Th e tm e second of a series of three operatic performances, r the manwrement of Mr. Allcroft, with Mr. and Pla ce 'us Reeves as the principal attractions , too k last night. On the first night Fra Diavolo, of be ne 7 an account was given in the notice of Mr. Re eves' d en ut at D rury -l ane , Th ea tre, was repeated before a e tt : el Y crowded audience. Yesterday even in g the steal consisted of the Sonnambula and the fi lled eal farce of The Waterman. The house was again exh i t° overflowin. The Elvino of Mr. Sims Reeves wentbits the same marks of earful study and improve- A l t which. were recognised in his Fra Diavolo. It was //,:getlier a highly artistic performance. Mrs. Sims W:. ves was graceful and prepossessing in Amina, and Mr. ON, 1" 48 good as ever in his old part of Rudolpho. The p er ' 4 r went off with the greatest applause, although the tem draw°l the audience was slightly disturbed by the curtain Th e up considerably later than had been anno unced. s y . a l.e orche s t ra , led by Mr. Tolbecque, and conducted i or nr; Tully, was generally efficient. At the conclu by 'Tr. and Mrs. Reeves were summoned to reappear d wtt Mrs.:le unanimous voice of the house, and came forwar . a „ Weiss. So successful was the opera that it r eannounced for Wednesday next, which involves Ile e xtension of the series. In the Waterm,an Mr. ' , Pes was as successful as at Drury -lan ? ; an d the ly t `4 youn g Waterman" and "Bay of Biscay" me Deny°Proarious encores. Miss narland, who pleased °loch as Wilhelmina, was compelled to repeat her fir, th e '% t 18 evident, from the continued favour accorded to ia Performances, that there is the element of success opera ; and, with the resources now available c a ,: v , e rY department, it is singular that the metropolis ti n ' "oast of no such institution. Paris has three na tnal operatic theatres ; London has not one; and yet t!d °° is more musical than Paris, and a real taste for t„ art far more general here than there. It is difficult a°l ve the riddle.

'ludo raft gall, RESUME OF THE SESSION. The parliamentary session which will this day be brought to a close has been of an unusually protracted and laborious character. Its career commenced under the Derby and Disraeli administration, upon the 4th November, 1852, when the constituent of the represen tative branch of the legislature comprised a greater num ber of new and inexperienced members than any pre vious Parliament for many years past. Under these auspices it progressed, until the catastrophe of the 16th of the following month, which resulted in the overthrow of the Derby administration, and the formation of a new cabinet by the Earl of Aberdeen. On the 31st Parlia ment adjourned, and on the 10th February, 1853, it re assembled for the real business of the session. During this period the House of Commons has sat 159 days, and 1,152 hours ; being, in 1852, 38 days and 174 hours ; and in 1853 121 days and 973 hours. In 1852, the sittings averaged 4 11-19th hours each, and in 1853, 8 1-24th hours each. During the whole ses sion they have averaged 74 hours each. The total num ber of hours in which the house sat past midnight is 125 ; being 64 hours in 1852, and 118& in 1853. Alto gether these sittings amount to 15 5-Bth days of 8 hours each. The phenomenon known as a "no house" has occurred only once, namely, on the 7th June ; but the " counts out," including the "no house," at 6 o'clock when the house met at 12, have been 8 in number. The total number of divisions taken in the Commons has been 260, being 21 in 1852, and 239 in 1853. The greatest number in any one day has been 9, which oc curred on the 7th July and on the Ist August. The divisions in the Lords have amounted to 25 only, all of them in the course of the present year.

" General Viscount Hardinge has had the satisfac tion of witnessing, on very many occasions, the energy and ability with which the combined movement of the three arms were directed by Lord Seaton ; and the re sult of the summer instruction has fully realised the expectations formed of its success when intrusted to an officer of Lord Seaton's reputation. " His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., the senior Major-General in the camp, has ma noeuvred the division during the last 10 days, and the General Commanding-in-Chief has the honour of congra tulating his Royal Highness on the very successful manner in which the troops were handled. " The officers of the general staff, before they sepa rate, will receive the Lieutenant-General's orders for collecting the various reports and details relating to field equipments, which will be taken into consideration at an early period, under instructions separately con veyed. "'By direction of his Lordship, the General Com manding-in-Chief. " G. BROWN, A.G, " DIVISION AFTER ORDER.

