Th e s hi ps so ld were no t a t a ll fitt e d f or th e 411 'ne marine, and that they had been sold for the v t o -lie of materials they contained. It would be satisfac for the House to know that at the t S ales all the ships sold brought excellent pri -3 ' and much above_ those expected. There had been e ti oe a . ,, t e offers for one or two ships, but they had been de g, and higher prices realised by the sale in the ,arket. The hon. gentleman seemed altogether to be n;i s r t . u nfortunate in his information.

N EW NATIONAL GALLERY . wb: Mr. -pERESPORD HOPE called attention to the delay h ew ite _hallor f :4a:clot,:le,r t. occurred Gallery' in Theproceeding question with theo of having building hav a of Nt t haee pnblicworthy of this country had been before Y years. On a recent occasion the Chan ha, ° I the Exchequer held out some bright hopes, b ig stated that a large portion of land had been :11°1111.t, upon which sooner or later, and he hoped I,oe:ter than later, the new building would be dis ed. It was time that the long continued Dier o. ae r : °f a national gallery not suited to the they 1 1 .-. au still less the pictures they:would have, kagat-i still less suited to the character of this great nation e l'era o e , i l i edt enlightened , and artistic country, should b eould ' Z A- great - institution like the National Gallery th e 1, be "tinkered " without bringing disgrace upon b e 1 1.1 : t • iell. He did not propose that they should lu s t -vlBll or extravagant in their outlay; but of theexPend as much as the great necessity but caae required. The hon. gentleman pointed c)ila that the building was peculiarly liable to fire. Iv eod e P a rts were fire proof more or less ; but the roof was N it ell, and had been scorched and baked by the sun for eoliart, years, and was probably reduced to the ehi, I°ll of touchwood. A spark from the great ugly oreci"y, Kinney vpclose by would set it on fire. He concluded by o g r for the correspondence between her Majesty's Office to tit; _ la ks S and the architect of the New National Gallery in 410411, ation of the returns ordered by the House of Com e° 1 1 1869 , and the report of the architect to the First Arissioner of Works. 11• GREGORY observed that the pictures were huddled together in the most unseemly manner, and any person acquainted with pictures knew perfectly well the extremely bad effect which was produced by the exhibition of works of art all thrust together. He hoped that the building would be erected on the ground which they now possessed, and which had been bought for the purpose. He called attention to the fact that almost every other country multiplied their galleries, and museums of art and science, and pointed to the advance which France and little Belgium were making in fancy articles in which taste was involved, and which he really be lieved was produced by the citizens of those countries being familiarised with objects of art. Mr. AYRTON said that there would be no opposition to the motion of the hon. member for the University of Cambridge. At the same time he observed that the First Commissioner of Works had no authority whatever to embark in a great undertaking, but merely performed the duty of fulfilling the instructions received from time to time from her Majesty's Government. He briefly re viewed the leading circumstances connected with the National Gallery, and alluded to various grants which had been made by Parliament, It was necessary that the Government and the House ' should consider what demands were made upon the public treasury for the construction of public buildings ; and supposing they were all anxious for a new National Gallery, they must consider which was of the greatesi public necessity. At no period had the Govern ment been called upon to undertake such a number of important public works as at the present time. They were imperatively demanded for the effective administration of public affairs. The Government were not asleep as regarded institutions of science and art, and he called attention to the work in progress at South Kensington. The hon. member for the University of Cambridge had referred to a statement made by the Chancellor of thel'Exchequer, but his words had reference to the British Museum. If they took a reasonable view of the matter they would come to the conclusion that the British Museum was more over= crowded than the National Gallery. In the latter one room was appriated to the exhibition of the pictures of one artist, and he maintained that they were under no ohligation to exhibit more than was enough to illus. trate his paarticular style of art. If they wanted to prevent fire, it would be wise to " clear out " those who resided in the gallery. At the same time they guarded against fire so much dreaded by the member for the Uni versity of Cambridge they would increase the accommo dation. Lord J. MANNERS remarked that votes of money had been granted readily by the Liberal Government for the purpose of becoming the possessars of the land in question for the specific purpose of constructing a new gallery, and for the last few years the House had been duped if these had been no intention of doing so. In point of fact the right hon. gentleman had told them that after all grants and inquiries by Royal Commission and Select Committee, everything