibition and explanation of a new invention by T. Silver, Esq., of New Yolk, to remedy the present existing de fects of working the Atlantic Cable. As Mr. Silver was the bearer of a letter of introduction to 'Mdme. Dolby and the staff of the FRANCC)- AMERICAN from a gentleman of high standing in England, distinguished not only by his active promotion of all subjects of general utility, but by his capability of appreciating them, I ex pected to find in him to ordinary personage. The result more than justified the anticipations I had formed. The exhibition of the invention was strictly private. One or two distinguished savants connected with the Emperor's household, among others, M. Williamson, alone being present. The object of Mr. Silver is to form a company, with the view of establishing a telegraphic marine communication in its proposed improved form, between America and France, probably by - the way of the Azores, and thence across the Continent—a method which, he contends, would be attended with less expense than overland communication, it being calculated that messages might be sent for ten shillings instead of as at present ten pounds, a difference in expendi ture which would be enormous in its saving. From the clear illustrations given by Mr. Silver of his in vention by the help of a beautifully constructed model and accompanying diagram, I was enabled fully to comprehend that the mode at present in use for paying out the cable—vial., over two or three large wheels placed at intervals in a line with the stern of the ship—is exceedingly defective in conse quence of a large weight being attached to the 'centre of the rope between the wheels as a counter action to its velocity, which drags it down towards the sea in the shape of an isosceles triangle, the weight in question forming the apex. The occa sional roughness of the sea conveying an oscillating motion to the weight in question forms bights in the rope which contribute materially to its fraying and occasional part ing. By the getting rid of the weight in question and the concentration of the machinery inboard under the guidance of his patent governor, Mr. Silver proposes to obtain the following ad vantages :—The keeping an even strain on the cable in the roughest weather, thereby assuring its safety, and in case of its becoming entangled in any serious impediment the capability of hauling it in with out danger of parting the machinery on board after a certain amount of strain taking an inverse movement. The same machinery also affords an opportunity of weighing the quantity paid out, whilst by means of an indicator placed at the stern the 'officer in charge is enabled to mark the amount of strain. Such, divested of technicalities for the comprehension of the general reader, is the inven tion of Mr. Silver, and such the advantages clearly perceptible even to the non-professional critic, which he proposes to afford. If his inven tion be really capable of affording these advantages, for that they are advantages no one will, I think, deny, then Mr. Silver has come to the right place to succeed. In England he would have had to con tend with the stubbornness of island prejudice; in America he might feel the force of the axiom that no prophet is honoured in his own country ; whilst in France, henceforward the first goal to which men of science will direct their steps, lie will find assist ance and encouragement. In the Emperor (if worthy) he will find a patron, capable not only of appreciating, but of a iding hint ; an d amon g st the Ministers of France he will find that active co operation which will connect fo r a g es to come the name of the Baron de Lesseps with that mighty undertaking of modern times—the Isthmus of Suez. _ _ • ' The chess tournament at the Cercle Internationa. has come to an end, the grand prize given by the g Emperor, a magnifice nt va se of Se vres p orcelain, of ttio vo.luo of 4, 000 f. to 6,000 f., bortring been alueti by M. Kolitsch, of Hungary. Au exhibition of high-bred horses is going on at present at the Ex position, the greatest number belong to the English, Arab, and Norman races. A similar exhibition of the canine• race will shortly be held at Billancourt. Amongst the conferences already announced at the Exposition are one on meteorography, by M. Secehi, and another, which attracts no ordinary interest, by the Baron de Lesseps, on the works of the Isthmus of Suez. As a sign of the vitality of the Exposi tion, a Cafe Estaminat is at present in construction on the roof of the Palace, to be reached by the me chanical ascension at present exhibited there. Hii Highness the Viceroy of Egypt has expe rienced another of the amusements of Paris, in being upset in the Boulevard Poupouniere whilst passing in a private carriage, with his Minister, Nubar Pacha. The accident, which w h en k nown caused great consternation amongst the Viceroy's suite, afforded considerable amusement to the gamins, or street boys of Paris. "If you arc looking f ir your master," said one of these precocious indi viduals to a solemn -looking Nubian, " you will find him at the blacking merchant's round the corner." The accident, however, was unattended with any serious consequences. On Tuesday last came off the grand review, given in honour of the King of Por in consequence of the badness of the wea tugal, which had been p ost p oned from the Friday previous, ther. The troops reviewed consisted of three regi ments of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, two