It fell, by right of his Ministerial position, to the lot of the youngest Baron in the House of Peers to move in that august , assembly the thanks, to our forces out in China, of the hereditary branch of the Legislature. Lord HERBERT of LEA, as her MAJESTY'S Secretary of State for War, had thus the peculiar gratification of making his maiden speeCh among his Peers upon an occasion involving indirectly a eulogium upon the conduct of his own most responsible and most diffi cult Administrative Department. The recollection of the manner in which, the really admirable manner in which, the War Department under his guidance has conducted the whole of the details of this war against the Chinese—a war carried on at the remotest extremity of this hemisphere—goes far to wipe away the recollection of the frightfully contrasting mismanagement of that far larger but far less remote contest lately waged against the power of another gigantic empire, that of the Russian autocracy, upon the fatal plains of the Crimean peninsula, upon the deadly wintry plateau under the granite walls and giant earthworks of Sebastopol. No more green coffee berries yonder in China, as formerly in the Crimea, served out as rations to our soldiery ! No more naked frostbitten feet among our veterans, while bard by in the hold of some costly transport was mouldering away use lessly a forgotten store of boots and shoes ! All these despicable and miserable blunders have become now, thanks be to HEAVEN, as much, calamities of the past as though they had occurred to " frighten the isle from its propriety," not seven years ago, but a whole hundred. Not in vain did our land and sea forces go through those appalling privations in the Crimean cam paign —those wonderful and still incompre hensible privatiOns—which are yet borne like some evil nightmare in the national remembrance. In compensation for that gloomy and pathetic story comes now, after the lapse of but a very few years indeed, the radiant record of this swiftly accom plished and resplendently successful campaign in China, ending in the advance of the Allies upon the mythic capital, in the flight of the celestial EMPEROR into Tartary, in the capture of Pekin, and in the dictation of the most triumphant terms of peace by her Britannic MAJESTY'S representatives ! No wonder with such a history as this to epitomize that his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief found last evening in the House of Lords a congenial theme for his soldierly panegyrics. No wonder that in the House of Commons its veteran leader, the Noble Viscount now Prime Minister of Eng land, found in that same fruitful theme, the victo rious expedition of our forces in China, a subject upon which his practised oratorical powers might well delight to expatiate. As already indicated in these remarks, those thanks of the British Parlia ment were, as a matter of course, voted both in the Lord and Commons unanimously. The Ministerial motion for these Thanks, made in the House of Lords by the Secretary for War, and in the House of Commons by the First Lord of the Treasury, being, accordin g to a graceful Parliamen tary custom upon ' these occasions, seconded in due form both in Lords and Commons by the respective leaders there of her MAJESTY'S OppositiOn. One exceptional objection raised unhappily in both Houses—in the Lords by the Earl of DERBY, and in the• Commons by Mr. VINCENT SCULLY !—tended, we grieve to remem ber, to mar the prevailing cordiality of the other wise unstinted approbation expressed - by all parties alike in both- branches of- the Imperial Legisla ture. This one exceptional objection having refe rence to what we ourselves have all along regarded as, on the contrary, the one bright particular spot shining luminously in the retrospect of this our last (pray Heaven it may really and truly prove our last) Chinese Expedition ! The avenging destruction— namely, by fire of the Chinese EMPEROR'S Summer Palace outside the Walls of Pekin the avenging destruction of that gigantic palace of Yuen-Ming-Yuen, seven miles in length and crammed with the spoil of centuries—that vast conflagration by which the soldiers of England, in the most signal and effective manner that was at all practicable (and this without the destruction of human life!) avenged the infernal atrocity of the murder, in cold blood, and in viola tion of all the laws of nations, of BRABAZON, and ANDERSON, and BOWLBY, axd ethers of our brave and lamented countrymen ! China will never forget that lesson—we may be sure of that. It is better than a score of victories. It is a beacon that will cast a salutary glare of warning henceforth before the eyes of those savage and ruthless Tartars —bidding them beware, lest by any repetition of their old atrocities they may light effectually in the same way, another such stupendous and, as it might prove perchance the next time, deadly and far more devastating conflagration ! Our gallant fellows, both of the land and sea forces out in China, have now duly received their meed of approbation from Imperial Parliament. Last evening the thanks of bOth houses were accorded to the victors under Lieut.