" The Lieutenant-General requests that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., commanding the cavalry brigade ; Colonel Thornton, commanding the brigade of Guards ; Major-General Siir Richard Eng in land, K.C.8., and Colonel Locky er, K.., commanding the Ist and 2d infantry brigades ; Lieutenant -Colonel Dupuis, commanding the Royal Artillery ; and Lieute nant-Colonel Vicers, commanding the Royal Engineers, will accept his thanks for the assistance he has received from them, and Colonel Torrens, assistant quarter master-general, and Lieutenant -Colonel Wood, C. 8., assistant adjutant-general, for the efficient manner in which the duties of their departments have been carried on during the whole period of the encampment. " By command, " R. B. WOOD, Lieutenant-Colonel, A.A.G." SHOCKING GUN ACCIDENT AT THE OAKS, NORTON. —An accident of a fearful nature happened to a youn g man, the coachman of Mr. Bagshawe , of the Oaks, Nor ton, on Thursday evening. He was charging the re ceiver of an air-gun with an air-pump, when the receiver (an hen globe) exploded. A large piece of the receiver entered the ribs on the right side, another piece inflicted a cut, six inches long, on the chest ; and the explosion broke his jaw-bone and completely tore up the lower portion of his face. Mr. Overend, the family surgeon, was immediately sent for, and all the measures that a considerable experience in similar accidents suggested were adopted for the preservation of the man's life. He was so much exhausted from the loss of blood that it was feared ho would die. Afterwards, however, he rallied ; and on Friday morning Mr. Overend performed the painful operation of extracting the piece of iron which had lodged in his side. It is probable that he will re cover. The man was charging the gun to shoot rabbits for his own amusement. He had been warned of the danger which alweli attends the charging of air-guns. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, presented a petition in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's si3ter, from the inhabitants of the city of London and adjoining parishes—from Spitalfields, Bethnal-green, Mile-end, Hackney, Homerton, Ralston, Hoxton, De Beauvoir-town, Balls-pond, Stoke Newington, Isling ton, Holloway, Stepney, Bow, Stratford, Poplar, Borough, Bermondsey, Horsleydown, Old Kent-road, Walworth, Lambeth, and Newington Baths, signed by 23,364 persons, 12,410 persons being married women. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from rionetlishire in favour of extending the jurisdiction of county courts. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord REDESDALE gave notice that next session he would move that no bill be read a second time after a certain day (to be hereafter fixed) in the month of July. ISLAND OF CUBA. - - In reply to Lo r d BROUGHAM, - The Earl of CLARENDON said about three weeks . ago the Consul-General at C u ba had reported that, in consequence of cert a i n very str i ngent i ns t ruc tions being sent out by the Sp an i s h G overnment for the su pp r ession of the slave trade, a very great amendment had taken place in the practices at Cuba. A notorious slave dealer had been arrested and imprisoned, and though it was reported he had since been released, he had received no official information of the fact. HACKNEY CARRIAGE DUTIES (No. 2) BILL. The standing orders having been dispensed with, the bill went through its several stages, and was passed. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third iime and passed : —Militia Pay, Land Tax Redemption Act Amendment, South Sea and other Annuities (Provision for Pay ment, &c.), Apprehension of Offenders Act Amend ment, Betting Houses, Commons Inclosure (No. 3), Female Convicts, Loan Societies, Marriages (Holy Trinity Church, Hulme) Validity, Friendly Societies, Copyhold, &c., Commission Continuance, Metropolitan Sewers Act Continuance, Customs Consolidation Act, and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. Their Lordships adjourned at a few minutes after six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. ) The SPEAKER took the chair at five minutes after three o'clock. NEW MEMBER. The Hon. Mr. LYTTLETON took the oaths and his seat for South Staffordshire, in the room of Major General Anson, who had resigned. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. Mr. BROTHERTON moved that standing orders, Nos. 74, 175, and 201, in the case of all private bills returned from the Lords with amendments, be sus pended—That the Lords' amendments be considered forthwith.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. MASTERMAN presented several petitions from the metropolis in favour of the legalisation of marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Sir J. DUKE presented a petition from a Sunday. school in London, against the opening of the Crysta, Palace on Sundays. ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. In reply to Mr. AGLIONBY, Lord PALMERSTON said he had seen with great regret the numerous cases which were reported of as saults upon women, but he hoped when the Aggravated Assaults Bill came fully into play, and was better known and understood by these brutes in human shape, it would have the desired effect in deterring them i the commission of such offences ; but certainly, if it did not, his mind would be very much altered as to the punishment which should be awarded. CHOLERA AT HAMBURGH. In reply to Mr. BUTLER, Lord PALMERSTON said he was not aware that any information had been received by the Government as to the outbreak of cholera at Hamburg, but it was a mat ter which properly belonged to the department of foreign affairs. He should think, however, that if there had been any outbreak of cholera, it would have been noticed in the newspapers quite as early as any infor mation could be received by the Government. Mr. WILSON said a communication had just been received by the Treasury for the Board of Health, en closing a dispatch for our consul