IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amendments to Cromarty's Estate Bill were considered and agreed to. Mr. MIIRROUGH presented a petition from the inhabitants of St. Clements Danes, Strand, praying for the abolition of church rates. BARON ROTHSCHILD'S CASE. Mr. WALPOLE rose to move that Baron Lionel Rothschild should be heard by counsel on Monday next, before the committee now sitting on the London Writ. He as chairman of the committee had received a letter to that effect from Baron Rothschild, and his request had been very much discussed by the committee. The com mittee had felt there was very considerable difficulty, inasmuch as it would hardly be fair to hear counsel on one side and not on the other. At the same time the application of Baron Rothschild appeared so reasonable that the committee consulted Mr. Speaker, and he sup plied them with a precedent in the case of the late Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Connell had been returned, but was unable to sit, as he refused to take the oath of supre macy ; accordingly he applied to be heard by counsel, and his request was granted ; but he was beard by counsel at the bar of the house. The dif ference now was whether Baron Rothschild should be heard by counsel at the bar of the house, or before the committee. He (Mr. Walpole) as chairman of the committee, did not wish to expre ss an y o p inion on the question, and he should therefore simply make this motion, in which the majority of the committee were unanimous. The right hon. and learned gentleman concluded by moving his resolution. Sir F. THESIGER said he had lot the slightest wish to prevent Baron Rothschild being heard by counsel on a matter which so nearly concerned his rights and inte rests, but be did entertain very considerable doubts of the course which the right hon. member for Midhurst (Mr. Walpole) proposed to take. He begged leave, therefore, to move an amendment, that Baron Roths child be at liberty to be heard by counsel at the bar of the house. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment, on the ground that the question of law as well as of fact had been re ferred to the committee. Mr. R. PIIILLIUORE supported the amendment, and the LORD-ADVOCATE opposed it. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Headlam, Lord Seymour, and Mr. Massey took part, Sir F. THESIGER said he had no wish to put the house to the trouble of dividing. The amendment was then withdrawn and the original motion agreed to. SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of the above bill, Mr. BLACKBURN moved the postponement of the second reading for a fortnight. Mr. DUNLOP moved an amendment that it be read a second time to-morrow. The house divided— For the motion.. Against it . . 80 Majority Mr. BLACKBURN then gave notice that to-mor row he would move that the bill be read a second time on Monday next. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION (No. 2) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. FOLLETT rose to oppose the further progress of the bill, on the ground that it was a political and not a re ligious measure, and one intended as thefirat step towards the destruction of the Established Church in this country. If it was to be said that this measure would not affect the Established Church as a religions body, he would ha some measure agree w;th them—(Hear)—but that it would materially affect the Established Church as an Es tablished Church be considered to be without the slightest doubt. If it were once allowed that the Established Church was not to be kept up by com pulsory payments, and that the State was not to do all in its power to support it, there was an end of the Church of England as an Established Church. If Dissenters were to be exempted from the payment of rates for the support of the Established Church, the principle of an E.tablished Church was at once given up. One reason that had been put forward in favour of the abolition of the Established Church was that it had not done its duty. He denied such a proposition in toto, and in order to show that sufficient accommodation had been afforded by the Established Church for all, the hon. and learned member referred to a great number of returns, showing the accommodation that had been afforded by the Established Church in some of the largest towns in the kingdom, and the effect of the voluntary principle, and from these returns the hon. gentleman drew the con clusion that the church had done far more for the hen pinese of society than the voluntary principle ; Le, therefore, could not see why an establishment that bad existed for upwards of 1,000 years, was to be up rooted for the sake of establishing a principle that was evanescent and unstable. He thought the question had been argued upon teo limited grounds ; it had been only looked upon with reference to large towns, while the desires and wishes of upwards of 11,000 parishes in the eouutry had been entirely overlooked or forgotten. The hon. and learned member concluded a lengthened speech by moving that the house should resolve itself into a committee on the bill that day three months. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL regretted the course that had been pursued by his learned friend. It never could be said that after what had taken place the ques tion of the abolition of the church rates would be allowed totsleep. Would it not, therefore, be far better by some lgielation to set the matter at rest, and put an end to the keartburnings the dissenters at the present moment felt on this subject. That was the object of the present bill, and a more commendable one he could not con ceive. He thought that nothing was more calculated to lower the church in the opinion of the country than for it to agree at once to a measure like the present, and nothing was more likely toldecrease its popularity than these paltry attempts to throw out a measure when the paltry sum (compared with the incomes of the Church of England) of 300,0001. only was involved. He would not look at the question only as a legislator, but RS a lawyer, and in the latter character he must confess he was ashamed of the law as it at present stood. The law as it at present stood enforced an obligation, but there was no means of carrying :t out. The result was the law was a complete mockery and a laughing-stock. And what was the consequence ? Why, that church rates in the principal towns in the kingdom had been re fused, and, in some instances, not asked for. To remedy these evils the present bill had been brought forward, and he trusted the house would at once adopt it. There might be many objectionable clauses in the bill, but the house having sanctioned its principle, was it not a wise course to go into committee in order to consider its de tails and remedy any of its defects t Lord J. MANNERS supported the amendment, considering the very preamble of the bill, as put forth, a false, unjustifiable, and uncalled-for principle. Sir W. SOMERVILLE, while he admitted the temperate manner in which the hon. and learned gentle man opened the debate, could not but be surprised at the assertion he had made, namely, that the abolition of church rates would put an end to the Monarchy and the Established Church altogether. ife trusted that the Monarchy and the Church of England and Ireland were placed upon a far sounder and more stable foundation. Could it be denied that since the abolition of church rates in Ireland the Established Church there had been im proved and strengthened, and many heartburnings, and ill feelings had been put an end to ? If such had been the result of the measure in Ireland, why should it not be equally beneficial in England ? (Hear.) Believing that the abolition of church rates would remove the wall of dissent, he should give his hearty support to the bill. Mr. E. BALL supported the bill, believing that nothing would be more beneficial for the Church of Eng land than the passing o f the s present bill. (Hear.) Mr. R. PHILLIMO R Eupported the amendment of the hon. member for Bridgewater, bill as one that was of a dishonest considering the the Dissenters character, because it gave all the advantages to the Churchmen of them ; wails a t and .deprived t the same time it totally dieroprded the upholdin g of the fabric of the Eetablished Church. It .did also an injusti ce t o th e Ch u rchman by throwing . upon the burthen of supporting t he C h urch , while it n gave to the D i ssen t er s the advantages accruing fro it- It had been said that church rates could not 1 1 3 e raised i large cities, a nd the cit y of Westminster h ad been n" Um:led. He kne w nothin g of Weetminster, but ot this be could assure the house, that in the diocese of London very considerable rates were raised. The hon. g4ntl e . man then read a statement, showing that in the arch deaconry of Middlesex there were only three p a _ rishes where the rate had been refused. In conchision, he contended, as be had set out that the true object of this bill was not to relieve the conscientious Dissenter, but to impose a double burden upon the Church of Eng land, whilst it gave to the Dissenter all the rights and privileges of that church. (Cheers.) Mr. C. FORSTER said it appeared to him that the only way in which this much-vexed question could be settled was by the means proposed by the measure before the house --namely, by the total and immediate abolition of church rates. (Hear, hear.) He, therefo re , a o m ve o r nget the trusted this bill might not be placed category of measures which were to stand cause ta t e i rernent until the conclusion of the war, be ttime w he when every that the present was more particularly all differences of religious -.. ermine ought to be taken to remove view of ellious and sectarian feeling, with , a in the hope, cementingalso, o a f reer e perfect "union to conquer, and upon a purely religio ns a n u ltimate peace, founded Mr. WIG RAM 3 bas is. (Cheers.) tuskso far from o pposed th e bill, believing th at its settling in the question at once, ,wa s rather eep the agitatio n al' Mr. VERNON, although he e * Renters being compelled tic),r:22 was no advocate for Pis - F p zt an establishment with 1 which they disagreed in although he ,was most desirous to see them relieved and a necessity, at the same time thought that as the bill of its proper pretensions, and that it wo uld ipbreoevne shor n qu it e inoperative, he could not give it hie support, After a few words from Mr. GURNEY , ', aeso in . sition to the bill, opo- Mr. BENTINCT was sorry to interpose any rem r 1 of his own, as th e h o use