BIRTHS AND DEATHS RROISTRATION (IRELAND) - 818 The Earl of XT. GERMANS moved the second reading of this bill, which he said was framed upon the principles of the English law of IEO6 and the Scotch low of 1854. The present bill differed, however, from the English and Scotch Registration Acts, inasmuch as it made no provision for the registration of marria,,re in Ireland. The Roman catho lic' priests were forbidden by law to celebrate mixed mar riage., and they were so averse to any measure for the re- Odiatioa of marriages that legislation on the stillest was felt to be impracticable. But in his opinion the time was not far distant 'rhea the marriage laws of the three eons- Wee would be revised, and then the difficulty would pro be* be rsmoved. It was proposed by the present measure that the medical offiners of the poor law Onionlehould be the registrars, with power, in came of their refusal to act, for the' guardians to make appointments of other properly qualified parsons. The Marquis of CLASEICARDE would not oppose the second reading, though he considered that some better pro. VIIIiOII than the bill proposed was necanary to meet the case of the refusal of the medical °Moen to undertake the duty of registration. hie trusted that government would take the whole matter ih died, and deal with it before the sod of the radon. The bill was then read a second time. DRAINAGE OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. This bill pawed through committee. ECCLESIASTICAL PATRONAGE.

AMALGAMATION OF THE METROPOLITAN AND LONDON POLICE. Upon the motion for going into committee of supply, General Sir DE L. SPANS, in bringing under the es- Adoration of the house the expediency of amalgamating the . setropolitaa sad city of London police establishmests, rid he hoped that after what had recently occurred in the City, this subject would receive the arena attention of the 'oversewn. They were informed that the pooessioe of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra on Sat. urdey last was se interrupted in the City as to cause clanger and alarm even to them illustrious persons, the mob having more than once entirely surrounded their ear ' riage, and some people having actually get upon it. Prom the public ta it appeared that on the --sprain of the the earmeatioo scoording to their Waal custom, had a &inner i Ia foarcliette at the Mao- Woe-boom, which led to delay, and ultimately interfered with the amusements for the procession. A ostromen had arisen is newspapers between the head of the polies is the City and the officer eommandiog the City rifle volunteers, sad each appeared to oast the biome of what occurred on the other. bat which wee wrong it was impoesible for him to say. In his opinion, however, volunteers, though ex cellent soldiers. were Dot really Listed for keeping the ground on such occasions. (Hear, hear.) Looking at the results, it certainly did appear that in the large area under the supervision of the metropolitan police not ens life was lost, nor did any serious ac cident occur, while there was a serious Ices of life as well many severe amidenta in the City. The were, therefore, sot favourable to the City polies ; but his object was simply an amalgamation of the two bodies, and it would be for the government to inquire which of theta was moll efficient. Few himself he had not the remotest doubt as to which was the moat efficient, and he thought that the jeriedietian at the metropolitan police should he extended to the City. _ The LORD MAYOR mid th e su bj ec t involved a much larger questioe Mau that brought f orwar d by the hors. and gallent gentleman. There were a umber of curious coin cidence, connected with the arrangements. In the first pleeN the corn m usiouer of the polite for the City unfortunately died a week before the arrangements for the promesioe com menced. In the next place, the whole minors of that tea ordi airy demonstration wan thrown on the City poitee7and them only, withie the boundaries of the City. I" Oh, and laug of hter./ Is the next place, there was 'a secession large uswieldly mna laded with ' metropolitan police thrown into the City in the Inn of the pronesion, meeting it, ite it were, in the vsry face. and by settle( down peewee at differs.* points aunieg great obstruction.

I nate in an effort to deprive the City of London of the rigs ' Mon of its owls police. Being himself a comminieme of the Central Crinrinal Court he had opportunities of ascertaining the opinion of the judges with re gard to the City police, and he knew their opi nion was that far Intelliience, activity, and reliability the comparison betwene the two forces was much to the advantage of the City shoe. (A lamb.) the personate said that the civic ildbollithe had refused the asnistanos of troops and the antropolitan pollee, but that was not true.

