IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN' HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tworoirisr, Auct - sr 15 . In the Hoene of Loire: yesterday the royal assent was given by commission to the Representa tion of the People Bill, the Factory Acts Extennion Bill, the Railways (Ireland) Bill, the Public Health Act (Scotland) Amendment Bill, and the raster and Workmen Bill. The Appropriation Bill was read a first time. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Arrangement Bill was also read a third time and , on the motion of Lord RIDRSDAE, though passed protestedc L against it as the worst bill he had over known ; but on the motion of Lord Wear- BURY a clause was first inserted reserving the rights of the General Credit Company. Lord LYTTILTON having moved that the Com mons' amendments to the Increase of the Episco pate Bill be agreed to, The Earl of DERBY objected to the formation of new bishoprics being left to the arbitrary decision of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and also to the new bishops being inferior in position to the other bishops and incapable of succeeding to seats in their lordships' house. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY agree in the objections of the noble earl, but was reluctant to give up the bill. The Bishop of OXFORD remarked that the bill in its present shape would be fatal to any prospect of an increase in the episcopate. The amendments were agreed to, except as to clause 2. The Army Reserve Bill, the Militia Reserve Bill, and the Public Works (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. Lord STRATFORD DE RaDCLIFFE, in moving for further papers connected with the insurrection in Crete, bore testimony to the spirit and courage of the insurgents. The loss of the island would be serious, on account of its position, and still more so on account of the stimulus which would thereby be given to further insurrections. It was desirable that parliament should be made acquainted with what government were doing, in order that its in fluence might be strengthened, especially in re straining the aid afforded from Greece to the dis affected subjects of the Porte, whilst on the other hand it insisted on the Porte fully carrying out the obligations it has undertaken on behalf of its Christian subjects. The Earl of Dsitar replied that it was not expe dient to produce the papers at present. Omar Pasha had achieved great successes, and the ques tion had assumed a different aspect. He did not believe that the great body of the Cretans desired to be annexed to Greece, although they wished to be relieved from the Turkish rule. It would be much better for the Greeks to give up their ambitious dreams, andjdovote themselves to the improvement and welfare of their own country. He bore testi mony to the desire of the Porte to ameliorate the condition of its Christian eubjects, and said although no doubt excesses had been committed on both sides, on the whole the Turkish troops had behaved well. The motion was withdrawn, and the house ad journed at 20 minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tausensv, Anotwr 15. lw the House of Cox/sows, at the morning sit ting, Mr. Bulgy, in reply to a question from Mr. laird, stated that the contract for carrying the China and Australian mails would terminate on the 2nd February . next, and consequently the house would have no opportunity of expressing an opinion on a new contract till after that contract had been made. The Peninsular and Oriental Company had expressed their willingness to continue the contract for six months longer on being paid au additional 10s. per mile, terms which the government thought so exorbitant that they could not accede to them. There was great misconception as to any arrange ment with the Meseageriea Imperiales for the car rying of the China mails. All the government ever contemplated was to carry out the recom mendations of the select committee on the subject. It was never intended to hand over the whole of the service, not only for China but for India, to the French company. Government thought, however, that they might avail themselves of the French company, which performed the service once a month, giving the French government the benefit of our service on the alternate fortnight. Mr. WHAILIY, who rose on what he said was a question of privilege, complained that while he was asking for permission for Mr. Beales to be present under the gallery while the Parks Regula tion Bill was being discussed, the Speaker refused that permission, and used expressions impugning his veracity, td he was proceeding to comment on this, when The Ciuttorttoa of the Excnequxu rose to order, and after expressing his surprise that Mr. Whalley should have used the language he had to wards the Speaker, submitted that this was not a • question of privilege. The SraAwsz, after stating that he did give permission for Mr. Beales to be present under the gallery . , characterised the whole proceeding as un becoming and improper. The house then went into committee on the Parts Regulation Bill. Mr. Dermas moved that the chairman leave the chair, a motion which he said meant that the bill should not be again proceeded with this session. The bill, he said, practically denied the right of public meeting in London, and he urged on the government the inexpedisswygof prog with it this session. I •4- . Mr. Omen( said be i aseli no part in the discus sion the other day because be did not approve of the tactics of his friends in " talking the bill out." but he was stronglyof opinion that the government should postpone the bill till a future session. Mr. NIWDBOATI thought the house ought to take the same measures to preserve the freedom of its debates as were taken in America, and that it was unbecoming in them not to apply the same regulations to their royal parks as were made with reference to other parks. Mr. HANILST stated that he should vote against the motion, but he submitted that this was a ques tion that ought to be settled by the house, and not . by the few members who were left. He was willing to go with the government to make proper regula tions for the parks, bat he thought they ought not to proceed with the bill this mession. Mr. LIDDILL should abstain from voting, because he thought the bill ought not to be forced on at this period of the session. Sir C. O'Looni.sw also advised the postpone . ment of the bill. Mr. G. HAZDY observed that the bill had not received the treatment that it ought to have re eeived. If hon. members determined to defeat the bill by delay, he did not deny that they could do so, but he trusted that the house would reject this motion. The discussion was continued by Mr. Crawford and Mr. Lefevar, who advocated postponement, and by Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who asked if it were intended to talk the bill out. Mr. WHALLEY replied that he would do his ut most to effect that object. Mr. Wianin suggested that some compromise should be come to. After some observations from Mr. Alderman' LURK and Mr. O'Bstaxi, who both urged the post ponement of the measure till another session, The house divided, and the motion was rejected by 86 to 31. ) Mr. SHERIDAN then moved that the chairman report progress, and • Mr. HARDY, after vindicating the ODOM he had . pursued with reference to the bill, said be found at necessary to yield to an obstinate minority, and lie would therefore withdraw the bill. The Royal Military Canal Bill was read a second • time. The Agyienitural Gangs Bill was read a third e time and passed. r' The County Courts Acts Amendment Bill was read a third tame and passed. The London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance . Bill ; the Thames Embankment and Metropolis ' Improvement (Loans) Bill • and the Banns of Matrimony Bill were withdr awn. The sitting was then anspended. The booms twomablad at 9 o'clock, and wont THE 'EXPRESS, , FRIDAY .BRENLNG, 7ATTGUST 16; E " 1867. into committee on the Thdfie Regulation (Metro polis) Bill, the several clauses of which underwent rough discussion ; hut they were eventually agreed td With some amendments. The bill passed through committee, and Mr. G. HARDY Stated that he should propose the third reading this day. The Royal Military Canal Bill passed through committee. • On the consideration of the amendments in the Consecration of Churches and Churchyards Bill, Mr. Ort.rnw moved to add a clause providing that when any land is added to an existing church yard, a portion of such land shall be allotted for burials otherwise than in accordance with the rites of the Church of England. Mr. HARDY opposed the clause. The clause was rejected by 33 to 14 ; and the bill was then read a third time and passed. The order of the day for the committee on the Representation of the People (Scotland) Bill was discharged. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock until 3 this day. ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. EYDE, Auouar 15. The race to-day was for a piece of plate, value 100/., with 2rd. added, presented by the Marquis of Exeter, the commodore of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.

ZgoliA 162 Mr. J. Mulholland. Menai A very great change has taken place in the weather since yesterday, rain and lightaing having been very general at an early hour in the morning, which wee followed by thick drizzling rain, with a nice breeze from the south-west. This race, as stated above, was a time rue on Ackers' scale, but is lieu of the usual course of starting all the vessels toge ther and making the deduction for time allowance here after, this day the very reverse of that course was adopted. The vessel to which the largest allowance of time was made started first, and so on in that order, the vessel having to make the greatest allowance starting last. The yachts were started as follows :—Prima Donna, 13b. 3m. • Panto mime Bh. 14w .; Egeria, Bb. 111 m. 55ssa • VolaLte, Bh. 18m. Panto mime, ; Marina, Bh. 21m. 45sec. ; Witchcraft, Bh. 22w. 4fieec. ; Aline, Bh. 23m. 15sec. ; Fione, 81. 27m. 36ece. • Menai, Bh. 28m. ; Condor , Bh. 40w. 33c0. The Columbine, Diadem, and Menai did not start. The cowrie waste the eastward, and starting at these irregular intervals no time could be noted as to their movements. The wind was rather light at starting from the S.W. against an ebb tide, and the di ff erent yachts worked well against it, and were all soon lost to view. The Bullock Patch Buoy is about six miles below the Nab Light, and it was rounded first by the Pantomime. On the return to Ryde she was still leading, running before the wind with balloon jib and flowing sheets. The course was now to the east buoy of the Middle, which was soon rounded, the Pantomime continuing the leading vessel, although the Aline was too close upon her to make the race anything but comfortable for the Pantomime. On completing the firseround, off the starting runt the different yachts were timed as follows : M. IL S. P=4ollllBo ll 2 42 Aline 1 4lerla ll 6 33 Votante Fiona Witchcraft Menai ll 21 11 Condor Prima Deane ll 26 6 Marina They then went again to the eastward, the Pantomine increasing her lead over the Mine, both vessels being re markably well handled, and leaving the others a long dw tones astern. Before the Aline had reached Spithead the Pantomine was leading by a minute and a half. Before she got to the Bullock Patch Buoy however, for the second time the Mine had taken t►e lead, which she maintained throughout the rest of the course, and won the race by five minutes. The time of arrival at the finish of the race was as follows : IL H. & Aline Pantomime Wiz 1 117 46 Witchcraft Votante 1 65 I Priam Door Camilar Mead Captain Thellcuron, the gallant eemaseilore, thus winp the pose, an addition to his resent Lep number, and the second gained by him during the present regatta.

