" 'Tis a very pretty quarrel as it stands," said Sir Lucius O'TRIGGER. And so also may it be said by us of this still continued Budget Fight between the Government and the Opposition. But—How does it stand just now ? Look at the close of last night's proceedings in the House of Commons, and the political situation, the financial situation, becomes very readily comprehensible. There is the House in Committee upon the im perial and vital question of the " Tramways (Ire land) Act Amendment Bill." Clause 1 is agreed to without any division, Clause 2 the Committee divides upon, and it is carried by a clear majority of 51 in a house of 263 a wonderful number of members surely to have been attracted down to the House by a measure of such a character! Clause 3 being proposed, Mr. BUTT moves that the Chairman report progress—an extra ordinary proceeding under the circumstances. Suspicions are upon the instant aroused as to the cause of this sudden and, to say the least of it, very singular proposition. Mr. POPE HENNESSY, like an impulsive young man, as he is, blurts out the suggestion that the proposal is only made to faci litate the business of the Government. Thereupon there gradually rises as stormy a scene as the House of Commons has witnessed for many a long--day we were going to say—for many and many a long night. Let us skim off just the cream of this little impromptu, and most discursive, and highly perso nal discussion. The noble lord the member for Stamford, the Hotspur of the Opposition, rises soon after this, very abruptly, for the purpose of rapping out a few sharp things in regard to the progress of Public Business. He declares, point blank, in so many words that the course now being pursued by the Government in respect to the summary in terruption at that hour of the Committee upon the Irish Tramway Bill manifestly— these are his w ords—" had reference to ulterior steps to be taken with respect to the Budget, and was of a piece with the devices by which that scheme had been characterised from be ginning to end—devices by which it was proposed to wreak the vengeance and spite of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the House of Commons—devices, he might add, more worthy of a country attorney than of a statesman. If," added Lord ROBERT CECIL, " the right hon. gentleman sought to force his Budget on before the proper time it was, of course, open to him, backed by a majority, to do so; but he was sure such tactics as those to which it would seem he was condescending to resort for the purpose would neither advance his own reputation nor tend to expedite the measures." Bold, blunt words—full of personality—yet words that, while they are greeted with loud cheering, are permitted to pass by, for the time being, without any response save what might be regarded as Such in Mr. CONING ITAWS incidental reprehension of an attack of that nature, directed against the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Eventually, after a little further argu ment, the Committee divides upon the question that the Chairman report progress, the motion being carried by a clear majority of 102, in a House now of 260 members, the Chairman leaving the chair, and progress being reported accordingly. Then it is that the confronting athletes grapple with each other in real earnest. Mr. DISRAELI puts it to the House, puts it to the Government, puts it directly to the First Lord of the Treasury, whether it be really "convenient" (to use the mildest be really " convenient" to pro phrase), whether it reed at that hour of the evening with a matter of such importance as the Budget, and under circum stances so very peculiar, in some respects so abso- The Premier, thus appealed lutely unprecedented. to, rashly replies upon the spur of the moment — "I think this matter is quite RS important as tie Irish Tramways Bill, and I don't see why we should not g o on with it." Lord PALMERSTON, we say, rashly replies in these words, for, immediately he has done so, Lord lousr \IANNER3 quietly re marks—" Some little time ago I think the noble lord said the Irish Tramways Bill was much too P important a subject to be proceeded w i t h at so late an hour as elf past 11 o'clock. I hop e he is pre nrieciple in re gard to this pared to carry out 11, ..f matter." Something, certainly, in,. - ,c a retort direct —that ! Insomuch that the Chancellor ` 4. the Exchequer has nothing then for it but to rise himself and calmly, but quite firmly, to insist upon it that the business of the House in regard to the Budget ,most, as a matter of course, be proceeded with at once, and without any further delay what ever, as proposed by her Majesty's Government. Thereupon HOTSPUR is "at it" again —and that too more loudly, more outspokenly than ever. " Often as I have heard,e says Lord ROBERT CECIL, " the strongest and strangest statements from the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, I am abs o lute ly the audacity which he has exhibited on the present occasion." He then goes on to argue the question, —" What the Government are now proposing is to subdue the Howse of Lords. This is the stage at which the Government intend to obtain power to take a course hitherto unprecedented for half a century. It has been the practice hitherto to divide all measures of finance into separate Bills, and to send them up separately to the House of Lords ; but now, for a special object, to avenge a special defeat, to gratify a special pique, and to gain the doubtful votes of a special political section, it is propose d to vary the practice of half a century, and yet the right hon. gentleman stands at that table and tells us he is proposing to take the usual and invariable course." So soon as the noble lord has resumed his seat, Sir GEORGE GREY takes up the cudgels for his colleague the Chan cellor of the E x chequer—exclaiming in regard to Lord ROBERT CECIL—" He has used language to-night which I will not characterise, since I sup pose [an admission this !—and one that not unna turally elicits loud ringing Opposition Cheers !]