IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING. Their lordships met at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the principal navy agents against the Navy Pay Bill. They complained that the effect of the bill would be to take from them the business which they had enjoyed for 100 years, with respect to the distribution of prize monies, and place it in the hands of a public officer, to be ap pointed for the purpose. The noble and learned lord bore . high testimony to the admirable and successful manner in which they had, during the last wars, transacted all matters entrusted to them by the officers and seamen Who were captors of prizes, and he appealed to the Go vernment to take their case into their earnest consi deration. Lord HATHERTON presented a petition from the mayor, magistrates, and principal inhabitants of the borough of Walsall, and also from the inhabitants of Tipton, in Staffordshire, for an amendment of the law prohibiting the payment of wages otherwise than in the coin of the realm. The noble lord entered into a state ment of the law on the subject, and showed the neces sity for further legislation. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLMASTERS IN SCOTLAND. The Duke of BUCCLETJGH inquired what were the intentions of the Government with respect to parochial schoolmasters in Scotland. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, as the bill for ex tending education to Scotland, which contained a clause permanently increasing the stipend of Scotch parochial schoolmasters, had been defeated in the other house, the Government intended to introduce a temporary measure to continue those stipends, which this year would be reduced to the scale in existence twenty-five years ago, at the rate at which they had recently been paid. [LEFT SITTING. ] ROUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

PELLATT from Cambridgeshire, praying for the abolition of Church rates; by Mr. BROCKLEHURST, to the same effect from Maccles field ; by Mr. COWAN from Dunkeld, praying that the universities may be thrown open to all classes of her Ma jesty's subjects. PIRATES. Sir G. B. PECHELL moved for a return of all sums paid to the officers and crews of her Majesty's ships, for rewards for services against pirates, under the Act 13 and 14 Vic. c. 27, specifying the number of pirates in each case killed, captured, or escaped, with the dates of such capture or seizure, the dates of the several awards in the Admiralty Court, and the dates when the said rewards be came payable for distribution.—Agreed to. CHELSEA HOSPITAL. Mr. OLIVEIRA asked. the Secretary at War whether arrangements are being made, at the Royal Asylum at Chelsea, to carry into effect accommodation for the in creased number of 120 children, which he consented to add to that institution on a recent occasion. Mr. HERBERT stated that he had called for plans and estimates for the purpose of enlarging the building, and had also given orders to obtain additional schoolmasters. HIGHWAYS. Mr. M. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he can state the opinion of the Go vernment with respect to a bill which had been prepared in the Home-office, for amending the Highway Laws for England and Wales, and whether there is any intention on the part of the Government to introduce such a mea sure during the present session. Lord PALMERSTON had not been able to give his at tion to it yet, and he was afraid he could not bring in such a bill this session. CHARITABLE TRUSTS. Mr. PELLATT asked Lord J. Russell whether Govern ment has decided to appoint an additional number of in spectors or commissioners to aid the charity commissioners to carry out the views contemplated by the act of last session, and including an inquiry into endowments of schools, libraries, &c. Lord J. RUSSELL said no premature step had yet been taken on the subject, as Government were anxious to take the opinion of the commissioners upon it. MILITARY KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR. Mr. GRENFELL asked the Secretary of State for the Rome Department, whether any answer has been received to the address to the Crown of the 24th March, praying for. an inquiry int o th e c l a i ms of the Military Knights of Windaor, and, if so, w h e th er any steps have been taken with referen ce to the same ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that, according to law, the Pte only Could be settled by a wr it i n Ch ancery, b ut he Iv es in hopes o b f being able t o i n d uce b o th s i des to consent to a ref er b e e„ ed. en ee Y which the expense of such a suit would PRISONERS OF WAR AND THE NEWS FROM Mr. of the Admir DIOR/ . s THE BALTIC.

