ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal consent was given by commission to a num ber of public and private bills. The members of the Royal commission were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Cado gan, and the Earl of Devon. The business of the house was postponed until 5 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time :—Norwich Union Life Insurance, Cork Gas, Cork Improvement, Hrf Bill, Midland Railway, Merthyr Stipendiary Borough i Magistrates Bill, Th e Chairman of Committees moved that the time for depositing petitions to be heard against private bills, which would otherwise expire during the adjournment of the house, be extended to Monday ne - xt. RELIGIOUS TESTS. The Earl of KEeIBERLEY presented petitions from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge against the impo sition of religious tests in those Universities. A groat many of the colleges had subscribed to this petition. There were only six colleges where there was a majority against it. In some it was almost unanimous, in others there was a majority of two-thirds. It was considered a great hardship that in the Universities no England. personunless co u he could bcomse a one member o f the government of the col legese wa He could understand s uch a re g ul ation if members of other denominations were ex cluded al together, but it appeared become of the Church of very arbitrary when they formed a portion of the consti tuent body. He had brought forward last session a bill, which he was sorry to say was rejected, in which he suggested that the restriction as to the tests in the universities should be abolished, and, considering the gieat number of the middle classes who would be ex cluded if it were not so, and who wore not members of the Church of England, it would bo considered highly desir able. The religious instruction was really so little that while he was a member of the great College of Christ church, all they had to de was to get up a short lesson in the Greek Testament, and learn by heart the 39 Articles, and then they were left to themselves. Lord HOUGHTON said he hopod that the business of the Session would not prevent a bill which was already before the other house being brought before them before long. The Earl of CARNAIWON said that since he sat in their lordships' house three distinct phases had been in troduced as to this question of University tests. He con - sidered that it was an attempt to lower the Government standard of tho universities, but never to effect that to the utmost extent. It was an. attempt to hand young men over at the age of 17, 18, and 19 to a system where no religious securities would surround them. It was much the same if yen removed the educational Muria's, and to that rfe r y one would object 6a 031.abour dity. By such a removal he did not think that anything beneficial would accrue. It would not be the right use Of the moral power entrusted to the University. The religious teaching might be very small, and some persons ear ned it farther and said that it .was only a sceptical teaching. Ire denied in the first . ktistance the fact, but even if it were so it was no argument why the whole machinery should b 3 destroyed bee tdse of this scepticism. When the sea went down the great landmarks would reappear, and so it would ix, when scepticism passed away. 'I he ques tion bad reached this pass, it was Ivit ther you in tended to remove all religions t3sts whatever; but for this lie contended that the Um) had not yet arrived. The Duke of DEVONSUIRE sad ho would make a few remarks Lpon what was the state of the feeling of the University of °Ambridge oa the subj Jct. 11, con sidered that there was a gradual' g,-owing feeling that these tests should b 3 alielished. The petition was signed by almost all the distiug ishKl body of the members of the University. Afw a few svor.ls from .Lord CAMPERDOWN and the Bishop of Loxims, the discusAon terminatol STATE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord MALMESBURY having moved the adjournment of the house till the Bth of June, Lord RUSSELL rose to call attention to the state of public affairs, and, after reciting the events which fol lowed upon the vote of the House of Commons respecting the Irish Church, declared it was extraordinary and un precedented that a Minister, bin; in a minority in the House of Commonsohouldretuain inpower for-six.mouths after advising the Crown to dis3olve Parliament. He admitted that the course pursued was convenient to the Government and to the mornbers of the House of Com mons, but he imputed to the Government a desire to protract the Reform discussions, which had needlessly prolonged the present session. He sought from the Government an assurance that measures would be taken to expedite the Registration, and urged more rapid progress witlythe Irish and Scotch Reform Bills and with the Boundary Bill. It was also desirable, he urged, that the Government should,. on its appeal to the country, de clare what were the principles upon which it relied for public approval, specially referring to the questions of odue4tion and.the state of Ireland, upon which no definite policy has as yet been propounded. Quoting the Hyde Park riots and the Manchester rescue as evidences of the Government to preserve peace and maintain order, Lord Russell reverted to the adverse majority of the House of Commons, and asked whether the Government admitted as a constitutional principle that it was wrong to hold officecomn ,on:i wit s. hout possessing the confidence of the House of Lord MALMESBURY admitted the constitutional prin ciple, but denied that it was proved the present Govern ment did not possess the confidence of the House of. Com mons merely because it was not supported upon ono ques tion by a majOrity: The test of a motion of want of con fidence had not been applied, and therefore it was reason able to assume that for the conduct of the general business of the country the Government did possess the confidence of Parliament. He attributed the backward condition of Parliamentary business to the unnecessary introduction of the question fold the Irish Church, to the destruction of which he declared himself a determined opponent, and concluded by stating that the Government were as anxious for a dissolution as any of their opponents could be. The house then adjourned until Monday, June 8. DUNVILLE'S V.R. OLD IRISH WHISKY, BELFAST, Is regularly supplied to the House of Lords. " V.R.' IRISH WHISKY. rf,IUNVILLE and CO.'S " V.R."