WHO awed the crowd into submission, and, moreover, "rins e hones had, from long habit, acquired the forbearance of their riders. (A laugh.) But, hotrod of Life Guards, 200 artillery were sent, but their horses were so cap.msoned as to be impeded in their action by the crowd, and cease queet/y these troops were unable to keep beck the people. So far, however, from refusing the offer of troops, he said be should like to have not only 2190 but 400 if they could be got. With respect to the vohnateen, most emphatic in strurtioos were given that no volunteer should be employed in keeping hack the crowd. In those instructions it was also stated that they should be formed against the barriers, but merely as an object and • spectacle—(laughter)—that they sholiki be massed as objects of attraction, and not interfere is any shape or way with police duties, and that they should in all instances give way to the crowd. (Laughter.) But instead of being at their post at one, se they should have been, they formed in the very piece where the procession was being formed ; and when they did go, instead of taking the direct route to the Mansion-house, where they were ordered to be, • distance of about 480 yards, they took a circuitous route of about 3,000 yards in length. He left the house to imagine the confusion which the marching of a body of between 700 god 800 men under such circumstances created. By taking the air cnitons route, and, like the vans with the metropolitan police, working up against the throng, they caused much confusion, acid instead of assisting the police they hampered them and got themselves lost in the crowd. He put it to the house whether the boo and gallant gen tleman had adopted a fair mode of dealing with the matter. He repeated, they did not refuse the assistance of the troops. nor of the metropolitan force. There were, how ever, circumstaoces connected with the whole affair which induced the =faint 311 of the city of Loudon to think that so inquiry should be gone into. That inquiry was being most vigorously pursued, and be thought it woaldbe shown that there were circumstances in the case which would explain the difficulty which ensued. Some information had been con veyed to the members of the house that the arrangetneata for the illuminations on the part of the metro- Ctitan force were not so complete as they might ~ been. All be could say was, that the people took up their stations, and had the advantage of remaining there for some hours, not being able to move. This he did not know from actual observation, bo otee° he felt it his duty to be at the Mansion-hoass, as he felt that to be the point of danger. (Laughter.) Hon. members leashed. but there was an amount of diffi culty and attraction at that point which did create danger ; sod he could speak from his own personal el:serration that the lice of there did move ountioneasly the whole of the night. here was • great pressure of people DO doubt ; but if the people would go in such enor mous masses into places that were not large enough to contain them, it did wet require • great amount of philosophy to show that two men could not stand in the pleas of one. It was very lamentable that there had been these accidents, bet they were owing to eiremostances which no precaution weld have prevented. If banjos had been erected the loss of life would have been much greater. Under all the circumstances, he appealed to the house whether sufficient reason had been shown against the existence of a local police force in the City of London. Unless the principle of the maintenance of a local farce was respected, there was no reason why Sir Richard May should not be the commissioner for Liverpool, Nor folk, Birmingham, and elsewhere, and that we might not have the game system here as in Frew', where the govern meet had the control of the whole police of the country. Lord A. PAGET—As my hon. friend ha alluded to me, and as I had the honour of taking part in the royal proem don, and of preceding the carriage of the Primes' and the Pricer through the City, perhaps I may be allowed to isy few words ; and first of all. I should like to bear witness to the perfect behaviour and good humour on the part of the people on that day. (Cheers.) I cannot conceive • more trying circumstance then being in a tit crowd, with the pregame of the people behind, and seeing in advance outriders, horses, equerries, and cavalry, come crashing over toes ; and I can simply say that I never beard one angry word =premed. Of course, on such an occesice it was of no use to be ill.tempered. On the contrary, when one saw from Loudon-bridge a made of people in front, the plan wee to ( put tbs en to make way es well a are could ; uwe were, in fact, bound for Windsor. lem booed to say the people—l will not call them • mob, for they were not a mob—the people rendered every assistance, opened out on all sides, and, in fact, made way for us. With reprd to the polies, I am bound to say 'het I think they were so few in number that they were completely overwhelmed, sad that they in fact gave it up as • bad job. (Laughter.) Moreover, from what I could see of them, the great majority of them were anxious to see our beautiful Princes. As to the SOWN at the Manion-hones, there are many hoe. members who wit hered it. There was no doubt it was a tremendous squash. (Laughter.) I saw them actually get on the top of thee/ar tifice, some of them, and I saw a great macy running, not only under *ocarina, but between the leaders and the wheelers. I certainly did appeal to several policemen who were stand ing—% row