He wished also to ask the right hon , baro nd jurect that Sir received any information confirming thieet whether he had Charles Napier had made 1,500 prison e mouth oftth2e Sir .T. GRAHAM stated on a former oceasitlra lor 14 vessels had been captured between the Danube and Odessa, and in consequence of that captu re 50 persons were made prisoners of war. They Were seamen engaged in the coasting trade. They were not expe r t sailors, and Admiral Dundas, anxious to liberat e th em, addressed a communication to General Sacken, in corn. wand at Odessa, proposing to exchange these prisoners for certain sailors w hol were British subjects, and detained by the Russians in Odessa. General Sacken answered that Application by stating that he was not himself at liberty to enter into such a negotiation, but he had forwarded the proposal to Prince Paskewitch at head-quarters. (Hear.) He was not aware what step Admiral Dundas took in the matter before sailing to bombard Sebasto pol ; but in consequence of what had taken place the Admiralty had caused instructions to be sent out to Admiral Dundas directing, him, on no account, to liberate any p ersons he had captured without an exchange f or B r i tish subjects. (Hear.) With respect to the last questio n , he could on ly s t a t e th a t h e h a d rec eived to ac counts from Sir Charles Napi er s i nce th e sth o f M ay, :01 houmg e; th e fleet was about to leave the coast of Sweden. k .lenl as, th ere f ore, not in possession of any information to confirm the report referred to. WAYS AND MEANS. that the The CHAN C ELLOR of the EXCHEQUE R then reared Speakr do le ave th e chair. Sir F. BARING said he felt it necessary to that h s should postpo ne the amendment of wh ich say ichhe had given no tice, on the pr o p os i t i on of going into ways and means, till the house went into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, so far blithe Government were concerned there was no change whatever in their intentions or announcements. He could not understand how there could be any misunderstanding as to the order of proceeding, for he had been most careful to state that they should first take votes on all the new taxes, and it was for that reason that he now moved that the house should go into committee. Mr. DISRAELI said that was certainly not the order of proceeding they understood was to be followed. He did understand the report of the formal resolution was to have been brought forward last Monday, in order that the opi nion of the house should be taken on it. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said ho thought it was perfectly clear that either the report or the further resolutions in committee should be taken when the motion was brought on. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER corrobo rated this statement of the noble lord, and said the objec tion of Mr. Disraeli was founded on a misapprehension. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said he understood the whole question of the Budget was to have besn discussed on the report on Monday last. He thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer was bound to tell the house on what grounds he intended to raise a very large sum of money, 4,000,0001., by Exchequer bonds within a period of four or six years, as he was now initiating a new set of measures. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with respect to the grounds for those taxes, he thought he had stated those grounds very fully in his general financial statement, and he was very sorry if he had not been fully and clearly understood. He said the intention was to raise money for the present financial year, and not during a series of years, as the hon. baronet seemed to think. Sir F. BARING said he certainly had understood that the original resolution should be proceeded with first ; but as that was not to be the case, he must now move that amendment in committee which he had intended to submit to the whole house. He certainly did wish he could give a silent vote on this occasion, looking at the great and pe culiar difficulties of the times—difficulties which he would say arose from the mismanagement of the finances last year, and from the unwise conduct of her Majes ty's Government. (Hear, hear, hear.) Thinking, as he did, that the financial measures adopted last year werewanting in prudence, and had been unsuccessful, he could not now give a silent vote on the present measures. He thought the Exchequer-bill market was amost valuable resource for any Minister, but that market must be main tained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer shaping his operations according to transactions elsewhere, and a con viction that Exchequer-bill holders can always obtain their money whenever they wanted to change their investments. The sum of 652,4561. of stock of the funded debt of savings banks had been sold to buy up Exchequer bills, and they were again converted to the funded debt of the country, entailing an additional burden on the debt of the country of 1,200,0001.--and that was caused by the conduct of the Government with respect to the financial measures of last year. He hoped that for the future the finance of France would not be made the basis for that of a finance Minister of this country; for it could not be creditable to compare the finance of a country like England, whose resources or credit have never been doubted with that of a coun try like France, which, whatever its resources might be, was only just recovering from a general and total con vulsion. (Hear, hear.) He approved of the desire of her Majesty's Ministers for preserving peace, but if there was the slightest speck of a cloud of a disturbing cause abroad they ought to have paused last April (1853) when they proposed their financial measures—(hear),—and there was in the blue book a letter from Lord Clarend on on the movements of troops towards the Russian frontiers, which should of itself have given them that warning. He could not then but say they ought