Wrzfrw fresh and squally, with sunshine and clouds. rain yesterday afternoon. fssu lr 111* „ i nn , LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1867. The difgculty respecting the Parliamentary Oaths Bill received three discussions yesterday. First, by the deputation of Liberal members who waited on the Premier, and subsequently consi dered the proceedings at that interview. Secondly, by the Rouse of Commons on Lord JOHN RUSSELI:B motion, •for leave to bring in a bill as to the state of the exibtiug law. And, thirdly, in the House of Lords, where the Lord Chief Justice of England, rather irregularly, introduced a debate, under the avowed object of in-. quiring ibto the condition of the judicial busi ness Of the H )use, more parti cu h rly as to the state of the appeal case of " SAnoatn N s v. Mu _ " The results in every case confirm the opi nion ti at it is utterly useless to hope that Lord Jonzir itussELL's Bill can be passed during the present session, and that the representative branch of the L-gislature must decide either on passing Mr. Diumpat's, or some analogous, resolutions, for the purpose of admitting Baron ROTHSCHILD to his seat en taking the oath " in the form most binding on his conscience," or of humbly submit ting to the decision of the Lords, and permitting another body to becom e the judges of their own peculiar rights and p r i v il eges. Oa the first point, we regret t o b e o bli ge d to ,say that we ca n place no confidence in Lord PALMERSTON. He, of course, received the depu tation very courteously, and listened with respect ful deference to their views. No Minister could do otherwise t.,wards so influential a body of his supporters. He could not afford to say, as he recently did of some other Members, that " he cared nothing for their opinions." That would Ise too daring an experiment for the wary tacti cian. But he carefully avoided committing him self in any way. H© stated "that it was impos sible for the Government to promise support to a bill which they had not seen, and of the provi sions of which they were ignorant. That they would give all their support to the introduction of the bill, but could promise nothing as to the future stages." We do not profess to give the ipsissima verbs of the Premier, but such was their tenor and effect. Not very encouraging for those who were contented to keep their own views in abeyance, waiting for what the Government and the House of Lords might do. But this was not all ! Ho justified the schism in the Cabinet on the question—would hold out no hope of the acquiescence of the Go vernment to seating Baron ROTHSCHILD by reso lution, and, "as a matter of tactics, doubted if the bill of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, if it passed through the House of Commons, would not lose much of its effect by being carried up by a smaller majority than supported the Government Bill I" The best that could be gathered from his statement was that "he did not despair of the feeling in the Upper House under going a change." As if that was not sufficient to damp the feelings of the applicants, he took ad vantage of the subsequent discussion in the House "to speak frankly," reserving his opinion until better informed of its provisions, but intimating that, "in the present state of the session, with many important bills pending, he could not undertake to postpone Government business for the purpose of pressing the measure forward." This was the application of cold water with a vengeance. It was similar to the treatment of the poor lunatic, who first received a shower bath of six hundred gallons, and then a considerable dose of the " lowering" mixture. Certainly, there must be 1 great vitality in the principle if it can resist such depressing treatment ! In the House the motion was carried by a ma jority of 92, the numbers being for the bill 246, and against it, 154. Judging, however, from the tone and manner of the Opposition, the agreeable treat which they provided on Saturday, and the tacit encouragement'which they received from the lukewarmness of the Premier, we are confirmed in the belief that there is no hope of the measure passing this session. In order to do so, and to induce the Lords to re-consider their determina tion, it should be pressed forward with the ut most zeal and enthusiasm. It should be regarded as of paramount importance, to which everything else should give place. But when the Lords per ceive that not even a government day would be given up for its discussion, and that Ministers cannot be in earnest, they will display similar per versity to that which has induced them to reject the principle, although assuming so many Protean forms during four successive Parliaments. I. f, therefore, the Commons desire to vindicate their own privileges they must act for themselves, and not expect to avoid the collision through any concession on the part of the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature. It seems to us that there is but one way to bring Lord PALMERSTON to his senses, and to vindicate the honour and character of the popular represen tatives. Let the newbill be affixed as a rider to some of the money bills. We wish it could be to that for the dowry of the Princess Royal, but it has already received the Royal Assent. This, or the bolder and more decisive method, which we have advocated, of admitting Baron ROTHSCHILD by a resolution of the House, would enlighten the mind of the political chameleon, and sum marily dispel the German fog, which at pre sent obscures his vision and clouds his judgment.. Let him be honest and straight forward, and he will have nothing to fear ; but any paltry evasion or thimble-rigging quibbles will deprive him of the independent support he has hitherto received, and leave him in a hopeless minority, deprived of the confidence