STAMP DUTIES BILL.

In reply to a, question from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY,
as to whether or not the Chancellor of the Exchequer
was disposed to postpone the Stamp Duties Bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought there was no necessity for any further concilia-
tion, with parties affected by this Bill, because the
amended Bill was the result of conference and corre•

sponclence with a great number of bankers, merchants,

and others, most -competent to understand' its bearing
and eff:cts. He was not, therefore, disposed to vary the,
arrangement for proceeding with the Bill on Monday.
Mr. MULLINGS complained that there were several
omissions in the Bill and objections to the clauses, which
would seriously affect many persons.
MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES.
In reply to a question from Mr. HUME,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
miscellaneous estimates would be laid on the table of the
House in a few days.
MR. ANSTEY AND MR. SMITH O'BRIEN.
Mr. Abi STE Y complained of certain letters written to
him by Mr. Smith O'Brien on private business, since his
expatriation, having been opened by Sir Wm. Denison,
and gave notice that he should, on Tuesday next, move
a resolution on the subject, the purport of which would
be, that the matter was one calling for the severest
scrutiny on the part of the Rouse.
ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Mr. HUME moved for an account of the charge tor the
purchase, repair, and outfit of the iessels now fitting for
the Arctic expedition; and also a statement of all sums'
due or claimed by private builders for the building and
alterations of the Megmera, Greenock, and Simoom, and
any other sums claimed for iron steam-ships for her Ma-
jesty's navy, specifying the, names of the vessels and of
the builders, the price originally.agreed upon, the price
Charged by the said builders, the sums paid on account
by the Admiralty, and the balance now claimed.—

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SALARIES.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose and said he was now
about to propose the appointment of a Select Committee
to inquire into the salaries of offices held by Members of

.Varliament, and to consider the propriety of reducing
thew. There were various precedents for the appointment
of Committees for the purpose of inquiring into offices
held during the pleasure of the Crown by Members of
Parliament. In 1798 a Committee was appointed to in-
quire into many branches of the public service, and also,

in 1828, a 'Committee which took into its

- --
notice the propriety of reducing the military
expenditure. In November of 1830, Lord Al-
thorp proposed. the appointment of a Committee
to inquire into offices held during pleasure of the Crown,
and in doing so he declared that though the Government
were prepared to undertake any reduction which might
be deemed expedient, yet be thought it better that there
should be a Committee, composed of independent Mem-
bers, to inquire into the subject. The Committee
of 1848, which had been appointed to inquire into
the military expenditure, had also performed its
duties in a manner highly creditable to itself and
useful to the Government. He (Lord J. Russell) had

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Sir BENJAMIN HALL asked the Secretary of
State for the Home Department when the report from
the Board of Health would be presented, in order:that a
time may bo fixed for the second reading of Bills for
affording a better supply of water to the metropolis.
Sir GEORGE GREY thought the report would be
ready in about three weeks.

CUSTOMS DISMISSAL OF 11R1 WALKER.

Sir JOHN TYRELL wished to ask a question of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished to know
if the Right Hon. Gentleman had any objection to state
to the House, the reasons why Mr. Walker had been
dismissed from his post as solicitor to the Customs.
Mr. Walker, he understood, was a gentleman who had
obtained some reputation at the bar, and had long filled
the situation from which he had just been dismistel.
He wished to know also if this dismissal had been oc-
casioned by any desire for retrenchment, and what the
saving was which Government thus expected to make.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that Mr. Walker's retirement hal certainly been caused
by ad. sire for retrenchment. The Customs until lately
had had two collectors in London, one in Edinburgh, and
another in Dublin; and it had been thought that there
was certainly some room for retrenchment here, and that
for the future it was quite possible that two officers could
du the duty which tour had hitherto done. For this
reason it was that it had been thought fit that Mr.
Walker should retire; but there was not the slightest
imputation resting upon Mr. Walker's character, or the
least doubt (f his ability.
Sir JOHN TYRELL said that all the objects fur
which he had asked the question had bcea effected by
the liight Lion. Gentleman's answer.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The performance of I Puritani, which was to have
taken place at this theatre last evening, was postponed
in consequence of the indisposition of Signor Mario,
and IVorma was , substituted in its place.
Grisi was of course the Norma, and never
has even she herself surpassed her majestic
impersonation of the character of the Druid
priestess of last evening. The conception
which she has formed of the character belongs to
the loftiest order of poetry. The blending of mys-
tic inspirations with the feelings and the frailties
of humanity is so touching at once, and so true,
that, as we contemplate the magnificent pic-
ture we are carried, in spite of ourselves,
into- the past, and are made to realise a mode of
life and of religion with which we have nothing in
common. Madame Vera acquitted herself extremely
well in Adalgisa, and Signor Tamberlik sustained
the repulsive character of Pollio very creditably.
The tremulousness of voice, however, of which we
have already spoken, has not departed, and proved
again on this occasion extremely injurious to
his otherwise meritorious performance. Herr Formes,
in Oroveso, was truly great. It would be impos.
sible for the character to be more ably represented,,

THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.

