Yesterday, Sir James Graham, chair man of the Committee, announced that the Com mittee had arrived at the unanimous decision that the preamble of the bill was not proven. So that Liverpool will still retain the jurisdiction of the whole of the river Mersey. In the House of Commons last night the Secre tary of the Treasury stated that the al rangements for the postal communication between London and Dublin was now nearly complete. The arrangement was, that the steamboat company should provide four vessels, of 300 feet long, 1,700 tons burden, and with engines of 1,500 horse power, capable of being worked up to 3,000, and that the journey should be completed in eleven hours. Sir James Graham brought up the report of the Committee upon the Liverpool Town and Dock Dues Bill. In the House of Lords, no business of importance was transacted. It is now more than probable that, in a few days, Mr. George Henry Moore will be relieved from the arduous task of representing the county of Mayo. A petition is now at hearing before a committee of the House of Commons ; and, familiar as we are with priestly intimidation and vagabondism at elections, anything approaching to what has been given in evidence in this case has not occurred since O'Connellism ruled the roast. The examination of Archbishop Mac Hale, which we give at full length in to-day's paper, will well zepay perusal. It is stated, on very good authority, that the Em peror and Empress of the French are not simply to visit the Queen at Osborne, but will also go to Manchester, to see the Exhibition of Art there. The King of the Belgians arrived in England yes terday on a visit to her Majesty. A London cotemporary of yesterday says :—We are authorised to state that, though the subject of the importation of free blacks into the West Indies, was mentioned in the course of the conversation between Lord Palmerston and a deputation of the West India body, introduced by Lord Shaftesbury, the noble Eirl is decidedly opposed to such an experiment, regarding it as perilous in the extreme. An evening paper in the course of some remarks upon this subject, moral right to subject Africans, whom we may transport to the West Indies for the advantage of West Indian proprietors, to extraordinary mor tality ? In the annual reports laid before Parliament it is shown how great is the want of medical skill and science in the West Indies, and how frightfully the peasantry have suffered from this want. Yet, notwithstanding, the West India body propose a wholesale emigration of raw Africans to their sugar estates. Heaven forgive them ! The excitement respecting Little's Murder, is even greater now in Dublin, than it was when the outrage was perpetrated. At the examination of the prisoner on Thursday Mr. Carrew, on behalf of the prisoner, made an appeal to the Press. He said—" The unfortunate man at the bar most ear nestly and respectfully requests that there shall not be any insertion in the newspapers of reports and rumours about him. Some things have been stated which are perfectly groundless, and they are calculated to create a prejudice against him in the public mind. I trust, therefore, that the gentle men of the press will, in mercy to the unfor tunate man, abstain from the publication of any rumours until the trial is over, and confine themselves to reporting what occurs in this court, which they always do with accuracy." Mr. Porter, the presiding magistrate, said he never knew a more reasonable request. "It is seldom that I offer an opinion on any matter before me beyond what is strictly necessary in the discharge of my duty ; but I must say that in this case a most extraordinary number of what I can only characterise as imaginative fictions have been placed before the public. God knows every one, in a well-ordered community, must desire that so 'rightful anl awful an atrocity as beyond all doubt was committed amongst us should be brought home to the guilty party, and the perpetrator of it punished ; but, at the same time, we ought all to recollect that the greater public benefit is rendered by the majesty of the law being asserted—not only in punishment, but in the merciful care of the rights add interests of every subject. Nothing should be said or done calculated to prevent the prisoner from having a fair, impartial, and un prejudiced trial." We again supply our readers with an elaborate report of the further proceedings in the trial of Miss Smith, in Edinburgh, for murder. The ex amination of the witnesses for the prosecution will not terminate before Monday, and it is likely that the trial will not terminate before Wednesday. Of local news of any importance there is a great scarcity. We may call attention to a letter signed " A Juror," in this day's paper. It relates to a very singular case of sudden death in Birkenhead, and if the facts are really as they are there stated, they are a disgrace to a civilised community. We hope that an