POPISH CEREMONIES IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. *mam ma artalWlMTWri remoniais presented petitions e°lll. and. Jae . said '3 250 prititio w ns had bee:presented against these ritualistic practises, and he should have thought these petitions wculd have called up some of the right rev. Una% to have expressed sympathy with the petitioners. These practice. had been going on for twenty years, and were undoubtedly illegal, although the ill eg ality did not seem to have been taken notice of till within the last few days. They were intended for nothing more nor less than to restore the Popish mess. Lord RAVENSWORTH expressed his regret that when a subject of this nature, which bad caused so much scandal to the church, was brought forward the right reverend bench was so thinly and unsatisfactorily attended. The noble marquis had referred to what he called gross abuses in the church, in no less than ten different dioceses ; and, though he (Lord Ravensworth) did not now inquire into the merits or demerits, or sinfulness of such practices, he thought the right reverend prelates, connected with those dioceses, might have been in their places on that Mil ice. Some thirty years ago, when he had the honour of being a member of the House of Commons, a motion was brought forward and annually debated by the hon. mem ber for Gateshead, declaring that it was no longer expedient that right rev. prelates should hold their seat in the House of Lords. Being by no means of that opinion, it frequently became his duty to undertake their defence. He argued that inasmuch as her Majesty was the bead of the church, and whereas the church was not directly re prented in the House of Commons, the representatives of Ile church should hold their honoured places in the Meese at Lords. They were now more than threatened with a mew reform in parliament, and if a newly reformed parlia ment should give a member to Gateshead who would'an- Dually submit a motion in favour of unseating the bench of bishops, he confessed that after the appearance of that beach on the present occasion he should feel some diffi culty in referring to the same arguments he bad used on former °erosions. The Bishop of CASHEL said the noble marquis could bring no charge against him, because in his diocese there was not a single church where the practices were carried on to which the noble marquis alluded. It was not in pro testant churches but in Roman catholic chapels where they had what were called the corporeal presence, altars, and oblations. He was 11104 happy that there were no such exhibitions in protestant churches, and he hoped that in this country where they had bee n declared on good autho- Aq to be illegal, that the good sense and good feeling of pious but mistaken men would induce them to give up each practices. The Earl of LONGFORD thought the bishops had exercised a wise discretion in staying away on the present occasion, and he heartily wished he had been with + ham. They had been compelled to listen to a long statement in troductory to the motion, which he believed would prove of no advantage either to the church or to their lordships. (Hear, hear.) The Bishop of CARLISLE said he would offer no opi- Mon, rot feeling called upon to do so, as to the absence of his right reverend brethren on that oocrioe. It was impossible, however, for him to deny that the question was ono of the very greatest importance, or that, unfor tunately, there were clergymen who sought to import the church of Rome into the church of England. The great difficulty the bishops had to contend with was, that these gentlemen refused to listen to the friendly admonition of their diocesan. The Earl of CLANCARTY considered that a great responsibility rested upon the episcopal bench when they admitted men to the ministry who were not qualified by their education and habits. He lamented to y that many came from Oxford who entered the church h a Puseyite reputation and left it confirmed Ro. maniste. The Earl of BEAUCHAMP thought the bishops had shown a very proper sense of what was due on this occasion by not being present. The right reverend prelates to whom the noble marquis bed referred might at some future time be called upon to express their opinions with regard to the practices of which he complained, and it would have placed them in a difficult position if they were to answer questions put to them in that house, and thereby find themselves oommittod to a particular view by • hastily formed opinion, which, upon mature deliberation, and after receiving the highest legal opinions, they could not carry out. Ho might remind their lordships of a speech delivered last year by oils of the right reverend prelates, in which his lordship expressed his want of sympathy with those who followed such practices, and yet said they were the most self-denying and most given to charity in his diocese. It was assumed that those gentlemen were doing what wee illegal, but one story was good until another was told, and it was one of the first principles of English law that no man was guilty until he was proved to be so. It would be a bad precedent for any of the bishops to offer an opinion on a matter which had not been fully argued. (Hear.) The Earl of lIARROWBY said he believed the right reverend bench had taken the opinion of eminent lawyers, for the purpose of testing the law. It was letter, therefore, that they should he absent on the present occasion. Ho should rejoice if the law were so altered that no alteration could be introduced into the service of any church without the fullest notice alike to the ordinary and to the congregation. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CARNA RVON said it was perfectly true that, in a certain sense, no one could object to the questions in dispute being put in issue before a legal tribunal. The church of England was a church established by law, and to the lrw, therefore, there must always be an appeal. At the same time it was well to remember that those who ap pealed io the Lew must themselves be prep.:red to have the law put in force against themselves. (Cheers.) There were in this matter two parties, two distinct stiles, neither of which could perhaps justify itself by the strict letter of the rubric. If, on the one side, censers, lights, and vest ments were really Hiegel, it was not less illegal to close churches from Sunday to Sunday in the face of the Rubric which prescribed daily service ; to introduce before or after sermons hymns or prayers which had no sanction from the Prayer-book ; to omit the Offi.rtory and the prayer for the Church Militant ; to perform public baptism after the service instead of after the second lesson ; to administer the other holy sacraments to the people col lectively, instead of separately to each communicant ; or to mutilate the marriage service till it could hardly be Sden:ified. (Hear, hear.) If one party was wrong, so apparently was the other, and those who appealed to the law must expect to have it enforced against themselves. While he admitted that strict law was the standard which ought to be recognised, he could not shut his eyes to the fact that a wise, liberal, and statesmanlike com prehension was • great element of safety to the church. Lord WESTMEATH said he had omitted formally to ask from the Lord Chancellor an answer to the question of which he had given notice—namely, the legality of appro priating the offertories to be collected in some twenty churches at the approaching anniversary to the purposes of the English Church Union, the rulers of which appeared to him in the light of thieves. The LORD CHANCELLOR—What is your question? Lori WESTMEATH said it was whether the devotion of the offertory to the Defence Fund of what was called the English Church Union—that was, a fund for defending clergymen if cited before the courts of law on account of adopting practices considered by the ecclesiastical autho rities to be illegal—whether such an application of the offerings contributed according to the rubric before the communion service as " alms for the poor and other devo- tions of the people," and which the rubric at the close of the communion service prescribed to be for " pious and charitable uses," would not be a misappropriation of church funds and a fraud on the poor in the several parishes where the offertories were to he made. The LARD CHANCELLOR said it was most inconve nient to a person filling the situation which he had the honour to hold to have questions put to him on which ' be might have to pronounce a judicial opinion. It did not, however, require much acuteness or deep lore to say thus much. If the funds collected in the communion service were for pious and charitable uses at the discretion of the minister and churchwardens, the appropriation of those funds not to what were usually considered pious and chi"- :treble purposes. but to enable persons charged with cameos to defend themselves without reference to whether they were guilty or innocent , could hardly come within such a discretion. But he could not undertake to say even so much as that unless the question came before him judicially. Their lordships rase at • quarter before 8. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TVZSDAT, Jtrint 12. The house met at 4 o'clock. The early part of the sitting was occupied with a dis mission on the order for the consideration of the report on the Gee Light and Coke Company Rill, the object of which is the construction of extensive new gas works on She western bank of the River Lea, in the immediate neighbourhood of Victoria-park. The measure was ener ptscally opposed, chiefly upon sanitary grounds, by Mr. , Tile, who moved its rejeceson, Mr. Bamford Hope, Mr. ,Msrton,, Mr. Cowper ((Chet Commissioner of Woods and :Works); Mr. C. $. Butler, Mr. Alderman Lm & Mr. Henley, and Mr. Alderman Lawrence ; and supported by Su' J. Trellope, Mr. Paull, Sir H. Peel, Mr. J. T. Miller, and Mr. Locke Sing. A diviaMn followed, whisk resulted in the report being adopted by 169 to 138. THE REFORM BILL. Lord DUNEELLIN gave notice that in committee on the Reprecientation of the People Bill, on clause 5, which refers to the borough franchise, he should move an amend ment to the effect that the principle of the borough fran chise be a rating and not a rental qualification. CHIEF JUSTICE LEFROY. Mr. MAGUIRE gave notice that on Tuesday, the 26th inst., he