IIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FORENSIC COACHMAN.—John Bibb, a private coach man, residing at 7, Reeve's-mews, Grosvenor-square, was charged with wilfully damaging a cab 2,077, he being at the time drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and carriage, to the danger of the public. The driver of the cab, Morris White, said he was driving along Coventry-street, about II the previous night, when the defendant, who was driving at the rate of nine miles an hour, came in collision with his cab with such force as to completely carry away the body of it. The damago was about £5, and the defendant was drunk at the time. The owner of the cab asked Mr. Beadon if he would not make out an order on the defendant's master for the damage ? Mr. Beadon said, had it been a cab that had run into the carriage he could have done so, but not when a carriage ran into a cab. He must go to the county court for the amount. The defendant (who seemed scarcely recovered from the effects of the drink he had imbibed), said, in deciding the case there were certain points to be well weighed. •It must be sees that, to have done what he was charged with, the force of concussion would have been very great. Now, the fact was, that there were a great many cabs sent out of a night to get in collisions, so that compensation might be got from persons of respectability and those who steadily con ducted themselves. There was, after the question of damage had been decided, the question as to whether he was drunk ; and he wished to instil into his worship's mind- Mr. Beadon said he (defendant) was one of those persons who, when they ran against a post, thought the post ran against them. He should fine him 405., or a month. The defendant, who seemed much annoyed at being cut short in his defence, and who conducted himself in a very confident way, was then removed. TRIS DAY'S MARKETS.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. About an average time-of-year supply of beasts, about one-third being foreigners, was on offer here to-day, in but middling condition. Owing to the prevailing hot weather, all breeds met a slow inquiry, at Monday's currency. We were tairly supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly at late rates. Lambs—the show of which was good—were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The veal trade was heavy ; nevertheless, no change took place in value. Pigs and milch cows were very dull, at almost nominal quotations. _ _ _ Per Blbs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. ti. d. s. d.

Shrewsbury Autumn...J.s FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE BATHING.—On Tues day evening, about eight o'clock, as a fine youth, about 18 years of age, named George May, was bathing in Barking; Creek with a nnmber of other persons, he was suddenly seized with cramp, and quickly sank to the bottom. Every exertion was made to rescue the body, but for more than a. quarter of an hour it remained in the water. When extri cated it was discovered that all signs of life had departed, but the body was laid upon the bank and th e usua l means adopted for the res toration of vitality in vain. Deceased was then conveyed to the dead house . , Poplar New Town. SINGULAR FATALITY.---It will be remembered that among the cabin passengers of the unfortunate Pomona there were a Mrs. Paxton, Master T. Paxton, and the Misses Harriet and Lizzie Paxton. These all perished in the Pomona, and their bodies were afterwards washed ashore, and, of course, interred respectably, a large amount of money having been found on the person of Mrs. Paxton. Mrs. Paxton was the wife of Capt. Paxton, of the Savannah ship Cooawattee, and she and her family were going en to New York to meet Captain Paxton ; but the morning that beheld the wreck of the Pomona and the fate of Mrs. Pax ton and her family ushered in the day on which Captain Paxton died. His ship was lying at Calcutta, and he died there the same day as his wife and family perished off this coast. Thus one entire family—the head of which was in India, the remainder in Ireland—died on the same day.— Wexford Paper.

