ADVAN CAGES of the READY-MONEY SYSTEM cannot be better expressed than in the following extract from a leading article in the " Times :" " Everybody knows the difference between a credit and a ready-money business. It is this partly which affords one tailor the excuse for charging £7 is. for a coat while another will charge £4 4s. . . It is true that every tradesman ought to abate his charges to customers who pay him punctually. Still we know how in this particular we all suffer for a few delin quents." A LL GOODS MARKED in PLAIN FIGURES 2111, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1868. The war of words and personal explanations which has been waged so fiercely in the House of Commons this session has now, it would seem, been transferred to the Upper House, which can no longer boast of its dignity, its serenity, or its mode ration. Last night, upon the renewal of the angry dispute of Thursday evening, the Marquis of SALISBURY excited much amusement by remarking that he had been told when he entered that House that he would find the atmosphere one of temperate and dignified serenity, but that he thought it was warmer work than in the House of Commons. The epithets which were freely circulated last evening were such as are not often heard in either House of the English Parliament, and when we consider that the whole question at issue may be really called a trifling one, the gravity with which the Opposition has invested it appears singularly exaggerated. Tho point in debate is whether or no certain districts shall be added to the boroughs of Birkenhead and Birmingham:l, and it is somewhat curious to find the party which has hitherto been arguing for the extension of the suffrage so eager to exclude a few thousand fresh electors from the register! Earl BEAUCHAMP, in moving his amendment to clause 4 of the Boun dary Bill, cited the case of Birmingham as that with which he was most familiar. Birmingham itself is in the county of 'Warwickshire, but imme diately adjoining it are the districts of Aston and Balsall Heath, which the Commissioners proposed to add to it, one of which is in Worcestershire and the other in Staffordshire; but, as Lord BEACHAUMP observed, it is impossible for any one not well ac quainted with Birmingham to say where it ends or where it begins. Lord EVERSLEY indeed declares that the township of Aston was as much a part of Birmingham as Piccadilly is a part of London. The decision of the House of Commons we might have supposed would incline to the side which would create most electors, and if Aston were trans ferred to the borough, instead of being kept as part of the county, about 3,000 persons would be enfranchised. Earl RUSSELL, however, seems to have taken up a crotchet, and all his associates follow suit. They choose to accept the doctrine that the Ifouse of Lords is pledged to abide by the decision of the House of Commons, and that the casual words of the Prime Minister in reference to the business of the House of Commons were to be accepted as a solemn and definite pledge as to the whole bill. We are not surprised that Mr. Dis- RAELI should have written a few lines to the Earl of MAL3fESBURY, expressing his unmeasured asto nishment at the state of affairs in the Lords. The right hon. gentleman refers to his own words in answer to a question as to the pro,gress of public business. "I was answering an inquiry as to the prospects of business in that House, and in esti mating them I mentioned that certain measures, though they had not formally passed the House of Commons, might be considered virtually settled— that is to say, would lead in the House of Commons to no further debate or division." In this light no doubt the words were understood by every one who heard them. It remained for Earl RUSSELL to put them forward as a definite engagement, pledging the Government in the House of Lords to permit no further discussion on the clauses of the Boundary Bill. In the same sense the debate on the Suspen sory Bill in the Upper House should not have been allowed, since the House of Commons undoubtedly expressed its opinion pretty plainly on the question. The mutual recriminations indulged in last evening were not very creditable to either side, and in fact it descended to something very like personal abuse. When we find the sedate and courteous Lords mea suring each other's intellects, and talking about each other's tempers, we may well exel Lim with Lord SALISBURY that we are getting into warm latitudes. The noble marquis ma le a very sen sible suggestion, which, however, the res t of the house was too much excited to listen to. The matter was one, he said, which belonged to the House of Commons, and that the House of Commons was perfectly compe tent to act for itself. But this suggestion did not suit the excited vision of the noble lords, and Earl RUSSELL seriously believes that by his hasty retreat on Thursday evening he prevented " a great colli sion " between two of the estates of the realm. The actual fact of the matter is, that he has succeeded still further in impeding the course