The number of unemployed oneratives ia the 11 th arrondissEment of Paris i ' s officially announced as 3 000 , and that in the 12 th arrondissement at 10 , 000 , who subsist entirely on the fosd distributed to thea by the municipal authorities . The Refshms states that the distress amongst i-ne operative classes at Paris is every day becoming more intenss . Crowds of famished women , children , and old men are constantly to be seen waiting at tbegate of ths Luxembourg , for the hour of the soldiers meal , in expectation of receiving a , portion of it . Serious apprehensions are entertained for tho apoaching winter .
pr , Amongst the insurgents transported to Brest on Sunday , the G : h inst ., are twenty-four Belgians , o : whom seven are natives of Brussels , three of Ghent two of Bruges , one of Antwerp , and three from the Duchy of Luxembourg . Amongst the natives of Brussels are Becker , formerly aid-de-camp of General Meliimett , Lieutenant-Colonel of the Franco-Belgian Legion , and one ot tbe chiefs of the expedition of SifoucEJ-Tout ; together with Autoine Peche , Pierre Klein , cabinet maker ; Auguste Koning , printer ; and Decat . tailor , of Brussels . The National of Monday states , that Mr Morgan ( we presume that Mr O'Gorman is meant ) , one ofthe leaders in the insurrectional movement of Ireland , has succeeded in escaping to France , and has landed at Havre

GERMANY . Frakkfort . — The constituent assembly had a stormy sitting en the 7 th , the question of a general amnfcty for political offenders being brought under discussion . One of the speakers ( HerrBrentano ) raised a perfect tumult by making a sneering allusion to the Prince ef Prussia . In vain the vice-president endeavoured to restsre order ; not only his voice but his bell was drowned in the uproar and the confused cries of 'Djwn with the speaker' ( henmter mit dem Redner ) and ' Go on , go on . ' The vice-president at last put on his hat aid declared the aittine o « sed . . .
There was another stormy sitting on the 8 th , in consequence of the vice-president being called upon to reprimand HerrBrentano tor bis disc rderly conduct on the previous day . The tumult rose again to such a height that the assembly adjourned for one hour . Whea the sitting was renewed , Herr Brentano ascended the tribune , amidst the cheers of the persons asseabled in the public galleries ; whereupon the vice-president ordered ' allstrangers '( including the reporters ) to withdraw . Subsequently the latter were allowed to return , but the motion to admit the general public was negatived by 3 S 0 to 91 . An animated discussion then ensued on the petition for a general amnesty for political offenders . Finally , the assembly voted the order of the day , by a majority of 317 to 90 ; thus virtually declaring against the amn 8 v .

We leara from Inspruck that on the morning of the 8 : h the Emperor of Austria took his departure from that place for Vienna , accompanied by the whole of his family . The DamOMitieal Society of Cologas has forwaried a strong address to the National Assembly in favour of Polish nationality . On the 11 th the Assembly voted their president a salary of 2 , 000 florins per month , and rendered its acceptance obligate ry .
ITALY . THE WAS IK LOMBARBT—CAPITULATION OF HILA 5 . We have letters of the 5 th from our correspondent at Milan . At two o'clock on the previous day , the Austrians attacked the lines in front of the Porta Romans , and then retired . The King withdrew the whols of the Piedmontese army to ths bastions which snrrouad the city , and established his head-quarters In the old citadel . At midnight M . Rszy the French Charge d'Affaires , at Turin , and Mr ' Campbell , the British Consul , accompanied two of the King ' s generals on a special mission to tbe head-quarters ef Field Marshal Radetzky .
The object ofthe Consuls was to demand time for the removal of their Nationals , whilst that of the Generals appeared to be to prepare a capitulation . A capitulation waa signed on the 5 th , at the Austrian head-quarters , within the walls of Milan , in the presence of the consuls of Fiance and England , in Tirtne of which tha lives and properties of the inhabitants were guaranteed , and forty-eight hours allowed for the Piedmmteso army to retire behind the Tkino . Advices from Turin of the 7 th , confirm the news cf theevacua ' . ion of Milan by the Piedmonteje army , in consequence of a capitulation and the retirement of that army beyond the Ticino .
