The honourable mem ber for Marylehone had spoken of a tierce and persecuting spirit, and had said that if 1w had been a Roman catholic he should be opposed to this measure of the l'ope, for it was the very spirit of persecution anal his hon. friend's argument was founded on this-14 said, " Look at what the Roman catholic had to do—what the Roman catholic did"—and in no country, even catholic, were they found promoting measures like these without the sanction of the sovereign. (Hear, hear.) In Belgium 'it was said, something had been done ; but if so it must bo something recent, laud he wished them joy of the exception, I if so it were, as one of the most Roman catholis communi ties. But with that exception, if it were one, there was no catholic country that had permitted these acts. le found that even Lingard told us that the Roman catholic bishops were appointed in olden time by the metropolitan with the consent of the King and the Witten. We had the head of the house of Iloward protesting as1011(11j03 he had before the reformation. They might talk of fanatical feelings—but at the bottom of those feelings there was the Saxon spirit of independence from ecclesiastical control and interposition, which had animated the Wittan—that spirit which afterwards passed the law of Richard 11., which effected the Reformation in the reign of Henry VIII., and which later still drove James li. from the throne, and allowed our sovereigns to reign only so long as they renounced that system which he in his conscience believed alike injurious to religious and chid liberty. (Cheer.) Amongst the numerous arguments his I hon. and learned friend had advanced, he confessed none I had surprised him more than when, addressing himself to an observation of the hon. member for Marsh:bone, he said as that hon. member did not object to the vicars apostolic he did not see how they could object to the diocesan bishops, for the difference was in nothing but the name. (Hear, hear.) They might be told that Cardinal Wise man could govern thane only who would submit to his power. True, but they owes' him no thanks for that. (Cheers.) But would he nut proclaim and anathematise all who refused to submit ? (Hear, hear.) Would he not as sert the power ? (Cheers.) And let him call attention to this—often as Cardinal Wiseman had been charged with it, he had never denied that he did claim this power, Ile challenged any man to paint teeny renunciation, on the part of Cardinal Wiseman, of the claim to govern others than the Roman catholic, of his diocese. (Hear, hear.) He would also challenge any Roman catholic to say that he would suffer any inconvenieuce in ecclesiastical mat ters if Cardinal Wiseman were acting merely as vicar apostolic under the title of Bishop of blelipotainul, in stead of a territorial archbishop, with the title of Arch bishop of Westminster. (Hear.) If so, would the people of England be justified in allowing this assertion 'f eccle siastical and temporal right (fur they went together) which was made by this act on the part of the Pope ? (licar, hear.) Ile contended that in de nouncing and resisting this first step they were taking the wisest course to preserve their civil and religi ous liberties. His lion. anal learned friend had said there need be no fear as to the endowments .if the established church. That was not his (Mr. WIMMVP) fear, but he feared for the civil liberties of the church. (Ileac) Ile did not agree with his hon. friend who spoke early in the evening, in thinking that this question should give place to the business of finance, trade, and commerce. He con sidered it was more important that they should in the first instance take Walls to preserve unimpaired those civil and religious rights and privileges which had been handed down to them from their ancestors. and that while conceding to all others spiritual mid temporal freedom they should assert the same freedom far themselves, de claring that they would not allow any ecclesiastic to inter fere between the people anal the government, or between the people and their allegiance to their sovereign. (Ileac hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman concluded lay asserting his conviction that any attempt to introduce the 'tarnish canon law into this country as it existed ahroitel would be met with the game spirit of resistance which in , former ages had resulted in the Reformation. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. MOORE the debate was then ad- journed to Monday next. PRISONS (SCOTLAND). Mr. FOX MAULE ruse to move for leave to bring in a bill to amend certain acts for the improvement of prisons and prison discipline in Scotland. lie observed that the chief object of the bill was to extend the repayment of the money, advanced for these prisms over a greater number of years than the present act provided. The only other object of the bill wan to enable e ith er th e local or general b=rd to acquire certain small plots of ground which might be useful and beneficial, and which might prevent the erection of buildings in the vicinity. Leave was given to bring in the bill. MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL. Sir Wm. SOMERVILLE moved for leave to bring in a bill on the subject of the medical charities of Ireland. There was no gentleman connected with Ireland who would say that the medical charities were on a satisfactory footing. The bill was the same us that which secured the approval of the house last session, with the exception that the present hill provided fur a differently constituted hoard. Mr. CLEMENTS hoped that, on the second reading of the bill, full explanations would he given of the nature of the measure. Although the bill was certainly culled for, he had a very strong opinion that it would not be productive of economy. Sir C. NORRF.TS spoke in support of the bill. Sir Wm. SOMERVILLE promised that on the second' reading every neeemary explanation would be giv e n. He had no doubt that he would then prove not only that the bill would be productive of economy, hut that it would promote the interests of the sick poor of Ireland. leave was then given I.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEW CROS3.—An acci dent, whereby five persons were injured more or less seriously, and many others slightly wounded and shaken, occurred yesterday morning to the 7.30 Dover train. According to the statement of the guard, the train started from the terminus at London-bridge three minute beyond its proper time, drawn by tw... engines. It pnereedeil with out mishap so far as the New Cross station, when it sud denly came in collision with some coal trucks h.doitrinr to the Brighton Company, which at that time were being drawn aerials the main line. either into or out of a siding. The atmosphere was very hazy, which, added to the fact that at the same moment the steam was blowing off from the Brighton engine in the siding, caused the usual signals to be completely obscured. Two fog-men, or extra signal-men, were seen by the drivers at the Bricklayer.' Arms' Junction, exhibiting green, instead of r e d, Nags ; and they consequently immediately shut off their steam. As the green fir at this junction merely de noted " caution," the guards and drivers naturally con elndill that the line was perfectly clear, and, according to custom, increased the speed at this part of the road for the prime., of ascending the New Crisis bank. As this prac tice was well known to all the men employed on the South Eastern Railway, additional care should have licen taken to keep the line clear from obstructions as the time approached whet a train would become due ; but, strange to say, in the present instance, the coal t rac k., were i n cautiously allowed to be drawn scrim the main But, although at the time the Dover train was three minutes overdue, tail of this carelessness the unfortunate accident above narrated was the result.

The re:olution was then put, and carried unanimously, Mr. GEORGE RIDDLE moved that a petit* h pre sented to parliament, praying for a repeal of the Merean tile Mariae Law, on the ground that it was an act of servile degradation, oppressive taxation, and rigorous coer cion, being the means of engendering strife and hatred be tween parties who heretofore had he, on the most pretty arrangements of flowers, evincing generally a deeper knowledge of harmonious contrasts of co lour, than any deep research after form. This it is almost needless to add, is a fault: form should ho supreme in all matters of ornament, and it should be looked to in time, or there is no knowing what able terms, and enjoining upon seamen the neissoity of making their agreements on a principle which was not re cognised or ullowed by any other class of her Majesty's free subjects. Mr. SAMUEL ItOWLANDS seconded the motion, which w 3. carried, and was followed by a resolution to the effect that the women of London agreed to assist in the establishment of the Seamen's Friendly Association. Several women addressed the meeting in furtherance of the objects in view, and the chairman called upon all those who intended to abide by the "strike" to appear on the lid lowing morning with a piece of blue ribbon in their jackets, that they might be distinguished from the blacklegs. He himself would wt the esample by wearing a fine rosette, and he trusted it would be followed by every hornet-hearted seaman who valued his rights and liberties. (Cheers.) A Mr. NEALE then came forward and read a long letter which he bad addressed to Lord John Russell in opposition to the Marine Bill. Shortly afterwards the meeting sepa rated, and a collection was made at the doors to pay the ez pews. of the evening. extravagancics may be committed in the minv of in vention; indeed throughout the whole stages of the young designer, the present exhibition reveals