PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of encousag,
ing the growth of cotton in India, in consequence of the
probable decrease in the supply of that article from Ame-
rica, owing to the dissensions in that country ; in favour of
providing means for the better education of Roman Catho-
lic children ; and for securing the free exercise of their reli-
gious worship by pauper adults in workhouses, &c.
RELIGIOUS PERSECUTIONS IN SPAIN.
Sir R. PEEL gave notice that he should ask a question
en this subject.

MAILS BETWEEN GALWAY AND AMERICA.
Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
if the Government had terminated the contract entered into
with the Atlantic Royal Steam Company for carrying
mails between Galway and America ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was competent for the Government to terminate a
contract of this description without consulting the
house upon the subject, but the papers relating to the same
were afterwards, according to practice, laid on the table of
the house, so that hon. members were in possession of the
circumstances which determined the Government in the
course they adopted. His noble friend the Postmaster-
General had addressed a letter to the secretary of the com-
pany in question, declaring that contract with the company
at an end. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) received
a note from the secretary of the company dated this day, to
the effect that, if time were afforded the company they
would be prepared to argue the issues on all the questions
raised relative to this subject.
MERCHANT SHIPPING ACTS.
Sir H. STRACEY asked the President of the Board of
Trade when he purposed to bring in his bill to amend the
Merchant Shipping Acts, of which he had at different times
given notice ?

Mr. M. GIBSON said that this question had been un-
avoidably postponed in consequence of the
public business, but he would introduce a bill ou the sub-
ject immediately after the Whitsuntide recess, and he

trusted that the state of business would not further delay
the consideration of it to any length of time.
THE CONVENTION WITH FRANCE.

In reply to Sir H. ST.RoAfCEthye EXCHEQUER said that

The CHANCELLOR had received no official informa-
tion of any Pme
ee(le.orng.. in the French Senate calculated to
infringe the provisions of the convention in reference to the
fisheries of the two countries. lie believed that there was
v 7 the part of the French Government to act
desi7 nhoin regard to carrying out the provisions of the
every
d fal
convention.
ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.
M'EVOY drew the attention of the house to what
he considered a breach of privilege in reference to himself.
He entered the roum where the select committee on the
registration of births, deaths, and marrriages in Ireland we a
sitting, when the examination of witnesses was going on.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

The following are the census returns of several of
the principal places in South Staffordshire. The
rapid growth of Wolverhampton, Walsall, West-
bromwicb, and some others is very remarkable.
Bilston is the only exception to the general increase,
as the population has not advanced more than a
few hundreds :

THE CENSUS OF 1861.

A list of a number of provincial towns containing
upwards of 10,000 inhabitants was published a week
since in The Sun with the ascertained result of the
present Census appended and compared with those
of 1851. The comparison, as will be seen from the
subjoined table, can now be considerably extended,

A sufficient body of evidence is collected in these
returns to show that the present census will exhibit
the most remarkable fluctuations of population re-
corded in the national annals. Towns almost coeval
with the existence of the empire have been left far
behind by places which 20 years since were little
more than villages. Thus, the venerable Bury St.
Edmund's has been distanced already by one of the
busy, pushing Hartlepools. Glasgow, again, has
augmented its numbers to an extent not equalled
by 20 or 30 smaller towns massed together; while
Edinburgh has lost at least 10,000 of the natural
increase of her population during the ten years. In
fact, the lesser lights have waned that the brilliancy
of the greater might be increased.

PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL.

Mr. PAULL moved the second reading of this bill,
which he said he had now for four sessions brought under
the consideration of the house. On the last occasion the
bill was referred to a select committee for consideration,
and the present measure was founded upon the opinion
contained in the report, and also upon the evidence given
before the committee. He did not propose any new prin-
ciple or any new matter of detail, but as the powers had
been given in several bills that have received the sanction
of Parliament, viz , the Tramways Bill, the Fairs and
Markets (Ireland) Bill, he thought it could be safely given
to Piers and Harbours. The machinery for carrying out
the provisions of the bill could be amply discussed in com-
mittee, but he proposed that the act should, in the event of
its receiving their sanction, be carried out by the Board of
Trade. Its principal object was that in the event of parties
wishing to save the money expended in obtaining an Act
of Parliament to take land and levy tolls for the making of
piers and harbours they might, after they had deposited
the plans and compiled the whole of the standing orders
of Parliament proceed by provisional order of the Board of
Trade with the construction thereof. He had
provided for the proper consideration of any
objection that might arise to any proposed new
works by adopting the arrangements now insisted on by
their standing orders with respect to legislation of this de-
I scription.

