The House of Lords met at Five o'clock, and ad journed in half an hour, after forwarding several Bills a stage. The Commons met at Four. The several orders of the day were read and postponed, after which, Lord ASHLEY moved for leave to bring in two Bills for the regulation of lunatic asylums in Eng land and Wales. His Lordship, in order to prove the necessity of his measures, entered at considerable length into the statistics of lunacy. Sir J. GRAHAM, in seconding the motion, passed a high eulogium on the character of Lord ASHLEY, and said that the Government had considered the measure, and gave it their most cordial support, and he stated it as his opinion, that private asylums, even where there was only one patient, should ba subjected to frequent visitation and supervision. Lord CLEMENTS was desirous of a more efficient mea sure for the regulation of lunatic asylums in Ireland, the one introduced by Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE was quite insufficient. Mr. Fox MAULE urged the necessity of amending the law regulating lunatic asylums in Scotland. The LORD-ADVOCATE wished to see the result of this measure as regarded England before extending it to Scotland. After a few words from Sir G. STRICKLAND, Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr. HENLEY, and Mr. WYNN, the mo tion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at Seven o'clock. We observe that, after a session of exemplary forbear ance, certain of the Peers aro beginning to evince serious displeasure with the-architect of the New Houses of Par liament, Mr. BARRY, on account of the apparently inter minable delay in providing any better accommodation for the Lords than that which they have been so long compelled to put up with. It must be confessed that the Chamber in which they meet is absolutely disgraceful— even as a " make shift" for the purposes of so dignified an Assembly. Its wretched lighting, its miserable di mensions, its ventilation which, like the Satyr in the Greek fable, blows hot and cold at one and the same time, and the manner in which the galleries are projected into the area of the chamber, render it at once the most paltry and the most inconvenient saloon in which a great legislative body was ever assembled, not withstanding the be-crimsoned hangings and cushions and coverings which every where obtrude the contrast of splendid drapery to the most homely carpetry. Here and there a small window piercing the walls, at two thirds of their height from the floor, has an effect of Cyclopean awkwardness and insufficiency in relation to the huge blank which they reveal rather than give light or air to the interior. Mr. BARRY has promised fairly enough, over and over again, that, at all events, the ac commodation for the Lords would be ready ere this ; and as it seems that, in October next, eleven years will have passed since the old Parliament Houses were burnt down, it does not seem unreasonable in Lord BROUGHAM to complain of his utter faithlessness. About a year and a half ago we directed attention to the report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords, on the progress of the edifice generally, but specially on the extraordinary departures which Mr. BARRY had made from the designs approved and settled by former Lords' Committees appointed for the purpose, and which departures, involving a huge additional gallery super added, in very bad taste, to the designs so settled, ap proved, reported upon, and adopted, was severely cen sured by the Lords as utterly unauthorised. The new gallery and other features, which Mr. BARRY affected to consider himself at liberty to add, under the general discretion reserved to an architect, will cost the country, it is understood, at least 150,0001., in addition to the enormous sums already expended on this immense pile ; and when Mr. BARRY was pressed in his examination by the Peers, on the occasion we refer to, he acknowledged that the altera tions had not originated with himself, but were the crude suggestion of some unauthorised party, by acquiescing in whose notions of " effect," and the necessity for a greater surface applicable to the display of decorative art, &c. &c., Mr. BARRY must, ere this, have had the satisfaction of discovering that he has marvellously com promised the unity and character of his own design, and given much offence—not to say disgust—to the truly constituted authorities, to whom he was bound to have referred the question of these additions, or excrescences rather, before one stone was squared for their construction Lord BROUGHAM affirmed, and his remark appeared to be acquiesced in, that Mr. BARRY'S assurances were net worth the paper they were written on ; but if the Learned Lord would be at the trouble of ascertaining how much labour and time, as well as money, have been devoted to the excrescent new gallery, designed and built upon the unwritten "suggestions" in question, he would little marvel at the delay which has constantly intervened in the progress of the New Chamber for the Lords. From the first exposure of this affair by a Noble Peer, whose own distinguished taste and ability as an architect gave great value to the state ments, we were quite satisfied that the other portions of the work would always be liable to what we must term the same "liberties" which Mr. BARRY was guilty of, in disfiguring the settled designs by an addi- Von so utterly unwarrantable, and in itself so objec tionable. What Lord BROUGHAM can mean by de claring that Mr. BARRY fancies he has beyond the House protection so powerful that he is regardless of