and good will of the House, which he has abandoned in the hour of emergency. Indeed they have already received an ominous warning. Lord CAMPBELL has stepped forward as the schoolmaster, and administered a sound castigation to those who presumed to assert their own opinions. Ho ventured to impeach a resolu tion of which an Hon. Member of the other House had given notice, and, as we believe, in total violation of order, ho spoke o f a matter still pending in the Commons as a " flagrant usurpation," " a coup d'etat, such as is sometimes resorted to in a neighbouring country bbring about a revolution I" Nay more, he distinctly and unequi vocally indicated what his conduct would be if the question should be brought before him in his judicial capacity, and hoped that "if the House of Commons should order him to be taken to Newgate or the Tower, the people would rise in his defence." This is certainly not what we should have anticipated from the head of the Superior Courts of Common Law, and we shall feel both grieved and astonished if the unseemly threats have not a directly contrary effect to that intended, and if the chosen representatives of the people be not thereby influenced to assert their own inherent and inalienable privileges in an une quivocal and decisive manner. The time has indeed arrived when they must make up their minds to act vigorously, or to sink into insignifi cance—to " awake, arise, or be for ever fallen." It seems more than probable that the Tipperary Joint-Stock and Royal British Banks will not be suffered to stand alone in their glory ! The London and Eastern Banking Corporation, so far at least as the Directors and Managers are con cerned, boldly claims admission into the triad. They appear to have as completely made away with the asset., to have applied the entire paid-up capital, and all that their credit could obtain, for their own private and peculiar benefit, as either of the rival boards. As in the Irish case, a single dictator appears to have e b.. rained the lion's share of the plunder. Cul Mei PETRIE WAUGH has contrived to absorb somethin g more than the entire capital, leaving to his fl - to pluck at the credit of the concern. Ele seems to have dazzled, by his reckless expen- liture, those who must either have been his weak winded dupes, or his criminal associates. A fabu lous value was placed on a property which he had purchased for less thin the one-twentieth part of what he obtained on its security ! And while he was borrowing so largely, and at 12 per cent, interest, from the funds entrusted to his care, ne was living ea prince, as if he were, indeed, the millionaire which he professed to be. The public journals contained daily accounts of his lavish entertainments. The glories of Campdon House and of Branksea Castle were repeated usque ad, protseam, and confiding, shareholders were dazzled with the seemingly boundless wealth of the man, who, altiaough appa_ p, or ro RTu • really p:ssessed of ALADDIN'S lam NATIIS'S purse, was still willing to devote his time and labour for their benefit. At length the bubble burst, and veterans who had retired to enjoy the °Gum cum digititate, and widows who hoped to spend the remainder of their days in com fort, thanks to the, providence of their deceased hus bands, found themselves reduced to destitution, and compelled to endure all the ills of pinching poverty, through the reckless and wanton extrava gance of a single man, and the culpable folly, or something far worse, of his coadjutors. Such a case should be fully developed in all its details. Every portion of the management should be exposed in the clearest light. The delinquents —whoever they may be—should not be secured from public censure. Fortunately for the creditors, it appears that the share holders are able, by impoverishing them selves, to provide for the liquidation of the liabilities of the concern. The public will not suffer very materially, but surely innocent shareholders also require protection ; and it is deplorable to see gallant veterans, help less widows, and innocent children reduced to pauperism or deprived of the comforts, to which they are entitled, and all their future prospects blighted by such iniquitous conduct on the part of those who may be regarded as their trustees, bound to act to the best and utmost of their ability for their interest. It appears that the resolution adopted at a former meeting, that the shareholders should give promissory notes for a sum equal to 250,0001. (being 50/. on each 1001. share, in addition to the 501. already paid), has been already acted on, to the extent of 206,1501., and two calls of 151. each per share have been made on the shareholders, who refused to accede to the proposed arrangements. Under these circum stances, the debts and liabilities are to be privately liquidated, and the matter will not come so prominently under the public notice, as if more stringent measures were adopted. Sufficient has, however, transpired, to show that the whole of the original capital has been squan dered, and that the shareholders must. not only submit to that loss, but must pay further heavy sums to save themselves from ex pensive and ruinous litigation. We may, then, hope that, notwithstanding the private liquidation, the parties guilty of such vile and heartless frauds may not escape with impunity, but that justice may be fully vindicated, and that they may be all dealt with strictly, according to their respective deserts. THE QUEEN OF THE NETHERLANDS.—The Countess Van Buren (Queen of the Netherlands) honoured Earl Cadegan wfth her presence at dinner, at his mansion in Piccadilly, and afterwards went to a ball given by the Countess de Persigny at Albemarle House. The Duke and Duchess of Bucc)euch and the Ladies Scott have left Montagu House, Whitehall, for Beaulieu, in the New Forest.

