Secrecy , therefore , may prevent a closing , but cannot assist it ; pub & jity cannot prevent it , but * mM vMt & stiona 1 & f « s * Bt at once both the American publfcf and the Bog ®* public to have the question jpttled . « r ~ 22 House of Commons , whose aC & e members , « p ascertain the truth oJt * hes * &*** en * s > ?**&* and leaves the whofil matter *!* the hands * T the Executive , exposed as the Executive has been m North America !

The House of Commons ia parting with , its control over Ministers , at the very time when the affair ? of the Continent are becoming more embroiled than ever . There have been rapid intercommunications between the Emperor Naioltjon and the Emperor Francis-Joseph of Austria ; we gather from the JPresse Beige that France and Austria are quite agreed as to the course to be pursued in Italy ; while it is affirmed , that our Government resolves to stand by and do nothing . Certainly this is not the position that our public understand the Grovernmentr to take . If this was
thft intention , then the encouragement given to Sardinia at the Conference in Paris , and by the speeches of our Ministers in Parliament , was an excitement to a course of action which might lead to an immense sacrifice-q £ life , and , what is worse , of liberty in ; Italy . Naples is pursuing her course of oppression in a manner which implies that she has no regard for the formal remonstrances of [ France and England :: does that imply that she is conscious of support ,, and- does not feel any neces < - sity for yielding before these dramatic represents lions P In Parma the people can scarcely be prevented from rising against the Austrians , because Ifc is- understood that the Government itself is in opposition to- Austria . In L-ombar-dy there is the
same impatience to mov , ei And , in fact , feom the Alps to Naples the people ar , eawaiting the signal . In fact , the House p _ f Commons is scarcely woith proroguing ; but Ministers object to even this amount of interruption , and Parliament is to be dismissed about a mpntk before the usual time : the . 24 tli of this month is the day fixed . We all Imqw , tl » erefoi ? e » what is to become of those measures that now . amuse the two Houses .. The JJiyorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill , amended fey Lord- Lytsdhubst , the Wills Bill , or any other bUl , ¦ will be shuffled aside ; - why should Parliament remain together when the state of parties will sot- let it legislate , and Ministers will not let it ask what . the Government is about abroad ?

and among , the railway handsf by strikes . It is not that in any one of these strikes actual poverty , or extreme depression or wages is pleaded ; hut tne people feel thato wtiilc- the " prosperity of the country' is inoveasing , at an onprmous rate * vwith the revenUjQ , Uttd . witb . the powW : of the Executive ,, tjuWB who . mak # , it , i & p , prq ^ pppity-r-the working brands—dp np ^ ge ^ . their proportion , of the increase .

The Count of Paris , too , has declined to join in the combination of the Obleaks fiuniljr with , the-Count of Chambokd , because the Count of Pabis calculates that he has chances which it is not
worth while to surrender . There appears to be something strange in the chances of military fate . Sir William Williams of K ' ars has become the pet of the public and he is likely to be as satiated with " freedoms of the City as with cakes ; while Sir Colin Campbell , one of the stoutest and most chivalrous knights of modern days , finds his recognition only in commercial Glasgow , where Anthont Sterling tells the plain truth to the British public , and is cheered—yes , cheered ; but the British public at present stops its action with cheering good things , and letting bad things go on in passive
indifference . , A proof of this is the trick that was almost played upon the public and upon tha Queen by that «• flippant official , " as the Globe calls him , Sir Richard Aibjsy . Lord PAJausRSTON had promised that the Guards returnffl & to London * their garrison , should make a public entry , at such time and by such route as the whole metropolis might welcome them . But Airit , who ha & been criticised , and probably hates the public , press , and everything that has passed judgment upon him ,
took the matter into his Quartermaster-General mind , and resolved to snub Palmerston , Parliament , Press , and Public . The public , however * got scent of the matter ; the papers furnished a thunderstorm which strengthened the hands of one department against another , and Lords Palmebkbon and Pammbrb prevail over Airey . So the public will have its pageant ; for pageants are things which it is not thought safe even for the highest power of departmental
Caesars to withhold . We have already mentioned the huge mass of speculation which is breeding in London : there is the same speculation enjoying an over-growth in Paris . M . Goupy cannot recover the losses which he sustained under the operations of the Credit Mobilier , because he has participated in the speculation . As if to remind people in the City of what they are doing , Sii Jokm jD « an Padi » has reappeared from prisonlike his own ghost , a
, witness to give evidence forming one of the most curious chapters in his history under the cognizance of the Court of Common Pleas ; while the Commissioners of Chancery in Ireland have been laying bare the entanglement of p oor LordKiwar Slow , in the qase of John S-adlbir , who hod offered to manage the Irish peer ' s difficulties for him . The decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on the Dyce Sombre will , which ia set aside in favour of the rights of his
widow against his vindictive charity bequeata m India , may perhaps ope . ija . te as a warning to the I £ ng of OvuE ^ whQ . w coming ; with . aU his rupees ,, that .

