We do not see on the whole that this discussion is to be regretted, because the change which it will involve will serve to carry out the principles of the bill, and to prevent some of those evils which have been so glaring in small constituencies. The value of small boroughs in themselves is not to be overlooked, and it is only the shortsighted politician who objects to them. They serve many purposes more or less important, and they could not be struck off the list without great in jury being inflicted on many interests. Mr. LAING took a comprehensive view of the question, and pointed out the anomalies of the present system of our representation. He desired also to group 14 very small boroughs. Mr. LAING was very fair in his scheme, for he declared that the county repre sentation was not adequately arranged in propor tion to that of the boroughs. Considerable ingenuity was displayed in this plan of redistribution, and although there were some discrepancies in it, still the House showed, by its decision, how highly it was appre ciated. Considerable amusement was created by Mr. Sergeant GASELEE, who declared that the hon. member for Wick had taken his own proposition out of his hands, and by somehow placing a notice on the paper, taking precedence of his, and by doing it in more technical terms, had jockeyed him out of his claim to priority. During the course of his remarks, the honourable and learned member took occasion to pay a tribute to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the dexterous manner in which he had carried the bill through the House to its present stage. " Through good report and through evil report the right hon. gentleman had met hon. members with a temper which he wished they could all imitate, and a courtesy which they could never forget." The Chancellor of the Exchequer made some remarks upon the subject, in which he pointed out the errors into which they might fall by a too hasty adoption of Mr. LAING'S plan. No doubt there was a good deal of truth in the observations of the right hon. gentle man, but we hope and believe that he will find some of his predictions not verified in the future. It is, indeed, extremely difficult to draw a correct line of distinction, and it will often be found that those who are apparently the most acute have made some error, and displayed some inconsistency, as Mr. DISRAELI showed, when you begin to talk of remedying defects and diminishing " anomalies," you may perchance while removing some create others. " Nor," said he, "to maintain that it is an intolerable anomaly that a town of eight thou sand inhabitants should return two members to Parliament, while a city of half a million returns only the same number, is scarcely consistent with recommending that a town of ten thou sand should be placed in the same position." Great care and attention will be necessary in deal ing with the " different schools of representation" which, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer truly remarked, are now springing up in the country. Perhaps a great deal of the difficulty that lies in the way of those who are propounding these schemes, and commenting upon the various propositions, might be done away with if it was not tacitly agreed upon that the aggregate number of the House of Commons must be fixed at 658. There is no valid reason for this, and it might be a very good thing if it were done away with in a great measure, for it would introduce more freedom into the arrangements, and tend to develope a system more in accordance with the progressive spirit of the age. Mr. GLADSTONE'S speech afforded some consolatins , 3nthers rcaSe who con sidered that the constitUciac.r.;3 would become too uniform in their character through the proposed changes, because he said that they might follow the example, but division and redivison of counties, would re-act upon a more extensive scale. Th 3 right hon. genntleman expressed his satisfaction that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the part of the Government, did not make any of those "significant announcements," which might lead hon. members to believe that in the event of Mr. LAING'S scheme proving unsuccessful a serious disturbance of the procedure of the House would be the result. The Ministers have, in fact, shown great discretion on this point throughout the whole of the debates which have taken place, and resisted the temptation of adhering too closely to their own favourite plans. This is a very com mendable resolve on their part, for no progress worthy of the name could have been made by the house had a fixed and arbitrary course been determined upon. Of course, the decision arrived at yesterday will occasion no more delay, but it need not be of more than a trifling character ; and we entertain no doubt that the Government will be able to adopt the wishes of the committee in a manner that will not materially affect their own measure, and thus finally to bring about the result so ardently defered, and so long anticipated, of passing a Reform Bill which shall satisfactorily dispose of the vexed question in a ,asting form and after a desirable fashion. The dissolution of the Croatian Diet is not a matter of surprise, and though its necessity may be on many accounts an occasion of regret there is good reason to hope that another assembly of Croatian and Sclavonic representatives may lead to more satisfactory results. A new election will pro bably send to the Diet less turbulent