-General Sir HOPE GRANT and Vice-Admiral Sir JAMES HOPE, cordially, earnestly, and unanimously. Together with the names of these conspicuous " brothers-in-arms and rivals in renown," the military, and maritime commanders-in-chief of the British Expedition, were associated the names of their . distinguished lieutenants, Rear-Admiral LEWIS JONES. and Major-Generals Sir ROBERT NAPIER and Sir JOHN 3IICIIELL, who, by their combination of skill, teal, and intre pidity, had enabled her MAJESTY'S Ambas sador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary, the Earl of ELGIN, in conjunction with the diplomatic representative of our ally, the Emperor of the FB.ENCII, to bring the late remote and formidable war - with the Tartar Government of the Chinese to sa very brilliant and satisfactory a termination. The tale that had to .be told anew last night in the Lords and Commons was one certainly which, however familiar at this moment in all its details, could not be listened to by any body of patriotic Englishmen without its inspiring emotions of unaffected and enthusiastic admiration. For it can be asserted without a particle of exaggeration that, from first to last, in .every one of its successive stages, and this, too, in reference to each and all of the various departments of the public service, the recent war with China was conducted with a dis play of prudence, of forethought, of promptitude, and valour, reflecting the highest credit upon Army and Navy, upon the marines, the medical staff, and the Commissariat. Never has any warlike expedition left these shores so fully and admirably equipped. Never has any expeditionary force despatched from England so rapidly and triumphantly overcome all the varied difficulties it had to encounter, and this at the opposite ex tremity of the globe, advancing from success to SUGCESS at the pas de charge, from the point of de ' barkation up to the very walls, into the very centre bf the mysterious, the almost fabulous, and un questionably to European troops the hitherto im penetrable city of Pekin. It is the absolute com• pleteness of the victory which has been thus at length achieved by the Allied Powers over the Tartar Government of the Chinese Empire, which jttifies u s in the hope now entertained that the wlr recently terminated by the united efforts of Sir - 1101. i GRANT'S tactics and of the Earl of ELGIN' S diplomacy, .LGIN dlplomacy, may really put an end to these deadly periodical contests between the most poplions race of Asiatics and those two Western Powers, who are the recognised Chiefs and Champions of European civilisation. Thrice within very little more than the last score of years these woeful conflicts have been necessitated 'out there in China. Considerably less than a quarter of a century has elapsed since the first of those three deplorable causes of collision between the Asiatics and the Europeans, between Chinese, or rather Tartars, and Englishmen, resulted in the discomfiture of the councils of the Manchou Amongst the not uncommon clerical scandals o the day is that of clergymen refusing Christian interment, in certain cases where conscience or bigotry scents a case for tormenting the relatives of the deceased. The Rubric furnishes them with three classes of unfortunates—those who "die un baptised, or excommunicated, or hive laid violent hands on themselves." Over these it forbids them to perform the burial service. The common law, on the other hand, requires them to perform the service over anythat are buried in the churchyard; fromwhich the doctors of the law have deduced the conclusion that the Rubric defines the class of persons who can be brought to the churchyard for burial. This would seem to be, indeed, setting the Church in its sectarian sense, as in the good old Tory toast, before the King or the State. Such, however, we believe to be the fact. And as the freehold of the churchyard is held to be in the parson, although it confessedly belongs to the parish, it would seem that the parson could even prohibit the interment of a corpse of the classes of persons referred to from being buried at all. Sir G. C. LEWIS could not expect to please every one by his proposal last night, but now it is before us, all we can say is that we accept it, as about as good as, and not worse than, half a dozen which might have been made. Here are four seats long ago forfeited, for reasons which should place many more seats in the market. How shall they be allotted ? Scotland clamours for more, with a popu lation less than that of London ; Ireland, of course, wants something when anything is to be had ; and then English counties and boroughs, on different grounds, claim the whole of the four seats, and boroughs even seem likely to quarrel with boroughs over them. As good a plan as any might have been to put the names of the claimants all into a bag, and let Mr. BENTINCK and Sir G. C. LEWIS draw alternately ; or shake them up well, blindfold Mr. BRIGHT, and let him draw for all. Perhaps the Cabinet did do something of the sort, for no particular principle seems to have guided their choice. It seems, however, quite good enough ; it has one merit at least, neither of the two great counties, and neither the metropolitan nor the com mercial borough, will be likely to be guilty of the sins of the boroughs whose privileges are to be conferred on them. Politically the arrangement seems fair enough. South Lancashire has proved that by due exertion it can return two Tories, though supposed to be safe for the Liberals. The West Riding has been guilty of the same offence in days not long past, yet the Liberal Government hands over a seat apiece to these im mense populations—from five to eight hundred thousand each, even omitting their crowded towns. What the politics of the two new boroughs would be, we