THE OR HOUSE OF LORDS. - )MPANY. (Peerspresont—The Lord Chancellor, Lord St. Leonards, Lori. Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and other peers.) ANNUAL MEETING.--THIS DAY. BROOKS, ET. AL. V. BROOKS ET. AL.-APPEAL. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice Chancellor Wood, declaring invalid in England the marriage with a deceased wife's sister in Denmark, where such marriages are lawful. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., resumed his argumett for the appellant, and in support of his argumeat that the marriage was lawful, cited " Clark en Colonial Law," p. 22 ; the " Code Napoleon," the Act of 1835, the case of Westly v. Westly, 2 " Drurie," and " Warren," p. 502, and 525 ; " Milworth's Ecclesias tical Reports," p. 1 to 19; Seal v. Brabant, 9 Geo. 11, cap. 11—Irish Act—and contended that in every civilised state and kingdom in the world, except Scotland, such marriages are valid. The ordinary general meeting of the proprietors and directors of the Great Ship Company was held this day, at the London Tavern. Samuel Baker, Esq., occupied the chair. The report, which has already appeared in The Seim, having been taken as read, Mr. Matins, Q.C., followed on the same side. The Attorney-General and Mr. Wilkins represent tie Crown. The case was pending when we went to press. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) Robert Fraser North, described as a merchant, vas indicted for stealing two sealed orders for the delivery of tallow, viz , 280 casks and 113 casks, the property of Messrs. Hubbard & Co., Russian merchants, Birchin-bne, City. He was also charged on another indictment for stealing a piece of paper, value 2d., the property of Rth ard Goss. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption by the meeting said—he had great pleasure in ineeting the shareholders that clay, because they considered the affairs of the company were highly satisfactory, and another matter of great congratulatiox was, that the Great Eastern had proved herself, notwith standing what had been said in her depreciation, one of the stoutest ships in the world. (Hear, hear.) The trial trip to America had been accomplished with unprecedented suc cess so far as the proprietors were concerned, and at a loss only of £344 is. 9d. The ship had been greatly improved since they had last met, a new deck had been laid down, and everything done that could conduce to the comfort of the passengers and the safety of the cargo she might carry in future. The chairman then alluded to the other points mentioned in the report, and concluded by saying that he considered that the ship would prove herself a successful source of profit by being engaged in the American trade. Mr. TAYLOR said it would be necessary to make the passage money less if they wished to make the Great Eastern pay, and afford accommodation for steerage pas sengers. He wished to know whether Captain Hall was again to be commander of the vessel. He was a highly popular captain, and a man of great nerve and nautical skill. _ . The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The facts of the case have already appeared in The ksin, whilst the prisoner was under examination at the Mention House. Mr. WEBBER wished to know, in the event of the next trip made to America not being a paying speculation, if the directors would consider the expediency of sending the Great Eastern 10 the East. The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to sustain a charge of larceny. The second indictment was withdrawn. Mr. Sergeant Parry said—Since the present proceedings had been instituted he had returned the warrants for the delivery of the property. The CHAIRMAN said it was intended to provide for steerage passengers. The directors could nct at the present moment commit themselves to the nomination of a captain. It would be unwise and impossible to say where the ship would be sent to after her return from America, but no time would be lost in sending her elsewhere if the American trade did not prove remunerative. NEW COURT. Edward Gandell, who was yesterday acquitted of a charge of forgery, was placed at the bar to answer another charge of the same nature. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prisoner, said his client would plead guilty to the misdemeanour of unlawfully ob taining goods within three months of bankruptcy, but not guilty to the forgery. Mr. Giffard, under such circumstances, would not proceed with the indictment for forgery. Todd, who had acted as principal clerk to the prisoner, and who yesterday pleaded guilty to misdemeanour, was then placed beside Gandell for judgment. The learned judge said he must defer passing sentence for the present. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) A man named Jackson pleaded guilty to unlawfully ob taining goods within three months of bankruptcy. He was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. POLICE INIELLIGENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH STREET. SMASHING A CAFE WINDOW.