WALLACHIA.

The Swabian Mercury of the 23d has a letter
from the frontiers of Wallachia, dated the 12th
of July. It informs us that the measures
of the Russian Government had so terrified
theiProvisional Government that the members, after
a vain attempt to raise the peasantry, fled in all
directions. Bucharest was tranquil on the 10th,
and it was expected that the inhabitants of the
country districts would receive the Russians with
open arms.

In Wallachia the peasantry look upon them as
their liberators, their policy having always been to
protect the peasantry against the oppression of the
nobility. This explains the present state of things
in the provinces of the Danube.

Prince BIIIIESCO was informed of the arrival of the
Russians by special courier. The Russians have
pitched their camp before Jassy, because the cholera
rages within the city. One hundred thousand men
are to march from Folkshany to Bucharest, but they
eannoCarrive before the lath of August, so that any
serious resistance is out of the question.

ITALY.

NAPLES AND SICILY.

It was reported in Naples that the insurrection in
Calabria has been suppressed, and that the Sicilian
forces which had been sent to assist the insurgents had
been re-embarked.
The Lilert4 has the following from Naples of the
16th :—" The Liberal cause has sustained a check in
Calabria. The royal troops occupy Cosenza, Ca-
banaano, and the coast ; the Liberals are in posses-
sion of all the mountains and the interior from
Tiviolo downwards. Seven hundred Sicilians are
ready at Melazzo to land on the Calabrian coast, for
Sicily knows that the fall of Calabria would lead to
the invasion of the island. An army of 530,000 men
is therefore raised to take an active part in the
Calabrian war, and a million of ducats decreed
for the expenses of the war. In the Cilento the
Royal troops have been beaten ; the Cilentini are
marching to Calabria and against Basilicata. Lecce
is doing the same. On the other side of Molisse,
the Capitanta and Avellino are operating upon the
Abruzzi?'

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 25.

-
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Their Lordships re-assembled at Five o'clock.
ECCLESIASTICAL DISTRICTS BILL.
The Commons' amendment to this Bill were agreed to.
HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL presented the report of' the
Select Committee on this Bill, which was ordered to be
received.
SCOTCH REGISTRATION BILL.
On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill was
read a third time and passed.
SCOTCH MARRIAGES BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the third reading of the Bill
to amend the Scotch law of marriages.
The Earl of HADDINGTON objected to the measure
as being an alteration of the law of the Church of Scot-
and with regard to marriages. This Bill admitted mar-
riage to be contracted as a civil contract ; if it were a
civil contract, why should parties be compelled
to go before a clergyman, and again to enter
into that contract in a more solemn manner ?
His impression was, that this Bill would
be to make marriage, instead of a religious contract, a
mere civil contract, and therefore he was opposed to the
measure, and moved that it be read a third time that day
six months.

Lord BROUGHAM considered that this Bill would
be a great improvement in the marriage law of Scotland.
The present law required no religious ceremonial. It
was taken from Constantinople, and enabled any boy of
14 and girl of 12 years of age to contract a marriage,
before any peasant or any chambermaid at an
inn, and that was as valid a marriage as any
marriage celebrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
If this Bill were passed, the scandal of Scotch mar-
riages, as evasions of the English Marriage Act, would
cease. He hoped they would place the marriage law of
the two countries on a better footing.
The Duke of ARGYLL supported the Bill, because
he believed they could not proceed upon a safer prin-
ciple than the one which it introduced. There
ought to be some statutable recognition of the irregular
marriages that take place in Scotland. Ho should sup-
port the third reading of the Bill for the reasons he had
stated.

Lord CAMPBELL said the measure had engaged the
attention of the Government for some years, and he
considered that no better opportunity presented
itself for its passing than the present. No
marriage was valid now in Scotland unless
it took place before a clergyman or a registrar. The ob-
jections which the Assembly bad made were, in his
opinion, not tenable. Believing this Bill would be ac-
ceptable to the people of Scotland, ho cordially asked
their Lordships to pass the Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM contended that at the present
moment persons in Scotland saying, before a chamber-
maid or a pot-boy, that they took each other for man and
wife constituted a valid marriage, showing how ab-
solutely necessary was the alteration proposed.
After a few words from the Earl of HADDEstoToN the
Bill was read a third time and passed.

'ERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
THE DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.
Mr. HUME wished to call the attention of the House
to the petition of Patrick Purcell, complaining that he
had been unable to obtain his expenses for attending
before the Dublin Committee. It appeared that persons
summoned by the Speaker to give evidence before Com-
mittees could not demand their expenses, like persons
summoned to attend courts of justice. A similar case
had never occurred before, during the whole time be
had occupied a seat in that House, and he trusted that
his Honourable Friend (Mr. Bernal), who had paid
Much attention to the private business of the House,
Would amend the rules of the House in this respect.
On the same occasion other alterations for the better
Might be made.
SIGNING PETITIONS.
Mr. THORNELY stated, in reply to Mr. Hume, that
it Was against the rules of the House for parties to sign
petitions for others. Hon. Members should make this
fact known to their constituents, and that where parties
could not write, they must append their marks.
THE WALSALL IMPROVEMENT BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

The Lords' Amendments to the following Bills were
considered and agreed to:—
Great Northern Railway (Isle of' Axholme Extension).
Monkland and ICirkintilloch, Ballochney and Slatnannan
Railways (Amalgamation, or Sale or Lease, and
Amendment or Repeal of Acts).
Newry and Enniskillen Railway (Amendment of Acts,
and to authorise Arrangements with other Companies).
INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

Mr. PARKER obtained leave to bring in a Bill to au-
thorise the application of part of the unclaimed money in
the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors in en-
larging the Court-house of the said court.
THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
Mr. G. THOMPSON presented a petition from a per-
-son named John Smith, at Bristol, stating that he had
-had a suit in the Court of Chancery for nine ) ears, and
.that he had been nearly brought to ruin by the delay
and expensive procedure of that court.
SECRET SERVICE MONEY.
Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice that, in Commttee of
Ways and Means, he should move that it is expedient
that some clear and distinct statement be furnished of
the expenditure of the 36,0001. yearly voted as Secret
Service Money, and if there is any surplus, how it was
appropriated.

A letter from Mantua says that 4,000 Austrians
recently entered that city, and that RADETZKY was
himself expected there with a reinforcement of 800 or
900 men. The Italia del Popolo adds, that CHARLES

IEVENING. JULY 26, 1848.

After a few words from Sir GEORGE GREY and Mr.
SPOONER,

Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place, the amendment being withdrawn after a
short discussion as to including coffee-shops and con-
fectioners in the Bill.

Mr. C. BERKELEY was entirely opposed to such
places of refreshment being interfered with, and moved
that the Chairman at once report progress, and ask leave
to sit again.

Mr. IiUME said he had no objection to prevent the
sale of spirits at certain hours on Sundays—he wished
there was not a drop of spirits in the whole country at
all—but he did object to the House preventing -th,-
sale of coffee and tea before five o'clock on
Sunday morning.—(Hear, hear.) On going home from
that House early in the morning he had frequently seen
cab-men and others making use of these coffee shops in-
stead of public. houses. Rather than interfere in that way
they had better bring in a Bill that nobody should eat on
Sundays, and that no one should have anything but
bread and water on fast :days.—(Laughter.) He hoped
the House would:pause before it gave its ;consent to the
measure.

After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, the clause and
;he amendment were withdrawn.

The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the
House having resumed, the Chairman reported accord•
ingly. The report was ordered to be brought up this
day week.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Six o'clock.

—The case and opposition being closed the room was
cleared, and the Committee after a short consultation
decided that the preamble was proved. subject to running
clauses in favour of the Barrhead and Neilston Direct
Railway, upon terms to be settled by the Board of

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE JUNCTION (Abandonment of

told the Committee that if they threw out the Bill, the
funds the company had in hand would be
frittered away, the demands of the creditors
would go unliquidated, and eventually the concern
would have to pass through the Bankruptcy Court.
Nevertheless, the Committee decided that the preamble
was not proved.

ROME.

The accounts from Rome are still unfavourable to

the one recognised and applauded by the Chamber
and the people, that of MAMIAMI and his Ministry ;

the retrograde or ultramontane faction, fomented by
the intrigues of the Jesuits. "It is to be hoped,"
adds the Cionteneporaneo, "that the Mamiami Minis
try will triumph over the intrigues which beset its
path, for it is the only Government that can save the
country from a perilous crisis."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

Since Monday, a very limited quantity of English
Wheat has been received up to our market coastwise as
well as by land carriage. As a good clearance of the
stands was effected on that day, the show of samples this
morning was small, owing to which, the prevailing damp
weather, and the unfavourable reports which continue to
reach us respecting the potato crop, the demand for all
kinds of Wheat of home produce was somewhat active,
at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of
from Is to 2s per quarter. Only 1,210 quarters of
Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week. Selected
parcels were held at 2s per quarter more money; while
the middling and
.inferior kinds ruled is per quarter
higher, with a very steady demand, chiefly for in-
land consumption. Bonded parcels were the turn
higher. Superfine Barley moved off steadily at
an improvement in value of is per quarter.
All other kinds were quite as dear. There was a
better feeling in the Malt trade, but without alter-
ation in value. Oats were in better request, and really
good Corn was slightly on the advance. Beans and
Peas sold on former terms. Indian Corn and Meal were
dearer to purchase, while Flour was very firm.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

