HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woelank at 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 RUSSELL was understood to say that it had been proposed to prolong the armistice for a fortnight. The Danes 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. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty 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 extracts from despatches or reports respecting 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 under any circumstances to go into the Ame rican army. He said the last accounts showed how fearful I. 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 1r 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 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 eloquent terms his hope that the Americans would ere long see the folly of continuing the present civil war. 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 ings, 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 erop:oyed as labourers, and were then to get them enlisted and pocket the bounty for their ova 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 not help thinking that the police and the recruit ing officers played a very discreditable pelt. 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 dine 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 1312 had been held up to us for imitation. But 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 zgotten 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 latter enlisted our men in the way which had been described, the former included in their conscription British subjects resident in the Confederate States. If war, therefore, was cur only resource, we must go to war with both aides. Oar remonstrances would be continued, and measures would also be taken to warn cur 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 would 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 more 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 reduem her colonies to subjection, they would noteon - tinuo the war against Live 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 n , ,ble 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 CLANRTCAEDE, The motion was agreed to. COUNTY COURTS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. After replying to a question put by the Earl of DERBY with respect to the production of a certain return, The LORD CRANCELLOR said he proposed, in com mittee on this bill, to fix the period of limitation 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 account, or from the last part payment, or from the date of any subsequent acknowledgment in writ- ing. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evenin g . The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. COLLECTION OF TAXES. Sir H.WILLOUGHBY gave notice that when this sub ject came before the house he should move that it is not expedient that the land and income tax should be 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 reference to the Research were confidential. If, however, there were any portions of the correspondence which were required he should have no objection to give them. THE ACCIDENT AT EGFIAM. Sir R. CLIFTON asked the Secretary of the Home De partment whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to appoint soma 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. Mr MILLS asked a question with respect to the present disastrous condition of Lagos. Mr CARDWELL said arrangements were in progress on the part of the Governor who had discharged his duties 'with efaeiency. There was no intention to recall the Go. vernor. THE ARMISTICE, In answer to Mr D. GRINTITH, Lord PALMERSTON said that at the meeting of the Conference to-day the armistice had been prolonged for a fortnight. (Hear, hear.) THE 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 time and probably their lives to the service of their country. H a ving narrated the services of L ord Elgin, the noble lord proposed that a pension of £l,OOO a year should be granted to the Countess of Elgin, adding th at the East Indian D e p a rtment have granted her a sum of equal amount. Lord STANLEY, in seconding tbe motion, expressed the entire and cordial concurrence of the Conserva!ive side of the house is the estimate which Lord Palmerston had made of Lord Elgin's services. fa answer to Sir W. WlLLoratz - v, Sir C. WOOD said the £l,OOO a-year to be granted by the Indian Department would not require confirmation frail 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 ohjt ctions to the 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. After some remarks from Mr F. POWELL and Mr R. MILLS, the order was discharged. In committee on Greek Loan (Consolidated Fund), a re solution was agreed to, on the motion of the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER, authorising the Queen to relinquish in favour of the King of the He!lanes, during Ws reign, the sum of £4,000 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 Bill was recom mitted, bat very little progress was made when the house resumed. On the order for the second reading of the Street Music Bill, 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 opinion, 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 declieeed rapidly at the comtuence ment of the Russian wae 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 223,758 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. 