The Bank rate of discount remains unaltered. In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECIJRI TIES to-day very little business was done, and it was heavy in character, owing to the probability of a loan being required for the defences of the country. Consols opened with flatness and an adverse tendency, resulting in a decline of about t per cent. from the last official prices of yester day, being at 93 to ex div. for July account ; Bank Stork has been dealt in at 230 ; Reduced Three per Cents. to 931, t, and ; New Threes, 931,1, 1, and I ; India Debentures, 96,1 and 1 ; ditto, of 1859, 96t ; Enfaced Rupee Paper, 971; India Bonds, 10 diA.; and Exchequer Bills, 4s, 3s, 2s, Bs, and 2s pm.

' The three large Government banks at St. Petersburg are to be amalgamated into one national institution, of which Baron Steiglitz is to be the first governor.

The funds, though inactive, were firmer to-day. An advance of fr per Cent. took plass, and the market closed with a steady appearance. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were better. British railway stocks have improved. There was a good demand for money, at 4 per cent. for the best bills, but the applications at the Bank slackened.—Daily News. The English funds opened with a rather better appear ance this morning, and closed with an improvement of k, which, however, is rather a feeble response to the buoyant movement on the Paris Bourse. The political signs with regard to Sicily and Germany, coupled with the manifesto of Prince Gortschakoff on the Turkish question, are considered to strengthen the belief that no new European war is desired by France in 1860, but are far from having any effect in causing the future to be regarded with increased confidence. In the discount market the demand has been less active. The Bank bought about £5,000 in gold.—Times.

Pott, of the firm of Pott and Neale,. of Nottingham. There was a large attendance. The estate compriSes 3;226 acres, and its total estimated rental is 4,185!., but it was stated that this was capable of being - increased by 1,000/ a year. It was also asserted that there was coal under the estate and that, the Portland collieries, three miles - distant, were in full work. The first bid, exclusive of the timber, which was valued at 28.610/., was 80,000/. This was gradually increased to 121,000 T. The auctioneer then announced the reserve bid at 180,000/. including the timber. It was stated that the late Colonel Wildman its last owner, had spent £200,000. upon the property. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICEMAN NEAR HUDDERS FIELD.—On Saturday night, at Lockwood, about two miles from Huddersfield, two noisy fellows went into the Swan Inn, and commenced making a disturbance. Their names are Norcliffe Kaye and Elijah Godley, and they were desired to leave the house, butthey refused, and a policeman named Redman was sent for. He requested them to laave the house, and believed they were about +o do so, when Kaye suddenly turned round, seized him by the stock, and so nearly strangled him that he was un able to call out for assistance. The officer got hold of some iron railings in front of the house for support, and Kaye then made violent attempts to throw him into the area beneath, not succeeding in this attempt, Kaye kicked the officer violently in various parts of the body. When the officer was rescued by the crowd, he was in such a feeble state that a surgeon had at once to be sent for, and he will be some time unfit for duty on account of the excessive violence used towards him. The ruffians were brought up before the Huddersfield magistrates, and committed for trial: THE DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1860. SIPORTANT NOTICE. .` TO ADVERTISAItg. ! i • - -- ~,.

