PER HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack al o'clock. REMUNERATION OF ATTORNEYS. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a bill to amend the law with respect to the remuneration of solicitors and attorneys. He would explain very fully the particulars of the bill in making the motion for the second reading. THE DANO-GERMAN WAR. In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. Earl 117SSELL was understood to say that it had been proposed to prolong the armistice for a fortnight. The Panes first agreed to the proposal, and afterwards the Ger man powers consented. This was decided on at the sitting of the Conference that day. CHIMNEY SWEEPERS REGULATION BILL, The report of amendments to this bill was brought up and received. COURTS OF JUSTICIARY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill, which was to give the Queen, in Council, power over the circuits in Scotland. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM the bill was read a second time. AMERICA. Earl RUSSELL said that it would have been more can did if the noble marquis had waited until he saw the papers before he complained that the Government had not remon strated against the proceedings which had taken place at Boston. The fact was that Lord Lyons had repeatedly pro. tested against and complained of those and similar proceed. inga, both in letters addressed to Mr Seward and in inter views with that gentleman. The noble marquis had also complained of what had taken place in Ireland. And no doubt there was ground for such complaint, but he denied that the Irish Government had failed in their duty. The fact was that two men named Kidder and Feeny embarked in a joint speculation by which they were to induce Irish men to leave their country on pretence of being employed as labourers, and were then to get them enlisted and pocket the bounty for their own advantage. But he did not see the Government could have protected their dupes from the consequences of their own credulity, if they chose to trust to the offers of employment and of high wages which were held out to them. The men thus obtained in Ireland were no doubt taken to Boston; and there he could nct help thinking that the police and the recruit ing officers played a very discreditable pat t. It was true that these officers said that the men were sober when they enlisted ; but the men themselves denied this. And he certainly thought that when the facts were brought be fore their notice by Lord Lyons, they ought to have sent for the men who had been thus enlisted to his legation, and have there instituted a full inquiry into the whole of the circumstances. They had not dons so, he regretted to say. But Lord Lyons had strenuously remonstrated against the course that had been pursued, and he trusted that the Fede ral Government would yet listen to those remonstrances. The conduct of the Americans in 1812 had been held up to us for imitation. Eut he could not think so, for it is cer tain that if they had waited a couple of months before going to war their grounds of complaint would have been removed by the action of the British Government. It must not be f ,rgotten that we had to complain of injuries on the part of the Confederate as well as on that of the Federal States. , For if the laver enlisted our men in the way which had been described, the former included in their conseriptiun British suljects resident in the Confederate States. If war, therefore, was cur only resource, we must go to war with both sides. Our remonstrances would he continued, and measures would also be taken to warn our fellow-countrymen in Ireland against trusting to promises of high wages and employment in America, which were merely held out with a view to subsequently inducing them to enlist in the Fede ral service, This horrible war, in fact, excited so much fury on both sides, that in America it was difficult to deal with them on those ordinary principles which had hitherto go verned the commonwealth of nations. It was to be hoped that hostilities w,uld cease before long, but he could not state that any interference on our part would shorten the period of hostilities; because, amongst other feelings of violence and animosity which this conflict had engendered, there was one against any interference, particularly on the part of the monarchical Powers of Europe, with the war now going on. He certainly wished that the North would bear snore in mind than they did the principles on which their forefathers contended against the British Government; and that having so long denounced England for the efforts she made to reduce her colonies to subjection, they would not con. tinue the war against five or six millions of their fellow. countrymen, who only desired to put their own principles in practice. (Hear, hear.) He was quite willing to give the noble marquis the papers for which he asked. The story was very discreditable to the American Government; but her Majesty's Government would continue to remonstrate as they had done in the strongest manner, with a view to prevent similar occurrences taking place for the future. After a brief reply from the Marquis of CLINRICARDE, The motion was agreed to. COUNTY COURTS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. After replying, to a questi on p u t b y t h e E ar l o f DERBY with respect to the production of a certain return, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he proposed, in com mittee on this bill, t o a x the period of limi:atiox for debts under £2O at three years, at the same time restricting the operation of the measure to debts hereafter contracted, The period of limitation would run from the date of the last item in an ace,?unt, or from tha last part payment, or from the date of any subsequent sek alowied great in writ- ing. The house then adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evenin g. The SPEAK ER took the chafe at four o'clock. COLLECTION OF fAX Sir H.WILLOUGHBY gave notice that when this aub, jest came beflJre the house he should move that it is not expedient that the land and income tax should 1).1 collected by the officers of the Inland Revenue. THE " RESEARCH." In answer to Sir J. HAY, Lord C. PAGET said the reports which had been re ceived in referance to the Research were confidential, If, however, there were any portions of the correspondence which were required he should have no objcction to give them. THE ACCIDENT AT EGHAM. Sir R. CLIFTON asked the Secretary of the Home De partment whether it is the intention of her XNesty' s G o . vernment to appoint solos properly qualified person to attend the inquest in this case. Sir G. GREY said a person had been appointed to attend the inquest and to report. LAGOS. 31r MILLS asked a question with respect to the present disaFtrous condition of Lagos. Nlr CARDWELL said arrangements were in progress on the part of th e G overnor w h o had discharge d hi s duties with efficiency. There was no intention to recall the Go vernor. THE ARMISTICE. In answer to Mr D. GRIFFITH, Lord PALMERSTON said that at the meeting of the Conference today the armistice had been prolonged for a fortn'ght. (Hear, h ear.) TEE PENSION OF THE COUNTESS OF ELGIN. The house went into committee. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no occasion on which the house had a more grateful duty to perform than to acknowledge the services of those who had sacrificed their Limo and probably their lives . to the service of their narrated the ser v sof Lord Elgin, the ice country. Ilaviug pension of £l,OOO a year should noble lord proposed that a be granted to the Countess of Elgin, adeing that the East Indian Department have granted her a sum of equal amount. in secon di ng th e mo ti on, expressed Lord STANLEY , the entire and cm - dial concurrence of the Conservaqve side of the hAtse is the estimate which Lord Palmerston had made of Lord Elgin's servives. In answer to Sir W. AVILIOUCIIIV, Sir C. WOOD acid the £l,OOO a-year to be granted by the Indian Department would n , )t require confirmation from the House of Commons. The vote was then agreed to. COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY stated some ot)jections to the The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that an humble address be pres e nted t o h er M a jesty for copies of extracts from any dispatch from her Majesty's Minister at Washington relating to the proceedings or report of the select committee of the United States Congress on immigration, or to bills upon. the subject brought into Congress ; and also for copies of extr ac t s from despatches or reports reepectmg . the enlistment of Irish immigrants at Boston and Portland in the month of March last, or to the enlistment of any of her Majesty's Canadian subjects in the United States army. The noble lord dwelt at great length on the false representations to labouring men in Ireland by parties whose sole object in that country was to induce men ender any circumstanc es t o go i nto t h e Ame rican army. He said the last accounts showed how fearful was the sacrifice of human life in the United States, as the losses of one of the armies had been put down at no less than forty thousand men. He thought it was the duty of the country to do all in its power to prevent the subjects of her Majesty from taking any part in such a horrible state of things as existed in that country. Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion. In so doing he severely condemned the conduct of British subjects who joined the Federal armies, contrary to the law of this coun try, and denounced the course of the Federal Government in encouraging the enlistment of men who were thus, as they well knew, breaking the laws which they were bound to obey. The Northern Government by resorting to the ser %ice of Irish and German soldiers for the subjugation of the Confederates. were doing the very thing against which their forefathers protested during the war of independence, when I the eloquence both of Mr Burke and Lord Chatham was em ployed in denouncing the English Government for the em ployment of Hessian troops. The noble and learned lord expressed in elcquent terms his hope that the Americans would ere long see the folly of continuing the present civ war. After some remarks from Mr F. POWELL and Mr It. Mans, the order was discharged. In committee on Greek Loan (Consolidated Fund), a re solution was agreed to, on the motion oe the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER, authorising the Queen to relinquish in favour of the King of the Hellenes, during his reign, the sum of £l,OOO a year, and to that extent to release the Greek Treasury from the obligation of the arrangement concluded at Athens in June, 1860, in refe rence to the Greek Loan. Leave was then given to bring in a bill. The Railway Construction Facilities Dill was recom mitted, but very little progress was made when the house resumed. On the order for the second reading of the Street Music Bin, Mr HANKEY moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time on that day three months. He con. sidered that street music was a mere question of demand, and supply, and such legislation as this was, in his opiLion, of a most paltry description. Some discussion of an amusing character ensued, in the course of which the bill was supported by Sir G. Grey, Mr Hunt, and Sir R. Peel, and opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr BUTT moved the adjournment of the debate, but the motion was negatived by 56 to 19, and the bill was read a second time. The remaining business on the paper was also disposed of, and the house adjourned. Emigration of 1863, - The report of the Emigration Commissioners, just issued, shows that the great emigration which began with the Irish famine of 1847, but declined rapidly at the commence ment of the Russian war in 1854, when a demand for re cruits arose, and revived again early in 1857, until the In dian mutiny caused another demand for the army, never since attained any large proportions until 1863. In that year 2 23,758 emigrants left the United Kingdom, 27 per cent. of them English, 7 per cent. Scotch, 52 per cent. Irish, 4 per cent. foreigners, and 10 per cent. not distinguished. 116,813 of them went to the United States, 53,054 to Aus tralia and New Zealand, 18,033 to British North America. On the question whether Irish emigration has been feeding the Federal army the Commissioners remark that the Irish emigration of last year fell far short of that of the years immediately following the famine, and amounted to only 2 per cent, of the population of Ireland ; that of the Irish emigration to the United States the proportion which con stated of single men was almost precisely the same in 1863 Sea in 1860, th e year before the war b egan , an d t h at in the Brat three months of the present year the proportion has bee n c. , 616£3 than in the first quarter of 1860. Boys above 12 " twilled as single men emigration returns, and a large P r° Mtion of the remainder emigrated as son; or brothers b in e more ,7 15 ( ..ommissioners think that there would not 4)00 out of whom the Federal army would have a cht ac , that ttaining recruits, and that it is not to be assumed even a majority of these took ser vice.