seemed anxious to go to a vi sion—but considering the importance of the bill to'the country at large, and that the house had therefore a right to expect the presence of some members of the Government—(hear, bear)—and perceiving that lere was not a single m em b er o f the Cabinet on the Treasury bench, he should move the aJjournment of the debate. (Hear.) Adatiral WALCOTT having said a few words onithe principle of the bill, Ler.l SEYMOUR said he voted for the second reading of the bill because he thought its principle ought to be recognised ; and lie believed there wars a Tory general feeling on both sides of the house in favour of the abolition of church rates. At the same time he had im pressed upon the Government the propriety of its coming forward and setting the question at once at rest. As there was no member of the Cabinet now present he should vote for the further progress of the measure, with a view of showing to the Government the necessity of recognising the duty of relieving Dissenters from the burden of supporting the Church. At the came time, whilst for his own part he was most anxious for the speedy accomplishment of that object, he did not think the present measure went properly to the point desired, but thought it !ought to be discussed in the hope that something better might be devised. Some further discussion then ensued, after which Mr. COWPER opposed the motion for the adjourn ment of the debate, and also explained that the mem bers of the Cabinet were unavoidably absent in council. Sir S. NORTHCOTE contended that the bill could not touch the particular grievances complained of by his own and other constituencies ; and in stead of making other provision in lieu of church rates as its title implied, it would, if carried, interpose a barrier to any other provisions being made. The bill proposed the voluntary contribution principle as a sub stitute • but he contended this would only be shifting the burden from Dissenters to Churchmen, He should, therefore, vote against the measure. Mr. SPOONER reminded the house that the motion before them was that the debate be adjourned, of which for various reasons he expressed himself in favour, more especially, however, because he thought that the house ought to have the opinion of the Government on the subject. Lord EBRINGTON who rose amidst loud cries of " Divide," hoped the house would allow the further pro gress of the bill, and thus afford the members of the Go vernment an opportunity of expressing their opinion in committee. Some further discussion then ensued, amidst reiterated cries of " Divide," in which Mr. MOWBRAT and Mr. L. DAVIStook part. The house divided, when the numbers were— For the adjournment of the debate 118 Against Majority —57 The amendment was then put from the chair, upon which Mr. L. DAVIS made some observations, amidst loud cries of " Divide," and " Oh, oh," in opposition to the bill. His remarks, however, owing to the interruption, were quite inaudible in the gallery. Although the hon. member disclaimed any intention of speaking against time, a quarter to six o'clock arrived whilst he was speaking, and the subject, by the standing orders of the house, dropped amidst loud cries of " Oh, oh." Sir W. CLAY afterwards said that, under the cir cumstances, he should renew the discussion of the bill, however late, to-morrow evening. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. On the motion of Mr. FREWEN, a return waq ordered of the number of newspaper stamps at ld. issued to news papers in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, from tho 31st day of December, 1854, to the Ist day of July, 1855 (in continuation of Parliamentary paper No. 83 of the present session). INVERNESS BRIDGE. Mr. WILSON obtained leave to bring in a bill to ex tend the provisions of an act of the 14th and 15th years of her Majesty, for rebuilding the bridge over the river Ness, at the town of Inverness. The bill was read a first time. GRAND JURIES (IRELAND). Mr. WILSON also obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend an act for enabling grand juries in Ireland to borrow money from private sources on the security of presentments, and for transferring to counties certain works constructed wholly or in part with public money. The bill was read a first time. Some other business on the paper having been dis posed of, the house adjourned shortly before six o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. ROUSE OF COMMONS.—JuLy 11.

' ➢OLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—The following communica tion was transmitted to the Mansion-house, as an answer to and comment upon an important case which was published in all the newspapers last April, rela tive to the conduct of Mr. Dalziel, justice of the peace at Colombo, in ordering some British seamen to be flogged. The case was heard before Alderman Wire, upon the application of Mr. Pelham the solicitor, who took the opportunity to state, in strong language, that such a sentence was altogether illegal : " Colombo, Ceylon, May 25, 1855. " Sir,—With reference to a discussion that took place at the Mansion House, London, on Saturday, 7th April last, and which appeared in the newspapers of Monday, the 9th April, under the head Police,' I send herewith a copy of the proceedings in the case