NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the 26th June, says :
" Great anxiety is expressed here to ascertain the
nature of the instructions of which Baron Brenier,
the French Minister, is the bearer, but the Baron
since his arrival had not shown any disios.tion
to gratify the public curiosity ; on the contras y,
he has maintained the stricttst reserve. The
French Minister has had his second reception yester-
day, and nobody doubts that he has given his
Majesty most excellent advice. M. de Salmour, the
Sardinian Plenipotentiary, is about, it is said, to
quit Naples, not very well satisfied with the
result of his mission. He was received with all
ordinary diplomatic forms, bat the 'Government
took care to avoid all conversation on political mat-
ters. His object was to obtain from the Neapo-
litan Government a military demonstration in the
direction of the Adige, and he gave the King to
understand that by so doing he would secure for
himself at the conclusion of the war the posses-
sion of certain provinces which would give him a
considerable extent of territory on the coast
of the Adriatic. The Pope should be in indemnified
by other possessions. The King is said to be well
disposed to grant the reforms demanded, but he is
not sufficiently firm, and it is feared that the
uncertainty which prevails may produce serious
embarrassment. Gen. Ischitella has been definitively
named Major-General of the Army, which is regarded
as a good omen. The Duke de Dovina,, ene of the
wealthiest proprietors in the country, and son-in-
law of Prince Satriano, has been appointed to present
the compliments of the Kiug of Naples to the King
of Sardinia. There has been a popular demonstra-
tion made at Messina to the French Admiral on his
passage to Venice."

in the first-named port.
Her Majesty's ship Nile, Captain Wilmot, is
expected in the Mersey, an unexpected order hav-
ing been received for her departur3 from the Clyde

Orpheus, 21, now being built at Chatham dock-
yard, and placed on boazd the Rodney, 91, and

LIVERPOOL-JULY 1.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday
have been insignificant. From foreign ports we have received
12,106 quarters of wheat, 489 quarters beans, 680 quarters
Indian corn, and 6,190 sacks flour. The exports, in the
same time, comprise 237 quarters of wheat, 200 qrs barley,
280 qrs malt, 311 qrs Indian corn, 138 loads oatmeal, and
1,285 sacks flour. This morning we had only d small
attendance at our corn exchange. The business passing
was limited for wheat and flour, although they could have
been bought at a decline of 2d per cental and is per sack on
Tuesday's rates. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, without '
alteration in value. Barley, beans, and peas at previous
rates. Indian corn met with a good demand for feeding,
and inferior samples met a ready sale.

Within the last three weeks another issue of
Canada Government bonds has been placed in the market
to the extent of £300,000 or £350,000. These bonds are
redeemable in 25 years ; the discount allowed on the instal-
ments brings the issue price down to 109 per cent. ; and
the present price is 1101 to I. The first dividend will be
payable on the Ist January next. Considered in relation
to her revenue, the debt of Canada is already very. large,
and the willingness of the Government to add to it is not
likely to be diminished as long as fresh issues can be thus
speedily and secretly arranged.
The exact amount of specie engaged for trans-
mission to the East by the steamer Ripon, on the 4th ?list 7
is £206,714, of which £4,462 is gold, and the rest silver.e

SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.

Mr. J. LOCKE asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether the Metropolitan Board had commenced the con-,
struction of low level sewers, for the purpose of preventing
the sewage of the metropolis from passing into the river
Thames • or whether, on the contrary, they were merely
proceeding with high level sewers, in order to divert the
water from brooks and rivulets, and also the rain water,
from passing into the river through the present sewers ?
Mr. FITZROY said the works in question belonged not
to his department, but to the Board of Works, who had
been invested with full power in reference to the matter last
session. However, he had communicated with the chair-
man of that board, who stated to him that the works were
proceeding.

