PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS', last night, further evidence was heard upon
the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill. A petition against
Church rates was presented. On the motion of the Duke of
Richmond, a Select Committee wt s appointed to enquire
whether there was any danger from fire to be apprehended in
the progress of steam engines on a railroad passing through
populous places. Upon the third reading of the London,
Birmingham, Bristol, and Thames Junction Railway Bill, the
Duke of Wellington carried a clause by 33 to 15 for securing
to Parliament the power of revision with respect to railroads.
The clause was accordingly added to this Bill, and the Bill
then passed. The South Eastern Railway Bill was passed,
and their Lordships then adjourned.
In the COMMONS, a great many petitions, embracing a great
variety of interesting subjects, were presented. Among them
from Birmingham, Manchester, and Salford, were petitions
against the Factories Regulation Act, and in favour of a ten
hours' Bill ; from a place in Surrey against Church-rates ;
from Kirkcudbright complaining of the want of lighthouses on
the Scotch side of the Solway Frith ; from places in Sussex
against certain provisions in the Poor Law Act. Several peti-
tions were also presented from Mayo for the abolition of tithes.
Mayo suffered from famine in 1832, " when they were relieved
by the subscriptions of the English people, and that at that
period the very rent-drivers of the landed proprietors, the
Marquis of Sligo and Sir R. O'Donnell, were supported by
the public charity." Notice of the Soap substitution scheme
was renewed by Sir C. Knightley, for Monday, when the
House goes into Committee on the Stamp Acts. The Regis-
tration of Voters Bill was re-committed, and after considerable
discussion, the clauses up to the 19th were agreed to. Mr.
13rotherton's desire to make the House adjourn punctually at
twelve o'clock, led to some lengthened discussion. The House
did not adjourn till nearly two o'clock.

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

CON STA NTINOPLE, MAT 25. —The differences between
Lord Ponsonby and the Porte is still the general subject of
conversation. Hitherto the Sultan has refused to give the sa-
tisfaction required—namely, the dismissal of several officers
(even, as is said, the Reis Effendi), and Lord Ponsonby is
thereby placed in a false position, so that he refuses to nego-
elate dirmly with the Porte, and carries on the intercourse,
which he still keeps up, through the French Ambassador.
This state of things cannot last long, either the Porte must
give way, or Lord Pord Ponsonby leave his post here , as he
has gone too far, easily to recede. The issue of this business
is looked for with apprehension.
TRIESTE, JUNE 4. —The political prisoners who are to be
sent to America, are still in our neighbourhood, and it is not
yet known when they will be embarked for the place of their
exile.

VIENNA, JUNE 7.—The French Princes amuse themselves
very well here, as all circumttances indicate. They have fre-
quently expressed themselves to this effect, but their uninter-
rupted cheerfulness makes such a declaration unnecessary. A
few days ago, the Duke of Orleans had a conference of an
hour and a half with Prince Metternich, in his Cabinet, by
which that great statesman is said to have been led to speak to
many eminent persons in high terms of the talents and exten-
sive knowledge of the Duke.
The arrival of the King of Naples is announced as likely to
take place on the 18th of this month.
Row., MAT 31.—1 t is affirmed that through the mediation
of an allied court, negotiations are likely to be opened with a
view to the recognition of the Government of Portugal. As
far as I am informed, the Papal Government will not be disin-
clined to enter on such a negotiation, if the first overture were
to come from Lisbon, and if it were duly considered that the
Papal See has recognised Don Miguel as King of Portugal ;
and therefore care must be taken to provide for him.

Rye, llf. 09c. per hectolitre, and the import duties 37f. 60c.
and 21f. 30c. for 1,000 kilogrammes.
BRUSSELS JUNE 15.—.1 letter from Ghent, the 13th inst.
says, " Yesterday and the day before, there were several
affrays between soldiers, and between soldiers and citizens 'of
our city. The arms, which, by a fatal abute, the soldiers are
allowed to wear when off duty, have again caused blood to
flow. Yesterday, between seven and half-past nine o'clock
in the evening, there was a sanguinary conflict between 100
soldiers of the sth Regiment of Chasseurs on foot, and of the
4th regiment of the line. _ _

A letter from Rome of the 30th May says, " It is gene-
rally affirmed at Rome that the Qldest of the two Princes of
Canino has left the Castle of St. Angelo, with a passport for
some foreign country, and that his brother has already em-
barked at Leghorn for America, to which country they were
to go, for after the action of which they are accused, their fa-
ther is not at all inclined to give them a good reception in Eng-
land. Cardinal Fesch, and the other members of the Empe-
ror's family here would not interfere in favour of these too
guilty relations."