should move for a select committee to inquire into certain allegations as to the incapacity of the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland for the satis factory discharge his duties'. PIRACY IN THE CHINA SFAS. Colonel SI'ILES gave notice that on Friday, the 29th, he should call attention to the parliamentary paper, No. 262, relating to the surrender to the Mandarin authorities by her Majesty's naval officers in the China seas of pirates, and ask the Secretary to the Admiralty b;11a what act of parliament, order in council, or other instruction, naval officers serving on the coast of China held direct communication with the Chinese authorities, and surren dered crews of junks alleged to be pirates without the intervention of the consular authority, the only legal com munication with the Chinese government. ALDERSHOT AND COLCHESTER. Mr. P. WYNDHAM asked whether it was intended to make further withdrawals of troops from country quarters and concentrate them in larger numbers than at present at the military stations at Aldershot and Colchester ; and whether any further enlargement of the barracks at Col chester, or of the buildings oonnectedwith their, was in con templation. The Marquis of HARTINOTON said it was not the in tention of the commander-in-chief to increase the number of troops at Aldershot beyond the number usually quar tered there; neither was there an intention of increas ing the number of troops q at Colchester or to erect further barracks there. THE RECENT FIRE IN DUBLIN. Lord NAAS inquired whether it was the intention of the government to institute a rigid inquiry into the causes of the late lamentable loss of life by fire in Dublin, and into the conduct of the fire brigade, and the condition of the escape ladders. Almost immediately after the fire broke out five persons appeared at the upper windows of the house, but the two fire escapes which were sent to the spot thoroughly and completely broke down, and it was then too late to take any steps to rescue these unfortunate persons. It was further stated that the supply of water was totally inadequate, that the fire engines were ex ceedingly badly managed, and that the steam fire engine, which arrived a considerable time after the outbreak of fire, fell all to pieces. Sir J. GRAY wanted to know whether the Chief Secre tary had received from the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Dublin a request that there should be a most searching official inquiry into this lamentable event. Mr. C. FORTE3CUE intimated that instructions bad been given to the law adviser of the Chief Secretary to attend the inquest about to be held upon those who perished in this lamentable catastrophe, and it must de pend very much upon what was disclosed at the inquest whether the government might think it right to institute an inquiry such as that which had been applied for by the waterworks committee of the Dublin corporation. Sir J. GRAY asked whether the government had re ceived a requisition from the Lord Mayor and Corporation and the Waterworks Committee of the Corporation request ing an investigation, not only of all the circumstances that occurred in connection with this calamity, but also with the origin, constitution, and efficiency of the fire brigade, and also whether it was not true that the corporation hail taken all the means in their power for the purpose of con stituting an effectual brigade. Mr. C. FORTESCUE stated that the government had received each an application, and it was couched in lan. guage which showed a desire to have all the facts in vestigated. THE COAL SUPPLY. Mr. H. VIVIAN rose to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be gra ciously pleased to issue a royal commission to investigate the probable quantity of cool contained in the coal fields of Great Britain. and to report on the quantity of such coal which may be reasonably expected to be available for use ; whether it is probable that coal exists at workable depths under the Permian, new red sandstone, and other superincumbent strata, and whether they would recommend that bore holes should be sunk in any and what localities ; to ascertain and report on the quantity of coal at present consumed in the various branches of manufacture, for steam navigation, and for domestic purposes, as well as the quantity ex ported, and how far and to what extent such consumption and export may be expected to increase ; how far the increase of population must necessarily accord with the increawd consumption of coal, and the relations which one is likely to bear to the other ; and whether there is reason to believe that coal is wasted either by bad work ing or by carelessness, or neglect of proper appliances for its economical consumption, and whether they would recommend legislation with a view to avoid such waste. At great length, and in • speech full of valuable and in teresting matter, the hon. gentleman discussed the ques tion of supply and consumption, and argued that there was evidence to show that the English coalfields were prac tically inexhaustible. He disputed, therefore, the asser tion of Mr. Jevons, that our native resources would be ex hausted in the course of a century from the