Though notice bee been given of several elrei4

amendments to the government Reform Bill, the only two,
the Tillie. says, which practically affect the enfranchising
clauses, are one by Lord Ravensworth raising the qualifies-
tion of the lodger franchise from 101. to 201., and
one by the Marquis of Clanricarde, proposing that after
the passing of the bill no one shall acquire a borough vote
in the capacity of a freeman. The first suggestion em-
bodies every possible fault, for it would make the offer
of the franchise to lodgers worthless, and would only
serve to beget a resentful temper certain to endure longer
than the session or two for which the amendment would
be in effect. Lord Canrioarde's proposal might well be
adopted, but there would be very few voters henceforth
quitlified as freemen who will not be otherwise qualified,
and should the government persist in opposing the
suggestion, it would not be desirable to occupy valu-
able time in pressing it. The position of the govern.
ment scheme of redistribution is entirely different ;
and the Tim. believes that if they be ambitious of making
their act as perfect as possible they will gladly accept the
help of the Lords in extending its provisions. Mr. Knatoh-
bull-Hugessen declares his opinion in the Times that the
House of Commons would assent to an enlargement and
revision of the redistribution scheme, and the Time, agrees
with him.

With regard to last night's Irish debate, the Timm ex-
plains the omission of any measure of importance to Ire-
land this session by the fact that it is almost impossible
for parliament to give its attention to more than one or
two great measures a year. But it will be felt next year
that the time has come when there should be a real Irish
session.

Treating of the professional doctrine respecting the army
put forward on Thursday night by Sir J. P►kington and
Lord Elcho, the Daily News sees in the various petty
schemes which are proposed the feeblest possible methods
of dealing with the problem. The interests of the ruling
class are bound up in the maintenance of the status quo. It
is they who have established • system under which every
battalion has one-third more officers than those of Prussia
or France, or even Italy. It is they who have made pro-
motion depend on mosey. It is they who divide among
themselves all the good things of the service, and who
make the rise of merit alone so rare that it is a matter to
be wondered and pointed at. It is they who insist on sub-
jecting the veteran to the same routine of elementary drill
as the recruit. A new parliament will have to introduce •
new system and recognise no privilege but that of serving
the country, and no reward save that which true merit has
won. When this is done the question of army recruiting
and of an army reserve will be solved.
The Post calls on the House of Lords to reject the re-
distribution part of the government Reform Bill, le•vir g
that portion of the scheme until next ye►r. In another
article the Post expresses its pleasure in being able to
state that the current rumours of war are not as yet
founded upon any tangible facts. The cabinets of St.
Petersburg and the Tuileries are acting together in the
Schleswig question, and the justice of the Danish require-
ments cannot fail to be ultimately conceded by Prussia.
The true cause of the general distrust is the increase
of the armamenta in France ; but the Post thinks these
may be explained by the natural desire of France to make
the necessary exertions to keep • flret-rate place in
Europe.
The Standard and Herald represent the resolution
which is to be proposed by Lord Halifax as simply an
attempt to shelve reform and prevent a settlement which
has been accepted as satisfactory by the vast majority of
the country.
The Star also thinks that unless the peers are prepared
to give up their autumn at the call of duty, it is bard to
see bow it is possible for them to touch the question with
any hope of bringing it to a successful termination.
The plain duty of the hour, the Telegraph says, is to
pass the bill, and no amendments from any quarter must
be allowed to stand in the way.
Our contemporaries this morning all devote considerable
space to extracts from the work on the early years of the
Prince Consort, a full account of which appeared in yes-
terday's Express.

THE .BBPOR.tf RILL Iff THE MOUSE OP LORDS.

