HULL ELECTION Mr. MALINs moved to rescind a sessional order requiring two days' notice of the issue of a writ, with a view to the issue of a new writ for the city of Gloucester. After a short discussion the motion was agreed to, and the House ordered that a new writ issue. VOLUNTEERS Lord ELeno moved for copies of any reports relative to the instruction of volunteers in the Government Musketry School at Hythe. His purpose in making this motion was to ascertain what was really the intention of the Govern- • • ment on the subject. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT was at a loss to - know why the noble lord should suspect the good faith of the Government in this matter. He himself had done all he could - to for ward their interests Lord PALMERSTON expressed his sense of the great import ance of forming artillery corps in the seaport towns. He was sure the vernment would feel: it their duty to do All in their power to assist in the formation of volunteer corps, when they had reason to believe that such corps would be permanent. The motion was then agreed to. The remaining orders of the day were then gone through. THE PROROGATION. The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar, and summoned the Commons to the House of Lords.

Coleridge as umpire. THE ARGO INQUIRY. DUBLIN; Saturday Evening. • Mr. F. T. Porter and Captain Harris sat to-day at the Custom-house, when the regulations under which the Argo sailed were handed in, and also a conver sation, stating that the Argo on her voyage from St. John's put on all sail in a fog. Mr. Porter and C a pt. Harris retired to consult, and after about an hour returned into court, and stated they had come to a decision, which, however, before being made public, should be communicated to the Board of Trade. It is understood that the Assessors mean to state as their opinion, that the loss of the ship did not arise from any wilful act on the part of their captain, but it was a grave omission by him not to have " slowed" the speed of his vessel on the coming on of the fog that was admitted to have prevailed, the finding to be accompanied with a recommendation of the case to the lenient consideration of the board. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THE PROROGATION. HOUSE OF LORDS.- At a late hour this afternoon Parliament was prorogued by royal commission. It was known that the Queen would not be present, and consequently but little interest was excited by the ceremony. The commission under the ,oTeat seal, authorising the lords commissioners therein named to prorogue the present Parliament was read by the clerk at the table, as also a second commission, authorising. the lords commissioners to give the royal assent to several public and private acts agreed upon by both Houses, amongst which were the Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill, Stamp Duties Bill, Customs (No. 2) .Bill, East India Loan Bill, Militia Pay Bill, Corrupt Practices Continuance Bill, Reserve Volunteer Force of Seamen Bill, Inclosure Acts Amendment Bill, Stock in Trade Exemption Bill, Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill, Episcopal and Capitular Estates Continuance Bill, In closure Bill, Poor-law Board (Payment of Debts) Bill, Medical Acts Amendment Bill, Weights and Measures Acts Amendment Bill, Militia Laws Amendment Bill, Coinage Bill, Probate and Letters of Administration (Ire land) Bill, Police (Counties and Boroughs) Bill, Westatin ster New Bridge Bill, Law Ascertainment Facilities till, Charitable Trusts Acts Continuance Bill, Charitable Provi dent Societies Bill, European Troops (India) Bill, Divorce Court Bill, Imprisonment for Small Debts Bill, Bankruptcy and Insolvency (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, Sale of Gas Bill, Sessional Divisions Bill, Thames Waterman and Light erman Bill, and a large number of railway and other private bills. _ _ _ The Lord Chancellor, remaining seated, then read THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. MT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by Her Majesty to release you from further attendance iu Parliament, and at the same time to convey to you Her Majesty's acknowledgment for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the performance of your important duties during the ses sion of parliament now about to close. Various circumstances, which occasioned interruptions in the usual course of business, prevented the comple tion of important meatuns which Her Majesty pointed out to the attention of her Parliament at the beginning of the present year ; but Her Majesty trusts that those matters will be taken into your earnest consideration at an early period of the next session. The war which had broken out in Northern Italy having been brought to a close by the peace of Villafranca, various overtures have been made to her Majesty with a view to ascer tain whether, if Conferences should he held by the great powers of Europe for the purpose of settling arrangements connected with the present state and future condition of Italy, a plenipotentiary would be sent by Tier Majesty to assist at such Conferences ; but Her Majesty had not received the information necessary to decide whether she may think fit to take . part in any such negotiations. Tier Majesty would rejoice to find herself able to contribute to the establishment of arrangements calculated to place the general peace on a satisfactory and lasting foundation. Her Majesty, in accordance with the stipulations of the treaty of Tiensing, has instructed her plenipotentiary in China to repair to the Imperial Court at Pekin, and Her Majesty trusts that such direct communication with the imperial Government will have a beneficial effect upon the relations between, the two countries. Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she looks forward with confidence •to the continued maintenance of those friendly relations whieh so happily subsist between Her Majesty and all foreign Powers and States. Her Majesty is glad to be able to congratulate you on the complete restoration of tranquility in her Indian dominions. It will be her earnest endeavour to promote their internal improvement, and to obliterate the traces of those conflicts which Her Majesty witnessed with such deep concern. The financial arrangements of that portion of her Ma jesty's empire will continue to engage Her Majesty's serious attention. Her Majesty has had much satisfaction in giving her assent to the bills which you presented to her for the formation of a naval and military reserve force. A com plete and permanent system of national defence must at all times be an object of paramount importance. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty commands us to convey to you her cordial thanks for the readiness and zeal with which you have pro vided the necessary supplies for the service of the year. MY. LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, Her Majesty commands us to express to you her heartfelt gratification at witnessing the general well-being and con tentment which prevails throughout her domimons. The happiness of Her Majesty's people is the object dearest her heart. In returning to your respective counties, you will have duties to perform intimately connected with the attainment of this great end ; and Her Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your exertions in the performance of those duties for the common good of all classes of Her Majesty's subjects. - HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATURDAY, The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock. NEW WRITS. New writs were issued for Hertford, in the room of the Right Hon. W. Cowjuer, who has become Vice-President of the Board of Trade; for Liskeard, in the room of Mr. Grey; and for Berwick-on-Tweed, in the room of Mr. Earle. THE PONTEFRACT INQUIRY. Mr. WESTREAD adverted to the report of the Pontefract Committee, and directed the attention of the hon. member (Mr. Overend) to the concluding paragraphs. He thought that, under the circumstances, the hon. member ought to resign his seat. (Cheers, and No, no.) The report recom mended that Mr. Childers should be restored to his former position ; but that was impossible, unless a resignation took place, for Mr. Childers had long been before the House with a vast 'array of witnesses prepared for the inquiry, which could not now take place this session. He moved that the report be now read. (Cries of Oh, oh.) Mr. CRAWFORD seconded the motion. Mr. C. SELWYN said what the paragraph meant Was, that as there was a misconception between the parties, both par ties should be placed in their original position, as though no agreement had been entered into. He was a member of the committee, and drew up the paragraph. He knew that that vas the intention of the committee in agreeing to it, and he did not see that the -hon. member (Mr. Westhead) hsd any ground for calling up= Mr. Oyerend to resign. The Pontefract petition might easily be referred to 'another committee ; and he moved, as an amendment, that the order fort" 1 1--"--- 4- " A - keliarzed. '• • irontetract petniou ok; G. GREY said the House could always make good an error of its own, but this was n o error of the House. The a __ the , Parties to their original NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Sir J. PARINGTON said he had read the report in the papers, and his conviction - at once was, that the two gen.: tlemen should be placed in the pogitfon in which they for merly stood.. (Hear, hear.) Then the question came whether that could be done. He did not think that the authority of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Sir G. Grey), high as it was, should decide the matter, but that the sense of the House should be taken. Mr. OVEREND said he thought the petition. should be restored. He did not fear the result, and he should be. glad if the HouSe could put Mr. Childers in the position he formerly occupied, If that could p.ot be done, he felt that Mr. Childers should not be prejudiced, and he would recommend that , Sir George Grey and Sir J. Pakington should namo any gentlemen who should decide what should be done, and he would at once submit to their decision. • The original motion was withdrawn, and Mr. Selwyn's amendment became the original question. Mr. WALPOLE thought that the House, could not concur in the motion, as the House had nothing to do with it. Mr. JAMES took the same view. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the motion ought to be negatived. The proposal made by the hon. member for Pontefract was a very fair one, and he considered that that was the only satisfactory manner in which the case could be met. • Mr. SELWYN withdrew dropped THE TREATY WITH CHIN Mr. GREGSON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when he expectell the treaty with China would be ratified ; whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to require the Chinese fully to carry out the con ditions of the treaty ; and, whether the Emperor of China would be invited to accredit a permanent ambassador to this Court Lord J. RUSSELL replied that it was the intL Majesty's Government to require the fulfilment of the tre, in question ; and that, although the Emperor may not im mediately accredit an ambasssdor, something of the kind would eventually be done. COMMITTEE OF POSTAL CONTRACTS Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that early next session he should call the attention of the House to the constitution of the committee on postal contracts as being inconsistent with the practice of the House ; that a committee appointed to investigate a subject involving questions of personal charac ter should be impartially constituted. the session ng done 1 - rv - Chin £l,OOO s: CENTRAL ITALY parents LATER FROM THE CAPE GP GOOD HOPE.