members. We may judge a little of the tempers of these gentlemen from a little anecdote told respecting the forthcom ing coronation. It seems that the mound on which the ceremony of coronation is to take place is to be composed of earth sent from all the different comi tats of the kingdom. The Croatian supply is prepared, but it has been decided that it should not be sent until the questions in dispute between Pesth and Agram were satisfactorily settled. So much for Croatian independence. The EMPEROR, in his rescript, says that he had hoped they would have "acceded legally to the resolutions agreed upon with the Hungarian Diet as to the political position of the countries of the Hungarian Crown with regard to common affairs." The rescript goes on to sum up the effect of the resolution passed by the Hungarian Diet, which invited Croatia to send representatives to its sittings for these express objects, and promised to secure the legal rights of the kingdoms of Dalmatia, Croatia, and Sclavonia, and left the Diet at liberty to elect the mem bers to be chosen as common delegates for the Hungarian Crown, and recognised the right to sand the Deputies in any man ner the Croatians might decide upon. The acceptance of these proposals on the part of Croatia should not, the Hungarians promised, be considered as in any way affecting the settlement of th e s till pending questions. The EMPEROR expresses his surprise and regret that the address adopted by the majority of the Croatian Diet was altogether dif ferent from what he had expected. Demands were put forward peremptorily by the majority of the Diet, which were not only unattainable, owing to the shortness of the time, but were plainly in tended to render all constitutional agreement im possible. The consequence is that the EMPEROR, having determined no longer to delay the generally desired coronation, finda himself compelled to dis 0 lye the Croato-Selavonian Diet, having no hope of any prosperous result under the influence of tha THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1867. present major ity. FRANCIS JOSEPH, acting upon his new conciliatory principles, is evidently anxious that it should not be supposed he intends to with hold from the 'Croatians the right of representation. In concluding his rescript, therefore, he declares his conviction that the faithful population of his be loved kingdom a of Croatia and Sclavonia will ap preciate his pa ternal intentions, and " in their own well• consideree interests promote the work of agree ment to the bt •st of their ability, and render the establishment .of legal regulations possible by their loyal co-operat'on." Austria is something like the bundle of faggokts without the uniting cord, and the EMPEROR begins to find what a wearisome and diffi cult task it is to obtain harmonious action from so many rival nationalities and conflicting inte rests. Nevertheless he must not suffer him self to be disraeurtened, since such delays and obLtaeles are inevitable, especially in the present condition of the minor states and peoples under his control. Moderate and patriotic men of all parties will no doubt second his endea vours. KOSSUTH has addressed a letter to DEAK reproaching him for endeavouring to make peace instead of stirring up the whole nation to resistance for the sake of maintaining the laws of '4B. Very few persons in this country at least will be inclined to blame DEAK for not sacrificing his country to a shadow. The years which have elapsed since 1848 have considerably modified the political situation, and DEAK is wise and farsighted enough to per ceive that Hungary's best chance for prosperity and independence lies in conciliating Austria. She can command very different terms from her KING now that Hungary forms so important a part of his possessions. Austria cannot afford to quarrel with the Hungarians at this juncture, and there was not probably a statesman or diplomatist in Europe who did not perceive that the only chance of the HousC of lIAPSBURG to retrieve its fallen for tunes was to throw itself on the loyalty of its Hun garian subjects. KOSSUTH, perhaps naturally enough, reasons from the heights of theoretical patriotism and political martyrdom. DEAK adapts his course to the practical requirements and possi bilities of the day, without, however, forgetting the principles of national freedom. A letter from Pesth, in referring to KOSSUTH'S letter, says of the illustri ous exile :—" He wants revenge for past wrongs, or a glorious fall. DEAK wishes to save the country from falling. The nation has made its choice, and is indiscreet enough to prefer continuing to exist." KOSSUTH'S letter will no doubt produce considerable effect upon the members of the more extreme party ; I but the general good sense of the nation has accepted the fact, that it is not the time for an appeal to arms, and that the real ends hi view are more likely to be gained by quiet and constitutional means, if steadily and resolutely employed, than by any vio lent or spasmodic efforts, which, from their very nature, must be ephemeral and transitory, and which, should they fail, must be altogether un availing. agriculturists of the Roman territory have sent a petition to the Pope, in which they supplicated his Holiness to adopt energetic measures against bri gandage, which renders it impossible to pursue the labours of the field, and places the lives and property of landed proprietors in continual danger. IRELAND. • DtinuN, May 