THE SYRIAN QUESTION. • The Post publishes a telegram from Paris which says, the assent of the Porte does not yet appear to have been received to the proposals made by the French Government with the view of stopping the effusion of blood in Syria. The Post, in a leader, strongly opposes foreign inter vention in Syria. A Turkish force of 16,000 men, under the orders of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in person, is already between Beyrout and Damascus. There is no pretence for the intervention of foreign powers. If we are to have a French military occupation in Syria, why not .also in case of religious quarrels which are prophetically predicted, may we not have a Russian military occupation on the Danube, and an Austrian. occupation in Servia or Montenegro ? When we come to this, it may fairly be asked why should not Turkey be partitioned at once ? WORKS FOR NATIONAL DEFENCES. The Dad ! , Nays says no one could take excep tion to Lord- Palmerston's tone when he touched upon the critical foreign relations of a consti tutional Government with a despotic neighbour. The Daily News also describes the reception given to the measure—lt was greatly cheered on the Tory side, and this fact is noted by the Daily News as the indication of a deliberate purpose amongst that party to foment discord between France and England. The Herald remarks that the earnestness of Lord Palmerston's tone last night is a pretty good guarantee that the work to be taken in band will be well done, and that the Government has at last been roused into something like vigilance and solicitude respecting the national defences- The Times says Lord Palmerston meant nothing more than that with 600,000 men under arms or on furlough, within sight of our shores, aided by a fleet almost equal to our own, both wholly unnecessary for defence, and wielded by the changeable Government of an excitable people, we have to look to ourselves. The Star observes that Lord Palmerston' s speech is a manifesto of distrust towards France. THE LEATHER TRADE, -----__ .

HOUSE OF tons.—YESTERDAY. • The Bleaching and Dyeing - Works Bill, the Nuismices Remo val and Diseases Prevention Bill, and the Land Clauses Act Amendment Bill, passed through committee. The house then Went into committee on the Census (England aud•lreland) Bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROI , OH moved the omission from the Irish bill of the clauses requiring a statement.of religious pro fession. A similar clause,had been struck out of the English bill, and he did not see why it should be retained in the Irish. Lord MoNTEAeLE supported the clause, which was simply permissive, which would never create dissatisfaction nor inflict hardship. Earl GRA.NYILLE also supported the clause. After a brief consultation the amendment was negatived, and the bill passed through committee. The Queen's Prison, the Offences in her Majesty's Posses sions Abroad, and the Herring Fishery (Scotland) Bills, were read a second time. The Labourers' Cottages (Scotland), the Burial Grounds (Ireland) Act Amendment, the Isle of Man Harbours, and the Dominica Hurricane Loan Bills, were read a third time and passed. Lord BitorouAm moved the second reading of the Felony and Misdemeanour Bill, of which the object was to' give to prisoners' counsel the right of reply now enjoyed by counsel for the prosecution in Criminal cases. Lord WENSLEYDALE opposed the Bill, which was supported by the Lord Chancellor. After some further debate the House divided, when the second reading was carried ,by 13 to 10. Their lordships adjourned at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. At the morning sitting the House went into committee on the Poor-law Continuance Bill. On clause 1 Mr. HANT.Ey moved an amendment, reducing the tax of continuance froin five years to one, contending that the whole system of the poor-law administration ought to be at once amended. Mr. S. ESTCOURT admitted 'the necessity of a revision of the system, but supported the motion, suggesting that mean while the subject should be referred to a select committee. After some discussion Mr. Hanley withdrew his amendment. Mr. DEEDS then proposed to fix the period of continuance at three years. On a division this proposition was carried by 147 to 92. The bill then passed through committee. The House then went into committee on the Roman Catholic Charities Bill, and made some slight progress before the sitting was suspended. In the evening sitting, Mr. GR:FFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information had been received that, to avoid a civil war, the King of Naples has ordered the whole of Sicily to be evacuated, and that the King of Sardinia had sent an autograph letter to Garibaldi, requesting him not to attack the continental dominions of the King of Naples. Lord T. RUSF , ELL replied that a telegram had been received from Naples stating that the King had ordered the evacuation of Messina and other places occupied by his troops in Sicily; he had also been told by the Sardinian Minister in London, that after an interview with the Neapolitan Envoy at Turin, the King of Sardinia had sent an aide-de-camp to Garibaldi, but the mess=age with which he was charged did not appear. Sir J. PAnninron moved for an address to her Majesty praying that she shall be grac'ously pleased to issue a royal commission to consider the present system of promotion and retirement in the royal navy, and the present pay and position of the several clas!s of naval officers; and to report what changes are desirable, with a view to the increased efficiency of her Majesty's naval services. He grounded his motion on the general discontent now felt by officers of the navy, none of whom were satisfied with their position. As to the reason for this dissatisfaction, he entered into some detail, objecting to many of the measures of the present administration as injudi cious or useless. If these complaints were false, let them be exposed; if true, let them be redressed. Under both contin gencies, they ought to he investigated. Sir M. SEYMOUR seconded the motion, ‘ileging especially the grievances of the officers of the old war. Captain TALBOT supported the motion. Lord C. PAGET asked why Sir Pakington, when in office, di& not carry out his own recommendations. It was true that he had done son4thing, but in a partial and imperfect manner ; be had overlooked ties cic.inas of many of the officers with whom those claims were most urgent. lie defended the scheme of the Government for the amelioration of tlse Position of the junior officers of the navy. That position had been gradually improved from time to time. The admiralty had done much already, and V/419 well disposed to do more. With regard to the mates whose complaints were in many respects well founded, and if it did not jnyolve too great an expense, an addi tion would be made to their aliowcnee. Nothing would give