BUSINESS OP THE HOUSE.

In reply to Mr. Citawrolu,
The CHANCILLGit at the EXCHEQUER. said he would
take no new champ on the Customs resolutions until the
coming week. He proposed to takes vote on the income-
tax to-morrow (this day), in a committee on Ways and
Means.

Mr. WALPOLE said be understood the right hon. gentle-
man to state that the distinction between /DOOMS of 1001.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as
at t advised. Ibl) alteration would be made in the reef,-
Ititione, the distinction referred to would be provided for
bithe hill. As to the collection of three quarters' income-Mx
within the financial year, that would be in accordance with
the present law, and therefore it would not require provisions
in the bill.

Mr. iIOBSMAN inquired whether the vote for the m-
ppeennweee the China war would he the first government

Loni J. RUSSELL said that vote would be taken the

Uppoon the order of the day Wog rend for the further
coesidentiun of thu report —Revolution 13 (Malt duty)—
several neembers on the opposition side of the house urged
the postponement of the debate, on the ground of the late.
usoli hoer (half past 11).
ILL DEEDD3 mid that 'simnel members had left the
Woe, in the belief that the question would not OW= on
WI sight.
Mr. LYtION moved the adjournment of the debate.
The louse divided, and the numbers were :

be adi ace of very great idtptieleace, aad the other by
the . member for Leicestershire. It would be
convenient to know whether either of these mo-
tions was really intended to be 'debated, because
the Ghetto= B:111 after the sense if db., hoes'
should have been War upon some points ocienteted with
the paper duty, which followed pretty much in the train
if the recent voted the berme, would be in a cond-
ition to go forward, and them, would be nothing else to
delay it.
Sir B. BRYDGES observed that many lies. luemben; bad
tsll the house, on the understanding that the malt duty
question would not be brought on that ht.
Thli URANCELLOR of the EXCQ, DER replied that
there here two queetioes involved in it. The government
had nude an meat not to lay upon the article im-
ported ilaqr additional duty greater than the average of the
duty to whisk the imitator was subjected by the Excise re-
gulations here. They could not eetinuite this at higher
than Mc a garter, and therefore although the difference
between 255. and 26e. was small, it would he a breach of
faith if they accepted the 265. amendment proposed by the
hoe. and learned gentleman. But if it were intended to
raise a debate on the whole question of the admission'of the
foreign malt, all a question of principle, that debate might
be taken ea well in committee, and then much time would
be saved, for the Customs Bill might pass through the other
stages first.
Sir F. KELLY mid the question war a very important
one to graziers and to growers of barley, as well as to the
manufacturers of malt, and he therefore gave notice that,
when the report of the committee on customs was brought
up, he should move to recommit the resolution concerning
malt.

The motion was then withdrawn.
The Imam= Bill was read a second time.

The Probate and Administration Bill, with the Lords'
Amendments, was brought up and considered.
The Adulteration of Food and Drink Bill passed through
committee.

The Consolidated Fund Bill was read a third time.
The other orders of the day were disposed of, and
The house adjourned at 10 minutes before 12.

FRANCK.

The Moniker of to-day contains • decree nomi-
nating M. Michel Chevalier senator.
The Monikur also contains a report of the Minis-
ter of War, Marshal Randon, proposing, as the
ideas of war are receding, to reduce the effective of
the battalions of Chaireurs from eight to six compa-

