The LORD CHANCELLOR took hts seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a peti-
tion from the civil servants of the Crown, employed
in the Registry and Record-office at Seaham, praying for

Lord VIVIAN presented petitions to a similar effect.

THE OPIUM TRADE.

In answer to a question from the Earl of SHAFTES-
BURY,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, in conse-
quence of what had passed In this house last session he
had communicated with his honourable friend the
President of the Board of Control, with respect
to the legality of the traffic in opium. (Hear, hear.)
Immediately after the termination of the elections he had
drawn up a statement setting forth all the facts of the
case to be submitted to the law officers of the Crown.
The case had been submitted to the Hon. Court of
Directors of the East India Company, to ascertain
whether, according to their views, the facts had
been correctly stated. He expected, in the course
of a few days, to receive the document, when it
would be laid before the law officers, and their lordships
would be made acquainted with the result.

for 25 years. The object is to carry the line, which has
already been laid to Sardinia, to Malta and Corfu, where
a communication will ultimately be effected with the
Euphrates line to India. Its length will be about 700
nautical miles, and a contract has been made for its
completion by October next, the manufacturers taking
all the risk of laying it down. From the number of ves-
sels touching at Malta a large revenue is especially con-
templated from that port. The tariff rates will be fixed
with the consent of the Government, and are not to be
liable to reduction, except when the prt,fits of the com-
pany shall exceed 12 per cent. Mr. Samuel Gurney is
the chairman, Messrs. Hankey are the bankers, and
Messrs. Mullens, Marshall, And Daniell the brokers.

LITERATURE.

A Treatise On the Cure of Stammering. By James
Hunt, Ph. D. Third Edition. Longman and

Company.

Recently we had occasion to comment upon the
issue of a " second edition" of this remarkable and
authoritative Treatise upon Stammering. ,Recently,
observe—and already a " third" has made its ap-
pearance. " Another and another yet [literally,
in both senses of the word] succeeds !" We are not
in any way surprised at the circumstance. It is
so, because it ought to be so—for there can be very
little doubt nowadays about the accuracy of the
theory (the really exquisite and certainly in its
effects the truly beneficent theory) propounded
originally some years back by the late inge-
nious Thomas Hunt. The life of that prac-
tical philanthropist is here related by his
son as a fitting preamble to the theory of which
that life was happily elucidative. It should be ob-
served that the present edition of the "Treatise,"
by James Hunt, has ben " thoroughly revised,"
and that, beyond the mere fact of its revision, it
has reJeived " many imp irtant additions." It will
le-d, in due course of time, to a " fourth edition,'
fur the work is altogether without a competitor.
It is the authority, th recognised authority, upon
the subject of which it treats, that of balbuties or
pselliamos, or otherwise Stammering,

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY U, 1857.

It really apppears to be entirely forgotten,
across the water, Who this Grand Duke Cox-
STANTINE actually is ! Let its at least not be
equally oblivious. Let it not be forgotten, at
any rate, on this side of the Channel, that the
man now making the tour of Western Europe, in
the midst of so much indecorous adulation, is the
very man to whom the Allies are chiefly indebted
for the recent loss of about 100,000 lives, and
about 100,000,0001. sterling. To him, prin-
cipally, among all men now living, England and
France owe the main part of the horrors of the
'ate sanguinary conflict in Crim-Tartary. To his
warlike genius, to his lawless ambition, to his lust
of empire, and, above all things, to his resolute
and indomitable determination, sooner or later, to
bring within the sweep of the Russian Sceptre
the fair and beautiful city of Constantinople !
These are not truths discovered to-day or yester-
day. They are facts that have long been noto-
rious. But at the same time they are facts appa-
rently at the present moment lost altogether to
the general remembrance. Neither should they
have been dragged at this instant into the
noonday light of the popular recollection—but that
the Very personage whose character they serve to
illustrate is now being feted wherever he appears
in his wanderings through Western Europe, as
though he were really and truly one of the most
beneficent benefactors of its population ! In-
stead of being—as he is--one of the most deadly
and relentless enemies of that particular secbion
of the Great Human Family I Had the Arch-
duke CONSTANTINE been received within the
boundaries of the dominions of the Allies with
any decent show of equanimity, with any evi-
dence, however small, of a sense as to Who he was
on the part of those who welcomed him-_„
might have been disposed in Courtesy, even be
it said in Pity, to refrain from pointing thus an
Index-finger at his Antecedents. Silence any
longer, however, upon this subject would, we
conceive, be nothing less than culpable, under
existing circumstances. The Arch-foe of the
Allies being welcomed as only the Truest Friend
ought in reason to be welcomed, we can-
not in the midst of this hubbub of Fla`-
tory, remain indifferent or dumb specta-
tors. To hold our peace were to consent to
a disgraceful complicity. More especially now,
at the present moment, when the Arch-Duke

