LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. EN RE CAPTAIN CROSSMAN. -THE HON. RICHARD BETHELL AND HIS LIABILITIES. This was an application for release, and the bankrupt de scribed himself as of 38, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish square, captain in the army, invalided, and now a prisoner for debt at No. 1, Bream's-buildings, Chancery-lane. He states on the proceedings that "the failure arises from your petitioner having incurred debts on behalf of the Hon. Richard Bethell, which he has failed to meet." Amongst a somewhat long list of creditors are the following:— West of England Life Office £l,OOO, and the bankrupt accounts for the debt by stating that the office holds a joint and several bond of the Hon. R. Bethell, self, and another person ; also a policy of insurance on the life of the said Hon. R. Bethell for £2,000. J. Jacobson, 30, Albemarle-street, £252 ; holds bank rupt's draft, accepted by the Hon. R. Bethell for £252, dated May, 1864. F. Yates, 36, Henley-street, £406, holdsbankrupt's draft, accepted by the Hon. R. Bethel], for £4OO. Messrs. Lawrence, Plews, and Bowyer, who filed the petition, supported the present application for release, Mr. Spyer opposing for Mr. Jacobson. At a quarter to one it was arranged that the bankrupt should go out on bail. After the matter had been arranged the parties applied to the Commissioner to confirm it, but he declined. The Bankrupt—l owe my present trouble to having be come security for the Hon. R. Bethell, and if I am released I can, perhaps, induce him to do something for me. His Honour—He is just as likely to do it now. Perhaps Mr. Bethell may be appointed assignee. Mr. Lawrence—l should be sorry to propose him, and your Honour would not confirm it. His Honour then formally refused to sanction the dis charge, but said the application could be renewed upon the choice of assignees. Application refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. STEALING A PIANOFORTE.—A man named Godfrey was placed at the bar charged with illegally pawning a piano forte. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner and a man named Nash went to Messrs. Moore, of Bishopsgate street, and hired a pianoforte. Tho reference used was satisfactory, and the instrument was lent, but in a few days afterwards the instrument was pawned. John Young, assistant to Mr. Attenborough, Fleet street, said—The prisoner came and asked if he lent money on pianofortes. He told him they did, and he (witness) asked how much he required. He said £4O as the instrument cost £7O or £BO. He told him he would take the pianoforte in pledge if he could pro duce the receipt for its payment. He told him it was no use coming with the pianoforte without that document. He said he thought he could get that, and on the 25th of February the prisoner and a Mr. Nash called and said they had brought the receipt. He then told them to take the piano to the warehouse, and they did so. After this he told the men he could lend them £lO on the instrument, and they returned to the shop. The prisoner produced the receipt, from which it appeared that the instrument had been bought of Messrs. Moore by a person named Parker for £42. A member of the firm of Moore and Co. identified the pianoforte at Messrs. Attenborough's warehouse as the one lent to the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded in order that time might be allowed for the capture of the prisoner's companion, Nash. BOW-STREET. STEALING THE THIRD EDITION OF "THE SUN" NEWSPAPER. Joseph Thompson, an auxiliary letter-carrier and sorter at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, was charged with stealing one copy of the latest edition of The bun newspaper, of the 17th inst., in its course through the post. Mr. Peacock conducted the prosecution. Mr. Lord, superintendent of the Newspaper Department, General Post-office, deposed at about 28 minutes before 8 p.m. on the day in question he saw the prisoner, who was engaged in sorting the newspapers for the Eastern Coun ties line, put a newspaper into his coat pocket. He gave information to the inspector of letter-carriers. Mr. Steele, inspector of letter-carriers, stated that from the information he received from the last witness he sent for the prisoner to his room, and taxed him with having put a newspaper in his pocket. The prisoner admitted that it was true, took the paper from his pocket, and gave it up. It proved to be a late edition of The Sun. He excused himself by saying that he only took it to read because he had a son in America, and he wanted to read the American news. The paper had not been opened. It was addressed to Mr. C. M. Burton, Crown Inn, Oxford, Suffolk. Mr. Andrews, the publisher of The Sun newspaper, stated he made up the paper himself, placed it in the envelope, and despatched it from the office by the messenger. Mr. Peacock—Do you often receive complaints of the non-delivery of The Sun newspaper ? Witness—Yes, the complaints from all parts of the king dom were frequent, especially on the eve of an important race—the non-delivery of the paper on those occasions being particularly annoying to the subscribers. The third edi tion of The Sun, containing the return of the day's racing and the latest betting on forthcoming races, made