Loudon and Ryder, of New Bond-street, and it is is the form of an immense jug, and the design of it is takes from Martin's celebrated picture of " Belehassar's Feast." It was expressly designed by en art pupil at the South Kensington Museum, from suggestions by the noble com modore Umaelf. Certain Thellusson is so highly esteemed here th►t se soon as the gun was fired proclaiming him the winner of the prise, loud cheers were given him by many of the yachts lying off the station. The race for to-morrow is for the Cup, above referred to, given by Captain Charles Thellusson, Commodore of thp Victoria Yacht Club.

WINDSOR AND ETON RZOATTA.—This 10211 1 regatta took place yesterday (Thureday) the course • chosen between the Rushee and Windsor-bridge.

PIT ON FIRE.-011 Sunday and Monday last, ocianderable exeitentsat was cieesaioned at Barnsley by report that the Kingston Main Colliery, belonging I Messrs. L Sutc liff e, wu on fire. Such was the cast, . no one was injured. The pit was fi red eight =oa th s i viz., on the fah of last December—but th ree days prior ' the awful calamity of the Oaks colliery. At that time t was sealed up, is the hope of smothering it out ; an!l once or twice it has been opened, but immediately again owing to the prevalence of fire. A week agn the I was again re-opened, and during the week the work= I were employed endsarmring to put out the fire by threw. 1 big water into the workings by cases. of pipes, During Sunday • large quantity of roofing fell, and the firs burst forth again. Dense volumes of smoke ascended the shaft and oixosiocally accompanied with fire. Next day the services of the fire-brigade were milled into requisition. The engine was again taken on to the pit premises, the 1 how was lowered down the shaft, sad • stream of water was poured upon the fire the whole of the day. _ The fire is within • dozen yards of the bottom of the shaft, but the men are of course afraid to approach it, althoogh they are I enabled to throw the water a distance of thirty yards into the workings, and it is hoped by this mesas they will be able to e ff ectually put out the fire. The solid emit has been got oat many years ago, and it is merely to get out the standing " posts" that the shaft ia used. A Somme= WrrcE.—At the last Axbridge petty session, Ann Davis was summoned by Elizabeth Williams for cutting her arm with a knife. Complainant stated I that in plating Davis's °Atop on the 22nd of June th e offered to sell her • Bower. They entered into con versation' and on leaving Davis flew at her with a knife she had concealed, and ant her in three oil the arm. In her defence Davis said that Williams wu always " haggling her to death ;" and in reply to a question from tbe bench, said that Williams was • witch ; that she could keep nothing from her ; that on more than one occasion she canoed lon to be thrown from • cart ; that she had killed her donkey and had also killed her cat. She acknowledged that she scratched Williams with • pin, believing that if the drew blood Williams would have no further power over her. The bench thought that probably the 'null. *xylem wu the best place for a person entertaining such dangerous notions, but ordered her to find • surety to keep the peace for three months. Her husband, who evidently shared some of the old lady's ideas, reluctantly consented to be bound for her. [Advertisement.

As the gentleman from the hospital had humanely offered to keep the prisoner in the hospital until something was arranged, he should discharge the prisoner.