made mantles, Visttes, Sorties des Hal, and French Sha is are of
their own manufacture. Their house in I ,dia despatches regularly

SWEDEN.

The financial committee of the Swedish Diet,
after having been employed three months in exa-
mining the projected railway network, has at
length given a favourable reply to the royal propo-
sition., and their definitive aceeptance by the Four
Chambers is now thought not to admit of any
doubt. The Government has, in anticipation of
this result, prepared the miller des charges stipu-
lating the conditions on which it will accept offers
of foreign companies who may wish to participate
in the various loans which are to be contracted, in
order to meet the expenses of construction. The
first loan, which will in preference be offered to
English or French capitalists, remains provisionally
fixed at 12 millions of rixbanck thalers ; the two
others, each of 15 millions, will follow ; and thus
form a total capital of 40 millions to be paid by the
subscribers.

HUNTINGDON ELECTION.

The members of the committee appointed to try the
merits of the petition against the sitting member were
called to the tab!e and sworn.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

The SPEAKER read a letter from the solicitor of Mr.
Locke, one of the members of the committee, stating
that he was at present at Aix-la-Chapelle for the benefit
of his he Atb, and under the circumstances he begged to
be excused from attending on this committee.
Mr. BASS bore testimony to the correctness of this
statement.

After a short discussion, the hon. member was excused
from attending.

BERWICK ELECTION PETITION.
The SPEAKER read a letter from the agents of the
petitioners against the sitting members, stating that it
was not intended to proceed with the petition.

SAVINGS BANK BILL.

Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
if, considering the advanced period •f the session, and
the fact of their being 30 amendments to the Savings
Banks Bill on the notice paper, he would consent to
withdraw that measure, and refer the whole subject to
a select committee I

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he did not, consider the state of pubic business
would permit hi 3 bringing on the Savings Bank Bill this
sess ion.

The bill, at a subsequent period, was withdrawn.
CAVALRY FOR INDIA.
Capt. VIVIAN asked the Under Secretary for War
whether it was true that the order to send additional
cavalry from this country, on account of the news which
was brought by the last mail from India, bad been re-
scinded or suspended?
Sir J. RA.MSDEN said that two regiments of cavalry
had been for some time under orders for India. A third
regiment was afterw.xds ordered for India, but that
order had been rece fitly suspended.

CRIMINAL LUNATICS.
Mr. J. EWART asked the Secretary of State for the
He me department, whether it was the intention of the
Government to establish asylums to be exclusively de-
voted to the confinement of criminal lunatics?
Sir G. GREY sp'd it was, and reminded the hon.
member that a vote had been taken this session for the
purchase of a site for that purpose.

