Exchequer Bills Bank Stock Three per Cents 93a Next Account . . . . . The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The funds opened steadily this morning, but were rather flat at the close, on the reported refusal of the Porte to become a party to the proposed convention on the affairs of Syria. About £4,000 in bar gold was taken from the Bank.—Tunes. The funds were again flat, without further apparent cause than the competitions of other securities. Consols declined I per cent. The only movement of interest in the Stock Exchange was again in British railway secu rities, the rise in which has received a fresh impulse from the declaration of high dividends by the North- Eastern Railway Company. The discount market was quiet, and the best bills were taken a per cent. below. the Bank minimum. The demand at the Bank was very slack. —D aily News.

The Danish ship Alexan4r, frosa:Akyab for Falmouth (rice), was spoken June 2, ST days out, in i ti, 3C S, lon. 22 10 E, in THE DAY'S NEWS. In the House of Lords yesterday Lord Clyde took the oaths and his seat as a Peer of the' realm. A consi derable amount of business was got through. The House of Commons last night was chiefly occu pied with the adjourned debate on the Indian Army Bill. The deliberate and reiterated misrepresentation of the French government press that Turkey had "acquiesced" in the French scheme of intervention, now stands con fessed. It is, nevertheless, announced that the convention may perhaps be signed this day. The Pays and the Patrie discreetly abstain from the publication of their usual " Latest News." There is reason to believe that the Turkish government, so far from having acquiesced in what is asked, only on Sunday last consented to negotiate on the question whether any, and what, con vention shall be entered into. Meanwhile, although the fairest promises are made, and the most moderate language is used by the French negotiators, in order to gain their point, the entourage of the Tuileries boasts in private conversation that the intervention shall take place quand lame, and that the "Eastern Question," in the largest sense, shall now be propounded. The doubts existing in the public mind as to which party really commenced the war in Lebanon are thus solved by an eyewitness, who left Beyrout on. the 3rd ultimo :—Having seen a vast deal of the destruction of property, and fighting there, I can only say that my own—and I believe the general opinion on my depar ture—was that the Christians were the more in fault. At Zahleh, their great stronghold, and the scene of the late awful massacre, I was detained for several days, during which time troops of about 50 each kept con stantly passing through to their rendezvo4s in the mountains, which troops, I was told, were mustering for the extermination of the Druses, who a as I under stood, were supposed to be in ignorance of these pre parations ; on the contrary, however, theirs were going on more rapidly, but less ostentatiously, and thus they were enabled to strike the first blow before the Chris tians were prepared. Great excitement has prevailed in Constantinople in consequence of the news from Syria. There are those who consider the state of that capital itself highly cri tical. Fears for the safety of the Christian population are entertained in quarters where sound information should exist, and by persons whose opinions one cannot altogether disregard. During the last few days, says a letter of the 18th, and especially throughout the whole of yesterday, a conflict between the police and the schis matic Armenians has been imminent. Near the Adria nople Gate of Stamboul is an Armenian cemetery. It has no doubt always been used as a place of interment of the schismatic Armenians. There seems, however, to be as little doubt that Protestant Armenians have been constantly buried there without opposition or hindrance on the part of the more numerous sect of their fellow countrymen. On Saturday last, the body of an old man, a Protestant Armenian, was carried out for burial. No previous dispute had, as far as I can ascer tain, arisen between the two sects as to their respective rights of sepulture in this cemetery. On the funeral reach ing this place, a large ntimber of schismatic Armenians were found assembled there. These declared that they would allow no Protestant to be buried among the remains of members of their own church. The Pro testants persisted in their intention to proceed with the interment, but were forcibly prevented from so doing. The police were called in to enforce what the authorities Tould seem to regard as the rights of the Protestants. The nioi? . of schismatic Armenians increased, and the force of police present ws?s not sufficient. Through out Sunday and Monday the body remained on the ; ground awaiting burial, the authorities not deeming it prudent ttt send troops to clear the ground by force. 'Throughout the whole of yesterday there were between 4,000 and 5,000 persons collected, and a col lision was hourly expected. Matters had then assumed so serious an aspect that Sir Henry Bulwer, who had received ieyeated communications on the subject, deemed his per sonal interference necessary. His Excellency proceeded from Therapia in the Banshee to Constantinople, where he had interviews, first, with the Grand Vizier, and subsequently with the Armenian Patriarch. The result was that the body was allowed to be buried last night by the police, 200 of whom were in attendance. These facts are significant—in the first place, because it is certain that, for some political purpose, the schismatic Armenians were put upon behaving as they did; secondly, as serving to show the extreme reluctance of the Turkish authorities to suffer even the slightest col lision between their own soldiers or poliee and the Christian population at the present time. The Piedmontese Government has published the secret treaty between itself and France. The Emperor consents to the annexation of the two Sicilies "by any means ;', and also of Ombria and the