[mpERIAL PARLIAMENT. SOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. ;4' PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time :—The Abingdon Rail wa y, an d th e Li mer i c k and Castleconnel Railway. The following bills were read a second time :--The 'Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway (Capital), the Thames Emb, nkment and Railway, the Alford and Boston Road, and the East Kent Railway. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented by hon. members from places in various parts of the kingdom against the Maynooth grant and in favour of the abolition of church rates. One of the latter, presented by Mr. Hadfield, from Sheffield, contained the signatures of up wards of 4 000 inhabitants, and another by Mr. Watson, from Hull, with the same purport, the signatures of a like number of the inhabitants. Petitions, with the same object, were laid on the table by Sir G. B. Pechell, from the inhabitants of Brighton ; also by Viscount Go clench, from Huddersfield ; and by Mr. Brocklehurst (three), from Dissenting congregations in Sheffield, against church rates. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE CRIMEAN MEDALS BY THE QUEEN. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said he wished to put a question to her Majesty's Government, but as there was no probability of his being able to obtain an answer to day he would give notice that he should ask it to-mor row. He wished to know whether there was any inten tion on the occasion of the interesting ceremony of the distribution of the Crimean medals by her most gracious Majesty the Queen, of setting apart a space for the ac commodation of members of that house who might wish to attend—(hear, hear)— and he was further desirous that some information should be afforded to the public as to how persons who might have relatives amongst those who were to receive the medal, or who might be anxious to witness the ceremony, could have an oppor tunity of doing so. (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. PHILLIMORE presented a petition from certain Episcopalian Dissenters from the Established Church of Scotland, praying that any measure for re lieving the property of English Dissenters from assess ments to the maintenance of the fabric of the Established Church in England may be extended to the property of Scotch Dissenters from the Established Church in Scot land. CHURCH RATES. measure. (Hear, bear.) The hon. gentleman then stated the outline of a bill he intended to have brought in, until he heard that the Archbishop of Canter bury had given notice of a bill i n th e ot h er house, and he remarked, in continuation, that he could not abandon the principle that every person in this coun try was bound to assist in keeping the Church of England in repair. (Hear.) They appeared to be arguing the question, not as if they belonged to our country, but as if from their belonging to different denominations they ' were of different nations. The Church of England was not the Church of a party, but the Church of the country, and he did not consider the Church could be in better hands than that of the bishops, and, as a layman, he had no wish to take the cause out of their hands. The 4th and sth sections of the present bill would have the effect of causing Dissenters to pay church rates in the shape of pew rents, the churchwardens having power by those clauses of apportioning seats to whom they thought proper, and of proceeding against them for the recovery of the rents. The hon. gentleman then took a review of the different petitions that had been presented on this subject, and drew from them generally the inference that they were adverse to the bill of the hon. bart., and in favour of the measure that had lately been introduced in another place by the Archbishop of Canterbury. If the bill of the hon. hart. passed he be lieved the best dity of England would have passed away, and her name as a re!igious nation would be among the things that were forgotten. (Hear, hear.) The n. gentleman sat down by proposing his amend ment. of doing more than anything else to►cards facilitating its settlement. The hon. gentleman denied that this was a Dissenters' questi ., u, but that of a Churchman's, and was satisfied the voluntary system would be found to answer every purpose. Lord PALMERSTON said that he fully concurred with those who had expressed their opinions that it was most desirable the question should be settled, but it was one thing to express a feeling or wish that a great gees tion should be settled, and another either to form in one's own mind the mode by which a satisfactory settlement could be obtained, or to adopt at once any proposal pro fessing to settle the question. The statements made by hon. members, both in favour and against the bill, showed that this was a question surrounded with great difficulties, and that various attempts had been made for many years by individual members of the house and Government to settle it in a manner satisfactory to all parties concerned. They had been reminded that these various attempts bad more or less failed, and that it was on that ground that the hon. baronet the member for the' Tower Hamlets proposed the present measure. As a member of the Government, he (Lord Paltnerston) could not think he would be performing his duty it he were to go headlong in support of a particular mode of arriving at a given ob ject unless his mind was satisfied it would accomplish the purpose for which it was intended, either by the pro bability of its passing into a law, and the likelihood if it did that it would accomplish the healing process it was intended to perform. Looking at the present bill, he most say he could not see in it either of these two fea tures. When talking of measures which deeply affected Mr. L. DAVIS seconded the amendment. No less the great interests, and lie might almost say the universal than 857 of all the parishes in the kingdom had given in feeling, of the country, they must consider whether the their adhesion to the Church of England, and against measure brought under discussion was likely to pass into the bill of the hon. baronet.