of public busi ness, already sufficiently retarded by the action of. his party in the Commons ; and there is some risk of his interfering altogether with the plan of an autumnal session. To enable Parliament to meet again in December it is necessary that the Scotch Reform Bill and the Boundary Bill shall receive the Royal assent by Friday next, so that the claims for registration sh,uld be put in by the 20th of this month. The awkward interregnum occasioned by this ghost of Lord RUSSELL'S evoking has therefore put a need less obstacle and cause of delay in the path of pub lic business ; and we cau only regret, while so much remains to be done, aad must, we fear, b 3 left un done, that two whole evenings should have been thus profitlessly occupied by speeches better left unsaid. As it is, the Government is forced to ap peal to the private members, iaclu iing Earl BEAUCHAMP, not to press the arnendia3nt, for which they have given notice to these two bills, as if they do the critical time will be lost, and the autumnal session will be rendered impossible. The Opposition by their vexatious and frivolous con duct have rendered themselves open to the charge of having wilfully delayed a matter which they knew to be of moment. Earl MALMESBURY said their hasty departure reminded him of little boys, when affronted by their playfellows, declaring that they " won't play ;" but in this instance we may rather say that they won't work, or let other people work either. The House of Commons had hard work yester day, and the morning's sitting was entirely taken up by the discussion on the Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE was very much against the measure, and made a long speech on the subject, which set forth a number of argu ments against the scheme. lie wanted a complete change, he said, and not to have one law for the country and another for the town; but this is rather abstract reasoning than practical, because the re quirements of the different places may be very con trary. It is a hobby of Mr. GLADSTONE'S to have as much traffic as possible with foreigners, but be may . go too far in this as in other things, and although it is as well to remove restrictions whenever possible, ex perience has shown that we have not reaped all the benefit expected from the importation of foreign cattle. The right hon. gentleman denied that the cattle plague was imported by the move ment of masses of animals, but it certainly was shown that this was the case in the various details met with some years ago, and the segregating plan was always found to be the most efficacious. When his other arguments and contradictions failed, Mr. GLADSTONE remembered he was a financier, and wound up his diatribe by asserting that the scheme of a separate market would be too expen sive, and, in his favourite dictatorial manner, declared that the House ought to be told exactly how the half million was to be procured. Mr. HENLEY said very truly that Mr. GLADSTONE'S re- liance on the Privy Council for making all the ne cessary changes and regulations was not founded on good security, for the experience of the Cattle Plague had shown that it was often "vacillating when emergency arose, and the final nature of the regulations it made had lessened the home and foreign trade considerably." The right hon. ge n _ tleman also said that London is a central market for cattle, and hence any regulations that were made must affect the whole country. Mr. LowE's speech was much to the point, and he showed the importance of the bill becoming 13. w. Speaking, a s he said, for the Cattle-plague Commissioners, all the evidence that the Commissioners received showed that the rinderpest was " permanently" settled on the Russian steppes ; and, therefore, it was neces sary to guard against its transmission to England, the railway transport enabling the disease to spread with great rapidity in a short space of time. It is much to be regretted that the preju dices of those opposed to this bill could not be altered, and they persevered in their undesirable object of " talking out" the bill, so that no good was effected by the sacrifice of the whole morning sitting. As for the notion that this bill would raise the price of meat, Mr. LOWE said most truly that the "butchers would not have 'de luged every member of Parliament with pamphlets, and beset them in every way possible for nothing. They had retained very able counsel to recommend their view of the whole question, and he was asked to believe that they were doing all this with a view to reduce the price of meat." If it be too late for this session, we believe that the new Par- iiament will i ns i s t on this measure being carried, and very w i se l y too, because it must be better to keep the foreign cattle separated from our own. At any rate it is worth the trial, and it is no exag geration to say that the country has paid a very dear price for the determination of the new school of politicians to have foreign cattle imported so largely. At the evening sitting the subject of the troops in New Zealand was taken up, and several members declared that they should receive a medal. Mr. DISRAELI, in the absence of the Secretary-of-War, said that the matter should be considered by the War-office. The right honourable gentle man commented ou the distinguished services rendered by the troops and the general advantages of recognising the merits of those engaged in " Co lonial cauapaigns." Sir C. O'LOGIILEN made some remarks of a disparaging nature on the case of Mr. PtGorr, and moved that the House pass a resolu tion, to the effect that a writ of error is the right of the subject for the reverse of a judgment in misde meanour, &c. 