it of special value to our numerous sporting subscribers in the country, who were dependent on the receipt of the paper for authentic information relative to the latest movements in the racing world. We have suf fered from this system of appropriation for years. Mr. Reed, the messenger, stated that on the day in question he received from Mr. Andrews, in the usual course, the copies of the latest edition of The Sun, to be conveyed to the General Post-office, which he duly delivered at St. Martin's-le-Grand at a quarter to 7 o'clock. Henry Remball, one of the police-officers attached to the General Post-office, deposed that he was called by Mr. Steele to take the prisoner into custody. On searching the prisoner he found on him two £lO notes, four £5 notes, £lO in gold, a handsome gold watch with his name "Joseph Thompson" engraved on it, a betting-book, ands number of cards relating to betting transactions, showing that he had been somewhat extensively operating on the turf. The prisoner said he only took the paper to read the American news. He was remanded for further examination. City Sewers Commission. The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London met on Tuesday at the Guildhall, Deputy De Jersey pre siding. The Commissioners were for a long time occupied in hear ing appeals against the rating of certain premises in the City, and in receiving tenders for cleansing, dusting, and watering the City for one year from the 25th June next. A letter was read from the City Remembrancer stating that the Union of Benefices Amendment Act had been with drawn, and the petition in opposition which had been agreed upon would therefore be unnecessary. Deputy BURNELL said he considered that the petition from the commissioners against the bill should have been pre sented a long time since, in order that the attention of the House of Commons might have been drawn to the subject, which, in his opinion, was one of very considerable import ance. The inhabitants of the parish of St. Benet, Grace church,had been induced to agree to theunion of that bene fice and to the removal of the parish church, in order that a great public improvement might be carried out there by the widening of Gracechurch-street and Fenchurch-street; but now, instead of that improvement being effected, it was contemplated to sell the site after the church was removed to the highest bidder, and the original idea would be com pletely frustrated. The bill which had been introduced into Parliament was for the purpose of getting rid of the sanction of the Venerable Archdeacon Hale to the proposed sale by auction, which had up to that time been withheld, but since then, he (Deputy Burnell) understood the arch deacon had withdrawn his opposition, and it was now de termined not to proceed with the bill. He strongly de nounced any attempt to sell the site of the church in the manner proposed, which would have the effect of defeating the original intention of the inhabitants in giving their consent to the union, and he regretted that a petition had not been presented to the House of Commons directing their attention to the question. (Hear, hear.) The matter then dropped. A petition was presented to the Court on behalf of several of the inhabitants of King William-street, asking the Court to take into consideration the necessity of the removal or modification of the present statue of Xing William. The petitioners considered that the entire removal of the statue, and the substitution of an ornamental pillar, would be a great boon, inasmuch as it would give to the roadway a considerable increase of space all round the present base ; it would prevent nuisances which at present existed ; it would afford a safer land ing-place for foot passengers, and give light to the road, which was so much needed, especially in the winter season. They also contemplate the future state of the traffic in that neighbourhood with great anxiety. The new railway terminus in Cannon-street (now almost complete) must of necessity add considerably to the present traffic, and as the principal traffic from the east of London to that terminus would necessarily pass behind the statue (it being the only direct line of Communication), it became a serious question how such a stream could ever pass througha road which was only 22ft. wide, and which at present was always in a crowded state. In addition to this a station of the Metropolitan District would be erected still closer to the statue, where every fraction of available space would be required for the accommodation of the traffic which must be expected. Should the commissioners consider it inex pedient to remove the statue entirely, the petitioners sug gested a modification of its present dimensions by remov ing the railings and massive lamp-posts which now encir cled it, and cutting away the projecting base of the pedes tal. This would effect a clear gain to the roadway of 6ft. all round it and the footway as wide as at present. They trusted that one of these propositions would meet the favourable consideration of the commissioners, thereby correcting a great evil. They urged the first as the effectual remedy, and the last as a great improvement. The matter was referred to the General Purposes Com mittee to examine and report. In