Sia,—As prise-fighting is vindicated as a truly
British sport, and the prize-rings a national institution,
ought not the public to know to whom it is indebted for
their maintenance ! Who are these worthy persons who,
under the diecoursgements of an sge of fastidious intellec-
tualism, preserve incorrupt the manly traditions of Tom
and Jem Belcher! I z.ee it affirmed that members of both
houses, authors, poets, and even clergymen, were present at
the fight between Heenan and Sayers. When gentlemen of
this class appear elsewhere—whether at Exeter-hall
or at the Derby—their names form part of the
report. We ought to be acquainted with the patriots
who, when the effeminate and craven were snoring in their
beds, were up and speeding away in the morning nir to vin-
dicate the character of their country. So much light should

PORTUGAL.

(non OUR OWN COLIZSPOYDENT.)
LISBON, Jun 7.
I regret to notice the death, by apoplexy, of
General Jose Jorge Lonreiro, who has long_ been
esteemed one of the first men in Portugal. He was
among the few remaining officers who served
through the Peninsular campaign, and was always
considered a soldier of great ability and courage.
The expedition to Angola will, it is said, start on
Sunday next. It is high time ,that this much
talked-of expedition were on its way, for according
to the latest accounts the Portuguese have suffered
considerably in that colony from the inroads of the
natives.
The Mindello is under orders for the 16th inst.
to convey the King's father, Dom Fernando, to
London en route to Dresden, to visit his daughter
and Prince George of Saxony.
Since the departure of the last packet there has
been a slight rise in the rate of exchange on Lou-
don, in consequence of the large supply of hills from
Braid. The quotations are :--London, 534, thirty
days' sight ; fi3k, ninety days' sight ; Paris, 596 ;
Genoa, 629 • Hamburg, 47g. The stock market

alteration in prices.

THE CENSUS BILL

&r C. DOIJOLIIB asked whether it was intended to go
on with the O Bill to-morrow, and whether the go-
vernment were prepared to give up the clause so much ob-
jected to.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said as to going on with the bill to-
morrow, that would depend upon what time was previously
occupied. He could nos, therefore, state whether it would
be in his power to bring on the bill, but his wish wee to
do so. With reprd to the provisions of the bill to which
the honourable baronet bad Ouded, he had already stated
his recliner to withdraw the penalty which he had pro-
posed to introduce for the purpose of obtaining information
respecting the religions profession of each individual. He
would be ready to withdraw it in committee. He must
take steeples to one remark which had been made, that
it was intandedbT the government to ask for the religious
opinions of each individual;; that was not proposed to be
done, but to ask forSAVI the religious

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The subscribers to this magnifioeut lyric establish-
ment were last evening afforded an opportunity of witnessing
another triumph of the skill of its enterprising lame. The
Floral-hall, which, subsequently to the volunteer ball, has
been only occasionally used as a promenade for visitors
to the opera, is now about to become a great metropolitan
flower mart, and Its application to this purpose was
fitly inaugurated last night by a private view, which
her Majesty graciously honoured with her presents.
The arrangement of plants and flowers was perfectly
novel, and most effective. At one end of the hall
was an inclined plane 80 feet high, composed exclusively of
various plants, extending from the floor almost to the
ceiling, and having the appearance of a vast floricultural
carpet. In the middle, and at the other end of the build-
ing, were magnificent cones, formed of the choicest
plants in flower, while the centre and sides of the
hall were filled with the rarest varieties of flower-
ing shrubs. One circular stand, containing thou-
sands of bouquets, occupied a conspicuous position near
the west end of the building, and, with the plane before re-
ferred to, proved the great feature of the exhibition. The
aspect of the ball when illuminated for the Queen's visit, at
sine o'clock, was most picturesque and fairylike. Her
tar ty arrived punctually at the hour sppointed,
was inseired at the market entrance by Mr.
Gm who conducted the royal party through the build-
ing. The Queen made the circuit of the hall twice or three
times, and expressed herself in very warm terms of admira-
tion of the whole exhibition. Passing from the Floral-hall
late the Operwhouse, her Majesty witnessed to the end a
magnificent performance of Meyerbesr's " lltnorah," at
which the most crowded audience of the season was present.
After the opera the whole of the company were per
matted to promenade in the Floral-hall, where the band of
the Coldstream Guards was in attendanee until half-plat
twelve o'clock.

iit;haiiersa throws open today and will be open to-
morrow for public exhibition. All who admire &wets, or
who feel an interest in their tasteful arrangement, should
certainly pay it a AM.

Sittings in Br eeo.--(Befere Lord Chief Jost* Erie and
Jestiesa William, Willis, and Bybee.)

OAKLEY V. OODDYLIX.-111Z 0114 T BILL CU/E.

