THE DAY'S NEWS.

The House of Lords, last night, after some discussion,
agreed to the second reading of the Jews' Act Amend-
ment Bill, the object of which is to prevent the necessity
of a separate resolution whenever a Jew takes his seat
in the House of Commons. The Indemnity and the
Local Taxation Bills were also read a second time ; and
the Law and Equity Bill was read a third time and
passed. Some conversation took place on a motion by
the Earl of Mayo, as to the state of Holyhead harbour,
and their lordships then adjourned.
The morning sitting of the House of Commons was
occupied with the consideration in committee of the
Bankruptcy Bill. At the evening sitting, in reply to
a question by 4r. Corry, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer declared that the qoyertiment could not consent to
the proposed transfer -of the qa4a,y- stop packet
contract to the Montreal Company. gir It. Peel moved
for an address for copies of papers relating to the
threatened annexation of Sicily to Piedmont, declaring
that the only result of such a step" would be the
establishment of French to the detriment of British
interests. Lord John Russell made a non-committal
reply. For the remaining proceedings of the evening
we wefer to the ample telegraphic report which we give
elsewhere • •
The news from Naples is to the 7tb of July. The
executive government appear distracted ; and it was
decided on the day previously to offer the constitution
of 1812 to the Sicilians. According to the idea of the
Government, the relations between Italy and Naples
would be precisely those of Norway and Sweden—one
)4n, two separate constitutions, parliaments, armies,
and administrations. It is further stated that England
and France have been informed of t 4 propositions, and
have been requested to give their good offiees, and the
answers have been received. France assents ; England
hesitates until an unconditional promise is given not to
i-enew hostilities against Sicily. The Neapolitan
Goveirnment rir stated to be really enxious to disembar-
rass itsqf of foreign troops ; *9 means of doing this
are not yet evident. Besides, the King has a strong
repugnance to allow the army, which he regards as his
own individual instrument, to be placed under constitu-
tional control. The 259 or police agents from
.S,i.eily,sovtined on the Isle of Capri, had broken out,
and .were abeut to tufdet
,all the English tourists and
bathers. The plot was fertanateli discoyered, time
to preyeAlt 1.0 execution.
ju the we4tipile we have obtained an insight into
the part which 100144 itll)9feoli is Pking. An anti-
Garibaldian article appears in the Outiqlityti9viel of
Wednesday morning, and no doubt is felt as to its
official inspiration. The Comfit utionnel tells the
Italians that it has no patience with them ; that the
,cause of Italian independence, after having for a brief
period .epitte(il the enthusiasm of Europe, has now
become a hore ; and that t,!ke interniinable question must

be settled " one wn %iitititbef4.!: :tcrly, so the

intelligence of the day. ,Our deinestid-ffeivi is of varied
interest.

A memorial, signed by a vast number of lay members
of the Church of England) will shortly be • presented to
Visconnt Palmerston on the subject of an increase of the
episcopate in England and Wales. The memorialists do
not contemplate any increase of the number of bishops
in Parliament; and they are of opinion that an income
of £3,000 Oer annum would suffice for the endoWment of
any new, episcopal see, so long as the bishop of that see
was not called to the discharge of parliamentary duties,
and that on his succession in the course of time to a seat
in the House of Peers au addition of £5OO a year should
.be made to the episcopal income. The dioceses of Lon-
don, Lincoln, Exeter, Durham, Worcester, Gloucester,
and Bristol are mentioned as requiring subdivision.
Some light, but what it 'is has not yet transpired,
appears to have been cast upon the mystery of the Frome
murder ; the result of a stringent qamipation of each
member of -Mr. boyehold, lavjng led to .the

arrest of • the nurse girl, Elilabeth Gough, On suspicion.
•
It is stated that previous to being informed of the deci-
sion of the magistrates, the girl was apparently in the
highest spirits at the house where the several witnesses
stopped, and talked in a very off-hand manner of how
she should have enjoyed herself at the haymaking, had
:not this " business" occurred. the sog she was so
conscious of her innocence in the matter, that she should
not be afraid to go. before a hundred judges, and be
examined. On being told that she would be detained
for the present, she fell senseless to the ground. On
coming to her senses, Mr. Foley eogyppd het to Trow-
bridge, where she reinains at present in the police sta-
tion, but is not treated as a prisoner.
A correspondent of the Freeman's Journal, writing
on _Monday .from Kilmillock, states that he has just
returned from travelling extensively oyef peflirtgv the
largest potato-growing iihiptry in the Sohth of Ireland,

