Ir is devoutly to be wished, and perhaps faintly to be expected, that when the Reformed House of Commons meets in 1869 or 1870 it may find an enlarged and remodelled chamber in which to assemble. The Reform Bill of 1832 was followed by the fire which destroyed the old House in 1834. We do not recommend this precedent for imitation ; but what accident did then delibera tion may more wisely accomplish now. Mr. Dm- HALL' threatens us with an increase in the number of members. The old chamber was enlarged in 1800 to receive the Irish contingent which the Act of Union drafted into the chapel of St. Stephen's. The Scotch Reform Bill, which is the work cut out for the next session, is to give us —if the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER adheres to his first intention and can persuade Parlia ment to adopt it—more Scotch representatives. Where will room be found for them ? The House of Commons is too small for its present occupants. There is accommodation on the floor and in the galleries for four hundred and thirty members out of six hundred and fifty-eight. It is true that the House is seldom full ; that is to say, that members attend very laxly to their duties ; but it may be hoped that the members of the Reformed Parlia ment will be more conscientious. At any rate, it is undesirable that they should have so good an excuse for absenteeism as the perpetuation of the present state of things would afford them. The possibility of making some change in the arrange ments of the House of Commons so as to enable a greater number of members to hear and take part in its proceedings was last session referred to a Select Committee, which took evidence, and recommended the further prosecution of the in quiry next year. No optimist has been found satisfied with things as they are. Private mem bers, members of the Government, reporters, officers of the House, and architects, all condemn the existing arrangements. Not very long since, a protracted and animated discussion took place in the columns of a contemporary as to the author ship of the designs from which the present Houses of Parliament were constructed. Whether the ' national monument of extravagance, inconveni ence, and gorgeous bad taste shall be known to posterity as " BARRY'S Folly," or as PuolN's, is a matter of secondary importance. The repre sentative of the late Sir CasaLra BARRY, while claiming for his father the credit of the designs as a whole, feels it necessary to disavow responsibility for the construction of the chamber in which the Commons meet. Sir CHARLES was bound, his son states, by strict instructions as to the dimensions of the House, and the accommoda tion which he originally provided has been since restricted. Of the several plans for the enlarge ment of the House suggested to the Committee by Mr. E. M. Baser, the most comprehensive would leave a hundred members without seats. A plan proposed by Mr. Titonsos HANICEY would find room for as many as six hundred and ten. The need of easier AreP•gl to the libraries, committee-rooms, and refresh ment-rooms, and of private rooms in which ministers may meet and members confer with their constituents, was the subject of interesting evidence. On all these points we might perhaps trust members of the House of Commons to con sult their own comfort and convenience, which is that of the 'public, if some among them were not apparently possessed by a relic of the old jealousy of making the House of Commons too popular. Their idea of it seems to be that of a sort of legislative bank parlour, or pri vate committee room, rather than that of a hall of public assembly. To be small, close, and incon venient, and fitted for conversation across the table more naturally than for debate, is in their eyes a positive merit. This feeling conies strongly into play whenever the reporters' gallery is in question. The fiction that the short-hand writers are there on sufferance is dear to the hearts of many honourable members, who nevertheless when they speak, speak less to be heardthan to be reported. Thecelebrated resolution of the 13th of April, 1738, in which the House of Commons denounced the printing of any ac count of the debates or other proceedings of the House as a high indignity and notorious breach of privilege, and threatened to proceed with the ut most severity against offenders, was natural enough in times when the House of Commons represented private interests and practically disowned public responsibility. In the days in which Dr. Joassois, always taking good care that the Whig dogs had not the boat of the argument, wrote the de bates of the Senate of Lilliput, in which Hutto° HICKRAD or Wimata. Pr tsus denounced the ambitious designs of the neighbouring nation of Ble fuscu, or pointed out the danger of the metropolis of Mildendo ; or at the later period when BURKE " strained his throat," less to guide public opinion than " to persuade Tommy Towitsawn to lend him I "a vote ;" wheu divisions were turned by private' memoranda from the KING announcing that he should account as his enemies all those who voted for a particular measure or ministry —report ing was naturally disliked. It was an appeal to the public, and the House of THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1867. Commons of that day was the creature of indirect influences, royal, aristocratic, and borough mongering, with which the public had nothing to do. It let in the daylight upon transactions malted to the dark. Now, when Ministers and Opposition, and individual members, depend on public opinion and are strong only as they guide or follow it, the grudging and scanty accommodation afforded to its representatives in the Strangers', and still more in the Reporters' Gallery, is an absurdity. We cannot agree with one of the witnesses before the Select Committee that the reporters ought to be regarded as officials of the House. Reporters are and must remain the newspaper employes, a position to which they owe that discretion as to the promi nence to be given to particular topics and speakers which is perfectly compatible with strict fidelity, and without the exercise of which the printed de bates would be unreadable. The demand of the same witness that Parliament should furnish the reporters' room with gazetteers and atlases, and a Delphin edition of the classics, is, perhaps, a little unreasonable. If the Delphin classics, why not the British poets ? and if gazetteers and atlases, why not a library of history and biography ? The principle has no limit. What may reasonably be asked is that space and the physical conditions for discharging with comfort very arduous duties should be provided : a suitable refreshment room, but not gratuitous refreshments ; a room for books, but not the books as a gift. The suggestion that the reporters' gallery should be removed from the control of the Sergeant at-Arms and placed under that of the House itself has little to recommend it. The House would be compelled to exercise its authority through an official, and there is no reason to think that misunderstandings with him would be fewer than those which arise now with the present officers. Lord CHARLES RUSSELL, so far as the evidence enables us to judge, does his best with the space at his command, and under the conditions which the Parliamentary regulations allow. The fact is that the present arrangement of the House does not afford convenient accommoda tion for the representatives of the Press, including both reporters and leader-writers under that desig nation. They are there, it is true, on their own business, but the satisfactory discharge of their own business coincides with the interest of the House of Commons that a full and trustworthy record of its proceedings should be placed day by day before the public with a simultaneous criticism or commentary. The Press needs more space and worthier accommodation, and the necessities of the Press are the interests of the public and those of the House of Commons, but once removed. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) conclusion that little will be done to cheapen residence in Oxford and Cambridge unless parliament interferes. The quality of the electoral body at Oxford in particular is such as toforkdd the bopeof thenniversityeffecting the necessary alterations itself. On Thursday week the congregation of Oxford will be invited to consider a statute to the effect that, if a college or hall should see It to educate students gratuitously, such students may board and lodge in pri vate houses ; and another statute extending, under cer tain conditions, to other than the sons of noblemen and the eldest sons of knights the privileges of graduating after two years' residence and three yearn' standing. The first of these, inoffering gratuitous instruction, is needlessly offensive. It is a cheap education which is wanted, and not one which is given in charity. The other proposal is intended to enlarge the monopoly of the colleges, at the expense of time hitherto devoted to academical training within the university. The object of academical reformers is not to shorten the time of residence in Oxford, but to make residence cheaper while it lasts. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BANQUET TO THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. PARIS, Ocr. 29. A grand banquet was given at the Hotel de Ville yesterday in honour of the Emperor of Austria. Besides the illustrious guest the Emperor Napo leon, the Impress, several Princes and Princesses, the members of the Corps Diplomatique, and many high dignitaries were present. The Emperor Napoleon proposed a toast to the Emperor and Empress of Austria as the expression of the profound sympathy towards the person and family of the Emperor and Austria. The Emperor of Austria, in returning thanks, expressed his desire that all discord which had pre viously separated two countries, called to march forward together in the paths of progress and civi lisation, should be buried in oblivion. His Majesty concluded by proposing a toast to the Emperor and Empress of the French, the Prince Imperial, France, and the City of Paris. The toast was most warmly applauded. Upon leaving the Hotel de Ville their Majesties were cheered by an immense crowd. MI ITALIAN ClllBlB. The Daily News points out that the King of Italy's proclamation, which it terms a most pitiful oompo *Hien, makes no allusion to the foreign