Ronald CSon's Circular) The third series of sales for the year opened this evening with our catalogue of 1,788 bales East India and 1,593 bales other low Wools. The attendance of home buyers was very good, but there was not the usual number from the Conti nent, as many of them are, 'no doubt, attending either ,the fairs in Ctermany or the public sale held to-day at Antwerp:. The East India were com peted for with considerable spirit, and we consider prices on the average about the same . as in April last. The other Wools, being of a miscellaneous character, did not command the same attention, and were consequently to some extent withdrawn. gates of Ifuigtf. There is still a brisk demand for tonnage for the East, which is improved by the requirements of the Indian Council for transports to convey troops to India, a further reinforcement is also to be sent to China, which will give employment to several vessels. A contract for delivery of 3,000 tons of coals at Bombay has just been taken, for which 30s per ton freight is offered from Liver pool, and 32s from Cardiff. The homeward freights by the last accounts from India were high, and shipments large, but merchants here are still reluctant to charter vessels now going out except at our quotations. Vessels are still required for the 20,000 tons of coals to be deli vered at Hong Kong. Freights to United States ports continue to decline, and the rates named are scarcely obtainable.

In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day the Funds were firmer, and a recovery of k per cent. took place, but little business was done.

Next Account The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : 93 3-16 5-16 par 4 pm 227 31 92: 3 In consequence of the loss of the Malabar, the ship ments of silver to China by the next mail are expected to be unusually heavy. The appearance of the continental exchanges has become rather less favourable. The new .5 per cent. Sardinian Loan is expected to be offered at Turin for public subscription, about the beginning of July, at 80. The committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Tuesday the 3rd of July a special settling day in the shares of the Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company, which are to be quoted in the official list.

Stock loanßonar, o f andlBs9, C Co., the an g s w a e r e agents th explain the grounds upon which they informedtheh E xc hange last year that the whole of that loan had been , placed. The s e g rounds were, first ly , an official u ' tion in the St . Petersbur g Gazette, and, secondly, alieteter addressed to Me ssrs. Thom p son, Bonar, an d Co. byt the a Russian Minister of Finance. The commi ttee com mu nicated again with Messrs. Thompson, Bonar, an d Co. yesterday afternoon, requesting to be furnished with copies of the document referred to. The recognition by the Stock Exchange of any fresh Russian securities is contingent upon the adherence of the Government to a course of perfect good faith. The funds opened without animation this morning, and showed increased heaviness towards the close. There was no particular reason for the movement, but each day seems to add to the latent distrust with regard to the condition of polities in every quarter. The escapades of General Harney attract some attention, but the feeling respecting them is chiefly one of regret. The demand for money consequent upon the and of the half-year, continues to lead to sales of Exchequer bills, and during the morning they touched 2s. discount; afterwards there was a partial recovery, the la st p rice being par to 3s. premium. The pressure for money w as not quite so severe as yesterday, although very active . Exceptional cases still occur where amounts are nego tiated at 3i.

