IMPERIA

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tun DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL.
Mr. VILLIERS moved that the house go into committee
on this bill. He explained that its object was, in the first
place, to reduce the period of residence ; and, in the second
place, to extend the area ; both of which principles seemed
to be admitted as just by practical men connected with
parochial matters throughout the country. He believed
that the bill would be of great benefit not only to this
country but to Ireland (hear, hear.) The right hon. gen-
tleman quoted extensively from the reports of inspectors he
had received, to show the inequalities which at present
prevailed in reference to the mode of assessment.

Mr. S. EST C OURT said that pi °position had been made
to reject this bill, and he presumed that that question would
not be raised today. He (Mr. Estcourt) :should be most
ready to give his best support to the bill, bocause he
thought it would, with one exception, tend to simplify the
poor laws of the country, and would be of great advan-
tage to the country as well as to the poor.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that members would have a much
better opportunity of discussing the measure if the Speaker
were allowed to leave the chair, so that the house might go
iuto committee.

Mr. KNIGHT thought that the house had great reason
to complain of the course which had been taken by the
head of the Poor Law Department, who had introduced the
bill without allowing the country to know anything
about it.

Mr. LOCKE, on the part of his constituents, objected to
the bill, which provided that the charges should be levied
upon unions, which gave the large parishes nothing, for
they were unions in themselves at the present time.
Sir J. PAKINGTON rose, and was

ITALY.

A communication from TUrin, of the 24th, in the
Constituttonnel, says :—" To-day being the second
anniversary of the battle of Solferino, the King was
to have reviewed the troops of the garrison, and
issued an order of the day to the army, for which
purpose his Majesty was to have returned from
Valslieri this morning, but a slight indisposition
prevented him. Under the circumstances of the
anniversary in question, the language which King
Victor Emmanuel would have made use of to his
troops might have been of a nature to give rise to
an interpretation of a not very pacific kind, as
were the very innocent words he delivered to
the deputation who presented the address from the
Romans. The review was held by General de Cos-
sata, commanding the sth Corps d'Armee, who
published an order of the day to the troops. The
troops, assembled in the Campo Martio, received
this order of the day with repeated cries of Italy
fo ever!' Long live the King!' The Count de
San-Martino has again applied to the Government
for sixty battalions of the line in order to form
moveable columns on all the points of the Nea-
politans provinces infested by political brigands
or by bands of robbers, and other disturbers of
public tranquillity. The King's Lieutenant at
Naples had already made a similar application
under the Ministry of General Fanti, who, from
reasons of a different nature, refused it. Now the
Count do San-Martino renews the application to
the Central Government, being convinced, he says,
that the only means of re-establishing tranquillity
and safety in the Southern provinces consists in
clearing them completely of some hundreds of ban-
dits or partisans of the old regime. My opinion is
that the Ricasoli Ministry will not hesitate to send to
the Count the reinforcements which he asks for, and
the granting of which he makes the sine qua non con-
dition of his continuance in office. As however the
removal of sixty battalions of the regular army
would too much weaken the military position of Italy
on her frontiers of the Mincio and the Po, a fresh
appeal will be immediately made for the mobiliza-
tion of National Guards. In Sicily things are also
in a similar position. The bands of Bourbonians
which landed between Noto and Syracuse, and
have succeeded in reaching the mountains of the
Island, paralyze the surveillance and activity of
considerable forces. Lieutenant-General Della
Rovere, after having promised the greatest in-
dulgence to the guilty men, if at the end of three
days they made their submission, has been
compelled, by the force of circumstances, and
for the purpose of punishing some acts
of savage ferocity, to apply a system of
rigour and severity rather in opposition to the tra-
ditions and principles of the King's Government.
Twenty-three of those men, while occupied in set-
ting fire to a village, were arrested and shot.
Certainly such extremities are always to be regret-
ted, but examples of this kind are, unfortunately,
the only means which can be now adopted, for
putting an end to civil war, and saving innocent

REMOVAL OF IRISH AND SCOTCH POOR.

In reply to Sir F. HEYGATE,
Mr. VILLIERS hoped the hon. member would defer
his question until to-morrow, when he would be in a better
pOsition to answer it.
PAROCHIAL RELIEF.