that the potato crop is already seriously affected with

The volunteer enthusiasm in Ireland has been 810-
deply checlied in the bud by an official announcement
that there is no foundation for the statement that the
Gcvernment has determined to sanction the enrolment
of rifle corps in the sister island. As active measures
had been taken, more particularly in Dublin, for forming
caps, much disappointment
swill be felt at the official
dkivowal of an hon. and gallant gentleman's alleged
assurance that Mr. Sidney Herbert had informed him
fiat the Queen was prepared to avail herself of the loyal
aid, voluntary services of her Irish subjects. Colonel
'reach, M.P., appears to be held responsible for

niginating the statement now contradicted, and on being
appealed to on the subject, that gentleman writes :--
When passing through Dublin 4 few days ago,
I told you, and I now repeat the statement, that, in
a conversation I had in the House of Commons with
the Secretary for 'War, he said if Irish Volunteer
Corps were formed he should not refuse to accept
their services ; that, from some communications I had
with Mr. Cardwell, my opinion was, that if the Irish
?eople evinced any strong desire to have this force, he
.would give all the facility in his power to carry out their
sishes. Under these circumstances, I advised that the

natter should at once be brought to issue, by forming
mie.or two corps here, under the 42 George 111. cap.

Curds out, which I did not then know, and which I
much regret, that the (ARA', according to law, is to be
made to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and not to the
Secretary for War. Such an offer has, it appears, been
made, and declined, on the ground that the Executive
Government have not the power of framing regulations
for tine enrOment and orgarilsation of Vollinteer corps
in Ireland. As this is the only apparent objeCtion to

Lord Hardwicke, in a letter, to the Daily News, defends
rimself from the misconstruction put upon his speech
n reference to volunteering by the working classes..l
Lord Hardwicke happens to hold peculiar opinions upon
tie subject; he states them honestly, and has a right to
naintain them. Some of those, however, who have been
f.remost in reprehending his lordship's views have, at
tie sage time? kceu giving utterance to sentimeilte of a
gossly treasonable character. 3,3,7 e make the following
elraet from a speech delivered at a p abbe meeting
it London, on Tuesday night, by Ur. S. Lucas, the
ceaductor of the 2iforniny Star :—" Lord Palmerston

Jet a rifle be pat into the hands of the 290,000 men in.
London who were able to bear arms, and they would

THE ORANGE ..PROCESSION YESTERDAY.

IF ultra-Protestantism means: a- sincere; unhesi-
tating, and unshrinkingly open protest against
the false doctrines, unjustifiable practices, and
unwarantible assumptions of the Roman Church,
we confess mirseives prepared to enliit under the
banner 6f ultra-Protestantism.