Marches in the Papal States —preserving Rome only for the Pope. In compensation France is to gain the islands of Sardinia and Elba and Ligaria, including Genoa and Ls Spezia, without eon sultiag Me populations ! The French Emperor also consents to the annexation of Venetia. The Manitear contains a decree augmenting the number of staff officers from 560 to 580, alleging as a reason that the present corps is insufficient even in time of peace for the necessities of the service; "occasioned by the augmentation of the army. and the increase of French territory." EVer since the telegraph announced throughout Italy the departure of Garibaldi on a second expedition, the minds of all Italians have been filled with profound anxiety. The news has spread like wildfire, and even in remote country villages has been received with the liveliest demonstrations of joy. Even the country people, till now absolutely indifferent to the vital questions agitated in the great centres of the population, pause from their work on the appearance of a stranger, raid inquire the latest news of Garibaldi and La Cicilia (sic). Every one, however limited may be the circle of his acquirements, has managed to form something like a definite notion of the actual state and of the ultimate aspirations of Italy. The import duty on woollen good§ entering France has been fixed at twenty per cent. The Leeds Chamber of Commerce, which has lately been much occupied with this subject, was about to send _over, a deputation to Paris ; but it has just received an official ultimatum, that there is no occasion for the woollen deputation pro c'eeding to Paris, as the business was at an end before the commission so far as woollens are concerned. The Chamber is taking means to induce the Portuguese government to reduce the . present duties charged on woollen goods entering Portugal. A schedule has been issued, detailing the fortifications which the Government propose to commence this year, and which involves an outlay of something short of five millions. This sum includes £1,920,000 for the Ports mouth district; £1,200,000 for Plymouth; £220,000 for Pembrpke ; £lBO,OOO for four batteries on the Thames ; £350,000 for sea defences and works in front of Mile Town (Sheeiness) ; £650,000 for Chatham ; £170,000 for Dover ; £120,000 for Cork; and £150,000 for the purchase - of a site for the Central Arsenal. It would, of course, be impossible to complete the whole of these works within the next twelve months, and therefore Lord Palmerston asks for tfie year 1860-61 only £2,000,000, which includes a sum of £350,000 for works already sanctioned by Par liament. The entire estimate for the National Defence Commissioners' scheme is £9,000,000, so that fortiti_ cations involving an expenditure of some £4,000,000 will still remain to be execated, Some parties feel justified in predicting that the langour of this long and barren session is to be relieved, almost in its last moments, by a great and fierce party struggle. On Monday next, Mr. Gladstone brings forward his resolution, settling the Customs duty on paper, and it is stated that the Opposition, taking up the case of the English paper manufacturers, will divide in force against the arrangement to which the right hon. gentleman will ask the house to assent. Among the stipulations of the commercial treaty with France is the following : —" Her Britannic Majesty promises to recommend to Parliament to admit into the United Kingdom merchan dise imported from France at a rate of duty equal to the excise duty which is or shall be imposed upon articles of the same description in the United Kingdom. At the same time the duty chargeable upon the importation of such merchandise may be augmented by such a sum as shall be equivalent for the expenses which the sys tem of Excise may entail upon the British producer." The charge on English-made paper is 14s. 9d. per cwt. ; and Mr. Gladstone is of opinion that, in this case, Is. 3d. per cwt. will cover the "expenses which the system of Excise may entail upon the British producer." He, therefore, purposes to fix the Customs duty at 165., an amount which our manufacturers, however, consider altogether inadequate. This view, it is asserted, is shared by the Conservative leaders, who " have made a great whip," with the view of dealing a blow at once at the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Treaty with France. A violent thunder storm visited the neighbourhood of Windsor and Slough on Saturday afternoon. About half-past three o'clock a labourer named Joseph Langley, and three horses, at work in a field belonging to Mr. Cantrell, Baylis Farm, near Windsor, were struck by lightning and killed instantly. From an examination of the bodies of the deceased and horses after the occur rence, it was evident that the force of the electric current in its passage to the earth was most terrific, the hat worn by the deceased at the time being torn to shreds and scattered about, while the whole of the upper portion of the body was frightfully injured. A similar, if not the same, disturbance of the elements extended itself to London, about eight o'clock at night. In Sutherland-street, Pimlico, two houses, four stories high, were struck with lightning, and although at the time it was not anticipated any serious damage had resulted, they fell on. Sunday morning in consequence of the injuries they received. Had the premises been inhabited the loss of 'life must have been very great. It was fortunately otherwise, however, but the occur rence, as may naturally be supposed, created considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. great distress, having lost rudder, some sails, and upper masts in a gale fifteen days previous, and the crew, consisting of the captain, officers, and thirteen seamen, were taken on board the Gyre Castle, and landed at St. Helena. _ _ The Bomarsund, Thompson, from Bassien for Liverpool, at Algoa Bay leaky, bulwarks carried away, &c. • The Thomas Blyth (of London), from Mauritius for London, at Simon's Bay leaky.

