IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COM:IIONS.--I.Vr:ixt , Dsv, 3lav 29. Mr. Fsweerr moved the wound imuling of the Uniformity Act Amendment Bill. The orly object of the bill, lie said, was to repeal a clause in the Act of Uniformity, which rendered it necessary that the fellows of colleges should conform to the liturgy and funnulwies of the church of Digliana. The bill was permissive, because it would have no effect un less the colleges by choosing to elect a student as fellow who was a nonconformist chose to bring it into operation. He had never said that there was a majority of the members of the une-ersities who were in favour of this measure, b..t there was a strong minority. In his opinion the advantages and emoluments of the universities ought to be open to all her Majesty's suNecis, irrespective of their religious opinions, and he thought the non confermists ought not to be content with the pre sent compromise. Mr. Moluitsos seconded the nution. He said no doubt it would be argued that the endowments were intended for members of the English church, but the answer was that the most important of themit•ere left not for the protestant but for the catholic church. Mr. SELWYN moved the rejection of the bill. He said the real question was whether these colleges, which had been endowed by private individuals, and derived nothing whatever from the State, which were now connected with the church of England, were by act of parliament to be dis severed from that connexion. The great majority of the members of the university he represented were against the bill, not a single college had petitioned in its favour. Dissenters were already admitted to the universities, and could take de grees. They were excluded only from the fellow ships and the governing body. These tests, he submitted. ought to be maintained, and the dis senting communities themselves had in their trust deeds concerning their colleges enacted test.. The bill proceeded on the assumption that these fellow ships were mere prizes, but thin was a mistake, for attached to the fellowships were duties, some of which could not properly be fulfilled by a noncon formist, or a catholic, or a Jew. 3/1: - 606.4T seconded the amendment. He looked upon a fellowship not in the light of a prize, but of a trust, and he thought it would be as reason able to ask that a nonconformist shoalil be made a bishop us that he should be made a fellow of a col lege. Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART supported the bill. Sir W. HEATHCOTH thought this bill, and that of Mr. Coleridge, were calculated to unsettle the existing order of thhe only justification for which would be on are and overwhelming ma jority being in fav that being done. The protestant dissenters who had withdrawn from the church could have no right to participate in these endowments, and if, as a matter (4 policy, they were permitted to share in them, he thought it better that there should be a contscation to a cer tain extent, and that part of the property should be at once assigned to the dissenters. Mr. Serjeant Gssette said the fzet that not one of the heads of colleges had petitioned in favour of I this hill was, with ex that a body would hin ri i 3 , a ii ) ,: ct a e rment in its favour, be for it was not to , reform itself. The fallacy of the arguments I against the bill was that these colleges were, nurseries for the education of the clergy of the I church of England, whereas they were for the public. Mr. GLAD.TONS said he was unable to vote for the second reading of the bill. It was true that in some cases duties were attached to fellowships, but that was not the general rule, and at Cambridge, and still more at Oxford, the obtaining of a fellow ship was the crowning of the university career. He agreed with Mr. Selwyn, that the education of the clergy was an important element in the case. He did not think that the clergy ought to be edu cated in an institution where they would not mix with other classes of society. The religious ques tion with regard to the universities ought to be dealt with as a whole, and he objected to the in troducing piecemeal hanges which were calculated and likely to be followed by other tentative mea sures for the settlement of the question. He did not think this bill was suflicient for a settle ment of the question, and it was but fair to the universities that whatever parliament thought should be done, should be done in a complete form. Moreover, he thought that the principles that ought to govern this matter ought to be determined by parliament, and not be left to the colleges themselves. Another objection to the bill was that it would not admit the catholic', and in that respect also would there fore not be a complete measure. Mr. B. HOPS believed that more evil would be done than good effected by throwing open these establistunenta. He emphatically protested against these continued attempts to unsettle the univer sities. Mr. CARDWELL felt it his duty to support the second reading of this bill. By a large majority the house had sanctioned Mr. Coleridge's bill, the principle of which was to establish a free univer sity. This bill had been spoken of as if it inter fered with charters, and called on the heads of colleges to adopt new