The Midland Counties and Shannon Junction Railway, Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway, Lynn and Sutton Bridge Railway, and West Hartlepool Harbour and Rail way bills were read a third time and passed. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH pre§ented several petitions suggesting alterations and improvements in this bill. was obsolete, and considered the motion as a practical joke. Sir G. BOWYER supported the motion, and contended that the retention of the act in question was opposed to common sense. Mr. HENNESSY, with reference to the remarks of the right hon. gentleman . (Sir G. C, Lewis) said that Dr. M'Hale had been examined before a committee of the house, and described himself as Archbishop of Tuam, and his evi dence was printed under that designation. Sir G. C. LEWIS explained that the act had reference to existing sees, and as there was no Protestant Archbishop of Tuam, the act had not been infringed in the instance alluded to. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that the hon. member (Mr. Hennessy) should have introduced a bill on the sub ject, instead of endeavouring to get rid of the act in ques tion by a motion of this description. The committee agreed to certain claims but on coming to the clause relatingto the Ecclesi as ti ca l Titles Bill divided on the amendment of Mr. HENNESSY— For the amendment 4 Against it Majority —6s The amendment was accordingly lost, and the schedule was agreed to. The house then resumed. Mr. AYRTON drew attention to what he contended was an irregularity in regard to this bill. The measure originated with the House of Lords, and as it proposed to repeal certain acts relating to supply he considered it was an infringement of the privileges of this house. He gave notice that he would make a motion on the subject to morrow. The SPEAKER explained that as the bills alluded to were obsolete there could be no infringement of the privi leges of this house. PAROCHIAL OFFICES BILL. This bill, after some discussion, went through committee. OFFICES OF RESERVE (ROYAL NAVY) BILL. This bill went through committee, GOVERN "N I • 21A.ITY _ ordered for irtfreaditie.ri - , 'I I HE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL.

GOVERNMENT OF THE NAVY BILL. as amended, was considered and ordered for third reading. THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The SPEAKER announced that the Lords adhered to their amendment relative to the Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy , and Insolvency Court, but agreed to the other clauses with out amendments. The house then adjourned at five minutes past 6 o'clock. EXPERIMENTS A 7 S H OBBITRYNESS. experiments During yesterday some interesting were conducted at Shoeburyness, under the supe rintendence of the •Iron Plate Commission, upon two new kinds of targets, built up to resemble a portion of an iron-platettirigate's broadside. One target was sent in to,* experimented upon by Mr. Fairbairn. This was, abcpt ten feet long by six feet high, and consisted of four plates five inches thick, the upper and lower being: each about ten feet, the two in the centre being only five feet each. The pe culiarity of this target was that there was no wooden backing to the armour plating,for the attention of the commission has lately been .much directed to endea vouring to ascertain how fa;it is possible by a slight increase in the thickness of the plates to do away gular. These joint ribs are fastened through with 1 inch bolts, while the V shaped armour plates are secured by 9 inch bolts, 18 inches apart. Each ar mour plate rises from the side of the ship to an angle of about one foot in height, the face of each angle being also a foot in depth.. On this system Mr. Roberts contends a ship may be built of the same strength, costing only one fifth of the money required for a ship constructed Nvholly of iron, and being only one third of the latter's weight. The target experimented on at Shoeburvness was built entirely on the princii.le we have here mentioned, and was on the whole an exceedingly fine piece of workmanship. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Burn, C.E. (who is associated with Mr. Roberts in his inven tion), had, however, committed the serious fault of having their target made too small. It was only 6 feet by 4, and consequently, as all the shots were aimed low, they struck almost on. the same spots, which wanted the surrounding support a larger target would have naturally afforded. So far the test of strength was taken at a disadvantage to the invention. The first shot fired at it with 'a 1-lb. fiat-headed steel ball to test the iron struck upon the angular face of one of the armour plates. Yet, in spite of this, it apparently made as deep a dent as a similar projectile had made in the fiat upright plates of Mr. Fairbairn's target. Two 401 b, shells, filled with sand, were then fired from an Armstrong at 100 yards, butthen° perceptible damiger'A fiat-headed 40-pounderwhich was next fired struck one of the rib joint pieces we have spoken of be tween the angles, and broke it. It, however, still remained firm in its place, and a 100-pounder Arm strong shell, at 200 yards, did no apparent damage. Not so, however, with a solid shot at the same range, which came full upon the edge of the angle of