investigation will be made into the affair. It is understood that an amalgamation between the Royal West India Mail Company and the European and Australian Royal Mail Company has been agreed upon, subject to the approval of the shareholders. The news from abroad i s ver y interesting. An insurrectionary movement has br o k e n out in Italy. Ito political aspect and peculiarities are yet un known, and we m ust await details before pro nouncing an opinion. This revolutionary attempt appears to have bee n n made i n t wo p l aces, at Leg horn and at the island of Pouza belonging to Naples. At Leghorn the movement was very soon suppressed, and a N eapol itan frigate scattered the other insurgents, and took from them a steamer which they had managed . to m ake them se l ves masters of. A despatch, v i a Paris, states th at t h e movements are organized by Mazzini, but what reliance we are to give to the statement is not made known. 200 arrests have . been made in Genoa, and muskets and ammun ition have been seized. Naples is tranquil. A dangerous conspiracy appears to exist in France against th e E mperor ' s lif e , an dby our Paris advices it would appear that the affair is of a more serious character than was originally supposed. The persons taken into custody are also more numerous ; successive arrests, either in conse quence of disclosures made by accomplices or obtained from papers found at their lodgings, have increased the number from three to twenty-one; I doubt whether it will rest here. Their examina tion by the Judges d'lnstruction is still going on, and it is said that abundant proofs exist of their culpability. Few authentic particulars have transpired as to their plans, or the modes by which these plans were to be carried out. The main object, however, was to get rid of the Emperor; the overthrow of the Imperial regime would follow, as a matter of course, as well as the re-establishment of the Red Re public. They belong to the same school as Pianori, and their object is the same. They , are also said to be connected with the conspi rators arrested in Genoa, who proposed to proclaim the Republic in that city. This is the account given by official people, who appear to have no doubt, from the documentary and other evidence in their possession, of bringing the matter home to them. They will be tried by the Court of Assizes of the Seine. A few who, except on the clearest and most undenible proof, are generally incredulous in those matters, dwell on the coincidence of this new plot against the Emperor and the elections, as if get up by the police with a view to excite the fears of the bourgeoise. The Bank returns are again of a favourable cha racter. Last night's Gazette states that the bullion in the Bank coffers is 11,378,872 e., being an increase of 206,0101. on the returns of the previous week. THE Educational Conference held the other day, under the presidency of the Prince Consort, and attended by so many distinguished and enlightened men, will do good, though not all the good that was expected. No good and en lightened effort is without result. We may not be able to measure it, and we may suppose that it has produced no effect, but action and re action are true in the moral as in the natural world. A pebble dropped into the Mersey pro - duces its effect though not appreciable. This Conference is at least a reminder of the great importance of education, but it has not lessened our idea of the difficulty of practically dealing with it, still every successive consideration of the subject seems to advance it by some small stage. It was generally agreed at the outset, among all the parties assembled, that the too short period of attendance at school by the chil dren of the poor, is one special cause of the back wardness of education among them ; and the meeting was summoned more particularly to consider what could be done to amend this— what means could be suggested to induce parents to continue their children longer at school. The Prince Consort stated that he met the Con ference Education on neutral ground—that he would not have consented to preside if rival plans had been to be discussed, or anything sec tarian or theological introduced. Sir JOFIN PAKINGTON considered that perhaps there might have been too much of mere speaking and too little of action on this important and practical subject. Some of the facts brought out, though well known, were not the less startling and impres sive. Taking a whole nation, about one-fourth are reckoned to be under fifteen years of age. There are, therefore, in this country, about five millions of young people who ought to be in. attendance at school or receiving some kind of instruction, yet, in point of fact, there are onl y two millions out of the five, in Scotland and Eng land, who attend any sort of school; so that three millions of children are unprovided for, Moreover, of the two millions in attendance, one million and