IMPERIAL PARLIAME N T HO USE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. LASLETT took the oaths and his seat for Worcester shire, and Colonel Steward for Cardiff. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered and 'ordered to be read a third time : — Birmingham, Erdington, and Sutton Coldfield Railway (Western Line) ' • Isle' of Wi g ht RailwaY (Eastern Section) ; Llanrwst and Abergele Roads ; Nor wich and Spalding Railway ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway; South D ur h am and Lancashire Union Railway ; and Waveney Valley R a il way. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the continuance of church rates, against the Endowed Schools' Bill, and in favour of the abolition of the duty on paper, &c. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. DILLWYN moved the second reading of this bill, and said that the subject was so well understood in the house and throughout the country that it would be unnecessary to make any lengthened observations, and he would confine himself merely to his motion. .e Mr DU CANE moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Considering that the present Parliament was a new one, ho thought he was justified in stating his arguments against the mea sure now before the house. He ' considered that the bill was one of spoliation, and a direct attempt to destroy the State establishment of this country. It had been said that they might allow the bill to go into committee, and then graft on it such modifications as the majority of the house might approve. He objected to that course, because he was opposed to the principle of the bill, and ho was aware that any alteration affecting the vital principle would be fatal to the bill, and therefore would not receive the support of those hon. members who were in favour of the bill. (Hear, hear.) He contended that if the bill were to be passed into law, a state of thi ngs wou ld u l t i mately arise in which the maintenance of the fabric of the Church would be left dependent on the slender support of voluntary contributions. With regard to one of the arguments in favour of the bill, namely, that it was opposed to conscien tious feeling, the fact was that a very simple mode existed in the different parishes throughout the country for obtain ing exemption from the payment of this rate; and in many cases, without this church-rate, the fabric of the Church must necessarily fall to decay. The hon. member for Birmingham (Mr. Bright), in one of those statements with which he had been in the habit of entertaining his constituents during the last few months, said that only one-third of the country was in connection with the Church of England. It appeared, however, by the census of 1851, that more than one-half the church accommodation for those who attended places of worship was supplied by the Church of England. It appeared fur ther that 84 per cent. of the educational establishments of this country were in connection with the Church of Eng land, 74 per cent. of the children attending . these public schools belonged to that Church, and that $4 per cent. of the marriages within a given period were celebrated in the churches of the State Establishment. Having cited a me morial from the clergy of Birmingham, to show that the voluntary principle was inoperative to maint fin the fabric' of the Church, he concluded by an earnest appeal to the house to negative the further progress of this measure, or to so modify its provisions as to divest it of its dangerous and destructive provisions. Lord R. MONTAGUE seconded the amendment, as he believed the real object of the supporters of this bill was to sever the Church from the State. They openly professed that their ultimate object was to reduce the Church to the position of an ordinary sect. They maintained that the State had nothing to do with religion, and he warned this house that it must be prepared to concede a much larger question if they agreed to pass this measure. Mr. E. BAINES, as a Dissenter, disclaimed any hosti lity to the Church of England ministers, but he con tended that it was unjust and indecent to compel the Dissenters to pay an impost to which they conscien tiously objected. He argued also that the continuance of this impost was injurious to the best interests of the State Church. He referred to the West Riding of Yorkshire in illustration of his position, for in that extensive district, where church -rates were abolished, he had not heard of a single instance in which the fabric of a church was per mitted to fall into decay. He had heard statements from many clergymen of the Church of England that their posi tion was improved since the church-rate s were d one away with in their respective parishes. ' He called on the Church of England not to attempt to perpetuate an injustice, but to place self reliance on its own means and energies, and then it would flourish in pr , 'portion to the amount of the spiritual merit it possessed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the bill, which he con sidered a most violent method of dealing with property. He denied that there was any necessity for such a bill, because