THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE IN IRELAND.

The Earl of LEITRIM said he wished to ask leave
to introduce a bill for the better preservatioo of life
in Ireland. The noble earl said the bill had nothing to do
with bayonets or rifles ; but that it wu one simply for the
purpose of giving compensation to the friends of those per•
sons who might lose their lives through agrarian outages.
The bill would make the wishes reepooaible for the injuries
inflicted. It was of a eery harmless character. There was
nothing in it which was unconstitutional, or that anybody
could object to.
The bill was read a first time.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Mr. V. SCULLY, after the mast satiefactcey simmer
which had been given with respect to the distress' in Lem-
whit*, wanted to know whether with raped to the
greater distress in Ireland, and the lase means of meeting it,
the HOMO Secretary would take care that that distress
would be inquired into, and that some legislation should be
brought forward to relieve the distress to that country as
well as the distress in England ?

Sir G. GREY said the government had made careful
inquiry into the condition of the West of Ireland, and did
not think the result had been such as to satisfy the govern-
ment of the neomsity of having reomuse is that case to the
measure which was motioned by parliament some years
ago for meeting distress by rates in aid from adjoining
parishes.

ITALY.

The address of the Italian chamber to King
Victor Emmanuel, on the occasion of the marriage
of the Princess Pia, is as follows :
By this happy family alliance, the King and Italy give a
pledge of affection to a dynasty and people who were our
faithful friends in the days of adversity, and were the first
to hail the awakening of Italy. The daughter of a King
and a people who have taught the world how great nations
are formed, will be on the throne the worthy companion of
a prince to whose virtues the affection of his people and
the respect of civilised satins render homage. This happy
union is the presage of the glorious destinies which await
the regenerated Latin civilisetioe.

BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS ACT AREND-

lIENT BILL.

Lord J. MANNERS inquired what course the govern.
moot propped to take with regard to this bill.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that when he moved the second
reading he was led to believe that there was a general
assent to the measure. He had since found that great dif-
ference of opinion existed upon the subject, and therefore,
at that late period of the session. be should advise those
who brought the measure forward not to press It further
this year. (Hear, hear.)

FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EXPENSES)

The house then went into committee on the Fortifica-
tions (Provision for Expenses) Bill.
Sir G. C. LEWIS proposed to negative the sehednle, and
would adapt it to the proviso which had been agreed to at
the previous discussion:_
.

Siir F. Bum and Mr. OSBORNE objected to going on
with the *Module as amended without further considera-
tion.

Mr. OSBORNE naiad whether it wee not the or..
that the fouodatioue of two of the forts at Spitheed had
Runk ? and be put this as a point to show that opportunity
should be afforded for diacussing each fort in detail.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said any such discussion could take
place on the report, which ought be fixed for Friday. The
defects in the forte alluded to, such as they were, had been
made good.
After further dimension the schedule was negatived, and
the one substituted haviag been put,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved that the chairman report
programa
On a division, the motion for reporting progress was
*spliced by 108 to 78.
r. MONSELL proposed that the sum of 110,0031, for
the forts on Portedown Hill be reduced by 70,0001.
A debate followed, the features of which were merely
identical with those which have been represented so often
in the discussion of the ques:ion ; and on a division the
amessiment was 'spliced by 132 to 50, and the schedule
was agreed to.
Before the bons resumed,
Mr. OSBORNE once more made some observations on the
general question, and against the whole scheme of fortifica-
tions, and stated that he should offer no further vain opposi-
tion to the mesas; and, afters few words more in reply by
Sir G. C. Lewis, and some remarks from Lord A. VMS
Tempest, and Sir E. Colebrooke, the bill finally went out of
committee, and was ordered to be reported on Friday.

gregabd.