a half are removed from school, on the average, by the time they are nine years of age, so that only some five or six hundred thousand children remain at school so long as two years. And taking the period from 1818 to 1851, a term of thirty-three years, while the number of schools is fourteen times as great, the number of scholars has only doubled in the same time. Since 1839, to the present time, two mil lions of money have been expended in erecting school-rooms, and a million and a quarter is every year applied to promote the education of the poor. These are startling facts and painful sta tistics, and they well deserved the attention of the illustrious assembly that had met to consider them. They deserve the attention of every one who wishes well to his country, who desires to see our public institutions improved, and our national progress resting on safe and assured foundations. Nothing can be more menacing than that of a large and increasing population growing up educationless; and nothing is more discreditable to England compared with some continental nations, than, that the facts should be so dis gracefully against us. We say this in perfect recollection that mere instruction is not educa tion, that education is the right unfolding of all man's various and richly gifted nature ; that book-learning is only one small part of the diversified machinery which Providence has fur nished for human culture. The most effective part of education is probably that which is taught by the practical experience of life—an experience that no books can communicate—a training that no telling can convey. Men are being educated by the practice of their trades and daily occupations, and if the scientific grounds on which these rest were made known the training would be far more effective and the benefit far greater. The Conference agreed that unless the perio d of school attendance could be lengthened, not much improvement was to be expected. The difficulty to be encountered here, is that the labour of the children becomes valuable to the parents, and the earning of money is felt to be more pressing than learning to read. Not always, but often, it is the poverty of the parents that induces them to send their children to early work. It is a financial question, and we fear the only effectual reme dy f or it wou ld b e an im proved physical condition of the humbler class . Whence is this to come but from their own forethought, economy, and self-d.mial, which are among the very best effects of that educa- THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, JULY 4. 1857. tion which is so deficient ? Improve the schools, it was said, and in time you will have a better attendance. Make the practical value of educa tion felt; let it be seen that an instructed young person has a better chance of employment and higher wages, and you touch the spring of self interest. As at length it is found out where the best boots and shoes are to be obtained; so people will discover where the best teaching is to be had. We are inclined to think that compulsory education would not suit the taste and habits of our people; but much may be done to induce and alluse without compelling. It was suggested that, in each district of a certain extent, there should be some one whose business it should be to visit, and persuade the parents to prolong their children's attendance at school. Of course he should have no coersive power, but should aim at the persuasive. His function would be to enlighten the parents as to the value of education, and help to remove obstructions; and he might be called after the manner of the Germans a school-persuader. Mr. AKROYD would recommend that employers should give work to young people only on condi tion of receiving a certificate of school attendance. Much might be said in favour of some such arrangement. At present, those under a certain age in our factories, work and learn by turns. But, perhaps, the most valuable suggestion was made by Lord LANDSDOWNE, that, in schools for the poor, industrial training should be combined with instruction. Preparation for the actual business and work of life, should go hand in hand with learning to read and cipher. This appears very judicious, and it might be so arranged as to meet, to some extent, the obstacle arising from the poverty of the parents. The result on the whole would be, that children would remain longer at school. This was the problem to be solved ; and whether solved effec tually or not, there cannot be a doubt of the earnest and enlightened interest, which is being taken in high quarters in this matter of educa ting the masses. No immediate or marvellous result will follow from this meeting ; but, if it only tend like the smile of royalty, to make the thing more popular and fashionable, the Con ference will not have been held in vain. NEVER since Liverpool was chief fishing village in the North of England, has it been subject to