isfauous cssDDcr op ths saebiniak kisg . The Swiss National Gazette of the Slhaays , under ths head of Lugano , the 6 th : Piedmontese refugees who have arrived at Chaas o announce that the Piedmontese Gsneral , OUvieri , who had eeizad on all the power at Milan in the name of Charles Albert , had patanend to the measures of defence ofthe Republican Committee , declaring that the communications in the interior of the city , where barricades were being raised , should remain free , ia order that the artillery should not meet with any obstacle . He added that tha king would deliver battle outside the town . Ga the evening of the 4 th the . advanced guard of the Austtiaas appeared before the Roman gate ; they were received with cannon shots , and driven back to
Malignant ) . The Italians made 200 prisoners and took two pieces of cannsn . This advantage so much enconraged the Italians , that they declared traitors to their country whoever should speak of capitulation . But Charles Albert was of a different opinion , as , in the night of the 4 th , he capitulated , on the following conditions : —That the Piedmontese army should retire ; that Ufa and property should be secured to the inhabitants . The people then revolted , and a number of bui'dings outside the walls , which might impede the defence , were demolished . In the morning of the 5 th , the enemy did not appear . Suspicions were conceived ; a crowd collected in front of Charles Albert ' s hotel ; and he declared from his balcony that the capitulation had been refused by Radetzk y , aud that he would defend the town to the last extremity . Soon after , Olivieri came and declared that the king could not hold the town any longer , and arrived at the conclusion of the capitulation . The people , in
fury , wanted to seizs on Charles Albert . The men in attendance on him were cat to pieces ; Charles Albert , on his side , had the people fired on by the Piedmontese , and two ofthe inhabitants were killed . Other inhabitants declared in favour of tbe capitulation , and were killed . The people would not submit . Charles Albert had the cannon removed from the walls . ' Every one was allowed to quit tha city ; Mveral went away . At the end of its report the Re FUBIIcais adds : The rumour prevails tbat the people at last seized on Charles Albert , bat that does not a reewuh the following postscript : At half-past six Gen . Zueehi arrived at Lugano , with the news that Chailes Albert had delivered Milan to the Austriana , and had withdrawn , passing the Ticino . On Sunday the Austrians entered- Milan ; the republicans Garibaldi and Mazxini were still at the head of 10 , 600 rr 15 , 000 men near Monzj , within some league ' s of Milan . '
On entering Cremona , says a letter from Turin , the Austrians decreed a levy , en masse , of men between tte ages of eighteen and forty , to be incorporated in the Austrian army . This decision , i t is added ted to the emigration of most of the youths of Cremona , who proceeded to Milan to join the Italian army .

was despatcae . d yesterday by estifette , and I prepared my letter for the usual hour to day , in the hope that a sirsVtar exertion will ba made by M . Boppis , the intelligent director of the post . The persons near Charles Albert are not famous for keeping secrets which do not immediately touch their private in terests , and therefore you will not ba surprised to learn that within a few minutes of the answer of the King accepting the terms of Marshal Radetzky being « ent off , the whole oamp was in possession of thefaot . The excitement became great , and as soon as the reports were confirmed by the departure of some of the household troops , and of many ofthe Royal equipages in the direction of Turin , it amounted almost to desperation . Groups flaw through all tbe streets exclaiming , ' We are sold , ' 'We are betrayed ; ' the drums of the National Guard beat to arms , and rsen with mu-kets on their shoulders , ran from place to place willing to do mischief , bat not knowing where to begin
. , The most violent collected in the square of the Scala theatre , and in the Corsia de Giardmo , before the C asa Greppi , in which the King was lodged ; and there finding several carriages prepared tor the journev the y at once cut tho harness , withdrew the henes and overturned the equipages themselves . This was accompanied by mo » t insulting expressions against them , bufe not against tha Piedmont ? B 6 : and so great waa the distinction taken , that the officers and dragoons that forme . l the escort of tho carriages were compelled to dismount , and th-y were embraced by the people with the cries of' Long live > the Piedmontese army , but death to toe traitor Charles Albert ! ' One of the officers , a major , I am told , though lean scarcely believe the fact , so far joined in this demotietration as to tear off his own epaulette and declare , that as the honour of Piedmont w ; is lost
he would no longer continue in the service . Exclamations of the same nature were heard from officers of various ranks among the crowd , but it was difficalfc in the confusion to ascertain whether they wore Sardinian or Lombard uniforms . A body of National Gaards at last took possession of the Casa Greppi , in plain language , constituting the King a prisoner ; and . as I am assured , several filled the rooms leading to the royal apartments , loudly declaring , that come what night , Charles Albert should not depart . At the same time , emissaries were despatched ^ to the several gatts . andlarg' bodies of National Guards , afsisted by an unarmed mob , absolutely barred egress or ingress . The gates leading towards Turin were blockaded and barricaded , and , with the most vio . ent denunciations , the people declared that the traitor should not that way .
pass _ .... In the mean time the cries for an explanation became so violent at the Casa Greppi , that a gener il tfficer , accompanied by two others , appeared on ihe balcony of tbat palace , and read a paper to the effect , ' that the King Charles Albert had come to the defence of the city of Milan at tbe request ot its inhabitants , and that the honour of the Italian army waa fully vindicated in the combat of the preceding day . The array , wanting ammunition , was no longer able to sustain its positions , and it was necessary to withdraw it for the present behind the Tessin . Its devotion to Italy could not be doubted , and it would soon again return to serve the common caase . The city of Milan would receive no injury , as due care had been taken by the King to recommend it to the huraanitv of the Austrian Commander-in-Chief . '
The reading of this paper produced a general burst of indignation , and cries of ' Death to Charles Albert ! '' Death to tbe Traitor !' ' We are sold ! ' ' We are betrayed ! ' were heard at every side . The tumult being a little subsided , the only two persons belonging to the late Provisional Government , Gen . Pompeo Letta and the Abbe Aunani , who have not abandoned the people , drew up a paper to the following effect , which they first read to the crowd , and then sent it in to the Kiog : — ' We , the only two members of the government who remain at our posts , learn by public rumour that a capitulation injurious to the honour of all Italy , and of the city of Milan , has been made to the Austrian general , in the most urgent manner entreat your Majesty to give us some explanation on this important matter . " I
presume that these gentlemen were called to the presence of tbe King , for in half-an-hour afterwards both appeared in the square , and read a declaration of this nature— ' Tha Kicg has assured us on his word and honour , and he offers hia life as a guarantee , that he will fight with the force ofthe whole army to the last moment . ' This declaration calmed in some degree the violence ot the erowd , but it was the no less generally believed that a capitulation had been made . My own opinion is , that though in point ef form the capitulation waa taken off in cocssquencs of the violence of the people , in reality it was concluded , and Radetzky remained perfectly quiet in his quarters , and not a single shot was fired from any of his advanced posts . The people did net partake that opinion , and they were seen on one side strengthening the barricides and apparently
preparing for a resolute defence . The day and afternoon passed in this manner ; but at nightfall the tumult became so violent , near the Kin g ' s residence that the Dake of Genoa came to the balcony , and requested the people to abstain from such angry andviolent demonstrations , as his Majesty was much indisposed , and earnestly desired a little reafc . The amiable and gallant prince was received with a volley of hisses the king was again called a traitor , and he a deceiver . The duke declared that he and his father were determined to fight to the last , but even this did not satisfy , and he withdrew amid cries of ' Death to the Traitor !* ' Death to the Impostor !' Several houses in the suburbs were set on fire , and the horrors of the situation were increased by the city being overhung for several hours of the night by a canopy of flame .