The recent advices from America include several details of considerable interest. The Washington correspendcnt of the Neu , York Herald states that General Harney has been ordered to report himself to the Secretary of War, or in other words that he has been recalled from his command on the Pacific coast of the United States. If this statement be correct, it removes the apprehensions entertained that a collision may be provoked by General Harney at San Juan, and shows that the Washington Cabinet disapproves the irritating and offensive course which he has seemed determined to pursue towards the British authorities, not withstanding the c onciliatory instructions of General Scott. The new tariff has been rejected by the Senate ; and there is another item which politicians of the Bright school would do well to ponder, as showing the corruption which pervades the whole Republican system in the United States :—The House of Representatives has passed, by_great majorities, the resolutions recommended :by the .gominittee appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the navy depart ment. These resolutions declare that the Secre, Mary. of tli;itavy, with the sanction of the Presa:: dent, abused hiS discretionary power respecting: . coal - Contracts; thatte.distribution of the patron s the - havy among members of Congress is. Injurious to the service; and that the Pre sident and the Secretary of the Navy, for consi dering the party connections of tenderers and the effects ..oLawarding . 00ntracts cleserve,the reprobation,of the House. A 'letter from Genoa, of the 25th, says I think you may like to know that a steamer, of 800 tons and 300 horse-power, which . arrivedsthis .morning at Genoa, has been sold to Garibaldi for 460,000 fr. It belongs to a French company, and is called the Provence, a screw. This is the fourth steamer bought by Garibaldi. The others are the Amsterdam, Helvetic, and Belzunee, besides two tugs." A letter in the Opinion Nationale says that a Sergeant Valentino, sent from Naples to assassinate Garibaldi, was fortunately recognised at Palermo, and - that he escaped from vengeanCe by jumping into the sea and swimming to the Neapolitan frigate Parthenope. The Gazette de France ; - which- is an authority on such points; 'asserts in a communication frci:n Turin, June 24th, that the territory still retained by Austria on the south bank of the Po, and which counts 70,000 souls, is about to become an independent sovereignty and formed into a separate State, under the sceptre of the ex-Duke of Modena, who will thus reign on ground con terminous with his late duchy. ,‘ The Siècle had recently a long article, to prove that it is against canon law for the. Pope to con tract a loan, and' many of the . Fathers have denounced the - lending or borrowing of money on . • mteresi. ;v - rs r nv , rp AAA; The Spanish Minister of Marine has stated to the Cortes that the practical utility of iron plated ships had not been sufficiently demon strated to render outlay for such things advisable. It, is stated that if the Great Eastern continued to make as good a run as she had done, when last spoken, she would arrive at New York on Wed nesday—a few hours over ten days. The Earl of Shaftesbury, in a speech at Sher borne, alluded to the review of Saturday, and said the Ambassador of France candidly avowed that he had never witnessed such a spectacle in his life. Lord Shaftesbury said to him, "It is no threat to your imperial master ; we are not menacing ; our men stand here in defence of that which is our own." The Secretary 'of War has issued _a circular to the lord-lieutenants of counties, expressive of the high gratification with which her Majesty's Government have witnessed the rapid success of the volunteer movement, and the degree of effi ciency to which the corps •present at the late review have attained. The Prince of Waled, on Wednesday, laid the foundation stone of the Lambeth School of Art, the first ceremony of the kind iu which his Royal Highness has taken part. Considering the participation of the young Prince in the scene, the popular 'character of the institution about to be erected, and the fact, that the site chosen for it is Vauxhall Gardens, the proceedings could not fail to be of an interesting chaiacter. A great crowd of course assembled, and the spectacle was one of considerable gaiety. After an address had been read to his Royal Highness, he delivered a graceful reply, and then laid the foundation stone._ Meetings have been held in various parts of the country to consider the high price of provisions, which is popularly ascribed to a combination be tween the butchers and graziers. At Stockport a resolution was passed to abstain from the con sumption of flesh meat " till family cuts are 4d, and prime cuts are 6d a poUnd !" • - On Wednesday, information was received at the chief Police-station, Scotland-yard, London, that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, who had just arrived on a visit to her Majesty, had been plundered of a case of costly jewels, set with diamonds_ of the most valuable description. On reaching Buckingham Palace the jewel case was discovered to be missing. The articles abstracted, independent of their intrinsic worth, said to .exceed X 3,000, are invaluable as family relics and presents from dear friends, and the duchess is consequently in great trouble at their loss. Her Majesty will be present at .the first prize meeting of the National Rifle Association, which takes place on Wimbledon Common on Monday next. Her