ENGLAND.
LONDON, Saturday, June 30 a. m.
good deal of gossip is aaoat to-day respecting
the intention of the government with regard TO the
measures which they propose to force through par
Lament before the prorogation. That many of the
bills which they have brought forward will be
dropped, no secret Is made. Indeed, il would APP
pear as if they had only been brought forward as a
cloak, and for time, to satisfy the popular de-
mand and so soon as the peoples attention was
diverted therefrom, they were thrown up Among
these are the Ecclesiastical Courts and the Irish
Registration Bills. The Oaths Bill, whereby Baron
Rothschild could take his seat for the city of Lon
don, is not certain of being carried In the Lords
In certain influential quarters it is limited this morn
ing that SO thoroughly disguised are Lord John
Russells constituents with his conduct In this mat
ter that ne WILL in all probability, be ousted from
the representation of London.
As far as can learn, the government have not
yet decided what they are going to do with the
Irish State prisoners. An authority-a gentleman
connected with the Home Ofice-informed me, late
last night that the probabilities are that the con-
vcts viii be sent to Spike Island, and there detained
till her Majesty will be advised to grant full and
complete pardon for what, after all, appears to be
but silly affair, provoked and carried on by set
of silly but designing police in the hope of obtain
ing promotion and pecuniary reward.
LONDON, June 2-Noon.
1t is talked of in the neighborhood of Westmn-
ster Hall, this morning, that the government have
resolved, in consequence of the continued indispo-
siton of the Lord Chancellor to put the great seal
in commission. 1t is said that the commissioners
names will be Lord Campbell, Baron Rofe, and the
Solicitor General.
The letter purporting to be addressed by Mr..
George Hudson to the shareholders of the Eastern
Counties Railway is declared by that gentleman to
be hoax.
The new Ambassador from the Austrian Court
has arrived in London.
The report of the Russian Intervention by sea in
the cause of Denmark by the Russian fleet, was
contradicted yesterday authortatvely, and in con-
sequence slight advance took place in the funds.
IRELAND.
The terrible case Of cannbalism, described in the
telegraph report in our paper of Saturday, took
place, it seems, so long ago as last November. And
it was only of intended cannibalism after all
Lord John Russell gave the official account of it as
follows
1t appears that it occurred in the Clifden Union,
and that laborer who at the time in constant
employment, being employed by farmer in the
neghborhood, found a dead body cast upon the
shore This person, should say is represented
to have been man Of singular voracious appetite,
but not at the time suffering from distress himself,
being have said in the receipt of regular wages.
1t is true, that two of his sisters receiving re-
lief, buthe regularly employed at regular wages.
When he found the body, he proceeded to cut out
apart of IT, and was about to eat it, when some OF
the neghbors remarked, that it was the trunk of a
human being. He said that he was not aware OF
that and it does not appear that he ate any portion
of the flesh, whatever his original intention might
have been.
FRANCE.
PARIS, June 1.-The ministerial arrangements
are still uncontrolled. The President of the Repub-
lie persists in retaining M. de Faoux, but his I'M
reasonable ideas regarding the Popes restoration at
once prevent the cooperation of M Dufaur, Pas
sey, and o. Barrot. Bugeaud and Dupin have been
to the Palace Elysee, and asked by the President
to form ministry; the latter at once declined Last
night the general opinion was, that, after ALL w
cabinet will be formed of MN. Bugeaud, Faoux,
Benoit, Piscatory, Matthew de la Redorte and some
men.

part, have been productive of the suspension OF
military operations until de1nluve INSTRUCTIONS can
be received from the French Government
Later news from Italy informs us that the stua-

while an attack was every moment expected. The
triumvirs, it appears, opened negotiations.
General Due d'Harcourt arrived incognito in the
city lately, and had an interview with NJ Lesseps
who shortly afterwards followed him to the French
camp
The French approach nearer and surround the
city. The adjacent heights were taken possession
of on the 22d ult by detachment recently landed
at Civita Vecchia. The French seemed determined
TO enter the city, but if possible without effuson OF

protest Of the King against the proceedings of the
French envoy, which protest is said to have caused
the coming Of M. d'Harcourt to Rome.