WE all know that every Irishman is a real born gentleman, but not over fastidious as to the con gruity or entirety of his wardrobe. The native idea of full court 'dress, consisting of nothing more than a waistcoat without buttons, and a pair of short' gaiters, may be obselete, if ever anything more than a musty joke. It does not appear, however, that the Pope's quartermasters at Ancona and Macerata have 4 very different esti mate of what is a suitable uniform for Paddy when he enlists as a crusader. " An old flannel shirt,"—no doubt out at elbows and considerably shrunk at waist and wrists—" and an indescri bable pair of knee breeches"—little more than gaiters, we presume —are, by the latest accounts from some of themselves, just returned—" the uniform of the Pope's Irish Brigade!" Coats are not only not supplied, but, it seems, are positively prohibited. The traditional Irishman's personal wants are generally set down at a very moderate and easily supplied ratio,—namely, " plenty of fighting, and something to ate." Even in these respects General LAMORICIERE seems to have left "the Pope's Irish" tj find themselves. In providing the former commodity Irishmen seldom have much difficulty, and are always ready to extemporise 13,T1 affray. We all remember a rather ludicrous instance of this well-known facility, which occur red recently, when a few hundreds of Irish gentlemen had paid their half - crowns to see Tom SAYERS and the BENECIA BOY illustrate "the manly art." The rival champions of the ring, as usual, being a few minutes past the appointed hour for commencing, the audience first shouted playklly, and then a promiscuous challenge was given and accepted all round. Every man thereupon fisticuffed his neighbour heartily, and in a minute or two every body had a black-eye or a bloody-nose ; and when the professional combatants made their appearance in the arena, they also were attacked by the throng; and obliged to fly—the would-be spec tators being satisfied with their own performance. So the Irishmen who went out to see the fighting in Italy, for want of employment against the Pope's enemies, seem to have taken to fighting amongst themselves, and the only alternative has been that of. sending them away "to the place from whence they came." Not even " something to ate" was supplied them : for we hold that what did not please an Irishman in that respect, could not have been worthy of the name of human food, either in quantity ,or quality. Thirty miles a-day, with nothing .to eat, or means to procure any ! That was too much even for a god-son of St. PATRICK. Four copper coins, about the size of a halfpenny,an d called a bojaccio,even with the Pope's arms impressed on it, was too poor pay even for an Irish gentleman. The Most scanty allowance of genuine " taters," laughing through the seams of their jackets, over a peat fire in the ould country, are preferable to bits of macca roni and • salt, with a bit of dark brown coarse bread. Verily the chivalry of these pious and faithful - sons of Holy Mother Church seems to have been little appreciated in the Eternal City. Those who have been shot by the Pope's own general would seem to have had the best of it—for their miseries, we hope, are at an end, We know not whether to pity more those who have returned to the land of bogs reduced in purse, person, and reputation—if they ever had any—or those who have remained to eat maccaroni and salt, and rot amid squalor and filth which completely eclipses the most famine stricken cabins of the western counties. " Oh, Irishmen will always be fools!" said, a hearty, rollicking son of the Emerald Isle in our hearing the other day, and he evidently gloried in the folly-loving boast ; and there may be some grain of truth in the description. We are very much mistaken, however, if there are among them many such fools as to set out for Rome in the face of recent disclosures as to the treatment of their fellow countrymen in the Papal dominions. We are not among those who would abuse Irish men and Irish priests for having undertaken or promoted this expedition. At the very time that some parties in this country were sending means to GARIBALDI to carry on hostilities against FRANCIS 11., how can we blame " the faithful," for endeavouring to strengthen the hands of their chief pastor when he had appealed to them for succour. We may differ in toto credo with the Rev. Father O'REILLY of this town, and we may especially regret that he played so prominent a part in forwarding many of these recruits en route for Rome, but we dare not call in question his zeal, consistency, or honesty. No more do we see any necessity for doubting the good faith of any of the other priestly agents who shared in this thankless task. Doubtless, accord ing to their convictions, all was done for the best. The Irish and their priests were doing nothing more, although in a very different cause, than the agents of GARIBALDI, and many of the people of England are doing at this moment. This is a free country, in . which 'we permit the greatest latitude of speech and action, and the best way of converting those who do not fully appreciate these blessings, or who would abuse them, is to give them full scope, and, as in this instance, they are likely soon to find out their mistake. One of the best curatives of rabid republican discontent with our monarchical institutions used to be a brief residence in the United States of America—the model