Foremost among all the Orders of the Day in the House of Commons for this present date, Mercurii, 10` ) die Junii, 1857, there appears (as if satirically) this astounding announcement : "a 1. Sale of Beer Bill ;---Second Reading." We doubt it very much. "A 1?" We never should have supposed it. Even now, although it lies before us printed formally, in very legible characters, upon Parliamentary Paper No. 20, folio 397—we remain obdurately incredulous. We don't believe it—aty more than PAUL Dom- BEY believed Mrs. PIPCHIN'S bugaboo story about the Mad Bull who devoured the Little Boy who asked Questions. And, as if in timely justifica tion of our unbelief, there appears a little further down upon the same page—not among the Orders of the Day, but underneath those Orders of the Day, so preposterously headed by Mr. HARDY'S Folly, his Hobby, his Fancy, his "Beer Bid " (really, in Parliamentary slang, his Beer Bill)—There appears second among the Notices of Motion the following :—" Mr. KER SEYMER,— Oa Motion for Second Reading of Sale of Beer Bill, to move, That it be read a second time upon this day six months." Another opportunity is consequently afforded to the House, of ridding itself of this preposterous measure, which is an indirect, but a very grotesque, and a very signifi cant reflection upon its philanthropy ! Before our impression for this evening goes to press, the House will, in all human probability have decided upon the relative merits of Mr. HARDY'S Order of the Day, and Mr. SEYNIER'S Notice of Motion. It will be seen, consequently, by a glance from these leading columns to that other portion of our journal in which to-Jay's Parliamentary proceedings are duly chronicled by our reporters, how the com paratively few members present on a Wednesday afternoon's sitting have decided. It will probably be seen—unless a sudden and unexpected success have carried Mr. KER SEYMER'S exceedingly ra tional motion against the Second Reading—that again the settlement of the difficulty has been postponed ; that again the matter is referred onward—this time to a detailed scrutiny in Com mittee. Sooner or later the crotchet of Mr. HARDY is doomed. We cannot but think this. Ii were an insult to the good sense of the House of Commons t, conceive for an instant that it could be otherwise. Upon that sound sense we place our reliance in this matter, and to it we are dis posed all the mere earnestly to appeal, now, that the Believers in Virtue by Act of Parliament are all agog, apparently, about the old, old project lacquered up again into an appearance of newness —the whimsy of your thick-and-thin Tea-Totallers —the Maine Liquor Law movement ! It ap pears, by a paragraph given elsewhere in our impression of this evening that the promoters of that movement are strenuously "at it" again down at Manchester. A conference has been hell there to further the. scheme for Punishing the Sober, in order to try and do good (against his will) to the. Drunkard.runkard. That—literally-is the mean ing of that monstrous folly ,called the Maine Liquor Law ! An offshoot of which Folly is Mr. ILIADY's Beer Bill ! Render drunkenness im possible, or try and render it impassible, by causing the traffic in intoxicating beverages to be declared illeg 0, and you deprive sobriety of any credit whatsoever. The exercise of Free Will on the part of a worshipper is an essential condition for any value whatever in the exercise of Religion. Surely every sane man must recognise this. Surely every man in his senses must see at otice that to carry off an unbeliever and blasphemer to Church —gagged and in a straight waistcoat - , is not pre cisely the way to forward the interests, or to dif: fuse the princ'ple,s of Right Religion. S ill less would it be the way if all kinds of people indis criminately, good and bad, believers and unbe lievers, were so carried off gagged and straight-waistcoated. The fanatical promoters of Tirtue by Main force, of Sobriety by Maine force, may, if they have a mind to it, be as strait laced as they please, themselves. But others with equal reason may object (if they have not a mind to it) to be straight-waistcoated. For once and for all, we say The right-thinking people of this country won't hare it—this absurd phan tasy of a Maine Liquor Law. And quite 4s reso lutely determined we believe they will chew them selves to bo not to have the small end of the wedge inserted in the shape of this farce of a tyrannical little pettifogging Beer Bill affecting the beneficence of philanthropy. The beneficial effects of Lord BROUOHAM'S re- turn to his place in the House of Lords are already perceptible. The obnoxious proviso, which, by prohibiting the guilty party from again contracting matrimony, reduced her to the deplor able alternative of " prostitution or want, of sinning or starving, of the streets or the work house," has been expunged by a decisive majority, and a subsequent _ preposal, that the offender should be prevented from marrying the person with whom the adultery was proved to have been committed, was also rejected. We heartily con gratulate the House and the country on this auspicious result. We felt convinced that the impolitic restriction could not bear the test of calm and mature consideration, that their Lordships woul'l not persevere in a course which must