TA.VAL IN'rI6LLIGENCE. Yesterday morning the mortal remains of the late Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., were berme trically sealed down in the presence of Colonel Codring ton, Csptain'Codriegton, C. 8., and several other rela tives and naval officers, and the body was removed from his late residence, No. 110, Eaton-square, Pimlico, and finally deposited this morning, at nine o'clock, in the family vault of St. Peter's Cburoh, Pimlico. The Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Thomas Byam Martin, G.C.8.,-paid a visit to Portsmouth Dockyard on Tuesday last. Sir William Burnett, director general of the medical department of the navy, paid a visit of inspection to Haslar and Portsmeu! h ; he arrived at Hasler oa Tues day, and left for London ezlin yesterday. Vengean c e, Captain Lord Edward Russell, bent sails orr Wednesday, and yesterday, at half-past eleven o'clock;.sca s towed out to Spithead by the Echo steamer; she sainted the Admirai's flag when at the harbour's mouth, with 17 guns, which the Victory returned. Twenty-five smart first-class buys were sent by rail to London yesterday for the purpose of manning the modal frigate on the Serpentine. These boys are well up to their': work, havi ng been cruising in the Rolls apprentices'-tender at Portsmouth. TEE TURKISH SQUADRON AT PORTSMOTTH —The Turkish steam frigate, F‘-izi Bahri, Admiral Mustafa y a cba, anchored at Spithead last evening near the other Turkish vessels, bat we have not learned when they sail. It is not often that we hear of a Mahomeda u a bj ur i ng his religion and turning Christian, and there are many reasons for this. Turks aro seldom linguists, sieircely say speaking other language than their own, and Tut k ish language is seldom spoken by the people of other nations. The Turks, also, we understand, make the abjuration of their religion a criminal matter, and punish the apostate severely. During the time the Turkish squadron have been at Portsmouth, a number of their ruck have been in Haslar Hospital; among titese was the Turkish interpreter. (no Armenian Turk), who occasion ally attended at the hospital chapel, and also at some religi,us lectures; and when this Turks were all ordered On board their respective vessels when they left Ports mouth.. harbour this person declined going, he having „ 1 1,"2 . 1 _ , "1 the Mahomedan religion and turned Christian. number of u`s` - 'ing reported on board the Turkish frigate, a otfieers a nd men were sent on shorq to look for him, and bring him off; bat he contrived t 6 .evade them, and secrete himself, and we understand he is now in Govert ~, 8 2 .ida e :vell for security. Whether he will be t un hilat.i:"'l sayso be seen; we hope not, as we hear the n that he is afraid of his life if he should return to his country. The Turkish steam-frigate saluted the garrison yesterday morning with 21 guns, w hich was recurneduby the platform battery.

T !I RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET. The half yearly meeting of this company W‘3 held on Wednesday at the London Tavern; Mr. Fano in the chair. Mr. Brown, the secretary, read the report, an abstract of which speared in The Sun of Monday. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he believed it was the most gratifying one that had ever been presented to the proprietors. It was of a cheering character, and he felt it his duty to state that their present position was not brought about thro ug h any ugh any fortunate circumstance, but it was the r esult of long and constant attention to the interests of thec9o7cmaony: —(Applause.) At a meeting in March, 184 mittee of investigation was appointed, o f w hich ha was a member, and from that moment he turned d his attention to the a ff eirs of the oomnany, an d he a never d that oubte b e position. The tee company could be placed in . s h fi i r s st m la i v n e d u w ra a n s le thatthy circumstanceehad no g uaranteed stock. It w hich presented itself to in which some com anies lamentable state of insolvency p was guarantees which reduced railway property to that os H it e iv f o o u ad n v d ah t t h a e g t e t . the T ab h s e e i n r c l e ih o e f p ster fhrd, a where il is ge there o f wer guaranteeeat o r e s s t e e n e t h p w l a a s c e a d w t h a e s n a i npooppeuriaatti population extendedofromt ckb Ne wmarket, e T e wor s on the line from 800 inhabitants. Newmarket to Cambridge, where there was a population of 30,000, remained in abeyance. He fel , . convinced that it they could complete and open this line they would have a dividend. He felt that it was no good to despair, tend that by a mad' attention to the circumstances in which they were placed they could, bit by bit, raise the c ompany from its lamentable position. He then stated the kind and liberal manner in which the various cre ditors of the company behaved towards them. The Duke of Rutland, through the interposition of Lord G. Manners, reduced his claim to the extent of 1,5001. Mr. Wright, the carriage builder, settled in the most liberal manner his claim of between 5,0001. and 6,0001. for 2,6001. The engine builder had a claim of between 16,0001. and 17,000/. against the company, and he had been so dissatisfied with the conduct of the former board that he had three actions pending against the com pany. The present directors, in the course of their ne gotiations with the creditors, sent for him and gave up certain engines as if they had not been delivered, and settled the claim for 1,000/. in