The latest advices from Palermo show that matters remain in much the same position. The town was still barricaded, and the embarkation of the royal troops continued. It does not yet satisfactorily appear whether, by the terms of the capitulation, the soldiery will be bound to return to Naples, or whether, as first suggested , at least some portion of them, will be landed to strengthen the garrison at Messina. In a strategical point of view, the royal troops are still in possession of several of the most important positions in the island ; retaining, as they do, not only Messina, Syracuse, and Agosta, but also Milazzo and Licata. Orders have gone from Naples to form an entrenched camp at Reggio, on the mainland opposite Messina, and it is hoped that the passage of the Straits, on the fall of the latter city, can thus be prevented. Garibaldi appears perfectly aware that, in case of the failure of diplomatic efforts to bring about a pacific solution, some heavy fighting yet lies before the insurgent forces, and besides strengthening his resources in every possible manner, has decreed the formation of twenty new regiments. But more important than any strength which he can muster is the utter demoralisation occasioned amongst the Neapo litan troops by the events at Palermo. If we may credit a letter from head-quarters, the sealed despatch which General Letizia brought to General Lanza from Naples, , on the morning of the 3rd of June, opened With a peremptory order to annihilate Palermo, and to refuse all terms of capitulation, but concluded by leaving everything to the prudence of the general. Lanza at once assembled a court-martial, when the officers satisfied him that the desertions were so numerous, and there was such extreme unwil- lingness on the part of the soldiery to renew the fight, that he sought again another interview with Garibaldi, and the capitulation was then resolved upon. The Neapolitan Government expect that the next attack will be upon Messina; but it will more consort with the adventurous character of the insurgent chief to make a descent upon the mainland, where a single pitched battle may suffice to overthrow the Bourbon dynasty even at Naples. Yesterday, high holiday was held in Paris. At a religious service attended by all the high functionaries of state, a Te Deum was sung to celebrate the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. A grand review was also held, at which the Empress and the National Guard were pre sent ; and great 'enthusiasm, we are told, pre vailed amongst the troops and the people. The Emperor, himself, has proceeded to Baden- Baden, where he will meet to-day the Prince Regent of Prussia, and the other great German potentates. It is stated that the interview be tween Louis Napoleon and the Prince Regent was arranged on her recent visit by the Dowager Empress of Russia. Conjecture is rife as to the true object of the meeting, and in a few days we may expect important developments of the real designs of the Emperor. A letter from Rome states that the greatest embarrassment the Papal Government experiences at present is from the want of money. The fitting out the army costs large sums, which can only be procured by a loan. The present position of affairs is not reassuring, and the future prospects less so If the revolutionists, aided by a regular army, attack the Papal States, the Pope's troops can do nothing, and if the revolution triumphs in the Neapolitan States, the Pope's dominions will inevitably .be attacked. :Many families who fled from Naples have arrived at Rome. Volunteers are again menacing the States of the Church on the side of Tuscany, and General Lamoriciere has sent troops in that direction. On the other hand, we learn that a circular from the Sardinian Government to the Great Powers, exposing the scheme of the clerical party for the overthrow of the existitg state of things in Central Italy, and for the restoration of the exiled princes, is about to be published. A Brussels paper. publishes the circular recently addressed by Prince Gortschakoff to the Russian representatives, with respect to the condition of the Christians in Turkey. The Russian Minister affects an extreme solicitude •on the sub ject, and says that the sufferings of the Chris tians do not date from to-day. Russia had long urged the Christians to patience, but things had come to such a pass that she was finally compelled to address herself to the Great Powers of Europe. The case is 3onceived to be so urgent that it admits of no &lay, and it is demanded that there should be an immediate local inquiry, with the participation of Imperial delegates, in order to verify the realit3 of facts, and after that there must be an undestanding between the Great Powers with a view to bring ing about a real and permanent amelioration in the condition of the Christians. At Toulouse, on the 7th instant, the presiding judge of the Imperial court'narrowly escaped assassination on the : bench. As the judges were about.6.retire to'their kivate 'room, a man in the body of the court fired a pistol at the president, who p would probably have received the ball in his head but for the accident