have brought them into collision with the other House, and of which tb i a inevitable effect would be to cause the rejection of the bill, if it were obstinately persisted in. Indeed, it seems by no mea t us improbable, that the quasi amend ment had. been introduced and carried with a view to that very result. Some other decided improvements wore also carried. Husbands deserted by their wives were declared to be entitled to the same remedy as women would have. This is only fair and reason able ; there should be full and perfect reci procity. The like remedy should in, every instance be given for the like offence. We only trust that the principle may be rendered universal, and that the rights or wrongs of both husbands and wives may be placed on a precisely similar foundation. We cannot see any benefit to be derived from the substitution of the words " judicial separation" for " divorce a mensa et thoro." The meaning of the latter was clearly understood by every adult male and female throughout the length and breadth of the land; and the o)ining of a nsw legal phrase, the only effect whereof would be to afford legal gentlemen an opportunity of displaying their ingenuity, I , hould be avoided, save on intelligible grounds. As,, however, " the rose by any other name will smell as sweet," there is no great rea son to cavil at that, the effect whereof will be ex actly the same as if the more familiar terms had been used. The only other discussion and division referred to the substitute for the obnoxious action of trim. cm. The issue was simply whether the offence should be punished with fine only, or with fine and imprisonment, or either of them. The latter course was adopted by a majority of ten. There is much to be said on both aides of the question. On the one hand, it is decidedly ob jectionable that the personal liberty of the sub ject should be interfered with by the simple decision of a Judge, without the intervention of a jury. It is to a certain extent abolishing that which is justly regarded as the great palladium of our national freedom. On the other, it is certain that there are many who would regard a mere fine as a bagatelle, a thing only to be sneered at, who would look on imprisonment in a very different point of view. And, as the object is to render the law a real terror to wrongdoers not a mere scarecrow, where wealthy offenders are concerned, it seems desirable that the power of incarceration should be added. All would be accomplished by inserting a clause that the sen tence of imprisonment should only be pronounced after the verdict of a jury before a criminal tri bunal. Respecting the fine there is one point which appears to have been altogether disregarded by all parties. It may possibly operate as a sentence of perpetual imprisonment ! It will become a Crown debt from which the party amerced cannot be exonerated by the insolvent tribunals, or the surrender of all his property in possession, re version, or expectancy. At present, damages in an action for crim. con. constitute a ground of remand, which is invariably acted on according to the extent of the damages and the criminality of the offender. This, how ever, will now be changed, and a clause or pro vis) ought to be added that would enable the person in actual custody for the offence, to obtain the benefit of the Insolvent Act on submitting t') a vesting order, which would divest him of his entire property, and subject him to the ether regulations incidental t) an application to that very efficient tribunal. The Committ3e now sitting on the Bank Charter Act cannot possibly ignore the fearful consequences that must result from a continuance in the present exorbitant rate of discount. As the Times recently acknowledged, " a return to cheap money"—i. e. a moderate charge for pecu niary accommodation—" cannot be anticipated for several years 1" It is scarcely necessary to point out the inevitable results that must follow " increased labour with gradually diminished means"—and these only obtained " at usurious rates of interest." The fact is, as stated in a communication which will be found in another part of this day's impression, that "the drones are cared for to the injury of the working bees, and the r ultimate exhaustion is certain, unless some decided effort is made," and that very speedily. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, by deciding to pay the redemption of the Sound Dues in Specie, or its equivalent, within three or four months, has precipitated the crisis. Under the existing code we cannot maintain the struggle very long, and then Mercator and his disciples will be in the position of him who " killed the goose that laid the golden eggs." There is, however, no limita tion to the greed of gain. As the schoolboy pro verb declares, "the love of money increases as the money itself ;" and the put ►tive parent of the Act having acquired an almost fabulous fortune by the use of what he now terms " worthless rags," is willing to kick down the ladder by which he has ascended, to prevent others from attaining a similar elevation. The phrase "pig on bacon" was well known in Lancashire in the olden time, nor is even yet altogether forgotten. We do not by any means complain of the mode in which the Leviathan fortune was accumulated, but certainly the man who