of them—round the Mansiou.honse. I said to them, "For God's sake, go to the carriage, or we shall have them upset." I took one fellow's number. No. 68—(loud brighter)—becanite be refused to move. He said, so, he alma sot move ; and I reported this oireuntranoe to the heed of the police, and of emcee hearse excessively annoyed at the eircuserance. When we got through the City I can only describe it ea something like what must happen to navigators who go into the Acetic region, and after having been for some time locked up is icebergs see in the distance open water. That is the aseriatioo I felt when we pi to Temple-bar. I certainly did say "Thank Gad we have get through the worst of it 1" (Laughter.) My hon. friend (the Lord Mayor), whom I know vvereryy well, will bear me out when Imy that when I asedet lned that I was to have the hooter of going with the pressmen, I went to him, having had the experience of some quarter of • century in proareleas. I west to my hoe. tread ; sad first be gave me • most excellent luncheon. I then said, " Are you quite sure you have force enough to keep the line eke', for I knew that there will be an immense concourse of people r He mid he thought there was railident face, bat lie would send to the heed al the pollee. I said, "Bear in tailed, Ido ea ems to you as her Majesty's chief equerry to the Lord Mayor of London, because that is not within my pertain. I have Nothing to do with ordains anything. I have but to at tend upon the Priem of Wales and the Princess Alexandra. 1 therefore, Lad Alfred Paget, cane toyou, Mr. Rees ; andl have every reams to believe sod know that if you want any . amistanos yea will get it :" and I may have said, " not only from the Has Guards but from the Metropolitan Polies." Of course it wee not my province to step oat of my duty and attempt to interfere in what did not eras= me. I had mot the charge of keeping the resets clear —it was merely • suggestion. Of course I left it to my hoc. friend to communicate whatever be wished to the Bone Guards and the roetropolitaa police force. or I amid hove been very happy if he bad authorised me toE the masses to Sr Richard Mayne, but I guarded m par ticularly by saying that I came to him as an old Ma not se being authorised. (Hear, bear.) Colonel FRENCH said he thought the Lord Mayor bad made some mat unfair obarvations with regard to the way in which the Royal Horse Artillery, who were on duty in the City, performed their duty. The LORD MAYOR exploited that his observations were not spirt the radar of the mem They did all they could do, but the trappings of the hones were not adapted to the duty that body had to perform. Mr. AYRTON said the amalgamation of tbenty with the Metropolitan force was • very old question. So loos ego as 1854 a commission was appointed to inquire into that sub ject, and that oommission, in their report, recommended an amalgamation of the two forces. This question involved various consideratious, sad ought to engage the attention of the government, because it was a most extraordinary thleg that in the heart of the metropolis there should be sepa rate jarisdictim which had • right to ao-operate or not, with the polio. of the other part of the metropolis. Sr G. GREY thought the subject deserved the attention of the house. He bad, in consequence of what bad occurred on Saturday, written to the Lord Mayor, stating that the route of the Primer through the City was permitted on the distinct understanding that due arrangements should be made for the preservation of order ; whereas in the revolt nothing could be greater than the contrast between the arrangements In the metropolitan district and those in the City ; tad the only drawback on the magnificent popular of the Primus of Wales occurred in the City of 6 London. He was secured that troops were offered by the commeader-in-chlef, and metropolitan police by Sir Richard Mayne, to the City authentic., but declined. He wee, however, not prepa red that there was a eve made out for the Imm ediate amalgamation of the two police forces ; but he thought some legislation should take place, giving power to the government to take steps necessary for securing order in the City as well as in the rest of Lard= on occasions of public demonstrations. Be did not admit that the deaths which bad occurred on the night of the illumination were owing to misma nagement ; but rather to the inevitable ronsequeber of the pressure of a large crowd. Her Majesty had expressed her deep regret at these casualties, her sympathy with the so/- toren, and directed inquiry to be made as le the einem , stances of their families, with a view to their relief. Yr. Alderman SIDNEY, while admitting that the polio, arrangentents in the City broke down oo Saturday, denied denied that this a sidliment reason to impugn general efficiency and management of the faros. He at tributed the disorganisation which prevailed to the emcee adopted by the London Bide Brigade. Lord ELCITO, defending the volunteers, read part of • letter from the Aker commanding the London Ride Brigade, showing that before Lis regiment nub on the ground the crowd waa in full posmeston of the street.. The noble lord celled attention to • statement in the Times, co m . plaint that the volunteers is Hyde occupied an . great' space; and he affirmed that is the opieion of Burnley, who wee in ocatinead of the 'Ghanaian, so usbeeemary ground wee occupied. Be wished to know by what official authority this communica tion was bile to the journal in question, and whether it wee set mule try Sir R. Mayne. Sir G. 0.