alluded to, No. 31,562, that was decided by me on the Ist of July, 1854, and have to request that you will be so good as to give publicity to these proceedings, in order to correct the erroneous impressions that Mr. Pelham's statemeats are likely to produce. " I do not impute motives, butl do not choose quietly to submit to be thus unjustly brought before the public as having acted in such a grossly incorrect and illegal manner as to sentence a British seaman' to be flogged under the Mercantile Marine Act. Thompson and Martin were not charged under the act of Parliament, but with a common law offence committed within the jurisdiction of the police-court of Colombo, and the local ordinances No. 11 of 1843 and No. 2 of 1845 authorise the punishment awarded. "I am, Sir, your most obedient servant," " JOHN DALZIEL, "Police Magistrate of Colombo." " No. 31,562. " Police Court, Colombo, July 1, 1854. " David Reed, master of the barque Flora Macdonald, complainant, v. Charles Thompson and John Martin, articled seamen of the barque Flora Macdonald, de fendants. "Charge—Assault. and battery; striking the com planant with their fists on board of the barque Flora Macdonald, which is now at anchor in Port of Colombo, on the 30th June, 1854. " Parties present. Charge explained. First defen dant pleads guilty ; second defendant pleads not guilty, and says, Ido not call any witnesses.' " David Reed is duly sworn and states—l am master of the barque Flora Macdonald, new at anchor in the port of Colombo. The two defendants are articled sea men, part of my crew. I charge the said two defendants, Charles Thompson and John Martin, with assault and battery, striking me with their fists on the quarter deck of my ship, barque Flora Macdonald, on the morn ing of the 30th June, 1854, about 7 o'clock a.m. A party of police brought five of my crew on board in cus tody, they having been absent without leave, and the ship was ready for sea. The two defendants were of the five so put cn board. The police-boat had just shoved oJ, and was about a ship's length from the Flora Mac- donald when the assault was committed. I ordered the chief mate to set the foretopsail, preparatory to raising the anchor, as I was perfectly ready for sea. He went forward. I turned and was walking aft. First de fendant, Thompson, took me unawares, and struck me a severe blow behind my right ear, which stunned me very much. I fell against the mizen rigging and my cap fell overboard. Immeeliately after second defendant struck me twice in front of my right shoulder. Both de sired me to call back the police party ; if I did not that I would be a dead man before I was out of sight of the Island of Ceylon. Second defendant also said that the first man who laid a hand on the windlass to raise the anchor would be a dead man. I refused. Said I would not call back the police. But the police, having seen me struck, returned on board. Then I considered it better, for the safety of the ship and my own safety, to give the two defendants now present into custody. Four others went into the boat ; they had refused duty. I have a full cargo of coffee, cinnamon, oil, plumbago, and cotton. Ido not consider it would be safe to go to sea with the two defendants, or with the other four who have just been committed to prison for 12 weeks. " Defendants ask no questions. " By Police Magistrate.—When I reached Colombo my crew was in. good order. I bad a large quantity of liquids on board. Much drunkenness ensued on board. I suspect, but cannot prove it, that cargo was broached. I have had to pay about 301. for deficiencies. I ascribe all the insubordination to drunkenness among my crew since I came to anchor. (Signed) " DAVID REED. " J. DALZIEL, P. M. Wm. Batten, police-9erjeant, is duly sworn, and states : I went on board of the Flora Macdonald yesterday morning in command of a party of police, escorting five seamen, including the two defendants now present. I went on board and got a receipt from the captain, com plainant in this case for the five seamen. I shoved off from the ship's side, and when about 50 fathoms off, I saw the men walking aft. I saw first defendant go on the poop high quarter-deck and strike the captain, com plainant. In•about half-a-minute I saw second defendant go up on the poop and strike the captain, complainant. As soon as I saw the first blow struck I had the boat turned round, and went on board immediately. When second defendant was striking the captain first defendant went and struck the chief mate. I took the defendants and four others into custody, and brought them on shore. I was so close to the ship that I could distinctly identify the persons who struck the captain. Second de fendant asked me if I had seen what had been done. I said I had. Re said, "lan very glad of it ; we did it on purpose that you might see it." "No questions. (Signed) "Was. BiLTREN. (Signed) J. DALZIEL, P.M." " No defence. " Judgment. —The charge is clearly and fully preyed against the defendants, who seem to have committed this offence in order to get away from the ship. In this they will no doubt succeed, but at a cost upon which they most likely did not calculate. The conduct of the defendant Charles Thompson was that of a coward and an assassin, to go behind his captain and strike him such a blow as might