—Two rough. looking men, named Thos. Kennedy and Robert Allen were charged as follows : It appears that about one this morning, 326 A saw the prisoners fighting in Piccadilly, opposite No. 226, a cafe. He heard Allen say to the other prisoner, "If you don't go away I'll knock your - head through the window ;" and he kept his word, for a minute after he made a run at Kennedy and knocked his head through the pane of glass. Mr. Nicholls, manager of the cafe, on behalf of Mr. Thorogood, said the glass was of the value of from £l5 to £2O. He had been much annoyed by Kennedy hanging about the house for some time, and had also been threatened by him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the charge was fighting and breaking a window. He was sorry the law did not allow him to inflict a heavier fine than £5 for tho damage, which he should order Allen to pay; and as Kennedy had also threatened and annoyed the complainant, he should fine him 40s. or a month. Mr. BAumGARTNEn thought the failure of the ship had hitherto been owing to the mismanagement of the directors. Much was lost in the ship not being properly advertised. He thought that having once placed confidence in the direc tors, and they not having managed matters at all satis factorily, they should have further assistance as to what was to be done for the future. He moved as an amendment the appointment of a committee of six practical shipowners to confer and advise with the directors as to the future management of the ship. Mr. CHANTER seconded the amendment. Mr. HAWKES opposed the amendment. He thought the directors had done their duty well to the shareholders. Mr. PYFINCH thought it would prove highly remunera tive if the ship was again brought to the Thames and opened as " a show ship." That circumstance would in crease the confidence the public had in the ship. Mr. PARRY thought a voyage to America would not pay. A voyage to Australia could not fail to turn out remunera tive, besides it would only take a month's more stores to perform the journey. Mr. TAYLOR was of opinion that a few short passages ought to be made before she took a long one, and that pro per public notice should be given of what were the inten tions of the directors with regard to the ship. He thought that the ship should be sent to America, and on her return go down the Mediterranean, and then go to America in August or September. She then would get the cream of the American passenger traffic, and also get a number of passengers who were desirous of going up the Medi terranean in the interval between her trips to America. After that he thought the ship might be very advan tageously sent to either India or Australia, say on the Ist of January. If the passage money was put down at 80 guineas for first-class, 50 guineas for the second, and, supposing they succeeded in securing two hundred first and:two hundred second-class, about 1,000 tons of casco, the voyage would pay. Mr. CABBY agreed with the last speaker as to where the ship was to go, but it was also important where she went from. He was in favour of Liverpool. After some further discussion, the amendment was re jected and the report adopted. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BOY.—Thomas Farrant, a boy of about 16, residing at 43, Upper Harley-street, Marylebone, was charged with embezzling the sum of £3, received for his master, Mr. Morris Pillischer, optician, 88, New Bond street. The prisoner bad been in Mr. Pillischer's employ not more than a fortnight, when, being sent home with some goods, and haying received the money, £3, he failed to account to his employer for the same. Remanded. Csunt. ASSAULT.—A tall, stout man, named Henry jan.nn, .ritb. assaulting Mr. Wm. Dawson, of the Two Ships, 27, Old Compton-street, Soho. It appears that the defendant -- 4 the house of Mr. Dawson and insulted several customers, anu king put out made the remark that he would either murder or disable Mr. Dawson. He then returned to the house, awl.- on being put out seized Mr. Dawson in a delicate part, causing him such intense pain that he was compelled to go to bed, and has ever since continued very unwell. The defendant was fined £5, or two months' imprison ment. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the directors was held this day at the Bridge House Hotel. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report (which has already appeared in The Sun), said the receipts for the year ending Jan. 31, show an increase compared with that of the previous year, which was, of itself, highly encouraging. After providing for the fixed charges, for rents of branch lines, interest on loans, &c., on guaranteed stock and preference shares, there remained a balance of £225,064 4s. 9d. available for the dividend on the ordinary consoli dated stock of the company. A dividend of 18s. per £3O stock, or at the rate of £6 per cent. per annum, would absorb a sum of £223,011, leaving a balance to be carried forward to the next half-year of £2,055 4s. 9d., and that dividend the directors recommended should be paid ou. Thursday, the 7th day of March next. Of course, they hail .Tnerienead_ the hacL effects of the weather during the last autumn ; but, all things considered, the year had been a satisfactory one. The directors looked forward with great interest to the increased facilities which had been given to trade, and having alluded to the company's applications to Parliament, he concluded by moving the adoption of the report. After a short discussion the report was agreed to. The retiring directors were re-elected and the auditors re-elected, and the meeting was closed by a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.

