The E ar l of CARNARNON inquired of her Majesty's er°Nrenunent what measures they were prepared to adopt to obtain redress from the Greek Government for the re eeut seizur e i n t h e i mmediate neighbourhood of Athens, sad the barbarous murder of English subjects, under cir cumstances of grave suspicion attaching to the Greek 4°veruroent and certain other persons both in and out ° f office in that country. The noble earl took the oppor tuity of recap it u l at i ng t h e f acts o f th e a ff a i r, an d lla hl the calamity was brought about by three causes; the first b e i ng th e assurance g iv en t o travellersb that no danger need be apprehended, Y Persons travelling in the particular part of that refusa l where th e seizure was made. Secondly, the ' e tusal of an amnesty to the brigands ; and thii dly, the r' e ment of troops, f or all of which, he contended, the re e k Government was to blame. The most ter r ibl e consequences followed the proceedings of that Govern vttlent, and for whi c h h e b e li eve d th e un i versa l op i n i on the t hey were entirely responsible. It appeared that Greek G overnment never actually took any trouble about the matter as they refused everything they were t he to d o ; an d further, i t was most extraord i nary how ' ete legranis on the subject were delayed. Such conduct cad been displayed by the Greek Government he 011 h 1 scarcely trust himself to speak of, and with respect ‘0 the resignation of General Soutzos, he was afraid it was °III Y don e to cover those who remained behind. He Z beved t h e noble earl opposite had done everything it ( Zs Possibl e f or hi m to d o, b ut w i t h respect of the Greek e vermnenthis opinion was the reverse. He strongly dePre 4otefad anything bein g done as was the desire of the Greek v erument A i n secret, and he had the fullest confidence in th e noble earl not consenting to any such proposal. bThe Earl o f C LARENDON sa id h e was not surpr i se d t h at e subj ec t h ad b een brought forward by the noble earl, ;4 be felt no goo d resu l t cou ld b e o b ta i ned b y d i scussing at that time at any length. It was a matter of the highest satisfaction for him to know that no blame what el-was attached to her Majesty's Governme n t by th e th e of th e un f ortunate part i es, or t h at i t was t h ought th at they had not done all that was in their power on that -,e e e luu to save the lives of the unfortunate captives. : e felt h e need hardly assure the no b le lord that i lre r7 effort h a d b een ma d e t o prevent t h e fatal p,411e, but unfortunately without success.

With respect to adjourning on the Tuesday instead of the Thursday next week, he must be guided solely by the state of the public business. He had the greatest desire to consult the general conviction in making the necessary arrangements. Mr. HARDY asked whether it was intended to proceed with the Parliamentary Elections Bill next Monday. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply, said the bill would certainly not be taken on that day. In reply to an Hon. Member, Mr. GLADSTONE said he proposed fixing the proceeding with the Education Bill for the 16th of June. The amendments, he believed, would be placed on the paper either by Wednesday or Thursday next. Mr. G. HARDY opposed the measure, contending that there ought to be distinctive religious teaching. Mr. NEWDEGATE complained that anything which af- fected the Roman Catholic Church excited more interest than did a measure relating to the Church of England, and called attention to the thin attendance. Mr. G. DENMAN said the present state of things could not last, and as a member of the Church of England, and with a hearty wish for her prosperity, he should support the measure. Mr. BERESFORD-HOPE said that, whilst he was prepared to make large concessions, he regarded the bill as an in equitable measure. On a division the second reading was carried by a large majority-191 against 66. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, May 23. The Government has presented a bill to the Corps Legis latif fixing a Senator's annual salary at 15,000 fr. M. Legris, the Finance Minister, has declared himself favour able to the abolition of the newspaper stamp duty, and an increase of 2 centimes instead of the postal tax on politi cal journals. This charge is to come into force in 1872. The manager of the Rappel de Provence, M. Alerini, has been arrested. • A serious accident has befallen M. Vandal, the direc tor of the Post-office. His pony chaise„was overturned in the Bois, and he was seriously hurt. THE BOURSE. MAY 23, Afternoon. Rentes closed at 74f. 65c., or 20c. lower than on Saturday. SPAIN. MADRID, May 23. The Expartero Committee have announced the Marshal's answer. He would accept the throne of Spain if elected by the Cortes. The Duke of Montpensier, according to the Tempe, has demanded that a vote on his candidature shall be taken from the Cortes. Official news from Havana, May 21, states that the in surgents have been defeated, eight leaders and ninety six men being killed, and 20 taken. NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT. BERLIN, May 23. Count Bismarck has declared that the abolition of capi tal punishment could not be acceded to, as it would de stroy the unity of the penal law of the Federal Govern ment. Herr Ploak therefore withdrew his motion, and the Parliament, by a division of 127 against 119, restored the punishment. in the arrival of the mail steamers Celt and Cambrian, the former of which arrived on the 7th, and the later on the 12th of April. New taxing bills were progressing through the House of Assembly, but the House Tax Bill had been much modi fied in committee. A bill to consolidate the public debt of the colony had been introduced into the Assembly at the suggestion of the Crown agents, with the object of redeeming the debt in 37 years. Governor Wodehouse would leave the colony by the next mail steamer, General Hay, Commander of the Forces, administering the Government until the arrival of Sir H. Barkly. The Renown, with troops from Madras, arrived at Table Bay on the 14th inst., and left on the 17th for England. Her Majesty's ship Myrmidon left Simon's Bay on April 13 for the West Indies, and the Lynx on . the 14th for Gibraltar. THE FALMOUTH, GIBRALTAR, AND MALTA TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.