Viscount RAYNHAM asked the President of the Poor
Law Board, whether the authorities of workhouses are not
bound by law to admit at all times all persons who apply to
them for admission ? .

Mr. VILLIERS said that he was happy the noble
lord had asked this question, and stated that the
antherities of the Unions were bound to admit
persons applying for relief at the workhouse provided the
establishment was not full, but if it were the relieving
?Meer would be instructed to obtain relief for the applicants
in some other way.
THE IRISH CONVICT DEPARTMENT.

Lord N A.A.S asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether
Captain Crofton had intimated t 9 the Government that, in
his opinion, great difficulties would arise in carrying on
the business of the Irish convict department, owing to the
reduction that had lately been made in the number of the
directors of the convict prisons ; and, whether Capt. Crof-
ton had in consequence announced his intention of retiring
from the service.

Mr. CARDWELL explained that while there was every
economy,
disposition on the part of Government to consult
it was not intended to interfere in the slighted
degree with
actthat
in Ire-
the efficiency of the working of the convict system
Ire-
land. Captain Crofton had merely expressed a
the state of his health would render it necessary for him to
res,gn his situation, which, he trusted, however, would
not
not
be the case.
BLOCKADE OF RIO HACHE, &c.
In reply to Mr. BERKELEY,
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not a blockade, but a
mere closing of the ports.
SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.
Mr. LOWE begged to correct an error which he made
the other day, in stating that a paragraph which he had
quoted as being from the report of the committee of the
South Kensington Museum with respect to Captain Fouke's
plan, was from the draft report, and not from the original.
He read an extract from the latter, which was substantially
the same.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a second time :—The Salis-

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Marlborough Railway, Barnsley Coal Railway, London
and North-Western Railway (Eccles, Tyldesley, and
Wigan), and the Trent, Ancholme, and Grimsby Railway.
STANDING ORDERS.
Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing order 185
(formerly 223) be considered, in order to its being amended
by the insertion of a paragraph to the effect, that no provi-
sion authorising any company to raise money or subscribe
towards a guarantee of money by the undertaking of any
other company should be introduced into any bill which
was not brought in by the company, thereby not authorised
to raise money or to subscribe or to guarantee.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE objected to any
measure that would tend to prevent the extension of rail-
way accommodation generally, feeling satisfied that the
facilities of railways promoted the development of local
traffic. He thought the matter should be left to private

companies.
Earl GRANVILLE said he felt bound to support the
motion, and considered it was the duty of the house to
simplify the operation of the railway system, and to reduce,
as far as possible, the expenso attending the construction

of railways.
Some discussion ensued, in the course of which it was
contended by noble lords that though some alteration in the
existing system was necessary, still this motion went too
far, and might operate very injuriously in checking railway
enterprise.
Lord REDESDALE said that he would not press the
motion in its present form, but would introduce some modi-
fications to meet the objections of noble lords.
The motion was then withdrawn.

Gardens at Marseilles eleven young ostriches, hatched in
the grounds of M. I'astre, at Mouredon. All previous at-
tempts to hatch ostrich eggs in France had failed, and suc-
cess in the present case is attributed to the old bird having
formed her nest on a dry sand soil quite apart, in a solitary
valley. The incubation lasted nearly forty days, and out
of 13 eggs 11 produced young.
The committee of the Mercantile Law Amendment
Society have issued their report upon the alterations made

the loss of the chief judge, and of those clauses which en-

estate out of the hands of the official assignee, and give it
to agents selected by themselves. The committee express
their opinion that unless the creditors' assignee clauses are
restored the bill had better be rejected. A petition is now

ROAD S2EAM ENGINE.

Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the St. Pan-
cras Vestry—Mr. Churchwarden Stockton in the
chair.
Mr. BRETTINGHAM called attention to a most
seLiovm necurrance which had taken place in the
Hampstead-road, by which an omnibus had been
overturned through one of these locomotive road
steam engines, and several passengers seriously, if
not fatally, injured. These locomotives were em-
ployed by a contractor in removing the debris of
what was formerly known as the Reservoir in
the Hampstead-road, and they went snorting along
the high roads, continually frightening horses, and
one had caused the horses of a Hampstead omnibus
to take fright, rush upon the pavement, and cap-
size all the outside passengers into the road, break-
ing the arms of some, and, he believed, the legs of
' others, besides cutting and contusing the inside
passengers with the broken glass. He was informed
that in some cases fatal consequences were likely
to arise, and, as no doubt most of them had seen,
this road steam-engine had broken down itself.
There could be no doubt but it was a great and
dangerous nuisance, and that the attention of the
Government authorities should be called to it.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. SUTTON agreed with Mr. Brettingham, and
moved a resolution to the effect that the attention
of the Secretary of State be immediately called to
the subject of these road locomotives having caused
the upset of an omnibus, and to the great danger
and inconvenience they caused to the public, espe-
cially those travelling in other vehicles.
Mr. J. TAYLOR, in seconding the motion, said ho
had seen as many as 12 trucks drawn along the
roads by one of these machines, and it was the duty
of the board to call the attention of the Secretary
of State to the matter.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and
ordered to be transmitted to the Secretary of State
forthwith.

THE TEMPORALITIES OF THE POPE.

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs whether he had received any account that
the Senator Heckeren had lately arrived at Paris from
Vienna as the bearer of a secret and confidential pro-
position from the Emperor Francis Joseph to the Empe-
ror Napoleon, to the effect that the two Emperors will
co-operate to form an independent army for the protection
of the temporalities of the Pope, and will engage to prevent
Piedmont from entering the States of the Church; and,
whether a letter, published as from Baron Ricasoli, is
authentic, in which, without denying the report, he is
stated to say, "I am confident we shall checkmate all in-
trigues ; my inflexibility and calmness are equal to the
right which I defend ?"

Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Foreign-office had re-
ceived no official communication relative to Senator
Heckeren, or the letter alluded to. However, he
had a communication from the French Ambas-
sador in London, to the effect that the Roman
Catholic powers should act in concert with regard
to the temporal power of the Pope, which was answered in
the negative by the French Government. General arrange-
ments had been made at Vienna in respect to the
temporalities of the Pope, and the Roman Catholic princes
bad been represented on that Occasion.
EAST INDIA COUNCIL, &c., BILL. .

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. BRIGHT presented two petitions from the na-
tive merchants of Madras and Bombay, to the effect
that the representative system might, to a considerable
"tent, be safely introduced into India, and complain-
ing of the extravagant expenditure of the Indian
Government, of the onerous taxes, and for the adoption of a
more effectual control over the council. After some dis-
cussion the house went into committee on the bill, and the
first clause was agreed to.
On clause 2,
Mr. AYRTON moved the following amendment :
Add to clause 2, "the repeal of the act sth and 6th Wil-
liam I V., chap. 52, and of sections 15, 16, 17, and 19 of the

people of India. Ho should almost think it necessary to

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

Two extensive fires occurred in the metropolis
yesterday morning—in High-street, Kensington,
and in York-street, Walworth. The most serious
of the two commenced in the principal part of
High-street, Kensington, on the premises belong-
ing to Mr. J. Perma;n, a hairdresser, No. 32. This
building was 90 feet long, and two storeys high,
and adjoined the premises of Mr. H. Stevens, a
boot and shoemaker, and so rapidly did the flames
' progress that both homies appear,d on fire at the
same moment. Six children and two females, who.
were unable to get through the fire, made their
appearance at one of the windows of Mr. Stevens's
premises, and cried for assistance. Conductor Stan-
ning came up with the Royal Society's escape, and
succeeded in bringing them down in safety. The
engines were set to work, but the flames continued
to spread, seizing almost simultaneously the
premise of Mr. Jarvis, grocer, No. 31 ; Mr. W.
Dallis, dealer in china and glass ; those of Mr. T.
Fox, leatherseller, 23, Young-street ; one unoccu-
pied, belonging to Mr. T. Smith, 22, in the same
street ; as well as a range of stabling in Weston's-
yard, belonging to Mr. R. 0. Lasham. The fire-
men kept to their work, but the fire still continued,
and was not entirely extinguished till an advanced
hour of the day. The loss amounts to several thou-
sand pounds sterling. Various offices are greatly
interested, viz , the Sun, Royal Exchange, Pho3nix,
General and County. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The fire at the York Chemical Works,
York-street, Walworth, before it was extinguished,
was attended with serious loss of property. A third
fire occurred this morning at the establishment of
Messrs. Heywood and Co., cloth manufacturers,
Newington-causeway. The flames spread rapidly;
and although in a few minutes water was procured
in abundance, and about a dozen brigade engines
were in full operation, the factory and contents were
destroyed. The cause of the fire is unknown.

