LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 5. PARLIAMENTARY EPISODES. E business of the House of Commons seems to be resolving itself into a game of cross questions and crooked answers. The House, although in a dying state, is scarcely old enough to have fallen into a second childhood ; yet what other interpre tation can he placed upon the petulant puerilities with which members equally obscure and violent, who would never be seen or heard under ordinary circumstances, are permitted toiwaste the last hours of a condemned Assembly ? What sense of dignity, what self respect can tole rate an impertinence so grotesque as the notice of a question to be solemnly addressed by an " independent" member im the back Tory benches to the member for Athlone, as to whether or not that spirited gentleman professes himself a supporter of the leader of the Opposition and has "acted as such ?” The member for Athlone has no reason to thank his rivals on the oppo site side of the House for dragging him back into parliamentary and public notoriety after the recent crowning effort of his brief and brilliant career, of which it may be said by his constituents that nothing became him like the leaving it. The episodical encounter, however, with which the serious proceedings of last evenin; bei,an was one of more than a merely personal or pass. ing interest and importance, as the &operate jocu larity of the First Minister to m clearly tomtit ed. Whether Mr. Distuam felt particularly grateful to the member for Devizes for his excessive zeal in clearing the character of the Government from a charge inconveniently precise, since it was founded on the text of positive official declarations from ministerial lips, it is no concern of us to conjecture. Seldom have the PREMIER'S unsurpassable gifts of countename and tongue been more severely tested. We beg pardon for the comparison, but the right hon. gentleman's mode of answering Sir THOMAS 8A711,80X reminds us irresistibly of one of those clever "contortionists," as they are called in the language of th 3 boards, whose faces are like masks and whom) bodies have become, by much practice, independent of bones. Nor is the PREMIER alone in his glory. He has educated his colleagues so well that it may be said of them all that they Out en se faire en front qui no rougit jamas. Let the calm reader who is not the dupe of these tricks of face aad voice, be the judge between this no-Popery Government and a Protestant country. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to an East Worcestershire elector, who had asked him, ow the eve of the recent contest in that county, whether it was true that the present Government had proposed to endow the Roman Church in Ireland, or to charter a Roman Catholic University, paying its expenses out of the taxes of the country, wrote to say that the Govern ment had proposed to equalise the status of all com munions in Ireland by a " concurrent" or general en dowment of all, and to establish a Roman Catholic University of which certain professorial chairs and scholarships should be endowed out of the na tional funds. In support of this allegation Mr. GLA D STOWE quoted the e xpresa word s of the CIiiEF SECRE TARY to the LORD-LIEUTENANT, who, in his official statement of Irish policy had recommended that the ecclesiastical arrangements of Ireland should be readjusted on the principle of levelling up and creating, and not of depressing and destroying. The same principle of creation, as opposed to con fiscation, had been distinctly affirmed by Mr. DISRAELI last summer. in the spring of 1867 Lord DERBY had caused a letter to be written expressing his regret that the liegium Donum could not be increased in the' estimates of " this year." Now, how do the Pitzmize and the CNIZI , SIIICRZTAILY for IRELAND meet these explicit, these textual proofs ? Mr. DIS RAELI declines to be responsible for the letter of his former Chief, under whom he was serving when that letter was signed by Lord DERBY ; he explains away Lord MAYO'S vague and elastic phrases about establishing religious equality in Ireland by creating and level ling up and not by confiscation, as meaning nothing more than the raising of the status of the Roman Catholic clergy by allowing them to serve as gaol chaplains. Lord Mayo, who is certainly a most promising specimen of his preceptor's educational prowess, goer farther, and insists that all the Irish policy of the present Government, so far as eccle siastical arrangements were concerned, was simply based on the principle of the grant to Maynooth. As to the Catholic University, the most he had ever contemplated was the grant of " a few hundreds a year for the remuneration of " the few professors who would be necessary." - - The common sense and good faith of the public at large will pronounce upon these ministerial apolo gies. The Government is going to the country on a No-Popery cry, having tried and failed to conci liate the Irish Roman Catholics and Presbyterians by a new sort of ecclesiastical financing, by pro missory endowment notes and University accom modation bills, drawn by the FIRST Lono of the TREASURY and backed by the Cirr er SECRETARY to the LORD-LIEUTENANT. No doubt it is not very easy for honest men to detect and expose this eeclesias tical " kite flying." There may be no distinct and definite engagement on record to endow the Roman Catholic Church or a Roman Catholic University. Neither the time, nor the mode, nor the sum was settled. Tho negotiation had not proceeded so far when it was "blown upon," and repudiated. But who, out of the present administration, can pretend for a moment to doubt that the aim and object of all these ambiguous phrases of Mr. Dia- RAELI and Lord MAYO was to create an impression in the proper quarters of their desire and inten tion to place the Catholics and Protestants on a footing of equality, not indeed as " stipendiaries "of the State," creditors of a Budget of public worship (for that was formally denied), but as churches equally recognized by the State, and endowed out of the common national fund. The project has failed, and the Govern ment will mount the