Yi ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquiry for discount accommodation this morning has not been so active as during the few preceding days, and an easier tone is therefore now perceptible. The rates are 31, 4 pAr cent. fur the negotiation of the best commercial bills. In the foreign exchinges yesterday afternoon there was no change of importance. There was a further influx of £30,000 in bar gold at the Bank yesterday. The arrival of specie anwinced to-day comprise £43,220 by the America from New York, and £1,198 by the Ripon from Alexandria. A❑ important undertaking is the London Cocoa nut Fibre Company, recently brought before the notice of the investing classes. It purposes the purchase of the letters patent for the exclusive manufacture, according to Mr. Davies' invention, of articles from the fibre of the cocoa-nut. It is averred that not only does the unique maipuiative process of the patent impart to the fabric a better pile than the old mode, bat also that its durability is greater and its eost considerably reduced. The thief articles manufactured from the fabric are mats and other descriptions or floor-cloths, and it is very Correctly presumed that their greater cheapness will materially extend the now increasing demand for domestic and other uses. The capital required for purchasing the patent, looms, and plant, and for - working the business nn a large scale, is £20,000, to be raised by El shares. Another large hotel is to be erected by the Rich mond-hill Hotel Corrpany, which has just been announced with a nominal capital of £lOO,OOO, the first issue consisting of 5,000 shares of £lO each. The directors have secured the property known as the Ashburnham Lodge, upon which site they in tend to erect the new establishment. Reference is made in the prospectus to the large profits de rivable from this description of enterprise, and to the attractions Richmond affords for the permanent and temporary residence of Londoners and others. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. is to be paid on the shares until the opening of the hotel. Two o'CLocK. At Paris his morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent.

Very little alteration is apparent to-day in the market for the English Funds, Consols being 94 for transfer, and 921. 1 for the account. The trans actions have been very circumscribed.

SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. LEMBERG, JULY 1, 1.5 P.M. The insurgent leader Wysocki, at the bead of 1,400 infantry and 1,()00 cavalry, crossed the Rua hi-in frontier, near R4dziwilow, and occupied that place last night. At other places on the frontier the insurgents were prevented from crossing. CRACOW, JULY 1. Archbishop Feiirski has beep banished to Jaras aw. Major Krasinsid, the Bishop of Vilna, was sent to Dunaburg, and afterwards to Perme. A desperate engagement between the insurgents and the Russians took place on the 26th ult., at Pedbotze, in the Palatinate of Kalisch. An engagement also took place on the 23d in Pordachia. The Russians sustained considerable losses i❑ en engavement on the 241 h at Kolo. FASHIONS FOR JULY, (From Le I'ollee.) As the season advances, uta, which has hitherto reigned I with reference to "La Mode," has given place to certainty; and we can row speak with confidence of the various styles, both in material and make. The elegance consists more than ever in the uniformity of toilettes. Robe, bonnet, parasol, and even boots, mnet be of the same colour. We do not certainly approve of the har lequin dresses sometimes to be seen, but this season there is, we think, an abuse in a contrary direction; and these cos turues, so exactly of the same shade, have more the appear ance of a uniform than an elegant toilette. However, the lady of taste and fashion has the happy intuition of wearing such a toilette at the right time and in the right place. White alpacas and light-coloured mohairs are very fashion able. The robe Mexicaine, a kind of satin gauzy mrterial ; the golden- brown taffetas, striped with black, and the ca mails, are also much in demand. Scotch plaids of two shades, are made in al! the new materials. Muslins, organ dis, and all the light materials, are only waiting the advent of settled weather to appear in all their beautiful and grace ful designs. Foulards still continue in favour for walking dresses ; but the taffetas are more usually worn for visiting. White poil de chevre, trimmed wi h coloured ribbons, forms a veil , pretty and fresh-looking toilette. Summer dresses, in white muslin, printed muslin or pat terned organdis, are made with high, full bodies, or low bodies cut square, with which must be worn a pelerine, or a fichu Marie-Antoinette of the same material. The alpacas are reserved