F Imperial Parliament. ¦ ¦' —?—Monday, J...
f IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ¦ ¦ ' —?—Monday , June 30 < A . In tiba > hw 9 E of Lords , the Royal Assent was given by Qtii » i « i » i < B » to several bills .
tBE NEAPOLITAN GOVERNMENT . In * ep * T to a question from Lord Lyndhurst , the EarLat Gbarenoon stated that it was not yet in the jMMiVtfr the Government to lay before the House the * 55 espo » tt " en <» which Hail passed with other Governments on , the ItaBan question . ISfo reply had yet beeu received fiwn- Naples to a note communicated to the ; King by the English and French Governments , but ther e iwas reason to believe that one would shortly arrive . tinder these circumstances , he did not think it would answer any public purpose to lay papers on the subject before the House ; but Lord Lyndhutst might rely upon it that the Government -would leave no means untried to put a stop to the occupation of Italy by foreign troops .
OATH OF ABJURATION BILL . Lord Derby moved for permission to discharge the order for the third reading of this bill , -which stood for the ensuing Thursday . He said his motives for bringing forward the measure bad been so- misconstroedy and the remarks which Lord Iiyndhurst had made on > the second reading ( of which he thought he had some cause to complain ) had so entirely deprived it of its mission , ¦ which -was one of peace and conciliation , that he felt there was no chance for the bill in " another place . " After a brief desultory conversation , in which Lord Ltndhcest defended the course he hod taken , and some remarks were offered by Lords Campbell , Malmesbury , and Clanricardb , the motion was agreed to . THE EAST INDIA COMPANY ' S GRANT TO THE SUFFEREES
FROM THE FJJENCH FLOODS . The Duke of Argyll , in answer to the Marquis of Clanricarde , stated that the 500 / . contributed by the East India Company towards the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in France , had been sanctioned by the President of the Board cf Control . — The Earl of Ellenboroitgh conceived that the subscriptions were illegal ,, and . that no sanction by the President of the Board of Control could alter the case . No expenditure could be justified which was not for the service of the Government of India ; and he ( the Earl of Ellfenborough ) was of opinion that the moneys expended
by the Company in giving" dinners upon various occasions , were also illegally employed . " What would they say if the Secretary of State for War , upon the occasion of an . examination of the cadets at Sandhurst or Woolwich , invited some fifty officers to be present at the examination , paid all the expenses of their journey there and back , gave them a magnificent dinner into the bargain , and charged the expeaises in' the war estimates V " The Bankruptcy ( Scotland ) Boll , the Joint Stock Companies Bill , the Industrial Provident Societies Bill , and the Seamen ' s Savings Banks Bill , were respectively read a third time , and' passed . The House then adjourned .
THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE . In the House of Commoms , in answer to Mr . Jabies JVTGuegor , Lord Palmerston said that thore had been no questions between the Government of this country and that of Greece since May , 1864 . There had been a great many reports of canes relating to brigamlugc , but no question which required that papers should bo laid before Parliament . DESTRUCTION OF TURKISH FORT 8 BY THK RUSSLVXH . Replying to Colonel Dunne , Lord Palmerston said it was not possible to give any official information as to tho destruction of the forts of Ismail and Itoni ; but , from what passed at tho Paris Conferences , the Russians conceived they were at liberty to destroy those works ; and tho only effect would be , that their demolition would impose upon the Turkish Government some expense in restoring thorn . Gn ttao motion of Lord Padmkrsxon , the order for tho second reading of tho National Gallery Situ Bill was discharged . RKTIRBMHNT OV BISHOPS . Mr . Gujs « eON inquired whether it : was in the contemplation of Government to propose any plan for the retirement of bi & hops on pensions . —Lord Palmkhnton replied that it . was not his intention to Introduce nny genevall moasure , but , ae the Bishops of London ami L ) . urhiun bad signified their wish to retire , owing to infirmity , ho should have to propose a bill limited to those two cnues . OUR RELATIONS WITH ATUKRIOA . On blio order for going into Committee of S upply * Mr . William Brown , Mr . Ap . slicv Picli-att , JMr . Joseph Ewart , Mr . Ciikktiiam , nrul Mr . Si'oonf . u , « ppealed to Mr . G . II . Mooro not to bring forward tin ' motion of which ho had ^ ivon notice on tho subject of our relations with tho United StuloH . — Mr . Moohk < 1 « - clined to accede , and observed , iimidut much laughter , that tho opinion' of Mr . Spoonor must necessarily hnv <' great weight with him . upon any subject , nnd more especially when it took tho shapo of u protest ngniuwt ' lirt exciting ill-will against cla « Hoa or sects of people .