as the law stood a church-rate could be levied only by a majority of parishioners, so that its imposition could not be regarded as an injustice, being the act of the ma jority. He thought it would be more unjust to allow the fabric of churches to be dependent on voluntary contribu tions in those parishes where a church-rate was voluntarily conceded. In some cases a church-rate was opposed be cause the clergyman of the parish was unpopular, while in the same places that rate was freely granted when a minister was appointed who succeeded in rendering his teaching attractive. He alluded to the case of Coventry, in which a church-rate was cordially voted, and would it not, he asked, be a great injustice under the circumstances to do away with a church-rate there ? Mr. MELLOR denied the accuracy of the statement of the last speaker, to the effect that this rate was so popular in Coventry. Ho adverted to the situation of the churches in Nottingham, which he represented, and in Leicester, which were never in better order than at present, notwith standing that they were supported by voluntary contribu tions. The same was the case with regard to Liverpool and other large towns throughout the country. He called on those who had any apprehension as to the maintenance of the fabric of the Church to refer to the history of reli gion in England to shiny what the voluntary Forinciple had effected, and to place more reliance on the feeling of the landed and propertied classes in this country, who would not suffer the churches to become dilapidated. Looking to the origin of this impost, it appeared that it was levied on the parishioners for keeping in repair those churches which they frequented. That was at a period of intolerance, but when different sects were established, was it not most unjust to call on those who derived no benefit from the State Church to repair and decorate fabrics which they never used, while at the same time they were obliged to build as well as maintain their own religious edifices ? He denied that there was any analogy between , this rate and tithes, which were placed on a totally different basis. He concluded by supporting the second reading of the bill. Mr. PACKE said that as there was a committee sitting in the other house on this subject he thought there was an efficient reason' for not proceeding further with the present bill. There was no security for maintaining the fabric of the church if this rate were abolished ; and he alluded to a speech delivered by Lord John Russell in 1856 deprecating the passing of a measure like the present. He could not understand what spell there was which had induced the noble lord to alter his opinion, for there was no reason assigned for such an alteration. Mr. STANIL AND said that recently he had an oppor tunity of ascertaining the opinion of the clergy of Lincoln, which he believed coincided with that of the majority of the clergy, who would not be satisfied with any substitute for a church rate. There was one-third of the community at least who dissented from the Church, and therefore he `denied that the State establishment could be considered as a national church. In Boston, which he represented, the fabrics of the church were efficiently supported by volun tary contributions, and he believed there was Mae ground f o r supposing that in large towns the result would be dif ferent ; and it should be borne in mind that in rural dis tricts five-sevenths of the property belonged to members of the Church of England. M r . J. P. HENNESEY, as a Roman Catholic, opposed the bill, which he denounced as a direct attaok by the dis senters on the Church of England. He thought that Roman Catholics could not consistently support this bill, and those who voted for the Maynooth grant were bound to maintain church-rates, for though the details of the two were different, the principle involved was the same. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that no doubt in a great number of the town parishes churei-ratcs were not collected, but the case was different in rural pa - Ashes, and in any attempt to arrange the question relative to the rate, that difference should be considered. As the law at present stood there was no obligation on a vestry to levy this rate, and as the law was in an anomalous state, vatious attempts had been made to remedy the existing defect. The right hp. gentle man haying adverted to the different bills introduced on this subject, and some of the most prominent objections to any a lteration in the present system, contended that, if the £263,000 a-year, compulsory rate, levied on the population of England and Wales, were abolished, it would have little effect either on the maintenance or the continuation of the fabric of the Church in this country. He based his opi nions on the feelingof the country generally, and the revived taste for promoting church architecture which existed. He certainly saw some objections to the voluntary prin ciple ; but, on the whole, as he considered that in endea vouring to maintain this rate they were only continuing a fruitless struggle, he would vote for the second reading of this bill. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS said that the bill introduced by the late Secretary for the Home Department (Mr. Walpole) would have effected everything that was necessary to satisfy the conscientious scruples of Dissenters, but it was rejected by the Dissenters of that house, and by some of those hon. members who were members of the present Ministry, He thought the present bill was sot a bill to meet the case of tender consciences, but to subvert one of the fundamental principles of the existing constitu tion of the country. He maintained that it was most illo gical to argue that by changing the pres e n t system, and abolishingtheimpost of £630,000 for the maintenance of the fabric and the services of the Church, that the same result would follow. Lord FERMOY said that in doing away with this im post they would strengthen and not weaken the Church. (Hear, hear.) What was the case in Ireland ? No less than ten bishoprics were done away with in that country, as well as church-rates, and there was a considerable re duction in the revenues of the clergy. The instead result was that i n stead of its efficiency being impaired, there never was a period when that church stood so hi g h o r was so dee p l y rivetted in the affections of their congregations. Mr. H. DRUMMOND sa id that in the origin of Chris tianity a conscience was found to be a very troublesome possession ; but the conscience of Dissenters was very con venient. For that conscience he confessed he h a d no respect or deference. The Dissenters had been candid, and told them that this bill was an attack, a l'outrance, on the State Church, and he called on the supporters of that church to resist the attack. rord PALMERSTON said that he would vote for the second reading of this bill, though he had not hitherto voted for a bill of that description. (Laughter, and cries of "Oh, 0/1.7) He thought it was essential to the interests and honour of this country, and for the maintenance of religion that the church fabrics should be sustained, and if it had been possible to continue the present system he would have been p re p are d to adopt that course. (Hear, hear.) But when that system was repudiated not only by public opinion outside, but in Parliament, he did not think that ho should set himself up in oppdsition to that opinion. Ho was bound, therefore, to see how the object of main taining the fabric of the church in repair could be accomplished by means the least objectionable. Looking at the state of district churches in this country— which were capable of containing very large numbers, and suited to all the purposes of such edifices, were erected, it a ppeared to him that a provision might be made for the main tenance of parish ch urc h es i n th e sa me way. (Heart h ea r, and "No, no.) With regar d to the motives imputed to those who promoted this movement, he was sure, in many cases, Dissenters would con t r ib u t e t o the maintenance of the tate Churches voluntarily when they would n ot do s o on compulsion. He trusted that in committee some, pro vision would be made to meet the case that had arisen. Ife believed the Church waa too deeply rivetted in, the attachment Lord J. RUSSELL sa id h e wo uld vo t e f or th e secon d reading of the bill, an d state d t h at any change i n his pre sent views to those he had formerly expressed on this sub ject was the result of reflection, and the alteration that had taken place in his opinions with 'eference to the question. He considered that they were much more likely to main tain the Church in its efficiency—(hear, hear)—and in the affections of tho people by abolishing than retaining a compulsory impost for its support. (Hear.) The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading .

WOLVERHAMPTON Wednesday Evening.—The usual quarterly assembly of the ironmasters of this district was held in this town to-day. The attend ance was not numerous, and the 'business actually transacted was limited ; but the tone of the assembly was good, the comparatively cheerful feeling which prevailed being the consequence of the announce ment of peace between France and Austria, and the prospect thereby afforded of the iron trade assuming more activity than has marked it for the last three months. It is seldom that there is much iron sold at the Wolverhampton meeting, parties preferring to make their engagements to-morrow at Birming ham, but there was unquestionably more inqui r y 1; y consumers to-day than there has been of late for- nearly all descriptions of finished iron, and more confidence was evinced in the maintenance of pri ces as declared at the Stewponey a fortnight a There was a fair attendance of the London,o.Liver pool, and Bristol shipping firms . and, , although they are slow to enter into contracts.; there was a general concurrence of opinion that the downward progress of the trade has been arrested. The make of pig-iron hasbeen reduced by blow out furnaces. It is hoped that ‘, withthis tmovementanticipated will have the effect, in conjunction increased demand tor of manufactured , iron, of check ing the downward price pigs," which are now barely remuner a ti ve to the producer. At the great meeting of the trade in Birming ham on Thursday we shall be able to arrive at some more definite conclusion as to its condit ion but that there is more activity at this moment than W. observable a fortnight ago there can be no doubt whatever. This was factors and merchants' quarter-day. It was stated that accounts had be en punctually paid, and that th e manufacturing trades are improving. ot the people to •suffer from the abolition of this rate, and that she could suffer only from some demerits on the part of her ministers. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, ho agreed with these who thought the abolition of what was consi dered an injustice, even by some members of the Church itself, would be the means of strengthening that Church. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI, having commented on the alteration that had taken place in the opinions of the noble lord (Lord Palmerston), contended that before. any change was made in the present system the Government should be pre pared with a substitute for the impost which they proposed to abolish. THE -P242'6VIED-UP ...PEACE IN ITALZ. Nothing is said of any limitations attaching to the sovereignty of Venice ; nothing as to its having a separate administration under the sway of an Archduke. Francis Joseph simply retains his rights over thakportion of Italian territory, from which we are certainly at liberty to infer that Austria Iwill continue , to enjoy unfettered sovereignty east of the Mimi% and that, if she so determine, her rule within those limits will remain unchanged. But Venice is to form an integral part of an Italian " Confederation," which is to be established under the honorary tosspdency of the Pope. Here a wide margin is left conjecture. What is the " Con federation" to comprise ? Will it include the King dom of the TWQ Sicilies ? If the King of Naples or the Pope refuse to enter into the new arrange ments, what power will be employed to induce com pliance ? What wil: beedone with the Duchies ? Will Tuscany have to receive back again its Arch duke ? or, if the Tuscans should persist in regard ing thelli,ght of their late ruler as an abdication of his throne, will the arms of the French be lent to effect his restcration ? What will be done with the States of the Church ? Are they to be secularised, the Pope receiving the dignity of an honorary president as a recompense for a loss of authority ? What is meant by his bein the " honorary ' president P What will be theg functions of the Federal Power, and by what organic machinery will its actions find their way into the politics of Europe ? On all these points we are left for the present with only the faintest glimmer of light. We can only submit them as so many unsolved problems to the curiosity of our readers, and humbly await the further illu mination which it may please the two monarchs to vouchsafe in their own good time. Still, althaugh w e are not yet allowed to behold the minor action of the drama, we see enough of its great outlines to form a toler ably good guess at its probable denoue ment. Of, course, we have nothing to do with it. We hope the Italians will be satisfied with their • bargain, and, if so, all may go on well. There are certainly some peopl e in the world who will de nounce it as a down] ight swindle, but it may per haps be replied with some justice that the Emperor Napoleon was accepted on his own terms, and that the heavy price paid down i n F rench blood at Sol fain° exempts him from the obligation of being over nice in fulfilling ideal obligations. He cer tainly erred in publishing too fine a programme be forehand. In the communication made on the 3d of May hist to the Corps Legislatif, he told the world that the fate of Italy was reduced to this dilemma : —" Austria has pushed matters to such an extre mity, that her dominions must either extend to the Alps, or Italy must be free to the shores of the Adriatic." Shall we judge the present policy of the Emperor by his own words ?" Italy is not free to the shores of the Adriatic. He leaves one-half of Austrian Italy under the hateful rule from which he vowed to effect the emancipation of the whole. To - he candid, all honest men will have no difficulty in making up their minds as to the character of the treaty of Villafranca. It is an odious and infamous vagary of despotic power. The war has been con cluded with a precipitancy as offensive to good taste and as insulting to public opinion as the reck lessness with ;which it was begun.—Mandiester Examiner and Mites. THE NAVY ESTIMATES. The House of Commons is once more being re galed with the annual platitudes which fill up the discussion upon the navy estimates. These things for the most part go by rule. You can easily anti cipate what will be said upon any particular vote, and who will say it. The rigid economist, usually the lucky representative of a metropolitan borough, always coincides with the general prejudice in favour of a useful' fleet, but he does not commit himself as to details, except in pronouncing them too heavily charged. This time Mr. Williams com bines a horror of the cat-o'-nine tails with his pecuniary scruples, and as far as the power of a single individual to inflict corporal punishment is concerned he is undoubtedly right. Admiral Sir C. Napier lugs in the Baltic fleet; there is no point to be made, no grievance to be illustrated, without this Baltic fleet. It was, according to Sir C. Napier, England's naval effort of the last war, and it failed. But then we all know that the admiral who com manded joined the fleet after dinner. This Baltic fleet"is _to Sir C. Napier what England is to Mr. Bright. 