for morning dress. The Mexicaine is trimmed with narrow ruches of black taffetas and guipures, and is suitable for walking-dress. The tNffetas of which we have spoken are not the foulards for merly seen, but a splendid material, as strong and durable as the finest taffetas gros grain. _ _ _ Flounces are much worn. They are narrow, and placed in twos or threes, never reaching higher than the knee. As it is still the fashion to raise the skirt, it is indispensable that the petticoat should also have a narrow flounce. Barege robes, in small designs, are trimmed with three narrow flounces, edged with ribbon. The moire antique is still worn on cold days. This robe is made with five narrow fluted frills and a flounce of lace, with a deep tan-like train. Lace is much employed as trimmings to dresses of taffetas, as well as upon shawls and mantles. Rotondes, forming shawls in front, are trimmed with ara besq•i s of braid and black chenille, and border, d with two, deep flounces of lace, separated by ruches Jt pinked taffeta put on with a narrow band of pa,sementerie, worked with jet beads. - - Many muslin dresses, with printed patterns, have the skirts made plain. Some are spotted with light blue or pink dots, and bands of the same colour in zigzags at the bottom, imitating ribbon or guipare. This style of muslin is quite new, and only made in the Lest qualities. Doubtless thi, light and elegant design will r,Tnain in fashion all thi, season. Those spotted with azalias, with a wreath mount ing in palms, have a charming al pearance. We also see foulards, with groups 01 azalias and grey foliage at equal distances. On turning to the subject of bonnets, we are informed that their forms have completely changed since last summer, Tb-y are generally very small, but truly gracetul. The woJels vary in trimming. Feathers are much worn. The natural leathers, placed in bunches, are in good taste, and suit any toilettes. Hata may be chosen according to taste, but especial re gard should be paid to what is becoming to the wearer There is the incroyable, the Frondeur, and the Moissoneur The first is exceedit gly elegant, comp sed of Italian straw. The front has a double coque of maroon velvet, and two feathers; one of the same shade as the velvet, the other whi e, placed rather high on the crown. The second is very s,ylish, made of black straw, with a high and pointed crown; broad edges, turned up on one side only. The edge is lined with red velvet ; and in front, and rather on the flat side of the edge, are four large nses, encircled in black lace. We advise brunettes to adopt this style, The moissoneur is rather less stylish, but is very graceful and young. The crown is rather lower, and the edges are flat. A scarf of lace or fringed silk tied behind. The front is trimmed with a bouquet of flowers or a small bird. Round hats are younger and more fanciful than the bonnet. _ _ The postilion hat is destined for the country. Its form is a slight modification of the man's hat. The prettiest is of grey straw, edged with velvet to match, with a bow of the same fastening; a led feather in front, and a long grey one turning round the cLoi,vn and slightly raised at the edge. Caps are generally made on the resille form with sof , crowns. Flowers and ribbon are employed as ornaments for tha hair. - - • Canenous and pelerines of embroidered muslin and waist coats of white quilting or embroidered silk in bright colours with Venetian or Bernoise bands, are much in demand. Under-sleeves, with deep cuffs, wider at the top than at the bottom, are quite the fashion, ss are also the plain or quilting collars, trimmed with Valenciennes lace for half toilette. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. A very small supply of English wheat was rece'ved fresh up to this morning's market. The favourable advices a hand from all parts of England respecting the crops, pro duccd a heavy market both for red and white pro• duce, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Ther e was a good show of foreign wheat on the stands. Buyers operated cautiously in all descriptions, and where sales were pressed, is per quarter less money was accepted, Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at about previous rates. The supply of barley on show was very moderate. Both grinding and distilling qualities were in steady request, at run quotations. Malt changed hands slovily, on former terms. The market was well supplied with oats. Good and fine qualities moved off steadi►y, at full prices ; but inferior parcels cold heavily, at Monday's currency. The supply of beaus and peas was smr,ll, and both articles supported previous qu lations. In flow., sales progressed slowly, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday.

