MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1859 , --♦-- THE DAY'S NEWS At an early sitting of the House of Commons - on SaturdaY, the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressed an opinion in answer to a question asked him, that it was unlikely the Indian Loan Bill would be brought forward for a second reading this session. The Con solidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill passed a second reading, after Sir H. Willoughby calling attention to the fact that the funded debt had increased by nearly eight millions sterling during the year,. and asking the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any alteration in the law in conformity with the recom mendations of the Select Committee on public-houses was contemplated next sessien, to which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer replied that he could not pledge himself to any definite scheme, but he thought that some alteration in the management ofpublic monies was necessary, and he would give the subject careful attention. A large number of bills passed a third reading, and the house adjourned. We are in receipt of later news from the United' States by the arrival of the Canada at this port. The slavery question was being agitated, and it was stated that a new law would be introduced in the next Session of Congress, repealing the death penalty for taking part in the African slave trade. Mexico is still in a state of civil war, and there appears to be no symptoms of that country enjoying peace and tranquillity. Advices from Venezuela to the Bth ult. announce that the insurgents have rejected an amnesty, and that the negroes are also in revolt. Business was stagnant. General Paei has arrived at Philadelphia. Havana dates are to the 19th - ult. Beides the commercial intelligence there is nothing of interest. ,We are advised from the Continent that the " re-assuring" note in the Paris Moniteur has not produced all the effects intended by it. In the note, the' "nevertheless" which begins the second paragraph checked the rising, joy caused by the first; and the retaining at the Camp of Chalons the divisions of infantry and cavalry, which are placed under the command of General Schramm, and those composing the Camp of Helfaut, which are under General Maissiat, acted as a complete damper. The Govern- ment, so far as its views are communicated through the Monitenr, is rather unfortunate, as when it may be most sincere it is less credited by the public. What it failed to do on Wednesday will, it appears, be tried again. It is reported that another note will soon appear in the Moniteur, , positively declaring that the great Powers will be invited to meet and settle amicably all existing difficulties, and that France will henceforth apply herself to the cultivation of the arts of peace. This means that the policy hitherto followed in Italy, has raised up so many complications, that it is not easy to get over them without the assistance of England, which will nrn- bably serve as a sort of bridge for the purpose. 1. — The news of the dissolution of the French Army of Observation has produced a very favourable effect in Berlin. Prussia will at, once countermand the concentration of troops on the Rhine. The state of Italy continues very unsettled. Ac counts from Bologna state that Prince Napoleon's corps is to be marched there ; and, by degrees, to assume the position which the Austrians held. Count de Morny has assured certain capitalists, on the Em peror's authority, " that peace will be permanent." The Opinione, of Turin, announces that about 50,000 French troops _provisionally remain iu Italy, owing to the precarious state of some of 'the provinces. They are to be stationed at Pavia, Milan, Casal Maggiore,. and Piacenza. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says that he has been requested to state that there is no truth in the assertion made by a Belgian paper con cerning a renorted interview between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Sardinia, adding,—" Those Sovereigns have never met, nor held any communi eation'Whater, nor has King Victor Eininanuel any intention of doing 47. The peace has been made by France and S trtlinia, whilst gratefully acknow ledging fit,: sacrifices made for her and Italy, sub scrihNkt to the will of the Emperor Napoleon, nothing more." News from Florence announces the demolition of the Belvidere citadel, from - which the late Grand Duke meant to bombard the city. This act is deciive as to his chance of return. Garibaldi is daily expected in Paris, according to La Patric. It is added by La Presse that, although in ill health, he will'appear in Tuscany at the head of 13,000 men, mostly the regiments of "Alpine hunters" He has get leave of absence from the service of King Victor Emmanuel." COL Cipriani, aide-de-camp of Napoleon 111., has been for some weeks past on a confidential tour through the Romagna, and the state of public feeling in that territory can be no secret to the Emperor. " Since the period," says a Paris correspondent, " when ithe son . of Hortense fought his first battle against the e rabineers of Leo XII. a t F or li, and saw his elder brother atm d own by his side, nothing- has occurred Constant tical i tate of th for Naples Ince of no very I great indiffe begin to al)!

The French =roving commissioner, M. •De Reizet, who is gone off on a wild-goose mission to put salt on the tail of Central Italy, and-get the bird back into its cage, has been snubbed by the King's minister Dabormida, at Turin, and by the King. o wit s to ti and considered bi s as a th( .ngs of the dawn of a new era and. the Neapolita' as at last "frankly and even with a deal of good government.

