Letters from Paris state that fears are entertained there of the effects of the long absence of rain, whilst uie heats have prematurely forced some of the crops. ~ beet for example has suffered greatly, and it has f urther been injured by the appearance of insects Ivl , lol ll rain would have destroyed. Beet growers, I va° are now an exceedingly large interest in France, are therefore feeling considerable anxieties. Mr. Helmuth Schwartze's wool price current, dated l astL night, states that since the .

Soltykoff, Lord Stradbroke, Lcrd Zetland. The following resolu tion, proposed by the stewards, was passed unani mously :—" Whereas it is expedient that the Rules of Racing which prohibit defaulters for stakes and forfeits from entering or running horses should extend to de faulters for bets, and to all persons guilty of malpractices on the turf, it is resolved that : 'No person convicted of any fraudulent practices on the turf, and no person that has been reported by the committee of the Subscription rooms at Newmarket or at Messrs. Tattersall's as being a defaulter in bets, shall be permitted to name, enter, or run, either in his own name or in that of any other per son, any horse of which he is either wholly or in part owner, for any race whatever." The rule proposed by the stewards to be added to the rules of the Jockey Club was, after some discussion and the suggestions of some amend ments, finally passed ascender —" If any member of the Jockey Club, or of the New Rooms or Coffee Room at Newmarket, should appear in the published forfeit list as a defaulter for stakes or forfeits, or be reported by the committee of the Subscription Rooms at New market or at Messrs. Tattersall's, as being a de faulter for bets lost. on horse racing, the stewards shall cause notice to be sent to him that if his default be not cleared by a certain time, to be stated in the said notice (nut to exceed three months), his name shall be erased from the list of members; and if a member of any of these clubs should bo convicted of fraudulent practices on the turf, or should compound with his creditors, he shall cease to be a member." The proposal to alter Rule 10 of the Jockey Club was withdrawn. MR. BENEDICT'S MORNING CONCERT.—TO. morrow Mr. Benedict will give his annual concert at St. James's Hall, and, as customary, will be assisted by a host of eminent artists, including th 3 chief operatic and concert singers and many of the principal in,trumeutalists. The programme is unusually long and particularly in teresting, embracing nearly,so subjects. Mr. Benedict de servedly enjoys the patronage of many members of the Royal family, and therecan be no doubt that he will be favoured with the presence of many friends on the occa sion. The concert will be the 33d Mr. Benedict has given as ono of the annual musical events of London ; and it is a remarkable though melancholy fact that he is now the solo survivor of all the artists who assisted him at his first entertainment. In accordance with orders received at Chatham from the Horse Guards, detachments of the Ist Battalion of theist Royals, Ist Battalion of the 15th Regiment, 50th (Queen's 0 wn) Regiment, and 109th Bombay Infantry Regiment, have proceeded from the garrison to the Isle of Grain, for the purpose of being employed with the Royal Engineers on the defences at the confluence of the Thames and Med way.

The Parliamentary committee, to try the merits of the petition presented against the return of Mr. Miles at the last election, assembled to-day in committee-room No. 11 ; Mr. Howes in the chair. The allegations in the petition were bribery and .reating. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. H. James ap peared for the petitioners, and Mr. Giffard, Q C , !or the sitting member. Sergeant Ballantine said he had the honour to appear iu support of the petition of the electors of Bristol, which he believed would be successful, be cause it would not depend upon any accidental circumstances connected with any individual or on auy matters similar to those which had become familiar at Coventry. If his statement wss supported by the evidence he should have to present to the committee, he felt that they would have but little dllliculty iu coming to a de- eision in the matter. He bvlievcd that he should be able to show that the most syste- matic bribery prevailed, and to . such an extent was it carried on that the result of the election was altogether altered from what it would have been had not prevailed. lie had to say, at the outset, that the sitting member was in uo way connected with the charges made in the petition, as he was a gen tleman of position well known in Bristol, and one well calculated to represent efficiently the feeling of the electors in Parliament. Mr. Morley was also a gentliman of great respectability, and also gene rally well known, and in consenting to contest the election for the city, he laid it down