IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MosnAv, Jinx S.

lit the liot-sr. of LORI'S, yesterday, the COlll/0-
eastion of Churchyards (No. 2) Bill passed through
committee.

The Earl of Siisrrnswrix called attention to a
letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, which
bad appeared in the ifioerd;o4 newspaper, stating
that convocation will be consulted on the matters
aubmitted to the ritual commission before they
were submitted to parliament. asked the
archbishop on what authority he made that Mate-
smut ; and also, if convocation disapproved of the
report of the commissitm, which decision was to
veva& If convocation were to have such power
at would be necessary to inquire what convocation
was, and whether it was to consist only of the {no-
wince of Canterbury, or was to love representatives
from the provinces of York, Dublin, and Armagh.
Lord TAUNTON asked what pr.gr:aa the ritual
commissioners had made on the yo..stion of deri-
cal veetineut.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY rel)::t11 that the
inquiry of the commissioners had hitherto been
confined to the matter of vestments, and with re-
gard to the question of the Earl f :Shaftesbury, he
said it was a historical feet that the 13,0 k of Com-
mon Prayer became law by the joint action o: par-
liament and of convocation, and he apprehended
that no alteration would be made in it without
consulting both bodies.
The Bishop of LoNooN remarked that the machi-
nery possessed by convocation for legislation was
of the humblest character. A proposition to alter
the 29th canon had now been before the convoca-
tions of Canterbury at d York fur six years with
less chance of an agreement being come to than
when the quest' was first introduced.
The Archbishop of CA NTERBU KY observed that he
wrote the letter referred to without any raratority
from the government for the statements contained
in it.

Lord CRANWOETR said it was perfectly true that
the Prayer-book, before receiving the sanction of
parliament, was se•.tled by convocation ; but no
efficacy could be given to any alterations in it ex-
cept by the Queen, Lords, and Commons.
The Bishop of CARLIBLE thought the answer
given by the Archbishop of Canterbury would be
regarded by tho country with dismay. If it were
really true that convocation was to be consulted
upon the matters submitted to the royal co•n-
mission before parliament made any enactment
concerning them, he apprehended they would be
simply playing into the hands of their enemies,
who only asked for two years to enable them to
revolutionise the church. Ho urged the necessity
of prompt legislation upon the subject.
The Earl of DERBY declined to express an opinion
as to the propriety of submitting the questions
which had been placed in the hands of the commis-
sioners to convocation, but he was certainly of
opinion that it was in the power of parliamelt to
legislate upon them without consulting convoca-
tion.

The subject then dropped.
The Earl of Sitsrrzast KY gave notice that he
should postpone the second reading of the Clerical
Vestments Bill for a week.
Several bills were advanced a stage and the house
adjourned at 10 minutes past 8 o'clock.

PARIS, JULY It
In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legislatif,
M. Jules Favre declared that ho approved the de-
mand of the government to sanction the opening
of a credit for 27 millions of francs for the improve-
ment of the armaments and the increase of the
soldiers' pay, but he would abstain from voting
upon this proposal on account of the irregularity
of the expenditure connected therewith. M.
Itouher acknowledged the irregularity of the ex-
penditure, but said that the government had been
obliged by circumstances to proceed in that way,
as they had been in presence of au imminent
conflict. They acted on their own respon-
sibility, and ho now asked for a bill
of indemnity. M. I'icard asked why this
credit had been placed amongst the floating debt.
M. Vuitrt replied that this had been merely done
provisionally, as the government only desired to
open the great book in cases of absolute emergency.
Id. Berryer expressed fears that the government
had during the recess of the legislative body en-
croached upon the funds reserved for the regular
army budget. M. Vtatry in his reply showed that
this apprehension was unfounded. The whole bill
referring to the credit of 158 millions of francs was
then passed by 231; against 12 votes. To-morrow
the discussion of the general budget of expendi-
ture of 1868 will commence, when M. Thiers will
speak.

DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, JUT 8.
The Berlinqake Tidende of to-day publishes a com-
munication, addressed to the Cologne Gazette and
the North German Gazette by 426 Germans domi-
ciled in Denmark, expressing the most grateful
recognition of the hospitable and friendly manner
in which they had been received in Denmark, and
declaring, from their own personal experiences,
that the requirement of any iniaranteo for the
treatment of the Germans in North Schleswig by
the Danish government was entirely superfluous.
The Crown Prince of Denmark left here to-day
for the Summer Palace of the King of Sweden at
Backaskog, in Schonen, where the King and Queen
of Sweden and their daughter, the Princess Louise,
are at present staying. King George of Greece, the
Grand Duchess Olga, and the Grand Duke Constan-
tine leave St. Petersburg tomorrow, and are ex-
pected here on Friday.

THE RAILWAY COMPANIM BILL.

To-day the Times again draws attention to the above
bill, now before a select committee of the House of Lords,
having gone through all its stages in the lower house almost
without comment. Bearing in mind the present condition
of the London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Eastern
Railways, we find that under this bill, if it should
become law, any line that has been in a receiver's
hands for • year may be sold outright by public
auction or private contract. Notice—but how long a
notice the act does not specify—must be given in
the Casette, and served in writing upon other companies
directly concerned, but no further condition is required.
" The purchasers" are thenceforth to hold the railway
" freed and absolutely discharged from all debts and
pecuniary liabilities of the company, and from all oblige.
Lions and liabilities whatever of the company," except
those attaching to the company "in relation to the
maintenance, repair, management, regulation, working,
and use of the railway." There is actually no security
against the concern being sold at a price immeasurably
below its value, and insufficient to pry off its debts,
much more its preference charges. But this is not
all. The bill goes on to apply all existing enact-
ments upon the subject of railways and railway com-
panies to railways thus sold and their purchasers.
It is tolerably certain, the Times contends, that no law so
crude and ill-devised as this could be worked at all by the
Court of Chancery. A still more fatal objection to it is
that, if it could be worked, it could only do mischief and
injustice. From whatever point of view the question is
approached, the more clearly does the impolicy of passing
this bill in its present form appear. It is already too late
in the session for an organic reform of our railway irysters.
That colossal task must be reserved for another year, if
not for another parliament. All we can now do is to sup-
port the credit of solvent companies by legitimate moans,
and to abstain from aggravating the ruin of insolvent com-
panies by • change in the wrong direction.

" The Empress Eugenie," says the Etendard,
" had received from Queen Victoria en invitation to be
present at the grand review in honour of the Sultan. Her
Imperial Majesty, under the painful feelings caused by the
dreadful news from Mexico, was obliged to decline the
gracious invitation of the Queen of England ; but the
latter, while profoundly respecting the sentiments which
led to this decision, and persisting in her earnest desire to
receive the Empress of the French, charged Lord Cowley,
se it is said, to invite her Majesty to pees two or three
days privately at Osborne."
The Channel squadron of iron-clads, under com-
mand of Sir Frederick Warden, sailed from Portland for
Bpithead at 5 p.m. yesterday.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE OP A MERCHANT AT

J4NCH6ITER.

Yesterday morning an inquest was held at tho
Queen's Hotel, Manchester, to inquire into the cause of
the death of Mr. Alfred Baumgarten, merchai t, who was
found dead in his bedroom at the above-nnrued hotel,
under the following extraordinary circumstances :—Find-
ing the deceased did not leave his Ixdrismi the chamber-
maid procured a second key, and on etiteriug the room
was almost suffocated by • powerful aniell of camphor.
The clothes of the deceased were lying in all directions,
the greater part of them having been cut to rags, appa-
rently with a pair of scissors, which *ere discovered on
tire door. In the firer:rate were tie. ....mains of a number
of business letters and several bank-notes, partly de-
stroyed by fire. On the toilet table was a large quantity
of camphor and some belladonna. The deceased was
lying in bed, said had apparently dud 111LIIOUS
a struggle. A post 'Borten' CIMIlli/1 ',LAM was m:aie,
hut, as the surgeon failed to satisfy himself as to
the cause of death, the deceased's stomach opt its con-
tents were submitted to chemical analysis. In the mean-
time the following facts transpired, showing that the de-
. ceased had been greatly harassed of late by excessive spe-
culation in the foreign markets. Our of the witnesses de-
posed that the deceased hail been operating in French
Funds for the purpose of " bearing" them, in the expec-
tation of there being a war between France and Prussia,
and that it was believed that he had lost 7,1101 W.
lazielhat one speculation. The same witness also
that a female with whom the .le,eased
was connected told him that Baumgarten had
said to ber several times during the last two or three
s.e.ts that she must not be surprised if he was found
dead. l'rofessor Crace Calvert, the well-known analytical
chemist, said he had made a careful analysis or cm stomach
and its contents, and he found camphor in very large quan-
tities. The camphor, which it would appear from the evi-
dence the deceased had taken, would aconunt for the
frenzy which was shown by the deceased in eotting up
his clothes, and of the tenor of the letters which he wrote
shortly before he was found dead. He beli, ved death had
resulted by the deceased taking camphor. The jury re-
turned a verdict of "Suicide while in a state of temporary
insanity."

