Good Words. Edited by Norman Macleod, D.D. Groombridge, London. This excellent and well-conducted serial main tains its character and interest. It has the unusual advantages of a religious magazine without profes sion or dogmatism, whose religion is of that simple, earnest, practical kind which alone can guide and assist the men and women struggling in the work a-day world. The stories and miscellaneous articles are full of interest and attraction, the names of such writers as Principal Tullech, P. H. Gosse, Dr. Guthrie, the Editor, and Miss Muloch being sum cient warrant. The illustrations are numerous, and we heartily commend it to all who appreciate plea sant and profitable reading. The Boy's Own Library. Wild Sports of the World. No. 111. We have here a little periodical containing much interesting information of the habits of the lion, gopilla, and other animals. Many curious incidents of the chase are related, and the general adventures are .such as are most likely to interest the juvenile readers, for whose perusal they are intended. The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine. Beeton and Co. 'this magazine, which is a perfect marvel for cheapness and utility in all those branches of feminine industry which the sewing machine can not supersede, continues in itsusual style. Theflite rary contents are worth reading, while the fashions and patterns for bonnets, eaps, sleeves, and endlesss pieces of fancy work will present irresistible at tractions to all tasteful needlewomen. The Boy's Own Nagazine. Is a pleasant little serial, admirably adopted to the tastes of those it is intended for. In the list of contents we find " The Wrecic of the Pirate," " How to MoCel a Cutter," " Gotta Percha," and " Cricket." What boy could resist such attractions when accompanied with numerous woodcuts, and offered for twopence. ! FRANCE AND ',ALE The following is the despatch of Baron Ricasoli to Count Gropello, Charge d'Affaires of Italy at Paris, in reply to M. Thouvenel Turin, June 21. Count,—The French charge d'affaires has com municated to me the despatch, a copy of which I subjoin. In this despatch his Excellency the Im perial Minister of Foreign Affairs states that his Imperial Majesty is ready to give us a new pledge of his friendly sentiments, by recognising the king dom of Italy. He adds also, that this act has espe cially for its object to prevent erroneous conjectures, and that it does not imply the retrospective appro bation of a policy on the subject of which his im perial Majesty's Government has always reserved full liberty of appreciation. Still less should we be authorised, according to this despatch, to see in the recognition by France an encouragement of enter prises calculated to compromise the general peace. Recalling the declarations of the French govern ment at the time of the interview at Warsaw, M. Thouvenel repeats that he continues to regard the principle of non-intervention as a rule of conduct for all the powers ; but he declares that the cabinet of the Tuileries declines beforehand all responsibi lity in projects of aggression the perils of which we must ourselves assume, and to the conse quences of which we must submit. Passing on to explain the position of France towards the Court of Rome, M. Thouvenel reminds us that powerful considerations compel the Imperial Government to occupy Rome so long as the religious interests, the protection of which the Emperor has so justly at heart, are not defended by sufficient guarantees ; and he expresses confidence that the Government of the King will know how to appreciate the character and the object of these frank explanations. Before making known to you my view of the con siderations developed in M. Thouvenel's despatch, I roust beg you, Cunt, to express to the Minister of Foreign Affairs my lively and profound gratitude for the precious mark of sympathy which the Em peror is disposed to give our national cause by re cognising the kingdom of Italy. This act is invested, 'tinder existing circumstances, with an importance altogether peculiar, and the Italians will be pro foundly moved by seeing that his Imperial Majesty, although he has not modified his opinion upon the events which took place last year in the Peninsula, is disposed to give to Italy, still saddened by a great national affliction, so striking a proof of his high and generous friendship. In begging you to express these sentiments to the Imperial Government, I only follow the example of the great citizen whose death we deplore. I appreciate, like him, at its value, the frankness with which the Imperial Government has made known to us its view of the events which happen in Italy. I know not how better to respond to this mark of confidence than by expressing all my thoughts with equal frankness and without any reticence. Entrusted by the confidence of the King with replacing Count Cavour in the presidency of the Council, and in the direction of the external policy, have found my programme already traced out in the recent votes which the two Chambers of Parlia ment have given upon the most important questions concerning the future of Italy. After long and memorable debates, Parliament, while affirming in a solemn manner th e r i g ht o f t h e nat i on to const i tute itself in its complete unity, has expressed the hope that the progress which the cause of Italy makes every day in the public conscience will bring about by degrees, and without collision, the solution so ardently longed for by the Italians. This confidence in the justice of our cause, in the wisdom of the European Governments, as well as in the support, every day more powerful, of public opinion —which Count Cavour expressed with