theta greater pleasure than toimprove the po - ,iiqqn of all classes of naval officers, but he could not forget his ditty to the coun try. Ile would, however, take the matter into his serious consideration, and he thought it had better be left to the admiralty rather than to rt royal comm ssion, which would unsettle the feelings of the entire navy, and raise hopes which must infallibly be disappointed. After a debate, and a brief reply from Sir J. Pakington, the house divided. For the motion, 56 ; against 89 ; majority, 33. Mr. Dutitop moved a series of resolutions setting forth that in all contracts for packet and telegraph services a clause sbouid be ine2rted conditioning that the agreement shall not be binding until it 4a4 been at least a month before the House of Commons without cilsapproyal; and that in case when such contract require to Le confirmed by an act, the treasure for that purpoie shall not be brought in as a private bill. • The CHANCELLOR of the ExcuEquEa expressed the thanks of the government for the care and attention with which the Select Commietee on Packet Contracts, whereof Mr. Dunlop was chairman, had bestowed upon the subject, and the Judi- Cloys character of their recommendations. He believed that Inc chscretion hitherto exercised by the executive in the con clusion of cotracts required limitation, and cordially supported the resolution now laid before the House. Mr. R in Which, if th e reso l ut i ons were adopted, e u the House assume and supersede the responsibility which ought to belong to her Mai esti?s Ministers. Sir• G. C. Lrwrs observed that the interference of Parliament with the executive involved many points of delicacy and diffi culty. He thought that, with regard to contracts which were prospective in character, and ran over long periods of time, sucliinterposition was necessary, and would be applied with out undu.e limitation, either of ministerial power and responsi bility, by the present resolutions. The resolutions were them put, sinctioued, and agreed to xlianimously. Leave was given to Sir C. Wood to introduce tnree ; one to remove doubts as to the authority of the Governor-General of India as senior member of the council, in the absence of the President of that council; another, extending to members of the Indian service, in certain cases, the prpvisions of the Su perannuat'on Act ; and the third, to extend certain provisions for admiralty jurisdiction in the colonies to' her Majesty's territories in India. The Local Government Supplemental No. 2 Bill was passed through committee. The Turnpike Act Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. The Militia Bill went through committee. The House having gone into committee on the Poor Relief reland) Bill, . , Sir J. Aeliorr inveighed against Lite cruelty, inefficiency, and expense of the present system of poor relief in Ireland. It was a reproach to the country, and he suggested various changes, especially the extension of out-door relief. Mr. B. OSBORNE agreed that the Irish poor law was a disgrace to the country, but objected to the remedies proposed by the hon. member. Mr. Cs.anwErr. entered at some length into the details of the Irish relief system, which he contended was humanely admi nistered, and sad worked well. Further discussion foljovf , d, in which Mr. Hennessy, Mr. E g an, Lord C. Hamilton, and oth,er members took part. Ultimately the bill passed through committee. The other bill, were advanced a stage, and tite House adjourned at three o'clock. SELECT VESTRY.

Messrs. Jeffery, Campbell, Rawlins, and 0. William, were then appointed as a sub-committee to make arrangements for a meeting on Thursday next.

A respectable and fine-looking young man named EVB3I Lloyd Mathias was brought up on warrant charged with having assaulted his wife, Jane Mathias, an elegantly-attired and interesting-looking female, of about 30 years of age. Mr. Cobb was for the complainant, and Mr. Bluck for the prisoner. The complainant said, I live at 12, St. Jude's-place, and have been married nearly four years to the prisoner ; he is a sailor. On Friday last, he came in and asked for money, but I had none to give him, when he threw me on the floor, put his knee on my chest, and got a hatchet and knife, and swore he would kill me. I got from him, and then he asked if I would forgive him, and I said I would In order to get away from hini. He then asked me if I would take a glass of ale, and I said yes, and told him to go into the kitchen to get a jug : and this I did to get away from him, and I ran away to the house of a friend, in Prescot-street. I have not been near him since, and lam afraid of my life from his violence. Cross-examined by Mr. Bluck : He went on his knees to me, asking forgiveness.

After some discussion, it was agreed that the prisoner should enter in his own recognisances to keep the peace, and he pro rniied not to go near his wife any more ; and he was then 'discharged. " LIVERPOOL REFORM ASSOCIATION. The adjourned meeting of this association was held yesterday afternoon, at the committee-rooms, Cable street, Mr. Jeffery presiding. About 500 invitations had been issued, and twenty gentlemen attended the meeting. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,, said they had met, as they were aware, for the purpose of considering the propriety of calling a public meeting to consider the present position of the disputed question regarding the privileges of the House of Commons, which had been so grossly infringed by the House of Lords, in rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty. It was perfectly clear that the Government could not impose additional duty upon spirits until the Lords had given their sanction, as it could never be held in any court that for the purpose of repeal the Lords may have power, but for the purpose of imposition they are to be nugatory. (Hear, hear). If the dealers in spirits were to clear all the spirits in bond in this country, and if the executive of the Government refused to release the spirits without the payment of the increased duties, whoever paid the duty under protest and took the necessary legal proceedings the Government would have to refund. It appeared to him to be great impolicy for gentlemen to interfere with that of which they know nothing, and which they professed not to understand; and were the Lords, who knew nothing of financial matters, to sit in judgment upon the financial proceed ings of the House of Commons, nothing could lead to greater financial confusion. He presumed that that meeting had been called to consider the present position of the question. It had become more and more complicated as time passed, and he regretted that there were so few members present. The only conclusion he could come to was either that- the members of that association were relaxing them selves on the northern hills or upon the southern coast, or that they were so busy making