not allow this resolution to pass without saying more caution should have been exercised in the past, and that more prudence should be observed for the future. (Hear.) He could not imagine that between a reasonable Chancellor of the Exchequer and a prudent go vernor of the Bank of England, there should be anything that could not be reconciled, for the benefit both of public and of private credit. (Hear, hear). And whilst he allowed that deficiency bills might be resorted to in an emergency, yet if the Bank were forced to raise its interest on these bills, they would not have great advantages, but they would have the disadvantage that they might have to ask the Bank for money, which the Bank could not grant without serious restrictions upon the commerce of the country. (Hear, hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. The Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, arrived at Liverpool, at half-past 1 on Saturday afternoon, with advices from New York to the Bth, and Bos ton to the 10th inst. She has also brought 178 passengers, and $188,253 in specie on freight. The Royal mail steam-ship Africa arrived at New York on the evening of the 4th inst. The steam-ships Star of the West and George Law had arrived at New York, with advices from California to the 15th of April, and $2,764,520 in specie on freight and in the hands of passengers. The screw steam-ship Cleopatra, which arrived at Portland, on the sth inst., from Liverpool, had a very narrow escape, and, but for the presence of mind of her commander, Captain Salt, might have been lost with all on board. In endeavour- ing to enter the St. Lawrence to reach Quebec, which was her proper destination, she got among the ice, which struck her with such force as to make a large hole through her bow, half-a-foot or so below the waterline. The captain immediately ordered all the passengers and crew to the extreme aft part of the ship, which raised the bow suffi ciently io enable the disaster to be repaired so as to get into port. It is much to be feared that the missing City of Glasgow, now out 69 days from Liverpool, may have met with a similar accident, with a less fortunate result. The weather in the St. Lawrence was more severe than had been known for many years. Several shipmasters, ac- customed to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, who were on board the vessel, took occasion to ten der to Captain Salt,their high opinion of his judg ment and skill. The El Dorado, the Star of the West, and the George Law had arrived with late advices from San Francisco, and a total of $2,914,520 in gold dust. The road from San Juan del Sud was in good con dition. The California papers continue to give en couraging accounts of miniuz i: , .operations. At Yankee-hill, near Columbia, a pure piece of gold, weighing 271b5., had been dug up by a man who the day before had not sufficient to purchase a breakfast. Walker and his band had evacuated Lower California and gone no one knew where, perhaps to Texas. They drove off 300 or 400 head of cattle belonging to the rancheros of Lower Cali fornia. A quicksilver mine had been discovered in the coast range of mountains, about 70 miles south of Pacheco's Pass, and said to be equal in richness to the new Almadon mines. The markets at San Francisco were moderately active. A steamboat explosion had occurred in San Francisco Bay, by which 36 persons were killed. In the Senate, on the 9th, Mr. Ingersoll delivered a speech on the European war, advocating the im mediate declaration, that free ships make free car goes, and that the United States would not permit the search of American vessels or the overhauling of their papers. The Nebraska Bill was still before the House of Representatives. According to the Herald, the Government had resolved on energetic measures in regard to the Black Warrior affair, the despatches from Madrid having given great dissatisfaction. The efforts to raise the Ericsson had not proved successful, although divers had penetrated into the cabins and closed the port-holes ; an immense can vas sheet, which had been passed round the vessel, was rendered nearly useless by the strong current. Captain Ericsson, in a letter to the New York papers, asserts that her trial trip was a complete success, a speed of 11 miles an hour being attained with a low pressure of steam. Four persons had been killed near Philadelphia by the explosion of a steam boiler. On the 9th a fire broke out in Forsyth-street, New York, and before it was extinguished destroyed upwards of $60,000 worth of property. At Montreal, on the 4th inst., a meeting was held expressive of sympathy with the Allied Powers in their contest with Russia. The following resolu tions were unanimously adopted : " That at this momentous period, when the peace of Europe has been broken and the British dominions ex posed to the risks of war, it becomes the duty of the citi zens of Montreal to express to her Majesty the assurance of their cordial and united support in the contest in which the British and French nations have been com pelled to participate against the aggression of despotic ambition and intolerant power. " That duly appreciating the enjoyment of tranquility, and the blessings of material and abundant prosperity which pervade this province of her Majesty's dominions, the citizens of Montreal cannot withhold their expres sion of their warmest sympathy for those of their fellow. subjects who may be personally engaged in this impor- tant and unprovoked contest. " That while we humbly invoke the Almighty Gover nor of the universe to avert from this province the cala mities of war and to restore peace to Europe, we shall at all times be ready boldly to repel foreign and unpro voked aggression upon this portion of her Majesty's dominions, and with our utmost power to maintain the tranquillity which now reigns throughout this province. The temporary Parliament House at Quebec had been destroyed by fire. The New York stock-market, on the 9th, was dull and h eavy .