present time. By going only one foot deeper than the prescribed 4,000 feet, beyond which it was alleged that it would not be safe to 4 0. a sufficient quantity of coal might be raised to maintain the present rate of supply for the next :100 years ; and ho held that there were neither physical nor scientific difficulties to prevent shafts being sunk to that additional depth. All calculation) by geometrical ratio, he observed, were delusive, and broke down when tested by plain facts. Moreover, I America contained 196,000 square miles of coal-fields, and Russia 11,000; and both these vast territories would, in pro- cess of time, and as labour became more available, be worked for the benefit of mankind. In Silesia, Spain, Austria, India, China, Japan, New Zealand, and in alm ost every other country, there were also extensive coal fields, from which our supply could be drawn, even supposing that our own resources were entirely exhausted. But he repeated that we had by no means exhausted, much less ascertained the extent, of those resources, because there was reason to believe that coal was to be found in almost every part I of the British islands, and that immense deposits lay under the metropolis itself. Mr. LIDDELL seconded the motion, and whilst depre cating the alarm which bad been awakened in the public mind by the recent writers and speakers on the subject of our coal supply, nevertheless urged the importance of I availing ourselves of every scientific appliance in order to I economise the consumption of fuel, both for manufacturing and domestic purposes. The course which the inquiry ought to take was the preparation of • complete and accurate geological coal map, which would show the area, number, depth, and inclination of the various coal bearings, and the extent to which they had been worked. Then the evidence of practical men might be brought to bear on the facts. The first step, therefore, was to set the geological surveyors to work. Mr. MT. TORRENS, thinking it preferable to refer the inquiry to • permanent scientific body, moved, by way of amendment, that a special report as to the extent, quality, and cost of working coal in the United Kingdom be directed to be made by the persons charged with the con duct of the geological survey, and that the same be laid before parliament with the least possible delay. Sir G. GREY said it was impossible to doubt the im portance of the question, and the government were quite willing to concur in the motion for • royal commission, omitting, however, the last clause which related to legis lation on the subject of waste. It was desirable that the inquiry should be an impartial and a searching one in which the country could place confidence ; and to this end it was necessary that the commission should be • mixed body, including scientific men like Sir Roderick Murchison, who had consented to serve, and gentlemen connected with the Geological Society. Sir R. PEET. hoped no time would be lost in oommencing the labours of the commission. The discussion was continued by Sir G. Bownta and Mr. BAZLIS, who expressed their gratitude to Mr. Vivian for the service he had done by his motion, and the facts and arguments he had adduced in its support. Mr. SAMUELSON considered that the inquiry would be better and more usefully carried on by • permanent scientific body, whether • department of the government or not. A few observations having also been made by Colonel SIKES and Mr. PeAsE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be had never given expression to any alarm that our supply of coal would soon be exhausted. What he had stated was that, so dependent as we were for superiority as • nation on our manufactures, it behoved us to provide, if possible, against increased cost in the matter of fuel The amendment was then withdrawn, and the original motion, altered in the sense indicated by Sir G. Grey, was agreed to. Mr. Muses moved for a select committee to con sider the importance of creating a harbour of refuge at Newhaven, on the Sussex coast ; but the motion being opposed by Mr. GIBBON, on behalf of the Board of Trade, was withdrawn. Leave was given to Sir C. O'Logblen to bring in a bill to regulate and improve the tenure of land in Ireland between landlord and tenant. Mr. MORRIS called attention to the state of the " law of removal" from Great Britain to Ireland of persons. receiving relief, and to the injustice of maintaining a un-' tent which is applicable in favour of Great Britain only, and moved that the subject was one which required the immediate consideration of the government. Mr. VILLIERS &omitted that many cases of hardship had occurred under the law as heretofore administered ; but he reminded the hon. member that an amended law had been in operation since March last by which no re moval could take place after one year's rondense in Eng land. ► ESD4T FAx . '!fSS, Leave was given to Mr. Leeman to introduce a bill to amend the law in respect of the sale and purchaae of shares in banking and other companies. The Prmoess Mary of Cambridge's Annuity Bill was passed through committee. The other cation were also guns through, and the house adjourned at ten minutes past 1 o'clock. ittluoic.

