STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Under this title a pamphlet, published in the shape of a letter to the Lord Mayor, has just made its appear ance from the pen of Mr. James Laming. This gentle man summarises as follows his propositions for the mail route, viz. : " Summary of proposed route for the Australian and Cape mails. OUTWARDS.—Australian Mails. " England to Melbourne with mails direct in ships of 3,000 tons in 50 days. Cape of Good Hope Mails. "The Mauritius and Cape mails to leave London via Marseilles, ou the 10th of every mouth. To Aden Aden to Mauritius Mauritius to Cape 15 days. 35 days. England to the Cape of Good Hope ... HomMARDS.—MaiI Route. Melbourne to Mauritius 2O days. Branch from Mauritius to Aden . 10 „ Aden via Marseilles to London l5 „ Melbourne to England by mail route 45 days. Main Route. Melbourne to Mauritius 2O days. Coaling 2 „ Mauritius to Cape with outward Cape mail Time to reply to correspondence Passage home with the homeward Cape mail 3O II Melbourne to England by direct over sea route " For this arrangement—combining the most rapid steam postal service at all points, with the least expensive, most convenient and quickest conveyance of those preponderat ing classes of passengers, that, frequently accompanied by their families, cannot afford the enormous cost inseparable from the Red Sea route—every possible advantage may be fairly claimed. It provides for the utmost acceleration of the mail., out and home, that experience, nautical skill, and constructive science can accomplish ; it leaves a choice of homeward conveyance to passengers from the Mauritius ; and outward or homeward it presents the most appropriato means for freightage of whatever kind, without transshipment—to Australia for British and Eu ropean exports, and from Australia, for gold and other colonial productions. Whilst the ships employed in the main line may be decked and refitted on their return, and thus add the assurance of greater certainty and regularity in the performance of their duty. " Further advantages will be perceptible to commerci alists and others who examine the subject from different points of view; but I prefer confining myself to what T believe to be the most prominent, because I would rather understate my case than overrate it ; and thus submitting it to the judgment of the public through the influential medium of your lordship's name, for the reason assigned at the commencement of this letter, I respectfully as sume that my proposition contains all the essential ele ments of the most `eligible route' to and from our Aus tralian colonies."

In both Houses it. will be observed that the explana tions of her Majesty's Ministers are limited to the more immediate question pressed upon them by the dismissal of our minister. That is the first thing to be considered —whether or not we shall continue diplomatic relations with the TJnited States through the medium of the gen deman now representing that government at our Court? Neither Lord Clarendon nor Lord Palmerston says a word on the subject of Central America, really at the bottom of the whole affair. They make no allusion to Ir. Marcy's refusal of arbitration on the souse of the treaty, and offer of a reference to a scientific autho rity on some questions of fact. Lord Palmerston, indeed, assures us that nothing more is intended by the slight addition to our naval force in that part of the world than to protect British property and subjects, and to prevent needless collision. We shall not, therefore, go into that matter, except just so much as to exoress our conviction that, had not the United States' Government come to the conclusion that it was expedient to get rid of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty in one way or another, and clear that field for political , perations, we should never have heard a syllable of the recruiting question. It is evident that the United States' Government is not very pressing for an immediate solu tion of the Central American difficulty, c insidering that just now things are going on favourably for its interests. The recruiting question, however, had ripened to a criti cal maturity, and could not be postponed. In this elem.- g,ency the American President has, perhaps, taken the mildest course that remained, short of giving it up alto gether. No doubt, he could hardly have done that with out damaging himself and his friends very considerably with his people ; and of course it is not to be expected that an American President should make a martyr of himself for the peace of the world, still less for any con sideration to the feelings of England. In saying that the 'United States' Government has adopted a half-measure, and that our Government has met it more than half way—in admitting that both sides had a right to do what they have done—the one without giving offence, the other without loss of honour—we do not for one moment blink the fact that the result, so far, is anything but flattering to the pride of this country. If there are any people in the United States capable of - Tratification at the