Her crew of 10 men were will ingly assisted by the inhabitants, and the boat, which is 18 feet long, was soon on the western beach. In addition to the fearful character of the storm, which was right in their teeth, the brave Coastguardsmen had to contend with a number of dangerous spars and yards alongside the stranded ship. Notwithstanding these hazards, Mr. Bath, in three trips, rescued the whole of the crew, 13 men, and brought them safely ashore. Commander Phelps, Inspecting Com mander of Coastguard, who had been obliged to make a difficult detour by land to reach the wreck, was present, and directed the men, and afterwards adopted stringent measures to protect the ship's gear from pillage. Mr. Bath, it will be reoollected, was in the Coastguard boat in Jan., 1857, when the homewardbound West India Mail steamship Tyne was wrecked. He then saved a large amount of specie and 43 lives, being all her crew and passengers, one of whom presented him with a purse containing £5OO. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—An interesting return Was issued yesterday analysing the railway accidents which have taken place during the half yea r ending Deenal,l The total number of such accidents is 46; the total number of persons kind by them, 32 ; those who were injured more or less numbering 383. Twenty-four persons were killed by collisions, in which either one or both of the trains which collided were passenger trains. One person was killed through the breakage of a tyre (the great number of acci dents from the cause which occurred recently took place, it will be remembered, in the present year) and seven railway servants were killed by accidents to mineral and good in s trains. Of the total number of accidents, 43 happened England, 2 in Scotland, and 1 in IrclitBol .~ _-~ METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

JOINT-STOCK BANKS.—A supplement to the _London Gazette of Tuesday, published last night, contains the names, residences, and occupations of all shareholders in joint-stock banks at the present time. The document is printed in compliance with the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, and is exceedingly useful as a guide to the ordinary custo mers of a bank as to the amount of security they have to fall back upon, should any contingency arise with regard to the paid-up capital and reserve fund. It is curious to observe the difference in the number of shareholders in these establishme4v, the names of some, such as the Londonand Westminster, London and County, Union, &c., running through the whole of the alphabet with a goodlynumber to each letter, while some of the others such as Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co,, consist only of one Barclay, one Bevan, and two Trittons ; the . well established firm of Barnett, Hoare, and Co., of three Barnetts and two Hoares ; Bid dulph, Cocks, and Co. consists of two Biddulphs and two Cocks ; while Curries and Co. consists only of four Curries ; and the Messrs. Drummond, as the name implies, are all Drummonds, comprising seven of that name. Glyn, Mills, and Co. consists of four of the former name, and three of the latter ; while the firm of Gosling and Sharp comprises four Goslings and one Sharp. Hanbury and Lloyds, as the names also indicate, contain three Hanburys and two Lloyds ; while Hankey and Co. consists of five Hankeys. Again in the order in which they appear, Heywood, Ken nard, and Co. has one Heywood and four Kennards, and so on to the end, including Smith, Payne, and Smith, which numbers six Smiths. It is surprising; how limited the num ber of shareholders is in some of these old establishments compared with the more modern. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER :cok the chair at twelve o'clock. CHURCH RATES. An rTormous number of petitions were presented in op positicn to Sir John Trelawny's bill. Few proceeded from the Liberal side of the house, the opponents of Church-rates having abstained from encouraging petitions during the present session. CHURCH-RATE ABOLITION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY rose to move the second reading of this bill. He said that he had suffered extreme obloquy in consequence of his exertions in reference to Church-rates, but he hoped that in time his opponents would come to a better mind upon this matter. He had endeavoured to obtain a compromise on this question, and wished to settle it, but he had been prevented from doing so by his oppo nents. Besides there was another circumstance which, in his opinion, rendered it a great hardship on Dissenters to be called on to contribute towards the maintenance of an Established Church—namely, that want of uniformity in its doctrines, as was shown by recent events, including the publication of " The Essays and Reviews," which had been thought worthy of being brought before Convocation. He cited the authority of Dr. Lushington to show the objec • tionable character of the existing lawas respects church rates. From what had taken place on this subject it was evident they could not stand still and what were they prepared to do? Would they pass a more stringent law and introduce a uniform measure to apply equally to the whole country, and extend it to such places as Manchester. If they did he believed the result would be that they would have to increase their estimates and enlarge their prisons. He drew the attention of the hon. members to the state of