IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Caithness Roads (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. The West Cork Railways Amalgamation Bill (amend ments) were read a third time and passed. SAVINGS BANK BILL. Earl GRANVILLE said to-morrow he should move the suspension of the standing orders with respect to the second reading - of bills, in order that his noble friend might be enabled to move the second reading of the Savings Bank Bill. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE asked the reason for such a proceeding. He thought the state of the house at that period of the session was such as to render a suspen sion of the standing order very unadvisable. Lord REDESDALE thought the motion of the noble earl opposite was not at all judicious, and was about to enter into the reasons why the Savings Bank Bill should not be proceeded with, when Earl GRANVILLE said it would not be desirable at that moment to enter into a discussion on the question, and to• morrow the noble lord could do so when the motion was made. Lord DESART said the bill had been struck out of the minutes for the present session, and a great many peers had left town understanding that the bill would not be brought forward. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the moving the second reading of the bill to-morrow was most unwise. He thought there was still time enough fully to discuss the measure if ' its second reading was postponed for a short time. He looked upon the motion of the noble earl with great surprise. Earl GRANVILLE said the bill was a very important one, and he felt it his duty to persevere in the course he had marked out, notwithstanding the remarks of the noble lord who had just resumed his seat. It was entirely owing to the noble lord that the house came to the unfortunate decision on Monday night, owing to his not having taken the trouble to make himself master of the object or with the facts of the bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY objected to proceeding • with the bill at this period of the session. lie looked upon it as one to enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer to dabble in the public funds. The Duke of ARGYLL urged his noble friend to per severe in his intention of moving a suspension of the ses sional order. The house had come to a decision in igno rance of its principals. _ _ Lord REDESDALE regarded it as a matter of great importance that they should not establish a precedent for departing from sessional orders that had been deliberately agreed to. The conversation then dropped. GUNPOWDER, &c., BILL. This bill passed through committee. LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRE. LAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved, as this bill was a matter of urgency, the sessional order should be suspended in order that it should be read a second time. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved that as this bill was one of urgency the sessional order might be suspended, in order that the bill might be proceeded with. The motion was agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. THE ACCIDENTAL POISONINGS AT LEWES. The Earl of HARRINGTON moved for a report of the coroner's inquest and Crown trial at Lewes of George Bull, a surgeon, tried for the manslaughter of Sarah Ann Bull, his mother, by administering an overdose of prussic acid when in a state of excitement and intoxication, and found guilty at the inquest, though above suspicion of bad inten tion, and lcquitted by the Assize Court. The noble lord entered at length into the proceedings at both investiga tions, and read certain portions of the evidence to show that George Bull was intoxicated when he administered the fatal dose. The LORD CHANCELLOR condemned the course pursued by the noble earl who had just addressed the house. The person had been regularly tried and acquitted by a jury of his countrymen, and it was most unjust that he should not have the advantage of the verdict, but be held up to the world as a man who had been guilty of manslaughter. He could have understood the noble lord if he had suggested any impro priety of conduct of the judge or jury in his bringing the matter before the house, but nothing of the kind was attempted. He thought Sir Alex. Cockburn, the presiding judge, was much better able to form an idea as to what were the proper questions to be put to the jury than the noble lord. The motion was put to the house and negatived without a division. LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT AMENDMENT. The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND (£10,000,000) BILL. This bill was read a second time. SPIRITS BILL. This bill was read a second time. PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SrE.ixER took the chair at a quarter-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Athenry and Ennis Junction Railway, and Viscount Lor ton's Estate. TIIE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. E. JAMES presented a petition, signed by 409 working men, in favour of opening the National Gallery on Sundays. THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY AND THE JUDGES. Col. FRENCH gave notice that, on going into commit tee of supply to-morrow at the day sitting, he would call the s qttention of the house to what had occurred between her Majesty's judges and the high sheriff of Guildford, and ask for the production of any correspondence in posses sion of the Government on this subject. STAMP DUTIES.(NO. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DEFENCE OF THE REALM BILL. This bill was read a third time and passel. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.—THE BRITISH MUSEUM. The house went into committee of supply. Mr. WALPOLE, in moving a vote of £80,850 to com plete the whole vote of £100,850 for the British Museum, said that this year there was an alteration in the form in which the estimate was presented, as all the charges connected with the institution were brought under one head. The expenses were reduced to £2,000 in some branches of the expenditure, and though there was an in crease in the item for building, on the whale there was a saving of £147 this year. This saving had been effected, notwithstanding that a collection of pictures the property of Lord Norclifte, and a collection of valuable MSS., be longing to the Duke of Lauderdale, as well as a mineralo gical collection, had been purchased. The right hon. gen tleman concluded by stating that a valuable collection of medals and coins had been presented to the institution dur ing the past year. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR. asked whether it was pro posed to make any alteration in regard to the hours of ad mission, which at present excluded professional men and the working classes. Mr. SPOONER objected to the vote, on the ground that the institution was of a local and not a national character. Mr. E. JAMES also complained of the hours of admis sion, and said that there had been a large diminution in the number of persons visiting the institution last year as compared with 1357, which he attributed to the inefficient arrangements for attracting visitors. Mr. WALPOLE said that, in 1857, there was an in crease in the average number of visitors to the British Museum in the May of that year in consequence of the library being then opened, which would account for the falling-off last year. It would be found that there was an increase in the number cf those who attended the institu tion since the new arrangements had been carried out, which was a very gratifying fact. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that this instituti on was nat i onal, and not local, as described , w t y li the ireciu hol te n ( rmber (Mr. Spooner.) At present those the reading -room could pursue their dstwo e ir'ie% with greater l uxury than any gentleman f ould i)rsenhel.BfmoN,vna all parts and they incl u d e d i n their number Mr. xiitTo.,rrts of the country.

