It was in a proprietary chapel in the Bloomsbury district that he, last year, silenced the foreign ministers. Re is sew is hut water with Mr. ClLtiorrove shout his sole of preaching in a similar place of worship ie L o sgocre; and some of these days we may see him fall foul of the teverend author el " Satess-1 yam' who occupies the Percy-street couveatiole. Doubtless proprietary chapels such as these, are make-shifts. Nowadays no one thinks of resorting to such irregular and defective means of church ex tension ; and the sootier they can be all used op se district churches the better. But bishops should re collect their origin ; how they were started to supply gnat and notorious deficiency of church accommoda tWO, how in these days the liberality, the means and the legal facilities of the potent time were wanting; . bow. wanting them, dissent would have received the overtlow of the old parish churches. And recoll..u:ting all this and the supineness, the indifference. and the perverseness of their prede cessors. bishops might be excused if they treated proprietary chapels, their ministers and their con gregations, with a little Ices haughtiness and a little more respect anti consideration than they do. But so it is—bishops look harshly and unkindly at them; and no bishop more so than CHAU= JAKEs of London. It must, however, be admitted that their incum bents arc not especially bishop-loving clergy; they cannot. of courses, belong to the high church party, for none of its member, would condescend to mecrifice or mediate within unconsecrated walls; and of the low church party, they are generally the lowest. They look more to their congregations than to their diocesans, and have much of the sturdiness and lade redeem of dissenters. They work hard, preach with vigour, and lecture frequently. Perhaps, we may add, that they love to see their names in large placards on the wall. Of this sort and school seems to have been Mr. fines - rove of Legg-acre—earnest, active, decided, and, if we judge correctly, a little strong and coarse. He took to delivering popular lectures on Tree tmianism : in them Ise - did not mince matters, but, from the pulpit, traced the growth of that system in London to the policy and the proceedings of the bishop. The taste of this, in a chapel to which he was licensed by the bishop, was perhaps questionable; the prudence no where ; bat the truth, to a great extent, undoubted. Tads,- Maoism would have spread in the diocese of London, had its present bishop bees a Ch'a'ins; bet its spread has, no doubt, been greatly encouraged by the fact that be is a BLONITIKLD. Neverthelees, it would have been quite as easy to have delivered convincing and powerful lectures on the subject, without turning the pulpit into a forum of ac- cusation, even against Bishop BLOKTILLD ; the lectures might not have been so popular or attractive, unspiced by the personality; Ist they would probably have been quite as enslave and instructive. And, aftsr we t ar even .. . ~., chapels are places for divine edi&e.- tion, not for polemical strife sad bitter ness. Exeter Hall is still sabissities of religion; — and for better lee.

A letter from Florence,of the 28th, in the Opiniccw of Turin, states that the ministerial crisis has under gone a great change. According to this account, M. Baklaseeroni has obtained the dismissal of the minis- tee, BocceHa, who advocates the abolition of the Leo poldine laws, and has consented in return to the abolition of the constitution, in order to deprive the Jews of the right of tilling public functions. A letter from Florence, in the Independatice of Brussels, states that M. Joachim Murat, French mi nister in that city, has addressed to the government a protest, in the name of France, against the reac tionary measures said to have been resolved on by the Grand Duke. TWO SICILIES. The Neapolitan government has authorised Lieut.- General Filangieri to treat with a company for the execution of a complete system of roads in the island of Sicily. GERMANY. BERLIN, NAT I. The Zoilverein congress is sifting taday, and dis owning the treaty with Hanover. In the present critical state of the Zollverein, • special interest attaches to the language of th ese up= whom the issue of the crisis will chiefly depend. Thus M. Manteuffel's reply to M. Rickert, made yes ta in the chamber, has been caught up and eagerly a commented on. M. Harbert was pressing to know what the government was preparing to do with respect to supplying the deficiency of Prussian consuls at various places. The minister replied that Prussia had made proposals on the subject to the representatives of the Zollverein states, and =peeled to attain the desired end with their aid. He added, " We have not sought the co-operation of Austria. I believe that Austrian commerce has other and separate interests. Let Austria pursue her I we will follow ours." The government bill on the constitution of the First Chamber, so unceremoniously flung into both houses on the 28th, was discussed on Mon day in the two committee& In that of the First Chamber it was accepted by a majority of 8 to 6 ; M. Bethmann-Hollweg op pos eng the measure. In the committee of the S ec ond Chamber it was rejected in favour of an amendment by M. Bodelsehwuigh, of Hagen, who :would seen to be one of those persons who are more royalist than the Bing. The government bill would leave the sing at liberty to cooks the right of nomination to seats in the Fiat Chamber upon corporations learned, preprielsry, or otherwise; amording to M.

