Belgium *—The usual . « July fetes" hava been proceeding in Belgium during the * past week mth great SU Mr ? S LAYAW » an » CoNsnrOTSNTa . —Mr .-Layar-d met his- constituents on Wednesday evening , at Ayleaburv His ? remarks had reference chiefly to the peace , which he regarded as unsatisfactory , and attributed the imperfect result of the war to the indecent haste of the French Emperor and people to come to terms with the Czar . Russiai , he believed , would not , as had been anticipated , resort : to a , peaceful and honest policy ; on the contrary , she had already violated the treaty by destroying the forts of Kars , Ismail , and Rem , and by cruelly treating the Tartars in revenge for their assistance to us , Passing on to the consideration of the AnKlo-Prench alliance , he said our present position as regards France is utterly unworthy of this country . No man was more anxious than he for a French alliance formed on an equal basis ; but he would never consent to that alliance if the condition was a sacrifice of the interest or the honour of England . Our position at this moment with regard to France he thought exceedingly dancerous , and unless we took care it would lead us into ( Treat difficulty . He admired the Emperor of the French as much as any man , but he could not sympathize with the form of government he had introduced . Atter glancing at the general condition of Europe , he alluded to the appointment of the Duke of Cambridge to the command in chief of the army , of which he highly approved ; and urged the constituencies to press on Parliament the necessity for Administrative Reform . A vote of confidence in Mr . Layard wos carried unanimously , with much cheering . A Faithless " Fast Man . " —An action for breach ot promise of marriage has been tried at Exeter . The plaintiff was a Miss Mary Ann Cooper , the daughter of a silk-mercer at Plymouth ; the defendant , a certain George S . Trader , a person of landed property . He appeared to be very much in love with the young lady , and wrote to her letters of passionate affection ; but all the while he was in the habit of flirting with other ladies , and would tantalize Miss Cooper by writing to her details of the attentions paid him by them—such as their applying poultices and fomentations to his ankle when he had sprained that part of his person . A married lady friend cribed as the one of the best singers he ever heard in private , and as a persons -who quite labours to please him . He professed to be very religious ; yet he said it was not " a part of his creed" to go to church , and that he made Sunday " a day of rejoicing . " In one letter , he wrote , " I wish we were married . Cheer , girl , cheer ! write , girl , write ! " In another , he said : " I shall send you your portrait . Rejoiced am I that I am going to have a good one—too pretty it cannot be . Mary , you know you are pretty . Girls always know . Oh , you little rogue ! I want a kiss very badly . I send you one inside the portrait . Qou won ' t see it , of course ; but send one back tho same way . " Finally , he broke off the match , on the ground that the young lady was jealous , but offered her money compensation for the music she had learnt on his account . A verdict was given for Miss Cooper ; damages 200 ? ., less C > 0 / . paid into court . Crystal Palace . —Return of admissions for six days ending Friday , July 25 th , 1856 : —number admitted , including season ticket holders , 62 , 158 . Frome Election . —Major Boyle ( Whig ) has beeu returned for Fronie by a bare majority of one over Mr . Nichol ( Liberal ) ; tho numbers being , respectively , 157 —168 .

Leader Office, Saturday, July 2g. Last N...
Leader Office , Saturday , July 2 G . LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT . THE HOUSE OF LORDS . SevkuAL bills were advanced a stage . A motion of Lord St . Vincent , impugning Lord Comliermcro for certain conduct with reference to tho cane of Mr . Dyco Sombre , was brought forward , but nothing came of it . The Commons' Amendments to tho Lands anf > Skjtlki > Estatich Bill , which was intended to prevent the enclosure of Ilampatead Heath , was rejected on a division , when the numbers were equal—seventeen Peers voted on each side .
The House adjourned at a quarter past seven . THE HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE U 1 UMIDAN INliUIHY . Mr . La yard brought forward the subject of tho report of tho Crimean inquiry at Chelsea , complaining that it had been laid on tho table too late in tlio session , and chnracterized it as very unsatisfactory . Ho asked if tho Government were satisfied with it , and whether they thought it did justice to tho army which had suuercd so much . —Lord Palmkuston said tho question was an unuaual one , an it only asked for an opinion . The board of general officers was to inquire into tho report of the Crimean Commissioners , and to rooeivo explanations from certain officers inculpated in that report . If the l » on . gentleman had read the evidence , ho could form an opinion for himself . It was not the intention of tho Govorniuuut to take any further stops in tho matter . —After
¦ ^ ==== a ^^ B—' some unimportant question had been put sOaA- announced * I one or two bills were forwarded & stage * The Bishops of London and Durham Retirement Btaci , -VTO 3 read a third time and passedl I SUMMARY OF" THE SESSIO 2 T . Mr . Dbsrajbxi then rose to bring forward * motion calling on the House to consider th » manner in which the business of Parliament had been conducted during the session . He deprecated the notion of his being about to make a party motion ; but his object was only to initiate a discussion which might bring out some suggestion which could be made available in the recess for finding a remedy for the existing state of things ; He referred to his having made a similar motion in 1848 , and stated that his object in bringing forward his present motion was to endeavour to ascertain the reasons for that mode of conducting public business , which in the last two months had caused so much dissatisfaction in the country . He urged that no Minister ought to take up a subject of agitation unless he felt that he could deal with it satisfactorily . There might be reasons for excusing a Government in not bringing forward questions of importance , such , as there being no need of legislation , the country being at war , or negotiations for peace being in the course of settlement ; but none of these excuses were available to Lord Palmerston . He had introduced more measures of consequence than any Minister ever did in a session . Mr . Disraeli then proceeded to remind the House of some of the measures brought before Parliament—as , the ApellaAe Jurisdiction of the House of Lords , the Law of Partnership , of Divorce and Marriage , the Law relating to the Discipline of the Church , Testamentary Jurisdiction , Police , the Corporation of London , Education , Criminal Appropriation of Trust-Property , Civil Service Superan nuatioo , and Agricultural Statistics—questions which involved the very principles of social life . He referred to the special recommendations in the speech from the Throne of a series of measures . But how had they been dealt ¦ with ? He criticized the bill on the change of the mercantile law which had been proposed , but not introduced , by the Government . The measure improving the Law of Partnership , after lingering from the 25 th of February to the end of July , was abandoned . A . similar fate awaited the attempts to improve the Poor Law . The Irish executive had been equally unsuccessful . Mr . Disraeli then touched on the various bills of importance which had been lost or withdrawn during the session , and asked if that was a satisfactory state of things . The ri ^ ht honourable gentleman then drew a picture at leugth ° of the state of the Government , urging that Lord Palmerston had not the real support of the Liberals ; but had carried what measures had been brought to a successful termination more by means of the Opposition than by his own friends . Lord Palmekston vindicated his course of proceeding , alleging , as the main ground of his many failures , the necessity in a representative Government of imbuing the country with the advisability of measures by continued efforts , and showing that slow progress in reform is inseparable from our institutions . He showed that for general measures of importance the Government had actually had only twenty-two days during the session , and he urged that the members of the Government had manifested the greatest personal assiduity in tho conduct of the business of the House . He also urged that , notwithstanding some minor defeats , on all great occasions when real confidence in the Government was at issue , they had had larger majorities in their favour than had been enjoyed by any previous Ministries . A short discussion followed , and the House adjourned early .

The Session Of 1856. Pa.Bi-Iairi!T«Rr Ra...
THE SESSION OF 1856 . PA . Bi-iAiri ! T « rr raet in January , and has sat , in talkative imbecility , until the end of July—for we may treat it as virtually adjourned . It has attempted nothing sincerely , and has done nothing well . It has displayed no independence , yet its leaders have displayed no power . Whatever Xord Pai / merstok has done mischievously and recklessly , he has not been called to account for ; whatever his Cabinet has proposed to do in the direction of reform , has been , in nearly every instance , prohibited by an adverse majority , or abandoned , or delayed until it became impossible . The Prime Minister , the flatterer of French Imperialism , has aimed , without attempting to conceal his object , at reducing the influence by degrading the character of Parliament - r and lie has succeeded . The nation has not interested itselt in one legislative debate during the past session . And not one legislative debate has been high in tone , or serious in intention * There have been criminatory motions , by bidders for place ; but they have been mere parliamentary manoeuvres . There have been discussions on America , on Italy , on the rights of nations ; but the discussion on America was faint and paltry , that on Italy was like the rising of a damp mist , that on the prerogative of journalism in Belgium was the least respectable of all , because it exhibited the British House of Commons apologizing to foreign governments for the existence of a free British press . The ministerial speech at the opening ot Parliament promised little , evaded all great topics , and was as insignificant as a ministerial speech could be . Still , it announced . « . .-M ^ nnii-MACf as-vm A "nTinfflnlftS OT fLdrHlUlS "" wim \ —

It said that the Government were prepared to improve the Limited Inability Act of last session , to reform the Commercial Law of Scotland , to suppress local and passing dues on shipping . What became ol these good intentions ? A little sectional clamour " put down" tho Cabinet proposal with respect to local and passing dues ; the Limited Liability Amendments were carried through , both Houses mutilated and incomplete ; the Commercial Law of Scotland stands where it did . Nothing was said of Kara , of America , of the principles of pence , of political or adiniiiiatrativ-o , city and railway reform , of education , or of church-rates . But those subjects vfero treated in separate debates , upon issues raised by ministerial , opposition , or independent members . . How were they treated ? and with what result ? Tho full of Kara gave occasion to 1 tho Tories to submit a factious resolution ol censure , which the Liberals refused to rccog-; niae , and which was rejected by an overpowcring majority . Tho American debate , alter > " many postponements , failed to elicit tho real r intentions of tho Government , and ended by [ leaving that Government carte Manche to embroil us irrevocably with tho United
