IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TetrasnaT, Anal. 2. IN the Horse of Lonns, yesterday, the Mutiny Bill was read a second time, after a short discus- ; sion on the omission of the clause authorising the I infliction of corporal punishment, in the course of which the puke of CAMBRIDOZ pointed out that no substitntory punishment had been pro. vided. The Marine Mutiny Bill was also read a second time. On the motion of Earl Rressu a select com mittee was appointed to which all petitions ex cept those on private bills should be referred, withinstructions to report whether any of those petitions ought to be printed for the use of the house. The Earl of mALIMBURY moved a series of re solutions relating to the conduct of business in the house. The first provided that notice of an intention to ask a question should be given in the minutes, except in cases which would admit of no de A la l en gthened discussion ensued, and ultimately an amendment, proposed by the Lord Chancellor— " That it is desirable, where it is intended to raise a discussion on asking a question, that notice should be given in the minutes and orders of the day"— was adopted. The other resolutions, which provided for the attendance of peers on select committees, and for the form in which certain minutes should be en tered in the journals of the house, were also agreed to. Several bills were forwarded a Maze and the house adjourned at 20 minutes past 7 O'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY, Aram 2. IN the HOUSE of Coaiwoxs, Sir S. Noftrecor replying to a question from Mr. Fawcett, stated that in about three weeks the budget will be brought forward, and he hoped that by that time tke Chancellor of the Exchequer would be able to give a tolerable estimate of the cost of the Abys sinian expedition. He added that Sir Robert Napier expected to be at Theodore's camp by the end of March ; and he trusted that when the house met again after the holidays he should be able to announce that the expedition was on its return. Lord Sraza.eir stated, in reply to Mr. Yorke, that Await not his intention to withdraw the amend ment of which he had given notice on Mr. Glad stone's resolutions, nor would any change or modification be made in the course of proceeding that had been announced. Mr. Wifsm.Ar asked Mr. Gladstone whether the carrying of his resolutions involved the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant. Mr. GLADSTONE replied that his plan involved the entire relief of the consolidated fund from all charges for religious purposes. The adjourned debate on the Irish church was resumed by Mr. Roeauee, who said he should vote for the resolutions. He believed that a church establish ment was a bad instrument for the teaching of religion. He denied that the established church was a badge of conquest in Ireland. The penal laws having been repealed, there remained no grievance in Ireland except the established church. he quarrel between Ireland and England was not a quarrel of religion ; it was a quarrel of race, a (;uarrel of conquest. We had no quarrel with Scotland because we did not conquer Scotland. What the Irish wanted was separation. He denied that the Irish church was a tax upon Roman catholics. The tithe belonged to the state. There was one class in Ireland who were bound up with us, the Irish protestants, who thought their church did them good. He thought they were mistaken, and he told the catholics he thought the same thing of their church too. He warned Mr. Gladstone not to repeat the conduct of Earl Russell, who obtained power by carrying the appropriation clause, and then took no further steps but to be reedy with his bill to carry the re solutions into effect. He was an imperial English man, and his voice should ever be raised against the disconnection of the two committees. Mr. HENLEY denounced the resolutions as calculated to carry out the designs of the Fenians. Every word that was said in favour of these reso lutions went against the disestablishment of all state churches. If he were to vote for these reso lutions he should feel that he was a traitor to his sovereign, his country, and his God. General PEEL regretted that Mr. Gladstone, in order to induce the rabble" to follow him into the lobby, had thought it necessary to ask the house to disestablish the protestant church in Ire land, and to set aside the coronation oath. If this measure were carried the inevitable consequence would be the separation of the church and state in this country, and the repeal of the union with Ire land. It was difficult to know what the amendment meant. It might mean anything. The way he read it was, that the cabinet was hardly converted yet, and that the party behind them was not yet sufficiently educated. He, however, entirely agreed with the speech of the Home Secretikry, and as long as the right hon. gentleman sat on the Treasury bench should feel perfectly secure. It was possible that the carrying of these resolutions might bring the liberals into power, but he appealed to the con servatives not to be afraid of that. —..—.