at Hamburg, which stated that 30 cases of cholera had broken out there, but it did not say whether any of them had proved fatal. GUANO. In reply to Col. BLAIR, Lord J. RUSSELL said the subject so important as the recent discovery of guano on the east coast of Africa would receive the serious attention of the Government. TERRITORY OF MOSQUITO. Lord D. STUART asked whether the negotiations between this Government and the Governments of Cen tral America and the United States, with regard to the territory of Mosquito, were terminated ; if not, whether the noble lord would explain to the house the state of those negotiations ; and whether he would have any ob jection to lay before the house any portion of the corre spondence on the subject? Lord J. RUSSELL said he was sorry to answer, that the negotiations had not terminated. Various proposi tions were made by her Majesty's Government to the Government of the United States, and he had hoped they would have led to an amicable settlement of the question, but the last communication received from that Government was unsatisfactory so far as regarded the acceptance of the propositions, although they appeared to her Majesty's Government to be most reasonable and conciliatory in their character. He was unable to state at present the exact nature of the negotiations, but he would be prepared to lay the whole papers on the table next session. In reply to a question from Sir De L. EATANs, Lord J. RUSSELL said, redress had been ordered by the Government, in all cases in which it appeared to them any hardship had been suffered. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS. _ _ Mr. A. PELLATT asked the noble lord the member for the City of London, what sum was included in the ag gregate vote of 281,7651. (for public education in Great Britain), for establishing new schools in towns where no town councils exist, in conformity with the Minute of Council, whether the sum so voted for this special object would be expended during the suspension of the proposed Education Bill ; also, in the event of that bill being ul timately wholly withdrawn, whether the minute of council in question would be rescinded, and the money deducted from the current year's educational grant, thereby reducing the large excess of 100,000/. as com pared with the expenditure of 1852 Lord .T. RUSSELL said, so far as regarded that part of the bill which applied to places having town councils, the sum voted would not be expended ; and as to the question of the hon. gentleman as to establishing new schools in towns where no town councils existed he begged to state, that it was the decision of the Government that where cases of that kind occurred, and were brought before the committee of the Privy Council, grants ought to be made in conformity with the minute of the board. With respect to the other question, when in the event of the bill being ultimately withdrawn, the minute would be rescinded, that was a subject for considera tion hereafter, and he could not now therefore give any positive answer to the hon. g entleman on that point. PENAL CODE OF PORTUGAL. Mr. KINNAIRD wished to ask Lord John Russell if any information to eedehoradrseaaicdhetdo thhaeveGhoveeenrnpmaesnsetdwhityhtrhee ference to a late Queen of Portugal, subject of and that sanctioned kin gdom by is the condemned Cortex, by o which any and imprisonment, va r y in g from one to three should do anything, by word or in the opinion of the Govern myfiwenraeitrtis7nilafywhbheeichcO in nsidered as an insult to any of the dog masen of the Roman Catholic religion, or attempt to pro pagate doctrines contrary to that religion, or celebrate public acts of worship differing therefrom, and by which any foreigner convicted of similar offences is to be ban ished from that kingdom. And if so, whether he had any objection to lay a copy of such decree, or extract there from, on the table of the house. Also, if any provision has been made for the protection of the rights and liber ties of the subjects of her Majesty resident in or visiting that kingdom, in conformity with the treaty of July 3, 1842, by which treaty the right was guaranteed to them of building and maintaining, without hindera,nce, places of public worship, and the free exercise of their religion was promised to them. And if so, whether he would lay a copy of such provision on the table of the house, to gether with copies of any correspondence between her Majesty's Government and that of the Queen of Portu gal on this subject ? Lord J. RUSSELL said her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon had only sent over portions of the decree, but it was evident the decree did not infringe the treaty, be cause there had been no complaint to that effect on the part of any British subject. There was consequently no intention or necessity, as yet, to remonstrate against the decree. MAYNOOTH. Mr. EWART wished to know whether the commis sion to inquire into Maynooth would be appointed in sufficient time to report before next session. Lord J. RUSSELL thought he could give such an assurance, as all the commissioners had been se lected, and there would be no further delay in the appointment of the commission THE CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY. Lord D. STUART wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London, whether the attention of Government has been further directed to the case of Edward Murray, a British subject, condemned to im prisonment for life by the government of the Pope, and whether they will take further steps for obtaining his liberation. Lord J. RUSSELL said the British Minister at Florence had made repeated application to the Papal Government on the subject, and the last reply was that • the rapal Government could not Woad any further ad xd xd xd 71 i i 120 2 30 1 10 28, x d 1 xd 5O 50 100 100 102/ 2 li - 71 - 351 36; = 2 lot 2 23 - 51 50i mercy to Mr. Murray. It was, however, not the inter tion of the Government to allow the matter to drop. THE CASE OF