GREY expreued his great regret that there should have been any coati Rams order between the civil sad departments on this occasion. He also regretted that his noble friend Ind thought it worth while to beimg this subject forward. -The fact was that Sir Richard Mayne was ectusted by a motive *kith did him credit —the desire, namely, that the arrangements in stay direction should be such as to afford every possible opportunity to the assembled multitude to witness the royal processies. (Cheers.) The military authorities appeared to nave taken • different view of the ocusion as far as Hyde-park was mo urned. Sir R. Mayne understood, with regard to the volunteers, that they should form • line through which th e royal prooession should pass, allowing • certain apace behind to which the public might be admitted, and obtain a com paratively sear view of the procession. The military authorities appeared to have coosidered it as a parade ground for • review, and therefore that they required • much larger space. He was sorry that the misunderstand ing existed, and that there should not have been bolter previous coacen. Effectual promotions would be taken in future to secure upon these ommioos concert between the civil and military authorities. He was sorry that the mis understanding had occurred, bat it erase from the circum stance that either party was actuated by • sincere desire to Wdoeed. their duty oa the comaion. (Cheers and cries of t• The subject then dropped. MR. ODO RUSSELL AND THE POPE. Mr. STIRLING rose to call the attention of the b ase to • perdu of the correspo nds's°. relating to the affairs of Rome. and to ask the Under Secretary of State for Forage Affairs whether there was any object ion to lay upon the table • copy of the despatch of Mr. Odo Resselk or of • part of it, reporting those words of the Pope dude; their easursadoe on the 26th July, 1982, which led to Earl Rummell's &must& of the !Mil of October, and the sugges tion that the Pope should retire to Malta. Mr. LAYARD said the government could not produce despatches of that description, which contained reports of confidential coaversatima. But the substance of the report of Mr. Odo Russell was set forth in the despatch of Earl Russell of the 29th of Jemmy, whisk led bees laid Wm* the house. BOWYER said that the Pepe la his converiation with Mr. Odo Rummell had alluded in a mere casual way to the possibility of his arbor a refuge on British territory. It was evident that too much importance had been attachr to that statement. Mr. LAYARD said that the relations of Mr. Ode Russell with the authorities at Rome had spin becalm as Matlif aCiolls they bad been et any previous period. Mr. H AS TINGS RUSSELL said that of coarse he could not contradict what the boo. hamar had said as to what in the conversation between Mr. Odo Russell and the rope,but it must be remembered that the circumstances were very different then to what they were now. Then Garibaldi wan marching on Rome from the meth, and the Vatican was alarmed sad the Preach gerral was concen trating him troops at Civite Vecchia. It must also be borne in mind that the Pope was not at all grateful to his Im perial protector, for he could not forget that be had lost two-thirds of his receipts whilst under the protection of France. If the conversation that actually occurred were published it would place his brother (Mr. Odo Russell) in • very awkward position at Rome ; besides, it would be con trary to all urge to publish a conversation with a sovereign, or to make use of a conversation which occurred at so critical • moment. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Stirling) had called attention to the abuse that the French papers coo= lavished on Mr. Odo Russell. The position el an sgeot in Rome was ono of great difficulty. (Hear, hoax) At every other capital the English agent could eo-operate with the representative of Francs, but in Rome there could be no such co-operation, because he represented a= which was entirely opposed to that of the embroider. In the opinion of the Inhabitants, the Eaglet' agent represented national independence, and the liberation of Rome from foreign compation—(bear, hear) — whilst in their opinion the French embroider represented the perpetual temporal power of the Pope rid the peeps toil occupaoey of Rome by foreign troops. This was a fatal positron, and nothing, be believed, could alter le He believed the moat prudent policy for our goverment was to have as little se possible to do with the Pops (cheers) and that they ought to lie the catholic powers get oat of the difficulty se best they could. Lord Rural had, in circumstances of very great difficulty, offered the Pope en asylum and protection at Malta ; bat instead of conciliating the catholic' of Europe, or even of Ragland, that offer had only irritated them, end they did not show the slightest gratitude. (Her, heat.) He could aware the hon. baronet that Mr. Ode Ituessire position was in no way changed by what had occurred, mad be must express his opinion that it wee only his brother's duty to report to his government the conversa tion which had occurred.

