TUESDAY, __EVENING 7 , , 4- Z 4 (V * „ ( s e 3 e-. 1 6 11 4 ei z i I Ell're..L. ~„ .ei;stltillit .11t11'. LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 185 In the House of Lords, las;night, some discussion took place on the presentation of a petition by the Earl of GLENGALL, from th e m ill owners of Tipperary, praying for protec t i on aga i nst t h e i mpor t a tion of foreign flour. It, however, led to no result. The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was or dered to be referred to a Select Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, On the motion for going into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, Mr. MoonE moved, as an amendment, "That the standing order which requires in that Bills concerning re li g ion should be first considered n a Committee of the whole House be read, and that the order for the Committee on the Ecelesiatical Titles Assumption Bill be discharged." Sir G. GREY ss id the question h a d b een considered before the introduction of the Bill, and the decision ar rived at was, that the Bill did not come within the scope of the standing order. Mr. ROEBUCK was cf a different opinion. The SPEAKER sai d that unless the spiritnalities of religion were interfered with there would be no necessity for submitti ng t h e Bill in the first instance to a Com mittee of the whole House. Mazt :tuogsgeeasrteehd ttohrataSele precedents.et Committee s h r i r d M be • 11. GRATTAN supported the motion of Mr. MOORE. Mr. REYNOLDS said he vit uld move the appointment of a Select Committee, to search for precedents. The SPEAKER said he could not do so as an amend ment. He could only negative the motion for his leaving the chair. Mr. ReEnucK believed it was competent to move an adjournment of the &hare. The SPEAKER replied in the affirmative; and Mr. REYNOLDS accordingly did so, in order to give time for the appointment of a Committee. Mr. KEOGH said that Mr. BRODIE, Mr. BADDELEY, and Sir FITZROY KELLY considered that the 13111 t•tight to have betu introduc‘d in Committee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL denied that the Bill affected spirit ualitie-. Mr. GLADSTONE w,)uld vote for a Committee to search for precedents, if that question could be brought fairly before the House. Mr. SADLE/R supported the amendment. Lord JOIN RUSSELL opposed, and Mr. BRIGHT sup ported, a reference to a SAect Committee. The House then divided, and tho adjo9rnment of the debate was negatived by a majority of 179 to 53. Mr. LAWLESS then moved the adjournment of the House, which was seconded by Mr. H. GRATTAN. Mr. REYNOLDS said that if Lord JOHN RUSSELL would grant a Committee to inquire into precedents he and his friends would in the mean time allow the Bill to proceed in Ce.mmittee. Sir G. GREY hoped the House, after the recent divi sion, would reject the present motion, and allow the Bill to proceed. Atter some conversation the Rouse again divided, and the motion for adjournment was negatived by a majority of 145 to 36. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL opposed the motion for the Speaker's leaving the °Lair. Mr. URQUHART also opposed the motion. Mr. KEOGH warned the Government against the dan gerous consequences which must attend soy attempt to enforce the provisions of the Bid in Ireland, and con tended that the POPE had received every encourage ment from the Government to act in the manner he had done. Lord JoHN RUSSELL denied that there was any per secution in the proposed measure. It was a political measure trained to repel an open and daring defiance of the SOVEREIGN of this country by the Court of Rome. Mr. BRIGHT could not see any necessity for legisla tion in all that had taken place. Mr. Scuuor moved the adjournment of the debate. The House divided, and the numbers were— For the adjournment . . ... 54 Against it ... 365 Majority ... ...-311 Mr. O'FLAHERTY then moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord J. RUSSELL was in hopes that they might have gone into Committee, brit rather than keep the House dividing all night, he would assent to the adjournment of the debate until Thursday next. The Property Tax Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord SEYHOUR obtained leave to bring in a Bill to make better provision for the management of the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown, and for the direction of public works and buildings. The remaining business was then disposed of, and the House adjourned. forward should have yielded gracefully to the adverse decision. In place of that we find motion after motion for adjournment, the majority in creasing on each division until at length it amounted to no less than 311, there being 54 for and 365 against the adjournment, and yet that over whelming majority were obliged to succumb, and to consent that the motion for going into Committee should be postponed until Thursday next. Under such circumstances it is clear that a Committee of Inquiry must be appointed to inquire and report on the standing orders, and to ascertain the best manner of expediting the progress of legislation in both Houses. It will be observed that a verdict has at length been pronounced in reference to the fatal railway col lision in Cheshire. It will also be remarked that this verdict is couched in language expressive of the most emphatic condemnation. Accidental—purely acci dental—the death is unquestionably pronounced to be, but " with great blame to the executive committee and charge of imprudence and indiscretion against the officers." Such are the preliminary phrases of the verdict, vague but adverse—the subsequent sentence being somewhat more explicit in its reprobation. " There was deficiency," it says, " of loco motive power, and the management was so imperfect as to endanger the safety of the public:' Whether this decision is or is not in all