FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
VIENNA, JULY 21.—The interview of Queen Victoria
with the King of Prussia at Coblentz, to which Prince Metter-
nich has received a special invitation, and at which the Prussian
Minister of Foreign Affairs will also be present, excites the
more attention because it is said that the Earl of Aberdeen
will accompany her Majesty. According to the reports which
seem the most depended on, the chief object of this meeting
will be the affairs of Switzerland, and the marriage of the
Queen of Spain. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent
has left us to-day and set out for Cobourg.
FRANKFORT, Jui.r..27.—Their Majesties the King and
Queen of Prussia.,are expected in this city from Berlin this
afternoon.
We learn from Breslau that several of the great Boman
Catholic nobility of Silesia intend to join the German Catho-
lic Church. Among them we find the names of the Duchess
of Sagan, and of Countess Hoverden and Schaffgotsch.
FRANKFORT, JULY I:B.—The King and Queen of Prussia
arrived here at half.past eight yesterday evening, on their way
to the Rhenish provinces, and left at three o'clock the.following
afternoon for Beberich.
COLOGNE, JULY 26.—Notwithstanding the many different
accounts respecting the festivities during the visit of the Queen
of England on the Rhine, we believe we may, with tolerable
certainty,.state the following particulars :—The Queen is ex-
pected between the Bth and the 15th of next month, with a suite
of above 100 persons. She will be received on the Prussian fron.
tiers by the Prince of Prussia, and, with the principal attendants,
conveyed in the RgyaV,earikiaVis, which will be ready on the
spot, to Aix-la-0044k, Wtietice she will proceed by special
train to Cologne, 'whereirtik-will,be received at the terminus by
their Majeties the King acid Queen.
It seems to be uncertain whether the Court will proceed the
same night to Stetzenfils or pass the night at Bruhl. Three
days are to be passed at Stotzenfils, (huh).- which excursions will
be made tothe beautiful environs ; on the second day the illus.
trious persons may, perhaps, go to Wiesbaden and Beberich on
the invitation of the Duke of Nassau. On the third day they
are to return to Cologne, whence the Queen of Great Britain
will proceed immediately to Coburg.

GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.—Yesterday morn-
ing the household troops, consisting of the Ist and 2d Regi-
ments of Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), the
4th Light Dragoons, the Ist and 3d battalion of the Grenadier
Guards, the Ist and 2d battalion of the Fusilier Guards, and a
brigade of guns of the Royal Horse Artillery, were reviewed
on the usual exercising ground in Hyde Park, by his Majesty
the King of the Netherlands, the Duke of Wellington, and a
number of General Officers. It was not positively known that
the review would take place until eight o'cloek, at which hoar
an orderly sergeant from each regiment attended at Apsley
House to receive the commands of the Duke of Wellington.
Shortly after ten o'clock the troops assembled on the
ground, and notwithstanding the unfavourable appear.
ante of the weather thousands of persons were present.
At half-past ten o'clock the troops took up the following posi-
tions :—The 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards and the Ist
battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards occupied the centre ;
the id battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards the left, and the Ist
battalion of the Grenadier Guards the right wing, flanked by
the cavalry, under the immediate command of General Lygon ;
on the extreme left was stationed the field battery. At a few
minutes before eleven the Duke of Wellington, attended by a
numerous and brilliant staff, arrived ; and, shortly afterwar.!l, .
his Majesty the King of the Net herlands. dressed in the uniform
of a British Field-Marshal, accompanied by Prince George of
Cambridge, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Colonel Baron Coehoorn,
:'^ tint 13ylandt, Hon. Captain A. Hood, and Viscount
Ha warden. His Excellency M I )(tile], ant: M. Bowl, occupied one
of her Majesty's carriage:, His Majesty was received with the
usual military honours, the artillery tiring a royal salute of 21
guns, and the bands of the several regiments playing the national
anthem. The illustrious visitor having rode round the line and
minutely inspected the appointments of the men, the troops
broke into subdivisions and m:,rthed past in slow and quick
time, after which they were wheeled into line and went
through the vat ions evolutions with the ut most precision. Ihe
formation of squares upon different positions was effected with
the greatest rapidity, and the. evolutions of the cavalry were
executed admirably, and appeared to give universal satisfac-
tion. His Majesty during the review conversed with several
of the general officers, and at the conclusion addressed the
commanding officer. A general salute then followed, and the
regiments were marched to their respective barracks.
COMING OF 'AGE OF EDWARD STILLINGFLEET CAY-
LEY, THE ELDEST SON Or E. S. CAYLEY, ESQ., M.P.—On
Wednesday last this event was celebrated with much festivity
at Wydale, by nearly 200 of the farm and cottage tenants of
the estate in Snainton, Brompton, and Troutsdale, and their
wives, partaking of a most plentiful and sumptuous dinner,
tea,- and supper. The party was kept up with great glee, be-
tween music, dancing, and singing, to a very late hour of the
evening, or rather morning ; and on Thursday evening the
school children of the above villagers were also entertained with
tea and a beautiful display of fireworks.— Yorkshire Gazette,