republic. Perhaps, in like manner, one of the best remedies for Irish discontent with Saxon and Protestant rule is a short stay under the paternal sway of the Holy Father within the confines of his own dominions Such an experience seems to have speedily satisfied the Irish Brigade, and it might be advantageous rather than otherwise to encourage other pilgrims to go and taste at the same fountain head. The brave, generous, and confiding people of Ireland might,, after such a pilgrimage, feel inclined to alter their views as to the propriety of compelling the oppressed and remonstrating subjects of the Pope to submit to his unbearable yoke. They might then begin to see the imprac ticability of maintaining his temporal sovereignty. We have at present nothing to say against His Holiness as the chosen head of a great spiritual organisation ; but we cannot help thinking that the revelations we have received as to the suffer ings of. these noble and devoted " sons of the church," is only another confirmation of the often repeated and demonstrable truth, that the Pope's civil and military administration has been, and still is, characterised by the gravest blunders, the most wicked cruelty, and the blackest crimes which have stained the annals of tyrannical despotism ; and that the sooner " the Father of the Faithful" is relieved of all the cares which attach themselves to his political position; and the marshalling of troops to defend it, so much the better for humanity, for the progress of truth, and the peace of the world—especially of Ireland. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening, July 29, 1860. English pickpockets at present swarm here, and before one of the Tribunals yesterday, three of them were charged *ith this offence. They gave their names and ages to the police as follows : —Jackson, aged 28, lodging-house keeper; Mac donald, aged 26, cigar merchant ; a woman named Gordon, aged 36, who said she was a dressmaker. It appeared that they were in the habit of living in the most expensive style at the best hotels here. They were dressed with elegance, and spoke with a genteel accent in English. Foreigners frequenting the hotels where these pickpockets put up used to wonder how they continued to get the money which they spent so prodigally. They . _ were not long in finding out their means of sub sistence. From representations made to the secret police, they were placed under surveillance, but for some days it was impossible to surprise the three pickpockets in the act. They were always together when they committed the thefts, then parted quickly to meet again at the Rotonde coffee-house, where they were arrested. Jackson pretended that he had come here for the benefit of his health; 'Macdonald said that he had brought over a little dog to a lady who had very much ad mired it. Folsid guilty. Jackson was sentenced to three years' imprisonment; Macdonald and the woman Gordon each to two years. The conferences which have hitherto been held here between the Great Powers to determine - the conditions under which they are prepared to sanction the intervention of France in the affairs of Syria have had no result of a definite kind. Another meeting has been convened for to-mor row, at which it 'is expected the necessary arrangements and guarantees will be agreed upon. In the meantime there is no end of rumours respecting the points what had been the subject of debate at these conferences, though the only real difficulty seems to have been the obtaining of the acquiescence of the Porte in the proposed inter vention, and that—it• is now positively stated . __,.h as somehow or other been got over. The latest accounts represent that matters have so far progressed that the different Powers have agreed upon the amour t of force which each is to contribute towards the expedition, which is to consist, in all, of 10,00,0 men. Nothing is said of the amount of the con tingent which Russia is to furnish ; but although the report that Spain was allowed to take part in these conferences is not confirmed, it is announced that she is alsq tq be represented in Syria by two steam corvettes. There is, however, an important stipulation made by France, which is, that in case the other powers shall not furnish, by a day. named, their respective contingents, she shall be authorised to make up the deficiency. This cir cumstance explains the reason why France has completed her preparations for sending the whole number fixed on for the expedition. Preparations are likewise made on a similarly large scale for increasing the number of ships and transports at Toulon, and the arrival at that port of nearly 1,000 sailors is announced from Cherbourg, while bodies of troops which are intended for Syria have been reviewed by Marshal Niel, and defiled before him uttering most enthusiastic cries of " Vive le Empereur." I -am still without any confirmation of the news of Garibaldi haying been wounded before Messina, but such is not the case with those accounts which represented affairs at Naples as becoming daily more difficult and critical. Up to the 27th instant, the peace of the city remained undisturbed ; but an outbreak was every moment anticipated.. It appears more than probable that the fifteen ships, whose departure for Sicily has been recently announced, were sent to Messina . merely to bring back the remnant of the Neapoli tan troops in that and other neighbouring sta tions. The struggle at Milazzo was of the most desperate description. The fighting commenced at six o'clock in the morning, and lasted until eight o'clock at night. The melee was terrible, and every part of the line was engaged; the carnage was frightful, the field of battle being covered with bodies, and with baggage of all descriptions, belonging to the Neapolitans who left five guns in the hands of Garibaldi, which were captured by his troops, shouting " Vive Phalle," " Vive tk.ribaldi." The Sicilian youth on this occasion rivalled in enthusiasm the bravest of the Garibaldi legion, which was the first to engage and the first to take to the bayonet, before which the Royal troops invariably flee. The losses on the side of the Sicilians were not very great, but that of the volunteers from Italy was unusually severe. As for the Neapolitans, their losses were enormous, and they were pursued right up to the gates of the fortress. On the following morning, General Bosco who had command of the Neapolitans presented himself at the quarters of Garibaldi and demanded to be allowed to evacuate the citadel with the honours of war,.but Garibaldi refused to accede to this request, telling his oppo nent, however, that he and his men might depart without their arms if they wished. Fabrizi and Interdonato marched upon Gesso by order of the Dictator ; and the enemy who occupied that fortress retired immediateiy upon Messina. It is stated that in a combat with the enemy's cavalry at Milazzo, Garibaldi, who was hard pressed .at the moment, turned upon his pursuers, and, with a back stroke of his sabre, cut off from the shoulder the arm of a Neapolitan major, upon which the enemy's cavalry broke and fled. By a subsequent account I see that the Neapolitan General Bosco was subsequently allowed to capitulate with the honours of war, and his remaining 3,000 men, for whom there was not room in the citadel of Mes sina, have been sent on to Calabria by General Clary, who, it is stated, has received orders from his government to abstain from fighting the enemy as much as possible during the present state of affairs and the negotiations between Naples and Sardinia ; though it' case of Messina being attacked by Garibaldi, he is authorised to defend himself by every means in his power, and, if necessary, to bombard the city, which, however, in anticipation of such a calamity, has been deserted by its inhabitants. The inactivity of Garibaldi is attributed, among other causes, to the arrival in his camp before Messina of the Count Letta Modignani, aide-de camp of the King of Sardinia, who is the bearer of an autograph letter addressed to the Dictator by his Majesty, urging him to allow time for negotiation before proceeding to embark for the Neapolitan territory. It is also said that this entreaty is backed by the governments both of England and France. The whole official world, and all classes more or - less easy in their circumstances, are leaving here at present. The Count Walewski and his lady, and also M. Baroche, have left for Vichy. M. de Lamartine also has gone to his estate at Monceao, and other celebrities have followed his example, but the general emigration from the capital is fully com pensated by the constant arrivals, and passing through, of an enormous number of foreigners. These constant visitors contribute in like manner, with the exceeding variableness of the weather, to fill our theatres, which, in general, are doing a first-rate business, and are about to terminate a season of extraordinary success. This latter observation applies, in an especial manner, to the representation of " Semi ramide," to witness which many parties have been unable to obtain admission. The arrival of another party of Irish, amount ing to 55 in number, is announced at Trieste from Ancona. They are on their return home. Some of them it seems have refused to take military service, and others are found unfit for it ; several among them declare—a thing far from unlikely— that they were engaged•as labourers on the rail ways, but the irhole of them complain of the treatment they have met with at the hands of the Pontifical authorities. ANNUAL VISIT OF INSPECTION TO THE LIGHTSHIPS AND LIGHTHOUSES BY THE MERSEY DOCK BOARD. Yesterday morning, the members of the Mersey Dock Board and Town Council paid their annual visit to the lightships and lighthouses under their control. They left the landing-stage, accompanied by a large party of their friends, at half-past nine o'clock, and embarked on board the Iron Duke, which was specially engaged for the occasion. The weather was all that could be desired for a trip of this kind. They visited the various lightships in succession, which it is needless to say were found, as usual, in the best possible order and efficiency. On arriving off the North-west Lightship, the life-boats in connection with the river—which the steamer had taken in tow—started for their annual race. They were five in number, and after a most exciting contest the Hoylake boat proved victorious. The Iron Duke then proceeded on her way as far as Puffin Island, where some of the party landed for a short time. A most agreeable day was spent, and the delighted excursionists returned to the Great Land ing -stage about nine o'clock in the evening, thoroughly gratified with their voyage. DEATH FROM INJURY.—John Wilson, a joiner, 43 years of age, who lived in Barton-street, Kirkdale, had his hand crushed some time ago, and died in consequence of the injuries.