Ashley Ponson by, second son of the late Lord de Manley, to the Hon. Louisa Gordon, daughter of Lord and Lady Henry Gor• don, and Maid of Honour to her Majesty, was celebrated at All Saints' Church, Knightsbridge, in the presence of a brilliant circle of friends of both families. The minutes of evidence taken before the Mayo County Election Committee were issued yesterday in a huge Mue book of 644 pages. The evidence taken before the Gal• way Committee is also published. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—Prices of yarn are somewhat higher last week, with an exceed- ingly firm market, and a fair amount of business doing.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—As a short passenger train was running from Lincoln to Rettord, on the Manchester, Seffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, on the 15th inst , the engine jumped off the metals just after the train had crossed the Trent-bridge, between Cot tam and Torksey, and all the carriages were thrown off the line. The guard was severely injured. A. letter from Algiers of the 13th inst. gives full details relative to the harvest throughout the French possessions in Algeria. In the province of the east the crops have fully realized the promises of the spring. Wheat and barloy have &ready appeared in large qaanti ties on the market of Bona, and a considerable fall in price has followed. The farms in the distr . ct of Guilma are well cultivated, and the harvest most abundant. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT DT FlRE , — Yesterday, be tween twelve and one o'clook, an accident of a most dis tressing nature occurred at No. 16, Wellington-street, Victoria-park.

THE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS AT CHELMSFORD.— There has been a very natural desire on the part of the Sheriff and other authorities that the two shoul I be executed on the same day, so as to avoid a repetition of the sad scene. Communications were accordingly opens 1 with the Secretary of State, who, after maturely con sidering the subject, was of opinion that the regulation in such cases was imperative, and could not be relaxed. The tx.cution of Crawley for the murder of his wife at Stratford wag therefore fixed for Thursday next, the 23i inst., and of Finch for Wednesday, the 29th. SEWAGH OF TOWNS. — Yesterday the report on the means of deodorising and utilising the sewage of towns, ac'd- esaed to toe Board of Health by Mr. Henry Austin, C.E., chief superintending inspector of the board, and preunted to parliament, was issued as a publication.