The court having ordered a new trial in this cue, Mr.
James a few days ago obtained • rule to rescind the rule
for • new trial, unless the plaintiff should undertake to go
to trial at the sittings after this term at Guildhall. The
principal ground of the motion was that delay would very
much prejwiice the defendant, who bad been commanded to
return to his royal master the ex-Sing of Oude.
Mr. M. Chamber (with him Mr. Mactiamara) now showed
cause splint the rule, and submitted that • new trial hay-
ing been granted "as a matter of right." and not as a
favour the court had no power to direct the plaintiff to 4eto trial within a 'wide tame, any more than they could
it were a first trial, and there had been no undue delay. The
plaintiff was anxious to go to trial as soon as be could, with
proper regard to his own case being fully understood and
prerly laid before the jury.
Mr. Coleridge appeaerd in support of the rule.
The court discharged the rule.

BRITISH OCCUPATION 9F PALERMO.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether it was the fact that
the British admiral in the Mediterranean had sent marines
on shore to occupy the fort of Oast.Raman) at Palermo ;
and if so, whether the occupation was to be merely tempo-
rsry and for the of facilitating negotiations
Lord PALMEN said that an arrangement had been
agreed upon between the Neapolitan commander and Oari•
baldi to the effect that, pending their negotiatiorra, Castello,
mare should be occupied by the British admiral. Recent
occurrences, however, led the government to believe that
this occupation had not taken place.

THE SHIRR! ADD SRI BOLDUC'S.

On one point only the people are implacable, and that is
the death of the e4irri, who ere hunted down like wild
beasts, and shot wherever they are found. In the first
dais, especially, there were regular hunting expeditions
undertaken against those best known, and many were killed
before anyone could interfere. If one recollect, what
misery the esp.:menage of these people had entailed on the
population, one can scarcely be surprised at the popular
fury against them. . .

The desertions still continue, and, strange to say, mostly
among the non.comnuasioned officers, sergeant., and

corporals. Not only do all these ask to take service, but
likewise the 300 or 400 prisoners. Even the foreign mer.
cenaries begin to come in—►t any rate the better part of
them, who are disgusted with their own comrades and the
service. Almost every officer who goes over as parkssen-
taire is asked about the pay on this side, end had it not
been for our untimely patriotism, which disclaimed the
very idea of pay, no doubt the Severest would have been
open to an offer. It is, probably, not too late even now.
There is plenty of money at the Finanze for this or any other
purpose.

The Indian rupee paper was fairly supported,
the Five per Cent. closing at 98f to 1, and the
Five-and-a-Half per Cent. at 1031 to 104. The
cause of the disproportionate cheapness of the
Five-and-a-Half per Cents., as compared with the
Five per Cents., appears to consist in the circum-
stance that the market is well supplied with the
former, a considerable amount having been brought
on speculation for this market, in anticipation of
the effect of the closing of the loan. Tho half-
yearly dividend falls due on the Five-and-a-Half

Sts,—ln a letter which appeared in the Daily
Neve of yesterday it was stated that " a noble earl who
had been twice Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland under Lord
Derby" was present at the pugilistic encounter which took
place on Tuesday lad.
As this can only refer to me, I beg to inform you that I
was not present on that occasion, and that I never attended

Me should not have allowed the allusion to the noble
Earl to appear, if the rumour of his presence at the fight
had not been very common. We hope we have done his
lordship ho ill service in giving occasion to his note. Since
Tuesday we have learned that several of the eminent an-
there, artist*, and poets, whose names have been confidently
mentioned among those who were present at the fight, were
not within thirty miles of Farnborough, on that day.]

they had any intention to introduce a bill giving to the
bishop of the different dioceses power to determine and
adjui-.te in disputes arising between an incumbent and
his parishioners relative to the mode of performing divine
service. Or to any decorations which might be introduced
into the church. Ale disgraceful outrages at St. Geortd

stead of public despatches, with their ambass dor at Park
The postponement was asked for on ac aunt of the deten-
tion of Lord Cowley at Calais by had weather, it being is
possible for the packet to put to sea. If the mot ion neon
fixed for Monday, he should be 0..0.d in some ditticuky,
because he found that several noble lords had motions sin
the paper for that day. It was very desirable that his
motion should come on as soon as possible, as it seemed
Lord Cowley was must anxious to be present, and the noble
lord had left Paris for the express purpose.

BERLIN, FRIDAY.
Iu today's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the question of the constitution of Electoral Heraw
haat lace discussed. The Polish members of the
chamber declared that they would not take part in
the ilkeitssion. The Minister von Schleinitz said :
Tice (0041011 o( Hone not only concerns the lewd state of
affairs in a I iertion country, but 14•11 the fundamental laws
of the whole Confederation. The question of the constitu-
tion of Electood Hesse is a question of the constitution of
Cermany. lu that loonies Prussia relies on the circuit,-
stature that the resolution of the Federal Diet of 114152 ad.
mined the explanation that the constitution of IfKil hail
only been provisionally reopended, and Oil that ground
Prussia proposed to re-establish the constitution of 1831.
Prussia was obligor, to sineerely reuirunce a policy which went
look to the resolution of the Carlsbad l'ougreer, and which
hml not given any benefit to I :ermany. The resolution of
the Vederal Diet of the 24th March exceeds tho constitu-
tional competrucy of the Federal Diet. For that reason
Prussia uot only gave a diamentieut vote, but also expressed
reservation. The Prussiau govertuneut did not fail
to understand the ronseemences of her policy. The conutry
may be assun,l that the Prusaan government will adhere
to its point of view, and will pursue such • policy as the
honour and the power of Prussia demand.

tion that it should he brought on. The subject of the
Divorce Court would therefore take precedence unless his

concerned, he should be moot willing to postpone the com-
mittee on the Divorce Bill till a later boor of the evening,

tion of his despatch of the 13th March, wherein it
was pretended that Switzerland had proposed to

case France should take the whole of Savoy.