Majesty has offered a prize of £250 - for the best rifle shot amongst volunteers, and it is a sine qua nun that all volunteers intending to com pete must appear in the uniform of their respec tive corps. The Prince Consort offers a prize of £lOO open to all comers, and it is expected that a considerable number of foreigners will enter the lists as competitors. TIE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE Ac i i;= ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. To the successful development and practical application of SCIENCE we owe much of our national prosperity and pre-eminence. Strange to say, however, as a nation, we are proverbially indifferent, neglectful, and unjust towards the claims of scientific men on our gratitude : for, while other less favoured nations have devoted large funds to the advancement of Science, and heaped wealth and the highest state honours upon its successful cultivators, England, to her shame, has, for the most part, 'treated them with the most cruel disregard, and continues to mani fest her reluctance to own, and to discharge the heavy obligation she owes to them. What do we owe to Science ? Who is able to grasp the whole subject, and reduce it to anything like a definite statement ? • Its vastness consti tutes the difficulty. Let us turn -for a moment towards A GRICULTURE, that great s! a?le Interest—the solid basis of our material pros perity, —must it not have succumbed under, in place of surmounting, all those diffi culties with which it has had to struggle, more especially since the commencement of the great experiment in free.trade in corn and other agri cultural products, had it been left without the aids afforded by all-conquering Seience: — Do not our Agricultural Exhibitions range forth to view numberless means and appliances, —owing their origin to the very remarkable progress which has recently been made in all departments of Science, and illustrating the advantages of an intimate knowledge of the nature and relations of various soils,—the benefit of obtaining a correct analysis of all sorts of manures and crops, --the superiority of drainage on scientific prin ciples,—and the most effective applications of mechanical power in all fhrming operations ? Could anything more satisfactorily prove the directly beneficial action of abstract Science on the everyday pursuits of agriculture ? And is not COMMERCE—that other great division Of our national interests—also under a heavy debt t o Science ? Has it not taught us that knowl ed g e of the laws — Of natur e , which gives .- us dominion over the elements, and enables us to apply those powers so as to extend almost indefinitely the area of our manufactures, and thus advance th e we ll-being of Commerce ? Has is not taught as how to triumph over the inertia of matter, and to with stand the fury of the elements in a thousand ways? In proportion to the increased facility and rapidity of exchange and transit of gooils, of men, and, of thought, has not Commerce expanded ? EVery application of pure mathe matics and astronomy to practical navigation— every observation by such instruments as Science :has perfected for the purpose,of making voyages safer, and for giving the mariner fore-knowledge of storms, and teaching their courses and , lines of . intensity—have not :these each been an important condition in_ enabling our commerce to reach and maintain its present proud position ? Not less, in a SANITARY point of view, do we ..owe,the.,mostikrious.obligations to Science. Who shall estimate the value of recent scientific im provements in SeWage, Ventilation, and Dietetics ? The comforts of the masses have been multiplied, and the value of life heightened in all classes of society ; while the benefits we enjoy every day from the inventions and practical applications of gas, steam, photography, telegraphy, and others are but little thought of, because now so common. Then, again, besides these more direct benefits, did space permit, we might enumerate a long list of indirect, but still most valuable results which we have reaped from the progress of Science. , What could be more cheering than our future prospects in connection with the triumphs of Science,. if we will only pursue it p#iently and perseveringly and support it nationally ? When . we reflect, at hoW late and in how brief a period of historical time, the -acquisition of so much advantage from scientific knowledge has been achieved, we must feel that vast as it seems, it may be,—shall we say must be, but a very small part of the patrimony of truth designed for our own and for future generatidns. In the few centuries . y,hich have elapsed since BACON lived and wrote,' not withstanding many difficulties and discourage;. ments, Science has gained victories so numerous and invaluable, so magnificent and dazzling, that it would be. altogether vain to set any limits what ever to the future rewards which may attend its experiment, conducted in conformity with the admirable rules of research which that gifted philosopher laid down. What additional inducenient, then, do we need to lead us to acknowledge our everlasting obli gations to Science ? Yes ; there is yet one other important consideration namely, the fearful penalty we must pay if we neglect her calls—for hers is the voice of nature, and is not to be denied her rights without inflicting terrible retri bution. The rapid opening up of nimy new sources of supply in various parts of thelkorld, the pro gress of other nations in knowlege, freedom, and enterprise, and