A LARGER gathering of members than has been seen in the House of Commons in any August for many years back assembled yesterday evening to take into consideration the amendments introduced by the Peers into the Representation of the People Bill. Mr. DISRAELI, who occupied a position which was difficult to even his tact, and would have been impossible to the self-respect of most men, introduced the topic in a speech abounding in bis most select and impressive epithets, freely distri buted, and enunciated in his moat sonorous style. Nothing could be better than the Bill, except the Lords' method of dealing with it. It is " compre " bemire." A few months ago Mr.Danazu would have called it discriminating. But its transfor mation has forced him to revise his terms of praise. The Lords have been "prudent, dignified, and " conciliatory," and also "cordial and confiding;" they have abstained from "eloquent invective," and we may add from eloquence of any order, and have been superior to " the stately, not to say " sullen reserve," which in previous times they exhibited under the parallel circumstance of having to do what they very much dis liked. These high moral virtues have been accompanied by what Mr. DISRAELI rather parsimoniously calls "adequate intelligence." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER called upon the House of Commons to rise to the height of this great ethical example, to enter into a noble competition in self-abnegation with hereditary ex cellence ; to be in its turn dignified, prudent, con ciliatory, cordial, and confiding. In other words, Mr. Domani asked the House to accept the Lords' amendments, since the Lords had not challenged any of the principles on which the Bill was founded, but had only endeavoured surreptitiously to limit and control them. He pointed to their magnani mous behaviour with respect to the lodger fran chise ; how they had voted black to be white on one Tuesday, and then had voted it black again on the next Tuesday, and all out of deference W the House of Commons. Conduct so accommo dating ought, in Mr. DISRAELI'S view, to be recipro cated ; and though he thinks the direct repre sentation of minorities to be vicious in prin ciple, though Lord DERBY has pronounced it to be unco nstitutional and mischi evous , th oug h 40.4 muse d Counlepl had condemned it by an overwhelming majority in a Ala gOUte, he ex pressed his willingness and that of his colleagues to eat their own words, and hoped, with good rea son, as it turned out, that the House would do the same, in compliment to the Lords, and in recipro cation of a similar feat on their part. This was capital comedy ; JOSEPH and CHARLES SURFACE were never more happily blended ; but we may be permitted to doubt whether the character of Parliament and the reputation of English states men gain by such exhibitions. In a few sarcastic words, in which cold performed the effect of fire, Mr. GLADSTONE protested against Mr. DISRAELI'S challenge of admiration for the conduct of the Peers with respect to the Bill, and especially with regard to the lodger clause, and entreated that on this subject members who could not praise might be allowed the privilege of silence. Mr. Banana's appeal did not at first seem to have produced much effect. On the motion of Mr. W. E. FORSTER, very effectively supported by Mr. HIBBERT, an amendment introduced by the Lords, requiring payment of the borough rate as well as of the poor rate proper as a qualification for the franchise, and thus almost covertly imposing an onerous condition on the now voters below 101. rental which is not required from the old voters above it, was disagreed to without a division. This amendment, which would have had a largely dis franchising effect, is a sample of the way in which the Lords have endeavoured secretly to withdraw a part of the boon which they nominally conceded. Lord Carrens's amendment extending the lodger franchise to the occupiers of meta of chambers and rooms not separately rated, which was avowedly introduced for the purpose of giving votes for the city of Oxford and the borough of Cambridge to students within College walla, deservedly met with the same fate. The case of students occupying lodgings is2not affected by this decision ; but the argument against converting into local politicians young gentlemen who are called " educated," but who are rather in course of education, and who are sent to to the Universities, not to assist in govern ing the country, but to discipline themselves in humane letters or the severe sciences, is so obvious, that the decision of the House of Commons, when the question is again brought before it, can scarcely be doubted. The impropriety of engag ing young minds prematurely in theological contro versy is always insisted upon when University and College tests are threatened. The objection is at least as strong against inviting them to premature political