THE LATE TRIAL FOR SEDUCTION AT THE ASSIZES. — We understand that the defendant in the action for seduc tion, " Walker v. Entwistle," tried at the assizes on Friday last, intends to move for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. It will be remembered that the jury awarded the plaintiff £lOO damages. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Yesterday morning, a man, named James Chaplin, a watchmaker, residing in Gordon-street, Everton, fractured his right thigh, by falling from the top of a.wall at the back of his lodgings. He was endeavour ing to get into the house without disturbing the family when the accident occurred. BRUTAL OUTRAGE ON A SEAMAN.—Yesterday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a coloured seaman, named Jas. Williams, residing in George-street, was knocked down close to his own door, by a man who came up to him, and, without the slightest provocation, made the attack upon him. The poor fellow, who received a frightful scalp wound, was conveyed to the Northern` Hospital, where he now lies iu a precarious position. Boy RUN OVER.—As one of the Mill-street omnibusses was passing aiong Park-lane on Saturday, it ran over a poor boy, crossing the street, who, being a cripple, was unable to get out of the way. We understand that his leg was broken, and he was otherwise seriously, if not fatally, injured. This thoroughfare is much too narrow for the traffic there is in it; and until the arrangements for widening it, now in progress, are completed, it will be difficult, without unusual care, to avoid a recurrence of serious accidents. A PEAL OF BELLS FOR ST. JAMES'S CHURCH, WEST DERBY.—We have much pleasure in stating that a peal of bells are at present being hung in the tower of St. James's Church, Mill-lane, West Derby, and that in all probability they will be heard for the first time on Sunday next. They-are six in number, and have been cast by Messrs. Marsden Brothers, of this town. The cost is between £5OO and £6OO, the whole of which has been contributed by Mrs. Thornton the lady who so mun ifi cen tly f urn i s h e d f un d s f or the building of the church several years ago.

Mr. Monk, the incumbent; and the communion service ,by the ,Rey. Mr. Maddocks, the curate. The Rev. Mr. Maddocks then ascended the pulpit, and having repeated the Bidding Prayer, he took for his text the 21st verse of the 7th chapter of St. Matthew. From thiS portion of Scripture he preached an impressive sermon, suitable to the occasion. After the sermon, their lordships, along with his worship the Mayor, and Mayoress, a n d others, partook of the holy communion.

The assembly deci.ded on two previous occasions that the scheme shall be worked for the future by the British Emigration Commissioners, and th Cape Agency shall be abolished. The Government hav6 done their best to keep Mr. Field in office, but the House would not hear of it. Last week, after nearly all the members were gone—at least when there were but eighteen in the House—the ten who have gone with the Government in support of the Cape Agency were all mustered, and hence there was a majority of two over eight. The feeling out of doors is unquestionably very strong, and in accord ance with the previous decisions of the House of Assembly, and it is strongly opposed to juvenile im migration. fear, or there will be The " Bill to incorporate the Simon's Town Dock Company" has passed through both branches of the Legislature. A patent slip, recently imported by Messrs. De Pass, Spence and Co., has been purchased by this company for £5,000, and is shortly to be laid down, for the purpose of repairing or overhauling vessels which may put into Simon's Bay. Major-General Wynyard, the Lieutenant-Governor, has returned to head quarters at Graham's Town, after having visited the outports on the frontier and in Kaffraria. Everything quiet and peaceful in that direction. The emigrant ship Bride, arrived on the 26th June, after a passage of seventy days, from South ampton. The Majority of the emigrants have already found good employment, and thOse remaining at the depot will very soon be engaged. The Executive Council of tht Transvaal Republic have officially informed Governor Grey that there is no intention on the part of the inhabitants of that State to attack the mission-station of Kuruman, oc cupied by the venerable Moffat. Prom Natal we have received news to the —.— June. The contention between the Legislative Council and the Home Government, respecting the £5,000 native reserve, was likely to be satisfactorily adjusted by accepting' the compromise offered by Sir E. Bulwer Lytton in his last despatch. This was to the effect that the Council shall agree to an increased sum for native purposes beyond £5,000 ; and that the whole amount so agreed upon shall be applied by the Ex ecutive, under the provisions of an act of the Legis lature, and not be subject to annual vote in the estimates bill, which seems to be the principal ob jection urged against the views hitherto maintained by the Conncil. 