3 These two great commanders take a special delight in vilifying a number of persons who have, in some measure, trusted them, aid be fore whom they once stood in the light of confiden tial advisers and guidas. But instead of exercising forbearance, patriotism, or any of the cheapest of virtues, they condemn and misrepresent the objects of their former trusteeship by uttering the most miserable complaints. Sir C. Napier's field is not so wide as Mr. Bright's, but the work is quite as dirty And quite as thoroughly executed. One's only consolation is, th a t the Baltic episode will never be repeated in any single particular. The routine discussion upon the naval estimates of the year has, however, been varied by one very important difference of opinion. It will be well remembered that two months ago the late Govern ment granted a bounty to persons who joined the fleet. This has turned out a singularly successful measure, and has contributed in an essential degree to the present efficiency of tha navy. Such libe rality was by no means without precedent, and was, moreover, hailed by the country as the best piece of "public expenditure" remembered for many a year. The present Government have just signa lised themselves by completing a wretched imita tion of their predecessors' successful original. They have granted a bounty to all the seamen of the fleet who are above 20 years. The sum will, in all probability, amount to £lOO,OOO, and will include nearly all the seamen in the service before the last bounty. This is a very reckless and inconvenient transaction, and we should be very much surprised if Parliament sanctions it. Sir John Pakington condemned the measure with all the authority of his own judgment and personal experience. It had been proposed to him, when he granted the origi nal bounty, that it should have retrospective ac tion ' • but he was firm enough to resi s t th e d eman d, and had sufficient sagacity to see that the evils which were promised from the partial grant would never happen.—Morning Herald. THE NATIONAL CALLER Y. The following is an official account of the pictures purchased since the 31st of March, 1858 : —A portrait of Jeanne d'Archel, by Antoni Moro, was, with the sanction of the Trustees, and of th• Treasury purchased from Mr. C. J.Nieuwenhuys in June, 1858. At a meeting of the Trustees, on the 19th of July, 1858, Si r C. E. Eastlake submitted a list of various pictures on the Continent, either already known to him, or which it appeared de sirable to inspect. He proposed to proceed to the Continent on the general understanding that the available funds might be employed in the purchase of pictures which he might consider eligible. The proposal was approved by the Trustees at the same meeting, and subsequently by Treasury letter, dated 29th July, 1858 The following pictures were purchased on the Continent accordingly :—A half-length portrait of a Brescian nobleman, by Moretto ; a small picture of St. Francis, by Fillip pino Lippi ; a picture of St. Dominick, ascribed t o - Marco Zoppo ; the upper portion of an alta”rpiece, representing a Pieta; the "Dead ,_,Crrhhreist, ; a bast other figures, by Marco Palmezzano with Madonna por trait of a lady by Battista Zelotti ; ei by Marco Basaiti; adoring the Sleeping Child," m s a ir da ch C a o r n l g es el E ia as no t !

L. Dyckmans, bequeathed by Miss J. Clarke, was placed in the gallery in March last, and an other, given by the late Mr. J. Kenyon, called ' Geraldine" (a half-length figure), by W. Boxall, A.R.A., is to be placed or hung up at the South Remington Museum. As soon as the now galleries at South Kensington are completed it is intended to place in the larger of those galleries a portion of the pictures now in Trafalgar-square, as a tempo rary arrangement, till the alterations proposed to be made in the present National Gal ler y, removal of the Royal Academy , can be carriedon the out. By this means it is hoped that sufficient space will be gained to hang the pictures in Trafalgar-square without undue crowding ; although it may not be possible, under the circumstances, to arrange them. quite Systematically with regard to schools. 14 were protected with pictures glass in the year 1858, making . a total number of 64 in Trafalgar -square. Four pictures were varnished du • ring the year. 5,13,766 persons visited Trafalgar-squarelast year, and 238,377 the p i ctures in Marlbo rough-house, now 'Nmoved to Kensington. The hi for a picture last year was £641 fora price given for a Marco Ba saiti (Florence), and £537 f or a Marco Palmezzano (Rome). The lowest was £2OO for an Antoni Moro, bought in London.
