LORD CLARENOE PAGET AND THE POPE.

Mr. WHALLEY rose to ask the First Lord of the
Admiralty, whether ha was prepared to contradict certain
unfounded statements which had appeared in the conti-
nental newspapers, sad thanes copied into English papers,
as to the proceedings of the commander of the fleet in
the Mediterranean, and particularly the following : "that
Lord Clarence Paget, the commander of the fleet in the
Mediterranean, in passing through Rome, requested an
audience of the Holy Father, which was granted, and
lasted above an boar ; and, afterwards, that he directed
his way to the Farness Palace, where his Majesty Francis
IL granted him an audience, as desired."
Lord H. LENNOX thought it unnecessary to give any
answer to the question, which, moreover, was not one
which it was within the province of the Admiralty to
answer. No donbt if Lord C. Paget had visited Rome be
would, with other visitors, have paid his respects to the
head of the country ; bat the fact was that Lord C.
Paget had not visited Rome at all, but was now on a visit
to the Sultan at Constantinople. (Laughter.)

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT. —biamsrowE, JULY V.
(Before Mr. Baron Channell.)

Ashley Bertrand, alias Ashley Nabokoff, alias Count
Sobieski, and who has also gone by several other aliases,
was charged with stealing a gold cross, the property of
Thomas White. He was also charged with stealing a gold
watch, the property of Esther Carpenter ; and there was a
third indictment against him for stealing property from
the Globe Hotel at Chatham.

Mr. Barrow and Mr. F. J. Smith conducted the prose-
cution. The prisoner, who is a Pole, claimed his right to
be tried by a jury partly composed of foreigners, and he
also applied to the court to assign him a counsel to defend
him. The learned judge observed that it was not usual
for the court to assign counsel to prisoners in such cases,
but as the prisoner was a foreigner probably some gentle.
man at the bar would watch the case on his behalf; and
upon this suggestion Mr. Poland consented to do so.
The career of the prisoner appeared to have been a most
extraordinary one, and the facts disclosed in the course of
the inquiry left no doubt that he was a most accomplished
swindler.

The jury. having returned a verdict of Guilty, three pre-
vious convictions for felony were formally proved against
the prisoner, under which he appeared to have been sen-
tenced to different periods of imprisonment and hard
labour. _ _ _

The prisoner was shortly afterwards brought np for
judgment, and Baron Channell, addressing him, said that
it appeared to him that he was a very dangerous person,
and -had evidently for • very long period been pursuing
• course of crime. He therefore felt it to be his duty with
a view to protect the public from persons of his class, to
sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for seven
years.

THE FIRS AND LOSS OF LIFE AT ROSTON.

Upon the resumption of the proceedings at the
inquiry yestenlay several witnesses were examined.
Mr. Henderson Gatehouse, foreman of the Fire Brigade,
and Mr. Burton, the engineer, stated that they had
examined the premises, and they found that the fire
had originated in the basement. They found no accumu•
lations or trace of accumulations of combustibles, he.
An apprentice named Till said that the business had
been brisk latterly, but not extra brisk. There was a good
deal of stook on the premise..
Mr. Joggles Aida that three months ego be noticed the
shop floor to be very warm over a basement gas jet, and he
ordered that the jet is question should be always extin•
guiehed when not absolutely required.
The Coroner having left it to the jury to say whether
they would again adjourn or deal with the case as it stood,
The jury returned a verdiet, " That the deceased war
burnt to death through a certain house taking fire, buthow
the said fire originated there is no evidence to show."

EYE ELECTION.

