IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat ou tho woolsack at five o'clock.. CERIUM RATES ABOLITION MLL. Tho Earl RUSSELL Raid that he had :iready atate•l that although he, did not think it neces_ary, he would adopt the ainendinnit of the Lord Privy Seal, and would consent to a select commit tee, and that ho new moved. The Earl of 3IALMEiItUIIY sail that by the bill being moved to a select committee, it- would nak,3 a better bill of it in every respect. Lord LYVEDEN was perfectly sure that this bill was a good one, and therefore was sorry that it wa.t not to be argued in open court, where every point for -md against the bill might be nrt le public. lii therefore obj.scted to this bill being referred to a select committee. His opinion was that the bill was one for Churchmen, and that for the sdce of the Church church -rates ought to b 3 abolished. As for 'Nonconformists he did not take them into conside ration, for all of them were bound to bow to a majo rity ; but in. every vestry in England they had become a religious question, and therefore he thought they ought to be abolished. The present bill brought before a com mittee ho did not think would carry out the reform neces sary in its integrity, and it might end in a rejection of the bill, which he thought would be an injury to the church. He wanted it distinctly to be understood by the public that there was no reason in the matter. - The Duke of RICHMOND considered that the noble lord misunderstood what would be the result of tttj com mittee. It appeared that the noble lord thought that if the bill were referred to a select committee it would make the publiCiiiit 'Of doors constdartint that-house -ve,+re-ia c.tpable of dealing with the question. He ventured, how ever, to think that a select committee of their lordships' house would be a better tribunal than if it were brought before the whole house. The noble lord 86.311 ml to think th .t the purpose was to smother the bill, but he, on behalf of the Government., could say that it would only tend to elucidate more clearly all the points of the bill. For that reason he was glad that it should be referred to a select committee. The Duke of SOMERSET said that it appeared that the bill was referred to a select committee for two points to be discussed, and therefore there was no reason why they should in committee go into the general question of the abolition of church rates or not. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that it was not a Government question, and he could hardly say whether the general question should be discussed or not. The motion was then agreed to. OYSTER AND MUSSEL FISHERY •BILL. This bill was committed and passed. LEGIT IM A CY DECLARATION (IRELAND) BILL. The Commons' amendments were agreed to. PETITION BILL.

On the motion of the Earl of DEVON the name of the Earl of Stradbroke was added to the select committee on I this bill. The house then adjourned. • HOUSE OF COMNIONS—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. Miles, Mr. Welsh, Mr. Welby, and Mr. Turner took the oath and their seats. FUEL FOR STEDISHIPS. In reply to Mr. HEADLAM P Lord G. LENNOX said the reason that north country coals were excluded from the recent contracts issued by the Admiralty was because smokeless Welsh coal was considered the best for steaming purposes by the com manders on foreign stations. OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE THAMES. In reply to Mr. HARDCASTLE, Mr. CAVE said the piles in the river near the Hunger ford-bridge belonged to the Waterloo and Whitehall Railway, which was at present at a stand-still for want of funds. The company had, however, this session applied for an extension of time; at the same time the company had applied for an extension of time for the con struction of th.sir works until 1870, stating that all the works over the river would b' completed by that tint..