Of the emigrants to Australia and New Zealand 41,354 went out on their own resources, and 11,700 obtained passage certificates or war, rants through theirfriends in the colonies, or were otherwise assisted out of the public funds. The increase in the num. ber of passenger warrants is a satisfactory feature of the emigration, and will probably furnish a sufficient supply of male labourers, but the demand for female domestic ser vants continues as great as ever. The Commissioners sent last year 4,131 single women to Australia, but the position of respectable women servants in this country is so fa-our able that it is impossible to procure the number the Austra lian colonies would wish to receive. New Zealand voted and sent to the Commissioners £lO,OOO to be expended in assisting emigration thither from the manufacturing dis tricts, and the Board sent out accordingly 643 passengers. The colonial demand is for men accustomed to outdoor labour. Of the general st a ti s ti cs o f em i gra ti on i t may 1 B : l ffice to menti on t hat in the eight years 1847-1854, the gre ,321,725 of the Irish emigrated to America, attracted by at exte n t o f i ts labour market. GARIBALDI,--An address from the people of Palermo, thanking the English nation for the reception given to General Garibaldi, has been sent to the Speaker of the House of Commons, with a request that he would make known the gratitude felt by the penple of Palermo, measure, and moved that it was not expedient that the land, assessed, and income tax should be collected by offi cers of the Inland Revenue. The motion was seconded by Mr PACKE and supported by Mr HUNT, the latter gentleman protesting against throw ing upon the commissioners of taxes the oe.tus task of de ciding whether the bill should be put in operation in their several districts or not. After some further discussion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the bill were not agreeable to the views of the community and its representatives in Parliament it ought not to pass; but the system it p ropose d was in operation in Scotland, where it worked economically and to the general satisfac tion. Constant complaints were now made of the exist- Mg system, the incivility, officiousness, defalcations, and irregularities of collectors ; but over these officers the Executive Government had no control whatever, inasmuch as they were appointed by !independent parties, to whom alone recourse for a remedy could be had. The right hon. gentleman then explained that the reason for omitting the metropolis from the provisions of the bill was that there were no stamp distributors employed there, the conse quence of which would be that, as it was meant to com bine the duties of collectors of taxes with those of stamp distributors, the appointment of a new and expensive staff of officers for this special purpose would become necessary. With regard to the objection founded on the permissive character of the bill, he considered that the permissive principle was absolutely essential, and that no ether was likely to receive the assent of the house. Birmingham, Liverpool, and other large communities, had petitioned in favour of the measure, and he thought that those dis• tricts which desired to avail themselves of it should be allowed to do so, whilst those with which it was unpo pular might be at liberty to decline. That was the only question at issue.: Mr HENLEY said it was difficult to separate the assess ment and collection. The former was a very burdensome duty, and would be continued by the local assessors ; the collection, too, should therefore be local. Not seeing that the bill would work well, or do any good, he should vote for the motion of Sir H. Willoughby. Lord J. MANNERS also supported the motion. On a division the motion was negatived by 137 to 103, and the house went into committee on the bill; and the bill passed through committee, after considerable discussion on the clauses. WRITS REGISTRATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. The debate on the Writs Registration (Scotland) Bill, adjourned from the 30th ult., was resumed, and conducted with much animation by the Scotch members, who were all but unanimous in opposing this measure. Sir J. FERGUSSON moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months; and the proposal was seconded by Mr Baxter. The LORD ADVOCATE defended the bill, which, he said, proposed to carry out the recommendations of the procurators of Glasgow in the first instance ; but in the absence of a more general support he was bound to defer to the opinions which had been so strongly expressed against the measure, and reluctantly consented to the discharge of the order. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the order discharged accordingly. CHURCH BUILDING AND NEW PARISHES ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the order for the second reading of this bill, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that the measure had been prepared in accordance with a resolution of the house in favour of a consolidation of the various acts re lating to these subjects, and in framing the bill his object had been so to consolidate and simplify the law as not to touch upon any controversial subject, more especially upon Church rates, and in that view the committee to which the bill was last year referred had also coincided. The measure had been constructed in scrupulous good faith by the Government, and he had hoped it would have been enter tained in the same spirit by the house. As, however, it had been misinterpreted, and, if pressed, was likely to excite a good deal of opposition, he deemed it more desirable to move that the order be discharged. Mr. HUNT regretted that the Government should have yielded to the pressure that had been brought to bear upon them by a small section of their own supporters, who en tertained extreme views on ecclesiastical questions, The concession was alike weak, unworthy, and dishonourable. Mr. 11. SEYMOUR. regretted that this attempt at legis lation had turned out a failure, and inquired what was to be the future course of the Government respecting it. He suggested that next session, if the present Attorney- General were then in office, the hon. and learned gentle man should introduce a simple consolidation bill. Lord J. MANNERS gave all credit to the Attorney- General for the efforts he had made to settle the matter; but the conclusion to which he came was that it was im possible to conciliate the political dissenter on any subject that was connected with the Church. If the Government really desired to legislate usefully upon the question they must proceed to do so upon the broad and bold basis of con solidation, in defiance of the Liberation Society. He hoped it was reserved for happier times and a united Cabinet to carry out the great work of Church Building Acts consoli dation. THE SUI%, LONDON, FI,IDA V EVE.NING, JUNE 10, 1864: DE AND GERMANY, (From the Times' Special Correspondent lately at the Danish Headquarters.) COPENHAGEN, June 6. Copenhagen had yesterday her own Grundslovfest, or Constitution-day, and a very happy town it was made by it, from early morning till 2 o'clock after midnight. It is no exaggeration to say that not one soul was left in the city. The day seemed to be made to order, the brightest and most joyous that could be bad in any climate. Spring is in full tide at last, even in Denmark, and all the trees, with the exception of the sleepy oak, are out in full blossom. It was a sin and a shame to be indoors, and we went out with the crowd, happy to follow wherever anybody might lead. I shall waste no ink in the description of the drive to the Deer-park (Dyrehave), past the pleasure grounds of Charlotten