H e d ein coated discussions of this characte r , when coimparisons in regard to salaries were instituted.b e _ tween the British Museum and different Government departments, wltich could lead to no benefit, as the particulars connected with the duties required' relatively werenot generally known, and no fair conclusion could be drawn as to the justice of theremuneration respec tively given. He would mention that there was no one officer in the British Museum who did not receive more than was promised to him. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir G. LEWIS stated that the appointments in the in stitution were not made by the executive, but were vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House. • The vote was agreed to. A vote of £4,300, for civil establishments at Bermuda, was agreed to. On the vote of £6,228 for ecclesiastical establishments in the British North American Colonies, Mr. HADFIELD objected to the vote on the ground that the colonies could support these establishments with out aid from :this country. Mr. C. FORTESCUE explained that the country could not in honour discontinue this vote, which belonged to what were called expiring votes, and were to terminate with the lives of the individuals who were benefited by the same. There was no intention on the part of the Government to continue the vote beyond the lives of these individuals. Mr. HADFIELD considered that Canada was wealthier than many parts of England and Ireland, and persisted in his objection to the :vote. He moved that the vote be re duced by £2,393, the amount granted for foreign mis sionaries. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the vote was agreed to. £1,600 was voted for the Indian Department in Canada. On the vote of £15,000 to complete the vote of £30,000 to defray the expenses of British Columbia, Mr. WILLIAMS asked for some information as to the revenue of the colony. Mr. FORTESCUE said that the revenue for the year 1859 was £50,000, and he trusted that ultimately the vote would be withdrawn from Parliament, owing to the pro sperity of the colony. After some conversation the vote.was agreed to. On the vote of £24,728 for the salaries of governors in the West Indies and certain other colonies, Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the time had arrived when those colonies should support their own governors and other officers, and moved that the vote be reduced by £3,500, the salary of the governor of Jamaica. Mr. CAVE defended the item, which was not only just but necessary, considering the duties which the official in question had to discharge, and Jamaica was not in the prosperous condition it was supposed. After some remarks from Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. FORTESCUE said that the islands of the West Indies were in a very anomalous condition at present, but he assured the hon. member that the vote would disappear from the estimates after some time. The vote was agreed to, as well as a vote of £lB,OOO to defray the salaries, &c., of the' stipendiary justices in the West Indian colonies and the Mauritius. Several other minor votes for the civil service of the colonies were also agreed to. The sitting was then suspended at 4 o'clock. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Mr. JAMES gave notice that he should next session move for leave to !wing in a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt where it appeared to have been eontracted without an intention of fraud. INCOME TAX. Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that he should next session call the attention of the house to the subject of the direct taxation of the country, with a view to a modification of the income tax. SUPPLY. The report of votes in supply was brought up and re ceived. THE KING OF 017 DE'S ALLOWANCE. On the motion that the house resolve itself into commit tee of supply! Mr. BAILIJIE said he wished to know what the sum which the Indian Government proposed to allow to the de posed King of Oude. After the manner in which that prince had been treated by the Indian Government, having been deprived not only of his territory, but his private pro perty—his carriages, clothes, jewels, and everything belong ing to him having been sold—it was proper that at least some allowance should be made to him, and he wished to know from his hon. friend what allowance it was proposed to make to him. Sir C. WOOD said that not having received notice of the question, he was not then in a position to give an answer. In reply to a question by Col. FRENCH, Mr. S. HERBERT said that the present pattern knap sack with stick was sealed on the 11th of May, 1857. It had been previously tried by regiments and depots at home. The stick was introduced on the recommendation of Lieutenant-General • Sir G. Wetherall, then Adjutant- General, the idea having been taken from a Swiss knap sack. The knapsack being an article of necessaries the property of the soldier, - the addition of the stick to the pack was made by degrees by the men at the recommenda tion of the Adjutant-General. The knapsacks were sup - plied by the Government to recruits only, and for this purpose contracts were entered into with certain tradesmen for the new pattern of 1857. RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY. In reply to Col. DUNNE, . . Mr. S. HERBERT said that the report of the commis sioners on recruiting for the army would be laid on the table •f the house, if possible, before the end of the present ses sion of Parliament, but if not, early next session. ments. After a debate, THE 6UN, "1i0'2 ,7 , FRIDAY EVENING, AVG-US!' IS GO, LAW AND EQUITY BILL. This bill passed through committee. • TITLES TO LAND (SCOTLAND) ACT (1858) AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL. This bill was recommitted for the insertion of amend- MAYNOOTH COLLEGE BILL. The Lords' amendments were read and agreed to. ATTORNEYS, SOLICITORS, PROCTORS, AND CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCERS BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered, and some addi tional clauses and amendments were inserted. SALE OF GAS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Progress in this bill Was resumed, and, Mr. CRAUFURD having agreed to expunge a proviso, and thus to convert the measure into a more suspension bill, it passed through committee. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. On the order for resuming the consideration of this bill, Sir G. BOWYER moved that the debate be adjourned until the Attorney-General and other learned gentlemen were present. The first clause had been introduced by a blunder; and if the debate were continued it would pro- bably last till six o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON said that the Aderney-General had been obliged to go away, but his learned friend had told him that he was astonished at the want of judgment which those showed who objected to the first clause. (Laughter.) After some discussion the house divided— For the adjournment 8 Against it Majority Captain STACKPOOL moved the adjournment of the house. Sir G. BOWYER, in secohding the motion, stated that he had told some of his friends that they might go home, in consequence of an admission of the Solicitor-General that it was too late to take the bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL denied that he had ever made such a statement. The hon. gentleman was under a complete delusion, perhaps owing to the lateness of the hour. (A laugh.) Mr. LAING observed that if the motion were carried he should not have another opportunity of stating that the Government proposed the house should sit on Saturday at 12 o'clock. For the adjournment Against it Majority .. —l3 Mr. HENNESSY then moved that the house be counted, and, there being only 27 members present, The house adjourned at 26 minutes.to 4 o'clock. THE ATTEMPTED RESCUE FROM THE AGAPEMON The following account of the attempt made by the Rev. Mr. Price to rescue his wife from the " Abode of Love," which we briefly reported in our impression of Wednesday last, is from the Western Counties _Herald : "The latest seceder from the Agapemone, the Rev. Lewis Price, is determined not to lose his wife and her fortune of £6,000 without a struggle, and in that resolve he will assuredly be supported by public opinion. Having freed himself froth the thraldom and delusions of Henry James Prince, the Welsh curate is using his best exertions to free his lady also. Mr. Price quitted the Abode of Love in the early part of this year, having been previously seperated from his wife by the Beloved's' directions some six weeks. In May last we recounted the fruitless efforts the husband had made to get possession of his spouse, and the fact that be fore a judge in chambers she had declared that she was not detained in the Charlinch residence against her inclination. Since that time Mr. Price seems to have quietly submitted to his deprivation, but the decision of the Vice Chancellor in the case of Nottidge v. Prince' has aroused him once more to exertion. It is no secret now that Price was a man of no property when Harriet Lancaster Nottidge was informed by Prince it was the will of God' she should take the Welshman for her husband, and that the £6,000 he acquired by his marriage has been transferred to the imposter who asserts that he is the Holy Ghost. Any proceeding Mr. Price may take for the recovery of his wife's fortune must be materially affected by her evidence, and to the ordinary motive of affection for his lady there is thus added the desirability of obtaining her aid and testimony in favour of a suit against the man she now regards as her spiritual — saviour. Former watchings outside the house and grounds, with a policeman within hail to prevent a breach of the peace, having proved unavailing, Mr. Price made a bold attempt to get possession of his wife on Fri. day last, with the help of three stout men, not offi cers of the law. On the night preceding the adven ture he slept at the Lamb Inn, adjoining the insti tution of which ke waq formerly an inmate. Accord ing to arrangement his three assistants arrived at Charlinch from Bridgwater in a fly, between four and five o'clock in the morning, their mission being to protect him from the fury of the Agapemonites. He forthwith scaled the gates, entered the grounds, and secreted hitsself near the conservatory, which he was aware Nrs. Price was accustomed to visit, his backers remai n i ng i n t h e roa d way rea d y to o b ey his call. Time wore on, an d noth i ng part i cular transpired till abut nine o'clock, when the watchers heard Mr. Price lay several times, ' I will have you Harriett.' Thii exclamation was followed by a piercing shriek if ' murder,' uttered by a female voice, and the trie at once jumped over the rails in ' front of the laundry, and over the second gate leadin g to the grounds of the Agapemone. Here they were met by tweety or thirty persons who stopped ' their further prcvess, insisted that they had no business on thosi premises,' and in reply to their assertions that they had business there because they had heard same one crying Murder,' ordefed road.them the lawn, apelled them to ret urn b ac k t o th e off, ih a e nd co y saw 'Mr. Price and M rs . P r i ce d own upon %rounded by some thirty or forty persons—men, w omen, and children. I n a f ew was forcibly ejected, and th e f our %nee away crest-fallen, th e i r enter prise having fail -ed.

The arch- Agapemonite, iince himself, was not present at the melee. The‘ can be little doubt that the dwel lers in the Abodi of Love had got scent of what was about to take P-43e. Information as to the waiting horse and fly, Ind the strange men sauntering about was probably conveyed to them, and mea sures at once tar n to defeat the project evidently on the point of king put in motion. Near half past six in the nbrning a dozen or more labourers and haymakers left the Agapemone, apparently with the intentib, o f pursuing their avocations in the fields of the farm. An hour later one of the carria Fes vitt two horses attached quitted the Aboas' and its errand must have been to bring back the labourers by another route, for when the Perhd for action arose all the labourers, who had been seen to leave, were in the grounds to driveout Mr. P r i ca an d hi s coa djut ors . That the design Vas discovered is also clear from the rapidity with which they mustered when Mrs. Price shrieked, fir they were out before the three men in the road j conld get half a-dozen yards, and are described ra having swarmed like bees in a second of time.' Mr. Price, though several times defeated; does nit seem to be a man easily daunted. We wish him mire success in his next essay. He is convinced that e he can release his wife from the influence of Prbce, he can shake her belief in the delusions she new credits. If she be made of the same stuff as h 4 deceased sister, Louisa Jane Not tidge, this wilt be a more difficult task than he imagines, for it will be remembered that the rela tives of that lady tried every means to disabuse her mind of the molstrous notion that Prince was God Almighty, and had eventually to place her in a lunatic asylum,for the two-fold purpose of dissi pating her mad belief in an impostor, and keeping her out of his hutches. They were unsuccessful. Whether Mr. Plice will be more fortunate remains to be proved. IA more resolute attempt to release Mrs. Price frog the Agapemone was to have been made on Mondly night or Tuesday morning; but it was ascertain d, after every arrangement had been made, and Mr. 'rice and his helpers were on their way to the seine of operations, that the lady had been removed lom the Agapemone. Whither she had been taken remains at present a mystery."