Simultaneous despatches from Montpelier, Vermont, and Buffalo announce Fenians moving on Canada in large num bars. This afternoon they left Buffalo, Burlington, and Plattsburg for the frontier. THE FENIANS AND THE RED RIVER INSUR- RECTION. (By Atlantic Cable.) NEW YoRK, May 23. Colonel Warren, the American Fenian imprisoned in England, has petitioned Congress for redress. An agent of Riel has arrived at Chicago to consult the Fenian leaders concerning the obstruction of the Cana dian expedition. He meets, however, with little encou ragement. Reliable evidence shows that Riel is satisfied with the Canadian compromise. THE GREEK MURDERS. Mr. MONK asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs- whether the courier,Alexandros Anemayanni, who accompanied our fellow countrymen to Marathon on the 11th April was the same individual whose name appears in the Foreign Office List for 1870 as a courier in the service of her Majesty's Minister at Athens ; and, if so, whether he was at the time of the massacre still in her Majesty's Service, or when and for what cause he had been dismissed from that employment. Mr. OTWAY replied that Alexandros Annemayanni,who accompanied the unfortunate party to Marathon was the same person who appeared in the .Foreign Office list as interpreter in the service of the British' Legation. This list, however was not an official publication, although it was a very useful one. It was true that he was dis missed for misconduct, but Mr. Erskine did not state what that misconduct consisted of. Alexandros was paid up to the 13th September,flB66. PRIVILEGES TO NAVAL OFFICERS. Lord HENRY SCOTT asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether any recommendation had been made by the Treasury to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty which had led to the withdrawal of the privilege hitherto enjoyed by the officers of her Majesty's navy while serving on foreign stations, enabling them to send letters to and to receive letters from their relations find friends at a re duced rate of postage, and if he would state the reasons upon which the recommendation, if any, has been based. Mr. STANSFELD replied that for some time the officers of her Majesty's Navy, and also the officers serving on board ships on foreign stations, and also the officers serv ing in the army in India and the Colonies, had enjoyed special priveleges. Various technical and troublesome questions had from time to time arisen as to the condi tions under which they were entitled to these pri vileges. But besides this the contracts for the packet services involved a charge very often upon the colonies and dependencies, and it appeared a matter of doubtful expediency and equity ; and they should on their own discretion give special exemptions to their own subjects when the charge of these exemptions fell upon the dependencies and colonies. For this reason, and in consequence of the advantage of simplicity of arrangement, the Government came to the conclusion that it would be advisable to dis continue these exemptions. The correspondence would throw no additional light upon the subject, inasmuch as the decision of the Government was arrived at on the general grounds he had stated. UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second reading of this bill, and in doing so said he hoped and confidently ex pected that if the House should pass the measure into law it would favourably settle, at once and for ever, the great religious difficulty in the universities and col leges of this country, and that question once put out of the way, the universities would be able to go forward with these educational and academical improvements, which he thought no fair man, especially with the event of the last few weeks in his memory, could deny to be wanted. The bill, if made law, would altogether receive parliamentary protection from the Church of England, and it would throw open to the univer sities, and colleges, alike to the whole of the people or rather it provided that in future no well-affected subjects of the Queen should, upon the grounds of religious opinion alone, be debarred from the opportunity of sharing in the great advantages of those magnificent foundations, and their great and ennobling associations. The Church of England would have to rely upon her inherent strength • In fact, the Church of England never was, or, at all events, it was undeniable that for many a long year she had ceased to be the exclusive religious communion of the whole people of the country, and discussing the alleged effect the abolition of the tests would have upon the Established Church, he asked if the Church were so weak and Dissent so strong that it could only flourish by parliamentary protection, and that if that protection were withdrawn, the one must fall and the other triumph ? He did not think so, but believed that the most just and magnanimous policy would turn out to be the best and wisest. With regard to endow ments, he said no one would pretend to say that endow ments were or ever could be perpetual ; and as no one had attempted to draw the line upon the one side on which it was right to interfere, and on the other upon which it was wrong to interfere, the matter was re duced from a question of right and wrong to one of , expediency, wisdom, and equity. The fellowships had been excluded from the operation of the bill. If the mea sure were passed a new life would be breathed into