the progressive modification of our own la ws and institutions at home, form so many powerful causes operating to set up and inten sify in other nations such an extraordinary degree of competition with us in trade _and, manufactures, as must call forth all our energies and resources, to enable us to maintain our foremost rank in the grand race of civilisation. For instance, Science tells us that our agricultural interest pays a very high penalty for its inatten tion to chemical science ; inasmuch as, at enor mous cost, we send to the antipodes for those fertilising elements which we are wasting at home, by running them into our rivers, to pollute their beds, and to the great detri ment of health on their banks. Again ; Science tells us that the vast annual sacri fice we make, in the shape of " accidents," in mines and on railways, by shipwrecks and con flagrations, and the suffering we undergo from the breach of sanitary and dietary laws, produc ing disease and death in every form, are not strictly " accidents," but inevitable results of our ignorance or neglect of the known laws of nature This view should come home to the inhabitants of this great town and district, when it is stated that the penalty we pay in this respect, namely the annual waste of life and sacrifice of health, when reduced to £ s. d., under the heads of sick ness, funerals, and labour lost is represented by a grand total; for England and Wales, of little less than £15,000,000, and of this enormous sum Lancashire is said to lose upwards of £4,000,000, or considerably more than one-fourth of the total for the whole country. One other illustration and we have done. We refer, in a word, to the painful case of Dr. SMETHURST, which about this time last year occupied so much public attention, and proved so signally how lamentably deficient we still are in scientific knowledge. Now, whether that remarkable man was guilty or innocent—whether he was an adept in science or merely a victim to our ignorance of it—we have in either view a strong additional incentive to pursue scientific investigation and experiment until we shall at least be able to say that such a disgraceful exhi bition of ignorance and its lamentable results shall never occur again. The good we have derived from Science has been almost in spite of ourselves ; and while reaping the fruits, benefiting by the discoveries and inventions, and growing great by the efforts of its genius, we have been tco intent on reap ing for ourselves the golden harvest, to share any of it with those by the sweat of whose min4s, e have achieved our triumphs. How painful is the contrast between our treatment of men of Science and men of war respectively. On the one hand we have gloated with intensest interest over minutest details of gory battle fields, and when the fight was o'er, have raised the successful warrior to wealth and dignity : while on the other, we have disowned all interest in the un written story of those unpatronised struggles of the poor sons of Science, endured in the study and exposition of truths whose practical res ul t s have made them the great benefactors of o ur race, and we have left them too often to pine in want and die in obscure misery. What reward could have repaid the obligation we owe to the immortal WATT? yet he was entirely d isre g arded while i n life; and when it was subsequently, proposed to pay a small national tribute to his memory the Prime Minister of England of that day, was not ashamed to declare, in his place in Parliament, " that there was no precedent for granting to inte l l ectual merit wha t had been military and naval services, and that ent might be embarrassed by s i m il ar accord.the Government o e v d e r t n o m "claims." Rut we need not multiply instances to prove an admitted truth. Surely this state of things ought not, must not, continue to exist. We only allude to the past to stimulate our still .only half awakened sense of responsibility f or th e future. Let us forthwith, as a nation, put o ur shoulders to the wheel of Science, and we may hope soon to wipe out the stain or having despised abstract Science, the progress of which has been ' the very foundation, as it will be the only guarantee, of our prosperity and predominant influence. In discharging our obligations to Science, we cannot do better than begin by giving all neces sary support and encouragement to the British Association for the .AdTancemcnt of Science, which, it will be observed, has just commenced its thirtieth session at Oxford, under the pre sidency of the Lord WROTIESLEY. This excellent institution has already done much " for the advancement of Science," and needs only adequate means to achieve many more triumphs in the boundless fields of Science. FATA.I—PRIZE FIGHT.—A fatal prize fight between a man named Reid, or Reddie, and another, named M•Lachlan,.by whom Reid was challenged, took place near Erskine Ferry, in Renfrewshire, on Monday. Both the combatants were Irishmen, and resided in Glasgow. Between forty 'and fifty rounds were fought in the pre - sence, it is said, of upwards of twenty persons. The fight lasted an hour and twenty minutes. After the fight Reid was removed to an inn in the vicinity, where ha shortly afterwards died. Four persons connected with the fight have been apps ehended. It is supposed. that the immediate cause of Reid's death was effusion of blood upon the brain, caused by the severe blows which the deceased, had sustained on the head: THE DAIL/ TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1860.

