Prince Frederick William of Prussia took leave of the Queen and Prince Albert on Saturday night, on his return to Prussia. „.,.,. IMPEEUL PAMIASIENI'. "House or Lords.—ln reply to Lord Lyndhurst, the Earl of Clarendon said that the diplomatic correspondence interchanged between England, France, and the Neapolitan Government respecting the state of the last mentioned /kingdom- was not yet concluded, but the noble Lord might rely that the Government would leave no means untried to put a stop to the occupation of Italy by foreign troops. House or Commons.—Lord Palmerston stated that a general enactment would be introduced for the of prelates from the Episcopal bench, but a special bill would be brought in enabling the Bishops of London and Durham to retire, according to. a wish they had signified to that effect. .... .On the motion of going into committee of supplies, Mr/Mcore rose to move a resolution respecting the American Enlistment Question, but Mr. Brown interposed and appealed to the honourable member not to provoke a debate on a question in a fair way adjustment if left undisturbed. Mr. Moore nevertheless proceeded to justify the motion of which he had given notice ;'he declared his conviction that her Majesty's ministers, by their folly and weakness, had justly excited the reclamation of the American ■Question, and forfeited all reliance in their honour and good faith among the Americn people... . .Lord Palmerston referred to the attempt made by Mr. Moore on Lord .Clarendon, which he strongly condemned. He denied that deception had been practised on the Arrerican Government, and main r tamed that laws had not been violated ; and justified the proceedings of Government in not dismissing Mr. Dallas in retaliation for the dismissal of Mr. Crampton. The house > divided on the question ;. for the motion, 80; against, 274. THE JEAST. Marseilles, July 1. The Euphrates has arrived with advices from Constantinople of the 23rd June, and from the Crimea on the 21st, and she has brought 375 military men. When the mail left, there only remained 2,100 Frenchmen in the Crimea. The Charlemagne, man-of-war, and steam-frigate Descartes, with Generals Jubon, Janion, and Lefebvre, and 7,000 men have just arrived from Kamschiesch. The revenue returns which closed for the quarter ending 30th June show an increase of £422,052 on the corresponding quarter of last year. The increase on the year ending 30th June, is, on the whole, very satisfactory, as it amounts to not less than £4,101,620- as compared with the year closing 30th June, 1855, AMERICA. The whole of the candidates for the presidency of the United States have be n selected. The Know-Nothing and AntiFilmore Convention men met in New York on the 12th June, and choose Mr. Banks junior, of Massachusets, as their candidate for the presidency, and Mr. W. F. Johnson, of Pensylavania, for the vice-presidency. During the proceedings, the whole of the New Jersey Delegation," with a few ot»er persons, quitted the convention, alleging

that it was becoming too decided in its -partiality-to slavery extension. They started a separate convention and nominated Robert F. Stocton of New Jersey, and Kenneth Itayner-of North Carolina as their candidates. It was hoped that the Know-Nothings would make.a selection favourable to the .Free Soilers, but this hope has apparently not been realised, for. the Free Soilers or Republican party-met.-in Pensylyania on the 17th, and nominated Colonel Freemont. The feeling in favour of Mr. Buchanan does not appear to be very enthusiastic. At present there are in the field four candidates for the presidency, viz., Buchanan,. Banks, Stockton, and Freemont. IT\.T,Y. la Lombardy everything has appearance of a preparation for war. The number of Austrian troops is being daily increased. The fortress of Pieenza has been supplied with provisions and furnished with improved artillery,: and an attempt has been made, though ineffectually, to reconcile the Duchess of Parma and General Crellville, in order that in the.event of hostilities, the Austrians may have a point d'appid beyond the Po.