The humanity and gene rosity of this country and Great Britain should be glad' to unite in some feasible reform to prevent this reign of cruelty and violence." Such sentiments do honour to the press of our Transatlantic friends. We annex a statement of what are called " minor zatior. Oxuberance of ment develop( and to spread a dissatisfaction- with things as they are, and may be the prelude to 3ressimi it has in- d sometimes to interfere with the material hap- s of individuals ; to resort sometimes to penal es, and even to the guillotine, Nay, some- times it has to plant artillery, and to shower bomb- - shells, in order to overawe a disaffected city. But these are necessities thrust upon it, which it does not court and 'in which it merely 'imitates thy' severe justice. of the law. This being the plea of all des potisms, Louis NAPOLEON'S among the others, what ?ge in excuse Tor her conduct in else does Augtria al festoes not a week old ? If w can poin to the massacre of Perugia we can also. point to the coup -is. If we can point to the legal out l'etat at Pa - - rage on the celebrated proteges of Miss White, we can also point to the prosecution of Montelambert II we can point to Austrian dungeons, we can also point to Lambessa, and Cayenne, Now what is the use of all this unpleasant remi niscence ? Simply to prove that Louis Napoleon is involved in despotic traditions and necessities, and is unable to extricate himself from them,—that he cannot therefore inaugurate, or help to inaugurate, that new state of things for which England sighs, for which Italy implores and weeps, for the hope of which alone England can enter this Congress, with a steady step or an unfaltering purpose. Unless as a sworn enemy to the political system of the Papacy, unless as a consolidator of Italian Liberty, unless as a foe of despotic precedents, pleas of necessity, and subtleties of hereditary-right over lately conquered nationalities ; unless as advo : 4 cate of a principle whi c h i s as repugnant to French as it is to Austrian—as it is to Papal, Imperial notions, England can fulfil no part at this Congress adequate to the moral influence which is her due, or to the dignity of the mission which devolves upon her among nations, She will be outwitted by diplomacy. She 11 be trapped into an ignominious compromise, and strengthen the questionable reputation she already bears from keeping bad company. She will have nothing but a principle and *a sentiment to oppose to the compacted system and, the united interest of France, Austria, and the Pope ; and we more than fear she will find her new hopes premature, and that the evil confederacy cannot yet be broken. WE were rejoiced to find the honourable member _ Ivitya unION 1111LNES, drawing the attention of the Government tau subject which has in this matter. The " Bodmin Scandal," as it has come to be called, did not .obtain that stern regard from the House of Commons on Friday night which the previous debate might have led one to expect. The member whose return had been petitioned against, on charges of 'corrupt practices, appeared in his plaCe, and explained that, not wishing to ruin himself and those dependent upon him, he had intended from the first to resign his seat, rather than defend it, and this explanation appears to have been satisfactory. We cannot, however, agree with any such opinion. Dr. Michell's inability to bear the expense of such a defence does not alter the case one whit. If he was guilty of the charges brought - against him, he deserved - not only to lose his seat, but to suffer any othdr . penaltr consequent upon his guilt. The corrupting agents, and the corrupt electors atso, if there were. any such, ought not. to escape in this way. •The principle, it Tis evident, on' which a member thus charged can run away from the accusation, by accepting, the Chiltern Hundreds, is a very mischievous one, since its practical effect is, most decidedly, to defeat the ends of justice. As it happens, Dr. Michell has apparently been an ill-used - 'man. HO protests that the petition was founded in falsehood ;• in which case, however, the petitioners themselves ought certainly to be these outrages had in a special manner I punished..' The Committee of the House of Lords on Churph-rates has not been able, it seems, to prepare a satisfactory report, and has therefore been obliged to report the evidence only accompanied by a recoMmendation that it should be re-ap pointed next year. That a difficulty should be in the way, is not to be wondered at. The evidence received is, no doubt, of a very conflicting nature as respects the working of the church-rate system of late years, but this is to be attri buted not to the system itself so much as to the very improper manner in which it has been too generally carried out. The law of the land is,—that the fabrics of the national church, and much appertaining thereto, should' be maintained by a rate upon the parishioners. That is the prinCiple. And, its object is one so indispensably necessary, if a national church is to be maintained, that no committee of parliament, we humbly think, with any regard' to what is right and consistent in such a case, can ever report against that principle, unless indeed it be decided, at the same time, that all,idea of sustaining a national church in this country is henceforth to be ignored. Let us hope, however, that the committee will be