Ia addition to the antandmenia which we have
sheaf/bodied as to be moved isi'eanimittee on the Re-
preseneatiset al the Nevis Xi, several fresh ones are
printed with the votes of today. One is by the Bishop of
London:—" To insert at the end of clause 4 : ' But nothing
in this act contained shall entitle any person to vote in
the election of members to serve in parliament for the
city of Oxford or town of Cambridge in respect of any
chambers or premises in any of the colleges or hall of the
universities of Oxford or Cambridge.' "
The Marquis of Clanricorde will move the following
clause :—" No person who after the passing of this act
may be elected, made, or admitted a freeman of any city,
town, or borough shall be entitled to register a vote or to
vote as such for the election of any member of parliament
for such city, town, or borough : provided nevertheless,
that such person may be registered as an elector and may
vote for a member or members of parliament for any place
for which he shall be entitled to vote by reason of any
franchise created by this act or otherwise ; and nothing
herein contained shall prejudice or affect any right or pri-
vilege, municipal or corporate, to which he may be entitled
except the right to vote as a freeman for the election of a
member of parliament."

The Marquis of Salisbury will move to insert a clause,
after clause 27, having for its object "to enable all per-
sons duly registered as voters for any county or borough
in lieu of attending in person to vote under proper regula-
tions by a voting paper."
Among some amendments to be move Iby Lord Cairns
is the following clause: " At a contested election for any
county or borough represented by three members no per-
son shall vote for more than two candidates. At a con-
tested election for the City of London no person shall vote
fee more than three candidates."
Earl Grey has given notice of several amendments re-
lating to the distribution of seats, two of which he
seeks to reserve for the Inns of Court. He will
also move to insert the following clause :—" 'Whereas
all persons employed in the collection of the revenue
are now by law prohibited from voting or interfering
in elections, and there is no reason for making a dis-
tinction between this and other departments of the public
service ; be it enacted, that this prohibition shall extend
to all persone employed in the civil service of the govern.
ment in any department, except those holding offices
tenable with seats in parliament."

Despatches were sent to the Governors of Gibraltar,
Malta, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Libman, the Straits Settle-
ment., the Australian colonies, tbo Mauritius, the Cape
of Good Hope, and Natal.

THE EARL OF DERBY.—The reply to inquiries at
the noble Premier's residence yesterday was, that there
wee a little abatement of the pain, though his lordship
wee still confined to bed.

The Duke and Duchess of Richmond will enter-
tain, as Amnia, a distinguished circle next week at G. of-
wood during the races. The Prince of Wales is expected
to honour the duke and duchess with a visit extending
over a few days, and the Prince and Princess of Saxe-
Weimar will also stay the week at Goodwood.

Sir James Fergusson is appointed Under Secre-
t►ry at the Home-office, and he will be succeeded, in all
probability, by Lord Clinton at the India Board.
The death is announced of Lord Robert Pelham
Clinton, uncle of the Duke of Newcaitle. It occurred on
Thursday at Earlswood, near Reigate, after a protracted
illness. The deceased lord was the youngest son of Henry
Pelham, 4th Duke of Newcastle, and Elisabeth, daughter
of Mr. Edmund Miller Mundy, of Shipley, county Derby.
Ho was born 15th October, 1820, and was a Lieutenant of
the Sherwood Rangers. The deceased nobleman for-
merly represented North Nottinghamshire in the House
of Commons, being first returned at the general election
in 1852 in conjunction with Lord Henry Bentinck, and
also returned with the present Speaker of the House of
Commons at the elections in 18.17 and 1839. In politics
he was a liberal conservative. He was compelled to retire
from his legislative duties at the close of the last parlia-
ment on account of his bad health.

The Curl; E.caminer says that a very painful
rumour has been current through that city concerning some
persons who have been recent visitors to it. It is said that
a lady who is the wife of a member of one of the wealthiest
families in Ireland has left her husband in company with
a cavalry officer. The fugitives have, it is said, been
traced to Glasgow by the lady's father, who is a gentleman
holding an important public position, in which he is de-
servedly respected: The lady mentioned is, we regret to
add, the mother of three children.
Lord Cranborne writes to the Spectator:—" Sir,
Will you allow me to correct a rumour which you mention
as probable, and which on your authority may possibly be
taken as a fact by others, to the effect that the political
article in the currant Quarterly is mine? I certainly have no
reason to complain that so brilliant and powerful an article
should be attributed to me. Still, as a matter of fact, I
am not the authur.—l am, sir, ke., CRANBORNE."