consequence of repeated complaints made by the inha bitants of the Poultry of the noise and inconvenience arising from the iron pavement laid down there, Mr. Deputy Tegg presented at a recent meeting of the commission a nume rously-signed memorial asking that it should be removed, and a granite pavement substituted for it. On that occasion the subject was referred to the engineer to consider and re port, and to-day Mr. Haywood brought up his report, in which he stated " The object of laying down the iron pave ment was to ascertain if it would last longer than granite, and lead to economy as well as diminish the inconvenience to the public consequent upon the frequent stopping up of the carriage-ways for paving purposes. Experience has not hitherto proved this to be the result. It remains, however, to be seen how long the iron pavement in the Poultry will last, but if it be removed immediately this experience will not be gained, and the main object of the experiment will be lost. The pavement is at present in a sound condition, and will, I think, last very well if not disturbed till next spring, and I consider that it is a secure pavement for vehicular traffic." Deputy TEGG said he did not desire to offer opposition to the report of the engineer, but at the same time he thought the expression of opinion on the part of the inhabitants of the locality was entitled to some consideration at the hands of the Court. Every shopkeeper in the Poultry had, he be lieved, signed the memorial which had been presented, in which they set forth the disadvantages and inconvenience arising from the iron pavement, and he thought that their request to have it removed ought to have some weight. After some conversation, it was decided to allow the sub ject to stand over for the present. The City Chamberlain, Mr. Benjamin Scott, who is the treasurer to the commissioners, was stated to have in hand on the sewers rate £11,636 2s. 4d., whilst there had been overdrawn the sum of £4,363 19s. 9d. on •the consolidated rate, and £2,871 Is. sp. on the metropolis main drainage rate. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT.—A few days since a wo man, carrying an infant in her arms, came to this court, and said she had lost her little girl, aged five years, from her side, while passing through Whitechapel on her way from Sevenoaks, in Sent, to Bishop Stortford, in Kent, to meet her husband there. She also said that she was destitute, and was indebted to the police of the H division for her maintenance for two days. She was relieved from the poor -box. Her case excited much commiserat i o n, and the police were directed to assist her in looking for her lost child. The child was found, and she was sent away to Bishop Stortford with her children by rail at the expense of the poor-box fund. Mr. Partridge afterwards received. several sums of money for her relief, but he refused to apply them as requested, because the woman had been already relieved, and there were no special circumstances in the case to call for the sympathy of the benevolent. This morning Mr. Partridge received a letter of which the following is a copy, and it conveys the astounding intelli gence that four men were convicted by country justices in their absence for committing an assault. Such a thing was never heard of before, and the invariable custom which has been always adopted by the stipendiary justices of the police-courts of the metropolis was to grant a warrant for the arrest of the persons charged on their neglect to attend a summons, and not to hear the case until an arrest was effected : " A Alden, near Saffron Walden, May 17, 1865. " Sir, —Having read an account in the newspapers of a woman losing her child in Whitechapel, I beg to submit the following for your worship's information respecting the woman who appeared before you on that occasion, and who gave the name of Priscilla Curzon, and who also left Ashdon under the following circumstances :—For almost two years past she has cohabited with a man whose name is Robert Curzon (which name she also assumes), a railway labourer, at Linton, Cambridgeshire, and Ashdon, Essex. On the 24th ult., at Ashdon, Curzon, with several other railway labourers, committed a violent assault upon Mr. Paul Artis, agent to the contractor who is making the railway from Saffron Walden to Bartlow, for which offence Mr. Artis summoned Curson, with three others, to appear before tho magistrates at the natty sessions, held at Saffron Walden, on the 29th ult. They neither of them appeared to the summons, but were convicted in their absence, and committed for six weeks hard labour without the option of paying a fine, and we now hold warrants of commit ment against Curson and the other three. The woman mentioned above took a very prominent part in that assault and breach of the peace, which I was called upon to quell, together with the assistance of the three parish constables; consequently Curzon and the woman with the two children left Ashdon on the morning of the 29th ult., a few hours before the magistrates assembled in Petty Sessions at Saffron Walden. I beg that your worship will excuse me for taking this liberty, but knowing the woman's conduct whilst at Linton and Ashdon as being of a disreputable character, and finding that her statement as stated in the paper was truthful throughout, I have thought it my duty to submit the above remarks for your worship's further information.