Sir J. SHELLEY presented several petitions from Westminster for the abolition of church rates. EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN. On the motion of Mr. E. DENISON, this bill was read a second time. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Sir W. CLAY rose to move the second reading of the above bill. He was relieved from going fully into details on this subject, partly from the frequent discus sions it had undergone, and partly from the universal conviction now prevailing in the public mind that some change was necessary in the present condition of church rates. (Hear.) The bill he had now the honour to sub mit to the house for a second reading, provided, first, for the entire abolition of church rates. Secondly, it continued church rates for a time, inasmuch as it was necessary for the liquidation of debt contracted on the faith of church rates on the authority of existing acts of Parliament. Thirdly, it provided that to the church wardens shall be confided, as heretofore, the entire charge of providing for the repairs and mainteirince of the fabric, and defraying the charges incident to the per formance of divine service. He felt it his duty to make one incidental remark on the absence of any one member of her Majesty's Government at the discussion of such an important bill. (Hear, hear.) He had the impres sion that the assent of the Government, as a Govern ment, depended upon a satisfactory explanation of its provisions, and it was not his fault if no member of the Cabinet were present. (Hear, bear.) To revert to the provisions of his bill. The second provision, as be had stated, would retain the churchwardens, and he had a twofold motive for retaining them. In the first place, he thought it most important to make as little change as possible in our existing laws and institutions, more especially when those changes affected the pecuniary interests or the habits and feelings of the people. Se condly, the proceedings of churchwardens were guided by a long series of legal decisions, therefore there would be nu new difficulty in the way of their administering their functions. He had another motive for this. Churchwardens were among our oldest parochial and municipal officers; they were really the ecclesiastical re presentatives of the parishes ; and it was their duty to look after any irregularity on the part of the incumbent, and to see that divine service was duly performed, He bad next to allude to the provisions. of the bill which affected the appointment of auditors. He would leave the appointment of auditors to the vestry for two reasons—first, because there might not be a suf ficient number of subscribers resident in the parish, and, in the next place, he wished to have the wholesome control of popular feeling over the expenditure of large sums of the people's money fur what might be p Jrhaps fantastic purposes. He did not propose to take funds from the capitular estates for the repairs of churches ; he thought there was a growing disposit , on to a better management of the church estates, and be thought, therefore, that a portion of the surplus funds might be safely applied to this purpose, on the grounds that it would be prejudicial to the voluntary principle, and also because it would require too compli cated a machinery for any private member to introduce. (Hear.) The members of the Church were in the aggre gate the richest portion of the country : did they mean to tell the world they would not pay for the support of that Church except upon compulsion ? (Hear, hear.) He would only refer to the returns of the Re gistrar-General, by which it appeared that. in the. last half century more churches were built than in the previous 500 years—namely, between 5 . .,000 and 3,000. In the first 30 years of the half century 500 churches were built, which cost 3,000,000/. ; of that sum 1,150,000/. were supplied from public funds, and 1,850,000/. from private sources, or in other words, 35 per cent. from the state, and G 5 per cent. from indivi duals. (Hear.) For the last 20 years there had been more than 2,000 churches built, to the erection of which public funds contributed 500,0001., and private finds 5,570,0001. (hear, hear) or, in other words, public funds contributed SA per cent., and private funds 013 per cent. (Hear, hear.) The hon. baronet then referred to the cases of Liverpool and other large towns where church rates were most re sisted, to show the great efforts made by the voluntaries to build and endow churches, and he believed it was undeniable that, just in proportion as church rates were abolished in any particular parts of the country, there the Church was best maintained. (Hear, hear.) The hon. baronet concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Mr. PACKE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. In doing so, the hon. mem ber said, that, with all the respect he felt for those who conscientiously differed from the Church of England, he could not consider that body as a mere sect in compari son with the other religious denominations. (Hear.) Before a bill was brought in to abolish church rates, a bill ought to have been passed abolishing state religions altogether. or to g ive the preference to some other reli gion than that of the Established Church. By this bill they were taking away one of those props by which the National Church was supported, and doing secretly what they would not do openly, undermining and destroying the Established Church of this country. (Hear.) It bad been stated by the supporters of this measure that the Church might be kept in repair by the voluntary contri butions of those who attend it ; and it was further urged in proof of it the manner in which individuals came for ward and gave their money towards the erection of these edifices, and it was no doubt a praiseworthy object in such individuals thus d o i ng so—(hear, hear)— but he thought they would not find persons to come forward so readily with their money to repair these edifices as they did to build them, for the reason of their having a feeling of pride in being connected with the building of some great monument in the country, whilst there was none in keeping it in repair afterwards. (Hear.) Having made it necessary that the clergy of the Established Church should be an educated body of men it was also necessary the people should contribute towards providing proper fabrics wherein their ministra tions might be heard. (Hear.) They had given their sanction to one, but by the bill before the house would refuse their sanction to the other, so that the temples in wla'oh they performed those duties would go to ruin. An objection had been raised to the continuance of church rates, that it was not fair to call on persons who never went inside a church to pay towards its support. If that was to be a criterion for the nonpayment of money, he should be glad to know why persons should be called ?T% Pay highway rates and county rates for the keeping in repair of parish roads and county bridges who used 4 2ither the one nor the other.