CONFISCATION IN DUDE.;
Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India,
whether the proclamation confiscating the soil of Oude to
the Crown was being acted upon, so that, while the rights
of the talookdars have been restored in many instances,
those of the peasants were considered to be forfeited.
Sir C. WOOD, who was very indistinctly heard, was un-
derstowl to say that only a few of the estates had been for-
feited, and not the estates of those talookdars who had pre-
served their allegiance.
THE MILITARY COMMISSIONERS TO THE
ALLIED AND AUSTRIAN ARMIES.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, why a return, ordered on the 9th of June,
relative to the Military Commissioners sent to the head-
quarters of the French, Sardinian, and Austrian armies,
had not been presented ; and whether there was any ob-
jection to lay upon the table the reports made by those
officers up to the present time ?
Lord J. RUSSELL considered that it would be highly
objectionable to produce the return in question.

WEEDON COMMISSION.

Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary for War whether
the report of the commission appointed to inquire into the
state of the Ordnance Department at Weedon, &c., had
been received ; and, if received, when it would be laid upon
the table of the house.

Mr. S. HERBERT replied that the report of the com-
mission appointed to inquire into the transactions at Wee-
don had not yet been received, but no soon as it had been
presented, and the Government had had time for its con-
sideration, it would be laid upon the table. He had no wish
to clash with the hon. and gallant member with regard to
the committee for which he (Col. Dunne) intended to move,
and he might therefore state that he merely proposed the
reappointment of the committee which sat at the end of last
session, whose labours hethought it desirable to recommence
at as early a period as possible.

A CRIMEAN HERO.

A.t the Worship-street Police-court, on Saturday;
Elizabeth Produce, a married woman, was chargeu
with stealing a; war medal.
James Bancroft, a fine tall fellow, said—l ale ill
the service of the Eastern Counties Railway C,l:
pany, and on' this (Saturday) afternoon,
passing along a street in Shoreditch, with swe'
onions in my hand, a man, who was a perfect
stranger to me, knocked some of them out of m 7
hand. While remonstrating with him the Pte'
soner came up and said she was his wife, at the
same instant I felt her take my watch from ins
waistcoat pocket. I got possession of that, ell 3
then she snatched a medal from my breast coat; t
had four clasps, and I fear it is lost, for she gav'ejin
to a man, who ran away instantly. I have betielliat,
four great battles, namely, Alma, Inkermant „t

to an arrangement. They asked for punishment for tl-
young man, and then would bo willing to treat with all
respect and forbearance any offer on the part of the father.
Dr. Leapingwell—You will get nothing else if you press
for punishment.
The insolvent was then examined by Mr. Naylor. He
said he never told Mr. Wells that his father was at Cam-
bridge, or that he was going to present him with a gold
watch. So far as he could recollect, he said he wanted silo
for his father : that was true at the time, as he was going to
take it down to him. He believed he said ho was going to
present the watch to his father. He never said one word
about having got through an examination. He never said
one word about the " little-go." Ho had never been in for
any examination at that time. That (promissory note given
to Railing), and those letters were in his handwriting.
[One of these letters represented his father as so grievously
ill that his life was despaired of, and insolvent was unable
to leave the house for a moment, and contained a promise t°
pay Railing.] His father was unwell, but not seriously
it was untrue that he was like to die. He gave the horse
and cart to the Torrents to sell for him ; he did not sell it
to them. He then tried to get it back to give] to Mr.
Railing, but did not succeed. The letters, and those (Pro'
ducel) to Mr. Wells were in two different handwritings ;
one is not feigned. He wrote one hand as often as the *
other.
His Honour said it was quite impossible to grant a final
order. It would be out of the question that day. ll°
could make no more lenient order than that the petition
might remain on the file. the
Mr. Naylor pressed for a dismissal On the part of
judgment creditors, in order that the insolvent might suffer
by being sent to prison.
His Honour said he should not have the slightest scruP,.
in dismissing the petition, but could not shut out the facv
of the offer of the father.
After some vain attempts at accommodation, his Honour
said he should take upon himself to decide the case. 14°
day would be named for the final order, and no protection
would be granted.
The insolvent then left the court, followed by the ot
cers bearing warrants against his person on behalf of gas •
judgment creditors, and a posse of tradesmen and ahoy!
attracted by the somewhat novel spectacle. The
insolvent
his way to the railway station, accompanied by Ills
solicitor (Mr. Hunt), and was there arrested.