re-appointed next year; and that the subject will then have a fuller and fairer consideration than i r perhaps has yet been bestowed upon it. 1 1 The subject of Endowed Schools is likely to be taken up by the Government, judging from what fell from the Lord Chancellor in the House of Lords on Friday night, in answer to Lord Cranworth. Mr. Dillwyn's bill in the House of Commons, which he has deserted for the present, has directed attention to the subject; and certainly it is most desirable that any doubt should be removed as to the rights which are claimed on behalf of dissenters to par ticipate in the direction of such schools. Whenever .they are schools free from all obligation to impart an education upon the principles of the Church of England, of , course the children of Dissenters ought to be considered as admissible to them as those of Churchmen themselVes : whilst there can be no just reason why Dissenters should be excluded from their boards of trust or management. But if they are schools which Churchmen endowed for the purpose of imparting a Church education, it can never be just to ." defeat that object by accommodating the education they are to give to the prejudices of Dissent. long required it, and which the voice of humanity has often called out against- -we mean the cruelty to merchant seamen, cases of which are so frequently brought under the notice of our local Police-court. The punishment following such offences committed on the high seas, should be swift, certain, just, and Durse of the attracted the attention of the inhabitants of Liverpool, which was the great entrepot of that traffic"—that is, between the United States of America and England. The law has reached the cruelties committed on board our own vessels ; and the severe, yet just, examples which have followed these acts of ferocity and savage barbarism have not been without their effect,—not- withstanding the "undue sympathy which was manifested upon the execution of the criminal, HENRY ROGERS, who, with his two 'mates, atrocious and diabolical cruelties towards an unhappy ,racted, lingering, and painful death. The retribution of the law has checked on board of English ships the commission of such cruelties, from the expectation of escape and impunity. Suppose a " skipper " leaving any distant port of our own Antipodes, inflamed with liquor and bordering on " ddiriutri tremens; ," takes a dislike to, or to use a nautical idiom, has a down " upon some unfortunate seaman, perhaps because he is not so smart as he desires, or because he is " metho- section of condign punishment which awaits him if lie in dulges the atrocities which his maddened brain and passions incite him to,—well aware that, although thousands of miles from home, on his _return certain retribution awaits him. The vigilance, the justice, and the firmness of our magistracy in impartially administering the law, if it has not altogether put a stop to cruelties committed on the high seas, 'yet hai greatly aided in preserving our seamen from the xposure to those inhuman acts to which they were subject previous to the exercise of the strong arm of EVANB'B, UPPER DAWSON-STREET.—We understand'that operatic last few popularity and y w c e f a& are s not Gra surprised a the at c the law in their 'behalf.

Or whose side is she to espouse case of the dispute which may have required her assistance? It will be as difficult to preserve an impartiality among the various interests claiming to be heard at the Congress, as to become the special advocate of an ally. On the one side are the POPE and Austria ; on the other Italy,—can we add, France ? But the difficulty there is to define the exact - part which France is to discharge, consti tutes the perplexity of the situation. The despotism of Austria, and of the POPE, is a — fixed traditiOn, which leaves no doubt as to the position they must occupy in any conference on the unsettled rights of nations. The hopes of Italy occupy too important a place in the history• of forty years, and were too plainly inscribed on the banner of Louis NAPOLEON three months ago, to need any explanation the character which Louis NAPOLEON has assumed ;y are so incon becond Empire, and the difficulties he has already met with have compelled 1 him to disappoint' so much, and so abruptly, the strange hopes he had encouraged, that we V know neither what he will nor wl it he can do Englishmen must, above all men, most poignantly - - regret that the recent crisis seemed so near, and yet failed to bre . ak the power of that Continent which real progress in Europe. Could England have placed sufficient re lance upon the character or th€ present position of NAPOLEON t THIRD, as to accept his pre ended inauguration of a new era, the cost of an Italian war, heavy though it might have beer would have been a cheap price to pay for its attain ment. France and England would have taken up that joint advocacy of a noble cause, which nature and history have pointed out to them, and the confederate despotisms of Europe been fronted at all points of the Continent, at every turning of di aacy, wi opposition, which would have defeated every ma- nceuvre, and deprived tyrann cupatior The very obstacle, wl of itg world- ich in the first in- stance prevented such an alliance, now chequers; if it does not destroy, the hopes which can , alone en courage England to enter the Congr What can a free country do for the cause