— since I suppose it was within the strict rule of Parliamentary debate." Sir GEORGE adds, how ever,—thereby calling forth responsive cheers from the occupants of the Ministerial benches—" But it was language that we happily hear from few mem bers of this House." After Sir JOHN PAKINGTON has expressed a vain hope that the Government would even then think better:of it, and withdraw their very urgent proposition, the House divides upon the question of adjournment, ti the'motion being defeated by a clear majority of 62 in a House then of 258 members. Thereupon quoth the Chancellor of the Exchequer—for he could say it then with dignity, having a majority—" I do not think it will be any advantage to the progress of public business to endeavour to press further the proposal of the Government, if there is a disposition on the part of the minority not to allow us to pursue the usual course, It is our business to construe in the most favourable manner the course of the Opposition, and I feel quite sure it does not indi cate any intention to obstruct the progress of public business. I shall therefore propose that further progress on this order of the day be adjourned until Thursday. It has this special advantage," Mr. GLADSTONE cannot help adding, "that it will allow the noble lord the member for Stamford time to reconsider the vocabulary in which he has addressed us." Upon that vocabulary, however (while, upon it, observe ! the Speaker has nothing to say !)—Mr. DISRAELI, as Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition, has something to say, very different, indeed, to what is implied in that haughty sneer of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. " I am glad," observes the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks, " I am glad my noble friend the member for Stamford has received this public acknowledgment from the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the efficiency of his powers of expression. I confess I have listened with satisfac tion to the noble lord both last night and to-night, as it appeared to me that I never heard more constitu tional opinions expressed in more effective language. I hope that on Thursday the noble lord the member for Stamford will be prepared to take part in our debates in which I think he has greatly distin guished himself. I was extremely pleased. by the meek tone in which, with this exception, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer conducted the business. I hope the right hon. gentleman and all his col leagues have found out that the best way to manage the House of Commons is to defer to any reason able request. It may be very well to bully a colleague. But there is one body in the world who I can assure her MAJESTY'S Government can not be bullied, and that is the House of Commons." Plain speaking, all that certainly--" with [this doubtless, yet to come from one side or from the ether] a vengeance !" Thy combatants are now fairly breathed—but the buttons by this time are knocked off the foils—and there is a gleam in the eyes of each that "means mischief." We shall see another fight of it yet before the financial measures are passed on, from the House of Commons, to that " other place" not to be whispered of by name in ears polite within hearing of the Right Hon. the Speaker. To-morrow evening we shall know more about it—as to the How, the When, and the Where the next battle will be provoked by the Opposition in respect to the fiscal and financial policy of the powerful and—so very recently upon the last trial of their strength—successful Liberal Government. The best part of an evening was given last night to the lonian Islands. We certainly must num ber ourselves with those who think them hardly worth it. Mr. MAGUIRE thought, however, he had got hold of a clever device for quizzing Lord JOHN RUSSELL a little, by appealing to his des patch in favour of nationalities, as justifying the islands in their desire to be united to Greece. Except for this little bit of pleasantry we hardly see anything in Mr. MAGUIRE'S motion to justify his long speech. He did not certainly want the blue books, which would have followed on the suc cess of his motion—it was quite enough for him to tease the Foreign Secretary, by telling him, that on the principles which he assigned as valid in the case of the revolted subjects of the POPE and the other absolute monarchs of Italy, he must be pre pared to part with the islands to which in his previous and unpopular despatch, he had alluded as " our interests in the Adriatic." This opportu nity was too tempting-to be lost, but then, it laid the member for Dungarvan open to the reproach of inconsistency in his former defenee of Italian den pots. But what ought to be done ? No one seemed disposed to make any proposal, though all practi cally came to one result—that we must not act precipitately ; like Mr. DISRAELI, on Thursday night, we must take time to reflect. What, then, are the facts on which we have to reflect ? That, for one thing, we have a protectorate which gas placed in our hands by the assent of all European Powers, and that, when we took it, the inhabitants were glad enough of such a security against the Turks, the then Lords of Greece ; and they cer tainly had then neither any wish to come under the Mussulman dominion, nor any means, unaided, of defending themselves against any Power. As soon, however, as Greece gained her independence, the seemingly never -dying sentiment of nationality began to show itself, and has been growing ever since. To us, looking on, it seems a s if it could be no gain to come under the German rule of King Onto, and almost to merge their liberties in the venal Govern ment of Athens; but the Islanders think differently ; the real freedom they enjoy under QUEEN VICTORIA seems to them a kind of bondage, because it i s governed by a foreign nation ; and L byo A n ß e D seemedoftotally dineLv..4, rice and language. Mr. Ay inclined to explain away {hie difficulty, but it is a prmanent one, and will assuredly at some time do its work. Whenever Greece shall be in a con dition to make it worth while to join her, we may be sure that the general sentiments of all English men will be in f avour of the seven islands reunit i ng with their own people. As to our engagement with Europe, and the ne cessity of asking the great Powers whether they will release us from them, we hold that line of argument as exceedingly unimportant. There is not one of those. Powers which has kept to the treaties of 181;. They may be a certain kind of basis, or a starting point rather, for diplo matic discussions, but in the present condition of France and Savoy, Belgium, Russia, Poland, Cra cow, Italy, all Europe indeed, or nearly so, it is pedantry, not argument, to refer to any engage ments of 1815 as binding now. We may hold our selves quite at liberty; to consider what is best for ourselves first, for the inhabitants next, and for the peace of Europe as affecting all of us, and these considerations alone must decide what shall now be done. To us the value of Corfu as a naval station has been absurdly overrated. The recent instances of the whole French fleet get- ting up to Venice without our knowledge is but one illustration of its uselessness to us as the key of the