RECRUITING FOR. GARIBALDI. Mr. HENNESSY, in calling attention to this subject, said that the Government had declared their opinion with regard to enlistment for foreign service in a despatch which the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) addressed on the 7th of December last to Loll A. Loftus. In that despatch the noble lord desired Lord A. Foftus to ask these questions of the Austrian Government—whether the Austrian Govern ment were cognisant of the fact that enlistment was going on in the Austrian dominions for the Papal and Neapolitan armies; whether the Austrian Government considered such a proceeding to be legal or illegal ; and whether the Austrian Government had given their consent to such enlistment. He (Mr. Hennessy) now ventured to put a similar ques tion to her Majesty's Government. Within the last few days a letter appeared in the newspapers from Capt. Styles, an aide-de-camp to Gen. Garibaldi, the object of which was to induce young men, and especially rifle volunteers, as well as soldiers who might wish to gather laurels, to take up arms in the cause of Italian independence. The letter con tained a notification from Gen. Garibaldi himself, dated from the now famous Melazzo, to this effect :—" Capt. Edward Style 3 goes to England with my authority. His object is to render advice and guidance to those who may wish to come here to fight for the liberties of this country." He did not wish to say a word how far Capt. Styles had violated• the law, or how far those men who were associated with him had violated the Jaw. That was a question more properly for the law officers of the Crown. He would only say that the Act of 59th Geo. 111., the act bearing on this question, was one which he should at any time ask to have enforced. He would re mind the house that in the month of May last the Attor ney-General stated distinctly that any person in this coun try who enlisted in the service of a sovereign who was at amity with the Queen was guilty of a breach of the com mon law of England. He was anxious to know from the Government whether they were aware that such enlistment was now going on; also, whether they had given their con sent to such enlistment, and what was their opinion as to the great question of international law. He admitted that General Garibaldi had exhibited qualities of heroism and valour which entitled him to respect; but they knew that at this moment the whole foreign affairs of Europe were complicated by his movements, and that the two great powere, Austria and Prussia, were determined to act in con cert against what he (Mr. Hennessy) conceived to be an illegal proceeding. Sir J. SHELLEY said before the noble lord answered the questions of the hon. member he wished to remark that the hon. gentleman never said a word when volunteers were going from Ireland to join the papal army, which was a case just as applicable as the one he had brought forward. All he could wish was—which he said from the bottom of his heart—that the gallant fellows who were now going out to support Garibaldi would be better treated than those Irish men who had gone out to support the Pope. Lord PALMERSTON—In answer to the question of the hon. gentleman, I have to say that her Majesty's Govern ment have no knowledge of any enlisting going on in this country for the service of General Garibaldi, nor are any persons who are understood to be in her Majesty's service engaged in enlistment. As to any soldiers enlisting to serve with General Garibaldi, that would be an act of desertion, punishable by the military law of the country. The hon. member has put a case upon one or two grounds ; first, as bearing upon the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Now, as was stated by the hon. baronet (Sir J. Shelley), any persons going to Sicily to join General Garibaldi, are pre cisely in the same position as those Irishmen who went to serve the Papal Government. Tho hon. gentleman knows the difficulties of enforcing that act. It would be necessary to prove that the enlistment took place in this country. The possibility of obtaining any evidence to that effect was avoided by those who went to Rome by their de - daring that they went for the purpose of being employed on railway works, whereas unfortunately no railway works were being carried. The hon. member has put it on another ground, that, namely, of international law. The house will recollect that my hon. and learned friend the Attorney-General has shown that there is a difficulty in bringing the principle of international law to bear upon any particular act. All I can say is, that we know nothing of any enlistment going on in this country, and if we knew of any enlistment for any foreign State, or assumption of a State, we should feel it our duty to 'put the provisions of that act in force, and in doing that we should thereby bring those persons within the practical provisions of the act. (Hear.) _ Mr. KINNAIRD wished to know if any official informa tion had been received by the Government of the landing of Garibaldi on the shores of Calabria. Lord PALMERSTON—Nothing beyond the telegraphic reports. Mr. SCULLY. did not object to gentletaen going out to the Pope or to General Garibaldi. He thought what was aa tleo ter the Irish goose should be sauce for the English gattder. He hoped with the hon. member for Westminster (Sir J. Shelley) that those who went out to Gen. Garibaldi would be much better treated than those who went to ROG. With regard to the remarks of the noble lord (Lord ral- 7 : merston). all he would say was that he deprecated any in termeddling of this country in foreign affairs. But the noble lord must either know nothing at all of what was going on in this country with respect to Garibaldi, or he must wil fully shut his eyes to it. He (Mr. Scully) saw advertised in the newspapers of Saturday last a long list of subscrip tions of money sent to Garibaldi, and in that list the first name was Viscountess Palmerston—(a laugh)—the second was the Countess of Shaftesbury, and the third was Mrs. Gladstone. (Laughter.) NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND) GRANT. Mr. CARDWELL, in rising to move for a vote of £270,000, for the united national educational system of Ireland, said the vote showed an increase of about £21,000 over the vote of the preceding year, and without going too much into detail he might say that £17,000 of that sum was to provide improved provisions for local teachers in Ireland. He pointed out how much greater the results were which were obtained for the sum voted for education in Ireland, as compared with the much l arger sum vo t e d _ _ for England. There had been an increase in the number of schools, which was 88, and that of scholars 3,112 ; while the total number of children educated was 570,000. The right hon. gentleman then adverted at some length to the question raised by the advocates of separate instruction, especially dwelling on the opinion expressed by that section of the Established Church in Ireland which declined to participate in the system of national education, and by that body of the Roman Catholic Church which was represented in the memorial to the Irish Government praying for a separate system ; and he argued strongly in favour of the general plan. Mr. MAGUIRE called the attention of the house to the memorial addressed by the catholic archbishops and bishops of Ireland to her Majesty's Government on the necessity of substituting a separate or denominational system of educa tion for the existing system, to the answer given to that memorial on the part of the Government, and to the re joinder of the archbishops and bishops to that answer, and at length objected to and criticised the system of national education, showing by extracts from the books that the whole tendency of the instruction was towards Protestanism. Mr. V. SCULLY rose at half-past one o'clock to state that he intended to move, and should at the proper time move, that in the opinion of the house all funds