the centre plate, inflicting a deep dent, and slightly fracturing through the plate itself. The next, a solid 68-pounder, hit full upon the same joint rib which had been struck and broken before with a tremendous blow. It "split the rib joint at its outer rivet hole, breaking off the end of it en tirely. Still, however, the target was quite firm apparently. The next 68-pounder fired struck full upon the extreme lower edge of the mark with such force as to shatter the wooden frame which sup ported it, and turn the target completely over on its face. It was evident, therefore, that this missile hit with undiminished force, and that apparently striking on the angle of the plate did; not, in this case at least, at all tend to make it glance off and so diminish the concussion. The target will be re placed and the practice continued at it again to day with the 100-pounder Armstrong solid shot. That this will break it up Mr. Roberts himself at at once admits. It has, however, already stood won derfully well considering the small size of the tar get itself, and that its plates are only three inches in thickness.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the East India Irrigation and Canal Company, setting forth the advantage that would accrue to India from the opera tion of the company. Famine would be prevented, and the supply of raw cotton would be very largely augmented. The petition prayed the Government would gives me ass_ is oleo - tOnieVtimpaiir. - '' The noble Ifird then Government were prepared to take the subject int t o side•L ration ? Earl. DE GREY and RIPON replied that the Govern ment would take into consideration any contract between the company and themselves which might meet with the approval of the Governor-General. CONSOLIDATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Accessories of Abettors Bill, the first of a class of bills for the consolidation of the criminal law. The noble and learned lord said the seven bills had been sent down to the other house, but at too late a period, last session of Parliament. : They were, however, referred to a select committee, where theprovisions of each were carefully considered, and some alterations Made. The amended bills had been introduced this session, and having passed the House of Commons, he now submitted them to their lord ships' consideration. The principal alterations related to punishment attached to offences against the person, and their tendency was in most cases to mitigate the punish ment. The bills were calculated to effect great good, and he therefore trusted tiler lordships would give their assent to the second reading of the bills. Lord CRANWORTH said he thought there was now a fair hoye that these bills, which had been so long under consideration, would become the law of the land. No two minds could exactly agree as to all the details of such bills; but as the alterations were not of a very material nature, he thought, in order to insure their passing this session, the alterations might be safely accepted. Lord CHELMSFORD thought the session too far ad vanced to admit of the amendments being fairly considered, and he thought their lordships might reason , bly complain of the bills being proceeded with at the present time. There were some very serious alterations, and he could not but think it would have been much better to have discussed the alterations b _fore the bills became law, as it was, however, their lordships must be supposed to accept the alterations. After a few words from Lord -WENSLEYDALE, Lord REDESDALE thought that amongst the seven bills, if there were any very serious alteration had been made, the wisest course to adopt was to postpone the pas sing of that particuiar bill till next session. The bill was, after a few observations from the LORD CHANCELLOR, read a second time. The following bills were read a second time :—The Cri minal Statutes Repeal, the Larceny, &c., the Malicious Injuries to Property, the Forgery, the Coinage Offences, the Offences against the :Person the Public Works and Harbours, the Lord Clerk Register Salary Abolition, the Durham University, the Trustees (Scotland), the Conjugal Rights (Scotland), the Metropolitan Building Act Amend ment:Om Drain• to of Land, the Public Offices Site, the Pensidli“Britis .rtes, India), the Windsor Suspended Canonrieg, the P Works (Ireland), Edinburgh Uni 'versity, Inland ' Stamp Duties on Probates, &c., and Revearae.D: Accounts. The Mupicipenelpetations Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. The following bills were read a third and passed :—The Salmon Fisheries, the Criminal Proceedings Oath Relief, the Naval 111edical Supplemental Fund Society, the Turn pikes Act Continuance, the Dealers in Old Metals, the Parochial and Burgh Schools (Scotland), the County Voters (Scotland), the Probates and Letters of Administration Act (Ireland) Amendment, and the Industrial Schools (Scot land). Their lordships then adjourned. LIABILITY OF SHIPOWNERS. Mr. MILLER asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the bill proposed to be brought in early next session on the liability of shipowners, pilotage, and other matters, it be intended to provide for relief to the owners of British and foreign vessels using certain public harbours from taxation for the maintenance of local