At this period the Archbishop of Milan , and the temporary Podesta , went out to the head-quarters of Field-Marshal Radetzky , for the purpose of informing bim of the true state of affairs within the city . At five this marning , when I was oa foot , I was delighted at finding that the tumult had ceased , that the tricolour flags were withdrawn from many of the neighbouring balconies , and that the barricades were in an active state of demolition . I am glad to find tbat the King and the Duke of Genoa have escaped . About three o ' clock this
morning an officer attached to the family brought up several pieces of flying artillery , charged with blank cartridge only , and discharged them at the crowd who blocked up the Contrada . The mob gave way at once ; troops were ready to prevent their again getting possession of the ground , and in a few minutes , everythiog having lx : en prepared , Charles Albertand the Duke of Genoa had cleared the walls . The Piedmontese troops at the same moment commenced te defile ; and at this hour the whole are on their assigned routes to Piedmont .
I am sorry to hear that several shots were fired at the king at the moment of his departure ; and though he and the Duke of Geneva escaped , some of the suite were wounded . This is a sad denouement to a romance which began so auspiciously ; but it must be confessed that the conduct of Charles Albert has been so extraordinary in compromising the city , and then abandoning it , that I am not surprised at the irritation ofthe peop ' e having exceeded all legal bounds .
SHIS ? OF THE AUSTRIANS . We have recsived s short letter dated the 7 th inst . from our correspondent in the eity of Milan . During the night of the 5 th and the morning of the 6 th the King and the whole Piedmontese army retired by the road to Tarin . On Sunday , the 6 th , the Austrian army , very strong , and in the finest order , entered tha city , and in a few hours civil and military occupation was established . The utmost silence prevailed during the passage of the troops through tbe Corsoand principal streets . The city has been deserted by all the nobility , Many of the better families , and by an immense majority of
the people . On the morning of the 7 th a proclamation appeared , signed hy Field-Marshal Radetzky , declaring the city and province of Lombardy in a state of siege , stating that all offences against good order wcnld be tried by martial law , and nominating the Prince Schwartz ? nburg military governor of Milan . The greatest order prevails , both on the oart of the Austrian troops and the Milanese peopki Not aa offensive word is uttered on either side . The following are the terms of the capitulation , Hgned on tbe 5 th of August by the Quartermaster-General of the Army , Paulo , Bassi Podesta of Milan , and General Conde Salasco , chief of the staff ;—
1 . The city of Milan ehall not be injured , 2 . As far as it depends on bis Excellency the Field-Harihal , he promises to maintain , with reipect to the past , all the indolgeace that eqult / demands . 3 . The return of the Sardinian army shall be divided into two days' march as had been agreed on with the Sardinian Gtnerah . 1 , His excellency gives free exit to all psrssns wishing to leave the city by the road to Magenta ( to Turin ) up to eight o ' clock to-morrow night . 5 . —The Field-Marshal is to bare the occupation of th » Porta Romana at eight to-morrow morning , and the free entrance of the army for the ocaupation of the city at noon . 6 . Tha transport of sick and wounded ebaU be made In two days , 7 . all these conditions are to be accepted by his Mr j * ety tbe Kiog of Sardinia . 8 . The Field-Marthal demands the iameuiate
liberation of ail the generals , officers , and Auitclon mphyei at present in Milan . M iah , An gust 8 —The most pro ' ound tranquillity prevails here ; so profound that it more resembles the silence of the grave than the repose of a great city . Still , the Austrian soldiers are restrained by the most perfect discipline , and the streets are deserted ; not because the troops are disorderly , but becanse the great ^ majority of citizens have fled , and the few who remain are unwilling to leave their houses . The above is from the Times . In the Daily News it is stated that the beautiful Faubour g of St Gothard , ferming the richest and most magnificent quarter of the capital , the inhabitants of whioh had all fled , was delivered up to the ravage and pillage of the Austrian soldiery , and completely destroyed . The loss of property in that quarter was said to ba fifty millions-According to letters from Italy of tbeSib , Charles

Albert had established his head quarters at Vige-By other accounts we learn that Marshal Radetzky is proceeding with great severity at Milan . Martial law has been proclaimed ; a levy has been ordered ot all the men capable ot carrying arms , between the age of eighteen and forty-five years . All persons who have fled from Lombardy are called upon to return within eight days , under the penalty ofthe confiscation of their property . ... .. ... The consternation occasioned by the news of the rapid and brilliant successes of the Austrian arras in the different principalities of the Italian peninsula is unbounded ; but in the midst of the universal expressions of grief of a whole people , appeals for a general rising against the enemy rise above the dirge , and give renewed strength to the evor-tluotuating hopes of the Italians . of the 4 th
Letters from Rome August represent matters as assuming daily a more unfavourable and cheerless position . The Chamber of Deputies at Rome has voted an address to the Parliaments of Tuscany , Sardinia , and Naples , in order that they may all concert together for the safety of Italy . A letter from Rome , addressed to the Univers , says : — ' We are in a state of complete anarchy : at the moment at which I write to you , it is said that the Civic Guards are making common cause with tho heroes of Vicenziand the other factions ; that they havo rejected and trampled under foot the Pontifical cackade , < fcc . God only knows what Uo reserves for Rome . M . iny persons are taking measures for putting themselves out of danger , and already have several of the Cardinals who were most threatened left the city .