In reply to Mr. SCHREIBER, Mr. DISRAELI said he could not at that moment say on what day the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill would be proceeded with, but he would state the day on the house meeting after the holidays. CAPTURE OF A BRITISH SUBJECT. Mr. WYLD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any information had been received from her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople an nouncing the release of Mr. J. W. Stevens; a British sub ject, who had been captured by brigands near Smyrna ; and if the restoration of Mr. Stevens cannot be obtained without the payment of the money demanded by his cap tors, application wimld be made to the Otteman Govern ment to pay the required ransom ? Lord STANLEY regretted he could get no information on the subject, but a mail was due from Constantinople that - day, by which he hyped to get sows-intelligence. THE STEAMSHIP GARONNE. Admiral ERSKINE• asked tho , Vice-President of tho Board of Trade if the board would institute as inquiry into the loss of the steamer Garonne on the Land's End, which was said to have been caused by a want of seamanship, and to have been attended by a great loss of life ? Mr. CAVE said an inquiry into the whelo of the cir• cumstances had. been directed by the Giveram3at. TILE RIOTS AT. ASTITON. Mr. WHALLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to institute - any inquiry as to the origin and nature of the recent riots at Ashton and other places, in the county of Lancaster, and at Birmingham and other places, in the counties of Warwick and Stafford ; and whether the Go vernmeet had made any and what provision for the b3ttor protection of public lecturers and those who may attend such lectures in the event of threats to suppress such lec tures by riot and outrage, and then prevent the recurrence of such riots as before referred to ? Mr. HARDY said he had practically answered the ques tion the other evening, but ho had now to repeat that it was not the intention of the Government to institute any inquiry whilst the trials were proceeding. With respect to the latter part of the question, that rested entirely with the local authorities. OBSTRUCTIONS IN VIE STREETS. Mr. OTWAY asked the First Commissioner of Works the cause of so many of the principal streets in the metro polis being blocked up by work going on in the roads. It was exceedingly inconvenient when London was fullest that the roads should ba obstructed ; but it seemed to be the general practice whenever the ordinary traffic was increased that was the exact time chosen for repairs. Lord JOHN MANNERS said the Government was not responsible for the control of the public streets. The funds for their maintenance wore not taken from the Con solidatel Fund, but were contributed by the ratepayers, and the representatives of those parties were those who had the management of the streets. It was no fault of the Government that the roads were so bad in so many places at that particular period. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE said the committee on this bill stood for Friday next, and as it would be for the con venience of hon. members, he begged to ask what course the Government proposed to take with respect to this bill? Mr. DISRAELI said he thought the bill a vary bad one, and that it was useless to attempt to improve it. Ile should therefore offer no formal opposition to the com mittee. THE BOUND &RY BILL. Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report of the select committee on this bill, and said it would be in the hands of members on Monday next. THE NEW LAW COURTS. - • On the motion that the SPEAKER do leave the chair, Mr. B. COCHRANE called the attention of the house to the site of the law courts. He thought it was the duty of the house to consider this matter before it was too late. They had already laid out a very large amount of money, but after all it was the opinion of all competent persons that the plan proposed could not b 3 carried out on the site proposed. It was most lamentable that a great sum of money was to be expended in erecting the new law courts on the site near Temple Bar, which he contended was altogether a mistake, when such a fine position as the Thames Embankment could now be had. Ile hoped the Government and the house would pause and reconsider the whole matter before the building was commenced. It was not because they had acquired a questionable site that, therefore, they were compelled to raise the proposed new courts on it. Mr. M. CHAMBERS was of opinion that the present site was most objectionable, as it was surrounded by the dirtiest and most dilapidated buildings in the metropolis. He con demned the whole scheme, because it would cost an enormous sum of money, much more that. the most ex travagant now expected, and the result would be total and miserable failure on account of the unmanage able nature of the site selected. He