- - - - -
HAMBURGII, Juror 15.—Yesterday afternoon Ge-
neral WRANGEL and Count PORTAL'S, attended by
his whole staff, rode from Hadersleben to Kuld. ng,
about a league from thence, for the purpose of having
an interview with the Danish General-in-Chief, and
of concerting measures for the armistice. In Ha-
dersleben itself great expectations are entertained
that this conclusion will be satisfactorily arrived at.
The Prussian troops in that town were commanded to
be in marching order at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Swedes have been aceus edby the Danes of not
taking a sufficiently lively interest in the war between
Denmark and Germany. In reply to these insinua-
tions, the Afalmor Snell Post, in a half official article,
calls the attention of the Danes to the declaration
made by
the Swedish Government, which expressly

declares that the Government will not in anywise
interfere in a warlike manner in the Schleswig-Hol •

stein question.
It would be very unwise to deviate from this
principle, at a time when negotiations for peace are
in progress. It is the object of Sweden to secure the
most favourable conditions to Denmark by its inter-
vention, but not to back Denmark in its plans of re-
criminations upon Germany.
ALTONA, JULY 15.—We are confidently informed
that the conditions of the armistice demanded by the
Germans are the evacuation of Alsen by the Danes,
and the unaltered subsistence of the Provisional
Government. A great number of the convalescent
have gone to the north.
HANOVER, JULY 13.—The Hanoverian Government
has sent the Minister of War, FROTH, and the Go-
vernment Councillor, HOPPERSTEDT, to the Archduke
JoHri, to salute him as Regent of the Empire. The
deputation was proceeding to Vienna, but was induced
at Berlin to change their route, and to follow the
REGENT to Frankfort, which it probably reached
yesterday, and discharged its commission. If we
are rightly informed, the return of these gentlemen
is not immediately expected, for, independently of
the congratulations which they are to deliver, and
which are not altogether without import, from our
Government, the commission is charged with
other business, the settlement of which will
probably require negotiations before a satisfac-
tory result can be obtained. The object of these ne-
gotiations may be inferred from the political views of
these deputies. These negotiations have respect to
the operations of the army and the regulation of the
customs.

-- -
THE HAGUE, JULY 18.—In one of the last sittings
of the Second Chamber of the States• General, the
special Committee appointed for this object made its
report on the state of superior, ordinary, and elemen-
tary instructions in the kingdom of the Netherlands
in 1845 and 1846. The report observes that the
State examinations prevent foreigners from frequent-
ing the Netherlands universities. That this exami-
nation, which precedes admission into the University,
might be dispensed with, since it is not followed by
other equally rigorous examinations during the aca-
demic course, and on quitting the University.
The Committee highly disapproves the promotion
en thesis in the faculty of the law. The Committee
has not yet been able to arrive at a conclusion rela-
tive to a union of the three universities of the State
into one. With respect to elementary instruction,
the Committee declares that the documents furnished
by the state are quite insufficient. It points out the
bad state of schools in various districts, without, how-
ever, pointing out the remedy.

SAXONY.

In the Second Chamber, during the sitting of the
14th, M. TSSCHEIND asked whether the Government
was disposed to submit to the decisions of the Frank-
fort Parliament, or not to consider them as valid until
they had received the assent of the Saxon Govern-
ment. The unity of Germany would exist only on
paper, if the resolutions of its Constituent Assembly
required the sanction of thirty-eight different Go-
vernments. The Minister, M. DE PFORDTEN, replied
that the Cabinet would shortly bring in a Bill on
the subject of their position with respect to the
Frankfort Assembly, when a full opportunity would
be afforded of examining the question.

TO VIM LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7,1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the ilerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the h al r on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole other hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to, the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lie. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume fa far
beyond any to her,taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and
Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The must delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the Wet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
en the erown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

ting off the excess o

le expenßes an

le mu

plicity of offices, by reducing the pensions, by a
better distribution of taxation, by the available pro-
duction of the national property, and by taking off
restrictions in commerce, we do not despair," say
they, "of being enabled to surmount our
present difficulties." Verily, for an infant
Parliament this essay of statesmanship is
well enough ! There are other places besides
Rome where the suggestions of this para-
graph might be studied with advantage. It is
unnecessary for us to particularise every individual
sentence of this address. Here is one paragiaph,
however, which, in justice to the noble ambition of
the Italians, we cannot refrain from quoting. ," If
the difficulty of the undertaking can be surpassed by
the desire, we are heartily disposed to lend you. our
support in every social improvement; we will make
it our study to eradicate the !roots of guilt and misery.
What .would it avail us to have new laws, were
stupid or wicked executors still to administer
them ? What would prisons avail if, instead of cor-
recting the guilty, the reciprocal tuition in all kinds of
vice were still suffered in them? Our principal atten-
tion is directed to that portion of the people whose
labour supports our life; we will procure them help;
we will remove obstacles from the industrious work-
man and the honest farmer, so that their bread may
be gained by the sweat of their brow, but no longer
moistened by their tears." Sentiments such as these
require no comment, they pronounce themselves their
most forcible commendation. Said we not right that
, if the new Roman Parliament fulfil all its fair pro-
mises it will not have occasion to shrink from a com-
parison with its predecessors ?