ENTRANCE OP THE AUSTRIANS INTO FERRABAA telegraphic dispatch has beea received in Paris from tho French Ambassador at Rome , dated the 9 th , to the following effect : —The entry ofthe Austrians into Ferrara ia CJnhrmed . They have disarmed the National Guard and the Papal troops . Tho following day they marched to Bolsgna , which they would have reached by tbe 8 th . The Austrian commander has issued a proclamation , in which he declares that the Austrian army has entered tho Roman States for the purpose of re es tablishing the authority of the Pope , in a conservative sense , and according to the treaty of Vienna . Brescia is said to have capitulated on the 8 th : the Austrians to have entered on the 9 th . CONFLICT BETWEEN THE B 0 L 0 ONESB AND THE
AUSTRIANS— BOMBARDMENT OF BilLOQNA . The -Boliona Gazette of the 9 th contains important news . It appears that on the afternoon of the Sth , the Austrian General Weldon baring levied a heavy contribution upon Bologna , and demanded hostages for the payment and for tbe subjection of the Bolognese , the people rose , aud the tocsin was sounded . A conflict ensued , and tho Austrians were driven out of the city , Subsequently the Austrians bombarded the town , and set it on fire in several places ; tho Bolognese again attacked them , and drove them from their position . PORTUGAL .
The political prisoners still remain incarcerated . The sou of the late Spanish ambassador has been ordered to quit Portugal . The northern provinces aro in so excited a state that disturbances are expeo ted every day ; while in the northern garrisons nu merous desertions have taken place . Gas has been introduced into the streets of Lisbon .
DANUBIAN PROVINCES . According to accounts received by the Dsbats , the Russians had not yet entered Wallachia , and the Turkish troops were stationed along the frontier as if with the ioteation of opposing their passage , a situation wbich is full of danger . The Russians claim a right of interference , grounded upon a letter written by Rifaat Pacha , whioh the Turks deny . The French and Prussian Consuls at Jassy had protested against the entry of the Russians into Moldavia as a flagrant violation of treaties . At Bucharest the
revolutionary party had acquired their advantages through a popular movementthat took place on the 12 th , and the old members of the provisional government were recalled . Such waa the situation en the 15 th . The Porte had concentrated an army of 35 . 000 men , composed of the best troops , and had placed them under the command of Eumer Pacha , the cot queror of Albania and of Kurdistan . The last news from Servia announces tbat a body of 8 , 000 had crossed the frontier to join their brother Sclavians , who were combating the Maayars .
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . By the arrival of the royal mail steam-ship Ilibernia , Captain Neil Shannon , on Tuesday afternoon , we learn that General Taylor ' s acceptance of the Whig nomination to the presidency has at length ap < peared . Loud complaints , says a New York paper , reach us from the American manufacturing districts . Cotton and woollen manufactories , as well as iron works , are stopping work in every direction in consequence of the ruinous competition of the English . These disasters , acting upon the public mind , bid fair to produce important changes in our rates of duty on European manufactures . The magnetic telegraph from Pittsburgh ^ informs us that there has been a serious riot , many injuries received and much damage dons at Alleghany by the factory operatives who have struck for the' ten-hour law . '
There was a ' mass meeting'of the friends of Ireland held in Tammany-hall on the 26 th ult ., in relation to the arrest ot Messrs . Duffy , Martin , O'Dog herty , Williams , and others , and to take measures to meet tbe crisis at hand for Ireland . This meeting was called by Mr Robert Emmett , chairman of the association : but ho was not present ^ About 2 , 000 persons attended—all , or nearly all , Irish . Mr Greely was in the chair , and Messrs Doyle , Lynch , White , Robinson , Mooney , ond Michael T . O'Connor were the speakers . Some of the speeches were violent enough . A series of resolutions censuring the British government were passed . A meeting on Irish union and fraternisation was held in New ? ork , on the 27 th . Robert Eaimett , chairman : and on the 23 th there was also a meeting of the ' New York American League for Ireland . *
The New York Herald of July Slat , says , that 'subscriptions are pouring into the coffers of the Irish provisional committee , at a rate wbich is hardly credible— 50 . 000 dollars it is confidently asserted , will be transmitted by the steam-ship whioh will sail from this city on Wednesday next . ' The only other news of political interest is the statement now received in an authentic shape of a battle , or rather succession of skirmishes near Guanajatoin Mexico , between Bustamente commanding the government forces , and Paredes with Jerante at the head of the revelters . The victory is claimed for both sides .

