REFORMATORY SCHOOLS.

Sir G. GREY, in rising to move for leave to bring in a
bill to facilitate the establishment of reformatory echonla,
end that ho would detain the house but a few moments. The
house wax aware that the reformatory schools recently
established were dependent amen entirely upon voluntary
coetributions. The only exception was, that for every child
pent the treasury hod to pay a certain snot, end in certain
taxes payments were directed to be made by the parents. The
bill which he desired to introduce did not in any way seek to
interfere with voluntary institutions. Those institutions,
though they were increasing in number, were yet, com-
paratively speaking, but few. It was, therefore, thought
desirable to introduce the present bill, which was
permissive in its scope, and enabled counties and boroughs
to establish reformatory schools, end to defray the expense of
so doing out of the borough end county rates. There were
provisions enabling severe] counties or boroughs to join
together for the purpose of forming larger establishments
than they could do if separate. With respect to the intro-
duction of children, one difference existed between those pro-
posed schools and the establishments already in existence.
In these latter the managers had a right of rejecting any
child if they thought fit. Of course in the reformatories to be
erected under this bill no such right would exist, for the simple
mama that they could not be voluntary charities, but on the
contrary supported out of tberates. The bill contained provisions
similar to the sections of the existing act, for casting the ex-
penes of maintaining children, or a part of it, upon the
parents, so well as some union provision, into which it was
not neeecaary to enter at that etoge, the observations which
he had already made pointing at the main features of the
measure.

SPAIN.

The Progressist Electoral Committee bad resolved
to present an address to the government, praying it
to revoke the authorisation granted to governors of
provinces to expel from their provinces persons who
may appear dangerous to public order. That autho-
risation, according to the committee, is a direct viola-
tion of the liberty of the electors.
The trial of M. Escosura, ex-Minister of the In-
terior, for publishing articles offensive to the Queen
in the Prestc of Paris, was about to take place. It
was said that the public prosecutor intended to de-
mand that he should be condemned to several years'
imprisonment, to civil interdiction, to the less of
honours, to the deprivation of political rights, and
to a heavy fine.
The Madrid papers have the following :
One of the principal bankers of this city, having °tendon
to make large exportations of quadruples, employed, In order
to avoid the payment of 5 per tent. which would have been
levied on them by the government if sent by the mails,
carriers of his 'ma to convey them to the frontier. One of
these couriers a few days ego, on arriving at Burgos, found
that he had been rubbed of a bag containing 1,000 quadruples
(83,000 fr.), and he immediately returned to Madrid to relate
his loss. The banker, not satisfied with his explanations,
gave him into custody on the charge of having stolen the
money himself. The department of finance, baring been
informed of the affair, has ordered a prosecution to be insti-
tuted spinet the banker for defrauding the treasury.

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, in the Paris Union, says :
o The would-be assassin of the Archbishop of Me-
ters, Angona, resided at Mater', where he occupied
a good position. It appears that the perusal of cer-
tain works not tolerated by the Roman catholic
church had inspired in his mind ideas of the neces-
sity of reforming the church, and destroying what
he called the tyranny of the bishops. Some time
ago he was reprimanded for manifesting these opi-
nions, and sent away from Meters but he returned
to that town a short time ago, and was living in a
tranquil manner, when the news of the crime of
Verger reached his can, and inspired him with the
are of imitating that wretched criminal. Quan-
tities of works attacking the church, and even the
awns' of catholicism, were found in his mi-
asma."

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, re-
ceived to-day, announces that the Moldavian
elections havo been formally declared void; that
the electoral lists will be revised ; and that the
new elections will take place in a fortnight. This
news completely disposes of the assertions of several
German journals that any further elections in the
Principalities would be dispensed with, and that the
Paris Congress would meet in the first fortnight of
September, to settle the question of the union by
virtue of its inherent sovereign power.