He also believed that the defendant never entered into a distinct engagement by which he could be turned out at a week's notice. 'kinder these circumstances there must be a nonsuit. THE SESSIONS.—The sessions for the borough open this morning, before Gilbert Henderson, Esq., recorder, at St. George's-hall. A second court will also be held to-day and to-morrow, before Mr. Aspinall, the deputy recorder. The calendar is of about the usual average extent, containing, exclusive of committals yesterday and to-day, 66 .cases of felony, and 8 of misdemeanour. The Court of Passage, before E. James, Esq., assessor, will open on Thursday, The Great Northern Railway was blocked up nearly seven hours, from Saturday evening to four o'clock yesterday morning, in consequence of the breaking of an axle of the engin e Qf th e up Scotch express train in Pile of th e t unne l s near Flornsey, which threw several of the car riages off, the rails, but fortunately the passengers escaped without serious injury.

In the sitting of the German Diet on the 27th, a formal complaint was made on the part of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg against the Govern ment of Denmark, on the ground that it has increased the quota of the general taxes of the kingdom paid by the Duchy of Holstein, without the assent of the representatives of the Duchy. THE SYRIAN QUESTION. PARIS, July 30. The Conference on the affairs of Syria assem bled to-day at 2 p.m., for the second time, at the Minister for Foreign Affairs. In this sitting, the French proposal for intervention which, subject to the acquiescence of the Porte, has been accepted by the Great Powers, was discussed for the first time. It is asserted that the Turkish Ambassadors, following the instructions received from Constantinople, claimed essential modifica tions of the project of convention. It is also stated that England, Austria, and Russia declared themselves ready to send troops to Syria. Another sitting of the Conference must, it is said, take place, as the representatives of the Great Powers have to obtain authority from their Governments to sign the Convention. The Ambassadors of the five Great Powers, before proceeding to the Conference at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which will take place at two o'clock to-day, held a preparatory sitting at twelve o'clock, at the hotel of the Turkish Ambassador. The Paris letters of the Daily News states that the French Government has only consented to negotiate on the question whether any and what convention shall be entered into. The entourage of the Tuileries persist that the intervention will take place, and that the Eastern question in the largest sense shall now be pro pounded. MURDER OF AN.IRISH MISSIONARY IN SYRIA. A letter from Damascus states that the Rev. Mr. Graham, of the Irish Presbyterian Missions, has been murdered in the open streets while endeavouring to make his escape from a Moslem house, where he had been hid by the British Con sul. He had a guard of Turkish soldiers with him, but they did nothing,in defending him from the Moslem mob. AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN CONVENTION. A well-informed weekly journal of Paris states that, at the interview at Tceplitz, a convention between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin was irrevocably agreed upon. The clauses are yet entirely unknown. The Convention was not signed by the Emperor and the Prince Regent, but was left to be settled -with as little delay as possible by their respective Ministers.

