LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET, to-day, though extremely quiet, was firm in cha racter, and priced generally have improved.

Consols opened with firmness at the best prices of yesterday, and in the course of the morning improved an eighth per cent., the present quotations being 941 to 95 for money and 95 tot for the account.

The news of Garibaldi's success was also regarded as making a fresh step towards the development of new compli cations. The decl ine, however, proved only temporary. After advancing nearly M per cent. from the lowest point .of the morning, consols closed to per cent. higher span yesterday. The improvement in the afternoon extended to the share markets, which closed with il firm the - ness.

The,Radical section of the Cabinet are evidently much incensed A t the Constitutional course which . the House of Lords has pursued, in the matter of the paper duty repeal, and the journals that take their part are correspondingly violent and incen diary in their denunciations. The Daily News declares, that ," if the House of Lords is to pre serve its fair share of influence, it must learn to respect those privileges which the House of Coin mons exercises as the representative body of the nation," and that "it is idle to talk of reform bills if the House of Commons is to become a cypher." This is quite forgetting, however, that the House of Lords has its privileges requiring to be respected also; and that neither is it any more than the moue of Commons "to become a cypher." Tho Morning Star, in the same interest, raises the cry of the two Houses being "in violent collision," — and proclaiming that q a large majgrity 41 the Lords have vehemently assaulted the Finance Minister," as well as affronted the Commons. Still the public mind is calm, and, with a very slight exception, contented. All these incite ments to alarm are of no avail. All the calls for " spirits from the vasty deep " are unheeded — they positively won't come when they are palled. The Times coolly assures us, that " there will be neither Parliamentary collision, nor popular insurrection, nor Jack Cades capriciously taking up the cause of learning and paper mills." The Morning Herald's report of the state of the metropolis, at a crisis which the Radicals wished the country to believe would be a sort of turning point of its existence under a monarchy, must be suite refreshing to all concerned. So far, it gives the assurance, " we are not plunged into the horrors of a revolution. There are no rioters in the streets. Lord Derby was not mobbed as he went home from the Howe of Lords. The majority was even larger than had been anticipated, and the papermakers were more *Wing lattitigrute, Wind yester7ll,7. S.W.; at Holyhead, S.W. ARRIVED. May 22.

But, so far as we have been informed, London was us calm and tranquil yes terday as 'London ever is, and the threatened storm has been averted." Let us Conservatives, therefore, take heart. We are evidently not exactly the firebrands the ultra-Liberal scribes would represent us to be. The only statement in Lord Palmerston's corn munication to the House of Commons, as to the defeat of the Paper Duty Repeal Bill by the House of Lords, on which any reliance can at present be placed, is that of his aversion to any step being taken "intended to place the two Houses in a state of hostility to each other." No one occupying the high and responsible official position he' now does could have any other feeling on this point, under any circumstances. If it be true, however, that Lord Palmerston himself has viewed with secret - satisfaction what the Lords have done, he has of course, an especial reason for being averse to any such hostile collision of the two Houses. His intention, to-night, to move for a committee to examine the journals of the House of Lords for precedents in reference to the course their lordships have taken upon the bill for re pealing ,the paper duty, way only be to save appearances. Some of the journals in the Liberal interest are - more than hinting, we observe, that " there was an understanding between members of the Government and Lord Derby, or Lord Palmerston would have resented the adverse vote in a way -creditable to the first Minister of the Crown." From this it is to be inferred, there- fore, that the head of the Coalition Cabinet is not resenting that adverse vote in a way creditable to hiM. But this depends entirely upon the view he takes of it. If it be true:that he really regards it as a fortunate thing, that so important an item of revenue has been saved at this critical conjuncture, in a word, he thinks the Lords, after all, are right in 'what they have done, and that the Government ought to be obliged to them for it-- which it is supposed he does—why then, of course, he has nothing to resent. , What there is to com- plain of, if this be the case, must be tb.e 40itil genuolisness of his conduct—his duplicity, in fact. One. of our Liberal contemporaries, with refer ence to the rejection of the Ministerial measure by the Peers, observes that " the daring assump tion of the Rouse of Lords with respect to the taxation of the country will do more to damage the Tory party eapil to strengthen the Liberal and Reform feeling thap any n g which has taken place for years." But, if the'Peeri leave' acted— as we believe they have—from a sense of' duty, are they not to be respected for casting to ,the winds all such mere party considerations ? If by " strengthening the Liberal and Reform feeling," is meant the bringing gut the Liberals and COMMERC lAL• LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Zbe Cotton liar ft.