the old, but still grand and vigorous institutions, and it could satisfy the just and reasonable aspirations of many men who were now unrighteously kept out of the benefits to which they had a fair claim, without any corresponding advantage to religion. Mr. WALPOLE complained that the bill gave no guaran- tee that the religious character and teaching of the colleges should not be impaired. He had a great objection to the present bill, because for the first time it treated both the universities and colleges combined; but such a proceeding was not embodied in the bill of last year. It was teen open to those who objected to either of the propositions to raise the question at one or other of the points in the bill, and in the event of the bill passing a second reading, it was also open for them to make certain alterations in committee, but the arrangement of the measure now under discussion precluded such being done so that it left those who objected to the measure but one course open, and .that was to move the rejection of the bill. The proposals of the pre sent measure as now framed were mere than usually objectionable, because as the clauses now stood it was quite possible for Nonconformists to secure all the highest honours in the Universities, a step that he could not for a moment consent to. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to contend that most of the foundations of the different colleges where private and not State be quests, and therefore it was most improper that the wishes of those who made them should be set aside by an Act of Parliament. He would give to every person the benefits which would be given ja respect of education either of the universities or colleges, but he contended for securities being given that the religious character and teaching of the institution should not be impaired. He pointed out that by one clause of the Bill a Roman Catholic would be enabled to hold the mastership of a college. This being the case the measure could not be considered a conciliatory one. In his opinion the bill would be the commencement of the disestablishment of the Church of England. The bill would divorce religion from learning, and he moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Lord E. FITZMAURICE supported the bill. After some remarks from Mr. C. Raikes, Mr. E. J. Sartoris, and Mr. Moubray, Mr. GLADSTONE addressed the House. In the course of his speech he said that the general object of the bill left the college to the operation of the statutes which de pended for their shape at the present time, and for the modification they might undergo from time to hime hereafter, when the joint action of certain powers, who were on the ono hand the members of these venerable corporations, and en the ether the political authority entrusted by Parliament, with power to control that action. The proceedings that might be taken in the exercise of these powers were sure, humanly speaking, to be a fair representation of public opinion of the country. If the Church of England retained that place in the affections of the country he believed she now held there would be her security for retaining an adequate influence and position in the universities. If, on the other hand, happily as some might think, but un happily as he should say, the day arrived when the Church of England, either through her demerits or divisions, should lose that position in the affections and convictions of the country, in vain would they surround her with factitious barriers of statutes and laws, because these barriers would inevitably give way before the pressure of altered public opinion. The effect of the bill was not to destroy those provisions which the statutes might contain for the religious worship, dis cipline, and teaching, except only in so far as they con flicted with the personal equality of individuals, where they required the imposition of tests, where they confined the admission to power and functions in the universities adn colleges to members of the Church of England, there the statutes were repealed. THE IRISH LAND BILL. Shortly before ten o'clock the House went into com mittee on the Irish Land Bill, and again considered the new clauses proposed to, be inserted. The attendance of members was unusuallylarge, and the proceedings were again characterised by a disposition to bring the measure to an ultimate stage. Several of the clauses were not urged upon the committee for consideration, and other proposals were but impatiently listened to. At half-past twelve the schedule as amended was agreed to, and the preamble was few minutes after agreed to amid cheers. The bill will be reported on Thursday. GAS AND WATER FACILITIES BILL. This bill was read a second time and passed. EXTRADITION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a bill for amending the law relating to the extradition of criminals. SLIGO AND CASHEL DISFRANCHISEMENT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND obtained leave to bring in a bill for the disfranchisement of the boroughs of Sligo and Cashel. As the hour was late he did not make any statement. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTI TUTIONS. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the select committee on Conventual and Monastic Institutions consist of sixteen members, and that the Lord Advocate be added to the committee. At present Scotland was only represented by one member. The LORD ADVOCATE begged the House not to appoint him on the Committee, inasmuch as his many public engagements would interfere with his devoting the time to the inquiry which its importan ce d eserve d . _ _ Mr. NEWDEGATE divided the House on the proposition that the committee should consist of sixteen members, and his motion was rejected by a majority of 98 to 36. The House adjourned at a quarter past one. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING. AT THE WEST END.

Louise Beaumont, aged 12, who attempted to drown her self in the Highgate Ponds a . few days ago, w as b roug h t up again at the Highgate police court. It was stated that her father had made arrangements to place her in a refuge at Mile End. Colonel Jeakes said he had received a re port from the chapbsin of the House of Detention, stating that there was nothing the matter with the child. She was a very intelligent, sensitive child, and the beating that had been inflicted on her had made her attempt to take her life. The girl said she was very sorry, and then left the court with her parents. A PITTSBURG CASHIER.—The Pittsburg Mail states that a few days ago a teller in one of the Pittsburg banks found at the close of the day's transactions that his cash was $5OO deficient, and he had to stand the loss. One morning a letter was received containing an offer to restore the amount if a suitable reward was adyertised. The handwriting was disguised, but a careful comparison with every cheque he had paid on the day convinced the teller that he was on the trail. ,Being a resolute fellow, he went on the same evening, well arme44 to the house of the suspected party, and presenting his pistol said he would shoot the man on the spot if the money was not instantly forthcom He brought away a cheque for the $5OO. THE LATE MURDERS IN GREECE.—The English press thunders vigorously against the helpless govern ment that pretends to rule in Greece. An aggravating point in this matter is that the deaths of the unfortunate tourists were directly caused by the action of the Greek authorities The men could have been released on ran som, but the active measures of the Government drove the outlaws to an extreme act.

There this Govern ment had stood face to face with the brigands for a month and manifested no severe spirit of justice, but the mo ment its activity may kill a 'dozen travellers it becomes frightfully active.--New York Herald. NEGRO EQUALITY.—A case was recently before the United States' Circuit at Baltimore in which a coloured man claimed and obtained damages against the Baltimore City Passenger Railroad Company for ejecting him from the interior of one of their cars and compelling him to stand on the platform. Judge Giles decided that he had a right to as good a place as the white man; but he added that a public carrier, if he gives equally comfort able accommodation to all, may separate passengers, not only by the rule of sex, by providing a ladies' car, but also by the rule of colour, with a view to secure order and promote the comfort of both. It is stated that the company will run white men's cars and coloured men's cars. (ADVERTISEMENT ]--HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—This medicine has resisted every test which time, prejudice, and vested interests could impose upon it, and it at length stands forth triumphant as the most reliable remedy for those derange ments of the system so common at the change of seasons. When the air grows cooler and the functions of the skin are retarded, an occasional dose of Holloway's Pills will call on the liver and kidneys for greater activity, and compensate the system for diminished cutaneous action. As alteratives, aperients, and tonics, these Pills have no equals, To very aged and delicate persons, whose appetite is defective, diges tion infirm, and tone of health low, this medicine will be a precious boon, conferring both ease and strength.

DEATH OF AN UNDERGRADUATE BY DROWNING. Yesterday afternoon a student of Corpus College, Cam bridge, named E. Streten, was drowned in the Granta. It appears that he was noticed to go past the bathing-shed in his canoe, but shortly afterwards the boat was seen floating down empty. The stream was drugged, and the body found in a few minutes. SAD CALAMITY AT SEA. The Asterias, of Boston, Captain Sloane, 800 tons register, bound from Cardiff to Hong Kong with 1,230 tons of steam coal on board, and fourteen hands, all told, when twenty miles off Sandy Island, on Saturday last, at a quarter to 10 a.m., caught fire and blew up. The captain was killed and one of the crew. Three men and the second officer were badly_ injured. The surviving portion of the crew took to the boats, and were picked up by the brigantine Success, of Dublin, and taken to Mounts Bay, whence they were brought to Penzance yes terday. It appears that when the explosion occurred the deck parted in the middle, and each side was blown up. The captain, who was blown overboard. as was also a coloured man who was at the wheel, was picked up alive, but died almost immediately. The uninjured sailors had barely time to get the ship's two boats afloat, and their less fortunate companions into them, ere the yards and rigging came down about them. On arriving at Mounts Bay, in consequence of a calm, the men took to their boats again, intending to row to Penzance, but a breeze springing up they were taken in tow by the schooner Beryl. The explosion is said to have occurred from a seaman going below with a light. ASSAULTS AT THE LONGFORD ELECTION. At the Longford Petty Sessions yesterday Mr. James Murtagh, Dublin, was charged by Sub-Inspector Ball with having assaulted a man named Doyle'on the day of nomination in ,Longford, when followed by a mob, and with assaulting himself by tearing his tunic. Mr. Murtagh had a case against Mr. Ball for an assault, which was withdrawn, and the other cases dismissed. Mr. H. L. King Harman, father of the defeated candidate, was charged by Sub-constable Mowry with an assault on the same day, by giving him a punch with a stick when he refused to discharge a prisoner he had in custody on his order as a magistrate. Mr. Harman denied having made an intentional assault, and had a cross case against the polieeman for giving him a punch and a kick. Evidence having been taken, the magistrates dismissed both cases. Mr. Molloy, assisted by Messrs. Fair and Fleming, appeared for Mr. Harman; and Mr. Murtagh and Mr. M`Loughlin, assisted by Mr. Reynolds, appeared for the constabulary There were a number of other cases arising out of the late election, which were withdrawn at the suggestion of the Bench. THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE. Mr. Heygate, Conservative, and Mr. Paget, Liberal, candidates for the representation of South Leicestershire, addressed their supporters at Leicester last night; the former at the Corn Exchange, under the presidency of Mr. Charles Brook, Enderly Hall, and the latter at the Temperance Hall, Alderman Toiler, president of the Liberal Registration Society, chairman. Mr. Heygate hoped the Irish Land Bill would be more effectual for the pacification of Ireland than the Church Bill had been. He was opposed to compulsory education and rating, and praised Mr. Forster for his statesmanlike method; but could not give equal praise to the Government in regard to colonial policy, because our colonies were alienated from the mother country. He deprecated Free Trade as carried out by the French Treaty, and could not see why any alteration should not be made when it was known that it had failed. In reference to the Malt Tax, he thought some of the enormous surplus might have been applied to reducing to some extent the duty on malt for the benefit of agriculturists. Mr. Paget, in his speech, said, though he had strong objection to the ballot, he should support it if returned. Referring to Ireland, he pointed out that the Irish Church Bill was the first instalment of justice to that country; and that when landlord and tenant had equal justice done to them Ireland would be as prosperous as any other portion of the kingdom. Mr. Paget advo cated the abolition of university tests, opposed the game laws, and said he should give an unre stricted support to Mr. Gladstone. Both meetings were largely attended, the candidates being well received. The contest is likely to be a close one. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at Campsall, a village near Manchester, on the body of s t child four years old, who was supposed to have died from the effects of criminal violence, a man named Gough being under committal for trial for the criminal assault, which was committed as late as the Bth April last, according to the prisoner's confession while he was drunk. The child's mother gave evidence that, though previously healthy, she had drooped since the day of the assault, and shortly afterwards became subject to convulsive fits, and died on Friday. Two surgeons, who made a post-mortem exami nation, deposed that the child died from disease of the brain, which might have been accelerated, but was not caused by the violence to which she had been subjected. The coroner said that in the face of such medical tom_ mony, however surprising it might be, he co-' recommend the jury to return a verdict - -4'd not After considerable hesitation ' child died from npstural n•—• jury found that the _.. murder. - -.uses.