23rd of Her Majesty's steam transport Perseverance, Commander Power, had embarked Captain Conolly's company of Artillery at Natal, and was to proceed to England in the middle of the month. It wE expected that Sir G. Grey would ' we by that vessel The Ulysses, the vessel picked up abandoned at sea, and. rought into Algoa Bay, would probably be able to proceed on her voyage after repairs. The Glencoe, Ostrich, and Spirit of the Age had put into Table Bay for repairs; and the Covenanter and Medium had put 'into Algoa Bay, leaky. The crew of the W®olfe, from Kooria Mooria, had been picked up at sea, that vessel haVing been abandoned. They were landed at Table Bay. The Fort George was ready for sea; the Stebonheath anclkWarrior were repairing ; and the Lismoyden would probably be condemned. Respecting commercial affairs we have little to report. There is a continued depression in business, owing to the uncertainties occasioned by the in telligence from Europe. Coals sold during the week at 655. and even 70s. per ton. The price of brown Rice has advanced, and is not attainable under 225. 6d. per bag. Importations of white Rice have caused an apparent decline from former quotations, but they were almost nominal, and may now be taken as selling at 30s, per bag, with good inquiry. The Coffee market has been badly supplied owingio the loss of one of the regular Rio traders, on Cape Point ; Bra zilian, 755. per 1001bs. gross weight. For Sugar higher prices are asked, but the demand is limited. In Teas, no change. Of Timber, the only arrivals have been from Bremen; . 3,500 Deals met a ready sale, at sd. per running foot of 3x 9. In Bread stuffs- there has been an advance, , ,owing, in a great measure, to the knowledge that few importations can be expected from the United States. The de mand for consumption in England is very great, and the price of Wheat had advanced there very greatly. Orders for the Eastward of the best kinds of Cape Flour are in course of execution. Exchange on England has advanced, owing to the pressure on the Money market, and remittances were rather heavily made by the last mail. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE THE DEANERY OE RIPON.—We understand that Lord Palmerston has conferred the 'deanery of Ripon, rendered vacant by the death of the Ron. and Rev. Dr. Erskine, on the Rev. Thomas Gamier, 8.C.L., rector of Trinity Church, Marylebone. The new dean, who is a son of the Very Rev. Dr. Gamier, Dean of Winchester, was educated at Worcester College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1830. In 1.830 hi became a• fellow of All 'Souls', and in 1835 he was married to'. Lady Caroline Elizabeth, daughter of the fourth • Earl .of Albemajrle. Having filled some minor mites m the 'Church, he was presented by the Earl of LeiceSter, in 180, IA the rectory of Longford, near Ashbourne, Derbyshire ; and this living he held until 1850, in which year he was presented by Lord John Russell, who was then Prime Minister, to the rectory of the district parish of Trinity, Remarks on th e P oor -law," St. Ma r yl e b one. li e was for many years c h aplain to the House of Commons ; and ceased to hold that office when Mr. Shaw Lefevre, th e Speaker (now Viscount,Eversley), was elevated to the peerage. lie is thesitation, author and of "Plain occa sional sermons, and is an ardent supp orter of the evangelical assize, vi section of th e Church.

The high prices realized at the annual Dutch sale of tin were not anticipated, and, in connexion with the sudden and unexpected termination of the war, caused much excitement in the foreign markets and also in our own. Here block tin gained fully 3c. per lb., tinplate about 50c. per box, or only five per cent., while ten per cent. has been established on the same article in Eng land ; and even before the movement, it did not pay to im port. Copper and spelter have also advanced, and are quite buoyant. There is no change to note in bar iron, but holders manifest no desire to effect sales at the current rates. The imports for July, 1859, are :—lron—bar and bundle, 3,517 tons; sheet, 4,752 bundles; pig, J,535 tons. Tin and terneplate--18,130 boxes. Pnovisioxs.—Pork—The market was less active, and prices lower. The sales embraced about 600 to 700 bbls., including mess at $l5 12L-e. to $l5 15c. ; thin mess at $l4 25e. ; and prime at $lO 81c. to $lO 874 c. Beef was heavy, with the turn of the market in favour of purchasers. The sales embraced 260 bbls., including country prime at $6 to $6 50e. ; country mess at $8 to $8 621 c. ; and repacked Western mess at $l2 25c. Cut meats were quiet and heavy, at 6,1 c. to 61c. for shoulders, and at Bc. to 81c. for hams.