partisanship. On the motion of Mr. COLVILE, the fifth clause of the Bill, reducing the copyhold and leasehold qualifi cation in counties from 101. to IV., which the Lords had struck out, was restored, after a divi sion, by a majority of 47 in a House of 423 mem bers. Then came the great subject of recent con troversy, the question of the limited vote in three cornered constituencies. Mr. lam ur moved that the Lords' amendment be disagreed to ; and he did so in a speech than which he has delivered few in the House of Commons more impressive by simple yet weighty, grave yet animated, oratory. He showed that the scheme of limited voting, as THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1867. applied to eleven or twelve great constituencies, has no pretension at all to be considered as an equitable system for the proportionate representation of minorities. Its first effect will be to diminish the relative power of great as compared with email constituencies, upon all the cardinal questions which divide parties—in other words, it will weaken the force which, by all but unanimous confession, requires to be strengthened. Mr. MILL, Mr. FAwcerr, and others, have persuaded themselves that though this will be its first effect, its ultimate result will be different ; and that it will lead to Mr. HARE', scheme of personal representa tion, or to equal electoral districts. In other words, they accept a present harm because they think that out of it will spring a future good. They are avowedly venturing in a lottery. They are playing again something like the game of the Tea-room party earlier in the session. The ques tion is whether Mr. MILL and Mr. Faweerr or Mr. Lowe and Lord CRANBORNE will draw the prize. We doubt whether these speculative and almost gambling investments in particular schemes are likely to contribute to the safety and dignity of the country. After Mr. BRIO HT'S speech, times the stream of the debate flowed on, at threatening to be swallowed up and lost altogether, through a desert of dreary speakers, beginning with Mr. BEREEPORD HOPE and ending with Mr. NEWDEGATZ. Replying to a remark of Mr. BRIGHT'S, the member for Stoke claimed to be the member for the majority in his borough, while his Liberal colleague was the member for the minority ; and argued that no degradation or inferiority attached to this secondary posi tion. But Mr. HOPE, as is usual with him, neglects an essential distinction—the member for the minority in Stoke, and in every existing constituency, is elected with the acquiescence of the majority, who, if they chose to combine against him, might have defeated him, and he, therefore, in a certain sense, represents them also. He is not forced upon them against their will and by a restriction upon their voting power. Mr. KNATcHBULL-HUOMISEN contended that eminent, but temporarily unpopular, statesmen would find in the minorities of great constituencies the refuge which, nomination boroughs formerly afforded them. But the minorities can only vote, as such, when all the seats are vacant ; and a statesman thrown out at one general election will have to wait for his enlightened minority until the next. Another point is worth notice. The emi nent statesman who has found refuge with a mi nority will be practically excluded from an official career. For in taking office he will be sent back, not to his own fraction of the constituency, but to the whole of it, which is by hypothesis hostile to him ; and his re-election will be all but impos sible. He is not likely, therefore, to seek this refuge. The other supposition on which Mr. HUGENSEN'S argument depends, that the Tory or Liberal party is more enlightened and likely to choose better men when it is one-third than when it is two-thirds of a great constituency, needs only to be stated to exhibit its portentous absunlity. Nevertheless, against fallacies such as these, Mr. GLADSTONE'S eloquent assertion of the doc trine of representation of communities through their majorities, as opposed to that of sections of communities, proved vain, and Mr. LOWE'S conclud ing speech was followed by a division affirming the Lords' amendments by a majority of 253 to 204. The whole scheme of redistribution of seats is thus re-opened, and a challenge is given to an agitation which is sure to produce disturbance, and may end in constitutional changes of which no one at present dreams. Mr. CRAwFORD'S motion for exempting the City of London from the fate of the three-cornered constituencies was equally fruit less. Then foiloWee. t! ,4 diaCUSsion of the Lords' amendment providing for the use of voting :ADM at borough and county elections, which, in spite of Mr. Disitaint's offer to restrict it to counties, was deservedly rejected, after speeches from Mr. M. TOR'S/4S, Mr. DODSON, Mr. VILLIERS, and Mr. BRIGHT had exhibited its true character and inge nious adaptation to purposes of fraud and intimidation. Thus