The Marquis of Westmeath intends to move on
Tuesday next for the appointment of a committee to con-
sider the arrangements for reporting the speeches of the
member. of the bonne. And with special reference to
certain proceedings in the reporters' gallery on Thursday,
the 11th of July.

On Tuesday Mr. J. S. Mill will ask the Attorney
General whether he has taken into consideration the evi-
dence produced at the trials by court-martial lately held in
Jamaica, on Enaign Cullen and Staff Aasiatant-Surgeon
Morris, and whether it is his intention to institute pro-
ceedings against those officers in the ordinary tribunals of
this country.

Major Anson intends to bring the question of
rifled ordnance before the louse on Tuesday.
" Those who are in the habit," says the Army
and Nary Ga:ette, " of looking upon the household cavalry
as little more than ornamental troops will have occasion to
qualify that view very much, when they reflect upon what
was done by one of these regiments last Saturday. The
2nd Life Guards n.arched from Hounslow in the morning,
took part in the review, being about five hours on the
ground, and then left for Windsor, where they arrived
after a halt at Hampton Court, at an early hour on Sunday
morning. It was a march of thirty-three miles during the
day, without taking into account the movements on the
ground ; sad next morning both men and horses were in as
good oondltica as if they had passed the previous day
quietly in barracks."
. .

engagement at St. Petersburg for the coming winter
season. Mdlle. Lucca is engaged there also for sixteen
performances.
The Grand Doke Alexis, third son of the Em-
peror of Buena, arrived at Cadiz on the 19th inst., after a

to embark on board the steam-frig its Alexander Neweki,

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ROME.

The subjoined is taken from the Merim:,,t•, of
Genoa :

The Popular Association of Genoa has held a meeting
under the presidency of M. Campollo, chairman of the
Committee for Promoting the Acquisition of Rome, Re
explained in a few words the object of the meeting, which
was the solution of the Roman question. Many opeskers
had desired to be heard, but it was decided to read the
proposition of the president, which was done ; and then
the adoption of the document was voted by acclamation.
The following is the text:

" Considering that Italy will not hare accomplished her
programme until after having acquired Rome for her capi.
tal ; considering that it will be vain to expect the country
to become prosperous at home or to &Nair* abroad
the position of a powerful and respected nation so
long as it has not secured this supreme object—
the Genoese, united in popular meeting, have de-
cided as follows:-1. To proclaim solemnly the
right of the Italians to Rome, the capital of Italy.
2. To proclaim the duty of every Italian to aid by every
means and with all his power in the recovery of this most,
important part of the territory of Italy."
On the motion of the Advocate Branco, it was agreed to
send a salutation to the people's general,Joseph Garibaldi ;
and, on that of Deputy Carbonetti, a salutation to Joseph
Mazzini, the man who commenced the great straggle foe
the unity of the country. The meeting then broke up with
cries of "To Rome !" several times repeated in presence
of the government functionaries, who were on duty to
watch the proceedings.

RESIARIM

Barometrical pressure bialiaereased since yesterday, Oat
and Is now generally increasing. Winds have become
more northerly, and are variable and moderate. Weather Is
cloudy, and rain has fallen In Owes.

The Monitrur du Suir devotes the following lines
to the visit of the Empress Eugenie to Queen Victoria:—
"This journey is another proof of the affectionate senti-
ments which unite the imperial family of France to her
Britannic Majesty. The Empress had lately numerous
conversations with the Queen of Prussia on the subject of
the benevolent works for which the two sovereigns have
always testified the most lively interest and the moot
charitable solicitude."

Prince George of Waldeck has just signed a
treaty whereby he ►bdicates in favour of the King of
Prussia, and cedes his principality to that power. What
oompensation has been stipulated for is not yet known.
One of the principal masonic lodges of Italy hat
invited the lodges of all other countries to sa.ist them is
protecting the Roumanian Jews. The French brotherhood
will doubtless cooperate in aiding the cause of them
unfortunate people.