The chamber has not authorised these diplomatic acts, nor will it ever sanction their fulfilment. The motion terminates by inviting the Foyernment to co-operate with Prussia, first in maintaining the Zoll- Term, and afterwards in forming an union with Austria on the basis of true economical principle. The discussion of this motion, which is now before a committee, is anxiously expected. AUSTRIAI•FITALY.

"My Lord,—lt is intended to hold a meeting at my Mme sleet ten days hence, for the promotion of free trade In beak Bearing in mind the expressed willingness of your heirdship, Mr. °vote, and the Dean of St. Paul's, to lea •Is any explanations which I and those who concur with me may be prepared to offer, and with the understand Mg that an interview with your lordship will not commit us to any ulterior course, it is probable that at the meeting about to take pboe„ a deputation will be appointed to wait ea your lordship for the purpose of stating the views we eatertalm end to furnish each arguments as we believe will peeve their eisereetness, in order that your lordship and the predated with you may be in possession of all C d fl i ernesteasery for the formation of a just opinion Win ebbing the representatives of the Booksellers' Moo! elation, who leave bound themselves to abide by your lord ship's decision. I shall be glad to know whether, in the event alma a deputation being appointed, it will be con venient to year lordship to favour us with an audienee, apart from the 'gentlemen who represent the Booksellers' liseon They have already adduced such evidence as We? ambl er 'sufficient to ensure your lordship's judgment Amour ; and as we have no desire to enter into a discussion with them on the subject, a separate ltdmslew would be more accordant with our views. 1 Malin to write before the meeting above referred to %bit in order to prevent inconvenience to your loni a*, Il that your lordship has already consented to theeethili te preentatives of the Booksellers' Association on Ms Ma el Kay.—l em, my lord, your lordship's obedient sermeit, • " JOHN Cnarman." " Stratheden House, April 28, 1152. " Sir ' —I myself would be meet happy—and so I am sure would the Dean of St. Paul's and Mr. Grote—to confer with the deputation you mention, upon the terms you propose. But, instead of your coming to us separately, I strongly advise you to attend here on the 17th of May. W appointed that day expressly to afford you an opportunity of meeting us, and by no means exclusively for the anode tier Yon may depend upon it, that from the proposed arrangement nothing unpleasant to any of the parties eon 001111 f. " I remain, your obedient servant, " John Chapman, Esq." " C AAAAA LL. Lord Campbell fully understanding that while his opinion would be respected, his arbitration:was not to be accepted ea find or decisive. The "statement" of Mr. Chapman was, in effect, a reproduction of the documents and argu ments with which the math is already familiar. It was listened to throughout with great interest. Mr. BABBAGE moved*. ant resolution: "The pin elples of free trade hada fp : o r been established by ex perience as well as by ant, it is the opinion of this meeting ,that they ought te be applied to books, as to other articles of ecurneree." The principles el:re aligned ha this nest rim be had held all his life, !VIIMIon to SW ebiegmese of literature as to _._ROBERT BELL esessebei the resolution. Re re garded this indirse e 2 as anirdlies question, the sale of as ingther's t upon the price of thekoh. l b i s r si ted • = lll l=irthe expression " free both" twee disteredy need he the resolution. The phrase might leave some wrong quad-political impressions, and might deter the alliance of some friends; and, further than that, he gqairtiesed if competition, properly considered as oempsWfw k the ordinary commercial sense, would be mated m applying to the book trade. For irgessee, be meld not see how Mr. Macaulay's 'Mist ,' * any similar distinctly eminent book, could be as helm exposed to competition. In the main in the resolution he entirely agreed. neall i = tne absolute proprietor of the copy which he purchased ; and it was obviously his right to sell that property at whatever price he pleased. Perhaps there might be unfair underselling, if all restrictions were re moved; and this was to be avoided by the publisher dimi nishing the margin of allowance between the advertised and the trade price. Mr. T. SAUNDERS (bookseller, of Charing-cross), ad dressed the meeting. The gist of his observations was that the Booksellers' Association was proceeding upon the fairest prbriples of trade, and that the restrictions which were kept up were necessary for the protection of the dealer. " Free trade" bad nothing m do with the question. Mr. GEORGE WILLIS took the same view as Mr. Saunders, and altogether denied the right of such a meet iag to meddle in trade arrangementa. Mr. SOTHERON followed on the same side • and an angry discussion arose as to the precise point; at issue. (An amendment directly opposed to the resolution was proposed by Mews. Willis and Sahara, and afterwards withdrawn ; and. supplementary dissuasion was then pro voked as to the right of Messrs. flounders, Willis, and So thane Wei present Mr. Chapman said the meeting had been convened foe a specific object, gentlemen holding • set of opinions only on the question •L ar i t t al g & peon invited • and he explained that on banding one of the deciders to Mr. Saunders, be bed tikes for granted that that gentleman would not oar to take part in the proceedings. He was surprised, therefore, that Mr. Saunders and his friends should have not oily