Many Ron. Gentlemen took pat in the melee. It was an i n _ 'siting topic, by which the zeal and anxiety fur :4)eanomy and retrenchment, so recently professed , on, divers husting4, could be displayed in a very 6 4- I Y. manner. Nothing, however, was effected ! , After the' protracted discu3-3iou, progress was re ported, and the House resumed, without much additional infOrmation. But will the postpone ment to Monday effect any material benefit to the country ? We fear not. The present eye tsrn is defective in almost every respect. .Althotigh the various estimates aro , nomi nally, under the control of Parliament, so much mysti fication occurs that "the accounts are thoroughly cooked" without any, save official persons, being able to discover the proce4bt 4il4chit-'hai - '-been effected. There is a geneial impression that something is decidedly wrorii ;, but, the blot is seldom if ever hit, arid the nation is victimised in strict accordance with the most approved system of red-tapism. The simple fact, that the civil service estimates have increased within five years from 2,012,0001, to 7, 250,000/., or about 250 per cent. is quite sufficient to attract attention to the subject. Mr. JAMES WILSON, last night, undertook to explain this very untoward result, and he certainly dis played extraordinary tact and jtidgment in the manner in which he disci :wined his duty. His ability was no less manifested in the clear and intelligible manner in which he dwelt on the strong points, than in the masterly skill with which he slurred over, or passed sub sllentio the less favourable items. He did all that man could do under the existing system, to make things pleasant to the House. But, still it is palpable that something more is wanting, and that there must be a complete change before Parliament or the country can be satisfied with things as they are, not as they ought to be. There was one strong point in the case, and it is almost needless to say that Mr. WILSON made the most of it. He showed tint, by a very salutary attention, many payments which had formerly been charged on the Consolidated Fund, or stopped in transitu before the receipts were credited to the Exche quer, are now subjected to the control and regu lation of Parliament. This is unquestionably a decided amelioration. But that control should be real, and not merely nominal. Before it can afford a valid guarantee to the tax-paying com munity, against undue extravagance, the accounts should be rendered intelligible, so that every man of ordinary capacity, whether in or out of Parlia ment, should be able clearly to understand every item; and the object for which it is required. Any job might then be immediately detected, and lavish expenditure prevented, or at all events materially checked. But, as we have stated, this cannot possibly be achieved under the present system. The most complicated questions are brought forward in a thin House, anxious to get rid of the dry topic with the greatest possible expedition. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions are voted with the most profound indifference. What is everybody's business is never attended to by any ; or, if some indefatigable person takes he trouble to investigate some one point, his inter ference is regarded as a bore, to be got rid of in the most summary and expeditious manner. No decided improvement can be effected until a regularly constituted Committee of Finance has been appointed, whose duty it is to investigate every estimate, and to report fully and fairly to •he House on its nature, extent, and object. The necessary information would thus be obtained t enalle Hon. Gentlemen t.) know something of the matters about which their vutes were required. Some abuses would unquestionably still exist, but they would gradually be abolished. The Committee might be packed, but there should be some independent members who could enlighten their brethren. It would also be requisite that the several estimates should be prepared an an earlier period, so that they might be in the hands of every member at the very commencement of the session. But this could easily be achieved by the exercise of proper official diligence during the Parliamentary vacation. The subject is one of vast importance to the welfare and prosperity of the nation, and we only trust that it may receive the attention it so eminently merits and which must lead to considerable improvement, although everything that could be desired may not for some time be attained. bead of our Public Works Department an Admi• nistrator who does absolutely seem to know how to spend the Public Moneys upon Public Works,- for the Public Advantage. And instantly HE of all men is chosen out of the Ministerial group to be the target for all sorts of splenetic attacks and the butt for every conceivable kind of petty and malicious insinuation. We have had enough of this. We are sick of the repetition upon repetition—of the rechwiffee upon rechauffee. Parliament, Public, Press—one and all are heartily tired of it. It is becoming too stale and too obviously dull a joke to be any longer toler able. We hope that any future perpetrators of it, whether in Lords or Commons, will henceforth be coughed down as so many bores and dullards. And, beyond this, we earnestly trust that Sir BENJAMIN HALL, undeterred by all these misera ble little jibes at his extravagance, will persevere manfully in the laudable course upon which he has advent'irei. Another attempt was last night made to neu tralise the benefits derivable from the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill. The bishops mustered strongly on the occasion, and under the leadership of "SAMUEL Oxorr," offered a