The election of a member of parliament for this
borough in the room of Sir E. C. Kerrison took place yes-
terday. The only candidate was the Hon. George William
Barrington, private secretary to the Earl of Derby, who ap-
peared with the support of Sir. E. Kerrison. The election
took place at the Town-hall, and the mayor, Mr. S. Peck,
presided as returning officer. Major Mitchell proposed,
and Mr. H. Wells sec:aided, the Hon. G. W. Barrington,
and no other candidate keine nominated be was de-
clared elected. Mr. Barrington then addressed the electors,
stating that he was a conservative from conviction not from
the accident of birth, he having as many relations on one
side as on the other. The days of the retrograde policy of
the old Uric., were past, and the conservative was as much
the friend of progress and of the working man as the liberal.
When the late government resigned because they were
beaten on a point of detail, everyone was astonished that
they resigned. The conservatives had no notion of taking
offios ; they were numerically in a minority, but as an
homogeneous body they were stronger than any
other party in the House of Commons. They numbered
some 290 good men and true, who would stick to
their flag, whilst the liberal party was divided, and no
government stronger than the present could be formed.
When another reform bill was brought forward, ha cared
not by what government, he would give it his best consi-
deration, but the claims of the counties to further repre-
sentation must be recognised fora reform bill to be satis-
factory. Tee returns obtained by the late government
showed that the working men were represented in boroughs
to the tune of a fourth of the constituencies. He did not
say that that was sufficient, and would be glad to see the
intelligent and thrifty working man admitted to the Mut-
chile, but he objected to. any arbitrary figure being fixed,
and to universal suffrage. He was in Hyde-park on Mon-
day night, and after the disorder was over spoke to some
knots of intelligent mechanics, who he wasglad to
find deplored as much as he did the excesses of the rabble.
I He was for non-intervention in foreign politics, and ex-
pressed himself strong' in favour of the abolition of the
malt tax. The closed with a vote of thanks to

ment of the bills and programme for the meeting was then

EMIGRANT SHIPS.

The C'OONOB DON directed attention to the treat-
ment of emigrants on board the steamers plying between
livetpool and New York, and to the great prevalence of
cholera during the last three months on board many of
those vessels.
Mr. ADDERLEY remarked that the emirants who had
suffered from cholera on board ships clearing out of the
port of Liverpool, were for the moat part from Holland
and Germany, and in all probability predisposed to the
malady which had subsequently attacked them. As far
as he was aware, the provisions of the Passenger Act had
been complied with.
Mr. MAGUIRE said that, on the contrary, the provi•
stone of the act was notoriously evaded, and mentioned
Mews. Wigram's ship the London as having been allowed
to go to sea without proper inspection.
Mr. GRAVES observed that Liverpool shipowners were
perfectly willing that the provision made by Omni for the
health and comfort of emigrants should be submitted to the
most searching investigation.

Caleadnd a careful consideration of its clauses.
The Landed Estates Court (Ireland) Bill also passed

THE WAR IN ITALY.

(fox ous anew. cozasernonser WITH THE rums
ARMY.)
REVERE, JULY 12.
The great news of the day is that Rovigo has
been evacuated by the Austrian, who had some
time ago sent 40,000 men there. This has been
evidently done in consequence of the approach of
General Cialdini's corps, which had advanced in
the direction of Badia, Lendinara, and Rovigo, in
somewhat the shape of a half circle, and which had
established headquarters at Sariano, a few miles
from the Tartaro, to the south-east of Leguago.
Cialdini's plan is probably to cut the communise.
tions between the Austrians who lately held Rovigo
and those who still hold the Quadrilateral. As the
former, having passed north of the Adige at Ro-
_

vigo when retreating, can go up the left side of the
river as far lig Legnago, the question seems to be
whether by passing at Badia Cialdini will not
leave them the time to do it. This might bring
about a battle, as also an attack on the Austrian
positions, should they succeed in getting under the
protection of the Legnano fortress.

However it may be, I intend to pass the Po
to Ostiglia, where I shall be able to learn more of
Cialdini's movements, and of what has already been
accomplished by him.
This little village of Revere has the tricolour
flags flying from the windows, and they are also out
at Ostiglia on the other shore, as I can see from
here. Ostiglia, however, was only abandoned by
the Austrian authorities during the last few days,
and it has had a panic owing to the report that they
were coming back with a vengeance. This, how-
ever, having only proved to be a joke of some boys,
the flags waved again, and the Austrian arms were
once mare put down. A rich proprietor in the
place nearly died of fear, and may be counted as
the only casualty in this ludicrous episode.
The official list of the Italians hors de combat at
Customs has been published, and gives the follow-
ing figures :-355 officers hors de combat—i. e., 69

THE CAPTAIN OF THE CALEDONIA.