'The Attorney-General for Ireland quoted many eminent authorities to show that the hon. baronet was quite wrong iu his view of the matter, and Mr. PIGOTT'S case h: id been very care fully examined. The Attorney—General for Eng land confirmed this view, raid said that to pass the resolution would be .quite irrele vant. Finally, the notice vvas withdrawn, and this was the only - remarkable part of it. Another skirmish took p 1 ace, and indeed it would be extremely difficult to point to any night this session when some squabble did not arise at one time or another. The new writ for Bristol was proposed, but delays were en ggested, and Mr. IlowEs, the Chairman of the Committee, and Mr. NEWDEGATE, were against the isauing of the writ, and Mr. BErKELEY declared that, in the present state of feeling in Bristol, the excitement of an election would be most prejudicial in every way, and produce mischief ; and • Mr. N. GRENVILLE therefore withdrew the motion he had made upon the subject. Lord STANLEY replied to Col. SYKES on the subject of the salary of the Envoy to Pekin being put upon the same footing as that of the Buvoy at Japan, and the noble lord explained that such a proposition would not be a tenable one. Our commercial interest is exactly tea times greater in China than in Japan ; and, another thing, China was a more expensive place. The inconvenience of the long morning sittings was seen by the mem bers getting tired, and Mr. DISRAELI said that they were only just commencing public business when progress was proposed to be reported. It is diffi cult to do much at the early part of a session, and this year, of course, it was quite impossible, with one thing and another, so that there is nothing for it but to work night and day till the work is fin ished.

(Before the Lords Justices.) KELLY V. " SPORTING LIFE.." This was a part heard appeal from the judgment of Vice-Chancellor Stuart. It was a claim on the part of the plaintiff of a moiety of the newspaper called the Sporting Life, which was denied by the defendant. The case was a very compli cated one, but Vice-Chancellor Stuart, on the conclusion of the arguments before him, delivered his judgment, which stated that the plaintiff bad established his right to the moiety claimed, and that he was entitled to the decree asked for. From this decision the defendant ap pealed, and the arguments having proceeded to some length on a former occasion, the case stood on the paper for to-day. Sir R. Palmer was in court, but their lordships intimated that they would dis pense with further argument, and, having consi dered the facts already laid before them, they would give their judgment accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. STAMPER V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF SUNDERLAND (Judg m en t.) thee occupier w er of a Reform The Lord Chief Justice gave judgnmeentientrhmis important case to-day, w hich involved a construe- A tio e n t. onThtehe prlplaintiffclawuasees of the loom in a house at Sunderland wholly let out to lodgers. The plaintiff had been sepa rately rated to the poor to the amount of 6s. 5d., the rent of the apartment being £3 10s. per annum, and against this assessment he appealed. His lord ship was of opinion that the house in question came within the definition of a dwelling house let out in s eparate tenements, but the real difficulty was that the apartments were not separately rated before the passing of the Reform Act. The overseers thought that, subse quent to the passing of the Act, they had a right to take them separately, and as a general rule, that the lodger must be considered as the occupier for rating purposes. Prior to the passing of the Small Tenements Act, no person who did not pay his own rates had the power to vote, but the Act of 1867 seemed to alter that state of things entirely. It had been argued on one side that if a person rented a room he was the actual and responsible occupier, and was the person who ought to be rated. His lordship said he could not assent to that proposition, but he must say that the case before the court was one of those exceptions contemplated by the Legis lature ; and that being so, the owner, and not the occupier, was responsible for the rate, and, in the present instance, the rule must be quashed. The other judges concurred. 01ARKE7'S-7 HIS DAY. NEWGATE AND LEADENUALL Meat.—. Lamb has recovered 4d per stone, but other kinds of meat remain as before, and the trade is dull.