The illustrious visitors were the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Christian of Denmark, who, with a numerous suite, occupied the seats immediately in front of the orchestra. The usual influence of a Royal visit was perceptible in the comparative brevity of the concert, the lighter style of the music, and the larger pro portion of vocal pieces. There was but one symphony, an old but charming production of Haydn ; but the overture to Leonora, the noblest dramatic prelude ever written, has all the grandeur of a symphony. The overture to Zampa is very theatrical and very French; and musical purists may question the propriety of its admission into the pro gramme of a Philharmonic Concert : but, though not cast in a classical mould, it is full of fire and vigour, and worthy of its author, one of the greatest ornaments of the French dramatic schooL *parting intrptgenct. ODIHAM RACEK—TursDAT. Immediately preceding the fashionable Stockbridge gathering, this meeting was largely patronised, many of the patecian and chief supporters of the turf being present. It commenns the Hampshire week, and being situated en route to Stockbridge, most of the book-maker break their Journey, so that all the principal operators are to be seen in the enclosure, which gives it the appearance of a much more important gathering. This meeting has been so singularly unfortunate with weather, that it seems almost impossible for the day to peas without rain, and yesterday preyed no exception to the rule, ea a more miserable morning for the enjoyment of the spurt could not be imagined, heavy showers falling until the racing commenced, when it cleared up, and although the sky remained cloudy, the atternorn was comparatively fine for Wiliam. The attendance of pleasure seekers was exceedingly good considering the weather. Several drags and fashionable aarri were drawn up opposite the stand, together with a number of humbler vehicles. The racing, commenced at half-past one, and concluded shortly after live. Speculation, although spirited, was very limited, and there was no betting on future events.

Stuart) 11 NIRMY, UMW& In this matter an application was to-day made to the court to discharge Mrs. Newbery from piece, whither she had been sent for oontenspt of court in not having an order directing her to deliver her cbildrento Mr. their testamentary guardian. It will be remembered that the late father of the infants was a clergyman of the eats blhhed church of Ragland ; and by his will he appointed his widow and the Rev . Mr. Cadell the guardians of his two infant children. After Mr. Newbery's death Mrs. Newbery joined the sect of "Pl th Brethren," and an order was afterwards pronoun by the court, forbidding her to take the children to any meetings of the brethren, or to any other place of worship than one conducted according to the principles of the church of England. That order Mn. Newbery disregarded, and took the children to one of the lbrsthren's meetings. She was then ordered to deliver the children to Mr. Cadell by a certain day, or to stand committed for contempt of court. That order she also disobeyed, and therefore it was that she was sent to prison. It was however, now stated that the children had sines bee n delivered to Mr. Cadell, having been taken from their mother by the proper officer of the court. It was now therefore asked that Mrs. Newbery might be released from custody, and might not be made to pay the coots of the contempt. Mr. Malin, Q.C., and Mr. Graham Hastings appeared for Mrs. Newbery. The Vice-Chancellor said he could not depart from the usual course of proceedings adopted in cases of this nature. Mrs. Newbery had been guilty of the most wilful con tempt of court. She had rip to prison voluntarily, in consequence of her own misconduct; and she must pay the costs of the proceedings. Subject, however, to that she might be discharged from prison. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kinderaley.) IN RE THE EUROPEAN BANK. It will be remembered that when the petitions for the compulsory winding-up of this company were before the court on Friday last, Mr. Bally, on the part of the com pany, stated that an arrangement had been come to at a meeting of shareholders for a voluntary winding up under the supervision of the court. This course was assented to by several of the petitioners, but Mr. Looock Webb, for the Alhambra Company, who were creditors to the extent of 1,500 1 ., having asked for a compulsory order, the case was adjourned till to-day for the purpose of ascertaining the views of the majority of creditors. I: was now intimated that a large majority of the cre ditors were in favour of the proceeding sanctioned by the meeting, and accordingly The Vice-Chancellor made an order for the voluntary winding up of the company under the supervision of the court. A large number of counsel were engaged in the case, in cluding Mr. Glasse, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Daniel, Mr. Robin son, Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. Edward James, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Swanston, Mr. J. A. Roberts, Mr. J. N. Higgins, and Mr. Wickens. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JUNE 12. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shoe.) J,WG, JpgX, ,13,1;,,A866.

