July :>th, at the rcqu' t of Earl Derby, who is furming a Cabinet.Ho sought to obtain the support of loading Whigs and Liberals who have acted against Russell's Government but failed, and a Conservative Ministry*!» expected.Threatening domonstrations bad taken plaie in London among tho lower orders cn the Rcfijriu Question.The Gnat Easters would sail from Phcorncm on the 30th.The war newt is very ooutradletory, both tho Austrians and Prasaiins claiming vie tories on the saaae battle Held.A Berlin despkteh, June 29, aay the Austrians were defeated on tho 27th and 28th near Nachod by the first army corps, and on the 29th at Trantonan by the corps of Life Guards, and at Munchcngrantso by Prince Frederick Charles.At Trantonan the Austrians arc «aid to have lost 3 to 1000 killed and wounded.Thn Prussians about 1000.At Muneliengrantze the Austrian losses arc stated at 2000.The Prussians claim to bave captured about 8000 prisoners, numerous trophies, guns Ac.There were great rejoicing at Berlin.The inhabitants presented an address to and serenaded the King.The Crown Prince of Prussia reports that, in his engagement, be had 22 battalions opix)sod to 28 battalions of Austrians.The ilanoverisn army, on the 29th, surrendered at discretion to tho Prussians.The officers retained their side-arms.The tm-n were dismissed to their homes.The whole Federal army, at and near Frankfurt, was on the mardi and a battle was anticipated.The Italians have changed their plan of operatinus.There had been no further collisions in Italy.Garibaldi waa at Lake Idroo.It is reported that France will not long remain quiet.An active intervention ii reported already agreed upon.The Times again indulges in sime com plimeutary remark upon tho visit of the U.8.monitor Miamtonomah to England un i says that iu allowing this vessel to visit England at the prerent moment, the government oi President Johusou, bus conferred a servioc only secondary to that so frankly remisred in the recent suppression of the miserable icniau démonstration on the shorct of the Canadian lakes.The weekly returns at tho Bank of Fraoue show a further increase in the cosh on band of 22,2000,000 francs, The Bourse was very flat on the 29, rentes clusiog at 03.2 c.The Hungarian Clininbcrs Imre been prorogued for an indefinite period, on account nf the war.The titting closed with cheers for the King.A royal decree calls out the reserves of Ike Portugueae army.The news from Europe which is ulro.dy belorc our renders, though important, is by no means bj material to Cunadians as the news which Canada has not received.This country has expended blood und treasure, and incurred debt and danger in the English cause.In return, the loyal British press has treated (he Fenian invasion ns no business of theirs, but a nutter entirely aflectine Canada.The speech of the self-styled President Roberts is conclusive on this head; the presence of the British flag he declares, is tho sole cau-e of the invasion of Canada, and that such is tho case no one doubts, but the loyal British press thank-lowly and ungraciously ignores it.On tho other baud, the disaffected press in Ireland hounds on the Fenians to Canadian con-qoont, and encourages their countrymen to emigrate to Canada and raise therein the standard of revolt.The language of the Fenian press agniust our citjzeui is that of mcuacc and malignity, us plain and os diffi cult to mistake as John Mitchell's \u201c kill man, woman, and child in Grafton-strect.In Ireland, authoiity has been silent uud unmoved.Tho authorities cf tho United States have discharged their duty to Canada in a way which has called forth the admira-tien of Europe, and humiliated Canada in her own eyes at the recollection of the St.Albans' raid and the corruption and dishonesty witnessed at Montreal.But the authorities of the sister kingdom of Ireland, less magnanimous than the foreign Republic, appuar to tacitly assent to designs hostile to the safety and the peace of Cn.nada.It is high time that the language of official and Parliamentary remonstrance should be used on this subject.A resolution of tho House of Assembly, calling the attention of the authorities of Ireland to tho language of the disloyal press in that country towards Canada, and expresring rep ot that the editor of the Nation is not in jail, would probably have a good effect.At leas), it would let the Europeans know that Canadian loyalty exacts its rights as well as performs its duties.If the English Ministry arc )cconstruu!ed in a satisfactory manner, the Delegates from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, whose departU'o late events have retarded, will embark on the PJtli instant, to submit to the English Government the scheme of CoufeJcrution.The Delegates from Nova Scotio are the Hon.Messrs.Ritchie and McCully of the Legislative Council, and the Hon.Messrs.Tapper and Archibald of the Assembly.Those from Now Brunswick are the Hon.Messrs.Tilley, Wilmot, Johnson, Chandler and Mitchell.\t] We are not yet aware who the Delegates fiom Canada are to bo.Evidently, at the suggestion of Mr.Brown, the chief of the three gentlemen who, as a united phalanx, opposed the pissngo of the Rectory Hales Bill in the Home a few days ago, Mr.McGivcrin moved as follows, to a motion of Mr.Galt for the House to resolve itself into Committee on \u201c ways and I means,\" that \u2014 \u201c This House, while prepared to make adequate provision for the publie defence, for ibe maintenance of the public credit, uud for the efficiency of tho public service generally, deem it inexpedient, iu view of the probable early consummation of Confederation of the British North American Piovinces, an event which will render ncccs-saiy a comprehensive revision of the commercial leg* dation of all the Provinces, now to adept measures which would have the effect of unnecessarily disturbing tho trade, the manufacturing industry, the currency and the banking system of the Province.