rules ; but the bill merely repealed a statutory declaration, and left the colleges free to act in the matter as they pleased. Mr. HARDY said at least in the governing body of the University they ought to have but one mind in religion. Believing that this bill was a step to degrade the colleges into secular institutions, he trusted the house would continue to resist it, as they would resist all attempts to destroy the re ligious education of the country. Mr. Boovmuc was in favour of the religious character of the colleges. There was but little of it, but he did not wish tosee that little removed, and he believed that this bill would not in the least affect it. The bill merely left the colleges at liberty to pass their own bye-laws. Mr. HENL E Y believed that the strong religious feeling of the country would set itself against these endeavours to do away with all distinction in re ligious teaching. He opposed the measure on that ground, and also because it was an attack on the rights of property. Mr. FAwcwrr, in reply, said if the bill got into committee he would introduce a clause which would admit the Roman catholios. On a division the second reading was carried by 200 to 156. Mr. DENMAN moved the second reading of the Attornies, itc., Certificate Duty Bill. Mr. Hi - wr moved the adjournment of the debate, but on a division that motion was negatived by 132 to 91. Mr. AvaroN addressed the house against the bill, his remarks being of a discursive character, and he continued his speech until a quarter to six o'clock, when by the rules of the house the debate stood adjourned. The Local Supplemental No. 2, Bill was read a third time. The house adjourned at ten minutes to 6 o'clock. THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT MANCHESTER. —To-morrow there is to be a meeting of cielegates front the various branches of the National Reform League at MM. cheater, and on Saturday afternoon them is to be a great open air meeting of all classes of reformers.

REFORM MEETING AT ROCHDALE.—(ht Tnesday night a reform meeting was held in the Public-hall, Roch dale, presided over by the mayor, Mr. Rol.fniion.

Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) UNITED STATIL. OP AMERICA r. WAGNER. Mr. Martin examined the applicnnt's papers, and said that the court had no power in the matter. it was one of those melancholy MIS in which the poor lost their money by trusting it to imprudent hands. The bank was in course of winding up, and could only be dealt with in Chancery. The worthy aldermen then consulted together, and after a time expressed their strong sympathy with the poor loan for his loss, and ordered him :If. out of the pour-box to supply his present necessities. Tillutt, who appeared very grateful for the gift, thanked their worships and retired. ORDINARY LIINATO This was an appeal by the plaintiffs from the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood, who bad allowed a demurrer to the bill under the following circumstances. The bill was tiled by the United States of America for the purpose of establishing their right to cotton and other goods in this country, winch bad been consigned during the rebellion, by the Confederate government, and weir now claimed as State property by the United States. In their bill the plointiffs said they had now discovered that the defendants' firm, Messrs. Fraser, Trenholm, and Co., had from the commencement of the rebellion been the recognised financial agents of the Confederate States in England, and that in such capacity they had ex tensive dealings with the Confederate States, and had received in addition to the cotton, the subject of a former suit (The United States v. l'rioleau), divers ships, moneys, ' and vials, which had formed part of their public !woo perty, or which they claimed in their public capacity, and not otherwise. As the plaintiffs claim was that they were the red owners of all the public property of the late Con federate States, the bill prayed that en account might be taken of all moneys, and goods, and steam vessels and other ships which had at any time come into the custody of the defendants as agents or trustees of the Confederate States, and that the defendants might be ordered to pay or deliver whatever, on taking such account, should be found due from them, or in their posse...ion or power. The defendants demurred upon the ground that no in dividual state officer or member of the executive, who could he called upon to give discovery upon a CMS/ bill, had been put forward on behalf of the United Stases. The Vice-Chancellor, in allowing the demurrer, observed that if he were to allow that great and powerful nation called the United States to sue in that name simply, without putting forward any person against whom relief by way of discovery could be obtained upon a cross bill, be should he conceding to them an advantage enjoyed by no other suitor in that court. No question arose as to their right of suit in this country, but simply as to the form in which they must sue. It was clear upon autho rity that the form adopted was wrong, and on the ground that the defendant was entitled to have some pereon I pointed out to him from whom he could obtain that dis covery to which in common justice he was entitled, the demurrer must be allowed.