Mr. M. GIBSON said, although the bill from its name
might be supposed to effect the same object as that pro-
posed by the Government, it did not in the slightest degree
clash with it, and if the house should agree to read it a
second time, it might be made to act as an aid to the Go-
vernment measure. If the Legislature thought proper to
throw the duty of carrying out the provisions of the bill on
the Board of Trade, he should have no objection to givs
all the assistance in his power to it. (Hear, hear.) On
the part of the Government he had to say there was no ob-
jection to the second reading of the bill ; but he must re.
serve to himself the right to suggest any alteration that
might be considered necessary in committee.

Mi. HENLEY thought the bill might be greatly imm
proved when they came to consider it in detail in coin•
mittee.

Sir L.'PALK supported the bill. He said he was the
owner of a harbour which came within the provisions of
the bill, and if it received the assent of the Legislature he
should, without doubt, avail himself of its provisions.
The bill, after a few words from Mr. BUCHANAN, was
read a second time.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
..L. After long experience, deep researches into chemistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, Sc., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 7.1 A. 14 barrels welch net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,

of Amina, in Bellini's " Sonnambula" on Tuesday, will
repeat the character on Wednesday next—a special per-

world.

HERR BLUMNER'S CONCERT.—Herr S. Blumner,
a German pianist, gave an orchestral concert last evening
at the Hanover•square Rooms. His most pretentious effort
was the execution of a concerto by Henselt, with orchestral
accompaniment. Herr Blumner played it energetically and
skilfully, eliciting on several occasions unanimous and well-
deserved applause. The concerto was accompanied with
unerring precision and admirable expression by an excel-
lent band, guided by the masterly ability of Mr. Alfred
Mellon. The vocalists were Mdme. Lemmens Sherrington
and Mr. Walter Bolton. The beautiful violin playing of
M. Vieuxtemps, who played two pieces of his own in his
very best manner, contributed largely to the enjoyment
which this excellent concert afforded to a very AUUleratlt3
and highly fashionable audience.

OUTRAGE ON 111. FAZE

It may be remembered that an account was given of an
assault in March last on M. Fazy, Vice-President of the
Council of State of Geneva, by one Marchand. Two days
back this man was brought to trial before the Court of
Assizes of Geneva not only for the assault, but on the charge
of outraging M. Fazy in the office of his department, and
casting on him imputations calculated to affect his honour.
The facts of the case were these. On March 25 Marchand
called on M. Fazy at the Treasury, that gentleman being
also President of the Department of Finance, and asked to
he allowed the contract for the demolition of part of the
fortifications. M. Fazy answered that the matter did not
concern him, but the Department of Public Works, and
recommended Marchand to apply there. But the man
broke out into violent language, and accused the depart-
ment of showing partiality to certains persons to the pre-
judice of others. M. Fazy said that he would beg M. Fon-
tanel, chief of the Department of Public Works, to examine
any claim Marchand might have to the contract which he
solicited, but that declaration did not satisfy the man,
and he insisted on having a positive promise that the
contract would be given him. M. Fazy repeated that he
would send a recommendation to M. Fontanel, but as
Marchand continued to talk, M. Fazy at last, getting im-
patient, cried out, "Go away—you weary me I" On that
Marchand said, " You are an insolent fellow I" and shook
his fist at M. Fazy. That gentleman, fearing to be at-
tacked, took up a chair to defend himself. At that moment
some clerks hearing the noise, entered, and the man was
turned out : he went away muttering threats. The day
after, as M. Fazy was walking across the Pont des
Bergues on his way home from the Council of State,
Marchand went up to him, and, without saying
a word, struck him a violent blow in the face with his
closed hand, and followed it up by two or three others
in the breast. He would probably have continued the
assault if M. Fazy, and a gentleman who was with him,
had not rushed forward and held him until he was taken
into custody by the police. The advocate of the prisoner
appealed to the jury for indulgence, on the ground that the
man received provocation, and had been since kept in
prison more than six weeks awaiting his trial. The jury
declared him guilty, and the Court condemned him to nine
months' imprisonment and the costs.

A sufficient body of evidence is collected in these
returns to show that the present census will exhibit
the most remarkable fluctuations of population re-
corded in the national annals. Towns almost coeval
with the existence of the empire have been left far
behind by places which 20 years since were little
more than villages. Thus, the venerable Bury St.
Edmund's has been distanced already by one of the
busy, pushing Hartlepools. Glasgow, again, has
augmented its numbers to an extent not equalled
by 20 or 30 smaller towns massed together ; while
Edinburgh has lost at least 10,000 of the natural
increase of her population during the ten years. In
fact, the lesser lights have waned that the brilliancy
of the greater might be increased.

