The Earl of ZHAFIESTILTEY presented a petition from Iruilisten-bY-the-Sea against the compulsory abolition of church rates. PRIVATE BIiSMES.S. The following private bills were read a third time and —Greenwich and Woolwich Lower-road ; Harn- C e , d ßlandford, and Dorchester Road ; and Macclesfield, Xnutaford, and Warrington. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY (ADDITIONAL POwEitS) BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bill, The Earl of ZRTLAND moved the omission of clause 42, the object of which was to limit the amount of compensa tion in the event of accidents to be paid to passengers by the workmen's trains to 1001. ; and to provide that it should be ascertained not by a trial by .jury but by arbitration. The Duke of RICHMOND, in the interest of the work ing men themselves, supported the retention of the clause. By their act the company were only bound to run one workmen's train each way per day ; but finding that that was not aufacient to meet the wants of the working men, they now ran three such trains in the morning, and allowed the persons who travelled by them to return in the evening by any of the ordinary third class trains. If this clause was struck out of the bill they would put down those extra trains, and limit themselves to the one per day which they were compelled by law to run. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY viewed the clause with great suspicion, but on the understanding that it was sot to be treated as a precedent which should be followed upon other occasions, but should be strictly confined to the case of the Metropolitan Railway, which had no doubt done a good deal to afford accommodation to the working classes, he would not endeavour to strike it out of the Earl NELSON said that the principle of this clime MIS tot a novel ate, but had airway been acted upon in other bills. The clause was then agreed to, and the bill was read a third time and passed. THE COLONIAL CHURCH. The Bishop of LONDON prevented a petition from Miss Burdett Coutts, complaining that in the case of certain colonial bishoprics, to the establishment of which she had been • liberal contributor (60,0001.), there had been a dismal" of the funds from the objects for which they :ere r The petition wee deemed of sufficient importance to be read by the clerk at the table, and a debate followed, in the course of which The Archbishop of CANTERBURY remarked that the problem to be solved was how, after the recent decision of the Privy Council, the connexion between the mother church and the church in the colonies could be main tained. After that decision there could be no doubt that the colonial church was effectually severed from the supremacy of the crown, and the only way to remedy the evils which had been produced in consequence was to legis late upon the subject. Earl GREY considered that if the doctrines and formu laries of the established church were to be preserved, it was necessary to maintain the supremacy of the crown over every branch of the church. He recommended that a select committee should be appointed to inquire into the actual condition and position of the colonial bishops. Earl RUSSELL suggested that there were grave doubts as to the propriety of parliament exercising its power of legislating. The decision of the Privy Council in the Coleus) case showed the danger and difficulty of treading upon this ground ; and he had always understood that when once a representative constitution had been given to a colony it was not in the power of the crown to with draw it. The Bishop of OXFORD was of opinion that the im perial legislature had morally bound itself rot to interfere needlessly in the course prescribed by the colonies for the regulation of their spiritual and temporal affairs. Remarks were also made by Lord Lyttelton, Lord Houghton. and the Duke of Argyll, and the discussion was brought to a close by a notice from the Archbishop of York that on Thursday next lie should move for a select committee to inquire into the connexion between the colonial church and the church at home. On the order for reading the Public Schools Bill a third time, the Earl of Derby moved as a proviso that the power of changing the governing body of any of the public schools should not be vatted in the commissioners named in the bill. The motion was opposed by the Earl of CLARENDON on behalf of the government. Their lordships divided— For the amendment Against it (Laughter.) Some other amendments of a formal character having been agreed to, The bill was passed. The following were also read a third time and passed : The Labouring Classes Dwellings (Ireland) Bill, the Fishery Piers and Harbours (Ireland) Bill, the Belfast Constabu lary Bill, the Indian Prize Money Bill, and the Lunacy Acts (Scotland) Amendment Bill. Their lordships rose at five minutes past eight. a 3 Li 1 HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, JUNI 18. The SPEAKIR took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Mr. HILDYARD took the oath and his seat foe the southern division of Nottingham, in the room of Lord Stanhope, called to the Upper House. GAS LIGHT AND CORE BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bill, Mr. J. S. MILL said he had been requested tie Friday night last to keep the question relating to this bill open until that day, but having since consulted a number of his friends he was informed that it was not in consonance with the usages of the house to silk for an immediate re hearing of a matter that was so fully discussed the other day. He held in his hand a paper he had received rela ting to the subject, but which being informal he could not present to the house. It was signed by ;18 persons repre senting 151 houses and about 153,0001. worth of property. and they protested strongly against the evidence of the single witness on whose testimony they asserted the com mittee decided against them. The bill was then read a third time and passed. MODERN CREATION OF PEERAGES. Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notice that upon Thursday nest he would move for a return of all the peerages which bad been recommended for creation by the government of the late Lord Palmerston between 1859 and 1865 inclusive, and also of all the peerages recommended for creation during the tenure of office of the present government. (Hear, hear.) TRADES' UNIONS. Mr. E. COCHRANE gave notice that on Friday, the 29th June, he would cnll the attention of the house to the dangerous increase in the organisation of trades' unions, and move for papers upon the subject. THE FENIANS AND ERN THE UNITED STATES GOVM Mr. WHITE gave notice that upon Thursday next he would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, look ing to the conspicuous good faith and friendly feeling of the government of the United States towards this coun try in their recent conduct in reference to the Fenian', her Majesty's government were now prepared to refer all dis pot and claims on the part of the government of the United States to an arbitration which should be mutu ally acceptable. (Hear, hear.) KLECTOItLL RETURNS EXPENSES. tar. KEKEWICH asked a question as to the payment to the clerks of boards of guardians for the additional trouble and expense they had incurred in preparing the electoral returns laid on the tablet of the house. Viscount ENFIELD said the Poor-law Board bad re commended that adequate and reasonable remuneration should be allowed by the icuardians for the extra trouble given to the clerks, but this extra expense would be paid by the government, and would not come out of the rates.

They would have the effect of making it a real and true rating suffrage. It was impossible for him to assent to the noble lord's proposalas it now stood, because in eVerf UMW* in England there was a di ff erent system of rating. ("Hear, hear,' and " Divide.") Mr. VILLIERS, as the author of the Union Assessment Act, which had been often referred to, stated that it had worked well, and brought a large amount of property under amassment ; and he contended that the gross esti matedrental was as much the subjectof revisionandappeal as rateable value, and was more to be depended upon than the latter. He contended that the opposition to the mea sure was founded on objection to all reform, and all that had beer done had but o ne purpose, that of defeating the bill and postponing the extension of the suffrage.

I did not state anything that in the slightest degree resembled such a statement, but as the matter is one of consequence, and not merely of feeling, I will tell the house what I did state, and show how the matter stands. The hon. and learned member was right in stating that the bill depends upon the house and not upon the government, but still the government is entitled to have its convictions, and to follow the course which it thinks is for the honour and advantage of the country, and to decline to take any other course. (Hear, hear.) What I endeavoured to do was to make a separation between the political and the practical part of the subject. The political part was the enfranchisement, and the prac tical part the rateable value. With respect to the political part I said that the government would not be any party to the curtailment of the franchise moderate as it was in the bill, but with respect to the practical part, I endeavoured, like my noble friend, to handle it apart from the political objects of the bilL lam bound to say, however, after having heard the debate, that I have failed in doing so. Ido not retract one word of what I have said as to the purport of my noble friend's amendment, which I still believe is to limit the amount of franchise to be given to the people. The effect of the amendment is to substitute a rateable value of 71. for an estimated rental of 71. as the qualifica tion of the voter. It is in my judgment an amendment s triking a blow at the plan of enfranchisement proposed by the government, and so viewing it I can enter into no engagement on the part of the government that we will accept an adverse vote, or will regard such a vote as other wise than incompatible with the progress of the bill. (Cheers.) The committee divided — For the amendment Against it 304 Majority against the government There was another of those excited scenes which have been so frequent during these reform discussions. When the clerk at the table handed the division paper to Lord Dunkellin, shouts arose from the opposition which were repeated for some minutes. After the noble lord had read the numbers, these were repeated with renewed en thusiasm. Mr. AYRTON said that after the announcement which had been made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the committee had no alternative but to report progress. The hon. gentleman accordingly made • motion to this Siparting iEntslitgenct. TATIVitaALLS.—ItotrDAT.

ALaAMBRA PALACE.—Two new ballets, one a pan tomimic ballet, called the Pearl of Tokay, and the other a floral divertissement, called the Watteau Pete, have been produced at this theatre of varieties. The Pearl of Tokay has an Hungarian colouring, though the action reminds us of the old French ballet of The Rendezvous, and the principal dancers are the Brothers Kindly, and Mille. Kiralfy whose dancing is remarkable for vigour and activity. The Watteau Fete is a very pretty and brilliant divertissement, full of ingenious dances and evolutions, which include • very graceful skipping-rope dance by Mdlle. Hamsden. Nothing has been spared by the management in scenery and dresses to make these new productions attractive, and all the scientific aids of lime-lights, "prismatic showers," and coloured fires have been used for the same purpose. Mr. Calcott's celebrated "development scene" and butterfly spectacle, which have been immensely popular here since Christmas, have given place for a fortnight to the revived bat masyun ballet, at the end of which period the managers, aided by the same theatrical artist, who has been literally starved out of the " regular" theatres, promise one of the greatest rock and water scenes ever exhibited on any stage. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION or SOCIAL SCIENCE—Lord Brougham presided over the annual meeting of the department of jurisprudence and amendment of the law, in connection with this association, held last evening at the offices, Adam-street, Adelphi. Lozz OF FOUR LtvEn IN THE THAMES. —A truly lamentable occurrence involving the loss of four lives happened on the river near London-brifte shortly before 10 o'clock on Sunday night. It appeared that a party of seven persons, comprising three men, three young women, and a lad, living at Botherhithe, were returning down the river in a row boat from Kew. The boat was in charge of a person who, it is stated, has pawed his time as a water• man, but is now engaged as a barman. The tide was running down very fast, which may account for the mennot having greater control over the boat. As she was proceeding through the second arch from the City side of London. bridge, the Eagle Ramsgate steamer, which had juat landed her passengers at Fresh-wharf, was observed swinging round with the tide in order to take up her berth in the pool. The men in the steamer hailed the boat, but the occupants could do nothing apparently to avert the colli sion. The females became alarmed and stood up, and in a minute or so the boat was swept against the bow of the steamer and was instantly. capsized. Tho screams of the y oun g women, who all penshed, are described to have been truly heartrending. Ropes and life-buoys were thrown from the steamer, but unhappily the three girls aged re spectively 19, Is, and 17, and a man who has left a widow and a family of eight children, were drowsed. The three survivors succeeded in getting hold of the ropes and were got on board the steamer. One of the young women grasped the life-buoy, and just es a boat was nearing her she was sucked under a barge and no more was seen of her. The body of one of the girls—a Miss Sewell—has been picked up. Another of the females was named Deacon, whose father is a tradesman in Sotherhithe. THE FATAL GAS EXPLOSION NEAR REGENT'S PARK. —Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester resumed and concluded the inquiry opened at the Bank of England Tavern, Cambridge-place. Paddington, relative to the death of Elizabeth Stall, one of the persons killed by the late gasexplosion which occurred at the private residence of Mr. Ernest Oembart, N 0.62, Avenue-road, Regent's-perk. At the conclusion of some further evidence, the jury re turned the following verdict: "That the deceased died from the effects of a gas explosion at No. 62, Avenue road, Rftent's-park, such death being an socidental cause." The jury appended to their verdict an expre • ion of opinion to the effect that the gas fittings on the wica don were carelessly made and left, but the jury had not sufficient evidence before them to show that such careless ness was the canoe of the explosion. SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY. —With a view to as certain the practicability of lessening the loan of labour in retail trades, a number of the most eminent drapery houses have agreed to begin closing their business pre mises at 2o'clock on Saftr&ys, from the 14th of July next, and to continue the same for three months. To carry this into effect they ask the assistance of the public, and To retVngued that they will make their purc hases for prior to the hour of closing, and thus sanction an arrangement which it is felt will prove a great boon to a very numerous class.

Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was present at the inauguration ceremony on the occasion of opening the new schools which have just been erected for orphan and necessitous children at Russell-hill, Caterham, Surrey. The inaugural ceremony took place in • spacious marquee erected in the rear of the schools. This tent was very tastefully laid out and decorated with flogs and banners, the Prince of Wales's feathersbeing placed over the doors. During the assembling of the company, and while the preliminary arrangements were being made, the band played various pieces; but about half-past 2 o'clock the approach of the royal party was an nounced by the striking up of " God save the Queen," and immediately afterwards the doors were thrown open, and a procession entered the marquee. First came the secretary, Mr. H. White, with Mr. J. G. Bland, the archi tect, followed by the board of management, the building committee, and the trustees, the latter being Messrs. J. Bradbury, A. Caldeeott, J. P. Foster, George Moore, F. J. Sargood, G. P. Thirkell, W. M. Westall, T. Westwiek, and H. S. Wren. Next came the treasurer of the institu tion, Mr. William Leaf, and the treasurer of the building fund, Mr. Walter Greatorex, followed by the Lord Bishop of Winchester, Earl Russell, K.G., the president, and the High Sheriff of Surrey. The Prince of Wales, who was accompanied by the Lord Mayor, and at tended by General Knollys, Colonel Keppel, and Mr. Peel, brought up the rear. His royal high ness was greeted with repeated cheers as he passed through the assembly and proceeded to take his place on the platform. The choir then, accompanied by the band, sang with fine effect the National Anthem; after which Earl Russell, as President of the Institution, read a short descriptive address, to which The Prince of WALES made the following reply :—My lord, ladies, and gentlemen,—lt is a sincere pleasure to me to see the work which we commenced in July, 1863, brought to a happy conclusion. Such a consummation, when we reflect upon the numerous classes of the great commercial community of our country whose interests it promotes, cannot but be gratifying to every one present, 1 and will induce us all gratefully to invoke the Divine blessing on the ultimate success of our undertaking. The attention that has been paid to the details of the building, and to the comforts and well-being of the children it is destined to shelter, I may say without presumption merits this nie ces. ; and if, as you have stated, that which is " worth doing at all" is "worth doing well" bee truth requiring any corroboration, I have only to point to this structure forthe most unanswerable argument in its support. Itonly remains for ins to thank you, my lords and gentlemen, for the kind expressions which you have used with reference to the part I have taken in this day's proceedings. A abort religious service, composed by the Bishop of Winchester for use at this inauguration ceremony, weeper formed, the bishop himself being the officiating minister. The Prince of W•Lis then declared the building opened, to receive for all time the orphan and necessitous children of warehousemen and clerks engaged in the wholes le trades and manufactures of the United Kingdom. The announcement was received with cheers, and a pro- cession of ladies passed before his royal highness, each of them laying a purse upon the table, and receiving in return a gracious bow from the Prince. Gentlemen then followed in like manner, the band of the Grenadier Guards playing the grand march from Le Medici* Malpri Lei. The re mainder of the service having been performed the bishop pronounced the benediction, and the proceedings of the nsugural ceremony were concluded by the choir and com pany singing the Old Hundredth Psalm, " All people that on earth do dwell." Subsequently the company adjourned to 'an adjoining tent, where an elegant d6etbser was served, the Lord Mayor presiding in the absence of Earl Russell. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given and responded to, and after " Success to the Institution" had been drunk, the secretary announced subscriptions to the amount of 6,500 guineas, 2,000 of which were found in the purses presented at the ceremony. The company then separated.