regiments of the Artillery of the Guard, the Train of the Military Equipages of the Guard, the Dragoons of the Empress, and four regi ments of the Cuirassiers of the Line, the latter executing with the most beautiful precision a charge at full gallop close up to the Emperor and his Staff. His Majesty was accompanied by the King of Portugal and his brother the Duke of Coimbra, the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, the Princes Charles and Albert of Prussia, the Duke of Olden bourg and his three sons, the Minister of War, Marshal Niel, &c., &c. The Queen of the Belgians has left T rieste en ro ute for Vienna, accompanied by t h e Empress Charlotte. A ludicrous incident occurred the other da y at the Exposition. An inhabitant of Cambrai had some time since lent a small sum of money to a fellow townsman named Chabot, who w as so little recognisant of the favour as to leave Cambrai not only without paying the debt, but without even taking leave of his benefactor. Last week the excursion train from the north affor ded the creditor an opportunity of visiting Paris and the Exposition. As he promenaded in the park his attention was attracted by a Chinese bazaar, in the midst of which, enthroned amidst a collection of eve r y kind of porce lain monster, sat au apparentinhab itantof the Celes tial Empire. the Mandarin for some time with ast onishment, whilst Our hero from the co untr y contemplated' the distinguished foreigner appeared considerably unquiet and distrait. All at once a luminous idea traversed his cerebellum. " Chabot," shouted he. The Chinese male a gesture of affright. The countryman approached still nearer. " Cash u p ," said he, sternly. "For the love of Heaven," said the false Chinese, "say nothing." •" Le vim): Bien," was the reply, "on condition that you pay imme diately, otherwise I tell everything." As the bazaar happened to be tolerably full the victim had no other alternative, and the countryman went his way with the reflection that at all events he had paid his expenses in visiting the Universal Expo sition. Batty, the intrepid lion tamer , has narrowly es caped with his life during the course of his exhibi tion this week at the Theatre Porte St. Martin, before the Grand Duke Constantine. Among the five animals exhibited by him was a lioness who had recently whelped. As the natural ferocity of the animal is increased tenfold at such periods, Batty had been warned not to enter the den. He, pertormAnce, how ever, Per§isted in going on w ith his in the course of which he struck the lioness, who crouched sulkily in a corner over her whelp, a blow with his whip. With a bound the wild beast was upon him, striking the claws of both paws deeply into his shoulders, and seizing his arm at the same time in her teeth. At this moment the terror of the audience was extreme, ladies fainting in all directions, and the Lion Tamer himself exhibited all the symptoms of a mortal terror, not so much from the pain of his wounds as from the knowledge that the sight and smell of the blood which flowed from the wounds would exasperate the lions to the highest possible pitch of ferocity. He succeeded, however, in freeing himself from the gripe of the infuriated animal, and got out of the den more dead ' than alive. The curtain had fallen for some time on the terrible scene, but loud cries of " Batty, Batty !" showed the desire of the audience to ascer tain the safety of their favourite ; and, in accord ance with their request., the dompteur appeared, pale and bleeding, from his recent struggle. He has been forbidden by his medical attendant from again resuming his metier. His place, it is said, will be supplied by Lucas. The international fete and banquet has been postponed to the 16th inst., the day following that of the Emperor's birthday fete. PARis, August 1. A great many " Nationalities" have attracte public attention this week, and some suspense pre vails in speculative minds concerning a novel one a promised " International Exposition of Dogs. This is to take place in some official building, which will probably be decorated for the purpose, with ensigns, which have the privilege of drawing forth canine capacities and exciting those energies. I pro pose the portrait of the arch-traitor Judas-Escobedo. It is certain that on the day of the awarding of prizes the jury will be welcomed by snappish testi monials, but the members of that august body have gone through so much that ten to one the natural eloquence of quadrupeds at the Champ de Mars will be more satisfactory than the artificial growling of bipeds there located. The next international exposure will, I fear, be the literary congress. The sharpest steel pens are already skirmishing ou the subject. When the first idea was projected of a great gathering of literati another was suggested --namely, that literati cannot gather together without funds, and Mr. Duruy, the Minister of Instruction, was requested to vote two thousand francs, or ISO, for the emergency. His Excellency replied that this was insufficient, kindly made the wants of all international literati known to the Emperor, and immediately received from his bounty an order to draw on his private revenue ten thousand francs wherewith to cover expenses. It would be natural to suppose that the literati were pleased, and felt inspired with odes, blank verse, alexandrines, &c. This was not the case, poetry was not forthcoming, nothing but bitter, sweet prose, and all poets, on feeling their pulses, discovered