respects cha racterised by truth, it cannot be denied that it has been arrived at after the most mature deliberation. Nothing could be more painstaking than the attention paid throughout to the inquiry by the coroner, or more evidently conscientious than the final opinion expressed by the body of jurymen. From all the circumstances of this case it must from the very out set have been apparent that no adequate precautions were taken to prevent the possibility of any such horrible and disastrous accident. Otherwise it could scarcely have occurred so slowly and deliberately. Warning of some sort must inevi tably have been given of the danger approached by the second train previously to its entrance into the fatal tunnel. From the peculiarity of the occurrence it has suggested itself ts; the minds of the jury that peril of the like kind might henceforth be very readily avoided by the affixing of signals,Avariably, at the mouth of every such:excavation, and by attach ing lights in addition to this upon all occasions to the carriages. Had measures of this description been adopted upon the railway through Cheshire, the survivers of the unfortunate victims of the collision would not have had better cause for lamenting the untimely demise of their friends and relatives. The event referred to should con sequently be taken as a warning of an awfully im pressive character, enforcing upon all the railway companies of the United Kingdom the necessity of adopting the means specified for the avoidance of equally lamentable catastrophes. Considering the terrific power placed by science under the guidance of man in the steam-engine, it must, nevertheless, - be confessed that the marvel is rather that so few fatal accidents have occurred since the inauguration of the railway system than that the public has been oc casionally startled by their announcement. Those who have never chanced to be waiting on the platform of an intermediate station when an express train has roared past and disappeared in the distance can at all realize the extraordinary velocity with which the iron rails are daily traversed. Coupling with this the strange complication of the various lines upon any one of the trunk railroads, and the seemingly inex tricable difficulty of shunting those lines one into an other, according to the passage of the various trains up and down, and in proportion to the lapse of time in the four-and-twenty hours, the wonder is that no more accidents have transpired than those recorded during the last quarter of a century upon the diurnal tablet of the newspaper. Nevertheless, while such may be the surprise experienced in the consideration of this matter by the uninitiated, those who are familiar with the general organization of the system of railways can understand the facilities placed in the way of the authorities for the prevention, under ordinary circumstances, of any really serious catastrophe. With the aid of their customary regulations, with a - strict - adherence to the hours of arrival and departure, with careful attention to th e _ _ There is apparently no art which has been brough\ ;o a higher degree of perfection than that of obstruct: ing the public business of the country. Measures will no longer be carried through Parliament because they are in accordance with public opinion, and are supported by overwhelming majorities in both Houses. The y will pass by the favour of the minorities, be cause they have not excited any strong feelings in the minds of some fifteen or twenty Members, suffi cient to induce those Honourable Gentlemen to enter upon a course of factious opposition. The promise of "dying on the floor of the House" will henceforward be no mere brutum fulmen —no empty threat. Any person really amibitious of martyrdom can accomplish his wishes, provided he can find two or three tough vete rans, men who would be duly qualified to act as " boot -eaters " at Irish state trials, to render their assistance to carry out the laudable undertaking. Indeed, we believe a single follower will suffice, one who can ring the changes on the questions—" That this House do now adjourn," and " that the debate be now adjourned." It is necessary, according to the standing orders, that there should be some intermediate proceeding, before either question can be again proposed. But the spirit of this salu tary rule is violated with impunity by adopting the puerile evasion above indicated, and if a seconder can be found who will act as teller on the division, and vary his position on the next motion, of which he will be the proposer, nothing can be done to stop their course. Two persons can thus overule the wishes of the remaining 654, and can arrest the pro gress of legislation at their mere will and pleasure. This might be a valuable privilege if resorted to only on rare occasions, when desirable to prevent surprise, or a question of real importance being adjudicated on without full and mature consideration. But the matter has now reached a point at which something must be done to abate the nuisance that has gradually sprung up. It is those who have so fearfully abused the power confided to their hands who will be re sponsible for any evils that may arise from the abro gation of the ancient rule. After the time that bad already been devoted to the consideration of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, we might have hoped that no further factious oppo sition would have been offered to the progress of the measure. It was even asserted that the Irish Brigade had come to reason, and determined to change their tactics in some degree. Every legitimate ground would of course remain open. They might argue and divide on the principle and on each of the details, on every stage, where a division could be fairly called for. In so doing, they would command the respect and sympathy (if the House and country.

