PY LoxDon, June 21, 1870, In the House of Lords las’ night Earl Russell ‘moved that a commission be appointed to inquire toto the means whereby union between England and her colonies may be perpetuated, The noble Lord considered that the great national armaments now on foot and the vast improvement made in navies made the question of our relations with the colonies one of grave moment. He argued in favor of maintaining intact the colonial empire. He dwelt particularly on the preservation of union with the Canadas, He described the Canadian cli- Mate, pointed out the want of communication, and showed what obstacles there were in the way of ready reinforcement in case of emergency. He re- gretted the withdrawal of the garrison from Quebec asipprudent and impolitic. Earl Grey spoke in support of the motion for an inquiry. Without action on the subject the House ad- journea. ‘The Telegraphs and Schools—Legislative Come pliments. Lonpon, June 21, 1870. In the House of Commons last night the Postmas- ter General promised an early increase of facilities for telegraphic communication with Ireland. Addt- tional cables would be laid and improved connec- tions established, Mr. Forster, in reply to a question of Mr. Playfair, Said school accommodations would be provided as 800n as the Education bill passed. Mr.. Dennison, the Speaker of the House, after complimentary speeches from Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone, had leave to attend the commemoration to-day at Oxford University to receive an honorary degree ‘The House then went into committee on the Com- ‘pulsory Education bill. Mr. Richard moved and Sir C. W. Dilke seconded @0 amendment to strike out the clause making grants for denominational achools, Messrs. Richard and Dilke maintained that, while attendance on the “chools should be made compulsory, the funds for their support should come from local and voluntary sources, and not from the public treasury. Mr. Gathorne Haidy dislixed the idea of state Schools placed side by side with others sustained by local rates. He procecded to make a strong argu- ment for the maintenance of the authority of the Church. The debate became general, Mr. Seresford Hope, Sir J, Pakington and others supporting the amendment. Mr. Forster objected to the amend- ment as impairing, without making any compensa- tion, the value and validity of the measure. As the ‘bill stood now, the cause of education, likely to be sacrificed for one sect, might snatch advantage from gnother. At the close of Mr. Forster’s speech the committee Tose, and after some miscellaneous business the House adjourned. At an early period in the proceedings of the House of Commons to-day Mr. Torrens gave notice that he should propose the insertion in the Extradition bill of a new clause guarding against the surrender of Tugitives where @ criminal charge may disguise a political purpose in the demand of a foreign govern- ment, In the evening the House in committee resumed the debate on the Education bill. Mr. Miali was opposed to the clauses which dealt with religion. Mr. Harcourt, while he disliked the Dill, was ut- terly averse to the amendment. Mr. Mac Arthur reprobated the granting of public money for denominational schools. On coming out of committee Mr. Beaumont moved for leave to bring in a bili relieving the bishops from atténdance in Parliament. Mr. Beaumont thought ‘the presence of the bishops there was useless and anpopular, Mr. Locke-King seconded Mr. Beaumont’s motion, Mr. Gladstone said the government could not as- gent to the introduction of such a measure. He considered it an ill-advised and gratuitous attack on the constitution, ‘The House divided, and leave to introduce the bill ‘was refused py the following vote:— For Mr. Beaumont’s motion. Against it.........eeeeee Majority against...... Before the adjournment, which took place at half- past one A. M., an effort was made by some mem- bers to procure the adoption of a rule suspending the sittings of the House at midnight. Mr. Glad- stone compromised the matter, promising to intro- duce no matters likely to meet with opposition aiter twelve o'clock, A lively sensation was caused in the Lower House of Parliament last evening by an alarm of fire, ‘which happily proved to he false, 102 +158 The Ladies.

Piré in regard to the St. Gothard Railway. The Duke of Grammont, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied that no interests of France, either Political or commercial, were menaced by the construction of the St. Gothard Railway, as the government of Switzerland had promised the French Foreign Office, as early as 1866, that in certain contingencies the railway should be ae- Stroyed. He added that the French government would pursue such a cours? as seemed in accordance with its interests in regard to the Simplon. It ‘Would not refuse needed subsidies for the population of the Northern and Wesiern provinces; but the Simplon Railway project required larger sums tnan the ends to which it was directed seemed to justity the government in expending, Deputy Estancelin spoke in favor of @ subsidy for the Simplon rovte, M. Pichon, Minister of Public Works, opposed.

This had been shown at the time of the French Revolution and in 1815, when Swiss neutrality was proved to be a mere myth. A vote of the Chambers to adjourn closed the in- terpellation. Considerate.

In view of the Peaceful condition of the Northwest since the evil Spirts left the country, both among the various classes of peop!e and with and among the Indians, and the evident intentions of entering in the con- federation on satisfactory conditions by the fact of you and your delegates being in Ottawa, we deem this bt eee gd as entirely unnecessary, and believe itis intenaed to compel the people ‘to accept the conditions dictated by the Canadian government, witch cannot be effected without the act of 1867 in em a to British colonies entering into confedera- on.