The anniversary dinner of the Royal Free Hos-
pital took place last night at the London Tavern, and
it was attended by nearly three hundred of the
friends and subscribers to that truly benevolent in-
stitution.
The chair was taken by the Hon. E. H. Stanley,
M.P., who was supported by Mr. Greene, M.P., Mr.
Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Manners Sutton, M.P., the Rev.
Dr. Rice, the Rev. J. H. Fisk, the Rev. Dr. Benson,
Dr. Forbes Winslow, Dr. Heale, Mr. Goldsmith, and
others actively engaged in promoting the usefulness
of the hospital.
After the usual loyal and complimentary toasts had
been given, the Honourable Chairman, in an eloquent
speech, proposed the principal toast of the evening—
" Prosperity to the Royal Free Hospital," and he
drew an animated picture of the extent to which
the institution diffused its blessings among the really
destitute poor. He called special attention to the fact
that since the foundation of the charity, in February
1848, no fewer than 310,647 persons had partici-
pated in its benefits ' - and that whilst in the first year
only 926 patients had received its ministrations, that
number had increased to 28,190 in 1849, but in 1846
they amounted to 35,507. From the medical report
it appeared that 851 totally destitute persons had been
admitted into the wards.

After this toast had been duly honoured, Mr. ROE-
BUCK proposed the health of the Chairman, observing
that he looked upon him as the type of a class who,
having the means of enjoying life, thought it their
first duty to show their sympathy with the poor by
personally supporting institutions for their benefit.
He considered it one of the best signs of the times
that all classes, from the very highest, cordially united
in this object.
The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks for the
compliment paid to him, and proposed the health of
the President of the hospital, the Duke of Buccleuch.
A number of other toasts were afterwards given,
with the usual honours.
The donations announced during the evening
amounted to nearly 1,3001.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Frankfort, 16th instant :—" We learn that the Go-

ous pretences opposed the passage of the Baden
troops, who are to go to the Prussian garrisons. The
Senate of Frankfort supporlE the objections of these
two Governments. The Baden Ministry has sent an
envoy to Darmstadt, Cassel, and Frankfort to remove
this difficulty."

At the sittings of the College of Princes at Berlin
on the 15th the cred,lntials of M. MEYSENBOURG, re-
presentative of the Grand Duchy of Baden, were de-
livered in. The College then proceeded to other bu-
siness. The first question was the changing the
provisional arbitral federal tribunal into a tribunal for
the union, the decision on which was postponed. It
was then referred to the arbitrul tribunal to prepare a
new law as to the course of procedure in cases of high
treason against the union, and to fix the punishment
for such crime, the Council of Administrwion having
withdrawn the law on that subject passed by the Er-
furt Parliament. A committee was nominated to ex-
amine the note of the Government, containing its
reasons for refuting to send a member to the arbitral
tribunal. This latter committee is also to draw up
an answer to the Saxon declaration of the 25th of
May last.

GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Frankfort, 16th instant :—" We learn that the Go-
vernments of the two Hesses have on the most frivo-
ous pretences opposed the passage of the Baden
troops, who are to go to the Prussian garrisons. The
Senate of Frankfort supports the objections of these
two Governments. The Baden Ministry has sent an
envoy to Darmstadt, Cassel, and Frankfort to remove
this difficulty."
The Dresden journal announces that the KING
has commuted the penalty of death declared by the
court•martial against HBUBNER, BAKOUNIN, and
ROECKEL, into imprisonment for life in a fortress.
Bsicourini, as we have already announced, has been
given up to the Austrian Government, ROZCXEL has
been sent to Waldheim.

At the sittings of the College of Princes at Berlin
on the 15th the credentials of M. MEYSENBOURG, re-
presentative of the Grand Duchy of Baden, were de-
livered in. The College then proceeded to other bu-
siness. The first question was the changing the
provisional arbitral federal tribunal into a tribunal for
the union, the decision on which was postponed. It
was then referred to the arbitral tribunal to prepare a
new law as to the course of procedure in cases of high
treason against the union, and to fix the punishment
for such crime, the Council of Administration having
withdrawn the law on that subject passed by the Er-
furt Parliament. A committee was nominated to ex-
amine the note of the Government, containing its
reasons for refusing to send a member to the arbitral
tribunal. This latter committee is also to draw up
an answer to the Saxon declaration of the 25th of
May last.
The national Gazette of Berlin states that the ac-
counts received from Copenhagen are pacific, and that
although an army has marched to the frontiers it will
not cross it.

ITALY.

The responsible editor of the Costituzionale of
Florence was condemned on the 12th to a fortnight's
imprisonment and a fine of 200 f. for an article de-
clared to be offensive to religion, and relating to s
service which had been celebrated at Prato in honour
of the return of Pius IX.

The Concordia of the 15th gives the following ac-
count of the state of Rome :
" All the Roman youth have either emigrated, are
imprisoned, or under suspicion, and aro not allowed to
be abroad after sunset. The perquisitions are no longer
confined to men, women, and children, but extend to
cravats and hats. Yesterday a Frenchman's hat was
searched, and he had to walk home bareheaded. All
the letters of the English consul
(except official ones),
are also intercepted and examined."
Accounts from Naples of the 10th mention the
great joy expressed by King BODIDA at the passing
of the French Electoral Law. This pet of the Tories
boasts that the French fleet will drive Admiral
PARKER out of the Mediterranean; that Russia
will put down Lord PALMERSTON, send all English
subjects from the continent, and destroy every Consti-
tutional Government in Europe.

BELLE ASSEMBLEE.

The Belle Aesemblee,as usual, happily combines
" the grave and gay, the lively and severe." As
specimens of which different characteristics, we may
cite a very excellent article upon Southey, a sketch
of the history of music, a beautiful story entitled
"Trials," which effectively- inculcates a most valuable
lesson ; various tales and sketches, and an amusing
r.ccount cf the perplexities of an editor. Among the
poems is one from the accomplished editress, Mrs.
Crosland, "The Heart's Friend," which very beau-
tifully enumerates the
.various qualities • desirable in
such a relationship, and then mentions, as the price
requisite for obtaining such a trea3ure, " the struggle
to deserve it."