intervention, which, as its author well knew, was at the very time in ovine of execution. Three weeks ago the declarations it contains would have done him honour, but his government has permitted the moment for asserting the national inde pendence to pass away. There is not an idea in the proclamation that can be called national, and it is not by such a document that the public spirit of Italy im to be rallied to the throne. A melancholy interest now attaches to the reports of those military achieve ments of patriotic Italians which, according to all appearance, are predoorned to end in vain sacrifices. If Garibaldi's movements were governed exclusively by the ordinary maxims of war, we should not be in much doubt as to the oonrse which he would, under these cir cumstances, adopt. If the Papal garrison could hold Rome for four-and-twenty hours, the General might find himself between two fires. But the language he held at Florence this time last week shows that be wu prepared for a situation as extreme as this. He has meditated on the characters of Louis Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel until he has acquired the conviction that he can best save Italy by dying for her at Rome, and before many days are over we may hear that the dark policy of the French Emperor has tound one more illustrious victim. The Tines thinks the proclamation, which is based on principles which are sound and statesmanlike, may yet save Italy from present humiliation and the Emperor Napoleon from a future Nemesis. It will have rendered the enterprise of Garibaldi hopeless, if indeed he is still on the field. That Victor Emmanuel, in the presence of a French intervention, will rally the nation round him admits of no reasonable doubt at all. The next step the Times supposes will be the invitation to the Italian government, if not the peat powers of Europe, to a con ference on the affairs of Rome. A joint occupation of the city, in the meantime, by the French and Italian troops would save the honour of both governments, and deprive his intervention of a hostile character. If the bands of volunteer should now retire from the papal territory, it will be in deference to the positive commands of their own Ring, and not to foreign dictation. The Post thinks the question must certainly arise within • very few days whether Pio Nono will not consent I to accept a magnificent endowment, with his independence in the Vatican guaranteed by the catholic states of Europe, and a constitutional establishment of • " Free church in a free stater The Standard trusts the Emperor will show that msg. nanimity on which the Italian King evidently relies, and that he will be too generous to resent the advance of the Italian troops into the Papal states. The only question is whether the Italian troops Cr, under sufficiently good dia. aipline to see the Carib&Wiens beaten by French soldiers, or to compel them to lay down their arms if they should resist the summons. To the Star the proclamation seems so feeble and pia , poseless as to look very mum as if the King and his ad visers bad really allowed the thing to go on in the hope of extracting some advantage from it, and in the belief that Franco would not actually intervene by arms. It would be impossible to blame Victor Emmanuel because he shrinks from war with so unequal an antagonist as France. But it is equally impossible to doubt that there was a period in the history of the present crisis when it was open to the King to avert at once the danger of war and the certainty of disgrace; that be allowed that period to peas away, and that now it is irrevocable. THE PRICE OP TOOD. The discussion in the columns of the Times has proved, our contemporary says, beyond doubt, that butchers are °barging prices which cannot possibly be justified by the state of the market. Before the cattle of Australia and South America can be rendered fit for general consumption they must be fed on a different systen.. Now that there is such an evident demand for meat wo are assured that the necessary alteration will be introduced. If Australian beef is good now at 7d. per lb., we may be sure that both Australian and South American beef will be better and cheaper in two or three years. But this apart, English provisions ought all to be • great deal cheaper than they are. Exorbitant prices are partly due to the force of habit, and to the discovery by tradesmen of certain classes who will pay almost any price for the best articles. The clubs are to be blamed in particular for having contributed by their indolence to establish a standard which weighs heavily on private purses. The practice of giving credit is another cause that might be admitted. In face of the facts now made known, however, the Times is inclined to think a good customer will generally be able, by a de cided remonstrance, to obtain from his butcher a con siderable reduction of price. But this only solves the difficulty for • time. A permanent solution requires that there should be many more markets as in French towns. Co-operative agencies in the shape of companies or extensive firms, supply another means by which prices may be lowered to a moderate level. Meanwhile any tradesman who would adopt • more reasonable scale of prices ought to be sure of an ample custom. If be does not obtain it, the public deserve to be fleeced. MIME/OTT ILIVOIIIt. Judging from present foots the Daily News comes to the THE CONSERVATIVE woiento MAN. The Standard appeals in earnest terms to the" conserva tive working man" to support the fête at the Crystal Palace on the 11th of next month. Just at this time it is highly important that we should be able to distinguish the true reformers from the false—the sincere amenders of the constitution from its would-be destroyers—the loyal people of England from the sympathiser. with Fenianism. It must not be made a reproach to the conservative party that they have achieved a victory of which they are doubtful, or performed a work which they distrust. It is particularly important that men of all classes should come forward to disprove the malignant slander of " the radical press," which charges them with insincerity as reformers. The conservative leaders have no reason to be uhamed of the fellowship of the working men of their denomination, for, adds the Standard, "it has been their h►bit to be deferent to their inferiors in social rank." On the present occasion it is especially Incumbent on the conservative leaders not to neglect this power of personal communion. For the political chiefs of the party the Standard cannot imagine any finer opportunity of announcing to the mass of their followers the true nature of the work which has been accomplished, and its spirit and tendency. the Court.

The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort will shortly receive a largo party of friends at Badmintos. The Marchioness (Dowager) of Waterford left town yesterday for Curraghmore. Early in December the Marquis of Waterford will leave London on leave of ab sence for Curraghmore, when his lordship will receive • succession of distinguished friends. The Earl Grosvenor, M.P., is about to dispose of his hunting stud, having made arrangements to leave England next month to pass the winter in Italy, accom panied by Lady Constance Grosvenor and family. The marriage of Lady Agneta Yorke, youugest daughter of the Earl ani Countess of Hardwicke, and the Hon. Victor G. P. Montagu, son of the Earl of Sandwich, will take pbsoe at the close of the month. The marriage is expected to be solemnised at Wimpole. The Cork Examiner is highly indignant with Biahop Goss for having, in the course of an address which he recently gave in Liverpool upon the want of modesty in the females of the present day, stated that at a ball in the above-named city it was remarked the Roman catholic ladies exposed more of their bosoms than the protestants did. This charge the Examiner pronounces to be a libel upon its fair co-rellgionisto, and it recommends the bishop, before he repeats it, to take the first opportunity of "per sonally judging" whether he has not done them a great injustice. It is of comparatively little use to curtail the pageant on Lord Mayor'► Day if the ponderous state coach is to be retained as part of it, seeing that the pace will be thereby retarded as much as ever. Few people are, pro bably, aware that the coach, when empty, weighs nearly five tons. Although drawn by six bones, in turning a corner the dr►ught is thrown almost entirely upon the two wheelers, which are often much exhausted in oonsequenco for the moment, notwithstanding their fine condition, and the bystanders before now have had to assist in the diffi culty. The new Hants County Hospital at Winchester will, it is expected,be opened in the beginning of next year. The Rants hospital was the first county hospital estab lished. It was established in 1736 through the exertions of Dr. Alured Clarke. & prebendary of Winchester Cathe dral, and afterwards Dean of Exeter. In 1737, 130 years ago, there were 251 in-patients and 80 out-patients. The out-patients this year number 934 and the casual patients 2,569. During the first year of the new hospital Sir William Heathcote, Bart., M.P., has undertaken to pay the expense of the nursing department of the hospital. The Prince Imperial has commenced his course of university instruction. The Bonaparte College, first chosen in alphabetical order, hu appointed M. Edeline, professor of one of the junior classes, to attend at St. Cloud to teach the subjects of his course. The lessons are given daily from 12 to 1 o'clock. Each succeeding year a higher order of studies will be pursued, until the Prince shall be so far advanced as to compete for the bacoalau rest., which he is to do in the midst of the other young students. DEATH OF LORD WROTTEALEY. —The death of Lord Wrottesley, a nobleman who has for many year* past devoted himself to the interest of science 2 is announced this morning. He was born in August, 1, 98, and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he took his degree of ILA. in 1819, taking a first class in Diaciplinis blathematicis et Physicis. He took a H.A. in 1823, and in the same year was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's-inn. lie was married, in 1821, toSophia Elizabeth, third daughter of the late Thos.Gifford, of Esq., Chillington. In 1839 he received the go ld me d a l o f the Royal Astronomical