— Mr. Lows said if they took a hundred average Irishmen it would be found that 78 were Roman catholics, 11 belonged to the protestant endowed church, 10 to the presbyterian, and the remaining one belonged to the waifs and strays. These figures were more eloquent than any words he could use. He asked what Englishman would do if the Roman catholic church were established in this country. He denied altogether the validity of the argument that they were incapacitated by the Act of Union from dealing with this question. He referred to , the letter from Mr. Disraeli to Lord Dartmouth, in which be said the right hon. gentleman out- Heroded Herod in the way in which he upheld the establishment, and yet on the evening of the same day as that on which that letter was published Lord Stanley gave notice of his amendment, which virtually gave up the principle of the establishment. And as if this were not enough, the government put up the' noble lord to make a speech in which he led the house to believe that the government would be ready on a future occasion to make an alteration in the status of the church, and the following even ing they put up the Home Secretary to contradict everything the noble lord had said. It was a ten tative process, and when the government saw that a thing did not take it was withdrawn. Now, the House of Commons had endured a good deal of this kind of thing. They had all been lowered by it ; the government had been lowered, and the estimation of public men in the country had been irretrievably lowered by it. He rose to-night to denounce it. He reminded hon. members who at tempted to link together the Irish and the English church of • tyrant who bound a dead body to a living one. The corruption of the dead body killed the living body--and so would the Irish church kill the English church. The Irish church, he said, was like a tree transplated into an uncongenial climate. It yielded no blossom, bore no fruit— " Out it down, why cumbereth it the ground." Mr. HOBBPALL called on the government to make a stand for the Irish church, and to go to the country upon it. Mr. Mil/0Y contended that the resolutions were unconstitutional, unjust, and calculated to do mis chief to the united church in Ireland. Sir J. GRAY pointed out some glaring anomalies in the Irish church. Viscount Hi/arrow denied that the protestants were so few in number as had been stated, and put the episoopaliano alone at a million. It was always acknowledged that there were anoma lies ►n the Irish church which needed correct ing ; but a commission bad been appointed for that purpose. He stoutly maintained the necessity of continuing the protestant establishment in Ireland. Mr. B. Oosoairi denied that the liberal party bad ever been indifferent to this question, but their leaders had left the liberal party in the lurch In the matter. There were two questions—dis establishment and diaendowment, and they were totally apart. The question of diaandowment Its put aside as of secondary importance. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1868. The worst feature of the Irish church was the un equal distribution of the funds. For 093,000 epis copalians there were two archbishops and twelve bishops. At the same rate, 240 bishops would be required for England. The policy of the bishops was to multiply clergymen ; but the congregations were not increased by one man. He did not no why there should be any archbishop at all, and he would cut down the bishops to four, one for each province, with 2,0001. a year each • and he would cut down the clergy from 1,500 to 500, and reduce all the deans and archdeacons, who had nothing to do. The gain from this would amount to 300,M01. a year. Knowing the poverty of Ireland, he I should hesitate before he withdrew the grant to Maynooth and the Reginm Donum. He did not think that this or any measure would of itself pacify Ireland, but, however delay might snit the exigencies of government, it was disastrous to the well-being of a nation. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE said the pr . ob ject of these resolutions was to rally the li beral party and turn out the government ; the secondary object was to abolish the Irish church. The reso lutions had been constructed upon the principle not of settling the Irish church, but that they should contain so much as it was probable the go vernment would not be able to accept, and yet not contain anything that might raise difficulties in their own way. The position of the government was not changed. They would vote with the Foreign Secretary on the question of time, and if they were beaten cn that they should oppose the I resolutions on principle. They did not deny the power of this parliament to deal with the ques tion but said that it was elected when the question was not of practical importance, and therefore it would not be fair to the constituents to come to a decision without consulting them. They were at the beginning of a long fight, andgovernmant would not give in till they had fairly fought it out. He looked upon the measure proposed as a counter-irritant, by which it was proposed to tranquillise the catholic' by irritating the protestants. Then, be asked, in what position the church of Ireland waste be when it was disestablished with regard to doctrine and discipline and whether the crown was to have the appointment of the bishops, or the congregations. On the motion of Mr. COLERIDGE the debate was then adjourned. Mr. GLADSTONE suggested that the motion for adjournment over the holidays should not be brought on till after the division. Mr. Dismal acceded, and said there wan no doubt the debate would close to-morrow (this) evening. The Metropolis Gas Bill was read a second time, and referred to the select committee on metropo litan gas bills. The house adjourned at a quarter past 12. SPi INTELLIMICIL =Trim IN LONDON.—TarasnAY.

