Continental Nott2s. The Frknch Loan.—Tho...
miblic auction some of the properties of Sardinian fttibjects -which were sequestrated in contravention of ^ f litting treaties in 1853 , and to institute a process otfginst the members of the Provisional Government of 1848 at Milan , some of whom are also naturalised attbjecta of Sardinia , for the amount left in the public treasury by the Austrian authorities , although , at the treaty ot peace between Austria and Sardinia , August C , 1849 it * agreed by the first . separate and additional article that the Sardinian Government is to be responsible for all the damages suffered by Austria iii the wur then concluded . As a faint merfns of reconciling the Italian people to these fresh evidences of Imperial
despotism , the Central Congregations" are to be convoked . These Congregations consist of two deputies from each province—one a noble and one a plebeian—and one deputy for each royal town . But the Imperial Government reserves to itself so great an influence in the selection of these representatives , that they become little better than instruments of despotism ; and they are not likely to lead to any pacific settlement of Austro-Italian difficulties , or to initiate any satin factory progress . The Verona Gazette emphaWcally denies that the Austrian army of Italy is to be increased ; but the fact is asserted by the official Vienna papers , and tho Times Correspondent says he has the most positive assurances of its truth .
The convent question in Italy is leading to some difficulties . The Genoa t . ' orricre Aftrcaniile , of the 24 th , announces that the authorities had on that day taken forced possession of tho female convents , and concluded the inventories of their property , and that on the next day they were to expropriate the monks . They everywhere experienced resistance , and it was with the . greatest difficulty they could procure witnesses to sign the inventories . In several localities , no inhabitant could be prevailed upon to ailix his signature to the documents . A small CarlLst band crossed the Spanish frontier about the 16 th or 17 th of July , but they were speedily routed , seven being killed , and four taken prisoners . —Order has been completely restored at Badajoz , and the National Guards who joined the rioters have been disarmed .
The Spanish Government has despatched to Koine a document , in which the lare act for the salt- of ecclesiastical property is defended . According to the version given by a writer from Spain , it is asserted that that part of tho act which refers to the distribution of benefices is based on the Concordat , which also permits the sale ^ of the property of the secular clergy ; and that -the history of Spain shows that these sales have taken place at dUFcxcnt previous epochs , without any objection on the part of the Pope * . Having awarded the clergy in the late budget 170 , 000 , 000 reals , the Government denies that it has abandoned-them , or offended religion . Marshal O'Donnell has assumed the command of the
third battalion of the Spanish National Guard , and has delivered a speech in favour of liberty and of the throne . He was loudly applauded . The recent change <> f ministry in Hanover ha . " arisen Oat of the struggle that has now been going on for some . years between the reactionary aristocratical party and tile representatives , of the people ; tho object of thut Struggle being the liberal constitution extorted by the masses in 1 H-18 , and which the Diet now seeks to abrogate altogether , after a gnat many vexatious attempts to " modify it in tho spirit of oligarchy . The new minuitry is said to bo still more inclined to a reactionary policy than the one ju .- > t dismUsvd ; and the king , who njltO be its President , is greatly inclined to abet it Iii any fresh assault upon the rights <> f the democracy .
The National Council <> f Switzerland , in its sitting of the 21 th of July , adopted by a large majority the conclusion of the committee appointed to examine the report of the Government relative to enlistment . This conclusion is us follows : — " The Federal Council i ^ calhtd upon to put in force tho federal laws which forbid the enlistment of tho inhabitants of Switzerland for foreign service . " The Uoyd , published at Pesth , reports the death of Alexander ( Jhiku , formerly reigning prince of W'ull . ichia . Tfow prmoo died at Toopfiz , in Iioheini .-i , ami will be bttriod at Bucharest .

Miscella Ne Ous. The Royal Agricultural ...
MISCELLA NE OUS . The Royal Agricultural Society had its annual dinner at Carlisle on Thursday week . Mr . Miles , M . P . » was in the chair , and Sir James Graham was the chief speaker . The Wreck of the John . —Edward Rawle , master of the John , the emigrant ship which was wrecked on the Manacles in the course of last May , was tried at Bodmin on Saturday for the manslaughter of Eliza Hallett . The object of the prosecution was to show that the master had not taken proper precautions to avoid the accident , and that , after it occurred , he was very negligent , and left the passengers to their fate . The jury , however , did not think these charges fully borne out by the evidence , and therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Some degree of surprise has been created , at this decision , since some of the witnesses deposed to finding Captain ltawle asleep and drunk in kLs cabin at the time of the accident . Mr . Di'kfv . —It is now asserted by Mr . Duffy ' s own friends that he intends to retire from Parliament . Sir Benjamin Hall was on Saturday re-elected 4 br Marylebone without opposition . In the course of his speech , he defended the policy of Lord Paltnerston in connexion with the war , and asked— " Have you read those despatches which bear the name of Lord Clarendon ? If you have , you must be well aware that they could never have been sent forth from the Foreign-office without having received the sanction of the First Lord of the Treasury . Is there a passage in those despatches which shows indecision of character , or anything but a strong determination to carry out the will of the people ? " - —Lord Kbrington took occasion to defend the course he had pursued with respect to the Sunday Trading Bill ; but he was met with cries of "Go to church ! " " Get shaved ! " & c . Antiquarian Loss . — Intelligence has just reached London of the almost total loss of the fine collection of antiquities which the agents of the French Government have been employed fur some years past in bringing together from the various ruins of Assyria and Babylonia , for deposit in the Museum of the Louvre . This collection consisted of all the antiquities found at Kborsibad and Ximrod during the last four years — namely , one colossal pair of bulls , several statues of the Assyrian gods , a series of bas-reliefs , a very large collection of inscribed bricks , cylinders , and tablets , a sot of iron implements , ivory and gold ornament ? , and numerous other objects of art . They were lost by the upsetting of a boat going down the river to Uassorah , and lie in about five fathoms of water , without any hope of their being recovered . It is some consolation to know that M . Place has secured photographs of the Khorsabad marbles , while those at Koyunjik have been sketched by the British Museum artist , Mr . Boutcher ; and that Colonel Kawlinson h : is brought home with kirn copies of the lost inscriptions . From the Roman States , the reports of the vineyard are most discouraging : but the disease has not as yet manifested itself in other parts of Italy to any very serious extent .

Ix reply to several questions , Lord Pan . muku contradicted the report of the assassination of General Beatson ; and stated that the recruiting for the Foreign Legion at Heligoland was proceeding with success , ami the number of men enlLstod was 10 , 000 infantry , and 2000 cavalry . TllK Tl'ltKISJI LOAN 1 UT . I .. The Karl of Kumcnhouoxhsh objected to the guarantee declaring his preference for a direct subsidy . Ho proceeded to criticise . th' ! whole course and conduct of tho war , and commented upon tho new arrangements that had been effected in the administration vC tho Wur Department . Lord Panmckk at length replied to each section of tho noble . Kail ' s criticism , vindicating especially tho conduct of his own deimrtinont . The bill was then rend : » second time after some further discussion . Several other bills wcrei forwarded a stage , and the House adjourned « t a quarter to eight . The Hou . so sat at 12 o ' clock , and during tho morning hitting the Report of the Committee of Supply was agreed to .
_ _ . _ The Lunatic Asylums ( Ireland ) Advances Hill passed through Committee , aid diil The Public Health Act Continuance Hill , Tho iJiaonses Prevention Hill , and tho ( Iritnuiico Hoard Hill . The Houho resumed its evening Hitting at ( 5 o ' clock . MOI , l > nCU * IN TI 1 K OAIXICUY OH" THIS 1 IOUS 1 C . Colonel Noktii complained that orders for tho gallery of tho House , given by him to a soldier of Artillery and
one of the 17 th . Lancers , who had both been in the Crimea , was refused by . the doorkeepers , and asked whether there was any rule to prevent such gallant men from appearing in the Strangers' Gallery . Lord Palmekston said there was a . rule against persons who were armed being admitted into the House , but he did not know that it applied to soldiers in uniform without arms , and he appealed to the Speaker with regard to the rule . The Speaker said he could see no objection to soldiers in uniform , but unarmed , being admitted ; but the officers of the House were right in the present instance , for a rale against the admission of soldiers in uniform had been established hi time gone by , and had never been rescinded . If it was the wish of the House he would give directions that such persons should not hi future be refused admission . Assenting cheers followed this declaration of the Speaker . THE MAS 3 ACRE OS" THE COAST OF AFRICA . Mr . Bright urged on the Government the adoption of measures to prevent such occurrences as that which had reeently taken place on the coast of Africa . Lord Palmxrston said the matter was under consideration , and proper steps would be taken in the matter . THE APPROPRIATION BILL . This bill , which is always the foreraaner ot the prorogation by seven or eight days only , was brought in . aad read a first time amidst chesrs . THE V 1 ESSA CONFERENCES . ' Mr . Laixg- then brought forward his promised motion ¦ with regard to the Vienna Conferences ; He contended at great length that there had been no discussion yet on the subject , that hitherto the Government had misinformed the House with regard to the result of the Conference- , anl th . it the responsibility of rejecting a proposition which , was agreed to as satisfactory by the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Powers rested with Lord PulmerstoD . wiio had recommenced tha war under a new phase , aad one in which England and France had no longer the sympathies of Europe with them . He urged that the . system of equipoise between the forces of Russia and the Allies in the Black Sea was preferable to the limitation of the forces of Russia , inasmuch as it was a more practicable state of things . The whole speech of th' - honourable gentleman was an elaborate defence of tha policy of accepting the last terms of peace suggested by Austria . Sir G . Grey urged that the House already had all the information it required , and protested against the asking for confidential communications between England and France , argued that no safe or honourable peace could have been concluded on the principle of counterpoise , denied that a system of limitation constituted the only alternative solution , and that Austria had ever pledged herself to go to war on the rejection of any proposal that was made . Mr . Gladstone argued that the negotiations had not been clearly ami fairly stated b } - Sir George Grey . He pressed the responsibility which the Government had incurred by the rejection of the Austrian proposals . He insisted on the necessity of resistiug the aggressive tendencies of Russia by the moral union of Europe , which lie declared had been sacrificed by the policy of the Government . Mr . Latakd followed in defence of the war . Mr . Goudkn next spoke , and used such strong language with regard to Sir W . Molesworth , tliat that gentleman replied in equally strong terms , and with this personal altercation the debate practically ended , for the proceedings of tho night were cut short by Mr . Brothkrton ' s moving the adjournment of tho House at half-past two , which was carried .

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT . ¦ We believe we are correct in stating that her Majesty will not prorogue Parliament in person . It is not prohablo that her Majesty will visit London before her departure for Pnris , and it is most likely that sho will proceed direct from Oaborno to Boulogne on the 17 th . We believe that tho Karl of Clarendon will be the Secretary-of-State in attendance on her Majesty on tho occasion . — Globe .