spoken, but moved an amendment Hesempoe. Mous. Saamises, Willis, and Sotheron offered is withdraw • but Mr. Chapman banged that they would not de so; aid the eheisems, with the evident approbation of tbe ameting, experedi his determination, disientients bag present, to beer ail that they had to say, and fairly to pmt whatever peepseitiene they might think fit to make. The reedatheic efter some they conversation, was married k three bands esly being held up against it. Me. CRAM* MINIMS propose d, and Mr. TOY TAYLOR Millaisl o dreamt Posibilia:— . That the principles (lithe Meekselisn' Assashathsa en not only opposed to those et free trade, but ere exinonsly tyrannical and vexatious in their application, and result in keeping the prices of books much higher than they would otherwise be, thus restrict. ing their sale, to the great injury of authors, the public, and of all connected with literature." Mr. RUSH (of the Arm of Bickers and Bush) spoke to the resolution. In his opinion, the association which came to him to dictate the terms on which he should deal with his customers might be properly heeded over to the police. (Laughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously, the three dis sentients ceasing to offer further opposition. The third resolution, which was carried, was proposed by Profiteer NRWMAN, and seconded by Professor ANSTED " This meeting considers the peculiarity of the book trade—. vie., that the publisher fixes and advertise+ the retail pries of his publiestions—no valid argument fm the maintenance of the present restrictive system, and that the leas the office of promoting the retail ale is centralised in the publisher, and the more it devolves on the local bookseller, the better for the commerce of literature." Professor OWEN proposed the neat resolution—" That the lade metrictioes,falling as they do with peculiar severity of a aompagat id i t h a e i e n g u lY h nted e p li r ro m b to ran i ta t th ed b c lenue h ai . es an r : a o d l f ,H a in ti m e a d i a il e e h ru cl a re dan a an w ti ll 1 immotobetohyiCreby publi sh sen rend e ring i t t e ghk: Ine Court.

Mr. Dickens under took to write to Lord Campbell, and to explain that the meeting had declined to appoint a committee as a depu tation, on the ground that as the only appeal made by the gentlemen constituting the meeting was to oho public, it would net bo courteous to his lord eh ip to act in a manner implying in its,.

TILE COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR WIGAN. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the un fortunate colliers killed on the 24th ult., at the Hoary-hull Colliery, sear Wigan, was held yesterday, before Mr. Dfif field, of Prescot, coronae for the West Derby hundred of Lancashire. The number of persons who have di e d in con sequence of injuries from the explosion to this time wm 12. Peter °retinal said he was a collier, and worked in the lowest drift but one of the mine on the 24th ult., which was the part of the workings that the explosion occurred in. Had worked there a mouth, and sometimes worked with a Davy limp and sometimes with a candle. James Atherton worked in the lowest drift of the old workings below witness ; John Atherton neat above wit ness; and James Ilitchen next above him. Witness worked in the mine till 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when he left his drawers to get out the coal, and ascended the shaft. He met his drawers on his way out, and noticed that they had their Davy lamps closed. Left John Atherton and James Ilitchen at work. He did not pass James Atherton when he left, but saw him still at work a little time previously. Witness worked that day both with a lamp and • naked candle. When he used the lamp it was with the top off. Cueron, the underlooker, and the firemen, had seen him work in that way, end never forbade him, though he had seen Cuerton lock the lamps of the men who worked on the opposite side of the pony road. Had never had reason to believe there was any rule against using the candle or the open lamp. Between the place where witness worked and that where John Atherton worked, there was a "cut-through" to let air from the main drift into their drift. This cut-through having no stopping would prevent the air going round to where James Atherton worked, to some extent ; but when be was lest iu James Atherton's place, there teemed to be a good air. Where witness worked there was good air but the draught did not blow out his candle or particu• lari disturb the flame. Had seen Thomas Melling , work with • candle, and Mailings had seen him work with a candle. Thomas Parr, a collier working in another pit, said he heard the explosion on this occasion. It took place on the 24th ult., and he went to menet in getting out the deeeas d and other workmen. Roger Bannister, a boy aged 14, drawer to John Ather ton, said he was working in the mine when the explosion took place. He was in John Atherton's place, and near Kitchen, riddling coal. The fire came up from towards James Atherton's place. It came from towards the sink in the old workings. His master told him the fire was coming, and he lay down. He hail just time to turn and see the fire before ho lay down. Felt the fire pass over him. It did not turn . back, but went forward, leaving sulphur behind very bad. He saw the fire after it bad passed. Witness had a lamp with the top screwed on, but the top of his master's lamp was off. Was undresse d and naked to the waist, end so was his brother, who was also there, and helping him to riddle coals when the fire came. All their lights were put out by the sulphur, which was so strong