Mr. REAIIDEN asked the Sen-etary of State for th e H ome Department whether it was his Mention to rec..intnend to the Crown the respiting of 1113 pri soner Michael B irrett, against whom a verdict of guilty Was returned by the jury, and sentence of d,ath passed by the judge on his trial at the Old Miley on the 27th inst., notwithstanding the sworn testimony of six wit nesses, who proved that the prisoner was not in England at the time the crima was committed for which he has been found guilty, in order to afford the prisoner an op portunity of producing further evidence to establish his innocence. Mr. HARDY said he regretted that any member of the house should have felt it his duty to put such a question to him. (Hear, hear.) Ho should decline to answer it. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. REARDEN then gave notice that he should call the attention of the house to the subject on Monday next. THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. In reply to Sir P. O'BRIEN, Sir J. PAKINGTON said the delay in filling up the vacancy in the Coldstream Guards in succession to Lieut.- Colonel Clive was not connected with any intention to reduce the number of of f icers, but by the non-qualification by service of a number of ensigns in the regiment. T iziE IRISH CHURCH. Sir C. LANYON asked the right hon. member for South Lancashire whether, when he presented a petition on the 27th inst. from the Presbytery of Antrim, in favour of his resolutions, and against the further grant of the Regium Donum, he was aware that said presbytery was altogether unconnected with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, and that the said Pres bytery was altogether an Unitarian body, and did not re present the feelings of the Presbyterians of the General Assembly of Ireland. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed his surprise at such a question being put to him. He should not sly whether or not he was aware of the matter referred to, but he believed he had correctly described the body petitioning, viz., the non-subscribing Presbytery of Antrim. (Hear, hoar.) On the motion for going into committee on the resolu tions moved by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. SURTEES moved that the clerk at the table read the words of the Roman Catholic oath as they existed before the alteration in 1866. (Loud cheers and cries of " No, no.") Mr. BODVERIE and Mr. GLADSTONE rose together amidst great excitement in the house, when there were loud cries for the latter. Mr. BOUVEREE refused to give way. Ho said he did not think it was competent according to the rules of the house to move that certain words of an act that had been repealed should bo read by the clerk at the table. (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") Mr. GLADSTONE moved a direct negative to the mo tion of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Surtees). (Loud cheers, and cries of " Chair, chair.") The SPEAKER said he thought the words of the oath would apply tothe persons who had taken it at the time of the alteration, yet the question that remained with the house was, whether the present time was proper for read log it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE again r6se and said he opposed the motion, because it was calculated to stir up the embers of re ligious animosity—(cheers)—because it would tend to nar row the privileges of hon. members by placing some apparent opinion between the Roman Catholic members and the great and solemn duty they had to perform. (Cheers, cries of "No, no," "Read, read," and great ex citement.) Mr. DISRAELI hoped his hon. friend would not per severe in his motion. If he wished to refer to an his torical document which had now become obsolete, h e could do so in his speech. (Cheers.) It could serve no good purpose by his insisting on the words being read. (Cheers.) Mr. SLRTEES said, after the intimation from the Speaker that he considered the words still binding he should withdraw the motion. ("No, no," and calls for a division.) The SPEAKER, however, put the question, when it was negatived by an immense majority of '•noes," fol lowed by loud cheering. The adjourned debate was then resumed S:r M. BEACH argued against the motion for dis endowment, but admitted the present distribuilon of the revenues of the Church was unjust, He thought that the late elections, especially Bristol, showed that the people were not in favour of the proposition of the right hOn. gentleman opposite, because had such been the case, a person pledged to support the Church in Ireland would not have been returned. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN said, whatever was said of the Irish members, it could not be alleged that th9y had con tributed to the length of the present debate. As it was the got desire that the diTisio4 ahould be taken that evening ho should now occupy the attention of the house but a very few minutes. Ho thought the matter had been virtually decided when the " motion was car ried for going into committee, and that the goutlemen who now occupied the Treasury Bench were not, in fact, the governing power of the country, but that they were in truth the Opposition. ((fear.) It could not be said that the result of the division was owing to the assistance of either the Irish or Scotch meinb,rs, it was a majority composed of all parties, E gust,, Irish, and Scotch. (Hoar, hoar.) If the division list was r•forred to it w.Juld he fcunil that 211 Eiglish meol'iurs vet I for t proposition of the right hon. gontionrin the to enb.A- for South Dineashiru, an 1 o ily 