THE BANKRUPTCY OF MR. CHARLES MATSEWS, THE COMEDIAN. On Saturday Mr. Mathews filed his balance sheet in the court of Mr. Commissioner Fane, as a preliminary step to his coming up before that learned gentleman for the purpose of passing his examination. He is described in the document as a commission agent, and the accounts extend over 22 large folio pages, but the information contained in them is of a very meagre character. There is a total absence of all details as to the profits, expenses, or repairs and alterations of the theatre, and it appears that the whole amount of assets for the numerous cre• ditors is but 61. 14s. 4d. in the hands of Mr. Thomas, who has been acting in the twofold capacity of trustee for the creditors and accountant to the bankrupt. So far back as April, 1851, Mr. Mathews petitioned the Court for protection from arrest under the Debtor and Creditor Private Arrangement Act. His debts were then 17,7271. 9s. 6d., and, after several meetings of creditors, they resolved upon appointing Mr. Thomas, the trustee, to manage the receipts and payments of the theatre for their benefit ; Mr. Mathews undertaking to perform at a fixed salary. The amount of remuneration which the bankrupt received for his services during this period is not disclosed in his balance sheet, but his debts appear to have been increased above 4,700/. The balance sheet commences on the 2d of April, 1851, and ends on the 7th April last, when the adjudi cation in bankruptcy took place.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. A special meeting of this company was held on Fri day at the London Tavern, to consider two bills now be fore Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; Mr. J. Parson in the chair. The C3Alli3fAN explained that the first bill was to au thorise the construction of a small branch to Chipping Norton, which was situated about 5 miles from their main line, and 16 miles from Oxford. The popula tion of the district was about 6,882 persons, ac cording to the last census. Influential persons among them had subscribed 10,000/. towards the con struction of the Ens, and Mr. Peto. M.P., had subscribed 14,0001., making the total 24,0001., for which sum the line was to be completed. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company were to work the line for 50 per cent of the gross receipts, and to pay over to the shareholders of the branch line one-third of the gross re ceipts of any increase of traffic which may arise to the main line from the construction of the branch line. The object of the arrangement, which was intended to form part of a series of such arrangements, was for the pur pose of enabling third parties locally interested to con struct the requisite branch lines in the district of the main line without calling upon the proprietors of the parent line to subscribe any capital for the construction of branch lines, and thus praCticlly to close the capital account of the main line when it was completed. A branch be tween Stourbridge and Dudley was now being projected on the same principle, and would be submitted for approval next session. The other bill he had to submit was for the purpose of making certain alterations in the line and levels of the Stratford-upon-Avon branch, by which a saving of 30,0001. would be made on the.original estimate of 150,0001., and the time for completing the works would be extended for a period of 3 years. The time for completing the mixed gauge on the main line would be extended by the bill until the 31st of Decem ber, 1855. Powers were also contained in the bill authorising the issue of new shares, with power of redemp tion to pay them off at some future time ; to form a junction at the Wolverhampton station, and to establish a provident institution for their men, the company al lowing 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits. The great object they had in view was to obtain an extension of time to complete the works, to raise the necessary capital, and to accommodate the traffic. The receipts would soon average 3.0001. a-week, which would enable them to pay the interest on the borrowed money and on the first preference shares, and on opening the line from Tipton to Wolverhampton, in June next the traffic would gradually increase to 4,0001. per week by the end of the year. He concluded by moving reso lutions approving the bills. A discii;sion ensued, in which Mr. Thorp, Mr. Jessell, Mr. Tomlyn, Mr. Malins, and other shareholders took part, in respect to the proposed arrangement for working the Chipping Norton branch, it being considered that 36 per cent. of the extra gross traffic receipts derived from the branch line, which may be brought on the main line, was too much to allow. Eventually resolutions were passed approving the bills and authorising the directors to make such altera tions in them as may be deemed expedient, and to re serve the right of purchasing the Chipping Norton branch at par. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the directors. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. GREAT WESTERN (STRATFORD). Lord STANLEY reported from the sub-committee that the objects of the bill are merely to empower the Great Western Railway Company to provide additional station accommodation at Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Bushbury, and to make further provision with reference to stopping up Brittle-street, in Birmingham. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER. Lord STANLEY reported from the sub-committee that the objects of the bill are to amend the acts granting certain powers to the Shrewsbury and Chester, and the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Chesire Junction Railway and other companies. The bill does not authorise the execution of any new work, or the raising of any further capital. TOWY VALE. Mr. ADAIR reported from the sub-committee that the object of the bill is to make a railway froth the town of Llandovery to join the Llanelly Railway at 'Llandilo fawr. The capital is 60,0001., and the amount of loan 18,0001. The length of the line is 11 miles 17 chains, and the steepest gradient is 1 in 140 at the junction with the Llanelly Railway. It is proposed to construct the line on the narrow guage, with power to lay down the additional rails to adapt it to the broad guage. It is intended that the line should cross on a level four roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 55,0001., and the quantity of land required is 90 acres. The committee were satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK (DOCKS, &C.) Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the sub-committee that the new works proposed to be constructed are to be executed out of funds which the company are at present authorished to raise. The aggregate length of the lines of railway forming the approaches to the docks at Jarrow Slake is 5 miles 2 furlongs. The estimated cost of the railway and docks is 300,0001., and the quantity of land required 5731 acres. The committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway and works. It is proposed by the bill to em power the Dean and Chapter of Durham to appropriate a portion (not exceeding 5,0001.) of the money payable to them for the purchase of certain waste and other lands which may be required for the proposed works to the endowment of a church near the docks. NORTH YORKSHIRE AND CLEVELAND. Mr. T. EGERTON reported from the sub-committee that the p ropose d cap i ta l o f th e company is 180,0001., and the amount of loan 60,0001. - The length- of the line Is 29 miles 7 furlongs, and the steepest gradient is 1 in 11. It is intended that the line should cross on the level 19 roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 180,0001., and the quantity of land required 2551 acres. The committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. 1 SPORTING INTELT,IGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT THE WEST END.