money for themselves, and everything was so smooth .and prosperous, and so individually advantageous, that they cared nothing for the position either of their fellow citizens or those who may succeed them in future generations. Bat if those present would take a proper view of the question, and would feel that there was an amount of responsibility resting upon their shoulders, as indeed there was upon the shoulders of every one, they would speak out upon that occasion, and not allow it to be said that the only association in this town calling itself the Reform Association had neglected so important a question, and had allowed the House of Lords to impose taxation upon the industry of the people, regard less of the consequences, and nnassociated as it was with representation. He trusted that the meeting would be called, and when called would be responded to far more numerously than any meeting hitherto called by that association. Mr. C. E. RAWLINS, having mentioned that Messrs. R. Gladstone, Jackson, and Urquhart had sent apologies for their absence, proceeded to move that a meeting be called, at which a motion should be submitted to the effect that the people of this country had enjoyed the immemorial right to tax themselves only by their repre sentatives; that the refusal by the Lords to pass the bill for the repeal of the paper duties was a flagrant violation of that right ; that it was the sacred duty of the House of Commons, as the guardians of the rights of the people, to exercise their power ; and that if they refused to do so, their character as public men must be seriously compromised in the people's estimation. The object of that meeting was, Mr. Rawlins said, a far more important one - than to discuss the question of the repeal of the paper duty—namely, the violation by the House of Lords of the privileges of the souse o f Commons. The paper question sank into utter insigni ficance before that concerning the right of the Commons to tax the people without any interference. Having gone through all the precedents which they had named in their report, the committee had not been able to adduce one - single precedent which meets the case. Thirty-four cases were named where the Lords 444 inter fered in money bills ; but Mr. Collier, with the ingenuity and keen-sightedness of a lawyer and the honesty of a public man, had gone through every one of those cases, and shewn that they were either rejected or inter fered with by the Lords on other grounds, and that though they were called money bills, it was simply because they contained a fine or penalty; but they were not bills of supply. The report having been submitted, the Hoase of Commons had passed three resolutions, to the first and third of which he thought no defender of the Constitution could object. The .second resolution was more dubious, but taken with the other two he interpreted it to allude to the jealousy with which the House of Commons had always looked upon bills which lay upon the border-land of supply. It was said there was a great apathy existing with regard to this question, and this he thought existed most of all among the mem bers of the Reform Association. If that had been simply a question of reform, he would not at all have wondered at it, because they had sever been in the habit of attending to questions of reform.--,(oh I oh and hear, hear.) But being a question affecting the constitutional liberties of the country, he must confess that he was surprised that they did not make an effort to defend the past, if they did not go for progress in future. • (Hear, hear.) Mr. CAMPIIRLL seconded the resolution, and said it seemed to him that the question was underrated by the Liberals of this and other parts of the country. If the Liberal party saw the consequences which mast ulti mately flow from the establishment of a precedent by the House of Lords, they would see that that was a most serious question. (near, hear.) He acknow ledged that the House of Lords had a legal right, but it was one of those legal rights which were considered anomalies, and held only on the understanding that it should never be exercised. Such were the legal right, of the House of Commons to reject a divorce bill, and the legal right of the lay Peers to vote in cases of appeal—rights which, if they had ever been asserted, would immediately have been taken away. He thought the necessities of the country might have been met in a more legitimate way, for if the Lords were entitled to interfere with the case in question, they were entitled to interfere in any case where they thought her Majesty's ministers had not made sufficient provision for the neces sities of the country. This would be repeated year after year, and then the Liberals of Liverpool and elsewhere would regret the apathy they had first shewn with regard to the question. Mr. 0. WILLIAMS, in supporting the motion., con tended that the real question was, " direct or indirect taxation," Mr. JEVoNs had nothing to sly against the resolution, but thought the better plan would be to go to the root of the evil at once. He believed they would do no good at all with the present state of representation. Parties were so equally divided that it was vain to expect any thing more from the House of Commons than they had already got. The question could not be altered, and he did not think there was any good it interfering in a matter which was settled. They should change the state of the House of Commons, and return men with more spirit, with more courage, and more decided prin ciples. Mr. P. H. ItkrunoNE thought that, as the meetinc, seemed so small, it would not be wise for them to proceed unless they saw [acme of calling together one of those great meetings which had been brought together by that associa tion. A meeting like that would coet from £5O to £6O ; and as he believed the funds of the association were so low that there would have to be an extra subscription at the end of the year to meet the liabilities of the association. If there was to be a meeting, he thought it desirable that there pbuuld be a separate subscription ; and if that were the case, it could scarcely be called a meeting of the association. He was very sorry, indeed, to see ho few there. He thought it was a great mistake for gentlemen not to come, when, as he believed, their absence was not merely apathy, but for some difference of opinion on the subject. Ir was a most unfortunate way of showing difference of opinion, and it was very much to be regretted that gentlemen did not come for ward and openly state that they differed. (Hear, hear.) He thought that association should be unanimous in any step which it tcok, for the time must come vnien they would want the association, and when theie would be no fear of any apparent want of unanimity in its decisions. He thought the main struggle would come next session, and it would be well to postpone the meet ing until