A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the.CityTerminus Hotel, Cannon street, to consider two bills now before Parliament —Mr. E. NV. Watkin, M.P., in the chair. Mr. CHUBB, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said there were about 6,000 pro prietors in the company, and not more than 60 of them were present in tha,t large room, notwithstand ing that the secretary had sent a circular to every one in the company. That was done with the view of obtaining a large attendance of pro prietors. The business they bad to transact was so serious that he would reserve the statement he intended to make for the adjourned meeting, which he proposed should be held there on the 28th inst. The absent shareholders would read an account of the proceedings at this meeting, and he hoped they would attend the meeting of proprietors on the 28th inst. He trusted that the most inte resting part of their history would shortly be re duced to union and peace. For years they had been involved in disputes and Parliamentary con tests, which had reduced an excellent dividend of 6 per cent. per annum to one of about 3 per cent. They were now going to do what they should have done years ago—co-operate with others to serve the public better and to improve the dividends of the shareholders. His first connection with the company was against his own wish, but at the strenuous request of friends. He had to go abroad for a few months soon after, and during his absence the board haddeposited a bill for the line toßrighton, the abandonment of the power to make which he would that day ask their sanction. The bill was ob tained to check the aggressive policy of the Brighton Company. He had instituted a negotiation with Mr. Schuster, the chairman of the Brighton Company, to bring about an arrangement for fusing the two concerns. He was sorry to say that that endeavour had been thrown over by the influence of certain parties iu the Brighton Company, by means of something like a conspiracy. He would go further into that matter at the next meeting. The princi pal Bill they had before Parliament was for estab lishing a working union of the South-Eastern and- London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com panies,—for affirming an agreement of the compa nies in that behalf, and for authorising the admis sion of the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover Company into the union. The South-Eastern Company's ca -1 ital account was now practically closed, and their new line, which bad been so long delayed, was now in full operation ; their tidal and express trains passing over it rapidly was a great advantage to the public and comfort to the passengers. The com pany had just completed an expenditure of £5,000,000 to accommodate the public and to de velope the traffic. lie trusted that by patient and quiet management they would not only be able to restore the old rate of dividend, but to accomplish a higher rate. A copy of the Union Bill had been sent to every shareholder, and it would depend on Parliament as to its being passed. The Bill had been most carefully gone through by Mr. G. Leeman (who was not only a very experi enced lawyer, hut well acquainted with railway mat ters), Mr. Eborall, their general manager, and himself. At present the bill extended to 95 clauses. Although it bad been so carefully prepared he would not advise them to accept the bill if toll clauses were so much interfered with in the Lords. He wished to give the shareholders full power of voting out directors, and of giving the joint com mittee power to vote out members if deemed expe dient for the interests of the undertaking, but some alteration had been made in that clause. There was power to make agreements with the London and North-Western and Great Northern Railway Com panies for using the lines, provided they would grant similar facilities to the united company. He then went minutely through every important clause in the bill, which had been 28 days before the Commons Committee, during which 14 petitions had been presented against it. The bill of costs would be made out and submitted before the share holders would be asked for their final vote. Each member of the joint committee would be required to hold £2,000 ordinary stock and £3,000 other stocks in the company represented by him, making £5,000. The South-Eastern Company would have five members, the Brighton five members, and the Chatham three members, making together 13 as the number of the joint committee, and they intend that each company should pay the cost of obtaining the Union Bill in that proportion. There was power to revise the proportions of traffic on each of the old lines at any time, instead of waiting till the end of five years, as originally pro posed. The debenture interest would be paid into the bank every week, and would be audited con tinually by Mr. Waterhouse, and kept as a separate department.' There would be no capital expendi ture without the mutual assent of both Boards. A provident savings-bank would be instituted for the companies' men, and 4 per cent. interest allowed on deposits. He then described bow well this system had worked in another company for the advantage of all parties. It was proposed to change the name of the company to the " Southern and Continental,” but Mr. Bibby, one of the directors, had suggested that the united company should be called the Great SJuthern. The dates of making up the accounts would be the 30th of Juue and 31st of December in each year, instead of, as at present, in the South- Eastern, to 31st of January and 31st of July in each year. 