The prisoner, while in a state of intoxication, went into Mr. Bevan's house and created a great disturbance, and refused to leave when desired to do so, at the same time making use of a most fearful expres-ion towards Mr. B :van. Mr. Bevan then put the pris ,ner out of th hnuse, and while doing so the prislmer tore Mr. Bevan's shirt trout his back. The prisoner then sat on the kerb, took off his boot, and with it deliberately broke a window and a bottle of snruce, doing damage to the extent of £3. Police-constable 166 C then went up and took the prisoner into custody for the wiltul damage. when he resisted going to the station, and on Sergeant Cole going to the assistance of the constable the prisoner kicks d him two or three timrs in a delicate part, causing him intense pain. With great difficulty the prisoner, who behaved in the most violent manner, was got to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month for the wilful damage, and 21 days for the assault on the sor- geant. Prisoner is known to the police as the constant companion of a ticket•of-leave man. ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS --John Taylor, cabinetmaker, and Emma Taylor, believed to be his wife, were ch-rged be'ore Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a bed, two bloskets, two pillows, and otber articles, the property of their landlord, Mr. Withers, of 11, Booth-place, Wells- street. The female prisoner was seen leaving the house with a bundle, and this led to the discovery that the prisoner had taken away a large quantity of things. Sergeant Kay, 24 C, who took the prisoner into custody, said that the pawnbrokers with whom the articles were pledged, were net in attendance ; and Mr. T)rwhitt re manded the prisoners for a few days. 1%1 ARY EBON E. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WOMAN BY THROWING HER OUT 0? WINDOW —John Hillier, a smith, _9, Car lisle street, Lisson•grove, was charged with the following outrageous conduct towards a tenant of his. Charlotte Burden said—l live on the firs , floor from room No. 30, Little Carlisle-street. Last evening t was sitting in my room having t• a, and a friend with me, when Hillier, who is my landlord, came in and demanded bie rnt I told him as it was not due till to-day (Wednesday) I did not !eel d.sposed to pay him. He then said, "If you don't go out of the do tr you shall go out of the window " I was in the act of cutting some brt ad and butter, when he seized the knife from me and cut me with it on the back of my hand. It was bound up. After this he took halt the sash out of the window, and taking me by the waist. forced me through the owning, my head and back hanging over into the street. He still kept pushing me out; when my friend caught h•.ld of my lege, and held me as I was hanging head downwards. I don't remember anything more. . Ma y Axne Imbers, living opposite to prosecutrix, bear ing a noise, looked up, and saw her (prosecutrix) hanging head downwards. She called the police. Harriett Osborne said she was having tea wi h prose cut, ix, when prisoner came in and threw her out of the win dow, and had she not held her, she must have fallen upon the pavement. Charles rufrey, 215 D, said at half-past 8 last night. I was called to Carlisle-street, and saw he! hanging out of window. Myself and several mole stood undeineith to catch her iu case she fell. When she was•rescued she was quite insensible and black in the face. The trisoner had been drinking but knew well what he was dim - . Mr. Mansfield said that prisoner had as nearly as possi ble committed murder, but fortunately as you have not in flicted any very serious iujury upon the young woman, 1 shall convict you Under the Aggravated Assaults Acts, in a penal y of £2O or six months imprisonment. 1 also re quire you to enter in your own recognisance in the . sum of LW, and find two sureties in £2O each, to keep the peace for a further term of six months. THAMES. WILD SPORTS IN THE EAST. -Elisabeth Macarthy, strapping Irish woman, of the class called unfortunate, was brought Wine Mr. Woolrych charged with biting off and swallo , ing a pi,rtion of the index finger co the left hand 01 her countrywoman, Ann Donnelly, the wife of Michael Donnelly, a labourer. The parties live in a very notorious den called Palmer's- Folly, itatcliff highway, where numerous robberies and outrages on sailors hhve been committed. The two women quarrelled last night, and from words they got to blows, and pummeled each other unmercifully. All Palmer's fully and Perseverance-place sent forth their degraded and criminal inmates to w►tness this revolting sight. The women fought like furies, and the prisoner—the strongest of the two—got the other down, scracthed her face with her nails, pulled the hair from her head, and uit off the end of her finger. The complainant appeared in a mutilated condition ; kel face was torn, her eyes blackened, and her lett hand was bandaged. • Mr. John Brown Ross, physician and surgeon, stat d that he dressed the wounds of the prosecutrix. The upper part of one of her fingers was bitten off. He had been trying to get the Eisen to unite over the bone for the pur pose of avoiding the necessity of amputaton of the finger tower down, and he hoped to succeed, The woman was not out of danger: Mr. Woolrych said this was a very shocking care. He committed the prisoner for trial. MORE CANNIBALIS3I.