Y, At nine o'clock the brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Thomas 8. Dakin, and consisting of the following commands, pro- ceeded tothe Park:—Thirteenth regiment, Colonel Fred, A, Mason; Fourteenth regiment, Colonel De- bevoise} Twenty-eiguth regiment, Lieutenant Col- onel $hepper; Battery a, Captain Johnson; Battery B, Captain Wackerman, and Troop A, Captain Kei- ser, cavalry escort of the brigade commander. Each command proceeded to the parade ground independently, aud atter their arrival the remainder of the forenoon was consumed tn battalton drill, which was kept up without tntermisston until nalf- past twelve. A rest was then taken till two o'clock, at which time brigade line was formed. As soon as the proper alignment was formed by Lieutenant Colonel Briggs, of the Thirteenth regiment, who was Acting Chief of Stam, GENERAL DAKIN ASSUMED COMMAND, when the following evolutions were gone through with, maby of which, however, were not executed as well @ could nave been desired, although under the circumstances no very sertous mistakes were made: eat; halt; alignment; to march by the right fank: column of fours to the left iato line; column of fours break frou the right to march vo the left; column of fours to the left into line and halt; by company break from the right to march to the left and halt; form divisions; break into companies; to the left into line: by the left flank, column left; by the right flank rear battalion it front into line; by the right flank, halt; left front into line; column of masses on first division, first battalion, right in front; to the left line of masses on first baitalion; to the right, col umn of masses; change direction by the right flank; to the right, line of masses: change direction to the leit; to the left, column of masses; change @irection by the left dank; to the left on first division, first battalion, deploy column; face to the rear and’ halt; advance to the line and halt; face to the rear and halt; by battalion from the right at twenty paces ront into echelon ; echelon into line on first battalion; ine of masses on first division first battalion; face o the rear and halt; alvance tu line of masses, halt and face to the to form squares, echelon on second battalion at twenty paces, right battalion forward; reduced squares; echeion into line of inusses on first battalion; face to the rear”and halt; advance in line of masses, halt and face to rear; column of masses on second battalion, right in front; to the le!t on first division, first battalion deploy column; review in line of battie; inspection in open column Of companies; close ranks; form divisions, column close in nasa; to the left, line of masses; dress parade. Considering that this was General Dakin’s first attempt at handling so large a body of troops, he ac- quitted himself in a most creditable manver. The total number of troops tn line were 1,400, distributed among the various commands as follows:—Thir- teenth regiment, 875 muskets; all told, including officors, band and drum cors, 450 men. Fourteenth regiment, 275 muskets; all told, 325 men. ‘fwenty- eighth regiment, 300 muskets; all told, 350.

The bands of the various organizations were, during the review, consolidated under Drum Major Smith, of the Thirteenth regiment, and numbered, all told, 100 pieces, The review over, Major General McQ inspected. the command, after which a nd rade was indulged tn, at the conciu- sion of which the command returned to their re- spective armortes. General Dakin, however, could not think of allowing the day's sport to terminate in so dry 2 manner; go in the evening he entertained in most handsome style the Governor's staff and sev- eral other prominent military gentiemen at the Brooklyn Clup. THE NEW REGIME, The work of remodelling the city and county goverbment may now be sald to be completed, and, as far as appearances and results thus far obtained can be taken as evidences, the change must un- doubtedly deserve the commendation of all goud citizens. Aboutthe most noticeable improvements are those being made under the direction of THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS, Numbers of poor laboring men are provided with employment, and in almost all the public places there are evidences of industry and improvement, About 120 men commenced operations on THE BATTERY yesterday, digging, ditching, removing rubbish and otherwise clearing and changing the surface of that once lovely breathing spot. For some time past the landscape gardeners, under the direction of the Cominissioners, have been engaged in perfecting pians for the reconstruction of the Battery. These plans will be carried out. The sea wall will be com- pleted, grass plots laid out, walks constricted, the irees ‘trimined, new ones planted on the enlarge- ment portion, It ts anxiously expected that THE EMIGRANT DEPOT WILL BE REMOVED in due time, and that the State authorities may make some arrangement With tie national government by which Bedloe’s or Ellis tslands will be made the great emigrant landing place. This would benetit the emigrants, baile baggage smashers and the other “sharks” that manipulate around Castle Garden, and give the Parks Department a better op- portunity for display tn beautifying the Battery, HE BOWLING GREEN AND CITY BALL PARK are well advanced on the road of improvement. Men are busily engaged at both places, and in a few weeks at the inost they will be in @ condition fit to be seen, dua will scarcely be recognizable as the miserable wastes they have been jor years past. The open space at the foot of Canal Street, near Clinton Market, will be fenced in and sodded, so as to relieve tue hard, dry appearance of tLe neigibor- hood. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS is engaged at present in fitting up the building ad- jomime the Broadway Bank for the ofices of wie late Croton Board, The old rooms of the Clerk to the Board of Assistant Aldermen are beiug repaired and fitted up for the use of the attachés of the Mayor's office. This will afford facilities which have iong been needed in the Executive Department, THK DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES have obtained temporary possession of the old build- ing of the Croton Board on Chambers street—some years ago the oMice of the Almshouse Governors— and will open it to-day or to-morrow as an hospital. Persons injured or becoming disabled tarough sun- stroke or sickness in the lower part of the city can be conveyed to this place quite readily. A physician and surgeon will be in constant attendance, and im- mediate relief can thus be given to patients who woula otherwise be obliged to go to bellevue Hos- pital before they could receive proper treatment, THE DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS is working along smoothly and quietly. All neces- sary arrangements have been made for the publie eting to be held on Thursday, at which those in- ed in docks and dock building wiil have the privuege of expressing their ideas on the subject.