'They proposed that the joint working with the Chatham Company should commence on the Ist of July, 1869. 'They had settled the matter in dispute with the South-Western Company by agreeing to build a station in the Waterloo -road to accommodate passengers from that railway on the Charing -cross and City line. They intended to extinguish the debenture debt of the company (£4,000,000) by means of a debenture stock, to be called up in four or five years, or as the debentures fell due, and he hoped the ordinary stockholders would tike it all up. He concluded by formally moving tae approval of the bill. The lion. J. BYNG seconded the motion. Ur. situu hoped they had turned the corner THE SUN; LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN ]\ G, MAY 15, 1868. with regard to their affairs, the rolling stock and permanent way were in the best possible order, and the iine was. well manage:l and worked by Mr. Eborall and other officers of the company. He therefore did not want to part with anything for the union of the other companies. He believed the Chatham Company were bound to pay £3,000 a year to one official for seven years,• which, together with commissions, amounted to £7,000 or £B,OOO a year, and that this company were to contribute a portion of that extravagant sum. Mr. MournEr regretted there should be any fur ther postponement with regard to the bill, as the object of it had been already fully considered. He thought the " Uaited Southern Railway" would be a better name for the united company. Mr. RAwsoN approved the cl tuses of the bill, and he had no doubt that the united working would be beneficial to all coucern2d, but he would decidedly object to any adverse revision oUthe tolls. No other company was in so favourable a position os to finan cial matters, and he thought that the value of the pro, erty must increase. _ . he CHAU:MAN, iu reply to questions, stated that with a view to pievent accidents it not intended that the South-Western train:: should run over the Charing-cross line. The station at Waterloo would cost £7,t►oJ, and would be paid for in two years out of revenue. It could be built in two mouths. The company had a valuable estate independent of traffic that would eventually add per cent. to the divi dend. The arches in Cannon-street had recently been let on long leases for £B,OOO a year. They would adopt Mr. Wrigley's plan of keeping capital and revenue under separate management. The joint undertaking would be saddled with £3,000 a year till 1874, in respect of the Chatham engage ment alluded to by Mr. Smith. It was intended to stipulate that Mr. Eborall's agreement should be ex tended from 1871 to 1874. It was then agreed that the meeting should ad journ to the 28th inst. 011 the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. MELLOn, " a bill for the abandonment of the railways authorised by the South-Eastern and Lou don, Chatham, and Dover (London, LeweS, and 13..ighton) Railway Act, 18G6," was unanimously approved, and the proceedings terminated.

BOW-STREET.-THIS DAY. This morning Mr. Eyre appeared before Mr. Vaughan to answer a summons which had been taken out against him for issuing an illegal and oppressive proclamation. There was also a second summons charging him with having unlawfully caused the arrest, imprison ment, and flogging of divers persons who resided within the island of Jamaica, under and by virtue of a certain illegal proclamation of martial law which had been heretofore issued by him. Sir J. C.)Hier sail he might rec tll to the bench the eireamstanee3 of the pr.:s , .;nt case. Sir Thomas Henry w,13, ill the first i:13G.1110,e, app lief to, bat hq declinel to grant a stuntn.)ns for the charge of murder, being of opinion that 113 hal 110 juriilic- tion, but since that application had been made to the Court of Q Bench, and the present proccelings were the result. The capital charge which, in the first instance, was !nide against Mr. Eyrkl it was not now proposed to pros:, although-it was finite open to h ore pre f.:m.l the is lictm : int against the defend tut in another Court. The object of the profsecation now was to prosecute Mr. Eyre for a mis !etueanour, and that offence was cimmitte 1, it was coatended, in the issuing of a certain proclamation, placing the island - wader martial law, without sufficient authority, which amounte 1, is f to a declaration of war against the inhabitants of Jamaica, both black:and white, and which was in itself an indictable offence. No fact, therefore, arose, and under such circumstances the question before the Court became one entirely of law. Sir J. Collier proceeded to quote certain Acts of Parliament to show the power Colonial Governors possessed under peculiar circumstances, and he then referre 1 to the proclamation Governor Eyre issued in the island of Jamaica on the late outbreak, the action