TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1860.

THE DAY'S NEW.

In the House of Lords yesterday it was agreed
that the House should not read any bill a second
time after Tuesday, 17th July, except bills of and
on supply, or bills in reference to which the
House shall have passed a previous resolution.
Lord Brougham referred to the report that a
large force of French troops ;as about to be
sent to Naples. This rumour, he observed, had
occasioned much alarm and excitement both
in this country and in France, and he enquired if
Government had any information to give on the
subject. Earl Granville assured the noble and
learned lord that the rumour in question was
totally without foundation, and he was persuaded
that the French Government entertained no inten-
tion of the sort alluded to. Several bills were

brwarded.
In the House of Commons, yesterday, it was
agreed on the motion of Lord Palmerston, that on
all future Fridays during the session Government
orders of the day should have precedence of notices
of mo tions. Mr. Griffiths was commenting on the loss
of prestige which has of late years befallen the
cavalry, which was mainly due to the extension
to the rest of the army of the distinctive privilege
of wearing a moustache, when the hon. member
was cut short by the interference of the Speaker.
Mr. Digby Seymour called attention to the posi-
tion and pay of the civil assistants employed on
the ordnance survey. Mr. Sidney Herbert con-
tended that, all things considered, the men had
been adequately paid. Mr. E. James called the
attention of the House to the fact of the enlistment
now going on in Ireland to furnish the Pope
with troops in Italy. He declared that it was
time that the Government should show whether
they were powerless or not to prevent this fla-
grant violation of the law, and protested against
the open and indecent manner in which the
Irish priests avowed their allegiance to the
Pope, and set Government and Parliament
equally at defiance. The terms of the Foreign
Enlistment Act were clear and express ; the act
itself had occasionally been suspended, but it
had never before been directly and openly set
at nought. The matter was exciting the atten-
tion both of this country and of Europe, and
the Ministry were bound to declare that they
intended to sanction the proceedings, or else
to admit their incompetency to check them.
Mr. Cardwell explained the circumstances
of the case. When the movement was first made
known to them they issued not a proclama-
tion, but a police notice' as to what the
law really was, and what persons were pro-
hibited from doing. At the same time, they
gave orders to the constabulary to enforce
the law, and reports from them had been regu-
larly received by the Government, and as regu-
larly submitted to the law officers of the crown,
but there had not been a single case in which those
officers thought a prosecution could be founded

Mr. V. Scully detailed from the Irish papers the

jovial position of the recruits who were treated
sumptuously on their travels, and when put in
prison on account of passport deficiencies, were
there regaled on roast beef and fowl and green
peas, and were very sorry to leave it. Mr.
M'Mahon called on the Government, if they put

down enlisting for the Pope to put down at the

same time the equally illegal subscriptions to.

Garibaldi.

The Emperor arrived at the Tuilleries at ten
o'clock yesterday morning. A council of ministers

was held immediately afterwards.
A conference was held on Sunday afternoon at
the residence of the King of Bavaria, and was
attended by the four kings, and by the Grand
Dukes of Hesse Darmstadt and Nassau. Before

dinner the Emperor Napoleon presented the
grand cordon of the Legion of Honour to the
King of Hanover. In the evening there was an
assemblee at the villa of the Duchess of Hamilton.

At this assemblee the Emperor took leave of the

sovereigns, all of whom were present, and

departed at ten p.m. for Strasbourg.
The Prussian Gazette says it was the desire of
the Emperor Napoleon, expressed in the most

obliging terms, to greet the Prince Regent on
German soil, and to give to him this proof of his

peaceful and friendly sentiments• The Congress

of eminent German princes at Baden is another

auspicious event which, proves that on questions
of national independence and greatness the north
and south of Germany are indissolubly linked.

The result of the conference at Baden revives the

confidence in a prosperous and future for
Enropeyfavd at the tiame time consolidates one of
the most.payti'erfAillainstays of that future—the
union of German?'
The:' Post Sayi according to an official.
.telegraphic despatch from Naples, the King is so
much annoyed at the; reception M. de Martino
has met with at Paris, together with the language
used by Lord Palmerston, tut to have caused his
Majesty to declare that he would reconquer Sicily
or lose his crown. • - • • -

The brother of the Emperor of Morocco, with
the Moorish Ambassador, and a suite of fifteen
persons, have disembarked at Marseilles. They
will leave for Paris to-day or to-morrow.
The replies of Lord Overstone to queries put
to him by the National Defence Commissioners as
to his opinion of the probable effects of the emu-
pation of London by an invading army have
been published. His lordship says—" I cannot
contemplate or trace to its consequences such a
supposition. My answer is, it must never be."
Lord Overstone does, hoWever, state, at consider-
able length, his impressions as to the results of
an invading army occupying London, and. being
in possession of the centre of our governmental
and financial system. The case being put,
private property being respected, the occu-
pation being purely military, Lord Over=
stone thinks that in, that case, suppose there
would exist a prevalent feeling that the fatal
blow had been struck, that the deep humiliation
had been sustained, that the means of satisfying

his exactions are under the command of the
enemy, that the means of further and effectual
resistance are doubtful, while the calamities
attending it are certain and overwhelming, Lord
Overstoue fears that the efforts of a country thus
humiliated, paralised, disspirited, and divided in
opinion, would not lead to any satisfactory
result. Our riches, the complicated nature of
our social and monetary system, the limited
extent of our country, the necessity of in-
ternal order, and confidence for the main-
tenance of our manufacturing population,
would, it is feared, be found to render a prolonged
conflict upon our own soil perhaps impracticable,
at all events fatal to all that constitutes the
power, the wellbeing, and the happiness of the
country. These considerations, Lord Overstone
says, show the great inducements we have to
make our system of national defences complete.
The. new act for refreshment houses and wine
licenses, which received the royal assent on the
14th inst., contains forty-six sections, and the new
duties are to commence from and after the Ist of
July, 1860, so that the actual operation of the
new law will be on the 2nd of July.
On Sunday night there was another fierce dis-
turbance at the Parish Church of St. George's-in-
the-East.

The Lord Chancellor has ordered the various
offices of his court to be closed on Saturday, in
consequence of the Volunteer review.

The investigation into the Vansittart and
alleged case of Proselytism, at Norwich, has been
further postponed. It is said that Sergeant
Shee has been retained on behalf of Canon
Dalton.

Yesterday morning's papers contain a long re-
port of the sumptuous festival given on Saturday
to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the First or
Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards. The Prince
Consort presided, and about 200 guests sat down
to dinner. Many speeches were made and toasts
proposed in the course of the evening. The
health of Lord Combermere was drank as the
last surviving officer who was present with the
Grenadiers at the battle of Lincelles.

While admitting that any gloomy anticipa-
tions respecting the weather may soon be
dispelled, it is expected by some persons that
the wheat harvest will be three weeks or a
month later than usual, and deficient in
quantity, and at the same time, the breadth of
wheat sown this season is considerably below the
average. Heavy rains have again fallen, and the
temperature resembles that ordinarily experienced
in March and April.
A public meeting will be held this evening in
the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, to petition
the House of Commons, and protest against what
is called the usurpation. of taxing powers by the
House of Lords.