I TEE NEUFCIifiXEL CONFERENCES. -
The Misr, the enni-oificia Journal of Berlin,
has the InDowhig :
" We tears that the French imperial cabinet has,
through its agents at Berlin, London, St. Peters-
burg, and Vienna, issued invitations to a Conference
fig the definite settlement of the question of Neuf-
chatel—the other cabinets having admitted that,
although the protocol of Bth May, 1852, was signed
at London, the city of Paris, on account of its geo-
graphical position, and the negotiations held there
during the late phases of the question, ought to be
considered as the fittest place for the meeting. The
Powers interested are invited to send their represen-
tatives to Paris as soon as possible with the feces-
eery instructions."

Conkwences Prussia will bring forward a proposi-
tion for the settlement of the dispute.

DISTURBANCES AT TUNIS.

The following telegraphic despatch, published in
the Paris journals, reports another serious distur-
bance at Tunis:

"TUNIS, Ate. IL
" A den ise, having in the public streets denounced
an Israelite as a blasphemer, the populace fell upon
the unfortunate Jew, who was, however, rescued
from their hands, and taken for safety to the Bourse.
But the populace broke into the building end
knocked to pieces tray thing they could lay their
hands upon. They then went to the offices of the
Messageries, crying, Death to the Jews,' Death
to the Franks.' The French Consul went in all
haste to the Bey at Mans, and demanded troops
for the protection of European life and property.
The greatest excitement prevails in the town."
Another despatch says:

" The Chrisilans themselves had been threatened.
Several persons were killed. The British Consulate
was insulted. Military MCOMPTII for repressing the
outrage were taken very tardily."

RUSSIAN INTERVENTION LN CHINA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of Aug. 10, says
" For some time peat it has been rumoured that the
Russian government did not intend to remain an
idle spectator of the events in China, but to take an
active part in them when opportunity should offer.
To give greater weight to the Russian representative
it is proposed to send a flotilla to the Chinese waters.
Count Poutjaline, who did such good service at the
time of the expedition to Japan, has been selected to
represent Russia, but only for the purposes of the
present difference. This diplomatist will embark
for China almost immediately, the flotilla, which is
orgsidsing at CronMadt, being nearly ready to sail."

THE OSBORNE CO

The Austrian Gazette, in a leading article, states
that the consent of Austria was given to the arrange-
ments concluded in the conference held at Osborne;
and that England, Austria, and Turkey, in consent-
ing to the

of the Moldavian elec-
.
boon, made to France a concession of mere form. It
adds that the new elections will have the same result

as the first—that is, that the majority of the electors
will pronounce against the union. A letter from
Vienna in the Ilamburg News confirms the above ;
it says In order to put an end to the crisis at
Constantinople, Lord Palmerston obtained by tele-
graph the consent of the Austrian government to the
revocation of the Moldavian elections, and then pro-
mised the EMperor of the French to endeavour, in
concert with the cabinet of Vienna, to obtain the
adhesion of the Porte to that course of proceeding."

A FOREIGN LEGION FOR INDIA.

A letter from Hamburg of August 13, in the
Gazette de la Bourse, says:—" it seems that Bog-
land is about to enlist a foreign legion for the East
Indies, and that, as was the case during the Russian
war, the Isle of Heligoland w ill be used as a recruiting
station. We are assured that agents of the English
government have already had several interviews on
the subject with Schleswig-Holstein officers living
here. Many offers of recruits have been made to
the British consul here, but his invariable answer
has been that he has no instructions from his. go-
vernment, and ho has referred the applicants to the
special agents who appear to be charged with the
conduct of the negotiations."

CHINA.

The Paris Pays says :—" We have private intel-
ligence from Hong Kong to Sept. 8. The Viceroy
Yeti was expected at Canton about the 16th, on his
return from Pekin. The Emperor had conferred
upon him the title of hen-try-pauk, which means
lieutenant of his person. This is a rank which is
never given except to princes of the imperial family
when on a minion. It is said that Yeh has positive
orders to summon the Engliah:to evacuate Canton,
and is authorised, in default of compliance, to make
an official declaration of war against England. It
results from this correspondence that the affairs of
China are far from being in the way of a pacific
solution. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros were expected
at Hong Kong about the 20th or 25th of September,
and no course of action could be decided upon till
after their arrival,"