fact, we certainly have been touched in our honour, and we submit with as much grace as we can to what all feel an insult. We have no disposition to slur over that fact, for we are n , t without hope that the British people will be rather less liable to this spe cies of annoyance for the future. We do not think the people of England will henceforth sit by so quietly while proceedings to which they have the gravest objection, and negotiations of which they have an utter distrust, are going on, nobody knows how, under the shield of the Royal prerogative. The honour of England can hardly be said to he in its own keeping, when month after month its representatives ask, and ask in vain, what has been done, what complaints have been received from ether Governments, what answers have been sent, what is the present state of the quarrel, and what its probable conclusion. Throughout the whole of this recruiting affair, and the correspondence arising out of it, the British publi• has only known the steps taken by its ,wn Government when the American Government had already acted upon them. We adhere to our opinion, that the American Government has not acted with iommon generosity in this affair, and that its pre tence of lasa majestas or offence against its territ rial sovereignty is simply got up for the occaeion. Never thelee, the common sense of this country would not have allewed Mr. Crampton to go on, week after week, plunging deeper into a difficulty, at the very moment when there was nothing the American Government so earnestly wanted for Central American purposes. Often mod often indeed has the British people been plunged nto war or forced to humiliation before they knew what t was all about, and by men whose names had hardly re ached them. We cannot but think that the tim e is going by for this sort of work. At least, if England make no eff)rt to stop it after the present affair, it de erves the consequences. (Prone the Morning Post. ) The public will have learnt, from the explanations made last night in the House of Commons, that the British Government, anxious not to throw away by any act of theirs any chance of preserving the peace of the world, and preventi ng th e d eve l opmen t i n t o war of the ill-founded quarrel forced upon us by the United States, have now determined to accept the position pressed upon them by the Government of President Pierce, and to , ecede to the retention of Mr. Dallas at the Court of London as a Minister charged with the conduct of pecial negotiations and endowed with unusual discre tionary powers. Our own opinions have, as our readers are aware, pointed rather in a contrary direction. We have entertained strong doubts of the policy, as well as the justice, of our yielding to such an extent to the pressure put upon u= by the Cabinet of Washington, sinless, as we expressed ourselves in an article which we devoted to the sobj.ct on Saturday last, we could be satisfied that the dismissal of Mr Crampton was the re sult not so much of a determination deliberately taken and acted upon by the Government of the United States to neutralise the prestige and enfeeble the influence of England in the Western world, as the consequence of the necessity of a domestic political position personal to President Pierce. Looking at the events which have preceded these unhappy differences, and weighing the c eumente which have been made upon them on the other side of the Atlantic, we felt ourselves driven, how ever unwillingly, to the adoption of the more unfavour able of the alternatives which offered themselves to us in solution of the measures taken by America at this junc- It is very difficult to gauge accurately the depth o public opinion in a country with a population and a Go vernment like that of the United States, and we may have misapprehended the nature and tendency of the cur rent which has been setting against the barriers of peace. It may be that the movement is stirred up by nothing mere permanent or important than the demand for party cries on the eve of a struggle for party ascendancy ; al though it is scarcely credible that a man at the head of the Executive of a great nation should be so little minded and so wicked as to hazard the peace of the world for the sake of an election, or for the paltry object of placing out at large interest a political capital. If this be so, it such a state of things and such a condition of political morality and public feeling be possible, as a consequence of her in stitutions, in a country becoming, as America is, every day more implicated in the c‘mcerns of Europe, the sooner she sets herself in earnest about their modification the better. The House of Commons appeared to be entirely with Lord Palmerston on the question ; and we are con tent to suspend our own judgment in the matter, waiting in hope that the patience, the self-control, and the saga city which the noble lord has displayed throughout the anxious and imitating discussion of the points at issue between the two nations may meet their reward in the attainment of the objects at which he aims in common with us—in