presume no one would yet venture to predict. The West-end of London ought to have a number of influential upper class voters, not very likely to be liberal overmuch ; and if Birken head be a commercial place, its parent borough, Liverpool, has plenty of Toryism in it. As a party question, therefore, the proposal of Sir G. C. LEWIS ought to pass easily enough. Now, it strikes us that a good deal of reform might be done, without a Reform Bill, in the way of tranferring seats to constituencies most deserving them. Several boroughs are now awaiting their sentence from the House of Commons—Gloucester, Wakefield, and Berwick have all to be called up for judgment. Might not their punishment be something of this kind ? Reduce them all to one member each. Reduce their fr anchise to the lowest mount, and - compel them to vote for this one member by a rigorous enforcement of the ballot. Give them a trial with one member and secret voting. We should then have two more English seats to allot. BERLIN WATERWORKS COMPANY.—The annual meeting of this company was held yesterday—Mr. W. H. Goschen in the chair—when the report was adopted and a dividend declared of Is. per share. It was stated that the progress of the undertaking during the past half-year bas been steady, although slow. The service-laying by the company has considerably increased, while the amount of similar works by local plumbers has augmented in a still greater ratio. The additional customers, irre spective of those supplied by meter, comprise upwards of 1,500 families. The increase of revenue from wa ter-rates during the past six months has been £936, against £571 at Midsummer. It was also mentioned that lately; while there were 42 degrees of frost, penetrating 3ft. 2in. in o the ground, the temperature of the water sup plied by the company was four degrees above freezing point, and that the cold has caused no injury of any consequence to the pipe system. In answer to questions, it was stated that there were no outstanding charges. The question of extending the charter has not been lost sight of, but is de ferred to a more favourable opportunity. Of the 80,000 families in Berlin, 8,000 are supplied by the company. Some discussion took place upon the propriety of increasing the dividend, but an amendment to make it Is. 4d. was lost. THE METROPOLITAN UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. —ln consequence of the rapid progress of this underground line of railway, steps are in progress at the west of the proposed stations to proceed with the erection of them. t A e n t dtehde to to a p of Po r b ove 30 feet,tlan d- a n r d o a t d b e t h e foundations excavations of f thehave ex build ing have been proceeded with. At the commencement of the line, near the Great. Western Railway Station, a more rapid progress has been made in the erection of the station, as also at the station which is in course of con struction at King's-cross. Here also the underground line has been greatly advanced. At Lisson-grove, near the Yorkshire Stingo, an extensive area of ground has been taken for the station to be erected at this spot, and by which there will be an open line of rails till it reaches Marylebone-road, from which point it will pass under ground at King's-cross. At the end of Chapel-street, in consequence of the station requiring a portion of Maryle bone-road, the thoroughfare from Chapel-street has been diverted, and a bridge is being built for the purpose of carrying out the new line of road. At Baker-street on the north and the south side of the Edgware-road, a station will be erected, one for the up and the other for the down lines. On each side purchases have been made for the pro perty required by the company. On many parts of the distance the line of railway is completed, notwithstanding the obstacles which have been thrown in the way by the late severe weather. FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, a fire broke out on the pre mises of Mr. Abbott, a retailer of ale and beer, nearly facing the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway. Not more than five minutes after the alarm was given the flames burst from the windows with the greatest impetuosity. A scene of a most pitiable character then presented itself, Mrs. Abbott having made her appearance with three children at the second floor window. She screamed frantically for help, but the heated smoke and sparks were entering her apart ment with such fury that she was compelled to throw the three children into the street. Fortunately they were caught by the police and bystanders, and received no serious Injury. Mr. Abbott also managed to get safely out of the house, just in time to see his wife jump out of the upper window. She in falling struck a policeman on the shoulder, and both were badly injured Mr. Abbott, on looking round, found that all the inmates, with the exception of two of his children— one named Emma, 13 years of age, and the other William, three years—had got out of the blazing building. Recol lecting that these children slept in the third floor back, ke again entered the house, regardless of the great danger he ran. Ile could not find the children, and he groped his way through the heated smoke into the front room on the third floor. Before, however, he had time to look round this room, he having incautiously left the door open, the flames entered the apartment, and ho was compelled to jump out of the window, and was badly injured and taken to the hospital. The