IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, JOLT 18. - Replies from her Majesty and the DuchMa of Csinbrldge, with respect to the death of the Doke of Cam hridue, were brought, and orderwito be entered on the journal: 'Wee Election (Ireland) Bill 111r3 read a third time and paused. Several other bills were advance a stage, and the House adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock.  With regard to moral reflexions on so dismal a tragedy, we have few to offer. They will naturally arise in the minds of all reflecting persons, and will be similar in character. If this man committed murder, as we are forced to think he did, it is one of the foulest upon record—a sin against light and knowledge, and a violation of God's law, all the more hideous that it was pre-determined. If, on the other hand, as he himself says, it was accidental—a homicide, and not a murder—and the result of momentary passion, not of design; then we have a terrible lemon on the danger of niftily way to sudden impulses of temper which may hurry a man into the commission of crimes of the blackest dye. No inference as to the condition of American civilisation can be drawn from this incident, both parties being individuals who moved in the best circles of the best educated community in the United States; but we suspect that whatever the guilt of Webster may be, Parkman was an unamiable and violent man—and we know that money—" the root of all evil " was at the bottom of it.  The Weather and Cropc—Several refreshing showers have fallen of late, which have imparted a vernal hue to the parched vegetation; the heat still continues great, and, we understand, is forwarding the general appearance of the crops, which are promising an abundant and early yield. Thunder-storms, we learn, have been traversing various parts of the kingdom, and have been generally fatal in their effects. The potato looks healthy, and seems hitherto free of the taint with which the crops of preceding years have been affected. The produce of the orchard and garden is also ripening rapidly, and abundance of fruit expected ih due season.  Appointment.—We understand that the session of St. Enoch's parish have, out of a very numerous list of candidates, unanimously elected Mr. John Clyne, of the Normal Seminary, to be teacher of their Parish School, in room of the late Mr. Russell. The appointment of Mr. Clyne, whose talents and success in teaching are well known, will, we have no doubt, keep up, or rather increase, the efficiency of the school, which ranks among the first of the sessional seminaries of this city. The Commercial Exchange Company. —We have been:in• formed that, at a meeting of the retired partners of this company, held hero on Wednesday, the parties present were unanimously of opinion that it was expedient for them, under existing circumstances, to aid, by voluntary subscriptions, the present partners, in payment of the debts due by the company. Subscriptions to the amount of' £15,000 were announced as having been made, and a committee was appointed to wait upon the absent retired shareholders, to obtain additional subscriptions. We have heard it stated that the present partners demand from the retired £BO,