h:lve fractured his skull ' • and second defendant, Martin, ex p resse d sa ti s f ac ti on that the police serjeant had seen him strike Captain Reed. This case might have been sent before the Admiralty Court, but it has been deemed advisable summarily to dispose of it, so that the Flora Macdonald, now ready for sea, may not be detained to the great disadvantage of several parties. Neither the four men convicted under the 78th section sth clause of the Mercantile Marine Act, nor the two defendants in this case, have alleged anything whatever against Captain Reed ; they have not said that they re ceived any bad treatment from him. _ _ "The said two defendants, Charles Thompson and. John Martin, are adjudged to be guilty, and are sen tenced to receive 20 lashes each on their bare backs, and to be imprisoned at bard labour for 3 months. (Signed) "J. DALZIEL, Police Magistrate." GUILDHALL.—John Pearson, a Sunday school teacher, and Joseph Crawford, a porter in the employ of an auctioneer in Chancery-lane, were placed at the bar before Alderman Hunter, the former charged with steal about 170 oz. of silver plate, value about 701., the pro perty of Mr. Jury, of 19, Coleman-street, and the lat ter with receiving the property, knowing it to be stole'. Mr. Pollard, from the office of Mr. nobler, appeared for the prosecution. From the evidence it appeared that Pearson was in the employ of the prosecutor, and some time previous to September last he ob tained access to the strong-room, in which a chest of plate, which was deposited with the prosecutor for safety, was kept, and abstracted therefrom a quantity of plate, consisting of a tea servic e an d some forks, spoons, &c., to the weight of 170 oz., which he disposed of to Crawford, who at first denied having bought the property on his own aocount, alleg ing that he merely acted as Pearson's agent in selling the plate, for which s e rvice he had received about 7L or 81. ;...he, however, subsequently stated that he bought the plate of Pearson, and his wife sold it for him. On the first examination Pearson admitted taking the plate, and said he sold it to Crawford, who held his receipts for the money. Those receipts were found in Crawford's possession, and it was urged in his behalf that he had given nearly the full value for the plate.—The deposi tions having been prepared, the prisoners, who reserved their defence, were committed for trial. CLERKENWELL.—AGGRAVATED ASSAULT UPON AN INVALID LADY.— Wm. Humphries, who described himself as a house agent and appraiser, residing at 19, King's-read, Bedford-row, appeared on his own recognisance, accepted by Mr. Tyrwhitt, for assault ing Miss Elizabeth Johnstone.—Mr. Ballantine appear ed for the complainant ; the defendant was repre sented by Mr. Morgan, solicitor. Mr. Ballantine reminded the court that on Tuesday night, the 3d of July, a person named Edward Money was given into custody for forcibly entering the complainant's room, and violently assaulting her, in which act he was aided by the defendant and another man, who evaded being given into custody at the time, but soon after Money was locked up at the police station he was bailed out, and next morning forfeited his recognisance of 1001., the bail asserting that he had just learned that he (Money) bad left for the Crimea.—Mr. Ballantine—l requested that the defendant might be remanded with heavy bail, to enable the officers to arrest Money. The complainant is still annoyed by his emissaries.—Mr. Tyrwhitt granted the remand with two solvent bail in 501. each. A warrant was also issued for the apprehen sion of Mr. Money. The complainant, who appeared in a most weakly state of health, and was accompanied by her medical adviser, was then led out of court. LAMBETH.—J antes Tacker, an urchin not quite 14 years of age, waiplaced at the bar before the lion. G. C. Norton, for final examination, on two different charges —Mrs. Charlotte Porter d e p ose d thatof i m o p n u dtehnet forenoon r obbey . r of the 26th of last month, while standing at her door, the prisoner came up to her with two flower roots in his hand and said that two boys, who had just run away, had pulled them up in her garden. While exhibiting the roots the prisoner carne close to her, and when he was gone away, she missed her purse, which she had safe but a few minutes before, con taining a sovereign and a half, and about 30s. in silver. Witness felt her purse safe but a very few minutes be fore, and she was perfectly certain the prisoner must have taken h.—Mrs. Eliza Bond, the wife of an oilman in Walworth, deposed that on the 27th of last month, the prisoner and another boy, about the same age, entered her shop, and asked to see some painting brushes that were in the window, and she had to stoop in reaching for them, and in doing so the prisoner and his companion stood the T h p e ri p so ro n s e e r en a t n r d ix his while on e ac h si d e of her, and when they were gone E he 1a missed from h er packet a canvas containin g a 181. 18s. in gold and s il ver, and which ' s u b - () felt safe a few companion giving len dence seemed very much a ff ected, - ' t m er in ed ut t e h s th e befor e shop. and said that herself and her husband had been but a very short time is busi. nets, and the money she had lost, and which she feared would be their ruin, she had saved for the purpose of paying to the wholesale dealers who had been kind enough to give them credit for the goods in which they dealt.