Agreeably to general expectation, the Bank Directors, at the rising of their weekly court, announced that in future the minimum Bank rate of discount will be 4 per cent. The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURI TIES to-day continued to be favourably affected, and Consols, which were quoted * per cent. higher in the early period of the morning, have been stimulated to further improvement by the reduction in the rate of discount, and most departments of business exhibit more or less buoyancy. Consols are now at 951 to 4 for money, and 95 to 1 for the June account ; Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2281 and 228 ; Reduced Three per Cents., 931 1 and 1; New Threes, 931 1 and ; India Stock, 2191; India Del;en tares, 961 1 and 1 ; India Bonds, lOs and 7s dis ; and Exchequer Bills, 8s 6s 9s and Ss pm. The Funds closed at the following prices : Console Money Account Exchequer Bills . • • • Bank Stock Three per Cents. Next Account . The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : 227 9 93j I In the absence of further bad news from the Conti nent consols continue to derive great support from the approach of the dividend period, combined with the decline in the value of money. A fresh improvement of i per cent. occurred to-day, assisted by the somewhat more cheerful character of the advices from the Paris Bourse, and the market closed with firmness. The upward movement extended to British and other rail way shares, notwithstanding the dulness of business. The commercial demand for money was slack, and the best bills were discounted at 41 per cent. Very little business was done at the Bank. There is a prospect of the minimum at that establishment being lowered to 4 per cent. within the next eight days.—. Daily News. There has been scarcely any attendance in the city to-day, and the transactions in the various markets have been wholly unimportant. The comparative abun dance of money, the absence of any fresh disturbing news from the continent, and the understanding that there is no prospect of any ministerial crisis, have canned a general improvement in all descriptions of securities. There were no gold transactions at the Bank to-day. From the present appearance of the exchanges any gold arriving from Australia, New York, or elsewhere, will be likely to be taken to the Bank. Under these circumstances a reduction of the rate of discount to 4 per cent. seems to be rather generally expected to-morrow. There were scarcely any applications at the Bank to-day, and the demand in the open market was slight. Although only a moderate business was transacted in the railway market, prices generally showed firmness with a recovery, averaging from 4. to 4per cent.—Times. In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN STOCKS to-day there was little doing, but values in all cases have been well supported, and the tendency is decidedly in the upward direction. Original Turkish Six per Cents. are officially marked 751 and /, and the New Sixes 58! for money, and 521 for account ; Mexican Three per Cents are at 211 and I, Spanish 48i, and Portuguese 45 to The LONDON RAILWAY SHAREILLRKET to-day was very firm in tone, but scarcely any business has been doing. Great Westerns are quoted 68t to 69, London and North Westerns 100* and 101/, Midlands 117, and South Easterns 85/ to 1. Indian and Canada lines remain steady. Thames and Mersey Insurance Shares are 1i to 1 prem. Victoria Debentures are marked 1061 to I, and India Five per Cent. Loan 1061 to I.

THE people of Liverpool have no reason to com plain of the means of locomotion which have been provided to take them in all directions, om home ; but they certainly have no cause to be over and above satisfied with such means for their con venience at home., Now, an age of progress is of necessity an age of locomotion. The world is everywhere on the move,—the world of commerce, of industry, and of enterprise, is especially so. And on the move, not only from one part of the country to another—aud even from one country to another and distant one—but also, and more particularly, from one part of a town and neigh bourhood to another. Slow coaches are quite out of character with such an age,—they belong to past times, and past ways, and have no congruity with the present, whether it be the vehicle itself which is so called, or the man who, by the tardi ness of his movements, has acquired that not inapt designation. Time has come to be estimated as one of the most precious, of commodities in this world; and not a moment of it is to be wasted, even by any dilatoriness in our manner of moving to and fro. The poet has commended it as wise in man to give time a tongue, and said . • " It is the signal that demands despatch." But there are many more such signals, now,-a- - days, than that which " strikes one." The course of active life abounds with them on every hand. In SHAKSPEARE'S day and generation, it could doubtless be truly said—" Time travels in divers paces with divers persons ;" and it were then quite easy to tell " who time ambles withal, who time trots withal, who time gallops withal, and who he stands still withal." But these distinctions have now become almost obsolete. Remember that it is, as we have said, an age of progress. In such an age, men look forward, instead of backward; and not only look forward, but push forward also. It could not be the age it is, were it otherwise. For progress is advance ment•--motion forward. It were utterly