THE PRIVILEGES OP THE HOUSE OP LORDS.-
PROCEEDINGS OP THE COMMITTEE.

(Frew the Times.)

We believe we may announce that the colliaion
between the Lents and the Commons which was to be, and
which was to lead to the extermination or subjection of the
former anomalous body, has been averted. The very numer-
ous committee of two-sad-twenty, we are told, succeeded iu
resolving itself into two parties, under two chiefs, who
both prepared reports. Mr. Walpole prepared one, giving
a quiet history of the precedents, and saying very much
what has been said before. Bound to truth, he was unable
to import much variety into • theme which was simply a
question as to matters of fact. A counter-report was pre-
pared by Mr. Bright, with the assistance, it is said, of a
constitutional adviser of great celebrity in small circles.
This went into the very depths and height' of the question,
and, of course, concluded that the House of Lords had done
what it had no right to do, and that the House of Commons
should set the decision of the Lords at nought. This might be
very excellent advice if the object were to bring things to
the speediest possible issue, at whatever cost ; and we can
away imagine gentlemen very happy to ride the storm that
might be got up on such an occasion. These two report'
were laid before the committee, which had thus to choose
between history and science, between dry matter of hog
and ardent opinion. Borne members of the committee
could not agree with Mr. Bright's report, yet stood so much
in awe of its explosive tendency that they proposed a
compromise—a third report, which should amalgamate the
two gauges. Eventually, however, the two rival reports
were put to the vote, when Mr. Bright succeeded in ob-
taining, in addition to his own vote, for his own report,
those of Mr. Gladstone and Lord John Russell. The former
of these gentlemen warn concerned in the subject-matter
of the difference—the repeal of the paper duty—and the
latter was tolerably safe to take the widest interpretation
of popular right and the narrowest of constitutional privi-
lege. The whole trio, therefore, were too deeply pledged
fur their agreement to form any novelty or have any
weight. The remainder of the committee agreed to Mr.
Walpole's report. There can be little doubt as to the
course to be taken by the house. The three dissentients
will have • hearing, and will recommend and deliver their
own report, amplified into three good speeches. They will
be well supported, and the conatitutioual question will be
Wyly illustrated and embellished. The house, however,
will be content with letting the minority have their say out.
It will adopt Mr. Walpole's report, with, possibly, • quiet
protest against the late decision of the Lords being coo•
'trued into • new precedent.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROP& --Considerable
anxiety continues to prevail as to the weather. A favour-
able change has, it is true, been experienced during the
poet week, and Sunday was marked by a decided improve-
ment in temperature and sunny influence. Heavy rain
again fell on Monday, and there moms as yet no Dort of
indicatiou that settled weather is likely to visit us. Some
improvemeut may be seen iu the appearance of the crops,
especially on the best mils, and we are disposed to believe
that, on these, average growths would even now be attained
should dry and warm weather set in. Every day of con-
tinual rain operates now, however, with cumulative effect,
and with a wet " blooming" time serious Hijacks/ most
ensue. On the thin and badly fanned soils much mischief
Kul already been effected, and further wet moat greatly
increase it. Though no alarmists, and knowing with what
rapidity settled and seasonable summer heat works out the
met beneficial results, it is impossible to contemplate the
present state of things without serious unesainees. We can
only express the hope that a change may speedily ensue.
As regards the haymaking, some little progress Fan been
made during the week. and we hear at crepe made and
stacked in very fair coodition. Dry sad warm weather is,
however, greatly needed.—dassm Adtrrtiar.

WRICKINO • PROT EWA NI'S HOU PM —At the
Dublin Commission Court on Saturday, a batch of 15 per.
lOU, men and women, were tried fur wrecking the house of
Min Sherwood, who was guilty in their eym of the crime
of proteMantisin. They attempted likewise to set it on Are,
and so dispose of the " souper," am they deli ted her.
Mr. Justice Hughes (a Roman catholic), in his com-
mented strongly on the conduct of the police in the matter.
It was, lie mid, almost impossible they could have been
unaware of such a riot—that had maseeded for several
hours—yet they never interfered. The priapism were
acquitted of tho charge of attempted moo, but seven
were convicted of the riot and assault. One was sent to
prison fur Rix months, three women for two months, and
tie other three were held to hall.

Ten Corr OF FANCY DRINI4ZIPI. —At Paris last

man's wife fur shall au themi-Gareme, but of which in con-
sequence of being ludisposeil that day, she bad not made
any use. M. Guyot de Brun maiat•iaed that the costume
had not been bought but hired for • sum of 100 fr., aud be
offered, though it had not bean rand. to pay that amount.
tribunal held that no sate had been proved, but it
ordered H. Guyot de Brun to pay the trader 'Mfr.

his lordship, " until long after the introduction of the bill
into the House of Commons. I now consider it to be
impracticable. It will give, in many instances, no returns at
all ; and, in many more, very fallacious returns. If made
compulsory, it will be a perilous violation of religious
liberty."

Mr. S. P. Maneel, of Shre vrebury,writes
"At half-past 11 last night (Saturday) I detected, in •
break in the clouds to the north, a very considerable comet.
It was distinctly visible to the naked eye, notwithstanding
the brightness of the twilight in that part of the heavens.
At midnight its nucleus was about 4 degrees above the
horizon, and about the lame number west of north. The
tail was clearly visible for 5 degrees, and might doubtless
have been traced for more than double that distance bad
it been darker. As this nu,y possibly prove to be the groat
comet whose return has been so long expected, perhaps
you will have the kindness to insert this notice for the
benefit of more competent observers than myself, who may
have been prevented from seeing it by the long prevalence
of unfavourable weather."

Ou Saturday another action for damages against
a railway was decided at Dublin, when damages to the
amount of 500/. were given. The plaintiff was a governess
in the family of Colonel White, M.P., of Woodlands, and
the defendants the Midland Great Western Railway Coon.
pany. The cause of action occurred in a collision on the
line last November, whereby the plaintiff was cut on the
face and was so much shaken in her nervous system as not
to be able to attend to her duties. The company, on
learning the amount of the injury she received, consented to
a verdict of 5001. The court and Jury expressed themselves
gratified with the promptness and liberality with which the
claim was met.

LATEST' INTELLIGENCE.

THR INSURRECTION IN SICILY.

It appears that In the evening of the 21st Gari-
baldi held at Palermo a council of war, to which
all the chiefs of corps were summoned, and
which was attended among others by Colonels Me-
dici, Turr, and Bitio, and Captain Orsini. At
that meeting it was unanimously decided that the
insurrectional army, after having collected all the
necessary material, should march on Messina. The
volunteers taken to the island by Colonel Medici
are said to have been all selected with the greatest
care, and among them are a number of officers and
non-commissioned officers of engineers and artillery.

It was believed that the insurrectional army would
commence its march on Messina about the 28th
inst. An insurgent camp has been formed at Bar-
celona, four leagues from Messina, consisting of
10,000 men, and deserters to it from the Neapo-
litan army were increasing every day. These
troops were ready to attack Mesaina as soon as
Garibaldi should give the order.