—The prisoner, while every person iu the court felt the utmost commiseration for the poor woman, seemed perfectly unmoved and careless in the matter. He admitted to the gaoler thal he had the whole of the money in the first case, and spent it, but had only a third of the money in the second robbery.—Mr. Norton sentenced him to three months' hard labour for the last robbery, and six weeks' for the first ; and, in addition to a sovereign from the poor-box, the worthy magistrate gave Mrs. Bond a sovereign from his own purse. THAMES.—James Leahy, a stout athletic fellow, aged 18, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent assault on Captain Thomas Bridler, the master of the ship Brilliant, lying in the Regent's Canal Basin.—Fined 51., or committed in default to the House of Correction for two months. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A COLOURED BM—Mr. M. B. Garrett, of the firm of Garrett and Rygate, surgeons, of the New-road, Wellclose-square, and Watney-streat, St. George-in-the-East, came before Mr. Yardley with a boy of colour, named George Green, who, it is said, had been shipped at Jamaica on board the American ship Keying, in the capacity of cook and steward, and had been grossly maltreated on the voyage by two of the crew. The ship was about to sail, and he believed was then going down the River to Gravesend. The lad had been sent on shore without his wages, amounting to 141., and he was quite destitute.—Mr. Yardley said the lad had been before him in the morning, and then complained that he had been ill-used, and that the captain refused to pay his wages, and he told him he had no power to interfere in the matter. If the lad had been assaulted on board an American ship on the high seas, he could obtain redress only in the United States. He would re • commend Mr. Garrett to apply to the American consul on the subject.—Mr. Garrett— The lad has been to the consul, and can obtain no redress.—Mr. Yardley—My notion is that the county court has jurisdiction to en force payment of the wages if the contract terminated here, but my jurisdiction is expressly limited to British ships.—Mr. Garrett said it was a bard case on the lad, who had been recommended to his protection by his (Mr. Garrett's) brother, a clergyman in Jamaica, as a well conducted, honest, and intelligent boy.—He then retired with the lad. STATE REFORM ASSOCIATION. A meeting was held last night in Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of adopting mea sures for a reform of abuses in the state. At half-past 7 o'clock the hall was not more than half filled. Mr. Jonathan Duncan was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after some preliminary observations, said their object was, as far as they could, to reconcile conflicting opinions, and by mutual concessions to bring against the abuses of the state the combined energies of a firm and united people. The means by which they pro posed to carry out that end he would now endeavour to explain. At meetings of that kind, and held for the first time, some persons must take the initiative, which their executive committee had done, but with exclusive spirit. Their intention was to invite members from amongst those assembled to co-operate with that executive coin mitte. They did not care whether he was a blacksmith from the forge, or a weaver from the loom— (cheers) — and having been selected, he would be admitted to all the privileges of the executive committee. Ho need not point to the vast majority of those who now sat in the so.called House of Commons, who were either elected through ancestral traditions of the county in which they had lived, or in boroughs because they had interested themselves in forwarding a railway or opening a coal mine ; but the great mass of those who got into the House of Commons slid so simply because they had a balance at their banker's, which they were disposed freely to distribute among the electors. (Cheers.) The power of this country was not confined to the three king doms, but extended through every clime ; and being so, what must they think of the assurance of any statesman undertaking the superintending management of 40 colo nies, which, he believed, was a task beyond the strength of any political Hercules ? The consequence was that a great expense was entailed upon this country, for they were compelled to send out troops to prevent them from falling into civil war ; and he firmly believed that up to this time the United States would have been with this country in federal alliance had it not been for the admi nistrative ignorance of statesmen. of former times. A few years ago, too, Canada had been nearly separated from them through the mismanagement of this country.. He then adverted at great length to the way in which India had been for a great number of years governed, and contended that the people of that country had been robbed of their wealth hymen placed m authority, which had been used to purchase seats in Parliament through the means of rotten boroughs in this country. Mr. Ver non Smith, who at present held the office of President of the Board of Control, had never been in India, and