—Edward Rich, a black man, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stabbing Edward Dixon on the head, at the Eastern Halt public -house, at the junc ion of the East and West India Dock roads, LimFhouse, and with afterwards assaulting John Jackson in the Poplar station-house, and biting off a portion of his nose. The prisoner, a perfect savage, had dropped some half pence he received in change at the bar of the tastern Mali, and, believing that the people there assembled were about picking up his halfpence, he struck out at the tnala Dann, who was next to him, and struck him three times on the head. Dixon's hat fell off, and while he was stooping to pick it up, the prisoner struck him on the head tvith a large "jack knife.' The fellow was secured, and conveyed to the station-house. Jackson accompanied Dixon to the station house, and white there the prisoner suddenly at tacked him, and bit off a portion of his nose, Mr. Matthew Brownfield, surgeon, stated that he at tended the wounded man. There was a wound on Dixon's scalp an inch and a half long, and penetrating to the bone. The wound Divided a branch of the ti temporal artery, anti the hemorrhage was excessive. The blow was given with great force. After attending to Dixon he waited on Jack son, a portion of whose nose on the left side was gone. It was bitten off. - William Sorrell, 410 K, a police constable, produced the portion of the man's nose, which he found on the floor of the station house. He also produced a large olasp lath e , which be found on the prisoner. Mr. Woolrych orenattkd the prisoner for trial. - The wounded men belong to tLe Naval lieserve, and were at drill on 6aturday, They have necessarily been absent , ever since.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT 110 USE OF COMMONS.—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at quarter past 12. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (No. 1) Sir MORTON PE 10 moved " that the order for the second reading on Monday next be read and discharged, and that the bill be read a second time to-morrow." He complained that the lion member for Safford (Alderman Sydney) yesterday, acting for the City of London, took a step with respect to this bill without communicating with the agents, utterly opposed to the ordinary practise of the house, and which he was quite justified in stigmatising as more iike the piactises of sharp barristers at the Old Bailey than worthy of a member of that house, to which, he apprehende.t, an apology was due. The course he had adopted in no way affected the viaduct over Ludgate-hill. Mr. Alderman SYDNEY said he took the step he did as an indrpeLdent member. He desired to prevent the dis figuration of the town. If, however, the parties would per mit tne city authorities to appear against the bill in com mittee, he would support the rescinding of his motion of yesterday, Mr. MASSEY intimated that on Monday he would ptopo,e the standing orders be suspended, so that the bill could be proceeded with in the ordinary way, and without classification. After some discussion the motion was withdrawn on this understanding. WEIGHTS AND MEAbURES BILL. Mr. EWART, in moving the seco..4 reading of this bill, entered at some length into its purpose. The objt et ugat to be attained by tie b.ll was the intro , uction into this country of the decimal and metrical system of 'weights and m satires, woich had long worked very sue eessiully in France and several tit the continental countries. the system would facilitate trade, and be tumid must use: tut in keeping the national accounts and in the coliectiun of the revenue. The plan, it adopted, would have to be ac cuulpmied by a decimal system ut coinage air. BA INES seconded the ru ,, tion. Mr. HENLEY opp,ised the bill, because its inconveni ences Would tar outweigh its conveniences. LOtAiE dwelt upon the anomalies in the present system of weights anti measures, especially upon the absurd dill rends between troy and avoireupuis weight, and the wine bottles of the con , ineut, especially of Germany. He should vote for the second reading, because it wuuid be a step in the right direction, but should be glad to see the sulject referred to a select committee so tha_ it might be tnoroughly investigated. Mr. P. URQUHART supported the bill. The various weights and measures throughout the country WE'LL) very cora:sing, and to bring them all into unitormil was its perativeiy demanded. ibe introdu,mon of the new system into he Gruvernmeut establishments would rave .LAti,ooo a year, which would enable the Government to reduce the income tax hal►penny in the pound. Mr. ADDER,I, EY supported the bill. The time h d arrived when a new and common sense system ought to be edop•ed, which would lead to an enormous augmentation ol the wealth of the country . Mr. BAINEz.7 strongly supported the bill, and quoted the opinions of the various Coambers of Cutranetce inte rested in the home and foreign trane in its favour. lie acid that it would not be difLult to introduce the system tutu our schoels. Sir M. k A.U.QUIIAIt considered that this bill would work well, it end 'wed wits a permissive character, so that the people light become gradua;ly used t, it. He appre h,nued that there was no hope of the bill being passed In he present session ; he trusted, however, his hon. friend wo.lid re introduce it next year, and he was satisfied that so xcelleut a measure wou.d meet with very liberal sup • port. Mr. IIUBI3ARD denied that the manifold ben , fits ind sated had Bpi ueg out of the decimal system, and neither would its adoption in the future. He was in favour ot leaving things as they were. Mr. COBDEN was in favour of the decimal system. All nlighteneu men, except perhaps Lord Overstone, were in favour ot the change. The whin sses examined before the committee last year, of which he was a member, were over whelming in its tavuut —some of them, Professor de Morgan among the number, testifying that its adoption would save milt the time of boys at school, as tar as arithmetic was concerned. When engaged in Pails during a period of six months on the international treaty his time was greatly occupied in changing the description of prices from one language to the other, and he confessed that h e t e l t h umi l iated at the dislocated, incoherent, and inconsistent nature of the English syat. in as contrasted with he logical, symmetrical and consistent plan adopted in France. Th e y were all agreed ha,. the system ot weigh‘s and rneasu, es ought to be atteted, and as it was lull ut absurd anomalies and illogical disagreements, no time should be lost in introducing an amended system like the oae proposed. A new system must, however, include a