COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) His Honour was the commissioner for the day, but did not sit in court, the ordinary business being transacted be fore Mr. Hazlett, the registrar, but the cases were of no general interest. IN RE COTTEN. This bankrupt was described as of Stowmarket, plumber, and came up for his last examination on accounts prepared by Mr. March, Basinghall -street. The accounts commence January, 1858, and end Feb., 1859, and show—Debtor to creditors, unsecured, £854; to ditto holding security, £2,024; profits, £264. Creditor—by gcod debts, £52 ; doubtful, £109; property in the hands of creditors, £2,257; trade expenses, £534; house ditto, £175. Mr. Lucas was for the assignees ; Mr. Lawrance for the bankrupt, who passed without opposition. ,SHERIFFS' COURT. LANDLORD AND TENANT.-BARBER V. PARKS. This was an action to recover £l5 for half a year's rent of premises held by defendant. 'Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said he might as well say at once that there was an agreement between the parties, but it unfortunately was not stamped. Perhaps the difficulty could be got over if proof were given of use and occupation. Mr. Scott, of Skinner-street, said that could not be done. His Honour—No. I have myself tried such cases half a dozentimes. It is a great pity that, for half-a-crown, people should neglect to have their agreements stamped. You must either pay the penalty or lase your £l5. Mr. Buchanan—We cannot do that. Plaintiff—When I signed the agreement I was in igno rance of the law. Mr. Scott—ln justice to Mr. Buchanan I may say that he mentioned the subject of the agreement to mews soon as he came into court. I have to ask for costs. Granted and plaintiff nonsuited. SILVERLOCK V. CRIPPS.--PRINTERS' COPY. This was a summons to recover £1 2s. 6d. for printing some bills. ' Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, objected to plaintiff's claim, as that person had inserted " Cripps and Co." instead of Cripps. Plaintiff's witness said he had defendant's own order to put in Cripps and Co. His Honour—Where is the copy ? Plaintiff—l have not got it with me, but I daresay I can find it. His Honour—The production of the copy will save a great deal of time, and I will adjourn the case, defendant to have costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7IIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. CARRIAGE ROBBERY.—A CONFIRMED YOUNG THIEF. Charles Cox, 15, well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing from a brougham, at 17, Curzon-street, a lady's travelling-bag containing a gold locket, gold pencil, and other articles, of the value of VO, the property of Mr. W. A. Tollemache, of 3, Eaton-place West. Wm. Williams, of 7, Griffin-court, Mayfair, said he was going down Curzon-street on the previous evening when he saw the prisoner get into the brougham, which was standing at the door of No. 17, and take out the bag and hand it to one of two others who were waiting for him. He immediately knocked the prisoner down and ran after the one with the bag, who, just as he got up to him, dropped it as his feet. He then picked up the bag and took it back, and gave it to the coachman in the presence of the gentleman belonging to the carriage. Mr. William Augustus Tollemache, of 3, Eaton-place West, said he was walking up Curzon-street when he saw his brougham standing, as described, at the door of No. 17, and the last witness brought him his wife's bag. It con tained various articles, amongst them a gold locket and pencil case worth £lO. Mr. Beadon said the prisoner was one of the most noto rious thieves they had got. He had been convicted over and over again, and he must now go for trial. He would, however, remand him fora week. THAMES.