so much eloquence shortly before his death— has passed undiminished into the administration over which I have the honour to preside. The King and his ministers are, however, con vinced that it is in organising the forces of the country, and in giving Europe the example of a Wise and regu l ar progress, t h at we s h a ll succeed in Protecting our rights, without exposing Italy to barren agitations, and Europe to dangerous com plications. You can, then, Count, completely reassure the Imperial government as to our intentions on the subject of our external policy. Nevertheless, the declarations of M. Thouvenel relative to the Roman question compel me to add some words on this head. You know, Count, in what manner this question is regarded by the King's government. Our wish is to restore to Italy her glorious capital, but our intention is to take away nothing from the greatness of the church or from the independence of the august chief of the catholic religion. We, con sequently, are glad to hope that the Emperor will be able in good time to recall his troops without that measure exciting amongst sincere catholics ap- Prehensions which we should be the first to regret. The interests even of France—we are convinced of it —will decide the French government to take this de termination. While leaving it to the high wis dom of the Emperor to determine the moment at Which Rome may without danger be left to herself, We shall always feel it our duty to facilitate this solution ; and we hope that the French govern ment will not refuse us its good offices in bringing the court of Rome to accept an agreement which would be fertile in happy consequences for the futu re of religion as well as for the fate of Italy. Please to read thi s d espatch to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and to leave with him a copy. (Signed) RICASOLI. According to.advices received from Kurracheo of the 23d May last, the Scinde Railway was formally opened on the 11th o f that month, by her Majesty's Commissioner to Scinde ; and on the morning of the 13th the first public train for passengers and goods ran frcm each terminus of the line —the crowd of passengers at the Kurrachee termi nus being enormous; since then great numbers of passen gers were being conveyed daily. TUE CROPS IN LINCOLNSIIIRE.—In the neigh bourhood of Lincoln the grasses are looking well and the er cTs are likely to be heavy.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Daring the week there has been little change to record in the progress of business in the manufac turing districts. At Alanchestar prices of both yarns and piece goods have slightly given way, owing to the unfavourable accounts from the Indian markets. The woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown no material variation, although the fineness of the weather has caused a better inquiry for light goods suitable to the home markets. At Birmingham and most of the other hardware districts the operations entered into have been only to supply immediate home demands. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday there was an increased demand, and £15,000 bales were sold, 8,000 of which were for export, and on speculation ; prices still'exhibited an upward ten dency. There was a further sum of £12,000 in gold, chiefly foreign coin, taken into the Bank on Satur day. The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils at Lisbon with £31,895 en route for this country. A large business is still transacted in the gene ral discount market, and the inquiry is expected to continue active during the week in consequence of the payments due on Thursday next, the 4th inst., and the probable introduction of the India Loan. The banks and discount houses have, therefore, been induced to ask slightly higher terms for the negotiation of commel ciai securities, and as very little accommodation is obtainable under 6 per cent. an increased supply of bills is taken to the Bank of England. . . There has been a quiet market for public securities to-day, and the fluctuation has been restricted to -1 per cent. During the earlier hours of business a slight improvement took place, but quotations have since returned to their previous position. Consols have been 891 for money, and 891 for account ; but they are now 891 e, and 891 respectively. Tho NCW Three per Cents, were steady at 881 t, and the Reduced Annuities realised 881 I. Bank Stock brought 230 ; the 6 per Cent. India Loan 987 a ; and India Bonds, 18s. dis. ; Exchequer Bills were heavy, the March issue being dealt in at 12s. dis., and the June ditto at 3s. to Os. dis. In the Foreign Market the dealings have not been extensive; prices, however, have tended up wards. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. advanced to 721, and the Loan of 1858 to 57 and 57-2, Mexi can Stock was steady at 22 ; Spanish declined to 49 ; and Dutch 22 per Cents. brought 631 ex div. Peruvian Uribarren Bonds realised 811 ex div. The dealings in the Railway Share Market to-day were of the most limited character, and little change of importance took place in prices. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and South Western declined 55., and Great Western 10s. ; South Easterns, however, improved ss. ; North Eastern (Berwick), and one or two others, realised previous prices. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the opera tions were of an unimportant character, Great Luxemburg brought 7/ ; Namur and Liege 81 ; East Indian improved to 98i, and Great Indian Peninsula to 951 96. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued dull, without any change of importance in values. Union of Australia declined 55., and Peel River Land improved ss.

By the papers brought by the Australian we learn that a crisis had at last arrived in Missouri. Former advises stated that Governor Jackson, hav ing issued a proclamation in favour of Secession, and joined a body of State troops, General Lyon had gone in pursuit. A telegram, dated St. Louis, June 18, gives the result : " The Democrat has a special despatch from Jef ferson city, which says that citizens of this place who have just arrived in a skiff from six miles below Booneville, bring news that Gen. Lyon attacked and completely routed the State forces at Booneville, kil ling 300 and taking 600 prisoners. Gen, Price was mortally wounded. The national loss was only 17. Full confidence is not placed in the news. Colonel Boernstein is continually sending scouting parties into the country surrounding Jefferson city. One company has just arrived, bringing a large number of kegs of powder, taken from one of Governor Jackson's secret depots in the interior. The Seces sionists of Boone, Holloway, and Howard counties are fleeing, and the Union Home Guards are be ginning to organise in these counties. A desperate effort was made by the convicts to escape from the Penitentiary to-day, which was prevented by four companies of troops. Six convicts were shot and several wounded. The New York Tribune says the President's message to Congress, to meet July 4, was approach ing completion. It will take strong ground in favour of the most energetic measures, in order that the war may be concluded by the next winter. Half a million of men, and 200 millions of dollars, are spoken of as likely to be raised. PORTSMOUTH. DOCKYARD.—The experiment of fi recorded o a t .

This delay fact that the float is moored some distance up the h g arb o our e and has to be manned by the crew of the Asia, and a steam: tug has to be got in readiness before she can be moved. Such delays in case of a real fire would be most disastrous. A question naturally arises, would it not be far better to have these floats, or at least the large one, moored at a short distance from the Asia, so that, if required, she would soon be manned, unmoored, and ready, if need be, to be taken in tow of the steam-tug P The experiment, however, was a good one, and again and again repeated, which will soon prove that the men and engines can be always available. THE LATEST ABOUT THE GREAT EASTERN. — The last cheer from British voices which greeted the Great Eastern and her gallant soldiers ere th e mountains of Old England faded from their sight, was given by a body of Manchester volunteers who met them on their way to Liverpool from Ireland. The volunteers were the let Irish, or ninth company of the 2 d Mancheste r Regi ment. There were fifty men, under the command of Cap tain Porteus, and they were also accompanied by Captain Weston, Captain Beattie, and Ensign Miller. They had been spending a day or two at Warrenpoint and Armagh where the annual sports had been going on. They left Warrenp o i n t on Wednesday, for Dundalk, and sailed from the latter pl ace th e same day at midnight, by the steamer Enterprise, he E n t er rise met the Great Eas tern about five miles from Liverpool on Thursday, and on g etti ng p close to her the volunteers were formed on one of the paddle-boxes, and a salute given. The steamer then turned round, and sailed side by side with the big ship. Having given th e salute, the volunteers fired three roun d s of blank cart r id ge, their gigantic consort returning fire with four rounds from her cannon, SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY).