of his having stooped at the taoment whet the shot was delivered to give a paper to a registrar. Pursuant to articles 507 and 508 of the Code, which authorise courts of justice to take immediate cognisance of crimes committed in their presence, the judges at once resumed their seats, and the criminal was put on his trial for his life then and there. On being interro- gated, he gave his name as Casimir Guilhem, of Gra.ulhet (Tarn). He very coolly stated that, having lost two causes in that court, he had applied to the Emperor for redress, but not having received a favourable answer, he had taken an oath two months since that he would be revenged upon the judges. He was found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for life. A blue book relating to Indian railways has just been published. By the end of last year the three great companies—the East Indian, the Great Indian Peninsula, and the Madras—had 636 miles open. The estimated cost of the whole of these undertakings is £52,430,000, but at Present the Indian government has only authorised £34,133,300 to be raised, and the amount actually raised at the end of 1859 was £27,079,712. It is remarkable that of this sum only £625,971 has been subscribed in India, or £1 in every £44. With regard to the magni tude of the works, the report instances the bridges over the Soane and Jumna, the former consisting of 28 spans of 150 feet each, and the latter of 15 spans of 200 feet. The rails to be sent out from Eng land will weigh 1,210,000 tons ; more than 794,904 tons had been shipped up to the end of last year. Of the immense capital required, it is calculated that about £555,000 out of every million is expended in this country for materials, freight, and management ; at the end of last year the eight companies had actually expended here upwards of £10,000,000. The all-absorbing question of the day in this country relates to the report of the Royal Com mission on the National Defences, of which we gave a brief abstract yesterday. The scheme, however necessary in the opinion of those most competent to judge, is not likely to be viewed with much of the public favour; and the great objection which naturally arises is the enormous expense of what, after all, it is admitted will still form an insufficient system of defence. The twelve millions do not include any works for the protection of the Metropolis, or of the mouths of the Mersey, the Humber, the Tyne, or the Clyde. It is proposed to raise the money by terminable annuities, so that the whole sum may be absorbed in 25 years; but even if the intended works would perfect our defences, our national expendi ture already is enormous and almost intolerable ; and the Times quaintly remarks that the scheme certainly is a singular sequel to the commercial treaty. We are admitting everything French or Continental without duty ; and now we are called on to pay £12,000,000 merely to keep out foreign produce in the shape of our new customers. It appears that besides the questions relating strictly to the defences of the kingdom, the Commissioners were directed to inquire what site would be the best for the establishmeni of a great internal arsenal. They have investigated this question, and decide that Cannock Chase, in Staf fordshire, is the spot best adapted for such a purpose. It will be seen that an important communica tion from the War Office, on the subject of the defences of our port, was submitted yesterday, at the meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. In the House of Commons last evening, the disturbances in New Zealand Were referred to, when it was stated that there was already a con siderable force there, and it was not intended to send out further reinforcements. Mr. Lindsay brought under notice the difficulty which had been experienced in the formation of the Naval Reserve' and a discussion, but without result, ensued upon the subject. Mr. Whalley called attention to the inequalities in the present mode of assessing the income-tax, and urged the adoption of a more equitable mode of adjustment. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, admitting the evil, con fessed his inability to cope with the difficulty. He observed that the relief of one class involved additional burdens on another ; and many of the proposals for the re-arrangement of the tax would cause more injustice than they would remedy. The House then went into Committee of Supply. Their lordships sat only for a short time, and swere engaged in the transaction of miscellaneou business. EARLY CLOSING OF THE MARKETS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. WHAT has been left unwritten or unspoken on the Early Closing question ? Have not states men and councillors, patriots and philanthropists, journalists and orators, associations and com mittees, pronounced every favourable argument, and refuted every objection that can be brought to bear upon it ? Dare any man stand up and publicly declare himself opposed to the spirit of the movement ? That many heartily dislike it, we are afraid, is too true ; but, conscious of the base selfishness which inspires their animosity, they are ashamed openly to avow