LATEST N E CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, July 22, 8 a.m. The Moniteur contains the following : " For more than a month the police has had proof that a plot had been formed in London to make an attempt on the life of the Emperor. Three Italians, charged with the execution of this horrible project, were at Paris, and arrested. The arms also which were to have been used for the perpetration of the crime have been seized ; they consist of poniards, revolvers, arc. Brought to justice, the prisoners had already confessed their crime and revealed the names of their accomplices. The Government notwithstanding suspended the proceedings against them, in order that the eclat of the process might not be regarded as a means of influencing the result of the elections which were about to take place. The proceedings are now resumed, and an ordinance of the Judge of Instruction has sent before the Chamber of Ac cusation all the prisoners arrested, with their ac complices. Their names are Tibaldi, Bartollotti, Grilli (otherwise Saro), Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, Mazarenti, and Campanella." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. A demand has b3en presented to the Council of State for the payment of a sum of 1,700,000 f. on account of the mission of M. de Morny to Russia. 1,700,000 f., or 68,0001., is a very hand some sum. It is not said whether it comprises the whole of the money the mission cost the country. The vouchers (or pieces justificatives) do not usually accompany the demand to the Coun cil of State. They are communicated to the Cour des Comptes when the time comes for that tribunal to investigate the claim, with a view to allow or disallow it. This decision will not be probably before three or four years. A despatch from the French Charge d'Affaires at St. Petersburg announces that the difficulty which had arisen between the Russian authorities and some French subjects who remained at Sebastopol and Kamiesch after the evacuation by the allies, has been completely arranged. The Director-General of Naval Constructions in Cronstadt has arrived in Paris, and the Russian Minister of Marine is said to be at Havre, engaged in completing the investigations commenced by the Grand Duke Constantine. The Councils-General of the Departments are convoked for the 24th of August. The Emperor's visit to Osborne is fixed for the 4th. The Pays, Government paper, contradicts the statement of the lvord, of Brussels, of this day, that in consequence of a counter-order sent from Constantinople, the elections in Moldavia had commenced on the 12th inst. The following private telegraphic despatch has been received : " MADRID, JULY 20. "The law relative to the constitutional reform has been signed by her Majesty. "The Holy Father has sanctioned the sale of the ec clesiastical properties made previously." The Moniteur also publishes a decree relative to the payment of the quarterly instalments by the holders of the new shares of the Bank of France : "Notice is to be given by the Council-General of the Bank of the dates when these payments are to be made. If the shareholder does not pay the instalment by the day fixed, he will be charged an interest of 5 per cent, reck oned from the day when the payment was due. The share. holder in default will receive notice to pay up his instal. meat in arrear, and, if that be not done within 15 days after the said notice, the Bank will have the right of selling at the Bourse the ntiwShare or shares. From the proceeds of that sale it will furnish the capital of I,loof. or the portion of it which remains due ; then pay itself the interest due for the delay ; and the surplus, if any, will be paid into the Caisse des Depots et Consignations to the account of the shareholders. The provisional and de finitive titles of the new shares will be delivered by the Bank under the names in which the old shares stand." The authorities at the Horse Guards have deter mined shut no women or children are to accompany the regiments now under orders to leave this coun try for India. Yesterday there was another field-day at Worms wood Scrubs. The review took place at 10 o'clock, the troops consisting of the Ist and 2d Regiments; of Life Guards and the 11th Hussars. The usual guard at the Horse Guards was reduced in order tip take part in the review. Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, the Inspector-General of Cavalry; commanded. Many military officers of rank were present on the occasion. Mon and horses had a severe day. Captains Driver, Ward, Jackson, and Kinsman are the four selected from the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry to command com panies of the Royal Marine Battalion about to be sent to China under the command of Col. Thomas Halloway, of the Royal Marine Artillery, Aide-de- Camp to her Majesty. The Seringpatam freight ship sailed from Ports mouth yesterday forenoon with 1. field officer, 1 cap tain, 13 subalterns, 1 staff, 11 sergeants, 2 drum mers, 8 corporals, 197 privates, 4 officers' servants, 21 women, and 24 children of the 7th Royal Fusi liers, for iurrachee. The head-quarters of the 7th, consisting of 10 officers, 17 sergeants, 7 drummers, 11 corporals, 228 rank and file, 29 women, and 13 children, were to sail also yesterday afternoon from Spithead for Kurrachee in the freight ship Owen Glendower. As the shies went out to Spithead about half-past 8 yesterday morning their band played Auld Langsyne," and the troops were en thusiastically cheered on their progress by large as semblages of the inhabitants, whose warm gratula tions were vociferously returned by those on board. These ships had not left Spithead at the despatch of this report, at 6 p.m. yesterday, and as it was blowing hard and freshening, it was very doubtful whether they would weigh. The officers and men of the 3d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, enumerated in The Sun of yester day, arrived at Portsmouth, yesterday forenoon from the Camp at Aldershot, and embarked on board the Sutlej freight ship, which will be towed to Spithead this morning, and sail this evening for India. They are armed with the new pattern rifle. Companies No. 6 and 7 of the 14th Battalion of Royal Artillery left Southsea Castle and Block house Fort, Portsmouth, yesterday morning, and proceeded to Woolwich. They comprised 6 officers, 23 non commissioned officers, 220 gunners and drivers, 2 trumpeters, 20 women, and 21 children. The officers are Major Smith, Capt. Bradshaw, Lieutenants Edwardes, Cromartin, Readhead, and Morgan. On Saturday afternoon three Sardinian medals were presented to the sth Dragoon Guards at Peirs hill Barracks. The Hon. Col. Dalzell presented the medals in the absence of Viscount Melville, the recipients being Lieutenant-Colonel M'Mshon, Assistant-Surgeon Cattell, and Lance-Sergeant James Gamble. On Monday the Sardinian medals RESUME OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE were presented to the 34th Regiment at Edinburgh ASSEMBLY.—DELI 2. Castle on the Esplanade—the recipients being DANDOLO—PeopIe complain that we have been Lieutenant-Colonel Simpson, Brevet-MajorJordan, doing nothing, and it was but yesterday that I have Lieut.