that was taken after, and he said the great matter he had to confiue himself to was whether the issuing of such a proclamation was at that time within the power of Mr. Eyre. At the trial of Gen. Nelson and Lieut. Brand at the Old Bailey the Lord Chief-Justice, in an address to the jury, laid it clearly down that the Crown could not delegate to a colonial governor powers which it did not itself possess, and if the au deorities he had quoted bore out that, the proceedings of Mr. Eyre were clearly illegal. But it became his duty to show that if the power was not given under the English law, was there any authority for him to act as he had done under the colonial law ? The Jamaica statutes, he contended, gave no power to issue such a proclamation, and the next question that presented itself was, did the Governor issue such a proclamation corruptly, but he did not consider it at all fair to impute such a motive. lie did not deny that the use of violence necessary for the suppression of the outbreak was justified without reference to law. A man whose life was in danger was justified, if in self-defence he killed his assailant. It would be ridiculous to say that he ought to bring an action or pre fer a criminal charge, because he might not live to do so, bat if he survived an l bound his enemy he had no right to kill him, bat he mast give him up to the oridinary tribunals. The learned gentleman then proceeded to strengthen his case, by citing a number of authorities, and referred at some length to the late Jamaica prosecution. Passing by that he next came to a knowledge England that o very the ho y law, supposed and it was h e ld i n to know the law ; therefore colonial g overn ors were the last per sons who ought to say the y di d not, so he should not dwell upon tha t, beca use it would be ef law; idle to say that the proclamation was issued on imperfect knowledge. The pro clamation declaring martial law remained in force thirty days, and, without making Mr. Eyre criminally liable fur all the acts committed during that time, he thought various other matters were concerned, which clearly rendered Mr. Eyre liable. Tne precise act which he charged against Mr. Eyre was the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Sidney L tvine, who, Mr. Eyre himself hal stated, had never resided within the district subject to martial law ; and Dr. Bruce was anoth sr person arres'efi, who, the late Governor also admitted, lived out o f the district, an , l these two acts, he contended, were clearly illegal, and rendered Mr. Eyre amenable to the law for doing that which W,13 clearly in direct opposition to it. Mr. Phillips was another person apprehended out side the jurisdiction of martial-law, and as the two former gentlemen were not pre se nt, but the the attention of th e b ench to hi s ca se more par ticularly. He was suspected was, he should c all suspected of being an associate of J. W. Gordon, and accordingly captured, but after he had been d e t a i ne d i n c ustody for some time he was taken to Morant Bay, flogged by a marine, and then discharged without any charge ever having been brought £here were o ther persons ar rested, but he did no t propose to go into the facts of th e case , b u t he should call Mr. Phillips before the Bench, aga i ns t him, Bench, w ho would state, in pre cise terms, the indigniti es he had been compelled to suffer. Ile adopted the present course in order that the depositions might be returned to the Cou rt of Queen's Bench, th a t t h e op i n i on of the Judges m ight be taken on a matter w hi c h wa s of so muc h i m portance to M r . Eyre and the various o th e r persons. Mr. Dunning, the short-hand writer, was t hen called to prove his notes of evidence of Governor Eyre taken before the Commission in 1865. The evidence was then read at length from the Blue-book. Me case was still procooding.) SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.'—This Day. (By TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Friday Morning.

RELLJIOTTS, BUILDINGS (SITES') BILL. Lord CRAN WORT il the s,N;on I reading of this bill, which he stated would greatly facilitate Via convoy unce of any property which might ba appropriated ai religious site. Lord fIOMILL - 1 7. said he entirely agreed with his noble and l,arned friend in bringing on this miner, which was,. iu fact, the doing away with the Statute of Atortmain with rogird to sma:l charities. 110 though', however, that the statute of mortmain was particularly protective of small charities, and the whole expense in many cises would only amount to about XL This slight expense wo lid prevent the prop,rty given to charities ever b:ing diverted. Lord CHELIISFORD said he did not rise to oppose his noble and learned friend with regard to the bill, bet he agreed With his noble and learned friend who hal jest spoken that there should be no secret transfer of property, and that there should be an enrolment, and therefore' he should certainly support the clauses t) be introlucad by him. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he did not mean to oppose the bill in its second reading, but ha would assure his noble friend that the country was not generally so favourable to his bill as he thought. He had had an interview with a large deputation of the Dissenters, and they were opposed to it, although he should himself have thought that they would be glad of lessening the expense. They said the trust deeds were lost, ani they had found by the enrolment of the court a great sifeguard, as they could always get an office copy of the deed of settleineut. Ite.thought, therefore, that they should be careful and considerate before they took an absolute step in the matter. He thought that a more simple process might be adopted; the deed might be filed as an affi lavit ; and it could be obtained at a slight expense. The bill was read a second time. THE DUCILY OF CORNWALL (AMENDMENT) BILL. This bill was read a second time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. PUBLIC ROAD W AYS. Mr. GOLDNEY asked the member fur Bath whether the Board of Works was aware that iron gates were still continued at the end of Devonshire-place and Wimpole-street, being one of the principal thoroughfares between Oxford-street and the New-road, aril that such gates were refused to be opened to the public unless a gratuity was given to the gatekeeper; and if the board were aware of it, whether they proposed to take any steps with reference thereto; and to ask further, whether the road was prepared at the public expense or by any private in dividual. Mr. TITE said there were a large number of those gates in the metropolis, no less than thirty of them being in tho parish of St. Pancras. The Board of Works had no power in the matter. It was a very difficult circumstance to deal with, but he hoped Parliament would take the subject into consideration with a view to bringing forward a measure on the subject. He believed the repairs when necessary were done by the parish. PARK-LAN E. Viscount HAMILTON asked the First Commissioner of Works upon whom rested the responsibility of the pro sent impeded state of the thoroughfare in Park-lane ; why the works had continued so long unfinished ; and how many men a day were employed upon them, and when there was a probability of the works being completed. Col. HOGG said he thought ha could best answer that question. The Metropolitan Board of Works wore at pre sent' engaged in widening the thoroughfare in Park-lane. An arrangement had been made by which the roadway was to be 40 feet wide, the footway on the east side 10 feet, and the west side 8 feet. The contractor had exceeded the • time he had been allowed to carry out the work, but this perhaps had been caused by the determination to level the road in certain places whi ch was not at first contemPated. Twenty men were at present engaged on the works, and the reason no greater number was employed was because no more could be conveniently kept at work. At one time there had boon 100 workmen employed. The road to Mount-street, to Oxford-street, and the other new thoroughfar. s _would all ba open to the public in the course of a few days. 'TIE COMPOUND HOUSE ML-)Ea. Mr. 11. B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary to the Poor Law Board what steps the overnment propos:•d to take to remedy the alleged evils and hardship.; which had re sulted front the abolition of the convouud boas...lA.)l,ler ; whether it wai iuteaded to introluce &into general seheato of uuiferrnity of poor rate, or whether it was intended to await the report of the select conunittae on poor rates itS‘ essmon t, Lito. Sir M. BEECH saki he thought the question ought to have been addressed to a mote respansibl 3 Knistor of the Crown, considering the compound household tr had formed the subject of two of the mast important divisions in the Reform hill. (Hoar, hear.) There was nothing in the bill to be brought forward by the Po3r-law Ward that would effect the mAtter ; and with respect to the latter part of the question, he did not think that it would b 3 advisable to legislate without waiting for the report of the Com mission. THE COMMISSIONERS. Sir C. RUSSELL asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it was true that in a report of a committee (com posed of Mr. Goulburn, the Vice-Controller of Customs , Mr. Farrar, and Mr. Williams, of the Board of Trade), presented to the Treasury in June, 1865, a strong recom mendation was made of the expediency of employing com missionaires in the various civil departments of the United Kingdom, on the special grounds of "efficiency" and "economy;" and, if so, whether there would be any objec tion on the part of the Government to produce that part of the report relating to the corps of co:nmi ? Mr. S. BOOTIi said the committee in question made no such general recommendation; on the contrary, it recom mended that merely two commissionaires should be em ployed in the Registry of Seamen Office, but nothing further. FIRST CLERK OF CUSTOMS. Mr. STOCK asked the Secretary t..) the Treasury why the first clerk in the customs at Dublin should h ;vc a salary of only £lOO a year, his collector's salary bong £l,OOO, when the first clerk at Glasgow had a salary of £450, although his collector's salary was only 010 ? Mr S. BOOTH said the hon.:gentleman had been misin formed, as both officers received the same salary, viz. £350 a year, rising gradually to £4OO. TILE IRISH CHURCH