GERMANY . Fraskfobt . — The constituent assembly had a stormy Hitting * n the 7-h , the question of a general amne-ty for political offenders b . ing brought under di cuESion . One of the speakers ( flerrBrentano ) raiEsd a perfect tumult by making a sneering aliu-Eion to the Prince 6 f Prussia . In Tain the vice-president endeavoured to restore order ; not only bis voice bat his bell was drowned in the uproar and the confused cri ° 3 of 'D > wn with the spsaker' ( herxmttr mit dem R : dner ) and ' Go on , go od .

There was another stormy sitting on the 8 th , in consequsxee of the vice-president being called upon to reprimand ilerr Breniano for his dis : rderl f cohduct on the previous day . The tumult rose again to such a bright that the assembly adjourned lor one hour . Whea ths Btetieg was renewed , Uerr Brentaco aseeuded ths tribune , amidst thfe cheers of ths persons as ^ esbled in the pnblic galleries ; whereupon the vice-president ordered ' all strangers' ( inciuding the reporters ) to withdraw . Subsequently the later were allawcd to return , but taa motion to admit the general public wa 3 negatived by 380 to 91 .

We have letters of the 5 : h from our corres pondent at Milan . At two o ' clock on the previous day , the AuBtriana attacked the Iiue 3 in front of the Porta Romana , and than retired . The King withdrew the Khole of the Piedmonte 33 army to the bastions which snrrouadthe city , and established b . i 3 . head . q < iarters ia thi o \ h citadel . At midnight M .

The object of the Consuls wa 3 to demaed time for ths removal of their Nationals , whilst that of the GeaeraU eppsared to bs to prepare a capitulation .
A capitulation was signed on the oth , at the Austrian head-quarters , within the walls of Milan , in the presence of the consols of Fraace and England , in Tirtue of which ths lives and prspertiesof the inhabitants we-e gnaraateed , and forty-eight hours al . laved for the Piedmjutese army to retire bshind the Ticino . Advices from Turin of the 7 th , confirm the news of the eTUOaion of Milan by the Piedmontesa army , in consequence of a capitulatien and the retirement ol tint army beyond the Ticino .
1 SPAU 0 D 3 C 3 SDUCI OP THE SiEBISIlK SIKQ . The S » i « Nawosal Gazette of the 8 : h says , under tbs head of Lugano , the 6 th : Piedmontese refugees who have arrived at Chaas o announce tbat the Pied montese Gsneral , Olivieri , who had seizjd on all the power at Milan in ths name of Charles Albert , had pa : an end to the measure ? of defence of the Republican Committee , declaring that the communications in the interior of the city , where barricades were baing raised , should remain free , ia order that the artillery should not mest with any obstacle . He added that ths- king would deliver bittle outside the town . © .=. the evening of the 4 th the advanced guard of the Austria . ! - ! appeared befora the Roman gate ; the ; ¦ were received with cannon shots , and driven back to
Malignano . The Italians made 200 prisoners and took two pieces of eannan . This advantage so much encouraged tha Italians , that they declared traitors to their country whoever should speak of capitulation . But Charles Aibert was of a different opinion , as io ibe night of the 4 : h , he capitulated , ou the following conditions : —That the Piedmontese army should re' ire ; that Hfc and property Ehould be secured to the inhabitants . The people then revolted , and a number of buildings outside the walisi which might impede ina defence , weie demolished . In the morning of the 5 th , tbs eaeray did not appear . Suspicions were conceived ; a crowd collected ia froet of Charles Albert ' s hotel ; and ha declared from his balcony that the capitulation had been refused by Radefzky , and that he wou'd 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 , ia
fary , wanted to Eeiza on Charles Albert . The men in attendance on him were cut to piece 3 ; Ciiarles Albert , on his aide , had the people fired oa by ths F . edmontese , asd two of the inhibitantg were killed . O ' - ber inhabitants declared in favour of the capitulation , and were killed . The people wonld not submit . Csanes A Ibert had the cannon reamed from the walls .