The increase was 7.6 per cent. in York shire, 5.5 per cent. in the Northern counties, 6.1 per cont. in the metropolitan district, and 4.2 per cent. in the West Midland district. In the other divisions of England the increase was loss considerable, but in every division the number of paupers was larger than in 1867. BRITISH COLLEGE OF REALTII, EUSTON-ROAD, LONDON.—Healti secured by Merlson's Vegetable Universal Medicines. Read the works of James Morison, the Elygeiet. No Vaccination.—[Advertisement.] CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. ' (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, July 3. - M. Magne was to have followed M. Thiers on the Budget debate on the same evening, but, to the astonish ment of the House, he moved the adjournment—in order to get his figures in order ! If the disorder had been very great, he must have sat up all night, for he made a very fair show the next morning. He confined himself chiefly to his figures, and after having striven to explain the causes which created the difficulty, endeavoured to assure his hearers as to its real nature, alleging that the great trials which had been under gone by the country during the last sixteen years were exceptional. He bantered M. Thiers on his proposal to retain France as the police of Europe, and for wishing to reject the economy proposed by the Budget Commission. It is now probable, I believe, that the debate will flag. M. Tillers weakened the argument of the Opposition by putting forward the alternative of increasing the imposts. The dilemma of reducing armament or increas ing taxation was the safe and proper course. The discre pancy amongst the Opposition speeches, though it is not clear how M. Thiers could help it, will probably enable the Government to escape rather easily. Many of the depu ties who had obtained leave have returned to be present during the debate. In official circles it is rumoured that the Emperor is about to confer on M. Rouher the post of Vice-President of the Privy Council and of the Council of Ministers. The Presse considers this will be a decided step towards constitutional government. The Avenir National thinks such an appointment would have no such tendency, but would be merely the last mark of the Emperor's personal favour. Most people, I fancy, will have some difficulty' in reconciling the premises and conclusions of the Presse. • - An official note published in the 21Ioniteitr states that the cattle disease has completely disappeared from Western Europe, and is dying out in the districts of Central Germany most liable to it. The Minister of Agriculture has therefore re-established complete liberty for the cattle trade on the French frontiers and in all Ulf nods. Count Bismarck, having recovered a little, is anxious to get back to business. The doctors have therefore threatened him with a still more serious attack if his holiday is not considerably prolonged. The cause of his anxiety to return to Berlin, if there be any special cause, is a mystery. The question of the Hanoverian refugees, there is every reason to conclude, has ceased to create any anxiety, and there is nothing special on the Lapis. Of course the project of a South German Confederation is of some consequence, but South Germans do not exert them selves so quickly as to give rise to immediate difficulty. Besides, it is rumoured that Count Bismarck has given his assent to such a confederation ; but this statement, we fancy, requires confirmation. A correspondent of the Independanee Belge gives me same rumour, adding that the Prussian statesman consents to such a confederation, seeing that it must be only terai porary, and might calm France for a time. The scheme of combination follows the fashion of the day. The Statel are to manage their private affairs, and assemble in Pulls,' ment to settle business of general interest. The tele grap hi c c h arges b etween France and England have been reduced. The price is now four francs fortwenty words, increasing at the rate of one franc per five words. A terrible fire at Asnan, in the department of Nibvre, has destroyed no fewer than a hundred and thirty houses. The misery inflicted by this catastrophe is immense. The fire spread so rapidly that furniture and everything else was destroyed ; and only six of the houses were insured. Two women were burned to death, and three men wounded.

