The Duke of Marlborough thought that Jews should not de placed, im this respect, in a better position than the Roman Catholics. ‘The Earl of Derby had no reason to suppose that if beth houses of Parliament passed the bill her Majesty would interpose her prerogative to prevent its becoming a law. He admitted that some amendments would be required in the Dill as it stood. After a few remarks from Lord Oamp- bell, Lord Lyndhurst said that the present bill was very il drawn, and the unnecessary verbiage ought to be struck out, and the recital of the words of the osth of ab- jaration made to correspond with the oath itself, He should postpone his own bill sine die, The House then went into committee, and the amend- ments were introduced and ordered to be printed. On the same day the Commons resolved itself into a Committee on the Government of India bill (No. 3), on the new 33d clause (proposed by the government), en- acting that regulations ehould be made for admitting per- sone desirous of becoming candidates for cadetahips in the engineers and ertillery to be examined. Mr. Monsell moved to substitute for “‘cadetships”’ &c., the words ‘‘ad- mission into the Military College at Addiacombe.” The amendment was negatived. ‘The new 34th clause, ‘which provided that not lees than one tenth of the number of persons to be recom- mended in apy year for military cadetships shall be se- lected from among the sone of persons who have served in India, in the militery or civil service of Her Majesty, or of the Exst India Company,” was agreed to. The new 35th clause enacted that, except ag aforesaid, all persons to be recommended for military cadetships shall be nominsted by the Secretary of State and mem- bere of Council, 80 that, ont of seventeen nominations, the Secretary of State should bave two, and each member of Council one, subject to the gpproval of the Secretary of ‘State in Couacil. The committee civided upon this clause, which was carried by 166 to 94.

The Agamemnon is reported to have suflered some damages in the gale. {From the London News (City Article), July 7.] Nonew facts of importance havo transpired with re- ference to the Atlantic Telegraph experiment. It is stated that tbe attempt to lay the cable will cortainly be re- nowed this year—perhaps almost immediately; but the next operations of the company seem to be involved io some uncertainty. Probably the Agamemnon will soon make ber appearance at Queengtown, and the real position of affairs will then be more clearly understood, The shares wi more inquired for to-day (Tuesday), and were quoted £300 to £400, [From the Cork Examiner, July 6) This morning at seven o’clock the Niagara, American corvette, and the Gorgon, English war steamer, entered our harbor, with the unwelcome intelligence of a new failure in the attemp; to carry out this great undertaking. It appears the rquadron had got to «point in the Atlantic about 1,000 miles to the west of Ireland, whem they fell im with a heavy gale, in which the Agamemnon capsized ber portion of the cable. In the effurt to get it right again it is supposed it got what in technically called « kink, which was the csuse of the subsequent dis- aster. On joining the ceble for the purpose of paying cut, the westber was fine, and every- thing looked promising. The Agememnon steered east, towrrds Ireland, and the Niagara west, for New- foundland. On board the latter vesse! the macbivery was found to work admirably, and the signals between tho two ships went on without intermission, and the highest hopes of success were entertained. On the 29th of June, bowever, when 260 miles of cable had been paid out, those superintend ing the work on board the Niagara found the signals to cease, and became aware that something wrong must have occurred on board their consort, and ‘the continuity of the current having ceased. they cat the cable, The Niagara bore away for Queenstown, which is the appointed rendezvous. The resson of the ships com- ing back to Queenstown was tho running short of coal, owing to the quantity consumed during the exporiment. {From the Cork Reporter, July 5.] ‘The Niagara and Gorgon, attached to the squadron for the laying of the transatlantic cable, arrived in Qaeens- town step carly hour this morning.