that period. Mr. JEFFERY believed that his friend, Mr. Philip Rathbone, was a fair sample of those absent friends who had neither read nor ascertained from enquiry, what is the present position and the probable prospects of the question. It was deplorable that those gentlemen wh o had spent £6,000 in our parliamentary contests, and £B,OOO to unseat those who had improperly obtained their election, should be said to allow a paltry £5O to stand in their way, because that society was in a state of bankruptcy, and not for the first time ; although the means had always been found by which to liquidate their liabilities at the close of each year. If they had lived on faith in the past, why should they not live on faith for the future. He was astonished at Mr. Rath bone lending his name to such a statement. Never till then had the name of Rathbone been herded on the side of despotism and obstructiveness. It was the first time, and he hoped it would be the last. Mr. JEVONS thought Mr. Jeffery Was too hard upon their friend Mr. Rathbone. Mr. RITHSONE said he saw he was in error in men tioning funds. He thought, in fact, that the meeting was not desirable at present, and he ought to have stated it right out. He trusted , that if ever the occa sion arose when the liberties of the country were in danger, he should not spare—he would not say money, for that was a paltry consideration—but he hoped he would not spare either life or anything else in its defence. He should feel exceedingly sorry and unhappy if it was thought that either his personal inconvenience or his personal safety should lead him to disgiace the name which he bore. (Applause.) He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that as the apathy on the subject was so mat, the meeting s hould be adjourned till that objection could be obviated, WET INSIDE ADD OUTSIDE: • . A young fellow named. James Campbell was brought up by Officer 651 on the following charge; He said, on Monday, there was a ship going out of the Wellington Dock ; the prisoner was on board, and just as the vessel got into the river, the prisoner threw himself overboard into the river, saying he wanted to drown himself. A boat was got, and witness, with some others, went into it, and were proceeding to the quay wall, when the prisoner again jumped into the river. The tide was running strong at the time, and they had a great deal of trouble to save him, but they succeeded. He was very drunk a; the time. The prisoner begged to he forgiven, and said he would not get drunk again : he would not act as descritied, if he were sober. He was discharged with a caution.' AN UNFORTUNATE CASE. A respectable-looking Anal.) named Anne Powell was charged by her mother of the same name, who lives in Myrtlei. street, for being drunk and annoying the house. The com plainant said the prisoner had a weekly allowance to live upon, but the spent the greater part of it for drink, and whilst in a state of intoxication, she committed great extravagance and was in the habit of creating much disturbance and annoy ance. She _has had her up several times before, but forgave her; however, lately, her conduct was so bad that she could not endure. it any longer. Mr. Raffles said it was an unfor tunate ease, and ordered the prisoner to find sureties to keg the peace, or in default one month's imprisonment. The prisoner was cuumittecl, as she could not procure the sureties.! CHARGE QF MANSLAUGHTER. Hugh O'Donnell, a cooper, was brought tip on a charge of having caused the death of his wife, Ann Q'Donnell. The de tails of this case were published in our paper of Monday, under the heal of Coroner's Court. The facts were, that on the 20th of June the prisoner and his wife were drunk at their place in Thomas•stret, when the prisoner pulled his wife down stairs; and broke her leg, from the effects of which she died on Friday last in the hospital. An inquest was held on Saturday, and the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the pri soner, A warrant was issued for his committal. Mr. Raffles remanded the prisoner until the magistrate who took Vag depositions of the deceased could be present. CHARGE AGAINST A 'I CRIMP." Henry George Pierce, described as a crimp," living at 10, Radcliffe-street, was summoned, under the 14Sth section of the Merchant Shipping Act, for having demanded and received 2s. 6d. for having procured a ship for the eon of a woman named Charles. The case was clearly proyed by Mrs. Charles and her daughter; and Mr. Murphy, of the Local Marine Board, said the prisoner had been repeatedly cautioned to desist from such illegal practices. The prisoner acted ill the most disorderly and uproarious manner in court. He was rind 45 and costs, or three months' imprisonment. He swore if he had a bushel full of gold he would not pay a farthing. He was then removed, kicking up a furious row. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER ON THE HIGH SEAS. Hugh Gallrtlitl, late a cooper oti board the ship Earl of Derby, belonging to Messrs. Stewart and Douglas, was brought up on remarid, charged with the manslaughter of John M'Kay, on the voyage from Africa to Liverpool. Mr. Bremner was for the prisoner. The prisoner had been before the magistrates on last Tuesday, and the details appeared in the Daily Times of Wednesday. In addition to the evidence already given, James Pulver, who had been a sailor on board the ship, Said :—On the day the deceased died, he saw the prisoner strike him twice, and deceased rolled over from the hatch; the prisoner amused deceased about some canvas shoes, and then !truek him ; the prisoner then writ and got some vinigar, to rub deceased's head, and said he was very sorry for it, for he did it in a passion. The deceased was very weak, and in bad health, at the time; he did not roll off the hatch from the blow, blit from his weakmiss. To Mr. Bremner ; The witness said he was 'sure the prisoner did not kick the deceased ; the deceased seemed in a flt, and' foamed at the mouth. He was very bad from the scurvy. Edward .pyres, a sailor on board the ship, was examined, and said the deceased was very sick, and had the scurvy in his legs and gums, and was not able to work, but was allowed to sit on the hatch, to keep a•look-out. His evidence was much the same as that of the last witness. Some other witnesses were examined, and they all agreed that deceased was very ill, and that the prisoner struck him with his hand ; but, if qecettaed had been strong the blow 'would not have done him any harm. Mr. Bremner said there was no necessity for him to say a word after the evidence. The captain was called, and said he thought M'Kay tiled in a fit. In reply to Mr. Bremner, the 'captain said that if he did not bear that the deceased had been struck,la would have concluded that he had died in alit. Mr. Raffles said ;t was a slight case, but yet he would not deal with it then ; he would send the case