"' • A correspondent of the Telegraph says that Prince Milan is guarded night and day by strong detachments of soldiers, and has not been allowed to go out or show him- self in public since his arrival at Belgrade. A pleasant prospect of existence truly ! The meeting of the deputies at Topchider6 was also strongly guarded. The political arrangement entered into vests the regency in the hands of three persons—the Minister of War, who is the leading personage of the triumvirate ; a former agent in Constantinople named Ristich will be second ; and the third seat will be filled by the Minister of Education. All three are spoken of as men of great abilities, but Milivoi, the Minister of War, will have great power, and he is steadfastly opposed to Russian interference. The original plot included the murder of this statesman as well as others. Prince Milan's succession is strictly in accordance with a law passed in 1859, assigning the throne to the family of Prince Michael, first in the direct and then in the collateral line. The full civil allowance will be continued to the new monarch. The crisis in Servia appears to have been surmounted with remarkable rapidity and success. The Prussian Chambers will be convoked in October, and will immediately proceed to deal with the Budget of 1869. Prussia, desiring a port for the North German navy in the Caribbean Sea, has entered into negotiation with Costa Rica for the cession of a town on the Bay of Simon. The Government of Costa Rica, fearing opposition from the United States, has refused to surrender its rights of sovereignty, but will make concessions to facilitate corn. mercial relations with Prussia. Prussia, however, will have the territory or nothing. e'• If rumour be correct, Lord Clarence Paget, now corn. manding the Mediterranean fleet, will be a candidate for parliamentary honours at the general election. It is stated that he has already expressed his desire to return home early in autumn. His time will not have expired, it may be observed, until next spring, and as no other reason suggests itself why he should wish to give up his position, it is asserted that he is anxious to have a seat in the Reformed Parliament. Speculations are made as to who will succeed him. Those who know most about it say Admiral Sir Alexander Milne. The decision of the House of Commons not to issue fresh writ for the city of Briskel will give satisfaction to the country at large. There was no doubt on the rain& of hon. members that the condition of the city was, not such as to m a k e an e l ec ti on a t th e present moment desirable, and when it is remembered that a vast amount of corruption would very likely take place, the decision of the House will no doubt be considered a wise one. This is not the first time that a writ has been suspended for a few weeks prior to a general election. A precedent was set in May 1852, when Lord Mandeville accepted the Chiltern Hundreds whilst member for Bewdley. It was not considered advisable to issue another writ, as Parlia• ment was soon after dissolved, the elections taking place in the following July. Per contra, when Mr. Bernal Osborne resigned his seat for Liskeard in the month of June 1865, just four weeks before the dissolution, a new writ was applied for and granted. Sir Arthur Buller, then M.P. for Devonport, considering that the Cornishmen were more trusty than the fickle dockyarsdmen, gave up hie seat, and became a candidate for the vacancy caused by Mr. Osborne's retirement. A new writ was also issued for Devonport, when Mr. Brassey defeated his opponent, Mr. Fleming, by a majority of 56. Mr. Brassey sat in the House a fortnight, and voted once—on the occasion of the vote of censure on Lord Westbury—when he went into the lobby with Lord Palmerston. At the general election the former decision was reversed, Messrs. Fleming and n Ferrand hung tk9 p9lknaa Piminr NistikL An. R. I t o -I_ -Ii - 1 2 10'171 i O.C.