MONDAY , August U , HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal assent was given , by commission to a great number of public and private bllla- „ . _ _ Soppbession cf the Clous in Ieelahd . —The Loan CvjANCEM'Oahe . vlng moved the committal of the Unlawful O . UU a Acts ( Ireland ) Continuance and Amendment
Rill Tho Earl of Shbkwbbuby rose to ask what were the intentions of tho government with respect to their future policy In Ireland , more especially with regard to the adoption of remedial measures for that country . Such measures had been recommended by numerous parliamentary committees and reyal commissions , by statistical and polltloai ; wrhers , for these twenty years , solicited for by almost every grand jury in the couatry , earnestly insisted on by Lord John Russell as being necessary in 18 W . 181 G , and at other periods , yet up to the present
hour they existed only In idea , none of them having been carried into effect . The noble earl said there was ono grievance existing In Ireland whioh was greater , but far more difficult to deal with than the rest , viz , the established church . Religious distinctions were the bane and curse of th > empire , and were the primary cause of all thj mlsgovcrnment of Ireland . He had no hostility to the establishment , but sure he wes that Its recon . otructlon would bo produc Ire of advantage to both churches and tend to the benefit of the nation at large , and without a settlement of that question tho Emaucipa . tiou Act became merely a measure of toleration .
Tho Marquis of I /* nsdowne regarded tho Bill before the house In the strictest as well as the largest sense , as a remedial measure . To ensure the peace of Ireland , and to establish tho security of life and property In that country , was tho first thing necessary . Until the aapromacy of the law and the power of tho government to put down the organised tyranoj exercised In Ireland should bo mi do manifest , it would be useless to attempt to introduce measures with tho view of Inducing persons to invest capita ! In Ireland , Caring tho last half century there had prevailed in tbe Imperial parliament one constant endeavour to improve the state and coudition of Ireland . Other measure ? than thoso brought forward had been contemplated , but had been delayed by the rebellion which had unfortunately broken out ; but when peace , law , and order were restored , then the consideration of those measures would be resumed , and would engage , he was confident , the best and most anxious attention of both houses of parliament .
Tho Duke of Wellington supported the bill , as tbe complement of the measures proposed by the government for tho purpose of putting dawn rebellion . He knew something of military aSiirs , and he had no hesitation in saying that tbia bill was absolutely accessary , and that it should be curried into execution with the greatest activity . After a few observations from the Earl of Dtsaet , Lord Redebdale , and the Marquis of Clanricabse , The bill passed through committee , an amendment moved by Lord Glenqald , having been withdrawn .
PABLiiJiENTisr ELEcroBS BiLL . —Lord Beaumont , in moving the second reading , explained that the oVject of this bill , wbich had been sent up from the other house , was not practically to Interfere witb , bat to carry out , the rate-paying clauses ol the Rsform BUI . Tbe provisions of tho Reform Act which mzde the right to vote depend on the payment , before the 20 th of July , of tbe rates and taxes due in tho previous April , operated In numerous instances to disfranchise parsons perfectly solvent , and in every other respect qualified to vote , and who had omitted paying the rates and taxes , not from an inability to pay , or neglect of their own , but from the neglect of the collector , who , being often a person of
strong political bias , managed by omitting to call on those eh ctors who eatertafned opposite views to hie own , to influence the register by keeping out tbeir names . By the present bill it was propssed to leave the tost of the right to vote , the payment of rates and taxes , hut to require the payment , before the 20 th of July , of the amount due np to ths October instead ofthe April preceding . This would prevent a practical abuse which was now much complained of , and would opei the register to some of tbe most wealthy and . respectable householders , who were now too often improperly excluded . It was not proposed that the bill should come into operation fjr a year .
After eame discussion the bill was read a second time . Thoir lordships adjourned at a quarter past nine . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock . London and Nobth We » tebn Railway . —Mr Thobk-1 EV rose and s « ld— I am aware that It ( s not In accordance with the usual practice to put questions at tbe early sittings of the house , bit seeing my bon . friend the member for Kendal and chairman of the North Western Railway Company in his place , I will take the liberty of asking him whether any agreement has been come to between the directors of the North Western Railway Company and tbe engine drivers of that company ; and if not , whether such arrangements hare been made as will provide for the secure working of the line and the safety of the public . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr Glyn replied—I am extremely obliged to my bon . friend f \> r giving me this opportunity of answering his question , and I regret that I was absent from the house on Friday , when a similar question was put to the right bon . gentleman the President of the Board of Trade hy tbe hon . member for Lsominster ( MrBarWy . ) I have now the satisfaction of being able to inform my hon , friend and the house , that every provision has been made for tbe proper working of tbe trains on the London and North Western Railway . { Hear , hear . ) A very cons . , derable number of the old engine drivers and assistants have returned to their duty , aud with the experienced men whom we have been able to secure from other lines of railway , every train will henceforth from this morning be worked by men as competent and efficient as those who have left the company ' s service , ( Hear , hear , ) The Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill , the Poor Law Union Districts School Bill , the Money Order Department Post Office BUI , and the Boroughs Incorporation BUI were read a third time and pstsed .