in vain, at this time of day, to merely moralise about' it. Men might, in other days, have the leisure to listen to the admonition which bade them reflect, that, " when they strained to their utmost speed, there was still the wonted distance between them and their aims—all their eager pursuits bringing them no acquests." All this, we say, is now too much regarded as belonging to the past ; the present is not allowed to afford the opportunity of waiting to think of it. The common object of every day is pursued with haste ; and every moment must be regulated accordingly. In a word, it is the age of railways—they are at once the great practical exponents, exhibitors, and exciters of progress ; and, to be consistent, one naturally expects to travel about everywhere—at home, as well as abroad—at something like a railway rate. Now this has yet to be done—here in .England at least. Our American cousins, being, to all intents and purposes, a much more go-a-head. sort of people than we are, have already accom plished. it. In almost all their populous towns they can travel by railway, from one distant part of it to another, and from the centre of the town to beyond its out-spreading suburbs. And why should it not be so ? If progress, if despatch, is to be the order of the day, why not in town, as well as in the country—why not from one part of the town to another, as well as from town to town ? If time is so precious —if it is incon venient and unprofitable to lose, that is to waste time in travel at all, it must be equally so at home, in men's daily avocations—where they are such as to require moving about —as when called from home, and required to transact their business in distant places. What an anomaly, and which is worse, what a disadvantage,—in such times as these, that a man who lives two or three miles out of town, or even in a suburb of the town, from which his place of business is as distant must spend as much time in passing to and fro as would enable him, by the now ordinary public conveyances from one town to another, to perform a journey of five times the distance. Here, in Liverpool, it is true; there is now some slight prospect,—Would that it were only more dis tinct and certain than we fear it is,—of our having so great a want supplied, as this of a better means of locomotion at home; while at Birkenhead, in- Wind yesterday, N.W. ; at Holyhead, W.N.W., mod. breeze. FRIDAY, HAY 25, 1860. THE DAY'S NEWS. The House of Lords, last night, went into committee on the Union of Benifices Bill, which was passed through committee after a long dis cussion. Lord Lyveden gave notice that on the 13th Juno he should move the second reading of the bill for the abolition of church rates. In the House of Commons, last night, Lord Palmerston moved that a committee be appointed to inspect journals of the House of Lords with relation to any proceedings upon the bill to repeal the duty of excise on paper made in the United Kingdom, and to make a report thereof to the House. The motion was agreed to without observation, but amid some laughter. The noble lord then, amid the continued merriment of the House, brought up the report of the committee, consisting of an extract of the proceedings in reference to the late reception of the Repeal Bill, taken from the lords' journals. Lord Palmerston then gave notice that he should, on to-morrow (this day), move for a committee to search for precedents on the subject. A considerable variety of topics of varied interest were intro duced in the course of the sitting, for which we must refer our readers to our report, The present unhappy position of the Ministry is very sarcastically commented upon by the Morning Herald. All idea of any one of them resigning is, of course, deemed utterly improba ble. " How," it is asked, " could the country be governed if any single Minister of so marvellous a combination were to resign ? Let, then, Lords or Commons repeat their insults and cumulate disgust with censure—what matters ? Have not reproach and censure become habitual to Pal merston, Russell, Gladstone, and Co. ? What is a vote of two to one against such men, except a duplicate ratio of envy and jealousy in proportion to successful budgets, successful treaties, success ful reform bills, successful diplomacy, 'and suc cessful interpretations of the law." Questions these, the irony of which is as comical as it is cutting. The Morning Star, speaks out plainly as to what it conceives to be the duty of Ministers. "They are bound," it contends, " to carry out, at least the leading promises of the Queen's speech, to resign their commissions into her hands, or to appeal to the country against their obstructors. A baffled and beaten Ministry, clinging to office but abandoning their measures, withdrawing scheme after scheme, or submitting to alterations that degrade as well as disfigure, is a reproach to the cause of Parliamentary government and an object of contempt to a free people." Such is the opinion of Mr. Bright's newspaper organ. The hon. member contributed materially to place them in office ; will he continue his assistance to keep them there, now that they have become " objects of contempt ?" We shall see. There would now seem to be no doubt, not only of Garibaldi's defeat of the forces of the King of Naples, but of his having already become com plete master of his position. Having so far overcome all resistance, he had issued a procla mation, we learn, in which he declared that he at once took