he could hardly breathe. John Atherton ran out end left them, but he and his brother were used to the road though it was dark, and found their way into the pony-road, and thence, without injury, to the bottom of the shalt. His master always workel with an open lamp, but had seen all of them urn candles • few weeks back, till they had two lamps each supplied. They required two lamps for each collier, one for his own use and one for the use of his drawers. Never heard the firemen or anderlookers blame his master for using his lamp with the game exposed. Had seen the lamps used on the other side the pony read locked, and the under lookers kept the key. They snuffed their lamps by a wire which they put through the netting. This wire was too thin to injure the netting. Could have unfastened lai• own lamp, because it was not locked. [This boy confirmed the statement of Oreenal, that there was no brattiec or stopping either in the drift where his master worked or in the "cut-through" front it, so that the air for ventilation would take through these openings chiefly as the shorte-t cut, instead of the drift where James Atherton was, sup posed to have been the origin of the explosion.] John Greenell said be worked in the Norley Hall pit at the time of the accident, but more than 100 yards abort of the far end. He had always worked with candles till atter this accident. Found their own candles. The meet. rs found lamps, but not the oil. Never tried to open a lamp without the key, but heard of the locks being opened with a stick. He had worked with candle since the explosion, but that was in another pit. Thomas Melling, who had been examined on a previous day, and had stated that the lamps of all the colliers had been locked, and that they never worked with candles, was now recalled, is consequence of Peter Greenell's state ments. Ho reiterated his statement on oath that he had never worked with candles, or with the top of his lamp off, and that he had never seen other colliers work with candles or with the tops of their lamps off. If any of them said they had worked with candles, and with the tops of their lamps off, he should say they told falsehoods. James Derbiahire examined—One of the deceased, named William Derbishire ' was his cousin. Worked from 200 to 300 yards from th e far end. He wed both lamp and candle, but the lamp in • morning. In his place the fire man or underlooker placed a lighted candle for him, to in dicate that all was safe, every morning. When the place was foul he was told to am a lamp till ho hail driven the foul air out. The Coroner here inquired from the superintendent of police if James Atherton, in whose part of the workings the carburetted hydrogen was supposed to have been ignited, and John Atherton, who worked near him, were likely to recover so as to give evidence. The superintendent re plied that Johs Atherton was likely to be much recovered fa s few days. The jury expressed their opinion that as the evidence obtained to-day contradicted very materially the evidence on the first day of the inquest by one of the underlookers, which was to the effect that there was a brat lice or stopping in the " cat-through," and that all the men were obliged to work with lamps that were locked, it was desirable to adjourn for the purpose of having the Ather tons as witnesses. Under these circumstances, the inquest was adjourned to Wednesday, the 12th inst., when the evi dence of Mr. Wynne, government inspector of mines for the district, will be taken. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN ONE OE THS PEOPI.E . 4 PALMS, MANCHRBTiI.—On Monday afternoon, a married woman, named Hannah Normanton, whilst walking in Pissl.park, Salford, one of the new places of recreation for the reeking claws of Manchester and Salford, attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river Irwell, which forms the eastern boundary of the park. She was cl ec u led by the lodgo•keeper, who gave an alarm, and Mr. Gibbons, head gardener in the park, was arnlngst these who ran to assist in rescuing the woman. Gibbons tedfearlessly and unhesitatingly into the water, and hold of the woman as she floated by her elodses on the surface, and it was thought would readily mooed in bringing her ashore. Nonnautou, howevkr, absent instantly seised him with a convulsive grasp by the tack of the neck and forced his head under water, and soon afterwards he sank. Sonic time elapsed before either of bodies were recovered, but that of the woman was brought ashore first, and being carried to the Salford Pis ilry animation was soon restored. The body of Gib bons was not recovered until after Mr. David Chadwick, the borough treasurer, had offered a reward of a sort reign to any one who found it, and then some men who had held aloof in consequence of the river being known to he deep there, and to have a very treacherous bottom, sprang in and ultimately brought it ashore. Tho most skilful means were used to restore anima tion in vain—the body had been under water half an hour. Mr. Gibbons was highly esteemed by the Park Committee and all who knew him. He has left a widow and three children unprovided fur, and an attempt is making to raise a subscription for them. The woman through whose rashness his life has been sacrificed had Men afflicted with insanity, and tact September was in the workhouse, her husband paying 3s. ed. per week for her. In December she was discharged, and had since been ad mitted an out-patient of the dispensary. She has been asked why she threw herself into the river, and her answer was, that 611411 was seised with a swimming of the head and could not blip it.