In the discount market some transactions' took place to-day at 41, and there was scarcely any demand at the Bank. The foreign exchanges this after noon exhibited a firmer tendency. About 180,000 iu gold was bought by the Bank. The railway market has been rather firmer toward s- th e close. Lancashire and Yorkshire improved ' 2 per cent.; Midland and Great Northern, -1 ; Great Western' and London and North- Western, 1, ; and other descriptions 4. to Gold is 2-10ths per cent. dearer In Paris than in London. At Hamburg and London the price is about the same. The present rate of exchange leaves a small profit on the importation of Gold from New York.—Tildes. In the LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET this has been a holiday, and no business of importance is reported by private contract. The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was steady, at the following quotations : Town tallow 50s net cash; Petersburg Y.C., on the spot, 52s 6d; May and June, Ms 6d; June only, Ms 6d; July to Sept., 51s 3d; Oct. to Dec., 51s. In the LONDON MINING MARKET to-day a fair amount of business has been done, notwithstanding the absence of most of the dealers. Stray Park shares are in active demand, and have risen to 46 to 48. West Frances are quoted 25 to 27 ; Lady Bertha, 21 to 21, being dull ; Treloweth, 91 to 10 ; East Basset, 115 to 120 ; South Caradon, 305 to 310 ; and East Wheal Russell, 12 14. St. John del Rey Mining shares are in good demand, and have been dealt in at 28 to 29. Port Phillip .are marked 10s. In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN SECU RITIES to-day, there was great activity, but more decided firmness in values. Original Turkish Bonds have advanced. to 7 5 i) and the New Sixes to 58 and 581, being a full rise of 1 per cent. in each case. Mexican Three per Cents, base been taken at 211 and 211 ; and Spanish at 48. The LONDON CORN MARKET.—The weather has been fine and warm to-day. There was a small sitopcian , e, and very little business done in any article of the trat,i,e : prices were nominally unaltered, The BOROVGII HOP MARKET.—To-day there has been a moderate, but by no means active inquiry for good and useful Hops, at full prices. For most other kinds, however, the inquiry was dull, at late rates. The plantation accounts were favourable. At tigt LONDON WOOL SALES to-day the attendance of home and foreign buyers was numerous, and biddings riled active. The late advance in the value of fine qualities was main tained. Some rather large purchases were made on foreign account. PROVINCIAL; &c., MARKETS, YESTERDAY. MANCHESTER SHARE --.,Dovers, 253 ; Midlands, 1161 ; Londous, 100 f ; Leeds, 1031.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE Reformers in their true reikilittionicry character, the sooner it were done :the :better, that people's eyes may be opened"to their real ulterior designs. .4ny subject_ of the realm who cannot tolerate the Wee and honeitaction of either branch of the Legislature, is a revolutionist ;.and if the Liberal 'party contemplate the future abnegation of such action, it were most desirable that it were known and under Stood with as little delay as possible. The intimation given by.the Home Secretary in his place in the House of Commons, in answer. to Lord Naas, as to the disgraceful state of our convict establishment 'at Bermuda, must be any thing but satisfactory. It appears that " there is no proper provision for the prisoners, no accom-' modation for the officers, no order in the arrange ments; all the vices of the old system seem to be • concentrated in this single establishment," — although "it might easily be reformed, after the improved plan which was now in operation in Ireland, and which had there worked admirably." And yet Her Majesty's Secretary of State stands up and declares to Parliament and the country, that "it is a question of expense !" Can it be possible, tbat ,s, great country like 'England is reduced to such an extremity under a Liberal- Reform Ministry A telegram from Rope informs us, that " volunteers have re-entered Tuscany," and that " a battalion of Pontifical Chasseurs fired upon each other in error." Both these occurrences have a warlike aspect. Are we to conclude that General Lamcriciere is ready for action The enlistment for the Pope is 'said to be. still going on in Ireland, despite the Government proclamation against it, which appears to have excited considerable ill feeling. The town of Longford, for instance, has been posted With a sort of counter-proclamation, in which it is declared, that " Irishmen do not intend to be put down or bullied over by the placards of English cut-thiroat Saxons, for we will join the Pope's army despite of all their infernal dodgings ! " And they are actually doing so. The Govern ment, howevpr, must enforce the law. The worst :of it is,,that so long as the English subscription for the Sicilian insurgents is permitted to go on, and the subscribers are not interfered with, the Irish not unnaturally think that they are treated with injustice. THE FRENCH FUNDS, PARIS, May 23. 