common with the whole civilised world, who stand by, deeply interested spectators of these lamentable events. Wrong and redolent of party spirit as his speech of last night was, Mr. Disraeli was right, no doubt, in his obser vation that the enlistment question, and what Mr. Cramp ton, or his agents or his correspondents, had done or writ ten, was not the real reason of the display of ill•feeling upon the part of the Government of the United States, which gives us so much trouble, and the whole world so much apprehension. An idea has, no doubt, been engendered in their minds that England is jealous of the growth of America, and stands in her path, an obstacle to the expansion of her territory and the increase of her power. We are not, as Americans understand and use the word, " jealous" of them, neither are we averse from the legitimate expansion of their power ; but the modes in which they have attempted to ad vance themselves by the deglutition by foul mean', when fair failed, of every attractive possession in the hands of weaker neighbours, has compelled watchful ness, and created justifiable suspicion. Nor can we, consistently with our duty to other countries with whom we are in connection, or with a proper care of our own position and interests, permit that complete absorption and ultimate isolation of all the States of the Western World which some of America's most fa mous and accredited statesmen contemplate as the legi timate object of the mission of the United States. If Mr. Dallas have power, and possess ability and temper, to settle the great and vexed questions to which the progressive expansion of his country has given rise, so as to prevent war now and for years to come, and so as to obtain, through the voice of the American people, the recognition of some principles founded in reason and justice, by which that expansion shall be governed—for proceed, we are aware, it will and must in some shape, and under some conditions —we, for one, shall he content to accept such a consummation in ex change for the great concession which the Crown of Great Britain has just made to the Cabinet of Presi- Ana tPierce. The Siècle offers the following reflections on the Anglo-American question : " Were we in the year 1817, at that epoch when Count Pozzo di Borgo proposed to the continental powers a crusade against the United States, ' a perpetual hot bed of revolutionary ideas,' we o luld comprehend that the United States, with a legitimate pride, might wish to prove, in accepting a war with England, that their independence is above all the attempts of the old world. But to-day, when nobody denies and much less attempts to menace this independence, so dear to all who desire for liberty an inviolable refuge on earth ; to-day, i when the American Union is recognised, is admitted as a great power, and is excluded from Congresses and political alliances simply because it suits the States to be so, a war would have no excuse of national dignity, of that dignity to which we easily conceive may be subjected material interests. The suspension of diplomatic relations would not be for us a sign that war is inevitable. The national dignity being intact, nothing remains to the Anglo-American difference that is not susceptible of an easy arrangement. In the enlistment question England knew herself grand, powerful, and honoured enough not to hesitate in giving every satisfaction which could be exacted between men of honour as between nations. There exist no longer serious motives of war. With respect to Central America, a species of misunder standing exists which must be cleared up sooner or later. Let us suppose that the United States, directly or indirectly,:ohtain possession of the Isthmus of Panama: they could not adjudge to themselves the monopoly of the passage across the isthmus, which is the high road between Europe and Asia. Transpose the sup position and allow that the English werebecome masters of the isthmus : the whole world would rise if necessary to obligs them to leave the passage free to all nations. The question of the neutralisation of the isthmus is like that of the right of neutrals ; it is a question impossible for any one to solve against the will and general interest of civilisation. A war in or der to arrive at a solution desired by the whole world, and which none is powerful enough to refuse, would be more than an iniquitous war ; it would be un just and absurd. The agitators of opinion on the other side of the Atlantic say that Europe must not be per. milted to oppose the expansion of the United States. These are big words, destined to screen a project disap proved of by the majority of the American nation as soon as it is unveiled : the project of conquering terri tories which may lend themselves to favour the exten sion of slavery, and thereby tend to establish the domi nation of the south over the north—a domination which, by the by, would be singularly facilitated by the seizure of Central America. But let the slave states be on their guard. A species of civil war has commenced in Kansas, and the south may before long comprehend