Lund, the wateringspiace of Klampenborg, the Hotel Bollevue, and other spots mentioned on a former occasion. I beg to carry the reader at once into the very middle of the park, close to the Royal Slot pavilion, or hunting box of the Hermitage, also already described, where, in the afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, the vast assemblage of citizens, who have been hitherto early people, scattered about, reclining under the trees, and consuming their lunch or dinner, are now com ing together from every quarter of the vast forest ground. A throng of about 20,000 persons are pressing upon each other on tiptoe within a compass of two or three square miles round the Palace, creep ing under, vaulting over, breakingthrough the long line of carriages, private or public, that were packed together as they are at Epsom, round the Royal Lodge, a building which, notwithstanding the different use to which it is put, bears in its shape no little resemblance to one of the great English race stands. Just about 4 o'clock a wave-like commotion seemed to stir the surface of that dense multitude ; cheers rent the air, a lively strain of martial music rose above the din of voices, and presently a string of modest Court carriages, drawn by a single span of horses each, drove up to the doors of the Lodge. A gentleman and lady in mourning attire alighted from the first carriage, a young lady and a boy six years old from the second, a number of gentlemen from the following ones. The former couple stopped ca the threshold, and acknowledged by bows the applause of the shouting masses. They then went in and were lost to view for a few minutes. What occurred within the walls of the pavilion, we, the outsiders, of course, could only guess. A deputation from the corporations of the :capital and of the adjoining townships made, we were led to suppose, their salaam to their Sovereign, who, no doubt, answered in " terse and appropriate language." In the meanwhile, those of us who had ears and voices joined in the execution of a song—" Til Kongen"—written and composed for the oc casion. As the last notes were swelling in the air the central window was thrown open, and the subject of those few lines and his Queen ap peared on the balcony. The cheers rose to their highest pitch, the Royal couple expressed their thanks by benignant inclinations of their heads. The tumult was then hushed up, and from the midst of the awful silence a clear ringing voice--the King's voice—was heard, each word as distinctly audible to every man as to every one the throb of his own heart thrilled with breathless emotion. The King's words were few. He gave utterance to his gratitude for the affection so loudly testified by his subjects, and begged them to join him in his "bless ing on Denmark." (" Gud beware Danmark !") The short speech ended with another bow, upon which the Royal personages instantly withdrew. Cheers were then given for the Queen, who once more came out and bowed her thanks. A new song struck up " For _Danmark !" but was interrupted by the ap pearance of a young fair head just peeping out above the atone balustrade of the balcony. There was a nut for Prince Waldemar, whose head in stantly ducked under, terrified by its own rashness. The boy was, however, brought back by his fond parents, and made to do obeisance, to the intense delight of the bystanders, There were more songs for " Constitution," for " Army and Navy,'' and for "Norden," ie., for the great Scandinavian Fatherland. A rush to the marble stairs leading to the Palace then ensued, and from the midst of the thronged multitude the Royal party made their way back to their carriages, and were soon out of sight, on their way to the Castle of Berne.toi ff, his Majesty's chcsen country residence for this summer, a few miles eff. Thcre was Lot ene zoldier en duty on the ground or at the Palace doors; not one policeman ; the people knew how to make room for their beloved Monarch, and needed no marshalling, no let or hind rance. The whole scene was simple in the extreme, yet sufficiently impressive. There is something to me unspeakably touching in the sight of that young, modest, affectionate, royal couple, who have come to the throne at an epoch of so much trial and peril for the Danish monarchy, and who take as little of the pomp and pageantry of their new station upon themselves as if they sighed for the quiet domestic bliss on which the cares of a tempest-tossed State have so rudely trespassed. The King preserves in the midst of his newly scorned greatness all the easy grace, the courteous simplicity which belong to a thoroughbred private gentleman. It would be waste of breath to say that the Queen is every inch a lady. There is in both their fine handsome countenances an expression of anxious care, a touch of sadness, conveying very plain hints of the share both of them take in the sorrows and fears by which the country is distracted, and making irresistible appeal to the sympathies of all beholders. The King has wide immense strides towards the best grounded popularity a Sovereign should aspire to win among his people, a popularity grounded in firm faith in the uprightness of his inventions, and on the ac knowledgment of his sterling public and private virtues. There is not an instance of a familiar face among the old acquaintance of the Royal pair in private life whose presence is forgotten, or even not expressly solicited; no instance of a stranger with any pretensions to gentle manners who is not wel comed in this unassuming household, English visitors, especially, easily find themselves at home in a Court bound to their own reigning house by such near ties, and where their own language is as readily spoken as at Marlborough House. When the King had left the grounds, a set of patriotic gentlemen stepped upon a platform, and delivered set speeches, of which the songs above alluded to supplied the themes. I did not wait to hear the last of them, you may be sure, for greater attraction was exercised upon me by the people's lair, which was held in another part of the park, where there were whirligigs, swinging boats, shoot ing matches, trials of strength, and a variety of other open air exercises of which these good Danish citizens seem to be inordinately fond. After saunter ing from booth to booth, I drove back to town, and proceeded to Fredericksburg, a park or vast garden, where the same pleasures, and those of eating and drinking, were carried on on a very large scale,nnd where the great treat was to be—please the ever• lasting summer day of this high latitude ever to come to a close—a magnificent display of fire works. From Fredericksburg we went to Tivoli, a better sort of Cremorne, a very paradise in the estimation of these worthy Copenhageners. If a stranger happened to feel or to look particularly dull during the winter months, the citizens, jealous of the good fame of their " merry" town, used to say, " Wait till Tivoli open:, and you will no longer complain that