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "Erman RAISON, Police-constable, 96, Essex County Constabulary. "P.S.—I have written this with the belief that the woman who appeared before your worship is one and the same person that I have referred to. She is a tall, pale faced woman, about 35 years of age, wearing a plaid shawl. E. It." Mr. Partridge said there was no doubt the woman calling herself Priscilla Curzon, who lost her child, was the per son who absconded from Ashdon on the 29th of last month. There was no doubt she lost her child, and was glad she had since found it. She had committed no imposition on him as regarded the loss of her little girl. SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, presented the following report : "To the Honourable Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London. "Gentlemen—The inspectors' returns whicn are before you relate to 239 houses that have been inspected during the week, and I submit a list of 90 places for sanatory im provement in various particulars. I likewise submit a list of places requiring further proceedings on account of orders already issued, but not yet complied with. "All the bakehouses of the City, 130 in number, have been inspected during the week, and I submit a list of 17 of them that required to be cleansed in accordance with the provisions of the Bakehouses Regulation Act. " The markets and slaughter -houses have been duly in spected, and the officers have condemned 2,667 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 13 sheep, 14 pigs, 12 quarters of beef, and 17 joints of meat; 1,837 lbs. were diseased, 560 lbs. were putrid, and the rest was from ani mals that had died from natural causes. Forty-eight births and 50 deaths were registered during the week ; the mortality returns being exactly the average for the corresponding week of the last nine years ; 20 of the deaths were among children of less than five years of age, and 10 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follow :—Phthisis 8, mesenteric disease 8, hydrocephalus 1, pneumonia 3, bronchitis 6, whooping -cough 2, fever 2, croup 1, and infantile diar rhoea 2, making together 17 deaths from tubercular diseases, 9 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and only 7 from diseases of a zymotic character, show ing a satisfactory state of the public health. " I remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) "H. LETHEBY." THE GAS SUPPLY IN THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY reported that the illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had been constantly above the standard of the Act of Parliament. It had ranged from 13.13 sperm candles to 15.30, the average of each company being above 14 candles ; and the chemical quality had, except in the case of the Char tered and Great Central Gas, been also good, but the former gas had been highly charged with ammonia and the latter with sulphur. The commissioners, after disposing ness, adjourned. of some further busi- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

The near approach of the Derby always brings with it some starling movement affecting the position of favourites. York has not been wanting in this respect, and Gladiateur's sudden decline yesterday afternoon was followed up at the rooms . at night by his still further retrograding to 14 to 1. However, before the close he was brought again and rein stated in the position he held before dinner. There are various rumours as to the cause of his decline, some assert ing that it has been found necessary to stop him in his work, while there is also a prevalent opinion that the horse is only being used for market purposes ; time will show. The sale of Mr. Jackson's and some other yearlings occu pied the morning, and tho St. Albans and Thermanbys be longing to that gentleman fetched good prices. It was his first appearance as a breeder, and the condition and general appearance of the various lots reflected much credit on the care of his stud groom. There are only two events in the second day of York Spring that command much attention, and these are the Londesborough Cup and the Flying Dutchman's Handicap. The Consolation Scramble saw the great favourites, Regi nella and Summerside, upset by a scarcely backed outsider, Gil Blas; and the Eglinton Stakes was an easy win for Osiris. The Londesborough Cup was a great surprise. Sundeelah, a horse who had run fourth in the Consolation Scramble, hero came out on a stone better terms, and squandered his field-,in a hollow style. The talent over looked him, for he was unmentioned in the betting. The attendance was smaller than yesterday, the weather everything that could be desired. We may add that Gladiateur has recovered from his tem porary "indisposition," 6 to 1 being offered about him this afternoon. Match for 50 sous ; llst each. Mile and a half. Mr. Bower's Redpole, 5 yrs (Mr. Boynton) 1 Captain Vyner's Bryan, aged (Mr. Thompson) 2 Betting-5 to 4on Redpole, who waited upon the non favourito to the turn into the straight, where he g6t up, and won very cleverly at last by three lengths.