If, however, by that phrase are meant intole-
rance of the opinions of our Roman
•Catholic
fellow-countrymen, and the open or secret perse-
cution of those engaged in the perfOrmanee al'
what they consider to be religious duties, or if it
implies an irritating expression of contempt for,
or a triumphant sneer at, a whole section of the
religious community, then we say we have no
sympathy with such ultra-Protestantism. In the
same manner we may add, that if to be heartily
and unequivocally Protestant, not merely in
theory but in practice, not only in name but in
reality, and to be determined to maintain• that
holy protest in the face of the world and before
every difficulty and danger—at any cost and at
any sacrifice—if that is to be an Orangeman, we
should be proud to own the name and to
support the organisation.: If, on the other hand,
Orangeism proposes to prostitute the powers of
a widely-spread combination for the purpose of
overawing or oppressing our Romish brethren,
whether directly or indirectly, by moral or
by physical force, then we have nothing to
do with grangeism. In short, we do not
believe in extreme views, or ultraisms of any
sort ; or, if we were to make any exception, it
would be in favour of ultra-moderation of senti-
ment and practice generally. With that
mawkish medmvalism which can enly look back-
wards with sighing aspirations for the restora-
tion of ohsnlete and effete ideas and observances
—sometimes called Puseyism or ultra-High
Chnrchisni, on the one hand—And with that bald
and canting Puritanism which con founds religious
freedom with eee.le,siastical isolation, and would
entWely diyoree Christianity from the policy of
the State—which would strip the services of
religion of every outward decency, and reduce
them to a' c )1d and cheerless form, the monotony
of which is relieved only hy individual displays
of ilharisaistri and fanuti;cism„ or by the excited
and disorderly rantings of the mob, on the other—
we have no sympathy. •%Ye regard, with action
the Protestant Established Religion, and the
honour aild welfare of our .Sovereign and country.
t' Church and State" is our motto; and we deiire
to maintain both as essential elements of our
present greatness as a people.
The proceedings of yesterday have reminded us
that the Orange Institntioti, is great fvt. Whe-
ther' we like it oc not, we, cannot ignore it. It is
c'llll7 Wis•cloin to look it straight in the face, and
deal with it as we find it, "The Otange Institu-
-tion,".says the Grand Lodge in a national add;Oss,.
" was so named in honour of the successful enter,
prise. of King William the. Third, Prince
.of
Orange, to whom, under Providence, thee, British
Isles owe their dcl.ivFwe fon; thraldom, spiri-
tu,4l Pll4 political, the .couginied establishment of
the Protestant religion, and the inheritance of
the Brunswick throne.": The objects of the insti-
tution are, "the more efficient protection arid sup-
port of those great and inestimable privileges,
ecclesiastical and_ civil, religious, Apici moral,
social. 41141 • domestic,. .With Which the Supreme
livillg 114 - blest our nation, and which for
centuries it has so happily enjoyed ; and to
transmit them to posterity in all their compre-
hensivenesS, purity, and efficacy." These it has
been proposed to attain. by a 11,1\ian,,, to "defend
by every ti?Vitl, uceon4 the religious and civil
eitablishments of the country." One of the
practical means recognised by this institution
may.. be ascertained from the following injunction,
appointed to be read by the Mastets of Lodges
in, the ritual of iy4-044cticilA, at tbc. snaking of
all new members :—" And it is also required of
you that, should you now,, or at any future
period, be in possession of the elective franchise,
you will support by your vote and interest, on
all occasions, Conservative candidates only, and
iii no wise refrain from voting,—reraembering
our mottos,—'.Measures, not teen; and `. He who
is not with 'OA is winst us.'• your neglecting
to fulfil these conditions will render you
liable to expolsicni," As to the spirit in
which the organisation is conducted, the Grand
Lodge asserts that, " many honest men have
incautiously suffered their minds to be poisoned
against, and stealthily estranged from, the Orange
Institution by aspersions void of truth, and
incapable of proof, either from its principles or
operations. * * '1: \`'e regret an intolerant

spirit. The greatest and wealthiest man would
seek in vain our brotherhood, should he be capa-
ble of persecuting or injuring any one for his
religious opinions, or unwilling constitutionally
to aid and assist every loyal subject, of ichaterer
Agip,44.§. sleasiu, in order to protect him from
violence and oppression."

Such is the official account which Orangeism
gives of itself; and, so far as the theory goes, it
must command the assent and support of every
lover of constitutional liberty, of all who would
maintain our holy religion against superstition
and idolatry, and who would deptecate the spectacle
of a once tree and enlightened people being again
immersed in mental darkness, and groaning under
Papal oppression.

Assertion, however, is no proof. We live in an
age of unfulfilled prcgrammes. Profession and
practice do not always conform to each other.
hit ve we to, think of the Orange procession
of yesterday ? What was
.its object and mode of
attainment a How far was it, or was it not, in
consonance with the truly tolerant programme of
the Grand Lodge? A procession is merely a
physical or material display of numbers and
paraphernalia. It is a dumb show—a pantomime
before a promiscuous audience, many of whom are
invohrntarily forced to see more or less of a
spectacle which is necessarily repulsive to them.
It can conyirm ifylOQ itcads into active
hostility enemies who might otherwise have been
passive. It is a• pastime performed on an area
devoted to other olljects. It usurps the public
roads, for purposes alien to those of fair traffic.
It is thrusting the Protestant fist into the face of
the Catholic neighbour. It defeats its Om Abject
by the adoption of unworthy Weans. It absorbs
the resources of the Institution, to the crippling
of its more legitimate agettei, such pro-
cgssiori in Liverpool actually costs the members
several hundreds of pounds sterling, which, if
properly applied, might effect some real good.
It endangorN the l'Pqq' of the district, and is satis-
fled with a merely superficial excitement, in place
of seeking to secure a rooted conviction. It
wastes, in idle masquerade, resources and ener-
gies which ought to have been devoted to more
permanent and substantial objects. Are we then
to denounce this institution because of its occa:
sional errors or excesses We are iu no Way
connected with the institution, and therefine
have no interest in defending it, save and in so
far as we would defend the cause of truth and
justice; and hi niaiittainlltif that us 4 whole,
it is not to be judged of fronl this one act,
that we are merely doing homage to the sacred
principles it professes to set before its members.
There is one significant fact worthy of polio° 411
connection with yeE;t9ll"`,"('sptler ltty. We refer
to the circumstance that the Most Worshipful
the Grand Master, Capt. G. 14
LA BENTLEY,
so far as we could observe, did not countenance
the display with his RlVoenco. The absenceof
gentleman whose tinprecedented services to the
Institution" are formally acknowledged in the
printed report of the last annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Great Britain, is no doubt to be
construed into a solemn practical protest icy the.