time hangs heavily upon you in the vanish capital." Well, Tivoli opened, and it was iiirdemhoerenr,edaannd Vauxhall eingonthe a g ll re o e v n e , r, m w on it t h ag m u u es sic it , u w es in es e : balloons, and fireworks. Only the people here do not happen to tire to-morrow of what they delight in to-day. Everybody goes to Tivoli, and the pre ; a e h n I c e e of . T thhee resgreatpectable t s a c t a T r e i s v h a l i w t a h y i s t d h e a y d i s w r a e s p ua ut to shame the never waning twilight. Ido not know whether there was a larger crowd at Dyrhave, or at Fredericksburg, or at the Tivoli gardens. My impression is that people multiplied themselves and managed to be at the three places at the same time. Of the behaviour of all that mass of people it would be superfluous to speak. Ttiree English gentlemen were with me from beginning to end, and we all agreed that the Danes are more entitled to the appellation of " angels" than even those Angle progenitors of theirs on whose bare-legged children an old Pope perpetrated that memorable pun. The Danes were not allowed to keep holy their Constitution-day in some other places as they did in Copenhagen. At Aalborg, Randert, and other towns in Jutland, the Prussians would not allow the national flag to be used by the eitiFens, and these could not or would not celebrate their anniversary without their wonted show of colours. To be sure, their Dannebrog—their dear old banner—fallen from Heaven ! we had a g oo d di sp l ay o f R ed and White both here in town and at Dyrhave and every where ; and not only of Danish standards, but of w and English— o f a ll European i s h , French,ags, only Italian, Prussian, Austria n , or S ed German. hags, niaont may ani Public Companies in Parlia. Inent. Yesterday the case for the parties opposing the proposed extension of the Metropolitan Railway to Trinity•square and Tower-hill having terminated in Lord Stanley's committee, Mr. Denison and Mr. Kerslake opened the case for the promoters of the East London Railway,the committee deferring their decision on the Metropolitan Company's project until they shall have fully gone into that of the East London, which is proposed to be incorporated with a capital of £2,015,000 in shares and £670,000 by loan, The company propose to reticulate the East end with railways, some thirteen in number, uniting the localities of the district with the leading metro politan railways. The first line will :run from a junction with the Great Eastern Railway at Tap street, Bethnal-green, passing over the eastern end of the Whitechapel-road and the western end of the Commercial -road East, to Severnsstreet,,St.George's in-the-East, thence under the London and Blackwell Railway and a part of the London Docks, through the Thames Tunnel, along the west side of the Grand Surrey' imber Docks, to the New-cross station of the brc London . and ,Bright on R a il way, with a connecting h A second section of ra il ways w i l l connect the first with t h e G reat Eastern at Bethnal-green, with the D eptford branch of the Brighton, where it an passes under the London and Greenwich, and with the South Eastern Railway. A third section will form a janction with the first at Severn.street, across and under Whitechapel High-street, and thence by the east side of Houndsditch to a junc tion with the Finsbury Extension of the Metropo litan Railway at Little Moorfields and the remaining seotions in their turn connecting with the others will run from the east side of Moorgate-street ; to the North London Railway, City Branch, near Sun-street, and to the Liverpool -street Terminus, Whitechapel, and London and North Western depots at Hayden-square. In addition, the com pany seek power to purchase the Thames Tun nel, to appropriate it to the purposes of their rail way and to discontinue its use for other purposes, and the promoters propose by the bill to pro vide morning and evening trains for the conveyance of the labouring classes through the tunnel at a penny for each passenger. The Board of Trade, in reporting on this latter object, state that having regard to the interest which the Government have in the Thames Tunnel in respect of the large sums of public money advanced to the Thames Tunnel Company, and remaining unpaid, it seems to be proper that arrangements for the purchase of the Thames Tunnel by the East London and the rail way companies, parties to the bi I should be ap proved by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. The representative of the Grand Surrey Dock Com pany was examined relative to laying the rails on the quays of the company by Mr. Round v. Mr. Hely and Mr. Slight, secretary of the Brighton Company, by Mr. Rodwell, and others, relative to the merits of the.measure, and the interest that com pany proposed to take in it. The bill to enable the Lynn and Sutton Railway to provide, side by side with the bridge over the river Nene, a separate public roadway along the railway, was passed in that committee. The bills for the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction (No. 2) and Rhymney Railway and Cardiff to Caerphilly were further considered and settled, subject to the insertion o some qualifying clauses, what is termed the Pur. chase Bill, being thrown out. The case for the North Staffordshire new lines was forwarded a stage in the shapa of further evidence as to traffic, and the detailed provisions required in connexion with the East Gloucestershire and Burton.on-the-Water and Lancashire District Railways occupied those committees all day. Mr. Massey passed the South E as t ern (No. 4) Bill, Dublin and Ballinglass, and Rickmanssvorth, Andershare, and Chesharn. A committee of the Lords, consisting of Lord Mont eagle (chairman), Lord Clinton, Lord Poltimore, Lard Talbot de i‘lalahide, and Lord Houghton, met, and, after hearing counsel and evidence, approved. the bill of the ;London, Brighton, and South Coast for their proposed Ouse Valley line, and then took the bill for the Sewage Im provement of Edinburgh and Leith, Mr Stephen son being examined by Mr Locke. In Lord Redes dale's committee the Southampton and Nutley, East India, Hamilton and Strathaven, Scottish North Eastern Bills; Denburn Valley, North British (Abbey Holum and Leegate branch), and Liverpool and Londo❑ Fire, Earl Egmont's Estates and Chit. tendeti'6 Disabilities Bills were considered and passed. Court of Common Council, A Court of Common Council was held yesterday 1:1 the Council Chamber, Guildhall—Sir Francis Graham j Moon pr es idi ng as l ocum tenens for the Lord d Mayor. At the opening of the Court, upon the motion of Mr Deputy Hawtree, which was seconded by Mr Alderman Salmons, M.P., a vote of condolence was passed, sympathising with the family of the Lord Mayor in the recent loss sustained by them in the death of his lordship's brother. Mr CORRIE, the Remembranoer, reported to the Court the introducti on into Parliament of a bill for facilitating the t ra ff ic by improving the communi cation