This was an action brought by Cepesin lidenborougb, of the hinvisa republic navy, against the defendant, the proprietor of the Anti-Slavery Reporter ' for an alleged libel contained in that periodical of the let of February last. Mr. Oiffard, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. M'lntyre and the Hon. Mr. Berke for the defendant. The allagtd libel consisted' of certain passages in an aril& which appeared as above, called " Ths Edenboreugh Belinda'," and which stated that parties " got this man Edenbarough to swear what in Jainaken is regarded at a fie lien to make the world belle?* that Gordon is a traitor ; '• it referred to certain " evidence " given by plaintiff, and "published in a former number of that ournal," which contained discrepancies, and described Mr. Gordon at one time as " • smart mulatto," and again after a lapse of time as " a seedy-looking dissenting minister ;" also re ferring to plaintiff, said that he was not very faithful to Garibaldi when under kis command, and other expressions 1 of • similar nature. ospTain EdMarpnongh wan placed in the witnese-box, and in answer to quertions denied having made use of either of these expressions in evidence in connection with trials respecting Governor Byre. Me. W. Pears, of the Army of Independence of Southern Italy, was also celled. He believed the articles in our tion referred to plaintiff. Witness was in the service of Garibaldi from the spring of 1859 to that of 1861, both before and after plaintiff was in that service, Plainti ff was under his command. Plainti ff wu a faithful soldier, and always behaved lihe an =Boer. The counsel for the defence did not arees.exarnine the witnesses in justification of the libel complained of, but addroised the jury in mitigation of damages. The de fendant was only the nominal proprietor of the journal, and on receiving notice of the action expressed his disap probation of the article, which had not before come under his notice, and which he slated had caused him to with draw his name from all connection with the journal. He stated that he believed the writer to be Mr. Chamerovzow. the editor of the d nti-Starcry Reporkr, and offered to pay the expenses of advertising his letter of apology in the public prints, and to pay all legal expenses incurred up to that time, if proceedings were stayed. Plaintiff, through his attorney, refused to stay proceedings unites a proof was afforded of the identity of the 'writer. Verdict for plaintiff-1501. damages. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The adjourned general meeting of shareholders was held yesterday afternoon at the Paddington-statics; Sir Dan= °sloes, Dart, M.P., in the chair. The eitanimax (who was received with cheers) congra tulated the shareholders upon the beard being enabled, bt their analetenee, to propose that a dividend in cub should be deeds/yd. They bad received in round numbers, in return for the issue of their 5 per cent. debentures, some thing like 1,000,0001., and he hoped there was still more to ; eau in. He would lugs upon the proprietors the seer s. sity aad wisdom of following out in the future that course which had been successful hitherto, namely, not to lase sight of the fact that the debenture debt was a very large , one, and to use all their endeavours to reduce it is an amount over which they might have control at any time, and to convert their floating debt into a moment stoeE The resolution he had to propose with regard to the dividend was, "That the dividend for the half-, year ending the 31st of January last on the guaranteed and preference stooks of the eempany, at the rates fixed in respect of ruck stocks, and on the consolidated stocks at the following rates, he now deelared, such divi donde to be paid on and after the 14th inst. to the pro- 1 prietors reg istered at the closing of the transfer books on the 20th of February last :—Great Western (original) con- 1 aolidated stook at the rate of 11. 10e. per cent per an num ; West Midland (Newport), 15e. : West Midland (Ox ford), 1 6d.; South Weise, M se. ; and Vale of Heath. 