IMPERIAL P.ARLIAZENI

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening.
The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour.
GREECE.

The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on
Thursday next he would ask a question regarding the Crown
of Greece and the disposition of the lonian Islands.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented petitions
in favour of legalising marriage Ruth a deceased wife's
sister.
Earl DERBY presented a petition from Liverpool
against the sale of intoxicating liquor on Sundays. The
noble earl also presented a petition against any alteration
in the marriage laws.
THIRD READING.
The Londonderry Railway (Seaham to Sunderland) bill
was read a third time and passed.
MUTINY BILL.

This bill passed through committee.
POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL.
On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill
was read a third time and passed.
MARINE MUTINY BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL.
On the naming of the select committee to which this bill
is to be referred,
Lord ST. LEO NARDS called attention to several
clauses of the measure, and proceeded at some length to
show the manner in which the patronage of a num-
ber of livings had become vested in the Crown,
and said he was of opinion that it was
absolutely necessary that the assent of the Crown to the
proposed alteration should be made known before the bill
proceeded further, because no right which was vested in
the Crown could be taken away without consent. He
thought it advisable that not only the small livings of the
Crown should be dealt with, but that all small livings in the
patronage of the uiehops and all other bodies should be
included in the scheme.
The Earl of DERBY doubted very much whether the
bill would' operate as beneficially as was intended. He
had considerable objections to many parts of the bill, but
with respect to the principle of augmenting the income
arising from small benefices by the means proposed he
greatly approved of it.

the motion of Mr. A. Abercroinby, seconded by Mr. Peter
Drummond, a petition to the British Government to inter-
pose on behalf of Poland was agreed to, and carried by
acclamation. Thereafter a cordial vote of thanks was given
to the chairman and the meeting separated.

"Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Bart., was born in 1806,
and was the son of Sir Thomas Frankland Lewis. He was
educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, where be
was first class in classics and second in mathematics in 1828.
In 1831 he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple. He
was employed on the Commission of Inquiry into the relief of
the poor and into the state of the Church of Ireland, 1835,
and on the Commission of Inquiry into the affairs of Malta,
1836. On the resignation of his father in 1839, he was ap-
pointed a Poor-law Commissioner. He entered Parliament.
in 1847 as member for Herefordshire, and was Secretary to
the Board of Control from November, 1847, to May, 1848 ;
when he was appointed Under-Secretary for the Home De-
partment. In July, 1850, he became one of the Secretaries
to the Treasury, which office he held until the resignation
of Lord John Russell's Ministry in Feb. 1852. He was an
unsuccessful candidate for Herefordshire, at the general elec-
tion of 1852, and at i'eterborough soon afterwards; but
upon the death of his father, in Feb., 1855, he obtained the
seat which the late baronet had occupied in Parliament as
member for the Radnor burghs. He has published works on
The Romance Languages,' ' On the Use and Abuse of Eli-
deal Terms,' On Local Disturbances and the Irish Church
Question,' On the Government of Dependencies,' On the
Influence of Authority in Matters of Opinion,' and On
Methxls of Observation and Reasoning in Politics.' After
the death of Professor Empson he was appointed editor of
the Edinburgh Review, which he resigned when he joined
the administration of Lord Palmerston. Upon the memo-
rable resignation of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer
by Mr. Gladstone, in February, 1855, Sir G. C. Lewis was
appointed to that important office."
To this account we have to add that on the for-
mation of the present Government in May, 1859,
Sir George Lewis was appointed to the office of
Home Secretary, which office he exchanged in July,
1861, on the resignation of office by Lord Herbert,
for the office of War Minister, which he had till his
death.

the Czar makes in his manifesto to the institutions
already supposed t o be established in Poland is in it-
self almost sufficient, by the ie tniniscences it calla
up, to secure the refusal of the proffered amnesty.
Regarding the present positions of the Russian Go-
ve:nment and of the insurgents, there seems little
reason to expect that, on the strength of vague pro-
mises, the latter would now be content to lay down
their arms. The revolutionary Government has
been successful beyond its most sanguine hopes, and
it is now, when it has succeeded in securing the in-
tervention of three great Powers in behalf of Po-
land that it will abandon its menacing position.
Unless they are driven into much greater straits
than those in which they now are placed, the insur-
i gents will not accept the amnesty unless accom-
panied with a guarantee that they will not at some
future time be again driven to take up arms in de-
fence of their liberties. In one sense the publica-
tion of this manifesto may be accepted as an indica-
tion of a merciful policy, though the conviction en-
tertained at St. Petersburg that it would be re-
jected would preclude the Russian Government from
claiming credit for its leniency in the eyes of Eu-
rope. It is a little curious that the manifesto was
issued immediately after intelligence reached St.
Petersburg that England, France, and Austria had
despatched notes to the Russian Cabinet on the
subject of the Polish disturbances, but before those
notes could possibly have arrived. Their tenor,
however, was known in St. Petersburg on Satur-
day, and it may be tbat the Russian Government
has precipitated the publication of the manifesto in
order at the same time to avoid acting apparently
at the dictation of the three Powers, and to be able,
in reply to the notes addressed to it, to point to the
concessions which it has already made. However
this may be, it is to be hoped that the Czar will not
consider that, in publishing the manifesto to which
we have directed attention, he has done all that
his Polish subjects or the European Powers can
legitimately demand at his hands. He has himself
recognised the necessity of giving to the Polish na-
tion an autonomy, or system of self-government—
and all that is required of him is that such a system
may not only be granted, but hedged round with
such safeguards as may prevent the repetition of
such outrages as those which led to the present in-
surrection.