The report is followed by s decree of the Eruperor

SAVOY.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), writing yesterday evening, says :
" At the moment I write Savoy and Nies are pro-
bably annexed to France, by munic►pal manifesta-
tion rather than by universal suffrage. In certain
cases of annexation a manifestation is speedier and
more certain than popular suffrage ; and should
annexation be contemplated in any other direction,
Savoy might serve as a precedent. But, what will
hardly fail to produce much sensation in Europe, is
the fact that the whole of Savoy is taken by France,
and nothing left to Switzerland of what she has a
right to. This, I must say, is contrary to the de-
claration of the French government that the inte-
rests of Switzerland should be cared for ; those in-
terests meaning the annexation of the 'neutralised
provinces to Switzerland on the annexation of Savoy
to France. These promises are, it appears, dung to
the winds ; and Switzerland will be left as exposed
as she can well be, and easy snow, through her,
elsewhere. This will be beard with consternation

in Switzerland ; and it may not be regarded with
absolute indifference throughout Europe. The
Swiss government protest against this wrong.
They have protested at Turin ; and I hear that M.
Kern, Minister of the Helvetic Confederation in
Paris, has already handed to M. Thouvenel, French
Minister of Foraign Affairs, a protest against any
measure haviag for object the annexation of Savoy
to France. Moreover, the Swiss government will
address a note to the powers represented at the
Congress of Vienna, inviting them to maintain the
status gnu in Savoy, and the guarantees of neu-
trality accorded to Switserbuid in a part of Savoy."

DRESDEN, Tin /WAY.

The official Dresden Journal publishes a powerful
article on the annexation of Savoy, in which it
says :

" The whole blame is to be attributed to the
policy of England, which shook the basis of peace
agreud upon at Villafranca, and to the moire atti-
tude of the other Powen on the 'mi.-realisation of
the treaty of Zurich. To offer any opposition at
the present moment would be too late, as the an-
nexation of Savoy to France may be regarded aa an
accomplished fact "

DEMONSTRATION AT BERNK

A communication from Berne, 26th,says : A meet-
ing was held yesterday at the cavalry barracks
on the Convocation of the Helvetia Society ;
upwards of 4,000 persons were present. In ad-
dition
to a considerable number of members of the
Federal Council, Federal Assembly, and go-
vernments of the surrounding Cantons, the
Ministers of England and Prussia were present.
The meeting voted the following proposition :-
1 " We declare that we support unanimously the pro-
' test of the Swiss Federal Council against the Moor-
Iporation with France of the neutralised districts of
Savoy; and we approve of the notice which cloclaires
Ithat military measures will be taken to insure that
the protest becarried out." At Vevey a similar meet-
ing took plate the same day, 1,500 persons being
present. It adopted a resolution of the same
character.

It is asserted that a modification of the Ministry

FRANCE AND ROME.

PAP" TRUPADAT MORNING.
The Coastitistiownel, in an article signed by its
chief editor, M. Grandguillot, treating of the pos-
sibility of the departure of the French army from
Rome, says :
" It has always been admitted that we could not
remain indefinitely at Rome. The Roman govern-
ment having appeared to desire our departure,
France waits only that the safety of the Pope be
assured, but will not leave Rome until replaced by
the army of an Italian power.

" Negotiations with Naples have been 'Token of,
and lithe course of events should lead to such an
end, France certainly will not raise any obstacles."

Some of the principal Milk railway stooks,
after showing steadiness In dm morning, have been
unfavourably affected by the rise in the Bank
rate of discount. Great Walesa and London and
North Western stocks exhilin a Asians of # to *
per cent., compared with the four o'clock quotations
of yesterday. Upon the whole, however, the mar-
ket is steadier in character. South Eastern and Ca-
ledonian are fairly supported. Midland is in
exceptional demand, and has risen * to 1 per cent.
London and North Western stock is now quoted

AUSTRIA AND rreLy.

The Vienna journals publish a rather cursors
document, which confirms the information already
published relative to the indirect and disguised
intervention of Austria in the Roman States. It
is a kind of proclamation which M. de Bach, the
Austrian Ambassador at Rome, addresatd to the
Austrians who enrolled themselves in the papal
anny, and in which he exhorted them, in the name
of the Emperor, their master, to do their duty,
and to justify the expectations of the Austi:an
army, whose ranks they have temporarily quitted,
in order to nerve the sacred cause of the church.
In case of reverse, the foreseeing solicitude of the
government would again, the document states,
adn•it those battalions of volunteers in their pre-
sent formation, and with " the officers retaining
the'- grade and their rights," into the ranks of the
`•nperral army.

for her reception, and where the people, not being
allowed to know the very sufficient reason for the
disappointment, were greatly displeased.