6/." He would afterwards propose another resolution authorising the direstors to pay dividends in accuse from the two previous balf-years. It would be necessary for the persons holding the unpaid paper to send it to the offices of the company before the 14th inst., so that the staff might be enabled to compare it with the books, and to prepare for the payment in eight or ten days after wards. Mr. WOOD the deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, and availed himself of the opportunity topublialy congratu late the chairman upon the success which bail attended his efforts in the interests of the company. (Applause.) The Ctialorwr explained that after the rejection of their first bill by the standing orders committee, they de posited Bill No. 2, which was now lit to be sent before a committee of the house. It carried out the wish ex pressed at the last meeting, that they should confirm the legality of the stock which had already been issued, and took power to issue stock in lien 'of dividend for the next year, if such • step waa found to be necessary, and re ceived the assent of three-fourths of the proprietors, Mr. Craca LEGG asked if in the meantime the payment of • dividend on the 6 per cent. stock was legal. The CHAIRMAN replied be assumed it wee so. Re urged the desirability of some of the shareholders taking their dividend in 5 per cent. debenture stock. The maelution providing for the payment of arrears of dividend was then sgreed to. In answer to • question, The CHAIRMAN said he hoped there would be no occa sion for a recurrence to the proow to which they bad re sorted this half-year ; but if the contrary aheuld be the / case, be thought that with a capital of 59,005,000/. they ought not to allow themselves to be damages for the sake of a few 'Milieu. A resolution in favour of the issue to the Vale of Neeth Railway Company of 100/. rent charge stock of the Great Western Company in lieu of 100/. ordinary stock, upon which the former is now practically guaranteed 5 per cent. by the latter, was then submitted. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of this step was to amalgamate the three sectional stocks into one homogeneous stock, and to come to an arrangement which would be more beneficial to both companies than that which had hitherto existed. The resolution was adopted, after some discussion, SS was also one proposing to deal in the same manner with the Vale of Neath preference stock. The meeting was then made special " for the purpose of considering an agreement proposed to be entered into with the Bristol and South Wales Union Railway Company, for an amalgamation of the undertaking of that company will the Great Western Railway Company, and, if approved of, authorising the directors to enter into such agree ment, and to make all such arrangements as may be nem sag. for giving effect to the same." The CHAIRMAN stated that the original sgreewient be tween the two companies was considered unsatisfactory by the Bristol and South Wales Union Company, who had never confirmed it, and during the put two years negotia tions had been going on with • view of coming to terms acceptable to them. It was now proposed to allow them to share the dividends of the Great Western Company after three yews. The amount of Vale of Neath stock k be converted was 108,000/. After some discussion • resolution approving of the agreement was agreed to. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings, THE IRISH CHURCH AGITATION. LEEDS.—A rest meeting was held in the Leeds Town-hall last night, ea/led by the liberals, to support Mr. Gladstone's resolutions. The church party mustered tin smelly strong, and much interrupted Mr. T. B. Baines end Mr. Joseph }Lupton, who moved the following resolution : That this meeting is of opinion that the protestan;* estab lishment in Ireland, being e the church of a small minority of the population, is a evens injustice to the people of that country ;is culated to excite the strongest feelings of resentment and disaffection, and is a perma nent and formidable danger to the ma intenance of the Union ; it therefore rejoices to see the effort made by Mr. Gladstone to obtain justice for Ireland, and to cement the union of the kingdoms, by moving resolu tions with a view to the disestab lishment of the Irish " church." Mr. S. Hey, surgeon, moved an amendment that Mr. Gladstone's resolutions were unjust, unconsti tutional, and inopportune. The Rev. J. Hood seconded it. There were other speakers on both aides, but the original motion was carried by a tremendous majority, in suppoit of Mr. Gladstone's policy. BRADFORD. —A meeting was held last night in St. George's-hall, Bradford, at which Mr. E. Miall and others spoke on the Irish church question. The following resolutions were enthusLudically passed :—" 1. That this I meeting, believing that the withdrawal of all state en- I dewments of all religions bodies in Ireland will be the first step towards securing in that country peace, prospe rity, and union, rejoices at the determination of the leader of the liberal party in parliament to give an oppor tunity for the expression of that opinion,. by calling upon the House of Commons to affirm that ` it Is necessary that the established church of Ireland should owns to exist as an establishment, due regard being had to all personal interests, and to all individual rights of property,' and to adopt those immediate measures which are required for that purpose. And that a petition to the Hoses of Com mons, m accordance with this resolution, be signed by the chairman on behalf of this meeting, and sent to %V. E. Forster, Esq., for presentation ; and that M. W. Thomp• son, Esq., "be requested to support its prayer." 