335 P.M.—The Bourse remains steady. The final quotations of Rentes was 69f 35c, being a further rise of 15 centimes. ITALY AND SICILY. TVRIN, May 23. The volunteers who re-entered Tuscany under the command of Lambianchi have been arrested, and will be brought to trial. The Sardinian squadron is concentrated in the Sardinian waters. NAPLES, May V. The success of Garibaldi's troops has been confirmed. There is no other news. [Official.] ROME, May 22. A band of 500 volunteers have re-entered Tuscany. A battalion of Pontifical chasseurs fired upon each other in error. A captain, lieutenant, and five soldiers were killed thereby. Artillery has left liorae to-day fox the frontiers. ROME, May 23. The official Giornale di Roma, speaking of the combat of the 19th inst. at Montefiascone, says that, owing to the darkness of the night, the Pontifical troops wounded seven of their comrades, mistaking them for filibusters. The Customs Guard, at Guano, were overpowered by the filibusters, who, after plundering the country, re-entered Tuscany. The peasantry ask to be armed. Papal troops will immediately leave Rome for the frontiers. The Giornale di Roma also contains the following :—" The news from Sicily is favourable to the Neapolitan Govern ment." The Paris correspondent of the Times, writing on Tuesday night, says if one may judge from the in tense anxiety which now prevails at the Neapolitan Legation here, things must be in the worst possi ble condition in Sicily ; and if the news came that orders had been given by the Neapolitan Government for the withdrawal of the Royal troops from the theatre of the contest, and of the complete surrender of the island to the insurgents, no one would be surprised at it. It is thought that one of the first acts of Garibaldi will be to proclaim a dictatorship in the name of King Victor Emmanuel, preparatory to the usual mea sures for the annexation of Sicily to Piedmont. On this point, however, it is said that the French Minister at Turin has given the assurance to the Neapolitan Minister at the same court, that France would view with displeasure the annexa tion of the two Sicilies to the new Italian kingdom. The Duke of Grammont has arrived in Paris to Lake the verbal instructions of the Emperor. It is arranged that while General Goyon, the com mander of the French army at RQIIW, remains in the city to protect the Pope and keep the place tranquil, General Lamoriciere shall, if necessary, operate outside the walls.

DISMISSING the narrow constitutional question nvolved in the recent movement of the Lords, i does appear on the ground of political ethics as if a great and necessary function had been dis charged in a manner peculiarly agreeable with the traditions of the Constitution. The very idea of what-legists call a " hi-cameral" legislature is, ;hat whiiv one branch symbolises the spirit o: progress and adventure, the other is charged with the counterpoise of wisdom and caution. Now, certainly" a plain man will see in the past history of this session nothing more clearly than those necessities on the one hand, and those dangers on the other, which demand the association of these two functions. We cannot exactly say, that the popular branch of the legislature has shown well on the point of dignity, in this competitive action between the two Houses. The fact is, the Lords have saved the Commons from themselvei—or rather from their imperious dictator. Lord PAL MERSTON'S leadership, as chief of the Government, has been nothing but a traditional fiction under cover of which the spirited cavalier of the Nchequer has turned the . national finances and the Commons of England into his hobby-horse, and ridden them both with bit and spur at wind mills and stone walls. The general aspect of the House of Commons, under Mr. GLADSTONE'S dic- tatorship, has been enough to move the pity of men who considered themselves to be even disinterested spectators. No one can, doubt, that, as repre sented by the feeble majority which generally votes with Lord JOHN RUSSELL , the House has moved uneasily and helplessly as in the toils of some greater power. Beneath the flashing eye and uplifted whip of Mr. GLADSTONE, who dared to call his soul his own, when he had witnessed the terrible flood of retribution brought down on an unlucky and more adventurous brother by the sligh test hint or hesitation of dislike ? What can we do then but congratulate the House of Commons, if what it could not do, or dares not do, even with the aid of Mr. DISRAELI'S almost invincible weapon, it has left the Lords to do for it ? Have the toils been beaten through, is the spell broken, is the magician's