before a jury ; but, if Mr. Bremner wished, he would adjourn the case, and let a medical man hear the evidence and give his opinion on that evidence. Surgeon M'Call was then sent for, and on hearing the evi dence, his opinion was that the blows accelerated death, and the prisoner was sent fqr trial, but was admitted to hail. CHARGE OF ENTBEztLpityr. Charles Bartlett, late a bock-keeper in the employment of Messrs. Wright and Crqssley, North,John-street, was brought up by detective-officer Scott on a charge of having embezzled minis of wpm belonging to 41.5 employers. Saperintendent Kohoe said the prisoner was book-keener to Messrs. Wright and Crossley, and he had been absent on leave for some days, and it was found that he had received some money which he had not entered in the cash-book, but had entered it in the ledger, The prisoner had done all in his power to arrange the affair, and therefore the firm did not wish to proceed further in the case. The prisoner was then discharged. niscoymy OF GOLD IN NOVA SCOTIA. A correspondent of the Star, writing from Nova Scotia on the 12th ult., says : We have had an " excitement " in this province for the last two weeks, owing to the discovery of gold in a portion of the county of Halifax, N.S., about fifty miles from Halifax, on the Atlantic coast. The dis covery was first made by the native Indians, and, since then, there has been quite a "rusk " to the "gold fields!' The locality where the precious metal was dis covered is on the upper fork of the Tangier river, in a part of the country at present a dense and almost impenetrable forest. The first specimens were brought to Lord Mulgrave, the Lieutenant-Governor, and his lordship having ascertained that they were of pure gold, sent Professor How, of 'Windsor College, to examine the locality, and "report." The matter, however, soon go t w i n d," and before the professor made his appear ance on the ground, several hundred people found their way thither, and a regular search for nuggets com menced. lam sorry, however, to have to report, that they made very little by their searching. The quantity of gold hitherto picked up would not command 200 dollars, so the diggers have got enough of it, and are returning to their farms and em ployments like sensible men. Some men, who w roug ht hard for aye or six days, had not succeeded in ge tti ng any gold, and the few who did succeed, did so by wash ing the sand and debris, and collecting the . small par ticles of gold as they made their appearance. The loca lity is distant from the nearest, village about twenty-five miles, and nine miles from the nearest dwelling-house ; hence there is some inconvenience getting to the spot, through the immense forest surrounding it. That there is gold, of the very finest quality, on the banks of the Tangier, admits of no doubt whatever ; but it is found in such very small quantities as to fail to induce men to dig for it. The quartz in which it is seen is so hard as to defy breaking it up or pounding it in the ordinary way. Probably with powerful machinery the thing could be done, but we have no such machinery in this country, and again we have not enterprise enough for such an undertaking. The gold as yet collected was taken from the banks and bed of the stream, the largest nugget weighing only three-quarters of an ounce. Notwithstanding the small returns at the diggings, a steamer is put on the passage from Halifax to Ship Harbour, the nearest point to the diggings, making the run three times a week. The Hon. Joseph Howe, Provincial Secretary, was at the diggings last week, and announced that the Provincial Government would not interfere With the diggers in their labours, nor make any claim on their good luck— only if they should find nuggets, to be sure and report their success to the Government, who in the meantime had no idea of charging any "royalty" or other tax for their hard labours. VERDICT FOR MR. J. 0. I.EvF.R.—The great record of " Hartnett v. Lever," the trial of which occupied three days, and excited considerable interest, terminated on Friday evening in a verdict for the defendant The plaintiff was a passenger on board the Indian Empire, and the action was brought to recover damages, laid at £2OOO, for breach of contract, work and labour, and alleged ill-treatment during a voyage of 45 days from New York to Ireland. It will be remembered that the vessel 'encountered very tempestuous weather, and with great dif6ctilty reached land. The jury brought in a verdict substantially for the defendant on all the issues. IMMORALITY AND CRIME: SINGULAR COMBINATION —Four young women of Sedgeley, near Dudley, named Newell, Wheeler, Hunt, and Bond, the daughters of re spectable parents, being in a condition that threatened disgrace to themselves and families, combined their re sources and obtained from a chemist a drug of which each partook with the object of procuring abortion. Hunt, wlio 4 is about 17 years of age, had a miscarriage on Saturday, and her recovery is doubtfq. Similar results were expected in the cases of the o th er th ree young wome, who were dangerdangerously; ill ;the fou r i : equ i r - ing unremit ting attendance from two surgeons to prevent, if possible, fatal results, COURT AND TABLE TALK. STERNE.--The celebrated writer Sterne, after being long the idol of this town, died in a mean lodging, without a single friend who felt interest in his fate except Becket, his bookseller, who was the only person that attended his interment. He was buried in a grave yard near Tyburn, belonging to the parish of Maryle bone, and the .corpse being marked by some of the resurrection men (as they are called), was taken up soon afterwaris, and carried to an anatomy professor of Cambridge. A gentleman who was present at the dis section, told me he recognised Sterne's face the moment :he saw the body.—Life of 3falone. EMBELLISHMENTS OF PARIS.—The terrace on the water side of the garden of the Tuileries is now opened to the public. On the eastern extremity of this terrace, before the orangerie, the following works of art have been placed :—Hercules killing the hydra of Hernaca, the cowering Venus, and the reposing Cleopatra--in bronze. The statues of Alexander the Great, Telma in the role of Augustus, of the Centaur, and the group of wrestlers, are in white marble ; and so are two groups, six statues and five groups in basso-relievo from Sebas topol, four vases, the Death of Lais, by Meusnier ; Atlas, by Thisdon; Phmtu.s, and other marbles of great value. THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—The malady of the King has become sensibly worse during the last week, and it is generally feared that the life of the illustrious patient is now fast drawing to its close. The physical pains from which his Majesty has been suffering have rather decreased, but the mental derange rent has become greater than ever before. The King is now said to be under the influence of visions and hallucinations of a fearful nature. Sometimes . at night he will start up from his couch, and, addressing the imaginary spirits around him, will fill the air with his cries; and then, again, at another time, he will sit for whole days and nights in a state of complete tatit)or, taking no refreshment and uttering no sound. The gardens of Sans-Souci, where, until within lately, he used to be. wheeled about in a chair on rollers, now see him no more, and he is, to all appearance, dead already to the outer world. Visitors, walking on the rose-crowned terraces of the New Palace, sometimes see a thin shadow, pale and trembling, flitting in front of the windows, above, and are overcome with involuntary awe, on being told—" Das its der kranke Konig !" And all this at the favourite residence of the most genial of Prussian kings, the place built expressly to banish cares—Sans- Souci.