derived such almost miraculous advantages from legitimate and well deserved " credit," should be the last to deprive others of similar Many plans have been suggested by which " free trade in currency " could be obtained with out the slightest risk of depreciating the circulat ing medium. An issue of Exchequer Bills of small and omvenient lenominations, say II 2/. and 3t. would, as recently suggested by a respected correspondent, answer every purpose. No person would refuse that which would sat . sfy the demands of the tax-gatherer, whose visits are unfortunately neither " few nor far between." But the laziness of a for. mer Comptroller of the Exchequer prevented that desideratum from being carried into practical effect. If, however, Parliament should sanction the principle, not only would the interest of the I Unfunded Debt be saved to the Exchequer, but there would be an unobjectionable currency, which could not possibly be depreciated. The amount would be regulated by Parliament, and the whole would be redeemed within the year by almost daily inst tlments. This would liberate a large quantity of gold now required for the business of every day life, and render it available for our foreign commerce, for which alone it is wanting. We trust that the new Parliament may show, ere it is too late, that it is neither indifferent to the exigencies of the community, nor incompetent to deal with a subject on which the welfare and prosperity of the industrial popu- lotion so greatly depends, and which can alone ensure that great blessing—" A fair day's wage for a fair day's work." General ASIIBURNHABI and Lord ELGIN either have arrived, or will soon arrive on the coast of China, and we may hope, therefore, before long to hear what course will be taken ; the reinforcements, however, seem to linger, and the Raleigh is pro bably hoplessly wrecked, her valuable stores of shells being, it appears, rendered useless. We fear, therefore, the hot season will render it impossible to effect anything till the autumn, by force of arms. There are, however, symptoms of increasing difficulties on the side of the Chinese. It i 3 stated at Shanghao that the Imperial Go vernment has actually proposed to levy a tax on opium there, to which, as implying the legalisa tion of iti sale, it would never have condescended, had not the Imperial Exchequer been as empty as that of the CZAR at the fall of Sebastopol. Its troops also were greatly in arrear of pay. The rebels, too, iu Central and Noithern China, had gained considerable fresh successes . ; and in the South, in the province of Canton, notwithstanding the savage executions by Yen, the rebels have become very numerous, and in the adjoining pro vince of Kwang-se have captured Kwoilin, the capital, a well fortified place, which has hitherto resisted all their attempts. YETI himself, it is said, cannot keep his troops together for want of money. Pending the arrival of important news, it may be interesting to our readers to be apprised briefly of the actual state of the Chinese rebellion. In deed, the have almost forgotten it during our own greater wars nearer home, and in our own quarrel with the Cantonese. It should be re membered that this vast empire consists of eighteen provinces, on an average, almost equal in size to Great Britain, a fact which sufficiently accounts for its population being eighteen times larger than ours, without its containing more inhabitants to the square mile. Its entire width is intersected by one of the largest rivers in the world, on which stands the ancient capital Nankin. The province and city of Canton, to which Europeans were con fined till after the late war, is in the extreme south, and Pekin, the present Manchoo capital, is in the extreme north of this vast empire; some 17 degrees of latitude intervene—about the same dis tance as from Madrid to Aberdeen and farther. In so vast and populous an empire, administered by eighteen governors, over ten times which might serve for as many kingdoms, it is not to be won dered at that insurrections occur ; and the fact is, that under an absolute and centralisedadministra tion like that of China, there, are as in France or Austria, no means of redress but insurrection. Mal-administration at Pekin, or by any of the provincial governments can be rectified only by resistance. Hence, though the form of govern ment has been unchanged for at least two thou sand years, yet oppressive and incorrigible bad dynasties have been repeatedly expelled. The late rebellion, nr more properly speaking, insurrection against the Manchoos and their dynasty had unquestionably a religious origin. alma SEW TSJIIIEN, who now styles himself the Heavenly Prince. 