THE INDIAN NAVY.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, who had given notice
of a motion on the subject of the reduction of the Indian
navy, now wished for some information as to what arrange.
ments the Government proposed to adopt in order to meet
the deficiency in the naval force that would be created. It
was necessary this reduction should be supplied by her Ma-
jesty's ships, and he wished to know from what source the
expense of meeting the deficiency would be supplied.
The Duke of SOMERSET, having referred to the finan-
cial statement of Mr. Laing in support of the alteration
which it was proposed to make, said that it was intended to
charge the Indian Treasury with the expenses of the pro-
posed alteration.
VOTE BY BALLOT. _ _ .

Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from the Society
for Promoting the Adoption cf Vote by Ballot, setting
forth that the experience of recent cases proved that the
attempts to put in force the penal law for the purpose of pre,
ventingcorrupt practices at elections byfine and imprisonment
had entirely failed in accomplishing their object, and prayed
that attention might be given to the recommendations of
the witnesses examined before the select committee of the
House of Commons in favour of the adoption of vote by

TRIAL OF BLAKELY CANNON.

Much interest has been excited in Liverpool by
the trial of several of Captain Blakely's cannon on
the shore between that town and Southport during
the last week. One little 4-pounder of polished
steel was the object of special admiration, which
its performance fully justified. Although so light
(lcwt. 3qrs. 181 h) that a strong man can lift it, yet
it throws its shot up to 1,000 yards with a flatter
trajectory than an Armstrong or Whitworth 12-
pounder of three times the size. On Tuesday it
was fired at 8 deg. of elevation for some hours to
test the strength of its little carriage, also made
light enough to be carried by a mule. Aim was
consequently not taken carefully, yet every bhot fell
within 100 yards of the same distance from the gun
—2,100 to 2,200 yards. This gun also throws ex-
plosive
shells weighing 31b. Some steel 12-pounders,
weighing only sicwt., were also fired. For the un-
initiated
fully to comprehend their excellence, it
will be necessary to compare their firing with that
of the English Government gun of like calibre:—
Ranges of Blakely 12-pound- Ranges of Armstrong 12-
ers, 4ft. 6in. long, with 11b. pounders, sft. 6in. long,

TIIE EMPEROR AND TUE ENGINEER,

On the Emperor Napoleon's entrance into Brescia
on June 18, 1859, he sent for an engineer of that
place, Cavaliere Paul Chiodi, conversed with him
for some time, and finally engaged him to lower
the waters of the Chiesa and to restore the bridges
which the Austrians had destroyed on that river.
The Sentinella Bresciana announces that the Em-
peror has just sent the engineer a large gold medal
struck expressly for him. On one side is the Em-
peror's portrait, on the other the following inscrip-
tion :—" Given by the Emperor to M. Paul Chiodi,
engineer, captain of the national artillery of Bres-
cia." The medal was accompanied by the following
letter

"Palais du Louvre, Tune 8, 1861.
"M. le Capitaine,—The Emperor has not for-
gotten the offers of service which you so spontane-
ously made to him during our last campaign of
Italy, nor the skilful measures which you took to
lower the waters of the Chiesa which we had yet
to cross, and the passage of which the enemy
seemed inclined to dispute. His Majesty, to show
you the satisfaction he has felt at your find con-
duct, has ordered me to send you the enclosed
medal. This medal, which I transmit to you with
the greatest pleasure, will remind you of the part
you took in the holy war, which had for its object
the independence and liberty of Italy.
" VAILLANT, Marshal of France."