any displeasure within it, we do not stop to inquire; but if Mr. BARRY do indulge in any such fancies, we quite concur with the Noble and Learned Lord that he will find himself egregiously mistaken. It is really high time that some progress more rapid and decided towards the completion of the interior works, necessary for the accommodation and business of the Legislature, were made, instead of Mr. BARRY'S occupying so large a portion of the means and the staff which he has at his disposal (to an extent, we believe, unprecedented in the annals of public works executed in England), on the multiplication of those heraldic monsters which com pose the multitudinous menageries in stone that are to attest to future ages what were considered the appro priate effigies and decorations of the palace of the Bri tish Legislature. Whether the appropriation of these quadruped supporters to the arms of all our Kings, from WILLIAM the Norman, down to RICHARD IL, the latter of whom first assumed them, is another of the gratuitous caprices which enter into Mr. BARRY'S definition of the " discretion " of an architect, we know not. But it is very clear that the time be. stowed on chiselling these works of superogatory heraldry on stone, supporters for two Williams, three Henries, one Stephen, one Richard, one John, and three Edwards, who never carried them (according to a writer in the Art Union, from whom we derive the fact and the authority), might be more properly bestowed in advancing the accommodation of Parliament. However, Mr. BARRY is in Lord BROUGHAM'S hands, and if he cannot plead satisfactorily to the charges that Learned Lord may prefer against him, we wish him, rather than hope fur him, " a good deliverance." It is always contended by the friends of the Established Church that the general conduct of its ministers must have been highly meritorious—otherwise the laity would not have consented, during many ages, to contribute so munificently to its endowment and their maintenance. The argument is a sufficiently fair one. We should be inclined to give any other parties the benefit of it, cateris paribus—why not the Church? But like all other argu ments, its application may be inconveniently extended beyond the limits at which those who have benefited it under one condition of circumstances would desire to see it pushed under another. The converse of the pro position may be disagreeable, but it is not the less forcible, namely, that if the general conduct of the minis ters of the Established Church be not highly meritorious, the laity will not continue in future to make such liberal provision for their endowment and maintenance. Now to that clergy we desire to commend this latter consi deration, because we take them to be worldly wise, and shrewd enough, in their generation. In proportion as they are so, the argument will weigh with them as sig nificant and cogent; and may thus produce a more salu tary effect upon their conduct and deportment than twenty episcopal charges or ordination sermons. It may be a sordid motive to perseverance in a. just and upright course to hold out the probable loss of temporal wealth and station as the penalty of kdeparture from it; but, if it be an efficacious one, we shall not quarrel with it. Now—without any desire invidiously to recur to by gone delinquencies—we may remark that the last two years have been sufficiently fruitful of clerical offenders, contra bones mores, on the one hand (in those against whom irregular, vicious, and even licentious courses have been established), and contra bonds consuetudines, on the other (in such as have set aside the old established forms and rituals of the service to introduce new and offensive changes therein). The clergy, as a, body, will do well to bethink them how seriously these frequent exposures of the criminal weaknesses of individual members of it, must be calculated to prejudice and compromise them in the public estimation. People will be very apt to in dulge in very impertinent and disagreeable speculations on the expediency of cutting down the scale of the con tributions they pay in aid of the endowments in ques tion, for the support of a hierarchy, more particularly, who certainly have revenues of an amount scarcely com patible with the purity and simplicity of•the " rule of life" affected by the teachers of a reformed Church, which owes its existence entirely to the excessive cor ruption, wealth, and luxury of the older Church that it has superseded among us. For these reasons, we are as much astonished as scandalised when we read of dig nitaries of our Establishment committing themselves to any proceedings that bring them into collision with their flocks, or their subordinate functionaries, and make them parties to appeals to legal and spiritual tribunals, where the very fact of their appearing is calculated to damnify them, and to injure the moral character and authority of their sacred calling. Is there no teaching these gentlemen the value of decorum ?