that it should be carried on in the fairest manner. This, he con tended, had not been done, but bribery had been CO extensive that the election terminated in direct opposition to the real feeling of the city. The election had become necessary in consequence of the misfortunes of Sir M. I'eto, which had lel to his banKruptcy, and on that gentleman accepting the Chiltern Hundreds the writ was issued, and the election took place on the 21th of April, at which time the number of electors on therelister amounted to 15,000. Mr. Morley, as he had said, was anxious that the election should not be marked by anything that could be considered disgraceful to Bristol, and that the con - test was to be carried on on purity principles. This, however, was not the manner iu which matters were to be conducted o❑ the Conservative side, and from the witnesses he should call it would be seen that the most wholesale c)r ruption had commenced by the supporters of Mr. Miles as early as the nomination day. The town was filled with roughs, and at the close of the poll on the election day the numbers stood for Miles 5,173, Morley 4,977 ; majority for Miles 193. The most wholesale treating had also prevailed, and al though Mr. Morley had refrained from opening any of the publichouses, yet on the part of his opponent every house iu the city was throwu open, and treating was carried on in an unparalleled man ner. Mr. Morley had no. paid canvassers, yet Mr. Miles had no less than 200 cabs, all of which had hii colours flying; and although he did not say they were used to influence the voters carried there, yet it appeared to him the committee. would think that such an arrangement had a most material effect on the election. There were four gentlemen, viz., Dr. Robertson, Mr. Barry, Mr. Allsopp, and Mr. Parson, who were most active in the support of Mr. Miles, the first of whom was chiirman of Mr. Miles's committee, the rest being active members of that body, and they being recognised as his agents. He should show that bribery took place actually in the committee room, and if his learned friend shrunk from putting those gentlemen into the witness-box, the committee would put their own construction upon such a proceeding. In the Coventry case it had been held that bribery so proved was sufficient to invalidate the return, and he had no doubt that he should be able to prove all that he had already stated. According to his in- structions there had been the most wholesale bribery an d treating, and in one particular case that of a body of men called " Border's gang," he should show that they hal each received 10s. apiece, the smallness of the pr:c.3 arising in consequence of their being no demand for their services on the other side. (Laughter.) lie should prove distinctly that these wen were paid after the election in one of Mr. - Miles's c)m mittee rooms. Then there were two men name I Gathercole and Ayres, who had since absconded ; these men were engaged to bribe the vot...rs ia Greenslade's factory, to personate a num'ocr of ab sent voters, and anything more demoralising he (Mr. Sergeant Ballautine) could not ima gine. Another man named Owen, who had taken to flight, also had been most ex tensively engaged in bribing ; and a clerk in Mr. Miles's bank, named Breton, he should show, had bribed over 50 electors. The money was paid after the vote was recorded, and one voter named Ratcliff would state that he went to the committee-room, after he hal given his vote for Miles, and received his money from a young lady named Mary Tanner, who sat in a little room at the back of the committee-room, like our modern barmaids, b_thind a kind of table. (Laughter). This person was the servant of Mr. Miles's proposer. (Laughter.) He should also call other witnesses, whose evidence he believed would leave little doubt that all that was alleged in the petition would be clearly and most unmistakably proved. A witness named Woods was then called, and examined at length by Mr. H. James. He stated that he received a sovereign from Mr. Allsop, that he bribed an elector named Cox with 103., and that he afterwards informed Mr. Alisop of the fact, and gave him back the half-sovereign remaining of the money ho had received. He also said that he had made some inquiries respecting the value of some votes by direction of Dr. Robertson, and that on telling him Horder's men would not vote under £1 apiece, the Doctor replied it was too mueb, and that it ought to be done for 10s. each. lie after wards got money from Barry, which he spent in bribing the electors. The Committee adjourned on the Speaker being announced at prayers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL OITTRAGE.—John Brown, a powerful young fellow, was brought up on a warrant charg ing him with assaulting John Gibson with a pick axe. Complainant said—l am a labourer. lam at work with other men in pulling down houses in Talbot-street for the railway.