Sittings in Ilanco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shoe.) WALLMiTEIN V. HERBERT. 6WAT& This was an action to recover penalties for an alleged infringement of a copyright in certain music in a piece founded on Lady Audit?, Secret. The plaintiff is a musician. and the defendant is Miss Herbert, lessee of St. James's Theatre. The action was tried before the Lord Chief Justice in Middlesex, when it appeared that Miss Herbert had received the music along with other music of the theatre, it having been composed under the manage. ment of her predecessor, Mr. Frank Matthews, under whom she claimed. The piece was adapted from the novel by Mr. Roberta, but the music was composed by the plain tiff, and the question was under what terms. The plaintiff's case on the trial was, that he was engaged to provide for a certain sum a and and all the music that was required, whether old or new. The music in question he composed expressly for the piece. The case on the part of the defendant was that, by the terms of the agreement entered into between the plaintiff and Mr. Frank Matthews, the latter had, so to speak, purchased the plaintiff's brains, and that consequently he was en titled to all the original music which he composed for the St. James's Theatre under that agreement. The plaintiff, however, contended otherwise. That although ho was bound to provide what music was required, the agreement did not deprive him of the copyright in original music. On the trial the verdict passed for the defendant, j reserving the defendant leave to move as to the true construction to be put upon the agreement between him and Mr. Frank Matthews. Subsequently Mr. Edward James. Q.C., obtained a rule to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Day showed cause against the rule • Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. Grillits supported the rule. The Lord Chief Justice said it was quite clear that by the terms of the contract between the plaintiff and Mr. Frank Matthews, the latter had • right to grant Miss Herbert • license to perform Lady Audley's &era with the mask. It was not a musical composition, but merely an adjunct to the piece, and that under the circumstances the plaintiff co'dd not recover in an action for an in fringement of copyright. The other learned judges concurred. Rule discharged. COURT OF PROBATE.—MAY 29. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GYLL C. GUI. After oar report Wt yesterday, Formal proof of the will and codicils having been given, the defence was abandoned, and Sir J. Wilde admitted the whole of them to probate. He also condemned the defendant in the coats. - - ----- - THE POLICE COURT& OtT;LpHALL_ Sir R. W. Carden brought before the sitting magistrate, Alderman Allen, a case of fraud which, in his opinion, was one of the most cruel that bad ever conic under his notice. A few days ago • poor man waited upon him for his advice and made the following pitiful statement :—He said his name was E. Tillott, and he was a carpenter, living at No. 9, New North.street, Finsbury. For the last few months he had been ill, and was driven to the extreme of poverty by being unable to work. He had formerly worked for the late Alderman Lawrence, and knew well that gentleman's tw3 sons, who were now aldermen for the City of London. He had always been saving money, and during the last 30 years had accumulated a sum of 2481. In the beginning of 1864 he was induced to deposit some of his savings in the National SavinpßankAssociation (Limited), which put for ward a prospectus of a most flourishing character, quoting opinion s of the press as to the public benefit such a bank would be, and drawing attention to the rules that if one-third of the capital (100,0001.) should be lost, the concern should be wound up, so that the depositors' money could never be touched. To that prospectus were attached as trustees and directors the names of Sir Robert J. Clifton, Bart., Notts, chairman ; J. W. Williamson, Eaq., 4, Stone-buildings, Lincoln's-inn ; Thomas Riddell, Esq., 40, Gibson-square, Islington ; Major J. F. Wieland, 31, Threadneedle -street, City, and the Manor-house, Hanfield Middlesex ; and T. Randall, Esq., Owersby, Lincolnshire (local). The in spector of branches was the Rev. George Swann, of Stat. ford ; the auditors were C. L Lawson, Esq., F.LA., 14, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall ; and John J. Purvell, Woodlands, Stieathamhill ; the solicitors were Messrs. Brady and Sou, 35, Old Jewry, City, 8.C.; and the clerk to the board was George William Brady, Esq. On the faith of those names he kept paying in his savings until he had paid in the whole of the 241!., the last payment of 101. being made on the 28th of May, 1866. Directly after that the bank stopped payment, and poor Tillott wrote to Mr. Brady respecting the deposit of his 30 years' savings, and to that letter he got the following answer, enclosing a notice of a meeting of the shareholders at Birmingham to wind up the affair, which was to be held on the 2.3 rd of June then ensuing :—" National Savings }lank Association (Limited), 35, Old Jewry, City, EC.. London, June 18, 1866.—Mr. E. Tillott, 9, New North-street, Paul-street, Finabory.—Sir,—Enclosed I hand you a printed form showing that next Saturday an extraordinary meeting will be held of shareholders, &0., to decide w hat is to be done ; until then, nothing can be done. We know that it is very hard for such as you to he placed as you are at present, but then reflect that if the directors had continued paying out, and had sold off their securities, you would perhaps have lost all your money, and how much worse that would have been for you. At present you will see that nothing can be done, and though we are all sorry for you, I could advise you to do nothing but wait patiently till after the meeting, when you will most likely ant back your money. Yours obediently, Geo. W. BRADT." The meeting was held atßirrningbam on the day named, when Mr. William son presided, and produced a balanoe-sheet, which showed good ar.d doubtful debts in one sum at 42,0001., and be yond that a deficiency of 5,0001. He proposed a resolution for voluntarily winding up the concern, and it was strongly opposed, but upon Mr. M illiamson informing the meeting that the money was lost, and it was no good in cavilling about spilt milk, and that he held proxies sufficient to carry anything he proposed, the opposition gave way, and the resolutions for winding-up were carried unanimously. Finding this to be the result the poor man wrote to Sir Robt. J. Clifton, and got the following answer from him : " August 4.-184,—Nobody can regret more than myself that the directors have felt it their duty to wind up the National Savings Bank Association. I have forwarded your letter, and I trust that in a very short time the ac counts nifty he laid before the shareholders, and that the depositors may receive their deposits with very small, if any deductions.—l remain. &c., R. J. Currou."— Not being able to hear Anything more about the concern, or get say of his money, be wrote to Mr. Doulton, H.P., whom be believed to be connected with the bank, and received the following reply : Lambeth, April 19, 1867. —Sir,-1 am desired by Mr. Doulton to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and to say that he regrets to hear of your loss through the savings bank to which you refer. Mr. Doulton has not been connected with it now for several year., and therefore does not know what pros pect there is of depositors getting back any of their money. Every Thursday and Friday morning, from 9 to 10 o'clock, Mr. Doulton can be seen at Hodge 's distillery, Church street, Lambeth.—Yours, he., Y. ILLIAN PATTON. Mr. E. Tillott." From that time to the present the poor man eould get no information as to how the affair was going on, be yond the fact that it was being wound up. He had been for A considerable time ill, and was now in a state of utter destitution. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1867. ÜBE LISTS.-(THIS DAY).

Albert Booth, described as a gentleman, surrendered to his bail upon the charge of having assaulted Miss Nellie Stanley, who described herself us an actress. Mr. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, now appeared for the prisorer ; and Mr. Oldrieve for the prosecution. Upon the former examination the prisoner was charged with having assaulted the complainant in an omnibus. The assault, as stated, was that he first took hold of her arm and asked her how she felt, and afterwards that he pressed his hand very hard upon her knee. Then, upon being remonstrated with, he broke prosecutnx's sister's umbrella. At the former hearing prisoner asked for an adjournment to produce witnesses. A very long investigation into the case now took place, in the course of which the complainant was cross-exandited atconsiderable length by Mr. Lewis. Mr. d'Eyncourt then said—The : young woman seems to me to have acted remarkably well in this matter. I heard her story upon the former occasion, and now her statement remains still the same. The evidence and statement for the defence I have heard, and it is an attempt to throw dirt upon her character. she leads the life of an actress and as a matter of course must go into public a good deal. Mr. Lewis—She visits music•halls. Mr. d'Eyncourt—You have thrown out questions as to her virtuous and moral course of life which you had no right to do. Mr. Lewis—Rut— Mr. d'Eyncourt—You bad better not discuss the matter with me now. It appears to me she has acted very well indeed. There baa not been the slightest wish or attempt to extort money. All she wanted was a written apolou, and I think she was entitled to that to retain her cha racter. Upon the former occasion I should have been con tent to have fined the prisoner, but after the Imputations thrown upon the young woman's character I must go farther. Mr. Lewis—l beg pardon for interrupting, but if any thing I have said should tend to make your opinion adverse to my client, I am sorry; but I can assure youl have only gone according to instructions given to me, not by bin., but by others. For their indiscretion I hope be will not be made to suffer. Mr. d Lyncourt—The young woman baa come here to have her character cleared. He has called her a proeti• tute. All I can say is that she leaves this court with her character mum ached. The prisoner must go to prison for 14 days, without the option of a fine. At the rising of the court prisoner was allowed to go at large, on finding good bail, in order for his solicitor to appeal to the Secretary of State. MIDLAND RAILWAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the pro prietors of the Midland Railway was held yesterday, for the purpose of considering, and, if thought fit, approv ing several bills new before parliament in which the Mid land Company are interested. The meeting was opened in the board-room at the railway station, Derby, and then adjourned to the large room at the Corn Exchange, in order to accommodate the large number of proprietors present. Mr. W. H. licrrenixsox, chairman of the directors, pre sided over a very large and, on the whole, orderly meeting, and at the outset, in answer to Mr. Garn ham (Otley), said that no amendment could be permitted to the resolutions which would be brought forward, excepting a motion for the adjournment of the meeting. In answer to Dr. O'Brien, the chairman further stated that he as • shareholder had the right to obtain, and had obtained, in conjunction with fellow shareholders, two lists of the proprietors, for which they had paid—(hear, hear)—and that they had not asked for any proxies, or sent them out at the expense of the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) The chairman then proceeded to my that the directors had divided the bills which had pulsed the ordeal of the House of Commons into several classes ; the first, bills of which the Midland Company were the pro moters ; bills of which the Midland Company were the promoters jointly with other companies ; and also hill/ promoted by other companies which proposed to confer or take powers affecting the Midland Railway Company. The directors had hoped that the whole of the bills would have been ready for consideration to-day, but from various reasons that was not the case—the bills for conferring additional powers on the Midland Company, and for the amalgamation of the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company with the Midland Company, and for other pur poses not yet being ready. (" Hear, hear," and signs of disapprobation.) The directors, therefore, proposed to adjourn the consideration of those bills to a meeting to be bed on Tuesday next. Proceeding to remark generally a lor tio tt, i l ) ) o lr ers of . the ll w.conior he p urpose chairman man enab s i lid the company to purchase lands on various parts of the n line g e , which are much wanted for the accommodation of the traffic and for the purpose of making sundry mineral rail ways ; for the purchase of another mineral railway ; and also for the lease of the Tewkesbury and Mal vern Railways, and other purposes. The capital originally proposed by the bill was 170,0001. in shares, with 56 , 000 1. of borrowing powers. The directors impressed with the opinion so strongly held by the shareholders , areholders would leave out of this bill as much as they could, and hoped to be able to ask for not more than 70,0001. of capital and a proportionate amount of borrowing powers. (Hear, hear.) They would also, in deference to the wishes of the shareholders that no more money should be expended than was absolutely necessary, be willing to withdraw the clause. With regard to the Midland and South Western Junction, it was • line which formed a most valuable connection between the new Bedford and Landon line at Hendon and the railways south of the Thames, and they proposed altering the present working arrange ment with the company into a perpetual lease of the line, by doing which they would save half per cent. upon the share capital. There were also bills to incorporate the Cheshire lines, and for other pur poses ; to confirm certain arrangements made between the Midland and Great Northern, Midland and Eastern, Norwich and Spalding, Stamford and Essendine Rail ways ; to authorise the Bristol Port Railway and Pier Company to construct railways for connecting their exist ing railway with the Bristol and South Wales Union Railway and the Bristol and Birmingham line of the Midland Rail way ; a bill for making • railway from Barnoldswick to the Leeds and Bradford Extension of the Midland Railway ; and to authorise the making by the Bedford and Northampton Railway Comny of Imes of railway by way of substitution of lines already authorised to be made by them. In reference to the terms of amalgamation with the Glasgow and South Western Railway, the chairman said it was originally proposed that they should be equal, but the Scotch company had since suggested that in the event of the dividend on the amalgamated line not reach ing 4 percent, and the earnings on their own line ex ceeding 4 per cent., they should have a lien on their own traffic to that extent. The resolutions authorising all these lines were passed unanimously, with the omission of all borrowing powers. The chairman said that this was done in deference to the expressed wishes of the share holders. Mr. PRICE, M.P., seconded the resolution moved from the chair, and a long and animated discussion ensued ; ultimately all the resolutions of the board were adopted, and the meeting adjourned to Tuesday next. THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE AT KEW GAR muls.—On Sunday last the council of the National Sun day League and a urge number of members visited Kew gardens, and in the evening an introductory lecture on botany was to have been delivered in the forest adjoining the gardens. On assembling at the spot, however , Mr. Smith, on the part of the authorities, suggest e d that an adjournment outside should be made, as the grounds of Kew being on the same footing as the metropolitan parkA no quaking could be allowed. Against this it was argued that the botanical collections were for the education of the people, and would be appreciated in proportion as they were understood ; that to prevent the plants being de scribed to a small party would fail even were the authori ties to attempt it ; and that the principle was the same whether the numbers present were two or two tbonean,L Mr. Smith pointed out the difficulty the keepers would be placed in if speaking of any kind were permitted, as the onus would be thrown on them of discriminating between sectarian preaching and lecturing on botany by scientific men. The latter indeed might be used as a cloak to intro- duce religious controversy. The greatest courtesy was shown by both parties, and the wish of the authorities was acce ded to by the council on the understanding that the matter should be further discussed by correspondence with Mr. Smith's superiors. The lecture was then given on the green by the river side, and the party returned to town, Luang spent a pleasant afternoon. - - - SHORTHAND WRITERS' ASSOCIATION—On Monday evening last, at the usual weekly meeting of this society at Dick's Coffee-house, Fleet-street, after the conclusion of the formal business; the president (Mr. T. J. Wood+) delivered a lecture on "Observation." This association has been in existence six months, it is devoted to short hand writers employed in legal, commercial, and other offices. Since the formation it has rapidly increased in numbers and has developed a su ffi ciency of talent amongst its members to ensure each weekly social meeting be ing an opportunity for recreation both instructive and social.

The Field-Marshal Cornmandingintlief having approved of sprinted form of proceeding' of courts martial which has been submitted and recommended the Right Honourable the Judge-Advocate-General, her Royal Highness is pleased to direst that the same ohs] be taken in use and adopted in all future trials. the adoption, however, of these printed forms by rag mental courts-martia l might entail inconvenience it keeping the proceeding in the guard books at precut use, his Royal Highness desires that the whole of the pro ceedings of such courts should be written on the tape issued for those books. 3. Requisition' for the prime forms should be made only by generals or other often commanding districts and divisions at home, and mace abroad, who can regulate their distribution to the nit or regiments, Sc., as circumstances may render iaceuiry. 4.

ANOTHER ENGLISH STEAMER FIRED At IT SPANISH Gegeo•r.—The following is an extract from letter dated Gibraltar. May ffil :—" The British steam Peninsula, belonging to London—a regular trader berme Gibraltar, Cadiz, and England, and well IDIOMS to every Spanish guarda-ooeta for 20 years—was "teaming quietly along her usual course from Gibraltar yesterday aftemou —she was some distance to the north of Cape Trafdpr, and full five miles from the shore—when she mu sp pre by the Spanish gunboat Peare . idad, sad a not was fired at her without warning. The captain of the Peninsula immediately hoisted the British map be in spite of this another gun was fired at the Pc ninsula after the ensign was hoisted. The am of the Peninsula cannot 'weer whether the gue were *hotted or not, but fortunately no shot struck the Peninsula, which vessel was stopped, sad • Spanish °fee came on board with a sailor who spoke broken BM* and demanded the name of the steamer. Then be Mt ' Why did you not hoist your colours?' and added. Tok are too near the shore ; you have no right to be se nee shore.' The captain of the Peninsula replied. 'I hoisted my British ensign the moment you fired panful shot, and we are on our usual course between Trslll4‘r and Cadiz : all steamers keep this course, or even ludo it.'