The applicant said she was living at No. 58, Mary Ann-street, St. George's - in-the-East, and was married on the 11th of March, 1838, and her husband deserted her, after he had much ill-used her, on the 6th of August, 1840. Mr. Selfe—That is a long separation. Have you not seen him since Mrs. Groves—l have not, sir. Mr. SeHe—Take your order. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills *ere read a second time : —Blackburn and Preston Road and Bridge; Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway; Metro politan Railway Deviations ' • Swanage Tramway and Pier; Nuneaton and Hinckley Railway. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Lands Improvement Company Amendment, and Scottish Central Railway. EDUCATION. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition on the subject of education, and took occasion to , correct some mistakes that had occurred in the course of his speech last night. The noble and learned lord proceeded in complimentary terms to comment on the conduct of the Emperor of Russia in the endeavours he was making to emancipate and educate the serfs in his empire. The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition praying tie house not to sanction the bill for the abolition of church rates. SALE OF GAS BILL. • Lord RE DESDALE moved the third reading of this bill, the objects of which had been fully explained. The noble lord said he had made certain amendments in the bill —one was an extension of the time within which inspectors were to be appointed. The bill originally enacted that the inspectors should be appointed within three months after the passing of the act, but he had thought it expedient to alter the time to nine months. Another alte ration was that it was originally intended to have all meters stamped within a year after the bill became law, but he now thought it would be better to extend the time to 10 years, after which it would become compulsory for all meters to bear the stamp. Of course if parties were satisfied with the performance of the meters there would be no compul sion to send them to be marked as correct. He also pro posed that as Liverpool was very well governed under a local act to exempt it to a certain extent from the provisions of the bill. Lord KINNAI R.D thought there was great necessity for some improvement with respect to the regulation of gas meters. He could not agree in the propriety of paying the inspectors created under the act from the local rates. He hoped that, as the bill would be very strenuously opposed in the other house, he would not insist on pressing the third reading this session ; if he did so, he should feel it his duty to move as an amendment that it be read a third time this day three months. After a short discussion, in which Lord Donoughmore, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Stanley of Alderley took part, Lard REDESDALE defended the bill, and thought the wisest course to pursue was to read the bill a third time in order that it might go down to the Commons, where it would receive full investigation. Lord EBURY trusted his noble friend would not press his amendment. Lord KINNAIRD said, as it appeared to be the wish of the house that the bill should pass, in order that it might go down to the other house, he would withdraw his amend ment. The bill was then read a third time and passed. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock PRIVATE BUSINESS On the motion for the consideration of the Lords' amend ments to the Llangollen Railway Bill, Mr. WHALLEY said that he had introduced bills into Parliament with reference to this railway in order to pro tect his interest, the undertaking propoOng to traverse a portion of his park. However, he deferred with submis sion to the wishes of the house, but as an important altera tion had been introduced in the Lords, by which powers were given to the company to make a deviation which was not necessary for the purposes of the railway, he con cluded by moving an addition to the clause to which he alluded, which was to the effect that the company should not be empowered to take more land than was originally agreed to except by the consent of the Board of Trade. After some discussion the house divided. For the addition to the clause 69 Against Majority _79 The Lords' amendments were then considered and agreed to, and the bill was read a third time. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Eastbourne Water; Midlarld Great Western Railway of Ireland (Sligo Extension); and Tottenham and Edmonton Gas. LONDON (CITY) GAS BILL, On the motion for the 'consideration of this bill, Colonel FRENCH moved that the London (City) Gas Bill be re-committed to another committee, to be appointed by the Committee of Selection, and that the committee have leave to sit and proceed on Friday. He took objec tion to this bill because the company had contravened the Act of Parliament of 1847, by which gas companies were restricted to a dividend of 10 per cent., and any surplus pro fit was to be applied to the reduction of the price of gas to consumers. The company had also, in violation of the act of Parliament, raised their capital from £200,000 to £300,000, and taken additional land. Mr. BARROW said he was chairman of the committee before whom this bill was investigated, and he defended their conduct. It was considered by the members that some irrelevant matter was brought forward with reference to the financial part of the subject when they were hearing evidence in regard to the sanitary point involved. They decided that thy would not then deal with the former part of the question, as there were numerous witnesses waiting to be examined relative to the latter. and counsel then do cided on withdrawing the petition. In adopting that course, he thought they acted wisely, for there was an over whelming mass of evidence adduced to show that, in a sanitary point of view, there were no objections to the works of the 'company being carried on without alteration of their site. That evidence was comprised of persons best qualified to give correct information, mainly medical officers resident, the police and the Poor Law Board. From their united testimony it appeared that the means adopted by the company purified the refuse that accumu lated from the manufacture of gas. He believed if they rejected the bill they would be doing an injury, not only to the company, but to the public. Mr. MASSEY was strongly opposed to the motion for recommitting the bill. Some further discussion ensued, in which Mr. Roebuck, Colonel North, Mr. Williams, and other hon. members took part. Sir G. C. LEWIS considered that unless some extra ordinary grounds were shown they ought not to accede to a motion like the present, and he did not think any such grounds existed with regard to the committee before whom this bill was tried. At the same time, he had considerable doubt whether the committee had arrived at a correct con clusion. After a few words from Mr. E. JAMES in support of the committee, The amendment was negatived without a division. The bill was then considered, and ordered for third reading. PNEUMATIC DESPATCH BILL. Mr. C. FORSTER moved that Standing Order 203 be suspended in the case of the Pneumatic Despatch Company Bill, and that the bill be read a second time to-morrow.