212 fir her Mejesty's Government. (Hear.) There wore 37 Scotch members for and only 13 against going into commlice, and with rosrct to t h t) Irish nt,co`)ers thcro w,re 51 agal,:t a7;11 only 4 in favour of the procrastinating policy of the Government. After a long discussion, Mr. GLADSTONE roar', and after remarking on the ex traordinary reluctance of Mr. Disraeli to take part in the debate, went on to point out that it. had turned upon ex traneous points, and that no one had attempted to defend the Irish Church on its merits. But this was not surpris ing, for it never had and never could discharge the duty of an Establishment—it never had been nor could be more than the Church of a fraction. Reminding the house that two policies had been submitted to it—one of procrastina tion, the other of immediate action—for neither side denied that the present state of things was unendurable—he pointed out that Mr. Disraeli's plan of joint endowment had been repudiated by members of his own Cabinet and by his followers. He declined distinctly to answer Mr. Walpole's questions referring entirely to the details of a measure which could only Tice brought in by the Executive Government, and as he had not lightly undertaken the task, and should not shrink from any responsibility in connection with it, he would not peril a great public inte rest by stepping now beyond the province of a private member. It was sufficient to say that the object of the motion was to do an act of justice to Ireland. Comment ing on the charges of "conspiracy" he remarked that had time permitted it would be easy to prove that the Church party, which was represented to be plotting for this mea sure of disestablishment, was at the very moment work ing for Mr. Disraeli. But the supporters of the mo tion claimed to be in spontaneous alliance with the party all over the world which was striving to break down the system of religious ascendancy. (dear.) Discussing the objections to the Resolutions, he declared, with reference to the danger to the Church of England, that there was no reasonable ground for fearing it would be injuriously affected, for to remove a bad establishment was not to weaken a good one. As to the time there were three grounds for moving in the question now. Pu'dic opinion had made a remark able advance ; the Government thernsolves had opened the question of the religious condition of Ireland ; and the third reason was the state of Ireland itself, where peace was only secured by the exercise of the overwhelming power of England. To the objection that disestablishment would alienate tbo Protestants, he protested warmly against the doctrine of exclusive loyalty, fed by exclusive privi leges, and applying the experience of our colonial admini stration, he predicted that a policy of equal justice would develope the "British party" until it included every sane asd intelligent man in Ireland. He criticised next, in terms of stringent severity, Lord Derby's recent speech, declaring, amid loud cheers, ;that he for one would not consent to take the word of command from the House of Lords, and concluded by urging the house, in an eloquent peroration, to accept the resolution, not as a panacea, but part of a policy which would add to the strength and glory of the empire. _ Mr. DISRAELI, who made an unusually brief reply, commenced by explaining that he bad not risen before Mr. Gladstone because, the two previous speakers had argued on his own side. He objected to disestablishment —first, because it would be injurious to Ireland by re viving old animosities, and he remarked that hitherto no ground of objection had been taken to the Church but the abstract assertion that it was unjust to the people of Ire land. But he showed that it was not unjust to the whole people, and, being only a partial injustice, it was not susceptible of so easy a solution as total disendowtnent. Besides, its abolition inight.be equally unjust to other por tions of her Majesty's subjects. Heobjected to it, too, be cause it interfered with the rights of property, and if this was to be done on the allegation that the Church did not fulfil the purposes for which it was created, the process could not stop there. The property of some of the great • Loudon companies, -which certarnly did not fulfil their original duties, woull b) in danger. It was impossible yet to predict what public op - niOn would be upon the ques tion ; but the idea of the Royal supremacy—our only se curity for religious I:l3lrty, and a great safeguard of our civil rights - was deeply engrained in the public mind of England, and it was upon such considerations as this, and not on a few local abuses, that the question of an Esta bli,hed Church must be judged. Mr. Disraeli concluded by e xplaining, in answer to some complaints made in the course of the debate, that he had n used the word " Re mauist" i❑ an offensive sense, and vindicated his statement as to the combination of Ritualists aud Roma,uists. Sir F. HEYGATE having withdrawn his amendment, t h e Committee divided on the first R.,solution, and the numbers were-- For the Resolution Against it ... Majority against the Government, 65 The announcement of the numbers was received with, loud cheers by the Opposition, and when it had died away Ur. DISRAELI rose and said—The division having altered the relations of the Government with the House, it is necessary that we should consider cur position, and I therefore move that the house at its rising adjourn until Monday. - The cheering was renewed at this statement, and, when the other business on the paper had been disposed