Royal Society's fire escape arrived at the spot in less than three minutes after the alarm was given, and, the conductor having placed his machine in front of the house, ho was informed that the children were in the third floor back. He at once ran up the escape, and entered the front for the purpose of getting into the back, but the flames drove him back, and he.had great difficulty in again reaching his escape. The two poor children, it appears, had crawled from the back room to the front, and, no cries being heard to proceed from them while the conductor was in the place, there is no doubt they were at that time suffocated. As soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled to allow the fire men to enter, they went in search of the missing children, and found them in the front room on the third floor, not extensively burnt, except about the feet. Mr. Abbott was insured in the Imperial fire-office. "I have on various occasions expressed the prin ciples according to which I am resolved to exercise the power which God has entrusted to me. The country entertains no doubt on this subject. " I firmly rely that the National Parliament will second me in the accomplishment of my intentions, in the sense of the intact maintenance of the power of my Crown, for that is necessary for the real wel fare of the country. " As regards questions of home or foreign policy, touched upon in your address, already made known to me by the regulations of the Chamber, which, I hope with you, will receive ameliorations in the future, my Government has clearly explained to you the points of view which guide it according to my intentions, and to which it will remain faithful. I hope that the Chamber of Deputies will support it by its assent. "I hope that your labours, which will shortly commence, will bring to a satisfactory solution the important projects submittted to you by my Go vernment. We shall introduce reforms into many institutions, on legal grounds; there cannot be any doubt in that respect. " Union is strength, and, as it is necessary.that we should be strong, we must be united. This is true as rege.rds Prussia as well as her position towards Germany. My efforts in this respect have been crowned with the happiest results. "I know that my people will show me inviolable fidelity in good times as in bad times, and I heartily welcome the reiterated promise of such fidelity on the part of the Chamber." The different members of the deputation were then presented to the King by the President of the Chamber. His Majesty conversed with each of them in turn, and, on their leaving, said : Gentlemen,—You are about to commence your labours ; I trust that in a few months we may separate in good feeling and friendship." Prince Hohenzollern and the Minister Auerswald were present on this occasion. The general case, however, is that the clergyman refuses the burial service to the unfortunate person. generally an innocent child, who dies unbaptised. This is the frequent grievance of Protestant Dis senters ; and the grievance is the more felt because, " Fellow-Citizens,—When Sicily uttered her war-cry against the Bourbon all Italy was moved, and, rendered enthusiastic by our voice, called her sons to arms. A hand ful of heroes, collected in haste by the captain of the people, flew first to our aid, and wrought those miracles that have made Europe wonder. Nevertheless, our Titanic efforts, in ferior to the enterprise, would have remained inefficacious had not Garibaldi, by a wise thought, promptly instituted in every town of Italy committees of succour for Sicily, for the purpose of reinforcing our insurrection with men, arms, and money. Thanks to the activity of the generous men charged with the holy mission, strong and frequent aid reached us in succession, by means of which we were able in a few days to destroy a numerous army, deliver the island, and affect a landing on the Continent to lend a helping hand to our brothers. ‘" Southern Italy was redeemed. Twenty-two millions of men, united by the bond of fraternity, with Victor Em manuel, the constitutional king, form already the Italian family. But Italy is not wholly formed. Rome and Venice send us groans of grief that lacerate our souls, take away from us peace and rest, filling the people with pity and the despots with terror. So long as Rome and Venice are not free there will be no peace in the world. _ " Let us prepare ourselves, then, for the redemption : let us keep ourselves ready for the call of our captain. " In every corner of Italy committees of succour have been formed for Romo and Venice by the inspiration, and under the presiding care of Garibaldi, with a view to col lect arms and money, and prepare the contingent for the liberating army. _ _ " In Sicily, such committees have not yet been formed. The undersigned, invited by the central committee at Genoa to commence operations, accept 'willingly the oharge, and constitute themselves as a committee of succour for Rome and Venice. , . " Fellow citizens, you know. by experience what the liberty of a people clsts, and how priceless its acquisition is. You, restored to freedom yesteiday by your courage, and that of your brothers, have contracted the most sacred duties towards our country, and, being ever the first in sacrifices, you will faithfully and joyfully perform them. " Rome and Venice hold out their arms to you, and im plore your help. Sicily's answer will be worthy of Rome and Venice. " Palermo, Feb. 4, 1861.