upon himself all the responsibilities of the dictatorship of Sicily. This step is con sidered to be preliminary to the proposal for a formal annexation to Piedmont,—though to such a consummation the French Emperor is under stood to have already protested by anticipation in the strongest manner. There are late accounts from Naples and from Rome, which represent the insurgents in Sicily as having just sustained serious defeats, and the insurrection to be making no progress. If these accounts were true, they would show Garibaldi's position to be still one of uncertainty. But they are scarcely to be relied upon. It is stated in communications from Rome to a late date, that an understanding has been come to between General Goyon, the commander of the French army at Rome, and General Lamoriciere, the Chief of the Papal Volunteers. The former remains in the city to protect the Pope and keep the city tranquil ; the latter will operate outside the walls: The Prince Regent of Prussia's speech at the close of the Chambers on Wednesday, may be regarded as satisfactory in a European point of view. His assurance 'that the Government is most seriously endeavouring to bring about such solutions of the questions which at present engage the attention of the European Cabinets as will be adequate to the maintenance of the political equilibrium," is very re-assuring. We only wish that the French Emperor could give to Europe, in sincerity, any such assurance. Again, the Prince Regent declares that " the Government also will in future adhere to those principles, and will continue to regard the maintenance of . the recognised rights of others as neces sary for the maintenance of its own rights." There is no lurking ambition iu such lan gunge as ' this—no sinister signs of a yearning after either personal of imimrial . aggrandisement. Prussia is a German power; and the interests of Germany are most properly objects of primary concern. " Notwithstanding the difference of opinion existing in reference to important ques tions," his Royal Highness observes,. " in one feeling all the German Governments and peoples are unanimous with myself and the .Prueeian_ , people—that is, in unshaken fidelity to the com mon fatherland, and in the strong conviction that the independence of the nation and the integrity of the national territory are matters of importance before which all internal affairs and dissensions far recede." This, we may depend upon it, is the true policy. Would that our own Government may never depart from such a course as it involves. The statement of a_ ,London _morning paper would be most important if true, that " Lord Palmerston and Lord John-Russell are in posses sion of facts which prove in the most conclusive manner, that Louis Napoleon has not only formed, but fully matured designs which, if he be allowed to carry them into effect, will convulse, the whole of Europe, if not plunge it into actual war, before many months are over." Not that we are at all incredulous as to the probability of such a state ment, in so far as Louis Napoleon is concerned. Nothing, we believe, is more likely than that he has formed such designs, and that he only " bides his time" to proceed in giving effect to them. But although this communication by the I.Toriiiiig Advertiser is made " in the most positive terms," its source is anything but a reliable one. Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell may probably know more than they dare reveal at the present moment ; and it would not increase the public confidence in the Ministry, to have it believed that they are in possession of any such alarming facts as we have referred to. But to conclude that they are actually in posseesion of them, " must give us pause." It is by no means an insignificant • sign of the times, that the Pope should, by secret note to the Bishops in Italy, have requested their retirement to Rome until what is looked forward to as a better state of things shall be re-established. This has reference more particularly, of course, to the now enlarged, and still expanding, dominions of Victor Emmanuel of Sardinia. ." The Church," his Holiness tells them, " might never to recede before the violence of the. civil .power." Yet this is just what has lately been the ease in those Italian States which have been recently placed under Sardinian rule. To withdraw the Bishops, therefore, were a most politic proceeding. There could, strictly speaking, be no Church to " recede before the violence of the civil power," were the Bishops away in retirement at Rome. We have three days' later news, it will be seen, from America, by the mail steamship North Briton, from Quebec. The Canadians appear to be excessively delighted with the near prospect of the Prince of Wales's visit. The Great Western Railway Company are building a state carriage for his Royal Highness, which it is said will surpass anything of the kind ever seen en that side of the Atlantic. The accounts from the United States are of no political importance. The price of flour was falling in the principal markets. Further extensive gold fields, though of, a . coarse quality, had been discovered in British Columbia. By this arrival we have also intelli gence of a most destructive conflagration in Cuba. deed, they have not only taken the initiative already, but, as would be seen by our report of the monthly meeting of the commissioners on Tuesday, an : enterprising American gentleman has undertaken to try the experiment of street