146,813 of them, went to the United States, 53,054 to Aus tralia and Neese Zealand, 13,033 to British North America. On the ques don whether Irish emigration has been feeding the Federeel 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 e,ent. of the population of Ireland ; that of the Irish e redgration to the United States the proportion which con- Bested of single men was almost precisely the same in 1863 as in 1860, the year before the war began, and that in the first three months of the present year the proportion has be ll en les sd than in the fi rs t quarter of 1860. Boys above 12 prreoclas,e as single mee t in emigr a ti on re t urns, and a large porti on of the reenainder emigrated as sons or brothers in familie s • be more than, `25, ea, the Oommissioners think that there would not of obtainine•whomte 000 out of the Fed I would an e d er t a ha a t rm it y is not have a chan e , e to be assumed that evenba mrecrui ts, jority of these took eer vice. The larg.ol3oBl of the emigration from Ireland is and the liberality of preceding attributed to distress, emigrants almost provided the entire expense of the escape from it, for it was know that more than !) £412 000 was North America to their , remitted in 1863 by settlers in . friends in the United Kingdom. 46 per cent, of the emi grants who went to the Unit ed State s took passage in British steemers. The establishment of these steam liners has effected a great and advantage ous change in the carriage wrecked off the of emgrants, and the mortality in 1863 was very small— only 0 . 10 per cent. in steamships and o.26vh:rysarailionlagnschhioplsy. t t i o n su h a a i p ti p e i s ly a , t h s o ea w . ee e T r h , ethAe Angle -Salon coast of Ne w f oun dl an d, an d 237 hveslost ; the L ord Raglan sailed from Li verpoo l f or M e lb o urne in February, 1863 , with 289 passeng ers an d 65 crew, an d h as not since been heard of--it is supposed she was burnt. 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 th e i r f r i ends in the colon i es, or were otherwise assisted out of th e p u bli c 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 sin g l e women to Australia, but the position of respectable women servants in this country is so favour able that it is impossible to procure the number the Austra iian colonies would wish to receive. New Zealand vote' and sent to the Commissioners £lO,OOO to be expended in aesis!ing emieration thither from the manufacturing dis tricts, and the Board sent out accordingly 643 passengers. The colonial dernend is for men accustomed to outdoor labour. Of the general statistics of emigration it may sufc© to mention that in the eight years 1847-1554, 1,321,725 of the Irish emigrated to America, attracted by the great extent of its labour market. ARIBALDI.—Au address from the people of Palermo, thanking the English nation for the reception given to General Garibaldi, has been sent to tho Speaker of the HOUBO of Ccmroons, with a request that he would make known the gratitude felt by the people of Palet I 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 PACE and supported by Mr RUNT, the latter gentleman protesting against throw ing upon the commissioners of taxes the °atom 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 proposed was in operation in Scotland, where it worked economically and to the general satisfac tion. Constant complaints were now made of the exist ing 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 cot) se 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. THE Sui', LOINDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1864, DE: ,MANY, (From the Times' Special Correspondent lately at the Danah 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 had 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 (Dyr-have), past the pleasure grounds of Charlotten Lund, the watering-place 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 keen 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, breaking through 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 atrain 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 on 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 4, For Danmark !" but was interrupted by the ap pearance of a young fair head just peeping out above the stone balustrade of the balcony. There was a shout for Prince Waldemar, whose he in stantly ducked under, terrified by its ow - s , r as h ness. The boy was, however, brought b 4ck by his fond parents, and made to do eb2i: Atn „ , delight of the bystanders. , to the intense There were more songs for " Constitution," ',O, " Army and Navy," and for "Norden," for the great Scandinavian FatherlandA rush to th e mar bl e sta i rs leading to the PiV.ace then ensued, and from the midst of the thrrnged multitude the Royal party made their way back to their carriages, and were soon out of sight, on their way to the Castle of Bernstoiff, his Molesty's chosen country residence for this summer, a few miles off. There was not one soldier on duty on the ground or at the Pakce doors; rot one policeman; the people knew how to make room for their beloved Monarch, and needed no marshalling, no let or hind- ranee. 