— Agreed to. TACUMSHIN EMBANKMENT BILL. On the motion of Mr. WHALLEY the following was agreed to :—That Standing Order 204 be suspended in the case of the Tacumshin Embankment Bill, and that it be an instruction to the committee of selection to appoint the committee on the bill to sit and proceed on Friday. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir J. TRELAWNY said he hoped the hon. member (Mr. Nowdegate) would not move his amendment which was on the paper until after the house went into committee, as it would be adopting an unfair course with reference.to the bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that he could not accede to the wishes of the hon. baronet, as he would not be able to move his amendment in committee. He would, however, vary the terms of his motion, as it could not, from the hour of the day, be fully discussed. The hon. member then moved the following amendment :—" That this house will to-morrow resolve itself into a committee, to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of church-rates, thence forth to be abolished, a charge on all hereditaments, in respect of the occupancy of which church-rates have besn paid within the last seven years ; such charge to be levied wit k h the county rate at a uniform rate of poundage, the occupier being in all cases entitled to deduct from his rent the amount of the charge levied on his occupation, which shall be paid to the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty, who shall be empowered to receive and administer the same for the purposes of church-rates ; and further, to consider the propriety of constituting the incumbent and church wardens of every parish or district a corporation, having a right to claim from the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty in each year a sum equal to one year's charge on such parish or district, which they shall be empowered to re ceive and to administer, with the concurrence of the vestry, and under due supervision, as well as to receive and administer any monies subscribed, or any benefactions given, for the purposes of church-rates, or in commutation of su ch char ge . " He considered that in a number of cases the voluntary prin ciple entirely failed, and they should not impose an addi tional burden on it by withdrawing an ancient and neces sary impost. He predicted that if the present bill were passed additional encroahments.would be made on the insti tutions of the country and great constitutional alterations effected. Mr. DODSON hoped that the house would not accede to the motion of the hon. member who had just addressed the house. If they wanted to maintain an organised sys tem for the preservation of the fabric of the church they should leave it to the parishioners themselves whether they would or would not pay the rate. Lord HEN LEY said the proposal made by the hon. member for North Warwickshire of imposing a permanent charge on the occupier was more objectionable than even the present system. He believed, from the state of publio feeling and the votes of the house, that they might, in re ference to this measure, exclaim with the reformers of 1832, "the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill." (Cheers.) Sir J. TRELAWNY replied. He repeated the state ment ho frequently made, that his object in bringing for ward the bill was to put an end to the agitation that pre vailed in regard to church-rates, a result which all must admit would be most desirable. He thought that any per son acquainted with human nature must feel satisfied that if the church possessed the affections of the people it would not suffer from the operation of the voluntary principle. Sir M. FARQUHAR would not support any measure for the abolition of church-rates which did not provide a substitute. As there was a committee of the other house at present engaged in investigating this subject, he thought it would be better to postpone the further consideration of the question until they were in possession of the evidence which had been taken before that committee. He sug gested therefore that the hon. baronet should postpone his bill till next session. (Cries of Oh, oh.) The house then divided, and the numbers were — For the metion for going into committee 191 Against 0 ••••••• 99 Majority ........... --92 The house then went into committee. Lord J. MANNERS appealed to the hon. baron et ( Sir H. Willoughby) no t t o proceed further with his bill. There were seven members of the Government engaged in the inquiry before the House of Lords, and he thought it would not be acting with courtesy towards the Government if they pressed forward the measure before the conclusion of the labours of the committee. It was impossible to pass it during the short remaining term of the session, as the number of amendments was too great to afford them a rea sonable expectation of doing so, and therefore it was only a waste of time to prolong discussion like the present, which would lead to no practical result for the present. After a few words from Mr. VANSITTART, Sir .1. TRELAWNY said he was determined to pro ceed with the bill, and not discontinue his exertions until he accomplished his object. In clause 1, Mr. CROSS moved the following : —After "levied," leave out "in any parish in. England or Wales," and insert "re spectively in the following cases in any parish in England or Wales. Ist. No church-rate shall be made or levied in any parish in which no church-rate has been made or levied during the seven years next previous to the passing of this act. 2d. No church rate shall be levied upon any person who shall deliver to the churchwardens, without one week after the rate shall have been demanded of such person, a decla ration under his hand that he bona fide objects upon con scientious grounds to the payment of church rates : Pro, vided always that no person so exempted from the payment of any church rate shall be entitled to vote or act in vestry in the parish in reference to the making, levying, or application of any church rate, or the application of any money applicable to the like purposes, unless after signing such declaration he shall have paid a church rate subsequently made in such parish. 3d. No church-rate shall be made for other than the fol lowing purposes, that is to say-1. Repairing and main taining the fabric of the parish church ; 2. Repairing, fenc ing, and maintaining the churchyard or burial ground of the parish church; 3, Providing what is necessary for the decent celebration of Divine service and the offices of the parish church. At ten minutes to four o'clock the discussion was inter rupted, and the house resumed. UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time, and passed. The house then adjourned at four till six o'clock. At a quarter past six, there not being 40 members pre. sent, the house adjourned until to-morrow. GOODWOOD RACES.-(THIS DAY.)