It consequently behoves the directors of the varibus lines now in ope ration to look cautiously to each and all of the particulars above enumerated, w that is every instance the blame may attach rather to their servants than to themselves. By this method the public interebt would be effectually conserved, and additional reasons would be afforded for attention to their different duties among the officials employed upon the three thousand miles and upwards of railway now in active operation through out England. Rewards of a more attractive kind than those hitherto extended to the servants of the various companies should be held out for the faithfu discharge of duties of a very arduous and responsible description. Punishments in like manner of a more serious and practicable species, such, for example, as the degradation or discharge of the culpable, should be raised in terrorein over the heads of those entrusted with the lives and deaths of their fellow-creatures, inciting them to the more punctilious discharge of duties so peculiarly onerous and important. By this method we feel satisfied that _ .. the whole intricate system of railway management might ultimately be conducted with the precision and regularity of clockwork. THE VISITORS' Lim—Thanks to the enterprise of one of our most indefatigable journalists, the editor not only of the Critic, but of the Journal of the Exhibition, a fly sheet has just been issued from the press at a merely nominal price, and of a singularly useful character. Its title is that of our paragraph. In it are periodically published the names and addresses of the various strangers visiting our metropolis. Those foreigners who have not yet been announced in its columns as among the recent arrivals in London, we would recommend at once to transmit their names to the publisher as a matter to them of very obvious convenience. Besides this interesting catalogue of visitors, the paper comprises an admirable guide to the sights and amusements of the day, lucidly arranged, and containing every particular of any in terest whatsoever. The Visit°, s' List will be found alto gether to be one of the most excellent publications yet offered to the foreigners arriving amongst us for the purpose of witnessing the Exhibition.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, clmprisi,.g 00 _Femora and Maranham at 7 1 ,id. to 7 3 4 d., 150 Egyptian at 71 A d. to 8 300 Surat at 4d. to 4 d., and the remainder chiefly Ameri can. The market was in a declining state, and prices of all kinds were IA d. lower. Railway Shares were heavy at lower prices. Senor Don Manuel Payno arrived in London on Sunday, and this afternoon sent to the Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders the original document executed in their favour for 2,500,000 dolls. out of the American indemnity money. Senor Payno is instructed by his Government to do the needful for the punctual payment of the next dividend, and for the immediate issue of the new bonds. He contra dicts the rumour of any intention on the part of Mexico to negotiate another loan for 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 dolls., on the security of the revenue of the clergy, and says that up to the d tte of the departure of the last packet from Vera Cruz neither had such a loan been broached in Congress, nor had the President received any authority to effect, or Senor Payno any instructions to negotiate one. At a meeting of the Committee of Spanish American Bond holders, held the 9th May, and specially called for the pur pose of considering the Buenos Ayrean debt, it was resolved unanimously : " That this Committee, considering the period has un doubtedly arrived when the financial situation of Buenos Ayres enables her to resume the payment of the dividends in full on the English lean of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., and to enter into an equitable arrangement for its ar rears ; sad also aware that the Government of Buenos Ayres, under its distinguished President, General Roses, is sincerely desirous to re-establish the financial credit of his country, to fulfil the sacred obligations of national faith, and to do full justice to the British bondholders, hereby appoint David Ro bertson, Esq., and Joseph Tasker, Esq., members of their body, to act as a sub-committee in behalf of the thews Ayrean bondholders (toe former gentleman as chairman), to take such steps as they may think fit and proper to effect a settlement of the same at the earliest pccible period, in con junction with, and under the guidance of the Messrs, Airings." The letters by the steam-ship America have been delivered this morning. Bills o f exc h ange on London were in request at 10% to 103,E per cent premium. Public Securities were drooping. About 7,688,000 dollars had exported from New York this year to the 29th ult., being nearly as much as had arrived from Californio. Upcn the subject of the import market it is stated—" The total value of dry goods put upon the market, this week is 856,954 dolls., showing a falling off of 200,195 dolls. compared with the week previous. The value of foreign dry goods put upon the market for the week ending the 2d April was 920,813 dolls. ; week ending 9th, 741,928 dolls. ; week ending 16th, 1,057,149 dolls.: total value for four weeks ending April 23d, 3,579;c444 dolls. The Importations are not large enough to create much remark, and will probably continua through the season at about the same rate they are now coining in. Prices realised thus far this season have not been at all satisfactory, and large losses must be submitted to on stocks