The Earl of POWIS rose to ask if the letter from the
captain of the Caledonia to the editor of the Times, which
appeared in that paper on Friday last, and detailed the
proceediop of the ah p was approved br the Admiralty.
The Earl of DERBY had not seen the letter to which the
noble earl's questionliad reference, until having received
notice he had searched for it, and found that it contained
full details of the proceedings of the ship. He did notknow
whether the noble earl desired to enter into the question of
the facts which were under investigation at the present
moment, but with regard to the conduct of the captain he
(Lord Derby) must express his surprise that an officer of
the experience and high study of Captain Foley should
have been so indiscreet as to make a communication to the
Times newspaper when he did not make a report to the
Admiralty. If the latter had been merely • copy of a re-
port addressed to the Admiralty there could have been no
possible objection to it. It was a matter of great regret to
his right hon. friend the First Lord of the Admiralty that
the first sitting of the board should have been occupied in
passing a grave censure on an officer of the experience and
standing of Captain Foley.
The Earl of HARDWICK'? said that though the conse-
quences of having written to the public papers bad been of
no importance, yet it was of the greatest importance that
the house should wise the opportunity of expressing its
opinion that the officers who were employed in any parti-
cular department under the state should not communicate
their opinions to the public papers, but make their reports
to their commanders-in-chief at home. It was a matter of
great impropriety on the part of any officer to deal with
subjects in any other way than in addressing their own
chiefs. (Hear, hear.)
Lord FOLEY wu understood to say that he agreed in
the observations made as to the impropriety of any officer
writing to the public papers, and therefore he could not
defend his brother from the remarks which had been made.
His brother himself very much regretted what be
had done, but the reason he gave for writing the letter
was that he saw a statement in the paper in question to
the effect that his ship had been out only ten days, and
he wrote the letter to contradict that statement, and to
show what operations his ship had performed. However,
his brother very much regretted having written the let-
ter. (Hear, hear.)
The subject then dropped.
The Crown Lands Bill and the Carriage and Deposit of
Dangerous Goods Bill severally passed through commit-
tee and were reported to the house.
The house adjourned at seven minutes past 6 o'clock.

in the war now being carried on on the continent, withoui,
parliament having a previous opportunity of expressing
its opinion as to the policy of such intervention.
London, England, 1866-07-17

DOOR BILL.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in moving the second
reading of this bill, stated that its object was to make the
oerner of • dog liable by summary process for any damage
done by the animal, following the principle of the measures
recently passed to prevent the worrying of sheep by dogs.
The bill was read a second time.
TRANSUBSTANTIATION, &c., DECLARATIONS
ABOLITION BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this. bill,
The Earl of DEBBY hed that the noble marcjnis who
lad charge of the bill would not persevere with this stage.
The bill was one professing to retain the exclusion of
Roman catholics from certain offices, but to abolish the
oaths taken on appointment against transubstantiation.
There was no question of principle involved, the question
turning mainly on the terms of the oaths and the manner
in which they were taken. These terms were considered
to be oppressive to Rama catholies, and if they were he
ehould not have the slightest objection to apply a remedy.
The opinion of the late government as expressed by the
late Chancellor of the Exchequer was that these oaths
should be dealt with as part of • huge question, as there
was a large number of oaths which it was the wise de.
termination of parliament to abolish if possible. Follow-
ing that opinion a commission had been appointed to con-
sider this question of abolition. That commission was now
sitting, and as the question was not • pressing or practical
grievance, and as moreover the oath sought to be abolished
was ideatical with that taken by the sovereign at his or
her coronation, he hoped the noble marquis would not
prim his bill until the report of the commission had been
mowed.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE Gould have wished,
as the House of Commons had put upon record its desire
In abolish these objectionable oaths, that this bill maid '
have been proceeded with. He himself thought the oaths
most objectionable, and it was therefore with much reluc-
tance that he found himself obliged to yield to the sug-
gestion of the noble earl.
Kid RUSSELL concurred with the noble earl at the
heed of the government in thinking that the subject could
be best dealt with by a commission.
Lord LYVEDRN was glad to learn that the subject was
in the way of being dealt with comprehensively. He would
remind the noble earl that the coronation oath was not
included in this bill, neither had the commission any power
to inquire into any oaths taken by members of parhament,
a singular exception' in his opinion, seeing that the com-
mission was empowered to inquire into the oaths taken by
very high functionaries of the state.
Earl GRANVILLE thought the noble marquis had done
right in yielding, but he could not epee with the noble
lord in thinking that there was no urgency in the matter.
The noble earl's government had entered aloe on the
expressed principle of dealing impartially by all parties in
Ireland. but a lord-lieutenant and a lord chancellor had
just been appointed, and both had been obliged to take
these offensive oaths, notwithstanding that the House of
Commons had just unanimously passed a bill fm their
abolition. Order discharged.