The evidence of the presen t= showed that she had been • governess, but being disengaged she answered an advertisement of the pn loner's, and entered his service as housekeeper. The prisoner was a widower, and represented to the prosecu trix that she would have the company of his daughter, 13 jean of age. It was her custom to play and sing to the prisoner when desired to do am and she was so engaged on Wednesday evening last when he drew down the blinds and closed the curtains. In consequence of this the prosecutrix discontinued singing and made to wards the door of the room. The prisoner, however, caught hold of her, and told her he loved her. He then threw her on the sofa, and raised her clothes, after which he forced her into a bedroom adjoining, and having locked the door, he commenced un dressing her. She resisted to her utmost, but he threatened to choke her if she was not quiet. A struggle which lasted some time took place, but the prisoner did not effect his purpose. On the following morning the pramoutrix qed up her clothes to leave the house, but the prisoner gad her forgiveness, as he was the worse for liquor at the tune, and implored her to remain, and he would not repeat such conduct. She consented to stay, but for the servant to sleep with her after W=L e l night. On Sunday sight she retired to her bed, but tie servant who had a friend with her in the kitchen was later than usual, and before she went upstairs the prisoner burst into the prosecutrix's room, got into bed with her, and after • severe struggle he perpetrated the offence, the prosecutrix having resisted as much as possible ; but she appears to have been frightened by the knowledge that prisoner was iu i.oesession of a brace of pistols. In the morning prosecutrix told the servant what had occurred, and the police were communicated with. A warrant being obtained, the prisoner was apprehended and lodged at the police station. The bench remanded him for further ex amination, and he was again locked up. He occupies • house in a fashionable part of the town and the case has occasioned great excitement in the neig h as WAGES OF DOCKYARD LABOURERS. —Last night a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Deptford was held at the Literary Institution in that town to take into con sideration the present low wages paid to the dockyard labourers, and to adopt measures thereon. The chair was occupied by the Rev. C. F. S. Money, incumbent of St. John's, who observed that the large attendance of influen tial residents of the district that evening proved the ex tensive sympathy which prevailed on behalf of alarge body of men who were compelled to eke out an exist ence upon the miserable pittance of thirteen shillings per week. He believed that at Chatham and Plymouth • notice had been received that the wages of the dockyard labourers would be raised, and he thought if the question was laid fairly before the Admiralty, that their lordships would be induced to make such addition general in all the government yards. Mr. E. Atkins moved, " That, taking into account the present high price of provisions, and the increase in house rent which has taken place at Deptford, this meeting is of opinion that the rate of wages now paid to the labourers in her Majesty's dock and victualling yards at Deptford is insufficient to provide for the reasonable wants and necessities of life, and that an increase in the pa of the said labourers is urgently required." The motion was seconded by Mr. J. B. Langley, and supported by Mr. Maslen, • Poor-law g uard ian, who referred to the dire poverty existing amongst the families of dockyard labourers, who were unable to get sufficient food, and when sickness overtook them • treat burden was indicted upon the rate payers. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. Bowen moved "That in the opinion of this meeting an increase in the pay of the labourers would be attended by highly beneficial results, inasmuch that it would tend in • great measure to remove much physical suffering and social discomfort, and would stimulate the men to greater exertion. The motion was unaaimously adopted, as was the memorial in accordance with the objects of the meet ingto be forwarded to the Lords of the Admiralty. THE Hoe PLANTATIONS. —ROCHLSTER Julia 12. —A visible improvement has taken plan in the hop plan tations throughout the entire district of Mid West Kent, tiro late genial rains and warm ninny weather having proved exceedingly beneficial to the bop plants, which are now growing strong and luxuriously. In some of the more exposed gardens the plants have a sickly appearance, the cold ungenial weather which prevailed until within the last week or two having proved very disastrous to the plants in many districts. The reports from Ran Kent describe the hop aphis as being very much on the in crease, as many as sixty to seventy insects being counted on one leaf. The remedial measures about to be taken, however, by many of the large growers there is little doubt, have the effect of getting rid of these pests, the Lords of the Treasury having, on the memanl• of some of the largest growers, consented to the manufacture of a tobacco mixture, according to the recom mendation of Professor Dr. Volecker, to apply on the hop bine affected with vermin. In the West Kent plantations the hop gardens present a luxurious appearance, the young bine throwing out their midsummer shoots, the plants giving promise of yielding a fair average crop. Much, however, will depend on the weather during the next few weeks, the hop plant being exceedingly sensitive to sudden changes in th e temperature. In the face of the reports from the several districts the hop trade is very firm, while prices take an upward tendency.