Adriatic; and indeed if it were so, what par ticular business we have in that sea, what business worth the heav) cost of the government of the islands, we have never seen explained. As to the inhabitants themselves we must, to a great extent, allow them to judge fo'r themselves. If they prefer the wretched Government of OTHO, so that they will keep us in perpetual trouble till they get it, it is not for us to force on them the blessings of our rule against their wish. We must confess that after all that has been said we see no reason to alter the opinion we expressed before, that the people themselves should be left to decide the question. We have perhaps a right to ask that they shall come under an engagement never to sell themselves, or to let the demagogues sell them to any of the other great Powers. We might retain all the rights a solemn treaty could give us to intervene at once if they even attempted to join any country but Greece ; but, under these conditions, why should we not leave it to a fair ballot—such a ballot as not French commissioners, but an English gentleman would take, to decide whether the Islands preferred to remain with us or to unite with Greece. All things nearly are relatively different to what they were when we took the pro tectorate ; it is now acknowledged that the opinions of nationalities are to count for as much at least in territorial arrangements as the convenience of rulers ; and this too simple and obvious plan seems to be the only one which will effectually terminate all difficulties. The course of the Government of Prussia and the language held in her Chamber of Deputies, in re ference to the disgraceful affair of Captain MAC DONALD, can but fill the minds of Englishmen with supreme contempt for both Government and people. The officials of this country may, of course, in the spirit too common with such personages, overstep their duty, and they may do so towards a foreigner. But if ever done, let all foreigners understand that severe reprimand, and probably much more serious consequences, would follow a foreigner's complaint ; and, if anything, the severity of the punishment would be greater if the individual aggrieved were a foreigner. The helplessness of the man surrounded by people of another country would give him the same claims to special protection as is accorded to a female amongst men. Yet, though these miserable Prussian officials actually dragged a gentleman out of the carriage by his heels, he, too, not being the offender, not a single word of reprimand is uttered. Again, if we allow, as we must, that every per son arrested by competent authority is bound quietly to surrender—and this Captain MACDONALD did— we cannot allow that any Government, professing to be civilised, has a right not only to arrest him, but to refuse bail for so confessedly a trivial charge; not only to refuse bail, but to imprison him in a filthy cell with felons ; and not only to do that, but to keep him in this abominable confinement for a week and that when the British representative there wac ready to answer for his appearance—we say such laws ought themselves to be the subject of an apo logy. Prussia ought to be ashamed that her own subjects, and much more travellers in the country, can be subjected to treatment so utterly the reverse of what may be expected from any civilised coun try. We hear much of the praise of the Prussian system of education—all we say is, heaven save us from it, if it train petty officers to be such tyrants, and the people such slaves as this affair shows them to be. We were more surprised at the language, as re ported, used by VON VINCKE in the Prussian Chambers. He, as a liberal Prussian, ought to have accepted Lord PALMERSTON'S and Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S language instead of complaining of it. He ought to have used it to point out to the Go vernment the necessity of thoroughly altering Such a system of tyranny and slavery as those to which Prussian law trained the people; but instead of that we find him talking about the "necessity to England of the Prussian alliance." What extraordinary conceit can the Prussian notables have got into their heads ? We want the Prussian alliance ! an alliance with the mean traf ficers in the Russian war ;—an alliance with a country in which the heir to the Crown cannot maintain his wife, but must take £40,000 at once out of our pockets and £B,OOO a year besides—an 'alliance with a country ever ready to sell its friends for its own convenience, to bully the weak, and to skulk before the strong ! If there be one country on earth which the conduct of half a century, and that especially of the last ten years, ha 3 made contemptible in English opinion, that country is Prussia; and almost uni versal was the regret that the. QUEEN selected a husband for the PRINCESS ROYAL from such a land, and asked Parliament to waste English money on Royal necessities there. Probably the next case of insult to English travellers will be in Hesse Darnstadt, as the reward for £30,000 down and £6,000 per annum. The Germans seem to regard the money of England as tri bute, and to be emboldened to insolence, because we purchase husbands of them for our princesses at a price ten or twenty times greater than they would ever think of giving for husbands from Eng land for theirs. We beg to inform M. VON VINCKE that we have not the slighte3t need of Prussia, and that the people of this country only wish we had no matrimonial alliance there. Baron SCHLEINITZ talks of Prussia " Not sacri ficing her independence for the friendship of any Power." We do not ask her to sacrifice what she never yet had, at least in our life-time—but we do ask her to behave with common decency in the com munity of nations. We never yet knew a gentle man, who if another gentleman had to complain of the ill behaviour of the other's servants —thought it any sacrifice of independence to express his un feigned regret, to make reparation, if the case admitted, and to rebuke or dismiss the offending servant. Were Prussia really independent she would not talk about it thus. What should we think of Lord PALMERSTON'S mentioning-the " independence'•' of England in any such dispute ? Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary honoured Miss Coutts with their company yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Fechter had the honour to give " a reading." A limited party were in vited to meet their royal highnesses. The Marchioness of Downshire's " dance " is un avoidably postponed. The Earl of Brownlow has arrived in town for the season, after a lengthened tour on the Continent. Field-Marshal Viscount and Viscountess COM bermere are expected to arrive in, town, on, Saturday for the 60M913.