A man named Howard, ore of the navicm cmp:oyed to construct the railway at Balaklava, applied to Mr. Ar nold for advice. The applicant stated that he and others were hired in December last to go to the'Crimea. They signed articles, and left Blackwall on the sth of January. They remained at Balaklava as long as their services were required, and some of them were then sent home, but up to the present moment they had been unable to obtain their wages. He had been referred from the office of the contractors, Peto, Brassey, and Betts, to Warwick-street, Pimlico, where what was called the Crimean committe sat, but the clerks informed him Ue committee did not consider him entitled to more than the few small payments he received, amounting to under 10s. Applicant put in the agreement, which, after reciting that Pete, Brassey, and Betts had engaged with the Go vernment to lay down a railway from the port of Baft.- klava to the camp, and that Mr. Beattie was authorised by that firm to engage navvies for the work, detailed the nature of the contract, by which the men were bound to labour for a period of six months at least, at the rate of ss. per day, with rations, &c. In reply to questions from Mr. Arnold, The applicant said that they were discharged because the railroad was so near completion that they were not required. There was no complaint against them for misconduct. They worked eight or ten weeks in the Crimea, and bad 2s. 6d. given them at Gibraltar, and at Malta. Applicant had also an allotment ticket for 71., to he deducted from his wages, to pay sums that he owed while he was away. Mr. Arnold. having inspected the contract, said it was a clear engagement for six months certain, and be was willing to grant a summons against the contractors, who had by their payment of a portion recognised the con tract ; but he thought the better course before he did so would be to send to them, to ioquire whether they had any desire to explain the matter, as it might save much trouble. Mr. Arnold accordingly despatched a messenger to the office of Messrs. Peto and Co., and adjourned the case until another day. CLERKENWELL.—Mr. Henry TVebster, of 9, Albert-terrace, Camden-town, and Mr. John Gray, watch-toolmaker, of Clerkenwell-green, were brought up for final examination betore Mr. Tyr whitt, shitrged with having a large amount of stolen property, consisting of watches, jewellery, &c., without being able to account for its possession. sergeant Jackson, 11 H, said—After the prisoner Gray was admitted to bail on the first examinatio❑ he proposed through his solicitor, Mr. Wakeling, to give information as to whom he bought the watches of. He took Sergeant Mason and myself down to Bethnal green, to a tavern there. He mentioned the name of one person whom I well knew as suspected for some time. We (the officers) waited outside, and we then saw Mr. Gray and his bail, Mr. Symons, come out with a third person. They stood talking together, and we pass ed very close to them. Just as we turned the corner of the street the deaf man (Mr. Symons) rushed to us and said, "That is one of them." However, before we could get round the corner, Gray and the other man had passed into another street, and then we met Gray return ing, and he said, "You should have stopped him at once; that was the man." We remonstrated with him as to his duplicity, and then he proposed to take us to the man's house. He did so, and although we waited until 5 o'clock in the morning no one came. Mr. Lawford, the original prosecutor, again gave evi dence of finding more of his watches sold by Webster to customers in the country. Mr. Wakeling at once admitted that his client, Gray, had bought the watches legitimately in business ; he gave as much information as to the parties he bought them of as he could ; he admitted that the watches found at Webster's had been sold to that man regularly. Mr. Lewis elaborately and most clearly pointed out the thorough business pactice of his client, who, from the first, kept his books in a most straightforward way. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in commenting on the case, remarked that it was one that interested the general trading community of the country, more especially the manufac turing watchmakers and jewellers, numbers of whom crowded the court, and who, doubtless, felt an interest in the investigation. As the matter stood the conduct of Webster was without reproach, and he could not in any way implicate him in the matter ; but he was glad that the grand jury system existed, which would serve as a check on the misdirection or inisthought of the magis trate ; theref re ha left the prosecutors to their remedy in that way. As to the prisoner Gray, he should commit him for trial without prejudice, requiring a bail in two sureties of 2001. each. The bails were tendered and accepted. Mr- Lewis, on behalf of his client, agreed that all the property seized at Mr. Webster's house should be held by the police pending any inquiry. As on the previous examinations, numbers of country gentlemen were present from &dale, in Yorkshiro, where Webster had for many years carried on a private and pros perous business, to testify to his honourable character. THAMES.