such bitter and determined attacks as those now made by certain parties in Parliament. Bill after Bill is taken up by the Select Committee, over which Sir JAMES GRAHAM presides ; one asks to do away with the Town Dues, and take from the people of Liverpool the management and regulation of the Docks ; another, and another asks that they may have the power and privilege, not only of evading the docks, but of so conducting their trade that they may be at liberty to impede the commerce of the Dort. In matters of this kind_ there is nothing like asking for plenty. We must do our friends who brought forward the Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks Bill, and the St. Helens Canal and Railway Bill, the credit to say, that, in the foregoing respect, they were modest enough to ask for what the spoliator general of Liverpool had not the conscience to concede. Considering his desire to take from Liverpool her just and legitimate rights—the Town Dues—as well as his readiness to play second fiddle to the tune of "invasion," which the men of Manchester have composed for rehearsal in a Committee room of the House of Commons; one can readily imagine the out rageous character of the proposal put forward and advocated by Messrs. LAIRD, WEIR and Co., and that highly important and significant party —the folks belonging to the St. Helens Canal and Railway Company. But let us examine the character of the respective measures just alluded to. In the first place, Mr. JOHN LAIRD, finding he cannot get any public body on either sids of the Mersey disposed to join him, he rushes, single handed, to the House of Commons, and, through his agents, lays on the table of the House, a Bill, enacting that all ships frequenting the Mersey, but not actually using the Liver pool Docks, shall be exempt from the rates and dues levied by the Dock Trust. Mr. LAIRD is himself a large shipowner, whose vessels frequent the Birkenhead Docks, and it is gall and wormwood to him to be obliged to comply with tha law which enables the Liverpool Dock Trustees to levy certain rates and dues, which are the only means left whereby the creditors or bondholders of the Docks may obtain their interests, and have security for the continued value of their investments. Mr. LAIRD was examined in support of his own Bill on Wed nesday, and detailed how he had to pay considerable sums of money to the Liverpool Dock Committee, although he did not use any of their Docks. He instanced the fact, that although he loaded his vessels in the river, he would be subject to heavy and undue charges ; and the only witness which he called was Mr. WIER, part owner of the Khersonese, the gist of whose testimony and opinion was quite on a par with that of Mr. LAIRD. The Dock Trustees opposed the Bill on the following grounds, namely : that the rates and dues levied by the Liverpool Dock Trustees were levied from time immemorial, by and with the sanction of Parliament, which authorised in express and indisputable terms the right of imposing such dues, &c., upon all vessels loading and unloading their cargoes within the port of Liverpool ; and Mr. LAIRD, and those who think with them, consider that what Parliament has recognised and sanctioned for nearly two hundred years, as the port of Liverpool, should be altered ; and that Birkenhead and the river Mersey should not form (as the law lays down, ) any taxable portion of the port of Liverpool. Independent of the legality of the impost, we have to remind the promoter of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Docks' Bill, and his lieutenant, Mr. WEIR, that, when Parliament arranged the limits of the port, and authorised the imposition of the "rates and dues," it did so from a sense of justice to those parties who had invested their money in the Liverpool Docks —to pay, as we have already remarked, the interest upon Dock Bonds, cost of main tenance, and perpetuate the value of the original investments. No doubt, Mr. LAIRD, feeling that this would be a natural view of the case, resorts to a little impunity in his bill, and seeks to relieve all vessels loading or unloading in the river from the Dock charges thereon. Now, the most addle-pated advocate in the world who knows anything whatever of Liverpool, and its extensive and daily increasing commerce, must be aware that to conduct that commerce efficiently, and without let or hindrance, there must be no encouragement given to this species of trade. It behoves the Dock authorities to keep the river as free from obstruction as possible, without which the ordinary business of the port could not be transacted with regularity or safety. The Committee took a similar view of the matter, and rejected Mr. LAIRD's Bill, thereby affirming the justice and the legality of the dues and rates now levied by the Liverpool Dock authorities. The other Bill—that promoted by the St. Helens Canal and Railway Company —is similar in its objects and principles to that promoted by Mr. LAIRD. From what took place on Wednesday, it was to be expected that it would not be pro ceeded with. But we shall notice this last bare faced attempt at Railway interests to monopolise the regulation of the Liverpool Docks. WIND CHADT3.