that their dignity would not allow them to accept a gift for which they would have 'to offer thanks. The endurance of Napoleon 111. is so great that he was content to receive but one expression of gratitude, and that was Mr. Duruy's. Musical fetes are the order of the day. We have Strauss and Bilze at the Champs de Mars, all the foreign military bands in our public gardens, and Japanese banjos at two circuses. Chinese notions of melody, if as celestial as their empire, are better suited for Turks than Christians, the former having a seventh heaven, consequently out of the hearing of those whose sole ambition is to be in the first. The liber ties they take with the gamut are nothing compared to those they expect their limbs will not resent. Some of their feats are so daring as to be painful to behold. Clusters of these bronzed muscular men manage to climb up to a fearful height, when they dart forward and form clusters of human beings holding together apparently on a • thread, and when all specta,tors arc breathless with anxiety lest they all should be dashed to pieces, they suddenly alight, no one sees how, sit down, draw out their fans, fan themselves, and look round the house as if they had not held their lives cheap a moment ago. Their native tongue is as harmonious as their music, but neither are spared the audience. No less then 200,000 listeners crowded into the Tuileries yesterday to hear the Austrian band (Duke of Wurtemberg's Regiment, No. 73). At one time the crowd and crush were so_ nolverfd that some fearful accident would have been inevitable if the Spanish Baud had not struck up a wild tam bourine dance close to the Palace. Those who were dissatisfied with their station on the outskirts of the crowd ran to the new attraction, and a few thou sand spectators were relieved of what was becoming an intense panic. Another incident offered a free passage to the stifling. The Emperor and Empress slowly drove through the central avenue, and many flew in that direction. The Austrians instantly stopped the piece they were playing (we are getting so thick with Austria), and gave queen Hortense's 66Partant pour la Syrie," which spontaneous atten tion elicited an outburst of enthusiastic cheering. The pieces played afterwards were Richard Wagner's overture to "Rienzi," Zimmerman's Wurtemberg march, and polka. Zimmermann is the clever leader of the band, which presents a most martial appearance. I cannot say less of the Spaniards, though their sleeves are as wide as their pantaloons ; the same prodigality of fulling can be objected to when one has a back view of Bavarian infantry. How they ever sit down on so much broadcloth without the help of crinoline is known of course to themselves, but it is far from graceful. It is almost impossible to get any view at all of the Dutch Grenadiers — they are covered up by their gigantic instruments. A Dutcb violoncellist must be in an enviable posi tion when he has to accompany cannon balls on a battle-field. The Russian Guards are all metal from top to toe. The Prussians play on trombones that express their feelings very harmoniously, but ungently if one happens to be less than a quarter of a mile 'torn the player. I have received a letter from one who signs a " Constant Franco Reader," begging I will kindly give an account in this number of the iodoleromoni trophenol. lam sorry to be one of the profane who do not study such questions. Would " Constant Reader" be obliging enough to give me an account of the paraphenolitysulfato industry ? I may not close without describing the dress worn by Queen Pia at the Hotel de Ville. This is a re quest lam happy to comply with. Queen Pia of Portugal is much like her sister, Princess Clothilde- Napoleon. She wore a plain white tulle, covered with entwined convolvoli. One of the most re markable jewels seen in the splendour of this season was her diamond snap—a large square of these precious stones worn below her right shoulder, from which hung the jewelled cordons of Sa in t Elizabeth and the Conception, which were crossed over her bosom. The newest colours are called saffron, sulphur, and frog. Bismarck's are called cockchafers; there is no accounting for affinity. Who would dare connect the King of Prussia's vizier with an obnoxious, buzzing insect? COMMERCIAL. NEW Youx, July 20 Mining shares have fallen in San Francisco, the Yellow Jacket for some unexplained cause tumbling down $7OO in a few days. This is • a sharp reaction after a strong rise. Tho receipts of coin from California amount only to $700,000 during the week, while the export demand of gold for Europe has increased considerably, Some people account for this by the largo proportion of our bonds held in Europe, Which require a constant drain to liquidate the 166 , 4 interest they bear, Others attribute it to the exodus of tourists, which has been progressing for some wec*iis. They carry away small parcels in great number, nd those in Europe direct their agents to remit in coin to meet their requirements. As the Scotch say " every micklo makes a muckle," and the " muckle" of the body of general visitors to Europe has had its effect on the price of gold and of European ex changes. Last Saturday the total exports for the week were found to amount to $4,870,835. On Wednesday the shipments from New York were about $1,000,000, while the Java took from Boston $192,000. Gold has risen, last Monday tcuching 1401 but it declined fractionally as the week advanced, closing on Thursday at 140.