knew nothing whatever as to the requirements of the people. If they wished to put the " right man in the right place," they would select some old Indian officer who had returned to this country, and who, by a residence of 25 or 30 years in India, knew the wants of that great nation. (Cheers.) That day, on looking over some documents, lie found that no man held office for administering the affairs of India on an average more than 18 mouths ; and as soon as he obtained an insight into his business, and was likely to become a useful public servant, from political changes he was removed, and was succeeded by some other persons as ignorant as ho was himself. At the Admiralty the administration of its affairs were not confined to a sailor, but to a civilian ; for Sir C. Wood was at the head of it, and he knew nothing at all about ships ; and they considered that a great evil, in not avail ing themselves of men of special experience in the de partment to which they were attached. If the people asked for an extension of the franchise, they were told they were not in a 'position nor had learnt how to exer cise it ; and if that rule was good, on what principle, he would ask, could they put a civilian at the head of the Admiralty, to have the direction of all their fleets that were sent to sea. (Cheers.) In the papers of that day he saw that Sir E. Lyons—a name that they must all re spect—had committed a great error in his promotion of the Naval Brigade,in giving a lieutenancy to a lad not 19 years of age, merely because he was the son of Sir J. Graham ; while the older officers of the Naval Brigade had been passed over, and the honours given to this young man simply because he had a friend at Court. Had they an admiral at the head of the Admiralty such things would scarcely have happened ; or if they had, his own promo tion would have been stopped by the force of public opinion. But it was not so with the civilian, who was changed from one office to another as might be required. Another great point for the consideration of the sectional committees was the subject of free trade. If they were to have free trade, why not admit free of duty the wholesome wines of Spain, France and Portugal. He held that any act of Parliament that excluded from those shores that which gave sustenance to life was oue that ought to be condemned, for a man wanted something more than bread alone, and was entitled even to some of the luxuries, if his labour enabled him to purchase them. It would be for one of their sectional commit tees to investigate the short-comings of free trade. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer pretended that he wanted the revenue derived from !spirits, let him not collect it from that poisonous beverage that injured the body and destroyed the mind. (Great cheering.) He next adverted to the question of secret diplomacy, and contended that Government had no right to conceal from the public the real facts of a case in which they were so deeply interested. In 1853, Mr. Gladstone brought forward his peace budget, and they were told that they were to be taxed to the extent of something like 50 millions ; but soon after the despatches of Sir Hamilton Seymour arrived from St. Petersburg, in which they related the conversations that had taken place between him and the Czar. The Czar said the old man at Constantinople was sick, and if he might be allowed to take care of him he would cede to England the possession of Egpyt and the Isle of Candia ; and yet all that was kept from the knowledge of the people. They were not made acquainted with the fact that Rus sia had been for a quarter of a century preparing for war, while England had not prepared at all, and the lamentable result of that secrecy had been seen in their .army before Sebastopol. He did not mean to say that everything in progress of negotiation should be made known ; but as soon as they had something tangible to deal with deeply affecting the people of this country, it ought to be laid before both houses of Parliament. (Hear and cheers.) If they considered such an associa tion necessary, he would then ask their sanction to the machinery they proposed for effecting that object. Ho hoped that they might from that evening date a happier state of things, and that the different classes, instead of by disunion playing the game of the enemy, might make a determined assault on the citadels of corruption. Mr. HERBERT iNGRAII, of the Illustrated LOndon News, moved the first resolution, and said that a financial re form was greatly needed in this country, when it was known that the expenditure at the present time reached a million a week, irrespective of the charge for the na tional debt. He complained of certain commissioners at Somerset House being paid 3,0001. or 4,0001. a year for reading the newspapers and putting their initials to a few documents; and also to the system pursued by Mr. James Wilson of getting the supplies voted at two o'clock in the morning, when all honest men ought to be in bed. He concluded by proposing, "That it is desi rable that an association be formed for the free expres sion of public opinion on the manifest abuses of the state, and the measures necessary for their reform." Mr. ITODKINS seconded the motion, which was unani mously agreed to. Several other speakers addressed the meeting, and after a committee was appointed to draw up rules for the government of the association, thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up.