thought in this country too much was sacrificed in ex terior grandeur, and not solidity and sedateness in architecture in the country. Nothing seemed to go down now but the cathedral style of architecture, and why it should be so he could not understood, because he found as a rule that all buildings con=tracted of late in that style were, in fact, most inconvenient, and, to a great extent, not at all adapted to the purpose in tended. He thought it would be the wisest course t 3 ad ept to call in the a Ivice of a com petent person to ascertain what was the value of the site at present acquired, with a view to either re-setting or letting it off on building leases, and to set about selecting a position on the Thames Embankment for the new Palace of Justice. He did not go along with those who said as we have got a site we must build upon it. He thought that instead of a loss being sustained by the giving up of the proposed site that a gain would accrue to it, as in the disposal of the ground things were man aged in a businesslike manner. At all events, he thought the proposed site about one 9f ale worst that could have I been selected. Mr. COWPER differed from the hon. and learned gen tleman. He thought the proposed site was the mos', convenient that could lei ad opted, and ininh to be pre ferred to that of the T'aa-a).3 E nhank mat. It seemed altogether to have es3aped the attention of the hon. gentle man that the hennas that wool•l have to be purchased if the site was removed to the Tnant is E abank cent would cost twice as much as those of 0 trey-street and the sur rounding neighheurlreed.

The present site nil to the present time had Cl it .£739,010, bet the c ,st of the whole site would be £336,0)0.- wets the known cost of the one position ; whit thl other would be on the Thames Embankment, no one could tell. Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked Mr..Disnieli what stops be meant to take for expediting the dissolution of Parliament on the now constituency early in the autumn, an I ho pointed out various abbreviations, of the processes of re gistration-44440 the-new P.crlianvaLt can bs Urhught. together by the 12th of November:' • Mr. ITISHERT held that without disturbing the present arrangements a geuer:al•election could' be got over by the middle of Docemb3r, so that c•sudidatesj might eat their Christmas dinners in peace, and Lho new Parliament might be called together in January. Lord ELCIIO maintained that the question affected others besides the occupants of the two front benches, and protested against the ho!idays of private members being taken up in electioneering unless a great public necessity could be shown. There was no adequate justification for straining the ordinary machinery of registration merely to take a. general election a month earlier, for though the Government was in a minority on the Irish Church, on tho subject of Reform, both this year and last year, it had commanded decided majorities. On the contrary, the public interest required that the election should not be precipitate. Mr. CLAY urged that the house ought to press for a dissolution at the earliest momant, in order to justify its - - - Long toleration of a Ministry in au unconstitutional posi tion. Mr. M. GIBSON maintained that all contested business should be dropped, instancing the Electric Telegraphs, Foreign Cattle Importation, and the Corrupt Practices Bills; but Sir R. ICNIGHTLEY insisted that this Parliament was pledged to go on with the Corrupt Practices Bill. After some observations from Mr. OTWAY, who was for an early dissolution, and from Mr. WHALLEY, who thought that the country should have ample time to apprehend the great question at issue, Mr. DISRAELI, replying first to Mr. MILNER GIBSON, reminded him that he had already stated that the labours of the session should be confined to necessary business, meaning thereby the Supplementary R3form Bills. The Election Petitions and Corrupt Practices Bill he should give up with a pang. and if there were time he should do sire to go on with it. The other bills mentioned were in the hands of the house, though there were particular rea sons why they had not been formally withdrawn. To Mr. Forster's question he was not in a position to give a more precise answer than that which he had given two days ago, and it was a subject on which it was useless to speak ex cept with the greatest precision. The subject had been for some time under the consideration of the Government, and though there had been several disturbing elements — such as the delay in passing the Boundaries Bill, and in the necessity of settling the Scotch and Irish boundaries— it was hoped they would be overcome. But in preparing any proposition for the consideration of the house it was most important that no suspicion should be suggested to the minds of the new electors that an attempt was being made to neutralise their privileges by hurrying and hustling