's a kind of second Mahomet. His course beg ,a some mysterious visions vouchsafed him wrin g a severe illne.ss. He appears to liave been delirious, and, what is common in delirium, to have seen vivid represen tations of what he had read in the Protestant Sriptures,many years before, but forgotten. He had so forgotten, that when a few years after the visions the successes of the English at Canton le I him to look at the books he had received from them again, he was astonished to find the key to his dreams in them. From that time ke does not seen to have doubted that the God worshipped by the western barbarians, whom he now termed foreigners, had appeared to him ; that the Protestant Scriptures were an authoritative revelation from Heaven, and that he was called to commence the task of a Religious Reformer. He does not appear to have thought of insurrection against the Goverment till, very unwisely, attacked by it ; and a consi derable body of political rebels having joined him, they commenced their work of expelling the Tar tars from all the cities of the empire : this appears to have been towards the close of the year 1850. At this time they commenced their religious political movement to establish a new and native dynasty of Taeping, or Universal Peace. Nume rous bands of discontented men, of bandits, and even of pirates driven on shore by our cruisers, have joined the rebels ; but "the God worship pers" continue to be the strength of the whole movement, and thousands who have thought their moral code too strict have deserted them on that Account. They believe in one GOD, and in JESUS OIRIST as his SAA, not his equal ; and the Ten Commandments are their moral code. HUNG SEW TSIIEN is regarded as the second son of GOD, though apparently in a much lower sense than Jzsus.,ln fact, their knowledge of Christianity seems to be limited to What a learned native Chinese, without A single idea from modern civilisation, could ex tract from the Old and Ne w Testament, which he had received from a native convert. He and his `God worshippers fight with the - ardour of patriots against the Manchoos, and, the z3al of a DAVID against idolators. The Tae-ping rebels rapidly forced their way through frqm the south-east across half the Em pire, till they reached the Great River on the banks of 'which they have ever since established their head-quarters. They soon descended the River and took possession of Nankin, and of Chin-kelang, where the celebrated canal crosses the Great River. There, of course, they are not far from us at Shanghae. In the summer of 1853, a considerable detachment from the main army started northward through the other half of the empire from Pekin ; they fought their way skil fullyTtaa rars in and bravely with Tartars i n th e i r f ron t an d their rear, till they nearly reached Pekin itself, which it is supposed they expected to take by surptise. The EMPEROR obtained from Mantchooria, beyond the wall, a body of Tartar cavalry. Having nothing to cope with it, they were temporarily checked, and turned back to send or wait for reinforcements; occupying meantime a good position. After the arrival of the latter, h av i n g continued nearly a year longer in the North, and stormed large cities in the face of the Tartar armies and their cavalry, they finally returned to the south of the Yellow River, and united themselves again with the main body on the Great River. In this position, the best pro bably in the Empire for their operations, in com mand both of the best natural and artificial navi gation, they appear to be firmly fixed, and to be extending their conquests in all directions. Our readers who wish for information cannot do better than consult the work of Mr. T. T. MEADOW'S, Chinese Interpreter in H. M. Civil Service, "The Chinese and their Rebellions," to whom we are indebted for the less-known facts above mentioned. His work will repay well the perusal of all who take a political and religious interest in , the vast and little-known Empire of which it treats.* It seems plain that the Enarz- ROR, embarrassed by 'the great Rebellion, and Wm; eqdRIP embarrasied by the numerous rebels of his own province, can be in no condition to oppose any vigorous action on the part of Euro peans. * THE CIIINESE AND THEIR REBELLIONS, ♦iewed in Connection pith their Natural Philosophy, Ethics Le gislation, and Administration.

She brings 160 passengers for Southampton and Bremen, and a large cargo. She proceeds direct to Bremen after landing pas sengers, &c., having no cargo for London. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Paris correspondent of the Nord says : " With regard to the Bank of France, I learn that Count de Germiny has been definitively appointed, and that his nomination will be officially announced immediately. As to M. de Vuitry, who was spoken of for the post, he becomes president of the section of finance ; MM. Bavoux and Lang'ais, deputies, will be nominated Councillors of State, as I have before announced. M. Boinvillier s w ill very pro bably be named president of the section of the In terior in the room of M. Boulay (de la Meurthe), who enters the Senate. Nothing has been decided as to the successor of M. de Germiny at the Credit Foncier." The King of Bavaria took his departure yester day morning from Paris. The Senate met yesterday, M. Troplong in the ()hair. The military code was again brought wider discussion, and after observations from Marshal Pelissier, General de Bourjolly, Count Segur el'Aguesseau' fiat president Delangle, first pre sident Barthe, the Marquis de la Rochejacquelein, and Count de Beaum nt, the Senate declared by a majority of 99 votes to 4, that it did not oppose the promulgation of the measure. The senatus uonsultum concerning exchanges of property be ftween the State and private persons was adopted unanimously by 97 votes. The bill for extending the privilege of the Bank of France was brought under examination, and the Senate declared by 103 votes to 1 that it did not oppose the promul gation of the measure.