that separa tion has more importance as a menace than as an act. A. million bales of cotton per annum, this is the pro duction in the name of which the Southern States believe to explain and justify all. A million bales of cotton may, in a few years, be produced by Algeria without slaves, and then , The Government of Mr. Pierce is too near its legal termination to precipi tate the country into a war which conicl;mily - be carried on for some time by the United States by-moatia of pri vateers, the abo'ition of which has been hailed as one of the most genuine proofs of progress in international policy." Naval and Military InteiligenGe. Her Majesty's ship Nile, 91, Capt. Mundy, left Spit head yesterday afternoon under steam and sail for North America. The Queen of the South and Trent steam transports went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to land the Royal Artillery, &c , they arrived with on Sunday from the Crimea. The steam despatch gun-boats Assurance and Sparrow hawk, Commanders Jones and Cress well, made a trial of their engines and speed at Stokes Bay yesterday, pre paratory, it is supposed, to following the squadron under Captain Watson. The Otter steam-vessel, 3, Lieut. Glover, left Ports- Mouth yesterday, with supernumeraries, for the east ward. At noon yesterday the hired transport Sir Robert Sale, No. 186, having in tow the sailing transport No. 125, was off Plymouth Sound, up Channel. Both bad troops on hoard. At 5 o'c'ock in the evening the Himalaya, from the Crimea, hauled in t'wards the Sound, and, on receiving orders from the Port• Admiral, proceeded to Portsmouth. The entire steam squadron sailed from Falmouth on Friday, the following- under sealed orders—viz , Im perieuse, 51, Capt. Watson, C. 8., with the Victor, Ringdove, and Intrepid, double funnel despatch boats, and the others on a cruise, comprising the Wanderer, Pioneer, Mohawk, and Lapwing, single funnel despatch boats, and the Starling, Drake, Beaver, and Janus, gun-boats. These vessels had all been fully stored and provisioned for sea. The iron paddle-wheel steamer Princess Alice and the steam transport Rhadatuanthus wore yesterday admitted into the outer basin of Woolwich dockyard. The steam-shipTauru•, Captain George R. Langlands, recently taken up for the transport service of Govern ment, and numbered 23, arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning from Liverpool, for the immediate sbiptnent of shot and ammunition for Quebec and Halifax. The storing of the magazine, which is to be as spacious as the accommodation of the ship will admit, is to be com menced forthwith, and during the interim the embarka tion of gun-carriages, shot, and Tower stores, bedding, &c., will be carried out, when she will be moored in the stream for the transfer of the ammunition which is de posited in the floating magazine, and she will most pro bably be ready for sea before the end of the month. The steam transport Alice Jaokson, No. 30, has ar rived off Woolwich Arsenal, and has commenced land ing her cargo of returned Ordnance supplies from the East. It consists of shot, shell, and other stores. The Maria Catarina, from Funen, and three other Swedish schooners, have arrived off Woolwich Arsenal, and landed about 400 tons of pig iron, which is intended for gun casting purposes. Colonel Needham, Royal Artillery, and the officers and gunners forming that portion of the E and W bat teries, lately landed at Portsmouth, arrived at head quarters, Woolwich, yesterday morning, with the whole of the horses in good condition. An esca,iading party, consisting of eight officers and 128 non-commissioned officers and privates, the whole selected from the troops belonging to the Provisional Battalion at Chatham, proceeded yesterday afternoon from Chatham Barracks to the ramparts at the rear of Brompton Barracks for the purpose of being instructed in escalading by Colonel H. Sandham, Director of the iloya,l Engineers' Establishment, and Major F. C. Has sari, R.E. Yesterday a field battery, consisting of 5 officer., 122 horses, 184 men, 6 gun., and 11 carriages, arrived at Liverpool, and embarked the same evening for Dublin in the Prince and Princess steamers.

From Dublin the Princa and Princess will bring 4 officers, 384 men, and 221 horses belonging to the 4th Dragoon Guards. The steam-ship Cleopatra arrived at Liverpool from Dublin yesterday with the West York Rifles, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Monckton, who pro ceeded to Pontefract. The Cleopatra will proceed to Dublin to-morrow with the Bth depot. The Eugenie sailing-transport left Liverpool for Cork on Sunday. At Cork she will embark troops of the line and sail for Halifax. The Great Britain steam-ship, which arrived at Liver pool on Saturday from Malta, with the 3d Royal Lan cashire and the Northamptonshire Militia from Gibraltar, went into dock yesterday, and the troops proceeded to their depots. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Lieutenant F. Harvey to the Atalanta ; Lieutenant D. E. Orr, to the Boscawen ; Lieutenant Geo. Blake ley, to the Boscawen ; C. H.