strenuous and almost factious opposition to the just and salutary measure. In a very full House an amendment had been very properly rejected by a decisive majority, which would allow indi vidual clergymen to exercise their own private scruples, by refusing to marry parties who had been divorced. This decision was at tempted to be reviewed and set aside, by a comparatively small, party, who, forgetting the logical consequence that the less must always be included in the greater, the particular in the universal, attempted to prohibit marriage by any clergyman whether he entertained these scruples or not, and to reduce such nuptials to a merely civil contract, which could not be hallowed by a religious sanction. The proposition was merely an exhibition of petty spite, which was fortunately rejected by a majority of four. It could not have answered any beneficial purpose, and might have been productive of consequences little thought of by the Right Rev. Prelates. As the Mice of ARGYLL clearly pointed out, it ' would have been the first step to a complete sepi ration of Church and State, the introduction of the sharp end of the wedge that might lead eventually to a great hiatus. We need not say that we should not deem this any very serious evil, but it would be passing strange if the fatal blow should be administered by the members of the Episcopal Bench ! It would, however, tend to promote immorality ; might lead some who, having unfor tunately once yielded to temptation, were anxious to lead a new life, to disregard the solemnity of the tie which was reduced to a merely civil contract without any religious sanction. It could not possibly pass the House of Commons, and might, unless their Lordships yielded at the last moment, occasion a very unpleasant collision between the different branches of the Legislature. The Bishop of OI?CRD and his associates should look to this in due time. The attempt to render the clergy independent of the law is one of a very dangerous characterto those largely endowed under that very law, and if persevered in, the natural re sults must be anticipated. Other efforts to reject or emasculate the measure may be anticipated on the third reading. We trust, however, for the sake of the general community, and still more of the discontented patties, that they may be deci dedly rejected, and that a fertile source' of reli gious dissension may be got rid of by the salutary decision of both Houses of Parliament. We have before noticed the fact of epidemic diseases being almost entirely abolished, and the death rates reduced to nearly► one half in model dwellings,—which are only model in respect to the cesspool taint, and the foul emanations from old house drains and sewers prevented, from their having some provision of ventilation, from the means of cleanliness by water supplies being given within the living and sleeping rooms, and from overcrowding being prevented. Even common lodging houses, have by these means chiefly been rendered comparatively salubrious. With these practical examples before us, the deaths from preventable disease in this metro polis of ours, occasioned chiefly by foul air are estimated at above ten thousand yearly. Each man of the middle class, who, besides doing business in the metropolis, sleeps in the foul drain and cesspool tainted atmosphere—it is proved loses thereby several years of life and working ability. The moans of prevention is therefore a large question, which c‘nnot be allowed to drop, and ought not to be allowed to flag. But at each step it is beset with difficulties, or with questions which are unresolved to those who have thought only slightly upon the subject, or too readily re solved in the shape of immense outlays with very doubtful results. The latest question raised in the metropolis has been the purification of the Thames. We are inclined to agree with Mr.. CHADWICK, that the complete purification of the cesspool tainted houses was the first question to be dealt with—for, supposing the Thames puri fied, in what relief would the completion of that work affect the 60 or 70 per cent. of the houses which have those poison pits, the cesspools, beneath them ? And how, we would ask, can outfalls be ad jasted properly until a new system of self-cleansing house-drainage—proved to be practicable and ad mitted to be necessary—shall have been got into operation, and it is seen what, under the new circum stances, the outfalls are required to do But a powerful engineering influence, in a high quarter, b i as been successfully exerted to put the outfall question first. The Metropolitan Board of Works was induced to agree to a scheme of outfalls which were to cost four millions, for throwing all the sewerage and manure of the metropolis .c into tip Thames belOw Greenwich, or at Erith. Then, besides the outcry of the inhabitants against The Honourable Gentleman who, not so very many months back, earned for himself a rather inevitable notoriety by talking seriously in the House of Commons about the advisability of dis persing a Sunday Rabble in Hyde Park with the crash of a ten-pounder on the Piccadilly Pave nent—Mr. G. DUNDA.S elicited, last evening, from the Right Hon. Baronet, the Minister of Public Works and the Member for Marylebone, the acknowledgment of the fact that St. James's Palace is going to be enlarged ! The former per sonage—the individual we mean who would fain bestow upon the 7roXXoL a horribly new kind of a •` ten pound" franchise!