--Berlen correspondent of the Cowl News, MANSLAUGHTER BY A SCHOOLMASTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. On Monday, at the Lewes Assizes, Thomas Hopley, forty-one yews old, a person of gentlemanly appearance, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of the man slaughter of Reginald Channel Cancellor. This case created the most intense interest, and the circumstances will he familiar to most of our readers. The following resume, however, from the Times will revive recollection of the circumstances. The prisoner, we may state, was found guilty, and sentenced to four years' penal servi tude. . Reginald Channel Cancellor was the son of a man of fair position in society. His father sought out for him a school of reputation and a master who had the credit of being a man of high attainments and a successful teacher of youth. Mr.' Hopley was to receive £lBO a-year with his pupil, and there was every incentive, therefore, to the tutor to endeavour to do his best by the boy. Unfortunately, he did not understand the, lad who had come under his control. Young Cancellor was labotir ing under disease. He had water on the brain. He was stolid and stupid, and he could not learn. He was silent when asked to repeat a sum in arithmetic which he had just been taught, and he did not know, or, as his schoolmaster thought, affected not to know, the difference between a sixpence and a shilling. This was a case for medical custody and gentle treatment. Mr. Hopley took a pedagogue's view of it, and thought it was a case of obduracy, to be broken down by force. He flogged the boy, and, as it did him no good, he told the father that the punishment must be increased until the autho rity of the schoolmaster was established. One morning young Cancellor was found dead in his bed. The body was carefully covered over. It had white kid gloves upon its hands, and long stockings drawn far up over the thighs ; nothing was visible but the face. Hopley suggested that the boy had died of the disease of the heart, and wished a certificate from the surgeon, and immediate burial. At one moment it appeared likely that the whole affair would be hushed up. But myste riOus stories of midnight shrieks and blood-stained in struments of punishment began to be whispered about. The servants had seen blood upon the linen in Mrs. Ilopley's room, and had heard sounds which convinced them that the miserable wife had spent the night in the frightful task of preparing the body to pass a superficial investigation, and in getting rid of the traces oT vio lence which would testify against her husband. Then came the real investigation. The gloves and the stockings were stripped off, and the legs and the arms of the corpse were found to be coated with extravasated blood, " the cellular membranes under the skin of the thighs were reduced to a perfect jelly; in fact, all torn to pieces and lacerated by the blows that had been inflicted." There were two holes in the right leg, about the size of a sixpence and an inch deep, which appeared to have been mad e by j o bbi ng a t hi c k stick into the flesh. The appearance was that of a human creature who had been mangled by an infuriated and merciless assailant. 411 these appearances coincided but too faithfully with what was now learnt of the oonduot of the schoolmaster. A servant girl who slept next to the pupil.voom heard the boy crying and screaming Under blows, and her master talking and beating. She listened at ten o'clock, when the torture was going on, and she awoke at twelve, and it was still proceed ing. Then the cries suddenly ceased, and nothing after was heard during that unquiet night hut the stealthy movements of thg wife, who was, with womanly devotion, doing her fearful task of hiding the traces Qt the tragedy. There is nothing to be said for this man. Every one must feel that four years of penal servitude' is by no means too severe a sentence for the crime he has committed. It may be true that Hop ley thinks that severity is the only way to break in stubborn boys. But to beat a boy for two hours with a thick stick and a skipping rope, to macerate him, to "prod " him, in private and at midnight, is not disci pline, but murder. The case has come out much worse than the preliminary investigation prepared us to expect, and we hold it up as a warning, not loss to parents than to schoolmasters, At Stafford Assizes, on Monday, three chain-makers were sentenced to five years' penal servitude for the wilful destruction of the bellows at a manufactory in Brierley Hill, belonging to Messrs. William Stewart, of Liverpool, and where non-unionists were emp l oyed, the prisoners at the time being oiit on strike. ANOTHER STEAWiER WRECKED. -On Saturday a telegram was received from Vigo, communicating the wreck of the screw steamer Jovellanos, which got on a reef of rocks in the bay of that port on Friday, and re mained. She was on a voyage to London, and left Barcelona on the 7th, Her keel is reported to have been carried away, and the ship is dichqgiug her cargo. DESTRITCTIVE FIAT:. IN NOTTINGHAM.—OR Saturday night the premises of Messrs. White Brothers, lace manufacturers and merchants, Warser-gate, Notting ham, were almost entirely destroyed by tile ; and goods, consisting of fancy laces and edgings, Spanish mantillas, &c., were consumed or irreparably damaged to the amount of from £6,000 to £414(100. THE COAL SUPPLY TO THE METROPOLIS.—The quantity of coal carried to the metropolis for the . six months ending July 1 has been 714,838 tons, 3 cwt., against 582,054 tons 13 cwt. for the corresponding period of 1859. Of this the London and North Western car ried (in round numbers) 324,619 tons ; the Great North ern, 255,120 tons ; the Eastern Counties, 56,061 tons ; the Great Western, 32,686 tuns; the Midland, 24,931 tons ; the South Western, 9,438 tons ; the South Eastern 8,221 tons; the Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable, 3,283 tons. The case of David Wemyss J obson, who has been under examination at the Westminster Police Court for some time past on the charge of having published some gross libels on Sir James Fergusson, M.P., was again gone into on Monday. The major portion of the sitting was occupied with the examination of Sir James Fer gusson, who gave a point-blank denial to all the state ments vOiich had been made against him by the defendant. Sir James was subjected to a long and extraordinary cross-examination, after which Mr. Jobson was commit ted flu trial. THE ZOUAVES LONDON.