institutions, and for payment of the debts of the municipalities where such harbours happen to be situate? Mr. M. GIBSON declined to give any explanation in reference to a bill to be introduced on a future session. (Laughter.) DELHI AND LUCKNOW PRIZE MONEY. Mr. DEEDES asked the Secretary of State for India, whether he was enabled to fix a more decided time for the settlement and distribution of the Delhi and Lucknow Prize Money than he did on the 3d of August last year, and again at the commencement of the session. And, what was now the cause of delay ? Sir C. WOOD said that he could not state whether a time was fixed for the distribution of the money, but the Indian Government had been urged on the subject. attention M r. t o DEEDES subjectgavh notice woulde s e e w ss o io u n ld . draw MR. HENRY DE WOLFE CARVELL. Captain JERVIS asked the First Lo rd of the Treasury that do i s f o n next o on what steps had been taken by the British Government to cause the liberation of Henry de Wolfe Carvell, Esq., a British subject, who, having proceeded to Lima as executor of the will of the late Michael Winder, Esq., also a British subject, after the opinion of the late Attorney- General had been obtained that the jurisdiction of the Court of Probate did not extend to the said will, had not only been unable, through the connivance of the local authorities, to recover the property of the testator ' but had even been pro hibited from leaving Lima, though it had been certified by proper medical authority that his detention in that climate was likely to prove fatal to him ? Lord PALMERSTON said the subject had been referred to the law officers of the Crown. GRANA FOR ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS. Mr. WHALLEY drew attention to the paucity of infor mation afforded by reports of Roman Catholic inspectors or Roman Catholic schools receiving public grants, and con eluding by a motion on the subject. Mr. NEWDEGATE seconded the motion, and com- plained of the insufficient information supplied Government by the report of the Council of Education for the present year> Sir G. LEWIS said that there could be no possible ob jection to supply any information on the subject, but he trusted the motion would be brought forward in a more specific manner. The motion was then withdrawn. MR. DUNLOP'S DESPATCHES. Mr. GRIFFITH moved for the production of the copies of Mr. Dunlop's despatches from Pesth, during the time that he was acting as diplomatic agent to this coun try in that locality. The hon. member entered into some details respecting the history of Hungary from an early epoch, and cercmented upon the critical position in which that country stood with regard to Austria. Lord PALMERSTON said that Mr. Dunlop was at tached to the embassy at Vienna, and was stationed for a certain time at Pesth, in order to give the Government a confidential report on a variety of matters which were use ful and interesting to the executive. But the information which he furnished was not of a character that could be properly laid before the house, for if publicity were given to information of that description, it would prevent persons in Mr. Dunlop's position supplying it in future. With regard to events passing in Germany, they were no doubt very important ; and considering the position which Austria occupied as a great central power of Europe, holding a balance between certain interests, it was to be hoped that nothing_ internal would occur to diminish its influence. W hatever opinion Government might entertain on the subject, they determined to adhere to the principle of non intervention. Mr. WHITE, while approving generally of the principle of non-intervention, thought that considering that the right for which the Hungarianswere now struggling having been guaranteed by the treaty of Vienna in 1815, this country was justified in interfering in their behalf. Mr. GRIFFITH withdrew his motion. ANNOYANCE JURORS (WESTMINSTER) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL.

E- 13-Sich irito lit plate: The iron used in this target was of the very best kind, and the whole of its workmanship was admi rable and substantial to the last degree, as the tests showed. First, a flat-headed steel shot, about Ilb. in weight, was fired against it to test the quality of the iron. This made only a dent of from a quarter to .one-third of an inch in depth. Two of Armstrong's 401 b. shell, filled with sand, were next discharged point blank at a distance of 100 yards. They also dented the iron to the depth of some three-quarters of an inch, but otherwise seemed to have but little effect, except upon the rivets of the angle iron in side the sheathing, which were apparently some what started. Two flat-headed 40-pounder steel shot, fired at the same range, produced more effect. Their indentation was quite an inch and a half, if not more, and the rivet heads holding the armour plates were evidently shaken, though apparently they held as firmly as ever. The 100-pounder Arm strong was next tried at 200 yards, with a shell filled with sand. This broke one of the angle irons is o ne f gm t l h ey e ol i ift n tt n lhe e e r dsa s m h m e aa a l glteheriwnr rivets, e ma dt os,n d e e a , yeta hdedenep the practically dent, wholean d st s uh t re a p r tr t ai e rs d : get seemed as strong as ever.