FRENCH THEATRICALS.

At the Grand Opera, the popular ballet of " Giselle" by
T. Gautier, is in active rehearsal for the debut of Mlle.
douraview, from the Theatre Imperial St. Petersburg,
which will take place early next week.
A veritable representation extraordinaire took place on
Wednesday at the Opera Comique for the benefit of the
family of the celebrated composer Rameim, of which the
following an istes appeared—Mmes. Grisi, Charton •Demeur,
Escudier-Kastner, Marimon, Plessy ; MM. Tamberlik,
Obin, Bonnehee, Malversi, Bressant, etc. It will be seen
that the Italian and French Operas, the Francis, and the
other theatres all pressed forward to aid this work of true
charity. The receipts, as might be foreseen, were very
considerable.

Miss Louisa Barnard's concert, which we announced for
the 28th ult. at No. 16, rue Cadet, turned out a decided
success. Mendelssohn's "Fileuse," Ravina's "Havaneras,"
a " Rondo Pastoral" of Pfeiffer, and a quatuor by Beethoven
elicited unequivocal applause. Miss Barnard was ably
seconded ny the eminent vocalists MM. Lafont and Cabal,
and Mdlle. Moreau.

It is stated that Mme. Viardot-Garcia proposes to retire
from the theat-e, and to settle at Baden. Previous to quit-
tit,g Paris the great artiste will be heard for the last time
at the Lyrique, at a soit ee devoted to the aid of the wounded
patriots in the present Polish struggle.
Miss Helen Faucit, the English tragedian, whose admi-
rable talent i yet remembered in Paris with pleasure, is,
we learn, at present in town on a visit to the family of one
of our most distinguished painters.
Miss Carlotta Patti is at present in London, and engaged
to sing at a series of concero given by Mr. Gye at Covent-
garden. Tier sister's reputation has awakened both curiosity
and interest to hear this young lady. In the meantime, the
Viennese public are kept at fever heat by the fascinations
of the syren Adelina, her sister.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Mr. GREGORY gave notice that on Monday next he
should ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether
his attention had been called to the reports of the
Poor Law Inspectors with respect to the destitu-
tion in Galway and the surrounding districts, and
whether he would lay these reports on the table of the
house.
CIVIL PROCESSES IN IRELAND.

Mr. GREGORY gave notice that he should on the same
day move for a return of the civil processes in Ireland in
1861.2-3 at Petty Sessions, distinguishing those for rent
and simple contract debts.
DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

Mr. FE RRAND gave notice that he should to• morrow
ask the First Lord of the Treasury to permit him to bring
on his motion with respect to the dit tress in the cotton dis-
tricts on Monday next. He named so early a day in conse-
quence of the general anxiety that prevailed on the subject.

cubical space per man ranges from 341 to 690 feet,
which last is the maximum. We give the measure-
ments. "In the Wellington Barracks, it is 500;
in St. George's, 520; in St. John's-wood, 341 ; in
the Tower, 483; in Regent's-park, 690 ;in Knights-
bridge, 458; about 380 in the Magazine Barracks,
Hyde-park; in Portman-street, 374." Even this
moderate space is said to be liable to considerable
reduction, according to the wants or distribution of
different regiments. The instruction to the medical
officers is to provide 600 cubic feet for each soldier,
and certainly under sanitary views it ought no
more to he subject to restriction than the rations.
The ventilation of the London barracks is very
defective, and though Dr. Arnot's ventilator is
attached to the flues of the chimneys in many of
the rooms it is broadly stated that "in no one
instance is there any satisfactory method in use for
supplying a sufficiency of pure air, and at the same
time preventing draughts." It is further com-
plained that the walls and ceilings are not cleaned
often enough for health, that there are no means
carrying away the effluvia from the burners of the
gas lights, and that noxious exhalations are permit-
ted to escape from the ash pits and diffuse them-
selves through the close atmosphere. In this de-
partment of the London barracks' no arrangements
are made to secure decent privacy, though this evil
his been avoided in the new barracks at Portsmouth
and Aldershot. It is recommended that " each large
barrack should be provided with two iron carts,
each capable of containing the daily refuse, one of
which should remain at the barrack as a receptacle
for the refuse, to be taken away and emptied every
morning, when it would be replaced by the empty
one " The lavatories are condemned, being placed
on the basement in cold and gloomy cellars, satu-

BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS ACT

AMENDMENT BILL.

On the motion for the consideration of the Loids' amend-
ments to this bill.

Mr. C. EWING expressed a hope that the case of the
milliners and dressmakers of the metropolis would also be
considered, and leg slation attempted for their protection.
The amendments were agreed to.
The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to introduce a
bill to remedy certain defects in the law relating to the re-
moval of prisoners in Scotland ; and
The house adjourned at halt-past one o'clock.

EXPENSE OF NEW STREETS.—The return just
presented to Parliament shows that the expense of
making New Oxford-Street (made between 1842 and 1847)
was .C33o,o74—Cranbourne-street (between 1841 and 1845),
£206,093—and Victoria• street, Westminster •between 1845
and 1851), £i15,000. The fist two streets were paid for
out of the London-bridge Approaches Fund, and rents and
sales of property purchased, and constructed under the
charge of the *Woods and Forests. Victoria-street was
constructed by the 'Westminster Improvement Commis-
sioners, subject to limited Control by the Woods and
Forests, and the expense was defrayed by coal duties and
improved rates, amounting to about £lOO,OOO, the balance
being raised on mortgages and bonds.
SHOCKING DEATH FROM LEAPING FROM A
WINDOW.—An inquiry was held by Dr. Lankester,
at the Elephant and Castle Tavern, King's•road, on 'Wed-
nesday, relative to the death of Edmund James Wall, who
was killed by jumping from a window under the following
circumstances :—Deceased, who had been ailing for some
time, lived at No, 9, Northern•buildings, Somers Town.
He had latterly made repeated attempts on his life. Two
or three evenings back his wife left him in the parlour with
a Mrs. Ward. He said he should go out into the street,
but as on the previous night he had made a determined
effort to cut his throat with a knife, Mrs. Ward placed her
back against the parlour door to prevent his egress. He
walked rapidly to the parlour window, which he threw up,
and before Mrs• Ward could prevent him he threw himself
out. He fell on his head with dreadful force, and was co-
vered with blood. Dr. Saul said that deceased died from
the injury to the head. Ho stated before he died, " That
as they would not let him out the door he leaped from the
window" He was apparently out of his mind, and did
not intend suicide, A verdict of accidental death was
returned,

Father Curci and Lord Palmerston,

Lord Palmerston's allusion in Parliament on the
15th May to Father Cnrci's sermon to the Neapo.
litan refugees, says a correspondent of the Morn-
ing Post, has aroused a storm of angry contradic-
tion here. The following protest from the Neapolitan
General Ulloa is the last that has appeared :
" The sermon which the journals assert to have been
preached by Father Curci to the Neapolitan emigrants in
their national church of the Holy Spirit is a miserable inven-
tion, and it is very strange that a statesman—an English
Minister—should have credited it in the accusations lately
made by him in the Parliament of his nation against my
august master, the legitimate Sovereign of the kingdom o
the Two Sicilies. Although after the contradiction given
in the Civilta Cattolica of the 6th inst., it appeared useless
to recur any more to the subject, as the Roman correspon-
dence of the Btampa of Turin has been reproduced in
the Giornale di Napoli for the purpose of confusing its
Neapolitan readers, I, who am signalised therein by certain
resentments which I had na need whatever to manifest on
the occasion, consider it my duty to protest solemnly and
publicly against such a malignant calumny.
"Albano, June 14." "General ANTONIO ULLOA.

Father Curci's sermon was well enough received
here, as may be inferred from the fact that on the
12th inst., when that learned Jesuit was about to
ascend the pulpit in the Church of San Teodoro, to
deliver a panegyric on the sacred heart of Jesus,
the Pope unexpectedly made his appearance in the
seating himself in the choir, listened
attentively to the sermon from beginning to end—
church, and,
end—
an honour rarely conferred by the Supreme Pon-
tiffs on any other preachers than the official ones
of the Sistine Chapel.