BILL. Colonel KNOX begged to ask the right hon. gentleman the member fur South Lancashire after what hour he would move for leave to introduce his Suspensory Bill with respect to the temporalities of the Irish Church. Mr. GLADSTONE had no difficulty in answering the question. The motion for leave to introduce a till, he believed, iu conformity with the ordinary usages of Par liament, could have been made by him when the chairman reported the passing of the resolutions through com mittee, and leave was generally accorded. But he was desirous of not taking such a step until the answer of her Majesty to the address had been reed, and th +refore he did not avail himself of that opportunity. Uuder such circumstances ho had hoped that ho should not have been opp sod as be was yesterday when ho moved for per mission to introduce the bill. As ho could command no particular day for making his motion, he should avail himself of the first opportunity that pre sented i self ; therefore ho could not now say a t what hour the motion would be wade. Ile might say that he did not intend to allow the matter to drag on for any inordinate length of time. Colonel KNOX, amidst loud cries of " Order, order," said that the members on his side of the house intended t give the motion their most serious opposition BOUNDARY .BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Boundary Bill, Mr. GLA )STONE drew attention to the various pro visions of this bill, and the numberless difficulties that would have to be enc.matered, more especially wish respect to the primary question of boundary. He thought the par liamentary boundary ought to he the municipal boundary, and ho very much dispaired of getting through with the bill before the 10th of June, which it WAS - necessary to do in order to render it available for tlle present year. Mr. DISRAELI said he thought many of the difficul ties found out by the right hon. gentlemen were ground less, but ho dOubted not those difficulties if they were con sidered with patience and tempr could be sur mounted in a manner satisfactory to the house, and he hoped of the country. He did not consider the bill at all a party measure, as ha Antal c•insidor every member sitting on his side of th e h ouse perfectly free to express their opinions us far as justice required. He did not anticipate any of the difficulties as insurmountable, but, if it became necessary, they could resort to morning sittings, and if the necessity should arise that reference to a select committee Ehould be requisite or a remission of the bill to the commissioners for reconsidera tion, he thought still they would bo enabled to get through the bill in time to accomplish the purpose desired. (Bear, hear.) No spirit of party would be evinced on his side of the house, and the Government would do all in its power to secure the consideration of the bill in a perfectly open manner. Ur. LLIBDEBT pai4-p.itter the statement of thg right lion. g3ntlsman he should feel it his duty to persevere with the motion which stood in his name. Mr. BASS thought it would expedite business in the long run if the bill was referred to a small select com mittee Mr. BRIGHT said the whole of the difficulty arose in consequence of Parliament not giving the power to the Boundary Commissioners to contract ; all they were to do was to increase, or, in other words,to drag 400,000 voters from the county to the borough constituencies. (Hear, hear.) That was exaetly what it was doing, although not so set forth. He thought, if it was the desire of both parties, ir respective of party tactics, the difficulty in the Boundary Bill might be got rid of in two or three days at the most. Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, as one of the Boundary Commissioners, explainel that h 3 and his collaagues had acted strictly upon the instructions wiiich they had re ceived from the house. Perli;anFmt was quite at liberty to take other matters into consideration to which their at tention It id not been directed. Ile had consulted his brother couttnisioners, and they agreed with him that• the House of Gointnons was best calculated to arrive at a satis- ctory couclniion. One courso ouly they would object t 9, and that was that the matter siva,' b r,forrod back to them. It would ho m' Ire smisfactvry, thy thought, to refer it to air)ther tribunal, but they would limit the in- Inste:of of going into case ref tho whole 81 l , o,roughs the bourblarios of which it w:ts proposed to enlarge, the investigation shotild 1./J ro,tricted t cases ou which 1) 0,1- tioni Itad Lew) presented to the, nous() or notices given by inmihors. Sir F. CROSSLEY, anotht , r commissioner, expressed his concurrence in the views Stated by Mr. R. Gurney. Mr. DISRAELI, having heatd the deciarttioas of the two commissioners who had just spoken, and received an assurance that a considerable majority of their colleagues held the same -news, was ready to propose on the part of the Government that a committee of five should be ap pointed by the Committee of Selection, such committee to sit day by day, but to limit the investigation to the peti tions already received. Ile also proposed that they should have power to center with the Boundary Com mi sioners, and