— Layton E. Hopper, 26, a shipwright, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, at the Thames Police-court, charged with settin; fire to a float lag battery constructed for the Government. The evidence taken before Mr. Ingham and Mr. Bo .vd ler, the second clerk, was read over by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, and on the testimony of Mr. Campbell, the prosecutor's cashier, that the fire spread rapidly along the timbers under the vessel from the bow to the stern, being read, Mr. I%rdley asked in which direction the wind was blowing, and the witness replied from the north-east, in a direction from the bow to the stern. Mr. Ballantine asked the %%itritss whether a person named Epworth, a blacksmith, was in Mr. Russel. .'s ern ploy at the time the fire broke out, and employed on the battery? Mr. - Campbell—There was a Mr. Epworth in our employ. Mr. Ballantine.—l don't care whether he was Mr. Epworth, or what his first, name was. _ PAIRS. Mr. Campbell.—Mr. Epworth is our foreman iron ship-builder. Mr. Ballantine again subjected Coullie to a long and searching cross-examination. - TELLERS Davies, J. L. Packe, C. FOR. AGAINST.

Mr. C'arkson said, he would put Mr. Howie, the su perintendent of the K division, who bad charge of this case, into the box, and he would swear tat he had every expectation of bringing other evidence affecting the pri soner, and that the witnesses could not be called that day without injury to the ends of justice. Mr. Billantine - --I am instructed to call witnesses for the prisoner, but it ought to be made known publicly, fir the satisfaction of the prisoner's friends that I cannot call them till the case for the prosecution is close;l. Mr. Yardley—That is so ; and the prisoner's friends ought to be satisfied. Mr. Pelham, solicitor for the prisoner, said he had the most complete alibi ever known. The prisoner--I have witnesses to prove where I was when the fire broke out, and up to 11 o'clock at night. I can also prove the witness Coullie shook hands with me and asked me to get him into a society about a month ago. Mr. Ballantine—l have so much reliance on my wit nesses that I will call them here, whether the magis trate determines on committing the prisoner or not. Mr. Yardley—l shall come to no determination till the whole case is before me. The prisoner is remanded until Wednesday next. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

AN INCOME-TAX COLLECTOR.—One of the collectors of the income tax in a district near Birmingham has been committed for trial at \ Var wick assizes, on a charge of embezzling sums of mo.aey collected by him on account of the income tax. He bad returned a number of houses void on which the tax had been collected, but in the subsequent half-year he had paid the amount in full. THE IRON TRADE.-=-13:111MINGHAM, Wednesday.—The depressed state of the ir•)n trade has been again verified by the failure of another tortensive establishment. Messrs. Davies, of Westbromwicti, long known as one of the leading firms in South Staffordshire, have issued circu lars fur a meeting of their c,-editors at the Queen's Hotel, in this town, on Friday nei :t. Their liabilities are un • derstood to be very heavy, b ut, as in other cases which have recently occurred, it is hopel that arrangements will be made by which bankruptcy may be avoided. It is useless to conceal the fact that other houses are freely spoken of, and that credit at the present moment is in a very unhealthy condition. A firm extensively engaged in the tube rna,nt.facture was to-day reported in difE. cuities. SINGULAR CASE OF A M ISSING L 'ETTER AND C HEQUE.— During the period of the last Liverpc `ol election (in March) a letter was addressed by Mr. Hud 'ion, M.P., to Mrs. Cox, 29, Shaw-street, Liverpool. Th letter contained a cheque for 101. 10s., being the half. yearly payment of dividends to which the lady was entit led under a settle ment of which Mr. Hudson was trustee. Mrs. Cox, however, does not reside at 1 Zo. 29, but at No. 74, in Shaw-street, and the letter, instead of finding her, was delivered at the hon.s.e of Mr Joseph Cox, a chandelier - manufacturer al xi brass-finisher, residing in Renshaw -street. Mr. Cox according to his own statement, wrote to Mr. liudso.2 for an explana tion ; but receiving no reply, he canto to the somewhat singular con;:lusion that the money bad boat: sent to in fluence his vote, and p!acedl the in atter in the hands of the Reform Association, What steps they took in the matter have not transpired ; but it t urns out that a little time after Mr. Cox, through a Mr. V allance, obtained the money for the cheque. Mr. Hudson, in answer to his inquiries, having learned from W.rs. Cox that the remit tance had not reached her, cattlJed inquiries to be made, which result e d i n the apprehi nsion of Cox on Saturday. On Monday he was broue ut before the magistrates, charged with having felonic , us iy a ppropriated the letter and cheque. The case WV remanded. CARLISLE CANONRIES BILL.