on a general election. The result of this pre cipitancy would be the return of a Parliament in the election of which the groat body of the people would think it had had no share. Mr. GI, 43 TONE, referring . with much severity to LorlEtello'a speech, rejoin , ml,that n this was not a question to h) settled tby its effect on " private members' holydays," and that the "situation," as deseribNi by the Premier him- self, called for the cattiest possible dissolution. There were difficulties arising from the extreme inexpediency, end or the circumstances, of employing the machinery of the old constituencies; but though nearly a month ago Mr. Disraeli had confidently stated that they could be sur mounted, his tone was now changed. He had nothing , but a vague hopo to hold out, and could not even promise when he would satisfy the house. Mr. Gladstone, there fore, impressed on him the grave neeeesity of bringing the matt3r to an issue, and added that if the Government were not ready after the recess to declare their intentions , it would be the duty of independent members to take it up. Mr. PAULL animadverted on what he held to be the angry and dictatorial style of Mr. Gladstone's speech, and generally on the violent and unrestrained tone of recent debates, instancing particul trly Mr Bouverie's gross attack on the Government a week ago, and the "lie dirdct given by Mr. Bright to Mr. Liddell on Thursday. Those who had contributed most to the delays of the session had the least right to call for the withdrawal of important measures, and of all the Bills before the House Mr. Glad stone's Suspensory Bill was the least necessary. Though personally in favour of a dissolution as soon as the busi ness of the Session could be got through, time ought to be given to the country to understand what they had to de cide upon. After some remarks from Mr. CociA.N, Mr. HARDY pointed out that until the Boundary Bill had been pushed forward it would be impossible to decide what precise measure would b nece ssary. He denied emphatically that the Government had changed its tone. Those who were skilled in the subject had their attention fixed upon it, and, if an opportunity were given, the Go vernment would do what they could to hasten a dis- solution. Mr. CARD WELL expressed himself quite satisfied with this assurance, and here the subject ended. Before going into Supply, • • Mr. GREENE put a question to the Government as to their intention of granting a Royal Commission on coal mine accidents; on which Mr. Ayrton took the opportu nity of vindicating the efforts of Parliament to prevent these accidents; and Lord Elcho remarked that what the miners desired was, not further inquiry, but immediate practical action. Mr. Newdegate and Mr. Whalley also made soma observations, and Mr. HARDY replied that the Government, but for the disorganisation of the session, would have attempted to deal with the question. Mr. D. GRIFFITH, in moving to rescind the rule of debate which forbids allusion to debates of the other house, referred to recent infractions of it in language which Mr. Gladstone applied to himself, and which drew from him an explanation on the subject. Mr. Disraeli defended the rule, and the motion was withdrawn. Mr. WHALLEY made a long speech on the recent riots at Ashton and other places in Lancashire, blaming the Government and' the local authorities for not affording protection to Protestant lecturers, and urging the neces sity of an inquiry into the origin of these riots. Mr. HARDY rebuked Mr. Whalley for raising these irritating discussions, and intimated that the Government would make no inquiry except that which would result from the impending trials. Mr. BA.ZLEY exhorted Mr. Whalley to use his influ ence to withdraw Mr. Murphy from the Northern towns, where he was creating a fooling dangerous to life and property. SirC.O'LOGIILEN in moving for a copy of the Declara tion against Transubstantiation, entered into a long, and, as the Speaker pronounced it, a disorderly explanation of his motives in placing on the paper the notice of motion which had attracted so much attention, to relieve the Sovereign of the necessity for taking that declaration. He denied that Mr. Gladstone was cognizant of his notice, that it made any alteration in the Coronation Oath, or that it affected any of the securities for the Protestantism of the Crown. Mr. NE W.DEGA.TE expressed his unaltered conviction that this was an attempt to tamper with a portion of the Act of Settlement. The motion was not pressed, and after Lord Mayo had fixed the committee on the Irish Reform Bill for Monday' fortnight the house went into Committee of Supply, and the votes in Class 111. of the Civil Service Estimates (Judicial Expenses) wore completed. Some other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed at a quarter to 1 o'clock. The screw steam gun-vessel Assurance, 4, Com mander Jobn B. Scott, from tho West Coast of .