THE PEACE MOVEMENT IN FRANCE.

The Paris Temp of yesterday publishes the
following letter from M. Jean Dollfus, of Mul-
house :

Paris, May 1.
My dear Sir,—l read In the France that Alsace bas
offered to raise and equip at its expense several battalions
of volunteers to fight against Prussia, and that gifts of all
kinds have been offered to assist the war. Yes, we should
all be soldiers in Alsace, but solely to repel an invasion, to
defend the country, and to do that no sacrifice would be
spared ; but Alsace does not want war, she has
• horror of it, and would regard as mon-
strous one made for a fortress, or to extend
the territory of France. In all our centres of population
a large number of addresses to the Emperor in favour of
peace are being signed ; and how, moreover, could it be
otherwise in • country where we are all so desirous of ,
seeing the welfare of our population increase, and where
so many efforts are made to put in practice
the holiest of our duties, that of loving our neigh-
bour and doing good? All Europe should bold these
sentiments, and instead of thinking of making
war we ought all to try to ensure the triumph of the real
interests of the people. Peace, progress, the well-being
of all, these are the most solid and the best fortresses that
the people and their governments can have, and in develop-
ing these, others will become useless. We ought to re-
gard human life as sacred, no longer permit the assauina-
tion of hundreds of thousands of men, and no longer
make glory consist in the shedding of human blood. In
expressing these sentiments I believe I am the interpreter
of my dear fellow-citizens of Alsace. —1 any &c.,

Jim; DOLLFLS, Mayor of Mulhouse.

The Temps also publishes an address, nume-
rously signed, from Mulhouse in favour of peace,
in which we read :
Fiance and Germany at war could not destroy each
other, their swords would dig furrows from which •
harvest of hatred would alone be reaped. After desperate
struggles peace would only be apparent ; the vanquished
would merely pause for breath and for revenge. Nothing
is certain but this result, and the immense sacrifices it
would cost. Such would be this war. The enormous dis-
proportion between the end pursued and the means em-
ployed to obtain it would plainly show it to be
one of those events in which passion alone
is concerned, and triumphs in Its most mon-
strous aberrations. No! France cannot allow her-

THE MEETING IN HYPE-PANE.

The Tines counsels sensible people to have nothing to
do with the Hyde-park meeting, and to the government it
suggests all possible caution and forbearance. The more
the great body of the people who may come are left to
themselves the better. If the police are to be employed
to prevent the holding of the meeting, let them confine
themselves to looking after the speakers. The Tina
trusts there may be no ostentation of military force, and
that none may be employed except in case of the most
absolute necessity. To bring forward a bill on the sub-
ject, as Mr. Walpole has done at the last moment, as if
there were !loine doubt of the law or of the means of en-
forcing it, tends rather to weaken than strengthen his
position. But, with calmness oc the part of the govern-
ment and good sense on that of the public, we may hope
that this mischievous business will end without serious
trouble.

The Times admits (together with a letterfrom Mr. Beale*,
declining to recogni-e the validity of Mr. Walpole's pro-
clamation, which he takes to be an unwarrantable assump-
tion of power on the part of the Home-office) two letters
suggesting that warrants be issued for the arrest of Mr.
Beaks and his counciL One of the correspondents says
that, among other great gains to be obtained by this pro-
ceeding, " Beale@ himself may be saved from being knocked
on the bead by • policeman's truncheon, and spared to
serve his country for many years."