one only of three important alterations introduced by the House of Lords into the measure has been accepted by the House of Commons ; and how many sessions that will survive is open to question. Tim debate on the Simla Court-martial has exhausted that very fertile subject of scandal. A " near relation " of Captain JERvis has made an elaborate defence of that unfortunate officer ; " a " near relation " of Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD has advanced the little that can be said in extenuation of the Indian Commerrnra-lx-Carzr's conduct. Both the late and the present Government'appear to have been pledged to the course adopted by Sir JOHN PsaiNurow relative to the unhappy busi ness. But a very large minority pronounced what was no doubt the impartial opinion of the House : that the recommendation of the Court martial should be given effect to, and that Captain Jsavis should be reinstated in the army. We cordially re-echo the demand that has been made that the act of justice shall be accomplished. It is impossible to let the matter rest where it now is. Sir JOHN Paxixorox justly observed that the publication of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S despatch was necessary, in order that the House and tho public should fully understand the ques- tion. So highly does his Royal Highness think of the proceedings of the Court-martial, so fully does he adopt its decision and approve of its demea nour in this most trying case, that he has ordered Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD to be the medium of conveying to the court his Royal Highness's opi nion of the excellent manner in which its difficult and painful duty was performed. Having so fully adopted the decision of the court, the Duke of CsusaiDo scan hardly now hold back, and decline to give effect to its finding. It was clearly the intention of the Court.martial, by recommending Captain Janina to the merciful consideration of the COM MANDER-IN-CHIEF in India, to prevent him from being dismissed from the service. Notwithstanding the unlooked-for and intemperate interference of Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD, the Court refused to withdraw that recommendation. If this firm ness of the Court-martial deserves the high praise bestowed upon it by the head of the army, how can his Royal Highness hesitate to place Captain JERVIS in the position designed for him by the court f It is not possible for the DCKE to applaud the practical acquittal of Captain Jzavis by the court, and yet not give effect to that acquittal. A refusal on the part of the DEICE to carry out his expressed views to this fair conclusion would plunge him into intolerable inconsistencies of the kind we have indicated. He justly condemns Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD in the most severe terms for interfering with the decision of the Court-martial. He observes that the obviously proper course for th. Indian Commander-in-Chief was to abstain from giving judgment in his own favour, and to send the whole case home for the opinion of the head of the army. But the Duna in his despatch expresses the most unqualified ap proval of the proceedings and decision of the Court-martial. Hence we may infer with certainty I that he would have confirmed the court's decision and given effect to its recommendation if Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD had not so improperly inter vened. In other words, if Sir WILLIAM had behaved well, justice would have been done ; but because Sir WILLIAM has behaved—as ill as he well could—justice is impossible. Sir WILLIAM has pronounced judgment in his own favour against the decision of a court constituted by himself, and largely subject to his influence ; he has punished a practically innocent man with pro fessional ruin. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE has, so far, discharged a painful duty ably and impar tially, but the crowning sacrifice must be made. The publication of the DowE's despatch will probably entail Sir WILLIAM MANSFIELD'S resignation ; it should also ensure Captain JERVIS restoration to his old rank in the army. When justice has been thus satisfied, we trust the public will endeavour to forget this unhappy affair—will forget the faults, however grave, of a distinguished officer, and remember only that he has done good service to his country in a great crisis of her for tunes. The public will condone great errors when their penalty has been duly paid, but will view with discontent and anger high rank escaping un punished, and " vixenish ferocity" indulged with security by highly placed officers against those under their command. We trust the Duke of CAMBRIDGE will take immediate steps to give effect to his own admirably expressed views, and to the recommendation of the Court-martial, which all unite with his Royal Highness in considering to be entitled to the highest respect.