provided by Parliament for public education in Ireland should be so administered as to banish all just suspicion of proselytism from the national system, and conciliate cordial co-opera otion from clergy and laity of all religious denominations. As the other moiety of the representation of the county of Cork, he could not endorse the opinion of Mr. Deasy, He spoke at some length, and having been interrupted, said that if due attention was not paid to him he should be obliged still further to extend his observations. He argued with great energy against the mixed system of education, which he contended produced religious rancours and animo sities; while to say it was a success in Ireland was an out rage on the understanding and experience of Irishmen. Mr. DEASY replied with some warmth to the charges brought by Mr. Maguire . against the Commissioners, and read the rules they laid down for instruction in mixed schools, contending that they had never in practice deviated from them. Referring to the memorial of the Roman Ca tholic prelates of Ireland, he maintained that they claimed nothing less than the entire and exclusive control and di rection of the education of the laity, and he asked whether the house or the public would accede to such a demand, which was sot admitted in Roman Catholic countries. No Government would ever accede to it, and Parliament could not do so without parting with its legitimate authority. As a Catholic, he differed from the views of those who desirdd the separate system contemplated by the Catholic prelates. He believed that it would be impossible to obtain the con sent of Parliament to the grant of public money for schools constructed upon such a system, or to obtain sites for schools from which Protestants were excluded. On the other hand Protestant schools would increase, and all re strictions upon proselytism would be removed. He sug gested other objections to the change, for which he insisted there was no reason. Not a single instance of proselytism had been alleged, and lie deprecated the change as injuri ous to the interests of Roman Catholics, as one to which the Roman Catholic laity were not favourable, and which* appeared in the unpopular shape of the authoritative de mand of an ecclesiastical synod. Mr. O'FERRALL complained first Mr. Deasy had ca lumniated the prelates of the Church to which he belonged, who had admitted that the State had a right to control the expenditure of the money granted by Parliament. He had, he said, been an ardent supporter of the National system at the beginning; but the changes made in it had altered its character and poisoned the boon of education. Mr. BRADY contended that the Roman Catholic popu lation of Ireland were not favourable to the National system. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he was surprised to hear the National system attacked by Irish members—a system which had had the happy effect of converting Ireland from one of the worst educated to one of the best edu cated countries in Europe. The result of adopting the pro posed change would be to substitute two or three bad schools instead of one good one, and to give an impulse to the mis chievous action of proselytism. Mr. HENNESSY observed that the National sys tem was opposed not only by the Irish Roman Catholics, but by the great majority of the Protestant bishops of Ire land. He defended the Roman Catholic bishops, who, he contended, had only asked for the English system. Some branches of education,—history, for example,—could not be taught under the existing mixed system. The separate system had been tried in Ireland with success. Lord FERMOY was glad that Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Deasy had spoken out, as it was important to the well-being of Ireland that there should be no mistake as to the views of the Government upon this subject. Although the Ro man Catholic hierarchy of Ireland were opposed to the Na • tional system, it was, he said, deceiving the house and the country to pretend that a majority of the Roman Catholic laity, of the middle and educated classes, were not in favour of the mixed system. If there were faults of detail in the system, the rational course was to correct them, not to sub vert the principle. In the exceptional state in which Ire land was, a change of the mixed system would range the population in two hostile camps. Mr. MONSELL confessed that the National system was a great blessing to Ireland ; but unless the system was brought back to what it was originally intended to be, it could not, in his opinion, be maintained. The State, with reference to Catholics, had not been perfectly honest ; prin ciples had been sacrificed to conciliate the Protestants. The O'DONOGHUE said the question was whether the children of the Catholics of Ireland were to be educated as they wished, or as the Government determined. Mr. SCULLY thought the original system had been de parted from. Lord PALMERSTON said,—l do not rise to enter into any arguments upon the question, or to add to the conclu sive reasonings of my right hon. friend the Attorney- General for Ireland. I think that his arguments ought to be conclusive to the mind of every Roman Catholic gentle man who wishes to see the children of Roman Catholics in Ireland efficiently educated. The hon, member has, I think, very unjustly charged my right hon. friend with vituperating the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops. Now, I am sure he very carefully guarded himself :from saying anything which could bear that construction. 4leexpressly said that ho felt for them all that veneraticitYand esteem which they merit, and he directed his rein - arks to those differences of opinion which exist even in Roman Catholic countries between the clergy and laity on the subject of education. But I did not rise to vindicate my right hon. friend. The noble lord the membeifor Marylebone, in the course of his observations, said that there ought to be no mistake as to the opinions and intentions of her Majesty's Government upon this question of mixed education—(hear, hear)—and the hon. member for Tipperary added that the matter would not rest here, but that there would be agita tion elsewhere for the purpose of defeating the system of mixed education. (Hear, hear.) I think it ought to be distinctly understood that her Majesty's Government at tach so much importance to this system of mixed education in Ireland, as contradistinguished from the denominational system in England, that they would not deem it their duty to propose any vote upon any other principle. (Cheers.) If education in Ireland is to be carried out mainly by the grant of public money by the State, I say that the Govern ment would not feel it consistent with their duty to pro pose a vote for any other than the mixed system. (Cheers.) Il is asked why should a different system be pursued in Ireland from that which is pursued in England ? (Hear, hear.) I think the difference in religious and social feel ings in the two countries shows that that is an idle ques tion, and that, in fact, it answers itself. (Hear, hear.) There is not the same conflict of religious opinion —there is not the same religious agitation is England which pre vails in Ireland, and in my opinion it is the duty of the Go vernment to soothe and mitigate those feelings. (Hear, hear.) I trust that this vote will now be allowed to be carried. I think it has been discussed sufficiently. Those who are most adverse to the present system do not propose to negative the vote, and I hope that the committee will now assent to it. (Cheers.) Colonel DICKSON said the speech of the noble lord was a very extraordinary one. The question was rather what system would be acceptable to the people of Ireland than what was acceptable to the noble lord. (Hear, hear.) The vote was then agreed to. SPIRIT DUTIES BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. This bill was read a second time. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) ACT (1858) AMENDMENT BILL. Oa the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. BLAKE moved that it be read a third time that day three months. The house divided : For the third reading Against it The bill was then passed. CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to. TRUSTEES, MORTGAGEES, &c., BTLL. On the motion of Nr. MA.LINs, the order for the second reading of this bill was discharged, and the measure wea then withdrawn. SUMMER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, Aug. 10. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) JACKSON BY NEXT FRIEND V. WILLIAMSON.— BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. The trial of this cause was ,resumed at 9 o'clock. Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge were flit:the plaintiff; Mr. Carter for the defence. Mr. Carter said, with reference to what occurred up to last night, he held in his hand an affidavit which he wished to bring under the notice of his lordship. He referred to the absence of a material witness for the defence, who was present awaiting to be called up to 2 o'clock on Wednesday, and al leged that plaintiff or her friends and advisers had employed some means of removing one of the de fendant's witnesses from the court, which he had been attending from day to day to give evidence. Some discussion took place, after which his lord ship ruled that he could not receive the affidavit, as no application was made upon it. It could, how ever, if that course was thought desirable, be made use of on another occasion. The learned counsel on both sides having ad dressed the jury, his lordship summed up, when the jury returned a vertlict for the plaintiff—damages XlOO. NORTHERN CIRCUIT-LIVERPOOL, Aug. 16. CROWN COURT. Mr. Baron Martin resumed the trial of prisoners n this court at nine o'clock. WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. Thomas Gallagher, apparently about 40 years of age, was charged with the wilful murder of his wife on the Bth June last. Mr. Aspinall appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended by counsel. Upon the prisoner being arraigned he said, " I did not know that I did it." The prisoner was a shoemaker, who formerly lived in Summer-street, in Liverpool, with his wife and family, but had re cently separated from his wife and gone to live over at Birkenhead, in Cheshire. On the Bth of June he came over to Liverpool, and at an early hour in the morning he called at a house in Silver-street, Cop peras-hill, where his daughter by a former wife, a girl about 16 years of age, lived, she at that time being confined to her house by ill-health. At that time the prisoner was in drink. Later in the day he by accident met his wife, and they were seen walking together towards the girl's house, and when at the door the prisoner was heard by a wit ness (Miss Deitrichen) to invite her in, but she re peatedly refused, but at last he caught hold of her shawl and pulled her up the steps into the lobby, and they then went into the parlour, where his daughter was lying in bed. Soon after some noise was heard in the parlour, the prisoner being very excited, and the daughter (who has since died from the effects of the fright and previous ill-health) ex claimed, "Be quiet ; don't make such a noise here," when he said to the deceased, " You will see what I will do for you." Soon after the daughter called out, " Oh, murder ! murder ! he has stabbed her ;" and upon the witness going into the room the prisoner was found standing over the deceased with a large knife in his hand stabbing the deceased in the breast and shoulders. Assistance was then ob tained, and the prisoner was secured until he was handed over to the police, and the deceased was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary, where she lin gered until the 6th inst., when she expired. The evidence being completed, his lordship briefly summed up the case, and the jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict of guilty of wilful murder. The prisoner, upon hearing the verdict, ex claimed b" My Lord, I hope you will have mercy upon me—be merciful to me. I was never in a gaol before, and I knew nothing that occurred until I was told of it next morning.' His Lordship then put on the black cap, and, in a most solemn and impressive manner, pronounced sentence of death in the usual form, The prisoner then said in an implm ing manner, " Oh, my lord, have mercy upon me !" The prisoner was then removed from the dock, evidently much overpowered with the sentence which had been passed upon him. . (Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) HARRISON V. AINLEY. This was an action to recover damages for a libel published by the defendant of the plaintiff, in which the plaintiff alleged that the defendent said of him as a schoolmaster that he spoke irreverently of the Bible, and taught the children under his care that it was full of lies. The defendant pleaded "Not Guilty," and a justification that the alleged libel was true. Mr. Overend, Q.C. and Mr. Cleasby appeared for the plaintiff ; an d Mr. Edwaid James, Q.C., and Mr. Leofric Temple for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff in May last was a schoolmaster at Messrs. Fielden's factery at Tod morden, and that he was a Unitarian. A Rev. Dr. Brindley in that month visited Todmorden to deliver a course of controversial lectures, to hear which the plaintiff and other Unitarians were in vited ; and after the lecture any person in the room was challenged to controvert the positions taken and the arguments of the rev. lecturer ; the plaintiff accepted that challenge, and in the discnssion which followed referred to and quoted from Griesbach's edition of the Greek Testament, as having excluded as a spurious interpolation a passage on which the lecturer had relied. The lecturer required to see the book ; and on examining the text, and finding the passage omitted, he got warm and insisted that it ought to be there, and denounced Griesbach's edi tion as a " filthy book." This led to the discussion assuming a warmer tone, and the plaintiff, net con sidering himself to have been fairly treated, as he had been termed an " infidel," and other unplea sant names, wrote an explanation to a local paper, which was replied to by the defendant, who is a grocer and a Methodist in Todmorden, under the signature of " One of th e A u di ence ," and this reply ridiculed the assumed " reverence" of the plaintiff for the Bible, and asserted that " he taught the children in his school that the Bible was full of lies." This was the libel complained of. The pub lication was proved, and the plaintiff was called, and positively denied that he had ever taught the children under his care that the Bible either con tained, or was full of, lies, or that he had ever en deavoured to inculcate any of his own personal views on the minds of any of the