Until near six o'clock, the attention of a very crowded 1'00!
was wholly occupied in settling cn the Goodwood raid, fA
which, owing to the number of events, and the nnprecedenw
briskness of speculation, the accounts were exceedingly hell;
It is a gratifying proof of the healthy state of the ring

brilliant meeting passed off satisfactorily. The Leger

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
I do not think even the losers at Goodwood last
complain of their losses, so superabundant and BILK.;

serves to be designated as courtly it is the one tlrb;
which I am now commenting, seeing it is held inZri,

nisters, and is, moreover, honoured with the preseolo
a powerful Monarch, who travelled a distance of og
miles merely for the pleasure of witnessing the /204'

of Lord George Bentinck, are improvements projej

In the Welter Stakes Captain Percy Williams, t

difficulty that he receded in the betting for the St. Ie

The result of the Gratwicke was likewise attrablel.oo
to the same head and hand which made the pie j
race so exciting. The Monarch's defeat, looko

Mr. HAWES expressed his very high appreciation of the
feeling in which the present meeting had originated, Enter-
ing into political life, he had necessarily abandoned the active
commercial pursuits in which he had been engaged ; but it was
a source of the highest gratification to him that in this new
sphere he had been fortunate enough to secure the approbation
of the merchants and traders of the city of London. For the
mark of that approbation just bestowed upon him he returned
his warm thanks.

ALTERATION IN THE CAMBRIDGE DAT MAIL.—
The opening of the railway has brought a change in the times
of arrival and departure of the day mail. Instead of being dis-
patched as heretofore at half past eleven in the morning, it is
now sent by the quarter before ten o'clock train, and the box
for letters closes at a quarter af er nine. This is, as we think,
a change greatly for the worse, and we certainly cannot under-
stand the logic which would persuade us that when we travel
twice as fast as we used to do, we should start two hours sooner
on a journey of sixty miles. The arrival is better timed ; we
have our letters now at half-past tw•, instead of at half-past
four —Cambridge Chronicle.

Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure.

Their Lordships resumed at Five o'clock.
The Removal of Paupers Bill went through Com
mittee.

The Borough and Watch Rates Bill went through
Committee.
GAMING AND WAGERS' BILL.
The Commons' amendments to this Bill were read and
agreed to.

The petition was from Dr. Flinn, and prayed for an assi-
milation in the medical treatment of the lunatics of Ire-
land to those of England. He cordially agreed with the
prayer of the petition, -and bore testimony to the high
character of Dr. Flinn, the petitioner, who was only,
actuated by a desire to promote the welfare of this un-
fortunate class of persons.
THE BRAZILIAN PIRATES.

The NOBLE EA BL said he would also put a question to
his Noble Friend opposite, respecting a sentence passed
at Exeter, on seven foreigners committed at the Assizes
there for piracy and murder. Ile understood that great
doubts existed in the minds of legal men respecting the
legality of the sentence. Ile further understood that a
protest against the sentence had been made by the
Brazilian Government. The question he wished to put
was whether her Majesty's Government was fully satin•
fled of the legality of the sentence, with reference to the
question of international law, and if not, whether it
would not be better to exercise the prerogative of the
Crown for the purpose of suspending the execution of
the sentence ?
Lord STANLEY said he could not but concur with
the Noble Lord, that it was desirable there should be no
doubt of the legality of the sentence. Ile had communi-
cated with the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment on the subject, and had been informed that Baron
Platt, who tried the men, had assented to the suspension
of the sentence until the decision of the fifteen judges
was known on the subject.
COUNTY RATES BILL.