across th e Ri ver Thames- Mr. WEBBER brought up a report from th e i ecd into stated Parliament that a bill tißridge House Estates Committee upon the matter, which the traffic of the metropolis b y im p rovin g the com munications across the river Th am es." They had examined the bill and fo und that it proposed to authorise tha Metropolitan Board of Works to pur chase by agreement Southw ark • brid ge and certain en had dd been recently intro " A Bill to facilit ate d other bridges mentioned in the schedule of the bill, and that any bridge eo purchased should be open for public use free from toll, and that it should be the duty of the Board to endeavour to purchase Southwark and Waterloo-bridges before pur chasing the other bridges ; and in the bill was a clause directing that the Corporation of London shall contribute out of the Bridge House Estates a sum not less than £50,000 towards the purchase of Southwark Bridge, and that When purchased that bridge should be maintained by the corporation of London out of the Bridge House Estates Fund. The report stated that the introduce tion into Parliameat without the authority or sane• tion of that court of a bill dealing with the Bridge House Funds, which are under the control and management of the corporation, was a proceeding of so unprecedented and dangerous a character as to render it in their opinion highly important that it should be opposed, and they therefore recom mended that a petition should be presented to the House of Commons against the bill, and that they should be authorised to prosecute the matter in such a manner as they might deem fit. In moving that the report be agreed to, Mr Webber said the committee, seeing the nature of the bill, which pro posed without the sanction of the court to meddle with a fund under the control of the corporation, and more especially that it was introduced by one of the members of that Court without consulting them, had thought it light to take the matter into consi deration and report upon it at once. A warm discussion ensued. It appeared that the name of Mr. Alderman Salomons was on the back of the bill as having introduced it in to the House of Ceninfons, and some of the members condemned in rather strong terms the course which had been taken by that alderman, by introducing into the house, without even giving the corporation finical= of his intention, a bill which they said would interfere with their control over funds placed in their trust for the public advantage. Alderman Rose, Mr L. Taylor, Mr De Jersey, Mr P. W. Trus cott, and Mr Medwin were among those who sup ported the recommendation of the committee that a petition should be presented to the House of Com mons by the corporation in opposition to the bill. Mr Deputy Harrison and Tlr Cookerell thought, however, that the Court should pause before they appeared to oppose a measure which would improve the condition of the City traffic, Deputy Harrison suggesting that they should wait and see what was done at the second reading of the bill. The motion of Mr. Webber was, however, agreed to, and a petition directed to be prepared in accord ance with the terms of the report. A petition signed by John Remington Mills, Esq. MY., Samuel Morley, E,q., and a large number of other influential gentlemen, was presented by Mr Deputy C. REED, praying that the Court would take steps to secure the present condition of the Bun hill-fields bury ing ground, and to secure it for ever sg.. 7 nst any possible perversion to other uses than those for which it had been for two centuries sacredly appropriated. The petitioners stated that the spot mentioned had been set apart by the corpDration of London as a place of interment 200 years ago, and for 190 years had been used for that purpose, until in the year 1852 it was closed by an order in COULCii. They also stated that 120,000 corpses had been in terred there, which number included the remains of men whose memories were among some of the most precious of our national heir-looms—men who not only adorned the age in which they lived, but had rendered permanent blessings to the land, and whose names the world would not willingly let die. To allow the disturbance of a spot so hallowed, they urged, could not but be regarded as an injury to the nation. Individuals had bought graves and family vaults in the ground under the impression that they were securing permanent and immovable places of sepulture. The Corporation, too, were evidently under the impression that it could never be alienated, and had at various times, especially in 1787, given assurance that the ground should not be built on; and to allay apprehensions that had arisen that it might be converted into other purposes, declared by public advertisement that every part of the ground should at all times hereafter remain as burial ground, and be used for that purpose only. In answer to Mr. Lowman Taylor, One of the gentlemen attending to support the petition said that they had been positively assured that the Ecclesiastical Commissioners had already prepared plans for converting it into building ground. The petition was referred to the City Lands Com• mittee. Mr. H, L. Taylor and Mr. J. E. Saunders were re-appointed to represent the Corporation of Lon don in the Metropolitan Board of Works, under the provisions of the 18th and 19th Victoria. A report was brought up from the Library Com mittee on the reference to reconsider the report re specting a collection of manuscripts belonging to Edward Tyrrell, E , q., late Remembrancer, and re commending that the same be not purchased. The report was agreed to, and the court shortly after adjourned. The Proposed Siege Operations at Chatham, CHATHAM, June 9. The following details of the siege operations to be carried on by the troops of the garrison of Chatham on Saturday, in the presence of the Prince of \Vales and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, with other members of the royal family and English and Foreign Ministers, are officially an nounced, by tee sanction of Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the district, and Col. H. Her ness, C. 8., the director of military field works :- 1. The officers and men of the Royal Engineer establishment will, in conjunction with the other troops of the garrison, and with the assistance of the captain superintendent of the royal dockyard, and the naval means at his disposal, carry out the concluding portion of a supposed series of siege operations on the 11th inst. against the eastern or lower end of Chatham Lines. 2. The siege works are considered to have been advanced to the extent seen upon the ground, and preparation made for opening the place to assault by mining the escarp and con nterscarp between St. Mary's barrier and the casemate barracks. 