The extraordinary number of runs made, (collective)y 699, being an average of nearly 16 per player in each innings,) Shows that the batting was first-rate on both sides. Although the Northern gentlemen were defeated, they proved themselves per fect artists, and " fit to go from home." Mr. Walker. on the part of the South, it will be seen, ran up a score of 69, and ox Saturday afternoon several bets were laid that Mr. Makinson (Manchester Club) would beat him; th e chance, however, was not afforded him, as he brought his bat out with the respectable number of 63 to his name, and at a time when he was evidently in the humour for mis chief, as he made several splendid hits for four each in the last half hour.

Mutual 'explanations were made, and their difficulties adjusted. The Opata Indians were committing great ravages inNorthern Sonora, shooting men and ravish ing women. The troops seem afraid to attack them. Advices from St. Joseph of the 30th ult. state that a band of Omaha Indians had been attacked on the Plains by a large party of Sioux, and seventeen killed and the same number wounded. The Omahas took five Sioux scalps.. The fight took place on the night of the 2 d ult., about one hundred miles from De - cat in Nebraska Territory We have some later news from California, received by the overland mail via St. Louis. The loss by fire at Weaverville, on the sth of July, is estimated irds of $lOO,OOO. Great excitement existed in Nevada and iPldorado counties, in consequence of the discovery of new and extensive gold diggings on Walker's river, east of the Sierra Nevadas. Business was more active at San Francisco, but there was no improvement in prices. The business portion of Chip's Flat, in Sierra count", was burnt on the 9th. Loss 517,000. On the same day the town of Rough and Ready, in Nevada county, was nearly all destroyed by fire. Loss $75,000. Advices from Fort Smith, Texas, state that the Creek and Cherokee Indians are at open hostilities, in consequence of several murders committed by the forme tribe. Four hundred Creeks are armed, and awaiting the movements of the Cheerokees. By an arrival at New Orleans, we have interesting news from Northern Mexico. There had been 230 deaths from yellow fever at Reynosa. On the 22nd ult. General Degollado was at Tampico, actively preparing for a new campaign. General Garcia was ' Matamoros, endeavouring to obtain additions to force. The Juarez decree had been most - ly received. The five million conducta was on its way to Brownsville. It was reported that Santa Anna was at Caquetel, but this was not believed. nthusiasti COMMERCIAL. NEW YORE, August 3 The Foreign Exchange market continues t o droop, and the quotations of yesterday, viz., 1101 for bankers' 60-day sterling bills, and 110 5-6 to for short sight, are maintained with difficulty. This week's steamer will not take out much over half a million of dollars, if the shipment reaches that figure. On the other hand, yester day's quotations for money are very firmly maintained, and the market is hardening on the basis of 6to 7 for call loans, • with very littl e business below the higher rate, and 8 per cent. for hrst-class mercantile paper over 60 days. A very slight further advance in the rates for money would exercise a marked effect on the exchange market and the exports of specie. Notwithstanding the heavy imports, if money were worth 8 and 9 per cent. here, while it ranges from 3 to 4 throughout Europe, many European bankers would leave their balances on this side, ,, and money would be borrowed in London for use here. That this will be the case before long there is every reason to expect. The exports of the week are large, nearly as large as those of 1857. We notice a shipment of flour to Liver pool, and re-shipment of German dry goods to Hamburg. If some of our foreign importers were to send back whence they came a cargo or two of the dry goods which are pour ing in, they would probably save money. The following is the comparative statement of the exports (exclusive of snemel Tew York to foreign 'ports, for the week, and-since' Wor the week reviously . reported 1857. 1858. 1859. 81,202,879 934,545 1,193,255 .39,366,955 36,000,865 36,106,077 Since Jan. 1 540,569,834 36,935,410 37,299,332 The Stock Market continues to be dull and uninteresting. The revival of public confidence in stocks and in railroads is naturally slow, and the operators for a fall have had a long chapter of accidents in their favour. The small earnings of the railroads, the war in Europe, the unsettled condition of the money market, and now, last of all, the unwise policy of the banks' in refusing to accommodate themselves to cir cumstances and to contract with more vigour, have all helped the bare interest, and depressed stock values. As these causes cease to operate, we shall witness a different state of things. COTTON From the circular of Messrs. W. P. Wright and Co., we make the following extract : This market, under the Europa's favourable advices, became active, at an advance of lc. to g A c. per lb. Subse quently, with the later news per Ocean Queen, the demand relaxed, a part of the advance was lost, and the market closed quictiy at our quotations. The total sales for the week are estimated at 12,000 bales, taken principally by speculators and shippers ; the export during the . same time has been—to Liverpool, 1,720 bales; Havre, 378.