The Paris correspondent of the Post telegraphs that it was only yesterday that official intelli gence was received that the Sultan's government had accepted the proposal to commence a nego tiation for a. convention. The plenipotentiaries will assemble to-day at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs. Until the signature of the convention no embarkation of troops will take . place. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that the propositions of the Powers are as follows :—A contingent to be furnished by each Power for the pacification of Syria. France, 4,000 men ; England, 2,000 ; Prussia, 2,000; and Austria, 2,000. Nothing is said of Russia.. It is. also proposed that if any a the Powers will not, or cannot, send troops, France will supply th e deficiency, so as to complete the number of 10,000 men. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The Post, in a conspicuous leader, says that a letter has just been received in London, the writer of which it may be presumed is the Emperor Napoleon. In this letter an earnest desire is expressed for our alliance, coupled with the prac tical request that we should work out in Italy and in Syria a united policy. Moreover, the letter contains assurances relative to tnilit4trY and naval strength, of a frank and explicit character. Th e main object of the lettex is apparently an anxious desire for th e ma i n t enance o f pe ace throughout Europe, the development of the commercial resources of France, and the cultivation of a good understanding and common action betw een the two great Western Powers. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The substitution of the Armstrong, gun, throughout the b r igade of the R o y a l H orse Artillery, is nova completed. A number of sergeant-maj ors i n the Royal Artillery are a ppointed a s a dj utants in volunteer co r ps, with an emolument o f 10s der may, in addition to their retiring pension, and will shortly be gazetted. Ii Majesty, though unable to review the volunteer corps of the northern counties, either on her way to or from Scotland, has expressed a hope that she may have an opportunity of doing so at another period. The new curate in St. George's-in , the-East commenced bis duties yesterday. At the morn ing service tho rev. . gentleman ascended the pulpit in his surplice, and about 150 of the people walked out of the Church. At the evening ser vice there was, as usual, a large congregation. The prayers were read and not intoned. Mr. Hassard, the curate, again preached this titne . la his black gown, and he was listened tc t w ith marked attention; IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDIY Lord Clyde took the oaths and his seat The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for copies or extracts from the despatches of her Majesty's ministers in Tuscany in 1855, 's64and '57, referring to the condition and administration of the Roman States. his object was to complete the informa tion already produced as to his own conduct and that of Mr. Lyons in these communications with the Papal Government. Lord WODEHOUSE offered no objection, and the motion was agreed to. Lord St. LEONARDS called attention to the state of the law respecting the duchy of Cornwall, especially as regards crown debts. The Lord CHANCELLOa said that he should have no objection to any alteration in the law which could be shown to be con ducive to the public interests. Lord BROUGHAM, in moving for certain returns connected with the county courts, remarked upon the enormous amount of business there transacted, and suggested the policy of trans ferring the court judges, as vacancies occur, to the superior courts. The returns were endorsed. The Prisons (Scotland) and the. Titles to Land (Scotland) Bills passed through committee ; as did the Municipal Corpora tions (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, and the Party Emblems (Ireland) Bill, and the County Courts Bill. The Highways (South Wales) Bill, the Manchester Cathedral Church Bill, the Felony and Misdemeanour Bill, the Postage, Army and Navy, Bill, the Medical Act Amendment Bill, and the High way-rates Act Continuance Bill were read a third time and passed. Lord DENMA3, on the order of the day for the second read ing of the Stipendiary Magistrates Eill, asked the House to consider it of sufficient urgency to suspend the standing order prohibiting bills after the 17th of July from being reads second time. Lord Redesdale, Earl Yowls, and Lord Stanley of Alderley opposed the motion, not thinking the bill of sufficient urgency. The order was discharged, and the House adjourned at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock In reply to Mr. B. Osborne and Sir C. Napier, Lord JoHN RUSSELL said Lord Dufferin had been appointed to represent this country in the Commission about to proceed to Syria, for the settlement of the difficulties in that quarter. Lord Dufferin had already been in Syria, and was well acquainted with the people. On the order of the day for resuming the debate on going into committee on the European Forces India Bill, Mr. Honsmax moved the adjournment of the debate, for the purpose of urging the Primier to follow up Ms late speech, by putting the national defences in order without delay. So startling a speech had never been made in the House of Com mons, and he was astonished at the carelessness with which it was received. The right hon. member was proceeding to make one of his ordinary attacks on the ministers, when the Speaker interposed, and told him that he was out of order in thus dis cussing a matter totally foreign to the subject. Lord PALMERSTON thereupon observed that he was as anxious as Mr. Horsman that the question of the national defences should be settled, and as they were both of the same mind on this matter, he trusted that the order of the day might be allowed to proceed. The important question of the