on Saturday, to confer on the subject of the ciculai
letter from the War-office in reference to the forma-
tion of a rifle corps. The meeting was convened
by the Lord-Lieutenant (Viscount Hill), who pre-
sided. The following resolutions were unanimously
passed :
" 1. That this meeting very cordially concurs with the
Lord-Lieutenant in the desire to afford every facility for
the organisation of volunteer rifle corps in this county.
"2. That the Deputy-Lieutenants in each sub-division,
with the aid of such gentlemen as may be willing to co- '
operate, be requested to receive and enrol the names of
the proposed forces. That extracts of as much of the
War-office circular of the 12th and 25th inst. as is appli-
oable to this county, be furnished for information to the
several sub-divisions.
"3. That a general meeting of the Lieutenancy and of
the members enrolled be conuened at such time as the Lord
Lieutenant may deem it desirable, when regulations and
instructions may be prepared and considered for the cloth-
ing and guidance of the force."

WOODBRID GE .
A movement has been set on foot in this town
for the purpose of establishing a Volunteer Rifle
Corps. Only a few days are required before the
requisite notice will be sent to Earl Stradbroke,
the Lord-Lieutenant of the county. Most of the
influential gentlemen in the neighbourhood are ex-
pected to give their support.

CORN EXCHANGE.

---
The leading country markets hold on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat; nevertheless, all kinds
moved off heavily, at drooping currencies. Barley, as well
as all other spring corn, including Hour, commanded very
little attention, on easier terms.
Throughout the continent wheat and•flour have sold at
full quotations, but the transactions in those articles have
been by no means extensive. Spring corn has continued
tolerably firm in price. The American markets have been
less excited of late, and the quotations generally have
further advanced.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were veFy moderate. From abroad we received libera sup-
plies, viz., 27,500 qrs of wheat, 6,370 of barley, 23,311 oats,
30 beans, 188 peas, 4,065 linseed, 4,329 rapeseed, 116 sundry
seeds, 7,977 sacks and 1,926 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Essex,'the receipts of wheat were
limited—from Kent, only moderate; but there were several
of last Monday's unsold samples on offer. The attendance
of both town and country millers was small, and the de-
mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy
in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations, when com-
pared with Monday last, of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
The stands were rather heavily supplied with foreign
wheat. Even the finest parcels wore neglected, and the
quotations may be called 2s. per quarter lower than on this
day sen'night.
In floating cargoes of grain scarcely any business was
doing.
Fine barley was scarce, and in fair request, at full prices,
but low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at barely late
rates.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at labt week's
currency.
Good and useful oats realised previous rates. Inferior
parcels were very dull. '
We had a slow inquiry for beans, at a decline in value
of is per quarter.
Peas moved off slowly; at barely late rates.
The flour trade was heavy, and prices were rather droop-
, ing. Town made fell to 50s per 2801bs.

IPSWICH.

All preliminaries havin,g been made, a public
meeting has been convened •by the Mayor to esta •
blish a corps of Rifle Volunteers.

NEWCASTLE• ON-TYNE.

On Friday night a meeting, which was well at-
tended, was held in the Guildhall, Newcastle-on-
Tyne, for the purpose of further considering the
expediency of forming a rifle corps in the town.
The Mayor presided. Sir John Fife, Mr. Green,
Mr. M. L. Sibling, Mr. Edward Glynn, and other
gentlemen spoke. A committee was formed for
obtaining volunteers.
The MAYOR suggested that a resolution should
be passed to the effect that the secretaries be re-
quested to communicate with the secretaries of the
various corps to be formed throughout the kingdom
for the purpose of arranginc, a bill to be brought
into Parliament for the better regulation of rifle
corps. The idea that they should be acting under
a bill passed in the reign of George 111. was quite
absurd. It did not apply to the case. He had no
doubt a new bill would receive the support of Par-
liament, and no doubt a very efficient force would
be formed in this country, such as would defend her
from all invasion and all foreign foes. A resolution
in accordance with the Mayor's suggestion was
agreed to, and the meeting adjourned for a fort-
night.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses in good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
448 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any
Railway Station in the United Kingdom. Post-office orders
payable to Joseph Thorley, 77, Newgate-street, London.
N.B.—The public are cautioned against being imposed upon
by worthless imitations.