• Lord and Lady Leigh have arrived at their resi dence in Portman-square, from St3neleigh Abbey, for the season. Lord and Lady Kenyon are expected in town in a few days, from Gredington Hall, for the season. Lady Howard de Walden is prolonging her stay, at Southsea. The Hon. Freeman H. Morse, the new United States Consul in London, arrived in town on Monday, and is now staying at the Castle and Falcon, Aldersgate•street, City. Vice-Admiral Sir John Gordon Sinclair and family have arrived at 66, Chester-square, for the season. Sir Lawrence and Lady Palk have arrived at 47, Rutland-gate, for the season. Lady Farnaby has arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood, from Wickham Court, near Bromley. INNS OF COURT EXAMINATION.—The Council of Legal Education, in order to facilitate the intended visit of the Inns of Court Rifle Corps to the corps of the Uni versity of Cambridge on Saturday, May 18, have made an alteration in the day fixed for hclding the examination of the students of the Inns of Court. The examination will be commenced on Wednesday, May 15, at half-past 9, and continued on the two following days at the same hour. A contract has been entered into between the United States Government and the agents of the Hamburg- American Steam Company to convey the United States mails between New York and Southampton. The vessels of this company consist of the Hammonia, Saxonia, Borus sia, Bavaria, and Teutonia, and they will henceforth sail every alternate Wednesday. The contract granted to them is in place of that hitherto fulfilled by the American ships Fulton and Arago, which are now understood to have been taken up by the Government for transport purposes, and a new illustration is thus afforded of the manner in which the war is causing a necessity for payments from America to Europe. The following letter from the Inland Revenue office, in answer to one addressed to the Right Hen. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will interest the public gene rally. " Inland Revenue, Somerset House, May s. —Sir The Board of Inland Revenue have had referred to them your letter of the 29th ult., addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and in reply to the inquiries therein sub mitted I am directed to inform you that an auctioneer's license will authorise a person to act as house agent, and that a person letting merely his own property will not be required to take out a license as a house agent. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. SARGENT.-Mr. Absalom Dell." DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—Last night a very alarm. ing fire broke out in the large range of premises belonging to Mr. John Mason, a modeller in plaster, carrying on busi ness at No. 25.8., Providence-row, Finsbury. The disaster occurred in the following somewhat singular manner. Mr. Mason was in the act of ascending a ladder in order to get some figures to pack up for a country order, he having at the time a lighted candle in his hand. Upon getting near the top of the ladder it suddenly broke, and Mr. Mason was precipitated to the floor, by which he was seriously hurt, and the candle he held in his hand came in contact with a crate of straw. Before he had time to get up, the straw blazed away most furiously, and the flames ran rapidly round that part of the premises. igniting not only the ground floor warehouse but the show-rooms over. Engines were soon in attendance, and the firemen were enabled to save intact one side or ving of the premises, but the damage done to the other portions of the property is serious, a large number of valuable models having been destroyed. Fortu nately Mr. Masoi was insured in the Sun Fire-office. A fire also broke out yesterday in the bookbinding establish ment belonging toMr. F. Watkins, 8 Paradise-row, Gravel lane, Southwark. It was caused by the overheating of ens of the steam pipes FEARFUL INC:DENT AT THE FAlB..—Tuesday last being the " pleasure fair" day in Bridgnorth, there was the usual assemblage A' " shows." Amongst these was a theatrical establielment, in front of which was erected a slack rope apparatus, consisting of two upright poles, with a rope suspended across. Between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening, one of the company was engaged going through a variety of evolutions on tlis rope, in presence of a large concourse of people. One portion of the performance con sisted in the man slipping from the cross rope to one suspended vertically from itscentre, and from this he swung with his head downwards and afterwards slipped his head into a noose and swung like a man hanging. This noose was intended to fit under the chin and at the back of the head, but by some means it slipped from its position and encircled tie neck of the performer. He was seen to struggle, but i: being considered part of the performance, the people applauded and the band con tinued to play, while the man was in his death agony. At length the performer's haids dropping to his sides, his features beginning to blaclen, with other unmistakeable evidences that he was sufleiing from strangulation. A fear ful scene of excitement eneued. Women ran about shriek ing and wringing their hands, and for some time all was confusion. At length a :adder was procured, and while several persons - held 3t in an upright position as nrmiy - ae they could from below, a man out of the crowd climbed up and cut the poor fellow down. Owing to the agitation that prevailed, and the imminence of the man's danger, proper means were not used to cetch him as he fell, and he dropped a distance of from 12 to 15 feet on to the platform, his head striking the edge of it with great force, He was at once conveyed to the nearest public house, and medical assistance instantly procured. He remained for a con siderable time in a state of insensibility, but at length sus pended animation was restored, and he is now in a fair way of recovery.—Birmingham Daily Post. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—THE KENTISH PLANTA TIONS.—The reports from our correspondents in most of the hop-growing districts of Kent represent the growth of the bine as nearly stationary during the past week. The cold nights and chilly days have checked progress, and the plantations are not generally more advanced than in the middle of April. It is now seen that there are a greater number of dead hills than were at first anticipated ; and the plants that have come up are platty, and what is called nettle-headed ; that is, they exhibit too much leaf, and are exceedingly uneven.—South Eastern Gazette. THREE SUSPECTED CHILD MURDERS:—Yester day morning Mr, John Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, received instructions of three newly-born chil dren being found exposed under the following circum stances :—The first was a male infant, which had been discovered by a labouring man lying on a vacant piece of ground in Birdcage-walk, Bethnal-green. The deceased,' which had been born alive, was fully developed, and was tied up in a piece of an old towel.—A second child, recently born, was found by police-constable9rB, G a , nd lyi t n h g e i h n eadwas shockingly King's square, Goswell-street, St. Luke's. The d ecease d was wraiedi bruised—the th in apisieedee—of brown beingpape fractured, and the arms also were severely bruised. Mr. Mather, the surgeon, was called, and examined the body, which was that of a full -grown male infant. The medical gentleman was of opinion that death had been wilfully caused.—A third male child was discovered in a pond in London-fields, Hackney, by a labourer, yesterday morning at an early hour. Mr. .Wright, the surgeon to the Hackney Workhouse, made an examination, and pronounced that the deceased had been born alive, and had died from pressure on the respi,• ratory organs. SOMETHING LIKE A FALL.—The Mussoorie cor respondent of the Hurkaru, writing under date of 18th ult., narrates the following extraordinary accident :—" I regret to have to chronicle a most 'sad accident which occurred here a day or two ago, or rather last Thursday night. A young gentleman, a great favourite with us all, of the name of Godfrey Thomas (son of Colonel Thomas, so well known for tea planting in the Dhoou), while riding down to Raj pore by the Mackinnon-road, went over a frightful preci pice 200 feet deep, in the dark. His horse was found ab solutely dashed to pieces, and though much injured him self about !the head and face, fortunately no bones were broken. I hear hopes are entertained of his recovery, though really to look at the place where the occurrence took place is enough to make one's blood run cold, and wonder how on euth any man could have escaped immediate death. This unfortunate accident will, I hope, prove a warning to people fond of hard riding in these hills. A better horse min than Godfrey Thomas never put foot in stirrup.— Hurharn. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—The Greenock Advertiser gives the following '—" Launches aro of suc h fre q uent occurrences now-a-days th a t mu ch of the pomp and c ircumstance, and, we may a dd, e xpense, has been pro perly done away with. Cannon no longer announce the event, the important ceremony of naming is sometimes dis pensed with, and when it does take place the gliding vessel is often christened, not with libations of ruby port, but a villanous compound of red and black ink, which, as it streams down the stem, has all the appearance of the more generous liquid. A few days ago, at ihe launch of a vessel in one of the local yards, the namer of the ship missed his aim, anti the bottle was left dangling to one of the shores, with which the lanyard got entangled. Two of the work men instantly seized it, acd retiring below the bottom of a craft on the stocks, knocked the neck off, and took a hearty swig of the contents, expecting a bonne Locate. Their con sternation, and the inward pangs which followed their po tations may be imagined but can never be described." THE CROPS IN THE EAST.—The weather in the week ending Sunday was cold and unseasonable on the eastern sido of the ollinfry, and up to Friday thorn was nn entire absence of the soft spring showers which ordinarily characterize the month of April, The strong planted wheats are progressing favourably in Norfolk ; indeed, they have probably profited by the drought, which has acted as a set-off to the unusual quantity of rain which saturated the earth for several months previously. On the stiff soils, however, the state of the land, till rain to some extent softened it on Friday and Saturday, checked vegetation, especially in the case of the late-sown baileys. In the fens and light chalky soils of Cambridgeshire the clops pre sent in many places but a meagre appearance, but on the stronger lands they are looking well. The supply of grass for sheep fending has been reduced to a low ebb by the ab sence of rain, and some fine warm weather, with occasional showers, is much needed. The deficiency has hitherto been made up with mangold and artificial food, but of course A a scrim cost as regards the latter. LArIET NEW S. MADRID, MAY 8. The Madrid journals state, that the Spanish sqadron has been assembled at Algesiras—not to compel the execution of the treaty by the Moors, but merely to protect the African possessions of Spain. NAPLES, MAY 4 (via Marseilles). The rumours which were current here of the proclamation of a republic at Palermo have proved entirely false. They originated in an attempt at a Garibaldian demonstration made in that city on the 29th ult. The members of the United Demo cratic Association succeeded, however, in tranquil lising the people. General Cariai has taken the command of the national guard at Palermo. The Archbishop of San Andrea and three large landed proprietors have been arrested. A letter, addressed by the Director of Public Worship to the Archbishop of Naples, has been published, in which he reproaches the archbishop with having forbidden public prayers for King Victor Emmanuel, and warns him that if he per sists in such a course he will be prosecuted accord ing to law. ROME, MAY 4 (via Marseilles). The Government has ordered Count Christen and two other Frenchmen to quit Rome on account of their having taken part in the insurrection in the Abruzzi. NAPLES, MAY 7. The Bourbon bands, commanded by Chiavone, have been completely beaten at the village of Lenola, near Fondi, by a battalion of the Italian army. The fugitives were pursued towards the Roman frontier. Some disturbances at Nola have been easily sup pressed. THORN, MAY 7. The news published by some German newspapers that the school of medicine at Warsaw had been closed is without foundation. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. In to-day's sitting of the Senate, M. Royer laid on the table the report of the committee upon seve ral petitions demanding that measures should be taken for preventing a renewal of the massacres in Syria. The committee proposed to reject the petitions by passing to the order of the day. The discussion will take place on Monday next. A terrible fire broke out yesterday at Limoges, which destroyed a whole quarter of the town. To day at noon the fire still continued. The Prefect has been seriously hurt by the fall of a beam.