worthy head of the Order against the propriety
and expediency of such processions. After all,
however, is it wonderful that in connection with
a popular Institution, embracing so large a
number of men of all positions of life, there
should be discovered some imperfections and
excrescences requiring to be lopped off ?
Some, indeed, would prefer a little too much
vitality, even when it occasionally shapes itself
into an exceptional course, rather than too much
of that _deathlike propriety, and. stillness which
often arise as much from indifference as from a
sense of decorum and justice. With all its imper-
fections, we cannot but wish the Orange Institu-
tion " God speed," trusting that, through the
faithful services of the moderate and intelligent
Grand Master, and others associated in office
with him, such mistakes as that of yesterday
will be gradually rectified, and that in this, as in
certain other respects, the Order will progress
in its recently-avowed determination to revise and
re-arrange its proceedings "so as to meet the
enlightenment •of the age, and the conscientious
scruples of many members of the Order.'

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(11rona our own Correspondent.)
PARIS, Wednesday Evening,
July 11, 1860.

I shall hope to send you to-morrow some par-
ticulars of the arrangements that are likely to
be made by the commission appointed by the Em-
peror to establish Volunteer. Rifle Corps. It *ill
be rather diffloult to assimilate the institution, in
all respects, to, the English, as it is said to be
intended, but the attempt is to he made.
The members of the Mor)eco embassy were
received to-day by the Emperor. They are three
in numbek, and have been selected by his Moorish
Majesty from among the highest functionaries of
his empire. They are accompanied by a dozen
attendants, and are all comfortably accommodated
and entertained at the expense of the French
government, in a commodious resideuce in the
Rue Beatijon.

The Protestant communities of Paris have just
undergone revorganisatiou, iu consequence of the
extension. of the bounds of the city ; but the
whole city is, as before, divided into two districts
—one on the right and the other on the left bank
of the ruler---Alnder the. names of Penthemont and
St. lVtarie respectively. It is remarked that the
number of Protestant booksellers has considerably
increased of late, and they appear for the most
part to be doing a thriving trade.
Some changes are spoken of as likely in the
Paris magistracy ; M, 4oequiardb, a. uesr relative of
the Chef du Cahin,et of the Emperor coming in;
and no ?e-s, than, three of the Judges of the
SupreMe Coort penal* instance) have given
in their resiguaitions, for what reason I have not
heard, except either in anticipation, or in conse-
quence of, the proposed measure for the diminution
of the number of the judges of the higher tri-
bunals.

The death of Prince. Amine places at the Em-
peror's disposal, amongst other things, the yearly
allowance taut of the Civil List of a million francs
enjoyed.by his late uncle, and as the money voted
for the Civil List is payable in advance, and the
first quarter was due on the Ist of this month,
his Majesty is in additional funds tia that extent.
It is understood to be his intention to apply the
amount in forming an estahlishment for the Prince
Imperial. Nothing is, however, yet decided on
this point, but it is believed that several of the
gentlemen of the household of Prince Jerome will
be thus provided for. Marshal Vaillant is talked
of for the post of Governor of the Prince Imperial, •
and it is said that his educatim will be entrusted
to a bishop who ha.s acquired great celebrity
as a preaeLeT-
In the East there is travelling at this moment
another illustrious youth, whose prospects, when
a child, were scarcely less ambitious and exalted,
and certainly quite as promising. The Count de
Paris, and his brother, the fluke de Chartres,'
arrived at the end of last month at Smyrna from
Beyront, -which the illustrious party seem to have
left shortly before the breaking out of the atroci-
ties-there. They have been travelling incog. with
a Belgian passport, under the names of the. Counts
de Villiers, and are accompanied by MM., de
Beauvoir, de Segur, de Morbtati.ao. and de
Seitiveau. Several French gentlemen resident in
Smyrna offered their services to. the Princes dur-
ing their stay, and the Consul-Generals of Hol-
land, and Norway and Sweden conducted them on
a journey to some places in the neighbourhood.
Their Royal Highnesses seem to to have met with
every possible attention and respect. The Count
de Paris is described as tall and thin, wears a
fair beard, and bears an astonishing resem-
blance to his father. His manners are those of
" lin veritable gentleman." They have, started.for
Athens. I have not seen a worcl on this subject
in any of the Paris journals, and am indebted for
the inforra,ation to a letter which was shewn me
from Smyrna.