Indian army once settled, no time would be lost in bringing forward that of the defences of the kingdom. The adjourned debate on the Indian Army Bill was then resumed by Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR, who complained that the object of the Secretary for India seemed to be the possession of absolute power. It ought to be the endeavour of the House to limit that power. With this view he supported the instruction of Mr. M. Milnes. Colonel S/KES took a similar view as to the impolicy of sting the Secretary for India with such exorbitant powers. He pointed out the immense advantages which had already resulted from the possession of a local Indian army, well acquainted with the habits, the prejudices, and the supersti tions of the natives. Sir C. Woon said that the appointments to the Indian army were not altered by the present bill. With very few excep tions, the instructions would preclude the appointment to the Indian service of officers of experience who happened to be in England at any critical juncture. Mr. Bras urged the withdrawal of the various amendments, that the House might at once proceed with the committee on the bill. After some observations from Sir E . Colebrook, the motion was negatived without a division. Sir J. FERGUSON then moved that, in the opinion of this House, it is inexpedient to proceed further with legislation re specting the European troops in India until the whole plan of the Government for the regulation of the military force of that country skull have been submitted to the consideration of Par liament. He objected to the proposal of the Government that it was a gigantic scheme of centralisation, under which neither the civil nor the military service of India could be adequately carried on. That scheme had never been submitted to the Indian Council, though it had been submitted to the Cabinet; and he protested against this slight on men who had held such hivh offices, and were so well acquainted with the true policy of India. The amendment having been seconded by Mr. T. Baring, it was put by the Speaker. Sir J. Elphinstone rose to sneak; but the Speaker decided that he was too late. The Howe then divided, when the amendment was negatived by 88 to 50. Sir J. ELPKINSTONE moved the adjournment of the House, for the purpose of explaining a previous debate, and repeated his objections to the course of the Government as most improper and unconstitutional. The motion for adjournment was seconded by Sir E. Cat brooke. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY told the Secretary of State for India that he had made a great mistake in not consulting his council, and vehemently opposed the bill as unsettling everything, and . settling nothing. He pointed out the enormous expense which world be incurred by the proposed change, especially in the transpoit of the regiments. The mode of carrying out the amalgamation of two armies conducted on dieferent prin2iples had never been explained, and no one as yet had ever attempted to explain it. Lord PALMERSTON rose to speak on the question, which was that of the adjournment. He put it to the House, whether they were not striking at the root of constitutional govern ment when the decision of the majority was not allowed to prevail. In countries not accustomed to constitutions minori ties aid force. The present minority acted u 1 on a similar principle, though differently carried out. He appealed to the country as to the propriety of this course, and declared that he should resist, as long as health and strength permitted, what he must gall a factious opposition. • Sir J. ELPHINSTONE withdrew his motion. Mr. Maums, disclaiming all factious apposition, objected cu constitutional grounds to the measure, because it had been introduced by the minister without taking the advice of hi* council, and against their unanimous opinion. The rights of the council, as created by the act of 1858, were ignored, and the council itself practically abrogated, by the proceeding of the Secretary of State. The discus ion was continued by Lord C. Hamilton, Ccilonek Sykes, Mr. Vanstittart. and Col. Dunne. After some explanations from Sir C. Wood, in reply to, various points raised during the previous discussion, followed by some further observations by Colonel P. Herbert, Mr. Pa,r. ker and Mr. Torrens, the house went into committee on the bi'l. :tit*. HENLEY moved the following proviso. Provided that the provis ons made for the sons of persons who have served in India, and the advantages as to pay, pension, allowances, privileges, promotion and otherwise secured to the military forces of the East India Company, by the Act of the 21st ansl 22nd years of the Queen, Cap. 106, Sec. 35, 58, and 58 respea, tively shall continue and be maintained in any plan for the , r eorganisation of the Indian Army, anything in this Act con, tarred notwithstanding. Sir C. Woo observed that all the pledges already given to any class of persons, on account of the Indian, army establish ments, would be faithfully kept. As placing that determina tion on record, he assented to the intervention of the proposed, proviso. The bill was then pased through committee. Lord PALMERSTON stated, in reply to questions, that he intended to move the third reading of the bill on Thursday; and if no very protracted debate arose, to take the Fortifica tion Bill afterwards. The Senior Member of Council (India) Bill, the Superannua tion Act (1859) Amendment Bill, and the Admiralty Jurisdiction (India) Bill, were pectively read a third time and passed. In committee of the whole House, a resolution was agreed to, preliminary to the introduction of a bill respecting the transfer of East India stocks. The Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was considered as amended, and ordered to stand for third reading. The other orders of the d.s.y were disposed and the House adjourned at ten minutes past two.
