The following bills were read a second time The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Railway (Capital), the Thames Ewb. nktnent a.,,d Railway, the Alford and Boston Road, and the East Kent Ralway. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented by hon. members from places in various parts of the lingdoin against the Maynooth grant and in favour of the abolition of church rates. One of the latter, presented by Mr. Hadfield, from Sheffield, contained tie signatures of up wards of 4,000 inhabit ants, an d ano th er by Mr. Watson, from Hull, w ith t h e same purport, the signatures of a like number o f th e i nhabitants. Petitions, w i t h t h e same object, were laid on the table by Sir G. B. Pechell, from the inhabitants of Brighton; also by Viscount Go derich, 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 ser most gracious Majesty the Queen, of setting apart a space for the ac commodation of members of that housa 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. Lord R. GROSVENOR presented a petition from All Saints, Poplar, complaining of church rates, that if the church rate is not sufficient to pay the ministers stipend the church, however, is liable for it, and praying that some clause might be inserted in the bill now before the house on church rates, that may take away the lia bility of the churchwardens. 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 maintenance 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, hrar.) He had the impres sion that the assent of the Governmc it, es a Govern ment, depended upon a satis‘actory explanation of its provisions, and it was not his fault if no member of the Cabinet were present. (Hear, hear.) To revert to the provisions of his bill. The second provision, as he 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 posihle 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 no 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 had 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 for what might be perhaps fantastic purposes. He did not propose to take funds from the capitular estates for the repairs of churches ; he thought there was a growing disposition to a better management of the church' estates, and he 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 '2,000 and 3,000. In the firmt 30 years of the half century 500 churches were built, which cost 3,000,0001. ; of that sum 1,150,0001. were supplied from public funds, and 1,850,0001. from private sources, or in other words, 35 per cent. from the state, and 65 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 fends contributed 500,0001., and private funds 5,570,0001. (hear, hear) or, in other words, public funds contributed 81 per cent., and private funds 91i 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. (Rear, hear.) The hon. baronet concluded by moving 'the second reading of the bill. [LEFT SITTING.] LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS DAY.)

THE FALL OF THE ATLAS IRON-WORKS. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.-CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, Mr. Polgase r the proprietor of the Atlas Iron-works and Government shell manufacturer, whose premises in the Borough road fell and buried several of the workmen on Monday last, as previously announced, with assistance•of - --seveta pkactical s urveyort r atortde :a most seitchini quiry . for- the .purpose -of,. if ,possible, finding put the cause of such a lamentable occurrence. The result .of the inquiries, and the inspection of the remaining_pora" - tions of the girders still adhering -to the walls, at Mice shOWed the precise cause of the fail. Mr. -Thomas PolgaFie stated that his: brother, the pro .- 'Yrietor-• of ;thew o rks, h a d been; some time back - pro.- seeded against by the CrOWn for.not complying-with the recent act—of :Parliainerit, making-A compulsory for furnaces to consume their -own smoke. Having Go vernment work on hand, such as the casting of bomb shells for the East, an d knowing the importance to the country of getting the same finished as soon as possible, the proprietor made the necessary inquiries as to whether the alterations that were required to con form with the act of Parliament could be carried out with perfect safety, so as not to jeopardise either the several workmen or even the building. The advice he then received was to this effect, that a new and larger boiler was required, but that an iron pillar standing on a turned arch which covered the former boiler used would have to be removed ; but providing a tarnpOrary wooden column sufficiently strong w as used during the removal of the iron one no danger need be apprehended. Consequently a timber plank of 12 inches square was placed on the old arch, and which ran as hills as to support the main wooden girder that ran the ex treme length of the premises. The great heat of the ad joining furnace, or some other unexplained cause, made the timber shrink, and at the moment of the accident, Mr. Thomas Polgase, who was within a foot or so of the prop, saw it fall out of the perpendicular, and, as may be supposed, made a hasty retreat, giving, as he proceeded, a general alarm. Before, however, he had time to ac complish his object, the girder, which was 99 feet long, snapped short in the centre, which caused floor after floor to fall to the ground in rapid succession, making the walls on either side to swing precisely like a ship in a heavy sea. It appears a perfect miracle how so many of the nu merous workmen could have effected a safe retreat ; and it is gratifying to know that a vast number received not the least injury, and the proprietor's brother, who stood in so mach danger, got out of the premises unscathed. A workman named Joseph Brady, who was attending at the side of his lathe, on seeing the floor bending, at once made an attempt to get to the window, for the purpose of jumping out ; but not having sufficient time, he lay down at the side of the machine, which was ex ceedingly fortunate, as the gi r d ers and wheels fell in a slanting form, and resting on the lathe at one end, the man's life was preserved, although the millstones, of several hundred pounds weight each, kept rolling over the temporary