children. For the defendant several children were called. One of them, a little girl, 12 years of age, stated that the plaintiff had taught the children in her class that the Bible contained lies ; that the story about Lazarus and Dives was a lie—that the rich man could not call out from Hell to Heaven, as he could not be heard—it was a lie. On being- cross examined she said the plaintiff had sometimes taught them the word " hell" meant " the grave" in particular passages. Another child stated that the plaintiff had said that the passage in the 20th chapter of St. Matthew about the two blind men calling out to Jesus to give them sight was a lie, and also that the 12th chapter of Revelations was not to be believed ; it was full of lies. Several other children were called, who said they never heard the plaintiff use any such ex pressions in his teaching. The learned Counsel for the plaintiff, in reply, contended that the plaintiff had simply, as was his dutv, endeavoured to explain certain passages of the Bible aceording to the best received authorities, and had explained that in certain passages the word " hell" must not be taken literally as a place of torment; that it meant " the grave," and the learned counsel referred to several of the annota tions to the Oxford edition of the Bible in proof of this,• and this was so with regard to the passage re ferred to regarding Dives and Lazarus; and he contended that the reference to the blind men in the 20th chapter of St. Matthew had, in like man ner, been explained not to be correct, the other Evangelists mentioning the same facts as occur ring to one blind man. It was these explana tions which the children had misapprehended, and in the coarse language of the country they had interpreted that which the plaintiff had endeavoured to explain as an inaccuracy, and not to be relied on, to be telling them it was a lie. The learned Judge left the issue to the jury whether or not the plaintiff had made use of the language imputed to him as speaking irreverently of the Bible ; and if they thought that he had not, then they must say what damages they would give, bearing in mind that the plaintiff was a school master, whose character was his livelihood. If they thought that he had used the language, then of course their verdict must be for the defendant. The jury retired, and after an absence of upwards of an hour returned with a verdict for the plaintiff damages, one farthing. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLocEsTER, Aug. 15. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) James Hartland was charged' with feloniously assaulting and carnally abusing a little girl named Elizabeth Jant Gwinnell, on the 4th of June, 1860, at St. Owen's, in the city of Gloccster. Mr. W. H. Cooke and Mr. A. S. dill appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Gilltnore Evans defended. the prisoner. This case appeared to excite great interest in this city, owing in part to the position of the pri soner, and in part to the extraordinary c h arge which had b oen ma d e against him of carnally abusing two little girls named Elizabeth Jane Gwinnell and Sarah Bryant, on various occasions, • from June 4 last, till about three or four weeks afterwards, when the charge was made. The pH; soner was in a respectable position, being a married man with three children, and acting as foreman to Messrs. Adams and Co., corn merchants at .Gloces ter. Towards the end of June the little girl, E. I. iagigN= Gwinnell, who went to an infant school at Gloces ter, came home with a twopenny toy, which she had purchased in the city, and on her mother making inquiries as to where she had got it she said it was given to her by a man at the dock under circum stances which she minutely described, On exami nation her person was found to be in a bad state from inflammation, and • the other girl, Sarah Bryant, having made a similar statement to that made by the girl Gwinnell, the prisoner was taken into custody on the charge of feloniously abusing the two children. As both the children were under 10 years of age the question of consent did not arise. The general outline of the children's story was, that they were one day picking up some peas near the infant school, when the prisoner accosted them, and asked them if they liked peas ? He then took them to the warehouse of his master at the docks and gave them some beans. He also gave them a halfpenny, and told them to come again, which they ,did several times, and when there he took them across a plank to a cellar, where there were some mats, and was there guilty of the crime laid to his charge, with circumstances of filthy ob scenity which, in our experience, were never before described in a court of justice. He gave them money, and on the last occasion he gave the girl Gwinnell threepence, she said she bought a bottle of pop and the toy. This was found to be true, and the general description of the place as given by the girls was found to be accurate. Both the girls were I about eight years of age and of rather interesting appearance. On their cross-examination, however, they varied both from their own evidence given before the magistrates in June, and also contradicted one another to a considerable extent. It was also elicited that one of the mothers had a previous feel ing of hostility against the prisoner, and had made a threat that she would do for him. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Sergeant Pigott submitted that there was no case. Mr. Justice Hill then inquired of the jury whe• ther they thought it necessary to call upon the pri• soner for his defence. The jury, after some consideration, said they had made up their minds to find the prisoner not guilty, which they did accordingly. Mr. Justice Hill said he thought that was a very proper verdict, but at the same time he wished to express his opinion that, after the statements which had been made by the little girls, it was very proper and necessary that the case should be investigated. The prisoner was then discharged. POI= INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 16. MANSION-HOUSE.—Samuel Armsberg, a re spectable-looking young man, 19, a foreigner, living at 3, Princes-street, Finsbury, was charged with robbing his master of £l7 10s. The complainant, Edward Keil, a courier-bag maker, 26, Bush-lane, had a bank post bill for £lO, and also £7 in gold and 10s. in silver in a purse, which he kept in a private room of his house in a locked drawer, the key of which hung at the side of the mantel-shelf. The prisoner, who had been in his service two months, had occasional access to the room. The money was last seen all safe in the drawer by the complainant on Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock. The prisoner worked in a room un derneath, and the complainant in one immediately over that in which the money was. Between 4 and 5 o'clock he heard the prisoner come up stairs and enter the room, and when complainant shortly after wards went there to take his tea he perceived that the drawer was open and the money gone. Sus pecting the prisoner had taken it he went to his lodgings, where he found him, and charged him with the robbery. At first prisoner denied it, but afterwards admitted having taken the money. He went with the complainant, at his request, to the place of business in Bush-lane, and on the way of fered to give complainant the money, but he refused to take it, and afterwards