It is blowing hard in the Channel. The Journal des Debuts expresses its surprise at the extravagant manner in which the London journals speak of the late review of Volunteers in Hyde Park, at which not mere than 20,000 men were present The Sic/e declares that the Papal loan of 50,000,000 fr. is contrary to the traditions of the Church and the opinions of the Fathers. Scarcely any Council has been held that has not solemnly excommunicated lenders on interest. The contri bution of Peter's pence must have signally failed among the two hundred millions of Roman Catholics when the Holy Father finds him self obliged to make this further appeal to the faithful. The Moniteur publishes the convention between England and France relative to the division of captures in China. The Molideur also announces that the funeral of Prince Jerome will take place on Tuesday next. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—YEsrmst. The Marquis of Citxatc utnE, pursuant to notice, inquired how far it might be practicable to afford better shelter for shipping upon our coasts than is at present' afforded, by the adoption of some plan for the construction of breakwaters and harbours less costly and better adapted to certain loctlities than the system of solid masonry hitherto in use; and whether any . such plan appears likely to I.e serviceable for the improvement of our national defences. In urging this 'inquiry, t h e noble marquis insisted that, even taking the estimate,of the com missioners, who had computed that £3,000,900w0u1d be re quired for the construction of harbours of refuge, the obj ect to be attained—viz., the saving of life and property ---wel fully worth the whole outlay, but he proceeded to argue that amp'e result' would be secured at much less' expense if the money was judiciously laid out at the proper localitiee and in the proper manner. This be enforced by adverting to the testimony of many professional authorities tending to show that many millions had been eirelessly spent on harbour works at Dover, Holyhead, aad elsewhere, becionfe the sites were badly chosen or the protecting works unscien tifically constructed. A heavy responsibility lay , upon t he , government and the legislation on this point, and he move d the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire int+) the subject. The Duke of SOMERSET remarked that the opinions of various scientific and professional witnesses, who had been invited W give their advice respecting the construction of !Arbours of Refuge were most irreconcilably divergent. the noble marquis Himself seemed to object to almost everything that had been done or attempted. Besides the question of elPe nse ' the subject was entangled with innumerable p lexi ties resPec t : l& ing the practibility or utility of diffi cu lt w o r k th e Oovernm en. fully acknowledged the importance of the subject; but afte r the many inquiries that had been already instituted he saw no practical use in the appointment of the propo:sed co mittee. The Earl of HARDwichE thought that floating: b'reakwaters mignt be cheaply constructed in many localities, and would prove very useful under certain circumstances. This resu lt was at any rate sufficiently probable to justify an inquiry b° select committee, and the institution of a few inexPensi" experiments. Atter a few remarks from the Earl of Bandon, The Earl of DERBY asked when the intention of the Govel s. ment would be announced on the important .question ef t ill national defence. Earl GRANVILLE stated that the announcement would a made in the first instance in the house of Commons, but b e could not at present say when the subject would be brough s forward. Lord BROUGHAM adverted with eulogy to the late gathering of volunteers in Hyde Park, and hoped that similar manifests: tions of defensive force might be repeated at intervals, not only in London, but in various part, of the country. The Earl of Caithness having briefly spoken, the Maril ni l of Clanricarde consented to leave th e ques ti on i n the hands the Government. Earl GRANVILLE observed that no notice had been giv en af . any motion for a committee. If th e mo ti on was renew ed future day, the Government were ready: to agree to the inquiry. This suggestion was adopted, and the subject allowed to drop upon that understanding. Lord 13aouou,or laid on the table a bill providing that &O' dants charged ith criminal offences, not. of a graver charsote r than misdemeanour, should be entitled to claim the privil t -e, already conceded to defendants i n c i v il cases, o f bed" examined upon oath at their trial. The bill, alter a brief discussion, was read a tirst time. The" House then adjourned at five minutes past seven. HOUSE OF aO4MONS.