the Episcopal Church in America, which was supported by a small pew rent, to show that the establishment had nothing to fear from the application of the voluntary principle when it was allowed to develope itself fully. He concluded by an earnest appeal to the house to settle this question, and by this mewls set at rest the heartburning and excitement which this impost caused throughout the country, to an extent of which some hon. members had no idea. Lord FERMOY seconded the motion. He said where there was a majority of Dissenters no church rate was imposed, but the reverse was the case when the majority was on the side of Churchmen, and the inference was that they must either main tain it by compulsory means, or abandon it altogether. In common with other hon. members he had received a circular from the Archdeacon of London, in which the reveread writer placed the question on a most unfair foot ing, for he said,that the abolition of this rate would lead to the admission of Jews and Roman Catholics to offices from which they were originally excluded, to the expulsion of the BiShops from the House of Lords, and to the appropriation by the State of the revenue of the Church of England, Church of Ireland, and Kirk of Scotland. He referred to the Church in Ireland to prove the absurdity of any danger to the establishment, for that Church was stronger than ever. He deprecated making this question a party cry, and warned hon members oppo site that if they did so they would have to assume the responsibility of more sweeping measures with reference to the Church. Sir W. HEATIICOTE defended the church-rates as a Churchman, and on the ground of constitutional principle. He asserted that it would be a most dangerous precedent, both with reference to the question of right and principle, to adopt a measure of this nature. He contended that the arguments in support of the motion were not logical or in conformity with the dictates of justice. At the same time he would advise his hon. friends who agreed with him in opposition to this bill not to push their principles, in respect to this question, to an extreme limit, but make concession to necessity. He trusted they would consider whether the time had not arrived when they might fairly take steps towards conciliation, and settle a question whose continuance was so much at variance with the best in terests of the Church, and so gratifying to the feelings of Churchmen. He concluded by moving as an amendment that this bill should be read a second time this day six months. Mr. PACKE seconded the amendment, and complained that a return for which he had moved had not been supplied him. If that document had been produced he would have been in'a position to show that the Voluntary principle would not do for the maintenance of the Established Church. Mr. MARSH sail that, as a Churchman, he deplored very much the agitation which prevailed on this question, which he believed had the effect of keeping from the Esta blishment many persons who were partly Dissenters and partly Churchmen. (Hear, hear.) He suggested a compromise based on the recommendation of the licuso of Lords, namely, that in cases where persons objected to pay the rate, and were summoned to the Ecclesiastical Court, they should not be required to pay it, but should not be permitted to vote on any question affecting the Establishment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER congra tulated the house on the growing feeling in favour of bringing this question to a conclusion. No re verse of opinion had taken place in his mind in reference to this question, and therefore he felt bound to vote against the second reading of this bill. He strongly denied that there was a genuine feeling country against the union of Church and State, and he re ferred to the petitions presented by Dissenters in favour of the maintenance of this rate to show that amongst that body there was not uniformity in opposition to this im post. He contended that the illustration of the noble lord (Fermoy) of the Church of Ireland did not apply to the Established Church in this country. He said the question divided itself into two—namely, its application of church rates to rural and to town parishes. In town parishes there were rumbers of persons not in communion with the Church, but the case was entirely altered as regarded rural parishes, for there the majority necessarily belonged to the Established Church. In the former, also,the value of property rapidly increased, while in the country its growth was slow ; and it must be remembered, with regard to the maintenance of the Esta blished Church, that it was a legitimate and well-known charge on land. He contended that it was quite impracti cable to suppose that the fabric of the churches in rural parishes could be maintained by the voluntary principle, the tendency of which would be to secularise the clergy, on whom would devolve the duty of maintaining those fabrics. Those who advocated the introduction of the voluntary principle generally were not aware of the danger that existed in changing the' traditional religion or the practices in regard to it that prevailed amongst the people of a nation. He should be happy to see the matter satisfactorily settled, but he would not consent even to such a result effected by a comprimise of a principle. There were 8,000 or 10,000 rural parishes which, if left to the voluntary principle, would be unprovided with church