LORD LYNDHURST AND MR. BRIGHT—THE NATIONAL 'DEFENCES. Lord LYNDHURST—I wish to ask the noble duke op posite (the Duke of Somerset) a question. But before Ido so your lordships will perhaps allow me to make a few ob servations on a matter personal to myself. My lords, I am informed that an hon. member, supported and backed up by a noble lord in another locality, if I may so express myself. has made certain charges against me with reference•to what fell from me the other night in the course of the discussion upon the defences of the country. One of those charges is , undoubtedly true. The hon. member stated that I was an " old matt," or an " aged man," or an "old peer," for there are varied readings of this classical attack. (Laughter.) I , can only say that I must plead guilty to that part of the charge, while at the same time I cannot but admire the sar mini so pointed, so keen, so bitter, so creditable to the taste and talent of the hon. gentleman who made this extraordi nary discovery. So much for this part of the charge. Another more serious part of the charge was to this effect, that the doctrines I laid down were not doctrines at all suited to the present day, to the present enlightened state of society, that they were referable to a period of, I think, 60 years back, or some such period. But, my lords, this part of the charge I must bring to your recollection is perfectly unfounded, and, if I may venture to say so, perfectly untrue. For what was the course of observation I pursued ? It was the most simple course that any man could have adopted. I m minded your lordships thatlitherto we had been in a stater of perfect security at home and abroad with respect to our honour and interests, in consequence of the superiority of our navy. That was my statement. I went on to say that naval warfare had assumed a new shape, and a shape of such a character that it was impossible for us to say with confidence that we could rely upon such a state of security. And I called upon your lordships and upon the Government to do everything in their power to put the country, both in its military and naval defences, in such a state as would restore us to the security that we have hitherto enjoyed. (Hear.) I entered, perhaps, too much into detail, but I never deviated for one moment from that line of argument. Ido not believe that there is a con- - scientious man in this country, except the individual to whom I have referred, and who made this charge against me, who would differ in opinion from what I stated. Ido not believe that any man who has the heart of an English man would have dissented from that statement. My lords, it is very well for Englishmen inprivate life, when they are smitten upon one cheek, to turn the other cheek to the smelter. But that is not my feeling, and least of all ought it to be the feeling of a great and powerful nation. I might cite a passage from an eminent orator—an Athenian orator —which I think somewhat in point. He says in substance, " Nations build large fortresses and lay out great sums of money for that purpose, but there is one common bulwark which every prudent man will take care to maintain. It is the great security of all nations, particularly of free States, against foreign despotic power." He goes onto ask, "What is this ?" The answer he gives is, "Distrust, distrust. Be mindful of that, adhere to it, and you will be free from al most every calamity." I thought it right, perhaps neces sary, to give this explanation, as to the substance of what I stated the other night in contradiction of those unfounded charges which have been preferredagainatmein thelocality to which I refer. The question I have to put to the noble duke is this—l am sure the noble duke will not think it re quires any previous notice--whether he is aware that the French are arming their fleet on the other sideof the Chan nel with rifled cannon ? I put this question because from the reports I have heard it would appear that the rifled can non we are preparing will not extend to above 100 in the present year, and 200 in the following year, whereas it is said the French rifled cannon are manufactured with such rapidity that they will be able to arm their fleet in that mode long before we can make use, to any extent, of the rifled cannon of Sir W. Armstrong. The Duke of SOMERSET, who was barely audible in the gallery, was understood to say that the noble and learned lord's explanation of what he said on a former occa sion did not agree with the impression which the noble and learned lord's observations on that occasion made on his (the Duke of Somerset's) mind. He thought at the time that the noble and learned lord added to his observa tions many remarks which were necessarily offensive to other nations. He thought the noble and learned lord might have given the advice which he tendered on that occasion, and which came with such weight from a person of his high authority, without mixing it up with liiingnage necessarily offensive to susceptible nations abroad. That was the ob jection which he made to the noble and learned lord's re marks at the time. With regard to the question put by the noble and learned lord, he had only to say that of course he had heard the report, though that report was not based on any authentic information in his possession, that some rifled cannon had been