The Mllltla Fay Bill and the Parochial Debt and Audit Bill passed through committee . The report ef tbo Steam Navigation BUI was received . After about an hour ' s sitting the house adjourned to five o clock , SCPPBEBBID C 0 SBB 6 r 0 HDEHCE .--0 n the mOtiOU tO gO Into a Committee of Supply , Lord 6 . Bkbtikck moved an address to her Majesty , praying that she would direct the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine forthwith to transmit to her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Colonies copies ofthe omitted correspondence between tho Provincial Secretary of Canada and the Secretary to the Montreal Board of Trade , aud would direct that tbe same be laid before the house .
Lord J . Russell objected to the motion , on the ground that it would Imply a oeneuro on Lord Elgin aud Kincardine ; but be had no objection to the production of the paper referred to , and tbo Under Secretary of tbe Colonies would take the first opportunity to move that It ba laid on the table . With this assurance he expressed a hope that the Noble Lord would allow his motion to be negatived , and the House to go into Commute of Supply . The motion was put and negatived without a division . The house then went into Committee of Supply on the miscellaneous estimates , which occupied the remainder of the sitting . In the course of the discussion tho Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that Lord Shilbuene , in pursuance of tha recommendation of the Committee on Expenditure , had resigned his office as one of the Lords of the Treasury , and that it was not the intention of tbe Government to fill up the vacancy .
A conversation of some length took place as to the expenses of building tbe New Houses of Parliament , which induced the following observation from Mr O'Connob ; Sir , this Is a question of taxation—a question upon wbich Her Majesty's ministers have evinced the greatest delicacy , as well as those gentlemen by whom they are surrounded , wbo always express themselves most tenderly upon the subject of taxes er funds extracted from the pockets ofthe working classes . And as the house was fond of precedent , he ( Mr O'Connor ) would call tbeir attention to a recent inquiry into the expenditure of the funds of tbe poor ; and following that precedent , if no other member undertook the task , he would consider it to be bis duty to move for tho appointmoot of a Select Committon , to inquire into tho expenditure of thiVpoopleYmoney , as well as for an accountant to examine the acctmnts , and he would propose tbe Judge-Advocate as chairman of that committee , and no doubt tbey would have a critical and hsnest report .
[ If it was , we fear tbat the new buildings , which were originally estimated at £ 700 , , and whioh It Is now admitted will not be finished for two millions sterling , would not stand the ordeal so well as the affaire of the National Land Company and the buildings upon its estates . ] A gratuity of £ 2 , 500 ., given by ths Government without the sanction of Parliament , to Sir C . Tbevelyan , tbe permanent Assistant Secretary of the Treasury , for his extra services in carrying into operation the relief measures for Ireland , was the subject of animadversion as a very bad precedent .
Mr B . Obbobse did not at all object to the salaries paid to ministers . It was small enough for the anxiety they nnderwentand arduous duties they had to perform ; but hemust object to tbe number of the Lords of theTreasury , whose chief business was to make a house aud listen to ths debates . Ho complained of the payment of £ 2 , 500 to Sir C . Trovelyan for extra labour in the cause of the Irish relief fund . His service was under 10 years , and ia addition to his salary and this sum of £ 2 , 000 pocketmoney , paid he knew not out of what fund , be had been made a K . C B . It might be said that the labours he had to perform were very heavy ; but the same might be said of several other situations when those who filled thern did not receive 6 d . beyond their salary . ( Hear , hear ) .
The Chahcellor of the Exchequeb said that this was a particular and exceptional case , in which a gra * tulty was only deemed reasonable and just as a mark of approbation of the extraordinary exertions made and al . most incessant labours which were undergone by Sir C . Trevelyan , Tho minute of tho Treasury by which the gratuity was ordered would appear in the civil contlngenoles , MrDisBABLi , while readily acknowledging the great services rendered by this gentleman , could not forget that the Order of the Bath had been conferred upon bim —a reward bestowed as for services which could not be paid fer by a gesaniary grant , ( Hear . ) The vols ef
Monday, August U, House Of Lords.—The Ro...
£ 2 , 500 was surely conceived la rather bad taste ; and a preuxchevilier , like Sir C . Trevelyan , bearing his blushing honours ( a laugh ) , might well be supposed to recoil from receiving en extra year ' s salary . Mr Gladstone condemned the conduct of the Government in this matter . It was there duty to have submltted a vote to the house ; not to have taken on themselves to reward a public servant . The particular paymerit to Sir C . Trevelyan was not even mentioned in tho estimates before tho committee . All that the estimates stated waa that £ 4 , 015 wore required on account of services performed in connexion with tbe distress in Scotland and Ireland . Who could suppose that a single cbarge to tho amount of £ 2 , 500 was Included in what appeared to be an aggregate of small items ? ( Hear . ) If it bad not been for the bon ; member for Middlesex the house would have known nothing of the matter .
The oceupants of tbe ministerial bench defended the irregular aad unjustifiable course they had adapted , by referring to tbe services of tbe officer , to whom tbey had granted the gratuity . Mr Obbobne wished to recall the committee to tbe question before it . A sum of money had been given to officers of tbe Treasury without the consent [ oi Parliament— a course which no minister was justified in pursuing . He was in the bands of tho house whether he should take a division on the question now , or wait till tho vote for civil contingencies . Ultlmatelv he postponed taking a division until the civil contingencies were before the house . After taking a number of votes tho house resumed .