wand split in two, is the ch arm dissipated and the House of Com mons once more free ? Then let them not look the gift-horse in the mouth, but acknowledge the timely aid that has done it ; despising all the rubbish about constitutional forms, courtesies, and precedents. That the miserable slave-driven majority of nine has not landed them in the qnaginire, is a, piece of good fortune whieh they scarcely deserved, and which if they put their necks again into the toils, they will very pro bably another time just as little obtain as deserve. it is not difficult to understand, therefore, that Liberal prints should include even the noble Premier himself among those many obedient allies of Mr. GLADSTONE, who are secretly rejoiced at this blow aimed at his brief but iron supremacy. It was an unexpected source for help to come from in a necessity fast growing urgent ; and probably the inde pendent action of the Upper House has nerved Mr. GLADSTONE'S doubtful supporters in the Commons, to regret that they did not pluck up courage at an earlier stage of the Budget. No one could have expected, that the hobby driven at full tilt against a diminishing revenue and increas ing wants ; against a strong opposition with a not pusillanimous chief—and in short, against all the practical good sense of the country, would, after preserving its rider through all these trials, be turned back ignominiously by the, weak barrier of an effete and anomalous institution ! Now while we pick up Mr. GLADSTONE tenderly, and console him for his fall, let us whisper in his ear the certain moral of the whole ; namely, that the inheritance to which great politicians, as well as ordinary mortals, are born, is that of theories modified by circumstances ; desires never to be more than half satisfied ; ambition obliged to mince and pipe it humbly now and then ; and favour among our fellows, even well earned, always liable to a reverse when streteld a point It too far, or too presumptuously - ..-' • ,* - Yet who ever enumerated among the probable functions of the House of Lords, .a tendency to check the lavish expenditure of the repre sentatives of the people, and to be over jealous of the national revenue? The true explanation of this anomaly is, that the LoWer House has been coerced in spite of itself into the blind following out of a pretentions scheme to which it thought itself committed ; that it was told to shut its eves,and that it would see what it would see—next year. In fact there was not even this much allusion to the future. The nation was bid to let the future take c are of itself, and at present to confine itself to the wild and foolish schemes of a brilliant theo riser, who was bent on showing how much he e - onld be unlike his self of former years, and above those rules of political Koresight, and, indeed, as • • lie himself said, honour, which' he ' ha(i . so vehe mently pressed upon other Chancellors of the Exchequer. We say, then, fearlessly; that the House of Lords has come to the rescue of the nation, and done what the House of Commons knew it ought to have done, and did not. It has ante dated the period of retribution which next year probably charged with for Mr. GLADSTONE'S head. The House of Commons allowed itself to be blindfolded ; and would not look at the short future. Was the Rouse of Lords to imitate a desperation and a 'folly whi6 had become criminal ? There not a man in the House of Commons who, in his better. Mind, and removed from the influence of Mr. GLXDSTONE'S rhetoric, would ilot have declared the financier to be a lunatic who could have imported into the recent danger ous Bild , ret such a gratuitous and reckless feature as the 'repeal of the paper duty. We are certainly of opinion that a Budget might have been even now prepared, in which this measure would have been a justifiable and prudent concession to the' reasonable wishes of important classes of the people. But Mr. GLADSTONE must be taught that he cannot do everything ; and that there must come a point where the vaulting ambition of financiers, like that of other people, must " o'erleap itself and fall on t'other side." We are much mistaken if the people of this coun try do not account it in equal proportions—a disgrace to the Commons and an honour to the Lords, that the first did not, and the second did, administer this le4son to a very able, but a very arrogant and imprudent minister. MISSION TO CENTRAL AFRICA. The meeting on behalf of the Cbcfurd and Cam,- bridge mission, which is to be held this evening in the Philharmonic Hall, is exciting consider able interest, from the expected presence amongst the speakers of Lord Brougham and the Rishop of Oxford. Along with Archdeacnn Mackenzie, Thomas Bazley, the Rev. Canon Cliftop,,, and the Rev. Richard Greswell, of Oxford, they had yesterday to address a meeting in the Free Trade Hall at Manchester. Any