railways there, under the special sanction, and under the control, of that important local body. Hr. TRAIN, at his own cost and risk," so the chairman announced, "is to lay down a tramway from their ferry to the park, arid through other portions of the township to be agreed upon, and that tramway could be used not merely by Mr. TRAIN but by any other carriages. This the committee, so far as they were able to judge," he added, " be,lieved would be a great advantage, saving the wear and tear of the streets, and deve loping their property in the township. And con sidering these circumstances, and that the arrange ment was likely to prove beneficial not only as regards the wear and tear of the streets, but also as regarded the ferry traffic and the sale of their property, he felt that they would not be justified in refusing the very liberal offer Mr. TRAIN had made." Certainly, they would not have been jus tified in refusing such an offer Nor do we think that our own Town Council will be justified in re fusing the offer that has been made to them, for laying down similar tramways through the streets of this town, and to certain of its suburbs. We are only apprehensive that the Birkenhead Com missioners may he found to have drawn Mr. TRAIN into a fatal mistake, in requiring that the rails may bo equally used by the public gene rally, unless it be provided that his carriages are to have a preferential right of way. But of this we are not at present very folly informed. In another respect, our locomotion at home is also promised to be improved."' The Wallasey Local Board offer premiums for plans cf improve ment in the existing landing places at the Egre mont and New Brighton Ferries; and likewise premiums for glans and models of an improved steam ferry boat for the passenger traffic between the opposite sides of the Mersey. These are, both of them, objects of very great importance. At present the Ferry-boats are really most dis creditable means for crossing the river. Any one that has seen the American ferry boats— more especially those on the Hudson and the East River at New York—must behold with amazement and disgust the wretched accommo dation afforded by those on the Mersey at Liver pool. It were indeed high time that something were done to redeem the credit both of Birken head and Liverpool in this respect ; and it is most satisfactory, therefore, to find that the Wallasey Local Board has taken it in hand; We would suggest, that while they are thus laudably seeking to improve the public accommodation in so important a particular, they should at the same time contrive to provide additional landing places on the Liverpool side. One landing-place can never fully meet the public convenience. There ought to be at least three—one a mile or so south, and another a similar distance north, of the present landika,-stage. All classes of the community are more or less deeply interested in this subject of improvement in our means of locomotion at home ; for all have, more or less constantly, to avail themselves of its accommoda tion. But there is one class of the people to whom-it is of the greatest importance of all, — and whose convenience, and whose interest gene rally, ought to be very attentively considered, and very carefully consulted—we mean the working class. We advocate, both on moral and physical grounds, the importance of providing every available opportunity for that class of our townspeople living in the outskirts of the town, or even beyond them, rather than be, as they often are, crowded together in something very like rabbit-warrens, surrounded by filth, and stifled with stenches, as well as exposed to still more morally pernicious influences. And a cheap and expeditious means of locomotion are essential to the practicability of so important an object as this. But such means are often of great moment also to working people, both mechanics and labourers, for the purpose of reaching expeditiously and cheaply, the places where their work may have to be carried on. In many instances the distance they have to go is so great, as to require a full hour or more to walk it—an hour in the morning and another hour in the evening—which, in point of fatigue, is two hours added to the labours of the day, as well as being the occasion of other inconveniences. Our means of locomotion, there-, fore, may be most beneficially directed to provide a remedy for such a disadvantage as this. Cheap and expeditious Street Railways and Ferry-boats would be of immense benefit to that numerous and important class; while to every other class they would be more or less an advantage. Let us hope that we are at length about to have the matter taken up with public spirit, and with a determination to spare neither pains nor expense to make such an object at once advantageous and creditable to so important a town is Liverpool. THE LIVERPOOL SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. Yesterday, at the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street, the annual examination of the poor children under tuition at the Liverpool School for the Deaf and Dumb, took place in the presence of a goodly number of the supporters. The president of the institution, the secre tary, and members of the working committee, were present. The children were examined by the principal of the school, Mr. David Buxton, in the various branches of education ; and the extensive knowledge of general history, and the minute acquaintance with Biblical his