their opposition. Satisfied that the question, when discussed on its real merits, and on a fair and equal platform, has been unanimously decided against them, they confine their hostility to underground operations. These secret foes seek to disguise their not less disgraceful because indirect attacks, under the pretence of practical difficulties. It accords with their insidious policy to suggest procrastinating delays as expedients, wh ich, they secretly trust, may ultimately prove fatal to the whole movement. Like many other crafty and selfish schemers, they think their success depends upon deceiving others as to their real intentions ; but their fancied strength is their weakest point. They succeed only in deceiving themselves. Their false wisdom is like that of the ostrich, which, when hotly pursued, is said to bury its head in the sand, stupidly supposing that its whole body is thereby equally concealed and . protected from attack, while, in truth, it only affords a more con venient opportunity for its capture and despatch. After all that has been written, said, and done on this important subject, how much has really been effectually and permanently accomplished ? Something has, undoubtedly, been achieved ; but what does it amount to ? Is it enough that certain branches of trade, in parti cular localities have derived , some little apparent . benefit from the agitation ? Are the active promoters of the movement in LiVe'rpool prepared to rest satisfied with what has been overtaken in this good work ? Is the advantage of early closing to be confined to one or two sections of the community, or is it to be extended throughout the whole body ? Is the committee of the association disposed to rest satisfied w having made a dashing onset on the outworks of the enemy, or with having successfully stormed and carried a few insignificant outposts ? We trust not. Are they to relax their exertions and rest upon their oars because the task is a pro"- tracted one, and its execution beset with many diffi culties? We hope they entered upon the undertak ing with larger views and more determined courage. Having put their hands to the plough, we trust they will never look back, until their great object has been fully accomplished. They shall then have won a glorious victory, which will• live in the grateful recollection of generations to come. While we congratulate' the committee of the Liverpool Early Closing Association on much that has been achieved, we would' urge upon their attention the fact that much yet remains to be done to make their work permane,nt and com- plete. We look to those who have originated and conducted the movement to . carry it nobly and successfully through. Touching this important subject, we have lately received many communications, bearing more immediately, however, on the recently enacted bye-law for closing the public mar- kets of this town at ten o'clock on Satur- day night. A considerable amount of dis cussion on' this point is now being carried on; and no small degree of feeling has been imported into the agitation against the new rule. The market tenants are said to be all but unani- mously opposed to it—and they certainly consti- ute a numerous and important section of our rellow-townsmen. A greater or less proportion of the Markets Committee is also reported to be adverse to the new order of things—and doubt less their influential position and individual opinions must give strength and colour to the case of the remonstrants. Last, not least, a consider• able portion of the public, who have been accus tomed to make their purchases at these markets late on Saturday night, are said to be indignant at the enactment which shuts the market doors in their face an hour earlier than they have been accustomed to. The general public, the Markets Committee, and the tenants all united in one phalanx to procure the repeal of the new bye-law! Why should they not succeed ? Who has a right to resist them ? Upon what ground shall any body dictate to a combination in which would -seem to be included the voices and opinions of all who have any right to be heard in the matter ? Even were the earlier closing of the markets demonstrably the very best arrangement conceivable, why should we force an unwelcome boon down the throats of a reluctant and remon strating body, whose interests alone are thereby affected for good or evil ? Is the Town Council warranted in maintaining its own views against those of the tenants and their customers? Is it not plainly their imperative duty to effect a precipitate retreat, as they have done before on this very point, and to throw open the markets until within an hour of midnight on Saturday ? This is the course demanded by the present agi tators. Will the Council succumb to it ? If they have made a mistake, there is nothing un wise or undignified in promptly rectifying it ; but it were only weakness and a betrayal of their trust to give way before mere clamour. In adopting the new regulation, it is admitted, they were actuated by the best intentions, and were swayed by reasons which many consider sufficient to warrant the resolution. The matter has not not now for the