THE DIVISION ON CHURCH RATES IN OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) THE LORDS' AMENDMENTS IN THE COMMONS. Assuming that the acceptance of Lord Cairns' amendment with regard to the representation of minori ties is a triumph of knowledge over stupidity, and that Mr. Bright presented the spectacle of • sincere man hopelessly entangled in the false oonclusions of his own reason, the Times reviews the proceedings of the Com mons last night with general satisfaction. With regard to voting papers, the more the details of the plan are examined, the more odious are they made to appear, and the Times agrees with Mr. Mill that it would have been better to defer reform altogether if it were necessary that voting papers should be an element of it. But they are gone. The unwise provisions for throwing university residents into the constituencies of university towns have also gone. The bill itself—a bill, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer truly said at the be ginning of the evening, of greater scope than any which has been submitted to parliament for years—remains assured and purified. The Daily Rem concludes a review of the debate with observing :—Thus one only of three important alterations introduced by the House of Lords into the measure has been accepted by the Moose of Commons ; and how many sessions that will survive is open to question. There re main now for the consideration of parliament only matters of secondary importance. The Representation of the People Bill has virtually passed both houses ; for the peers will doubtleu be toe well pleased with their ono victory to insist on the provltions which the Commons have re pudiated. The Post remarks that any doubts which might have been entertained that the real object of the experiment of minorities was to neutralise the general effects of the en franchisement effected by the bill, must have been removed by the candid avowals of those by whom the obnoxious amendment was made. Arguments, however, had no weight with men who were prepared to follow Mr. Disraeli into any lobby into which he might be pleased to lead them. The Herald and Standard very much regret the rejec tion of the voting papers clause. The Herald assumes, however, that the Lords will accept the bill in the shape in which it le returned to them. One of the amendments upon which they laid most stress has been accepted ; and as for the voting papers, if the government, whose child the plan was, is content to sacrifice it, their lordships will ktrdly peril the bill by insisting upon retaining it. The retegraph reproaches Mr. Disraeli for not having had the courage to oppose the amendments of the Lords from the first. The house caught from him the spirit of servility and, like him, missed the chanoe of purging the bill and contenting the people. Thore is now nothing for it but to begin anew the effort to reverse this bad vote ; since the great towns were never wont to sit patiently under a prodigious wrong. Whilst strongly condemning the course taken on the minority representation, the Star says the results on the other subjects were well worth having, and the spirit shown ' by the Liberal members was worthy of their principles and of the great interests which it was their ditty to defend to the last moment of an arduous session. CHURCH RAT= IN THE ROUSX OF LORDS. The Times notices as a s i ngular feature in the church rate controversy that despite the profession on both sides of an anxiety to settle it, nothing is done and every pro- posed arrangement falls through. The halt is with the churchmen who do not agree among themselves as to the arrangements they think desirable. When they have agreed upon their own plan they have • promise before hand that it will be accepted by their opponents. It is greatly to be regretted that the House of Lords should have disposed of the bill last night in so summary a fashion. If, instead, they bad suggested • oompromise, it would have been favourably received in the House of Commons alike by the opponents and the supporters of the bill. Al it is, they have placed the two parties once more in the apparent attitude of direct antagonism. It is to be hoped, however, that the conciliatory expressions which were so universal will not be wholly void of results. The conclud ing words of the Duke of Marlborough may be taken to indicate that the government are disposed to take into consideration the simple abolition of compulsory powers— the bailiff, the summons, and the imprisonment—leaving the machinery as it stands. If this plan:he not at once accepted, it can be only bemuse sonic misconceptions still linger as to the real value of church rates and as to the extent of the concessions already granted. The Hon. Mrs. Herbert gave birth to a eon and heir on Thursday, the lst inst., at Muskross Abbey, Kil- At a special commencement of the University of Dublin yesterday, held to confer the degree of Doctor in Medicine (Aosoris cased) on the principal members of the British Medical Association, Dr. H. Acland, Regius Pro fessor of Medicine in the University of Oxford ; Mr. Will. Bowman, the oculist ; Dr. Paget, Professor of Medicine in the University of Cambridge ; Mr. Ramsey, Dr. Sibson, Sir James Simpson, Bart., Professor Syme, and Mr. Male, fellow of the Royal Society, reosived that honour. THE BUSINESS OF THE House OP LORDB.