The County Rates Bill was then read a third time.
PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.
The Duke of RICHMOND moved the re-committal of
the Portsmouth Atmospheric line of railway.
The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON opposed the
motion.

The Earl of DEVON supported the amendment.
Lord LOVELACE opposed it. He did not think that
after this Bill had been two months before the other
House of Parliament—after an enormous sum of money
had been expended in bringing it forward—he did not
think it right at this time to come forward with the
amendment of the noble Dulte's, and to re 'ommit the
Bill, which would have exactly the effect of throwing it
back to another session.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that he regretted as
much as the Noble Lord opposite that ea, lier notice had
not been taken of this Bill, but when errors had been
committed by Members of that House when sitting on
Committees, he thought that the House was bound to
rectify them. Now the question was, was any error
committed by the Committee upon the Portsmouth Bill?
He thought that there had bcen. He thought they had
not taken into consideration the competing lines; and
why had they not done so? Because, as they stated
themselves, a portion of the line seemed to be common
to both companies, and they must necessarily have
amalgamated before such a state of things could possibly
be. They therefore went on the supposition that the
parties must have been received. Ile (Lord Wicklow)
maintained that the fact that for a portion of the line
the one party was identical with the other did not nega-
tive the right of entering as a competing line. He con-
tended therefore that the Bill should be recommitted,
inasmuch as the Committee had contravened the printed
instructions which ought to have guided them.
The Earl of HARD WICKE, as chairman of the Com-
mittee appointed on the Bill, said that, to the best of
their abliity, they had examined into the merits of the
Bills laid before them on the table. He would venture
to call their Lordships' attention to some of the clauses
in the Bill, with the view of showing the opposing parties
had, to a certain degree at least, amalgamated. He had
no doubt that, finding that the decision of the Committee
was adverse to the claims set up, the adverse party had,
by the advise of counsel, adopted this method with the
view of overturning that decision. He should first direct
their Lordships' attention t ) the 38th clause in the Bill,
which recognised the expediency of a junction at Godal-
ming. If the opposing party objected, why did they not
refuse this joint station?
The Earl of DEVON—What paper is that you re-
fer to ?

The Earl of HARDWICKE—He was looking at the
Bill itself. Then, if their Lordships would examine the
37th clause, they would find an arrangement for the
fares of passengers. Why did they not take their stand
on these fares, which would have been a fair and tangible
opposition? Then, in the 36th and 28th clauses, it was
the same, but he had proved enough. Their Lordships
would thus see that certain clauses in the Bill justified
the Committee in their decision. But if their Lordships
were of opinion that they had gone into error, he hoped
that, for the guidance of future Committees, they would
take care that the standing orders be sufficiently expla-
natory.

Loi:d BEAUMONT said, that though there had been
originally two competing lines, yet one of these bad been
evidently withdrawn, and, therefore, if they adopted the
motion of the Noble Duke (the Duke of Richmond),
they would be, instead of confirming the standing
orders, establishing a gross absurdity, by allowing parties
to appear both in the character of promoters and oppo-
sers of the same measures. He wished to say one other
word. If they did not pass this Bill, he thought the
House was bound to take measures to facilitate its passing
at some later period this session.

Lord REDESDALE said, that as the person who had
moved that the evidence on this Bill be printed, he felt
it necessary to call their Lordship? attention to what
had passed on the last occasion, when the Noble Duke
had moved the recommittal of this Bill. The motion at
that period seemed to convey a slur upon the Committee,
and it was with the wish that they might have that on
which to found a decision, that he had moved that the
evidence be printed. He thought that while the House
should repose confidence in their Commitcees, they should,
at the same time, take especial care that the rights of in-
dividuals did not suffer by their decisions. He would
support the motion of the Noble Duke.

The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON explained.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the Bill
should be suspended until the allegations contained in it
should be examined into.

The Earl of HAnDINGTON wished to know
whether the petitioning parties had made any compro
mice or not ?

The Duke of RICHMOND denied that any compro-
mise whatever had been made.