The Victoria Tower of the House* of Parliament was struck' by lightning in the afternoon.' The House of Lords was : sitting at the time for the purpose of hearing appeals. The shock was sensibly felt, and their lordships suspended their sittings for a short time in consequence. It was ascertained that no material damage had been sustained, and the sitting was'resumed. Several sheep were killed by tha lightning at Streatham, and a horse at . Wandsworth: Two men were knocked down by the 'electric fluid at Hammersmith and severely injured. The premises of Mr. Davy, of No. 1, Church-street, Hackney, linen -draper, end a wooden house in East-street, 3 3 romley, were ,truck by lightning, but although much damage, was done, no one was injured.

Ere was stunned and temporarily blinded, and it was 0, considerable time before he recovered his eyesight. The worst calamity, however, which we have to record took place in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. Ak Saltley, Mr. Lilly, who keeps a fog-signal manufactoty, was in a shed looking on at the storm, when he saw the shed, in which there were about 300 gross of 'fop signals, illuminated with lightning which played ulong the edge of the roof and lighted up the interior. 'There was an immediate explosion. The fog-signals went off, one package after another. Fire burst from the roof of the wooden shed and burned with fury. • Six girls were inside, four of whom were rescued, but were so fearfully burned that two of them are not expected to recover. Two of the six remained inside. The fire was not extinguished until the lapSe of about two hours and a half. Then the bodies of the two children were recovered. They pre sented a most sickening spectacle. Their skulls were shattered, the arms and legs were separated from the body, and the flesh was burnt off their faces to the bones. Her Majesty intends to give a concert at 13nejr. ingham Palace on the 10th of the ensuing month, and will give, towards the latter end of June and early in July, two breakfast parties at the same Palace.

LORD BROUGHAM'S FUNERAL. —An Edinburg} gentleman, travelling in the South of France, in a letter dated Cannes, May 24, writes :—" This afternoon, at five o'clock, the remains of Henry Lord Brougham were conveyed in a plain deal coffin, covered with black cloth, and nailed down with plain black nails, without any orna.' anent or superscription, carried in a musty old hearse dragged by two sorry horses, to the public cemetery at Cannes, and pushed into a vault so clumsily that part of the black cloth was torn off the coffin. A clergyman read the customary prayers at the mouth of the vault, and then laid on the coffin two of those" common wreaths of immortelles ; then a Frenchman stepped forward and read an empty eulogirtm, the gist of which was that Lord Brougham had been the means of bringing the English to Cannes. A motley collection of odd-looking vehicles fol lowed the hearse, containing Lord Brougham's relatives and friends. There were also some Frenchmen, and the remnant of the English whose avocations do not allow them to leave the place with the fashionable world. When we arrived at the cemetery, we found a crowd of peasantry—men, women, and children. I followed the hearse the whole way ; it was a hot and a long walk." —Scotsman•. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

'There was indicated the hemorrhage. As no exte rnal appearances the course of the ball, it became a source of; Lauxicty to discover the direction it had taken; and; it was found necessary to probe the wound. When the; probe L a d entered about t wo inches it would not p ass, further, probably becoming entangled in torn muscular tissue. His Royal Highness suffered extremely from. shock ; the pulse was almost imperceptible, a cold per. spiration bedewed lie face, ht frequently requested "more, air," and made several attempts to vomit. Ice and iced. champagne were administered ; and, to admit the air more freely, the sides of the Mt were cut and rolled up,, the temperature being about SO deg. Fahrenheit.