was at sea again. Mr. COWPER-TEMPLE thought the first Commissioner of Works was the only man in the House who would be willing to let the National Gallery remain with its pre sent limited accommodation. He thought it would be a paltry saving to allow the gallery to remain in its present unsafe condition. It had a wooden roof, and in the event of a fire occuring, it was lamentable to think that the whole of the priceless collection stood in the greatest fear of total loss. He considered it wretched parsimony to defer building a proper receptacle for those pictures, of iron and glass, the outlay of which would be nothing in comparison with the feeling of security it would produce to know that the pictures were as far be- yond harm as it was possible to place them. Mr. T. BARING should like to knbw what the right hon. gentleman the First Commissioner of Works meant by his declaration that he did not wish to do things in a hurry. Why the question had been in agitation for twenty years. Money had been voted and land secured, and yet, notwithstanding that, increased accom modation was greatly needed. The Right Hon. gentleman said that there was not the slightest need of proceeding with the new National Gallery until some other pressing works had been accom plished. It was true that foreigners did not consider the national collection of pictures one of the highest order, yet not a hinglo' pert ou of taste and judgment who had walked through the gallery had failed to observe that the accommodation for hanging the pictures was altogether inconvenient. With respect to the trustees not making the most of the room they at present possess, they devoted one large apartment to a few pictures by Turner ; he bad to re mind them that the pictures were placed there in com pliance with the directions of the will, and if these direc tions were not for the future to be observed, he did not think many more bequests would be made to the nation. Mr. GLADSTONE repudiated the idea that the Govern ment intended postponing indefinitely the building of the new gallery. The only thing was that other works of a more pressing necessity were required, and the most urgent change in connection with the two national insti tutions was in respect of the natural history collection at the British Museum, and it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to submit a scheme with the view of effecting the necessary alterations in the course of the present session. _ _ After some remarks from Mr. Bentinck and Mr. A. Seymour, the motion was withdrawn. THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT. Mr. ROBERT FOWLER called attention to the recent disturbances at the Red River Settlement, and in doing so gave a sketch of the history of the settlement. He contended that when the people of the Red River Settlement were transferred to Canada it was the duty of the Government to have secured them the full manage ment of their own local affairs, a right which they had previously exercised under.the government of the Hudson's Bay Company, and they ought to have had a full and fair representation in the Canadian Parliament. The settlers, it appeared to him, had been sold like a lot of sheep. He believed that if the Government had sent over an Imperial commissioner to the settlement he would have ascertained the feelings of the people, and we should not have heard of the disturbances which had created so much interest and excitement. He did not intend to go into the recent events; but his object was simply to draw attention to the fact that the Red River settlers had not been treated with that consideration and justice to which they were entitled. Mr. MONSELL congratulated the hon. member and the House on the altered state of affairs at the Red River Settlement. The latest reports which bad been received from Canada stated that peace had been restored, and the Hudson's Bay Company had resumed possession of their different factories, and the whole of the community . were working together in harmony, and were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the expedition. That expe dition would not contain anybody who had been connected with the politics of the Red River Settlement, and the only desire would be to put the two races in firm and amicable relationship. So far as the antiquarian question as to the rights of the Hudson's Bay Company was concerned, they had been reported. upon by successive law officers of the Crown. With regard to the transfer, it was not a case of handing over the people against their will. The question of the transfer of the Hudson's Bay Territory to Canada had 'been discussed for many years, and not one single re monstrance had been made by the inhabitants of the Red River Settlement, and they could not have freer insti tutions than they would enjoy in Canada. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON moved an address to the Crown, praying that her Majesty would be pleased to issue a com mission to inquire into the causes of the great loss of life and property at sea during the last few years, and to con sider whether any and what changes can be made in exist ing laws and regulations with respect to collisions, over lading, stowage of cargo, and other matters, with the view of giving increased safety to passengers and merchant ships. The hon. baronet said that in 1858 there were 25,000 sailing ships in the United Kingdom and 1,900 steamers. During 1868 there were 26,000 sailing ships and 3,000 steamers. During 1858 the losses and casualties were 1,180, and in 1868 they were 1,747. Out of doors it was a matter of notoriety that the great cause of this increase of misfortunes at sea was the too prevalent habit of overloading. He referred to the subject of insurance, and remarked that no owner should have a pecuniary interest in the loss of a vessel. Alluding to the loss of the Sea Queen, he ex pressed his conviction that the poor sailors knew they were going to their death. He quoted from the evidence given respecting that vessel, laying particular stress upon the evidence of one of the witnesses that there was no legal power to ',prevent a vessel going to sea. Mr. O'llowd had said that the practice of overloading ex tensively prevailed, and he stigmatised it as abominable and homicidal. The hon. baronet asked the House if the time had not come to put a stop to such a state of things. He contended that the Board of Trade under any Govern ment was not Conducted satisfactorily, neither were the inquiries it instituted into the loss of vessels.. He asked why there had not been an in vestigation into the circumstances attending the loss of the City of Boston, with 200 lives. He thought owners, however innocent, ought to court inquiry instead of threatening actions. Every sacrifice of life ought to be investigated. -He recommended a careful and Impartial inquiry into the question, so that the bill might be framed according to the information thus obtained. Mr. SAMUDA seconded the motion. Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE said it was impossible to have lis tened to the speech of the hon. baronet without the deepest sympathy. At the same time he differed from THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAI, MAY 21, 1870. him when he said there was a great and growing loss of life and vessels. That was not the experience of the Board of Trade, although it was true that during the last twelve months the losses in the shipping had been prolific of great disasters. He admitted that there was consider able anxiety with regard to vessels going from the East Coast to the North of Europe ; and he should hail with pleasure any law which would put a stop to these losses. He said that far more losses were caused by the negligence of officers than from overloading,and denied that the Board of Trade was remissin instituting inquiries. The reason why the Board had not made an inquiry into the loss of the City of Boston was simply that they had no facts showing that she left Halifax in an unseaworthy con dition. The hon. gentleman briefly described the main features of a bill now before the House in reference to the question. The aim of the bill was to let the shipbuilders and shipowners build and sail their vessels as they pleased, but they would be held liable if any mischief arose. One of his proposals was to enable a seaman to call in a Board of Trade surveyor to examine a ship if it were thought unseaworthy, and also to enable him to give evidence. The hon. gentleman said that they also intended to improve the Courts of Inquiry, and the customs should take notice of the draught of water of vessels. There was no record as to the draught of the water of the Sea Queen. An inspection of all vessels, so asto test their seaworthiness, would involve a cost of R5OOOOO- a-year. Sir John Hay, Mr. Samuda, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. Graves, Mr. E. Smith, and Mr. Cave having addressed the House, the motion was withdrawn. MONETARY REP 0 R S -YESTERDAY. The stock markets opened with a fair amount of firm ness, notwithstanding that business was by no means brisk. But on receipt of the news of an outbreak in Portugal, coupled with the rumour of disturbances in Italy and Madrid an uneasy feeling was apparent. - Consols and foreign bonds were pressed for sale, and prices receded. A reaction, however, soon took place, and a portion of the decline was recovered. Consols have fallen 1, or to 94, 94A-for delivery, and 94k, 941 for June.

As regards the exchanges there is a demand fer bills on Italy and Spain, but the rates on Paris continue high. At Mark-lane to-day wheat was dull and lower to sell. The Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company have resolved to issue new £2O shares at £1 premium to the extent of £300,000, being a portion of the authorised issue of £3,000,000. The demand for money has been only to a moderate extent to-day. There has been a fair supply of capital, and Three Months' Paper has been negotiated at 2 to 3 per cent. Three Months' Paper has been charged 3to 31 per cent. In reference to the state of the bullion market Messrs.

A Peruvian railway loan for nominally £12,000,000 is understood to have been arranged to be introduced in Paris, London, and elsewhere, but upon conditions which will only involve a slow withdrawal of the subscribed captial. The prospectus of the new Spanish loan for £2,500,000, may also be expected next week. The failure of Messrs. H. Whale and Co., of St. Peter's square, commission agents for the sale of cloth, has been announced. Their liabilities are comparatively small.