The Duke of GRAFTON defended the course taken
by the Committee, and said he thought that the opposi-
tion now made by the Noble Duke should have been
made on the first or second reading of the Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND replied, and the House
divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment l3
Against it ll
Majority
The amendment was carried.
The Duke of RICHMOND moved that a Committee
be named by their Lordships.
The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON reminded the
Noble Duke that one most material party in the ques-
tion was out of the country.
After some desultory conversation, in which Lord
Redesdale, the Marquis of Northampton, and Lord Mont-
eagle took part, the motion was withdrawn.
LONDON AND YORK BILL.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a pe-
tition from certain parties, complaining that more than
half a million of the capital purported to be subscribed
for on the London and York line, had been fraudulently
and fictitiously subscribed. The Noble Marquis hoped
that their Lordships, who had proved themselves so sen-
sitive on the peculiarities of other bills, would institute
a rieid inquiry into these alleged frauds.
VALUATION OF LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
Lord STANLEY moved the second reading of this
bill.

Lord MONTEAGLE said he never rose with a
greater sense of responsibility in expressing his con-
viction that no more rash course could be taken than the
passing such a Bill under such circumstances a
Bill affecting the relations of Ireland, affecting
the stability of, her social prosperity, and the
character and existence of the British Government. It
was a measure which threatened to overthrow the tenure
of property, to change the entire principle of subdividing
land, valuing the soil, and the arrangement of all taxa-
tion. They now stood upon the 4th day of August, in
the presence of five Members, four of whom were Peers
of Ireland, the remaining Peers of England, and a Bill
like this was brought forward, and forced upon the
House, to commit the grossest injustice upon Ireland,
which the Government would not have dared to have
proposed for England. If he could not appeal to the
wisdom of the Government he could appeal to their com-
passion, and implore them to reconsider their measure,
a measure which, he repeated, they would not dare in-
troduce for any metropolitan parish of this country.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS said that to listen to the
speech of the Noble Lord, one would imagine that this
Bill was a crude emanation from the Government ;
but it must be remembered that a report was submitted
from a Committee of the House of Commons, in the
last session of Parliament, before whom the most able
witnesses were examined, and among other Mr. Griffiths,
and it was also to be remembered that the Bill had been
amended in its passage through the House of Commons.
He would venture to say that a majority of the Irish
people, and of the Irish repi esentatives, were in favour
of the measure. The moment this Bill would come into
operation, the heartburnings and the jealousies which at
present existed on the subject of valuation for poor-rates
and other taxes would be removed ; for the high cha-
racter of Mr. Griffiths as a valuator would place the
operations of the Bill above suspicion. He had no wish
to limit the right of Noble Lords to express an opinion
upon any Bill haviug reference to the country with
which they were immediately connected, but he did
certainly think it hard that on a Bill which bad reoeived
the sanction of the House of Commons, any Noble Lord
should turn round and rate the Government for
what he might esteem the evils of the Bill. He would
repeat that the ratepayers of Ireland would find the
Bill a great benefit, and he was sure that his Noble
Friend behind him (Lord Stanley) would be prepared
in Committee to defend—and defend successfully—the
provisions of the Bill.
The Earl of WICKLOW thought that the House
ought to have time to consider an important Bill of this
kind, for it was a most unprecedented thing ina Minister
of the Crown to move the second reading of such a plea-
s:ire on the same day that the papers relating to it were
laid upon the table. It had been stated that the leading
Irish Members were,in favour of the measure. This was
somewhat different from the representations he had seen
in the daily papers. There it bad been represented that
a most determined stand had I): en made against the prin-
ciple of the Bill. He wished to know how the Govern-
ment could reconcile it to their consciences to pass this
measure without consulting the opinions of the few Irish
Members who were in that House?
Lord STANLEY said that he brought forward this
measure with a full sense of the inconvenience of its
being brought on at this period of the session. lle felt
it was inconvenient in bringing it forward at this late
period of the session. His Noble Friend said that he
had not had time to hear the objections which might be
made by Noble Lords, but the Noble Lord must know
that they had an opportunity now of stating their opt:

'lions. A great objection existed against postponing it
till next session, as it would have to come before the
House of Cotainons again. That would be very inju
rious as they would be postponing the amendment of the
existing system, which was on all sides alleged to be a
bad system. The only objection he had heard made by
Irish Gentlemen wa the postponement. As their Lord-
ships were not generally in favour of this Bill, he would
not, at this period of the session, press the further pro-
gress of the Bill.
After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE
and Lerd MONTEAGLE,
The motion was withdrawn.
on the motion of a NOBLE RD, the Commons'
amendments to the Slave-trade ( TO Bill were con-
sidered and agreed to.
Their Lordships then adjourned Wlalf-pa? Ten.