—We recommend to all shipowners the purchase of the charts lately prepared by Government, showing the prevailing winds of the great oceans. A short time only is necessary to make any intelligent shipmaster familiar with the mode of applying the information they contain, which may be the means of shortening very much the duration of extended voyages, such as to India, Australia, &e. The principle 'adopted is very simple, though much tronble - and a careful examination of ships' logs'was necessary before the results could be arrived at. Our readers will better understand'these charts by a shor t explanation being'given. Suppose a point taken on the Atlantic Ocean, the next process' is, by means of all the records to be met with, to ascertain the direction of the wind at this point during the year ; this being ascertained, a line is drawn, which not only shows the direction, but the duration and the months in which it prevails. Other winds are taken in like manner, until a star is formed on the chart, a glance at which enables the mariner to ascertain that on an average of years, at cer tain periods,' the , wind blows in one arc for a certain period. The chart being covered with such stars, it is only necessary to find out the point where the proper wind s ach? met with masher to la AnkfemPlinaZ ling the Cape of Good Hope, the chart at once, according to the season, shows the very line in which the fair wind may be expected; so that if there be two vessels, the one furnished with a chart and the other depending on the chance of a wind, it will occur that: while the one is be calmed, or baffled by a head wind, the other, by keeping a little more north or south, as instructed by the wind chart, may not require to alter a sail for days at a time. We earnestly recommend our shipowners in the foreign trade to furnish their ships with these charts, which, we have no doubt, will be found to cause such a saving of time as will increase the relative profit on the freights.— Belfast Mercantile Journal. TRIG HOUSE Or COMMONS AND REFORM.—Thus far, then, the new House of Commons has exhibited a dscided hos tility to any and every question of Parliamentary Reform. In the reception given to every proposal on the subject, and the clamorous impatience with which it has been received, as well as in the result of the division, we may see how small is the chance that any real reform measure will meet with acceptance next year. It remains to be seen whether the public out of doors share this apathy• The appeal is now from Parliament to the people. If, during the interval between the present time and the next session, there is no general and unmistakeable expression of a desire for a thorough measure of reform, our leading statesmen will not be slow to take advantage of the indifference of the public. From last night's debate we may gather that the Whig leaders, whether in office or not, retain their traditional aversion to any plan which will make the House of Commons really representative of the country. If left to themselves they will either pro crastinate, or propose some peddling measure, which will be nothing better than a mockery.—Nonconformist. Recruiting for the followinz regiments has now com menced in the Liverpool district, by order of the Com mander-in-chief, viz.:-Ist Royal R-giment, 18th, 19th, 20th, 34th, 38th, 51st, 54th, 66th, 94th, 97th, and Rfl Brigade. To INVENTORS.—Mesirs. Prince and Co. have this day advertised in our columns an important circular for th e perusal of inventors, and it will be seen that Mr. John Smith has accepted their agency for patents in this town and county. PICKING POCKETS AT SEACOMBE.—Yesterriay a fellow, who gave his name as John James, was committed to take his trial for robbing a poor oyster girl on the Seacombe slip. The girl was about crossing the river by the early boat, and had to wait for a short time until it arrived. During the time she sat down and fell asleep, when the fellow robbed her of every halfpenny she had in her pos session. He was immediately given into custody: CORONER'S COURT.—Yesterday the death of the little boy, John Scott, the son of detective officer Scott, of the Liverpool police force, was reported at the coroner's court. Oa the the 22nd of the last month, he was playing in Fox street, when he was knocked down by the wheel of a lorry, which passed over his body. He continued in the greatest agony until Thursday night last, when death put an end to his sufferings. An inquest w ill be held on the body this day Talking of " manufactures," there is no country, as I have frequently had occasien to remark, which manufac tures divorces with the same facility and to the same extent as we do in California. As an instance, I clip from one of the papers :—" Within a very few months we have had, in San Francisco only, 130 cases of divorce, 24 at the request of the husbands, and 106 at the prayer of the ladies. This fact decides the amiability of the gentlemen. We are at a less to account for the frequency of these dissolving ♦iews.' " SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT BIRKENHEAD.