first time been under their con sideration ; and the failure of a former experiment of a somewhat similar kind only leads to the inference that the actual and unavoidable diffi culties in the way have been duly weighed and disposed of. If the Council are to be asked to reconsider the matter, the appeal must be accom panied by incontrovertible proof that, in the estimation of the general public, the new ar rangement has been already condemned, and that it is really for the interests of the public and the tenants to have it abolished. If such a case can be made good, we presume there is but one course open to the Council, namely, to waive their individual opinions in deference to those of a majority of their constituents. Until then, we doubt not, they will continue to maintain the position they have taken tip with becoming firm ness and conscious strength. It has been asserted that the question about the markets has no relation to the Early Closing Movement, and, therefore, that the two subjects ought not to be mixed up, but, on the contrary, that, iu justice to both, they should be kept apart from each other. Is this really correct, or is it a deliberate fallacy ? Has the Early Closing Association no proper interest in the decision of this market question? Nobody has the courage to organise an opposition on the general ground occupied by that association ; and, thus, we find the advocates of the views of the tenants care fully disavowing any desire to interfere with that movement. They claim a special exemp tion in behalf of the market transactions on Saturday night. Are they entitled to the benefit of such a plea, or is it merely a cunning device to escape antagonism with the principles of the Early Closing Association ? It is clearly the duty of that body to weigh this question well, and to employ any means at their command to enlighten the public mind as to its true bearings. There ought not, we think, to be a doubt that the settlement of this matter most closely concerns the great object of the general Early Closing Movement. We draw this conclusion from the very arguments employed by those who desire to make us believe the contrary. The weightiest argument we have seen adduced in favour of the late closing of the markets is that employers refuse to pay wages on Fridays instead of Satur days ; and that, in too many instances, not even on Saturdays, until ten or eleven at night. Now here we have the existence of the very evils the Early Closing Association desires to remove, brought forward to prove that it ought not to interfere in this question. One of the objects that body has most steadily kept in view is the payment of wages on Friday. If that cannot at once be attained, surely an early hour might be fixed, by general consent, for payment on Saturday. Is not the attainment of so desirable an improvement greatly affected by the hour at which the public markets close ? If masters and workmen know that wages, to be fully available for marketing purposes, must be paid early, because the markets close early, what will be the certain result ? Shall we try to force the masters to do their duty to their workpeople by closing these markets at a reasonable hour ; or shall we indirectly countenance and encourage theni in their malpractices by keeping open to a later hour. Because employers commit a cruel injustice, shall we sanction their conduct by the perpetration of an equally unjust act ? Is the existence of one evil a ground of justification for another ? Instead of this question having no relation to the more general one of early closing and payment of wages on Friday, we believe it to be the very reverse. Nay, more, we cannot held thinking that very much of the success of the general early closing movement depends upon its determination. Under the new regulation for closing at ten o'clock on Saturday, the shoe pinches, and the workmen cry out to be set free earlier, else they cannot get to market; and the market tenants shout in chorus that the doors are closed before their customers can reach their stalls. The real' question then comes to this, are wages to be paid, and workmen set at liberty, earlier, or is every consideration of justice and propriety to give way before the unreasonable and extortionate requirements of men who would drain the very life blood of their employes if they could only coin it into gold. WOMEN AND MEDICINE.—Women never have been, and never will be, debarred from practising medicine; openly or on the sly. It is so natural to them, and so irresistible while they live in families and have the charge of the sick, that no remonstrance or ridicule has ever availed to put a stop to female quacking. The best informed and most rational physicians have always seen, and the most courageous of them have always said, from that day to this, that the only cure is in making physi cians of some well-qualified women, who alone can convince their sex of the seriousness of medical practice, and the infinite mischief of meddli n g with the delicate t ,e organisation of the human frame wit hout all the _ an d act ledge that can be obtained of the structure a know Meek. reform to begin ,—..