Sir,—l know not whether lam trespassing too heavily upon your indulgence under the circum stances, when I solicit the favour of your giving publicity to the accompanying correspondence. The farewell address to the armies of India, re ferred to by me in the course of it is printed in Allen's Indian, Mail, No. 287, of March 4, 1850. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your niost obedient Servant, WILLIAM Goaiar, General. 10, New-Street, Spring-gardens, July 20. "10, New-street, Spring-gardens, July 15. "My dear Lord Melville,—You may, perhaps, think me super-sensitive—and others may think so, too—in what I am going to say. I will, notwithstandiog, run the risk of incurring this reproach, with a view to re lieving myself from a much greater one. "The Times of the 14th r,sperts you as stating to the House of Lords, in the debate of the previous evening that 'you considered the discipline of the Bengal native army while passing under your own observat •1 as being of the worst possible description, and in that light it had been looked upon by the late General Anson, who had in consequence ever since he assumed the command of the array in India deemed it to be his duty to repre sent to the Board of Directors the absolute necessity of increasing the European force in India,' &c. "In your zeal to manifest your preference for the tr ,, ops of Bombay you may not have been aware of the reflection you were thus casting upon those who had the chief supervision of the Bengal force you were ar raigning in. such unqualified terms (I am assuming the report to be correctly given), the obvious, and, I should think, inevitable inference to be deduced from your state ment being, either that the euperintendence was cul pably slack, or that these authorities neglected the duty of apprising the Government of their inability to check the spirit of insubordiaation which they saw growing apace. " But I can in no wise submit to have either charge fastened upon me. The Bengal army was, I maintain, in a perfectly healthy state of discipline when I sur rendered the command, immediately preceding the peaceful occupation and annexation of Oade. "A considerable portion of that army had, indeed, very recently given substantial proof of its good spirit in the suppression, without the assistance of a cor poral's guard of British troops, or any other auxili aries, of the Santal Insurrection, both native men and officers, commissioned and non-commissioned, bearing unusual hardships and privations with admirable tern per and loyalty, and so I felt it my duty to record of Clem in my farewell address to the army at large of January 3, 1856. "To what cause, to what fatality, this strange out break is owing—by what misunderstanding these mise rable men have been led in o such a course of wild excess—l do not pretend to divine. "Neither will I dicuss the question of advancement to the grade of native officers in the three presidencies —the merits or demerits of this or that sptem. " Meantime I am c , ntent to side in opinion on this matter with the Duke of Wellington, and with Lords Hardinge and Gougb, and Sir Charles Napier (see their evidence before the Lords' committee of 1852-3), and it would appear with Lord Ellenborough, since his lord ship records such proofs of surpassing merit falling under his ow❑ observation among the native officers of the several distinguished Bengal corps he brings to the notice of the House. "But, while acting upon• this Bsngal system, you are much deceived if you think that seniority and weight of years alone carried the day under my superintend- ence. Numbers were successively passed over by me, arid I presume by my predecessors in the command, who had no other merit to entitle them to advancement, while I confess that what is called smartness and off handedness' had not alone the ,veight with me, or, I may add, with Sir Charles Napier, which it appears to have commanded elsewhere." "I cannot in reason expect that you will subscribe to my view of the condition of the Bengal army at the period of my relinquishing the command of it after the statements which you have thought proper to make i❑ Parliament respecting it ; and yet it is necessary for my own vindication (while I am writing the report of what passed last night in the House of Commons—the natural result of your statement of the preceding day— comes before me) that the public should understand why I made no report to Government unfavourable to the force in question before quitting its command. " You will hardly b 3 surprised, therefore, to hear me telling you that I may find it necessary to seek to ob tain publicity for this letter in the same columns through which the implied accusation has gone abroad. "Believe me to be always, my dear Lord Melville, Faithfully yours, "W. GOMA "Major-General Viscount Melville, K.C.8." " 7, Portugal street, July 16. "Hy dear Sir William.