accommoda tion. After some further observation the right hon. gen tleman said he felt bound to record his vote against the second reading of this bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT thought that if the new plan of the right hon. gentleman was to be carried out, he must begin by adopting the bill of the hon. baronet who proposed aboli tion. If they were not prepared to adopt that bill he thought it would be better to let the matter alone altogether. He could assure hon. members that none of the schemes for compromise which had been proposed would satisfy those who promoted the motion for abolition, and that if such a measure did pass the House of Commons it would not allay the agitation which existed. (Hear, hear.) This was a question of supremacy on the part of a large Establishment. The Church of Eng land was the only one in Christendom in which the Minis ter of the day appointed the bishops. There was not long since a Prime Minister who was a Presbyterian, and he had the appointment of bishops of the English Church. The present Prime Minister had had, it was said, the appoint ment of half the bishops on the bench, and although many would be inclined to say that the noble lord was a great statesman, there were few who would contend that he had any peculiar fitness to discharge the duties of a divine or ecclesiastic. Adverting to the sale of church livings, the hon. gentleman contended that it was contrary to reason and offensive to the eye of heaven. (The hon. gentleman read some amusing anecdotes in connection with this subject.) He proceeded to speak of the "Essays and Reviews," as showing the divisions which existed in the Church of England. The writers had been denounced as " The Sevgb. Champions of un-Christendom," in a style which, if it was not just, was extremely violent. He con. eluded by assuring the house that the Nonconformists would never rest until they had achieved this victory. Mr. DISRAELI contended that Sir J. Trelawny's bill involved an assault upon the independence of pa rishes and the integrity If the Church. He thought the decision the house came to, that it was advisable, totally and unconditionally to abolish church rates, was an unfortunate one, because such a resolution stood in the way of an im provement of the law. Such was the statement he had lately made to his constituents and neighbours, and it had been made a charge aga inst him that he had made a speech for party p ur p oses. Such ea Chu ared charge he denied. The right hon. gentleman de of England against the attacks of Mr. Brfiegnhdted, and decl the intention of his party to maintain its integrity. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the question was of great i mpor t an ce, whether it was poss.ible to plat® the Church ; n with regard to church in the same P os." ra t e s as the Churc h enjoyed with regard to tithes and landed property. If that could be done he bad no doubt the Church would enjoy a career of uninterrupted usefulness. He remembered the agitation by Dissenters against the slave trade first, and then against slavery itself—he remembered their agitation aga i ns t the Test and Corporation Act, and many other agitations, and they all knew how those agitations had ended. (Hear.) If Parliament were now to refuse to settle this question once for all, they would see the same machinery put in motion—they would find the question brought forward at every election—it would be constantly brought forward, and they would either carry the question or be defeated, with the certainty always that the contest would be renewed after every defeat. (Hear, hear.) But was it an advantage to the Church that this should be so ? (Ministerial cheers.) Would it strengthen the Church pr promote the best interests of the country at largo, that __~___ _ _. -: x ' fur such a small sum as the produce of these rates an agi tation like this should be carried on for the next five or for the next ten years. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the existence of the Church of England depended on these rates; on the contrary, he believed that their aboli tion would tend to strengthen it in every way, and on that ground, if no other, he said that the sooner these rates were abolished the better. Mr. WALPOLE expressed his regret that the moderate measure which had been offered by Mr. Hubbaid fur sew ring a compromise had not been accepted, an thus an end put to the agitation. The house divided— For the motion. 2Bl Against it 266 Majority --15 The result of the division was received with loud cheer ing. The bill was then read a second time, and the com mittee thereupon was fixed for Wednesday next. LAW OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES BILL. This bill passed through committee.

Proceeding up the hill, Gold smith increased his lead, Doubtful being fourth, and with little or no alteration this order of running was observed to the turning flag out of the park, rounding which Goldsmith went to the wrong side, and had to return, and in conse quence was out of the race. The mishap gave the lead to Brine, who, in company with Heads er Tails, Doubtful, and Unknown, carried it on to the post and rails behind the farmhouse, at which she blundered and fell, leaving Heads or Tails in possession of the lead, closely waited upon by Doubtful and Unknown. At the last fence Doubtful went in front, was never after caught, and won cleverly by four lengths.