—the impressive merit, in their case, of unobtrusive quietness. Very many days have not elapsed since we brought under the notice of our readers the case of the pluralist rector of Oakingham, in Berks, patron, rector, and in cumbent of the church and living, and Dean of Salis bury, withal. We showed that in consequence of the alarming state of dilapidation into which the parish church had fallen, the parishioners had vainly applied to, and attempted to negotiate with, the Dean and his lessee, to induce them to repair, in conjunction with the parishioners, the chancel and the fabric. The evasive bandying of the parishioners between Mr. Dean and Mr. Lessee, the architect of the one and the surveyor of the other, and the no-result of the business will not, we sur mise, be easily forgotten. It appears from certain " Re solutions" agreed to at a meeting of the inhabitants of Oakingham, on Monday last, to determine on the steps proper to be taken for tha repairs of the edifice, and making further provision for the cure, that the Most Rev. the Dean is still contumacious ; that on the part of his lessee he offers to subscribe 1001• towards the re building of the chancel, on the express condition that he should be released from all further charge or demand on that score by the parish ; that the meeting expressed their astonishment at such a proposition, which Mr. Dean must have well known when he made it that the churchwardens could not comply with, inasmuch as they have no powers by law to enter into any such arrangement. And the meeting, seeing the Dean would not co-operate with the pa rishioners, instructed the churchwardens to repair and uphold the chancel at the least pbssible expense, and to maintain the fabric as far as possible, in its present condi tion, &c. We should like to ask the Dean of Salisbury whe ther he falls back upon an inward consciousness of such pure and disinterested affection for the Church that has advanced him to so high a rank among her servants, — upon the personal humility of a servant only anxious to exalt the glory of his LORD, to render all worldly as well as spiritual homage to his Divine Master in the careful maintenance of His time-honoured temples,—that he can thus afford to repudiate the respect and insult the affec tions of his flock ? That he is thus content to earn an un becoming notoriety among those dignified ministers of the Establishment who will give least towards the keeping up of religious fabrics, which it should be their pride as it is their duty to preserve and cherish, because they re ceive most from the congregations to whose personal wishes and comfort they are so palpably indifferent ? That he will thus venture to challenge public indigna tion at his emphatic determination to keep his pockets full, though he thereby render the church empty ? Per tinacity of this kind offers but sorry prospects to those friends of the Establishment who are anxious to see her recovering, by all exercises of Christian humility, active charity, brotherly love, and true and unsordid zeal for her honour, whatever influence or authority sh© is said by some to have lost through the proselytising energy and uncompromising devotion of her Roman Catholic rivals ! Another conflict is anticipated in Switzerland. It appears that the Ultramontaine party in Lucerne, under the influence of the Jesuits, meditates an attack on Argau, a neighbouring canton, which refuses to-accede to their terms. Their object is to assist the insurgents at Freiamt, and overturn the existing Government of Argau. The Zurich Gazette says 2,000 volunteers from Lucerne are ready to move upon the expediton. This movement has caused great excitement in some of the Protestant cantons, but up to the 31st ult. no col lision had taken place. According to intelligence from Madrid of the 30th ult. the excitement caused by the illegal proceedings against the press continued unabated, but the public peace had not been disturbed. The Gazette publishes the treaty concluded between Spain and Morocco , signed by the Plenip o t en ti ar i es o f t h e two countries and the British Consul, Mr. DRU3IMOND HAY, as mediator. By this treaty the frontier of Ceuta shall be re-esta blished such as it was conformably to the 15th article of the treaty of recce. The EMPEROR engages to pre vent the Moors on the frontier of Melilla, Penon, and Alhucema from molesting either the inhabitants of those places or the vessels approaching the coast. The QUEEN arrived at Almunza on the 28th. and was to enter Valentia next day. The 'Direr: per Cents. cio34,d at 32 tor cash, arid :;zsi at 60 days ; ti,e Five per Cects. at 22 13-16 for cash, and 23k at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8 at 60 days. The Paris papers contain long comments on the new treaty for the suppression of the slave trade ; but, with the exception of the Messager and Journal des Debats, they are of little importance. The former journal points out en error in the translation which relates to the right of search ; and states that, by the 10th article, it is abolished, and not suspended, as inferred from the text published by the London journals. " The conventions of 1831 and 1833," says that journal, "cannot be re established but by the previous . concert and common consent of the two Governments; and in default of this common consent, they are, at the end of ten years definitively abrogated. This is what results from the very text of that article. As to Article 8, when the instructions annexed to it shall have been published, it will be evident that they only go to regulate the execution of a principle of the right of nations, conformably to the constant practice of the French navy, to the precedents of our laws, and esta blished in the same form, in the same terms, by the official documents of the Government of the United States." The Chamber of Deputies had passed the Colonial Bill by a majority of 193 to 52, and also a second Bill for the introduction of free labourers into the Colonies by a still greater majority-215 to 20. The sum of 18,140,000 f. was voted for extraordinary works at Dun kirk, Grenoble, Lyons, and for the sea-ports of Brest, L'Orient, Rochfort, and Toulon.