now on hand before the fall trade commences. The raw material for most manufactured articles is likely to be much cheaper than at present, and in that event, goods already in the market will stand a very poor chance of pay ing cost." The Wheat crop in Ohio and New York is spoken of as being particularly promising. The Canada advices notice the opening of the navigation, the merchant-ship Toronto having arrived out at Quebec on the 20th ult. This vessel left Liverpool on the 17th March, some days after the London vessel. Some attention has been excited by the proceedings at the Mansion-house yesterday, in connexion with the discharge of a gang of Dutch thieves, in whose possession a consider able amount of bonds was found. The desirability of an ex tradition treaty between England and Holland is clearly shown by the case in point. The English Funds have been rather flatter, and the set tlement of account is gi ing off without difficulty. Consols have been 97 to 974 for Transfer, and 974 for the 10th of June. Bank Stock is worth 211, a slight improvement. Exchequer -bills have been quoted 491. to 525. and India Bonds 535. to 545. prem. The New Three-mad. a. Quarter per Cents. have been 97 3 / to 98. Foreign Securities have been rather heavy. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 19%, an i the Passive 5%, being very firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 334. Brazilian small Stock has realised 89 to 90. The quotation of Mexi can B on d s cont i nues at 35% :Y 4 . Russian Four -and-a-Half per tents. have been 99 to par, and Dutch Four per Cents. 89 %. Danish Bonds are 102 to 103. There is to be a meeting on Thursday of parties interested in the French railways, for which concessions were formerly granted, but which, owing to the political difficuldes among our neighbours, could never be made available. The " caution money" remains in the hands of the French Go vernment, and as new parties are tendering to make the lines, it is feared the amount may be confiscated. To come, there fore, to some arrangement in this respect is the object of the parties interested. The Railway Share Market has not been so depressed as during the last day or two, but no sensible improvement can be noted, and the business doing is very contracted. Good traffic returns would soon give a tone to prices.

The Court was engaged the whole of the morning, trying Mint cases, none of which presented any feature of public interest. MARLBRO'-STREE r-(I'HIS DAY.) THE SOCIETY OF INTERPRETEAS.—IMPORTANT DECISION. —A Frenchman named- Corquin, residing at No. 31, Lisle street, hoho, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for using threatening and abusive language towards Mr. C. Benzoni, 17, Duke-street, St. James's, late secretary to the Society of Interpreters. Mr. Fisher, from the office of Mr. Dod. 16, Great Marl borough-street, appeared for the complainant, and stated that this was a summons granted by Mr. Bingham fur an assault. Complainant had, however, no desire to press the charge; the otject was merely to protect him from the an noyances to which he was frequently subjected. Mr. Ben zoni had been secretary to a society called the Society of In terpreters • he had exerted him& lf most successf u lly i n i ts for mation, and had devoted much time and great attention to its interests, but owing to the conduct ofcertain parties Mr.Benzoni had recently resigned the office, his resignation had been duly announced, and his solicitor had, on his behalf, signified his readiness to render his accounts, which would show the so ciety indebted to him in a small balance. An impression, however, had been created (most erroneously) that Mr. I Benz mi was indebted to the society, and in consequence the complainant had been continually annoyed by the +efendant and other members, demanding of him in no very courteous tetras the return of their subscriptions. Mr. Benzuni had been sued in the County Court by one of the members, and it had been there decided that he was in no way liable; but the defendant and others, dissatisfied and nut duly impressed with the non-liability of complainant, were disposed to in sult him on all occasions. Mr. Fisher said he was desirous only That defendant should enter into his own recognizance nut to repeat the insult and threat he had been guilty of. Mr. HARD WICK said he must do so. The defendant said, as far as he was concerned he would; but there were 85 members who would still insult the com plainant whenever they met him. Mr. HARDWICK said, if they did the whole 85 must go to p r i s on. If the complainant was indebted to the society the're was a proper course to pursue to bring him to au ac count. Mr. Hardwick then bound the defendant over in 401. to keep the peace for three months. Montague GabriellVewton, a young gentleman residing at 33, Woburn-place, Russell -square, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at Mr. Genese's, 125, Jermyn-street. Mr. Genese stated that about five o'clock this morning the defendant came into his house in a state of intoxica tion, and created a great noise and disturbance, to the great annoyance of the customers. Witness requested him to leave the house, and on his refusing to do so, he sent for a constable and gave him in charge. The defendant stoutly denied the charge, and could, if time was allowed him, bring forward witnesses to prove that he was quite sober. Lester, 142 C, proved that the defendant was very (hunk when lie took him in charge. The defendant was fined the usual drunkard's fine of ss. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —( THIS DAY.)