I house for its concurrence any such bill tb.e question
( shall be put whether the house will agree to the
same, and on such resolution being agreed to the
bill to which it relates shall be forthwith sent to
the house for its concurrence without any further
question being put or any debate allowed.
" The Committee also suggested, through their
chairman, that it would be expedient that the
House of Commons should autnorise some one of its
members to move as soon as possible the first read-
ing and the printing of all bills sent down
from the House of Lords, in conformity with the
practice adopted by the house with reference to
bills sent up from the House of Commons.
These suggestions did not meet with the concur-
rence of the Committee in the House of Commons,
for the reasons set forth in their report, which
has since been communicated to this house. That
report, however, contains certain resolutions agreed
to by the Committee of the House of Commons,
which, if carried out would, in their opinion, effect
' changes in their own forms and proceedings
which they confidently believe will expedite the
despatch of business from the first commencement
of the Session, and thus give to the Lords an earlier
opportunity of considering their measures. Under
those circumstances, and the Committee in the
Commons having made their report to the house, it
appeared to the Committee unnecessary to prolong
their sittings ; and that it would be desirable, be-
fore any further steps are taken in the Lords, to
watch the effect of the alterations proposed, in case
they should receive the sanction of the House of
Commons.

BRISTOL.

The comparative statement of the census for 1851
and 1861, showing the increase or decrease in the
several districts for the " old city of Bristol," gives
the following results :-1851.—Number of houses
inhabited, 9,130; uninhabited, 789; building, 15.
1861.—Number of houses—inhabited, 9,398 ; un-
inhabited, 1,094 ; building, 27. Population.-
1851.—Males, 30,308; females, 35,404 ; total,
65,712. 1861.—Males, 29,610 ; females, 35,539 ;
total, 65,149. This shows a total decrease of 563
in the parishes composing the old city, which is
accounted for by the fact of the return of persons
on board vessels having been made direct to the
Census-office instead of being added to the Bristol
return as was the case in 1851. The removal of
lunatics from the city to Stapleton also makes a dif-
ference, the return for St. Peter's Hospital in 1851
being 263, and in 1861 only 138. The total num-
ber of persons in the district of St. Mary Redcliff,
St. Thomas, and Temple is precisely the same as in
1851—viz., 14,379. In Clifton and other parts now
comprehended within the city and county of Bris-
tol there has been a large increase, but the returns
are not yet perfected.

ROME.

Cardinal Antonelli, by order of the Pope, has
addressed the following protest to the diplomatic
body:—

"Rome, 9th July.
" The good faith with which the Government of
the Holy See endeavours to fulfil its engagements
in spite of the critical circumstances in which it
is placed owing to the sacrilegious spoliation of the
major part of its domains, does not allow it to re-
main silent in presence of the loan of 500 millions
of francs which the Piedmontese Goverment has
resolved to contract. If this resolution be looked
at with only the slightest attention, it will be
clearly seen that a sum so enormous is not in-
tended solely to provide for the wants of Piedmont
properly so called, but by overcharging also the
provinces taken from the Sovereign Pontiff, their
legitimate Sovereign, tends to increase by a new
public debt the load of usurpations, and to leave
for a long series of years lamentable traces of its
passage, to the great detriment of the population
of the Pontifical State. In consequence, the Holy
Father, conscious of the duties incumbent on him
with regard to the sacred patrimony of the Church,
and of his own subjects, cannot do less than protest
against this loan, declaring that he will not recog-
nize the effects of it as far as concerns the interests
of the Pontifical State. The undersigned Cardinal,
Secretary of State, in notifying this protest to your
Excellency, begs you to make it known to your
Government to serve as a rule in case of need. I
take this opportunity, &c.,
" G. CARDINAL ANTONELLI."

THE PRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of geld at Faris is about 3 per mile prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.376 per .£1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint p
that
about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London
42 is.
than in Par
By advices front Hamburg the price of gold is 6) per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.81 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1 per cent. dearer in Loudon than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 100 to 107 per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countrifs, shows that the
exchange is against England, But, alter making allowance
present
rate loss of interest and charges of transport, the
rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States.

A HORSE AND CART TN THE THAMES.--Yester-
day, at noon, a man named Richard Webb, in the employ
of Mr. Howard, contractor, of Powis-street, Woolwich, was
in the act of loading s. quantity of stone into a cart from a
barge in the Thames, at the end of Warren-lane, when the
water suddenly rose, in consequence, it is supposed, of the
swell arising from a passing steam vessel, and the vehicle,
with a valuable horse and the man at work, were carried
out into the Thames. With much exertion Webb was saved
in an exhausted. state, but the horse, which is valued at
friO, was drowned,