By the f orce o f th e concus sion the upper p la t e, with one of the centre small ones , was completely destroyed, and cam e crashing down, leaving those that s till remained in a very was ad a ny with of a 100 pounder shaky and precarious condition. It was, however, considered by all on the ground to have withstood the rude assaults it had received in the most extra ordinary manner. The screws held on to the very last, and a great deal longer than any one expected, while the plates, though, of course, much battered and defaced, were not only not broken, but showed no symptoms of becoming so. On the whole, there fore, it was considered that the resistance offered by a target built on this • plan had been most satisfac torily proved, and the value of some of i ts ; improve ments established. The next experiments were made upon a target invented by Mr. Roberts. This was the very re verse in principle from Mr. Fairbairn's, inasmuch as the thickness of the iron plates was dimi nished while the timber backing Was increased. Mr. Fairbairn's showed how shot -proof frigates might, with advantage, be made of iron only, while Mr. Roberts's was designed to prove that wooden ships could be as easily rendered shot proof as if specially built for the purpose. The back of this target was formed of wrought iron three-eighths of an inch thick. To this were fastened iron T plates, which en a frigate would run along the vessel's side fore and aft. Be tween these were fitted oak beams 9 inches square, which being all tight caulked hold the plates firmly in their position, so as to prevent lateral bend, and enable them to resist the maximum pressure due to their strength. Over this again comes another layer of beams and T plates, placed vertically, fitted in the same way and bolted firmly in to the ship's side. Over all this comes the armour plates. Each of these latter are 3 inches thick and 2 feet wide, and made in an angular form, something like a wide shaped letter V. All the joints are planed so as to insure accuracy of fit, and thus when a ship's side was covered with these plates, the alternate angular projections and recesses would resemble in shape, on a small scale, the ordinary ridge and fur row roofing used in glass buildings, Where the longitudinal joints occur a recess is cut in the plates, into which is fitted an iron rib 6 inches wide and 41 deep, the outside face of the rib being also an- THE NAVY. By orders front the Admiralty, a commission has been formed to inquil.e .into and report upon the best mode of ventilating ships of war. Among the members composing the commission are Capt. A. P. E. Wilmot, RN., C.B. ; Mr. G. Mur doch, inspector .nf machinery afloat at Portsmouth ; and Mr. J. B. Peake, master shipwright at Devon port Vockyard. - They hold their first meeting at PortsAidnth to-day. It is reported r on good authority that the Donegal, 101, screw, Capt. Sherard Osborne, is the ship that has been selected by the Admiralty to accompany the Warrior on her first trial trip at sea. The Duncan, 101, screw, on her trial of speed at the measured mile, in Stokes Bay on Monday, realised a speed of 13 knots, with the common two btadr readin‘r , Id blades fitted At an early hour yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had the whole of the officers and men of the Royal Engineers assem bled on their parade ground in `Brompton Barrack square, where, soon after 8 o'clock, General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., Inspector-General of Fortifica tions, apd . several other general officers, arrived.