decimal sy stem of coinage. There were difficulties in the .ransition ut course, but the B. and of Trade could easily overcome that diificul.y. A facile list of equivalents would easily be understood. He appealed to his right hun. friend the Preside ot ot the Board of Trade tMr. M. Gibson) to re solutely take the mater in hand. Mr. IeERRAND held that if the measure was to be corn pulsory, it ought to be compensatory also. Small shop keepers and others ought to be reimbursed the value of their weights. Sir. M. GIBSON had not a word to say against the me trical system, but he feared that a compulsory measure, with a cumbination of new names for old ones, would nut at once be very acceptable. The committee which sat on ,he subject reported to this effect. He feared the public was not prepared for so sweeping a chatge as the one suggested. The avoirdupois pound and the standard and were the only le . gal measures; all oth e rs were illegal,and penalties Could be reduv, red by a common informer. He could not eousent to a compulsory measure, and advised he hon. member to withdraw it and introduceapermisaive. bill. It took Portugal ten years to pione-r the system,. and now they were about to make it compulsory, but it' we ware expected to act differently in this cottutry, all he could say was that he feared it would be requisite to call out the volunteers to • Word° It, Me. BAZLEY supported the bill. He said the decimal syst m was then uses m the customs and excise so as to arriVe ut gensral quantities. Mr. RUE is U K hoped the Government would consent to the second reaoiug. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECATER said the Government motile otlly delude the house it they ventured to give any encouragement to a compulsory measure. Mr. HODGSON asked the bon inetniser (Mt. EWart) it he would ectusent, in committee, to omit the compulsory powers soit;ht r Mr. J. B. Smut supported the bill, as also did Colonel SYKES. EWART would withdraw the bill, if the Govern ment would tKeilitaie it in the schools and eisewnere. Mr. IL Gltsz...,ON could not, off hand, give any pledge . of the kind. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was a mistake to speak of a compulsory clause— the bill was compulsory throughout. The house divided, when there appeared— . - --For the secon d reading llO Against it 5 —35 •Majority ..... The remit elicited much cheering from the supp or t e rs of the bill.

THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT !—Two persons shalt be of the same height, and yet one shall be considered much taller than the other ; this may be the rea son why statues are often described as not being so many feet, but so many heads high ; the size of the head in either will generally govern the rest of the body, and the two sub jects will be distinguished less by height than by tall of short proportions ; upon the same principle, abort or long faces command short or long limbs, end it may be compara tively said of each of them—Oey may be fair specimens of elegance and plumpness, of grace or of good condition. It is no contradietion to assert that a long and short face may be lineally of the same length. To unravel this, take two profiles of each, let the preject.ng and undulating lines form e traced as In a map, then let each be elongated so as to two straight lines, and they will be found to measure the same. The fact is, that the lines of a short face will make up in projection what they lose in length, and the lines of a long face will make up in length what they lose in projehc tion. In like manner a abort upper lip will not shorten tbe lower part of the face, as the deficiency a larger space of chin ; the same may apply to a high yield head, to which some one or other of the features will be pre. may be madehufperey. the necessary room, that the uniform length Ty .0 Na served.—From Article on " Comparative Beau g" i tional Magazine. d from different parts last few days are being receive Accounts of accidents &Om lightning...during the da A y t s bAatcskacoceuPlere both struck B bees son France.owfere two orm, when struck by the electric they w ere the son escaped with • fluid.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said the. other evening when he stated that General Mouravi.ff had issued an order to the effect that ladies appeari g in n mourning in the streets of Poland should be flogged, the noble earl, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, wai of opinion that the statement was wholly untrue. Since that that time he (Earl of Shaftesbury) had heard that the exact terms of the order were, that if ladies appeared in mourn ing after the publication of the general ord, r, they were to be fined in va ious sums ranging from between 25 to 100 roubles, and in the event of their not plying the fine they were to be subjected to the punishment of the knout. The consequence of the order had been a rising at `Vilna; and be wished to ask the noble earl opposite whether he had now received any information confirming such a report. Earl RUSSELL said h- had received a communication from her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg in answer to an inquiry which he had made, and it only went the length of saying that, in the event of ladies appearing in mourning after the issue of the order, they would incur the penalty of a fine. Nothing was said about subjecting them to the inhuman b ,rbarity of the knout. AMERICA. In answer to a question from Lord STRATHEDEN, Earl RUSSELL said that about an hour before .he meeting of the house the French Ambassa dor had called on him at the Foreign Office, and said that he had heard it very generally rumoured that he had received orders to make a communication to her Ma jesty's Government relative to America. The French Am bassador then informed him that he had no orders to make ny proposition from the Emperor of the French such as bad been reported ; but the Emperor was desirous of acting in concert with the British Government to bring about a cessation of hostilities in America.