hustings to the cry of "No Popery ;" while, as Mr. GLAD-TONE most seasonably informed the House last night, the official journal of the Court of Rome is regretting that Mr. DIIRAELI . B enlightened, moderate, and cautious policy, has been thwarted by the rude interference of Mr. GLADSTONE and the Liberal party. TILE METROPOLITAN POLIeE. Wiles so experienced a London magistrate as Mr. Alaimo, in acknowledging the services and efficiency of the police, declares from the bench that, " however useful, in any question which con " cerns themselves they do not stick at stating " falsehoods, even on oath, and banding together "in each other's support," it is time to ask what is there to protect the public from its nominal protectors ? A gross cane had called forth these stinging re marks. Mr. BROUGHTON, of the Treasury, sum moned two policemen to separate some women who were fighting, and they had refused to inter fere until the latter had given up the conflict of their own accord. Mr. Ram:Galva - , who investi gated the matter solely on public grounds, wrote a letter to the Home-office next day, which was referred to the Police Com missioner, who in his turn brought it before the magistrate. The charge was corroborated by an independent witness and denied by the police, but Mr. ARNOLD decided that the latter had committed perjury. But for this he Kliould not have thought the neglect of duty called for heavy punishment, and as it was he only inflicted a flue of 50a. in the one case, and 20s. in the other. There were the usual alternatives of a month's and a fortnight's imprisonment, but these went for nothing as the money was immediately paid. We take it for granted that dismissal from the force will follow ; but even this does not meet the entire question. The man fined 50s. was a police sergeant, and it needs no great acquaintance with metropolitan arrangements to know that police-sergeants have in many cases almost un limited power over the fate of the people charged. There is an uneasy but deeply-rooted feeling abroad that our police have too much power over the liberties of the public ; and now that we are called upon to increase their numbers it is impossible that such a statement as Mr. AaitoLD's should fall idly to the ground. As a magistrate of long-stand ing he has had abundant and exceptional opportu nities fur estimating the character of the police, and he declares them ready to commit perjury to protect each other. What chance is a poor Lester monger or bask, t-woman likely to have against a power so unscrupulo... - as this, and how is the public to rest satisded with the masters it has created ? That " the police are always ready to " swear away a poor man's life " is a delusion firmly implanted in the minds of thousands of the most ignorant and prejudiced clauses ; and it be comes a serious matter when this is partly sup ported by a judicial statement from the bench. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1868. COMPULSORY 0011YE.RSION, IT is a good thing for Ireland when bar priests show themselves radically opposed to intemperance. Father Istartisw is a more practical patron saint than St. PATRICK. But the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel, Dr. Ls.►ar, appears to be pushing his advocacy of temperance beyond useful limits. According to the newspapers, during his recent visitation at Newport, county of Tipperary, he alluded to the subject in pointed terms, complaining of the conduct of those who had not kept their pledge not to buy or sell intoxi cating drinks on the Sabbath-day. He called upon those who had violated their promise to hold up their hands, and many bands were raised in the body of the chapel. The transgressors, who mani fested great penitence, were desired to meet in the evening at the house of the parish priest, and were warned that he was determined to deny Christian burial to any person who would sell intoxicating drink on the Sabbath-day. We have grave doubts whether the temperance purchased on these terms is of much value. The practice of self-restraint dignifies and elevates all men ; but to be frightened or coerced into abstain ing is simply substituting one form of degradation for another. Remove the threat and the abuse is resumed, take away the dread of heathen burial and the whisky-bottle re-asserts its thraldom. Let Dr. LIAM' be succeeded by a prelate who is less strict than himself, and the superstructure he is raising on a false basis will tumble ignominiously to the ground. We yield to no one either in our abhorrence of intemperance or in our appreciation of the evils arising from it ; but we are satisfied that men are not to be taught self-discipline and self-respect by priestly threats, any more than that they are to be made religious by Act of Parliament. THE London Review draws attention to the number of eccentric advertisements that have lately appeared in various London newspapers, and pronounces them to be the work of a gentle man well known in London society, on whom the " worst mantle of the late THEODORE 1100 a " appears to have fallen." The last of these " mistaken pleasantries," which ought to speak for itself to sensible people, but which appears to have entirely misled the Daily Telegraph of this morning, is as follows : P. T. &status's LAST IDES.—New York, May 15, 1868. After having lost two valuable Museum Collections by fire, I have taken such precautions as to prevent a similar catas trophe, and am earnestly engaged in getting together another comprehensive Collection of Curiosities in Nature and Art, to be opened in a Grand Museum in New York, Ist September next. As a Novel Feature in that Collection I propose to Exhibit the Hats worn by the most Distin guished Men, and Gloves worn by the most noted Ladies in the world, properly classified. This will, of course, include European Kings, Presidents, and otherßulers of both sexes, Statesmen of Renown, Military Heroes, Judges, and other celebrated Legal Gentlemen, Bishops, Car dinals, and celebrated Divined, Distinguished Poets, and other Authors, Professors of Renown in Science, and, in deed, Great Men and Women of every department of life.

