LONDON, May ll.-Dering a debate 1 to-day, Gladstone said tho Govern? ment roform bill was a shallow, dis? simulating pretence of extension of franchise. Bright declared the bill the most unjust and offensive mea? sure over submitted. Roebuck and D'Israeli defended the bill. Strangers were excluded during tho discussion. Tho announcement of the result of sixty-six majority produced a pro? tracted cheering from tho ministerial benches. Lord Stanley, in the House, congratulated tho country that the good sense and moderation of the peace conference has had tho effect of arresting tho unspeakable calami? ties of a European war. [Loud cheers.] He explained that tho treaty of 1839 absolutely guaranteed Lux? emburg to Holland. What the Go? vernment had now dono was to adapt that guarantee to present circum stances. LONDON, May ll.-Tho death sen tence of the Fenian? has been com muted to long imprisonment.

The Liberals wei , surprised at first and driven back, bi subsequently rallied abd repulsed tl Imperialists, who took refuge in tl city. Tho Liberals held a portion i the city for a few hours, and th< took up their old position. It is b lioved that tho city of San Luis hi succumbed. Ben arides continues il siege of Vera Cruz. His force is coi pletely investing tho city by land ai water. Provisions are so scarce th the peoplo are obliged to eat hon flesh. Tho death of Miramon is co firmed. Gen. Diaz is daily receivii # reinforcements. Gov. Throokmorton, of Texas, sa ho has not recommended any perso as registers, and declines to do s Tho books and pnpers have arrive and tho work of registration is e pected to commence soon. FORTRESS MONROE, May ll.-U Davis has left here, after two yea imprisonment. The leave-taking w touchingly impressive. Robert Oe and the brother of Mr. Davis, frc Vicksburg, with Mrs. Davis a sister and several friends, acco panied him. The countenance of ? Davis was cheerful. He recei\ many friends with great cordiality tho boat. His face was palo, and is very thin and feeble. His hair 1 grown quito grey. - RICHMOND, May ll.-The stean John Sylvester, with Mr. Davis board, arrived this afternoon, half-past 5 o'clock. Long before ] ^?rimi, tho military nrrangeme "bad boen made by Gen. Schofield, detachment of infantry from 29th regiment was present, and s tinels were posted at intervals enc) ing about 200 yards square, of wharf. Outside of this Uno, a la crowd of negroes and a few wk were gathered. The brows of surrounding hills were pretty thio . covered with spectators. Maj. Var of Gen. Schofield's staff, who wai command, and a detachment of c noueers of tho 5th artillery, mimi ing about fifty, mounted as a gu for tho carriages. As the steai hove in sight, with the national flying, the most intense anxiety exhibited by tho crowd to got clo but there Was no domonstration cheering or hissing. When the ste er was made fast, Hon. Jos. Ly went on board, and after a fee meeting with Mr. Davis, brou Mrs. Davis ashore, and conducted to a carriage, followed by tho servants who attended her. Aft few minutes, Mr. Davis carno < tho gang plank, accompanied by ( Burton and Dr. Cooper. Ho lot very much changed from what citizens of Richmond remember to have been, looking much older rather haggard and feeble. A grey beard contributed much tu chango. He wore a heavy black c cfout, and came ashore with a firm step. Tho party immedii got into carriages, and surrouudc the mounted guard, drove rapidl a side street up towards tho S] wood Hotel, thus disappointing large crowd which had gatherci Main street to seo Mr. Davis. On tho trip up, Mr. Davis quito cheerful, and as ho hat! guard, walked freely about tho I conversing with the passengers, were all auxious to speak to him .said little about his imprison! but spoke in terms of tho wai affection of ex-President Pierce, visited him on Thursday last, said there was no man li vin whom he entertained a higher re At Brandon, on the way up, a ber of ladies had gathered to i to him, who shed tears on G him. ' They nearly all had been ac? quaintances of his family daring the war. ! 1 A lady, named Mrs. Baris, of Rich-, mond, who got on tho boat at Nor-' folk, died in the ladies' cabin shortly before roaching Richmond. Two bridal parties came' up" in tho same boat. There is a large and curious, bat orderlj , crowd^tround the Spotswood Hotel, waiting to get a*glimpse of the prisoner. He will remain in General Burton's charge until produced in court, on Monday. The citizens gene? rally, in deference to tho wishes of the authorities, stayed away from tho docks, though many of them were stationed iu the doors and windows along Main street, to see Mr. Davis as he passed up, after the proeession entered that street. He occupies the same suite of rooms at tho Spotswood that ho did in 1865. It is the opi? nion expressed by one of Mr. Davis' counsel that, if bail is refused him, the Executive will .intervene to pre? vent his further confinement, until his trial cornels off. COMMKKCIAL.

The document will be n book of two hundred pages, made up chiefly of forms. Tho first part is now going through the press,, copy being supplied as the Supreme Court finds time for preparing it. A strong effort is making to complete tho work, so that it can be submitted to the full bench, for approval or re? jection, by the middle of May. A bit of sharp practice has been going on at Hudson, New York. A man contracted to purchase a farm. Tho "forfeit" was $500. A few weeks subsequent to this transaction, a third party carno and offered the original owner an advance of $1,500 for tho farm. The seller "backed water" and paid tho forfeit, when purchaser number two "didn't want to buy." Several parties have been duped in tho same manner within a short time. SIGNIFICANT.-There is a general cry by tho laboring classes in all the Northern and Western cities for bread and employment. Tho Boston Herald estimates that over 2,000 men have been thrown out of employ? ment by thc closing of tho bar-rooms in that city, and at least 500 stores in the city proper, and East and South Boston, have a "to let" placed ou the shutters. RESTITUTION.-During the war, some of the soldiers stationed ut Pensacola, Fla., went into tho Epis? copal Church and destroyed the organ. Thc Observer says a subscrip? tion was recently taken up ill ono of tho Northern cities, and a new organ purchased and sent out to replace the ono destroyed. Four young ladies of Snow Hill, Mo., 'nave succeeded in raising $151.25 for tho suffering people of tho South. In 1812, Milwaukee had 2,000 inha? bitants; now her population is about 70,000. It is said that Beecher gets $100 a column for his story. Seim tor romner is treated cava? lierly by the blacks in Washington. A writer states that "the colored voters of tho first ward, who aro in a large majority, have adopted resolu? tions, after much debate, declaring it unwise to place in nomination any colored man nt the coming municipal election. This action was in direot opposition to the advice of Mr. Sum? ner and others who have been promi? nent in tlie antislavery movement." Nine steamers a week-are now em? ployed in transporting Irish and German emigrants from fatherland to the happy hunt mg grounds of the New World. And tho cry is still they come. A bnrrel of flour can bo purchased in Paris, sent by rail and steamer to Liverpool, and thence transported in a sailing vessel to Boston, nt less expense than it can now be purchased in the latter city.