The Moniteur has presented a project for a new loan of 150,000,000 francs. The Moniteur of this morning contains several decrees regulating the customs administration and the military organisation of Savoy and Nice. According to a project of law which has been submitted to the Corps Legislatif, Savoy will form two departments. Savoy and Nice are to be divided into three departments, namely, Upper Savoy, Lower Savoy, and the Maritime Alps. A deputation of Sicilian nobility is expected in the French capital, their object being to point out the wishes of the country to the Emperor of the French. The Dutch Government has entered into nego tiations with that of France with a view of ob taining for the productions of the Dutch colonies in India the same favours as are granted to East Indian imports from England. A Te Deunz has been sung to-day, to celebrate the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. All the established bodies attended. A grand review, at which the Empress and the National Guard were present, has also taken place. Great enthusiasm prevailed among the troops and the people, who, owing the fineness of the weather, were assembled in large numbers. The Prince Imperial remained at Fontainebleau. SARDINIA. TURIN, June 13. Marshal Valliant left Milan on the 12th inst. He was accompanied by the municipality. The National Guards lined the streets, and the Mar shal was greeted on all sides with enthusiastic cheers. A circular of the Sardinian Government to the Great Powers, exposing the schemes of the clerical party for the overthrow of the existing state of things in Central Italy, and for the restoration of the exiled princes, is about to be published. TURIN, June 14. Marshal Vaillant has arrived, and is lodged in the Royal Palace. He will breakfast to-morrow morning with the King. The deputation from Nice, taking advantage of the celebration at Paris of the annexation of Savoy and Nice, desired a mass for those who fell last year for Italian independence. The priest refined on the ground that the ecclesiastical ritual prohibits the celebration of mass for the dead during the octave of Corpus Christi, unless the body of the deceased person be actually lying in the building. SICILY. PALERMO, June 11 The embarkation of royal troops continues, The town is still barricaded.. AU the official decrees of Garibaldi are headed, " Italy and Victor Emmanuel."

She brings 218 passengers and $109,195 in specie, of which $104,195 are for London, and the remainder for Hamburg. On the 2d she passed the American ship Margaret Evans, bound west. On the Bth she spoke the barque Cassange, from Guzerat for London ; and on the 13th, off the Lizard, the American ship Ashburton, bound west. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE GERMAN PRINCES. The Paris letter of the Daily News states that the interview between Napoleon 111. and the Prince Regent of Prussia is attributed to the mediation of the Dowager Empress of Russia. The Emperor goes to Baden to tempt the Prince Regent to play the part of Victor Emmanuel. The Emperor's friends proclaim that his Majesty has a settled purpose to take not only the Rhine but Belgium and Genoa. BERLIN, June 14, The Prince Regent left yesterday evening, as was arranged, for Baden Baden. Amongst those who accompanied him was the Minister, President, and Prince of Hohenzollern. FRANKFORT, June 14 The Prince Regent has reviewed the garrison. The King of Hanover is expected here to-morrow, on his way to Baden Baden. The Duke of Coburg is also expected this evening. BADEN BADEN, June 14. The King of Bavaria arrived here yesterday. The Prince Regent of Prussia and the King of Wurtemburg are expected to arrive this evening. DRESDEN, June 14 The official Dresden journal of to-day states that the King of Saxony, on the invitation of the Prince Regent of Prussia, leaves this evening for Baden, accompanied by his chief equerry, General Engel. SWITZERLAND. GENEVA, June 14. The Grand Council of Geneva has presented, as a token of esteem, documents of naturalisation as Swiss citizens to twenty-seven Savoyards, the late chiefs of the committee for the annexation of Eaueigny and Chanla's tv Switzerland. The Austrian Cabinet, in reply to the note of the Federal Council, dated May 25th, says that the general state of affairs does not permit Austria to take the initiative in the Conference. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : PRUSSIA. The correspondent of the TimeB says, that it was only when the Prince Regent was assured that the Emperor wished to make a special com munication to him, that he agreed to the inter view proposed on the part of the Emperor of the French. NATIONAL DEFENCES. The Times says Government will propose to commence the fortifications and other works immediately, and the commissioners have pointed out how they may be available for defence in three or four months, even while far short of completion. It is intended to raise the money by terminable annuities, so that the whole sum may be absorbed in twenty-five years. The Times adds, our present expenditure is enormous and intolerable : we must escape from it in one way or the other. Simply to disband and disarm might inspire contempt, and so provoke aggres sion.us A gratuitous war is at best a dangerous a speculation.