torical facts which they manifested, must indeed be very gratifying, not only to the gentlemen who have charge of them, but also to their parents and friends. Three boys and a girl, who at an early age were bereft of their sense of hearing through fever or illness, were examined orally, the master having taught them to enunciate words. Deaf persons, it appears, are made conscious of sound by the vibration of the air ; and thus their attention may be attracted by striking upon a table or stamping upon the floor. It is by stamping on the floor that they are aroused in the morning. All the children and adults appeared . exceedingly clean and neat ; some of them, who belong to the higher and middle classes, were dressed tastefully. Their general appearance indicated great intelligence, and they all seemed perfectly happy. There are at present sixty indoor and thirty outdoor pupils, and the establishment is quite full. The girls' dormitory has its full complement of inmates, and that of the boys is inconveniently crowded ; and as the number of applicants for admission does not diminish, the committee have entered upon the question of enlarg ing the building, which they consider can now be no longer delayed. Plans and specifications have been pre pared, which contemplate a large addition to the present available space, and also a vast improvement in the present arrangements. From .£BOO to £9OO has been already subscribed for this object; but a sum of not less than £l,BOO will be required in order to carry out fully all the intentions of the committee. We hope that aid will be forthcoming at once. After the examination bad been concluded, the Rev. Augustus Campbell made a few remarks to the effect that he hoped the parties present at the examination were satisfied with the progress made by the children, and if so, that they should make the objects and the success of the institution known to their families and friends. The committee, he said, had taken the preli minary steps towards enlarging the building and increas ing its utility. Additional Nrids were required for that purpose. He proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Buxton, the principal, which was seconded by the Rev. Thomas Moore. Mr. Buxton returned thanks, in a few words, and mentioned as an instance of the benefits arising from the institution, the case of a boy who was about to leave the school for his father's counting house, where he had no doubt, his services would become valuable. On the motion of the Rev. Thomas Banner, a vote of thanks was awarded to the president, wbo returned thanks briefly; and the meeting terminated. The report of Mr. Ingham's committee on Green wich Hospital has been issued. Great r eforms are shown to be needed in this important national insti tution. • The Daily Yews says the work in preparation for the allotment.' of the shares in the Thames and Mersey Insurance Company has proved so heavy that, although num erous clerks are incessantly engaged, the letters are not expected to be issued before the end of next week. LATEST NEWS. BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.] FRANCE. The Emperor of the French is said to be more and more dissatisfied with the Piedmontese Go vernment, and complains that the period previous to the ratification of the annexation of Savoy to France has been taken advantage of to sell the Crown lands, which should revert to France. As one of the effects of the treaty of commerce, it is stated that several ships in Paris are well stocked with English porcelain. PARIS, May 24. The _lioniteur of this morning publishes the law concerning sugars and coffees, which has been agreed to by the Senate. The 3fonitertr also publishes the order of the day of matters to be discussed in the next sitting of the Senate, among which are petitions relative to the import of iron, and to the execution of the treaty of commerce between France and England. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, May 24. 3.25 P.71.--The Bourse has been firm and animated. The Rentes closed at 69f. 40c., or about the dame as yesterday. ITALY AND SICILY. The Papal Government has seized important documents, containing instructions for hastening an insurrection in the States of the Church, in the Abruzzi, and in Calabria. It is said that General Lamoriciere is finding out that, under the French protectorate at _Dome , his hands are as tightly bound as they would be in France. The French Commander-in-Chief will not allow him to attack the Piedmontese, or to assist the King of Naples. A letter from Florence states that the party of the Grand Duke of Tuscany is busily employed in agitating that city. Seditious writings are posted up every night. Many of the noblest families in Tuscany do not disguise the fact, that they are conspiring to accomplish a restoration. ROME, May 23. An official despatch dated Naples, 22nd, states that the insurgents in Sicily were attacked and dispersed on the 21st instant by the 9th Battalion of Royal Chasseurs. 128 of the rebels were killed. The insurrection was making no progress. (Official.) NAPLES, May 23. The rebels encamped at San Martino, near Monreale, have been beaten twice, driven from their positions, and pursued t') Partinico with very considerable losses. One of their leaders, Rosolino Pilo, was killed. The heights which were occupied by the rebels have been taken by the Royal troops. The Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs that a proclamation had been issued by Garibaldi, in which he took upon himself all the responsibilities of the Dictatorship of Sicily. The Paris correspondent of the Times says, whatever fresh intelligence may have been received from Naples, none of a kind favourable to that Government has transpired. It may therefore be inferred that the movement in Sicily is making progress. The Vienna correspondent of the Times says the prevalent opinion in that capital is that Sicily is lost to the Bourbons. A report transmitted from Brussels, that Garibaldi had entered Palermo, is considered premature. The jiloviernento, a journal of Genoa, in its number of Wednesday, alleges that Garibaldi has entered Palermo with 9,000 infantry and a squadron of cavalry. The Neapolitan troops, it is stated, had laid down their arms. The most extraordinary enthusiasm prevailed at Palermo. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News has special instructions for believing that Garibaldi has really entered Palermo, and that he has issued a stirring proclamation, dated from that city, declaring that he assumes the provisional Dicta torship of Sicily. It is said that Garibaldi has determined to make himself undisputed master of Sicily before making any attempt on the main land. He will afterwards form a navy, vastly superior to any forces which the King of Naples can command, and make a formidable descent upon Calabria, by means of which he does not doubt :being able to dethrone the King. The insurrectional committee in Sicily has, it is said, sent a note to the Foreign Consuls, announcing that the nation will be consulted, and that the Sicilian Parliament will be convoked. PARIS, May 24. The Patrie of this evening, after giving the Neapolitan despatch announcing the defeat of Gari baldi, says a second despatch states that Garibaldi is said to have attacked the royal troops, who were strongly entrenched, and to have completely beaten them. According to the same despatch, that combat would lead to the immediate evacu tion by the royal troops of Palermo, Messina, Trapani, Catania, and Syracuse. The Opinion Nationde publishes the following despatch, dated Messina, 22nd instant:—There is a great panic among the authorities. The inhabitants are joining Garibaldi in crowds. Great numbers of strangers are quitting the towns. The soldiers have taken refuge in the forts. THE EASTERN QUESTION. The Paris letter of the Daily News says it was rumoured that the Monite'tr was about to publish a speech of M. Lavalette to the Sultan, so alarming as to throw the Sicilian question into the shade. CONSTANTINOPLE (via Marseilles), May 16. The Marquis De Lavalette, in passing through Athens, was received with great distinction. A banquet was given to his honour by the Court. The Sultan has addressed a complimentary mes sage to the Marquis De Lavalette. Everybody is pre-occupied with the importance of his mission, and is awaiting his course of action, and the speech which it is said he will address to the Sultan. The Porto has deferred replying to the Ser vians until after having consulted with the Powers England persists in her opposition to the heredi tary rights of Prince Milosch. Omar Pasha is expected to arrive at Constantinople on Saturday next. It is said that he will be commissioned to repress the agitations among the Sclaconic cor porations. A democratic ministry has been appointed in Moldavia. The Senate has impeached the former ministers. The Ministry of Wallachia is said to be on the point of dissolution. The Sultan has received the decorations of the order of King Leopold in a private audience, but hi s lk I ajesty is said to be seriously suffering from an intermittent gastric fever. The Porte has questioned Prince Alexis Luban, of Rostowsky, upon the rumoured concentration of Russian forces o (as n the as Pruth reported) in a re-assu r . It is denied that the prince replied w ing manner. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, May 24. Prince Gortschakoff has sent instructions to the Russian representatives at the courts of the Great Powers, explaining why the Turkish ambassador was not invited with the ambassadors of Austria, France, Great Britain, and Prussia, to receive the proposals of Russia relative to an inquiry into the condition of Christians in Tur key. Prince Gortschakoff says the condition of the Christians in the Turkish Empire is a ques tion of general interest reserved for the considera tion of an European Conference, which for nearly fifty years has consisted of the five Great Powers exclusively, among which Turkey is not included. It had not been necessary to call the representa tive of the Porte to this assembly of the ambas sadors, because she signed the treaty of 30th March, 1856. The same claim could have been made by Sardinia, whose participation in th e negotiation in question would have been opposed by Austria. It was therefore necessary to exclude the Porte in order to avoid the admission of Piedmont, and to confine the deliberations to the Great Powers only. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, May 2 4 . Counts Antoine Svecheny and Andrassy, an d a Hungarian prelate, are spoken of as having been chosen by Government to replace the three Hungarians who declined their appointments to the Council of the Empire. They are also said to have formally consented to their nomination. THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, May 24• The Cape mail steamer Athens, Captain Clark' arrived here this afternoon.

She bring eight passenger°` Lieut.-Governor Scott was on leave of absence is order to make arrangements for improving Nata l harbour. Sir George Grey was expected daily. Public business was generally deferred until his arrival. Parliament was to meet on the 27th ult. The session was expected to be a busy one, and the leading business would most likely doneern measures of administrative and financial reform-- One of the first questions would be the anomalcal a position of the Legislative Council in having for its perpetual President the principal judge of the Supreme Court. The vote for the emigration estates would probably be repealed. Government would bring in a Convict Exclusion Bill, inflict• ing heavy penalties on captains bringing and per sons harbouring convicts ; the latter would be condemned to renewed penal servitude. The Government would also bring in a Census Bill and a Crown Lands Bill. A bill proposing a railway from Port Elizabeth to Graham's Town was strongly opposed among the eastern province members. A bill would be brought in for the construction of a breakwater in Table Bay, th e. estimated expenses of which are -(400,000. Petitions were being got up, praying for a restrictive law to limit the rate of interest to. 6 per cent., as the farmers feared that mortgage s • would raise the rate of interest to 121 per cent. There was no chance of such a law being enacted. £lO,OOO per annum was wanted to maintain the clergy of the Church of England. An appeal to the laity for voluntary contributions had been unsuccessful, as they were jealous of the powe r of the clergy. The laity have proposed that the church finances would be administered by a com mittee, with a preponderance of lay members, of which the bishop only should be president, and that the congregations should select their own clergymen, whom the bishop would approve and license. No sales of wine had taken place, as the prices offered being lower, farmers declined selling• AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN May 24.

A , g ave notice that, on the motion for going into Mr' 11°11.8 1 the Reform Bill, he should propose that the by way of legislation, to determine on what e f u turelegislation on the subject should be based- Lord Pee. , RSTON moved that • a committee be appointed to journals of the House of committeeou:reoh. inspect the c j ec'ed' Lords with relation to au,' procee di n gs upon thebill to repeal the duty of excise on pall" - ma de in the United Kingdom, and to kwmae a report thereof to the Souse. The motion was agreed to ithout observations but amid some laughter. The noble lord then, amid the con tinued merriment of the House, brought up the report of the committee, consisting of an extract of the proceedings in to the late reception of the Repeal Bill, taken from the lords journals. L o rd PALMERSTON then gave notice that he should, e ll to-morrow (this day), move for a committee to search for Pre cedents on the subject. The amendments to the Wine License Bill were considered , and several new clauses proposed. Most of these gave rise to long discussions, ending in their rejection.

Williams proteste d aga inst the ey n ecessary in orde r to course of proceedings, and hoped that the house would express a strong opinion before such a precedent was established. Mr. W.leroce likewise thought the reason alleged by the Secretary for the Treasury insufficient. Such a course had only been adopted on former occasions, when a dissolution was in prospect. He would not oppose the motion, but b° trustee that the estimates would hereafter be subjected to the most rigorous scrutiny. After some remarks from Lord EL Vane, Sir S. NORTRCOTE said that the Government had only ,them selves to thank for the dilemma in which they were placed. Lord FERMOY protested against the precedent, and thought that the House ought to make a stand against it. Mr. DISRAELI likewise objected to the precedent, which was all the more dangerous because the sum asked was a email one. It would be exhausted in a fortnight, and there was 11 0 guarantee that a similar small vote would not be again asked when the House was engaged in important debates on another matter. If the vote passed, it should be on the clear under standing that full opportunity would be give., for the discus sion of the estimates.