—had been commenting, in plaintive accents, yesterday upon that notable crush at HerMaJnsTv's Drawing-Room to which our fair countrywomen are periodically subjected, and About which the Times, a morning ort wo since, was so tmusinglyla,chrymose. Whereupon Sir BENJAMIN HALL, ever " blithe and debonnair," even gallant tnd good-humoured—while he could not for the !ife of him resist the inelkation to crack a ♦ery tempting little joke about crinoline—proferred the Aggrieved the best and surest solace any Minister in his place could by possibility have proferred, by announcing the projected improve ment already indicated, namely, the enlargement 3f St. James's Palace and the general increase )f its accommodation. " Although" said the Right Hon. Baronet, " the dresses of the ladies in former days were very large, yet I believe at the present moment they are almost of a similar width. It is therefore utterly impossible that tny comfort should be experienced by thous at tending a drawing-room in the present day. At the same time I am happy to be able to inform the Honourable Gentleman and the House that instructions have been given by Her MAJESTY'S Government for the purpose of enlarging the accommodation of St. James's Palace." Pleasant tidings for our " ladies of the land"—the victims of Drawing Room days—the heroines of Crinoline. But how—in regard to the parsimonious grum blers, in the Lords and in the Commons, noble Earls and hon. and right hon. gentlemen who complain, from time to time, about the squandering of the Public Money upon Public Works? Any thing but agreeable news to them, we should say, this prospective increase of St. James's Palace ! Why, it was only a few minutes after Sir BENJA HALL had thus satisfactorily answered the larne'utations of Mr. G. DuNDis--that Sir FRANCIS BARING rosy for th e purpose of solemnly complaining before Parliament of that harried and worried Administrator, and what is deemed by a small clique of snarlers--his• waste ful extravagance. It was really and truly only a tedious repetition in the Commons of wha 4, it will be remembered took placs a week or two since in the pollution, there is a public condemnation of the proposal to throw a vast amount of manure into the sea. The plans are taken out of th e the Lerds, when the Bight Honourable BaronA hands of the Metropolitan Beard of Works, and put again into those of another Government Com. mission. But if the sewer manure is to be pre served ; 'how shall it be applied ? This question, was anticipated in his cheese-paring argu ments by a Noble Earl from whom we in which the whole arrangement of the work, outfalls, and all, turns, is put into the hands o another and special Government Commission, and that commission has, we are informed, been kept had been led t) expect better things—to wit; Lord MALIIESBURY. And so, from week to week, Si r B ENJAMIN HALL is teazed, and vexed, and both ere d , now on the right, and now on the left, by assailants who really appear to treat his doings tts though they were not simply improve ments—but, actually, as if they were so many monstrous embezzlements ! It is very disheartan ing all this. For here, positively for about the first we have inst a ll e d a t th e time in a hundred years, inactive for want of money to pay their expenses —immense waste of manure, to say nothing of life, still going on. In the meanwhile, on the suggestion of Mr. CHADWICK, as one of the inter- national Jury of Ilygeine at Path, under some interesting circumstances narrated in a speech • which we give elsewhere; the Municipal Govern - merit of Paris, under the auspices of the EMPEROR, have establishoi some important trial works, the results of which may be taken as contributary to our investigations in Eog- land on this important national question. The main point of the speech, which was listened to with profound attention -by a very competent auditory at a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, was demonstrative of the practicability of C • '. THE SUN, LONEON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1857. applyierage,4 1119 d in the immediate vici 'aity of'tOps, not ~ronly progelvely, but per f :ctly inOffensivelv i especially- 'when it is brought oat of towns before decomposition., Another great proposition, for which we refer to the facts and reasonings stated, apparently 'to the satisfaction of the meeting, was the oamparatively small and convenient area in which town sewarage may be utilised :—of five houses to an acre of land ; or, for the whole of the metropolis, an area of not more than ten miles square, or not greater than the Essex marshes— when drained. On these topics the testimony of the Earl of Esssx, who has applied to some of his own land the sewerage of Watford, is very im portant and interesting. The next points were the statements showing that the sewerage and all town manure might be removed at a less expense than that of cleansing cesspools and foul drains and foul sewers of the foul residue after decomposition. This is a topic which ought to be of the deepest interest to metropolitan rate payers, over whom there is an impending burthen, the completed old system of drainage works, which, it has been avowed by an authority never below the estimates, will cost upwards of ten millions :—that is to say a burthen nearly equal to the poor-rates, for the mitigation of which by equalisation so many ratepayers in the poorer districts are contending. lIIIIMINIII IA LYCEUM THEATRE. MADAME RISTORI. The story of " Camtna," is that of a Druidical priestess of Galatia, who avenged her husband's murder by pretend ing love for his murderer, and poisoning him at the hour of marriage, has been more thsn once dramatised, but not since the seventeenth century, and never in our own lan guage. It bas been left for M a l ame Ri s t or i to prove h ow great a tragic character has thus been left unknown to ns by her acting in Sigma. Montane