Betting-9 to 1 agst Reginella, sto 2 agst Summerside, 10 to 1 agst Moll Flagon, 100 to 8 agst Lady John filly, 100 to 7 agst Gil Bias. After one failure, in which Syren and Gil Blas ran into the distance, the lot left the post in close company, Sum merside in company with the favourite ; the Lady John filly and Syren being slightly in advance. They ran thus to half way in the distance, where Summerside was beaten, and her place was taken by Reginella, who was imme diately after headed by Gil Blas, who crept up next the rails, and won very easily by three lengths, two lengths separating the second and third, and a length divided the third and fourth, Moll Flagon fifth, Barnoldby sixth, and Syren next. The last two were Dagmar and Lady John filly. _ T he Eglinton Stakes of 10 sovs each, half forfeit, with 50 added, for 2-yr-olds, 7st ; and 8-yr-olds, Bst 121 b.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Venice, 11 to 2 agst Reindeer, 10 to 1 each agst Lozenge and Skylark, and 100 to 8 each agst Tartar and Flying Horse. They were despatched from the post at the first attempt, Grappler having slightly the best of it, Flying Horse and Skylark being his immediate followers, and wide on their right came Reindeer, Lozenge, Venice, and Sundeelah. On reaching the distance Grappler dropped back, and his place was then taken by Lozenge, who in turn was headed by Sundeelah, who came up next the rails and won very cleverly by a length ; twice that distance separated the second and third, and a length divided the third and fourth, Tartar fifth, Skylark sixth, and Reindeer next. The last two were Flying Horse and Castle Espie. The City Purse of 50 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. T.Y.C. 7 subs.

Sister to Bombay, next - the rails, got away in front, having the favourite and Cronstadt in close attendance to half way in the entrance, when Portrick, who had hitherto been lying off, came through, and on reaching the Stand appeared to be catching his horses at every stride, but he suddenly gave way, leaving the issue with the two, The Squaw filly winning rather cleverly by a neck; there were two lengths between the second and third; a bad fourth. The winner was bought in for 210 guineas, and Mr. T• Dawson claimed Portrick. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 15 sow; each, 10 ft, and sif declared.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC OATH BILL, Mr. MONSELL moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which 'was to relieve Roman Catholics from certain oaths which they consider obnoxious. The hon. member did not make any remarks on the subject. Mr. LEFROY moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He contended that the oaths imposed on a member of the House of Com mons was a part of the arrangement upon which Catholic Emancipation was conceded, and therefore he was of opinion that it could not now bo objected to on conscien tious grounds. He also objected to bringing forward the measure . at the present time, because it was ill-advised, and there appeared to be a very extensive movement going on amongst certain parties for the dismemberment of the Established Church in Ireland, and that if the change was required it ought to be brought forward by the Govern ment. Mr. WHALLEY entirely concurred in the observations of the hon. gentleman who had just sat down, and, there fore, he should vote against the second reading of the bill. Mr. G. FORTESCUE supported the bill, in order that certain oaths which still impair the great and important, but tardy, act of justice done to the Roman Catholics by the passing of the Emancipation Act, might be done away with. (Hear, hear.) Tho oath he considered was ambiguous and immoral, and he hoped the time had come when one portion of the members of that house would be anxious to relieve their brother members from that brand of suspicion, that banshee of superstition which, was forced upon them by the compulsory administration of the oath. He did not think it generous on the part of the majority of that house to impose thatt oath on the mino rity, because there was no good actually in doing so, and it was only that the number of persons forced to take it were comparatively small that had led to its remaining in force up to the present day. He could not see the slightest usefulness in the proceedings, he entirely oh jected to these flimsy fair weather securities that vanished when they were wanted, and said he could only compare them to the frowning fortress on the stage, which, on close inspection, we at once see to be quite use less as far as any practical purpose was concerned. (Hear, hear.) Tt had been said that the Roman Catholic members of that house had nothing to complain of, but toleiation was not enough. He was of opinion that every member of that house ought to hold his seat on equal terms. (Hear, hear.) Ho hoped the measure would meet with the ap proval of the majority of that house, and then they would show that they were not disinclined to listen to the call of generosity and the commands of morality. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE opposed the bill, as he considered the proposal to abolish the oath dangerous and rash. The oath had been taken without the slightest objection for a great number of years, and he could not understand the reason that had induced the hon. member to bring the matter forward, because he had never heard any very seri ous objection to the oath it was now proposed to abrogate. He considered it was absolutely necessary to preserve the Church to retain the oath it was now sought to abolish, and that being his opinion, he should give his vote in opposition to the bill. Sir G. GREY said the hon. member had appealed to him to state the course the Government proposed to take with respect to this bill, but he thought that such an appeal was unnecessary, because for the last ten years the Government had been endeavouring to abolish those oaths, and therefore there ought to be no occasion to ask the opinion of the Government with respect to the principles of tho bill now under discussion. He denied that any compact was entered into at the passing