gave him into custody. At the police station he said the money was at his lodgings ; and an officer who went there found 9s 4d. on the top of a picture-frame in his bed room, and £l7 under some old carpets in another part of the house. The complainant had received the £l7 10s. in question from the prisoner's father in Ger many only the day previous, in payment for some goods supplied to him, and the prisoner knew that he had received it. The prisoner said what his master had stated was all true, and he was guilty. Yielding to the temp tation of a moment he had been induced to take the money, and this was the first time he had commit tPd a crime. A respectable-looking man stood forward and stated that the prisoner had lodged in his house since the early part of January last, and had uni formly conducted himself with the greatest pro priety. He had had during that time the range of his house, and no single thing had been missed. • The prisoner held down his head and cried very much as his landlord volunteered this character of him, and, on the question being put to him, he elected to be sentenced by the court instead of being sent for trial. The Lord Mayor said he would take time to con sider what sentence he should pass upon him. John Rogers, a cigar -maker, was charged with an aggravated assault upon his wife. The wife, though she gave prisoner into custody, did not attend to' state the charge; but a young woman, a stranger to both of them, who happened to witness the assault, came voluntarily forward to speak to it. She said she was in Bishopsgate-street on Monday night, and hearing a cry of " Murder" and " Police," she ran to the spot, when she saw the prisoner dragging a woman along by the hair of her head. A gentleman who saw the assault broke an umbrella over the prisoner's head ; and a policeman who came had the greatest difficulty in forcing him to release his hold of the woman. At her request the witness went with her to the police station, when she gave the prisoner in charge. There she said she was his wife, and they had been married some years, but that she could not live with him by reason of his ill usage, and had left him four or five times. Her face was very much swollen, and a great deal of blood was upon the front of her dress. • The prisoner said tile blood had flowed from his own face, from a wound which his wife inflicted with a large door key. Three weeks ago she sold everything he had and left the house, and he had not since seen her until Monday night, when he met her in Bishopsgate-street, and taunted her with her ill-hehaviour, and they had a quarrel. The Lord Mayor said as the prisoner's wife was not in attendance, he should discharge him. WESTMINSTER.—.John Grant, a prize-fighter, and Frederick Coney, a brushmaker, were charged with riotous conduct at Cremorne. Constable Potter said between 7 and 8 in the evening he was called by Mr. Keeley, one of the money-takers, and found the defendants, who were drunk, endeavouring to force their way through the turnstile. The money-taker refused to allow them to enter, but they insisted upon having admittance or preventing anybody else enteriug. Upwards of twenty persons were waiting to pass through the turnstile, and after some trouble w.t ness succeeded in removing the defendants, but they shortly after again returned to the place, and conducted themselves very disgracefully. The steamer had just landed a number of ladies and gentlemen and children who were about to enter the gardens, when defendants, at the top of their voices, called them thieves, and other epithets, and called out, " Mind your pockets." Some ladies alarmed went away, and others stood on one side, waiting till they could get into the gardens. Witness then procured assistance and conveyed defendants to the station. Mr. Paynter—You must pay ss. each. One of the defendants—We have not got any money. Mr. Paynter —Then you are committed for seven days. 141ARLB . OROUGH-STREET.--Edward Byrne, 9, Tichborne-street, described as a ladies' dress maker, was re-examined on the charge of long-con tinued ill-treatment to Hannah James, his young servant g;rl, and for an assault on Sunday, the sth inst. The court was much crowded, and Viscount Raynham, M.P., as on the former occasion and the previous application, occupied a seat at the magis trate's table. Mr. Edward Lewis, as before, attended for the defence, and at his request the witnesses (there were several present) were ordered to withdraw. Mr. Tyrwhitt having asked if the girl, as com plainant, was present, a young poorly clad girl, who, though stated by a witness to be 19, certainly did not look more than 13, came forward and was sworn. Previous to her evidence, Mr. Levis sulaail e , (l that the summons being for an assa ult that was the only affair the court ought to go into, above, an The girl gave her name as on tbe. o to P and h er Ula.he! pre. sent address Praderyn, near Merthyr Tya morganshire, with her parents. She , stated th at Christma s . day, entered the ' defendant's' service las. uhristmas day, and that,Mr. and i s. B yr ne beat her every day. Mr. Lewis—What , d he do on the sth. Complainant—H? truck me with the handle of the sweeping broo, Mr. Tyrwhitt Complainant my clothes, an , in his room a used to find tell a lie," back of _low was it ? Mrs. Byrne found a live thing on /old Mr. Byrne, w,l I. o spoke to me illt it. I told him my mother never ach things on me, and he said " Don't nd struck me with a handle over the hand, which hurt Inc Tery much, and it swelled up. I screamed out, and Mrs. Warren came up to me—•-if she hadn't, he would have beaten me more. The next morninc , I was sent home, and did't know I was to go till then. He took m e t o the station, and sent me off. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you know :the girl Ellen Wing ? Complainant—Yes, sir. She is Mr. Byrne's work-girl. Mr:Tyrwhitt—Have you had any quarrel with her ? Complainant—No, sir; bat she calls me bad names. In reply to the magistrate, complainant said her father had brought her a frock, but she hadn't many things, and what she hads he washed herself. She was 17 last birthday. The witnesses as to previous ill-treatment and beatings were not ea:led, Mr. Lewis, immediately on the conclusion of the complainant's evidence, and some little cross-examination, observing that he did not think he need make any observations on the case as it stood. Mr .Tyrwhitt said it had very properly been brought before him. He had adjourned the case for the purpose of hearing the girl's own version of it, and the feelings of her friends and relatives on the subject, if not sooner satisfactorily settled. The girl now attended, and, he must say, had given her evidence in the simple and unvarnished style of the poor of the principality. As to the assault itself, ho could understand a man's getting in a passion, which we were• all more or less liable to do, and his striking a blow, but in this he was by no means justified, and his doing so was likely to ex pose him to remark out of doors. The girl evidently was of the poorer class, and did not appear in age more than 13. It was fortunate for the defendant that the case had come out so mildly. If the girl was dirty it was to be traced to her poverty and her want of proper clothing. For the assault of the sth August he should fine the defendant 10s. or fourteen days in the House of Correction. COUNTRY MARKETS. MANCHESTER—Ana, 16.