The trade generally, however, w:.s in a sluggish state, but without leading to any material change in prices. Spring corn was in limited request, at barely late rates. Flour moved off heavily, at fully the late decline. On the continent both wheat and flour have changed hands to a limited extent for export. Advices from New York bring further reduced currencies for breadstuffs. The arrivals of English produce to our market last week were limited. The imports, however, were tolerably large, viz.: 24,436 qrs of wheat, 10,047 barley, 28,426 oats, 4,895 beans, 4,431 peas, 3,250 tares, 11,624 linseed, 4,854 rape seed, 2,903 maize, 325 sundry seeds, 11,440 sacks and 20,723 barrels of flour. Frssh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were much restricted, and the general condition of the samples was very middling. Notwithstanding the fineness of the weather, the trade for both red and white qualities—although far from active—exhibited a slight improvement, and the tranAactions, for the most part, were at prices equal to those realised on this day se'anight. The show of foreign wheat was less extensive. Generally speaking, the business doing was oonfined to actual re quirements ; nevertheless, the quotations were fairly sup ported. For floating cargoes of grain there was a moderate de mand, at previous currencies. The demand for barley was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no quotable change took place compared with last week. Fine malt was scarce, and realised previous rates. Other kinds, however, ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions of oats, at about the rates current on Monday last. For beans we have to report a heavy demand on former terms. The supply was mostly confined to foreign qualitiee. Peas were a slow sale, and the quotations were rather drooping. The flour trade was dull. Country marks and American barrels changed hands at further reduced rates—say 6d, in some ls, per sack and barrel. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The trade ruled heavy at about last week's currency. We were well supplied with English and Scotch beasts, but most breeds came to hand in but middling condition compared with several previous weeks. The beef trade was in a sluggish state. Prime Scots, &c., supported last Monday's currency ; but other breeds were the turn in favour of the butchers, whose attendance was somewhat numerous. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,200 Scots, &c. ; from Lincolnshire, &c., 600 short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds ; from Scotland, 500 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen, &c. _ _ _ The show of sheep was tolerably good, both as to number and quality. Prime Downs andj half-breds commanded a steady sale at full quotations. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at barely late rates. The best old Downs sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. _ Prime lambs changed hands freely at extreme quota tions ; but inferior breeds were a dull inquiry. Prices ranged from 5s 6d to 6s 4d, per Blbs. We have to report a slow sale for calves—the supply of which was good, at about stationary prices. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, on former terms.

The plantation accounts are still very unfavourable, and the estimate of the duty is from £60,000 t o £ 70,000. All kinds of hops. however, are in limited request, nevertheless prices are fully maintained. Last we ek's imports were 41 bales from Hambro, 13 from Ostend, and 50 bales from New York.

The arrivals of new home-grown potatoes increase but slowly, but large imports of foreign qualities have taken place since our last. These amount to 6,871 baskets from Rotterdam ; 1,113 baskets and 786 barrels from Dunkirk; 100 casks and 100 bags from Antwerp, 825 boxes from Lis bon, 98 baskets from Boulogne, and 16 tons from Guernsey. The general state of the trade is by no means active; nevertheless prices range from 8a to 17s per cwt. WOOL. Since our last report, no improvement has been observed in the demand for any kind of English wool. Prices, how ever, have ruled about stationary. In cclonial and foreign parcels a limited business has been done, at previous cur rencies. At the next public sales, about 90,000 bales will probably be offered. Last week's imports were 1,134 bales from Portland Bay, 1,085 Launceston, 1,147 New Zealand, 275 Port Natal, and 165 bales from the Cape of Good Hope. SEEDS. Seeds still attract but a limited amount of attention. In their value, however, compared with last week, there is Do A BRILLIANT COMET. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. SIR,—At half-past ten o'clock last night, as the clouds cleared off, I was astonished at the appear ance of a comet of enormous proportions in the North, Its nucleus is considerably larger than a star of the first magnitude, with a tail more spread than that of Donati's which appeared in 1858, and as long as that at its maximum, although not quite so brilliant. It was situated in the constellation of Auriga, about 10 degrees above the horizon—an altitude which it maintained during the time of my obser vation, viz., 12 o'clock. The rapidity with which the comet appears to be pursuing its course may account for its not having been previously noticed by astronomers. Should the sky this eveniig be clear, it cannot fail to excite much interest —I remain, sir, your obedient servant, C. NORRIS. 14, Steward-street, Spitalfields, London, July 1, 1861. Stock this day.

