Ryde Park that a man was drowning, when John Parsons, one of the Royal „ttumane Society's boatmen, who was stationed about 200 yarn \ off, immediately hastened to the rescue. O n hi s way h e :4ty? the arms of a man rise above the surface of the water aid disappear again, and only reached the sp o t lust in time to etch sight of the crown of his head as he was sinking for the' last time. He thrust his arm down and seized the drowninenzan by the hair and brought his head above water as quickly' 04 possible, and lifted him into the boat. As the man soj., began to recover the boatman landed him, and gave him into'llle care of Police constable Holmes, 317 A, and was rowing sway to watch over the numerous other bathers, when he was recalled, as the brother of the rescued man was said to be under the water. After dragging a considerable time the brother was found twenty yards nearer the shore than where the other was picked up. Tho body was at once taken to the receiving house, and promptly attended by Dr. Sexton, but in spite of the unremitting efforts of the society's officers, they failed to resuscitate it. Indeed, the case was a hopeless one from the first. It appears that two brothers, named Owen and Albert Gibbins, of 14, Anderson-street, King's-road, Chelsea, were bathing together, when the latter, being an indif ferent swimmer, became exhausted and unable to keep up. Owen went to his assistance, when he was seized by the legs, and both went to the bottom together. Albert did not rise again, or ho would have been seen by the number of persons who were bathing about the spot ; but Owen struggled out into deeper water, when he was for. tunately seen and rescued, as above described. When lifted into the boat he tried to say something about his brother, but his utterance was so thick and unintelligible, in consequence of his half-drowning condition, that the boatman could not understand him.

An amendment was then proposed to omit the payment of the additional £5OO to the judge who should have to try the election petitions, on the ground that it would lead to canvassing on the judicial bench. Mr. Locke thought the more preferable course to pursue would be to increase the salaries of each of the judges X5OO, rather than make a distinction by giving that alditional stun to the single judge going to try the election petition. The person to be tried might say to the judge, if such was car ried into effect —" Why, you would not come to try this petition without you got a bribe of X 500." Mr. CARDWELL said he thought the proposal of the Government would be looked on as anything but a com pliment to the judicial bench. He was much more in favour of giving the whole of the judges additional salaries than giving the sum of £5OO to the judge trying the petitions. Mr. BOUVERIE thought that the proposal to give the money to the judge would do more than anything else to render the bill a failure. Just published, price is. 63., by post Is.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

The payment on application and the 10 per cent. due on allotment must be paid in cash ; but subscribers will have the option of paying the remaining instalments in " Bons" of the Egyptian Treasury, or of the Administration of the Egyptian Railways. Such " Bons" will be received as cash at the rates specified in the table annexed. Subscribers to the Loan, or: subsequent purchasers of Scrip, desiring to avail themselves of the option of paying in " Bens," must give notice of their intention previous to 15th August, and they will be required on or before that eay to deposit with the London Agency of ,the Imperial Ottoman 13ank, "Bons" representing (at the specified rates), the total amount of all the unpaid instalments; they will in exchange receive fully paid-up scrip to be subsequently exchanged for Definitive Bonds. Subscribers who pay their instalments in cash may on allotment, or on any of the subsequent days fixed for the payment of the instalments, anticipate the future pay ments under discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. THE IMPERIAL OTTOMAN BANK is prepared to receive SUBSCRIPTIONS for the above LOAN in Lon don on the 16th, 17th, and 18th July instant. Applications from the country posted on the 18th will be received. The subscription for bonds of this Loan will be made upon the terms of this prospectus and of the General Bond of his Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, which will be de posited in the Bank of England as security to the holders of the Loan. A copy of the General Bond may be inspected at the Offices of Messrs. Bircham and Co., 4G, Parliament-street, London. It will be observed that, whilst on the one hand this Loan offers a secure and advantle•eous investment to the general public, it presents, on the other hand, the special feature that the holder s of the engagements of the Egyptian Treasury before described are enabled, by becoming sub scribers, to convert those engagements into a current, in terest-bearing, and marketable security, the payment of which is guaranteed by the special revenues mentioned in the General Fund. The Egyptian Government (as will be seen by referents to the Bond) has come under a solemn engagement not to issue any further public loan for a period of five years. In cases where no allotment is made, the deposit will be returned within one week from the close of the subscrip tion, and where an allotment is made, it will be applied towards the payment then due. In default of payment of the respective instalments at their due rates all previous payments 'will be liable to for feiture. Scrip Certificates to bearer will be exchanged against allotment letters and bankers' receipts as soon as possible. Scrip issued in respect of allotments made by the Impe rial Ottoman Bank can only be paid on and exchanged for bonds in London. The'bonds will, however, be repre sented in pounds sterling and in francs , and the interest thereon and the principal will be payable at the option of the bearer in London, Paris, or Alexandria ; in London in sterling at par, and in Paris at the fixed exchange of 25 francs per pound sterling. Applications must be,naade in the specified form, which may be obtained at 4, Bank Buildings, Lothbury.

