THE TROUBLE BETWEEN THE HOUSES.
Lord Palmerston then presented the resolutions
as agreed to by the Special Committee on the SUBJ
Ject OF the rejection Of the bill repeating the paper

Lord Palmerston then proceeded to sneak unon
the subject. He entered mild protest against
the action of the Lords and asserted the rights of
the Commons in matters effecting taxation At
the same time, he was not prepared to undo what
had been done; and he counselled the House to
adopta policy of moderation, and not at this iunc-
ture to throw itself into direct antagonism on in
sufhcient grounds, with the upper branch of the
legislature.
A general debate ensued, in the course of which
many members deprecated the resolutions, and
urged the full maintenance of the privileges of the
House of Commons.
MIR. Gladstone created sensation by a speech
olHerlng essentially in the tone to that delivered
by Lord Palmerston. He taunted the opposition
with neglect of duty in declining to oppose the
government, and charged them with being parti-

THE LONDON TINES ON THE SAN JUAN
DISPUTE
At the close of long account of the present
state of the dispute between Great Britain and the
United States, as to the sovereignty of San Juan,
the Times of July 6, says:

no other interest than the preservation of national
honor and credit in that remote region. Could it

boundary treaty we were bound to give up not

would give the Americans hearty welcome to their

"Indeed, it is amazing what force we can

HORRIBLE CRUELTIES OF THE NEAPOL-
ITANS.
As at Catania, the Neapolitans exhibited during
the struggle nconceivable traits of ferocity which
proceeded evidently from superior orders By care
of the municipality, list has been drawn up of the
names OF offending individuals assassinated in the
interior houses that were kept closed. Among
them are women, children and strangers, and the
number is more than six hundred. The details are
horrible. In the authentic proces-uerbaI communi-

general relates that, having set himself to look
after one of his countrymen, wine merchant,
whose wife and children had been massacred. and
whom, individually they had taken off to torture at
their ease, he came to convent of White Benedic-
tines, and that he there behed the still smoking
ruins of the building covering heap of cacined
bodies. The soldiers had shut up the neighboring
inhabitants that had fallen into their hands in the
retectory OF the convent, and had then burnt them
dLtue. Horrorstruck, the Swiss consul went to ex-
press his Indignation to Gen. LAMA, who told him
that he lied, and had him shown the door.

DOINGS IN NAPLES SINCE THE GRANT OLA
CONSTITUTION.
The Naples correspondent of the Daily Nelcs
writing on the 30th of June, gives narrative of
events IN Naples since the grant of Constitution.
He says:
