Ristori's farewell performance in America was to be at an "Elizabeth" matinee at New York on June 27. During her two seasons in America she has given 295 entertain ments and 57 in Cuba, in which sho appeared as Elizabeth 90 times, Mary Stuart 67, and Marie Antoinette 62. Her first and only appearance in a French play was in a little comedy at Brooklyn, on Wednesday evening, Juno 24, in which her son and daughter performed with success. Parepa was greeted with a very warm reception by the musicians of San Francisco on her arrival in that city. The dinner given to the 10th Company of Royal Engineers on their return from Abyssinia was not at the exclusive cost of the officers of that corps at Chatham. but was given by the officers and non-commissioned officers, which latter body subscribed the greater part of the amount.

Their lordships sat for a short time at noon to-day. The Scotch Reform Bill was brought up from the Lower House t , and a report was received announcing that the House of Commons did not insist upon the amendment they had inserted upon the Lords' amendments. The Larceny Bill was brought up from the Commons and read a fn st time. Their lordship then adjourned at a quarter after twelve o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. Tiro LOP.n Ca.a.scELLon took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE ESTABLISHED CHURCII (IRELAND) BILL COMMISSION. Lord DUFFERIN inquired when the report of the Commission of the Established Church (Ireland) would Le laid before the house? The Earl of STANIIOPE said that he thought that the question was rather premature, and that it was dictated by a party spirit rather than otherwise. The report might or might not be ready i❑ the course of two or throe weeks. It was a difficult matter to decide when there wero per sons on the committee ernbued with so many different opinions on the subject. The matter then dropped. SIR ROBERT NAPIER. The Earl of MALMESBURY raised the question that the Queen's message with regard to Sir Robert Napier be received, and that a humble adlress be forwarded to her Majesty assuring her Majesty that the house would adopt the suggestion contained in the Royal Message. The Earl of LEVEN and MELVILLE regretted that the vote of £2,000 per annum was not extended to three lives, as was the usual practice in the case of such distin guished officers. The address to her Majesty, assuring hor of the co-ope• ration of the house, was then adopted. THE REGISTRATION OF THE PEOPLE (SCOT. LAND) BILL. The Earl of MALISIESBURY said that it was greatly to be regretted that an amendment such as had been men tioned last night, when ho introduced the course of the business of the house should have been introduced, after it was generally understood that the matter was defini tively settled. He therefore trusted that that amendment would be rejected by both sides of the house. (Bear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL said that, after reflecting upon the amendment, he must certainly support the opinion of the noble earl opposite and the Government in this matter. After a few remarks from the Lord Chancellor, the house unanimously disagreed with the amendment made by the House of Commons. The Prisons (Scotland) Administrations Act and the Petroleum Bill were read a third Lima and pissed. NEW ZEALAND LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. ADMIRALTY SUITS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT. This bill was withdrawn. LODGERS' PROPERTY PROTECTION BILL. This bill was withdrawn. The Children Protection bill was also withdrawn. STATUES IN WESTMINSTER HALL. Lord HARDINGE asked a question according to notice with regard to the statues in Westminster-hall. He con sidered them vulgarly inferior as far as works of art wore concerned, and did not do any credit to the artist who designed them. He would therefore ask what would be done with them ? The Earl of MALMESBURY sad that he was in hopes that the noble lord was about to suggest some place where they could go to. He must say that they were to some extent wandering statues. (Laughter.) They had been in the Royal Gallery, but that receptacle was so full that they could not remain there, and therefore they had been placed in Westminswr Hall. Lord REDESDALE suggested that they should be dusted once a week. He had no doubt this would be a great improvement. (Laughter.) The subject then di opped, and their lordships adjourned HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. PAYMENT OF RATES. Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of Government to bring in a bill this or next session to give effect to the recommendations agreed to by the right honourable gentleman and a majority of the select committee on Poor Rate Assessment, viz., that so much of any public or local act as permits composition for rates in other than Parliamentary boroughs should be repealed, and that all local rates should be merged into one (consolidated) rate, to bo assessed and collected together, so as to make the future Parliamentary franchise for boroughs dependent upon the payment of all or any local rate other than the poor rate, as is now the statutory qualification by the Re form Act of 1867. Mr HARD Y said ho was hardly in a position to give an answer to the question at the present time. Personally ho was of opinion that all rates should be merged and collected by instalments ; what effect that would have on the franchise ho could not say. _ _ LAND DRAINAGE BILL. This bill passed through committee. COLONIAL GOVERNORS' PENSION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PROMISSORY OATHS PILL. This bill was also road a third time and passed. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS (SA LARIES) BILL. The house then went into committee, when the pro posals of the bill were agreed to. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 10, which was struck out on the motion of the Solicitor-Cienoral. The three following clauses were agreed to. On clause 14 being proposed, Mr. DISRAELI moved the amendment with respect to the mode of trial of election petitions, which he ex plained last evening, and which it will b 3 recollected was that one of the judges of each of the superior courts of common law should be selected at Michaelmas term to try election petitions standing for trial, and also the appoint ment of three new judges, the salaries of £5OO each having been agreed to in the former bill. Mr. AYRTON objected that the amendment, which in fact contained nine separate clauses, should be disposed of in a lump. Each sub-section, he considered, ought to be taken separately. No objection being made to such a proposal, the first section, which was as follows, was then put : —" The trial of every election petition shall be conducted before a puisne judge of one of her Majesty's superior courts of cpmmon law at Westminster, to be selected from a rota to be formed as hereinafter mentioned." Mr. MONSELL proposed that the words "or Dublin" be inserted after the word " Westminster." Mr. DISRAELI said there was no objection to apply the provisions of the bill to Ireland and Scotland. He did not think an addition to the judges would be required either in Inland or Scotland; but if the amendment of the hon. gentleman opposite were agreed to, it would be necessary to remodel the whole bill. If the bill passed through committee he would see whether a clause could not be introduced at the end to carry out such a proposal. A discussion ensued, during which Mr. BOUVERIE at tacked the provisions of the bill ; and Mr. HUGESSEN said he hoped the measure would not be imperilled by the raising of a Scotch or Irish debate. Mr. DISRAEL I expressed his opinion that the speech of the hon. member for Kilmarnock was an attempt to ge t rid of the bill by a side-wind movement. Mr. AIONSELL said he would rest content with the proposal of the right hon. gentleman, and withdrew his amendment. Mr AYRTON objected to the judges being allowed to choose the one to try election petitions. He thought they ought to try election petitions just as they would ordinary cases on circuit, as they would be on the _spot with the bar in attendance. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said if the whole of the judges were to be called upon to try election petitions, they would have to give each, instead of three, the gratuity of .£5OO. lie could see no valid reason why the judges should not be allowed to select from themselves who was to try the election petitions. The objection to him appeared to be groundless, and therefore he hoped it would be withdrawn. The amendment was ultimately rejected without a division. Mr. AYRTON then moved an amendment to the second section, the effect of which was that all the judges should be called upon to perform the duty in turn instead of three being selected for the special purpose. He also further proposed to amend the section by making it compulsory that proceedings should bo commenced on all petitions within two months after they had been presented. Tho committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment l4B Against it „. . 83 Majority against the amendment —.-65 On the amendment being put for the appointment of three additional puisne judges, it contained a proviso that neither of the additional judges should be eligible to try election petitions until he had been on the bench two years. Mr. AYRTON moved to omit the words relative 'to the additional judges having to remain two years before they were thought eligible to try election petitions. lie thought it would be a reflection on the judges that were to be appointed, that they should be looked upon as incompetent until they had gone through a purification extending over two years. (Hear hear.) It was almost as extraordinary as the purification that Ives required to turn a Mahomedan into a Brahmin, which was that the Mahomedan .was required to be placed in a jar of - oil for Who days, situ' wltiolt time when ho came out he was to be considered a Brahmin. (Loud laughter.) Mr. DISRAELI had no objection to the words objected to being struck out, which, having been done, the section was agreed to. Mr. AYRTON then moved the following as au amend ment to Clause 14 :—"No court or judge shall call in ques tion, or suffer to bo called in question, in any proceedings under this Act, any resolution or order of the House of Commons touching the privileges of the House, or of any member thereof, or the duties of any returning officer, or of any officer of the House of Commons." The SOLICITOR-GENE ft.A.L opposed it. The Committee divided, when there appeared For the amendment 53 Against it Majority against the amendment... 