Arrived, Feb. 14—Kate, from Ibrail ; Duke of Cornwall, steamer, from London ; Arbutus, from Cardiff; Havre, steamer, from Havre ; Alarm, Lavinia, Mary Ann, and Azores, from Newport. Yesterday morning, through the kindness of Mr. Chas. Morton, the proprietor of Canterbury Hall, Westminster road, the varied and attractive entertainments of that eminently popular establishment were exclusively devoted to the amusement of the children of the Li tensed Victual lers' School, while, with a liberality of spirit of which he has on so many former occagions given proof, the entire proceeds of the performance were pres ented by him to the Institution itself. The thanks both of the children and of the Committee of Management are also eminently due to Mr. Stanley, Mr. Morton's partner, a gentleman not less desirous of the per manent prosperity of the Institution, and who yesterday exerted himself to the utmost, to insure the thorough en joyment of the occasion by the little folks whom it was intended to please. The children arrived at the Hall shortly before two o'clock, and were introduced by Mr. Harris and Mr. Richardson, two members of the Committee of the Incor porated Society. Spats were assigned to them in the spa cious galleries, whence they ccmmanded an excellent view of the spot which was soon to be the cynosure of every eye. Meanwhile the hall had been gradually filling, and at two o'clock, the time fixed for the commencement of the perfor mance, every seat was occupied, and even in the large lobby outside the hall locomotion was attended with a somewhat uncomfortable conviction of the impenetrability of matter. The delight of the youthful visitors was evidently im mense, and their pleasure and gratitude to the founders of their entertainment beamed from their intelligent and happy countenances. Sailed—La Poule, for Cherbourg; Duke of Cornwall, steamer, for Dublin. (BY SUBMARINE AND MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Friday Morning. Arrived—Nil Desperandum, from Constantinople.

THE LONDON NECROPOLIS COMPANY.—At the annual meeting of the London Necropolis Company, held yesterday, Mr. Alderman Dakin in the chair, the report was adopted. The share capital remains at £149,160, and eight acres of surplus land have been sold by auction at an ave rage of £ll7 per acre. A large number of gentlemen returned from the Australian colonies, assembled in Glasgow on Friday, at the Clarence Hotel, when upwards of 50 sat down to supper. The chair was occupied by James M'Ewan, Esq., from Melbourne; appropriate speeches in the interest of the colony were made. The West India steamer Atrato has brought £16,000 in gold and £BO,OOO in silver. It is understood that the Bank of France would have reducel their rate of discount yesterday but for the receipt of a telegram announcing the step taken by the Bank of England. CHARITABLE FUNDS.- A return has been made showing the aggregate amount in the hands of the official trustees of charitable funds at the close of the year 1860. These official trustees are appointed by the Lord Chancellor under the ( heritable Trusts Act of 1853, and to them the judge of any Court may direct the transfer of funds for bettor 'ocurity, or at the desire of the previous trustees ; and at the end of the year, they held no less than £780,008 Government Stock, £1,369 India Five per Cent..

The Opinione of Turin, of the 12th, contradicts the statement of some journals to the effect that the opening of the Italian Parliament would be prorogued to the 27th ; and announces that it will most positively be opened on Monday next. The same paper states that M. Ratazzi has accepted the candidateship for the Pitsidency of the Lower Chamber, offered him by Count Cavour. A letter from Mola di Gaeta of the 7th, in the Siecle, gives some further details relative to the explosion at Gaeta :—" About half-past four yester day aft•;rnoon, while our batteries were as usual slowly bombarding the place, a tremendous explosion took place, and immediately after an enthusiastic shout of exultation burst forth from the camp and from the crews of all the vessels of the squadron. The garrison of Gaeta having been in expectation of an assault, had prepared mines, and one of the shells from the camp falling on one of them, the whole of the bastion of San Antonio flew into the air, opening a vast breach on the part towar]s the sea. After this unlooked-for piece of good fortune, General Ciaidini ordered the bom bardment to be increased, and Admiral Persano ordered the Re Galantumno line-of-battle-ship on norththe side and the Garibaldi frigate on the north-east, to fire at the place at several times dur ing the night. 'At 8 o'clock last evening Captain Amtco, who cominauls the Garibaldi, put out all his lights, shut his ports, and approached to within 1,000 yards of the Borgi di Gaeta, when he ran out his guns and commenced a heavy fire with shot and shell. The garrison was for a moment as if thun deistruck, but afterwards opened a complete tern pest of shot on the frigate, although without doing any damage. At ten o'clock Admiral Persano signalled to the frigate to haul off, at the samf time complimenting the captain on his gallantry, and as the Garibaldi passed the other vessels, the crews loudly cheered.
