ENGLISH NEWS.

English News to the 29th July had been received per " Blenheim," at Hobart Town, when the last departure for New Zealand took place. We select the following: from the motley • asssemblage of scraps published in the Hobaist Town Guardian, The Cork Examiner of July 28th says •. — "The Lords have consummated their bigotry by the rejection of Lord Monteagle's amendment for omitting- Ireland from the Penal Bill." The Ecclesiastical Titles Bill had been read twice in the House of Lords, and the report of the Committee was to be brought up on Monday, 28th July. On Monday, July 21st, in the House of Commons, the Speaker directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to remove Mr. Salomons, the member for Greenwich, because he declined taking the prescribed oath. The officer of the House then went to the hon. member, and putting his hand on Mr. Salomons' shoulder, he immediately rose and left the House. It is said that the arrangements for the erection of the intended Italian Roman Catholic j Church in London are already so far matured, i that a much earlier period will be fixed for laying the foundation stone than was first intended. The site will be in the new street leading from Farringdon-street to Clerkenwell. The writ for Limerick, vacant by the resignation of Mr. John O'Connell, was issued on the 23rd of July, on the motion of Mr. Monsell. The Roman Catholic prelates who have not signed the requisition for an aggregate meeting of the Roman Catholics of Ireland in Dublin this summer are Archbishop Murray, Bishops Ryan, Browne (Kilkenny,) Walsh and O'Donnell. The Rev. Dr. Lingard, the eminent historian of England, died on the 19th of July, in the 81st year of his age, and his remains were, at his request, conveyed to St. Cuthbert's College, Durham. The Limerick Reporter says:—"The Rev. Mr. Bugler, late C. C. of Borrisokane, an excellent and zealous clergyman of the highest character, has written the most cheering accounts of the progress of industrial employment in the land of the west. He states that out of a large number of persons who accompanied and followed him across the broad waters of the Atlantic from their impoverished homes in lower Ormond, there is not an individual unemployed ; and he breathes an anxious sigh that he had means to pay the passage out of the crowds of virtuous and industrious young females who are now pent up in the union workhouse of Borrisokane, and for whom he could obtain remunerative employment where he is located." We understand that the Rev. gentleman has forwarded a sum of £50 to the Very Rev. Dr. Blake, P. P., towards the building fund of the new church of St. Cronin, Roscrea. The marriage of Miss Talbot, whose case has obtained such an extraordinary degree of noto- j riety, took place on the 22nd of July, at the chapel of the Bavarian Embassy, in Warwickstreet, Golden-square. The party entered the chapel soon after 10 o'clock, by which time a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen had taken possession of all the pews. The bride was accompanied to the altar by the Countess of Newburgh, under whose tutelage she had lately been placed. There was also a brilliant circle of the relatives and friends of the bride and bridegroom. It is said Sir William SoraerviUe will be called up to the House of Lords, at the close of the Session next month. A correspondent of the Cork Reporter says of Lord Brougham—"He begins to feel his powers failing. He walks very feebly, as if he had a slight paralytic tendency about the lower extremities, and altogether shows symptoms of a break-up." The quantity of wheat recently purchased in London for account of French millers is stated to be about 30,000 quarters, and a condition has been made for it to be kept here three months, to ascertain whether the working of the French sliding scale will allow of its being imported into France.