abstract of the speeches, however, would be an uneourteous anticipation of the proceedings of this evening, which will b,e duly reported in the ir,ady Tints of to-morrow. LATEST NEWS. I IVY BRITISH . AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.I THE EASTERN QUESTION. The Powers which signed the treaty of Paris will address collectively a memorandum to the Porte on the grievances of the Christians. The Sultan will complain that the facts are -greatly exaggerated, and will propose a commission of inquiry. In the meantime a crisis will be pro duced by a general insurrection in the provinces of Turkey in Europe, which certain ambitious powers will direct to their own ends. Such, it is presumed, in some official quarters, is the course the eastern question will take. A St. Petersbnrg letter says the Russian journals are filled with letters complaining of atrocities committed by the Turkish authorities. The Russian public is thus wrought into excite ment, and the echo of their complaints reaches the Emperor. The writer adds i—The relations between Prince Gortschakoff and the French Ambassador are becoming every day more cor dial. Everybody at St. Petersburg believes that this good understanding is founded on the fact of the two governments taking the same view of the Eastern question. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, May 23. Count Thun, the Austrian ambassador at St. Petersburg, has arrived here. It is not true that the Emperor will deliver a speech at the opening of the Council of the Empire. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, May 23 The Prince Regent will proceed to-morrow via Kreuznach and Saarbruck to Trier, to be present at the opening of the Rhine, Nahe, Saarbruck, and Trier railway. According to the Kreitzzeitui?y, Marshal Mac mahon, Commander-in.-Chief of the camp at Chalons, has received orders to welcome therrinee Regent, in the name of the Emperor of the French, on his arrival at the French frontier. The Prussian Ambassador at Paris, Count Pourtales, will also go to "Saarbruck to join the the Prince Regent. BERLIN, May 23. It is asserted that the Ambassadors of the Foreign Powers are about to demand explana tions respecting the speech of the Government Councillor—Mathis —in the sitting of the 21st instant, in which the councillor recommended an intimate alliance between Prussia and England, in consideration of the Franco-Russian alliance. BERLIN, May 23, The Prussian Chambers were closes to=day b 7 the Prince Regent, who, in his speech, said Government is most seriously endeavouring to bring about such solutions of the questions which at present engage the attention of the European etibne s ts #l.s will be adequate to the Maintenance of the political equilibrium. The principles which guide the Government in its relations with the German Confederation and the German Diet, in regard to the present highly important affairs, have been explained during this session. The Government, also, will in future adhere to these principles, and will continue to regard the maintenance of the recognised rights of others as necessary for the main tenance of its own rights. Notwithstand ing the difference of opinion existing in reference to important questions, in one feeling all the German Governments as a people are unanimous with myself and the Prussian people, that is in unshaken fidelity to the common father land, and the strong conviction that the indepen dence of the nation ani the integrity of the national territory are matters of importance before which all internal affairs and dissensions far recede. The continuation of his Royal Highness's speech treated of questions respecting the interior. HANOVER, May 23. It is said that the negotiations for the conclu sion of commercial treaties between France and several other States will shortly be opened at Paris. ROME. A secret note, in the name of the Pope, to the bishops in Italy, traces the line of conduct to be pursued by them under present circumstances. The church ought never to recede before the violence of the civil power. Liberty no longer exists in the states of the King of Sardinia, and the prelates who are unable to resist the violence to which they are subject, are requested to retire to Rome to await better times. INDIA. Telegrams from India were received yester day at the India-office. The Governor-General was at Simla on the 4th of May, and had held a darbur on the previous day for the reception of the Hill chiefs. He was expected to arrive at Calcutta May 7th. Cholera was disappearing in Oude. On the 20th of April the Wurzerees attacked Colonel Larkin's column with some damage to the cattle and camp followers, but they were driven out with heavy loss, and pur sued for three miles over the hills, and to all appearances broken up. A late despatch states that the force under General Chamberlain had joined that under Colonel Lumsden on the 26th April. The Wurzerees had given up their inten tion of holding Shapoor and Petray, and had retreated. Government Five per Cent. Loan quoted at 3to 3 dis. The Five and a-Half per Cent. Loan 3to 31 prem. The Calcutta date not given in the telegram. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Sir H. Bold Hoghton has sold his yacht, the Gipsy Queen, to the Earl Fitzwilliain. Madame Gassier, the talented and popular vocalist, arrived from the United States in the Africa, on Sunday last. We are sure there are few in the musical circles of this district who will not rejoice to hear of her great success on the other side of the Atlantic, CAB ACCIDENT. - Yesterday afternoon, about six o'clock, a boy of about ten years of age was run over ty a cab, No. 135, in the Haymarket, near St. George's Hall. He received a slight wound on the ankle and injury on the arm. The accident could not, it WO stated by spectators, be prevented. MARINE INSURANCE.-It will be seen by an 211110111 16• ment we advertise to-day from the New York Board of Underwriters, that Mr. S. R. Graves, of Baltic -buildings? Redcross-street, is their agent for Liverpool, Queens- - • town, and the neighbouring coasts, to whom 'all docu ments relating to claims on members of the board must be submitted. VERY CHOICE SELECTION OF DRAWINGS IN WATER COLOURS.—Mr. J. F. Griffiths will offer for sale this day, at twelve o'clock, at his gallery, 44, Church-street , a large collection of choice drawings, including beautiful _ . specimens of members of the Old and New Water Colour Societies. Gentlemen desirous of adding to their co!- leetionof fine arts will find some excellent pictures in this collection. It will be seen from an advertisement that the Rev• J. R. McDuff, the author of " The Faithful Promises,' &c., will preach in the Scotch Church, Oldham-street , at 11 o'clock on Sunday next, the 27th instant, and in St. Andrew's Scotch Church, Rodney-street, at half past 6 o'clock in the evening. A collection will be made after each service, in aid of the Ladies' Auxiliahi Society for the Promotion of Female Education io India. THE DREADNOUGHT.—Some time ago we noticed the arrival here of this very famous ship, after one of her usually rapid passages ; and we have now to record her passage out to New York in nineteen days, beating everything before her. This, as we often have stated/ proves that she never made a chance passage. For the five years that she is on the station her average 11 0 been about nineteen days, both ways; and this shows that the ship and her commander, Captain Samuels, are equal to any emergency. LUDICROUS RAILWAY HOAX.—Considerable excite- ment was lately experienced amongst the shareholde' and employOs of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway, by the appearance of advertisements calling s meeting of the shareholders, to consider " the necessity of railway managers being members of Parliament ; an d if yea, then of a measure for electing all managers as legislators, and dispensing with their managerships and salaries ; and for a return of the hours spent at their respective railways." Considerable canvas was in ope ration, proxies obtained, and votes totted up, before some sapient shareholder discovered the "skit," and that the proposed meeting was fixed for a Sabbath day COMMITTAL TO GAOL.—At the County Court, yester day, before J. K. Blair, Esq., the following persons were committed to gaol :—James Smith, 4, Broom' street, Denbigh-street, 14 days, in a month ; Patrick Murphy, 11, Canning-road, Westminster, 14 days, in month ; William Knight, Soho-street, 14 days, in 3 month ; William Bentham, 4, Lesson-street, Edge-hill' 14 days, in six weeks; James M'Cormack, No. 1 shed, Albert Dock, 14 days, in a month ; Elizabeth NewebYr 61, Leeds-street, 14 days, in a month; Samuel Moreton, Pitt-street, 14 days, in a month ; George Pownall, 14 ' court, Frederick-street, 14 days, in a fortnight. SUPERINTENDENT CLOUGH'S SUCCESSOR.—OD day, at the meeting of the Watch Committee, gr' Inspector Kehoe was appointed to the office of chi vy superintendent of detective police, in the room of the late Mr. Robert Clough. In point of ability aigi experience there could not be a better appointment, as the new superintendent pOssesses all the ingredient's s"' requisite in an officer of such importance, and it IS 3 move in the right direction to find merit and talent thus properly rewarded. Even the people who know gr' Behoe only by reputation are glad to hear of his appointment, and the discrimination of the head on' stable and the Watch Committee in this instance Is creditable in all respects. Mr. William Horn, an active and efficient officer, succeeds Mr. Behoe, and this appointment, too, is well merited. Mr. Carlyle g Ol5 into Mr. Horn's place, and Mr. Laycock, a wortiii officer, succeeds the latter. These changes and pro motions are all well deserved, as the officers are highly respectable, and a credit to the force. SUICIDE AT SOUTHPORT.