Mr . T . Duncombe presented a petition yesterday from the Society of the Friends of Italy , praying that iteps might be taken by her Majesty to prevent the continued occupation of Rome by the French troops . We learn by private correspondence from Paris that a note was on Thursday communicated to the Austrian from the Papal Government . It requests the Austrian Government to obtain the consent of France and England to the substitution of Austrian and Neapolitan troops for the Frrnch in Rome ; and if this negotiation
fniIs these troops are to advance on Rome in such * manner as to give to the French a pretext for retreating on Civita Vecchia . The note uluo requests Austria to insist strongly on the expulsion of the refugees from England (!) or at least to dernund that a strict surveillance he niitinuined , which in the present state of things the Papal Government cannot itself demand ; and , it in added , that they know perfectly in Rome that the " loan" hag succeeded . Ought not Palmcrstou to be looked after under tmch pircumstancea ? The Friends of luly mu » t keep their eye on him .

BIRTHS , MARRIAGES , AND DEATHS .

The event of yesterday , in the House of Commons , was the attempt of Mr . Alderman Salomons to take his seat for the borough of Greenwich .
The House was extremely full , and a shindy expected , as it was . known that Mr . Salomons would make every effort to take his seat . Mr . Salomons appeared at the bar , supported by Sir Benjamin Hall and Mr . John Abel Smith , soon after four o ' clock . He was called to the table to be sworn , and he demanded to take the oaths upon the Old Testament . " The Speaker : Will the honourable member state why he asks to be sworn on the Old Testament ? " Mr . Alderman Salomons : Because it is binding on my conscience . ( ' Hear , hear , ' from the Ministerial side of the Hotise . ) _ _ __ ¦
. . . " The honourable member then took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy in the prescribed form , covering his head as he kissed the Old Testament , in the manner followed by members of the Jewish persuasion . He also repeated the terms of the oath of abjuration from the beginning to the end , with the excepti < ra of the . words ' on the true faith of a Christian . ' " The Clerk ( to the Speaker ) : Sir , the honourable member has not repeated the words ' on the true faith of a Christian . ' The Speaker : The honourable member having omitted to repeat these words , it is my duty to inform him that he must retire to below the bar . "
As the Alderman did not obey the direction of the Speaker , a storm of shouts arose , which did honour to the lungs of the saintly party . Amidst this tempest of cries , Mr . Alderman Salomons atterr . pted to read a paper which he held in his hand , but ever } word was drowned by the vehement cries of " Order , " and " Withdraw . " When he had read , he laid it on the table , and took a seat on the Ministerial benches next to Sir William Molesworth , the shouts of " Order" and " Withdraw" still ringing through the House . He rose , however , and attempted to address the House , but the storm of voices again put him down . The Speaker then requested him to retire , in obedience to the rules of the House . He bowed , and after " lingering u little above the bar , " was conducted below it by Mr . J . A . Smith .
Sir Benjamin Hall then said he was requested by the honourable member to tell the Speaker and the House that he withdrew from the seat he lately occupied—( loud laughter from the Opposition)—in deference to tho Speaker ' s high authority in pronouncing the orders of the House ; but ho was also requested to state—At this moment , Mr . Salomons , who had been gradually edging nearer and nearer to thntinvisible barrier called the Bur , had puesed it , and Sir Frederick Thesioeh , taking advantage of this , rose to " order , " pointing out that the Aldjerman was still within the House . Hereupon the Sveakkr a second time requested Mr . Salomons to withdraw ; he complied , and was conducted to tho scats usually occupied by the peers .
Sir Benjamin Hall proceeded to explain the inclining of the turbulent scene which had just been enucted . He utntcd , on the part of Mr . Alderman Salomons , thut the only object lhat gentleman hud in view in going through the forms was to try his legal right to his sent . And Sir Benjamin usked the Chancellor of the Exchequer ( Lord John Russell being nbticnt ) whether mifliciciit had been done upon which to found a proHCCtiiion of Mr . Salomons ( and , if HuHicicnt had not been done , thut gentleman would
tuke his Heat Hgrtin ) , and whether or not Minister * would instruct the Attomey-Uenernl to prosecute ? But , owing to the absence of Lord John Russell , no Hatinfiictory answer could be given by the Chancellor of tho Exchequer , who proposed to adjourn further proceedings until Monday . Sir Benjamin Hall concurred , but Mr . T . DuNooMius wished to know what wan the question before the House . How could they adjourn f Somebody must move something . The Chancellor ol tho ExuiiKttUKit huid a question had been asked , and it was eimply postponed until
Monday . Sir Frederick Thesigbr did not understand what they would be called upon to discuss on Monday . He then intimated that Mr . Salomons beyond ' a doubt was utterly incapable of taking his seat ; that last year a " great mistake" was made in the course , pursued in Baron Rothschild ' s case ; that he had gone carefully over the precedents , and had concluded that , as there was no difference whatever between , the oaths of allegiance and supremacy and the oath of abjuration , if any member refused to take " the oaths his seat was void , and that a new writ ought to issue .
Here Mr . Bernal Osbornb rose to order , and asked whether Sir Frederick was strictly in order if he did not conclude with a motion ? The Speaker assumed that he would conclude with a motion * and Sit Frederick , turning upon Mi . Osborne , said : — " I beg leave , then , being instigated by the honourable member for Middlesex ,, to move that the Speaker be directed to issue his warrant for the election of a member for the borough of Greenwich , in the room of Alderman Salomons , who had refused to take the oath of abjuration in the form prescribed . ( Loud and prolonged cheers from the Opposition benches . )"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer expressing his surprise at this course , Sir Frederick rejoined that he had only adopted it , as Mr . Osborne seemed to think it necessary he should conclude" with a motion . And he was going on to speak , when Mr . Anstet called him to order . Amidst another burst of triumphant cheering , the Speaker said Sir Frederick was in order , as he had a right to reply . After the motion was withdrawn this scene continued . " Mr . Osbornb asked if it was the intention of the honourable and learned gentleman to move his motion again on Monday ?
41 Sir F . Thesiger : I am afraid if I answer the honourable gentleman , he will consider me out of order ( Triumphant cheering from the Opposition bencAes . ) * ' Mr . Osborne again rose , and , being met with cries of « Order , ' asked the Speaker to state what was the question before the House ? " The Speaker ( with imperturbable gravity ) : The question before the House is , the consideration of the amendments made by the Lords- in the Killarney Junction Railway Bill . ( Loud laughter . )"
In the Committee of Supply yesterday various sums were voted . The Regium Donum was carried by 115 to 43 . Colonel Sibthorp , as usual , made some absurd and ludicrous remarks upon the vote for the expenses of the Royal Commissioners of the Exposition . He said it was a " gross fraud , " raised Up—by whom ? for what purpose ( laughter ) ?—a little popularity to certain individuals —to one great personage , fed , clothed by this country [ the House received the remark with freezing silence ] , who had helped to
bring unsuspecting people up from the country , who would not be able to pay their bills when they returned . A division took place on an amendment moved by Mr . Williams to reduce the Miscellaneous Estimates by £ 6107 , a sum including various expenses of the royal family . The amendment was negatived by G 9 to 43 . The vote of the sum required to pay the Royal Commissioners was on a division carried by 81 to 33 . The Miscellaneous Estimates were ultimately agreed to .