Sir ROUNDELL PALMER called the attention of the House to the circumstances under which one of the Secretaries of her Majesty's Legation at Athens, and two English gentlemen in his company (together with the Secretary to the Italian Legation at the same Court), have recently been seized and barbarously murdered by armed banditti, suffered to be at large in the neighbourhood of Athens, and asked whether her Majesty's Government were able to state to the House what measures had been or would be taken to obtain from the Greek Government such satisfaction for this unprecedented outrage as her Majesty was entitled to claim according to the law of nations, and to ensure the due protection, for the future, of the lives of the diplomatic servants, and other subjects of the British Crown, within the Kingdom of Greece. The:hon. baronet spoke of the inviolability of the ambassa dorial character, and remarked that the two secretaries in question were entitled to the fullest protection in that sense. If an ambassador became subject to outrage or wrong it became the imperative duty of a State to use all its resources, to abstain from no moans whatever it could possibly use to deliver the person to whom the public faith was pledged from such a position of jeopardy. Under the circumstances of this case the House had to deal with an outrage of a most extraordinary and shock ing kind upon British subjects entitled to the protectio n of a friendly state, and also an outrage which had been perpetrated under circumstances much more upon those to whom the public faith of the Greek nation and govern ment were absolutely pledged, and to save whom nothing should have been left undone, which by every human possi bility could have been done on the part ofthe nation and the. people. The system of brigandage in Greece was of no ordinary kind. It had, he feared, if not a political origin, a great deal too much of a. political connection. The hon. baronet then pro ceeded to state the facts of the case, commenting on the circumstances according as they had been made known. Putting aside the diplomaticaSpeot of the case, there had been a failure in the performance of those duties which a country like Greece owed to the subjects of all nations. He argued that no technical objections on the part of the Greek Government should have stood in the way of the deliverance of captives to whom the faith of the country was pledged for their safety. One thing was perfectly plain—that by the exeroise of a little sound judgment, dis cretion, and common sense the lives of these gen tlemen would have been saved. All that was required was a little more time for parleying, and the abstaining on the part of the Greek Government from hostile action. It was not clear which party fired first • but it was evident that the cause of th e massacre was the fact of the troops being put in motion. In conclusion, he said he had had bright hopes of a new Greece emulating the virtues and the free dom of those Greeks to whom we were all so much indebted for a literature which had been the ornament and the instruction of mankind for ages. And even now he did not despair, and believed the lament able event would have the effect of producing a better state of things in Greece, and he could not help expressing his opinion that the occurrence afforded a most legiti mate opportunity of interposing, to urge upon Greece the necessity of putting an end to such anarchy, misery, and lawlessness. The rights which it gave to England to remonstrate, and more than remonstrate, were such that he owned it would be to him a disappoint ment if in the result it should not happen that in addition to the punishment of the guilty, which had already been demanded, in addition to that reparation which the Greek Government owed to the persons con nected with the misfortune to whom probably pecuniary reparation would be useful or acceptable, if the Govern ment did not avail themselves of the opportunity now offered to press upon the Greek Government in such a manner as should be effectual the ne cessity and the duty of making the lives of British subjects and those employed by the British Crown safe in the country. Sure he was that every Government in Europe would concur in any measure which might be necessary to enforce that duty upon the Greek Government, but surer still he was that if the course were taken it would redound more to the credit of Greece, and make the day when the calamity occurred, and the day when the British Government required due repara tion, a day to be remembered amongst the brightest annals of Greece, not for the crime and shame which accompa nied it but for the brighter future it would produce. Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER moved—" That this House, upon an examination of the papers that have been laid before it concerning the recent massacres in Greece, feels itself called upon to express an opinion that the conduct of the Greek Ministers has been highly unsatisfactory, and that this House invites her Majesty's Government to act as it thinks best on this opinion, and also to concert with its allies as to the best means of establishing in Greece a Government capable of satisfying the ordinary requirements of a civilised State." This motion was withdrawn. Mr. GLADSTONE, who rose to address the House about 23 minutes to two o'clock, said it was evident from the speeches of the hon. gentlemen who had spoken that the Government had not 'neglected to take steps. The Go vernment had demanded the fullest examination of the facts, requiring the means of full participation, or, at least, full cognisance of every step connected with the enquiry, and as they likewise would make the reason able claim that at the proper time, and yet not before the proper time, which was a point of no small importance, that condign punishment should be inflicted upon the guilty. He was sure the House would appre ciate what he had said about the punishment of the guilty not coming too soon, because there were many pas sages in the history of many countries in which it was found that the immediately guilty agents were but the tools and instruments of others, and their too rapid removal was one of the best and most effectual means of sup pressing the essential portions of the truth. Some weeks would probably elapse before they were in full possession of the facts of the case. Several orders and other business of an unimportant character were disposed of, and the House adjourned at three o'clock. MA RKE rS-YESTERDAY.