(Laughter.) Mr. Mansfield—lt would be desirable, for I really don't understand the game. (Laughter.) Proescutor—Well, sir, there is a lot together, and two are picked out to toes for wipers. The choosing goes on till an equal number is taken on both aides. Then there is " in'ards" and " ont'ards." The " out'ards" look out to catch the ball. The " beards" use a boas thick stick or staff, towards which the ball is thrown. " I o'ards" then strikes it with the stick, end it flies away, to the denser of your windows, face, and eves. Well, sir, the ball came and knocked at my door, and I went out and saw this lad strike it again. Mr. Mansfield (to defendant)—You young urchin, what have you to say ? Defendant—l was only playing in my dinner-hour. Mr. Mansfield—Urehui, you must not play this game in the streets at dinner or any other time ; for it is annoying to title gentleman to have the ball knocked against his door. The law says you moat not do so. (To prosecutor)—You need not call any witness, for the young vagabond has admitted the offence. He seems to be • very forward boy, and I shall fine him 6d. and 3. meta. THE MIJRDEFIRRA 01 MR.

Shortly after midnight on Thursday an explosion took place on Mesas. Curtis and Harvey's gunpowder works at Hounslow, by which three mills were instantaneously de stroyed, producing • concussion distinctly perceptible throughout • circle of five or six miles, many persons in Richmond and the neighbourhood having been disturbed by it. The premises destroyed were what are termed " in corporating mills," planes in which powder is received in a partially manufactured state, when paste would perhaps more accurately describe its condition. Placed in circular troughs it is here subjected to the action of immense metal rollers, which, revolving, grind the composition for certain periods of time according to the degree of strength re quired. These malls are regularly visited by skilled la bourers, whore duty it is to keep the composition in a suf ficiently moist condition to peanut accident, as if permitted to get too dry by friction or evaporation, there is always danger of explosioo. Accidents of this character rarely occur in the daytime, but the exigencies of powder manu facture are so great at the presort time that Messrs. Cur tis and Harvey's mills have been working through out the twenty-four hours for soma mouths past. They were doing so on Thursday night, and the men em ployed on the premises had not left the mills more than a few minutes when the " blow "occurred. Four of these incorporating mills adjoin each other on the banks of the river Colin, and it was the most western of these which seems to have exploded first. Two others followed almost with the same blast, and the fourth escaped only owing to its being rather more widely removed than the others from the adjoining building. By a recent act of parliament no manufacturer is allowed to work more than 601 b. weight of powder at • tune in one of these mills, and Mews. Curtis, to order to be within the law, do not allow more than 601 b. to be under the roller, although it is said to be a debateable question whether safety is in creased by the smallness of the bulk, owing to the greater rapidity of evaporation. The quantitLqwder destroyed was, therefore, under 200114., and so pawns has suffered bodily injury. The mills wen unroofed, and every plank used in their construction shattered; bat this is the extent of the accident, and the works will soon be in full operation again. GREAT WESYRRN RAILWAY. MEETING OF PROPRIETORS. (Concluded from yesterday's Evros.) After some further discumion the resolution was adopted, ands vote of thanks was passed to the committee for their valuable sessions_ _ _ _ Rear Admiral ODYFTS °Worded that a clause in the last report of the directors prupeesd that • retiring pension should be granted to Mr. Saunders, the seeretery. Mr. Saunders had •lware received • large salmi ; and bod e moreover, been presented with • handsome donation, and be therefore thought there wee no ground whatever for the proposal that he should have the advantage of a re. tiring allowance. After 201110 obsenations from Mr. BAXTER in regard to Mr. Saunders, whose abilities as the representative of this company before committees of the House of Commons he gladly extolled, • vote of thanks was passed to the chair man, and the besieges terminated. PARUAMMARY COMMITTEES. .17LLSID RITMO:T/MD CUSTOMS lOTA The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to esquire whether it would be practicable