We read in the Revue Bourguirwne :

It is no longer possible to cherish any illusion about the
vintage. It will be decidedly bad whatever weather we
may have between this and the wine harvest. The con.
tinue4 bad weather has done irreparable mischief. In point
of quality the wise of 11360 must to a certainty be aa bad
as that of any year will•`' memorf.

The Courrier de la Champarp a 4 gives quite at dis-
couraging an account:
We are beginning to doubt whether our grapes will be
worth gathering. The nights are cold ; there is no sun 41
taw daytime, and the grapes not only do not ripen, but
scarcely grow. They are hardly bigger than peas, and only
here and there one begins to chaste colon-.
Since the above paragraphs were written the
weather has been worse than ever. From Sunday
morning to Tuesday morning it rained in torrents,
with scarcely half-an-hour's cessation. Yesterday
and to-day it was very cold, and now the clouds
show for rain again. In many of the wine districts
the grapes are rotting fast. Some few vineyard's in
the extreme south seem only to be favoured.

BELGIIIIL

The 30th anniversary of the establishment of the
national independence of Belgium was celebrated
at Brussels on Sunday. As in preceding years,
the cannon were fired early in the morning, the
public buildings were decorated with flags, the
societies of archers, cross-bow men, &c., and also
the singing societies, promenaded through the
principal streets with music and banners, and after-
wards competed for prizes ; and there were grand
open air concerts, gratuitous theatrical perform-
ances, illuminations, Arc. ; there was also the open-
ing of the horticultural exhibition of the Royal Lin-
nean Society, which was visited by the King and
the Duke and Duchess de Brabant. But the grand
event of the day was a display of rifle shooting, the
first that has taken place there. It carne off in
the plain near the Northern Railway station, and
was attended by a vast crowd of sp.ctators on
foot, in carriages, and on horseback. The Ministers
of the Interior and of Public Works (MM. Rogier
and Vanderslichten) were present. The firing
began at 1 o'clock, preceded by a discharge of
artillery, and was not concluded until 0. In addi-
tion to a number of Belgians, a great many Bava-
rians English, Swiss and Dutch took part in the
competition. The Bavarians were most numerous ;
they wore green hats, and had on their breasts
several medals won in previous matches. The
Dutch were very warmly received ; it was the first
time they had publicly " fraternised" with the
Belgians on a September festival. The whole of
the day's rejoicings passed off with great spirit,
notwithstanding the rain fell heavily all the time.

The firm commenced business in December 1856,
with a capital of only 1,2001., and have since en-
tered into operations of great magnitude. The
transactions from the date named up to June 1867,
amounted to 33,5931. ; during the next half year to
101,0001 ; in 1858, to 186,2841. ; in 1859, to
467,5081 ; and during the present year to 329,6861.
The connexion between the firm and Messrs. John
Duncan and Co., of Dundee, was referred to at
length ; it was argued that operations of such mag-
nitude could not have been conducted had it not
been for the artificial credit afforded by the latter
firm, who now claim 15,5561., although it is at the
same time alleged that they have overdrawn their
account to the extent of about 90,0001. This state-
ment was denied by their legal representative, who
insisted that his clients have had no complicit, in
the reckless trading carried on by the failed firm.
In Dec. 1866, Smith, Sinclair, and Co.
took stock, when their gross profits ap-
to be 6,362/ Since that period 2,1301.