Thequick inspecting officers next proceeded to the fieldworks, between Brompton Barracks and the river Medway, wherAthe Roy al an d Indian Engineers are instructed in throwing up earth Works, excavating trenches and stiPs, And forming' bridges. Here 'his Royal HighneSti spent nearly two hours in the examina tion of various :works on which the Engineers have been; employed in ,the course of ,the summer. During his , inspeetign his Royal Highness and the, other distinguished officers examined with much interest an invention' by Major Lovell, Royal En gineers, by Which si`ny'number of mennmay be em ployed in sapping eldse up : to• the; enemy's lines without the slightest fear of being• exposed to a hostile fire. Hi Royal Highness then proceeded to witness some experiments with four different descriptions of pontoons, in order to ascertain which_ was the best adapted for use in the service. The pontoons were moored in St. Mary's Creek, and a bridge formed, extending nearly across that arm of the Medway. The pon toons tested were the ordinary barrel pontoons; those known as General Blanshard's, which are now used in the service; a pontoon invented by the late General Sir Charles Pasley; and a most valu able invention by Capt. F. Fowke, Royal Engineers: In order to ascertain the maximum weight each' description of pontoon would sustain, a'l6-pounder field-piece, with carriage complete, weighing about 42ewt., was wheeled backward and foiward across the raft by about 50 men, whose additional weight was, of courae, thrown on the bridge. The ordinary Blanshard pontoons, which were moved 8 feet 4 inches apart, bore the strain well, the "dip" in the water being very trifling. On the Weight being thrown on the Pasley pontoons, however, they were almost entirel7 submerged. These pontoons were placed at intervals of 12 feet 6 inches. Capt. Fowke's pontoons are made of a light kind of can vass, of great strength, and waterproof. When a pontoon is in use it is Stretched to the required form, and assumes the dppearance of a small barge. The sustaining power of these pontoons, however, is very considerable ...and, this : was fully evidenced in the tri3.4-';regtam---Al4irceas4rlc+4etavttvattt-erIK-r bore the strain thrown upon them without any apparent yielding. There is little doubt that in a short time this pontoon will supersede all others now in use, possessing, as it does, among other superior advantages, that of great portability. His Royal Highness, after leaving the pontoon-hard, proceeded to another portion of the fieldworks to witness some subaquaeous explosions and also the destruction of a four-gun battery, built accordsng to the principles laid down by Sir John Burgoyne. The submarine explosions in St. Mary's Creek was undertaken to show the ease with which piles, barriers, or any other obstruction in rivers or har bours might be removed, the charges of powder sunk to the required depth, being ignited by means of the voltaic battery. Although the quantity of powder was by no means large the force expended. " was very great, the water, the irstant the powder was fired, being forced up to a height of fully 100 feet in a fine spiral column. The 4 gun battery destroyed had been several weeks in hand by the Royal Engineers. It consisted of an elevated and half-sunken portion, beneath which galleries were driven for depositing the powder. The weight cf gunpowder required to destroy this mass of earthwork was 5801 b., deposited in three charges of 100 lb. each, and two of 1401 b. each. The instant the powder was ignited—which in this instance was accomplished with Col. Oude's fuse, as well as the voltaic pile—the entire battery crumbled into dust, and was tossed to a great height into the air, which was for an instant darkened. Tne Duke left the garrison shortly before 1 o'clock Yesterday (Tuesday) morning Major-General T. Bloomfield, Inspector-General of Artillery, accom panied by his aide-de-camp, Brevet-Major C. C.

THE CENSUS FOR SCOTLAND.--One of the chief causes, perhaps the main cause of the delay in the publica tion of the census returns for Scotland, which has been so much complained of, was the insufficiency numerically of the staff of clerks allowed at the Registrar-General's office For the compilation and arrangement of the returns for Scotland only four clerks were available, for those of Eng land they had in London sixty clerks, while in Dublin they had no fewer than one hundred. For England, with its eighteen millions of population, the proportion of clerks in the London office is not unreasonable, but that Ireland, with less than double the population of Scotland, should have required for its census a hundred clerks, while we were compelled to manage with four, surely requires explana tion.—Scotsman. in wh t where it was districts, except in the low and wet positions, could be produced apparent many weeks ago that no ho i ds the bine, though Tio H Ns o .

A full Board of Admiralty, consisting of the Duke of Somerset, First Lord ; Admiral Sir F. Grey, •Capt. Eden, Capt. Frederick, Mr. Whitbread, M.P. ; Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary ; and Capt. John Moore, private secretary to the First Lord ; Admiral Robinson, Controller of the Navy; and Col. Greene, Director of Engineering and Architectural Works, arrived at the dockyard at Woolwich yesterday morning, and after transacting the usual official business in the Commodore's office, proceeded to in spect the Caledonia (building in No. 4 shed), one of the new iron-cased ships of 4,200 tons burden. The Caledonia was commenced about five weeks ago, and her frame isnearly completed and in place; her planking, beams, &c,, being rapidly provided and put together by a large body of workmen. The Board were pleased to express their satisfaction at the great progress which had been made since the order was given to proceed with the vessel. They next visited the Basilisk, repairing in No. 2 dock, and the Adventure in No. 3 dock. The latter ship is one of the iron transports lately pur chased into the service, and is of such great length that the dock required to be lengthmed in order to admit her. The Repulse, 91 guns, on slip No. 4, and Wolverene, 21 guns, on slip No. 5, were then examined. The latter vessel is building on an en tirely new construction. Her deck beams are wholly of iron instead of limber, and are rolled in one length, under Bertram's patent system of weld ing, instead of riveting. This arrangement tends to meet the present urgent and pressing demands for timber of large sizes, and was admitted by their lordships to be of great importance at the present time. The Board, after inspecting the boats fitting out for the Warrior, returned along the wharf to the west end of the yard. The Dartmouth, 36 guns, and Sylvia, 6 guns, building on Nos. 1 and 2 slips, were carefully examined, and the Board then proceeded to the -Trusty in the inner basin, which is fitted with Captain Coles's shot-proof shield. They took particular interest in the examination of this formidable apparatus, by which it is proposed to shelter the gunners, guns, and ammunition dur ing action, examining also the manner in which an Armstrong 40-pounder gun mounted within was enabled to operate entirely unseen. After inspect ing the steam-engine factory the Board proceeded to the stores of timber in the yards. At the police quarters in the yard Sir Richard Mayne pointed out the great disadvantages of the asphalte flooring there. Its entire removal was immediately ordered. The Board, in conclusion, visited the infirmary, to examine, in working order, the new patent cooking cook Benhamfor theand Sons, whol o o o f f apparatus London.