3. Against the assault the besieged are supposed to have made the following disposiiims :- 4. They have formed countermines, and lodged charges of gunpowder under the French Cavalier in front of the demi-bastion, and under the head of the lodgment on the glacis in front of the left face of the Redan. They have constructed a boom across St. Mary's Creek, in which they have also sunk several torpedoes to destroy any boats which may attempt to turn the left of the lines ; and as a fur. ther security to this flank, they have formed a stockade between the ditch of St, Mary's Hornwork and the piece of water adjoining the military bath. ing-pond. 6. The operations will commence, the time being supposed to be just before daylight, by a party ad vancing in a boat up St. Mary's Creek to attach a charge of powder to the boom, Which being effected they will retire. On the explosions the assailants will open fire upon the lines from the batteries and advanced trenches, and also from the gunboats, when the garrison will spring their mine under the French Cavalier, and shortly after that under the head of the lodgment. 6. After these explosions an armed party in boats will advance up St. Mary's Creek, when the tor pedoes of the garrison will be fired in succession. As soon as the party in the boats have effected a landing, the breaching mines of the besiegers will be sprung. The general assault will then be given. 7. On the left, a column, provided with ladders, will escalade the lines at the re-entering angle of the right face of the Redan. In the centre, a column, also provided with ladders, will escalade •at the re-entering angle of the left face of that work. On I the right a column, headed by a party of sappers, provided with short ladders and entrenching tools, will storm the breach made by the mines. 8. During the execution of these operations, and while the assailing columns are establishing theme selves within the works, the party in the boats, taking advantage of the confusion in the garrison consequent upon the springing of the mines, will press in front of St. Mary's Hornwork, and, turning its left flank, will breach by means of gun powder the stockade near the bathing pond. 9. The assaulting columns will then advance to the attack of the works near Cumberland Bastion, which may be considered as an entrenchment. 10. The left column, detaching a party through the parade of the casematee, will pass between the ramparts and the soldiers' casemate barracks to clear the defenders from those works, and will then force their way into Prince Frederick's Bastion, through the postern, and over the right face of the work. 11. The centre column will advance between the casemates and the right face of the Ravelin, and, passing round its gorge, will effect an entrance into the entrenchments through the curtain between the Cumberland and Prince Frederick Bastions. 12. The right column will move over the ground between the left face of the Ravelin and St. Mary's Prison, to attack the front formed by the Terrace and Cumberland Bastions, by the curtain of which the enter the inner lines. 13. The boat division will proceed by the road in rear of St. Mary's Prison to the new guard room, from whence they will advance and turn the left to the Terra ce B as ti on b y the Fieldwork Terrace , _, C.

TIMEs.—It would be difficult to find a more ex. cellent example of statistical inquley than tha exhibited in the Report of the Emigration Commis sioners for the lest year, just presented to meat. The Report preserves the same broad outlines of popular movement shown in former years, but there is a remarkable increase in the volume of emigration, and the Commissioners have applied a patient analysis to the discovery of its cause. Ale though the conclusion of the Emigration Commis sioners is irrefragable that no larger proportion of emigrants from the United Kingdom have sailed for the United States in the past year than in preceding years, yet the fact that the proportion should be so large seems to require some explanation. Two-thirds of our emigrants proceed to the tLaited States. Out of 5,482,000 who have left the kiogdom aering this century 3,303,000 have sailed for the American _Re public, and the some proportion was shown last year, when 146,813 sailed thither out of 223,758 emigrants. Professor Gold win Smith seem s to dis cover in the circumstance a tendency in the emigrant to resort to a country emancipated from home con trol, but the fact admits of a simpler economic ex planation. The man who is driven to seek in other lands the subsistence which the competition of his fellows makes it difficult to obtain in this betakes himself to the country which is at once most easy of access and most richly furnished with the gifts of nature. The necessary cost of passage to the Australian colonies forces the poorer emigrant to America, and his choice is confined to the States or to one of the British Provinces. The rugged climate of our own settlements is the principal influence which deters him from emigrating to them, but it is impossible to attribute the climate to the effects of home legislation. As it is, the Canadians have the mortification of seeing hardy labourers passing through their country and disdaining to settle there. immigrants, not only from Britain, but from Ger many, Norway and Sweden, passup the St. Lawrence en route for the Western States. In 1862 no less than 5,289 immigrants from Norway and Sweden landed in:Canada, and not more than 40 of them are believed to have remained there. Last year between 4,000 and 5,000 Germans and Norwegians passed through in a similar manner, Few Englishmen are aware of the extensive immigration of Coolies into our sugar-producing possessions of Mauritius, Guiana, and the West Indies, nor of the rush of Chinese lute Australia which frightened the colonists into the adoption of prohibitive legislation. The influx of Chinese seems, however, to be less dreaded than it was, for the Legislature of Victoria has suspended for two years the tax of £lO imposed on Chineei: entering the colony by sea, and of £4 on those entering it by land. The disturbed state of China may have had some occult influence in lessening Chinese emigration, just as it seems certain that the increased demand for Indian produce has checked the migration of Coolies. The number of Coolies who have sailed for the Mauritius and the West Indic s during the last year has been barely ten thousand, a considerable falling off on the emigra tion of former years. The last year witnessed, however, an entirely new phenomenon in the shape of inter colonial migration among the West Indies themselves. The island of Barbadoes has preserved a reasonable amount of prosperity through all the vicissitudes of West Indian fortune, because it was so thickly populated with negroes that they must work to live. But last spring the nufortunate summer in 1862 produced considerable distress in Barbadoes, and labourers began to emigrate to An tigua, St. Croix, and British Guiana, until the platters became alarmed at the loss of their men. The cessation of the distress and of the consequent emigration soon allayed their fears, but it seemed at one time that the migration of