The Queen, accompanied by several members of her family, visited the camp at Aldershot on Friday, for the third time this year, and reviewed the troops. Her ' Majesty left Windsor Castle in the afternoon, and pro ' ceeded by special South-Eastern train from the Great Western terminus of the royal borough. Travelling over the narrow gauge line vicl, Reading, the train reached the North Camp station about half-past four o'clock. The announcement of the review in the papers, and the promise held out in some quarters that the Duke of Edinburgh and Sir Robert Napier would be of the party, caused an unusual number of visitors to travel from London to the camp. For an hour or two previous to the arrival of the Queen the road from the camp presented a very picturesque appearance as the horse and foot soldiers followed its bends and ascents. They could be seen for miles distant slowly progressing amidst clouds of Aldershot dust. The Queen had to traverse a portion of this highway in coming from the north to the south camp, and the royal carriages and their inmates were not exempt from the universal whitening of dust which was experienced by everybody else. The stragglers along the road, the spectators who were lying under the hedges, amidst the furze and upon the heath, with purple bloom for their pillows, were roused into activity by the appearance of the Queen and the Princesses, and the cus tomary cordial reception greeted them then and during the remainder of their stay. The same remark will apply to the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Wales, the Prince Teck, Prince Louis of Hesse, and Prince Christian, the first three of whom came by express train from Waterloo. They mounted as usual outside the station, were met by Lieutenant-General Sir J. Yorke Searlett and his staff, and rode off at once to the scene of action. There the troops were drawn up ready to receive them, the artillery to the right, the infantry to the left, the cavalry in the rear ranks. About five o'clock a royal salute was fired from the distant camp limits, and the dragoon escort soon after wards appeared, heralding the three carriages containing the royal party. The first was occupied by the Queen, Princess. Helena, and Princess Alice, the second by Princess Louise and Princess Leiningen, and the third by the ladies-in-waiting. The Duke of Edin burg and the hero of the Abyssinian war were not present, much to the disappointment of those who had, without sufficient reason, built upon their coming. The Queen, who, as on other recent public appearances, delighted the spectators by her evident good health and spirits, at once drove in front and rear of the troops, and, returning, took up a position for the march past. The band of the Life Guards was stationed opposite, and a troop of the same regiment was the guard of honour. It is unnecessary to say that the marching was superb, that the horses and guns, the officers and men, were such As people might with justifiable pride refer to as "ours* The scene was imposing, as only military displays in which all branches of the service are blended can be, and was enjoyed in the glorious summer day by some thousands of persons. The bayonets sparkled, the helmets and cuirasses shone dazzlingly; the flags, although torn and tattered, could not but look bright under so golden a sun shine, and the ever-changing colours that went by the saluting flag had a groundwork of blossoming heath, and a background of taint blue haze simmering between them and the hills. After the march past a few movements were gone through, but they were hardly worthy of being considered a sham fight, as none of the infantry were engaged. The cavalry were thrown out, and the horse artillery were pushed forward towards the Long Valley. The guns fired a few rounds, and the cavalry wheeling to the left charged up the valley in splendid style. The troops that remained then returned to camp, some of the heavier regiments having left as soon as the march past was over, Ihe Queen and the Prin cesses went to the pavilion, and after resting for about half an hour drove to Windsor by the usual route. Both in the camp, along the road, and in the villages through which they passed, crowds of persons were waiting to we. come them. CONVOCATION. Both Houses met on Friday. In the Upper House it was agreed to memorialise the Queen to grant permission to the Archbishop to dilcct a larger representation of the clergy in the Lower House, there being no statute to the contrary. At present the representatives of the capitular bodies and ex officio members outnumber the elected portion of the House. In the Lower House committees were appointed to promote the authorisation of the use of a harvest service, and to consider the marriage law in reference to the remarriage of divorced per sons. Archdeacon Denison presented a gravamen, signed by twenty-eight members of the House, complain ing of the bill before Parliament for abolishing church rates, and urging the bishops to resist it. The debate on the address sent down from the Upper House, praying her Majesty not to assent to the disestablishment of the Irish Church, was resumed by Canon Selwyn, who moved to add to it that the Lower House strongly feels the peculiar difficulties of the Irish Church, and would gladly witness the adoption of well-considered measures fur the solution of those difficulties. This was seconded by Canon Woodgate, but was opposed by