A letter from Constantinople, in the Weser Gazette, says :—" It is stated that the Porte has the intention of completely changing its system of taxation, and to establish a property tax. English statistical men of eminence have been applied for by the Porte to assist in drawing up tables on which this tax shall be calculated.' We have received the Constantinople journals and letters to the 28th ult., brought by the Eu phrate, but they add but little to the accounts al ready made known by telegraph. The conference which was to take place on the 27th between the representatives of the powers who signed the treaty of Paris and the Turkish ministers relative to the Principalities had been postponed to the 30th, and it was expected that th' fullest explanations would be demanded from the Porte on the subject of the irregularities which were being carried in the Danubian provinces. The Sultan was preparing to take a week's excursion in the sea of Marmora. His Majesty was first to proceed to Ismith, in the Gulf of Nicomedia, where he would be present at the launch of a line of a battle ship. This crui.3e has been recommended to the Sultan by his physicians. Several changes have taken place or were about to be made among the governors of provinces. NAPLES. " The conclusion of a concordat," says the Presse, "between Naples and the Holy See is at present certain. The text is not known, and many persons believe that it is to remain secret. But tour royal ordonnances, dated from Caserta, and as many cir culars of M. Scorza, director of the department of ecclesiastical affairs and of public instruction„ have ordered the arrangements decided on betifeen the two courts to be immediately carried into effect. They may be summed up in a few words, being on the one hand, with respect to the administration of ecclesiastical property and of charitable institutions, the complete substitution of the clergy and of the jurisdiction of the Church fLr the civil power ' • and on the other hand, the re- es tabli s hme n t i n favour of the clergy of certain privileges long abolished." RUSSIA. A letter from Odessa of the 20th ult., in the Bcersenhalle of Hamburg, says :—" The Minister of Foreign Affairs has transmitted to the Governor- General of Bessarabia and New Russia an Impe rial order, authorising him to fix the end of this month as the last limit of the stay of foreign traders at Sebastopol. The works for cleaning the port and getting up the sunken vessels at Sebastopol are being energetically carried on. A large quan tity of materials for the construction of steamers and engines has arrived from Marseilles." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, of the 7th, says :—" The King and Queen will leave on Monday for Tceplitz, in Bohemia ; their Majesties will en route pass a day at the court of Saxony. After remaining a few days at Tceplitz, the King and Queen will pro ceed to Marienbad ; their Majesties will travel in cognito under the names of Count and Countess de Zollern, and have declined in advance any kind of official reception. Tha Prince of Prussia and the Prince Frederick William, bis son, arrived here lasl evening from Breilaw, and are to leave this even ing for Westphalia. The envoy extraordinary of the Sublime Porte, Irani Bey, has, after a long stay in this capital, left for Constantinople." Mr. Murray, Minister of England to Persia, quitted Bagdad on the 17th ult., with all the per sons attached to his Legation, on his way to Te heran. He was accompanied by Ali Khan, who had been despatched by the Court of Persia for that purpose. The Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of the 6th, voted a bill for the construction of new barracks at Alessandria, and another for converting one of the suppressed convents in Turin into a hospital. The marriage of 1), ince Oscar of Sweden, born in 1829, second son of the reigning monarch, with the Duko of Nassau's sister, born in 1836, took place at the palace of Bibrich on the sth, at seven in the evening. We have mentioned that the Hanoverian govern ment has nominated a representative at the Court of St. Petersburg. It may be remembered that the Chambers which preceded the last Diet refused the grant for the support of a diplomatist in Russia. The present Diet will now be called on to vote the necessary credit, but it is not expected that any serious opposition will be made this time. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l have often noticed with great pleasure your various articles on the currency. The frightful value charged for discounts and advances is truly alarming. Our great men are unable or unwilling to perform their duty in this matter ; and to allow it to be slurred over by the public carelessly, looks to me a great crime. The trade progresses in spite of their incapacity, and we are to do the increased business with gradually diminished means of exchange or accommodation. Many private bankers are retiring from one cause or other, and the void is left ; so that the producer is required to do in• creased labour with gradually lessened means of accom modation, at usurious rates of interest. The drones are cared for to the injury of the working bees, and their ultimate exhaustion