1,3671. on "adventures ;" 10,3231. on jute ; and
4,8651 on the manufactory. The expenses have
also absorbed 4,0811. ; discounts, 6,4!990018.; sad the

partners' dra (four years), 6,018/. The con-
summenta have been to Australia, Monte Video,
Algoa Bay, &c., but it appears to be somewhat pro-
blematical whether the surplus (6,4611.) taken cre-
dit for on this account in the balance-sheet will be
realised. The books were kept with regularity up
to a certain period, but have since been allowed to
fall in wear. It was mentioned that the partners
are not prepared to make any offer, not being able
to get any friends to guarantee the payment of a
composition. In the event of the estate being
wound up out of the Court of Bankruptcy, it was
added, it would probably realise ss. or 6s. in the
pound. The adoption of bankruptcy proceedings,
however, was advocated by a gentleman represent..
ing Masers. John Duncan and Co., as well as by
another, who proposed a resolution to this effect.
The show of hands being in the same sense, an
adjudication was made in the Bankruptcy Court
in the afternoon.

the 27th ult., makes use of this journal to commtnicate to
them his grateful acknowledgments of that flattering de-
monstration.

- The Musintento of Genoa states that on the
lit inst. the Austrian authorities at Venice übi;ged
two Neapolitan vessels, which had hoisted the tri-
colour flag, to haul it down again; whence, the
journal adds, it would appear that Austria dues not
recognise the present Neapolitan government.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ma' owl

PARIS, TUESDAT EVENING.

The Duke de Gramont left Paris yesterday for
Rome, taking with him an autograph letter from
the Emperor to the Pope, which, no doubt, urges
his Holiness to attempt to conjure the storm which
rages around him by a tardy concession of reforms,
analogous to those upon which the Kiug of Naples
now rests the last hope of his dynasty.
The Corresposciamor Bit/tier, referring to the ru-
mour that the proposed conferences were adjourned
till October, expresses au opinion that they will
never take place at all, " because between this and
then events of infinitely higher importance will
probably claim the attention of Europe."
The Emperor is now receiving at St. Cloud a
series of deputations from various branches of the
manufacturing and agricultural iuterests, and
listens, it is said, with patient attention to all
complaints proffered against his administration,
his ministers, and his prefects.
The news that two English ships of war bad
been ordered to Syria almost simultaneously with
the movement of Admiral Julienne, somewhat
calmed the uneasy feeling which prevailed yester-
day at the Bourse. It is, however, not considered
certain that the French and English governments
are acting altogether in concert, although it is hoped
so. The Route, which was rather languid through-
out the day, though always quoted somewhat
higher than yesterday, closed at 68fr. 80e. and
68fr. 85c., with a rise of sc. and 15c. Mobilier left
off without change. The Orleans Railway rose Mr. ;
Eastern, 2fr. 50c. ; Lyons, Mr. ; and Southern,
lfr. 25c. Western and Northern were without
change.
" The French government," says the Si4ele, "has
declared itself satisfied with the explanations and
excuses which have been transmitted by the cabinet
of Naples, on the subject of the late attack on
Baron Brenier."

THE SICILIAN REVOLUTION.

The Turin Gazette gives the following particulars
respecting the new Sicilian ministry :
Baron Joseph Natoli (Foreign Affairs), is an em;nent
barrister ; he was representative of the people in the par-
liament of Palermo in 1848, and a member of the deputa-
tion who offered the crown of Naples to the son of Charles
Albert. After the revolution he retired to Piedmont,
and led a rather secluded life. Gaetano Datte (In.
tenor), is a writer of oonsiierable talent, and • first
rate Latinist. His principles are liberal, and his habits
of the most pacific kind. He is about 55 years
of ago. Gaetano Laloggia (Public Instruction), is
celebrated u • physician, an easy writer, and an eloquent
speaker. He is a very active man, an enemy to routine,
and loves liberty for its own take. Francesco di Giovanni
(Finance), is a clever man of figures, and was in the
administration of his country in 18:34 and 1848. His
probity and intelligence are above all praise. After the
revolution, notwithstanding his very limited pommies),
means, he refusal to accept any office under the Bourbon
government, but devoted his energies to the establishment
of a sulphur refinery in • remote province.

KENSINGTON GARDEN'S.