S l'il TB OF BO ME. The following is an extract from a private letter, dated April 30 :—" The party in power are becom ing more violent and persecuting every day, encou raged in this by the numerous French and Neapoli tan visitors and emigrants. As regards the former, they represent exactly what Coblentz was in for mer days, Rome being now the centre of a well organised Legitimist conspiracy, the object of which is to upset, at any price or risk, the pre sent order of things in France. I am afraid Napo leon 111. does not attach as much importance to the doings of his disaffected subjects in Rome as they deserve, though fraught with danger to him and his dynasty. " There is little chance of the King of Naples leaving Rome, if not absolutely forced to do so ; in deed, E. o far is such from his intentions, that he has taken a palace at Alaano, 15 miles nearer the Nea politan frontier, where all his ex-court and the numerous hangers-on attached to his Majesty are about to repair, to plot and intrigue, and to foment insurrection, massacre, and pillage in the provinces bordering on the Roman territory. I am at a loss to imagine how Napoleon permits the protection of France being here again applied to such a discre ditable service. " In my last letter I mentioned what had taken place connected with Dr. Pantaleone's brutal ex pulsion, entirely the result of Pius IX.'a own unchristian and uncharitable vengeance ; but I was not prepared for the extension of that same vindictive feeling towards his wife, as you know a British subject, and her innocent children. Ma dame Pantaleone, having been obliged to remain for some time after her husband's departure, to wind up his affairs (she leaves to join him to-day), applied for her passport to the police, consider ing herself and her children Roman subjects. In reply, she received a written message from Mon signor Metteucci, stating that to obtain a pass port she must attend personally at the police office, an indignity seldom inflicted on a lady, and there sign a declaration that she would under no circumstances return to Rome without making a special written application and receiving per mission, this condition having been imposed on the Minister of Police, as he confessed, by a spe cial order he had received from Cardinal Auto nelli soon after Pantaleone's departure, and the object of this being evidently to bar Madame Pan taleone's return on a future day with an English passport, which, as a British subject, she is fully entitled to do. Having taken her place in the steamer she could not put off her departure, and was therefore obliged to accept the passport under the discreditable condition exacted, but under a formal protest on the part of herself and the friend who accompanied her to Monsignor Mat ' teucci's office. But this unworthy persecution did not end here. Some of' her Italian friends wished to accompany her to Civita Vecchia to afford her the protection necessary for a young and handsome woman and three young children, one an infant. Would you believe that the permission to do so was refused,—one to a very learned ecclesiastic, a Pied montese by birth, and another I , rho physician of her children, one of whom, being threatened with croup, required much attention ? In the first case, that of the padre, I was told that the police knew the object of his journey to the scaly:A ; in the second, Dr. L— was flatly refused, and told, after Madame Pantaleone had sailed, there would be no objection to his going at any time he chose. I have good reason for believing that all this petty vexa tion comes from the highest personage in the coun try, to whom the name of the hon. deputy for Mace rata is hateful in the extreme. g‘ I n the m e a n ti me cr i me i s on the increase. On Friday last Signor Angelini, a man well known to me, was stopped at 8 p.m. in the Via da Ca p o l e Cue, and a valuable watch and chain, 7411 ail Pao money he had upon him, taken as he was entering the door of his own house ; the conscientious assas- sin, however, gave him back his -rosary, which he had produced among his valuables. On Sunday I witnessed a scene quite characteristic of the system we live under. Two fellows had a dispute close to the Piazza di Spagna ; one drew his knife and plunged it into his adversary, and ran away pur sued by Gendarmes (Papal), when, darting into the church of St. Andre delle Frate, the Gendarmes were stopped in their pursuit, it being a crime to pursue a malefactor into a sacred edifice. The fel low got into the adjoining convent, and, of course, escaped, thanks to this precious right of asylum. " I went for a couple of days lately to Fiumicino, at the mouth of the Tiber, where the Pope has a large villa, which I found filled with 200 of the worst class of Neapolitan and Sicilian refugees, mostly police agents, including, I was told, the executioner at Palermo. To each man the Pope gives 15 bajocchi, to the wives and children 71, so that they are infinitely better off than the labouring and hardworking population of the neighbourhood. "Distress is on the increase, and I greatly fear there will be excessive misery during the summer, when there are no longer strangers to give em ployment, and when the great Roman families go out of town, and many of whom will leave Italy altogether for Paris. "We have nothing of any importance in respect to archaeological discovery. Excavations on the site of the villa of the Gordians, in the Via Labi cana, near the Torre dei Schiavi, have led to the discovery of a Roman pavement in mosaic ; a similar mosaic but of a better artistical period, has been dug out beyond the Porta Porteses, where the fine statue of Venus, now in Russia, was discovered two years ago. The excavations at Ostia are progress ing slowly, not more than 20 galley slaves being employed upon them; except a rude mosaic in a niche of a man and a dog, nothing of any interest. has turned up. " In speaking of the extension of crime•l have omitted to mention a curious instance of the inse curity of person and property in Rome. Three nights ago the Tuscan Minister, the Marchese Bar gagli, was awoke from his slumbers by a stout resolute robber, holding a poinard at his throat, and enforcing absolute silence, and the usual, "Deliver up, or you are a dead man," which he was obliged to do to the tune of 500 dollars, the thief retiring quietly. No one knew how he had effected his entry into the Palace of the Tuscan Legation (Palazzo di Tirenze). On the day after a certain fashionable Jesuit confessor called on Bargagli, bringing back all the money he had been robbed of save 25 pauls, which the fellow had spent before compunction of conscience led him to confession." MB. C OBD EN. A letter from Beaune of the 4th inst. says : " Mr. Cobden, returning from Algeria, has ar rived in Burgundy with the Count de Pine. He is occupying himself in collecting the necessary in formation for the elucidation of the important ques tion of a fixed import duty on French wines in Eng land. Mr. Cobden, during his residence with M. Serre, at Meursault, saw all the principal men of the country, and heard a statement of the legiti mate complaints and claims of the proprietors and dealers. He is quite convinced of the justice of our demands, and appears disposed to support them." The Algiers journals publish the following letter I from Mr. Cobden, written before leaving Algeria to one of the principal landowners in the colony " Algiers, April 22. " Dear Sir—l deeply regret not having had the opportunity of seeing you again before my depar ture, which is fixed for to-morrow, weather permit ting. I shall be able to speak highly of Algeria without doing violence to my conscience. God has endowed this country with everything necessary for its prosperity. Its climate, soil, and geographi cal position—everything, in fact, justifies the hope that th se coasts of Africa will hereafter become no less rich and populous than they were in ancient times, as proved by the majestic ruins I have visited. Only, in order to triumph over material obstacles, as in the struggles after truth in the religious and moral world, unfortunately there must be martyrs, among whom you will allow me to count yourself.