31. Capt. P. J. Condon and Mr. Dominic O'Mahony were tried for treason-felony at Cork on Wednesday and yesterday. They pleaded "Not Guilty." The Attorney-General stated the case fully. Ile said no more important case had yet been brought before a jury. In the course of his speech he produced a letter from Col. Kelly, chief acing organiser of the Irish Republic. The letter was written in an enig matical manner, to deceive the authorities if opened at the Post-office. It was signed " William S. Gordon," which, it would be proved, was a false name used by Col. Bally, and was addressed to Col. Fariolo, and was as follows :-- " London, March 5, 1867. "My dear Friend,—Your letter received, and finds me unable to comply with your request pecu niarily, as I have made expenditures of money for emergencies since you left which I had not antici pated ; however, as I will soon realise, I know you will be prepared to economise until I receive another remittance, besides if you run short you will be supplied by my broker, O'M., to whom I gave you the address. You have, no doubt, found him out by this time. I had a letter from Vif to-day, in which he says the cause of his absence is the want of money. I have sent him some, and expect him here on Thursday. I also received a letter from Mr. Paul, who is doing a thriving business. I judge from his letter he is quite a lion in Paris. I antici pate his adding some novel features to the exposi tion before it closes. Do you think you will be able to finish your report this coming month ? I know you must feel very tired of that dreary coun try you have been ordered to. This devilish turmoil they keep up there is enough to make us so dis gusted with them that there is a growing sentiment in England in favour of cutting loose from them just to see if, instead of cutting ours, they would not cut each other's throats, just because they are so fond of fighting there when they should be so completely exhausted at that kind of thing. We could just step in and enjoy another century of quiet with no cost but that attending the transportation of troops, although we have but 20,000 there; however, you will find that they will be more than sufficient to keep the beggars quiet. I was stationed there some years ago, and liked the country well, that is the northern part ; but things have changed since then. However, your being a Frenchman, they will likely attach themselves to you quicker than they would to me, an Englishman. When you see Cleburne tell him the necessity of sending a remittance as soon as possible. It is not pleasant to run one's face for his men's bill. I shall be much obliged by a look at your report of the military bearings of Cork ; and by mentioning my name to the lieutenant-colonel commanding the garrison he will afford you every facility in his power for making your observations. As I have yet to write to Mr. Paul, I must close by wishing you every success in your arduous undertaking. Good bye.--Yours faithfully, " Old address." "WILLIAM S. GORDON. The Attorney-General said that letter, which re. ferred in plain terms to Cleburne, Massey, Cluseret, and other men known to be connected with the con spiracy, was evidently written for the purpose of giving its recipient secret instructions. The At torney-General then referred to another letter found at the same time as the foregoing, written and ad dressed as follows :-- " Cork, Italian Hotel, March 5. " Sir, —The short time allowed for my sojourn here, though a rapid visit to Ireland, has prevented me, to my great regret, from calling on you in per son, and I beg you to allow me to repair this omis sion through this letter. " At the same time, I wish to request you to take charge of any letters , or goods that rirty be sent to this hotel in my name, and which M. Thomasini has been directed to hand over to you. As I have no fixed residence in England, should any be sent, the sender, General Cluseret, U.S. Volunteers, should write to you to el tim them.—l am, Sir, with great respect, your most obedient servant, " 0. FARIOLO, late Col. U. S. Vols., and a citizen of Louisiana. " To the United States' Consul, Queenstown, Cork, Ireland." Unusual interest was excited by the examination of May. The Cork Examiner remarks that in his cross-examination by Mr. Heron he became fre quently much agitated, and gave utterance to ex pressions which betrayed distraction and remorse. Corydon was next examined, and give compromising d o a n y ce interrupted testimony against the p risoners, one of s w y l m lo p m to , raCson don, he said, swore h im in a Fenia n. of ative evidence was O'Mahony e tg h x r ee h ai progressbt i t e e x d e a t t e fe ntintervalscaan s de during Corroborative ot b the oh arn o he given by several witnesses, among whom was Pas quale Thomasini, proprietor of the Italian Hotel, examined by Mr. Exham " I heard Massy co me to m y hotel in February.