The Assernblie Nationale publishes a article on the progress of events in Italy ; and after depre ciating the efforts of M. do Cavour, it thus pro nounces itself : " The reception given for an instant to the claims and pretensions of Piedmont was in fact only a satisfaction accorded to an ally ; there resulted from it no new engagement. Unfortunately this has not been compre hended in Italy, wh ere the spirits are excited, and where a great and dangerous ferment has been created. It is difficult to reckon on the Sardinian Government to calm this effervescence and repair the harm it has inflicted. Who knows to what extreme resolutions and to what perils it may be ag ain committed ? Let however, hope that the truth will not fail to become known in the Peninsula, and that i t will convince those who dream of fresh disturbances of the fate which awaits them if they are foolhardy enough to attempt n new rising. We are struck with the perseverance with which the English Government returns to the subject of the occupation of Rome by French troops, its remarks on the irre gularity of such a s tate of things, and the neces sity of terminating it, &C &c. We are not re quired to examine afresh this question, but is it not strange to see the English . Government ever at tempting to find in it a subject of incessant pro tests ! England felt no scruple in occupying with France a short time agea portion of the Greek king. dom, without being invited by the government of that country, not to say against its wishes. And she pro longs this occupationwithout consulting the Greeks on the subject. Whence therefore arise her scruples when it be comes a question of the Roman States ? The occupation of Rome by French tro o p s is a simple question between the Pope and Frauce. The English Government is in no wise interested in it, and in our opinion the eagerness with which it demands the conclusion of the occupation should suffice to render us very attentive and circum spect in the matter." THREATENED STRIKE AT PRESTON.—A movement for j an advance of wages has ui!t commenced among the power-loom weavers and winders of Preston, which threatens to assume ere long the character of another strike. A meeting of delegates is announced to be held on Tuesday (to -morrow), at which weavers from all the mills are invited to attend. LEICESTER ELECTlON. — According to all appearances (says the Leicester Mercury of Saturday) the content for the representation of Leicest , r is already determined . No doubt can exist as to the fact that on the Parlia mentary register of the borough the more advanced Lib er als possess an imposing majority. The decision of this important section of the community has been pro nounced in favour of Mr. J. Biggs, at a public meeting attended by at least 1,200 electors, atrong whose num bers it is certain that most of the active and influential leaders of the cause of reform, in this town, were included, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. TRUELOCK Y. HOIMBHOLDERS' LIFB, &C., COMPANY. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Lord Campbell, in summing up the evidence, said that these modern life assurance companies, by their eager grasping after profits, held out great temptations, and brought about the most lamentable consequences. The defendants' company said that all their policies were indisputable except in the case of gross fraud. It ap peared they were informed that another company had rejected the life, but they accepted it, adding 14 years. Ttiat might be done in good faith, but it led to serious consequences, and if the company were called upon to pay unexpectedly he (Lord Campbell) thought they would have only themselves to blame. They had, how ever, guarded themselves against fraud, and if that was proved they were protected. The first plea was that the plaintiff had no interest, but his lordship thought he had, unless the jury should think that the post-obit bond was void. With respect to the plaintiff, his lordship said he did not think he made a reepeotaele figure in court, or that he was above suspicion. He had become in solvent, and had paid nobody except hie creditors on the Stock-Exchange, which was necessary to his re-admission. Still, unless the charge of fraud was made out, he was entitled to a verdict. As to the insanity, his lordship did not think it was shown that that was known to the plaintiff. It would be for the jury to say, upon the evidence, whether the plaintiff knew the representation made to the company to be false. If so, it must be either on the ground that he conspired with Brade to deceive the company, or, know ing that-tbeinteraparata habits continued, he represented that ha ' (Mr. Joddrell) was reformed. His lordabip expressed his opinion rather in favour of the plaintiff, but added that the question was entirely for the jury, and they would give no weight to his (Lord Campbell's) opinion unless they agreed i❑ it. The jury retired to consider their verdict. On their return into court, after an absence of 40 minutes, the jury found their verdict fur the plaintiff, as the plea of fraud had not been sufficiently proved. POLICE INT ELLIGENO g.—June 16. MANSION-HOUSE.—CHARCi& OP FORGERY.—E. C. .Ryland was brought before the Lord Mayor fur re examination, upon the charge of having forged a cheque for 525/. upon the firm of Masterinan and Co. The prisoner was remanded for a week. CLERBEN WELL. THE PERAMBULATOR Nui• SINCE.