Be assured that I shall never miss any opportunity of express ing my opinions as to the advantages and require ments of your colony. Among its wants is the assurance that we shall have no war with France. I have heard Englishmen here, when discussing the question of investing capital in Algeria, reason thus --‘ Should there be war between England and France, the English fleet would perhaps intercept communications, and perhaps the native tribes would revolt,' &c. But these chimerical apprehen sions will by degrees disappear, and I labour to that end. I trust that you will this year witness a change in the regulations of the ports, which will give greater-liberty to commerce. Free entrance for capital and facilities for purchasing and occupy ing land—such is the programme for a colony. I shall live in hopes of seeing you again.

Lytton's admirable play of "Money" is an especial favourite with the playgoers of the metropolis, and on its representation last evening at this theatre it attracted a very 1 trge and fashionable audience. This circumstance, no doubt, was owing to the fact that the cast of characters in all the most important parts was entirely new, and from the success that attended the performance, Mr. Harris may fairly congratulate himself, as it has proved this time most decidedly, that he has a double company in hia theatre. The knowledge that such is the case will most assuredly afford him considerable relief, and, at the same time, enable Mr. Fechter to take that rest which he so much requires. The part of Alfred Evelyn was confided to Mr. Hermann Vezin, a gentleman who made his first bow this season in the role of Laertes, and who on that occasion created a very deep impression en the audience. His de lineation of Evelyn has further added to his fame, as it has proved that he is equ . aVy at home in the portrayal of highly polished and educated English gent'emen, as he is in the chivalric Laertes, which is by no means a common oc currence. Many actors may shine in one particular " line," as it is professionally termed ; but the English stage is by no means prolific in the number of those who possess the double qualification. Inthe opening scenes of the play Mr. Vezin gave the biting sarcasms of the author in a most telling manner, his avowal of love to Clara Douglas was one of those admirable bits of pathetic acting now very rarely met with. The alteration from the poor dependent scholar to the man of immense wealth was also finely portrayed, and at the termination of the fourth act he so carried his audi ene3 with him, that at the fall of the curtain he received an enthusiastic "call." Without going at greater length into the merits of the performance, we may honestly say it was a thoroughly artistic and natural embodiment of the idea of the brilliant author of the play. Mr. Ryder's Graves was also a performance that calls for very high praise, espe cially as it has shown him in a comparatively new line of business. We, like most people, imagined that Mr. Ryder was so identified with tragedy that comedy was entirely out of his elems nt ; but it is no more than truth to say that his admirable version of the part convulsed the house with laughter. The Sir John Vesey of Mr. Frank Mathews was a very careful and successful study, and Mr. Shore as Sir Frederic Blunt, the fashionable fop, was highly effective. We cannot say we were at all pleased with the Benjamin Stout of Mr. Wid dicombe. It was funny, of that there cannot be a doubt; but then it was not the hard calculating political economist intended by the author. Moreover, it was here and there interlarded with vulgar "gag," which detracted materially from the performance. We are simple enough to believe that Mr. Widdicombe cannot improve upon Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton; when Mr. Widdicombe will slight his author, he must be prepared to take the consequences. We cannot do better th an remind him of the words of the great master of his art, the in-molt-a Shakespere, who says —" L e t those who p la y your clowns speak no more than is on some barren spectator s t o l aug h ter too; thoug h • in to be considered ateautime some necessary question of s s tdeosw laugh, au for them; toset f o r there be of them th a t w ill them selves t h e play be th en : that's vill a i nous; an d s h ow s a most p itiful a mbition." Mr. Widdicombe is a ver y good actor, and if ho would but depend more on his author, ho would be a great deal better. Amongst the smaller parts, by far the best done was that of M‘Finch, by Mr. R. Cathcart. Miss Heath's Clara Douglas was a very chaste and exquisite performance, marked by all those sweet womanly feelings she can so admirably depict. Miss Leclercq's Lady Franklin was a very sprightly and ro. freshing performance. At the fall of the curtain the whole of the principal performers were called to receive the loud applause they had so richly earned. The play was put upon the stage with all that correct ness of detail that so marks' the management a air. A. Harris.