Their lordships then left for London. Every exertion is being made at Chatham to complete the Arethusa, now occupying No. 3 dock in this dockyard, where she is being converted into a screw steam frigate, of 51 guns and 500-horse power; she has also been considerably lengthened amidships and at the stern, and strengthened to ren der her suitable for a steam ship. On Monday morning two extra gangs of shipwrights were placed upon the vessel, making the total number of hands now engaged upon her upwards of 200. It is intended to send her from the dock on the 9th of next month, as it is required for the accom modation of the Defence, 800-horse power, which is bui ldin g at Jarrow, on the Tyne, and which is o rdered to fit out at this yard. 18, screw steam ship , After nearly a sear's preparation, a commence ment was yesterday made a t Chatham of the Achilles, 50, iron steam friga te, which is to be built at that yard. The first p late of this, which is to be the most formidable of our mailelad steamers, was suc cessfully turned in the presence of Capt. Fanshawe, THE ARMY. When Lord Aberdeen and M. Guizot, some 16 years since, were for uniting to preserve the balance of power on the' A merican Continent, and to cave Texas and Mexico from ;ailing, into the hands of the ambitious Anglo-Saxon Republic, they little thought that a time was to come when numbers of their own countrymen would he willing, for the sake of morality and humanity, that the incorporation should take place, while the United States would be incapable of the long-meditated aggression. What ever may be the issue of the civil war in that country the state of Mexico must engage its early attention on the return of peace. The hopes of conquest to the southward, which Mr. Jefferson Davis and his friends have cherished for so long, seem likely to be realised should the Seceders succeed in establishing their independence. lf, on the other hand, the Union be re-cemented by force, the North will be able to give a rich bribe to the slaveowners, by allowing them to add to the Federal territory the beautiful land which is now lapsing into barbarism. Mexico —cursed by the occupation of a mongrel and constantly degenerating race, superstitious, blood thirsty, and cowardly, ignorant to a degree scarcely to be believed, and vet too vain to learn from its neighbours —cannot long remain without sonic in terference from without. Unless England or the United States determine to suppress the outrages which are taking place, it will be impossible for either to condemn any bold adventurer who shall seize upon the Government, and shelter life and property under his despotic power. No one dwelling in a civilised country can have a notion of the state of this unhappy region, where, in the neighbour hood of a stately capital, with theatres and concert - rooms filled every night with brilliant audiences, Lands of ruffians are robbing, murdering, and tor turing in the name of the Church and the Con stitution. We are aware that the tale of Spanish-Ameri can revolutions is not very interesting to English readers, who, besides their general disincli tion to puzzle themselves over strange names -and .complicated events,4ave a natural impa tiencevf-tireste nnmea iu &AU' uggl eav Whitt - on year after year without object or cone "- sion. But the indignities and the irreparable in juries sustained by British subjects deserve more attention. That there should be a country four weeks voyage of our shores, bound to u by treaties, as well as by ties of gratitude forsympathy and valuable assistance afforded in times gone by ; that in such a country our merchants and settlers shOuld be openly pillaged, imprisoned, and banished, and should narrowly escape with their lives when .pver a change in the fortunes of two implacable factions takes place; and that this should go on year after year in spite of the remonstrances of our re presentatives in Mexico and the Foreign Secretary at ho'me,'all of whom are unable to exact the smal lest repatiation for these outrages—are matters which would hardly be overlooked by the English public ,were it not for the great events which are passing ,in Europe, and among the Americans of our own race. The history of the civil war which has raga_ for the last three years is of course but vaguely known by our readers. They will, however, pro bably recollect that the so-called Church party, headed by the priests, has after a long struggle, been