T. BARNUM. In conformity with the above, Mr. Samuel Colville will be happy to receive contributions and com munications relating to the above addressed to No. 7, New Coventry-street, Leicester-square, W.C. How many persons will respond to this appeal, and send gloves or boots, or both, it is impossible to say. Judging by the believing comment of the contemporary referred to they may be numerous, and it is to save them inconvenience that we point out the origin of these pointless hoaxes.

A return was published this morning of the number of county and borough prisons in England Wales in which religious instruction is afforded to prisoners of dif ferent denominations, specifying them and the cost to each. The number of prisoners in each prison, and the denomina tions to which they belong, are also stated. The returns were sent In from 126 prisons and gaols, in the whole of which it appears that religious instruction in aooordance with the doctrines of the church of England is provided at the public expense. In the majority of these, Roman catholic prisoners are permitted to be visited by priests of the same persuasion, whose services are, however, for the moat part, rendered gratuitously. In only 13 cases are stipends allowed to the Roman catholic clergy; but at Spalding a sort of compromise seems to have been ef fected second-class railway fares being there allowed to the Roman catholic priest who travels from Boston. With respect to the metropolitan prisons, the return shows that the number of prisoner* in Newgate gaol on the 2nd of April was 161, of which number 120 were entered as belonging to the church of England, and 27 as Roman catholic'. The salary of the chaplain, who is of the established church, is 3001. per annum. In Coldbath Fields the number of prisoners at the same date was 1,643, of whom about 1,290 were of the church of England, and 329 Roman catholic.. Here there is a chaplain at 4001., and an assistant-chaplain at 3001. a year ; but no allow ance is made for any other kind of religious instruction. At the Clerltenwell Howie of Detention there were 196 persons professing to belong to the church of England and 75 Roman catholics, with only one (protestant) chap lain, at a salary of 230/. In the House of Correction at Westminster, the prisoners were classified as follows: — Protestants, 484 ; Roman catholics, 168. The chap lain is a protestant, and his salary is 4101. 12s. At Hol loway, the number of prisoner, professing the faith of the church of England Ia 279 ; and of Roman catholic., 50 ; and the chaplain of the former receives 3501. a year, with house, fuel, and light. This return was moved for by Mr. Maguire. The Duke of Wellington has most kindly granted the use of the Waterloo Gallery, at Apslerhouse, to the " Working Men's Clab and Institute Union," for a reading by the Rev. J. M.

He expresses the wish to see them re-established on the former footing of friendship. The Bey notifies his adhesion to the formation of a financial commission charged with 1 the settlement of reciprocal interests. SWEDEN. I STOCKHOLM, Juws 4. There has been a ministerial crisis here, and the cabinet has been reconstructed as follows :—Count Wachtmeister, the Swedish minister at Copen hagen, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Major-General Von Thulstrup, Councillor of State, Minister of Marine ; M. Adlercreutz, President of the Aulic Court of Justice, Minister of the Interior ; M. Berg, Councillor of Justice, Minister without a portfolio. Major-General Von Abelin, the Minister of War, and Baron Von Ugglas, Minister of Finance, have withdrawn their resignations. The report that a new postal treaty has been signed between Sweden and the North German Confederation is unfounded. OUR PARIS LETTER. (PROM ova OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THCREDAY EVENING. Although the leading semi-official journal the Constitutionncl announced this morning that the Emperor presided at a ministerial council yester day, it is quite certain that the news I sent of the council being countermanded in consequence of a alight indisposition of his Majesty was true. The Constitutionnel, as meaner authorities often do, mistook the programme for the fact. The Em peror on his return from Rouen had one of those rheumatic attacks to which he is subject, but which seldom last long. Dr. Nelaton and another physician were sent for by way of precaution to consult with the medical staff of the imperial household. To-day his Majesty is out of bed, and reported " quite well." The government has authorised a general meeting of the " Peace League" to take place in the Salle Her; on June 8, at half-past 2. There will, doubtless, be a very full attendance. The Tenps would fain hope that in permitting this meeting, which it might have prevented, the government's fundamental idea is to obtain public support in a peaceful course.

THE JAMAICA CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT.—ML Adderley, true to the promise he made last year to Mr. R. Mills, has introduced a bill to stop all further payments out of the Consolidated Fund to the West Indian clergy. Life interesta are, however, to be respected. Ultimately the country will save 20,3001. a year now paid to " divers bishops, archiemons, ministers, catechists, and school masters." A conservative government thinks that the colonists ought to pay their own clerp, and, while making such an ado about the disestablishment of the Irish church, disendowa the colonial church with perfect saap-frvid.—Ereplisk Indeprndent.