SrnALT. —Yesterday morning Murdock and Conner resumed their places; the latter was let off by • family substitute after scoring • single. They then ran the score up to titt, Cesar and Mortlock not, arranging matters correctly. Julius had therefore to retire for • score of 43, composed of six fours, two threes, two twos, and singles. The slows got rid of Mr. Dow- I son, and then Mortlock had to retire from one of young James "best." His figures comprised four fours, four threes, Ore twos, and singles. The slows did the rest, and at the the innings was completed for 250; Mr. Miller bnnging out his bat for 16, composed of a eve (cut from Ellis, a four, • three, a two, and singles. This innings headed Sussex by 165 rune Sussex commenced their second Innings with a determination to win, and Wells and K illick were sent in to do the mischief. They remained until 84 runs were secured in their favour. The cricket was good, but the attendance was not so numerous as on the ant day. We may only add, by way of re mark, that Sussex will do well to attend to their colts, for without " fresh blood" infused into the county they cannot expect to meet with success. John Lilly was caught by a substi tute, and Ellis drove one beck easily to hills, the slow howler. Charlwood played a steady but a plucky innings of 44, composed of three fours, a three, five twos, and singles. When the stumps were drawn last evening, half-pest seven o'clock, Sussex had one ran to get. came in and immediately gave a chance to Lockyer, whi ch saved the single innings it was a high hit to long field The innings closed shortly before the hour of drawing, with a task for Surrey to get six runs to win. The result was as follows :—Sussex, first innings, 91 ; second innings, 170; total, 261; Surrey, first innings, 258; second innings, 6 ; total, 262. • GROUND Y. eNITERMIT OF CAMIVIEDGE.—This match was played at Lord's on Monday end Tuesday, when it came to a dose, the M.C.C. winning easily.

Mr. M`Mahon (with whom was Mr. Clarke) moved to make the rule abeolute in thin case, which wss for a writ of habeas corpus to discharge the applicant, a French banker, out of custody. The applicant, who had absconded from France, was apprehended in this country on a charge of fraudulent bankruptcy committed in France, and taken before Sir Thomas Henry, at Bow-street, who committed him to the House of Correction, to await the Secretary of State's order. The ground taken was that the applicant had not committed such an offence as would bring him within the Extradition Act. The learned counsel said that on Saturday the solicitor to the Treasury was served with a copy of the rule, when an intimation was returned that the treaty was at an end, and that being so it would be unnecessary for him (the learned counsel) to argue the question. Mr. Justice Blackburn said it was not the function of the court to decide whether treaties were at an end. That was a matter of state and not of law. Mr. M`Mahon submitted that the fourth article of the treaty was perfectly clear on the point. The Lord Chief Justice said the court could not try on affidavit whether or not the treaty was at an end. Every thing in connexion with the proceedings appeared to be regular, and disclosed a prima facie case of fraudulent bankruptcy, and therefore the rule must be discharged. The other learned judges concurred. Rule discharged accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--JUNE 12. —-- - - - Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justices Wiles, Byles, and Smith.) WELANIMEI T. lOVATL PACHA. In this case a rule was granted • few days ago, calling upon the plainti ff to show cause why he should not be prohibited from continuing some proceedings against the Pacha of Egypt which he has commenced in the Lord Mayor's Court. The affidavit plea stated that the Pacha was indebted to the plaintiff in • sum of upwards of 200,0001. in respect of some taxes which be had received, but which belonged to the plaintiff under a contract dated in 1854. The plaintiff upon this issued an attachment against all money belonging to the Pacha, which was or should be in the hands of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company ; and the present application was made at the instance of this company. The principal ground of application was that the money received was part of the revenue ofiEgypt, and that no action would lie in our courts against a foreign sovereign in respect of such a matter. The question to-day was whether a rule for a prohibition should