His Royal Highness the Dube of Oambridge, attended

Rescliy. It appears that Mr. William Payee Cowley, •
farmer, living in that village with his mother (who is •
widow) and his brothers. had his sheep dipped or washed
last week. The object of this dipping or washing is the ex-
sermioatiou of vermin, and for this purpose a strong mix-
ture of arsenic and soft soap, diluted with water, is made.
On Tuesday morning last Yr. W. P. Cowley sent his bro-
ther, Itr. Edwin Cowley, to the adjoining town of
Daventry, where he purchased bibs. of white monk
and • barrel of soft soap, weighing 30lbe. Os
the following morning Mr. W. P. Cowley and his
mother prepared the sheep-dipping mixture, in which some
lambs were washed. In this operates Mr. Cowley fed es-

TURIN, JULY 14.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day a discuss.ion
took place upon the explanations requested by
Signori Alfieri and Boggio of the speech delivered
by Garibaldi at Palermo. Signor Ciispi defended
Garibaldi
Signor Eattazzi, in the course of his speech, said :
—" We shall maintain intact and defend the pre-
rogatives of parliament and of the executive against
any one. The words of Garibaldi were incon-
siderate. Italy must be grateful to the Emperor
of the French.
Signor Crisps said that the recall of Signor Pal-
laviono from Palermo would occasion a civil war.

Signor Ratters/ protested against the promulga-
tion of such a theory.

him containing offeuaivs eXuaions to the

and Boggle asked the President of the
Council whether measures had been taken to
prevent private individuals assuming the initiative
in acts calculated to compromise the complete unifi-
cation of the country. (Applause.)
Signor Rattazsi regretted the offensive language
that had been used with regard to the Emperor of
the French. The journey of Garibaldi in Sicily
had been undertaken without the knowledge of the
government.

Signor Ratters' further states that a despatch
had been sent to the Prefect of Palermo, request-

of the speech. The government would take mea-
sures in future to prevent such enterprise. compro-

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 15.

A FRENCH evening paper, once official, and
still anxious to preserve or recover the reputation
of being the organ of ministerial disclosures, has
exhumed the old bugbear of the Franco-Russian
alliance. We are far from denying that there ;s a
• good deal of intimate communication and mutual
support between the Courts of the Tuileries and St.
Petersburg. We mentioned, indeed, some days
ago, how influential the hostility of Rome to both'
had proved to induce them to make common cause
and head against it. But from the language of
the Patric, we infer that its writer sees but a
very short way into the nature of this alliance.
The French journalist, in the first place, informs
us that France and Russia have come to an agree-
ment as tothe best mode of inquiring intoandsolving
the difficulties which arise out of the situation of
the Christians of the East. But on this subject
the two Governments have been agreed long ago.
France and Russia have been for these many
years manoeuvring, singly and conjointly, not so
much really to serve and advance the interests and
happiness of the Christians of the East, as to as-
sume the Protectorate, the one of Catholic, the
other of Greek Christians, in order to make them
the instruments of their ambit'on and the foot-
stools of their grandeur. Mut they will con-
tinue to do so was to be expected, and
is nothing new. Nor is there any alliance _ _

required, or, is we believe, concluded for the pur-
pose. So long u the understanding between the
Courts limits itself to diplomatic action, it can

be met, u it has hitherto been, in the diplomatic
geld. It can only be dangerous when such an
alliance assumes an aggressive or offensive form
against Turkey. For this Russia is by no means
prepared at the present moment. Neither is
France. We feel, therefore, perfectly tranquil as
to the bugbear of the Patrie.

The second announcement of that journal is the
agreement of France and Russia with respect to
the affairs of Italy. Of this we have as little doubt
as of the other : France and Russia regent Italy
just as they do the Eastern Christians. They oars
as little as possible about its welfare, its consolida-
tion, or its unity. But they wish to use Italy as
a warlike instrument to attack and neutaalise
the German Powers whenever those Powers
threaten to interfere with their designs. Thee*
designs of France and Russia all refer, we re-
peat, to the future ; but they wish to keep Italy
in its present situation, armed, unsettled, imps.

THE FLOODS IN THE FENS.

TO THB ■DIIOH OF THI IMPIII2OI.

Sin,—Observing in your paper of yesterday the
statement made in the House of Commons by Sir George
Grey in answer to Lord Stanley, 1 beg to send for your in-
formation a copy of the letter 1 addressed to Sir George
Grey on the Med inst.
Grave doubts have been expressed as to whether the right
method of proceeding to exclude the tidal waters has yet
been adopted—very slow progress is made, and much addi-
tional damage is contemplated at the rising of the next
spring tides this week. Large numbers of men are leaving
the work for want of sufficient inducement to remain, or
through being discharged, and the damage to the east bank,
by which the Magdalen and Stow districts are protected,
continues daily to increase.-1 am, Ac.,
L. W. JARVIS, Mayor of King's Lynn.
Middleton Tower, near Lynn, May 25.