GENERAL DECAVERO.

The Marquis of wished tonal
the attention of their lordships for one moment to an
of a personal character which had been made to him-
1s
foreigner. The day before yesterday he received free
General Decaveroa letter, immurr to one he had addressed
six weeks since mentioning that the statements of winch
the gailaut genera! complained with reference to his coo-
duct n, Minister of War haul been founded upon ninny
letters received from persons at Florence on whose word be
(the noble marquis) hail placed the utmost reliance. But he
stated at the aims time that if Get/. Deravero would furnish
him with any authentic a/alumnae that he had had no know-
ledge of thine irregularities which were stated to have
occurred at the Wavollice during last autumn, he (the
Marquis of Nonoanby) would take the earliest opportunity
of giving publicity to that announcement. The eontenta of
the general's letter were a distinct disclaimer of the charges
made, and also it contained what he (the noble lord) had
never before seen, namely, a declaration on the part of the
present Minister of War that the mariner in which contracts
for the commissariat were arranged at Florence was nue\
that they del not come under the control of the War
Minister. He felt it right to declare his regret that he
should have stated anything calculated to give pain to
General Decavero. He moat frankly accepted the distinct
disclaimer of the gallant general, but he must say that the
report did not originate with him.

THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY.

The Patvie states that Garibaldi held a council
of war on the evening of the 21st inst., at
which it was unanimously decided that the insur-
rectional army, after having collected all the
neoeesary military forme, should march on Mes-
sina.The volunteers brought by Colonel Medici
had been chosen with great care ; among them were
officers and sub-officers of engineers. It was be-
lieved that the march on Mesons would commence
on the 28th instant. .

According to advioee from Palermo to the 18th
inst. the organisation of troops was progressing.
The national guard occupied the different posts in
the town. The first division of troops under the
command of Colonel Turr, Bizio, and Spanguro,
was ready for departure. The second division was
being organised. The marine was also being orga-
nised. The republican party adhered to the
government of King Victor Emanuel. Sardinian
flags were everywhere displayed.
Advicea have been received at Turin from Sicily
stating that Prince Torrearsa had been appointed
President of the Council and Deputy of the Dic-
tator Garibaldi at Palermo.
Count Cavour approves and maintains the pro-
test which was lodged at Naples by the Marquis of
Villamarina on the 11th inst., against the capture
of the Sardinian steamers by the Neapolitan fngate
Fulminante.
It is officially stated at Naples that the Comman-
der de Martino has received from theEmperorof the
French the formal assurance that France would not
recognise the annexation of Sicily to Piedmont.
It is also officially asserted that the Emperor, as
well as M. Thouveuel, has drawn particular atten-
tion to the fact that the court of the Tuileries has
not recognised the annexation of Tuscany and she
Romagna to Sardinia.
It is further stated that the King of Naples,

5, 1860.

yielding to the counsels of the Emperor, has de-
clared himself ready to enter frankly on the path
of reform by granting a liberal constitution., to be
placed under the guarantee of England and
France.
In exchange for this, the King of Naples de-
mands the guarantee of his possessions by the
Western Powers. This, however, has been refused.
The number of the prisoners taken on board the
two steamers captured by the Neapolitan frigate is
about 900, all of whom are confined in the prisons
of Gaeta.

ditions in course of organisation in different porta
of Sardinia, Count Stackelberg, with the whole of
the legation, would quit Piedmont.

•
badness going forward ix moderate, the trade
still waiting upon the weather. At Nottingham
the lace department shows signs of improvement.
From the Midland Districts engaged in the iron
trade the reports are more cheerful. There is no
briskness, but a very fair extent of general move-
ment, all the great works being in full operation,
notwithstanding the continued dulness of the de-
mand for many foreign markets. Trade at Bir-
mingham
and in its neighbourhood is described as
decidedly more active in nearly every department,
and labour is more fully employed.
There is no doubt that the long-continued un-
genial weather and the check which it has given
to the home spring and summer trade has occa-
sioned a good deal of difficulty in many of the
retail branches. A large number of shopkeepers
who had purchased goods in the expectation of
meeting with the amount of custom usual at the
season have been left with them on their hands,
and have been thrown behindhand with their pay-
ments. Through the necessity of indulgence thus
imposed upon the wholesale houses, the effect of
the check to trade works back to the manufac-
turer. The limited extent to which it has yet
trenched upon the employment of labour fur-
nishes another satisfactory evidence of the magni-
tude of the fund of reserved profits existing
amongst the trading classes.