wa 3 despatched yesterday by est ifette , and I prepared my letter for the U 3 ual hour to day , in the tope that a similar exertion will ba made by M . Boppis , the intellisent director of the post . The persons near Charles Aibart are not famous for keeping seoretB which do not immediately touch their private in terests , and therefore you will not be surprised to lean that within a few minutes of the answer of the King accepting the terms of Marshal Radetzky being sent off , the whole oamp was in possession of the fact . The exaitament bec&me great , and aa Eoon 89 the ref = ort 3 were confirmed hy the departure of some of the household troops , and of many of th 9 Royal equipages in the direction of Turin , it amounted almost to dej-Deration . Group 3 fljw through all the streets erclaiming . 'We aro sold , 'We are betrayed ; ' the drums of the National Guard beat to arms , and Een with muskets on their shoulders , ran from place to p iano willing to do mischief , but not knowing where tobsdn
. .... The most violent collected in the square of the Scala theatre , and in tho Corsia da Giardmo , before the Cafa G ^ eppi , in which the King was lodged ; and there Sadies several carriages prepared for the journe \ \ thev at once cut the harness , withdrew the h-wss and overturned the equipages themselves . This was accompanied by most insulting expressions against them , bat not against the Piedmontfw ; ana taernhtwaatho distinction taken , that the oftcers and dra ? oons that formed the escort of the carriages were compelled to dismount , and thy were embraced hy the people with she cries of ' Long live the Piedmontese army , bui death to tae traitor Charles Albert ! ' Oae of the officers , a major , 1 am tea , t jou 'h I can scarcely believe the fact , so far joined in thi 3 demosfetration aa to tear off his own epaulette and declare , that as the honour of Piedmont whs lost
be would no longer continue in the service . Excteroations of the sume nature were heard from officers of various ranks among the crowd , but it was difficult in tho confus ; un to ascertain whether they wore Saidini'sn or Lombard uniforms . A body of National Gaarda at last tock possession of the Casa Greppi , in plain language , car . atituting the King a prisoner ; and . a ? I am assured , several filled the rooms leadm , ' to the royal apartments , loudiy declaring , that come what mi ^ ut , Charles Albert should noc depart . At tiie a ° . ine time , emissariea were despatched to ihs several eatts , and lanp bodies of National Guards , assisted by an unarmed mob , abiolutaly barred egress or ingress . The gates leading towards Tunnwere blockaded and barricaded , and , with the most vio . ent denunciations , the people declared that the traitor should cot cass that way .
. ... In the mean time the criea for an explanation becsrae so violent at the Casa Greppi , that a generil officer , accompanied by tw > i others , appeared on the balcony of tbat psiace , and read a paper to the effect , ' that the King Charles Albert had come to the de r % nce of the city of Milan at tha request of its inhabitants , and that the honour ot the Italian army was fully vindicated in the combat of the preceding day . The army , wanting ammunition , was no longer able to sustain its positions , and it w& 8 necesaary to with , draw it fo ? the present bshind the Tessin . Its devo . tion to Italy eould not ba doubted , and it would soon a ^ ain r eturn to servo the common casae . The city of Milan would receive no injury , aa dua care had been taken by the King to recommend it to the hamanitv 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 the Traitor ! ' ' We are sold ! ' ' We are betrayed ! ' were heard at every aide . The tumult being a little subsided , the only two peraens te ' onging to ths late Provisional Government , Gen . Pnapeo Letta and the Abbe Aunani , who have nst abandoned tke people , drew up a psper to the following effect , which they first read to the crowd , and then eent it in to the Kiog : — ' We , the only two members of the goreenment who remain at oat po 3 ts , 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 raost urgent manner entreat your Majaaty to give US some explanation on this important matter . ' I
presume that these gentlemen were called to the presence of the King , for in balfan-hour afterwards both appeared in the square , and read a declaration of this sature— ' The Kicg has assured U 3 oh his word and honour , and he offers his life as a Guarantee , that he will fight with the force of the whole army to the last moment . ' This declaration calmed in some degree the violence ol 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 was taken off in corjs : quecc : 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 not partake that opinion , and they were seen on one side strengtheninsthe barricidesand apparently
preparing for a resolute defence . The day and afternoon passed in this manner ; but at nightfall the tumult became so violent , Gear the Kina ' a tesidence that the Dake of Genoa came to the balcony , and requested the people to abstain from such angrj and violent demonstrations , as his Majesty was much indisposed , aad earnestly desired a little rest . The amiable and eallanfc prince was received with a volley of hiseea the kiDg was again called a traitor , acd he a deceiver . The duke declared that he and his father were determined to fuht to the last , but even this did not satisfy , aad he withdrew amid cries of 1 Death to the Traitor I ' Death to the Impostor !' Several houses in the suburbs were set on fire , and the horrors of the situation were increased by the city beiag overhung for several hours of the night bv a . canopy of flams .
At this period the Archbishop of Milan , and the temporary Podests , went out to the head quarters of Field-Marshal Radefzky , for the purptsa of informing him of tbe true state of affairs within the city . At five this marniag , when I was oh 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 that the King and the Duke of Grnoa have escaped . About three o ' clock this
morning an officer attached to the family brought np several pieces of flying artillery , charged with blank cartridge ouly , 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 poisession of ths ground , and in a few minutes , everythiBg-having b =. en prepared , Cnarles Albert and the Dake of Genoa had cleared the walls-Toe Piedmontege trcopa at the same moment commenced to defile ; and at this hour the whale are en their assigned routes to Piedmont .