London, May 23.
Sir,--In accordance with the wish you expresseed when
the deputation from the Court of Sewers of West Norfolk
waited upon you this afternoon, I beg, as chairman of such
deputatioe, to state in writing what was then verbally
submitted to you.
1. That owing, it is presumed, to Mr. Hawkshasesengsge-
meets in London, the local superintendence of the works
1P177t0 have been very defective.
'hat only a small portion of the labourers offering have
been employed, and it is considered the number so employed
has been much lees than the necessity of the case requires,
the 'WOW of works of this nature depending in a great
measure on the rapidity and vigour of their execution.
3. In consequence of the breach through the west bank
of the Middle Level drain between the railway and Chad's-
bridge, the action of the water on the opposite or east beak
has scoured away the foot of such bank, no that it is feared
• breach will occur there also, the consequence of which will
be the flooding of about 8,000 acres of land, ID addition to
the large tract already submerged on the opposite side.
Although this has been apparent for several days nothing
bad beendone to remedy it up to DOOll of yesterday, and it
is urged that it requires the immediate and vigorous atten-
tion of the commissioners to prevent this additioaal calamity.

THE NATIONAL BINS.-ITEM DAY.)

The twenty-seventh annual general meeting of
the proprietors use held at one o'clock, at the office, (Ad
Broad-street ; Mr. H. trasoarre is the chair.
The fiscarraar (Hr. H. B. Hyde) read the report. The
balaseessalsest at the aloft of 1861 exhibits a total of area
of above six millions, being the highest figure ever ruched
by the bank at the close of any year since eta establishment.
The direeters propose that the paid.up capital of the
bank shall be further increased from 000,0001. to
600.0001.—by a present allocation of bl. pm shore on
20,000 shares, making together 100,0001.—mA of the =di-
Tided profits, after which proposed addition to paidsup
capital the rest or undivided profits will be 99,050'.14 6d.,
and each 501. share will stand as 301. *lap. When the
dividend shall be declared next August it is proposed that
it shall he at the rata of 8 per scot per annum on the paid.
up capital of 600,0001., end that the bonus or extra dive
deed shall be 16s. per share.
The CHAIRMAN said the report left but little for him to
say. He believed the National Bask never steed higher in the
estimation of its shareholders or its customers than it did it
that eminent. It had second the utmost degree of car
Memos both in Ireland end in London. The net of 204,0004
was most satisfactory, especially as a met at the rate
of 24 per coat per annum had been divided during the list
half. ear, and there was every reason to believe that the
board would be enabled in August next not only to pay the
increased dividend, but also to add to the reserve fund. Re
bank bed yielded 201. 13e. 4d. per mot. per annum in the
last three years. He then referred in terms of strong cos.
damnation to an anonymous letter which had been en.
milated smog the shareholders, characterizing it es a fool
and malicious production. The board had, he said, nicly
endr.-xvourad to obtain legal proof of the authorship. The
author ought, in fairness, to be in the room, and
no doubt was there. (Heir, bear.) He then sp.
pealed to him to come forward end declare him-
self to be the author. No one responding to
this invitation be made ea appeal to a particular
by name, bat still there was no direct renown ; trtgentle-
man thus *dammed observing that be must give the same
answer that be had before given mph', company's solicitor,
He oonoloded by moving the adoption of the report
The solicitor, lir. W. TATHAM, stated that this UM(

Mr. F. NzwlA seconded the motion.
After some discussion the report was adopted.
The retiring officers were afterwards re-elected and the
mating warded.

ing the engine with the water-wheel, it being
worked by both steam and water power. The fire was non-
fined to the eastern portion of the premises, where there
was • large quantity of both manufactured and uomastifac-
tured hemp. In a few hours the fire was got under. Pro-
perty and machinery to the extent of several thousands of

LONDON CHARTERED BANK OP AUSTRALIA.