Society, of which he was one of the founders in 1820. for his "Catalogue of the Right Ascensions of 1,318 Stars." In 1853 he called the attention of the House of Lords to Lieutenant Maury's scheme of meteorological observations and discoveries, and on the 30th November, 1854, succeeded the Earl of Roue as President of the Royal Society, which he resigned in 1857, being succeeded by Sir Benjamin Brodie, Bart. He has served in several royal commissions, and is the author of a work entitled "Thoughts on Government and Legislation." The deceased peer was the second baron. In 1841 he succeeded his father, the first baron, who from 1820 to 1838 represented Staffordshire in the House of Common., and who was raised to the peerage in 1838, on the recommendation of Lord Melbourne, who then was Prime Minister. Connected with the Wrot tesley barony is a baronetcy created in 1642, the first baronet having received his title for services in the royal cause during the civil wars. Lord Wrottesley is succeeded in his title and estates by his son Arthur, who was born in 1824, and was educated at Rugby and at Christ Church, Oxford, where be took his degree of B.A. in 1848. He has been captain of the Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry since 1832, and Major of the 2nd Staffordshire Militia since 1855. He was married in 1861 to the Hon. Augusta Elizabeth Denison, daughter of the first Baron Londe*. 1 borough, sister of the present peer. THE HEALTH OF SIR NORTON KHATCHRIILL.— We are much pleased to announce that a change for the better has taken place in the health of this much respected gentleman. He has been very ill—dangerously so, in fact, for some time ; but he is now considered out of danger, ' and is making as much progress as the nature of his malady will permit.—Bentish Oaxtte. THE ROMAN CRISIS-PROGRESS OF GARIBALDI. It was on the 23rd that Garibaldi, after having announced in Florence that he had a mission to I perform and that he would either accomplish it or die, crossed the Roman frontier. Before he did so, however, he addressed his volunteers, who amounted at this time to about 3,500, in a short speech, and with a voice that trembled with emotion, "Let those," said he, " who arenot willing to die leave the ranks ; let those who have not strength enough to endure fatigue, long marches, cold, hunger, and thirst, go home. I have nothing to give you, and I can promise you nothing except perhaps to die. If this does not suit you, go away." Addressing Menotti, he said :—" I have given such orders, what do you think of them I" " Excellent, nothing better." " Then I will go forward to Corese." "We shall follow you." Garibaldi then sat down in a poor auberge to a repast of bread and cheese and soon after moved forward towards Corese. On the following day, the 24th, he occupied Corese, Monte Libieti, and Monte Mag giore, having collected together the different bands previously commanded by Menotti, Caldesi' Salamone, Mosto, and Friggesi, who were reported to be defeated, disheartened, and dispersed. On the 25th he arrived ►t Monte Rotondo. Here he encountered the Papal troops. According to the Moniteur he failed in two attacks upon this place, but it admits that he had left it behind him and was pn the march to Rome. The Paris Preaae of yesterday evening, however, says that he took Monte Rotondo. Whether he took it or left it behind him in the hands of the Papal troops, it is evident he must have defeated them so as to render them incapable of arresting his onward pro gress, for he was at the gates of Rome yesterday. Here we must leave him for the present. The ex citement in Rome was at its height. Rumours were flying about the city, " Garibaldi was out side," " The Italian army had crossed the frontier," " The French fleet was in sight." Such were the reports that circulated in accordance with the fears or wishes of the inhabi tants. What is certain is that the authorities in side the city are afraid of a repetition of the insur rection which took place on:the evening of the 22nd, which appears to have been more serious than was represented by the Roman authorities. Withoutan insurrection inside the town, it will hardly be possible for any amount of personal bravery, un assisted by artillery, to overcome the defence works which have been raised in anticipation of a visit from the Garibaldians. It appears that French officers are directing the preparations fo the defence. Generals Dumont and Prndhon are reported to be in Rome for this purpose- Colonel de Charette is said to have been appointed to command the force which is to operate against Garibaldi, whilst Colonel D'Argy looks after the peace and order of the city inside. The names of French, Belgians, Dutch, Swiss, and even Englishmen, are reported as amongst the defenders in the Roman capital, whilst the correspon dent of the Dibats says that the insurrection of the 22nd was wholly and purely Roman in its character. The Garibaldian movement is supported by public demonstrations throughout Italy. General Durando, the governor of Naples, addressed the people who appeared before his house with cries of " Rome for ever," " No foreign intervention :" Fellow Citizens,—l accept with pleasure