defeated ; and that Juarez, said to be a full blooded Indian, is the Liberal President of the Mexi can Republic. The original cause of quarrel was the attempt of the clergy to establish an ecclesiastical domination over the State. As is well known, the wealth of the ecclesiastical corporations was enor mouq.t Of the produce of the Mexican mines a 14rgd proportion was, in the old days of Spanish do mination, consecrated to the Church, and went to build.and embellish those superb edifices which are Abe wonder of travellers. Its real property also was, qnd is, very large; and so great, accordingly, ,was the power bf the priests . that when the oppo site party threatened them with the sale of their wpr6pertylthey were able to buy up the whole gar rison of the city of Meiico, to ov er th row th e Go vernment, and to set up a tool of their own' as Pre sident. The favour of France and the apathy of Eng landcaused Zuloaga to be recognised. It is whispered that the, influence of the priests with a n ill ustr i ous peraonage in France was not without its effect in determining the policy of the Emperor. The French Ministerreceived instructions to side with the Church ,party, and probably those instructions have not yet changed. The consequenee has been an overthrow of social order and a demoralisation of the whole people, which exceeds anything that is passing in the kingdom of Naples itself. All that can be said in favour of the present state of things is that the priests have not been actually successful. When Comonfort was &placed harez retreated to Gua flalaau and:, took Cruz until last year his refuge party were triumphant. He has been appointed Presi dent, after the Church faction had committed every kind of atrocity during their term of power. But the Church party, though worsted, are not destroyed, nor even totally discouraged. They are still ravaging various districts of country, and per petrating deeds which excite horror even in that land of blood. Two ruffians, named Marquez and Galvez, are at the head of the Church rebellion, and they have with them the feeble tool of their party, Zuloaga. These men are described as insensible to every emotion of mercy when their political oppo nents fall into their power. They are, in fact, gue rillas of the most savage class, far worse than the worst who fought on the Carlist side during the civil war in Spain. The horrors perpetrated during the last few weeks are scarcely credible. One of them may serve as a specimen. On the 2d of June a certain Don Melchior Ocampo was taken prisoner by Marquez, and Don Francisco Schiafino by Gal vez. Both these unfortunate men were well-known citizens, and not much fear for their safety pre vailed ; for the Mexican desperadoes, like the Klephts of Thessaly, were accustomed to release their prisoners on the payment of ransom. In fact, oars were received from the captor of Schiafino to the effect that on the pay ment of 30,000 dols. and 300 rifles he would be set at liberty. His fate was not known at the de parture of the mail, but it had been ascertained in the city that Ocampo had been literally tortured to death by the order of Zuloaga and Marquez. He had been beaten and ill-used in various ways for two days, had then been half-killed by shots, and at last hwuenreg sent ttill againsth e di theed'rebTewl:bduettabaucontrhthdahmae f General Valle, the commander of one of t hem , l etus troops fhmne ateartivyelaeedlrsi every his o ffi cers but one, and many of his soldiers, were shot or hanged in cold blood.

Even in the streets of Mexico passengers are knocked down and robbed almost with impunity. The Government shoots and hangs promptly where it can catch the offenders, who are very often priests, but its efforts do mot seem perceptibly to diminish the number. Indeed, it is plain that the whole country is thoroughly demoralisedi and brought to the brink of ruin; and unless friendly Powers in terfere to support the Government it is impossible that civilisation can survive the trials to which it is exposed.— Times. were murdered, ehn dt t e the ,wecodo a nd wild on the wing, three THE RED SEA CABLE.—it is understood that Government have decided on receiving a report on the are thi s year, nor the young con dition of the Red Sea cable, and the amount necessary to effect the repairs, and that Sir Charles Bright and Mr. Latimer Clark, the electricians, are now engaged in pre paring the same.—London and China Telegraph.