—It was discovered on Tiles' day, that a gentleman had committed suicide at Air: Stocker's, Scarisbrick Arms Hotel, Southport. 0a Monday morning, the deceased went to the above hotel, and some time afterwards intimated a desire to have a little rest, stating that he felt very much fatigued' having travelled the whole of the previous night. HO then went upstairs, and said ho did not Wis h to be disturbed. He had a small portmanteau with him, and his conduct was such as not to create the least snspicion. About ten o'clock yesterday morning, th e chambermaid went to his room-door, which was f ound to be fastened, inside, and, after a few knocks had been given without any reply, fears were entertained that something serious had occurred, and it was deter mined to enter the room. Some painters were empinY eci in the hotel, and one of them, named Carr, took a ladder and entered the bedroom through the win dow. He found the gentleman hanging by a strat i "' which had been secured to the head of the bed. DP l'lort, who happened to be passing at the time, vre * called in, and gave it as his opinion that the genti,elni an had been dead some hours. Upon the deceased 10 " found an ounce bottle, upon which was the following' " Laudanum—Poison. John M'Guttle and Co., che mists, Castle-street, Liverpool." In one of the deceased 5 pockets the sum of £l9 Bs. 7d. was found, together n th a piece of paper, upon which was written, evidently wi th a trembling hand, "21st May, 1860.—Brain severely congested. Take me home to Liverpool. Wallworth' house, Moseley-hill, Liverpool. Scarisbrick Arms. C 351 1, in pocket, £l9 Bs. 6d.—F. Robinson." The decease; had also a splendid gold watch, and this he had p lace d on the dressing-table. LITERAT URE. The UNIVERSAL TABLE-BOOK. Liverpool: James Cornish, 37, Lord-street. London: Cornish, 297, Holborn, W.C. Mr. M. D. Kavanagh, the author of the above work, has evidently been at a great deal of trouble in com piling this little book, which is the most useful, the best and cheapest table-book extant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-MAY 22, WARD V. NAPIER. This was rule to set aside a verdict for the defendant in this case. The plaintiff was owner of a steamer called the Storm King, and the defendant of another steamboat called the Lion. Both boats plied between Liverpool and Rhyl, and a collision having occurred at Rhyl, the plaintiff brought his action at Liverpool to recover damages, and the cause was tried at the last summer assizes, before Mr. Justice Willes. Mr. Pickering, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Holland), was heard in support of the rule. Their Lordships thought there was no ground for dis turbing the verdict.—Rule discharged. THE PAPER DUTY QUESTION. The Times says there will be neither parliamentary collision nor popular insurrection. The only result is, that the Lords, availing themselves of a capital oppor tunity, have vindicated a privilege and established a right which it still hopes they will be discreet enough to refrain from using except upon sonic equally proper occasion. The Morning Star asserts that the two houses of Parliament are already in violent collision. A large majority of the Commons have sanctioned the scheme of the Finance Minister. The leader of an equally large majority in the Lords have vehemently assaulted that Minister, and procured the rejection of a vital portion of his plans. The Post points out that all the precedents which were cited by Lord Lyndhurst had application to mea sures which imposed new taxation ; but the Paper Duty Bill proposes to repeal certain excise duties, and it is doubtful if any authority has yet been discovered which declares that a measure having this object is subject exactly to the same rules and conditions which affect ordinary money bills. The Daily News, referring to the division in the Lords on Monday, says :—When all is done and said, there will next year be collected, as taxes, a million sterling more than the House of Commons meant to be collected. If these proceedings of the Lords are con stitutional, then the alleged inseparable connection between taxation and representation is a delusion. If the House of Lords is to preserve its fair share of influence, it must learn to respect those privileges which the House of Commons exercises as the representative body of the nation. It is idle to talk of reform bills if the House of Commons is to become a cypher. The commercial sale-rooms, in Mincing-lane, will be closed in future at three o'clock on Saturdays. In consequence of the news from China, the tea market, on Tuesday, was #rm, at au advance of ,-td. per lb. on last week's prices. Coffee declined