The interesting ceremony of presenting new
colours to the 30th (Cambridgeshire) Regiment
took. place on Friday forenoon on the Nine Acres in
the Phcenix-park. It having been announced that
the colours were to be presented by the Countess of
Eglinton, a large concourse of fashionables were on
the ground long before the commencement of the
proceedings. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
and Countess of Eglinton, General Lord Seaton,
Major-General Cascoigne, and their respective
suites and staff arrived at 11 o'clock, and, after the
colours had been consecrated and handed to the
junior ensigns, the Countess of Eglinton addressed
the officers and soldiers as follows :

" Colonel Mauleverer' officers, non-commissioned officers,
and privates of the 30th Regiuicnt,—lt is With no ordinary
pleasure that I deliver into your safe keeping these colours,
and it is almost superfluousto say that more glorious names
than those inscribed on them never waved over the ranks
of a more distinguished regiment. It has teen at all times
the province of the weaker sex to admire and reward deeds
of daring from which they are precluded ; and, though I
well know that iu your case no incitement to do your duty
is necessary, it may be that the colours which I now pre-
sent to you will not be the less acceptable because they
come from the hand of a woman. A century and a half
of successful service in every quarter of the globe presents
a glorious history in itself, and the high character gained
in Egypt, the Peninsula, and at Waterloo has been
maintained in the bloody fields of the Alma and
Inkerman. To you, Colonel Mauleverer, who havd
so often bled in the service of your. country, and to many
more'whorn I see before me who have shared in the later
triumphs, I beg to offer my tribute of admiration and gra-
titude; and to those who have yet to win their laurels I
will express my entire confidence that they prove

VOLUNTEER CORPS.

BIRKENHEAD.
The Wirral Rifle Regiment makes rapid and
satisfactory progress. District committees have
been appointed, and volunteers, assured by the es-
planation of the War-office of the 25th, are rapidly
giving in their names. In the Birkenhead division
about 50 gentlemen have entered, in Oaten and
Clanghton upwards of 150, in New Brighton a
company, and in Rockferry a company. The total
strength will be from 600 to 800.
The Chairman of the General Committee of the
regiment, Mr. John Laird, is invited to meet the
Lord-Lieutenant and the Vice-Lieutenant of the-
county this day (Monday) to settle the details and
organise the regiment for immediate service.

L;OBLECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
LI FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the -distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVtANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical; hence, that when the latter,
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

CORNWALL.

The Lord-Lieutenant of Cornwall, Lord Vivian,
convened a meeting of the lieutenancy of the county
at Bodmin a few days ago, at which it was resolved
that, subject to the supply of arms by the Govern-
ment, it was desirable to raise artillery, and rifle
corps in the several petty sessional divisions of the
county, and that the deputy lieutenants would in
their respective districts give their best aid to the
efficient 'carrying out of the object. It was also
resolved that in the opinion of the meeting the arms
to be used should be provided by, and be the pro-
perty of, the Government. The meeting was well
attended, and Lord Vivian came specially from
London to attend it.

HALIFAX.
When this country was in danger of invasion from
Napoleon I. no fewer than three regiments of militia
were raised in Halifax ; and now, when circum-
stances appear to require that efforts should be
made to provide for any like contingency, a move•
went for the formation of a Mile Corps has been
set on foot. Several persons have signified their
willingness and desire to join such a Carps, and in
compliance with an influential requisition to the
Mayor (Mr. T. S. Walsh), a public meeting has
been convened, to be held on Friday next, to give
the movement a definite shape.
The first name appended to the requisition is that
of Mr. Frank Crossley, one of the representatives
for the West Riding of Yorkshire, and it is fol-
lowed by that of several of the local magistrates,
manufacturers, and tradesmen.

CORN EXCHANGE.

It having been officially stated that no treaty has been
entered into between France and Russia, there was very
little disposition shown to operate in English wheat to-
day. The show of samples was small, and it was with
some difficulty that Monday's advanced rates were sup-
ported.

The imports of foreign wheat are 16,140 quarters. Most
descriptions were held at full prices; but the business
transacted was very limited. Scarcely any floating cargoes
were on offer.

We had a moderate inquiry for barley at previous rates,
and fine malt supported Monday's currency.
Oats were much less active, and damp parcels were
rather easier.

Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly
