Ms. Pori Hssussv's Roman Catholic Pri sons's Bill stands for second reading in the House of Commons to-day. The professed object of this Bill is to secure the rights of Roman Catholic Prisoners in respect of the exercise of their reli gion ; and it is reasonable to expect that so far as it is calculated to effect that object, it will' re ceive general support. But there are clauses in the Bill which, as it seems to us, are no:; necessary to that end, but have been inserted for a very different purpose--clauses which are false in principle and mischievous in tendency—provisions which do not contemplate the prisoner • rights of conscience, nor his spiritual advantage, but the installation of the Romish Church in a position not conceded to any religious community whatever in these realms. lf, on the one hand, the Romish Church is not to be wronged in the persons of its members because of its numerical weakness, on the other it is not to be placed in possession of privileges, detrimental to the community at large on account of its extravagant pretensions to authority. A first glance at the Bill does not leave the impression that it is conceived in the spirit of liberty and equality. It starts from the proposition that "largenumbers of theprisoners confinedin the " prisons of England and Wales are members of the " Roman Catholic Church," and that it is expo• dient to make provision for their religious and moral instruction in conformity with their convic tions. Even if it be admitted that a Church may properly found a claim to supply chaplains to our prisons on the fact that it furnishes a large number of the prisoners, are there no other unestablished Churches whose members have the misfortune to be imprisoned for their lapses from rectitude—no careless-walking Presbyterians or unsteady Me thodista—and if so, why is not a comprehensive measure brought in by which the benefits now sought for Romanist' might be secured for all Roman Catholics have not been backward in times past in seek;ng the assistance of Protestant Dis senters to get security for their civil and religious liberties. If they do not now unite with them in a matter in which they appear to have a common interest, it is natural to ask why. We have no doubt Mr. Pork HYSINIESBY and his friends are well advised. Their aims will not bear the scrutiny of the believers in vo- luntaryism or the friends of religious equality. This is not a Bill to secure the rights of the unhappy prisoner, but to aggrandise the authority of his Church. The only authority which can be recognised in a prison is the authority of the State, and the only religious rights which require to be guaranteed are the rights of individual prisoners. In our English prisons the Chaplain is a functionary of the civil power, chosen by it, and responsible to it. The Church of England, indeed, supplies the Chaphi-, but the conditions under which he shall act are settled by civil authority. Under such a system a pri soner not a member of the Church of England, whether Protestant or Catholic, may justly claim to be free from molestation in his religious belief and practice. He ought to be protected against proselytism, nor should he be compelled to attend ceremonies and observances which offend against his convictions. He ought further to be allowed at reasonable intervals to see a minister of big own religion, if he so wish. This seems to satisfy the justice of the case ; and if Mr. Pore HES4NDIESY'S Bill had been confined to these or similar objects, it would no doubt receive the efficient support of liberal Protestants. But its framers have other designs. The first clause takes away the religious liberty of the Roman Catholic prisoner by com pelling him to see the priest whenever the latter may be inclined to visit him. And the :ollowing clauses take away the liberty of the proper managers of the prison. By the second clause it is pro vided that to every prison in which a certain num ber of Roman Catholic prisoners shall have been con fined, during a period of three months, the Justices " shall without delay appoint a priest of the Roman " Catholic Church, to be nominated for that pur " pose by the Roman Catholic Bishop exercising " episcopal jurisdiction over the Roman Catholics " of the place in which such prison, gaol, or house "of correction is situate." By other clauses the Justices are required to assign the priest a salary,and appoint a convenient room for morning and evening prayers, masses, and the like. The fourth clause makes the right of the Romish Church to establish its worship in a prison irrespective of the number of prisoners confined or the appointment of the justices, for it provides, that " Where in any gaol, " prison, or house of correction, no Roman Catho " lie chaplain shall have been appointed under this " act, or while no such chaplain is in office, a " Roman Catholic priest, to be nominated by the " Roman Catholic Bishop exercising episcopal " jurisdiction over the Roman catholic' of the " place in which such prison, gaol, or house of " oorrection is situate, shall have all the same " rights and privileges, and shall be at liberty to " perform such duties in respect of then; as if he " were appointed chaplain to such prison." It THE will be seen at a glance that this Bill is designed to give to the Romish hierarchy—a body irresponsible to the State for the exercise of its power, rights, and prerogatives, such as the Church of England dare not ask. The chaplains to be appointed under this Bill are to be appointed really and solely by the Romish Church, and be answerable only to that Church ; and as that Church claims to be above the State, and refuses to acknowledge its rights in religions matters, it is certain that any attempt to uphold the discipline of the prison against its subversive authority would be re garded as Protestant persecution. All difficulties on this score will be avoided if the House of Commons will take the simple course of safeguarding the rights of the prisoners severally to communicate with their priests for the purpose of instruction, and to be protected from aggression upon their conscience, but reject the demands of an exacting and usurping Church. A bill such as this is can only pass the House of Commons under favour of a general ignorance of its contents. THE FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ROME. This morning official papers respecting " the French oocnpstiou of Rome" were issued, comprising font despatches from Lord Cowley, with replies from Earl Russell, together with a despatch from Sir J. Rudman, addressed to Earl Russell. Earl Cowley, in his first mem munication,l enclosed a lengthened extract from the Journal des Mots, in which the suggestion of a mixed garrison at Rome, of French and Italian troops, was advo cated. In his reply to Earl Cowley, Earl Rueell mays : " With reference to your Excellency'. despatch of the 14th March, I have to state to you th►t • mixed French and Italian garrison at Rome would not be convenient. It would be much better that the Italian troops should be allowed to occupy the whole of the Roman state on the left lank of the 'Mier, and that the French should occupy the Vatican region of the city, Civita Vecchia, sad St Peter's Patrimony, on the right bank of the Tiber. Were this plan adopted, as a temporary arrangement, the Pope would be protected ; his dignity ea • sovereign prince would be recognised ; and miter a time the King of Italy and the Pope would by force of circumstances be reconciled. M. Thouvenel ought not to shut his eyes to the evils of the present state of affairs. They are: The French govern ment makes itself unpopular with the Italian, and espe cially the Roman people. 2. No Italian government, whether of Ricasoli or Rstaul, or anyone else, can control efficiently the Marsinians, who thereby obtain undue influ ence. 3. A war may spring up at any time, the vicissi tudes of which may fares the Emperor either to abandon his own work in Italy, or to defend Italian independence at the cost of a great and sanguinary war. Great Britain, so far from interposing any obstacles in the way of France, is desirous to co-operate with her io finding • solution for the Italian question." Is a subsequent despatch, Earl Cowley lays M. Thouvenel was of opinion that his lordship's plan would not be ac cepted by either party ; the Pope declaring that he will listen to no arrangement which did not restore to him the possessions which he had lost, and the Italian government refusing to sanction any settlement which did not recognise Rome as the capital of Italy. Earl Rummell replies that he would accept the plan. "We know well that even the liberal arrangement of 1815 met with a protest from Cardinal Goundvi on the subject of Ferrero and Oornacchio. The Pope, therefore, would not consent to anything less than the restoration of Bologna and Ancona. But this oonsent need not be asked more for Rome than it was for Bologna. Your Excellency will recollect that as soon as the Austrian troops left Bologna, the city threw off its allegiance to the Pope. So it would be if the French troops were to leave Rome. With respect to the consent of the Italian government, your Excellency will perceive that her Majesty's govern ' ment propose or suggest thin plan as • temporary arrangement. If it were proposed as a final settle ment, an Italian min;ster would, no doubt, hesitate or refuse to agree to it. But, as • temporary arrangement. no one can believe that the evacuation of Rome, Velletri, and Frosinone, and the left bank of the Tiber, by the French troops, weed not be eagerly accepted by the Italian people. Naples would be satisfied with a government aittiog at Rome ; and the charge that • ministry at Turin were attempting to Piemontizzare' Italy would fall to the ground." Earl Cowley, on Marsh 28, informs the noble earl of another conversation with the French minister :—" B. Thouvenel then went into various argument" to prove, as he said, the rights which the Pope still possessed es • tem poral sovereign,and to show that the claims put forward by the Italian government to Rome as the capital of Italy, as also to Venetia u an Italian province, were totally un justifiable according to the common understanding of inter national law. Ido not enter into these arguments, because it was easy to convince him that they had no weight with the imperial government, when the Legations, when Umbria and the Marches, when Tuaceny, and when Naples and Sicily annexed themselves to Sardinia. I merely mention them thus cursorily to you- lordship as farther evidence I say it with nefeigned regret —of the little hope that is to be entertained of modifying by discussion or remon strance the coons which the Emperor's government is resolved to pawns with regard to the Papal question. The solution of it has been abandoced, to all outward appearance at least, to the Pope, and 1 tee no other sure policy foe Italy to pursue than to endeavour to consolidate the admieistra- Mon of the countries of which she is composed. She will thus acquire internal strength and impose external confidence, and so be ready to take advantaged every favourable oppor tunity to complete her unity by showing the truth of the I proverb, that in union there is foam" Writing on the 2sd of April, Earl Russell (haves : " B. Tbouvenel no longer speaks of the difficulty of per suading the Italian government to accept of such conditions as her lifejMy'r government had suggested. Nor is there any question of forc:ng the Pope to abandon his temporal power, and remain in Italy se the subject of another sovereign. The. whole question is, whether the Pope hub* lost Romagna, the Marches, and Umbiiit should retain the whole of the territors now occupied by Francs, or whether the French troops should occupy for the Pope only the patrimony of St. Peter, including the Vatiem. Setting aside all dllerence between a protestant and Roman catholic sovereign, it is manifest that the principle thus Upheld is at variance with the principles maintained everywhere else by France am well as by G rut Britain. Rome is foreign ter:limy ; the Romans are to have nothing, and foreign troops everything, to say to the form of its govern ment This system cat h►rdly be of long duration, it is too directly opposed to the maxims of international law and the Mahes of the Gallen people. Ido not, however, wish your Excellency to enter into any polemics on this question. But, on the other hand, the Frenchgovernment must not make it a reproach to the government of Italy that the southern provinces are not in • state of tranquillity, while the French flag protects the Pope in maintaining • sanctuary where every chief of brigands can find a refuge, and prepare his band for future incursions on peaceful provinces. You are not to read this despatch to EL Tbouvenel, but you may state to him the subject of it." The despatch of Sir J. Hudson, dated May 8, gives a most favourable picture of the state of affairs at Ancona sod other Italian towns and cities. "The aspect of the towns is the Marches and Umbria," be says, " is that of cities awakened to new life." Thu country from ADCOO4 to the Papal frontier is anxiously exporting the completion of the rail ways, which are already commenced. "At the Tiber the scene changes, and we enter also upon the desert. The con trast between the fertile garden of the Marches and Umbria studded with substantial farms and well-kept country houses, and the desolate Campine, was striking —between the bustle and vigorous life of their towns and the solemn measured tread of Rome. It is clear that the reason for their secession was the inability or unwillingness of Rome to keep pace with their progress ; they have outstripped her, and left her far in the rear. Rome may join them ; they never will return to Rome voluntarily." On Monday the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland laid the foundstioessone el the Bing and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland, on the ite of the Kildmre-atresi Club•homee, which was burnt some time ago. There was a numerous sassmblage of the mobility, the medical profes sion, and OM retry of the city of Dublin.

Colonel the Bon. A. Herdinge attended on horseback. The Prince and Pr;ncess Louis of Hesse took leave of her Majesty to-day, and embarked in the royal yacht Victoria acd Albert, from Osborne Pier, this afternoon, for Antwerp. The suite in attendance consisted of Itaroneu von Schenck, &JOINS/ von Grancy, Captain von Weeterweller, Lady Churchill, and Major-General Seymour. Meetings of the English and Irish Courts of Law and Chancery Commissioners were held at No. 6, Adelphi-ter race, on Saturday, tho sth, and Monday, the 7th instant— Preeent at both meetings, the Right Hon. the Master of the Rollo, the Right Honourable Abraham Brewster, the Vice- Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, Mr. Justice Willa, the Right Hon. the Attorney-General for Ireland, the Solicitor. General for Ireland, and Richard John Theodore Orpen, Esq. ; and at the meeting of the sth, the Right Hon. Joseph Napier, and Mr. Baron Hughes ; and on the 7th, Robert Bayley Follett, Faq., commissioners ; end at both meetings, W. Nielson Hancock, Req., LL.D., and H. R. Vaughan Johnson, Faq., secretaries. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the North American Provinces, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the Governor of British Columbia. Despatches were sent to the Governor of the Falkland Islands. DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS LOUIS OF HE SSE. PORTSMOUTH, Jun' 8. The royal steam-yacht Victoria and Albert, Cap tain G. H. Seymour, CD., proceeded to Cowes yesterday afternoon to be ie readinees to embark their Royal High near the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, for convey ance to Antwerp. It w►s intended, we believe, that they should embark at once, and leave Cowes at a time last evening which would have enabled them to reach Antwerp this morning, but a very strong wind prevailed from the eouth-west, rendering the voyage nu. desirable, unless it were a matter of necessity. Their Royal Highnesses, however, left O.borne-house this afternoon, and embarked off Cowes, shortly before flue o'clock. The yacht immediately afterwards got under weigh, and pro ceeded on her voyage, accompanied through Spithead by the steam-yacht Fairy, with other member of the royal family on board. We are not aware whether her Majesty was on board, but on passing Spithead, the royal standard was saluted by the Channel fleet at Spitheed, ooneisting of the Revenge (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Robert Smart), the St. George, Trafalgar, Warrior, Emerald, and Chanticleer, and by the Danish frigate Norkopiog. This was, we believe, the first salute of English royalty since the death of the late Prince Consort. When the Victoria and Albert approached St. Helen's the Fairy returned to Osborne. " The Queen of England," lays the Nord of Brume's, "will arrive in the Belgian capital about the end of this mouth, to visit King Leopold, after which her Ma• jesty will proceed to Ooburg•Ootha." . . - Their Royal and Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess Hermann of Saxe-Weimar honoured Lord and Lady Llanover by their compaoy to luncheon on Monday last. There were also present—the Baroness Brunuow, his Excellency the Banc Bentirick, the Duchene of Wellington, the Marquis and Marchioness of Huntly and lady Mary Gordon, the Marchioness of Ely, the Marchioness of Lon donderry, the Hon. Evelyn Ashley, the Hon. R. Wingfield, Genera the Hoe. Sir Edward Oust, and Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Herbert of Lleaarth. Mr. and Lady Isabella Schuster and Miss Guinness have arrived at their residence in Queen'iegate, en route foe Chalford Park, Bucks. Mrs. Thomas Fairbairn gave a grand concert at Ina residence in Queen's-gate on Monday evening to the foreign commissioners to the Exhibition. On Monday evening the mansion and grounds of Fitzroy Park, Highpie, the seat of Lord Dufferin, were the scene of festivities, at which about 700 guest. were present, including many distinguished foreigners. The president (the Earl Stanhope) and tho coun cil of the Society of Antiquaries received a numerous and brilliant arch of their friends on Monday night at the house of Miss Burdett Coutte, in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, who had kindly pissed her residence at the disponi of the society for tie cession. All the principal apartments were throws open for the convernarne. THZ FRENCH GENERAL AT ROME. A correspondent of the Paris Pram at Rome asp: The liberal party has not yet been able to form an exact opinion respecting General Montebello. lie is dignified and silent, avoiding everything which might appear like a marked sympathy for the liberal party, or for the poutillaal government. Nothing has been changed at Rome since his arrival ; be has respected everything which was established by his predecessor, except that he has yet shown no inclination to visit Francis IL, with whom General Goyon shared his journals and was in daily intercourse. As for the Duchess of Montebello, she is blamed for her visits to the Borghese, the Ruspig liod, and other ladies well known for their pontifical sym pathies. Its forgotten that the duke and duchess occupy at Rome an official position, which imposes on them social ditties that they cannot e vade. It is stated that the day before yesterday the Princess G—, being in the evening at M. de Levalette's, warned the duchess of the rumours in circulation respecting her. " I would go willingly, my dear," said she, " to the gentlemen of the national com mittee, but the Roman police has never succeeded in ascertaining their address." This 7110 i, which is quite authentic, was repeated during the evening. RUSSIA. According to a rumour current at St. Petersburg, on the 26th August, the day on which the jubilee of the thousandth anniversary of the establishment of the Russian empire will be celebrated, a mani festo respecting the convocation of a council of state and the formation of an imperial council in a Senate of Boyars will be published. This mani festo will be preceded by one abolishing corporal punishment.