—Yesterday after noon, a little boy, about twelve years of age, named Michael Dunn, met with a most severe injury. It appeared that he was employed on the works going on at the Great Float, under the contractors, the Messrs. Thompson. His occupation was to grease the wheels of the waggons, and was doing so when he accidentally fell dawn, and the wheel of the waggon, which was heavily laden, passed over his leg, and literally smashed the bane in several places. He was immediately conveyed to the Birkenhead Hospital, where every surgical assistance was rendered him, but there is scarcely a doubt but that the limb will have to be amputated. On the previous afternoon a man, named Wilcox, had Ills arm touch injured Qil the same works. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. By British and Irish Magnetic 7elegraph. THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY. PARIS, FRIDAY. Further insurrectionary movements are reported in Italy, organised, it is said, by Mazzini. 200 arrests have been made in Genoa. Muskets and large quantities of ammunition have been seized. The Italian conspiracy in Paris is sup_ posed to be connected with the revolutionary descent on the coast of Naples. A despatch, from Naples, dated Wednesday , announces that an attempt at an insurrection that had been made has been suppressed, and that Naples was tranquil. VIENNA, TUESDAY NIGHT. A dispatch from Naples, dated this day, announces an attempted insurrection at Sapri in the Neapolitan Territory. Naples is tranquil. MARSEILLES, FRIDAY. The mail steamer from Genoa has arrived. It brings news of the conspiracy discovered on the 29th. It was Mazzinian in its origin. Several thousand muskets have been seized, besides daggers and munitions of war. The troops of the garrison and the marines are dis posed to act with vigour. NAPLES, FRIDAY. A despatch received in Paris, dated to-day, announced the insurrectionary attempt, and its failure. Naples was perfectly tranquil. LEGHORN, JUNE 29. The squadron of Admiral Lyons is in the roads• _ FRANCE. The Paris Three per Cents, have declined. They closed yesterday (Friday) at 67f. 25c. THE COURT. The Queen and the Prince Consort returned to Buck ingham Palace, from Worsley Hall, near Manchester, at twenty minutes before three o'clock on Thursday after noon. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were accom panied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, and Prince Frederick William of Prussia. In attendance were Lady Churchill, the Hon. Eleanor Stanley, the Lord Chamber'ain, Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Colonel F. H. Seymour, Baron de Moltke, Mr. Gibb, and Lieu tenant Cowell. Tne royal party proceeded from the Eustori-square Terminus of the London and North Western Railway in several of the Queen's carriages, and escorted by a detachment of Light Dragoons, to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen and the Prince Consort were received ny tne I.ora steward, tne Kamer us use uorse, tue Vice-Chamberlain, Sir Frederick Stevin, and Colonel Francis Seymour, C.B. MISHAP TO THE QUEEN'S CARRIAGE.—On Thursday afternoon, as her Majesty, with her august visitors, was passing down St. James's-street, on their way to Bucking ham Palace from the Euston-square station, one of the horses in the Queen's carriage, which was proceeding at rather a rapid pace, suddenly fell. A police-constable at once rushed at the horse's head, and many other persons rendered assistance. The animal soon got on its legs, and, as it had received but a slight injury, the royal cortege proceeded on to their destination. Yesterday afternoon (Friday) his Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived by special train from Dover at the Bricklayers' Arms Station, where his Majesty was met by the Prince Consort and his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and proceeded with several carriages and four, with outriders in scarlet liveries to Buckingham Palace. In attendance were Lord Byron, Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, Colonel F. H. Seymour, Baron de Moltke, &c. The Emperor and Empress of the French will probably sojourn in Manchester two days. Their visit is expected to take place within the next six weeks. DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.