—The Zouaves—who are announced as about to commence at the Princess's Theatre a series of performances in Landon, will, we have no doubt, produce a considerable sensation. Their theatrical entertainments in the Crimea were patronised by the Commander-in-Chief of the allied armies, and tended, more than anything else, to divert the minds of the soldiers from the misery which surrounded them, and to prevent the demoralisation which accom panies military inactivity. At Varna, at Gallipoli, at the Tchernaya, and before Sebastopol, the extem porised performances of the Zouaves were the chief recreation the French troops had ; and so important an element of discipline did the Zouave theatrical troupe become, that towards the close of the campaign, th e members of it were prohibited from arswerin g the call to arms, lest any of them Should be killed. But the bullets of the enemy did their work, neverthe less. Qriginally numerous, their numbers gradually diminished. The sorties of the Batterie Blanch, the Carenage, and the Malakoff, were sericeA aff, a i r s, which interrupted the perfortna,nees, and cost ,...,0re0, July, -Marie, Deleuze, and others, their lives. But Glatigny, Sebastien, Frederick, L uc i en, H et i nger, and teOn; escaped, and are now in London, to away from the smoke and hubbub of tie battle-tiel4, those episodes which cheereci their conipatiion% and helped them to kill Vine itl4!l,l4ei were 41 th , ;... :latches befoie troupe I,s ;oroplete in itself, the I,eru* personages Ltelng represented by one or two of ite Male members. ;~a..■ FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY. KOSSUTH IN PARIS. —According to the Opinion Nationale, Kossuth and his family have arrived in Paris. Alberto Mario has just been appointed by Garibaldi head of the National College of Palermo. Spurgeon's sermons, some of which contain severe remarks on the slave institutions of the United States, had been burnt in the Virginia Court-house. Chateaubriand's sister, the Cauntess de Marigny, whose 100th birthday was notieed some few weeks ago as having made a sensation at Dinan, died at that place on July 17. In the "Almanach Imperial" for 1861, just published, the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, are no longer down in the list of independent States. Their names are not even mentioned. The Quirinal, which arrived at Marseilles on Thurs day from Civita Vecchia, had on board two sons of Queen Christina from Rome, Count Munoz, captain of cavalry, and Count de Orlino. THE FRENCH EXPEDITION TO CHINA.—On the 25th of May the various ships, which had sailed from French ports, had brought to China 6,800 men, or a total of 7,500, of which the French expeditionary corps is to he composed. It is stated that part of the artillery, embarked on board the Frets, has been recovered. POSTPONEMENT OF THE ENROLMENT OF RECRUITS IN FRANCE.—If we are to believe affirmations which seem to be well-founded, says the Penpagatear de Lille, the call to active service of the recruits of 1859, which ought to happen at the end of July, has now been ordered to take place after the harvest only, that is to say, in the last two weeks of September. At the same time the municipal councils are to be elected all over the French empire. WILD ANIMALS IN THE PUNJAUE.—The news from the Punjaub is not of any importance, if we except the alarMing annual loss of life occasioned by the ravages of wild animals. From a tabular statement showing the number of wild beasts destroyed, and the loss of human life caused by them in this province during the past year, we learn, with great regret, that the latter is absolutely appalling. The number of children alone amounts to 467. The largest casualties are principally in the Umritsur division, for the city of that name lost 42 ; Goordaspore, 144 ; and Sealkote, 161.—Bombay Telegraph, Jane 22. MISGUIDED PATRIOTISM.—A letter from Pesth of the 13th July reports the following •—" Yesterday evening most of the students took part in a eharivari.' with which they regaled the ears of the once much cele brated Hungarian actress, Miss Bulyovsky, who lives in this town, and is just now seriously ill. Thisnrtiste has of late gone over to the German stage, and is to enter her new engagement at the Royal Theatre, Dresden, on the Ist of September. When the riot was at its highest, an officer of the police arrived, and ordered the young men to withdraw, but they would not do so until a party of 'soldiers made their appearance." A STRIKE IN LONIBARDY.—A communication by the Messager du Midi states that the operatives in Lombardy are striking for an advance of wages. The printers began, and their example was soon followed by the masons and smiths, who have compelled employers to accede to their demands. Domestic - servants afterwards turned out, and demanded to be paid in francs instead of Milan line of 77e. each. At Modena and Bologna the market people tried to raise their prices, and the consequence was that a number of disorderly boys joined the servants in an attack on the provision stalls, and the pavement was soon covered with broken eggs, fruit, and vegetables. At Como there are nearly 4,000 persons usually engaged in the silk manufacture, who have all struck for higher wages, and as they hays nothing, to live on, the town is obliged to feed them: TRH JESUITS.—A letter from Rome, of the 14th, pub lished by the Monde, says :—" The Jesuits are merci lessly expelled from Sicily. There were 308 of them, and they left, followed by the regret of every respectable person in the island. They were compelled to pay an exorbitant surn for their passage from Palermo to Rome, in a sailing vessel, which was five' days making the voyage. A Maltese, whose piety recalls the days of Pagan persecution, entreated several of these worthy monks to go on board his ship, and to sanctify his house by living with him at Malta till the return of peace. A few of them accepted the offer. Others, whose health and age require a southern climate, are gone to Spain ; the younger portion, on leaving Rome, proceeded to Louvane, and Presburg, in Hungary. The same 'fate will befall the Jesuits of the kingdom of Naples, 196 in number. The Constitutional Government has already dismissed them from the colleges of which they had the direction." THE REBELS IN INDIA.