SlR,—The comet, of which I see some accounts in the Times of this morning, appeared to me equal in size to the planet Jupiter, with a tail very biil liant, for at least 20 degrees, traceable for as many more, nearly up to the Pole star. On account of the great breadth of the tail near the nucleus, and unusually large dark space in the middle, it had the appearance of being double, and the western part seemed to end abruptly at about 10 degrees from the body of the comet. By watching its position among the stars for near four hours, I thought I could detect, even without the aid of instruments, a southern motion ; and the slight easterly bend of the tail would also indicate an advance in right ascension. From the small curve of the tail I should infer that its real motion is comparatively slow at present, and that its apparent great speed is caused by its proximity to the earth. If the tail of the present comet is fainter, it is much broader towards the nucleus, and even longer than that of Donati's comet. In the apparent mag nitude and brilliancy of its nucleus it is much superior to the latter ; and, considering the com paratively unfavourable circumstances under which it is seen, in the light of the moon and in the northern twilight of summer, it must be thought a much more striking object than the great comet of 1858.-4 remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN BIRMINGHAM. Cecil-street, Strand, Ist July. LORD CAMPBELL'S FUNERAL. According to his well known and frequently ex plained wishes the remains of the departed Lord Chancellor, on Saturday, the 29th of June, were consigned to the resting place which he had chosen in Jedburgh Abbey. Although the funeral was private in its nature, and, in conformity with Scot tish usage, avoided the pomp of woe, the respect and sympathy prevailing for the late Lord Campbell in Jedburgh, close to which he lived, elicited ample demonstration. At their desire, the Provost, Bail lies, and Town Councillors came up to Hartrigge, Lord Campbell's seat, and headed the procession, which left at 12 o'clock. Behind them was the hearse, followed by the three sons and a nephew of Lord Campbell, walking as chief mourners. After a carriage, in which two of his daughters were pre sent, Lord Minto, Mr. Rutherfurd, the Sheriff of the County; Mr. H. Scott, of Ancrum, Major Richardson, of Kirklands ; Mr. Craigie, Sheriff- Substitute ; the Rev Mr. Ritchie, of the Established Kirk; the Rev. Mr. Purves, of the Free Kirk; and the Rev. Mr. Turnock, of the Epriscopalian Chapel, walked together. Next to these were his lordship's tenants and his domestic servants, the line ending with the carriage of Lord Minto. As soon as the Provost and Corporation reached the gates of Hartrigge the lead was taken by the Jedburgh Volunteers in mourning, under Lieut. Dodd, the corps having expressed an anxious wish to be allowed to guard and to conduct the procession to the Abbey. Preserving admirable order, when the latter point was reached they formed to the right and left, and with every mark of reverence allowed the coffin, here lowered from the hearse, to pass between them. The English service was performed by the Rev. W. Sprenger White, the son-in-law of the late Lord Chancellor. Heavy rain fell the moment it com menced, and when the sad conclusion was arrived at distant thunder resounded through the Abbey. The shops were closed from 12 to 2 o'clock, and everything indicated that in the secluded town near which he had of late years made his home, his lordship had created an attachment and regard as strong as that which he enjoyed among those who had longer been acquainted with him. SPORTING NOTES. There are three meetings to be decided this week, viz., Newmarket, Carlisle, and Worcester. For the July Stakes at Newmarket there will be a large field. The winner may spring from the dark division, but it will take a flyer to beat ELECTOR. The Stamford Plate should be carried off by Maggiore, and the Chesterfield Stakes by Duke Rollo. In the Cumberland Plate Joey Jones, Underhand, and Doefoot will likely fight their Newcastle,battle over again; but I prefer the chance of PROLOGUE to either of them, who twice last year defeated Underhand at weight for age. For the Worcestershire Handicap I shall again trust Fairwater. July 1. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT CARLISLE.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This EVENING.) The LORD CILtNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. CHURCH RATES. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH having presented a bill said, as he saw a bill had been brought in in the other house to amend the law of church rates, he begged to with draw his bill from the consideration of their lordships. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against the unconditional abolition of church rates. The whole of the petitioners prayed for au amicable settlement of the ques tion. The right rev. prelate said he was authorised to say on the part of his rev. brethren that they would hail with pleasure any measure that would settle the que-ttion amica bly to all parties, and they believed that the report of th e select committee which has sat upon the subject afforded the means of doing so. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The West Midland and Severn Valley Railway Bill was read a second time. The Ludlow and Cleo Hill Railway, Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway, Inverness and Perth Junction Rail. way, Parsonstown and Portumna fridge Railway, North- Eastern Railway (Extension to Otley), New Ross Port and Harbour, and West Cheshire Railway Bills wero read a third time and passed. GLEBE HOUSES. Viscount DUNGANNON said that on Thursday he should ask whether there was any intention during the present session to bring in a bill to provide for the repair ing of glebe houses. CORK INFIRMARY BILL. This bill passed through committee. THE ANNEXATION OF ST. DOMINGO. Lord BROUGHAM said a memorial agreed to in a very large meeting in the island of Jamaica, and signed by 3,700 persons, having been transmitted to the Colonial Secretary praying him to refuse his assent to the annexation of St. Domingo, he had to move that a copy of the said memorial be laid on the table of their lordships' house. The effect of the annexation, if carried out, would lead to a great increase in the production on slave-grown sugar, and give a fresh impetus to the slave trade. Such being the case he trusted that the memorial would meet with the utmost consideration from the colonial authorities. It had been said that there was no intention on the part of the Spanish Government to permit slavery to be carried es at St. Domingo, but the statement was not of that definite character that inspired him with confidence. The Duke of NEWCASTLE thought the manner in which this subject had been treated would tend rather to increase the feeling on this subject than allaying. it. The Spanish Government had declared in the strongest manner that they would ,not allow the renewal of slavery in St. Domingo in any form. They had further stated such a proceeding would be at variance with all treaties on the subject, and against the interests of civilisation. He had not the slightest objection to the production of the memorial referred to. Lord BROUGHAM said the declaration of the Spanish Government that the permit slavery in St. Domingo would be against the language of treaties, and the interests of hu manity sounded well, but he thought it was no more at variance for the Spanish Government to do so than it was for them to carry on the slave trade at all after having entered into a treaty for its entire abolition. The only part of the treaty they had fairly carried out was to receive the money. The motion was then agreed to. The Holyhead Road Bill was read a third time. The Portpatrick Harbour (Scotland) Bill passed through committee. THE EAST INDIA COUNCIL BILL. This bill was read a first time. The lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Dublin and Antrim Junc tion Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills, as amended, were con s id ere d a nd ordered for third reading :—Cheshire Midland Railway ; London and North Western Railway (Chester and Holy head Railway) ; Penarth Harbour, Dock, and Railway ; Thames Haven Dock (Abandonment) ; and Westminster Improvements. The Alva Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Fife and Kinross Railway; Glasgow (City) Life Assurance, &c. ; Great North of Scotland Railway ; Metropolitan Railway (Extension to Finsbury Circus) ; Rhymney Railway (Additional Capital, &c.) ; Staffordshire Potteries Water; Wigan Gas Meter and Fitting Company; Wolverhampton New Water. On the motion of Mr. BUTT, the following were agreed to :—ln the event of the third reading of the Midland Counties and Shannon Junction Railway •Bill being op • posed, to move, that standing order 172 be suspended, and that the bill be now read the third time. PETITIONS. Some petitions were presented praying for the opening of the British Museum and other national institutions on Sunday, and for the restoration of the Galway subsidy. FACTION FIGHTING IN IRELAND. Mr. SC ULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if his attention had been called to the published address of the chairman of the county of Tipperary, Mr. Sergeant Howley, Q.C., to the grand jury at the recent quarter ses sions of Cashel, with reference to a document directing that cases of faction fighting shall no longer be tried at the guar. ter sessions, but sent to the assizes ; and, would the Chief Secretary state the nature of that document and the grounds for it ? Mr. ROEBUCK considered that the hon. and learned member was out of order for asking for this explanation. The SPEAKER said that the hon. and learned member was in order, and therefore he could not interfere. Mr. CARD - WELL said that the object of the document was not to offer any affront to magistrates of the quarter sessions, but mere.y to secure a selection of the parties who were to try those cases from a more extended area, and therefore inspiring more confidence in the results of trials of this character. THE DERRYVEAGH EVICTIONS. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he intended to propose any inquiry, either through a royal commission or select committee of the House of Commons, into the recent evictions from the lands of Derryveagh, in the county of Donegal, or as to the statements published by Mr. J. G. Adair, J.P., attributing a guilty knowledge of murder and other crimes to the evicted inhabitants ; also as to the several allegations made in Parliament on Mon day, the 24th day of June, that Ribbonism existed in that district ; or, if indisposed to originate an inquiry, would the Chief Secretary be prepared, on the part of the Govern ment, to support or sanction a motion for an inquiry pro posed by an independent member. Mr. CARDWELL said it was not intended to propose a committee on the subject. ALLEGED NEGLECT OF IRISH AFFAIRS. Mr. SCULLY gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the hon. member for Clonmel offered to resign his position as one of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, upon the ground that Irish interests had been disregarded by the present Administration, and has such offer been finally accepted ; and, if so, has the vacancy so created been filled up, and is it intended to fill it, and when ? SALVAGE OF VESSELS. Sir H. STRACEY asked the President of the Board of Trade if it was his intention to introduce a bill to remedy the defects in the law relating to owners and salvors of vessels. Mr. M. GIBSON said that some portions of the defects in the law had been remedied already by the provisions of the Admiralty Court Act, and the provisions of the Mer chant Shipping act were considerably extended. The law as it stood at present remedied the defects of the law as re garded British vessels, but it was necessary that, in or der to extend it to foreign vessels, that there should be an in ternational arrangement. Sir H. STRACEY inquired whether the right hon. gentleman would support a hill on this subject if he under took to introduce such a measure. Mr. M. GIBSON said he could not undertake to make such a promise without seeing the bill of the hon. baronet. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE. Sir S. NORTHCOTE moved for a return of the total income of each year from 1829 to 1860-1 inclusive as esti mated in the Budget, and of the actual income received ; the total expenditure so estimated and the actual expendi ture; the surplus or deficiency so estimated and the actual surplus or deficiency; the Exchequer balance at the com mencement of each year and the increase or the decrease of that balance at the close of the year; the balance of money raised by the creation of debt or of money applied to the reduction of debt; and the excess of advances or repay ments ; together with the date of each budget.—Agreed to. THE LUNACY LAW IN SCOTLAND. Mr. LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether he in- tended to introduce, during the present session, a bill to amend the Lunacy Act in Scotland? APPROPRIATION OF SEATS (SUDBURY AND ST. ALBANS) BILL. On the motion for the consideration of this bill as amended, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE contended that the bill had been so mutilated that it should be rejected, and that it was quite unprecedented to bring a bill which was really a new mea sure. He considered the metropolitan constituencies had rot been properly treated, and that the claims of Middlesex, Chelsea, and Kensington had been overlooked in a most shameful manner, considering the intelligence and importance of these districts. The bill pro posed to give the four additional members to the West Riding of Yorkshire, and yet Wakefield, one of the disfranchised boroughs, was situate in that Riding. (Hoar, hear.) In the whole of his Parliamentary experience he was not aware of such a departure from Parliamentary practice as was the case in reference to this bill, for at this stage there were six new clauses introduced, and between 20 and 30 amendments made. He called on the house to reject the bill, and moved, as an amendment, that it should be considered that day three months. Mr. SCULLY seconded the amendment. Mr. CONINGHAM also opposed the motion. row _Mr. HADFIELD supported the motion , and d atten tion to the wealth and population of the West which he contended fully entitled i t to the additional p Riding, rere! sentative. Lord J. RUSSALL said that there hill. Tandebmeeeneenuorecaesse made out for the rejection of the 1? originally introduced proposedgive an additional mem ber to the West Riding, one to to South Lancashire, one to Birkenhead, and ono member to Chelsea and Kensington. Tke three first propositions only re ceived the sanction of t h e c ommittee, for the proposal to give an addi tional member to either Middlesex or Chelsea and K ens i ng ton was rejected. He thought that the original propos ition of the G over nment was the more pre ferable. Tho question, ho w e ver, had been decided by the sense of the house, and there was no tenable argument azainst giving the additional representative to the West Riding, merely from the fact that it happened to contain within it the corrupt borough of Wakefield. Lord FERMOY supported the amendment, and con tended that the metropolis had been ti eated in a very unjust manner in the distribution of these seats. Ile con sidered the bill a very important measure, and he argued that the Government were acting in an unssemly manner in respect to the subject of reform by not going to the country. The house divided, and the numbers were—. For the consideration of bill as amended 204 Against it 28 Majority Mr. STIRLING then moved the following amendment : —That from and after the Ist day of November, 1861, the Universities of St, Andrew's, Glasgow, Aber deen, and Edinburgh shall be entitled collectively to return one member to serve in Parliament. The hon. member moved other amendments also, the effect of which was to carry out in detail the preceding alterations which he pro posed. He called attention to tke great importance of these universities which had been of the greatest advantage not only to Scotland, but to this country also, for they had provided first class eduei\tion without any restriction on sectarian grounds, a desideratum which had only recently been supplied iu England. He expatiated on the extent and intelligence of the members composing the Scotch Universities, and said that if institutions were per mitted to have a voice in the legislature that the represen tatives would not be found unworthy to take their place by the side of the representatives for the English Universities Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the motion of the hon. gentleman was in fact calling on the house to rescind a resolution to which they had co me in com mittee after considerable:discussion, and after a large majority had expressed their opinion. He argued that from the constitution of Scotch univeraities" up to a recent period they were not to be placed in the same position as the English and Irish universities. In the Reform Bill of 1832 there was no proposition to enfran chise the universities, and although a great improvement hail lately taken place in their constitution, by which graduation was necessary, still he did , not think the time bad arrived to give them a superior claim to the seats to be disposed of as compared with the West Riding and South Lancashire. Mr. C. BRUCE supported the amendments. [LEFT SPEAKING.] TATTERSAL LS'-(T1118 EVENING). ----~►-- JULY STAKES. 3to 1 agst Tolurno (taken) 3to 1 agst Elector (taken) 7to 1 agst Sir W.

