ROYAL COMMISSION.

The SPEAKER was summoned by the Usher of the Black
Rod to the House of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given
to several bills.

THE EAST INDIES.

Lord STANLEY moved for a copy of the report upan
the income and expenditure of British Burmah, by R.
Temple, Esq., and Lieut. Col. H. Bruce, 1860 ; also for
copy or extracts of all correspondence relating to pro-
jected railways in the colony of Natal, which has passed
between the Lieutenant Governor of Natal and the Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies during the years 1863-64-65 ;
and also for copies of correspondence between tho Go-
vernment of Madras and the agent of the Madras Irrigation
Company, regarding the execution of works in progress
under that company, and the system to be adopted in bring-
ing the works into operation and levying the charge for
water from the cultivators.—Ordered.

CANADA.
Mr. CARDWELL laid on the table the papers connected
with the position of affairs in Canada. It would bo recol-
lected that four members of the Legislature of Canada
had been deputed by the Governor-General of Canada
to confer with her Majesty's Government. The Conference
had taken place, and the Confederation of the North American
Provinces, the I'm tification of Canada, the Reciprocity
Treaty, and the North Western Boundary had been consi-
dered. The result of the deliberations had been satisfactory,
and the whole of the papers he hoped would be in the
hands of members to-morrow.

EDUCATION.
Mr. lIODGKINSON asked the Vice-President of the
Committee of Council on Education what progress
had been made in collecting and arranging the
information required for the return ordered in the last ses-
sion of Parliament with reference to endowed grammar
schools ; and when the return might be expected to be
laid on the table of the house ?
Mr. BRUCE said 700 schools had sent in the information,
and he hoped the return would be in the hands of mem-
bers before the end of the session.
DR. SUTFIERLAND'S APPOINTMENT.
Sir S. NORTRCOTE asked the Under Secretary of
State for War in what capacity Dr. Sutherland was em-
ployed by the War Department ; what pay and allowances
he received ; whether he was paid by salary or by day
when actually employed, and if by day pay for how many
days in the year he was employed on an average ; from
what vote of the estimates the payment was made; whether
the arrangement had received the approval of the Treasury;
and, whether there would be any objection to lay upon
the table of the house a copy of the terms of his original
appointment, and of any correspondenw between the War
Office and the treasury on the subject.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said Dr. Sutherland

THE BIRTH OF A PRINCE.

Lord SYDNEY brought up her Majesty's reply to the
address from their lordship; on the recent birth of a
prince, expressing her gratitude for their loyalty and
attachment to herself and the members cf her family.

CUBAN SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM drew the attention of their lordships
again to this subject, and urged on the Government the
necessity of increased exertion to suppress the slave trade
that was still carried on to a fearful extent.

Earl RUSSELL, who was very indistinctly heard, was un-
derstood to say the papers on this subject had to bo corrected,
but in a few days would be laid on the table of both Houses
of Parliament. Tho French and English officers stationed
at Cuba did all in their power to put down the slave trade,
and the Government of the United States co-operated with
them zealously.
RAILWAY PASSENGERS BILL.

Lord St. LEONARDS moved the second reading of this

the safety of the public.

"LES HUGUENOTS."

A crowded house, from the front orchestra stalls
to the hindermost seat of the amphitheatre, testified
on Saturday evening to the attractive bill of fare
put forth by Mr. Mapleson. This was what is called
a "special" performance of Meyerbeer's capo d' opera,
" Gli Ugonotti," in its Italian dress. Mdlle. Ilma
de Murska, who has already won "golden opinions,"
sang, for the first time, the florid music of Mar--
garita di Valois ; a new basso, Herr Rokitanski,
made his debut as .11.Iarcello ; a new tenor,
M. Joulain, impersonated Raul di Nangis ;
and the Counts St. kris and Nevers were
entrusted to Signor Foli (a first appear-
ance) and Mr. Santley. The heroine was once
more—and where is there such a Valentina ?
the gifted Tietjens; while the charming Trebelli,
almost the only Italian in this Gallo-Ebraic opera,
was once more the page Urbano. The performance
was in every respect a treat to the auditors. The
prominent novelty was Mdlle de Murska's Mar-
guerite de Valois, in which she not only delighted
the spectators by her beauty and grace, but enrap-
tured them by her charming vocalisation of the
florid music allotted to her in her one coquettish
scene with Raul.

M. Joulain sang his portion of the fine trio pre-
facing the interrupted duel with most pure and
dramatic effect. His great scene with Valentina
during the massacre, and his finale, were well and
carefully sung.

Herr Rokitanski has a fine bass voice and dra-
matic feeling. His denunciations and chaunts were
impressive, and the rough Huguenot soldier lost
nothing of power in his hands. The " piff-pall'
and duet with Tietjens told excellently, and were
applauded.
London, England, 1865-06-19