prepared in the arsensals of France. He was aware also that although we had very ..:zany improved cannon in the course of manufacture, our cannon would not be, according to our system of manufacture, ready for many months to come. But that was not, the whole matter. There were many questions connected with the subject to which the inquiry of the noble and learned lord referred. He did not, however; think it desirable that he should now enter into a discussion of the questions connected with the im provement of cannon, which were now under the considera tion of the department to which they properly belonged. He therefore must decline to follow the noble and learned lord into that discussion, to show what we had done in that way in answer to what the noble and learned lord imagined the French had done. Lord LYNDII URST—I think the observations made by the noble duke are utterly unfounded. I put this question ; I said—persons will ask me, perhaps, whether I did not place confidence in the promises and assurances of the Em peror of tne French ? I said—Let every man answer that question for himself, as he may think advisable ; for myself, I answer it in this way—l will not trust the liberties of this country, its honour, and its in terests, to any declarations or promises of any friendly Power, or of any Power whatever. I will rely on my own power, on my own resources, on my own vigour, and on the strength of my own right arm. I will not rely in particular. on the Emperor of the French, because, from his situation, I think he cannot rely on himself. These are the only ob servationi of which I am aware that ever fell from me'on the occasion in question ; and I appeal to your lordships whether there is anything that any man, however sensitive, can complain of in the remarks to which I have alluded. (Hear, hear.) The subject was then allowed to drop. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Lord BROUCHAM, who had previously given notice of his intention to call the a tt en tio n o f th e h ouse to the peti tions from London, Worcester, and other places, presented education,b hi m said, a former ris e i v n e g uin to g, do on so t , h h e is n l a e a t iln e a l d subject nob l e a n o f d friend (Lord Lyndhurst) was not the only member of that house respecting whose age remarks had been made. H e (Lord Brougham) himself was also a sufferer from such observations. Lord LYNDHURST—I don't admit that I am a suf ferer. (Laughter.) Lord BROUGHAM (resuming) was glad to find that his noble and learned friend did not suffer from such remarks, no more did he (Lord Brougham). It had, however, cer tainly been said, though not " elsewhere," but by a person now in high office and authority in the East, that he had grown gray in talking of education, H e did not suffer from that language any more th an his noble and learned friend. Nevertheless he (Lord Brougham) must plead guilty to the circumstance of having grown gray. He must, however, continue to follow the course which he had pursued for so many years, in Parliament and out of Parliament, with reference to the questicn of education. He had the honour of presiding over the celebrated Education Committee which sat in 1816, 1817, and 1818, by whose labours the subject of national education was invested with an importance and an interest which it had ever since sustained in the public mind. On the recommen dation of that committee he introduced a Bill into Parliament, but was prevented from proceeding with it on account of the objections of the Dissenting body, who had always been his most able coadjutors in the cause of education. They had objections to that particular mea sure, however, and from regard to their wishes he withdrew it from Parliament. A long time elapsed before an oppor tunity presented itself of again pressing the subject on the attention of Parliament, but he might mention that before 1818 there were in England 19,400 dad schools, and 5,400 Sunday schools, the former educating 674,000, and the latter 525,000 children, and that before a single farthing was paid for the purpose by the State there were being l e children. The noble and learned lord then traced usioes ofthe in day schools 1,500,000, and in Sunday pro gress of the grants for education under th d e h a is schools th26eoooo g p_ ratificatio . n Committee of Privy Council, which had latterly taken place in at the great improvement Another plan had been the administration of the plan. not be ' lost sight of however, which he hoped would.resse pro posed, and en councils to levy an education that of empowering town rate in towns under their control, and by means of the rate to educate the children of any religiou s d enom i nat i on, leaving the parents to decide upon the ki n d of religion vhich their children should be taught. The petitioners laid it down as a general proposition that the middle classes had the same right to attention from the Govern ment and Parliament as the working classes. The upper classes and their schools could take care of themselves. The schools of the working classes had, under the system established by the Committee of Council on Education, ob tained the advantages of inspection, of the training of mas ters, and of pupil teachers ; so that while abolishing we had supplied the place of the monitorial system, against which