and ad vantageous to coneolidate any of the establuihmente now goverred by the Boards of Inland Revenue and Custom' respectively, or to unite any portion of the duties performed by their officers, with a view to economy in the collection of the public revenues and the simplicity of ansegement, met yesterday. Tho committee coedit, of the following members Mr. If (chairman). Mr. E. P. Boum* /Ir. W. Forster, Mr. Qurdwdl, Mr. Hankey, Sir W. Hoyt*, Mr. Bos omy, Mr. Laird, Mr. Liddell, Lard R. Montagu, Sir B. Northoote, Sir R. Grogan, Mr. Charles Turner, Sir H. Willoughby, end Mr. Bagwell. Mr. Rowland Hill was the first witness examined. He said, in reply to questions by the chairman—l have been in commuaication with the Inland Revenue Board with respect to the Natalia undertaking the sale of stamps. Au application was made by the beard in May last, inquiring whether the Postmaster-Osmond would undertake the general distribution of stamps. The distri butiee of stamps is a very simple matter. At present the subject is under investigation, and I cannot @peak rou ndest*, but I have no reason to doubt that the Post -office could undertake the distribution of all or nearly all the stamps that are sold. I think, in the course of two or three weeks, I shall be able to speak with some degree of oonfi deco, on the subject. Mr. Cockaboll, a merchant at Liverpool, formerly con mated with the Inland Re Department, stated that the general opinion in that town was in favour of an amalgama tion of the different departments to which the inquiries of the committee were directed. He considered a ocusiolida tion of the departments quite practicable, and from his own kuowlege of the working of the departments, he did not See any difficulty in the way of making such an arrangement. The whole of the duties could be satisfactorily levied and collected under one management. By Sir W. Hagar—Consolidation is desirable, but pm tiotlly its operatics would be confined to the port It would not have mods effect in the interior of the country. By Sir H. Willoughby—Consolidation would give peat facility to the operations of trade, and would be productive of economy, bates to the amount that could be eared I am unable to say : that restesall on matter, of detail. The committee this alio Tn PROPOOD PARK roe PENB2 l lllNo—iretterdiliy the weekly peeking of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held at the mike, Spring .gardens. Mr. Freeman, pursuant to notice, moved that the following resolu tion of the board of the 4th of March instant, via.: " That previous to the expiration of the Finsbury Park Act, the 17th of August, 1863, steps be taken for obtaining so much of the land shown upon the plan attached to the report of the Works Committee, 1857, for the formation of such park as is bounded on the north by Bevan Sisters rood, oe the art by Green-lane, on the south by dippss,y- lane, and on the west by Blackstooelans," be re ciadd. And in doing so, he said be thought it would be imprudent to spend such a large sum as would be required in the for mation of Finsbury -park, while there were several metro politan improvements of more importance and more desir able. The impression on his mind was that at the time when the motion was pried, which he now hoped would be rescinded, there were not sufacient members present to give the expresios of the board.—Mr. Deputy Harrier se conded the motion.—Mr. Savage said that as the mover of the original radial, be opposed the present or. He did pet doubt that the improvementa spoken of were very de sirable, but if they did not preserve open spree when they were able, in time there would be noir. —Mr. Doulton, M.P., supported the motion of Mr. Fr eeman , a n d h o p e d they would adjourn the subject, to see whether the parish of Finsbury were prepared to do the part, which he thought they ought to do, if they desired a park of this kind in their panab.—Mr. Dlffsinger rid he hoped they would support the Dialog, as this parks to be close to Florneey-wood. He said he thought the original motion wos brought forward to enhance the value d the surrounding property. He thought that they had parks enough in the metropolis at the present time, Min • brief discussion the motion was pat, aid upoe • division it was lost by 4, the numbers 'nisi 1 5 to 1 9 the ori4inal resolution of the board of the 4th of Marsh will therefore rand good The routine bri ar baying begs transacted, the beard ad CRYSTAL PAircra—thrz finuuriatn e . d LFAlDAy, Kum ea papoilat. 1,103 ; ditto by soros Maker.