--XE-siosura. Sir it. PEET. gave notice for to-morrow (Friday evening) a li t! on the motion for adjournment until Monday, he should ci' attention to the accounts that had been received respectiMf t h i annexation of Sicily with 'Piedmont, and should ask b et Majesty's ministers whether they could give any infOrmati °ll touching the contingent demand of France founded on ths , l annexation, and whether ,they had themselves transmuted, expression of opinion on the subject, to the • Government Sardinia. On the motion for the second reading of the Europea n Forces India Bill, . . Mr. A. MILLS moved, as an amen d ment. t h at the bill bnuis be read a second time that day, threc.,months. He urr many objections to the proposed changes in the military tem of India, founded upon financial, political, iind - Lsantts" consi :eratious. The existing machine was of anciiiitcollad' i l: tion, and had worked most e ffi c i ent l y, and he .depreeated L ' summary. destruction. The Government had - adopted th en u present measure most precipitately, and with orgy a 0 7,, consultation of the Indi a C ounc il . T hey 'had 'pr4udgad , question, and embarked upon a course which he regarded prejudicial, dangerous, - and even unconstitutional. The amendment was seconded-by Sir C. Colebrook: hit Mr. T. G. Baanto, in s u pp or ti ng t h e b ill, contended + f as the Government of I n di a was now assimilated to. that °f England, organisation of the army ought to undergo s girO lr change. In a military point Of view, the proposed amalsa l° . ; tion was highly beneficial, and he denied the a ll egat i on that' would occasion any infringement of th e rights and.. Privila e, of the existing army in Hindostan. • • .. .4 . Mr. H. astuan complain e d th a t th e G overnmen t w` rg ~ .% asking the House to accept the bill, a lth oug h t h e d eta il s of the new arrangements f u r the Indi a n arm y wire witUbeld supported the amendment. - - - Sir H. VLiTET reluctantly opposed the that * t ' weight of evidence was in favour of retaining" the pr. ° system. ' ' • Sir J. ELPHINSTONE, re;arding the question as one turf ,ol . r rather upon high political consideration, (their i.ssue.beinf ea mere matters of detail,) argued strongly in . favour of ?n ail'. taining the local character of the Indian army. Mr. KlNNAlRDcontended that it would be" practically j ilt ' possible to govern India without a local army:. Mr. VANSITTART said that the India army as a distinct fe e l had been bolstered by a peculiar privilege, and yet Ipid alwaf: been discontented. He believed that 80,000 European soldi e , A would suffice for the proteCtion of India, and f4i . o sse be supplied by regiments' belonging to the general milits r i r syste r, of the empire, and taking their turd of duty in Hindas ° as in any other of the British colonies. For the Sepoy army be thought 120,000 men would be enough, and with the.combia force of 200,000 thus constituted, he thought that simplicity economy, and efficiency might be effectually secured. Sir W. RUSSELL also supported the bill, contending, &moult other reasons, that the discipline of Etiropeau troops becolae i inevitably relaxed in India, and serious demoralisation might be the result if the regiments were not periodically withdra' eu from that part of the world and restored to the healthier atmosphere of home service. Sir MINTO FA.RQUHAR defended the existing syitem, supported the amendment. Colonel HERBERT supported the bill. Mr. BUXTON considered the proposed change in the Itta igu army dangerous and precipitate. Mr. lloasmax accused the Govern men t o f attempting to dodge the Mouse of Commons. No full information, and practical details of this intended scheme were