2. " T hat this meeting begs to thanklMr. Miall for his vary able address this evening, and for his long and consistent *deo akcy of the principles of religious liberty and equality, and congratulates him that at length one of the great questions on which he has been the instructor of the people has so ripened in public opinion, that our great statesmen now hail it es the matter most pressing for un mediate action." Norr►rortax.—We understand that a petition has been gent from Nottingham, signed by more than 2,000 persons, against the Irish church. It will be pre sented by Mr. Bernal Osborne. There was a large working men's meeting in this town on Tuesday night against the Irish church. AB/IRDEEN.—A public meeting has been held in this city in favour of the dieendowment of the Irish church. Mr. R. Urquhart occupied the chair. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Bruce, Mr. Rosa, Rev. G. M'Arthnr, Councillor Gordon, and others, and it was resolved to petition 'pima the continuance of the Irish establishment. LEICESTER.—Mr. 1111111011 J 0111319 addressed 2,000 persons hat night in the Temppeeranee•hall on the Irish church question. A petition in favour of Mr. Gladstone'. resolutions was unanimously adopted. PRESENTATION TO THE HARTLEY INSTITUTE, SOUTHAMPTON.—Some very valuable anatomical and phy siologicel models, moulded in wax, have been presented to the Hartley Institute at Southampton. The oallection consists of upwards of fifty models of various parts of the body in men and the lower anima/a, and, irrespective of its pecuniary value, which is considerable, possesses high merits from the extreme care and accuracy with which the models have been , and which on this account are admirably adapt or use, both in teaching the sciences of anatomy and physiology to studeate, and also conveying to the general public an idea of the struc tural arrangement el theenunal body. The donor is Mr. W. F. Cooke, who also made the models, to illustrate the lectures of hia father, who was professor of anatomy at the Durham 'University. Mr. Fothemill Cooke was originally destined for the medical profession ; but while studying at Heidelberg he wee so struck with the experi ments of Oersted as to the effect of the galvanic current on the magnetic needle, and its application to telegraphic purposes online of reflood, that he gave up everything to aim out the idea, which bad taken thestrougest h upon Um ; and he succeeded. After a while he became associated with Sir Charles Wheatstone. It is to Mr. Cooke, in reality, that we owe the electric telegraph as a working scheme. Mr. Cooke shows, in the execution of the models we now notice, that he was • man of early scientific tendencies , H and is an honour to our protonion that he is so oenneeted with one of the meet important discoveries of the cgs.—Lesca.

Coarane;sisiWlthlAA /raid, connected with a amplest* gang of thieves, were placed at the bar before Hr. Partridge, charged with garotting an old gentleman named John Gottlieb Ulrich, and robbing him of a gold watch and pocket-book containing valuable doenments, near the Raliway Termini, London-bridge. The prosecutor, who seamed to be suffering severely from the injuries he had received, said he was a chrono meter and watch maker, at 56, Sydney-street, Stepney. About • quarter to one that morning he was proceeding along Wellingtonertrest, Borough, towards home, and just as he had got to the steps lea ding to St. Saviour's Church some one suddenly seized him by the throat from behind and pulled him backwards. Cochrane was the man who did that, as be saw his face by the gas light. He we then thrown down with great violence, and nearly strangled. The prisoner Smith fell on him, opened his coat, and took the watch out of his left-hand waistcoat pocket, and his pocket-book containing vahiable papers and memo randa connected with hie claim on the Admiralty. While be was struggling on the ground for his life • signal was made by some one near them, when the prisoners released him, and ran away in the direction of St. George's Church. He was so seriously injured that be could not all out. In fact, he was moslysed, and unable to get up and follow them.