that the evidence should be purely docu mentary. After some discussion, in which Mr. OSBORNE passed some severe remarks upon both the commissioners and their report, Lord .I.IOTHAAI appealed to the house not to throw upon the Committee of Selection the '6'iorous and invi dious task of nominating the comthittee, which, in his opi nion, ought to ba appointed by the house itself. Mr. HARD Y conceived that the matter stood in this position—ih•it the majority of the house wore favourable to the appointment of a committee, to whom should be referred all cases as to which petitions had been presented up to this time, whether they concerned old or new boroughs, together with all mem mials which had been presented to the House of Oom:uons, and all cases re specting which there had al►eady been notices placed on the paper. Mr. BRIGHT suggested that the select committee should be formed of seven. Eventually the house went into committee of supply, on an understanding that a select committee should be ap • pointed to inquire into the boundary report, the Govern ment undertaking to submit the names of such commtttee on Monday next. On the vote of £1,600,000 being introduced for the New Courts of Justice, _ Alderman LAWRENCE called attention to the narrow and insufficient approaches to the New Palace of Justice about to ba erected in the Strand. Several votes of money were agreed to, amongst which was one of £3,000,000 for the expenses of the Abyssinian Expedition. Considerable discussion ensued upon vat ions vote; which were eventually agreed to, and progress was re ported. The house resumed its sitting at twelve o'clock, when the Customs and Income Tax Bill and the Exchequer Bonds (.£1,600,000) Bill were read a third tuna and passed. After some pro forma business had been gone through, Mr. Gladstone was called upon to introduce his Sus pensory Bill. Colonel KNOX objected to the bill being introduced at that late hour of the evening, and in justification of his opposition quoted a speech said to be delivered by Mr. Gladstone at a former period in the House of Commons, " in defence of the Irish Church against its recreant foe, Earl Russell," in which he stated that any measures of this kind, if passed in Parliament, would prove them a " recre ant senate and an apostate nation." He moved that the bill be read that day six months. Mr. NEWDEGATE, in seconding the motion, would ask Mr. Gladstone whether anything contained in his bill would be contrary to the Coronation Oath or Act of Uuion ; and he further asked, after the principles of this bill were introduced, when he would move fur the second reading ? Mr. GLADSTONE asked for references to a quotation which he believed never proceeded from his mouth or his p.n. In answer to Mr. Newdegate, he said the principles of his bill were explained iu the resolutions he recently introduced. It was merely to restrain any new appoint ments in the Irish Church uat►l time had been given to bring in a bill upon this sul'j•.ct which would deal with the Church temporalities. . . Mr. VANCE contended that the Irish Church as intro duc,d was a mere politkal evJnt, and that they would never have heard of it had Mr. Gladstone been on the Treasury bench, or even if Lord Derby had beau Prime Minist , r ; but, in his tniGd, it was au attempt to crush the pro -ent First Lord of the Treasury. Lord INGESTRE moved that the bill cf Mr. Gladstone be read by the clerk at the table, se that hon. members might know what it contained. This was overruled, when Mr. NEWDEGATE again asked when the second reading would be introduced if the first reading were agreed to. _ . Mr. GLADSTONE replied that the bill was very short, and he hoped to be able to distribute copies to members this day (Friday), and on the following Friday he pro posed to take the second reading. AfLer some slight opposition tha introduction of Mr. Gladstone's bill was agreed to, and it was .ordered to be read a first time. PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. GLADSTONE then obtained per.nission to make a personal explanation, and spoke as follows : —Aided by my friends, I have discovered a passage which bears a re nuakable resemblance to that which the hon. and gallant member (Colonel S. Knox) described as coming from me in 1835. " The passage is this "By all that we see and know of the history of the country, this is—and I glory in the thought—a Protestant Stat% What does that mean ? That while we respect the antiquity and the authority of the Church, we also assert the right of private judgment and vindicate the independ ence of the human mind. I trust that a Church whiclo re tains the principles of a Christian Church, which teaches the Scriptures and the unadulterated truths of the Church of England, will never be overthrown by a British louse of Commons. (Loud Ministerial cheers.) It can not be destroyed except by the voo of a reel-ea:it senate — (renewed cheers)—aud au apostate nation." (Rear, hear.) But upon running up to the head of that speech i find it was delivered on the 10th of April, 1886, and that the author of it was Mr. Whiteside. (Loud and continued cheering from the Opposition.) The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. RAIL IVA Y 131 LES.