(Front the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The deaths registered in London, which in May rose to nearly 1,200 in a week, and in June to nearly 1,100, fell to 926 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number in the ten corresponding weeks of 1845- 54, when corrected for increase of population, is 1,058. The present return is therefore of a favourable character. Diarrhoea was, however, fatal in 28 cases, cholera in 6 ; and one of the cases of cholera was of a severe type, as in 11 hours it killed a labourer in the Battersea work house on Friday, 6th July; one warning day of diarrhea preceded the cholera. The temperature of the Thames was 66.2 deg. during the week, and its waters were exceedingly impure ; the water supply is not yet good, and the sewers are left en trapped and ill-ventilated, while the streets are imper fectly cleansed ; so that if London is left much longer without some sensible sanitary control, the public health must inevitably soon decline, and the population be &filleted by a great epidemic. The health of London during the three months of April, May, and June has bean better than it was in the corresponding seasons of the two previous years ; but the mortality is still higher than it was some years ago, and the deaths in thirteen weeks were 14,997, or more by some thousands probably than would have hap pened had the sanitary arrangements of London been in a satisfactory state. 328 persons, nearly all children unvaccinated, died of small-pox, 182 of measles, 589 of scarlatina, 626 of hooping-cough, 505 of typhus. Small-pox prevailed most in the East and South districts, measles in the East, scarlatina generally, hooping-cough in the West and North, fever and diarrhoea in the South districts. Ery sipelas is still unusually prevalent ; and 47 mothers died of metria, or fever after childbirth, and 78 of other dis eases incidental to that state ; of diarrhoea 222 persons died ; of cholera 8. The deaths from cholera were only 11 in the corresponding season of the year 1854, which, nevertheless, subsequently witnessed a great outbreak of the epidemic. The deaths from consumption (2,126) and from broil. ehitis (1,175) exceed the average ; a result which is, per haps, referable in some measure to the preceding severe winter ; 22 deaths are ascribed directly to intemperance, 38 to•delirium tremens, 28 to poison, 86 to burns and scalds, 26 to hanging (chiefly suicides), 30 to suffocation, 89 to drowning, 188 to fractures and contusions, 19 to wounds. 3,870 men of the ages of 20 and upwards died in London in the 13 weeks—namely, 2 peers of the realm and 82 persons in the civil service, and 25 in the police and in offices of local government ; 209 officers, soldiers, and pensioners, 103 members of the learned professions, including 9 clergymen, 4 barristers, 23 solicitors, 3 phy sicians, 12 surgeons, 43 men of letters, men of science, or artists ; 478 men engaged in entertaining, clothing, performing personal offices, including 12 eating and coffee house keepers, 88 domestic servants, 60 inn servants, 15 hairdressers, 108 tailors out of 20,257, and 139 shoe makers out of 26,639. Of the mercantile class 189 men died, including 10 merchants, 1 banker, 5 stock brokers, 67 commercial clerks ; of the carrying class 484 died ; of men engaged in agriculture and in gardens 85 died. The deaths of men engaged about horses and animals, as grooms, jockeys, horsekeepers, and others, were 50 ; of men engaged in art and mechanical pro ductions, 670 ; butchers and men engaged in working and dealing in animal matters, 201 ; greengrocers, ba kers, licensed victuallers, and persons working and dealing in vegetable matters, 469 ; men working and deal ing in coal, iron, and other minerals, 308 ; labourers and others (branch of labour undefined), 237 ; men of rank or property not returned under any office or occu pation, 142 ; and 81 men had no specified occupation.

Observe opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Roy,l Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra ordinary powers that some 33 inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and al'. sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary inn. from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the above, and. the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and. known 1 miles distant; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera house., country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They aro invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, g amekeepers, and tourists. Oper a , race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power.—Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great est transparent power. The valuable advantage deriveC from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons an enabled to employ their sight at the most minute ocetz pation—can see with these lenses of a much less magnify ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing seises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired. 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