the generous and patriotic sentiments expressed by the Elsie of the population of this noble city, and Isbell be the interpreter of them to the government Fellow citizens! although the obstacles are great, I am nevertheless confident that the unity of Italy will be accomplished. (Bravos.) The greater, the stronger, and the longer the resistance, the more vigorous shall be our efforts to arrive at the unity of the nation. (Bravos.) (REUTER% TELIGIL•118.) FRENCH CIRCULAR ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS. OCT. 29. A circular note dated 25th inst., has been ad dressed by the Marquis de Moustier to the French diplomatic agents abroad in which he says : " We do not wish at this moment to occupy ourselves with enumerating the successive incidents which have given rise to, and pushed to extreme conse quences, a crisis as threatening to the security of the Holy See as it is dangerous to the true interests of Italy. It suffices for us to regard them from the point of view of our right and our honour, and to confirm the duty for us resulting therefrom. " The September Convention has been induced and freely signed by the Italian government. It obliged that government to protect efficaciously the frontier of the Pontifical States against all aggression from without. No one can now doubt that this obligation has not been fulfilled, and that we have a right to replace matters in the position they occupied prior to the loyal and complete ex ecution of our own engagements by the evacuation of Rome. Our honour certainly imposes upon us the duty of not failing to recognise the hopes founded by the catholic world upon the value of a treaty bearing our signature. " Let us hasten to say, however, that we do not wish to revive in the old form an occupation of whose gravity no one is better aware than we are. We are not animated by any hostile idea towards Italy, and we faithfully retain the remembrance of all ties which unite us with her. We are con vinced that the spirit of order and legality, the only possible basis for her prosperity and her greatness, will nut delay in loudly asserting itself. As soon as the Pontifical territory shall be libe rated, and security is re-established, we shall have accomplished our task, and we shall withdraw. But henceforth we must call the attention of Powers as much interested as we ourselves are in causing the principles of order and stability to prevail in Europe to the reciprocal situation of Italy in the Holy See. " We do not doubt that they will consider, with a sincere desire to settle them, the questions to which so large a number of their subjects attach moral and religious interests of the most elevated I character. " Such, sir, are the considerations you will take care to set forth, and which I feel confident the government to which you are accredited will ap preciate. " blocsviza." ITALY. FLORENCE, Ocr. 2:F4, Evmsa. It is stated that Deputy Broglio has accepted the portfolio of Minister of Public Instruction. Garibaldi is said to have left Monte Rotondo yesterday, and to have gone to the hills near For nova. About 300 papal troops have arrived at Terni as prisoners, but were set at liberty by the Italian authorities. The Opinione says that General Lamarmora has left for Paris on a confidential mission to the Em peror. The ministry intend to convoke the Italian par liament in the latter part of November. 1;: listrooko. B.a. T. & ' W. 1 ...--,--...., W. & I to I 12 12. I 0. 9.

ALBANS, HOLBORN. MARTIN e. THE REV. A. H. MACKONOCKIE. This case, to which a great deal of public interest attaches, aa the decision will form a precedent en the question of ritualism, came on for hearing this moraine at the Arches Court, Westminster. In the ordinary comae it would have come before Sir Robert Phillimore, as Dean of the Arches, but the promoter haring objected to hie sitting as judge, on the ground that he has acted as counsel for the defendant, a special commission was 'Fp pointed by him consisting of the Queen's Advocate, Dr, Travers Twin, Q.C., and Dr. Robertson, before whom the case is now under argument. Both parties are repreeenad by public bodies, the promoter by the Church Association, and the defendant by the Church Union. Mr. A. Stephens, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., M.P., De Swabey, and Mr. Droop, instructed by Mr. Moore, appesr foe Mr. Martin ; and Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., Mt Prideaux. Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Charles, ia strutted by Mr. Brooks, for the Rev. A. H. Macikonorlia The charges against Mr. Mackonochie as amended are foe, namely, 1. The elevation of the Host ; 2. The use of Witte candles on the altar at the time of the administration of the Holy Communion ; 3. The nut of the incense; Mixing water with the wine used at the communion. The question of the eucharistic vestments is not !shied. The commission having been read, __ _ Mr. James, before the promoter's case was opened, pro tested against the constitution of the court, which was not such in his opinion as to give it authority to hear the cause. It was the intention of those whom he repro sound as loon on the Court of Common Law °NAV, to raise that question by way of prohibition, and a L the question whether the accusations alleged in the Wier of request were such as to constitute any ecclesiastical Offence whatever. Twice—Would it not now be too late to raise the second question! Mr. James—lt is never too late to raise the question of prohibition. We objected to the articles before the late judge on the ground that no ecclesiastical offence was alleged. The learned counsel proceeded to contend that the couimiasioners had no authority to hear the cease the Church Discipline Aot giving the power to the judge only without authority to delegate it. kr. Prideatm followed on the same side. Mr. A. Stephens complained that the protest had en been notified earlier in the proceedings, but at the tams time concurred to a great extent in the objection to Ms oonstitution of the court. If the two judge. differed, who waa to decide? Dr. Itobertsost—Astbejanior 'should withdrawmy judo. meat. Mr. Stephens added that whatever might be the be eision of the oomtnissioners either party would in his opinion be at liberty to appeal to the Dean of Arches. The proceedings in the Court of Arches, it must be remem bered, were only the means of obtaining the ultimate deci.ion of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Calmed, and he was anxious, therefore, that time should not as wasted and expense incurred in a lengthened argument apex • mere technical point. On the 7th of August, when applies, Lion was made to the Court of Arches to know when and before whom the cause should be argued, the official prin. cipal proposed that he should preside with the Vicar. General of the province of Canterbury, and the chairman of the diocese of Rochester assessors. The promotes objected to that arrangement on the ground that Sir Robert Phillimore had acted for the defendant and had signed and settled the articles; sad when the Dean proposed that the Vicar-General of the province should preside, and the promoter concurred in the proposal, no objection was raised on the part of the defendants. Subsequently Dr. Tristram applied to Sir R. Phillimore to pre:Mle, on the ground that he had no power to delegate his authority as judge of the court, but the objection was overruled. He war anxious to avoid discussions which might extend over two years upon a technical point, and on that view expressed his willingness that the Dean of Arches should hear the cause with or without assessors. Mr. Coleridge having offered some obsenrations to the same effect, Dr. Robertson expressed surprise that an injunction had not been applied for in the Court of Chancery to ristraiii the action of the court. Mr. James said there was great difficulty in obtaining such an order from a Vice-Chancellor during the vacation. Dr. Twirls said the court was placed in a positron of some difficulty, because the prayers delivered in by the proctors gave no idea that any objection was to be raised on either side to the jurisdiction of the court. Certainly he could not have expected that the party promoting the office of the judge would concur in the objection raised by the de fendant, seeing that the letters of request were addressed to the " official principal of the Arches Court, his surro- gates, or any other con.petent judge." He presumed that the ground on which the counsel for the prosecution had taken their present course was that they thought it would be for the greater convenience of all parties. The objection was not taken by way of protest, as suggested by the Dean of Arches, because although the counsel for the de. fendant had used the term pretest, they had really sub. mitred the point on a formal objection. Mr. respectfully request that the protest may be entered. Dr. Twiu said the proper course of proceeding would have been for notice of protest to be given, with the grounds upon which it was made. and in that case there would have been an opportunity of answering the objection, and the court would either have ad mitted or overruled them. No doubt this was a somewhat extraordinary proceeding, and the court was not an ordinary court. They assumed, therefore, that the counsel for the defendant appeared under pro test, and raised this question, not for the pur pose of an appeal, but with a view to en applies, tion for a prohibition. The learned judge who is sued the commission appeared to have entertained no doubt of his power to do so, and he (Dr. TOM) was not prepared to say that he was by any means convinced by any suggestions of the learned counsel that Sir Robert Phillimore had not the power, or that the com missioners had not the power to hear and decide the cause as they were directed. In his opinion the proper conceit for the court to pursue under the circumstances was to overrule the protest. That MIA the course which the Court of Arches had in former times thought it its duty under similar circumstance. to follow, and it was a course convenient to the parties, bemuse there was some doubt whether a court of common law would issue a prohibition until some step had been taken in the matter. Dr. Robertson expressed his entir • concurrence in the judgment of Dr. Twiu and also his surer se that the promoter had concurred in the objection to the constitu tion of the court. Mr. James and Mr. Stephens we re both of o,uni ni that the course suggested was a very convenient one. The hearing was then adjnurne 1 till this day fortnight to allow time for an applicatoi to be made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a prohibition. A Co-orartarrva SOCIETY. —A numerously-at tended meeting of the inhabitants of Holloway and High gate was held last night in Hampden Hall, Hampden-road, in furtherance of the 00-optrative movement started by A. G. E. Heine. The meeting was composed almost entirely of working men and their wives. Mr. W. T. M'C. Torrens, M.P., presided, and expressed his approval of the co-operative movement.