MANCHESTER, May 7.—Yesterday and to-day the market both for yarns and for piece -goods has shown greater quietness than can be recollected in either department for a very long time back. In yarns buyers are holding aloof, mainly from the high prices asked by spinners, whose quotations are still rising since the end of last week, cotton being again dearer. To-day, as on Friday, pur chasers are quite indisposed to operate at the cur rent rates. In the cloth market there is next to no business at all. Buyers will do nothing at present prices with the unfavourable accounts they receive from abroad; while, on .the other hand, manufac turers seem almost equally unwilling to press their productions for sale. The advices received yester day by mail report heavy losses both at Calcutta and Bombay, and no doubt these will have a tendency to make buyers more cautious than ever. The dearness of discounts has also to be taken into consideration. The tone of the market to-day is further affected by reports of new failures. The following is the weekly report of Messrs. J. Slagg and Co. :—" Since Tuesday last the market has been exceedingly flat for all descriptions of goods, and prices, notwithstanding the advance in cotton, bean in many cases weaker. To-day buyers seem more determined than before to hold aloof as much as possible, and the business done has been alto gether inconsiderable in amount, and at prices slightly against sellers. LEEDS, 7th.—There has been but a small attend ance of buyers in the cloth• halls this morning, and there was little disposition to purchase. Prices were a little easier for several of the lighter fabrics, manufacturers being willing to make some conces sion to meet the offers of purchasers ; but, after all, the amount of business done in the public markets was small. Wools remain steady in price, but little is doing by the local brokers, as the attention of the trade is directed to the series of colonial sales, which commence in the metropolis on Thursday in the present week. Messrs. Nicholson and Stone, of Cannon-street, London, a firm who did a large business in the mantle trade, has suspended pay ment, and several Leeds houses are affected. A meeting of the Leeds creditors was held this afternoon at the rooms of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, but was adjourned until m ire complete information is received from the accountants now investigating the affairs of the firm. The liabilities are supposed to be large. As connected with the trade of Leeds, it may be mentioned that this town has long been deficient, considering the extent of its popu lation and the magnitude of the business done in it, in necessary accommodation for the buying and selling of corn, but at last its municipal authorities have resolved to repair the deficiency. A suitable building, designed by Mr. C. Broderick, the archi tect of the Leeds Town-hall, is about to be erected. Ile site chosen is near Call-lane, within a very short distance of the river Aire, and in a central part of the town, close to the White Cloth-hall. The structure will doubtless be an ornament to the town, and will also afford ample convenience for the farmers, corn-factors, and others who will re sort thereto for business purposes. The design is somewhat after the style of the Coliseum at Rome. The erection of this new Corn Exchange has been let to Mr. S. Addy, of Leeds, for £12,033. The foundation-stone was laid to-day with becoming ceremony, by Mr. Alderman Gill, chairman of the Markets Committee of the Town Council, in the presence of several members of the Council, as well as cornfactors, farmers, and others interested in the project. ROCIIADLE, GTII.—The financial trade has been dull to•day. The character of the American ad vices is such as to cause a suspension of nearly all business with that quarter of the world, but a fair business is doing for the Canadas. Exporters, how ever, generally continue to exercise great caution, and hence the slackness in the trade. For the sea son there is a moderate amount of business doing in the home trade, and machinery is kept in fair em ploy, and the operatives are in something like full work. Stocks are pronounced to be in a reasonable compass, and prices keep steady. Wools continue without change. The demand is tolerably steady, aid staplers keep up last month's quotations, THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADE. The system of hour payment at increased rates, which was forced on the masters in reply to the strike for the nine hours' movement, appears to be rapidly extending. Messrs. Trellope have adopted it with their workmen, and have found the system work so well that they are about to extend it to all the men in their employ. Two other contrac tors, Messrs. Clements and Messrs. Gammon, also now pay the men by the hour, and before the end of the weak it is expected that some important ncialtlons will be made to the list. The statement put forth by a contemporary, that the four great firms which were first compelled to adopt this course, Messrs. Kelk, Lucas, Peto, and Smith are almost without workmen, is quite devoid of foundation. Not only are all the works of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas in tull activity, but in the case of the latter firm they have more applicants for employment than they can find work for. All the works of Messrs. Peto and Messrs. Smith are likewise in full employ. In the face of these facts, and in the increasing satisfac tion of the men now that they can see the merits of the new system in fair work, it is thought im• probable that there will be any general strike. Each day diminishes the chances of such a disaster to the workmen, and it is earnestly to be hoped that their own good sense and independence of the illegitimate influence of the trades unions will be soon shown by their frank acceptance of the concessions of the master builders. The great cheval do bataille of the trades' unions is a reitera tion of their statement that, as the men are only employed by the hour, the works will be stopped for an hour for any cause of trivial delay, and the pay consequently diminished to that amount. But it cannot be too much impre,sed upon the men that in thus taking advantage of the term " hour pay ment" the agitators are only making stock out of a verbal quibble, and deceiving them to their own de struction. Take, for instance, the two firms, Messrs. Kelk and Lucas. Either of these would guarantee full work to good men for two years. They still make their engagements by the week, but, as the trades' unions and some of the men have said that it is imperative that they should only work nine hours, the hour payment is simply adopted that the men may work eight, nine, or eleven hours, as suits their own convenience or necessities. Under this system the men get a half-holiday from one o'clock on Saturdays without any reduction of wages, —a concession which is granted to no other class of operatives or tradesmen in the United Kingdom. In a recent notice on this dispute we inadvertently con veyed the impression that the wholo body of plumbers and painters were going out on strike. We hasten to correct this. Only the plumbers and painters employed at the firms which pay by the hour have struck against the system, by which they get an increase of Bd. a week in their wages. As, how ever, all the chief builders are likely to adopt this plan in a few days, these trades, if they persist in their shortsighted opposition, are likely to be all out of work, and permanently so. We have been requested by some of the master builders against whom the strike was first made to state that the paragraph which appeared in a contemporary on Monday last, announcing that the masters were about to yield and compromise matters with the trades' unions, is entirely untrue from first to last. —Times, THIS DAY'S MARKETS.