IMPERIAL PAR,LIA BUNT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at 5 o'clock. _ _ . CORONATION OATH. Lord EEDESDALE said that, in moving for a copy of the Coronation Oath, ho did so relative to the position in which the country stood with regard to the resolutions connected with the Irish Church in the House of Com mons. The noble lord then proceeded to review the course of events relative to the Coronation Oath. This was agreed to. In reply to Lord DENBIGH, Lord 31 ALMESBURY stated that orders had been given by the Admiral on the station to Captain Bridge to raise the blockade which he had instituted of the . port of Mazatlan. The Bankruptcy Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. Other bill were advanced a stage, and the house ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. COLLECTION OF ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. T. HUGHES asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether it was with the sanction of the Government that the tax collectors of the south of London wore issu ing notices that unless assessed taxes due on the 20th of March last were paid on or before the 20th of July, the persons neglecting to pay would be disqu tlified from vot ing at the coming election ? Mr. S. BOOTH said the Government had given no sanc tion to such a proceeding. His attention had been called to the subject on a former evening by the hon. member for Greenwich, and he had causad inquiry to be set on foot. If the hon. member would repeat his question on another evening he would be happy to give all the information in his p3wer. Mr. HUGHES asked that the information might be given to him privately, as the date mentioned in the ques tion was the 20th. THE WAR OFFICE. Lord ELC HO said if ho had the honour of a seat in the next Parliament he should move for a select committee to inquire how far it was expedient or practical, with a view to, and consistent with, economic administration in the War Depwtment, to substitute military for civil clerks at the Par-office and Horse Guards, libJral compensation being made to existing clerks. SUPPLY. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and received. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. S. BOOTH asked for and obtained leave to bring in the Appropriation Bill. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. The house wont into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 46. Mr. PO WELL said he had placed an amendment on the paper in this clause, but he was so satisfied with the pro posals made by the Government that ho should not per severe with it. On its being proposed to add words to the end of tho clause, that no candidate should be allowed to employ as canvassers, or agents, any persons who may have been found guilty of corrupt practices at any preceding election, The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it 63 Major iu favour Mr. LOWTHER moved another amendment, to the affect that any such agent so acting after ho had been convicted should be guilty of a misdemeanour. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the amendment, as he considered it an extremely cruel proposition. The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Si Majority against —22 Visciunt AMBERLEY moved an anienclinetit to the same clause, that a candidate elected through the employ ment, knowingly, of agents who had been convicted of bribery, should be incapable of sitting in the House of Commons duaing the three years next after the trial of the petition. Mr. R. GURNEY thought the declaring the election void, which it was already agreed should b 3 the case, would be quite punishment enough. lie hop3d the amend ment would not be pressed. Mr. M. CHAMBERS supported the amendment. The committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 4B Against it 3lajority against ----67 On the question that the clause stand part of the bill, Mr. WHITBREAD said without the house exercised some discretion with respect to the moving of amend ments to this bill, the hope of passing it during the pre sent session would be out of the question. Mr. GRIFFITH askod whether the hon. gentleman had received any authority from her Majesty's Govern ment to make such an appeal? Mr. DISRAELI thought the suggestion of the hon. gentleman opposite necessary and well-timed. On clause 47 boing proposed, Mr. MILL moved to insert the word " municipal" into the clause. Mr. DISRAELI said it would load to endless trouble if such addition was made. They would soon be called on to consider the subject of municipal elections, therefore he hoped the hon. gentleman would not press his amend ment. . _ The amendment was ultimately withdrawn, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. The next five clauses having been agreed to, on clause 52 being proposed, Mr. AYRTON said it now became necessary that the Government should state whether they would extend the provisions of the bill to Scotland and Ireland. Mr. DISRAELI said he would, on the bringing up the report, state whether it was possible to extend the measure to Scotland and Ireland. If it was not possible to do so he hoped the bill would be an acceptable one, limited as it would be to England. Mr. GLADSTONE thought it would do well to extend the bill to Scotland and Ireland, as it would appear an anomaly for the House to still hold its authority in the countries named whilst it had given it up as rag-Ards Eng land. He had expressed a very strong opinion on the motion but the circumstances had altogether changed in conse quence of its being limited only to 3 years. He should prefer a bill embracing England, Ireland, and Scotland, but if that was impossible he was not prepared to refuse the measure under consideration because it was limited to England. _ _ _ Mr. DISRAELI said he would, if possible, bring up a clause extending the bill to Scotland and Ireland. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. DISRAELI then moved an additional clause as to the payment of additional judges, and their remuneration for the duties to be performed under the act. Mr. AYRTON moved that certain words be added, to the effect that the three new judges should not be ap- Rimed until &u ths slsgtiou petitions arising OM the Mr. WHITBREAD thought there was nothing new in giving additional remuneration for additional work. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the making ono addition to the number of those on the judicial bench was an admis sion that Parliament did not wish to overwork the judges. Ho thought whatever was the result of the house upon this clause no disrespect was intended to the judges. If there was ground for increase of the salaries of the judges he was not at all disposed to object to a general increase to all of those distinguished persons. Mr. HENLEY preferreno see the salaries of the judges considered as a whole. He could not approve of the pro posal now before the committee. The committee divided on au amendment omitting the words, "Giving the judges going to try election petitions an additional £500," when there appeared— For tho amendment Against it 123 Mejority 27 A clause was then agreed to limiting the duration of the act to three years. The consideration of the other additional clauses occu pied the house up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting of the house was suspended. At the evening sitting, the condition of Greenwich Hos pital was discussed at some length, at the instance of Mr. B. COCIIRINE. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed at half past two o'clock. ENGLAND AND MEXICO. SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. Advices from Mazatlan to the 22d of June report that a serious difficulty had occurred between Com mander Bridge, of the English war steamer Chan ticleer, and the Mexican authorities at that place, The Chanticleer, it is said, was in a perilous situa tion on the coast, and fired signal guns for assist ance. A pilot went out and released the ship from her position of danger, but the onntnander of the steamer refused to pay the pilot for his services, and proceeded to Mazatlan. The collector of the port of Mazatlan was notified that one of the officers of the British war steamer was engaged in convey ing specie on board to avoid the export duty, and caused his arrest. The officer's person was searched and a quantity of gold found upon him. The cap tain of the Chanticleer came ashore, and in a very excited manner declared that his vessel and himself had been insulted by the indignity offered to his subordinates. High words followed, which culmi nated in the arrest and search of the person of the British commander, by order of the collector, who asserted his suspicion that the commander also was implicated in smuggling specie on board of his ves sel. Captain Bridge then went on board of the Chanticleer, and notified the inhabitants of Mazat lan that he was about to bombard that city for the insult offered to the English flag. The captain's proclamation of hostility caused great excitement, and numerous communications in writing passed between Captain Bridge, General Corona, and the civil authorities. The United States Consul, Mr. Session, acting as mediator, ultimately induced the British commander to modify his proclamation, so as to place the port of Mazatlan under blockade, so far as Mexican vessels were concerned, until he could receive orders from the British admiral com manding on this station. American and other foreign vessels would not be interfered with. It is asserted that the action of General Corona and the Mexican authorities is approved by the foreign resi dents generally. Th.; United States war steamer Suwanee had left Acapulco for Mazatlan to protect the American interests in that place. The United States steamer Resaca was at La Pal on the 21st of June. Additional advices from Mexico state that Commander Bridge at first demanded that the officers who searched the person of his subordinates and seized the money should be sent on board the Chanticleer to be dealt with as the commander saw fit. General Corona replied that sooner than sub mit to such an outrage he would allow the city to be bombarded, and telling him, in indignant lan guage, that if he had a reclamation to make he should make it in the manner customary with civilized na tions and through the proper channel. A Mexican correspondent gives the details of a plan of annexation of the Northern States of Mexico to the United States, in which the Governments of England, France, Mexico, and the United States are concerned. All holders of claims against Mexico, of whatever nationality, are to be satisfied. The only hope of their payment lies in the United States, and the interference and assumption by our Govern ment of all the just indebtedness of Mexico, in con sideration of the transfer to the United States by Mexico of her northern tier of States. It is confi dently expected that this will be the result of the enforcement by England of a vigorous blockade of Mexican ports. There is great conflict of opinion in the correspon dence from Mazatlan as to which party is most to blame in the Anglo-Mexican difficulties mentioned in yesterday's telegram. WHAT MEN HAVE DIED FOR. —Colonel Mont gomery was shot in a duel about a dog; Colonel Ramsey in one about a servant; Mr. Featherstone in one about a recruit ; Sterne's father in one about a goose ; and another gentleman in one about an "acre of anchovies ;" one officer was challenged for merely asking his opponent to the second goblet; and another was compelled to fight about a pinch of snuff. General Barry was challenged by a Capt. Smith for declining wine at a dinner on a steamboat, although the General pleaded as an excuse that wine inva riably made him sick ; and Lieut. Crowther lost his life in a duel because he was refused admittance to a club of pigeon shooters. In 1777 a duel occurred in New York city between Lieut. Featherstonehaugh, of the 76th, and Capt. M'Pherson, of the 42d British Regiments, in regard to the manner of eating an ear of corn, one contending that the eating was from the cob, and the other contend ing that the grain should be cut off from the cob before eating. Lieut. Featherstonehaugh lost his right arm, the ball from his antagonist's pistol shattering the limb dread fully, so much so that it had to be amputated. Graham, Major Noah's assistant on the National Advocate, lost his life in 1827, at the duelling ground at Hoboken, with Barton ' the son-in-law of Edward Livingsto ne , i n a simple dispute about " what was trumps " in a game of cards. An exhibition of useful destructive insects is an nounced to take place in the Palais de l'lndustrie, Paris, under the patronage of the Minister of Agriculture, during the month of August. [ADVERTISEMENT.]-11enceforth no ouelwill doubt the 'valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabic°, Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

The banquet took place at Brompton Barracks, the headquarters of the corps of Royal Engineers, a commodious marquee being erected in the barrack-square, in which dinner was served. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., Field- Marshal Commanding-in-chief, and colonel-in-chief of the corps of Royal Engineers, presided, having on his right Lieutenant-General Lord Napier, G.C. B. , G. C. S. I. , and on his left his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, K.G. The following officers of the Royal Engineers were present at the banquet :—Field-Marshal Sir J. F. Burgoyne, Bart., G. C. 8., General Sir J. M. F. Smith, K. H. , &c. The dinner was served on a scale of great magnificence, the band of the Royal Engineers performing an appropriate selection of music during the banquet. On proposing the toast of the evening —that of " Lord Napier of 3lagdala" --the Duke of Cambridge alluded to the almost un- paralleled nature of the undertaking in which the troops in Abyssinia were engaged, and the brilliant termination of the campaign. Lord Napier, in responding, spoke in terms of high praise of the conduct of the force under his command. The dinner did not terminate until a late hour. 31. DROUYN DE LHUYS AT BEDFORD. His Excellency M. Drouyn de Lhuys, with a distin guished party of Frenchmen, who have come to England to observe the operations of the Royal Agricultural Society, visited the Britannia Ironworks on Friday morning, having arrived by the 10.45 express from Leicester. At 12.45 the workmen, to the number of 400, assembled, ana His EXCELLENCY addressed them in the following terms :—I view with satisfaction this peaceful park of artillery, raised by so many laborious hands, so many soldiers of industry. Several years ago I had occasion to view this wonderful and magnificent display of your commerce and industry and agriculture— (cheers)—to see and learn how, arrayed by you, they contribute to your abundance. While your vessels plough the deep, and carry to distant shores your golden cargo, your plough—(loud cheers)—opens the bosom of mother earth, and autumn brings forth her genial harvest. I remember with some pride that in former times it was my lot to fulfil my sovereign's command, by linking our two nations by relations of a peaceful kind ; and I feel confident that the Emperor would still further approve of my efforts were I to succeed in establishing a durable tie between the husbandmen of our respective countries. (Cheers.) Let us join in this wish. Let us go hand in hand, and may the agriculturists of Gfeat Britain and France join in the same prayer: "God speed the plough and bless the driver." Adieu. His Excellency was loudly applauded, and left in com pany with Mr. James Howard to lunch at his residence, after which the party drove to the Britannia Farm, two miles away. THE HARVEST. ESSEX.—The harvest has very generally commenced in this neighbourhood. A few pieces of oats were cut last week, and this week the wheat, which has within the last few days assumed its complete harvest hue, has been generally attacked by the scythe and the sickle, the reaping machine not being brought so much into use as we expected to see it. Several fields in this district are in trave ;in most other parts of the county the harvest work is in full operation ; and there is every prospect that the crops will be gathered in at an earlier period than for many seasons past. In the adjacent counties of Herts and Suffolk the wheat is being cut, and in the upper part of the latter, bordering on Essex, it is stated the crop is likely to be above an average.—Chelmsford Chronicle. SOUTH LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE.—The harvest hag commenced in earnest in Cheshire and the neighbourhood of Liverpool, and the wheat crops are falling rapidly before the sickle. So far as wheat is concerned the yield will be heavy, though the straw will be small. Oats, too, will be abundant, but turnips and mangold-wnrzels, owing to the rain, will be poor and thin. The rain of any consequence was that which fell on the 4th and 16th inst., and considering the heat of the past six or seven weeks, the downfall has only refreshed the lowland crops. There has not been such hot weather and such absence of rain in Liverpool since the year 1826, when there was a drought which lasted, we belie\e, from the beginning of May to the commencement of September. TIIE STING OF A WASP.—A wasp was the cause of an alarming accident in the parish of Tinwell a day or two since. A load of corn drawn by three horses, the property of the Earl of Gainsborough, was being con veyed from Exton to Tinwell Mill. When descending the lane leading to the side-bar the shaft horse was stung by a wasp, which caused the horse to kick violently and then start off. By some means the other two horses became detached from the team and entered the village, but the horse that had been stung turned into a garden plot by the roadside, and knocked down a pigsty. The waggon was overturned, and the horse seriously injured. It is said there are two wasps' nests in tho lane, which ought to be destroyed, and persons have been deterred from passing that way in consequence.—Stamford Mercury. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.—The unex ampled drought, which has lasted continuously for the last two months, was, on Thursday afternoon, succeeded by rain. The two previously days had been extremely hot, the thermometer reaching in some parts of the county of Durham a point that it had not attained for previous ten years. In South Durham and the contiguous parts of the North Riding the registered heat was 91, well protected in the shade ; in North Durham about two or three degrees less. Ou Thursday the temperature was rather lower, and in the afternoon a gentle rain commenced to fall, which continued almost uninterruptedly for eight or ten hours. Up to Friday afternoon there had been no recur• rence of rain from an early hour in the morning, and the day was turning out brighter. WRITE HEAT AND BLACK COATS.--Why QO not the members of our profession set a good example by clothing themselves in a rational manner during the present weather? We learnt from Franklin a century ago that the solar heat is absorbed with greater or less facility according to the colour of the object exposed to the rays. Everyone remembers how he put pieces of cloth, similar in texture and size, but different in colour, upon fresh-fallen snow in the sunlight, and how he found the snow melted under the pieces of cloth quickest when the cloth was black, less quickly under the blue, green, purple, red, yellow, in the order enumerated, and very slowly indeed under the white. Each day's experience shews us that we do not need to he made of snow in order to melt rapidly under a black coat. What we require for comfort is of course a white material, in order that the heat rays may be reflected as much and absorbed as little as possible. The material should be porous—should imprison, ofie fftaohfnrcatdiehtu,neitas:sb,tyaloi facilitating this re evaporation q vTa u api a , di ou materiale conductorrst ae i e t s i io o uns f h a l ooiiru should i qualities its ea t hro s emet t a e bpot x lseo t wa u tasuh r der e isole , sset a ftaa n retod d izt s h e tte r v hhseae e m , hisav:f t e h :tyh e immua r esc c ficiaon.usneclo,satnultehNevrhetchis rupelasononingtheziliagertu upon p d l e a gre ce e of by th w e hi at t r e o Erg.SLIZIIO.4§A_A MISS CRAIK'S NEW NOVEL.