Amongst the rumours regarding the Colleges about to be established in Ireland, it has reached us that Dr. Cook, of Belfast, and Dr. Kirwin, of Galway, are named as likely to he the future Presidents of-the respective colleges of these places. If clergymen be eligible to these responsible situations (and we cannot see why they should not be considered the most eligible) we do not think a better selection could possibly be made. These gentlemen's acquirements, talents, and liberality of opinions are well known to the country, and held in the highest estimation by persons of the religi ous professions to which they belong. And we have no doubt their appointment will prove equally acceptable to the Presbyterians of the north, and to the Catholics of Connaught. The " Chinese Collection," at Hyde Park, is ad vertised for sale. In these days of awakened attention ding to the int e ll ectual wants of our people, and the cultiva tion of all b ranches of useful and popular knowledge ; when a Bill i s actually pen in Parliament for the better establishment of museums in great towns ; we should have been disposed to hope that her Majesty's Government would have regarded the " Chi• nese Collection" as an acquisition well worthy securing for the nation. Of all the people congregated together under one sceptre and one system of civil, political, and social institutions, on any part of the surface of the globe, and at any period of its known history, the Chinese, it is not too much to say, are the most marvellous, and in some respects the most interesting. Of all the States over which European civilisation has extended itself, England, beyond all competition, has established the most extensive, the most beneficent, and, we may now trust, the most permanent relations with that vast -but jealous empire. To commemorate the spirit, the enterprise, the liberality, the valour, and the inflexible perseverance which have been mani fested by her in establishing her mercantile colonies in those remote regions, we can imagine no means more admirably calculated than the careful deposit and pre nervation of such a collection as this of articles illustra tive of the social character, the domestic manners, the arts, and the refinement of that many-peopled nation. Instead of allowing it to be broken up, sold piecemeal, and dispersed into a thousand hands, it ought to be purchased by us, as that European nation which first rendered potent to the rest of the world the resources of so stu pendous an Asiatic empire. That the collection should have been made by an American gentleman does not at all affect this view of the question; for without the pre vious establishment of the paramount authority of the English among all the other " barbarian " races at Canton, the collection itself could never have been made. The extraordinary patronage it has already found with those classes among us who have had the opportunity and means of visiting it, may afford a just notion of the value it would possess with the whole British public, if rendered gratuitously accessible to their inspection and study. The costumes, the spirited and admirable models, large as the life, of men and womtn of various races composing part of the great Chinese family, the superb speci mens o f nat i ve manufac tures, and the elegant glimpses afforded of the interior economy of their houses, temples, &c., combine to ren der this exhibition one of the most pop u l ar an d instruc tive that was ever seen in London. We heartily trust t hat arrangements may be made to prevent its being taken out of the country; and it would b e a grea t reflec tion on oar public spirit if we hesitated to purchase it for the nation, on the fair and equitable terms which we should suppose would be those required for it, MAYNOOTH BILL DIVISION HOUSE OF LORDS.

There is an increase shown in the Bank of England's issue of notes last week to the amount of 223,1901., while its stock of gold and silver was 15,635,7351. in the Issue Department, and 776,243/. in the Banking Department, giving an in crease of 139,227/. The Rest is less by 10,216/. The Public and Private Securities together increased upwards of one million sterling. L The Scotch banks, during the four weeks ending the 31st ultimo, increased their circulation of promissory notes by 356,011/. The Irish banks, on the contrary, lessened theirs by 125,269/., probably in order the better to meet the con templated operation of the proposed new Currency Bill. The Public Securities have been heavy again. Consols are marked 99% to par for present Transfer, and 99 for Ac count. Exchequer-bills are down to 595. to 60s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. obtain 102% to 102%. Bank Stock is about 211. The accounts from the Madrid Bourse, where the excessive speculation carried on has resulted in most serious losses, causes the value of Spanish Stock to rule heavy here. The Five per Cents. have been 29% 4, and the Three per Cents. 41 1 / 3 / 4 ; Portuguese Converted have realised 67 14. Mexi can are flatter at 37 3 % to 38 1 % ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 63 4 % to %. Railway Shares are still fluctuating, but there is a good deal doing. The disposition is rather to sell.

This insolvent, who had formerly carried on business in South Audley-street, as a dealer in foreign fancy goads, came up for his final order. The circumstances of his case are rather important. It appears that he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act about two years ago for debts amounting to nearly 4,0001., but in that schedule he had omitted the debts on accommodation bills, which had driven him to the present application; and he now sought protection against those debts. The insolvent now came up with an amended schedule, having inserted the whole of the debts in the schedule in the Insolvent Court. The insolvent claimed his protection under the new law as a non-trader, having given up business, and that none of the old debts were contracted within the time limited under the Act. The Learned COMMISSIONER expressed his opinion that the in solvent must be considered as a trader. It was, however, best for the insolvent to undergo an examination, and, if it turned out he wag a trader, of course the petition would be dismissed. BRIGHTON AN!) CHICHESTER RAILWAY.—(TIIIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company took place to-day at the London terminus, for the purpose of con. sidering, in accordance with the standing orders of the House of Loids, the draft of a Bill for making a railway from the Brighton and Chichester Railway to Portsmouth, with a branch to Fareham.

Resolved,—" That the Directors be, and they are hereby em. powered, to make such alterations and amendments in the said Bill as they may think fit, or be advised, or as Parliament may require, and to affix the common seal of the Company thereto if necessary."