Mr. Bright, desirous to reconcile the interests of
both worlds, sarcastically writes a Saturday Reviewer, un-
deeakes to prove that tie triumph of his sect will be fertile,
not only in democratic supremacy, but in cotton. What-
ever may be the value of his speculations, the modest wearers
of crowns and coronets must demur to the inference that an
otherwise unnecessary ought to be promoted, even for the
benefit of Lancashire.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK VANE.

Fresh up to Mark Jane, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. Owing to the fineness of the
weather, and the favourable accounts respecting the state
of the crops, the demand was in a sluggish state both for
red and white qualities at barely Monday's advance in the
currency. There was an extensive show of samples of
foreign wheat on the stands. All descriptions met a slow
sale, yet no change took place in prices compared with
Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request
on farmer terms. The supply of barley was very moderate.
No alteration took place in its value, but the inquiry was
somewhat restricted. In malt a very moderate business
was transacted at late rates. The supply of oats was large.
Good and fine qualities fairly supported Monday's cur-
rency, but inferior parcels sold heavily at about previous
quotations. Beans and peas, the supplies of which were
small, ruled firm at quite previous currencies, Flour was
in fair average request on former terms.

THE WELLINGTON CAR.

Mr. C. BENT INCIi-asked the First Commissioner of
Works to explain the circumstances under which the Wel-
lington funeral car, wicker work horses, trappings, &c., are
exhibited to the public at sixpence a head, by the vergers
in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Mr. COWPER said he believed that the vergers were
allowed to take 6d. a head from persons going down into
the crypt. Whether the dean and chapter were right in
allowing that he could not say. Persons could not go into
the crypt without a verger, and there were no cathedral
funds out of which those officials could be paid,
Mr. OSBORNE said that if this was a work of great
genius it would be a rare opportunity for the Brompton
boilers.

The Queen of Prussia.

Her Majesty the Queen of Prussia honoured
his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador and the
Countess Bern storff with a visit at Prussia House,
Carlton-house-terrace, on Wednesday, when her
Majesty partook of luncheon. The following
persons were honoured with invitations to meet
her Majesty :—His Serene Highness Prince Edward
of Saxe Weimar and the Countess Dornberg, the
Duke of Hamilton, the Portuguese Minister, the
Marchioness of Ely, the Countess Dowager of
Westmoreland, the Countess Gifford, Viscountess
Jocelyn, Count Nicolas Pahlen, Lord De Tabley,
Col. Francis Seymour, C. 8., &c. Her Majesty was
attended by the Countess Schulenburg, the Countess
Louise Schwerin, and the Count Boos Waldek.

flagrant, the absolutely self-evident reason for all
which astounding discrepancies, can be alone ex-
pressed quite accurately and at the same time very
briefly, under the term, mal-administration. It may
be that the member for King's County is strictly
within the mark when arguing that, accord-
ing to the rate of expenditure observable
in 1843, the sum now voted for the
year ought to educate not (as it does)
merely 812,000 pupils, but fully as many as
2,000,000! It sounds like an exaggeration when
so put : but there—however astounding may be the
deduction drawn from them—there, undeniably, are
the glaring and grievous discrepancies from which
they are drawn. Discrepancies that are all the
more distressing, we might say, even distracting, for
a conscientious Irishman to bear in mind, when the
right hon. member for Limerick could point,
as he did last evening in committee, to the
anomalous fact, that whereas the grants for
other schools in Ireland, such for example, as
the female schools were increasing from £lO to
£42, or at the rate of more than 400 per cent., the
amount received there at the convent schools
actually remains precisely what it used to be.
Altogether the grant set apart for convent schools
in Ireland does really amount no doubt, as Sir
ROBERT PEEL observed in reply to this, to a sum of
from £7,000 to £B,ooo—but it is the rate, the scale
of its distribution that Mr. MONSELL referred to.
And that rate undeniably has long remained, and
still remains—stationary. IN hat said the right hon.
baronet upon this very subject, however, in con-
tinuation of those remarks of his last evening ?
Why, Sir ROBERT PEEL added, that he could bear
testimony to the admirable education given in these
convent schools. And he continued by announcing,
that the question of permitting pupil-teachers of
these schools to be teachers in other schools was, he
believed, about to be discussed by the National
Board. In addition to all which, he said that
if the Board should determine that the convent
schools should take pupil-teachers, they would,
of course, receive an increased allowance on that
account. These are among the advantages that we
maintain have accrued from the mere discussion of
the grievance, the undeniable grievance to which
the attention of the House of Commons in Committee
of Supply was called last evening by Mr. HEN-
NESSY—these welcome announcements of a change
for the better as being now in preparation, or at
the very least meditated, announcements which
were elicited in the course of his remarks from the
lips of the Irish Secretary.