Cunard, Wilson, and Co., of Liverpool, have issued the following half-yearly circular : " When we issued our circular of the 31st of De cember last the market for the sale of ships was active, and several superior new vessels had just been sold at improved prices. In the first three months of this year these prices were maintained, but the unfortunate outbreak of civil war in America led to anticipations that a large number of United States vessels would be forced upon the market; several were certainly offered for sale, but the prices put upon them were generally too high to enable us to effect many sales. In the early part of the year some vessels arrived with powers of sale at very low limits, and these were disposed of; but the vessels that have recently changed hands have realised better prices. The tonnage of the United States of America in 1845 was 2,476,765 tons, while in 1857 it amounted to 4,960,137 tons. In 12 years, therefore, it was more than doubled, and it seems impossible to compre hend how this enormous increase could have found profitable employment. At any rate it must, to some extent, have supplanted the flags of other nations, and the largest part has probably been absorbed in British ports. There is, therefore, every probability that in the present interrupted state of the American trade more United States vessels may be offered for sale, but we do not fear that these will have any effect in reducing the value of the new colonial tonnage, expected in August and September. United States vessels are generally well-built, but for some trades they do not com mand a preference, and many shipowners prefer buying vessels from our own colonies. Connected with this, we have pleasure in noticing that the model and style of finish of the Quebec ships of last season were much better than those of preceding years, and we are advised that those of this year's build will show still further improvement. Our market is now nearly clear of colonial-built tonnage, there being only nine vessels of 5,188 tons unsold, and British-built vessels continue to be inquired for. We are offering for sale a few very superior colonial ships launche since this day of last year, at prices varying from £7 10s. to £8 10s. per ton-, according to finish and outfit ; but some new vessels of good material, though rougher in workmanship and finish, and built in the northern parts of New Brunswick, can be purchased at considerably lower prices. Iron vessels, of 12 years' class, with East India outfit, can be built at from £l5 to £l7 per ton, and we especially note several inquiries for iron vessels some years old, and of from 400 to 1,000 tons register. High-classed British timber-built vessels, for the finer East India, China, and West Coast trades, will not, we believe, at present in crease in value. It appears that exporters are no t shipping largely, and that the general low outward freights must, to some extent, operate against an investment in this description of British tonnage. We regret to have to announce the loss of over 900 vessels, but we believe that up to this date it will not be greatly increased, Our recent ad vices from the North American colonies inform us that the amount of tonnage which will be launched for sale this year, subsequent to this date, will not exceed 51,000 tons ; of this, 22,000 tons may be expected from Canada ; 17,000 tons from St. John, New Brunswick, and neighbour hood ; 7,500 tons from the northern ports of New Brunswick •, and about 4,500 tons from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Of last year's new sail ing vessels, 647 of the tonnage of 105,554 were built in the British possessions, and registered in Great Britain ; while 686 timber-built vessels, of the ton nage of 112,097 tons, and 32 iron vessels, of the tonnage of 13,584 tons, were built and registered in the United Kingdom. The total amount of ton nage registered as British vessels appears to increase each year, and we again notice that the tonnage of steam increaes more than that of sailing vessels. The total of the former registered at the 31st Dec., 1859, was 389,515 tons, and in 1860, 454,327 tons, being an increase for the year of 16 2.3d5. per - cent, while that of sailing vessels was, in 1859, 3,879,592 tons ; and in 1860, 4,204,360 tons, being an increase of 81,- per cent. over the aggregate tonnage of 1859."