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 accrued greatness all the easy grace, 'the courteous simplicity which belong to a tb :eroughbred 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 sonows and fears by which the country is distracted, and making irresistible appeal to the sympathies of all beholders. The King has made 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 nut 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, and 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 opens, and you will no longer complain that time hangs heavily upon you in the D tnish capital." Well, Tivoli opened, and it was Cremorne and Vauxhall all over, with music, wine, and beer, dancing on the green, montagnes Russes, balloons, and fireworks. Only the people here do i n n ot to h - a d p a p y e . n t sp: o vteirrye b t a o- ty na g or e r e o s w to of T w iv h e a li t , delight pre sence of the respectable scares away the disrepu table. The great delight at Tivoli this day was a show of oil lamps, which put to shame the never t() be waning twilight. I d o not know whether there was a larger crowd at Dy r h ave, or at Fredericksburg, impressi on.l‘ a ly nd managed is that at or at the multiplied gthemselves the three m ree u places at the same time. Of the behaviour of all that mass of people it would be superfluous to speak. Three English gentlemen were with me from beginning to end, en:l 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 citizens, 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 we had Dyrhave and every where Swedish, and French, not good display of R e d an d Whitefrom Hv b e o a th e n ! herein Danish stand ar d s , b u t o f Italian, and English—of a ll European flags, 041 Jr n o t P russian, Austrian, or German. only of Railway and Public Companies in Pulls,- meat. Yesterday the case for the parties opposing the proposed extension of the-Metropolitan Railway to Trinity-a - quare 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, paeeing over th e eas t ern en d of the et, w Bethnal-green,techapa ree'd and the western en d o f t h e Commercial-road East,teSevernestreet,:St.George's ehi in-the-East ) thence under the London and Blackwell Railway and a part of the London Docks, through alon g th e wes t s id e o f t h e G rand tLae SurreyTimber Tham e s Tn u p n o e c l, k a, to the New-cross station of the London and ;Brighton Railway, with a connecting branch. A second section of railways will connect the first with the Great Eastern at Bethnal-green, with the Deptford branch of the Brighton, where it passes under the London and Greenwich, and with the South Eastern Railway. A third section will form el junction 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 esest side of Moorgate-street ; to the North London Railway, City Branch, near Sun-street, and to the Liverpool -street Terminus, Whiteehapel, and London and North Western depots at Haydon-square. In addition, the com pany seek power to purchase the Tnames 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 bid should be ap proved by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. The representative of the Grand surrey Dock Com p:.ny was examined relati re to laying the rails on the quays of the company by Mr. Round v. Mr. Holy 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 2any 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 Rhyrnuey Railway and Cardiff to Caerphilly were further considered and settled, subject to the insertion of 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 shape of further evidence as to traffic, and the detailed provisions required in connexion with the East Gloucestershire and Burtonson-the-Water and Lancashire District It always occupied those committees all day. Mr. Massey passed the South Eastern (No. 4) Bill, Dublin and Ballinglass, and Rickmansworth, Amorsham, and Chesham. A committee of the Lords, consisting of Lord Mont eagle (chairman), Lord Clinton, Lord Poltimore, Lord Talbot de Malahide, and Lord Houghton, met, and, after hearing counsel and evidence, approved, the bill of the (London, Brighton, and South Coast for their proposed Ouao Valley line, and then took the bill for the Sewage Im provement of Edinburgh an d L e i t h , M r S tep h en son being examined by M r L oc k e.