—An elderly gentleman, of apparently a rather excitable character, applied to Mr. Corrie under the fill. lowing circumstances :—The applicant said: I wish to know, Sir, whether I shall be justified in giving the parties I meet with perambulators into custody. They are a great nuisance, and it is only a few days since that my wife, while walking in Islington, had her dress torn. The nuisance is very great, and every day is on the increase. Mr. Corrie said the applicant had better go to the station and see the inspector on duty there. Wtth re gard to the tearing of the lady's dress, he should advise him to obtain the name and address of the party, and summon her to the County Court for the damage. He thought the pavements were pretty wide in Islington, and that it was for the benefit of the children's health that they should get out into the air. Applicant—Well, I don't know that. When I had young children, and there were six of them, I used, at least my wife used, to keep them in the drawing-room, or let them go out at the back of the house. It was here stated in court that the matter had been brought before the vestry. Applicant—Yes, I am aware of that, having made in quiries at the office of Mr. Leyton, the Vestry clerk, and I understand that that body has determined not to interfere, they all being " family men." The applicant, who said he had nothing to occupy his time, and that he was determined to put down the nuisance, thanked his worship and retired. WESTMINSTER.—CAB CASE.-Mr. Jonathan J. Richardson, M.P. for Lisburn, attended at this court to have the magistrate's decision respecting a cab fare. Mr Richardson said that he had hired a cab that morning opposite the Travellers' Club, and was driven to where he was staying, No. 99, Warwick-street, Pim lico. He gave the driver is., when he returned it, and said his fare was Is. 6d. _ _ _ . Herbert Dickson, the cab driver, said there were three people in his cab, and his fare was ls. 6d. Mr. Richardson observed that the third person was a child, only seven years of age. Mr. Arnold told defendant that he knew very well be was riot entitled to charge fur the conveyance of a child under ten years of age. Mr. Richardson remarked, that defendant had not said a word about a third person until that moment, but had demanded is. 6d. for distance. Defendant said he thought he was entitled to it. Mr. Arnold examined the books of fares published under the authority of the Comnii , =sioners of Police, and wished that the public, for their own sakes, and in jus tice to those drivers who went upon the ranks for hire, would take their cabs from one of the appointed stan d ing places, instead of hiring me❑ who were plying about the streets, because, in the event of any dh,pute, it was impossible to ascertain the distance accurately when men were so hired, the whole of the fares being measured from the regularly appointed places. As the distance was tolerably close Mr. Arnold only fined defendant ss. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—SERIOUS ASSAULT. —Henry Wells iwas brought up for final examination, charged with breaking the leg of Thomas Hutchins. The complainant, who has been under medical treat ment for some weeks past, said, on Saturday night, the 13th May, ho was out delivering parcels for his employ ers, when feeling thirsty he went into a public-house in Clipstone-street, to have a glass of ale. He was accom panied by an acquaintance, and while drinking their ale they were accosted by the prisoner and his companions. Being desirous to avoid conversation with the party, be and his friend left the house. They were followed by the prisoner and his companionP, one of whom demanded BJ. of him for ale. He refused to comply with the de mand, upon which the prisoner butted at him violently with his head, threw him down, and broke his leg. His belief was that the prisoner and party were after his parcels. Mr. Beadon, taking into consideration that the pri soner had undergone nearly a month's imprisonment, inflicted a fine of 2/ , or two months' imprisonment. HAMMERSMITH. ROBBIIRT AT SIR JAMES SOUTH'S.—T :to vonths, named Edward Collins and John, Moreiley, a!ias TVilliams, were charged before Mr. log ham with committing a robbery at Sir James South's, the Astronomer Royal, of Camden-hill, Kensington. Mr. Ingham committed the prisoners for trial. THAMES.—STABBING.—John ogrelo, a tall Swedish sailor, about 20 years of age, was brought up nn remand befure Mr. Sella, charged- with cutting and wounding Dennis Cleary and Patrick Murphy, Irish labourers, and a woman, name unknown. After some proceedings, Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial. HORRIBLE DEATH, BY SUFFOCATION, OF TWO MEN AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, Monday.—On Friday afternoon, about six o'clock, a man named John Jones was engaged in making a branch sewer, for the purpose of draining a cesspool at Thirtyfour•court, Upper Mann-street, Tox teth Park, Liverpool, assisted by a person named Thos. Guy. Jones broke a hole through the midden wall, for the purpose of forming a connection with the sewer, when he was overpowered by the effluvium, and fell in the drain with his face in the filthy liquid. Guy jumped to render him assistance, and instantly shared a similar fate ; when another man, named John Watson, also went to the rescue, but was in a moment overpowered. A fourth man, Edward Williams, next jumped into the pool to the relief of those already emerged in the life destroying drain, and would also have succumbed to the virulence of the noxious gas had not timely aid ar , rived. When lifted out of the drain the four unfortunate men presented a horrible appearance, Jones and Guy being quite dead, and Watson and Williams utterly unconscious, but after restoratives were applied, at the Southern Hope, they gradually recovered. At the inquest held at Liverpool on Saturday it was stated that, after the accident, five feet deep of nightsoil was found in the midden, and that it had not been cleaned out efficiently for four years. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned, th• ' coroner promising to bring the praiseworthy conduct of the two sick men before the authorities. MODERN SOCIETY IN ROME.