Lord J . Rosbell gave notice that he would go on with a Committee of Supply at twelve o ' clock on Wednesday , that on Thursday tbe Diplomatic Relations with the Court of Rome Bill would be proceeded with , and that he would not move the third reading of the Sugar Duties BUI before Monday next . The Commons Inclosure Act Amendment Bill was read a second time . Tbe Sheep , & o „ Importation Prohibition Bill , and tbe Shesp , < tc , Contagious Disorders Prevention Bill were passed through Committee . Tho other orders were disposed of , and the house adj ourned at two o ' clock .
TUESDAY , August 16 . HOUSE OF LORDS . — The Constabulorly Force ( Ireland ) BUI and the Parliamentary Elections Bill , were severally passed through committee . Public Health Bill . —Lord Campbell moved tbat the house should not insist upon some of its amendments to the Public Health BUI , which bad been objected to by the House of Commons , or the bill , which still contained some valuable principles , must be lost for another year . The Earl of Ellshbobocoh , though objecting to many of tho amendments of the House of Commons , becausa they gave a power ot jobbing to the local boards , would , nevertheless , not give an excuse to the House of Gammons for depriving the public of the advantages tbe bill even yet contained . A short conversation ensued , after which the motion of Lord Campbell was agreed to .
The Unlawful Oaths Acts ( Ireland ) BiU wee read a third time and passed . Several bills on the table were forwarded a stage , and tbeir lordships arljonraed . THE HOUSE OP COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock . The morning sitting waa principally occupied in Committee on the Renewable Lea'ebold Conversion ( Ireland ) Bill , whioh waa not gone through , when tho Chairman reported progress aad obtained leave to sit again . The Steam Navigation BiU was read a third time and passed . The report on the Parochial Debts and Andlt BUI , was received , as was tbat of tbe bill for prohibiting the importation of foreign sheep , on account of tbe disease prevailing among tbem . The sitting of the bouse was then , at three o ' clock , suspended until five o'clock .
On the re-assemblsng ofthe house at five o'clock , an hon . member moved that it be counted , and only thirty members being prcatnt , the house atood adjourned WEDNESDAY , AnansT 16 . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —Tbe house rset at twelve o ' clock . The National Land C want . —Mr Q . Thompson , on the part of the bon . member for Macclesfield , asked tbe bon , member for Nottingham whether be intended to withdraw his friendly Societies Bill for the present session ; whether he Intended to take any farther steps with regard to » registration of the National Land Company ; and whether he purposed to give to the present allottees any title to tbe allotments which tbey now held under the rules and regulations ofthe company , and , if not , what course he Intended to take in reference to those allottees ?
Mr P . O'Conhob said , if tbe hon , member for Micoles . field had read tbe order book of tbe bouse , or the proceedings of the committee , or the resolutions of tbe committee , he weald have had an answer to his first question . From tbe evidence of Mr Laws , the barrister , be would find that no bill coald have been introduced by , 'him ( Mr O'Connor ) wbiob would answer the purpose in view . To tbe second question bis answer was , that if tbe hon . member had consulted the same authorities , and read the evidence ef Mr Lsws , Mr Tldd Pratt , and otters , be weald have knows that it was impossible to take furtber steps witb regard to registration . To the third question his answer was 'Tea , ' He ( Mr O'Connor ) was now engaged using his utmost endeavours for the purpose of divesting the National Land Company of every feature of Illegality ; and be would add , that it was his intention to effect tbe enrolment of tbe company as a benefit society , because he considered it tbe readiest mode of obtaining the object for which it was established .
Noeth Western Railwat . —Mr P . O Cowwoa asked the hon . aad learned Attorney-General whether , in consequence of the dispute which had arisen between tbe managers ofthe North Western Railway and the drivers of the line , those persons who had previously taken season tickets oa that line , and wbo bad , since the dispute in question- proceeded to their respective destinations by posting or otherwise , had any remedy against the company , or any redress or guarantee for redress , for being compelled , either through personal dread or caution , to place themselves in thai situation ? The Attobney-Genebai said , any answer to tbat question , given an tbe moment , would necessarily be unsatisfactory ; more than tbat , it might be positively injurious . To give an answer officially would require great time , to give it professionally wonld require greater . ( Laughter . )
Ublawfol Societies ( Ieelahd ) Bill . —On the motion of Sir G . Obey the Unlawful Societies ( Ireland ) Bill ( brought down from the Lords ) was read a first time . Fobeign Diseased Shmp . —The question efthe third reading of the Sheep Importation Prohibition Bill afforded Lord Geohge Beniihce the opportunity of giving hla Ironical thanke to the government , or the Board of Trade , for tbe first retrograde step made in the matter ef Free Trade , hoping that tbe presint measure would not be tbe last in the direction of protection . Mr L 4 B 9 U 0 HEBE said compliments from the noble lord to the Board of Trade were so rare that if he could honeatly accept them he should be very glad , but he was ignorant that taking precautions against the admission of diseased animals , calculated to spread contagion , had anything to do with tree trade .