Archdeacon Denison because of its vagueness. The Dean of Ely,while protesting 'against the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church, was favourable to such reforms in it as would make it more 'suitable to the circumstances of the country. He supported the addition, if only to remove an impression which might else obtain out of doors, that Con vocation would resist any change. After a discussion the amendment was agreed to. The Dean of Westminster moved, that in the opinion of the House and many eminent statesmen the Roman Catholic religion ought to be endowed and recognised as in other European countries ; but after giving his reasons in support he withdrew it. An address to the Queen to autho rise a reform in the constitution of the Lower House by increasing the number of elected members to 104, and giving the right to vote for them to all beneficed clergy. men and licensed curates of non-resident incumbents, was adopted, but with an alteration extending the right of voting to all licensed priests, which was carried by 28 to 13. Canon Seymour submitted a resolution, thanking the Upper House for communicating the report of the committee as adopted by the Upper House on the Natal question, together with their lordships' judgment, that the Church as a spiritual body might rightly accept the validity of the sentence passed on Dr. Colenso, and declaring the concur rence in their lordships' judgment. The Rev. J. Bram. s tone seconded it. The Dean of Westminster held that • as the Church of England only existed as a spiritual body, in connection with its legal status and organisation, they were not in a position to declare that the Bishop of Natal had been rightly deposed while such strong doubts existed as to the legality of the deposition. The opinions of the bishops were vague and indefinite, excep't the Bishop of London, who considered the deposition illegal, and gave reasons for his opinion. Canon Blakesley moved an amendment that they should accept the bishops' com munication with thanks, but express no opinion upon it. This the Dean seconded, but after a discussion it was put and lost, the original motion being carried. The Rev. J. W. Joyce moved that the House do not agree in the arguments of the Bishop of L( n, in dissenting from the conclusion of the other bishops; but at the suggestion of several members this was not passed. It however, elicited from Canon Blakesley, Archdeacon Harvey, Archdeacon Kaye, and some others, an expres• sion of sympathy in the Bishop of London's views. Ultimately the thanks of the House were voted to the Upper House for sending down his lordship's protest and reasons. The remainder of the busines> was merely formal, and at six o'clock the House adjourned. IXDL4. We glean the following items of intelligence from the Times of India down to the 9th of June : The London mail of 15. h May arrived in Bombay har bour on the sth inst., Iwo days and a half before the con tract time. A wing of her Majesty's 45th Regiment and a battery of Artillery have arrived in Bombay from Annesley Bay, and other troops of the Abyssinian expedition are hourly expected.

Her Majesty, accompanied by their Royal High' nesses Princess Louise and Prince Leopold, wept out this morning. Princess Beatrice rode in the Home Park. The Duke of Elinburgh left the Castle this morning for Lonlon. Lieut.-General Sir Robert Napier arrived at the Castle yesterday, and had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Rval Family. The Prince ef Wales went to Aldershot yes' terday, and was present at the review held by the Queen. The Princess of Wales drove out yesterdah accompanied by the Crown Prince of Denmark. I❑ the evening his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark took leave of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and left Marlborough House for Dover en route to the Continent. QUEEN'S THEATRE. The new and original three-act drama, entitled "Time and the Hour," despite the heat of the weather, attracted a very fashionable audience last evening. It improves on acquaintance, and al" though we could have wished the joint authors Mr. Palgrave Simpson and Mr. Felix Dale had infused a little more activity into the piece, yet the fact of getting an original play is quite sufficient to forgive any shortcomings. The story told in the three acts is that of a roue and forger, Philip Dal ton, who, after disappearing for 10 years, turns up as a model country gentleman, Sir Philip Daverell, and who by the goodness of his outward acts becomes a magistrate, and, in fact, the chief personage of the district in which be resides. The old crime, however, is revived by certain inquiries being made relative to the two forged bills, and a former associate et the now wealthy man attempts a recognition, but he is coolly repulsed by Sir Philip, who denies all knowledge of ' him. The banker on whom the forgeries have been committed entrusts the bills to his son to convey to the police, and Sir P. Daverell, who has become a welcome visitor at the banker's house, sets out with the young man for London. 