Mr. E. JAIKEiI asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether • portion of Kensington-gardens, which had
recently bees fenced off with iron hurdles in the shape and
sise of • " two-yeareld course," was intended for the pur-
pose of forming • road from Tyburnis to Belginvia, or whe-
ther the object was to afford accommodation to the eques-
trian portion of the population, to the exclusion of the pe-
drearier' in the moat agreeable and most frequented part of
Kensingtee
Mr. OlClWritie'rtated that when the public were formally
admitted to Hyde-park and Kensington-prdens, it was the
wish of her Hannay, as of her royal predecessor, that they
should subserve to the greatest amount of recreation and
enjoyment to all classes, rich and poor—to those who used
horses se well as those who went on foot. Recently great
additions had been made to that enjoyment by planting
dowers along the sides of the walks and also
by Melly multiplying the number of the seats.
It appeared to him that one class of the community had
been overlooked, sad that was the class of persons who
hail been in the habit of riding in Rotten-row. It consisted
of persons of various professions—lawyers, doctors, and
others, who served the public, persons of all dames, who
were obliged to take their exercise in a short space of time.
They were now confined in a narrow road, were obliged to
go backwards and forwards in a narrow space of ground
without being able to diverge either to the right or to the
left. An arrangement had been made for an entrance at
the west-end of Rotten-row, where horses might ester be-
tween the two gates that were devoted to pedestrians.
Therefore, persons who were desirous of walking
might have the choice of passing in either at the
right or the left. Fhisavenue was mainly devoted to the rids,
and he did not think that if the avenue were exclusively
given to the Men, there would be any ground of com-
' plaint by those who were in the habit of walking there.
it.tea-row was • narrow slip, only • mile and • quarter
long, while the pedestrians m Hyde-park and Kensington-
, ganlens had upwards of 600 acres. These walkers were not
absolutelyexcleded from the avenue, inasmuch as the fences
were so arranged that people on foot might still walk in the
avenue. He thought that this opening into the Uxbridge-
road, at Bayswater, would be generally convenient to the
public. He wee sorry if any of the hon. and learned gen-
tleman's constituents were dissatisfied, for by the new
arrangements an advantage was given not only to riders but
to walkers, because the solitude of Kensington Gardens
would be relieved by the presence of riders both male and
female.

THEorrß:tcEs LV LEBANON.

Lord C. HAMILTON asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether he had bad any official confirm*.
ties of the outreges reported to have taken place in the dis-
trict of the Lebanon, and whether the representatives of
the Christian powers had been able to decide upon any
conibined course of action calculated to put an immediate
'top to such wholesale =assacres.
Lord J. RUSSELL, who was all but inaudible in the
gallery, was understood to reply that the government bad
received official information of the occurrences in question,
but the statements did not cotes up to those
which they had seen in the papers. With regard to
the mesas to be taken by the Christian powers,
their representatives bad met end had deter-
mined to send troops to put down those outrage*. Fund
Poch& had been appointed as commissioner to Investigate

PIEDMONT.

A Turin letter, of May 18, thus speaks of some
of the recent clerical arrests :
At Bologna and Faenza the government has just struck
a blow which will make the Armenia and Monde
cry out "murder." The Bishop of Fannie and a first-
class vicar of Bologna, having felt called upon, out
of the fullness of their apostolic zeal, to protest
against the annexation, and to write circulars tell-
ing the clergy not to take part in the "Te Deum"
at the national fetes of the Statuto, the government quietly
sent an order to have them locked up just like common dis-
turbers of the peace. The bishop is under arrest in his
palace, and the vicar is in Torrone gaol. The latter no
sooner found himself within the four walls of a prison than
he lost all faith in the celestial character of his mission. In
anticipation of him interrogatory, he protests his innocence
to the turnkeys, and, with tears and lamentations enough
to touch the heart of a bunch of keys, endeavours to con-
vince them—notwithstanding the awkward fact of a dozen

circulars in his own handwriting being in evidence—that
all the blame lies with the Holy Congregation.