Qrays's Coma:oz.—The annual meeting in con nexion with the Queen's College, Harley-street, was held at the building yesterday afternoon ; the Bishop of London presided, and was supported by the Very Rev. Dean Trench, Rev. Professor PlormAre, Rev. Y'rederick D. Maurice, Rev. J. Jackson, Dr. Beroaya &c. It was stated that letters of apology had been received from the Bishops of Oxford. Lichfield, and Gloucester, Mr. Walter James, Mr. Bamford Hope, &c. The report stated that the col lege year which had just closed had been one of increased usefulness and prosperity. The balance-Meet for the year 1861 had showed for the third year in succession a consider able profit, sod the council had subsequently been able to invest the reserve fund thusfortned in government securities. The number of pupils who had attended the Faster term of 1862 bad been Zl9. The council looked forward with a confident hope to the years which lay before them. They aimed at nothing less than forming in their pupils the mind and character of a Christian lady. On the motion of the Rev. Thomas Jackson, somodad by the ltev. F. D. Maurice, a resolution adopting the report, and expressing satisfaction at the success of the college, Tem unanimously carried. The Rev. Dean of Westminster then moved a vote of thanks to the right rev. chairman, which was cordially agreed to. The Bishop, in replying, expressed the great interest he felt in the prosperity of the college. His business vs visitor was to interfere when some dispute arose, but as no complaint had been laid before him, his absence from the college might be regarded as evidence that its business was being satisfactorily con ducted. or • CLERGYMAN. —The Rev. Christopher Berns, rector of Thornily and Wickeeby, Lincolnshire, has resigned his two livings, on account of conscientious scruples in reference to the Liturgy, and will follow Mr. hil'Eaught, and other clergymen out of the nrioistry of the church of England. At a meeting held in London yesterday, where he made this announcement, he stated that be was ordained 30 years ago to those livings, but that on account of his scruples relative to subscriptioo, he bed now formally placed his resignation in the hands of the bishop. Be added that he could not help thinking that the church establishment was in danger. The dissenters were entering upon a Feat struggle for the separation of church and state, and if churchmen went into it with the church based upon the Prayer Book and not upon the Bible, it would undoubtedly be defeated, and he hoped with all his heart it might. When the church property was gone, the bishops and nervous clergy would rue the day when they did not accept the mild counsels of Lord Ebury, who had unsuccessfully struggled for liturgical reyirion. CRYSTAL PA LACE. —There were 25,760 visitors to Sydenhain doting the warm bright day which dawned epos us yesterday ; and of that number, which was quite lode pendent of the juvenile throng arrayed in the Handel orchestra, 19,601_ised on admission, and 6,169 watered with seism tickets.

Thee/ incentives to competition in the classes of painting, figure drawing, and modelling, were afforded by the kW Mr. Leigh Sotheby and by Mr. Frederick Batley.

Rayner, the extensive sowsmiset at Southampton, for supplying the large suburbs of Free nestle and Shirley with the I,ondon daily newspapers im mediately after they reach the above asied town in the , morning.