be made absolute. Mr. Watkin Williams, who appeared in support of the rule, said that Mr. H. James, who appeared on the other aide, wished the came to be postponed, as he was not at present in a condition to show cause. The Peninsular and Oriental Company, however, would not consent to this course. The Court, under these cireumstances,Prected the rule for a prohibition to be wade absolute. Mr. Williams added that he believed that an application for a stay of pieve...dings would also be made on behalf of the Pacha of Egypt. CRYSTAL PA LACE COMPANY. The report of thedirectorstothe general meeting, on the litth, states : Without entering into such details as are necessarily reserved until the December meeting, it may be stated generally that so tar the year has been successful. Not only has there been a considerable increase in the at tendance of visitors sa compared with any previous year, but the season ticket receipts have materially increased over the large amount in band at the coiicgrunding period in 1865. As the extension of these two I.ag sources of income naturally leads to improved returns in other im portant items of revenue, it is clear that notwithstanding the recent commercial depression, and the unsettled state of politics, the prospects of this company have materially improved. THE EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Mr. J. W. Sworder, coroner for Hertfordshire, held an inquest yesterday at the Cowper Arms, near Wel wyn station, on Joseph Ray, the railway vard, killed in the collision in Welwyn tunnel on Saturday night, and John Rawlings, late fireman in the employ of the Metro politan Company, who received inch injuries in the same accident that he died early yesterday morning. Evidence of the finding of the bodies and the cause of death having been given, John Slur, the engine driver of the Great Northern train, said he was driver of a train of " coal empties," and passed Welwyn at 11.15. The occurrence happened to the engine at 11.20. The signals at Welwyn were " all right." The Coroner—Are you sure of that ? Witness—Quite sure. A tube bunt, and witness sent the fireman Kemp to Wray to tell him to " guard" the train and Wray said he had better go back to Welwyn, but witness refused, and was going on to Kneb worth with the engine when the Midland train ran into them. Wray remained in his break when Kemp spoke to him. The train was half way in the tunnel, and had been there 15 or 16 minutes when the collision took place.— Frederick Kemp, the fireman, confirmed the statement of the previous witness as to the Welwyn tunnel signals being " all right." The guard ought to have gone back and protected the train.—Charles Williams, the driver of the Midland train, gave evidence as to their running through Welwyn station with the signals at " all right." Mr. Mr. Hornby, the locomotive superintendent for the Great Northern, said the engine had been made by Messrs. Kitson, of Leeds. It had run 40,966 miles mines it was made, in March, 1865. One of the tubes bunt, but that is unavoidable. They are examined about every two years. James Bradford, the signalman at Welwyn, having been cautioned, said the " coal empty" passed at 11.20, Knet. worth being then clear, as telegraphed from there. He repeated that the " cal empties" were " in," but had no direct answer. He asked Knebworth, "Did you out?" and had answer, "Yes." Witness did not record it. The other train passed through about a quarter of an hour after.—Joseph Harding, the signalman at the Knebworth end of the North Welwyn tunnel, denied giving answer " yes," as stated by the last witness. He did , however, send back in reply to Bradford's message , but he said" no." —TheCoroner left it tothe jury to say whether eitherof the men were to blame, or whether the tube having burst, that as the primary cause of the accident would account for it. It was char at all points that if the man Wray had gone back to protect his train the disaster would have been avoided.—After half an hour's deliberation, the following verdict was returned by the foreman, Mr. Thoe. Waller : " The jury have come to the conclusion that the deaths of Joseph Wray and John Rollings were respectively caused by accidental' circumstances, and as the answer ' yes' or ' no' rests on the unsupported testimony of the signalmen themselves, the jury think it best notto say anything more of the matter."—Captain Rich held his official inquiry after the inquest. --4 11 l insidoitobsy TALLo y 77 Tumer..... :6..42L T Evio • rnt tosdied.. jum a id. .