Galignani says that MM. 011ivier and Jules
Simon are to palm a portion of the recess in the Loiret, at
Olivet, with their colleague and friend, M. Latour-du.
Moulin. N. Pefletan is expected at Angerville, the seat
of M. Berryer ; and M. Darimon is spoken of as intending
to proceed to the estate of M. Segris, close by Angers. M.
Jules Favre is to leave Paris on the Ist of Auguit, after the
elections for the Council of the Order of Advocates. Ille
physicians have dissuaded him from going to Germany as
be proposed ; he will proceed to Cannes, to enjoy the air
of the south. First President Devienne, senator, has left
for his estate of Chaponost, in the department of the
Rhine ; and in ► few days the illustrious President of the
Senate himself is to repair to Cormeilles.
An alarming accident occurred to the express
train which left Bile about half-past 5 p.m. last Monday
evening. A large poplar tree had fallen directly across the
line. But though it was perfectly dark the careful drives
became aware of the obstruction and nearly brought up the
train before it struck. Tho collision cut a great piece out
of the tree, the butt of which was jammed in between two
carriages, and the locomotive turned off the line. The
passengers were delayed for more than three hours in a
storm of rain and lightning.

. _
M. Antolin Udsete, formerly agent de change on
the Boles of Madrid, and one of the richest capitalists of
Spain, lately went to Rome. A week after his arrival be
died suddenly. When his will was opened on the day of
the funeral, he was found to have named Pope Pius IX. se
his heir. A communication from Madrid, quotes' by
aalignaui, states that the fortune of the deceased amount,
to six millions of francs, and that his relatives intend to
oppose the will as a forgery.
THE Quasar or HANOVER. —Several of the
German patens& have stated that the Queen of Hanover

and her domestic servants, and to accept a household
chosen by the Prussian government; secondly. te
hoist the royal Prussian flag on the chAteau;
and thirdly, to allow a detachment of Prussian troops to
mount guard at the palace. Her Majesty vainly mem-
strait.. d, and showed that she was residing in her owe
house; the King of Prussia at length intimated, by I
formal order from Ems, that the Queen must leave the
country and her chateau if she refused to accept the
.mnditions. Three days were given her for eonsideratioa.
In consequence, the Queen and the youthful Princess
Mary left Marieuburg on Wednesday morning for Vieuess
by way of Cassel.
THE SULTAN'S RETURN.—A communication from
Vienna states that the Sultan was expected to arrive at the
Austrian frontier on the 26th, at Passau, where Haider
Effendi, the staff of the embassy, and the two Austrian
officers attached to his Majesty's service, were
gone to receive him and conduct him to Schonbruna,

MONEY MARKET.-(T1118 DAY.)

ONE o'OLOCZ.

The amount of business in public securities to-
day is very limited, but the tone of most of the
markets is rather better than yesterday. The
absence of rain at the moment, and the
slight improvement which occurred yesterday
on the Paris Bourse have induced a few
purchases on account of the public, as well as
some transactions to close recent speculative ac-
counts. The English funds are quoted about the
same as yesterday, but several of the foreign bonds
and home railways have advanced. Metropolitan
stock is still inquired for, upon the announcer ent
of the dividend.

The money market is very quiet, and the quo-
tations for the best paper show no alteration. The
charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is l i
per cent.

Consols are quoted 9n to 94 for money, and
93 15-16 to 94 1-16 for the account, and the Three
per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 93i
to f.

The railway market is rather firmer, and a rise,
ranging from /to per cent., has occurred in
Metropolitan, Great Western, South Eastern, Great
Eastern, and Brighton stocks. London and North
Western stock is quoted 1101 to 1111 ; Great West-
ern, 411 to 1 ; Midland, 1144 to d ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 1261 to 127 ; Great Northern, 111 to
112; ditto A, 110} to 111 ; Great Eastern, 261
to ; South Eastern, 631 to / ; Caledonian, 108
Ito 109 ; North British, 27} to 28; Metropolitan,
1201 to 1211 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 16/
to 1; and London, Brighton, and South Coast,
1501 to R.

Foreign stocks are inquired for. Greek and
Italian of 1861 have improved I per cent., via., to
13} to 14 and 48i to I, respectively. Turkish of
1866 and Spanish Passive are higher—the former
at 30 to and the latter at 21k The other
descriptions are steady. Turkish of 1862 are