of the Emancipation Act, and it was unjust and ungenerous to the memories of the late Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel to make such a statement. Ho felt the bill had jus tice and right on its side, and therefore he should vote for its second reading, especially as its object was only to assimilate the oath taken by Roman Catholics with that taken by Protestant Episcopalians and members of the Jewish persuasion. He could not believe there was the slightest reason for retaining the objection able oath, because he felt that the loyalty of her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects might bo as firmly relied upon as their Protestant brethren. For the sake of argument, suppose they were not, then he was firmly of opinion that the law of the land would be found quite equal to the calls that would be made upon it. (Hear, hear.) He could not believe that there was a single Roman Catholic gentleman in that house who believed that he was absolved from alle giance to her Majesty, or that he would be justified in murdering a prince or potentate excommunicated by the Pope. (Hear, hear.) He objected to the oath on the ground of its injustice, because lie did call it an injustice and a wrong to call upon Roman Catholics to take an oath which reflected upon the Church to which he belonged, or the faith he entertained. Never was it for a moment seri ously thought that the passing of this bill would endanger or disturb the Act of Settlement. Why, such a supposi tion he looked upon as perfectly absurd. He did not see that the oath provided any great security for the preserva tion of the Sovereign and our institutions, and ho was of opinion that the general feeling in the country would be in favour of Parliament giving its sanction to the bfll. (Hear, hear.) He did not see in this oath any great security for the Protestant religion such as had been stated by the objectors to the measure. He looked forward to the time when one common oath should be framed, which could be taken by every member of the house, and thus all sent to the Loglislature would take their seats quite on an equality. (Hear, hear.) Ho should therefore give the bill his support. Mr. WALPOLE thought the wisest course would be to adhere to the act of 1829, because the effect of not doing so would be to raise up religious feuds, than which nothing was less desirable. Supposing the house thought there ought to be an amendment of the oath, then he frankly admitted that there were parts of the oath it was not ad visable to retain, but the subject ought to be dealt with by the Government. He thought it would be wise to put all upon one footing, and that one oath should be taken by all entering that house, but that was not the object sought by the bill. The measure would do nothing but disturb the settlement come to in 1829, and therefore he should give his vote against the second reading. Lord H. LENNOX thought there ought to be but ono oath for members of that house, and for that reason he should cordially support the motion for proceeding with the measure. Mr. T. KENNEDY approved of the bill, and said ho considered the house as competent to deal with the sub ject now as it was 30 years ago, and he did hope that the liberal and generous feeling that at present existed between Roman Catholice-and Protestants in Ireland would not be disturbed by the rejection of than Mr. COLLINS did not think the present House of Com mons was bound to the acts of their fathers 35 years ago. (Hear.) He thought it was quite true that that which had generally been admitted to be an injustice should be at once removed. He was in favour of one oath being framed for the general use by all members of that house. The great danger to the Church of England did not, in his opinion, proceed from the Roman Catholics, but it came from those who were hostile to all connection between Church and State, and from those free-thinkers who wero opposed to all subscriptions to the articles of the clergy. (Hear.) He hoped the house would give its assent to tho principle of the bill by voting for its second reading. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading l9O Against it Majority -56 The bill was accordingly read a second time and ordered to be committed on Friday. Mr. NEWDEGATE gave notice that on that day ho should move that the bill be committed that day six months. SMOKE NUISANCES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time.

Mr. BARING obtained leave to bring in a bill for the establishment of a fire brigade within the metropolis. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. have received - - by this mail, on acconnt of New Granada dividends, a remittance of £487 from the Custom-house of San Jose du Cucuta. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The great Flower Show of the season takes place on Saturday next, and from the peculiar fineness of the season, and the large number of entries already sent in, it is anticipated that this will be the largest and best show that has over taken place. Up wards of two thousand feet of staging, some of it in three or four tiers, is being erected the whole length of the naves of the Palace. The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Manna, will also be more than usually ex tensive. The Queen's birthday will be celebrated on. Wednesday next by a repetition of the metropolitan schools' choral meeting of 5,000 voices at the Crystal Palace, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin. Her Majesty's birth day is always kept as a general holiday, and a large num • ber of persons will doubtless be attracted to the Palace by the musical treat provided for them. The effect of the National Anthem and other pieces sung by a choir of 5,000, and in which the vast audience assembled will join, is expected to be most imposing. Employers are already making arrangements for excursions, and extra trains at a cheap rate are being organised by the various railway authorities in honour of the day. WEST INDIES.—The West Indian steamer Darien arrived at Liverpool yesterday with late advices, but they are generally anticipted by the West Indian. mails.