A day or two since we experienced a treat of a very dazzling arid no less gratifying nature--the inspection of some "costly jewels, rich and rare," which are about to be forwarded to the Paris Exhibition by Mr. Han, cock, the fashionable jeweller, of Bruton-street, These articles cannot fail to excite admiration, not only from their excesssive value, hut as specimens of beauti ful workmanship. They are of such surpassing costliness and beauty as to need but a word of description. The most valuable is a ,girdle valued at 50,0001. In the centre is the celebrated blue Hope diamond, and on each side two very rich. rubies. This dia mond is the only one of the kind in. existence. It was purchased by his late Majesty George IV., when Prince Regent, for 30,0001. Next in value is a stomacher, valued 20,0001. There are four pendant diamonds, the largest of which is estimated to be worth 8,000 guineas. In the workmanship of this article great taste is displayed. Another costly gem is a necklace worth 10,000 guineas. The lower portion of this necklace may be detached and worn as a brooch. A more beautiful ornament has rarely been seen. There is also a diamond tiara, worth about 5,0001., in which are , some very fine emeralds. Last, but not least, so far as taste and beauty are con, cerned, is an emerald and diamond stomacher. The diamonds are interlaced, and form a glittering and graceful trellis work. We understaryl that these rich and artistic ornaments were submitted a few days ago to her Majesty, who' was pleased to express her ad. miration of them. They will, no doubt, form pro minent objects of attraction at the Paris Exhibitior, not only from their intrinsic value, but because the French are peculiarly fond of tasteful articles of bijouterie. In addition to these—which are, by the way, only a por tion of the beautiful articles intended for the Exhibition, the aggregate amount of which will reach the enormous sum of 200,0001.—we were shown a great curiosity, one which would delight the vision elan antiquary. We refer to the identical jewel of the Order of the Garter worn by the unhappy Charles I. on the morning of his execution. Whilst, on the one hand, this relique of the unfortunate monarch excites a train of historical associations, on the other, viewed as an ornament, it serves to display the great advancement which has been made since its day in the department of manufacture from which it emanated, when compared with the splendid achievements of Mr. Hancock. • THE LATE COMMITMENT FOR ALTERING VOTING • PAPERS.—Since the commitment, of Messrs. Ball, Giles, and Arding, from Lambeth police court on Wednesday last, the two former for 14, and^the latter for 21 days, to the House of Correction, Wandsworth, every effort had been mad e t o o b ta i n their discharge, 'but up to the present they have been unavailing. Last evening the parties still remained in prison. THE GRENADIER GUARDS AND THE WAR IN THE EAST. —The services rendered by two men of the Grenadier Guards in the East are worthy of particular mention— we mail Sergeant Daniel Owen and Private Isaac Church, of the 2d battalion of the above regiment, to whom were presented, a few da3s since, by their colonel, the Prince Consort, medals for meritorious conduct in the field. The medals in question, it must be borne in mind, are quite distinct from those known as the Crimean medals, with which both men are to be presented on Friday next by the Queen. Private Church had been but four years in the army ; at the battle of Alma he was engaged as a pioneer, and on the accomplishment of a certain duty, had the option of retiring to the rear, and out of danger. On seeing his comrades of the Guards so cut down at Inkerman, he seized the musket and pouch of a wounded soldier, and, full of freshness and fury, went int) the heat of the action. His conduct so attracted the attention of the Duke of Cambridge, that he most favourably reported him to the Prince Consort. Church lost his right hand in action, and on Friday last was discharged on a pension of 10d. per diem. The Prince Consort told him on parade that he would lay his case before the Queen, and do his utmost to obtain for him a !pension of ls. per diem. His Royal Highness added, he would also endeavour to find him some em ployment suited to his present condition, for which Church expressed his thanks. Church is a Bedfordshire man by birth. Sergeant Owen was one of the Duke of Cambridge's favourite sharpshooters —or, rather game keepers, as the officers facetiously termed those of his class. The sergeant had been for some days on the look out for a man who had picke I off several of ours. He at length winged him, and carried his prisoner alive to the Duke of Cambridge, dryly observing, " I have brought your Royal Highness a live 'un at last."