The Inclosure (No. 2) Bill was read a third time and passed. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. The Earl of DERBY said that in moving for a copy of ;he proclamation issued by Sir Henry Storks, for the an nexation otthe lonian Islands to Greece, it was not his in tention to enter at any length into the question of the policy which had dictated the annexation. He sheuld merely take that opportunity of expressing his disapproval of that poliey, and his dissent from the assertion made by the noble viscount at the head ot the Government, in ano ther place, that as they were making a cession of that which was not part of the territories of the Crown, the -.ubject was not a fit cne for discussion in Parliament. He (the Earl of Derby) maintained, on the contrary, that every :tot of a responsible Minister was a fit subject for discussion in Parliament. (Hear.) He had a very strong opinion as to the inexpediency of the surrender of the protectorate, which would be eminently disadvantageous to the lonian Islands themselves, and not conducive to the interests either of this country or of Europe. Her Majesty's Govern ment ha 1 exhibite'l a rather romantic generosity on the subject. Their only thought seemed to be the interests and the gratification of the lonian Isles. They never seemed to think that the interests and advantage of England ought to be consulted. The Powers who were parties to the treaties which established the protectorate all wish that England :hould hold those islands. Surely it was not love merely for the people of the islands and attention to their interests which actuated the plenipotent aries. Other matters en tered into the arrangement, such as the prevention of other powerful maritime states getting possession of Corfu, and the general question of preserving peace and the balance of power in Europe. High naval authorities had stated that the port of Corm was a most important position for Great Britain to hold; and the only change which in his opinion had been effected by steam, was to make the possession of Corfu more than ever important. (Hear, hear.) They were bringing into the kingdom of Greece a restless and aggressive people at a time when they wanted to secure the peaceful condition at d unaggressive character of the new kingdom. The islands themselves would be material suf terers. A restless and dissatisfied portion of the population were opposed to the British protectorate, and anxious for union with Greece, but the thinking people had no such desire. They were too well aware of the advantages which they derived from the protectorate. They had enjoyed a large amount of material prosperity. They had the advantage .f well-regulated institutions, and they had a large and well disciplined force of British soldiers in garrison. It' my portion of the Greek army were to be introduced instead of the British, when soldiers should be withdrawn, he con d Cut help wishing the lotaians joy of the change. (Hear, and a laugh) But, as regarded the European question, the at st great maritime Power that could seize Corfu would certainly do so in the next war that might break out, The noble earl would not surely assert that the vast expenditure which had been made in stret gthening the fortrications of Corfu had been done solely for the benefit and advan tage of the lonians. We had had British interests in view there. (Hear, hear.) Some of the most exalted statesmen of England had declared the importance of the possession of Corfu, and some rather sudden change must have come over the opinions of some even of her Majesty's present Ministers; for the noble duke (New castle) had declared, in a despatch sent out not very long since, and in debates in. that house, that the protec torate should be maintained at all hazards. The noble earl, after the revolution which took place in Glee:saki: October last, had been looking for a King for the Gree ks, and he promised to cede the lonian Islands providedo th e lonians wished, and the Powers that were parties to treaty of 1815 consented. But when the young 71, der 1, William of Denmark was offered the crown, h l tho ugh the puland that the lonian Isles should be added, other Powers had not been asked to consent. a Lie wished to know if the noble earl had taken any pi:Z ion w secure entitled to the lonian the payment of pensions to persons wf • i lly in them for serving her Majesty What was to be done Islands. He wished also to knitrwth vi to be demolished with the works at Corfu? Were they or r ing pow ers r hey were ese lf y theY were to be left B,l ;e , r o s s f o o l r . lett to act as a temptation to war now garrisoned