EU HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATIO/T. Lord CAMPBELL, in whose name the following no tice stood on the paper—" To present a petition fr out Nova Scotia alleging the existence of much discontent in the province with respect to an Act passed last session, under the title of the British North American Act; and to move an humble address to her Majesty, praying her to appoint a commission to proceed to Nova Scotia, for the purpose of examining into the causes of the alleged dissatisfaction with a view to their removal" — said that ho hoped to bring his motion on as early as six o'clock, but it was now considerably later, and as the state of the house did not offer the prospect of u. debate on the subj , ct with the care it required, he should beg to postpone the motion of which he had given notice. He did so with regret, regarding the subjact as one of extreme importance and urgency, but he had the sati -faction of knowing that the grounds on which he did so had the concurrence of the Secretary of State. The Earl of CARNARVON complained of the course taken by the noble lord in giving notion of his motion and then withdrawing it. Surely half-pa:t six was not too late an hour fur entering upon a debate of se much inteeo:::t ❑d importance. Lord CI3I.PBELL assured the noble earl teat ho had been quite as anxious as he himself was to have a discussion on the question, but he could not contend against the diffi culties which the orders of the house opposed to a private niernb., , r in his position on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Lord LYVEDEN said he very much regretted the p)st ponement of the debate, especially because there were gen tlemen now iu this couutry front Nova Scotia who had come over expressly in reference to this question, and who were not likely to b.) gratified at finding that half-past six was too late an hour to take such a discussion in their lord ships' house. It was a question, he considered, of para mount importance, and upon which the continued alk giance of Nova Scotia might depend. lie thought their lordships might have admitted the debate, but as it had been postponed he hoped the noble lord would endeavour to fix some early day for it, when the gentlemen to whom he had referred would not yet have left for America. ;. 1u t • # kJ I 10 iN • NOTICE. The Fourth Elition of " The Sun" of last Evening, con taining the Latest Betting, &c., and Races at Hampton and Newton, was published at 7.30 p.m. DIPERIAL PARL I A MEN HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at fivo o'clock. TILE DESPATCHES FROU ABYSSINIA. Tho Earl of ELLENBOROUGIi said that he wished t..) speak with reference to the despatches from Sir Robert Napier, and declared that he had never read of any cam paiga comparable to the present one silica the passage of a body of troops through a most mountainous n•gion of India. Ile c,nasidered that the highest hoeiours Should be bestowed upon the officers of our a."ily, who had performed their duty without fear or reproach—rhear, hear) - and who were an honour to our country. (Cheers.) The amount of value which was attached to the operations during the campaign were more appreciated by foreign countries than by ourselves, and he trusted that the Government would show that the de svrving soldiers should receive the highest military honours. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the noble earl had a perfect right, from his great military experience, to address the house on the subject, but he must remember that this was a nation of routine, and that it was impossible to go beyo.td what they had dune. Ho would give the greatest honour to all concerned. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that ho thought they ought to be careful in instituting precedents. The subject then dropped. THE FORESHORE AND BED OF THE SEA. The Duke of .ARGYLL said that he wished to call the attention of the House to a memorandum as to the Board of Trade's dealings with the foreshore and bed of the sea. He said that the point which he wished to in vestigate was the point that the ownership which was limited on the part of the Crown was to be made ab3olute. The noble duke spoke of the disadvantages of giving licenses by the Board of Trade with regard to taking soil from the foreshore of the tea. THE IRISH CHURCH. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on that day week, on the motion for the second reading of the Sus pensory Bill relating to the Irish branch of the Established Church, ho should move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COAINIONS—LAsT EVENING. PUBLIC BUS [NESS. Mr. M. GIB3ON wished to call the attention of the house to the present arrangements of public business. At one time it was said by the right boa. gentleman that the first business to be disposed of was the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills and the Boandary Bill ; and now, before that was carried out., two bills of considirable importance, viz., the. Foreign Cattle Market Bill and the Electric Tele graphs Bill, were iatorposed, both of wuich seemed likely to give rise to a very animated debate. Mr. DISRAELI said ho certainly did place the public busi ness in the order referred to by the,hou. member for Ashton; that of course was necessary in order to facilitate business, and he thought ho was justified in &tying that consider able progress had been made, so that the two other bills might be taken into consideraton, as it was extremely desirable to have an expression of the feeling of the house upon those measures. Under tt 030 circumstances he hoped the hon. gentleman would nut offer any impedi - meat to considering, as had been arranged, the two bills he had mentioned—viz., the Foreign Cattle Market Bill and the Electric Telegraphs Bill. Ho hoped therefore there would be a condensation of thought - (laughter)— on the subject, and that they would dispose of the matter without any unnecessary delay. Mr. D. G FITH reminded the right hon. gentleman that he had not said a word about the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill. Mr. DISRAELI said ho undoubtedly promised to pro ceed with that bill after the supplementary Reform Bills and the Boundary Bill were disposed of. He thought they had better clear the paper before they began to make further arrangements. IRISH REFORM BILL. The house then went into com:nittee on this bill. Mr. DISRAELI said ho took that the first o2portunity of stating that with respect to the postponed "clauses 10, 11, 12, he did not on the part of the Government offer needless obstacles, therefore he should move that they bo expunged. (Hear, hear.) Ou clause 10 being proposed, Mr. PIM moved to leave out