—l am very sorry you should feel that any observations of mine in relation to the lamentable occurrences in Bengal should in any way cast reflection upon You, as having been recently in command of the Bengal army, and which I had not the slightest intention of doing. Neither did I say that Gen. Anson concurred in the view I took of the bad state of discipline of that army. All I did say in reference to Anson was the pre valent report, that ever since he bad been in command he had represented the necessity of an increase to the European force, and of which no notice had been taken. I said nothing about his view of the discipline of the army, because I knew nothing of his opinions. Of Lord Harding° and Sir Charles Napier I had more knowledge, and the unfavourable opinion which the latter entertained is recorded in the history of his life. Entertaining the worst opinion privately, Lord Har diege never could express it publicly, trying thereby to bolster up a bad system, on the ground of the impolicy of making public the slight thread by which we held our tenure of that empire. " I do not pretend to interfere with any view you may entertain, no person being better able to come to a just conclusion than yourself. I formed my own from wbat I saw and what came directly under my own knowledge. Without co-operation from the Court of Directors and their cordial support I do not believe it was in your power or the Governor-General's combined to reform the bad system which prevails in the Bengal army in every detail. r`Sir Charles Napier's exdression in 1849, when seve ral regiments mutined, two of the number being those at Rawul Pindee under Sir Colin Campbell, and which in some degree concerned me, that we were sitting on a mine which nobody could tell when it might explode, has only come too true. "Sir Edward Paget's opinion, given 30 years ago, has only proved how true an estimate he formed of the morale of the Bengal native infantry. It would require too much detail to ent,r into all the circumstances which have conduced to the formation of the opinion I enter tain of the system ftllo wed and the discipline maintained in the Bengal native army, and even the Company's European force in that Presidency. " That opinion was formed before you came to India, and you may believe me that I am not singular in that opinion ; but at the same time entirely repudiate all in tention, and most distinctly all inclination, to cast any reflection on you while administering a i , ystein bad in itself, and which you could only struggle by every means in your power to strengthen and uphold. " Believe me yuurs very sincerely, " MELVILLE. " General Sir %Valiant Gomm, K.C.8." "10, New-street, Spring-gardens, July 17- "My dear Lord Melville,—l am thankful to you for your explanations in reply to my letter of the 15th. " Still I cannot consider myself relieved by the excuses which you furnish me from the imputation of complicity, proceeding highly reprehensible at least, in a course of to my mind, in one belling the chief Indian command through no inconsiderable term, if really indulged in, and my conscience repudiates it. " I really believed the Bengal native army deserving of the encomiums with whic:i I took leave of it in my parting address of January, 3, 1856 ; and the di.astroas occurrences of the present hour in no wiQ lead me to the conclusion that I was then self•deceived, whole posi tively no sharer in the policy of deceiving others. " The facts upon which you ground your sweeping condemnation of the Bengal system are, indeed, wholly indefensible as individual traits. As a counterpoise, bear Lord Hardinge vouching in his examination before the Lords' Committee of 1852-3 for the enduring con• stancy manifested by the Bengal army in thenias:, \N hen confronted with the Sikhs at the same period, under severer temptation to revol'. - than the force of either of the other Presidencies was ever exposed to ; and whe ther attributable to the much-abused influence of caste, pension in prospect, or whatever other motive proper to Bengal, there stands the fact, lastingly t,) the crodit of its native army, and requiring no deduction in the report on the score of p licv to trim it for favourable acceptance with the world. " For all these reasons I am taking leave to place our correspondence before the public as it stands; it commits you in no war, beyond your already rce mled opinions, while it may have the effect of relieving me from a cer tain shaze of blame to which I do not consider myself amenable, with some minds. —I am always, my dear Lord Melville, faithfully yours, " W. Gumm, "Major-General Viscount Melville, K.C.8."