submitted t 9 Parliament, which was required to abdicate its legislative functions and pass a mere abstract resolution, leaving to the Horse Guards the sole duty of carrying out an arrange' ment which, both in its military and its political relattel was of the greatest difficulty and hi g h es t i mportance . proposed change would revolutionise the whole go vern‘ ment of India, would degrade the office of the Indian Viceraf' render the Commander in Chief independent of the Govern;: General, and place the Indian army beyond the control of t' v legislation either as regards its management or its expendittl re , i While so much information was withh e ld and the rest ga rbled respecting the recent conduct and p resen t state o f th e India" „ army, Parliament was totally unable to 'deal iiirsfacte rilY with the question. The measure they were now so presir Lately required to adopt would, he feared, prove the first 0 4 towards accomplishing the prediction *of Lord Metcalf, th at when India was governed by P ar li amentary majorities t "" tenure of India would not be worth ten years' purchase. Mr. S. HERBERT, on behalf of the Government, denied the; charge of withholding or su pp ress i ng i nformation. T he fac t was, that every c h a n ge it was proposed to effect coul d b3Y" , been carried out by the Executive without asking for, any Ve: liatuentary sanction whatever. This, h owever, wa s thoug h ' not to be respectful to the Legislature, and the present bill Rao brought in. It was necessarily a simple and abstract measu re ' enunciating a principle, but lea v i ng _ t h e d eta il s 10 t settled on the spot, and by the official dePartments to Rht cb this branch of the service belonged. On the general questi° l4 he confessed that 1w had experienced much difficulty in lua king up his mind. Thu subject was very complicated.; and t4 c - authorities on either side alynos; evenly balanped; blitt after citing some of these authorities, and recapitniating the chie f easons pro and con., he finally arrived a t a conclus i on faYoural'4 to the proposed amalgamation of th e I n di an army with the Queen's. Mr. Bien moved the adjournment of the debate. (,"-- " Divide.") Lord PALMERSTON - hoped the House would come to a deei' i° that night. Sir H. WlLrouoilay insisted on the - propriety of adjourni”; the debate. The House divided, and the motion for adjourriniellt negatived by a majority of 252 to 83. The motion for adjourning was renewed, and snottier division taken, when the numbers for the adj ournment were-' 51 aeainst 229. Another division was called, after a stormy 'discussion. °: the motion of Mr. Hennessey', was in like manner 4ffe ae by a majority of 180 to 43. The opponents, however, persisting in renewi4W for adjournment, the majority, on the suggestion pf L' F d Zi g Palmerston, gave way, and the ,debate was adjourned to evening. The remainin g business was disposed of, sod. the Somm e adjourned at ten minutes after two. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR TO ADVANCEMENT OF. SCIENCE.. (From our Special : Correspondent ) 0 xinai), - Thursday Evening. Immediately after the despatch of my pareel la t evening, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort arrived by a special train of the Great Western Railway ; but, whether from the inclement state of the weather, or the unexpected visitation, there was but little stir or enthw siasm amongst the people. About half-past four hie Royal Highness, accompanied by the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the University, thq Lord Wrottesley, President of the association, and others of the distinguished sezrans 01 -forq, cntere4 the Sheldonian TkleatFe, where a large concourse of people was assembled to greet them, and to Participate in the proceedings of the first general meeting. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, in virtue of his office of President for the past year, took the chair , and in a brief address reviewed the progress of scienc e under the auspices of the association. The President elect, the Lord Wrottesley, then assume d the duties of his office, and delivered the inaugural address. _________ THE GREAT PYR A3IID AND THE GREAT RAILIFA .I%---.