He was sure the prisoners were e the men who assaulted him and robbed him, and he saw their fame distinctly under the gaslight. William Eircher, 236 11, said he took Cochrane into custody, and banded the other prisoner over to 227 H when they were both taken to the station-house and identified. He knew Cochrane well as a desperate thief. He was tried at the Old Bailey sessions, in 1866, for highway robbery, and sentenord to twelve months' bard labour, and forty lashes with the cat. He &leo believed the other prisoner bad been convicted. Mr. Partridge committed both prisoners to Newg•te for triaL James Brooke, • rough looking young man, who was described as a labourer, was pissed in the dock before Mr. Daymen charged with causing the death of Augustus Thomas John Bullock, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and the eon of Admiral Bullock, residing at No. 11, Bushy cottages, Teddington. Mr. Edwards appeared for the prisoner. Sergeant Willoughby, who watched the case on behalf of the police authorities, informed the magistrate that the coroner opened an inquest on Tuesday last, sad adjourned it for a week. William Hunt said—l live at 7, Star-place, North-end. On Saturday evening, between 10 and 11 o'clock, I was ' inside Mr. Clhipperton's beershop having some beer. I saw the prisoner wally in followed by the gentleman, and they had a word. Brooks said, "My good friend, go away ; what 'do you want following me ?" I did not hear what the de ceased mid. It was about one word. The prisoner bit the man directly the word was spoken on the forehead with his fist, and he went down. The I prisoner lifted him up, and stood him against the door. He reeled round and fell through the door, down two steps, on to the brick pavement in front of the house. The prisoner then caught hold of his legs and pulled him down another step into the road. The prisoner took hold of his horse, his wife being in the cart, and drew it round towards the &messed. My wife and two other women screamed out, "He will run over him." I caught hold of the deceased's legs and dragged him on to the path. I cannot say whether he hied to run over him. I left the deceased on the path. I did not hear him speak. He was not sober. The prisoner did not appear to be very drunk. He did not say anything when he stood him up against the door. I did not hear him say anything when the deceased fell out of the door. I amid not iv whether he was bleeding or not. I was not at the inquest.

This meeting was opened yesterday at Bedford, and was favoured by the moat lovely weather. Originally in- tended to be a moveable meeting, a departure was this year made in the order of things, as it has been held on the Bedford course now two years in succession. It is generally expected that in 1800 the venue will be changed to Yorkshire. Compared with previous years, there was a great falling off in the entries, more especially for the chief race of the meeting—tbe Grand National Hunt I Steeplechase for hunters, the breed of which the race was onginally intended to improve. There was • fair at tendance to-day, but it was a mere handful compared with last year, when the Prince of Wales honoured the sport ereisen by his tie. The Duke of Manchester had a distin party from Kimbolton Castle, comprising the Marquis of liartingten, the Marchioness of Ailesbury 5 , Lor and Lady Proby, Lady George Paget, Lord and Lady Grey de Wilton, Mr. Chaplin and Colonel Steele. There were on the Stewards' Stand, in addition to those mentioned : Lord Poulett, the Duke of Hamilton, the Marquis of Hastin Sir Frederick Johnston., Lord Courtenay, gs, Colonel Fredericks, Colonel Knox, Captain Beaumont, Captain Michell, Captain Barclay, Captain Johnstone, Mr. B. J. Angell, Mr. Lucy, &c. The Grand Nationa l Hunt race, with which the proceedings commenced, pro duced only seven runners. Father O'Leary, who fell in the race last year when running prominently, was made the favourite, but he failed to stay the course, and the race was won by Tatbwell, a very fine gelding of Mr. Welfitt'a, by Canute—lmagination by Laneroost, who was patiently ridden by Mr. Brockton. The favourite finiahed second, but Tathwe 11 had the race all his own way in the last mile. A protest was lodged against Strasburg's starting, on the pound of his having been in a training stable, but as be did not win, of course nothing came of it. The Selling Handitpap was an easy victory for Waterperry, the favourite, Colons*, having fallen at the Scat jump. The Rimbolton Castle Stakes failed to produce a race, and old Meanwood want to the poet for the added money, which amonntol i to 100/. Only three con tested the National Heavy-weight Steeplechase, for which Nebaworth, with slight odds laid on him, name in alone, the others having come to grief.