\" Of course Mr.MoUiveriu regretted the necessity which bad made it necessary for him to move a vote of waut of confidence in the Government; hut thcgreit scheme o! Confederation was imperilled by the monetary scheme of tho Finance Minister, and with a spirit of true patriotism, tie came to the rescue.He believed that the Feoiun invasion was the only excuse for deranging the whole monetary system of the country, but he knew that a million of money could be raised for the Militia Department \u201c by eomomy in other departments of tho Gov-ernmeut.\" Now, did Mr.McGivcrin really think that anyone could bo'ieve such nonsense?Such trash no man in his renses could expect the House, or any one out of the House, to believe ; yet Mr.McGivcrin gravely gave utterance to it.If Mr.Gall's banking project i» improper or ill-considered, or ruinous to commercial aud agricultural interests, surely it ought to be assailed, not because its adoption might interfere with Coufcderation or because money might be obtained by an economy which it is im-possible to understand, but on its naked nctils, But that was uot the purpose i MILITARY.H.M.steam troop ship Orontca entered port at seven p.m.yesterday.She bad on board the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who were transhipped to the mail steamer Quebec to be sent to Montreal, where they arc te be stationed.The steam transport Simoom with the lUOih (Prince of Wales Canadian) Regiment on board is daily expected.On arrival they will proceed to Hamilton and Fort Erie to relieve the lOtli Regiment, who nre under orders for Montreal, and shortly to be sent to the West Indies.The first detachment consisting of three companies oi the 39th Regiment will come duwu from Montreal on Saturday, and be dispatched to Point Levi, to Work on (be fortifieatii )>s.The 25th King's Own Borderers will remain encamped on St.Helen's Island, Montreal, during the summer.CUSTOM HOUSE RECEIPTS.The amount collected at the Custom House to-day was 9809.88.Ottawa, July 10.WANT or I\u2019ONV\u2019iPKNCB MOTION.After report left, iiou.Mr.Galt moved that the Speaker do leave the chair for the House to sic iu Committee on Ways and Means.Mr.McGivluin moved, in amendment, tint all words alter \u201c that,\u201d iu the original motion, he struck out aud the following inserted instead thereof: 11 this House while prepared to make adequate provi.ion for the publu defence, for the maintenance of the public credit aud for the efficiency of tho public .-o: rice generally, deem it inexpedient, iu view uf the probably early consummation of the confederation of the Briiisb North American Provinces, uu event which will render necessary a comprehensive revision of the commercial logislation ol all tho Provinces, now to adopt measures which would have tiro effect of unnecessarily disturbing the tndo, the tu mufaeturing industry, the ourreacy and the banking system of the Province.Mr.Evanturcl succeeded tho amuudmeut.The HonbUs.Mc-srs.Evanturol, Brown and Galt Bucec^sively addressed the Ilouau.The debate was ihcn adjourned until tomorrow, then to be the firs: order of the day on motion of Hon.John A Macdonald, who ngardod tho motion as ouo of Want and Confidence.The House then adjourned at 12:45.Ottawa, July 11.The f.llowing bills were intro luced and read a first time : Mr.Mackaklane\u2014To consolidate the indebtedness of the Town of Stratford.Hon.J.H.Cameron -To amend certain errors in a conveyance from one Alexander, deceased, to Mr.West, dated 1st Sent., 1854.Hon.A.A.Doiuon \u2014moved that a writ of error do issue lor the election of a member to represent tho county of Two Mountains, in the place of J.H DuuUxt, who bas resigned bis seat.\u2014Carried.11 »n.Mr.MacdoVuALL then resumed tbo adjourned debate on Mr.Me Givcrn's amendment to the motion for going into Committee of Ways and Means He was followed by Mr.Mackenzie, who was still speaking when our report left Utica, July 11.disastrous fire occuired iu this ch was an insurance of |12,000.New York, July 11.riiree cases of cholera are reported in this oily aud two in Brooklyn to-duy.The Committee on subscriptions for Portland met to-dsy, and reported the total amount subscribed thus far at thirty thousand dollua.On notion ofCol.Howe the subscription papers were sent to Newport und Saratoga.The aggregate subscriptions including th'' above, readies the sum of Il52,000.Washington, July 11.Mr.Alloy, from the Post Office Committee, reported back the Senate bill wliioli passed that body on 29th June, to aid in the construction of telegraph lines, and to sccuie to the Government tho use of the same for postal purpose».The bill passed by yeas 72, nays Cl.SECOND REPORT.\u2014I P.M.EUROPEAN NEWS.LITERARY.It is estimated that over fifty thousands people visited Portland on Sun lay, return iog to their homes at night-full.The trains on the Kennebec and Portland and Grand Trunk Railroads alone carried over twenty thousand.On Monday morning the Boston and Ncw-York boats arrived crowded with sight-seers, and a speoial train arrived from Boston tilled witli visitors.Tho Hon.Joseph Howe was to have sailed for England by the last Cuuard steamer, accompanied by one or two of bis political friends, with the view of opposing the Confederation achcmc in the British Parliament.Bluckucood for May contains \u201c Buridan's Ass ;