an unpardonable laxity with regard to the cultivation of form. If we look to the samples of drawings sent front the provinces, they are mostly copies from the very worst antiques of the worst Roman period; and every defect is reprodoced with provoking fidelity. • When we reflect that 10.000/. was the liberal grant in 1540 for the outfit of the schools, it seems inexplicable that the students should be limi ted to the accurate reproduction of such rubbish. The same remark applies to the " Colour Department." The copyist is tasked to tho utmost to rival the execrable performances attributed to Schiavone, Van Alst De Roos, Gerard Lairesse, Segher., &c., all names connected with the degradation and decay of art. If the great aim was to learn the best means of molesting the eye and vitiating the taste of the pupil, no surer method could be adopted titan this. If slovenly styles and slip-shod colours are to be avoided, so should the contrary defect of over-elaboration in design bo banished. It is evidently a delusion to think that the day in which an ill-fated eight was condemned to perpetual hatching work is gone by. An 01) pressive and exploded method of drawing is still rampant at Somerset House. This is what Reynolds aptly christened, "delusive industry." Whether in the designs from the " Hat." the " round," or front nature, the same remark holds good. hitherto opinions have been divided as to the best , methods of instruct• ; while some contended that the example of continental institutions should be fol lowed, and the artistic element mile to form part of the decorator's education, others contended, with some show of reason, that as the human frame, at least in many branches of ornamen tal art, entered hut little, it was mere waste of time to enforce a severe: course of study on the student, altogether setting aside either Ins Iwill or ability to draw academical studies. One of the interesting features of the present exhibition is to find the results of both systems, us exemplified in their opposite results and tendencies, as it were for the first thne brought to the test of comparison. To us the result seems conclusive. Of the numerous sec tions and branches, which have with a good deal of tact been arrayed in constoutive order—the head school having of course the priority of numbers as well us position—it is by no means satisfactory to observe, that in despite of these advantage s+ Somerset House is far from carrying off singly the palm of superiority. Three dint:rent branches of these national schools stand prominently in foremost posi tions : the first is the female school, headed by MN. Mlan ; the next is the Glasgow branch, which is under the active superintendance of Mr. Wilson; and, lastly, the Spitaltields branch, under the head mastership of Mr. Walsh. The designs of these last arc peculiar, from their pleasing and unambitious nature, and as bearing outward evidence to the most untutored eye that they arc within the powers of tho loom. In the three above-mentioned eases the study of the nude and plaster figure is made comparatively subservient to the practical requirement of ornamental art. Indeed, a glance round the walls of this Exhibition seems fully to warrant the idea that if hitherto there has been a lack of energetic support front those more immediately interested in the foundation of a school of British designers, and without which no national institution can prosper, it has been owing in no slight measure to the misappropriation of grants from their original purpuse. Asthe schools are at present coustituted they tend to feed the provinces with me diocre daughtsman, with a slight smattering of orna mental art. The examples from Glasgow, only d 3 in number, arc there to prove that it is not the anatomy of the human body. which is essential to the decorator, but the dissection of curvi linear compositions. It is quite a relief to turn front the heresies of the " head school," such us anatomis ing the " Discololus," and revealing the muscular developments of the Antinous,- -and to look on the conscientious designs of its northern rival, whether for surface or metal work. In the modelling department, Stoke school takes the lead, and the delicate chiselling in the groups which surround the" Witte Cooler," by Mr. H. Bourne, deserves special mention. Paisley and Man chester are well represented; the latter especially displays a very active spirit ou the part of the master, IMr. Hammersley. On the whole this exhibition is rather indicative of what may yet be done, than positive proof of tan gible benefits; but whatever will be the general ver dict, the feeling will be that the female branch, whose tribulations are so pathetically described in tuts week's number of Houschofd Words, arc not amongst the least satisfactory and conclusive evi dences of what well directed endeavours can accom plish in the most delicate mutters of taste.