There they were drawn up in line, and a company fired upon them. It happened that the ►olley killed two persons, who, eluding the vigilance ci the sentinels placed to keep the ground, had got in rear of the criminals. The deaths that had taken place in consequence of the insurrection amount to 98 ; 25 in the affair of Benaojan ; one shot in the first instance in Seville ; 24 on Saturday ; 18 on the 13th ; 15 at Utrera ; 13 at Arabal ; and the two killed by accident.' TIE lONIAN ISLANDS. i into office, and . if they are dropped I should not hold the place. PHILLIPPAS —The petition, it is said, has been put in circulation for the last three months. I suspect therefore that the police has been conniving at it. DANDOLO-If a petition bad been circulating praying fur a union with Greece, the police would have seized it and torn it, Why do the police of the Advocate-General not perform their duty in in the present instance ? ADVOCATE-GENERAL—This takes me unawares ; no proposition hag been laid on the table. I re quire time to answer. - LOMBARDO—The police have no right to interfere, each lonian has the right of petitioning. But no Corfuote, I am sure, has the most distant wish to see Corfu become an English colony ; and there is none in the other islands who is not horror-struck by such an idea. [Many voices repeat, " There is none.") Not only is every lonian ready to make use of every means in his power to object to any petition for colonisation, but he is at the same time willing to sign with a pen dipped in his own blood, " That union with Greece is our sole wish and de nte." [The President got up, and with him all the members of the house, crying, with enthusiasm " Yes, yes, yes."] Let us, therefore, prove to the foreigner, what we have already proved, that what is most grateful to us is to get rid of his protection. Curd—lf a petition praying for the union with Greece bad been circulating, the Government would not have left a stone untouched to discover it. Why does the Government take no steps at pre sent ? It is not for the members of Corfu alone to move ; they must be supported by the'sister islands. [M. Marino gets up, and with him ail the members of the other six islands, shouting with enthusiasm, " We are ready le sacrifice all we have for oursister Corcyra, and for twe whole Greek nation."] Who will be surety for the tranquility of this place? But let us put a stop to all other proceeding as a demonstra tion of our sentiments towards the Government and the protection. DANDOLO ,- -I propose that M. Candoni and the inspector of police be summoned and examined before the house. MARINO—I agree with M. Dandolo, and propose further—first that a committee of inquiry be ap pointed ; secondly, that the Government be in vited to inform us what it knows of the subject matter, and what steps have been taken by the same. YALAJRITI-If such an infernal plot has been contrived I scorn half measures, but am ready to go thither where the question may be solved at once, sacrificing for that purpose the last penny I pos sess, my children, and all that I have. PA DOVAN—I assure you that if any base creature who shall have participated in the scheme should happen to put his foot on any part of the country where I have influence he shall find his grave there, for the grave is the proper place for such abomin able and flagitious beings. .LOMBARDO—We have voted to-day unanimously our national resurrection. Thanks to you, Mr. President, you have been the first to rise and vote for it ; thanks to you, members of the house, and particularly to you, Cefalonist4, you have been amongst the first to declare that you subscribe with your blood the unio❑ with Greece. Who dare now say that the foreigner can find any support in these islands ? PRETENDERI—FIe can find none. LOMBARDO —W th enthusiasm and unanimity we have voted our national resurrection ; hencefor ward, therefore, it is by force only that the pre sent political system can be kept up. Order, there fore, that our proceedings of to-day be printed forthwith. The house unanimously ordered the printing thereof. ADVOCATE-GENERAL—We are a Greek independ ent State like Greece, with the sole difference thlt we are under Brai-h protection. We all wish for the greatness and the glory of the nation ; but the question as to when a union with Greece and the whole nation will take place, must be thcided by time and by circumstances. The house unanimously appoints a committee of inquiry, and is adjourned. (Signed) FL A INIPOURIARIS, President. J. D ij uussm i, ANl, } Secretaries. Naval and Military Intelligence.