The royal assent was i riven, by commission, to several The Fisheries (Scotia, id) Bill was read a second time. In reply to the Earl o f Carnarvon, . The Duke of NEWC/ LSTLE said that despatches hal been received from the Government of New Zealand confirming the accounts of the insurre .ction at Plymouth which had appeared in the newspapers. There had likewise beeii a movement amongst the natives further north, and the Governor had gone to Auckland to ascerto in its cause and extent. Reinforcements had been sent in considerable numbers from Australia. On the motion of Earl Granville, it was agreed that the House should concur in the address of the Commons, for a commission to enquir a inta the corrupt practices at Berwick upon-Tweed. Lard MONTEAGLE, on moving for returns, asked if foreign Governments had m ade any alteration in their scales of duties in consequence of tb.e reduction by England of the wine duties- Earl GRANVILLE replied that certain fiscal alterations had been made by Portugal, which would be advantageous to the wine trade of both, countries. No communication on the sub ject had been rec&Ned from Spain. The house adjot trued at ten minutes past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. The Speaker t ook the chair at four o'clock. Mr. KINULAK E gave notice that on the motion for adjourn* went to-morro , ,v (this day) he should call attention to the, ratification, by France, of th e t rea ty, an d s h ou ld inquire jt any informatio'n had been received as to the manner in NOW' the French Government proposed to carry out the World article. Mr. Alderman SALOMONs asked whether despatches bad been received. from New Zealand, asking for additional forces to quell the Tising of the natives, and whether it was intended to comply with the request. Mr. C. FoRTEscuE said that despatches had been received from the governor of the colony, describing the state of Wei" there, but it was not intended to send out reinforcemen t. ' There wa. already a considerable force in New Zealand, and still larger in Australia; and there was reason to believe that reinforcements had been sent out both from Sydney and 3Lel bourne, and that the naval force on the station had lately been increased. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. LINDSAY moved that, with a view to greater efficienei in war and less expenditure in peace, it is the opinion of this House that more prompt and effective measures should be adopted to complete the reserves of marines and seamen for her Majesty's navy. He called attention, on the one hand, t ° the unsatisfactory state of the reserve, far below its standard; and, on the other, to the enormous expense attending it. The Government had no doubt used strenuous efforts, but they had not adopted the right means. Mr. LIDDELL advocated the establishment of school ships, as the only means of obtaining a due supply of men. Lord C. PAGET said the system of school ships had been Par . " tially tried, and he thought that they should proceed no further until the result had been seen. Neither the Admiralty nor the Board of Trade had lost sight of the subject. With regard V° the Reserve, the excellence of the force was shown by the desire of the shipowners to obtain the service of seamen of t il° Reserve. He denied the statement of Mr. Lindsay as to $1 increased number which would have been obtained if the Government had adopted a different course of procedure. The Government was earnest in its endeavours to increase th e numbers of the men, and the First Lord would, before long, lay on the table of the Lords a bill for the improvement of the recruiting service. At present the total Reserve of all kinds number 23,831. The St. George and the Bacchante had Pi t been put into commission, and was already half manned:- Admiral WALCOTT urged the necessity of improving the treat' ment both of men and officers. ' . Sir C. NAPIER said that whatever specious statement migh t be made by our Government, our force was far below its pro" per amount, and it was right that the country should kilo ° exactly how the matter stood. They were at this moute o 8,000 men below the vote of the House of Commons. Till these men were obtained, the Government should adopt the tonal given by their predecessors. They should likewise increase the pay, and raise the position of the petty officers. The ma p ' would have an object of just ambition in return for go od service. He pointed out, in his own way, what he consider ed other deficiencies in our naval administration. He called upon the Government to supply our navy with boys, out stf web men might be made, rather than spend their money in fortlAw cations, which invaders would take good care to avoid. T he only security of Britain lay in the British navy, and while oh' had that no one would be rash enough to attack her. Mr. BENTINCX did not believe that proper energy had been shewn by Government, but admitted that the blame lay in t he indifference of the House of Commons. He, too, declared that vast sums spent in fortifications would be so much owner thrown into the sea. Mr. WHITBREAD observed that many of the means sugge ,46l for filling up the reserve would end by manning the fleet. Admiral DUNCOMBE said that the merchant service could IA; always obtain seaman, and even the Great Eastern was short ° I its complement. He urged the policy of promoting by possible means the entry of boys into the service. Mr. A. SMITH called attention to the late time of the session to which the highly important miscellaneous and civil service estimates had been put off. The amendment of Mr. Lindsay was then put, and negati l r ed without a division. Mr. WHALLEY called attention to the inequalities in tbe-Pre sent mode of assessing the Income-tax, and urged the adoptiO of a more equitable mode of adjustment. Mr. Pollard Urquhart and Sir P. Goldsmid made sa le remarks on the same subject. Mr. WESTHEAD likewise protested against the present mode of imposing the tax. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that the reli ef one class involved additional burdens on another. Admitti n t the faults and inequalities of the Income-tax, he remark ed that they were more prominent on the Income-tax from Or very nature of its arrangements, and many of the prop osl . ° its re-arrangement would cause more injustiee than it w oula remedy. It must be remembered that persons under Schedu le A paid practically far more than their income, while tha ee assessed under other schedules paid commonly much le a° ; He believed that the public, impressed with the difficulty °' remodelling the tax, were now more willing to acquiesce lu lt : inequalities. He could not, therefore, indulge any sanilltie: expectations of Reform, though he would gladly listen to any proposals to that end. Sir H. Witi.otronny regretted to find that it was impossible to reform the tax, and therefore hoped that the House would sanction as little of it as possible. The House then went into Committee of Supply. Mr. LAING moved a vote of £654,000 on account of the oft .° service, declaring that the Government did not mean to i1 1°74 : a precedent of taking votes on account, but it would be to°r ; convenient that the army and navy estimates should be, lire discussed. the Mr. WILLIAMS inquired how far the vote would carry - Go vernment ? Mr. LAING replied that it would carry them over the fu l l salaries. After some discussion the vote was agreed to, an assurauee having been given by Lord Palmerston that ample opportuultY would be given in a short time for the discussion of tbe estimates. Lord C. PAGFT then moved a series of votes on the 21 04 estimates, the discussion of which occupied the rest of the evening. The other business was then disposed of, and The House adjourned at 1 45 a.m. GREAT FRENCH MUSICAL FESTIVA, II OF THE ORPHEONISTES, AT OP CRYSTAL PALACE.

FRIGHTFUL OCCUR RENCE. - At Cadiz, six days ago , 4 frightful affair occurred. One of the Moorish pri 96ller° „' e who, having been ill, w as p l aced i n the hospital, he was exceedingly we ll treated, aot u in the nig h " when seized with delirium, and arniinmPhimself with $ knife, attacked the patients right and left, killing 8(3° 1 and wounding o th ers. Th e patients whom he did 0° reach ran out of d oors screaming for help, and the Mo o t rushed after them and stabbed several. At last a b ° e of watchmen, armed with long lances, came up, but tho Moor stabbed three of them, and the others wer e li d terrified at the appearance he presented—his hands T l , clothes being stained with blood and his eyes flash aj ; tire—that they took to flight. Shortly after, howe/Yt a picket of soldiers arrived, and, as the man would I.lu, surrender, a sergeant fired, and he fell de ad. Hea r ,b of the affair, the local authorities hurri ed to the hospice' e : , and there they l earne d that four men had been and (includin g th e wa t c hmen) sixteen wounded, seve of them mortally. 111111.0..1N r.