covering of his head. The roll was yesterday morning called, and, with the exception of those in the two hospitals, it was ascertained that no persons were missing. Upon making inquiries last evening at the hospitals, it was ascertained that the man who it was at first ex pected was mortally wounded, and was carried to the hospital in such an insensible state that the authorities of the institution were‘afraid to even ask him his name, lest it might hasten his dissolution, in the course of a few hours recovered sufficiently from the shock he ex perienced to be taken home. The whole of the others, though suffering exceedingly from the injuries they sus tained, are likely to recover under the excellent treat ment they receive in the hospitals. It will no doubt be satisfactory to the country to know that the contract entered into by Mr. Polgase with the Government, for the manufacturing of a certain amount of shells for the Crimea, will not in the least degree be delayed, as the proprietor, having other large works at Stepney, &c., gave orders for carrying on the casting of the instruments of war at the last-named place, which was accordingly commenced yesterday morning at an early hour. It is the opinion of the firm that the ruins can be cleared, a temporary building erected, and the business resumed in the course of a week, or a few days later at the most. Although the loss of property will amount to several thousand pounds, it will not reach near as much as was at first anticipated, owing to the timber rafters shelter ing to a great extent some of the lathes and other valu able machinery. The millstones, with few exceptions, ' have not received much injury, but a large drilling ma chine of great value has been completely knocked to pieces, and several p a p er -f o ld ing machines h ave ken either destroyed or reduced to mis-shapen masses. A. vast crowd of persons flocked to the scene of the catastrophe during the whole of yesterday, but owing to the dangerous state of the remaining portion of the walls no one unconnected with the works was allowed by the police to enter. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE TVEEK. ( From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The returns of mortality continue to show the effect produced on the public health by an ungenial spring. The number of deaths recorded in London in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,183, almost the same as that of the preceding week. If the deaths had been the same in proportion to population as, taking the average, they were at the beginning of May in the ten years 1845-1854, they would not have been more than 1071. During the last fortnight the excess of deaths 1 has been about 15 in a day above the estimated number. The mean temperature has been, more or less, below the average every day, except two, since the 20th of April, ( and last Saturday it was 9 deg. less than the' average. The total number of deaths referred last week to dis eases of the respiratory organs was 225 ; the average number in corresponding weeks of previous years, cor rected for increase of population, 176. Of those 225 cases 94 were caused by bronchitis and 95 by pneu monia, and the close coincidence which appears in the results of the last two weeks deserves to be noticed, for each of these diseases was in the previous week fatal in 94 cases. In the colder weeks of winter bronchitis always bad a large majority. 28 persons died last week of smallpox, 8 of whom were above 20 years of age. Scarlatina carried off 35 children, hooping-cough 47, croup 10, measles only 9. The mortality from phthisis was great, 182 having sunk under that malady. Four deaths from scarlatina occurred in Islington East, and a man died of "English cholera," after a short illness, in Bethnal-green. Last week the births of 909 boys and 769 girls, in all 1,678 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,472. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean read ing of the barometer was 29.636 in. The mean tempe rature of the week was 47.6 deg., which is 4.4 deg. below the average of the same week in 33 years. The mean temperature was below the average on every day, ex cept Thursday, on which day it was the same as the average. The highest temperature in the week occurred on Thursday, when it was 65.8 deg. ; the lowest was 31.5 deg., on Wednesday. The mean dew-point temperature was 40.0 deg., and the difference between that and the mean temperature of the air was 7.6 deg. The wind blew from the south-west, except on Tuesday and Saturday, when it was in the north-west. The amount of rain in inches was 0.52, more than half of which fell on Friday. On the afternoon of that day there was a heavy thunder. storm, with vivid flashes of lightning. The electrical ap paratus exhibited very strong positive and negative elec tricity, with volleys of strong sparks and galvanic cur rents. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

I remain your obedient servant, GEORGE SMITH. THE HOROSCOPE OF THE EMPEROR OF FRANCE, As published by Mr. G. T. F. Smith, in the London .Sun, and also in the local and provincial papers, April, 1852. It is well known that this distinguiShed and illus. trious personage is a firm believer in destiny, and, like unto his renowned uncle, Napoleon 1., confides in the influence of causes far beyond all human control ; hence his reply to the Senate, on receiving their congratu lations on his providential escape from the red hand of the murderous assassin—" I fear no assassins : so long as I shall not have fulfilled my mission there is no danger." Here w e f u l ly comprehend the ascendancy of mind in Napoleon. The desperate intent of the assassin failed, P h s e a , s d e t l ryhvaeatd his fully and his valuabl e lif e was hap tPt a i l o y zi e i s s ta u b e li t sh oo in m g pl t e h te e ,, v , ie a w nd s h th e e e r n e: t e i rl the d i n re for T e h ` e ` n s o eo d re a tfl n giner.u"ence unto which extraordinary results can be traced and are attributable, constitutes a basis on andthe penalties absence ef adv e which the success o f all human affairs becomes depen dent, to r sen d ,iinsatesmoouechneayserthoeeopuarinisu our e n t ex astral testimony, and vice versa. It