. .
The Daily Neale considers the meeting unnecessary, and
calculated to serve no useful purpose, but Mr. IValpole as-
sumes the public character of the parks by his promised
bill, and appears to be not altogether certain of his autho-
rity. If the meeting is to be prevented the intention
should have been stated in more definite terms.

The meeting is earnestly deprecated by the Post ; while
the Standard is inclined to think that a little coolheaded
discretion will be exhibited on the occasion by the re-
formers. If reformers choose to cheer themselves, as
school-cbitiren do in pleasurr•ans, the police, we dare
say, says the Standard, will not interfere.

The Stir has reason to believe that the government will
content itself with the issue of the proclamation, and will
not take any steps to resist the entrance of the people into
Hypepark, or to interfere with any proceedings that may
take place there, so long as there is no disturbance of the
public peace.

THE POPE AND LITTLE MORTARA.

Advices from Rome give some details u to the
ceremonial observed in the celebration of the anniversary
of the Pope's return to the capital and his preservation
from the accident at the convent of St. Agnes. In the
morning high mass was celebrated in the church of San-
Andrea dells Fratte, u has been stated. In the afternoon
the Pope received a number of persons in the suns hall
of the convent in which the flooring had given way under
him. Amongst the young pupils educated by the canons
of the Lateran is Edgar Mortara, whose name is well
known throughout Europe. Distinguished by con-
siderable eloquence, good appearance, and much talent,
he lied been charged by his comrades to offer an address to
the Pope in their name. The Pope listened to him, and
then made the following reply :—" You are very dear to
me, my son, because I acquired you for Christ at • very
great prioe. You cost me • heavy ransom. On your
account • universal railing burst out against me and the
Apostolic See. Governments and peoples, the powerful of
this world, and the journalists, who are also the strong of
our days, declared war against me. Some Kings even
placed themselves at the head of this campaign
and caused their ministers to write diplomatic
notes. All that was on your account. I pass the
Kings by in silence. I do not wish to remember the out-
rages, the calumnies, sad the maledictions pronounced by
an innumerable crowd of simple private persons who ap-
peared indignant that God had conferred the gift of his
true faith on you in drawing you from the shadows of
death in which your family is still plunged. They com-
plained especially of the fate which bad befallen your
parents, because you had been regenerated by holy baptism,
and that you had received an instruction such as it has
pleased led to accord to you. And nobody, however,
pities me—me, the father of all the faithful, from whom
schism snatches thousands of children in Poland, or seeks
to corrupt them by its pernicious teaching. The peoples
as well as governments are quiet when I groan over the
fate of that part of the flock of Jesus Christ, ravaged by
robbers in broad day ; nobody moves to run to the help of
the Holy Father and his children."

THE LUXET;BURG QUESTION.

BERLIN, MAY 3.

Upon receiving the invitation to the Conference
yesterday, Count Bismarck stated that the King's
government was willing to accept the neutralisation
of Luxemburg as the basis of negotiation. He
added, however, that Prussia has no intention of
excluding Luxemburg from the Zollverein if neu-
tralised, the latter question not lying within the
scope of the Conference.

HUNGARY.

PESTH, MAY 3.

The sittings of the Hungarian Diet commence
upon the 7th inst. The principal subjects for con-
sideration are the revision of the laws passed in
1848, especially with regard to the right of the
Diet to grant the budget and the regulation of
military appointments by the King ; also the codi-
fication of the resolutions of the committee of '67.1

CROATIA.
AGILAM, May 1, Ilvianso.
The Croatian Diet was opened in this city
to-day.
The imperial rescript read to the house declares
the last address of the Diet incompatible with the
pragmatic sanction, and lays stress upon the unity
of all the kingdoms belonging to the Hun-
garian crown. His Majesty wishes the acceptance
of the resolution of the Hungarian Diet, which
sufficiently guarantees the autonomy of Croatia.
The rescript closes with a request that the Diet
will speedily come to an agreement, and will de-
spatch a deputation to be present at the coronation
of the King of Hungary at Pesth by the 15th inst.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANE.-7(THIS DAY.)

The receipts of wheat, fresh up to our market to-day,
from Ever and Kent, coastwise as well as by mil, were
again very moderate, but, with the supply remaining un-
sold from Wednesday, were more than sufficient to satisfy
the limited requirements of the few millers in attendance.
As regards prices the market presented a decidedly firm
lippllZßllo3.
The quantity of foreign wheat on the stands wee
tolerably good. The prices realised were quite on a par
with those current at the early part of the week, althea&
the demand was by no means active.
In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed steadily, at
full quot►tions.
Barley mine freely to hand, but the supply was almost
entirely composed of foreign produce. The transactions
were on a moderate scale, at the full prices of Monday.
Malt was firm in price, with a limited inquiry.
Oats commanded a fair amount of attention, and good
sound corn was very firmly held. The supply was good.
Beans were scarce and dear.
Peas were in fair request, and prices ruled firm. The
supply was only moderate.
The flour trade ruled steady at the recent improvement
On the whole the inquiry for seeds ruled firm.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A WOMAN IN THE

CITY.

A painful inquiry was held by Mr. William
Payne, the City coroner, last night, at the George Tavern,
Goldsmiths'-row, Shoe-lane, respecting the death of Louisa
Minstar, aged 51 years.
Mrs. M. M'Crsw, No. 5 Gunpowder-alley, Shoe-lane.
sail that the deceased resided at her house as the wife of
a Mr. Wake. She often said " I am very unhappy. My
trouble makes me so ; " and she used to drink. Her hus-
band, named James Winston., an undertaker, was alive,
bet be was separated from her. On Monday evening Mr.
Wake called witness upstairs, and when she saw the de-
ceased lying on the landing outside the room door she
exclaimed "Merciful God, she is dead !" There was a
broken cap lying near her.
John Wake said that he was a hairdresser. He had
bred with the deceased rather more than five years.
When sober a better woman never lived. Her husband
hinted her out because she drank, and she then went to
bee brother's, but he had to get rid of her, and witness
Men took her. She got rid of all his things. The witnes.
ccetinued— I was out, and when I went into the room I
rid, " Loo, where's the bed'" She seized a cup and
drank the contents, and cried "Ha. ha, ha," and she
!brew the cup upon the ground and throwing her arms up
the air she fell back upon the floor dead. (The witness
threw hie arms up and throwing himself backwardaknocked
against a juror.)
Coroner—Did you put her out first
Witness—Well, I did, and she burst the door in and
kek the cup off the window ledge. I keep nitrate of
Wert to dye my whiskeys and cyanide of potassium to take
the stains of it out when it falls on my linen. She might

Mr. Smith, surgeon, proved that the deemed had died

Policemonstable Caffrey said that he had seen the de-
eared the worse for liquor.
The Coroner left it to the jury to say whether they
guild return a verdict of " Felo-de-se," or " Temporary
'Malty." Voluntary drinking does not excuse the crime
ct soltnurder, but her mind might have been weakened
by the effects of it. Tice case was a very bad one.
The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased de-
it?TrYed her own life whilst in a state of temporary insa-
aity."

general business, and not much change in prices,

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
FLORENCE JrLy

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of DePutles ,
Signor Rattazzi, replying to Signora Kim and
Titori, said, that, from information he had re•
ceived, the speech alleged by the journals to have
been spoken by General Dumont was not a
true version. The government having requested
explanation from Paris on the subject, were in-
formed that General Dumont had no official mis-
sion in Paris. In order to learn the real state .f
affairs, Signor Nigra had been summoned
from Paris, and arrived yesterday in Fh.
rence. The government were desirous that the
September Convention should be exactly and
strictly carried out by the two contracting parties,
being jealous of upholding the dignity and inde-
pendence of the country. Signor Rattazzi also said
that he awaited other explanations in reply t.. his
demand to be informed of the terms of the misai”o
entrusted to the French general ; he did not believe
that the Antibes legion could be regarded as
French.

Signor Sella demanded the early publication of
the correspondence on that question, and also on
the formation of a foreign legion.
Signor Rattazzi agreed to this demand, and also
to the m ition of Signor Ferrari, according to which
the Chamber, considering how important to Italy
was the maintenance of the convention, urged the
Minister to cause the same to be maintained by
every means compatible with non-intervention.
In the Senate, Signor Rattarsi, replying to Signor
Angiolette, said that the great military commands
will be suppressed on the let October.