negroes might be summarily prohibited. A similar alarm pre veiled in British Guiana by the report that the Dutch planters of Surinam, having abolished slavery, were enticing Coolies across the border. One of the most satisfactory facts brought to light by the Emigration Commissioners is the success of the legislation imposing regulations on emigrant passerger ships, Never has the interference of the Government been better justified by the results. The small rate of mortality among the emigrants is every where apparent, but it is perhaps been seen by the returns of immigrants into Canada, Out of 13,485 persons sailing from Great Britain in steam. ships only five persons died, and out of 1,746 in sailing vessels but one,while out of 2,105 emigrants from Germany 46 died on the passage, and six out of 1,119 from Norway. These returns show that the mortality in our emigrant ships has been reduced to a minimum, and the same satisfactory result is ar rived at an inspection of statistics of Coolie emigra tion. The rigorous regulations to which the latter has been subjected have converted it from what seemed at first a thin disguise of the cruelest slavery into a beneficeut distribution of surplus labour, to the advantage bath of planter and workman. Posr-e-A further suspension of hostilities for a period of fourteen days gives some hopes of a preli minary arrangement being arrived at by the Con ference within that period. We confess, however, that unless the German Powers consent to abate their pretentious we have but little expectation of seeing peace issue from the present negotiations. The prospect which most encourages us in a san guine view is our trust that England may at last take up the position which, in our opinion, she should have assumed at first, and that, abandoning anxious enunciations of opinions and wishes, this country may now speak with a firm resolve. It is well known that w have made every secrifiee, even to the destruction of the Treaty of 1852. We have ourselves proposed the dismemberment of Denmark, and have suggested that Holstein and Leuenburg, and the southern part of Sch:eswig, should be given over to Germany. We have drawn the line of demarcation at the Schlei and the Dane wirke. This proposal, injurious as it is to Den mark and unpleasing to ourselves, should at any rate satisfy the cravings of the Germans, while it should content all demands founded upon the for tune of war. But there is only one way to secure its acceptance and to ensure peace, and that is, to be re solute in carrying out the plan we have fixed upon. If we waver once more, we shall assuredly see war renewed, and ultimately find ourselves, however unwillingly, involved in it. We must take a stand somewhere. We must either place our back against a wall, or retreat till we stumble into a ditch. It is idle to talk of the small importance of a belt of territory 20 miles wide, It is this very argument, this very underrating of demands, that has brought us to this pass. Thus we countenanced the execu tion in Holstein. Thus we undertook to obtain the revocation of the constitution. Thus we allowed the invasion of Schleswig. Thus we shrank from opposing aggression in Jutland. This receding policy, this manner of shirking a dog or withdraw ing the'hand from a cat, only provokes the certain scratch or bite. We have bad much time for reflec tion; we have heard and read and seen all that can be said, written, or done on both sides, and we have arrived at our conclusion. We have laid down the line of the Schlei—let us enforce it. The Miner, however bitter their disappointment, accept it; we have, then, only to induce the Germans to accede to our proposal. Let us consider what prospect we have of this. On the one hand, we have reason and equity to back our arguments; on the other, we have the military prospects of renewed war. First, reason suggests that the Germans ought to be saris fled with obtaining far more than they required when they first began their aggression, for then there was no question of depriving Denmark of provinces, but only of insisting on a change of con stitution which she had imposed upon her German subjects ; and equity would seem to imply that, after a victorious campaign for the cause of nation ality, it should be required that, in addition to Ger mans supposed to be freed from a common yoke, Mines, in their turn, should be subjected to the like anomalous fate. Secondly, as to the military aspect which the que s ti on wou ld assume i n t h e e vent of the renewal of hostilitie s , th e G ermans wo uld do well to remember that their present position in the penin sula cannot by any means b e considered as either pleasant or s a f e . Th e y wo uld infallibly be co pelted to reti re a t once t o Holstein if a combinedrn oaccnuupmieedrothues i D sl a a n n i d e s h, ei S th w e e r d o is f h F , a u n n d en E or n fleet. The German forces would be thus outflanked, English h en a w rm ith y and would of necessity have to retreat to the Eider, The Allies might thus, merely by this demonstra tion, repossess themselves of the Danewirke with out striking a blow, and then negotiations might begin aga in on more equal th oug h on different terms. We have nothing to be afraid of in such a war, if, unfortunately, we are forced into it; and we are anxious that the German Powers should un derstand that we estimate the position of affairs at its true value. Our extreme unwillingness to en gage in hostilities with a kindred race leads them erroneously to suppose that we are utterly averse from war under all circumstances. The Americans were for a long time under this delusion, until the affair of the Trent taught them a new lesson; and, when they sa w t h at we were not prepared to sub mit to insult, they at once gave way. It is our earnest desire that our German cousins should in their turn appreciate more really both the forbear ance and the pugnacious disposition of this coun try. A Ministry may make great efforts for peace, may allow much foreign interference, and even con vulsion, for the sake of prospective tranquillity in Parliament and in Europe, but they must not be driven too hard ; and if the Plenipotentiaries of the Fatherland are not empowered to si gn t h e pre liminaries of a pacification within the next forte night, we shall infallibly " drift," as in the Crimean war, till our 'eronclads are in Danish waters and our Guards in the islands. If such a situation of affairs were brought about we should have the as sistance of some, and the countenance of moat, of the Powers of Europe_ Demonstrations in North Sea would sure.ly be accompanied by ope - tions in the Adriatic ; and the war of nationaiit t begun on the Eider would kindle agarser and all - important blaze in Italy,Hungary, Poland 1 • still trust that no such prospect is before us; bu 1 is right to look the , immediate future full in the f te e et we may estim ate what we are aboat, and we are sa, vine i mme cee consequences of our present action.