from " boroughs" to end uf clause, and insert " borough of Portarlington shall cease to return a member to serve in Parliament, and the boroughs of Downpatrick, Dungannon, Kinsale, Mallow, and Bandon shall cease to have the right to take part in the election of member a of Parliament, otherwise titan as forming part of a district of boroughs in manner herein after provide'." After a short discussion, the clause was withdrawn. The remainder of the night was occupied in the discus sion of new clauses. The first controversy which arose was ou a new clause moved by Mr. C. Fertescue to group the Queen's University with the University of Dublin for election purposes. it was objected to by Lord Mayo on the ground that it was not possible for these two bodies to amnalg tmate, and th it both were equally averse from it. Replying to some statistics quoted by Mr. Furfescue as to the paucity of the publin University constituency, Lord Mayo mentioned that in the Irish Registration Bill a change would be made which would add considerably to the number of electors. Tho Attorney-General for Ireland also opposed the conjunction on behalf of his constituency ; while Mr. Gregory strenuously supported it, as the first stop towards breaking up the exclusive character of the University representation. On a division the clause was rejected by 183 to 173. Mr. FA.WCETT, in order to provide a separate and independent member for the Queen's University, moved to disfranchise the smallest borough in Roland—Portar lington ; which Lord Mayo opposed on the ground that the house had already determined not to deal with Redis tribution in the bill. On a division Mr. Faweett's clause was rejected by 210 to 55. A clause brought up by Sir C. O'Lo,glilen to disfranchise all Irish freemen its futuro, saving existing rights, gave rise to a long and lively discussion, which was mainly a reproduction of the arguments used last year, when a similar clause was moved in the English bill. It was zealously supported by Mr. Gladstone, and the claims and merits of the freemen class 'of voters were espoused with equal warmth by Mr. Henley. Oa a division the clause was rejected by 153 to 109. The sharpest struggle of the evening was on Colonel French's amendment to reduce the county franchise from £l2 to £3 rateable value. In support of it Colonel French entered at length into the rating arrangements of Ireland, to show that the reduction ho proposed would about equalise the county franchise in all the three kingdoms. Lord MAYO, iu objecting to the amendment, rested on the fact that the Government scheme of Reform placed the county franchise on the same footing in all the three king dords, though Ireland had anticipated England and Scot land by some years in adopting the figure of £l2. There was nothing, he urged, in the circumstances of Ireland to justify this further reduction, fur it was absolutely certain that in a very short time there must be an alteration iu the system of valuation in Ireland which would completely assimilate the basis of valuation in all the three countries. The proportion of the number of county voters to the population by the bill would be about the same in Ireland as in England and Scotland. Mr. OSBORNE, designating the bill as an igeis fatuus and a farce, made light of this or any other reduction of ,ho county franchise, unless accompanied by the protec ion of the ballot. Between the landlord and the priest be franchise would be a curse to the tenant without a lease. Mr. GREGORY took the same view of the effect of the amendment. It would not strengthen public opinion, but would hand over the counties more completely to the in fluence of a certain number of great landlords. Mr. GLADSTONE dwelt bn the importance of observ ing a certain proportion in the Reform arrangements for the three counties, and argued that, if this bill passed in its present form, the franchise, both iu town and county, would be left at a higher point in Ireland than in the other two countries. In fact, a bill of so limited a scope, adding only 9,000 to the borough voters, could not be said to dis pose of the subject of Irish Reform. Lord Mayo's as sumption that an assimilation of the county franchise would bo speedily brought about by a revision of the Irish system of valuation he treated as completely illusory, and he remin led the house that in 1830 it had accepted an £8 franchise for Ireland with the approval of Sir R. Peel. Mr. SYNAN and Mr. O'REILLY supported the amendment, and Lord J. BROWNE suggested in vain a compromise of £lO. On a division the amendment was rejected by 211 to 205, and the Miuisterialists saluted their fourth and greatest victory of the night with enthusiastic cheering. Dr. BRADY, who had a clause on the paper to apply vote by ballot to Irish elections, being unwilling to bring it on at so late an hour (12.45), moved to report progress, but he was beaten on a division by 289 to 79. Still refusing to go on, a motion was made that the chairman leave the chair, and Mr. Disraeli, With the view to finishing the committee on the bill, offered to give Dr. Brady the opportunity of raising the que . stion oa the re port. Dr Buttly himself was willing and anxious to accept the arrangement, but other Irish members protested that no bettor opportunity would occur for settling the ques tion than the present, and ultimately Sir J. Gray took on himself to move Dr. Brady's clause. After wasting nearly half an hour in discussing whether to go on or not, the house divided on the clause, an I it was negatived by 225 to 126. This concluded the business of the committee, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Monday. The Scot:h Reform Bill, after being recommitted forthe insertion of some verbal amendment; was read a third time and r assed. Some other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed at half-past 2 o'clock. LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF CONDIONS—Tnis EVENING. There not being 40 members present at four o'clock, ,he house adjourned until Monday. THE RISK ALL IH CASE. coußr OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

THE GREAT HANDEL FESTIVAL- This Day. The performance of Israel in Egypt at the Crystal Palace to-day attracted an immense at tendance. The magnificent oratorio formed a glorious conclusion to the great Triennial Festival, and the splendour of its performance, up to the time of our report leaving, was beyond all description. The choruses produced the greatest impression, and altogether Friday's performance may be consi dered one of the most wonderful of the very re markable three days' performances. The attendance amounted to nearly 25,000. LONDON GAZETTE-THIS EVENING. WAR-OFFICE, PALL-MALL, JUNE 19.