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday in the Council-chamber at the Guildhall. The Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. The Renlembrancer
reported to the court that the act for dis-marketing
Newgate-market, and removing the shambles and
all other buildings connected with, it, and autho-
rising the erection of shops and dwelling-houses
upon their present site, had received the royal
assent, and was now the law of the land. Mr.
Webster, the chairman of the General Purposes
Committee, brought up a report upon the subject
of the propriety of continuing to employ the short-
hand-writers to take notes and print the proceedings
at the Central Criminal Court, which was referred
to them for consideration at a former court. The
report recommended that the practice should be con-
tinued. Mr. Harris, who had originally brought
the subject forward, said that his views were
still unaltered upon the subject, and that it ap-
peared to him that they were spending £9OO a year
for what was, practically, not of the least value
whatever, as the reports were never read, and were
only used as waste paper. He should, therefore,
move as an amendment to the reception of the re-
port that notice should be given that the services
of the shorthand-writers at the Central Criminal
Court would not be required after the present year.
After some discussion the court divided upon the
motion when their appeared—For the amendment,
42 ; against it, 41. Upon the amendment being
put as a substantive motion, Mr. Begley moved an
amendment that the subject should be referred
back to the committee, to consider whether some
other and more economical arrangement might not be made to have the notes of the proceedings taken.
This amendment was, however, lost by a majority
of four, and the original amendment, that notice
should be given that the services of the shorthand-
writers would be dispensed with at the end of the
present year was declared to be carried. Upon the
motion of Mr. Lawley, the chairman of the Coal,
Corn, and Finance Committee, the court sanctioned
a grant of £25 to the Plough-court ragged schools Fetter-lane, and one of £5O to the London Dis-
pensary.

ROAD STEAM ENGINE.

Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the St. Pan-
cras Vestry—Mr. Churchwarden Stockton in the
chair.

Mr. PRETTINGTIAM called attention to a most
serious occumnee which had taken place in the
Hampstead-road, by which an omnibus had been
overturned through one of these locomotive road
steam engines, and several passengers seriously, if
not fatally, injured. These locomotives were em-
ployed by a contractor in removing the debris of
what was formerly known as the Reservoir in
the Hampstead-road, and they went snorting along
the high roads, continually frightening horses, and
one had caused the horses of a Hampstead omnibus
to take fright, rush upon the pavement, and cap-
size all the outside passengers into the road, break-
ing the arms of some, and, he believed, the legs of
others, besides cutting and contusing the inside
passengers with the broken glass. He was informed
that in some cases fatal consequences were likely
to arise, and, as no doubt most of them had seen,
this road steam-engine had broken down itself.
There could be no doubt but it was a great and
dangerous nuisance, and that' the attention of the
Government authorities should be called to it.
(Hear, hear.)

Mr. SUTTON agreed with Mr. Brettingham, and
moved a resolution to the effect that the attention
of the Secretary of State be immediately called to
the subject of these road locomotives having caused
the upset of an omnibus, and to the great danger
and inconvenience they caused to the public, espe-
cially those travelling in other vehicles.
Mr. J. TAYLOR, in seconding the motion, said he
had seen as many as 12 trucks drawn along the
roads by one of these machines, and it was the duty
of the board to call the attention of the Secretary
of State to the matter.

The resolution was carried unanimously, and
ordered to be transmitted to the Secretary of State
forthwith.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
limited; nevertheless, the trade for both red and white
qualities ruled heavy. Good and fine qualities were dis-
posed of at Monday's decline; but inferior samples were
saleable only at lower currencies.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. For al]
descrtptions the demand was very inactive, at quits Mon-
day's decline of is to 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain attracted very little attention.
and in some instances, prices were somewhat easier.

The inquiry for barley„ as very limited, yet no change
took place in its value.

Fine malt sold steadily, at full quotations; but inferior
kinds moved off slowly.
Oats were dull, and 6d per quarter cheaper than on
Monday.

Beans and peas were in limited request, at late rates.
All kinds of flour were much neglected, and prices had a
drooping tendency.