Count de Barral, Italian Minister at Berlin, have
accompanied the King to the Prussian head-
quarters at Brunn. Negotiations are in program

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
VIENNA, JULY 16.

The assertions of the Berlin papers relative to
revolutionary symptoms in Hungary have been
semi-officially denied here. As proof to the con-
trary it has been pointed out that several members
of the Imperial family are now at Buda, that
many volunteers have been enrolled in the Imperial
army, that a great number of the officers of the
former flowed (national army) have placed them-
selves at the disposal of the government, and that
preparations are being made in Hungary for a levy
en Mang in the event of a Prussian invasion of
that country.

THE POLICY OF PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, JULY 16.

The official Staatsanzeigier of to-day says :—" The
assertions of various newspapers that Prussia has
demanded the cession of Bohemia and Moravia as
a condition of peace are entirely unfounded. A
glance at the map shows that the possession of
these countries by Prussia would not be a source
of strength, but of weakness ; national interests
also would render such an acquisition undesirable.
The aim of the policy of Prussia is directed towards
the establishment of a new Confederation and the
convocation of a German Parliament. Connexion
with countries only in part appertaining to German
nationality would place obstacles in the way of the
assembly of the Parliament."

ITALY.

FLORENCE, JULY 16.

It is believed that the government will send

IMPERIAL BANK (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Alderman Lass[,
M.P., in the chair. 1
The Smarr/tar (Mr. J. Manning), read the report,which
has already appeared in the irispress.
The Cselnaax, in moving the adoption of the report
and accounts, commenced by alluding to the unusual
interest felt in the bank meetings now being
held, in consequence of the recent panic and
the disastrous losses which accompanied it. A great
many causes bad been assigned for that panic.
Some had attributed it to limited liability, but it was a
remarkable fact that limited liability, companies were all
able to pay their creditors 20s. m the pound. He
did not think there was much in what had been
laid about the " bears ;" for one man had
ee good a right to sell forward as another had • right to
buy forward. His own opinion was that people had been
overtrading. (Hear.) They had been leaving the old ways,
lag a great deal of the paper that was offered, thought the
best course was to withdraw, and prepare for the storm.
(Cheers.) At the same time, they had • better business
thaw they had six months ago, and • larger number
of new accounts had been opened in the last week
than in any prevMus week. That bank was not
involved in the crisis, and they could therefore speak as
midden. They had, in fact, no help from the Bank of
England, and did not require any. Their rebate on bills
lad been taken at 10 per tent., and they bad gone to the
teed to the extent of 10,0001. in the last half'
year. Let them learn from the experience of the bet half-
Year that they should sot have too small a capital or aim at
tan Loge a dividend. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he thanked
the shareholder for their conduct daring the panic, when
me shares continued to stand like • rock. (Hear, hear.)_
After some dissuasion the report was adopted, and the
Recognise terminated in the usual manner.