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN FRANCE The Northern Railway Company of France communicates the subjoined aecount of an accident which occurred early on Sunday on that line :—" This morn ing at seven, the express train from Calais came into collision, at the Oonesse station, with a locomotive which was being shifted across the rail,. Twelve passengers have been injured or contuse& They were brought on to Paris by special train, and, after having their iojenes attended to ten of their num ber were able to proceed to their homes. Two only were taken to an hospital. The driver of the express train was mortally hart, and the stoker sustained grievous inju juries. Two conductors and a railway servant employed at the station received contusions." From other sources we learn that the train consisted in all of 11 carriages, nearly all completely filled, a peat many passengers tra velling by this train to take the last theme of seeing the Paris Exhibition. The two engines passed completely into each other. The guards' van was lifted into the air, the next carriage, which had many passengers in it, com pletely under-ran the van and locked itself bodily in the tender of the engine. Out of this carriage several injured persons were drawn with extreme difficult'. The next carriage had contrived to bet again upon the line of rails, or partly so, ut its occupants suffered severely, some of them having undergone most terrible wounds about the face. The next carriage was deeply embedded in the ballast, and had been much struck with fragments of the engines and tenders. Several passengers in it were severely contused, some badly wounded. Several ladies were badly burnt, one very badly. Many of the passengers quite in the rear of the train were among those greatly injured, some from the main collision, and others from the many secondary collisions between the several carriages that were produced by their passage over the broken-up way. WRECK OP A LIGHT VESSEL. CAISTOR, NORFOLK, MONDAY. About 6 o'clock yesterday evening (states the Rev. G. W. Steward) rockets and guns were fired from the Newarp light-vessel, which is moored about six miles from this place, In Naaborough Gat. The •• Birmingham No. 2" lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was thereupon immediately launched from Caistor beach, and on arriving at the spot ascertained that a large trading steamer of from 700 to 1,000 tons burthen bad run foul of the light-ship, and had cut bar down almost to the water's edge. The steamer, which sus tained some damage herself, remained .ilongaide until the lifeboat arrived, and then went on to Yarmouth. Four of the lifeboat men were put on board the disabled light vessel to assist the crew at the ramps, and the lifeboat returned to Caistor with a letter for the Trinity Master at Yarmouth. A steam tug was also sent out to the vessel from Yarmouth upon intelligence given by the steamer. It was very dark at the time, and the wind was blowing from W. to N.W., with much swell in the offing. WWATEBR REPORT.-(TEILS DAY.) TIMMY. OCTUISiII V. 8 11.11. kEYARKS.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IMPART:S.—The Eten (bird publishes the following details of the residence and habits of the Emperor of Austria in the Elysee:—" The apartments occupied by his majesty are those of Napo leon 1., and the same that were recently inhabited by the Czar and by the Sultan. The Emperor rises at six, breakfasts, takes a cup of csife-au-lait, and then walks for a short time in the gardi-n of the palace. The apartment of the Prince Imperial is occupied by the Archduke Louis Victor, and near him is the chamber of Baron de Brost. The bedroom, sitting room, and study of the young I'rince are very elegantly but simply furnished. The Archduke Charles L o ui s is installed in the Empress's apartments, which are the most specious and handsome in the building. The suite of the Emperor and of the two Arch dukes occupy the second floor and the depend. encies around the Court of Honour. The Em peror, who is exceedingly simple in his repasts, eats but little and rapidly, and remains but a short time at table. Nothing can be more curious than the present aspect and animation of the Elyse*. At every moment messengers are arriving or departing, and carriages coming in or going out. At the doors sad on the steps may be seen brilliant liveries; in the courtyard and at the windows dazzling uniforms ; here the Hungarian aigrette and mantle, there the Austrian white jacket and green feather.