tragedy, performed for the first time in England at the Lyceum Theatre lost night. To attempt by the pen to convey any idea, however slight, of the beauty of her performance would be futile ; the remarkable grandeur of her concep tion, and her splendid realisation, to be judged of must be witnessed. We shall not attempt even to contey a faint idea of this splendid performance; analysis or criticism are out of place, as they are impossible; we can only admire and praise. THE HANDEL FEST e A 4 L. Last night the entire choral force, metropolitan and provincial, assembled in Esetsr-hall to rehearse the principal choruses from the three oratorios, " The Mes siah," "Judas Maccabasus," and " Israel in Egypt." selected for performance at the great Handel commemora tion, which begins on Monday morning at the Crystal Palace, Svdenham. In all about 2,t00 choral singers, men and women, were congrega ed, for the purpose of rehearsing under the direction of Mr. Costa. Such a choral force was never before assembled. in England; and the result of their united efforts was unprecedented. We may confidently assent that nothing on the continent (with all its affected superiority) ever approached it. The singers were arranged in double choir, as they will be on the "Israel in Egypt " day at the Crystal Palace. Mr. Costa, the con ductor stood on a raised platform, about the centre of the ball, where he could be visible, in a greater or less de gree, to all the singers. The effect produced was unexampled. Not to enter into particulars, we may mention the Hal!elnjah" (Messiah) and " Fallen is the foe" (Judas Maccabmus) as specimens of choral execution we have never heard equalled. The whole experiment was most gratifying, and if nothing more is accomplished at the Crystal Palace the vast au dience will derive ample satisfaction and delight, while the genius of Handel will be worthily apostrophized. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. The first concert of the ten days' festival announced by M. Jullien under the title of "Grand Musical Congress," took place last night in the Music-hall of the Surrey Gardens, where thousands of persons assembled to listen to the ora torio of The Creation. Snob a sight could not be other wise than gratifying to all who hold music in esteem as a means of civilization and refinement. The strict attention paid to the performance—the applause, bestowed enthusi asticZlly, andyet with discrimination—the steady adherence of nearly the whole of the audience to their seats until the last note of Haydn's great sacred composition had been heard—these and other incidents of the evening tended to show how rapidly the love of music, and of healthy music, is growing among us, with all classes, from the highest to the lowest. The execution waa immensely creditable to M. Jullien and the vast company of vocal and instrumental artists under his control. The second night of the festival (to-night) will comprise a grand selection from the works of Beethoven. The weather is happily favourable to the undertaking, and everything augurs a prosperous result. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.—The Earl and Countes of Ellesmere leave Bridgewater House on Tuesday next, for Worsley Hall, near Manchester, to make the necessary preparations for the reception of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the elder members of the Royal family, on the 29th inst.

RAILROAD DEPRECIATION IN THE UNITED STATES.— We see it stated,that a railroad in the western part of the State-,—which road cost 4,000,000 dole.—has been sold for 400,000 dole., or at the rate of about 122 c. on the dollar. Railways are of the greatest benefit to the country they pass through, but as an investment railway stock is about the ' worst property one can have.—lreas York. Herald.. THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANOE.—Such a sight as that which was yesterday seen in Lambeth Palace was, we •enture to say, never witnessed before. It would not be easy to imagine anything more beautiful, more touch kg, we had almost said, more sublime. In that Palace were assembled together, under the presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury, men of all the leading Dis senting denominations—lndependents, Baptists, Wes - Methodists, Presbyterians, dm The object of the gathering —got up under the auspices of Sir Calling Eardley—was " to receive from the deputation, lately sent to Berlin, a report of the proceedings in prepa ration for the Christian assembly in that city, next September." Ia other words, the great purpose of the meeting was to promote the views of the Evan gelical Alliance, which aims at bringing together, in bro therly harmony, good men of all rel gious bodies. Who would ever have expected to see such a meeting, for such a purpose, in the Palace of Lambeth, with the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair, and next but one to his G-ace, the Rev. Dr. Steane, Baptist minister; while in juxtaposition to other Diss3ating ministers of various denominations, were to be seen the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of St. David'e l , and other Rirtht Rev. Prelates ? Such a spectacle was a great fact. What yesterday took place in Lambeth Palace will doubtless prove tb precursor of the speedy breaking down of all those barriers which have hitherto eepara'ed Churchmen from Dissenters. Not that we mean that either body Is necessarily to relinquish its denominational principles, but that all who hold tt e same great Gospel verities, will, ere long, cordially unite inspirit, and co-operate in the promotion of those im portant views of Divine truth, which they hold in com mon.