Victoria, New A CAPTAIN IN THE GUARDS COMMITTED TO THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—Captain Paulet Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards, was yesterday committed by Mr. Hardwick, the Marlborough -street magistrate, for ten days to the House of Correction, for having horsewhipped Police constable Griffin, while stationed at the Great Exhibition. The prisoner, who was driving a phaeton and pair, violated the regulations issued by the Police Commissioners with re gard to carriages, and when remonstrated with by Griffin, struck the officer several times across the face with his whip, so violently as to draw blood, and then drove off at a rapid pace, but was afterwards stopped. His excuse was that he had not been treated with that civility that a gentleman had a right to expect. The gallant Captain seemed in a state of most uncomfortable bewilderment as he was led off to the lock-up cell. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAIL.. MARKET NE WS—(THIS DAY.)

Mr. BETHELL, for the Great Western Railway, having concluded his argument, Mr. Maeues opened his reply this morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER.) HEAP it, TuNGUE. This case came on fcr judgment this morning. The plaintiff is the nephew of Win. Heap, who in the year 1845 died intestate, leaving a widow and several more col lateral descendants. From the affidavits it appeared that in the month of October of the same year a voluntary agree ment was executed by all parties to share the estate of the deceased Wm. Heap equally among themselves. In 1848, however, another agreement was executed by all the parties except the plaintiff, by which he genera estate was made liable to certain mortgages, and the tit le deeds handed over to the mortgagees. The plaintiff' now prayed to have the original deed carried into effect, and declared valid as regarded the mortgagees. His Hosonet granted a decree complying with the prayer of the petition.

EXCHEQUER.—(rtus DAY.) THE DUKE Or BUCKINhIIAINI AND CHANDOS V. THE COM. ISIISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE. The LORD Cum? BARON delivered judgment in this case, which came before the Court on an appeal under the Stamp Act, against the decision of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, who had required that a stamp to the value of 1,0001. should be placed on a deed of settlement made between the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and other parties, and bearing date the 27th of May, 1847. This deed was in substance a conveyance during the Duke's lifetime of his interest in cer tain large estates, subject to certain mortgages, an nuities, and other charges, for the purpose of rais ing the sum of 1,500,000/. The Commissioners were of opinion, though no sum was mentioned in the deed, yet that it ought to be stamped with so ad valorem stamp. The Court were now of opinion that the deter mination of the Commissioners was wrong. It was a well established rule in the construction of revenue Acts, that a duty could not be imposed except by the clear and express words of the statute, and the Court considered that the terms of this particular Act of Parliament did not bear out the construction which the Commissioners had placed on them. There was no purchase or consideration money expressed in the deed, and the transaction could not be treated as a sale. The Court were satisfied that the Crown had not made cut a right to charge an ad valorem duty on the deed, and there fore judgment must be for the appellant. Judgment for the appellant accordingly. (Sittings in Banco.) THE VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY V. SAWYER,--JUDGMENT. The LOUD CHIEF BARON yesterday delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which was a sp ec i a l ease d i rected for the opinion of their Lordships by an order of Mr. Baron Aide: son. The question to be determined upon the state of facts set out in the case was, whether the Vauxhall-bridge Company were liable to be rated to the land-tax in respect of the tolls which they collected on their bridge. It appeared that the company were incorporated under the Act of the 49th Ge :rge 111. , c. 142, which gave them the power to pur chase land and to form the approaches to the bridge, and to take tolls for passengers and goods traffic. The Court were of opinion, however, that the first section of the second Act expressly showed an intention on the part of the Legislature that this de:eription of property should be subject to the tax, and the company must be held liable to pay it in respect of the tolls they collected, as coming under the denomination of an "hereditament." Judgment for the defendant accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY GLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.)

TUNNEL.--PRESTON, MONDAY.--The seventh day of this protracted inquiry was passed in taking additional evidence from various persons present at the catastrophe, and from Captain Laffan, the Government engineer. The coroner at great length summed up the voluminous evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with great blame to the executive committee, and a charge of imprudebce and indiscretion against the officers; there was deficiency of locomotive power; the management was imperfect, endangering the safety of the public. Signals a t each end of the tunnel and lights in the carriages were re. commended. THE CAPE MOUNTED RIFLES.—Upon disbanding a portion of this force, on the ground of disaffection, Sir H.

Whatever may be the infatuation which has led to this melancholy defection in a corps where once a truly military spirit alone existed, Lieutenant-Colonel Napier and the officers of the Cape Mounted Rifles have exerted themselves to the uto oat to avert it; their conduct upon all occasions is of the highest order, whether in the field before an enemy, or in quarters; and truly does the Commander-in-Chief, as well as every British officer and soldier in this command, sympathize in their naturally wounded feelings.