This morning, at 1 o'clock, Marshal Saldanha made a pronunciamento with six battalions, and proceeded to the Royal Palace, where he was opposed by the Guards. An encounter ensued, and seven soldiers were killed and thirty wounded. Marshal Saldanha took possession of Fort St. George. At four o'clock Marshal Saldanha entered the Royal Palace and had a long interview with the King, who sum moned the Prime Minister, the Marquis de Sould, to his presence. The latter at once tendered his resignation, which was accepted. Marshal Saldanha has now been entrusted with the for mation of a new Cabinet, in which he himself will hold the post of Ministio: of War. The City of Oporto and other towns made common cause with the movement, which, however, was of a purely military character. The people remained perfectly tranquil. A dissolution of the Chamber is considered probable. LISBON, May 20. More precise accounts have now transpired cone era,. ing the Pronunciamento against the Soule Ministry. By a concerted military movement, directed against the Ministry, a large body of troops, with the Duke of Saldanha at their head,went to the Azuda Palace early this morning. The Government, warned of the movement, had placed troops and artillery round the Palace. Shots were fired, and several soldiers were killed and wounded, but afterwards all the troops fraternised. The King then summoned the Duke of Soul 4, who thereupon resigned!, and the Duke of Saldanha was charged to form a Cabinet. The Castle was occupied by armed peasantry, and the national flag was hoisted. During the fining between the troops a volley was discharged at the windows of the Palace. The popular cry is " Long live the King, the Army, and the Duke of Saldanha. Down with the Ministry !" The provinces are much agitated. AMERICA. WASHINGTON, May 19.

ANTICIPATED VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO READING. It is stated, on what is said to be good authority, that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will visit Reading in six weeks time for the purpose of laying the foundation stone of the new Grammar School iu that town. Great preparations are being made by the . Corporation for his reception. The Prince of Wales will also be invited to witness the rapid firing of the Soper breech-leader gun, invented by Mr. Soper, of Reading, and which throws shot upon the target at the rate of sixty in one minute. The town will be illuminated, and triumphal arches erected. Ladies and gentlemen will be invited to present purses of money to his Royal Highness as contributions to the school fund. Nearly ten thousand pounds has been already contributed. Sir Francis Goldsmid, Bart., MP., and Mr. George Pal mer, proprietor of the Reading biscuit factory, have each given five hundred pounds to the funds. The Queen has been memorialised to become patroness of the school, but her Majesty has declined,' for the simple reason that it is unusual for her to do so with an institution not already in existence. No doubt her Majesty will acquiesce when the building is raised. THE HEALTH OF MR. BRIGHT. A correspondent states that as there has been so many stories afloat regarding the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade, a visit has been paid to the George Hotel, Llandudno, where he has been staying for the past six weeks. Mr. Bright, he states, is now quite covered. His medical man has left him for some days past, and the hon. gentleman daily takes his walks and rides. He is so far able to dispense with quietness that a portion of his family have arrived. Mr. Bright says Llandudno has made him a " hundred per cent. better," and certainly he looks it, being apparently once more well and, vigorous. The hon. gentleman, after a little longer enjoiment os the locality and its beneficial effects, will, it is understoOd, return to Rochdale, and afterwards to his parliamentary duties.

Last night, at nine o'clock, as a gentleman named Roe was passing down Queen's-lane, Cambridge, with Mr. Wellsford, the chapel clerk of Trinity College, they heard a cry of alarm proceeding from the lodge of the Provost of King's College, and their attention was attracted, to flames in the servants' bedroom. Prompt measures were taken, and, happily, the fire was speedily got under, the damage being confined to the room in which it originated. The lodge is an old structure containing a great deal of wood, and a large number of valuable paintings be queathed by former:provosts. The damage would have been irreparable had the fire not been discovered at this early stage. THE STRIKE AT NEW BACKWORTH. The strike of the miners at New Backworth Colliery still continues. Further evictions were made yesterday. A strong body of policemen were on the ground, but they have not been interfered with in their work.