PHILLIPS THE CABMAN. Lord D. STUART having detailed the circumstances of this case, proceeded to ask the noble lord, the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, whether he had caused any inquiry to be made into the case, and if so, what was the result of it ? Lord PALMERSTON said upon enquiry it was found that the cabman had not made any overcharge, and he had, therefore, caused the fine to be returned to the cabman, with an additional 40s. He took this op portunity of expressing a hope that the police magis trates would in future take care to have a large map of London in their offices, to which reference could be made, and similar mistakes prevented in cases like thin. (Hear, hear.) TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE BILL. Lord PALMERSTON, with regard to this bill, sub mitted to the hou se th a t it wo uld be better not to persist in the clause prohibiting the use of dog-carts. which the Lords had struck out of this bill, and leave the nuisance in question, which he admitted to be a very great one, to be dealt with next session in a separate bill. After a few words from Sir WILLIAM JoLLIFFE and Mr. EWART, the motion of the noble lord was agreed to. CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICERS. Mr. WILSON wished to ask the hon. and learned member for Greenwich a question on the subject of a seizure of watches, which had taken place by the Cus toms authorities. Now the notice of motion, which the honourable and learned gentleman had given, so far prejudged the matter as to state that the Customs autho rities had been guilty of an illegal and unlawful act, and he wished to know if the honourable and learned gentleman still persevered in that notice of motion ? Mr. CHAMBERS said, the words complained of had inadvertently crept into the notice of motion. He was, however, not prepared now to say whether he should or should not renew the motion next session ; but if he found upon inquiry that it was his duty to do so, he should not shrink from performing it. The Lords' amendments to some other bills were con sidered and agreed to. LEADER OF THE HOUSE. Mr. CAYLEY gave notice, that early next session he should move for a select committee to inquire into the expediency of fixing a salary to the office of leader of the house. The house then adjourned until half-past one to•mor. row. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 19. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia paid a visit this morning privately to her Majesty's ship Excel lent, in this harbour, and witnessed the gunnery prac tice. It is rumoured—and we doubt not the truth of it— that the vacant Grand Cross of the Bath, which reverted to the gift of the Queen on the death of the late Admiral B ullen, will be conferred on Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochr ane , K. C. B. The Prussian frigate Gefion, 48, Commodore Schro eder, was towed into harbour this morning to refit.

The following are a few particulars connected with the Queen's second visit to the Duke of Wellington screw three-decker yesterday : Early in the morning, her Majesty's servants came on board from the Fairy, with preparations for luncheon for the Court. At eight a.m. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, with his Flag-Lieutenant, Mr. Hankoy, arrived on board from the Sprightly steam-tender, Master Com mander G. Allen, and hoisted his flag at the fore. Signal was then made for the squadron intended for sea to prepare to weigh. At 10 30 the Royal party was steered from the Victoria and Albert by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence to the Duke of Wellington. The Royal visitors were received at the head of the accom modation ladder leading to the entering port of the Duke by Sir Thomas Cochrane, Captain Martin, and Commander Preedy, two midshipmen and four naval cadets doing duty as "side boys." A guard of honour of Royal Marine Artillery, under the command of First Lieutenant Poore, of that corps, received the Royal party on the middle deck. Her Majesty and the Royal circle then proceeded to the upper deck, where they were received by the officers of the ship and a guard of honour of the divisional companies of the Royal Marines, commanded by Captain W. C. P. Elliott, First Lieu tenant Naylor, and Second Lieutenant Lean. Her Ma jesty passed on and proceeded to the poop, where sofas and chairs were placed for herself and suite, and whence she witnessed all the evolutions of the day. On the re turn to Spithead her Majesty expressed a desire to the Admiral that the Duke of Wellington's ship's company should go to general quarters, and her Majesty descended with the Royal circle and inspected all the decks, and saw the whole exercise performed under the command of the various lieutenants of the main, middle, and lower decks, witnessing also the dismounting of a gun, and its removal from one side of the deck to the other. With this exercise between decks both the Queen and Prince Consort expressed their high gratification, and also their admiration to Captain Martin at the state and efficiency of his ship, before leaving. PLYMOUTH, AliG. 19. Her Imperial Highness Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia, with her sister Olga, Princess of Wurtemburg, and the Prince, are expected here during the day from Torquay, on a visit to the Right Hon. the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Ajax, 58, Captain M. Quin, arrived yesterday from Portsmouth. She will go up harbour to-day, her crew will be paid off, and she will be re-commissioned. The James Watt, screw steam blockship, which was taken out of dock in the early part of the week, was placed therein again yesterday, for the purpose of re ceiving an additional false keel. The merchant-ship Tamarac, Captain Thompson, which arrived here yesterday from Prince Edward Island, re ports—July 9, lat. 46 N., long. 48 W., the bark Hope, of Limerick, 42 days from Cardiff, making water very fast ; supplied her with provisions.