is., and cocoa 2s. per cwt., but the former met a fair current demand at the reduction. A popular demonstration, in support of Garibaldi and the Sicilian movement, was held at St. Martin's-hall, on Tuesday night. The hall was crowded, and great enthusiasm prevailed. A subscription was opened on behalf of the Garibaldi fund. The Italie Nouvelle, a French journal published at Milan, announces that a company is being formed for piercing a tunnel through the Simplon, in connection with a railway line which is to start from Geneva, touch at Thpnon, Martigny, Sion, and Brigg, and end at Aron 4 on the Italian side. The Vienna correspondents of the Augsburg Gazette continue to assert that the French Government approves Garibaldi's crusade against Naples. In fact, it is believed here that negotiations respecting the southern part of the Italian peninsula are now going on between France and Sardinia. Madame Ristori had a narrow escape of being poisoned. Her physician had ordered her a potion with 15 drops of laudanum in it, but the chemist who made up the prescription, put 30 drops by mistake. The symptoms produced by this over-dose were for a short time alarming, but the lady has now quite recovered. In Prussia, the Chamber of Nobles appears at last aware of the serious responsibility it incurred by its systematic opposition to the Government. It has just adopted, by a small majority-49 to 44—the bill relating to electoral circumscriptions, for which it had a great aversion. The Committee of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies have made their report on a motion of M. de Ronne concerning the inviolability of private property at sea in time of war, and they express their hopes that the Government will use every effort to obtain the recogni tion of such inviolability as a - principle of international law. The Espro of Turin states, on the authority of private letters from Venice, that the Austrian Government has directed the Venetian Railway Company to hold 3,000 waggons (an evident exaggeration) at the disposal of the military authorities to convey troops to Verona. Such a phalanx of the aristocracy of the land as the list of members of the Royal Yacht Club presents can not, it is said, be found elsewhere. In the list there are (exclusive of the First Lord of tk s , six e Admiraviscounts, lty) five dukes, seven marquises, fifteen earl e i g ht lords, four ri g ht hononrables, twenty-four baro nets, and the remainder are made up of members of Parliament, officers in the army, merchant princes, & c .

There is now lying in Coburg Dock one of the lar" powerful vessels which has yet been built for the na cv gation of the rivers of India, namely, the steamship Ganges. This vessel belongs to the Oriental Inlay ci 'Steam Navigation Company; and is commanded b Captain Maynard, late of the Cape mail steamers, vlb° is well known as one of the most experienced 9°l: menders in that line, and whose intimate [Fcina . l ll ante with the African coast has no doubt indticeu9 the Oriental Inland Company to secure hi s servicee in conducting this vessel to her destination. Th.,, Ganges was built by Mr. Reid, of Port Glasgow, and 1 : 200 feet long by 67 feet broad across the paddle-boxeras She has been built expressly for towing barges fro Calcutta to Allahabad. The Ganges is specially adapt.ea, for towing heavy loads, and is propelled b y two hi0,0.12_ pressure engines, with cylinders 26 inches in diameter and 6 feet stroke. The boilers are on the locoraotii principle, and the pressure of the steam is 120 per square inch. The boilers have been proved h: bby hydrostatic pressure to above twice the pressure ate heel which they are intended to work. T he effective poee of the engines is about 80 0 horses. The paddle-N5 14 larger are 16 feet .in diaMeter, and the paddle-bards are 12 feet long and about 22 inches wide. paddle high rates of speed, but a moderate di. iu m st as in railway diameter of paddle-wheel would be moreetersunAiftable for wheel is best for pulling h eav y loa n —s- -- ne .. s are invariably locomotion, o w ti i o t n h , s w m h al e l re dr t i h vi e n The engines of the been ma de by Messrs.

The speed of the steamer alone has been proved to be upwards of four teen miles an hour. The Ganges will be despatched in the.early part of next month, and it is expected that she will be plying on the Ganges in about foal months.

'llllw difficulty of taking out a vessel of such light draft '- the Ganges has been overcome by a most novel expe dient. A portion of one of the iron barges having b ee : inverted and fastened to the after part of the steame r : such a manner as to preve n t the waves from fining her'or injuring the machinery. Thi s vessel has two fanne: and presents a most ' peculiar appearance as she a° '; lies in the dock, from the fact of the iron barges berm inverted on her poop de c k.