I am sorry to hear thBt several shots were fired at the king at tbe moment of his departure ; and though he and the Dake of Geneva escaped , some of the Buite were wounded . This is a sad denouement to a romance which began so auspiciously ; but it must ba 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 of the penp ' e having exceeded all legal bounds .
ENIEY OF THE AUSTHIANS . We have received a short letter dated the 7 th inst . from our correspondent in the city 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 ths rosd to Turin . On Sunday , the 6 th , the Austrian army , very strong , and in the finest orde-, entered the city , and in a few hours civil and military occupation was established . The utmost silence prevailed during the passage of the troop 3 through the Corsoand principal etreets , The
city hBB been deserted by all the nobility , many of the better families , and by an immense majority of thepaople . On the morning of the 7 th a proclamation appeared , Bigned by Field-Marshal Radetzk y , declaring tfee city and province of Lombardy in a state of eie ? e , stating that all offences against good order wculd be tried by martial law , and nominating the Prince Schwarfz ^ nburg military governor of Milan . The greatest order prevail , both on the part of the Austrian trcopg and the Milanese people . Not an offinaive word is uttered on either side .
The following are the terms of the capitulation , figned on the 5 ' . h of August by the Quartermaster-General of the Army , Paulo , Bassi Podesta of Milan , and General Conde Salasoo , chief of the staff : — 1 . Tha city of Milan shkll not belojured . 2 . As far as it depends on his Excellency the Field-Manbal , he promises to maintain , with reBptct to tbe past , all the indulgence that equity demands , 3 . The retnrn of tbe Sardinian army shall bo divided into two dajs mnrch as had been agreed on with the S « rd : n an General * . 4 . His eicelleacy give * free exit to all persons wishing to leave tho city by tbe road to Magenta ( to Turin ) up to eight o ' clock to-morrow oight , 5 . —Tho Field-Marshal is to hare the occupation of ths Porta Romana at sight to-morrow morning , and the free entrance cf tho eraiy for tho occupation of the cltj at noon . 6 . The transport of slok aad wounded shall be made In two days .
T . All these conditions are to bo accepted by hit U : j = » ty tha King of Sardinia . 8 . The Field-Harchal demands the Immediate liberation of a ' . l the gen rals , officers , and Austrian employes at present in Milan . Milv , An enst 8— The most jto ' ound tranquillity prevails here ; so profound that it more resembles the silence of the grave than tbe repose of a great city . Still , tho Austrian soldiers are restrained by the moat perfect discipline , and the streets aie deserted ; not becausa the troops are disorderly , but becaasa the great majority of citizens have fled , and the few who remain are Unwilling to leave their house ? .
The above is from the Times . In the Daily News it is stated that tbe beautiful Faafcour ^ of St Got bard , forming tbe richest and moat magnificent quarter of the oipital , the inhabitants of which had all fled , was delivered up to tbe ravage and pillage of the Austrian soldiery , and completely destroyed . The loss of property in that quarter waa said to . be fifty millions-According te letters from Italy of the 8 ih , Chutes

Albert had established his head quarters at Vigevano . By other accounts wo learn that Marshal Radotzky is proceeding with great severity at Milan . Martial law ha 9 been proclaimed ; a levy has been ordered of all ths men capable of carrying arms , between the age of eighteen and forty-five yeara . All persons who have fled frosi Lombardy are called upon to retnrn within eight days , under the penalty of tbe confisca tion of their property * The consternation occasioned by the rjsvMof tho rapid and brilliant successes of tho Austrian arm 3 in the ciffdrent 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 over-fluctuating hopes of tho Italians .
Letters from Rome of the 4 th August represent matters as assuming daily a more unfavourable and cheerless posicioD , Tbe Chamber of Deputies at Rome has voted an address to the Parliaments of Tuscany , Sardinia , and NapleB , in order that they may all oncert together for the safety of Italy . A letter from Rome , addressed to the Univers , says : — 1 We are in a state of csKplete anarchy : at the moment at which I write to you , it is said that tho Civic Guarda are making common cause with tho hero 2 sof Vicenzi and the other factions ; that they have rejected and trampled under foot the PontiSca ! cockade , < tc , God only kuows what lie re 3 erve 3 for Rome . M my persons are taking measures for putling themselves out of danger , and already haveaeveral of ihe Cardinala who were most threatened left the oity .
ENTRANCE OP THE AUBTRIAKS INTO FERRARA . A telegraphic dispatch has beer received in Paris from the French Ambassador at Rime , dated the 9 : h , to the following effect : —The entry of the AugtrianB into Ferrara Ij csnfirmod . They have disarmed the National Guard and the Papal troops . The following day they marched to Bjtegna , which thay wou'd have reached by the 8 th . thg Austrian commander has issued a proclamation , in which he declares that the Austrian army has entered the Roman States for the purpose of re establishing tn « authority of the Pope , ia ft conservative eouao , and according < o the treaty of Vienna . .

It appears that on the afternoon of the 8 ; h , the Austrian General Welden having levied a heavy contribution upon Bologna , and demanded hostages for the payment and for the Bubjectjon of the Bologne ^ e , the people rote , and tho tocain was sounded . A conflict ensued , and tho Auatrians were driven out of the oity , Subsequently tha Austr / ans bombarded the town , and set ) is on fire in several places ; the Bologaese again attacked them , and drove them from their position .

The political prisoners still remain incarcerated . The sob of the late Spanish ambassador has baan ordered to qait Portugal . The northern provinces are in so excited a state that disturbances are expeotcd every day ; while in the northern garrisons nu merous desertions have taken place . Gas has 1 ) 26 n introduced into the streets of Lisbon .
DANUBIAN PROVINCES . According to accounts received by the Dibits , the Russians had not yet entered Wallachia , and the Turkish troops were stationed along the frontier aa if with the intention of opposing their passage , a situation which is full of danger . The Russians claim a right of interference , grounded upon a letter written by Rifaat Pacha , which the Turks deny . The French and Prussian Consuls at Jassy had protested against the entry of the Russians into Moldavia aa a ( kerjt&t violation of treaties . At Bucharest the
revolutionary party had acquired thei r advantages through a popular movement that took place on the 12 . h , and the old members of the provisional government were recalled . Suoh was the situation en the 15 ; h . The Porte had concentrated an army of 35 . 000 men , composed of tae best troops , and had placed them under the command of Eumer Pacha , the conqueror of Albania and of Kurdistan . The last news from Serbia announces that a body of 8 , 000 had orosaed ths frontier to join their brother Sclaviaas , who were combating the Magyars .
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . By the arrival of the royal mail steam-ship Hibernia , 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 complaint ? , 6 aye a New York paper , reach us from the American manufacturiBg districts . Cotton and woollea manufactories , as well as iron works , are stopping w irk in every direction in consequence of tbe ruinous competition of the English . Th 4 se disasters , acting upon the public mind , bid fair to produce important changes in our rates of duty on European manufactures .

There was * ' 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'Dogherty , Williams , and others , and to take measures to meat tha crisis at hand for Ireland . This meeting was called by Mr Robert Emmett , chairman of the association ; but he was not preBenfc . About 2 , 000 persona attended—all , or nearly all , Irish . Mr Greely was in the chair , and Messrs D 3 yle , Lynch , White , Robinson , Moonoy , and Michael T . O'Connor were the speakers . Some of the speeches were violent enough A aeries ofreaelutions cecsurin R the British government were passed . A meetiBg on Irish union and trattrnisation was held in New York , on the 27 th . Robert E ^ imett , chairman : and on the 23 -h there was also a meeting of the ' New York American League for Ireland .
The Naw York Hebald of July 81 st , says , that 1 subsciptions are pouring into the coffers of the Irish provisional committee , at a rate which is hardly credible— 60 , 000 dollars it is oenfidently asserted , will be transmitted by the steam-ship which will sail from this city on Wednesday next . ' The only other news of political interest is the statement now received in an authentio shape of a battle , or rather succession of skirmishes near Guansjatoin Mexico , between Bustamente commanding the government forces , and Paredes with Jerante at the head of the revolters . The victory is claimed for both Bides .

MONDAY , Apgust li . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Royal assent was given , by commission to a great number of publio Bad private bills . SOPTBESSIOK OF THE CtOB 9 Itf IaKLiMD . —Tho Lo&t > £ nflNO Ei . i . oBhavlng mnved the committal of the UalavrfalOitas Acts ( Ireland ) Continuance and Amendment BUI , The Earl of Sbbewsbosy rose to ask what were tbe intentions of tho government with respect to their future policy in Ireland , more especially with regard to the adoption of remedial measures for tbat oountry . Such measures had been recommended by Humorous parliameotary committees and rayal commissions , by utatlstl . cal and PoliticBlIwrttera , for these twenty years , solicited
for hy almost every grand jury in the couatry , earneBtlj Insisted on by Lord John Russell as btiog necessary ic 18 ** , 184 e / and at otii&f periods , yet up to tho prescnl hour they exlstod oaly in idea , none of them having been carried into eff < sot . The noble earl said there was one grievanc a existing in Iroland which was greater , but fat mere difficult to deal with than tho rest , viz , thoestab . lished churah . RalijjlouB dlatlnc ' . lona were the bam and enrso of th « empire , and were the primary cause oi ull tho mlagovtrnment of Ireland . He hud no hostility to the establishment , but cure he wig that Us recon . struction would be produc'lre of advantage to both uhurches , and tend to the bentfit of the nation at large , aud without a settlement of that question tho Euauoipa . lion Act bscamo moroly a measure of toleration .
Tho Marquis of LaHflDowNE regarded tho Bill btfaw tho house in the strictest as wall as the largest aen % e , as a remedial measure . To ensure the peace of Ireland , and to establish tho security of life and property in tbat country , was tho first thing necessary . Until the sapre . micy of the law and the power ef tho government toput down the organised tyrannj exercised in Ireland should bo uudo munifoat , it would be useless to attempt to introduce measures with tho view of inducing persons to invest cap ital iu Ireland . During the last half century there had pravailed in tbe Imperial parliament one constant endeavour to improve tho state and coudition of Ireland , O ; hcr measure * than thoso brought forward had bai n contemplated , but had been dclayod by the rebellion which had unfortunately broken out ; but when paaco , law , and order were restored , then the considuration of those measures would be resumed , and would engage , ha was confident , the beBt and moBt amiouo attention of both house !) of parliament .
Tha Duke of W bllirotoh supported the bill , as tbe co-jipiement of the measure * proposed by the government for tho purpose of putting down rebellion . He knew something of military affiirs , and he had no hesitation in saying that this bill was absolutely accessary , and that it should be carried into esecutloa with tho greatest activity . After a few observations from the E * rl of DreiBT , Lord Rcdebbale , and the Marquis of Clanbicabde ; , Tbe bill passed through committeo , an amendment moved by Lord Glenoall , having been withdrawn . Pahliahentabi Eleciobs Bill . —Lord Beaumont , in omiDg the aecoud reading , explained that the ofjece of this bill , which had beon Bent up from tha other house , was not practically to interfere with , but to carry out , the rate-paying clauses of the It-. form Bill , The provisions of tbe Reform Act which made tae rig tit to vote depend on the payment , before the 20 th of Jaly , of the
rates and toxes due In the previous April , operated in numerous instances to disfranchise psrsone perfectly solvent , and is every other respect qualified to vote , and who bad omitted paving tbe rates and taxes , net from an inability to pay , or neglect of their own , but from tbe neglect of the collector , who , being often a persan of strong political bias , managed by omitting to call on those clictora who entertained opposite views to his own , to , infla-3 r . ee the register by keeping out their uasaen . By the present bill it was propesed to leave the teat of tbe right to vote , the payment of rates and taxes , but to require the payment , before the 20 th of July , of the amojnt dua up to the Octobsr instead ef tbe April preoeding . This would prevent a practical abuse which was now muoh complained of , nnd would opeu the register to come of the most wealthy and respectable householders , who vtere now too often improperly excluded . It was not proposed that th » bill should come into operation far a year .
After eeme discussion the bill was read a second time . Their lordships adjourned at & quarter past nine . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock . London and Nobth We'Teen Railway . —Mr Thobhlet roan and s » ld—I am aware that it is net ia aceord . anoe with the usual practice to put questions at the early sittings of the houBe , but seeing my hon . frieadthe mem . bar for Kendal and chairman of the North Western Railway Company In his place , I will take the liberty oi asking him whethtr 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 Bafety of the public . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr Gii * N replied—I am extremely obliged to ray hon , friend f jr giving me this opportunity of answering his question , and I regret tbat I was absent from tbe house on Friday , when a similar question was put to the right hon . gentleman the President of tha Board of Trade by the hon . member for L > omlnster ( Mr Barkly . ) I have now the satisfaction of being able to Inform my hen . friend and tbe bouse , that every provision has been made for tho proper working of the trains on the London and North Western Railway . ( Hoar , he&r . ) A very cons ' - dsrable number of the old engine drivers and assistants have returned to their duty , and with toe experienced men whom we hare been able to eecure from other lino of railway , every train will henceforth from this morn . Ing bs worked by men as competent and efficient as those who have left the company ' s service , ( Hear , hear . ) The Turnpike Acts Continuance BUI , the Poor Law Union Districts School Bill , the Money Order Department Post Office Bill , and the Boroughs Incorporation Bill were read a third time and psssed .
The Militia Pay Bill and the Parochial Debt and Audit Bill passed through committee . The report « f the Steam Navigation Bill was received . After about an hour ' s sitting the house adjourned to five o ' clook , ScrraEsszD CoBBBsroNDBNCE . —On the motion to go into a Committee of Supply , Lord O . Bemtinck 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 of the omitted correspondence between the Provincial Secretary of Canada and the Secretary to the Montreal Board of Tnde , and would direct that the eama be laid before tho boose ,
Lord J . Russell otijected to the nutlon , on the ground that ic would imply a oensuro on Lord Elgin and Kmoi&mNE ; but he had no objection to tbe production of tbe paper refemd to , and the Under Secretary of the Colonies would take ( he first opportunity to move that it ba laid on the table . With this assurance be expressed a hope that tho Noblo Lord would allow his motion to be negatived , and tho House to go Into Commltto of Supply , The motion was put and negatived without a division . The house then went Into Committee of Supply on the miscellaneous estimates , wtlch occupied the remaluder of the sitting . In the course of the discussion the Chancellor of the Exoheqoe * anneuneed that Lord Shhburne , in pursuance of the recommendation of tbo Committee on Expenditure , had resigned his office a * one of the Lords of the Treasury , and that it won not tho Intention of the Government to fill up tho racancy .
A conversation of some length took place as to the expenses ol building the New Houses of Parliament , which induced the following observation from Mr O'Conno * : Sir , this is a question of taxation—a question upon which Her Maja 6 ty ' a mlnlstersbave evinced the greatest delicacy , as well as thoso gentlemen by whom they are surrounded , who always express themselves most tenderly upon the subject of taxes sr funds estractad from the pockets of the working classes . And as tho house was fond of precedent , he ( Mr O'Conuo *) would call tbelr attention to a recent inquiry into the eipmdlture of the faaie of th 9 poor ; and following tbat precedent , If no other member undertook the task , ho would consider it to bo his duty to move for the appointment of a Seleot Committeo , Io inquire into ths expenditure of the'peopleVraoney , as well as ( or an accountant to examine- the accounts , and he wonld propose the Judge-Advooate as chairman of that committee , and no doubt they weuld have a critical and heneit report .
[ If it was , we fear that the new buildings , which were originally OBtimated Bt £ 700 , 000 , and which it is bow admitted will not bi finished for two millions sterling , would not stand the ordeal so well as tho affairs of the National Land Company and the buildings upon Its estatea . l A Erototty of £ 2 , 600 ., given by ihs Government without the sanction of Parlisment . to Sir C . Tbeveltan , tho permanent Assistant Secretary of the Treasury , for his eitra services in carryin ? into operation tho relief measures for Ireland , was the Bubjecl of animadversion ds a very bad precedent .
Mr B . Osbobne did not at all object to the salaries paid to ministers . It was Btnnll enough for the anxiety tfeoy underwent and arduous duties they had to perform ; but he ' must object to thonumber oftheLords of iheTreasury , whoso ohief business was to make a houss and listen to tha debates Ho complaiasd of the payment of £ 2 530 to Sir G . Trevelyan for extra labour in tbo csueo of th « Irish relief fund , His service was under 10 years , and in addition to his salary and this sum of £ 2 , 500 pocketmoney , paid be knew not out of what fund , he bad been made a K . C B . It might be said that the labsura he had to perform were very heavy ; but the same miuht be said of several other situations when those who filled ihtra Hi not receive 6 d . bejond their salary . ( Hear , hear ) .
The Chancellor of tha Excbeqdeb said that tbls was a particular and exceptional case , in which a gra Uilty was onl y deemed reasonable and just at a mark of approbation of the extraordinary exertions made and al . moBt Incessant labours which wero uodergemo by Sir C . Trevelyan . The minute of the Treasury by which tbe gratuity was ordered would appear in the civil contiogeooles , . Mr Disbasli , while roadily acknowledging the greet services rendered by thio gentleman , could not forget tbat the Order of the B * th iiad been ceoforred upon him —a reward bestowod as far cervices which ooald not ba paidferbj a pecuniary . grant .

I £ 2 , 500 was surely conceived in rather bad taste ; and a preuxchevalier , liko Sir O . Trevelyan , bearing his blushing honours ( a laugh ) , mig ht well bs supposed to recoil from receiving en extra year ' s salary , Mr Gl 4 d « tond condemned the conduct of the Gavernmant in this matter . It was thera duty « o have submittei a vote to the house ; not to have taken on them , selves to reward a public servant . The particular pay . ment to SlrC , Trevolyin w&a not even mentioned in « ha estimates befora the committee . All that the estimates stated was that £ 1 , 046 trero required on aoaoust of , services performed in connexion vrlth the distress in Scotland and Ireland , Who could suppose that a single charge to the amount of £ 2 , 500 was included in what . appoared to be an aggregate of small Items ? ( Qeor . ) If It had not been for the hon : member for Middles ** the : house would havj known nothing of the matter .
| The occupants at the ministerial bench defended the Irregular aad unjustifiable course they had adapted , hy referring to the eervlo-s of the officer , to whom they had granted the gratuity . j Mr Ocbobhz wished to recall tho committee to the question before it . A sum of money had been given to offioers of the Treasury without the consent ' of Parlia-; ment—a oourao which no minister ivsi justified iu pur . eulng . Ha was In tho hands of tho house whether he should toko a division on the question now or wait til ! 1 the vote for civil contingencies . | Ultimately he postponed tatting a division until the civil contingencies were before tho house . After taking : number of votes the house resumed , ! Lord J . Russell gave notice that he would po on j with a Committee of Sapply at twelve o ' clock on Wed . ' nesday , that on Thursday the Diplomats Relations with tho Court of Rome Bill would be proceeded with , and that he would not move the third reading of the Sugar Duties Bill before Monday next . ' The Commons Inolosure Act Amendment Bill was
read a second time ! The Sheep , < 5 ic , Importation Prohibition BUI , nnd 1 tho Sbe p , Ac , Contagious Plswders Prevention Bill wero pasted through Committee . ! The other orders were disposed of , and tho house adjourn . d at two o ' clock . TUESDAY , AnonsT 1 G . I HOUSE OP LORDS . — The Constabulary Force ( Ireland ) Bill and the Parliamentary Elections Bill , i were eewnlly passed through committee . I Fddlic Health Bill , —Lord Cahfbell movod tbat tho house should not insist upon somu of Its amendments to the Public Health Bill , which bad been objected to I by tho House of Commons , or the bill , which still conta ' ned some valuable principles , must be lost for another year .
The Birl of Ellenbobogqh , though objecting to man ; of the amendments of the House of C Mnmons , be . causi they gave a power of jobbing t ) tbe local boardi , would , nevertheless , not give an excuse to the House of Commons for depriving tho public of the advantages the bill even yet contained . A short conversation ensuod , after which the motion of Lord Cimpboll was agreed to . The Unlawful Oaths Acts ( Ireland ) Bill was read a third time end passed . Several bills on tho table were forwarded a stage , and their lerdBhlps anjouraed .
THE HOUSE OP COMMONS . —The house met at twelve o ' clock . The morning sitting was principally ccoupied in Committee on tbe Renewable Lfa ebold Conversion ( Ireland ) Bill , wbioh was not gone through , when the Chairman reported progress and obtained leave to sit again . The Steam Navigation Bill was read a third time and pasBed , The report on the Parochial Debts and Audit Bill , was received , as wan that of the bill for prohibiting the Importation of foreign sheep , on account of the disease prevailing am jng them . The sitting of the house was then , at three o ' clock , suspended until five o ' clock . On the re-asBemblsng of the bouse at five o ' clock , en boo , member moved tbat it be counted , and only thirty members boing prissnt , the hoDie stood adjourned WEDNESDAY AdoustIS . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The house tset at twelve ft eleck .
The National Land C mpaht . —Mr G . Thompson , on the part of the hon . member for MaccleBUeld , asked the hon , member for Nottingham whether he intended to withdraw his friendly Societies Bill for tbe present session ; whether he intended to take any farther steps with regard to a registration of the National Land Com . pan ; ; sad whether he purposed to give to ths present allottees any title to the allotments which they now held under the ruleB and regulations of tho company , and , if not , what course he intended to take in reference to those allottee 11
Mr F , O'Conhob said , if tho hon , member for Maoolesfield had read the order book of the house , or tbe proceedings of the committee , or the resolutions of tbe committee , he weu ! d have had an answer to hla first question . From the evidence ef Mr Laws , the barrister , he would find thatno bill could have been introduced by , 'him ( Mr O'Connor ) whloh would answer the purpose In view . To the second question his answer was , that if the hon member had consulted the same authorities , and read the evidence ef Mr Liws , Mr Tidd Pratt , and others , he weuld have known that it wob impossible to take further steps with regard to registration , To the third question his answer was ' Y « s . ' He ( Mr O'Connor ) was now en gaged using his utmost endeavours for the purpose of divesting the National Land Compaay of ever ; feature of Illegality ; and he would add , that it was his intention to effeot the enrolment of the cempany as a benefit society , because he oensidcred It the readiest mode of obtaining the object for whloh it wag established .
Nobth Webtebh Railway , —Mr P . O'Conhob askti the hon . and learned Attorney-General whether , inconsequence of the dispute which had arisen between the manngers of the North Western Railway and the drivers of the line , those persons who had previously taken season tickets oa that line , and who had , 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 ia that situation ? The Attobnbt-Genebal said , any answer to that question , given en tbe moment , would necossarlly be unsatisfactory ; more than that , it might be positively injurious . To give an answer officially would require great time , to give it prefessionally would require greater , ( Laughter . )
Unlawful Societies ( Iceland ) Bill . —On the motion of Sir 6 . Gset tbe Unlawful Societies ( Ireland ) Bill ( brought down from tbe Lords ) was read a first time . Foreign Diseased Sdeip . —The question ef the third reading of the Sheep Importation Prohibition Bill afforded Lird Geobqe Bentinck the opportunity of giving his Ironical thanks to the government , or the Board of Trade , for the first retrograde Btep made In the matter ef Free Trade , hoping that the present measure would not be tbe last in the direction of protection . Mr LiBaocHEBE said compliments from the noble lord to the Board of Trade were so rare that If he coald honestly acosp t them he should be very glad , but he was ignerant that taking precautions against the admission of diseased animals , calculated to spread contagion , bad anything to do with free trade .
Mr Home considered there was no retrogresiion from that priBciple in the present measure , but he was at a loss to know how it was to be carried out so as to prevent diseased animals from being imported , Mr LiBoDCHEttE replied , by means of the Customhouse officers , who would prevent their being landed . There was another bill , which gave the meant of preventing tainted sheep being brought to market by grazlara or others . The houso having gone into a Committeo of Supply , and the vote for the Foreign Office having been pro . posed .
Fobeisn Polict . . —Mr Disbaeli brought uudor review the cendition of Italian politics , and our present reltttlOQB with tho Italian States . It had been his intention to have ralsad the question on the vote for the Lord Privy Seal , who had figured In so extraordinary a manner in theso transactions ; but in order to avoid all ap peerancs of a personal attack he had abstained from doing eo , and bad chosen tbe vote for the Foreign Office as a fair occasion for bis comments . It was well known that Lord Minto bad boen on a roving commission to teach politics to a country sadly in want of tbe knowledge , and to advise Sovereigns in adjusting their political differences . Her Mijesty ' g Ministers' first fear was that Austria was about to invade Sardinia , nnd Lird Minto's first otjsot was to provent that invasion . Ho
h& 4 succeeded perfectly , for the onlj thing that had happened was that Sardinia bad invaded Austria . Crorsing tha Apennines , Lord Minto had then a dolica ' . o negotiation to manage with the Pope—a matter of solid difficulty . The result of this negotiation was the Diplomatic Relations with Rome Bill , brought in with great haste , and , after lying long on the shtlf , agkin about to be brought to light . Tks union of the two Sicilies was the next roaim ' ss ' . on , and it appeared the King of Naples had engaged this performer who had been starring It so successfully in the north of Italy . Lord Minto ' * exer tions bad their usual success ; instead of the union oi the Two Sicilies , the total repeal of the political cannexion between Naples nnd Sk-ily followed his perform aaces . Notwithstanding thtse experiences , the
government were , it appeared , about to mediate iu the aSiira of Northern Italy , and it was desirable to know exactly what was the principle and what tho motive of tbe me . dlstfon , nod wbftt end wbb espicted from it , Tne me . dlation of this country might be a political one ; but looking at the treaties of Vienna aud Paris , and seeiog that tho Emperer of Austria aud the King ef Sardinia were In possession of the territories secured to them , mediation would be a nullity . Our mediation might bj a sentimental one , and , if so , ho hoped the coun try would resist any such new-fangled and absurd policy , as , If adopted , wou'd lead Ital y lnt » iuextrlcible confusion . But was tbe mediation to ko armed ? If
b \ under the existing position of Austria and Sardinia , it would be an invasion , and tho armed inttrvertisn of England aad Franco wculd be a commencement of war for the securing of peeoo . If the mediation was to bo a peaceful one , thtre was no chance cf Its » uccees . Then what was antlo ' pated from this proposed mediation ? Would her Mojesty ' s govirnraen establish a kingdom of Lpnibnrdy , or a revolutionary Republic , or a Conservative Republio , or a redone , or a white one at Milan ? Tbe honourable member protested against thepropoied joint mediation of England aad France io Northern Italy , where there was no thing to mediate abaut-ra mediation that be believed