—This peer died on Thursday, after a brief illness, at his residence in Lon don. He was son of the third earl, and born in 1788. In 1812 he married the eldest daughter and co-heir of the late Sir James Tylney- Long, Bart., whose name he thereupon assumed. The proceedings consequent on that alliance brought the earl's name prominently before the public many years ago. His wife died in 1825, since which Lord Mornington has been again married. The constableship of Maryborough Castle, and the - rangership of Epping Forest, become vacant by the demise of the noble earl, who is succeeded in his family honours by his son, Viscount Wellesley, now fifth Earl of Mornington. The Post believes it is the intention of the Emperor and Empress of France to visit the Art Treasures Exhibition. They will probably sojourn in Manchester two days. CONSTANTINO PLE, June 20 —The government circular confidentialy addressed to the foreign diplomatie agents maintains the right of the Porte to the Island Perim, and expresses a hope that the English will evacuate. A considerable trade is springing up in Californian wine. The grapes an excellent, and those who profess to be judges assert that every description of wine, from ordinary claret to sparkling champagne, may be manufactured from them. ACCIDENTAL DRAT!" OF A READER.—Ort Wednesday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Wakely, at the Poor-house, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, London, on the body of Joseph Edward Watkins, aged 32, of Exeter,. street, Strand, a reader employed on the Morning Star. The body of the deceased was frightfully disfigured and decomposed. From the evidence addueed, it appeared that the deceased was sitting on the taffrail of the steamer " Starlight," and when just off the Pimlico pier he fell overboard. A rope and a boat hook were put out, but being, as it is believed, stunned by the blow, he was unable to avail himself of either. The body rapidly disappeared, and was not recovered until Monday night. The jury being of opinion that the evidence as to identity must wait the at'endance of the mate, &c., to complete it, the coroner adjourned the further hearing till Tuesday next. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.—A very extraor dinary and determined act of self-destruction occurred on Thursday morning in Hyde-park. A youth of gentlemanly appearance was noticed to pass over the bridge separating the park from Kensington-gardens. He had proceeded nearly us far as the powder magazine on the north shore s when he returned to about the centre of the pathway, and took a spring over the parapet, into the Serpentine. An immediate alarm was given, and the whole of the boats belonging to the Royal Humane Society put off, but it was some considerable time before the body was recovered, when life 'wee apparently quite gone. Dr. Christia'a, the medical attenda n t to the society, endeavoured to resusciate the body, but without success. The deceased is the son of Mr. Marshall, a gentleman residing at No. 1 51, Sloane street, Chelsea. At present no cause ov', be assigned for the commission of the rash act, as he vas a most am i a bl e youth, only sixteen years of age, aIY,I greatly bel ove d b y his parents and connections, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. REVOLUTIONARY ATTEMPT IN THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES. Yesterday,news reached Turin, and was instantly transmitted to London and Paris, that the steamer Cagliari had been seized by armed Italian insur gents while on on her way from Genoa to Tunis- The insurgents made at once for the island Pouza, over against Naples, where they landed and libe rated a number of prisoners. The steamer was captured by a Neapolitan frigate, and the King's troops were in pursuit of the insurgents. TURIN, JULY 2. The iusurrectionary attempt at Leghorn has been put down. The steamer Cagliari, which had left Genoa for Tunis, fell into the hands of the insurgents, who attacked the island of Pouza, belonging to the Nea politan government, and set at liberty the persons imprisoned there. The insurgents, with the released prisoners, then landed at Sapri, in the lower province. Some Neapolitan frigates captured the steamer Cagliari, and the royal troops pursued the insur gent band. The political prisoners who escaped from the Island of Pouza were abont 300 in number. In conjunction with the insurgents from on board the Cagliari, they attacked the Neapolitan gen darmerie in the province of Salerno, but were dis persed, and many of them taken. The remainder fled. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The opposition journals are remarkably silent about the coming elections for Paris, but the Govern ment papers now strain every nerve to add to the number of votes polled for their candidates last time. Although affecting to scout the doctrine of the Siecle that the political opinions of Paris give the tone to all France, they know and feel that the return of Cavaignac, 011ivier, and Darimon on Mon day next would produce an immense sensation, not only in this country, but throughout Europe. Should these republicans be elected (and it must be borne in mind that they were all within two or three hundred votes of being definitively elected on the last occasion) half the members for Paris, five out of ten, will be opposition men of the most decided kind. And moreover, inasmuch as the -Banlieue, Sceaux, Belleville, St. Denis, &c., where the electors are less intelligent and more under government influence than those within the walls of the city, are included in the ten circum scriptions, there will in the case supposed be five opposition members out of eight for Paris, properly so called. To prevent such a consummation every possible means will be resorted to. Assuming the impossibility of over-zealous functionaries finding weans to tamper with the ballot boxes, which many people do really think is impossible in Paris, the result of the struggle is very doubt ful. The legitimists and Orleanists who abstained before have it in their power to turn the scale, and I hear various reports as to what they are likely to do. Several sections of them are, I am told, frightened at the recent events in Belgium, and intend, under the advice of the priests, to vote for the government. On the other hand, some of them who thought abstention the best policy dur ing the general elections feel it exceedingly diffi cult, now that they know that only a few additional votes might ensure the return of the op position candidates, to resist the temptation of doing the government the bad turn of dropping a few bulletins into the urn in favour of the repub lican candidates. The democratic party continue to be lukewarm towards General Cavaignac on account of the prevalent belief that he will not take his seat if elected. If he were to declare that he would take the oath, it is confidently said that he would come in at the head of the poll with 15,000 votes instead of 10,000. The telegraphic despatch from Leghorn, mixing _ r xusetwy and Naples and inferring something like übiquity in the ship Cagliari, is very unintelligible; but I learn from a good source that the fact of a rising of some kind in the Neapolitan dominions is be lieved in official quarters. PIEDMONT. The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the law authorising the Sardinian Government to concede the railway line from Arona to Domodossola, and the branch from Thonon to Geneva, to a private company, composed of MM. James Fazy, Achille Morisseau, Counts de la Valetta and de Bourmont, and others. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 22. For the last three days no cigar smoking has been seen here, at least not in the streets of the city. This is because the Sultan has been informed that the late conflagration at the Top Kapu Seraglio was occasioned by a burning cigar which had been thrown away, in conseauence of which a ministeria intimation was given to the inhabitants of Constan tinople, that '• whoever had any regard or affection for the Sultan should leave off smoking cigars." These few simple words sufficed to induce the Turks to abandon cigar smoking altogether, and betake themselves to the tchibouk or the narghile ; but with the European residents the case is different, and several unpleasant incidents have already arisen, since the Turks want the express desire of their monarch to be respected by the Europeans as well as by themselves. Dissensions have broken out again at Jaffa about the use of the Gregorian calendar. The patriarch there has issued a circular to notify that the Greek catholics must henceforth observe the Gregorian calendar. The patriarch in this matter has the sup port of the French consul, M. Philibert, whilst the Russian agents labour to make proselytes to the cause of the calendar of Julian. The French consul, in order to give effect to his views upon this question, went in full uniform, and with the whole consular staff, to attend the church service upon a great occasion, but this only augmented the dissension and animosity, which prevailed to such an extent that we may expect to hear of an actual conflict. As an example, on the othe r ha n d, o f th e T ur/Aish tolerance in religious matters, it may bo ment:ioned that four days ago the local authorities of i„lis city allowed the band of music belonging to tb e Turkish Marines to turn out in full parade, upon. occasion of a religious procession of the Greek eirurch, in order to enhance the splendour of the cerfanony. The affair of th e Belgian mi , aister having his passports sent to him seems likely to assume some importance. The d sr before yesterday y several of the foreign minl.sters called upon Al. Blond!, and it is rumoured, that those of America , France, Russia, Spain, rand Sardinia will present to the Sultan a joint, note upon the subject. A. meeting of tho e-mentioned diplomatists hag been held at the ho use of M. Boutenieff, the RuS sian ambassador. BANKRUPTS. By British ant Irish Magnetic Telegraph.