I alluded the other day to a collision as likely
to occur between the Corps Legislatif and the se,
nate. I have reason to believe that it is with a
view to postpone, if not to preveutt, th,i,s, that the
session of the latter chamber has been. adjourned.
M. Ernest Dxeolle, in, an article in this day's
Constitutionne maintains that at this moment
Garibaldi's position is not one whit less critical
than that of Francis 11., .and he suggests that the
time has at length arrived, in the interest of Italy
herself, for preventing further intestine strifes by
a really national compromise. He observes that
that there' is something still ketter than that
dognia of absolute Asity of Italy for which such
a predile9tion is evinced; viz., independence, and
he accordingly strongly enforces the acceptance
by Victor Emmanuel, without further coquetry, of
the offer of alliance, offensive and cietbilaiYe,
tendered to him by Francis 11,, which he. says
would be "an act adhesion, tardy, but com-
plete, to the Kihciple of Italian federation.'?
It is stated in the same journal that two courses
of action are at present the subject of considera-
tion by the new Sicilian Akirdstry—the one
proposal is, that the war should be prosecuted
energetically till the Neapolitans are driven out
of Messina, Syracuse, and Augusta; and that at
the same time, steps should be taken for obtaining,
from the representatives of the people a declara-
tion in favour of annexation to Italy and the
other is, to proceed at once to extremities, leaving
the places on the coast still in the occupation of
the Royal troops, and that Garibaldi, at the head
of aslarge, a force as he can muster, should lcin4
upon the continent, attack Naples, upset Francis
11. and his. eovequietit, .and, strengthened beythe
numerous desertions of. the Royal troops, which
are anticipated, invade, the Marches, Ruti
and annihilate at one and the struke, the
GoVerninent of the Xing of Naples and ow p.

IKTMr, to the adoption of the second scheme,
apart from political consideratiqns, is the present
imperfect suite pf trig it*.rrlo ocganisation. of
Sicily, which, it appears, makes it almost impos-
sible for the bictatOr to leave just now. But it is
further rumoured, I know not with what degree
of truth, that Gad declares that the
Neapolitan are not yet ready for him—that after
he Inds that they, like the Sicilians, have main-
tained themselves in a state of insurrection for six
weeks, he will go to them, but not till then. They
must, meanwhile, depend on their own courage.

FRANCE:

PARIS, July 12.
The Moniteur contains the appointment of
Admiral itegault de Genouilly as Senator.
No intelligence has been received here to con-
firm the report that Segnor Bentivoglio, the
French Consul at Beyrout, had received a stab
from a yataghan.
A Toulon letter announces the departure, for
Naples, of two ships of the line, the Algesiras
and the St. Louis,to take the place most probably
of those sent to Syria.

THE CAMP OF CHALONS.
PARIS, July 12.
The manoeuvres which will take place • this
year at the camp of Chalons, are principally
intended to decide wpon the expediency of
transforming all the heavy cavalry of the French
army into light cavalry. The Emperor, after
the last campaign in Italy, entertained the idea
of effecting this transformation, which was, how-
ever, opposed by Marshal Bandon, the war
Minister. To arrive at a decision, it has therefore
been resolved to experimentalise at the camp of
Chalons, and on his return from the baths at
Aix la Chapelle, Marshal Randon will accompany
the Emperor to the camp for this purpose. The
practical experience which may be offered by
these experiments, has induced several foreign
Courts to ask permission of the French Govern-
ment to send military delegates. It is believed
that several German Sovereigns will also be
present, to judge from the preparations which
are being made for the reception of the illustrious
guests.