by British troopse. consisted ot to find sold' to the Greek army, it might not understood them. That army he under:no_ rather a strange diers, and 4,000 officers (a hi to g range pro know what portion. He should like alto Was to be done And he trusted that with the guns and stores. Greek loanthe noble earl had provided for the f which had been raised und by in this country. "e of e Greece, the agreement entered into with the new sing Prince William of Den mark, mark, chat the three Powers are to endow him with L 4,000 a year each, in a ddition to his civil list . He would not go lie supposed there wasp no further.use in contending against that which was ten fait accompli. Earl RUSSELL Baia that his noble friend (Lord Pal merston) was perfectly right in • • saying that the assent of parliament was not necessary for the cession of the lonian Islands, which were not part of the dominions or territory belonging to the British Crown. The noble earl seemed to think it very strange that the Powers who were parties to the treaty of Vienna should have any regard to the welfare or h • appiness of the people of the lonian Islands. The British Government was not anxious for the pro tectorate. The Austrian Government would like to have had it. But the Russian and Prussian arguments pre vailed, and Englasid finally undertook it. He did not think it was a very heavy charge that her Majesty's Go vernment should have had a wish to forward the happiness and contentment of the lonians ; and, as to the suddenness of their resolution to give up the protectorate, the noble lord should remember the tact that the revolution in Greece which led to the proposition had been very precipitate. (Hear.) Her Majesty's Government wished to prevent the kingdom of Greece from falling into disorder.' They wished to see it under a strong constitutional monarchy, and they directed all their efforts to effect that end. As to the Prince of Denmark stipulating fcr the cession of the lonian Islands it was only a condition which was likely to be fulfilled. if it were not, then the Prince would not be bound to accept the throne. But the people and the parliament of the lonian Islands had often declared their deliberate desire to be united to Greece, and it appeared to her Majesty's Govern ment to be a very natural wish. lie would not depreciate the value of Corfu as a military station; but he thought that they had too many military foreign stations all over the' world—(hear)—More than the'y might find it convenient to r~~ defend in case of a war. (Hear.) He thought it wouldlbe rather a facility if they had only one great station in the Mediterranean to defend in time of war. When they consi dered the number of the British army which was kept rip in time of peace, it would strike them at once what must be the effect of being obliged to stand off 63,000 or 70,000 men to garrison distant foreign stations the moment a war should break out. (Hear.) Moreover, he did not think it unworthy of this great nation to show that it was not a mere desire of dominion that inspired it, but that it could help in establishing the independence and happiness of others. (Hear.) It was best to make this cession when there was no pressure upon us—to do it yoluntatily. (Hear, hear.) As to consulting the other Powers, the very first thing he did was to inform the representatives of Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia that such a cession was in contemplation. Austria did net like the proposition, but. ebe was not so unreasonable as to set her own opinions in oppo sition to the strong desires and interests of the lonians and of Greece, and the wishes of England and the other Powers. France and liussia most readily agreed. The aff.i.irs of Greece were now happily in the course of settlement. It was not because no actual difficulties had arisen that there had not been danger. The lonian Parliament would be assembled and consulted. The Great Powers would then be asked to consent to the union of the islands with Greece. The debts and engagements would of course be provided for. It would be impossible for her Majesty's Government to abdicate the protectorate until the engagements were pro vided for. The forts, with the guns and stores, would be matters for future arrangement. As to the £4,000 a year to be granted to the King, Sir J. Wyse had made arrange ments at Athe ns , b u t th e ma tt er will of course be submitted to Parliament. £4,000 a year might well be paid for the sake of others so s e u t g t tutgosmo a d k iffi e s c o tt e a a m llo a w tt a e n r, ce an t d or th th e e n d ob iffi le c e u a l r ti l and the case.