Aug. 14, lat. 50 12 N., long. 10 45 W., the ship Prince Albert, for Philadelphia. SHEERNESS, AUG. 19. WOOLWICH, AUG. 19. APPOINTMENTS. The Dolphin brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Webber.—The only officers who have at present joined this vessel are the Commander and Mr. William Dore, the gunner. She has at present only eight boys draughted from the flag-ship, and two A.B's. It is now commonly remarked that few seamen join ships commissioned before they find the ship they intend to enter for is so far advanced in her rigging as to be ready for rattling down ; and, on many occasions, seve ral of our men-of-war sailors have been much disap pointed in being a day too late, and having to wait a little longer. Commander Webber has left on Port- Admiral's leave. The Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo, Second Master (additional) George Brockman, left here at 4 a.m. this day for Gravesend, where the Master-General of the Ordnance and surveying officers are to embark, andtttreturn w the e i l tl entrancesh p i s r oce evening, d t o on t T o u h r a m o f e s i n a s n p d e c iu ti o e n d w o a f y a . l t s h h e e fo w r i t l s l the e nd Vice-Admiral the lion. Josce line Percy will entertain the Master-General of the Ord nance and a select party to dinner at the Admiralty house here. It is reported that the eastern end of this island and the sea approaches to the East Swale will be brought before them for their consideration, as it has been suggested that a 50-gun screw steam frigate, moored off the eastern end of the island in convenient water would be far more desirable and available at all times ; in addition to which it is stated, if the latter suggestion is carried out, many valuable lives and a considerable amount of property may also be saved to every maritime nation. The Cyclops paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Master Com mander (pro tem.) Charles Pope, will go out of the fitting basin to day and proceed to Woolwich for the remainder of the heavy machinery of the Crescy, 80, t tcho T iosk h si e nei M p,a i a r n a nd n a d aw a iislt l li 4 blieju s g cre a w pp s a t r e a a t m us -sl b o as op.— ar r ed nt' b s screw steam-ship, fitting for commission here. e P r a e th fr n o put on board as soon as practicable. The Royal George, 120, screw steam-ship—Prepara tions are making here to-day to place the mainmast of this ship under the masting sheers. The Bremen bark, Leidnitz, Captain Weeting, from the Cape of Good Hope, passed here at 10 p.m. yester day, with invalids, in charge of Captain Nott, 74th Highlanders, Lord George Hay, of the 2d Queen's Own, and Dr. Frazer, of the 74th, the latter having been out 15 years. The widow of the late Adjutant Gordon, and her four children, also came home as passengers. The invalids were all landed at Chatham, and sent to hospi tal. On the Leidnitz arriving opposite the Royal dock yard, an attempt was made to bring her up by her anchor, which failed, and she swung round and grounded on the Gravelstone Shelf, at the entrance at (Chatham Reach it being high water at the time, she remained during the ebb tide taking a very heavy list to port. On the flowing tide she righted, and left Chatham at 10 p.m. yesterday, passing the Garrison Point at 12 at midnight, in sta esh e h hired as s c i s h t a e rag frome of a theN Trinity or ep to 1 0 0 t c . ba l tb t a i m s ribgyhta boatman, to to act as a pilot, in consequence of no pilot offering his services.