of, the House adjourned at five minutes past 3 o'clock uat 1 Monday. THE USE OF GAS TAR. Gas tar and ammoniacal liquor from gasworks not many years ago formed one of the most repul sive nuisances known to manufacturers. It was either thrown into the river, where it floated in ghastly blue patches, under the name of Blue Billy, or, as at Edinburgh, was conveyed stealthily away at night and emptied into the sea. These offensive products have within these last few years been distilled and transferred into a number of liquids and solids, all of which are more or less valu able. The gas tar, a material with soiling powers unequalled, and with an odour that is unapproach able, yields beuzol, an ethereal body of great sol vent powers, which forms the principal constituent of benzine, the most effectual remover of grease stains known, generally used to renovate kid gloves. Benzol produces nitric acid and nitro benzol, a body resembling in odour bitter almond scent, largely employed in perfuming soap. Could any two pro ducts appear more antagonistic to the substance from which they spring? From the same tar we have various mixtures of substances chemically simiffir to benzol. These are popularly known as " naphtha." One liquid of this kind is the gas substitute of the peripatetic costermonger and cheap Jack, besides being the source of illumination of many large factories and yards in which nightwork is done. Another of them; mixed with turpentine, is at once elevated to the dignity of the drawing room, where it appears in the table-lamp as cam phine. Naphtha is also frequently used in dissolving resins, iudiarubber, and gutta-percha. Lampblack is made by burning, with slight access of air, the least volatile components of gas tar. Moreover, if these be melted and mixed with pebbles, a valuable paving material is produced, with the appearance of which most of us are familiar. Red dyes, but unfortunately of only ephemeral beauty, can be made from that once dreaded enemy to the gas ma nufacture—naphthaline.--4carter/g Review.

Mr. Mill thus writes to the editor-of the Daily News : " Sir, I have just seen some statements in an article of the Qua;lcrly _Review for this month, headed ' The New School of Radicals,' concerning Mr. Goldwin Smith, which, • as I happen to know them to be untrue in every particular, in the letter and in the spirit, I take it upon myself to contradict. The remarks on Mr. Goldwin Smith's public character, speeches, and writings, like those upon the supposed inconsistency in my own, I make on observation upon, because everybody has the means of judging for himself whether they are true or not. The passage I wish to refer to is as follows : He has even announced his intention of turning his hack upon an un thankful country, although his friends console us in an amusing aside by assuring us that he does not mean it. lam going,' cries the principal actor ; but not if you elect him to parliament,' whisper his friends to the audi ewe. Th e mile play reminds one of the wandering trader in a rural fair, dt.l a,- , .!ire is only to be checl:e , i J y 0 , 1 4! ~X ll ::i; chains. This peculiar clanship of the Radicals is constantly of the utmost service to them. They take it in turns to help each other. If one man bids a loud adieu to his native land, the others stand by to tell us his price for remaining.' Now, in the first place, so far from turning his back upon an unthank rut country,' I understand Mr. Gold -win Smith to have intimated that he does not leave this country for good, but will probably return at some future time. Secondly, I heartily wish it were true that tl.e Reformers of this country by elect ing Mr. Goldwin Smith to a seat in the Reformed Hens° of Commons, could induce him to relinquish his intention of establishing himself, for a time at least, in another country ; and his determined rejection of their proposals is deeply to be regretted by all who can appre ciate his talents and principles. But it is within my knowledge that this proposal has been made to him from more than one important constituency, and I have been myself the medium through which the Liberals of a metropolitan constituency Lave vainly endeavoured to induce Mr. Goldwin Smith to consent to be put up for it. The ingenuity with which these facts-have been distorted from a compliment into an accusation would be very offensive if it were not very ludicrous. But as the characteristic boldness with which the . distorted state ments are put forward might induce some persons to believe them, I will beg you to give publicity to the real facts." In the Court of Queen's Bench, William Webb, a solicitor, has been suspended for a year on account of fail ing to pay over to a debt collecting society the sum of £2 received from a client for that purpose. The defence was that the attorney was in straitened circumstances, and that be had since been sued for the money. According to the Western. Morning News, the unopposed return of the Solicitor-General at Helston a few weeks ago cost the hon. and learned gentleman £145 Os. 4d. Mr. Henry Rogers, who had announced himself as a Liberal candidate and withdrew at the nomination, spent £4l 16s. 4d. Mr. John Lea, who came forward in the independent " interest and also retired, expended 225 19s. 2d. Mr. Beer, a solicitor of Devonport, writes to the, Western Morning News, quoting a case which occurred in that neighbourhood nearly three years ago, in which a, sergeant of the 38th Regiment was shot in the back by private, the nature of the wound bearii: a striking simi larity to that inflicted upon the Duke 0 .