Coroner Hagerty was summoned early on Friday morning and hastened to the spot, impanetled a jury from the lawless inhabitants and began taking testl- mony.” THE PRISONER'S STATEMENT was to the effect that he had long lived a miserable life with his wife; that she was a bad woman and had not been true to her marriage vows; that she was tn the habit of getting moxicuted; that upon Peeing Silane; on Thursday night he found his wile arunk, his children half naked, crying trom hunger and neglect; that he.was angry and hit her in the face two or three times; that she took the youngest child and ran into an adjoining room; tat shortly after, hearing the little one cry, he went to the room, and he tound his wile cryimg; saw her stagger and Iailto the floor, jie asked ner What was the mat- he told him to go away, He becaine fright- ened and ran out for assistance, returning in a few Ininutes, and found her dead, He thinks sue died by her own hands. Drs, Van Renken and Farrington, who made a Post-mortem examination of the body, say she came to her death from hemmorrhage of the ¥ oinb, caused by & wound severing the main artery of the genera- tive organs, and, in their opinion, 1 was dove by a hard, blunt instrument, and that it couid not have been done by her own hand. Aiso, there waa evi- dence to show that Bennett had told heg, a week or 80 ago, that he would Kill her if she eveF got intoxt- cated again. But, to the surprise of every one, the jury found a verdict, “Died irom causes unknown.” As svon as the verdict was made known great excitemeni ps vailed, The Coroner, much exctied, threatened to arrest the jury, saying they were as bad as the mur- derer himself; that they had gone agatnsi law and justice, against their sworn oath, and that they were @ lawless band of ruftiaus, fearing neither God nor man, and that he would not sign any such verdict. Hastening to Kingston, the Coroner consulted with the District Attorney, and the necessary papers were at once issued, and Bennett was again arrested, anu on Sacurday was brought before Justice Cooper, who Pronounced the inquesi 4 fraud, and commitred the prisoner to the Kingston jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. ‘ SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

Refuse to Acknowledge Blanco, Caracas, June 7, 1870, ' The alfferences between the King of Holland and Guzman Blanco tn reference to the seizure of the mail steamer Honfeur ts stilt undecided, till persists in refusing the demands of the Dutch government, but offers to release her and the mails on condition that the arms and ammunition on board of her, which were iatended for the Monagas gov- ernment, be ¢urned over to him as a lawful prize, The commander of the Dutch frigate which was sent touemand the vessel has refused the propositioa, ‘and has sailed from Laguayra with the Dutch Chargé d’Affatres and his family for Curacoa. Guzman Monagas’ troops to the number of about 300, who took possession of the castle at Porto Cabelio, are still there, and frequent skirmishes take place be- tween them and the Guzinan troops. During the bombardment of the first few days the greater part of the Custom House was destroyed and much dam- age done to the city near the harbor. The troops.on bourd the two steamers which were here have beem sent to Coro, where they will jon Hernan aez and move towurds this place, hoping to retake it. Guzman Blanco 18 making preparations to march at the head of his troops to attack the other prov- Inces still held by Monagas’, Great dissatisfaction is given by the decrees closing the ports. Gazman on the one hand and Monagas on the other have completely shut us out from foreign commerce, and @ stagnation and distress in business matter rs such as has not been known for more than twenty-five years ia the result, causing great suifering through- out the country, which is hardly able to double government, None of the foreign Ministers resident here nave as yet recognized the Guzman government and do not quite approve of his course, and the people are not so well pleased with him as at first. His actions in a great many respects have a tendency to alienate the people froin hit, and should be succeed, in becoming dent it is feared that revolutions and uprisings wil continue to desolate the country. Since he has ken Caracas he has made no ap- parent progress and the discipline of bis troops very lax; they pillage the country people about here, causing many Wo abandon their homes and fy to this city for protection.