Egmont's Estates and Chit tcnden', Disabilities Bills were considered and passed. timation 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 F. 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 is opposition to the bill. Mr beputy Harrison and Mr Cockerell thought, however, that the Court should pause before they appeared to oppose a meastre whit% 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 sign©d by John Remington Mills, RFq. M.F,, Samuel Morley, Eeni., 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 burying ground, and to secure it for ever against any possible perversion to other uses than those for which it had been for two centuries sacredly appreip fated. The petitioners stated that the spot mentioned had been set apart by the corporation 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 Council. 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 fox 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 Corn. inittee. Mr. H, L. Taylor and Mr. J. E. Saunders were re-appointed to represent the Corporation of Lon- don i❑ 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 be:onging to Edward Tyrrell, E4q., late Rnaernbrancer, 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 offieially an nounced, by the sanction of Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the district, and Col. H. Har 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 tneang 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 acrd conaterscarp between St. Mary's barrier and the casemate barracks. 3. Against the assault the besieged are supposed to have made the fallowing dispositions :- 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. 5. 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 th e garr i son 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 the right a column, headed by a party of sappers, provided with short ladders end entrenching tools, will storm the breach made by the mines. 8. During the execution of these operations, and while the assailing columns are establishing them selves within the works, the party in the boats, taking advantage of the confusion in the garrison consequent upon the springing of the mines, &c., 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 casemates, 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 Terrace Bastion by the Fieldwork Terrace, &c. Lieut.-Colonel Lovell, C. 8., R.E., will be the engineer officer directing the attack. Lieut.-Colonel Browne, C. 8., R.E., will be the engineer officer directing the defence. The troops will assemble on Saturday, the 11th, at 12,4.5 a,m. on the different parade grounds. L AD VERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills. The Body's B ulwark.--Nine-tenths of the maladies affecting adults depend upon a disordered state of the stomach. Holloway's pills correct the first symptoms of indigestion by acting healthily on the gastric juice, and wholesomely exciting the liver. They dispel flitulency, incipient indigestion, and overcome heat, distension, and pain attending more ad vanced or neglected cases. These pills invigorate or soon restore the dyspeptic from the great and sudden depression of strength always accompanying stomach disorders or biliary derangement. They beget cneerfulness, vigour, and happiness. In rectifying disorders of the digestive appa ratus, these pills prove themselves the promptest preven tives of disease. They raise a bulwark against all approach ing maladies, and preserve freshness, health, and life. Court of Common Council. A Court of Common Council was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall—Sir Francis Graham Moon presiding as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor. At the opening of the Court, upon the motion of Mr Loputy Hawtree, Which wns secon d e d by Mr Alderman Salomons, a vote of condolence was passed, sympathising w i t h the fam i ly o f t h e Lord Mayor in the recent lo ss susta i ne d b y t h em in the death of his lordship's b rother. Mr CORRIE, the Remembrancer, reported to the Court the introduction into Parliament of a bill for facilitating the traffic by improving the communi cation across the River Thames. Mr. WEBBER brought up a report from the Bridge House Estates Committee upon the matter, which stated that a bill had been recently intro duced into Parliament entitled " A Bill to facilitate the traffic of the metropolis by improving the com munications across the river Thames." They had examined the bill and found that it proposed to bridge and cert a i n o other bridges men ti one d in c a h u a th se or b is y e a t a h r e e .N e l m e e t n ro t p= sy ß a: a k r! l of Works to p ur . the schedule of the bill, and that any bridge 150 purchased should be open for puLlic use free from toll, and that it should be the duty of th e B oar d t o endeavour to purchase Southwark an d W a terloo•bridges before pur chasing the other bridges ; and in th e bill was a cla use di rect i ng 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 th at b r id ge s h o uld be maintained by the corporation of London out of the Bridge House Estates Fund. The report stated that the introduce tion into Parliament 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 auth or i se d to prosecute the matter i n such a manner as th e y 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 tight to take the matter into consi deration and report upon it at once. A warm discw.sion ensued. It appeared that the name of Mr. Alderman Salomons was on the back of the bill as having introduced it into the House of Commons, 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 the slightest in- SPIRIT Or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. itmEs.—lt would be difficult to find a More ex cellent example of statistical inquiry than that exhibited in the Report of the Emigration Commis sioners for the last year, just presented to Perlia ment. 