The official text of the treaty is as follows : " Art. 1. His Majesty the King of Prussia con sents to renounce for ever, for himself, his heirs, and successors, the sovereign rights which Art. 23 of the treaty concluded at Vienna on the 9th June, 1815, attributes to him over the principality of Neuchatel and the county of Valangin. "Art. 2. The State of Neuchatel, dependent henceforth upon itself, will continue to form part of the Swiss Confederation in the same manner as the other cantons, and conformably to Art. 75 of the above-cited treaty. "Art. 3. The Swiss Confederation will defray all the expenses resulting from the events of Sep tember 1856. The canton of Neuchatel cannot be called upon to contribute towards the payment except as in the same measure as any other canton and at the pro rata of its money contingent. " Art. 4. The expenses which are at the charge of the canton of Neuchatel are to be shared by all the inhabitants according to the principle of jug proportion, without being, by an exceptional tax or by any other manner, exclusively or chiefly made to fall upon a class or category of families or of in dividuals. " Art. 5. An entire and full amnesty will be granted for all political or military offences or mis deeds connected with late events, and in favour of all the Neuchatelese, S wiss, or strangers, and espe cially in favour of the militiamen, who by crossing into a foreign land escaped the obligation of taking arms. No action, criminal or correctional, or for damages, can be instituted either by the Canton of Neuchatel or by any corporation or person what soever against those who took part either directly or indirectly in the events of September. The amnesty will extend equally to all political offences or offences of the press anterior to the events of September. "Art. 6. The,revenues of the Church property, which in 1848 were annexed to the State, cannot be employed otherwise than as originally intended. "Art. 7. The capital and the revenues of charit able institutions, of institutions of public utility, as also the fortune left by the will of Baron de Pury to the bourgeoisie of Neuchatel shall be religiously respected ; they shall be kept up according to the intentions of the founders and to the acts which instituted those foundations, and can never be employed for any other but the original object for which they were intended. " Art. 8. The present treaty shall be ratifie and the ratifications exchanged, within a term of 21 days, or sooner if possible. The exchange of ratification to take place at Paris. " In faith of which the respective plenipoteniaries have signed it, and affixed thereto the saal of their arms. " Done at Paris, the 26th of May, 1857. " KERN. " HUBNER. " A. WALEWSKI. " COWLEY. " C.

Fould, Minister of State, to England is to visit the exhibition at Manchester. as renresehtative of the Emi,eror. His Excellency has been invited by Queen Victoria to pass some days at Windsor. An article in the Moniteur expresses in the warmest terms to the departed Legislative Corp, as likewise to the Council of State and the Sena . e, the thanks of the Emperor and of the nation for the services rendered by those three political bodies to France. The official journal enumerates at some length the various measures of public utility to which the Legislative Corps has in particular con tributed by its acquiescence during the period of its existence ; and it heartily congratulates that body on having so perfectly comprehended the nature of its mission, and on having fulfilled its duties with equal zeal and prudence. An Imperial decree appoints the Comte de Ger miny, Governor of the Credit Foncier of France, to be Governor of the Bank of France, in the place of the Comte d'Argout, whose resignation has been accepted. A second decree appoints M. d'Argout as Honorary Governor of the Bank of France. The Moniteur publishes the official returns of the import and export trade of France durii g the last year with the comparison of the two preceding. The total amount of the imports for 1856 in round numbers was 2,564 millions, being an increase of 468 millions over these of the year 1855, and of 692 millions over 1854.

According to be Indepvtdance of Brussels, the grant by the Austrian Government of the order of the Iron Crown to Prince Vogorides, caimAcan of Moldavia, has created such a bad impre-sion in Paris that the French Government has charged Baron de Bourqueney, its Ambassador at Vienna, to express its regret to Count de Bunl that the favour should have been conferred at such an in opportune moment.