Mr Hdme considered there was no retrogression from that principle iu the present measure , but be was at a loss to know bow it was to be carried out so as to prevent diseased animals from being Imported . Mr L & boucdebz replied , by means of the Custom , bonne officers , who would prevent their being landtd . There was another bill , which gave the means of preventing tainted sheep being brought to Market by graziers or others . The house having gone Into a Committee of Supply , and tbe vote for the Foreign Office having been proposed ,
Fobeigh PoLict . —Mr Diseaeli brought under review tbe condition of Italian politics , and our present relations with the Italian States . It had been his laten . tlon to have raised tbe question on tbe vote for the Lord Privy Seal , who had figured in so extraordinary a manner in these transactions ; bat in order to avoid all ap pearance of a personal attack he bad abstained from doing so , and had chosen the vote for the Foreign Office as a fair occasion for his comments . It was well known th * t Lord Mtuto had been on a roving commission to teach politics to a country sadly in want of tbe knowledge , and to advise Sovereigns In adjasttsg their pollileal differences . Her Majesty ' s Ministers' first fear waa that Austria was about to invade Sardinia , and Lord Miato ' s first object was to prevent that invasion . Ho
bad succeeded perfectly , for the only thing that had happened was that Sardinia had invaded Austria . Crossing the Apennines , Lord Minto had then a delicate Begotlatlon to manage with the Pope—a matter of solid difficulty . The result of this-negotiation waa the Dip . lomatic Relations with Rome Bill , brought in with great haste , and , after lying long on the shelf , again about to be brought to light . The union of tbe two Sicilies was the next comm'selon , and it appeared the King of Naples had engaged this peiformer who had been starring It so successfully in the north of Italy . Lord Miato ' s exer turns bad their usual success ; instead of the union oi the Two Sicilies , the total repeal of tho political csnntx . ion between Naples and Sicily followed his perform ancee . Notwithstanding these experiencesthe government
, were , it appeared , about to mediate in the afiairs of Northern Italy , and it was desirable to know eiflCtlj what was the principle and what the motive of the mediatlon , and what end was expected from it . The mediation of this country might bo a political one ; but looking at tho treaties of Vienna atd P * rU , and seeing tbat the Emperor of Austria and the King ef Sardinia were in possession of the territories secured to them mediation would be a nullity . Our mediation might bo a sentimental one , and , If bo , ho hoped tho couu try would resist any such new-fangled and absurd pohoy , as , If adopted , would lead Italy Inte Inextricable confusion . But was the mediation to Be armed « If
so , under tbe existing position of Austria and Sardinia , it would be an invasion , and the armed intrrver . tien of England aad Prance weald be a commencement of war for tbe securing of peace . If the mediat on was to bo a peaceful one , thtre was no chance of its success . Then what was anticipated from this proposed mediation « Would her Majesty ' s governraen establish a kingdom of Lombardy , or a revolutionary Republic , or a Ooaservative Republic , or a red ono , or a white one , at Milan ? The honourable member protested against the proposed joint mediation of England aad France to Northern Italy , whtre there wae no thing to mfidiato . about—a mediation that he believed

was intended merely to show to the world that therg was a cordial co-operation between tbe present govern , ment of France and England . The honourable memberconcluded by warniag the government pgainst an » alliance with Jacobinism , which began with fraternity and ended with assassination ; wbich commenced with professi ns of univsrsal charity , and concluJed with universal spoliation . Lord Palherston said , that the mission of Lord Minto bad been solicited by the several Courts of Italy to which ho had gose ; that it had been intended to forward the progress of civilisation , and improve the condition and happiness of tbe people ; and tho mission had be > n quite successful . The proposed mediation in the north
of Italy waa the result of a desire expressed by Austria at the outset , and repeated within the last three d » v 9 The mutual interest of France and England was to allay the storm tbat had been raging , and to prevent intprnal conflicts from becoming external wars . Enland could not be supposed to have any hostile ' feallru towards Austria , and she was bound to combine with France in endeavouring to put out the sparks of w 9 r wherever they appeared . Tho noble lerd , having replied to many of tho points urged by Mr Disraeli , concluded by paying a high compliment to the civilisation " the moderation , and the peaceful intentions of tbe French , people , and by expressing a confident hope in the preservation ofpeace .
Mr H . Baillie condemned our continual interfe'lnca in the affiirs of other nations , and wished to km * if oar co operation with Franco was the first ster . in the renewal of the cordial understanding with that country . At half-past three the Cbaibhan reported progress and the house adjourned to five o ' clock . At the resumed sitting—Slave Tbade . —On the motion to go into a Committee of Supply , Mr Ubqciiabt moved , as an amendment , ' That from the correspondence laid npon the table in reference to the suppression of the slave trade in Mussulman conn , tries , itappeared tbathtr Msjestj ' a servants had adopted proceedings calculated to aggravate tbe horrors of the traffic , and to alienate from this country tbe good will of the governments and nations so interfered with , * After considerable discussion , ^*^ Mr Ubqohabt ' s motion was negatived without a division .
The House went into Committee ' of Supply , and the discussion on the vote for the Foreign Office was resumed by Mr Bankes , who contended that the house had a right to have a full explanation from the Foreign Se . cretary ofthe circumstances connected with the expulsion of Sir H . Bulwer from Madrid . A debate ensued and continued for a considerable por . tlon of the evening , and terminated bypassing the vote . The Poor law Expenses , Mint Expenses and other votes were then agreed to . The house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock .
