HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, JuLy 4. I In reply to an inquiry by Mr. James, Lord Palmerston repeated what he had already stated- that, considering the lateness of the year, it was not the intention of Her Majesty's Government to propose a mea- sure this session to amend the representation of the people in Parliament. The Law of Property and Trustees Relief amendment Bill was read a second time. Mr. M. Milnes obtained leave to bring in a Bill to remove doubts as to the qualification of persens holding diplomatic pensions to ait in Paaliament. The motion was agreed to. Mi. Dunlop obtained leave to bring in a bill to afford facili- ties for the more certain ascertainment of the law administered in one part of Her Majesty's dominions when pleaded iu the courts of another part thereof; and Mr. Lowe a Bill to make perpetual the Public Health Act (1858). Mr. S. Herbert moved for a Select Committee to inquire into effects of the alterations in military organization regarding the War-office and Board of Ordance which were made in the year 1855; and also to inquire whether any changes are required to secure the utmost efficiency and I economy in the adminstration of military affairs. Mr. Horsman suggested whether, at so late a period it worth while to appoint the committee. Mr. S. Herbert thought some beneficial progress might be made in so large a subject. Mr. Disraeli was of opinion, on the contrary that very little advantage would be obtained by the appointment of the committee, and that greater progresr would be made if it were deferied until next session. Lord Palmerston hoped that the House would not lose what remained of the present session. The motion was agreed to. TUESDAY, JULY 5. In reply to a question put by Mr. Torrens, Sir C. Wood stated his inability to say that any practical steps had been taken to effect the formation of a permanent local army in Bengal, or that any levies had bell discon- tinued or disbanded. In answer to Mr. Vansittart, Sir. Charles said, that some degree of excitement had prevailed among the late East India Company's European troops, who had advanced claims which were deemed un- founded, and that investigation of the subject was going on. To an inquiry by Mr. Baxter, The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that the atten- tion of the Government had been called to the contract entered into with the Atlantic Steam Navigation Company to carry the mails between Galway and the United States, but they had not arrived at any conclusion as to whether it was advisable that the contract should be cancelled but they thought it very desirable that the whole subject of these contracts, which had grown imperceptibly into a system, should be brought under the view of the House of Commons and he gave notice that on Thursday he should move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire and report their opinion as to the rules to be observed by the Govern- ment in making such contracts. Mr. Ayrton, after some preliminary observations, with- drew his motion for a select committee to inquire into the operation and administration of the Poor Laws. Mr. Gregory moved for a select committee to inquire into the arrangements under which Mr. C. H. Ryland was in- duced to resign the patent office of Clerk of the Council in Canada. Upon a division the motion was negatived by 23.-5 to 20. Colonel W. Patten obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable railway companies to settle their differences with other companies by arbitration. Mr. Collier moved for leave to bring in a Bill limiting the power of imprisonment for small debts exercised by the County Court judges. He observed that this power was ex- tended by these judges beyond the limits prescribed to the superior courts; they imprisoned as a mere punishment, which did not operate to the extinguishment of a debt, and for non-appearance only, contrary to what he believed to have been the intention of the Legislature, which, he thought, meant that imprisonment should be inflicted only in cases of fraud. He stated the numbers of persons who had been committed for not appearing, and that in one case an individual had been imprisoned eight times for the same debt. He proposed to confine the County Court judges to the limits which he believed the Legislature intended, by enacting that they should not imprison any one merely for for non-appearance without being satisfied that the party had contracted the debt by fraud, nr had means to pay and refused; and it a defendant refused to appear, that the case should be proved against him in his absence. He proposed also to limit the term of imprisonment. Leave was given to introduce the Bill. Mr Palk moved a resolution that the House will upon Tuesday resolve itself into a committee to ctnsider of an address to Her Majesty to give directions that the necessary arms, accoutrements, and ammunition be furnished to Volun- teer Rifle Corps under the provisions of the Act 44 George III., c 54, as well as to Artillery Corps in maratime towns, lie pointed out the necessity of the measures of defence he recommended, and pronounced the plan proposed by the Government wholly unsatisfactory. He thought the country had a right to demand that, under all circumstances, our coasts should be rendered safe against sudden attacks. The motirn was seconded by Captain Jervis, who insisted upon the importance of clothing the Volunteer Corps, so that, in case of their turning out, they might be recognised by the enemy as troops. Mr. H. Berkeley thought all that was wanted was to teach the use and praotice of the rifle, and that the movement, with the arms and the clothing, should emanate from the Government. Colonel Dickson hoped the house would hesitate before they gave too great an encouragement to Rifle Corps, and that the Government would confine themselves to the forma- tion of Artillery Corps in maritime towns. Lord H. Vane concuired in this opinion, aud thought means should be taken to bring to bear on the coast large forces, by railways, adequate to meet an enemy, which would be a more effectual defence than a volunteer force. Mr. W. E. Duncombe differed from both the preceding speakers, believing that the country was anxious to carry on the movement. He thought that the rules applied to Volun- teer Corps in large towns were not applicable to small country districts, where only companies should be formed. Mr. Brisco suggested that the Government should make up their minds whether these Volunteer Corps should be a temporary or permanent force. General Peel explained the views of the late Government, and the measures taken by them, in consequence, he said, of numerous applications for permission to raise Rifle Corps without expense to the State. He agreed that Artillery Corps "ere to be especially encouraged, which afforded the best possible defence. Although he had no dread of inva- sion, we ought to be prepared, and the best thing, in his opinion, was to decide what fortifieations were absolutely necessary and to complete them as soon as possible. Lord Elclio was of opinion that the volunteer system would be a useful adjunct to the regular army, and would utilize for defensive purposes the services of a large and intelligent class now perfectly worthless owing to their not being trained to arms. The valuj of volunteer corps was shown by Gari- baldi's force. Mr. S. Herbert considered that the discussion had been a very useful one. In reply to Mr. Briscoe's suggestion, he "aid, if the movement should turn out succcssful, he saw no reason why the system should not be permanent. Govern- ment, he said, were most anxious to promote these corps, believing that, as auxiliaries, they would be most useful. Mr. Hadfield obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable serjeants, barristers-at-law, attorneys, and solicitors to prac. tise in the High Court of Admiralty. Mr. Wrigbtson moved for leave to introduce a Bill to alter and amend the £ ct 6th Anne, cap. 7, with respect to vacating seate in Parliament on acceptance of office. Mr. A. Smith opposed the motion, observing that a great principle was involved in the question, and pointing out the constitutional evils that might result from any alteration of the existing law. Mr. Ingham supported the motion, which was negatived upon a division by 53 to 51. Mr. Alcock moved an address to Her Majesty to issue a Royal Commission to inquire into and report as to the b.st means of abolishing the tolls on the turnpike roads and bridges in England and Wale-. He represented the bond debt of the roads as 15,236,000, and the annual amount of the tolls as £ 1,024,000, but he insisted that the amount actually levied was ?1,500,000; and he suggested WV" bond ?ebt might be reduced to about £ £ ^3,00000 0,000000, aannHd the roadis kept in repair, without tolls on passengers, by local rates. Sir U Lewis said the question was of considerable im- ?-?'??.'? P?P°?ion of Mr. Alcock was one to which it wnR im 0SS 1 1 to assent without further grounds than he ha assigned. He pointed out various objections to tin. qTira>intm < a Commission, which took for granted that- it- Jaa dpair^t abolish tolls on turnpike roads-a nrinrinlP whirhfh in a condi-    J?6' observed, was not in a condi- tinn tfFudnnt if w Alcock could point out any means by wu: I f0iis mi*_hf k ? °*ished, and a substitute provided, he could embdy hIS plan in the shape of a Bill. could embodv hi bria' ? in a Bill for the  n-"n f tt- s The motion woabs tained ?tpa? ?t? .? a few remarks ?"?r'"°-' leave to introduce a Bill for the more effectual preservation and increase of the breed of o.a?hnon ?and 6sh of the salmon kind and for the better regulating the fisheries in the rivers of England U?Hel North moved a lfsolution, That this House will this day resolve itself into a committee to consider of an address to Her Majesty, to grant the half-pay of £ 400 a-year unattached pay, to certain General officers who obtained promotion upon half-pay unuer the provisions of the General Order of April 23, lp26, who have since become General jfficers and are now receiving only the half-pay of their regimental rank." Mr. S. Herbert was sorry he could not accede to the motion, observing that Colonel North had not understood be original order, tILt nature and operation of which he -xplftiued. General Peel dissented from tho yiow of the question ta- sen by Mr. Herbert, Upca a divieku, the motion 7i'lj u6 £ 4tiveJ by id to Z1. Sir W. Somerville moved that the House resolve itsell into a committee in order to bring in a Bill to amend an Act passed in the tenth year of King George IV., entitled An Act for the Relief of His Majesty's Roman Catholic sub- jects He proposed, be said, to repeal so much of the Act of 1829 as prohibited Roman Catholic from filling the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, a prohibition, he contended, whieh was founded upon a mistake and misapprehension, the Lord Chancellor having no church patronage to distri- bute. The motion was seconded by Mr. P. Urquhart. Sir G. Lewis cordially gave his assent to the motion, and agreed that, at the iutro luction of the Bill ill 1829, tlure peared to have been a misconception on the part of Sir U. Peel as to the nature of the functions of the Irish Lord Chancellor. The motion, after a few words from Sir B. Bridges, was agreed to, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. WEDNESDAY, JULY 6. Mr. Dillwyn moved the second reading of the Endo.wed Schools Bill, the object of which was that no endowed school should be assumed to be established for the Church of Eng- land exclusi vely unless it should appear from the instrument by which it was founded that such was the express intention ot the founder. He disclaimed all intention of making any attack on the Church of England, his only object being to give some protection to the dissenters. Sir S. Northcote said the measure was one which created much alarm, it being regaided more as an aggressive than as a protective bill. He believed the bill would give rise to a large amount of very mischieveus litigation, and he there- fore moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day three months. Mr. Puller seconded the amendment, believing that it was an attack on the Established Church. Sir R. Bethell supported the second reading of the bill. Sir H. Cairns supported the amendment, contending that the bill did not at all meet the only grievance which the dissenters had a right to complain of. Mr. Mellor said the language of the bill was ambiguous, but he did not think that a sufficient reason for rejecting it, as it might be amended in committee. Sir G. C. Lewis suggested the withdrawal of the bill and the reference of the matter to a select committee. Mr. A. Mills and Sir E. Perry supported the second reading. Mr. Walpole would support the suggestion of Sir G. C. Lewis but if Mr. Dillwyn would not consent to that ar- rangement he must oppose a bill which was mischievous in principle, and would not at all touch the only grievance which it professed to remove. Mr. J. Walter advocated the propriety of adopting the suggestion of Sir G. C. Lewis. Mr. Bright thought the bill might be made a good one in committee. lie commented on the discrepancy which prevailed on the ministerial bench, where somebody differed from somebody else, and hoped his hon. friend would divide the house and see if the Cabinet would, at this first great division vote on different sides of the oaiiie question. He could hardly conceive that a Government professing to be Liberal would vote against the measure. Sir G. Grey doubted 4f the bill would carry out its own object, but he would support it if pressed to a second reading. Lord J. Manners said that if on a division the word "now" should be negatived, he would be prepared to support a motion for referring the bill to a select com- mittee. Mr. Gladstone could not see in the bill the elements of a party difference, and all were so nearly unanimous as to hnding a remedy for the grievance complained of that they shJ ould not present to the public tho appearance of disagree- ment. He therefore advocated the suggestion of Sir G. C. Lewis. Mr. Henley was willing to accept the suggestion of Sir G. C. LT ewi.s, but could not vote without inquiry in favour of the principle of the measure as it now stood. Mr. Dillywn said he was desirous of testing the principle whether churchmen and disenters were to be placed on the "?tm efo otin and he was also desirous of testing whether e pr in ipe was to be recognised by the Government, and he would there ,ore press his motion to a division. I he house then divided, and the second reading of the bill was carried by a majority of 210 to 192. Sir G. C. Lewis having moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. Mr. Ditlwyn asked if the Government would under- take that the bill should pass this session ? Sir G. C. Lewis said the bill would be in the hands of the committee to deal with it as it might think proper. Mr. Coningham said the principle of the bill was such as the Liberal party could accept no compromise upon. After some conversation, the debate was adjourned until this day.

THE CORN TRADE. THE CORN TRADE. London Corn Exchange, Wednesday. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were very limited but we had bulk of Monday's supply on offrr. The trade was in a most inactive, state, and, in some instances, prices were a shade lower than last week. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Mi Ilers generally purchased with extreme caution, and the quota- tions with difficulty supported. In floating cargoes very little was passing. We have"to report a slow inquiry for barley aud malt at late currencies. Oats-the show of which was only moderate-sold slowly, but at full quotations. Beans and peas were almost nominal in pricc. The flour trade was in a most inactive state. In prices, however, no change took place. ARRIVALS. Euglish. Irish.

We have much pleasure in stating that Lord Palmerston has appointed Mr. Fleming, for many years Assistant- Secretary of the Poor Law Board, to the office of permanent Secretary, in the room of Lord Devon, resigned.—Tunes. A suicide occurred at Cork on Fri lay evening under more than usually horrifying circumstances. A married young woman, in a fit of mental aberration, caused by grief for the loss of a much-loved child, threw herself out of a window 40 feet from the ground. Her mother, who had followed, suc- ceeded in seizing her by the hair, when, as she was thus 'napended, a man faom a window below caught her by the feet. At ? same moment the mother had to leave b  f hno?ld t the body swung over, and also fell from the gy 0 the person below, descending to a railing underneath, whero the wretched woman was impaled, meeting instantaneous death. An abstract of the navy estimates is published with the Parliamentary papers. The original estimate for 1859 60 amounted to £ 10,804,000. The supplementary estimate is 11 877 000, making a total of £ 12,682,000. of which I ±<VSH,W0 has already been voted, and £ 6,370,000 has yet to be erantef by Parliament. The principal items of the supplemantary estimate relate to the payment of 8,000 addi- tioal seamen and 2,000 additional marines, with £ 100,000 for a volunteer reserve force of seamen in pursuance of the recommendation of the Royal Commission on manning the iNavj-, and £ 645,000 for building and repair of ships. A Cracked Commandment.—We heard a suggestive expression related the other day of a vi ry little girl, who was taken by her mother into a shop where a tempting basket of oranges stood exposed for sale. While her mother was engaged in another part of the room, the little one feasted her eyes on the fruit, and nursed the temptation in her heart till it grew too strong to be resisted, and she hid one of the, oronges under her apron, and walked quickly away. But conscience remonstrated so strongly that, after a little reflection, she walked as quickly back, and as slyly replaced the orange in the basket. Again the forbidden fruit, out of her possession, presented its tempting side, and again she yielded. After a sharper conflict than before, conscience gained a second victory, and the almost stolen orange was again taken and finally restored. With a sad- dened countenance she walked home with her mother, and, when they were alone, burst into tears, exclaiming, "Oh! mother, I cracked one of the Commandments I didn't break it- indeed I didn t .break it, mothev-quite-but I'm sure I cracked it," — American Paper, DEATH or Bishop MALT)iY.-We have to record the death of the Right He v. Dr. Maltby, late Lord Bishop of Durham. The right rev. prelate, who was born in 1770, was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he graduated B A. 1792, M.A. 1794, B.D. 1401, and D.D. 1806 He gained the prize medals for Greek odes in 1790 and 1791, and the Chancellor's medal in 1792 for classics, in which year he was eighth wrangler. lie was consecrated Bishop, of Chichester in 1831, and was translated to Durham in 1836. He resigned the latter see under Act of Parliament in September, 1856, which took away his seat in Parliament and left him an annuity of £ 4,500. ELECTIO.S.-The contest for the representation of the University of Oxford terminated on Friday in the return of Mr. Gladstone, the numbers being—Gladstone, 1050; Chan- dos, 859 majority for Mr. Gladstone, 191. The contest for Marylebone, on Wednesday,, terminated in the return of Lord Fermoy by a large majority. The number of votes recorded up to the close of the poll is as follows- Lord Fermoy, 4,212; Major Lyon, 2,309; Colonel Dickson, 1,071. It will be seen by this return that Lord Fermoy had a majority of 1,903 over Major Lyon, 3,138 over Colonel Dickson, and a clear majority of the whole of the votes re- corded of 829.

CORK Trees.-But the beauty of the landscape is much marred by groves of cork trees, whose blasted-like boles are sadly unpicturesque venerable trees, for the most part, and therefore frequently barked, for it is a curious property of the cork tree that it flourishes all the better for being peri- odically stripped of its coat. The operation is performed every eight or ten years, and continued until the tree is about two centuries old, when signs of decay appear.- I'lie Pyrenees, IVest and Hast, By Charles Richard Weld The infinite is more sure than any other fact.