132 On the question that clause 15 stand part of the bill, The committee again divided, when there appeared— For the clause 174 Against it • 54 Majority in favour of the clause —l2o Clause 16 was agreed to. On clause 17 being proposed, Mr SANDFORD moved that the following be added to the clause :—"ln every case when a member for a county or borough may be unseated for corrupt practices, then and in every such case a commission shall be issued according to the provisions of the Act of the Session of the fifteen.h aad sixteenth years of the reign of her pre sent Majesty, intitled An Act to provide for more effec tive inquiry into the existence of Corrupt Practices at elections of m )mbers to serve in Parliament,' for the pur pose of inquiring into the prevalence of corrupt praclices in such county or borough ; and the exponses of such commission and such inquiry shall be defrayed by the county or borough to which such commission shall be issued." The house was occupied with the con3ideration of the provisions of the bill up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock. At the evening sitting, after a short conversation be tween Mr. Blake and Lord Mayo about the dietary in Irish workhouses, of the insufficiency of which Mr. Blake com plained, though the Irish Secretary maintained that it was more wholesome and nutritious than in English work houses, The Scotch Reform Bill was returned a second time from the Lords, and Mr. M'Laren not insisting on the amendment which ho inserted on Thursday, and with which the Lords disagreed, the bill may be considered as finally settled. Some other business was disposed of, and The House adjourned at half-past two o'clock. . -...,~ sy MINING IN7 ELLIG ENCE. The Grass Valley Consolidated Mining Company is about to be offered to the English public. The property is situated in Nevada county, California. It was formerly known as the claims of Doran, Murphy, and Co., and Bulger and Co., and is now named after the district in which it is situated, one well known in California for the richness of its gold-bearing quartz, having within the last 14 years yielded the sum of £4,600,000. The lode ex tends about 2,300 feet in length, averaging two in width, and probably, judging from the work ing of the adjoining mines, of more than 900 feet in depth. The vein has been worked to a depth of 186 feet, several shafts and tunnels, and two inclines having been sunk. Iron tramways are in operation, supplied with iron cars and hoisting and pumping works with all the gear necessary for keeping the mine dry, and bring ing ores to the surface. The works, are enclosed in substantial buildings, with an engine of 30-horse power. A 12-stamp mill is in course of erection, all the machinery being complete, except boilers and engines, which have alone to be supplied to bring the mine into a dividend-paying property. Several hundred tons of ore have been crushed, and have proved almost similar to that of the adjoin ing Eureka vein, the belief being that it is in fact the same which has proved one of the most successful of the Californian mines, having yielded in 19 months £177,000. The property is to be surrendered to the company for the sum of £65,000 cash, 3,500 fully paid-up shares, and £lO,OOO for the plant. The balance of £15,000, as the mine is almost in working order, is considered ample for the working capital. The novelty of the scheme consists in a guarantee to the shareholders of 5 per cent, for 33 years secured on Consols, India Five per Cents., Russian, French, United States 10-40's, &c., selected to yield an aggregate interest equal to 5 per cent. on the £90,000 placed in the hands of trustees. Share warrants to bearer will be issued, each guaranteed a minimum annual dividend of 5 per cent. for the above period, unless the whole of the paid-up capital shall have been sooner repaid in dividends out of the profits. Thus it is proposed to give the investor under any circumstances an annuity equal to an investment in the funds, to gether w►th the speculative interest in the mine, which the directors consider to be in the highest degree promising. Francis Baldwin, Esq., is the secretary pro tent, and the temporary offices are at 1, Finsbury-circus, London. IDAHO.-Owyhee Avalanche, May 2—George Collier Robbins is organizing a company to tunnel IVar Eagle Mountain, and already $llO,OOO has been subscribed towards the enterprise by the chief mine and quartz mill owners and business men in. Owyhee. He will start for New York in a short time to compl e t e th e org anization of th e com p any . The tunnel will tap the mines at from 300 to 1,500 feet depth. Territorial Enterprise, May 16—From the office of Wells, Fargo, and Co., in this city, there were shipped during the past week, 5,214 pounds of assayed bullion, valued at $136,038.53 ; from the office of Wells, Fargo, and Co., Gold Hill, 4,563 pounds, valued at $128,243.42. The Mining and Scientific Press says :—" The prospect now is that a company of English capi talists will soon have an agent at Manhattan, who will commence extensive operations there. Mr. Baner arrived here during the week, and is now engaged in surveying timber lands, water privi leges, &c., in the district for the benefit of the com pany. Mr. J. H. Boult, a well-known mining engineer, will shortly arrive and report upon the property." LuNDON GAZETTE-LAST EVENING. WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 7.