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, Al though the conalirsion 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 feat that the proportion should be so large seems to require some explanation. Two thirds of our emigrants proceed to the United States. Out of 5,482,000 who have left the kingdom during 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 seems 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 etnigrating 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, pass up 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 permed 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 inte Australia which frightened the colonists into the adoption of prohibitive legislation. The influx of Chinese seems, however, to he less dreaded than it was, for the Legislature of Victoria has suspended for two years the tax of £lO imposed on Chinese 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 hos checked the migration of Coolies. The number of Coolies who have sailed for the Mauritius and the West s during the last year has been barely tea 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 is'and 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 unfortunate summer in 1862 produced considerable distress in Barbadoes, and labourers began to emigrate to An tigua, St. Croix, and British Guiana, until the planters 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 passenger ships. Never has the interference of the Government been better justified by the results. The small rate of mortality among the emigrants is everywhere 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,whilo 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 beneficent distribution of surplus labour, to the advantage bath of planter and workman. PosT.----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 ratty now speak with a firm resolve. It is well known that we have made every sacrifice, even to the destruction of the Treaty of 1852. We have ourselves proposed the dismemberment of Denmark, and have suggested that Holstein and Linen burg, and the southern pert of Schleswig, should be g iven over to Germany. We h ave d rawn the line ofdemareation 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 nave fixed upon. If we waver once more, a e 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 mil©s wide. It is this very areutnent, this very underrating of demands, that has brought us to this pass. Thus we countenaeced the execu tion in Holstein. This 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 had 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 Danee, 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 satis fied 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, Danes, in their turn, should be subjected to the like anomalous fate. Secondly, as to the military aspect which the question would assume in the eventof the renewal of hostilities, the Germans would do well to remember that their present position in the penin sula cannot by any means be considered as either pleasant or safe. They would infallibly be com pelled to retire at once to Holstein if a combined Danish, Swedish, and English army occupied the islands either of Funen or Alsen with a numerous fleet. The German forces would be thus outflanked, 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 again on more equal though on different terms. We have nothing to be afraid of in such a war, if, unfortunately, we are forced into it; and we aro 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 effair of the Trent taught them a new lesson; and, when they saw that 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 Mi n i stry may melte 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 sign the pre liminaries of a pacification within the next fort• night, we shall infallibly "drift," as in the Crimean war, till our lronclade are in Danish waters and our Guards in the islands. If such a situation of affairs were brought about we should have th e as sistance of some, And the countenance of most, the Powers of Europe. Demonstration! , in thy' North Sea would surely be accompanied by 0.1 3 . 0.11 " lions in the Adriatic ; an d th e war of nationairtie3 begun on the Eider would kindle a larger and more important bliote in Italy,Huogary, and Poland/ W a ' still trust that no anch prospect is before us ; be' it is right to look the immediate future full in the face, that we may estimate what we are about, and the immense consequences of our present action. I'Vny' t we are saying is no news to the Germano. They know, even better than we do, that we arc not to be trifled with if we are in earnest. The gre at difficu'ty is to prove to them that we shall not far ever give way. The representatives of this country have so constantly yielded in diplomacy that it is bard to make it felt that we have arrived at any' thing like a determination, or that we can be ' provoked into sending our fleet farther than the Note. On 'Wednesday next the Plenipotentiaries will not have much more than ten days before them to arrive at their m omen t ous d ec i s i o n. It is quit e agreed that this s h or t supp l emen t ar y a rmistice is to be final, and that on the 26th we are to learn NO° . ther hostilities are to b e rene wed with all ° e jt disasters which th e y may bring in their train. , becomes, therefore, a duty to let the CAbine ti Berlin and Vi e nna k now that the feelings of Eng.: land have been v er y d eep l y t ouc h e d, and that 11' needs but little more to urge her on a course w bicb, however repugnant to her, will be dictated by strong sense of her own interest and honour. All wars are made seemingly ab ou t t r ifles. If it thought that a belt of a Danish peninsula is a trifle , so, undoubtedly, are the Channel Islands. Yet V ll3O would not think it absurd to argue that becausi° India and Canada and A us t ra li a are not attacit e° 1 therefore we are to let F rance annex the Chann el Islands ? And so with regard to Denmark, there, are certain limits beyond which the aggressor nil: W not go. e have compromised ourselves in Dan matters. Mainly through our advice the Dineshl'a lost every inch of territory they had that ho' German population. It is the least we can do ,„ see that, besides that, no purely Danish land, 11 ° 8f.

This is not the tone o c i temper in which to treat matters of so grave c' n critical an import, lire trust that the official jour ofi d has no warrant for the levity of its language, 01) . 0 that the statesmen of Germany will join with a s l a hearty and sincere endeavours to bring about 6 speedy and final arrang e m en t of th e differ€ o o which by their prolongation so se r iously men the welfare of Europe.