NAPLES, June 2 4 p. In execution of the orders of the King, the Neapolitan tricolour flag has been hoisted at Fort St. Elmo, and was saluted by the whole artillery of the fort. NAPLES, June 27. On the occasion of the mission of the Com mander De Martino at Paris, no interchange of autograph letters took place between the King of Naples and the Emperor of the French. In order to give a motive for his mission, the Commander De Martino'was instructed to recal that when the cant of the Two Sidilies was, in 1852, the first to recognise the re-establishment of the empire in France, Napoleon 111. declared that he would never forget the friendly step o: the King Of Naples. PAICIS, June 28. Despatches from Naples, dated yesterday, the 27th instant, state that deplorable events had occurred there. The French Ambassador, Baron Brenier, while passing through the Strade di Toledo, where much agitation was prevailing, received several blows on the head from a loaded cane. He fell senseless, and was carried to the palace of the Legation, where he received the necessary attention. Baron.. Brenier having counselled Liberal Reform, the attempt on his life was attributed to the anti-Reform party. It was hoped that his wounds would not prove serious. THE UNITED STATES. SOUTHAMPTON, June 28. The Saxonia, which left New York on the 15th instant, has arrived here. She brings 244 passengers and $300,000 in specie, of which $277,870 are for England, and the remainder for Hamburg. On the 27th, twenty miles south-east' of the Lizard, she spoke- the American ship Rhine, of New York. The news by the Saxonia has been anticipated. OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL. QUEENSTOWN, June 28. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's screw steamer Glasgow arrived here this evening, from Liverpool. She took on board passengers, latest telegrams, &c., and proceeded again for New York. All well. The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The Star gives, apparently from an authoritative source, an account of the proceedings of the Corn-. mons Select Committee. It states that, after sitting till nearly six o'clock yesterday, the com mittee agreed to a report which is certainly not wholly Mr. Bright's, nor is it wholly Mr. Wal pole's. Additions have been made of some portions of what had been prepared by Mr. Bright. The committee has not acted with much spirit in vindication of the privileges of the House of Commons. It has made a simple collec tion of cases without expressing any opinion on the constitutional question. The committee meet again to-day, and the report will probably be laid on the table to-night. The onus of decision and action is thrown upon the Government and the House of Commons. It is probable that on Mon day next Lord Palmerston will give notice of the day on which h 3 will propose to the House to take the report into consideration. The Post has a telegram announcing that the Sultan has just established a council of finance, charged with drawing up the regulations neces sary to good administration, and with arranging the details of the receipts and expenditure of the state. A numerous meeting of the working classes was held on Paddington Green, last night, to consider the question of the present high price of provisions. The meeting was of opinion that the famine prices now being paid were not justified by circumstances, but resulted from a system of monopoly and class legislation. Resolutions to this effect were passed, and the assemblage then peacefully dispersed. The Times, referring to the promise of a Nea politan Constitution, remarks that it comes too late. The King of Naples seeks, like his father, to engage honourable and upright. men to under take the office of his ministers. Does he suppose that they have forgotten the fate which awaited those who accepted a similar office in 1848—the rising of the lazzaroni, the sham trials, the cruel imprisonments, and the long suspension of law and justice, which even yet has not passed away. It is, indeed, too late. ATTEMPT AT SUICI JE BY AN INDIAN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, the House of Lords, which was sitting, in conjunction with the Common Law Judges, to hear appeals, was frighted from its propriety by a sudden yelling. An Indian, who was standing amongst the spectators, was seen to draw out a small Indian knife, which he drew across his throat. The messengers of the House, with the aid of the police, succeeded in rescuing him, when he was taken to Westminster Hospital, and the wound examined by the house surgeon. It did not prove dangerous. MURDER AND SUICIDE.-TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. On Wednesday, a foreigner committed suicidein Hyde -I park, and on his person was found a lette r implying that violence had been done to s ome female, whose name and address, however, were not iihealidicated. Yesterday morn ing, the policcman w h o h the se in hand proceed e d to the house 376, Oxford-street, occupiea by Mr. D e Dola, a ginger -beer s eller, and inquired if' be h ad ' a female lodger in the house.