GREAT YARMOUTH HAVEN.
Mr. WATKIN allied the Secretary to the Treasury
if the attention of Government has been directed to the
importance and facility of making Great Yarmouth
Haven a harbour of refuge ; and whether he was pre-
pared to order evidence to be taken and a report to be
made on the subject, and to lay such report before the
committee on harbours of refuge ?
Mr. WILSON said that the committee now sitting
would, no doubt, take evidence on that part of the
coast as well as the other, but he was not aware that it
was the intention of the committee to order its inspection,

REFORM OF THE LITURGY.
Mr. WALPOLE asked Lord R. Grosvenor if be in-
tended to proceed to-morrow week with his motion rela-
tive to a reform of the liturgy I
Lord R. GROSVENOR said that, in consequence of
the misconception relative to the scope and purport of
his motion, he should be obliged to bring it o❑ on the
28th. Should the motion meet with opposition, be
should not press the house to a division, but postpone
its further proceeding, in order to bring it forward at a
more convenient season next session.

The LORD ADVOCATE said that he would to-
morrow state what course he would take is reference to
this bill.

SPAIN.

In the Spanish SenateaniChamber of Deputies
on the 16th, the royal decree closing the session was
read, and the members of both immediately dis-
p,Tsed with cries of "Ling live the Queen." In
the Chamber of Deputies, the President
.of the
Council, before reading the decree, said that the
Queen felt regret at not being able to close the
session in person, but that her Majesty was grate-
ful for the patriotism and high qualities which
the Chamber had manifested. The Gazette
announces that the " binds of Vapid ils,"
which hid appeard in the provinces of J.ien and
Seville, having been dissolved, and " no mem-
ber of these bands" being now to be found
in tl'e latter province, or in the Sierra Morena,
or the Serrania de Ronda, the troops and Civil
Guard, who were sent in pursuit of them, had re-
ceived orders to return to their respecive quarters.
The Gazette then enumerates the various executions
win k ha 1 t4ken place, and adds :—" Judicial pro-
ceedings against the persons made prisoners, are
being clamed on with the greatest activity, and the
terrible, but salutary, vigour of the law will fall on
the guilty !" Some of the persons arrested at
Maltid l,ad been set at liberty. It was thought
that the Cortes would not meet before the middle
of October. In the seirhern provinces the heat
was extraordinafily great, and, in consequence a
far greater number of people than usual had flocked
to the seaports. Accounts from Melilla of the Ist
say that the Mors had again commenced acts of
hosiillty against the Spanish garrison, firing •a
Soldiers, throwing stones, uttering insulting threats
and gestures, etc. ; they also declared that though
the Emperor of Morocco wished for peace, they
wanted war.
London, England, 1857-07-21

SARDINIA.

The legislative session of the Piedmontese Cham-
bers was closed on the 16th. On this subject the
Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th says :
" The legislative session, opened on the 27th of
January, and closed yesterday, leaves an agreeable
and lasting impres-ion on account of theimportance
of the questions treated, the utility of the measures
adopted, and the interest of the discussions. This
s ssion affords a brilliant proof of the progress made
by our country in a shirt space of time in the prac-
tice of representative institutions. The laws for
the fortifications of Alessaticlria, the transfer of the
naval arsenal to La Spezia, and the new law on
military conscription, have provided for the
organisation of the national forces and defences.
The law which abolishes the usury laws is a
new step in economical science. The laws on
public instruction, on ground rents, on the reform
of prisons, and many others, have consecrated im-
p9rtant improvements in public administration.
We will conclude with mentioning the law for the
Li.4urian railroad, extending from the frontier line
of the Var to that of Modena, and the law for the
perforation of Mount Cenis, a co'ossal project,
which, as an English paper has happily expre-sed
it, is worthy of ancient Rome and modern Eng-
land."

Two CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH.—Mr. C. J.
Carttar, coroner for West Kent, held an inquest on
Saturday afternoon at Cudham, near Gravesend, on the
bodies of Arthur and Madeline Smith, aged respectively
three years and three months, who were accidentally
burnt to death in the above village on the preceding
Thursday. From the evidence adduced, it appeared
that the parents of the deceased are poor people, and
being engaged in agricultural pulpits, had left them in
care of an elder brother, aged Ave years. During the
absence of the parents the house was discovered on fire,
the elder boy alone escaping, and the deceased being
both burnt almost to a cinder. The fire its supposed
to have been occasioned by the children playing with
lucifet matches. The jury returned a verdict of "
dental Death,"

PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.

DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON.
(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon Lord Palmerston received at his
residence, Cambridge House, Piccadilly, the deputation
of Liberal members appointed at a recent meet-
ing of that body held at the King's Arms,
Palace-yard, to take into consideration the rejec-
tion by the House of Lords of the Parliamentary Oaths
Bill, introduced into the House of Commons by his lord-
ship, and approved of by a large majority of that house.
Notwithstanding there was a day sitting of the House of
Commons', and subjects of importance were on the paper,
the attendance was very numerous.

At the appointed hour for the assembling of the de
putation at Cambridge House our reporter attended, as
is u,ual on these occasions, and applied for admission,
but it was met by the door-keeper with a stern refusal,
curtly adding, that he dLd so by order of Lord Pal-
merston.

In this instance the public has not lost anything by
the exclusion of reporters, because we shall be enabled
in our late edition to give a report of the adjourned
meeting, to be held this afternoon, at the King's Arms,
Palace-yard, when the chairman will report Lord Pal-
merston's answer to the meeting.

PORTUGAL.

The steamer Minho has, at-lived at Liverpool,
with Lisbon dates of the 14th inst. The only
foreign vessel of war in the Tagus was the French
steamer La Bourdonnaye, on her way to the West
Indies.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tamar
arrived at Lisbon on the morning of the 13th,
landed mails, and proceeded on to Rio de Janeiro
on the afternoon o, the same day.
The stock market was dull and prices were look-
ing down, but with no decided alteration. They
were quoted as follows :—Three per Cent. Regis-
tered, 47 to 474 ; Coupons, 461 to 4 ; Deferred,
281 to 29 Bonk of Portugal Shares, Bto 9 per
cent, premium.
The exchange on London was still looking up
and some transactions had been effected at 541 fur
three months' date.

The Cortes were closed on the 11th inst., by His
Majesty Pedro V.
Af er complying with the usual formalities, his
Majesty read his speech, in which ha thanked the
membeis for their zeal and attention, as also for
putting at the disposal of the Government the
means for carrying out measures of public utility,
and specified as the most important, and as
exercising the most direct influence in developing
prOdic prosperity, the project for uniting Oporto
with Lisbon by means of railway communication.
He lamented that shortness of time prevented their
adopting any plan of public instruction, thai.ked
them for the liberal allovvanc3 granted to his future
Queen, and concluded by expressing his satisfaction
at the amic tble relations which existed with the
Allied Powers, the state of internal peace of the
country, and the prospect of a better harvest for
the present year.

A letter from Bucharest of the 10th in the
Bourse Gazette of Berlin says :—" We have had a
foretaste of the election for the Divans in the mu-
nicipal elections, which has ju-t terminated to the
advantage of the Government party or the mode-
rate Liberals. nines Demetrus Ghika and M.
Papa obtained the majority of votes for the presi-
dency of the municipality, but as the former pre-
ferred keeping his post of prefect of police, M.
Papa was nominated president. Both parties put
forth all their strength in the strnggle."

A Vienna letter in the Augsburg Gazette says :
" A resolution of the Diet of the Empire of the 7th
Sept. 1848, decided that territorial property should
be relieved, on payment of an indemnity, from all
land-charges offeudal origin with which it was loaded.
This resolution was confirmed by an Imperial de-
cree of the 25th Sept., 1850, and a commission was
appointed to settle all the points of detail specified
in the decrees. This commission has just completed
its labours. The indemnity is to be paid in mort-
gage bonds, which have been issued to the extent
of 560 millions of florins, of which 207 millions are
f"r the empire property, so called, and 353 for
Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, and Gallicia."

Stockholm journals state that the health of the
King of Sweden has so greatly improved that it
was believed that his Majesty would renounce
going to Soroe for sea bathing.
London, England, 1857-07-21

THE RUSSIAN TARIFF.