His lordship had been to visit a colony in New Zealand, named the Can terbury settlement, to which place a great number of the settlers had migrated from the neighbourhood of Hayley, and had been in some measure connected with his family by tics of property. THE CONVICTION OF MICHAEL BARRETT. -StEpS are about to be taken to test the validity of the alibis proved on the part of this prisoner at the recent trial. A professional gentleman is about to proceed to Glasgow to obtain affidavits from the several persons who knew Bar rett in that city, and who were well acquainted with his personal appearance, especially in respect to the length of his whiskers in the month of November, before, as was alleged by him, one of them was singed at the torchlight procession. It will be recollected that the witnesses for the Crown declared that his whiskers were extremely long, and what are known as " Dundreary." The evidence also of the keepers of common lodging-houses, where he alleges he shpt in the month of December,- will-also, ii possible, be obtained. ESCA PE OF A PRISONER. —On Wednesday a young fellow who had been apprehended at Reading for felony was removed l y rail from that town to Wekingbam for "xantilmii•!ll before the bench of magistrates acting for that divisi,•n of the county, in which the offence had been committed. The case ' as heard, and the magistrates sentenced the accused to three months' imprisonment in the County House of Correction at Reading. Shortly afterwards he was handcuffed, and taken back to the rail way station in charge of a police-officer, and the two took their seats together for Reading. While the train was proceeding at a good speed between Early Station and Reading terminus!, the prisoner, with great daring, con trived to leap through the carriage window. It does not appear he was hurt, as immediately afterwards he was observed snaking off, and managed to effect his escape. A diligent search fOr him was instituted, but without success. Fivis COAST-GUARDMEN DROWNED.—The Dun dalk correspondent of the Dublin Express reports that a clay or two ego the coastguard boat of Dunany, near Cloghcr Head, left her station with a cargo of firearms, to be deposited at Soldier's Point station, which she reached in safety.

THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. - The preparations for the ceremony of laying the founda tion stone by her Majesty of wiret will be, in all probabi lity, the finest hospital in Great Britain, if not in the world, include arrangements for the reception of every member of the Royal Family, who are all expected to be present, except the Duchess Dowager of Cambridge. The Ministry, the Houses of Lords and Commons, the foreign), ambassadors, and all the great public bodies, will be repre sented. The estimated cost of the whole building will be about £500,000, including the site. The style of architec ture is Palladian, and the building will consist of eight blocks, each 125 feet apart. There will be about COC beds for patients (exclusive of those for nurses, &c.), with an allowance of 1,800 cubic feet and 112 superficial feet for each. The architect, Mr. Currey, has followed, with great care and liberality, the indications of the medical staff, as to necessary medical and surgical arrangements in the interior of the towital, to which he has not hesi tated, when necessary, to sacrifice considerations of exter nal adornment. The hospital presents many features of great structural interest. The stone will be laid by her Majesty on Wednesday, May 13, at half-past eleven in the forenoon, and the occasion will be one of historical interest.—British Medical Journal. THE EXPENSES OF SPECIAL CONSTABLES. —A special meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middle sex has been held " for the purpose of ordering such reasonable allowances to be paid to the special constables, duly appointed and called out 'to serve, and who have so served, for their trouble, loss of time, and expenses, as to the justices then and there assembled, or the major part of them, shall seem proper; and for the payment of such expenses as may have been incurred in providing staves and other' necessary articles for special constables"—Mr. Henry Pownall in the chair. ar t4 e body of magis- On takingthe chair, Mr. Pownall the h e Mi dastardly ddlesex trates were present. feelingly alluded to the death of the Marquis of Salis lblnudriyh, he a late ho leoprodk-n lieutenantterryiterms of indignation ncaottiionnty ofo a s ttatct,endwltiismiandtee intention o t n li et to life i fteaokfe tepouke of tl► rini c o ) i f i , an rto t i l l those two event; at the next county day.
