EMIGRATION TO AMICRIOA.

Lord E. HOWARD called attention to the subject of
emigration to the Darted Staten of America, in raerepOe to
the prolongation of the war now raging in that country,
and complained of the organised system of fraud and deceit
which was resorted to by Federal agents both in this country
and iu Ireland for entrapping British subjects into the
United States army. He minuted that the geeeromeut
should exert= greater watchfulness and energy, in order to
put down such illegal and lithium= practices, and so assist
in stopping the disgraceful war to which he had alluded.
Mr. LAN'ARD mid that the question was a most difficult
one to Ind with ; in fact it was =possible for the govern.
went to do more than reiterate their warnings and address
a cautioe, which they had done, to emigrants to the United
States respecting the dangers to which they would be ex-
posed upon their arrival on the other side of the Atlantic.
After some observations from Mr. FERRARI/. who
thought the working classes were deeply indebted to Lord Fa
Howard for the words of admiration sod warning he had
addreseed to them,
Mr. LLN MAY pointed out, for the information of young
men who were made the particular objects of the wiles of
the Federal sgenta, that the value of the American dollar
bad fallen from 4s. 2d. to Is. 6d. He also stated that from
the outbreak of the war to the 30th of Jane last, not less
than 2.300,000 had been drafted on the pay roll of the
Federal government, sod that the roll was now at the
outside but 1,000,000. The difference, he famed, was only
to be accounted for by the slaughter which had taken place
in the fruitless attempt to conquer the Southern States,
an object, he believed, that never could by possibility be
accomplished.
Sir R. PEEL thought the discussion was calculated to do
much good amongst the unfortunate persons who were
being made the victims of the unscrupulous sputa
in seducing, wader various pretences, the subject:lr::
Queen to enter the Coiled States army. In Ireland, he
was happy to assure the home, the government of the Lord.
Lieutenant had resorted to measures to check thew prac-
tices that could not fail to be effective.
Mr. P. TAYLOR spoke at some length upon the merits
of the quernl between the Federal and Confederate States,
and expressed a firm conviction that it had originated in the
determination of the former to put down slavery, and
that the North would be successful is the coetest. In
saying this, however, he was satisfied that he spoke the
sentiments of the great mass of the people of this country.
Lord J. MANNERS recommended that the emigration
commissiooen should be instructed to issue a paper of
advice to intending emigrants to America, warning them of
the tremendous perils to which they were exposing them-
selves. He did not believe that the cowetitneuey of Mr.
Taylor sy mpathised in the views which that hon. gentle-
man entertained.
. .

The motion for the address wee thee agreed to.
A conference was then held betweee the two home, on
the subject of certain amendments of the Commons on the
Reg way Construction Facilities Bill and Railway Companies
Powers Bill. _

At the °mansion of the onferenes,
It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. M. Gmsoio, that
the house should not insist on the ameadmenta.

The house adjourned at tweotyNAOS to 7 o'clock to
hell•put 1 o'cicck to-morrow (Friday).

UNivresrrr CoLLEou ScHoor..—Yesterday after-
noon the interesting ceremony of distributing prime to the '
junior pupils of this school took place in the theatre ; Mr.
Torn Taylorpreaiding and distributing the rewards. Prisms
were given for proficiency in Latin, Greek, mathematics,
English, drawing, chemistry, and a vast number of deems ;
the ceremony of distributing the books occupied two hours
and a half. The names of the successful candidates were
read by Professor Key, the head master, and the
theatre during the ceremony was crowded by the parents
and friends of the youths. At the end of the
ceremony Mr. Taylor made a short address to the
boys, in which he summed hi. great eatisfaction at the in-
creasing popularity of the school, and, geerwally, at the ex-
treme liberality of principle on which it was established
and conducted. He alluded, also, to the advantage attend-
ing the emahlishmeot of a social mimes class, and spoke of
the institution as ace which tended more to fit the pupils
fur entrance into the world time any ether educational estab-
lishment. He pointed out the fact that several
of the pupils had obtained prizes in different
classes, thereby showing that it was • mistake
to suppose that evanesce was only to be
attained by the study of one particular Waoch of know-
ledge. He bore testimony to the cosmopolitan character of
the institution, and to the advantage it conferred upon the
people et Indi; by admitting Parsee, aad others. In point
of fact it o no restriction of clam, blood, language,
or creed, admitting all upon au equal footing, and the sem
MIS which it had attained was one which it thoroughly de-
served. He coocladed amidst the clean of the meeting
by reminding the pupils of the debt of gratitude they owed
their masters, an obligation the weight of which they
would probably feel more when they entered into life than
they did now. The proceedings thou terniimatrd.

THE :lux/rerun RAILWAY THROUGH THE ALPS.—
Brim, JILT 16.—Some time back the Federal Council ad-
dressed invitations to the governments of England, Italy,
Baden, Wurtimberg, and Bavaria, in the interest of the
cantons in which the respective St. Gothard mid Lukens-
oier lion are situated, requesting the above-named states to
take the pi °posed rid way through the Alp into considera-
tion, am] to participate in its execution. The majority of
the governments applied to have answered the irivitatioo io
the affirmative without committing themselves to either of
the router, proposed. Bavaria, however, whose answer only
arrived yesterday, decisively advocates the adoption of the
Lukonnier route as moat advaatageous to her ono interests.
The support of Bavaria bus inspired the Swiss advocates of
this route with fresh courap.
LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—
Yesterday, at daybreak, the operatioe of swinging end
fixing the Int girder for this company's viaduct over Lod.
was commenced by the iontraotors, Messrs. Pato
an▪ d Betts, and acoomphAmd skilfully and successfully. A
body of the City police was in attendance under the Fleet-
street superintendent, and the traffic was temporarily
stopped. The great bridge over the Thames approaches

sent rate of program, it is intended to open the line to the

THE MURDERER or MR. Bxtoov.—By a telegram
received yesterday from Liverpool announcing the arrival of
the Moss Rose, we learn that on Monday afternoon, in lati-
tude 51.16 north, longitude 10.15 went taboet6o miles south
west of Caps Clear), she was 'pekoe with by the Victoria,
from tondos to New York. The Victoria rim:mated the
Moss Rose to report her speaking with her upon her arrival
is Liverpool. The Victoria havio,.. only got as for se the
south coast of Ireland on the Ilth day after she left Leaden
is is considered probable that she will have an unusually
10--g pawns, and that both Inspector Tanner, in the City
of Maccitooter, and Inspector Kerressey, oo board the City
of Cork, will have arrived oat long before eh* reaches New
York,Consequently news of the arrest of Muller cannot
be expected in ad before the middle of September. It
is believed that the City,of Cork steamer, with humidor
Kerreasey on board, had waded the Victoria before the latter
was spoken with by the Moss Rose.