in round numbers, about 145 ft. per mile. A good
gradient on a railway is now generally considered to
be 1 in 100 ft., or about 53 in a mile, so that the in-
cline on this supposed bank is only about three
times that of the ordinary railway. In fact, as far
as soundings can demonstrate anything, there are few
slopes in the bed of the Atlantic as steep as that of
Holborn-hill. In no part is the bottom rocky, and
with the exception of a few miles, which are shingly,
only ooze, mud or sand is to be found.
As regards the commercial prospects of the un-
dertaking, it may be stated that the Atlantic Com-
pany have begun their work under the renewed
agreement with the Government for a subsidy of
£20,000 a-year, and, in addition, a guarantee of 8
per cent. upon a capital of £600,000. All systems
of Government guarantee of this kind are in them-
selves radically bad, and opposed to every rule of
free trade and commercial enterprise. In this case,
however, the guarantee is not only at variance with
the principles of political economy, but possesses its
own special attributes of absurdity. Thus, in return
for their guarantee, which is only to continue in
force while the line is in working order, the Govern-
ment demand that the maximum charge for mes-
sages shall not exceed 2s. 6d. per word. With such
a tariff the line would be absolutely choked with
messages, and the company, in return for its over-
work and general maladministration of business,
would only receive a revenue of £250,000 a-year.
At a tariff of V. per word, on the contrary, the
company, while guaranteeing a message to, and the
receipt of a reply from any part • of the United
States within 24 hours, could with ease earn a re-
venue of £1,000,000 a year, or nearly twice the cost
of the present cable. In fact, the Government gua-
rantee is only conditional on the line being in work-
ing order, and while it is so working the company
can, for the reasons, we have stated, do ten times
better without it. If the shareholders are wise, the
sooner they shake off this clog upon their enterprise
the better. At present it is estimated that the opera-
tion of telegraphing can be safely conducted day
and night at the rate of from six to eight words a
minute. Both Professor Thompson and Mr. Varley,
however, are confident that with the new machines
they have invented this rate may be increased to
nearly 12 words a minute. On this expectation,
however, we decline to venture an opinion. The
despatch of a message of 100 words through the line
to America, and the clear receipt of a similar num-
ber in reply, will, after the cable has been laid, be
accepted by the company as a proof that the wire is
in perfect working order, and without further for.
mality it will at once be opened to the use of the
public. Most earnestly do we hope that this greatest
scientific undertaking may be followed by the com-
mercial and political success which the completion of
telegraphic communication with the United States
must achieve.

The Reader.
A CHARMING ANECDOTE is thus charmingly related
in the atheneum of Saturday :—ln a pretty country
studio, seven miles from Fontainebleau, a gentlewoman
was at work on a sultry day last week ; dressed as French
ladies, who happen to be artists, usually dress, in a blouse
and petticoat. The gentlewoman was Mdlle. Rosa Bonheur,
and she was painting cattle and grazing ground. Suddenly
the door of her studio was opened, and without announce-
ment of any kind a bright and charming woman entered
the room, threw her arms round Mdlle. Rosa's neck, clasped
a ribbon round it, from which depended a little cross well
known in France. The charming visitor was the Empress
Eug6nie. Mdlle. Bonheur had never heard a word of this
visit or of this decoration being intended for her ; and she
sat down on a low stool and enjoyed a good cry, while the
Empress chatted with her about her palettes, her pencils,
and the delightful trifles of her art. Cartes, the Empress
EgCnie knows how to enhance a graceful act by the added
grace of doing it well.

was at the period of the Crimean war appointed by the
Hon. Sydney Herbert a member of the sanitary commission
to inquire into the condition of the army, and since that
war had ceased the learned gentleman had been serving
on the sanitary committee on the subject of hospitals and
barracks. He received three guineas a day in remunera-
tion, and the vote under which his salary was taken was
the sanitary vote in the arrangements.
Mr. P. HERBERT asked whether there was no officer
in the army qualified to perform Dr. Sutherland's duty,
and whether he IV&S eligible for superannuation ?

The Marquis of H.A.itTINGTO said he-could not say
whether there was or not an officer in the army so qualified.
Dr. Sutherland was not, he believed, eligible for superan-
nuation.
London, England, 1865-06-19

LATEST PARTICULARS.

By the assistance of Mr. Bevan and other officials
connected with the company some reliable informa-
tion as to the workings and management of the col-
liery and as to the probable cause of the explosion has
been obtained. There are two pits within a few yards
of each other, the colliery where the explosion occurred
being called the New Bedwellty pit. The three-
quarter and big vein are worked in this colliery, and
the workings are all to the west. On Friday morning
the fireman, named John Jehu, went down as usual
to examine the working places, and discovered
gas in a cross heading in the back workings,
where a man named Jones and his son worked.
The accumulation of gas was by no means large,
but the fireman thought it advisable to put the
danger signal up. The colliery is worked entirely
by naked lights, but if gas were discovered in any
place safety lamps were then provided for the men
in the immediate neighbourhood. This rule was
adopted in the present instance, and David Jones
and his son were provided with lamps, and they
went down with lamps on the morning of the explo-
sion. It was their duty to test the gas first, and if
in the least increased it was their duty to leave the
place at once and report to the fireman or overman.
These were their instructions under ordinary cir-
cumstances, but when a danger signal was up, as
on the morning of the explosion, they ought not to
have commenced working until the gas had been
cleared, under the direction of either the fireman or
overman. It is feared that this important regula-
tion was not attended to, and that the gas, getting
too strong, fire was communicated from:the lamp,
and the explosion followed. How Jones and his son
(both are dead) were allowed to go down at all is a
question which will no doubt be thoroughly investi-
gated by the coroner and the jury. Forty-six were
employed in the back workings, and out of this
number 20 escaped, some being slightly burnt.
Fortunately, the system of " splitting" the air was
adopted, by which every section of the colliery had
a free course of fresh air. Had it been otherwise,
it is very probable that the explosion would have
extended throughout the whole of the workings,
where some 200 more hands were employed. The
separate current of air going to the back workings
was computed to be 18,000 or 20,000 cubic feet per
minute, the ventilation being by furnace.
