THE DAY'S NEWS,

In the House of Lords, yesterday, Lord Teyn-
ham's motion in favour •of manhood suffrage and
vote by ballot was, of course, negatived without a
division. Several bills were forwarded.

In the House of Commons, in reply to several
questions, Lord John Russell said that when her.
Majesty was advised to dissolve Parliament, the
dissolution extended to Scotland and Ireland as a
matter of course.' The dissolution was altogether
a prerogative of the Crown. According to prac-
tice, a dissolution would follow the passing of any
bill for the reform of the representation, but what
advice would be given to her Majesty on that
point he could not then state. Sir J. Ferguson
moved the adjournment of the debate. Colonel
Dickson protested against the conduct adopted
towards Ireland in the matter. Sir G. Grey
denounced the conduct of the opposition. Lord
J. Manners remarked that it was in the opinions of
members on the Ministerial side that the Govern-
ment found its chief opposition. The Lord-
Advocate opposed the motion for adjournment.
Mr. Bright implored the House to pass a measure
which was in every way safe and moderate. Lord
Palmerston reviewed the course adopted towards
the Reform Bill. He hoped that the bill would,
nevertheless, be carried to a successful conclusion
before the end of the session. Mr. Disraeli argued
at much length that the fault of delay lay at the
door of the Government and their partisans.
After some remarks in reply from Lord John
Russell, the House divided, when the' numbers
were : For adjourning the debate, 248 ; against,
269 --- majority against, 21. • Mr. Baillie
Cochrane moved that the House should adjourn.
The division was immediately taken, when the
motion for adjournment was again negatived by
267 to 222—majority, 43. The motion for
adjournment was, however, renewed, and, Lord
Palmerston assenting, the debate was adjourned
to Monday next. The orders for the second
reading of the Scotch and Irish reform bills were
discharged. The other business was disposed of,
and the House adjourned at 3 3
An English steamer had arrived at Marsala,
from Queenstown, conveying 60 volunteers,
4,000 rifles, and £l,OOO for Garibaldi. Nothing
positive is known on the subject of the armis-
tice. According to some despatches it is pro-
longed indefinitely, while others state it is
only to the 7th inst. The Malta Observer, of
June 2nd, says it was the Neapolitan general
that asked an armistice, in order to bury the
dead. General Garibaldi, and his adjutant Turr,
at once proceeded on board H.lll.'s ship Hannibal,
where a conference of all the superior officers
was held, and an armistice of 24 hours was
agreed on. Subsequently, the Neapolitan general
asked that it should be extended to three: days,
which Garibaldi not only accepted, but offered
to prolong it for three weeks.
We learn by way of Geneva; that immediately
after the annexation of Nice and Savoy, France
will address a note to the powers notifying the
fact, and demanding a reply as a recognition of
of the annexation by Europe.
Sir. Henry Buiwer informed the English mer-
cantile body, at a levee at Constantinople, held
May the 24th, that he had been requested by the
French Ambassador, M. De Lavalette, to inform
the English merchants, that he never said what
had been represented; and that, far from express-
ing any fears, he had, on the contrary, encouraged
the French merchants to continue their operations,
provided they were, as he doubted not, of a
legitimate mercantile and industrial nature.

The Paris correspondent of the Times, in a
review of the alleged tendencies of France to
war, says the nation is indifferent even to the
question of the Rhenish frontier. A war with
England would perhaps be popular for a few
weeks, but assuredly on condition of its being
invariably successful, and as short as possible--
shorter even than the campaign in Lombardy.
The EmPeror of the French is not one of those
who believe that we have degenerated. Any
struggle between Great Britain .and France
must be a struggle for life or death,—not
a campaign, but a war perhaps equal in duration
to the last, in which all Europe would probably
be involved. France is not likely to rush into
Such a war merely to satisfy a faded rancour.
The writer is incredulous as
to the desire of the
French people and army to be constantly at
war, and particularly at war with England.
The war with Russia was viewed' with indif-
ference by the nation, and the war with Austria
Was regarded with marked dissatisfaction at the
commencement, and with disappointment at the
end. The people know what ruin would follow
from a war with a country like England.

From Frankfort, we learn that the French

Government has requested the Belgian Cabinet
to make proposals, with the object of concluding
a commercial treaty.