is certain unless some effort is made. It looks to me I;ke getting out of your man or horse double work, with gradually decreasing food, or stinting them of what was intended for their nourishment. Mercator and the like forget what made them. In Lancashire we had an old saying —Jones r upon Jones, and Dicky Clough at hack would do, at that time the circulation wqs over charged with 3 months bills, or acceptances—Jones Ll .yd of Manches ter, on Jones Lloyd of London (pig on bacon). If I find this takes with you and yonr friends, I nipy write you again, make what use of it you like, and shape it as you like, if you publish it. lam out of trade, and not a borrower, therefore, I have no interested motive. I remain, yours, faithfully, WM. DAVIES. Ashfield, Rhoyader, June 8, 1857. Among the passengers who left Southampton yester day by the Brazilian steamer Avon were seventeen Sis ters of Mercy, who are gone out td attend the yellow fever hospital at Rio de Janeiro. THE FIRE AT MESSRS. PICKFORUS WARgHOUSE. 'We - learn that Messrs. Pickford and the London end North-Western Railway Company are covered by policies of insurance b the extent of 55,0001. up - )n the building and their ctn'ents, consequently the loss which would otherwise have been con,i,ler able will be very small. Little or no interruption to the traffic has arisen; the morning delivery of goods having be?n made from the establishment of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, and from Haydon-square, within half an hour of the usual time. SIR W. F. WILLIAMS, BART., OF KARS. We have reason to believe that Major-General Sir William Fenwick Williams, K.C.B. (ihe hero of Kars), is about to vacate his post as Command:int at Woolwich, the gallant general having b..en offered, and it is said accepted, the Govetnorship and Command-in. Chief of Malta, in the ronn of Major-General Sir William Reid, K.C.8., resignel. It is currenly reported that Major-General J. E. Dupuis, who greatly distingui s h e d himself during the Carlist war in Spain, and served during the re cent war in the East, wAh ditincCon at Alma, Ba laklava, and Inkernyin, and during the siege of Sebastopol, will, in a'l probability, be Sir William's successor. General Dupuis is decorated with the third class of the Legion of Honour. MEDICAL REFORM. DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON IN SUPPORT OF MR. HEADLAM'S BILL. Lord Palm , rston received a deputation yester day, at 2 o'clock, at Cambridge-home, of members of the medical profession, representing the colleges of physicians and sur4eons of the United Kingdom, the universities of Oxf or d an d D u bli n, and the various classes of the profession, on the subject of the medical bills now before the House of Commons. Mr. HEADLAM, in introducing the depu:ation said ,that, as h s lordship was aware, the:subject of thedical reform had been a very long fine before the country, and there was a convictiov., not only in the minds of the members of the medical profes sion, but of the House of Commons, not alone that the subject was getting ripe for legislation, but that the time had arrived when it ought to be finally settled without regard to any other interest than the public good. The different medical bodies throughout the country had approved of the bill which he had introduced to the House of Com mons. They do not complain of the Government not taking it up, but they think it a measure fully entitled to the support of the Government, being one suited for all purposes as far as regards good medical government and the protection and re quirements of the public, therefore it was that he felt warranted in not only asknig in their behalf for the support of the Government to secure the second reading, but also their aid in passing it through the house with all just speed, and not think of referring it to a select committee or anythi ng o f th at ki nd. The deputation which he had the honour of intro ducing to his lordship did not object to any rea.on able alteration of the details of the bill, but they I could not and would not consent to any deviation or departure from the substantial parts of the bill. Dr. MAYO, the president of the College of Phy sicians, and several other members of the deputa tion having addressed his lordship, Lord PALMERSTON—AII he could ray was, that of the bills now before Parliament, he would give his attention to their provisions, and he would bear in mind the very important communications made to him by so many distinguished members of the profession of medicine. He could not say at first what course the Government would pursue ; regarding the two bills, they would be guided by the discussion of their merits. He had no des re to support any other than the one which was sa.' isfac tory to the profession and for the public good. He was thankful fur all he had heard. The deputation shortly afterwards withdrew. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Last evening, Mozart's T‘ Don Giovanni" was per- formed at the abDve theatre, for the first time this season. The cast was precisely the same as on former occasions, and, therefore, very little criticism is needed. Herr Formes, who personated Leporello (one of his very best parts), claims our particular attention, for he had not appeared before the London public since last year, and his rentree consequently excited much interest. For the satisfaction, then, of those amongst his numerous admirers who were not present, we may .state that the celebrated German basso has again returned to us in the fullest enjoyment of all his artistic powers, and that both as a singer and an actor he is admirable as ever. Madame Grisi was magnificent as Donna Anna, We never heard her sing the first duet, and the grand recitative leading to the air, "Or sai the l'onore," more finely. Madame Bosio, too, was a most graceful and charming Zerlina, and the parts of Elvira, Ottavio, the Commendatore, and Mwetto were, as of former occasions, done ample justice to by Madlle. Marai, Signori Mario, Tagliafico, and Polonid. Signer Ronconi was the Don Giovanni. In the ball-room scene the minuet was very elegantly danced by Madlle. Cerito and M. Desplaces. The band was all that c , :uld be wished. The orera was warmly applauded, and unanimous encores were awarded to the execution of " Batti, Batti," and " Ye drai Carino," by Madame Bosio, and the trio, " Pro tegga it giusto cielo," sung by Madame Grisi, Madlle. Marai, and Signor Mario. The house was crowded. GREAT HANDEL FESTIVAL. The Festival Orchestra is now exposed to view in its entire extent. Nothing short of a visit can give a due idea of its grandeur. If the space of Exeter-hall were filled lengthways with a series of semicircular benches towering high above the roof, it would convey but an inadequate idea of the extent of the orchestra, which alone far exceeds the area of any music hall in the country. A beautiful effect has been produced by colouring the ranges of benches blue, the division of each seat being brought out with a white line. A considerable improve ment has been effected by the removal of the floor of the galleries immediately in front of the orchestra, an unim peded view of which can now be gained from any of the thousands of 10s. 61. unreserved tickets which it has been determined shall be issued. A private trial of the great organ took place on Monday night before Mr. Costa ; the result was gratifying in the extreme, the gigantic instrument answering to the touch, ar.d giving out the tone with wonderful force. It was stated by 31r. Scott Russell, who happened to be present, that its powerful notes were distinctly heard in the vi lage of Sydenham, a distance of nearly a mile. The police regu lations issued yesterday by the authority of Sir Richard Mayne will, it is anticipated, prevent the least obstruc tion on the roads leading to the Palace, and enable visit ors to set down by either the north or south transepts without any difficulty. The interest excited by the fes. tival abroad and in distant parts of the country is very great. Calculations entered into by the committee show that of the tickets purchased (already considerably ex ceeding in amount the entire expenses of the Festival) more than three-fourths have been sent out of London, many of the purchasers coming from great distances abroad, or remote districts in this country, to attend the Festival. As, in order to permit due provision of seats, barriers, stewards, &c., to be made, the admission to the Palace sill be by tickets only, a notification has been issued, earnestly recommending intending visitors is save thetwelves trouble and confusion at the railway or entrances by securing tickets beforehand—a caution not to be despised when the magnitude of the whole o the arrangements is taken into consideration. COURT OF ALDERISIEN.—At a meeting of the Court yesterday, the resignation by Alderman Eagleton of his gown, on account of severe indisprsition, that will pre vent his attending to business, was tendered and ac cepted. AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—It was stated last week that there would be no Australian mail via Egypt despatched this month on the 12th lest. from SOuthampton, in con sequence of the break down of the Oneida. Yesterday the Postmaster-General gave notice that the Australian mail will be despatched from Liverpool on the night of the 16th inst., by the steamer Eineu, via the Cape of Good Hope. Notice was also given yesterday by the Postmaster-General that mails for the Cape of G Hope will be despatched by the steam transports Mau ritius and Cleopatra, which are expected to leave Ports mouth on the 14th. THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW.--A conference of ministers of religion from various parts of the country as-embled yesterday at the Town-ha, Manchester, to devise mea sures for aiding the *laine Liquor Law movement. Th. sittiege are to continue for several days, and are to he followed by a public meeting at the Free Trade-hall on Thursday. The conference was attended yesterday by 300 persens, and the Rev. Dr. M'Kerrow was elected pro v i s i ona l cchairman,and afterward s a com mittee of management was appoint d, and the Rev. G. T. Fox, incumbent of St. Nicholas' Church, Durham, was appointed permanent chairman. Letters were read from various ministers regretting their inability to at. tend, and a paper was read by the chaplain of the Northampton Gaol speaking of the sad effects that in toxicating drinks have on the people. It is expected that the conference will Aislcv an address to the Queen on the subject. Naval and IYrilital y intelligence.