00 the road the forger murders the•banker's son, but is foiled in his purpose of obtaining possession of the bills, as they have been for safety, and unknown to Sir Philip, entrusted to other hands. The murder is attempted to be fixed on an innocent man, but as old clerk in the banking-house sets about dis covering the assassin. His inquiries keep Si r Philip in such a state of mental excitement that he is compelled to resort to opiates to obtain rest ; and it is during a fit of somnambulism, to which be has become subject, that he reveals the whole of his crimes in the presence of all those he has so deeply wronged, and only awakes to fall to the ground lifeless. Mr. Wigan sustained the part of Sir Philip in his own effective style. Every phase of the part is vividly realised, and the smooth ex terior of the guilty conscience is pourtrayed in the most artistic manner. Mr. Toole sustains a lively character in the play as a retired London trades' man,who,with his better half, is enjoying his otiu cum dignitate in the country. Of course, this affords scope for more fun, especially as the nervous little man becomes for a time the possessor of the stolen bills. Miss Melly Moore also has an excellent part in the piece, which of course she sustains with the greatest effect; the other characters being well sup" ported by Messrs. L. Brough, Stephens, Clayton, and Murray. The piece has been most elaborately mounted, the scenery rivalling in beauty anything that has yet been produced at any of the metro politan theatres, and altogether an entertain►nent is uow being given at this very elegant theatre 00 is worthy the most 'extensive patronage. ROI AL AMPHITHEATRE, HOLBORN. An entertainment of no ordinary kind is no' attracting very large audiences to this very popular place of amusement—it is the performance of Mr . Samwell's troupe of performing dogs, which eel' tainly exceed anything of the kind hitherto pre sented to the public. Mr. Samwell's dogs, unlike the usual " trained" animals, do not crouch and walk about as if all spirit had been beaten out of them, but frisk and run the circle with the greatest glee. The performance consists of jumping, dancing, skipping, tumbling, and many other pranks, which call forth enthusiastic applause ; one particularly " funny dog" is mos t amusing, as he insists upon performing every trick accomplished by the others, but in his own peculiar, comic manner. He acts as " Mr. Merrieman" to the others, and excellently well he plays his part. Th e , other entertainment s , em b racing the wonderful performance of Azella, the lady gymnast, on the flying trapeze, Dl. Agouste, the juggler, an d the Chinese fete, are of the greatest excellence ; an d altogether the entertainment given by the directors of the establishment, Messrs. Charman and M'Cul lum, is one of the best of its kind, and far exceeds anything that has been presented to the public for a very long time. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LON DON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER R.,4IL WAY.-(THIS DAY) This (Saturday) morning, about nine o'clock, the passengers travelling in one of the Great Northern trains on the London, Chatham, and Dover line were thrown into a state of the greatest excite tnent, in consequence of the following deplorable occurrence :—lt appears that one of the guards, named Eiver, who had charge of the train, wag standing outside his break-carriage at the Borough' road station, and it seems that his attention was momentarily directed to a band of music in the street just in front of the station, and before be had time to enter his van the train started, and OA poor fellow's head came in contact with the gear sup porting the bridge. The .consequence was that his head was literally torn to pieces. The officers of the company ran to the assistance of the unfortunate man, and he was at once removed to the hospitals but it is reported by the servants of the company that he died before reaching that institution. The de ceased is describei by his fellow-servants to have been a very sober man, and one who well under stood his business, and they attribute the melancholy event simply to his attention having been for 5 few seconds directed from his regular duty by the music in the street. Such an effect was produced on one of the female passengers, who was in the next compartment of the break carriage, that she fainted, and restoratives were obliged to be applied before she recovered. AMATEUR THEATRICALS.—A very excellent per' formanco was given on Thursday evening, at St. George's- hall, by the members of the London Rifle Bri gade Dramatic Club. The pieces selected were the " Captain of the Watch," " The Heir at Law," an d " Deno on Both Sides." It is not usual to select fo r special praise the exertions of any partinlat per3on 10 an amateur performance, as each does his best, and the best can do no more, but on the present occasion , c e must break through the wholesome rule, in order to compliment Ensign Rush (Daniel Dowlas), Private Bla grove (Dick Dowlas), Private Blink (Dr. Pangloss). ari a Corporal Meadows (Zukiel Homespun), for the excellent manner in which they supported their parts. The sr' plause they elicited was well deserved, and it is rarell that such talent is seen at amateur performances. The ladies, Mrs. Newbury, Miss A. Hardy, and Miss gau d Howard, acted quite on a par with the gentlemen. The audience was a very large and fashionable one. Professor Anderson, the world-renowned necro mancer, concluded his magical entertainment at the Surre/ Theatre last night, the house being crowded with a most fashionable audience. This night he commences a week 0 dramatic festivity, introducing some of the best membertt_4 of the profession, in additi on t o hi mse lf an d hi s t a lented family.