The following is the report of the directors to be
presented at the general meetingon the 6th June :—" It is
gratifying to the court to be able to state that the result of
the operations of the past year has been successful, not-
withstanding the depression which has prevailed during
that period so the pastoral and mercantile interests in the
colonies, owing to the decline in the value of sheep and
cattle, as well as the disturbing influences of the civil war
in America. The latest advices from Australia, extending
to the 25th March last, are of an encouraging character ;
and the directors consider it due to Mr. Bramwell to
their acknowledgments for the continued seal and •
exercised by him in the performance of his duties as the
colonial superintendent of the establishment. The directors
continue to view the formation of an adequate reserve fund
as a matter of the first importance for the interests of the
corporation, and they propose, on the present =maims, to
add, out of the half•yeer's profits, the sum of 10,0004 to
the above fund, which will then amount to 60,0001. This
course, which is recommended by all principles of sound
banking, will doubtless have the cordial approval of the
proprietors. It is with feelings of deep regret that the di-
rectors have to advert to the decease of Mr. Dunbar,
who was one of the original founders and directors of this
establishment, and who took the warmest interest in its
prosperity. By this event the directors have lost an able
and esteemed colleague, and the bank a zealous friend and
' supporter. The accounts appended to this report are made
up to the 31st December last, from which it appears that,
after the wind deductions, and also after =Wag allowance
for bad and doubtful debts, these remains to the credit of
profit and loss the sum of 54,0281. 9e, 9d., out of which the
directors recommend that a dividend be declared for the
hall-year of 4 per cent., free of income tax, 35,5001. and
that a sum of 10,0001. be placed to the reserve fund, making
45,6001. ; leaving to be carried to next account a Wanes of
8,5261. 9s. 9d.

THE POLICE COURTS.

(rills DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
ASSAULT ON • PUBLICAN.

James Mabrick, ► well-droned young man, who said he
was a clerk, was charged with assaulting Mr. Vickresa, the
landlord of the Wellington T►vern, corner of Wellington-
etreet, Strand.

The prosecutor stated that the prisoner entered his
house yesterday, with another gentleman and a woman
of bad character. They went into what is called
the private department. He informed them that he
did not allow women of that class in that department. The
prisoner replied by asking him how much he paid for his
shirt collar. (A iaugh.) This woman went out, but the
prisoner went up to the counter sod ordered a glass of gin.
and-water, with which wither refused to serve him.
The prisoner said, " I insist upon you serving me.
I am not drunk ; and if you don't serve me.
I will go to the nearest magistrate and complain."
Witness replied, "You may go ." but checked himself.
The prisoner said, "I wish you had finished the sentence
'go to the devil,' and I would have punched
trahead."
Witness said, "That would be a cowardly ' to do."
The prisoner then struck him a violent blow on the head.
He called a constable, and gave the prisoner into custody.
He was the worse for liquor.
Mr. Yickress, jun. (son of the complainant), and Mr.
Barker, a gentleman who happened to be present, corrobo-
rated the statement.

The prisoner said the woman was certainly of the class
alleged. but she was quite sober and behaved herself
properly.
Mr. Henry said that might be, but many publicans who
wished to keep their houses respectable would not serve
such persons at all, at least in a pert of the house specially
appropriated to more respectable persons. It was quite a
mistake to suppose that a publican was bound to serve any
person who entered the house.

The prisooer—l thought he was hound to serge me, es I
wa. sober. The woman was gone then.
Mr. Henry —Exactly ; and you were standing on what you
thought your right. You were wrong. But that was only
a mistake, and would be no great harm if you bad not
assaulted him.

The prisoner denied that he had threatened to strike Mr.
Vickress, and said that he only struck him atter be (Mr.
Vickress) had called him a coward. He also alleged that
Mr. Vickress was drunk._

This WM contradicielby the police, and by Mr. Vickress
himself.

Mr. Henry asked how long Mr. Vickrees had kept the
boom ?

Mr. Vickresa--Foarteen years, sir. I have been a homed
victualler for 37 years, and never bad a cmplaint against
me.

Mr. Henry said there was obviously no ground for the im-
putation. At the station house the prisoner had said that
young Mr. Viekreas assaulted him.
The prisoner—I say so still.
Mr. Henry-1f be had done so be would only have acted
in defet.ce of hie father. There in no excuse for your con-
duct. You must pay W., or be imprisoned fora month.