of nationality in concert with a power which has taken its place, and s daily to establish it, in the fatal espionage of that' system under which freedom is powerless, except to hope and to aspire, and gives sign of a lingering life only by a feeble cry o: a stifled to LOUIS NAPOLEON, or it may not The use of religion as an instrument of that despotism may be an unwilling expedient, or it may not. But seeing that it is a necessity, nothing follows more surely than the necessity that he cannot be the liberator of Italy—that he cannot be the curber of Papal oppres sion. What characteristic of absolute government and the attendant evils, is absent from the rule of LOUIS NAPOLEON There is no occasion to charge him with the vulgar vices of ancient tyrannies They have no place in modern Europe The progress of civilisatign has, at least, effected that much, eve: among the most wedded to old-world systems. do not expect, for instance, to hear of a modern tyrant laying, at sunrise, a contribution upon a whole vil lage, and burning it up, hearth and homestead, unless it were paid before sunset. We do not hear of a powerful vassal's patrimony being forfeited by sovereign rapacity, and the unlucky proprietor him self strung up twenty feet before his own door. Nay, we think it wholly out of the range of modern ideas, that a tyrant in his need should summon to his presence " a dog of a Jew," and by a process of arbitrary arithmetic, assess his teeth at forty marks a piece. The oppression of a nineteenth century despot is consistent with a strong approciation a public law and of private rights, cruelties taken from the reports of our local hos- June 1857 to , June 1858 there were no less than 135 sufferers ; while from June to January 1859 the number has been 80. In • the workhouse, from June :1858, tor March, 1859,-no:less than 23 were admitted. The report of the Society of Friends! of Foreigners in Distress corroborates the foregoing statement. A pamphlet was addressed by a gentleman of Liverpool BitIGHT) on the subject, to the Honourable member for Bedford, Mr. NVIIITBREAD, but from the circumstance of his : having taken office under the present Government, he could not undertake matters out of his own departmental jurisdiction. We hope that the inhabitants and merchants of this town will giire their best efforts and talents to adjust the pre- outtLe ut me law. This is 110 party question, but one which the voice of our common huManity. summons us to accomplish. -=-~-- NOTES :O.F THE DAY The incidental and brief discussion on the subject of the Shipping Interest, which arose in the House of Commons on Friday night, upon the question asked by Mr. Lindsay, respecting the recommendations of the late Select - Com mittee, has thrown some little light, perhaps, upon the intentions of the Government. - Mr. Lindsay's object was to ascertain, if, in conformity with those recommendations, any measures were, to be adopted to relieve shipowners from thepayment of light dues, passing tolls, and local charges, and generally to remove the burdens and restrictions which so grievously fetter maritime enterprise. The reply of the President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Milner Gibson) was not without encouragement to that important interest. It is intended, he said, to deal with the questions of the, pass ing tolls and light dues ; though it is evident that there are difficulties in the way, which a Liberal Government, wedded miOterably to the free trade policy, may not care to• overcome. It is quite true, as was observed, that these are questions not to be approached in an arbitrary or summary manner, on account of local circumstances; and we are inclined to believe, with Mr. Gibson, that " any meisure to be successful must be of a flexible character, so as to be capable of being applied with due regard to municipal and other local rights." Such a measure, it is proinised, shall have the consideration of the Government during the recess, with a view to its introduction next session. Let us hope that the President of the Board of Trade will see that faith is kept wfth the Shipping Interest AUMIST'.:IB:.:IBS9 THE LATEST NEWS. THE ZURICH CONFERENCE, ZURICH, Sunday, August 7.

A NAVAL RESERVE The Admiralty measure brought forward last night, for forming a naval•reserve of 30,000 men, meets with general approval. The _Daily Hews shows the necessity of such a reserve. At the present moment the number of French seamen actually afloat or in barracks, ready at; once to be put on board ship, is 25,600, while 15,000 additional could be procured in a fortnight, making a grand total of upwards of 40,000. In two months from the firing of the first gun, France could command the services of 72,000 seamen, every one of whom has previously served for a series of years on board a vessel of war. On the other hand, while we have now afloat in every sea but 34,400 seamen, the men who should form our reserve, are scattered over the whole globe, and can only be got toglther after a long delay and a,t, great expenditure. In the proposed naval reserve a .30,000 ~volunteers, eitob, man is to be enrolled for Ate year, INTI The s N 412 4an Si t j ~_ - 1 ti le ' of ti MOSt 1144, 'ant Oil AN .Ond Voffie he bil 9ov bi: tli e — 'ase R „., Ineml Put d own t hey did Mr• Clive 4nd deter This b This bi This bi Xpiscop.i This bi kr BA t ill • the S NouTx v This bi At This bi --,(onday.