—The select committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of making such arrangements as shall enable the Rouse of Lords to meet at 4 o'clock, instead of 5 o'clock, for the de spatch of business and to consider if any and what changes may be desirable for the better transaction of the business of the house, report that the committee do not recommend any change in the hour of meeting. They are of opinion that the exercise of the right of voting by proxy by peers who have had no opportunity of hearing the debate is objectionable. It diminishes the attendance of peers in the house, and tends to weaken in the public mind the authority of the decisions at which the house arrive. They therefore recommend that the practice of using them should be discontinued, and that • standing order should be agreed to against their being called ; and that, to prevent such order being lightly sus pended, twice the usual length of notice should be given for the suspension of each order. With regard to en in• creasing practice of asking questions on private notice only the committee desire to express their decided opinion that notice of questions should in all cases be given in the minutes when there is no urgency, and in the event o f th e house confirming this recommendation they trust that it will also be supported by those to whom questions are proposed to be put, bytheir declining to reply to any with out such notice is given, except where delay would be in jurious, or the answer is of a character not likely to lead to a debate. With regard to committees on private business they recommend that the house should order the commit- tee of selection to exercise their discretion in calling for the service of Peers, although they may be absent from the house. THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The following peers constituted the minority who voted for the second reading of the Abolition of Church Rates Bill in the House of Lords last night : Marquis Townshend, Earls Abingdon, Camperdown, Cow per, Granville, Morley (teller), Russell, Viscount Leinster, Lords Belper, Csmoys, Charlemont, Churchill, Congleton, Dunfermline, Foley (teller), Houghton, Londesborough, Lyveden, Mostyn, Romilly, Seaton, Somerhill, Stratheden, and Taunton. The Earl of Derby and the members of the government voted against the bill, as also did the Archbishop of Canterbury, Earl Grey, the Earl of Shaftes bury, Viscount Evenley, the Bishops of Chester, Glouces ter and Bristol, Ossory, Oxford, Peterborough, and Salis bury. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and family have arranged to leave town on Wednesday next for Badminton, for the season. The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans are about to receive !company at Bestwood Park, their seat in Nottinghamshire. . The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster have left Grosvenor Howe for Moteombe Park, Dorset shire. Viscountess Clifden and family arc about to visit Gowan Castle, county Kilkenny, and will probably reside there several months. The marriage of Viscount Milton, M.P., and Miss Laura Beauclerk, second daughter of Lord Charles Beauclerk, son of the eighth Duke of St. Albans, will be solemnised to-morrow. From 1830 to the present year, both inclusive, proxies have, it appears, been called by the House of Lords 73 times in 38 years. For the first ten years proxies appear to have been used 30 times ; in the second, 22 ; in the third, 19 ; and in the last eight years, twice. On eight occasions out of those 73 have proxies overruled the votes of those present. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (asunt's nuawce.) THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN. ALOtbi '9.

ROME. ROME, Acousr 8, Ermin. The Giornale di Roma says :—" During the ni g h t of the 4th inst. 200 peasants left Velletri and proceeded to a place called Campetto, with the object of taking possession of some land belon g i ng to other persona, and of cultivating it for their own benefit. The government took energetic measures, by which the assemblage was dispersed, and the leader of the band was arrested. The riot we e , however, recommenced, in spite of the presence of the troops, and nine of the most turbulent indi viduals were taken prisoners. Order was thus restored, and the sinister intentions of those who had brought about the disturbances with perhaps a more serious aim were defeated." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, AuGusr 9. A royal decree dated Ostend, August 8, has been issued to-day convoking an extraordinary session of the chambers for the 19th August. THE FRENCH IN COCHIN CHINA. PARIS, AU:CST 9. Official despatches have been received here from Admiral de la Orandikv announcing the °coups, tion of the six western provinces of Lower Cochin China. The French troops occupied the towns of Ving Lung, Sadao, Chandoc, and Hatien without firing a shot, the mandarins of these places open. ing their gates with the unanimous consent of the inhabitants. The annexation of these territories to France has been effected because they served u refuge to pirates and agitators. A proclamation of Admiral de la Grandibre, dated 25th June, says —" Henceforth the six provinces of Lower Cochin China are and will remain French territory." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CUBA. The royal mail steamship Cuba, from New York, arrived at Queenstown at 5.50 a.m. to-day (Aug,ust 9) with 150 cabin passengers, and 121,100 ‘lOlB. in specie.