I y he went away. lie didn't Shrove pay Tuesday, the bill day, before w' got several letters from him from London, which I gave to Mr. Hamilton. I recognise Fariolo's revol ver case, which he left in the house after him." When the Court opened yesterday morning Judge Keogh said as they were no w coming to the close of the week, and as it woul d be desirable to u cl e o n se eh , if proposed Pssi to possible, d t i h v e ide co t n h l e remaining missio nthis week, the business be tween the two courts, which accordingly would both sit to-morrow. He would wish to know if there was any objection to that course. The Solicitor-Gene ral said not. The trial then proceeded. The Crown produced evidence to show the finding of documents and other things at Thomas ini 'a hotel, implicating the prisoners, and the arrest of O'Mahony on the 16th of March. The case for the Crown having closed, Mr. Waters addressed the jury for the pri soners. He urged that there was not the slightest proo f showing Condon to be connected in any way with the Fenian conspiracy, either in America, London, or elsewhere. Mr. Heron followed on the same side, and was replied to by the Solicitor- General. A telegram announces that a verdict of " Not guilty" was returned by the jury, after three quarters of au hour's deliberation. A large num ber of the other prisoners were then arraigned, and pleaded " Guilty" to offences under the WThiteboy Act. Sentences were deferred. M'Afferty has received no intimation that the Queen's mercy has been extended to him as well as Burke. Yesterday Dr. Carte attended at Kilmain ham and admitted 46 p r i s oners to bail, who were then discharged. There are 40 m ore prisoners still untried, who are likely to be admitted to bail also. The reply of the Lord-Lieutenant to the deputa tion from Clonmel has caused some uneasiness as to the fate of the prisoners still under sentence of death. His Excellency said he was unable to give a definitive answer on the matter to which it re lated. It would be the duty of the Government to consider each case as it came before them on its own merits, and it would be very satisfactory if it should be possible to find grounds for extending to any and to all of them the same mercy which had been granted to the prisoners whose sentences had been already commuted. The authorities have deemed it advisable, under existing circumstances, to relax to a great extent the rigorous discipline which has been maintained in the various barracks in Dublin, and have reduced the different pickets to a nominal guard. The cattle show of the Royal Agricultural Society for Ireland will be held this year in St. Stephen's green, in the month of August. The Farmers' Club are making the necessary arrangements. FRIDAY EN - ENING. The Cork Special Commission closed this morn ing. The following sentences were passed : Kearns, 15 years' penal servitudo. ; M'Swiney, Lombard, Downing, Alter, Cummins, and Mo riart y , seven years ; Coughlan. and Geary, five years. The Judges departed at noon by the mail train. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. The 3loniteur of to-day is almost entirely tilled with reports of the discussions in the Chambers, which would not present any point of interest to your readers, and there is no news of importance of any kind. The Journal des Debuts says :—" At the present moment it is more difficult than ever to know what is going on in Mexico. The news which we receive from various sources contradicts itself most com pletely... According to an Austrian despatch, the Mexican 'Embassy at Vienna has publiSheci a state ment in the Vienna Gazette, asserting that the melancholy reports which had been in circulation for the last few days were absolutely false, and that sO far from the truth is the account of the Emperor having been made prisoner, the fact is that the Republicans had been compl,:tely beaten at Quere taro, and that Juarez had been compelled to take flight. The report is still prevalent that the Government intends to dissolve the Chambers. Upon this sub ject the Siecle says:— " What could be the motive for such a measure we do not know. Can it be that there is a difference of opinion upon several points of the proposed new military law between the Government and the com mission ? "has the Government to complain of the recep- tion of the projects of law 'which followed the letter of the 19th of January, and of the little enthusiasm which the Legislative Body manifests for reforms desired by the country. Although tranquillised for the moment, foreign difficulties may afford a motive for a dissolution of the Legislative Body. All the causes of the conflict are not yet removed, and it is of importance that the expiration of the mission of the Deputies should not be coincident with the manifestation of fresh complications." On Wednesday the Emperor reviewed in the Court of the Tuileries the five Companies of Franc-Tireurs des Vosges, after which his Ma jesty congratulated them upon their martial appear ance and good discipline. The ancestors of these noble men of Lorraine have filled.an important page in the history of France, and have acquired renown for their ardent patriotism in adverse times. Before the troops defiled, the Emperor attached the Cross of the Legion of lienour to the breast of Com mandant Bourgeois, an old veteran, who lost a leg at the siege of Sebastopol. The Correspondence Provinciale of Berlin says : Europe will see, in the visit of the sovereigns to the Court of France a fresh happy sign of the general strengthening of the pacific union. The meeting of those high personages will completely insure a durable good understanding. At the same time it will inspire the people with serious confi dence in the calm and abundant development of their prosperity, a development which is universally desired." The spectacle at the races on the Bois de Boulogne on Sunday is likely to be marvellous and unparal leled. On that day the race for the Grand Prize of 100,000 f. will take place. Ou the Grand Stand there will be, in addition to the Emperor and Empress, the Emperor of Russia and his two sons, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Prince and Princess of Prussia, the Duke de Leuehtenberg, and the Prince of Saxe Weimar. It will be a truly royal meeting. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies has adopted, by a large majority, a motion which declares uncon stitutional the nomination of M. Oberg, formerly a Hanoverian magistrate, to fulfil the functions o f Vice President of the Royal Court in the province of Silesia. This vote is chiefly directed against Count de Lippe, Minister of Justice, and it is not considered to indicate opposition to the general policy of his Ministry. Figures speak trumptet-tongued for the popu larity of the Great Exhibition. On Tuesday the number of persons who paid for admission was 88,945, and there was in addition a large number of subscribers. Yesterd ly the number of visitors was such that at one of the restaurants every scrap of bread and all the meat were consumed. A gen tleman who complained of delay in the service was told that it was impossible for the cooks to serve out the dishes fast enough. The park was splendid last night, but about 10 o'clock there was a heavy storm of rain, which created a good deal of excite ment and annoyance. There was tremendous havoc among the toilettes of the ladies. The Prince and Princess of Prussia were at the Exhibition. Another additional attraction in the park is the magnificent Russian stallion, Bedouin, which excites general admiration. The dromedaries have been paraded to-day with their keepers in national costume, and, as usual, have added much to the pleasure of the visitors. The weather has been exceedingly oppressive. The barometer indicates meteorological disturbances. A letter from Rome states that large numbers of LATEST INTELLIGENCE.' PARMA' (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) PRUSSIA. BERLIN, May 31.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—Some time back a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Notfo k, named Balls, on returning from liarieston Market, fell from his horse, and sustained so serious an illness inconsequence that all his hair came off. He was perfectly bald. His friend, the Rev. Mr. Daniel, offered him a wig as a tempo rary substitute; and in the meantime he tried very fortu nately the effects of Rowlands' Macassar Oil. What was the consequence? Part of a bottle produced the re-growth of a thick and luxuriant head of hair, with (what the first or original growth Lad NOT) a beautiful tendency to curl. This is a very striking instance of efficacy from the fact of the debility which preceded the restoration. THE JAMAICA OUTBREAK. In a Blue-book iS3UCTI yesterday, containing further correspondence relating to the affairs of Jamaica, the following very creditable despatches from the Earl of Carnarvon to Governor Sir J. • Grant are published . " Downing. street, July 30, 1866. " Sir, —By Mr. Secretary Cardwell's despatch No. 173, of the 18th of June, your predecessor Wag instructed to institute a careful investigation of those cases in which grave offences had bean laid to the charge of civilians during thisuppresAon of the recent disturbances in Jamaica, in order that such further proceedings might be taken as were requi site and just. I have no doubt that this most serious and painful duty will occupy your imme diate attention, but it is not the less my duty to C% - press to you the great importance which her Ma jesty's Government attach to a close and complete investigation of those cases which appear to you to call for it, and their anxiety that all classes in the island should know that in these, as in all other cases, they may rely on a strict and equal adminis tration of justice without fear or favour at the hands of the law and the representatives of the Crown. I have to instruct you to furnish me at the earliest day with a report of the proceedings which you have taken.—l have, &c., " CARNAUVON. " Governor Sir J. P. Grant, K.C.8., &c." " Downing-street, Aug. 1, 1866. " Sir,—Your predecessor forwarded in his de spatch to Mr. Secretary Cardwell, No. 73, of th e 24th of March, a return of the sentences inflicted by the special commission of Oyer and Terminer/ held at Kingston between 24th January and 9th March last, on persons implicated in the disturb" antes in Jamaica, or arrested on charges of sedition and treason. I find on examination of this return that many of the sentences thus inflicted are of grea t severity. Thirteen men and two women are sen tenced to penal servitude for life, andseven men Oa four women to penal servitude for 20 years, th e charge being felonious riot. I have no wish te , express any doubt of the justice or propriety o' sentences thus inflicted by a legally constituted tri bunal ; but it appears to me that as the investign" tion of the Royal Commission has enabled the Go vernment to appreciate more clearly than was Po' sible at the time the nature of the recent disturb.' antes and the guilt of those implicated in them, i t would be desirable that the proceedings of the COra' mission specially appointed to try those persons should now be revised ; and I wish you, therefore/ to call for the judges' notes, and, after consultation with the presiding judge under that Commission, t° report your opinion whether, in any of the W ee ; there are grounds for remitting any portion o f th sentences. —I have, &c., CARNARVON .