—It is amusing to observe the denunciations of Roman Catholic writers against this novel. They have quickly discovered that although the author is, as we believe, a Catholic, he exposes the abuses of the Roman religious and political government with an unsparing hand. There is not a word of con troversial argument in the three volumes, but the anec dotes of Roman society, and the revelations given of the political state of the country, doubtless make the work as obnoxious to the advocates of existing abuses as it is en tertaining and instructive to those who would restore Italy to its plaoe among the nations. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills for Bad Legs. No remedy is equal to them.—Mrs. Wright, of the Deanery House, Penkridge, Staffordshire, suffered for a period of five years with bad legs, and had the best medical advice without obtaieing any relief. At last she was induced to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and after persevering with them for au inconsiderable time a perfect cure was effected ; and since that two years have elapsed without any return of the complaint, and Mrs. Wright is enjoying the very best of health.—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world ; at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London, and at $O, Maiden lane, New York ; by A. Stamps, Constantinople; A. Guidicy, Smyrna; and E. I Muir, Malta IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Lord ST. LEONARDS presented petitions from Cambridge, and other places, in favour of liberation of prisoners confined for debt, and also for a consolidation of the bankruptcy law. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject was one of some difficulty. He had but little compassion for those prisoners who were confined for debt ; they could easily obtain their discharge by handing over their property to the officers authorised to receive it. As to those per sons who had no property, if thry- would only take the trouble to comply with certain provisions of the present act they could obtain their discharge. The great difficulty was to deal with persons who refused to disclose where their property was secreted. He had known a case in which a man had remained in prison for 40 years because he would not tell where his pro perty was situated. Lord ST. LEONARDS said there was a class of persons who ought to be turned out of prison and not allowed to indulge in certain fancies. THE MILITIA. In reply to the Puke of LEEDS, Lord PANMURE said that when the militia were embodied they were placed under the orders of the Com mander in-Chief in precisely the same manner as other regiments of the line. In the several districts in which they were quartered they were to be inspected by the general officers commanding in the particular district ab certain periods of the year. He apprehended that there might be some regiments of milit a that had escaped such inspection, but he was happy to say most of them had been inspected. He was plea-ed to hear that the general report of the Commander-in-Chief did not find any fault with them, but on the contrary expressed graat satisfaction that so efficient a body had been raised in so short. a time. REFORMATORY AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL. Lord RAYENSWORT}J moved the committal of this bill.

The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time on a future day :—Denny Junction Railway, Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway, and the Scottish Central Railway. The report on the Forest of Dean Central Railway Bill, with amendments, was agreed to. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for the house going into committee eel this bill, Mr. M'MAHON said that the house ought not to go into committee on this bill in the absence of Mr. Brady, who had given notice that the house shouldgo into com mittee on this bill that day six months. The hon. mem ber contended that the state of Ireland did not warrant the enactment of this measure, which was a re-enact reent of the Crime and Outrage Act. He moved the committal of the bill that day six vaonths. Sir G. GREY said the present bill did not propose the re enactment of the Crime and Outrage Act. The objectionable clauses to that act which were thought unnecessary to the preservation of the peace in Ireland were omitted from this bill. He supported the motion for the house going ino committee on this bill. After some remarks from Col. Greville, Mr. De Tare, Lord Bernard, Col. Dunne, Mr. Napier, Mr. J. Butt, and Mr. Maguire, The amendment was negatived without a division, and the House went into committee on the bill. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, . Mr. GEORGE proposed certain amendments, and complained of the manner in which the measure had been introduced and of the working of those clauses which made it difficult for hon. members to ascertain how much of the Crime and Outrage Bill it was proposed to re•enact. He bad no objection to the re-enactment of the clauses referring to the proclamation of disturbed districts, the licensing of arms, and the issue of warrants for that purpose ; but ke objected to the reenactment of the 16tb, 17th, 18th, 19th,- and 20th clauses of the Crime and Outrage Act, from the peaceable state of Ireland not requiring such stringent clauses to be introduced into this measure. The Government ought to adopt one •f two courses— either pass the Crime and Outrage Act as such, or if it be necessary to gild that bitter pill by giving it another name, that the clauses of the former act should be intro duced fully into this bill, that magistrates, when called on to act under it, may really know its provisions. He also moved that the bill should be limited to two years' operation. Mr. HORSMAN said the clauses now proposed to be submitted were is accordance with the former preamble of the bill, but as that had been altered and did not state that crime and outrage were now prevalent in Ireland, it was necessary to omit the clauses referring to it. No doubt Ireland generally was in as peaceable a state as England, but it should be borne in mind that a species of crime existed in Ireland which was unknown in Eng land, that made it necessary precautionary measures should be adopted. All the Government asked was for the house to give the Lord-Lieutenant exceptional powers to be able to act in places where there was reason to believe such crimes as he had alluded to would be perpetrated. Mr. M'MAHON supported the omission of the clauses referred to. . Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN objected to the retention o the 16th clause of the Crime and Outrage Bill. That clause bad been in existence for 10 years, but no prose cution had taken place under it. Many of the other clauses asked to be retained were unnecessary. Mr. GEORGE declined dividing the committee on his amendment. After some remarks from Mr. Napier, the Attorney- General for Ireland, Col. Dunne, Col. Greville, and Mr. I. Butt, the amendmarit was withdrawn, and on the ques tion that the clause be agratd to, a long discussion took place between the Government and the Irish members relative to the re-enacted clauses of the Crime and Out rage Bill being fully set forth in the present !measure for the convenience of those who would have to carry out its provisions, and a pledge was given by the Irish mem bers that if the suggestions were adopted, and the opera tion of the act limited to one year instead of five years, no further opposition would be offered by them to the bill. The Attorney-General for Ireland declined reply ing to the offer, on which Mr. I. BUTT moved the omission of clause 2. Mr. HORsNIAN, the Secretary for Ireland, said the proposition to consider the limitation of the operation of the act was when the clause referring to it came be fore the committee. If ho acceded to the request male by Irish members, there would not be time to pass the measure this session. Col. GREVILLE complained that the Government were not treating the committee with proper respect in declining to give an answer to the suggestion made by Irish members. Several Irish members addressed the committee, dis approving of the silence of the Government on the sug gestions made. Mr. M'CANN said he would readily leave this ques tion to the decision of the committee, but the difficulty he felt was how to deal with those members who would rush from the lobbies and other parts of the building into the house when the bell rang for a division—(laughter) — and who had not heard one word of the discussion, con sequently were ignorant of the feeling of those who had discussed the merits of the clause. (Hear, hear.) The committee then divided, and the numbers were— For the clause. Against it 53 Majority —4s The clause was then agreed to. On clause 3. Colonel DUNNE protested against the conduct o those members who spoke in committee against the bill, but in the division voted for the Government. (Hear.) The clause was ultimately agreed to, with verbal amendments. On clause 4, limiting the operation of the bill to five years, Mr. I. BUTT moved the limitation should be " two years from the passing of the bill." POSTAGE LABELS. Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chanoellor of tboNv . chequer whether, on the termination of the preainft: agreement with Messrs. Bacon and Petch, for print-is and gumming the postage labels, it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to give public notice calling for tenders of contract for printing and gumming_ the same, or to renew the arrangement heretofore made. with Messrs. Bacon and Botch. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was the intention of the Government to renew the-oon• tract, arid instructions to that effect had been given. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS BILL. Mr. WISE asked the President of thetOird ofilealtb, whether it is the intention of her Msjesty's Government to proceed with the M,dical Practitioners Bili as amended by the selezt committee, during the present session ?

It was mentioned on Thursday that some of the bona, brought by the last West India steamer, purporting to be filled with gold, were found to contain only lead %BA shot. The amount of the fraud was about 0,0001. and, the following letter from the Consul of New Grenatie t _ . gives the details of the case, and announces the cap,* of the delinquents and the recovery of a large portion QC the treasury : " Sir,—With reference to the robbery of gold-in New Grenada, I beg to inform you that the robbery was planned and executed in Medellin, and not in earths gena. The delinquents are three persons, one of whom is an official in the post-office in Medellin, to which esta blishment all treasure remittances are delivered for transit by the Government to the coast, and it was dis covered by means of another clerk in the office, whore the thieves were not able to bribe to silence. Upon Wit person giving information to one of the persona who bad sent specie, a meeting of the principal merchants in Me dellin was immediately held, and the Governor of the city applied to, who caused two of the parties implicated to be arrested, and found in the garde* of the bowie of one 701 b. weight of gold, and in that of the other 831 b. The other person had not been found when the post left, but there was great reason to hope that 118 would imoli be detected, and the remaining portion of the gold reoe vered. The discovery was made at midnight, and the thieves captured and gold received within six hou.rer.; "As this information is derived from the letter of my correspondents in Medellin, I have thought it might be interesting to lay it before you. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, " Per A. MONTOYA, Vice-Consul, " Pro J. MONTOYA ' Consul. "Consulate of New Granada, June 14." DIPLOM &TIC PRECEDIMR.---Mr. W. Brown.