In answer to a question from Mr. NEWDEGATE,
Lord PALMERSTON said that he had received a
communication from Lord Wodehouse, stating that the
revised Russian tariff was published in the Russian
language. It was the intention of the
Russian Government to publish a translation of it in
the French language, and as soon as it was issued he
(Lord Wodehouse) would transmit a copy of it to this
country.

HOPS.

Our attention has been called to certain discrepancies
which have lately appeared in reference to the state of the
hop trade. It is but natural that every one should endea-
vour to make the largest amount of profit out of any corn-
me:iity he may have to dispose of; but, when we find
statements abroad baring the stamp of untruth, every
journalist sho ld be careful how he adopts opinions which
reflect great discredit upon certain parties. For our parte
• we are not inclined to give currency to statements which
we know to be false ; and, though holders of hops
may trust in a short crop and in higher prices,
we decline to meet their views otherwise than on fair
pounds. The state of the market at this moment is this:
—Thera is every prospect of a good supply of new hops—
the quantity of last growth on hand is still very extensive
—and prices are likely to rule low. Why, then, we ask,
should we assist to produce excitement in the market,
when in fact no grounds exist fcr assuming that we shall
have hops at 101. per cwt. ? Much more might be written
on this subject, but we refrain from enlarging upon it for
the present.

Holders do not press sales.
Suumt.- -The demand for home consumption is by no
means active, but for exportation there has been a moderate
enquiry, at about former rates. In the IWined Market
business is very dull, and to effect lower prioes must be
submitted to. . _ _

COFFEE.—There is very little business doing, and prices,
although steady at present, are 'expected to rate rather
easier.
RlCE—Only small quantities have been offered, previous
values, in most instances, leaving been barely supported.
Rum—The market is very inactive, and prices generally
rule Lather easier.

Loss OF Two LIVES AT A FIRE —We regret to state
that yesterday two of the sufferers by the late fire in
Charles.streer, Hatton-garden, expired in St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. It appears that the premise, in which
the fire commenced wore in the occupation of firs. M.
A. James, a stationer and tobacconist, and at the time
of the outbreak a great many persons were in the upper
part of the house, who upon being alarmed succeeded
(with the exception of a y ,ung female named Caroline
Pipe, who had gone simply to get a pair of scissors)
in getting clear out of the house, but the smoke arising
from the basement was so dense that the unfortunate
female was unable to descend the stairs, when a man
named Timothy Tooking, with the most praiseworthy
motives, ran and fetched the Royal Society's escape be-
fore the men came on duty, and, rait.ing the machine,
endeavoured to get the poor girl out. In so trying he
slipped on one side of the e,cape, and both fat to the
ground, a distance of over fifty feet. They were at once
taken to the hospital, where everything that humanity
or surgical skill could devise was done fir them, but they i
expired yesterday morning from the effects of the nju
rieB received. An it queet was held upon the two b sties
this day, when a ver,Jict of accidental death was returned
in each case.
"The corn crops," says the Coui'riee' de Madrid,
"are most luxuriant in every part of Spain, and of ex-
traordinary richness in the provinces of Est,ratuadura,
Andalusia, Murcia, Aragon, and OW . "
One of the wooden brldges on the railway between
St. Petersburg and Moscow was a few days back acci-
dentally burnt down. This disaster has caused great
inconvenience in the communications between the two

places.

THE NEW MEM ELECTIONL—Lord John Browne's
address to the electors of Mayo has been issued. His
Lordship promises to give an independent support to
the present Government so long as it retains the confi-
dence of the country. This means anything or nothing.
The Nation announces that Mr. Tristram Kennedy, the
rejected of Louth at the last election, goes down to
Mayo under the direct auspices of the archiepiscopal
returning officer for the county, and that, his Protes-
tantism notwithstanding, be will be supported by the
priests in a body. Mr. P. Blake, Q.C., has waived his
pretensions to the borough of Galway, and has, it is
said, resigned in favour of $i Thomas Rediultat.