—We understand that a party of Mayne's Horse, under Captain Bradford, had a fight with a body of rebels on the ith instant, near Ragoo ghur, in which Lieuenant Jennings was shot through the heart. The rebels, supposed to be the debris of Tantia Topee's followers, came down from Jaktun, crossing the Betwa river, near Bhilsa, and then passed up by Seronje. We presume that this is the same body that has been disturbing the little Raj of Banswarra.— Bombay Standard, June 22. The Bonbay Telealaph of the same date says :—" The Begum of Elude is not dead as was reported. She is alive, and is hale and hearty ; but apparently quite sick of the miserable life she is leading in the hills, where she is deprived of all Asiatic luxuries. Her son, Birjiskuddur, is said to be unwell. The native impression is that the Goorkhas will, on no account, give up the Begun], because the Ranee of Lahore was not given up by them when she was demanded by government. Ferozeshali, one of the Delhi Shazadahs, and the colleague of Tantia Topee during his declining fortunes, has managed to elude all his pursuers, and to reach a haven of temporary safety. He arrived at Candahar in March last ; and after a short sojourn there, proceeded on to Persia ; whence, we suppose, he will proceed Mecca-wards—being a religions zealot, rather than a political intriguer." How TO CURE MONOMANI A.-A painful case has been submitted to the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Roehefort :—" A Spaniard, represented to be of ex cellent family, and possessed of a good income, named de la I 3 was accused of stealing a silver spoon and fork from the table d'h3te of the Hotel du Bacha, in that town. The robbery was clearly proved, and the man himself admitted the fact. Moreover, various articles of plate, which also turned out to be stolen, were found irk his trunks. But his advocate contended that he ought not be condemned, inasmuch as he had committed the robbery under the influence of monomania, which he could not resist. In proof of this, the learned gentleman stated that in Spain, for numerous robberies of the like kind, he bad been con demned altogether to not fewer than thirty-two years' imprisonment; but, in consideration of his mental infirmity, had been pardoned by the Crown. He stated, too, that though unable to abstain from stealing, the prisoner never sold the articles abstracted, but kept them for a time, and then sent them back, carriage paid, to the owners. As a further proof that the unfor tunate man was not a thief, but a monomaniac, the counsel mentioned that when he came into France he was charged by a friend to remit 11,000 f. to a banker at Marseilles, and that he executed the mission with the strictest fidelity, but could not resist stealing a silver fbrk at a table d'h3te ! Notwithstanding all tins, the tribunal held that the monomania was not sufficiently proved, and condemned the prisoner to five years' imprisonment." THE NEAPOLITAN PRISONS.—A Naples correspon dent of the Nord gives details of the horrors of the Neapolitan prisons :—" The recent. amnesty, by opening the doors of numerous prisons, has revealed the horrors which took place there, and the state in which they were kept, a state far surpassing the frightful description given of them by Mr. Gladstone. Many of the unfor tunates who have just emerged into daylight were fear ful to see-,emaciated, stupid, 'indecently naked, as they Were. Hair, and beard, and nails of many years' growth, rendered still more frightful these victims of police ferocity. Fourteen young men had been kept four years in solitary confinement, and their sole fault was that of having been at college with Agesilao Milano, who had.left college six years when he attempted. the late king's life. Many of these, though they were not 30 years old, had quite grey hai,r. rant all their suffer ings are nothing in comparison to those of the gendarme Attanasio D,ranitrus, a friend of Milano's. Solely and unjustly inculpated in the attempt of the latter by friendly letters which he had addressed to him, in perfect ignorance of his intentions, this unfortunate wan was kept shut up in the damp and filthy dax i g eous o f Santa Maria Apparente for four years, without seeing a living soul or hearing a humaa, wkioe. Once in 24 hours an invisible hand gave him a morsel of bread and a drop of water For some time after his release this Irian re, niained in a state of bewilderment at the daylight and life aronnd him. He has now set off to serve under Garibaldi, and .Longo and Dilifrarki, who were 13 years in prison, have also left with the smile intention." EMIGRATION Tu CANADA.—The whole number of emigrants who sailed for Canada in 1859 was 8,781, and, 12 births and 15th deaths having occurred on the voyage, the number that landed in .the colony veal 8 ,77 8 ; of these 1,720 . were cabin and 7,058 steerage passengers ; 1,583, or 92 per cent., of the catii.p passengers, and 2,724, or 38.49, per cent., of the steerage passengers were con veyed in the st eam , s hip s w hi c h sa il periodically i r ese Liverpool and Glasg ow f or the St. Lawrence. Thee. vessels made the voyage on an average from er ation of 1858 in 11 days, and from Glasgow in id. Th that of 1859 showed a 1858 having amounted to 12,506, decrease of 3,81,5 ; the decrease iwaasyifirionitheteemi:dr)e:taionnd from the Invited Kingdom (especially from itl th ittl e former from Sweden and Norway,eat ail " the latter to nearly c ,___ . o; th o se assisted to emigrate case to nearly 33 34 per cent.

This abandonment, it is said, is caused by General Harney's forcible seizure of some of the com pany's property, an d h i s declaration that the company has no right, and has had none during the last year, to occupy the :End which they claim in the territory. The abandonment is accompanied by a protest, which, we presume, must go to headquarters ; so here is another subject, for international grumbling and quarrel betwe to John Bull and Brother Jonathan.—Alta California. CAUSE OF THE RECENT INDIAN WAR--Sever San Francisco newspapers attribute the recent Carson Valley war against the Indians to the brutal treat ment of the aborigines by the frontiersmen. Tb original is represented to have been the finding of : house lately inhabited by white people burned to th ground, with the bones of its former oecupan among the ashes. This occurred at Williams station in Carson Valley. The conclusion was at oa e formed that the Indians were the aggressors— a assumption that seems to have had no valid foundation The frontier settlements are infested by reckless adven turers, who shoot down or otherwise maltreat the Indians without the least compunction. The San Francisco Herald well says that "the savages requ protection from the more brutal of their white neigh bolus quite as much as the whites require it from Is Indians. It is evident that the government :thou without delay, make some provision for the sure an summary punishment of white as well as Indian scoun drels who provoke these conflicts."