He had telegraphed to the Lord High ommissioner, who had re plied by telegraph that no proclamation had been issued, and that chat had taken place would be found in a de spatch which had been sent forward. That despatch had arrived yettere ay, and what had occurred was simply thi s The Greek archbish o p had ordered a " Te Deuin" in the cathedral. Sir H. Storks, fearing the excitable nature of the people, informed the archbishop that he would hold him responsible for anything that might take place. The arch bishop sent back to say that Sir H. Storks, as the represen tative of the Britisn Government, who te - 4 done so much for the lonians, would be joyfully received by them, and he invited the Lord High Commissioner to attend the cathe 'dral. Sir H. Storks could not go under the circumstances, but he sent his aide-de-camp and another officer, who at tended in plain clothes. They were loudly cheered in the streets, loud vices were shouted for the Queen and the Lord High Commissioner; and when—after the "Te Deura"— " God save the Queen" was sung in the church, the entire congregation rose and cheered again and again. (Hear, and a laugh.) That was the whole of what had taken place. As to the allusion made by the noble earl to him, he had Lot changed his opinion on the subject. He had eaid there was not, at the time he spoke and wrote, any intention on the part of the Government to give up the protectorate; bat he himself had for many years been of opinion that we ought to cede the lonian Islands to Greece, and not keep a protec torate which was not liked by the lonians. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said that it was impossible not to admire the sentiments which had actuated the noble earl and inspired the line of conduct which he had pursued with regard to the union of the lonian Islands with Greece. But his (Lord Stratford de ltedcliffe's) experience in that part of the world pre vented him from giving his assent to the course which the noble lord had adopted. He was completely in accord ance with the opinions held by noble lords on the other side of the house upon this question, and he thought that the noble earl (Earl eerby) had rendered great and important service to the public by giving expression to the sound views and opinions which he had just enunciated. (Hear.) He did not think that Greece had shown herself deserving of the favour which had been shown to her. (Hear, hear.) He did not tLink that the junction of the Seven Islands with Greece would be advantageous either to the new kingdom or to themselves. He greatly feared that the loss of the fortifications and harbour of Greece would be severely felt by this country, and he thought that Turkey would be seriously embarrassed by the new arrangement. Lord TAUN TON could not allow the opportunity to pass without expressing his deep gratification that her Ma jesty's Government had finally arranged to get rid of the protectorate of the republic of the Seven Islands. He had long been of opinion that our protectorate was a source of humiliation and shame, a reproach to this country, and he had often said that he trusted no honourable opportunity of relinquishing the protectorate Would be lost. A fair and honourable opportunity had offered when the revolution in Greece and the election of Prince William of Denmark opened up a fresh prospect of peace and prosperity for that interesting country ; and he was rejoiced that it had been accepted by his noble friend (Earl Russell). Atter a few words of explanation from the Marquis of NORMANBY and the Duke of NEWCASTLE, on the subject of the expressions used in one of his despatches by the noble duke, touching the maintenance of the protectorate, The Earl of HAItOWICKE expressed his concurrence in the views of the Earl of Derby. The Earl of DER,BY said that, as he found there was no such document in existence as ,that for the production of which he had moved, he should beg leave to withdraw hia motion. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. JUDGES IN THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Lord CHELMSFORD rose to call the attention of the house to the papers laid upon the table as to the removal of two lonian judges of the Supreme Council of Justice of the lonian Islands; and to put a question to the Secretary of State for the Colonies upon the eubject of the pensions to which persons may have become entitled in those isleciandt; He complained that the papers w hich had been granet Mar the former motion regarding those judges, Sir Geo t r h g e koran and Sir Anastasio Xidian, did not contain ted int a r t i t t i h e e o d u b g y h thet dr two mation which he wanted.

He was acquainted with many gentlemen who were connected with ' the lonian Islands, and they all assured him that a more upright or more honourable man than Sir George Mar korai was not to be found on earth. (Hear, hear.) He had in the former debate stated that he had the greatest sym pathy for these judges, and that he deeply regretted the subject bad been brought before the house. T hat o p inion was strengthened by the renewal of the subject that evening. The debate was then allowed to drop. MILLINERS AND DRESSMAKERS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that an humble address be presented to herMejesty, praying that an inquiry into the physical and moral condition of the milliners and dressmakers be made by the Royal Commission now sitting on the "state of children and young persons in trades and manufactures not regulated by law." Earl GRANVILLE said that on inquiry of his right hon, friend the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment (Sir G. Grey) he found that the commissioa had power already to examine the cases referred to by the noble Earl, and Sir George Grey had accordingly directed the attention of the commissioners to the condition of the dress makers and milliners. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY withdrew his motion. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.