should be under stood that at the time of birth the impress of the stars or planets from the sources of reference illustrative of the storms and calms of life ; and the progression of those ponderous bodies to certain angles, in connection with that impress of the natal period, whether discor dantly or harmoniously configurated, health, life, and consequences, all assimilate and become manifest in the position of the native, and may be predicted, provided the scientific attainments of the student are equal to the test, the laws of planetary motion being irrevocable. Although the distances of the planets are remote, every atom of this earth becomes subject to their operating electric power, an agent boundless in the ambient of universal life. From the above preface, descriptive of the mode of my conclusions to a certain extent, I shall now proceed or refer to a series of predictions in proof of what is above advanced, although my communications upon astral science for a number of years may render any such additional proof unnecessary. First, in the month of April, 1552, soon after (when consecutively viewed) the "coup d'etat," when enemies and opponents to the then state of affairs rendered pacific conclusions, under the doubts and fears of the time,rather problematical, my deductions from Louis Napoleon's horo scope were nevertheless to the following effect :—That from the commencement of 1853, and during spring and summerofthat year, " new ho nours and distinctions would be conferred upon him," and that he would attain the summit of ambition's bound, amid the blandishments and congratulations of his subjects, that all would be sun shine, and " merry as a marriage bell." The latter was given in italics, in consequence of the directions being those from whence marriage is generally inferred. The above deductions were literally fulfilled ; for under their potent and benign power he was elected Emperor of France and his marriage solemnised. We now come to other predictions of converse charac ter, and import contained in the same paragraph, not a little startling to the contemplative and .philosophic ob server. The prediction in question embraces the autumn of 1854, to Dec. 21st, during which adverse directions were singularly clashing with those of opposite tendency, involving responsibilities, nationally and personally. My prediction stated that " disastrous consequences would occur, and that his life would be in imminent peril." So far the published prediction, and on the result being fully matured, we find France plunged inn4r, no matter what the consequences may be that led to such an event ; and on the 17th of October, 1854, , the f a il ure o f ' the first bombardm en t • and though the gallantry o f h er troops gave brilliant achievements, war is, nevertheless, a calamity, for it exhausts the blood and treasure of a nation, and is always indicated by a malignant direction in the horoscope of the Sovereign ; hence I applied the word "disastrous," as the nearest interpretation I could give to the operating influence. The extent of adverse teclimony did not cease with the autum of 1854, but is continuous in the spring of 1855, the ultimatum of which we find to be the attack of the assassin on the life of his Majesty. Thus we have a series of predictions, with their corresponding results, published to the world three years prior to their maturity. It is my intention to make further observations upon, the natus of this dis tinguished gentleman, whose mental resources range far above the ordinary run of mankind. In passing, I shall at this time state that, in the year 1857, not very wide of the autumn, another °Horst epoch ,presents itself; adverse rays prevail and adverse results and tests will form the accompanying proofs, when time matures the scene thus predicted, though peril, hostility, and violence will engage the Emperor's attention, the imperial dignity remains powerfully. sustained ; but, as before remarked, I intend to give further computations. It is worthy of note to observe the order of this chap ter cf prescience. The period (April, 1852) when the fever of public opinion rose high, and enmity rife, and position equivocal, the bloom of pacific rays redundant with honours, were cheerfully accruing towards the dis tant year, when all promised by the directions would Le consummated. Confiding in the paramount influence, culminating even with his marriage, I submitted the prediction, and time truthfully gave the incontrovertible proof from the commencement of 1853 to the summer of that year—all my predictions promised became a matter for history to record. Again I would advert to the year 1854, when the first moiety of my autumnal predictions began, and assimi lated with the scenes of the day, and from that com mencement to within six short months the entire of the predictions are collectively confirmed. I would ask, is it a matter of surprise that a mathematical and philo sophical mind like Napoleon's should confide in his star of destiny ? for being acquainted with the laws of astral motion, he possesses the moral courage to avow it. The higher branches of astral science have attracted that array of talent and versatility of genius of men whose names do honour to the pages of British history. The unacquainted portion of society are too apt to censure what they do not understand, too apt to permit others to think for them, who pretend to dictate, with nothing but prejudice for their pedestal, proving the old adage— " That fools rush on Where angels fear to tread."

DUDLEY, Monday Night.---For the last three days Dudley has been in unusual excitement, consequent on the commission of a very deliberate act of murder on Saturday, and the examination and committal of the murderer to:day. The murderer is Joseph Meadows, a whitesmith by trade, and he had bound himself for four years to a Mr. Rana, at Round Oak, with whom he boarded and lodged. His victim was Mary Ann Mann, who was servant atthe Sailor's Return, public-house, at Kates Hill, and who was the daughter of honest and respectable parents. On Saturday morning the murderer left home, taking with . him a carbine and some powder and shot belongingtc his master, who is a member of the Worcestershir e .