cash, and 4,000/. in de bentures. The solicitor settled his claim of 5,7001. for debentures to the amount of 4,5001., bearing interest of 31 per cent. There was a Caancery suit against the company which he (the Chairman) took in hand, and in a very short time induced the plaintiff to give it up, he (the plaintiff) paying his own costs, and also 5001. for a piece of land of no value to the company, but which he prized very much. Those nego tiations saved the company upwards of 10,000/. Not withstanding these advantage - , there were still great difficulties to be surmounted. One difficulty was the conditions with the contractor far making the line to Cambridge, and another was the working of the line to advantage. The late board closed the line, and ho found hat while the lino was closed there was a debt accumu lating against the company at the rate of 5,3811. a year. pus bimselt in communication with the dissentient r - ihareholders, and by their united exertions the present hoard was formed, soon after which the hue was again epeued, and the tff et was very satisfactory. Previous to opening the line they found that the former receipts were le,ts than 7,0001. a year, and the expenses excessive. Upon going into the matter, he estimated that the re ceipts ought not to be less than 9,328/ per annum; and he believed that the actual receipts on the line were n o w more favourable than he had estuneted—they were dur- ing the but four months at the rate of 9:5701. per an num. Then as to their expenses, they were not less than 7.0001. a year up to the time of closing the line. At present the.- xpenses were at the rate of 5,7001. a year, including the maintenance of the permanent way, and ot mree that would leave them a good margin to meet de heuture interest. With regard to the funds of the com• teeny, they found, on accepting offiee, that there were 3,000 shares in arrear of calls for nearly two years, and n proceeding to enforce the arrears 3,000 shares were plid up, and 2 ; 000 were forfeited. The forfeiture ot these shares had the effect of increasing the value of the ,:,cock of the present holders to the amount ot 10,0001. They found that the company were under heavy liebiii ties to Mr. Jackson for completing the line to CsM brige. He was to have 54,0001. The prices of 1850 were not the prices of 1846, and Mr. Jackson, in a very Liberal Manner, reduced his claim to 28,0004 thus saving the company 26 0001. in going to Cambridge. Mr. Jack eon held a large amount of their debentures, end in order to assist the company, be reduced the rate of interest on them from sto 3f per cent. The company saved 1,3031 a year by these arrangements. Mr. R. Stephenson re duced his claim, which amounted to more than 5,0001., to 2,500/. The Electric Telegraph Company kindly re duced their claim for 700/. against the company to 3501., and the charge for the use of the electric telegraph from 3001. a year to-1001. a year. He then stated the terms of the arrangement entered into with the Eastern Counties Company, which he believed would secure to the Newmarket a dividend of 3 permit. per annum, and place the company in a safe and firm position. He had made an estimate of the advantages obtained for the company i)y the exertions of the present board. They amounted, on the whole, to about 10,2001. per annum. These ad eentages to the proprietors, including the sums paid on forfeited shares, amounted to 61,2001.; the traffic ar rangements with the Eastern Counties Company to 2.000/. a-year. equivalent to 40,0001., and the 5,0001. guarantee to 100,000/. The gradual improvement in their property since the day they appointed the com mittee of investigation appeared from his figures to amount to 211,000/. He concluded by moving the adop• Lion of the report and accounts.—(Applause.) Mr. PALMING said he bad great pleasure in seconding the adoption of so satisfactory a report. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. The retiring director, Mr. Ball, was then reelected, as was also Mr. A. K. Baker, the retiring auditor. On the motion of Mr. CAMPLIN, seconded by Mr. Paula/ea, a vote of thanks was passed to the directors, and 6001 a year placed at their disposal. Mr. BAKER called attention to the services of Mr. Brown, the secretary and manager, with a view to the shareholders recommending the directors to consider the subject of increasing his salary. The increase was re commended accordingly. On the motion of Mr. BALL a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Jackson fur the considerate and liberal manner in which he had acted towards the company. The meeting was then made special for the considera tion of the agreement ,entered into with the Eastern Counties Company. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect, that the agreement with the Eastern Counties Railway be erlopted, and the directors be authorised to affix the seal or the company thereto. Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion, and in doing so, said he believed the arrangement would prove equally advantageous to both companies. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a special vote of thanks to the Chairman fur his valuable services to the eJrepany. PARIS TO STRASBURG RAILWAY. , The anneal general meeting of the share holders of this company took place ou the 29:h instant at Faris, in Herz's Great Room ; Count de Se;ur, the Pre sident, in the chair. Near him were seated the following directors :—The Duke de Gathers, Baron d'Hervey, M. Fouchard, M. Fair, M. 13aegreres, XL Blacque-Belair, M. Clary, M. Chevandier, M. Dofus- Meg, M. Dubochet, M. Hainguerlot, M. I, , lcercuard, M. Roux, and M. A. Perdouizet. The meeting being ce clared duly constituted, and the minutes of the preceding general meeting read, M. Bossange, the secretary, pro ceeded to read the report. This document cothmences by reminding the share holders of the favourable conditions of the concession granted to the company. The'whele length of the line is 662 kilometres (415 English miles) ; everything is at the charge of the State on 540 kilometres (337 i English miles), except the laying down of the way and the ballast :rig, and the moveable stock necessary for the working. The branch line from Frouard to the Prussian frontier, of a length of 122 kilometres (76i English mile) is, however, completely at the charge of the company, but it did not present the same difficulties of execution as those which marked the main line. Experience has shown that the average cost of a kilometre on any great railway amounted to 375,000 francs, but in trio present case it was only 188,821 francs. As was announced at the last general meeting, the company ead offered to assist the State at a fair rate of payment in the execution of part of the line. The offer having been accepted, the company bad executed the works which were necessary between Vitry-le-Frangais and filar-le-Due, so that this section, which otherwise could not have been opened to the public until to wards the commencement of 1852, will be opened in the course of next month. The report then touched on the working of the line during the past year, and its results. The gross receipts have amounted to 6,007,417 f. 75c., from which, when the various taxes, duties, indemnities, &c., have been deducted, there re motes, for the nett receipts, A sum o f Th© expenses being 2,682,075 f. 58c. The receipt haveThebalance i u l 2,952,465 f. 25c. illy increased in proportion as the extent of line opened became more considerable; periods, the first lastwould year were divided into two i li e bti give 2,4901. 97c. per kilom. per month ; and t latter, 2,802 f. 54c., showing a general increase of thir t een of per cent.

FRIDAY EVEN I N G, Al Art 41 ,, f The statutes interd , cts the distrihulion of any dividend until the whole line id op en to the public, the profits of the working are always to be invested for the benefit of the company. This has been done with the greatest care, and has up to the present time brought in not less than 8,857,811 f. The report then speaks of the utility of a circular junction-line between all the rail way s terminating in Paris, and laments the delay which has arisen in the execution of so important a project. It adds that it has entered into an arrangement with the Northern Company for the purpose of conjointly obtain ing permission from the Government to execute a junc tion line between their two railways close to Paris. which would be the cause of great convenience, and saving of expense to both companies. " You may perceive, gentlemen," continues the report, in sum ming up what precedes, " how satisfactory is the situation of our enterprise. The social capital is uninjured ; out of the sum of 11,037,500 f., paid in interest since the origin of our society, we have been able to restore to the social capital 8,857,311 f. 17c., we have experienced neither losses nor disappoint ments : the working of the 205 kilom. (128/ Eng lish miles) from Paris to Vitry has produced an average of 7 3-10 per cent. on the capital expended on that section; we hope to be able in the course of next month to open the section from Vitry to Barle-le-Due, and that from Sarreburg to Strasburg; and in the course of the month of July, the section from Metz to St. Avoid, making altogether 173 kilom., which, joined to the 261 kilom. already opened, will form an extent of 434 kilom. (2711 English miles) at full work in the first six months of the present year ; we shall be able to open in the spring of 1852 the section from Bar-le-Due to Toul, and that from Nancy to Lune vale; and, should no unforeseen events arise, we have every expectation of opening the whole of the principal line and the branch line of Saarbruck in the autumn of 1852; the activity imparted to the works has enabled us to regain a portion of the time lost in consequence of the events of 1848; in fine, we approach the end which for upwards of five years we have been endeavouring to attain. We regret to have to inform you of the death of General de Mouthion, whose enlighteud and unremitting co.ope ration was never withheld from us. We have also to state that Admiral Arnoux, of whose ability and expe rience we have had so many proofs, being under the necessity of quitting Paris, has sent in his resignation. Notwithstanding the importance of the task which still remains for us to accomplish, and the multiplicity of works of every kind which are its necessary conoo• mitauts, we do not intend to propose to you to fill up at present these two vacancies. We shall wait until the whole lino is finished before we ask you to decide on what is to be done. It is only then that we shall enter on a regular situation, and that we shall be able to judge of what course it will be hest to adopt." The report then touches on the important point of the loan of 35 millions, which had been suggested by some per sons as a means of dispensing with the payment of the last 100 f. on each share. Th report, atter expressing the regret of the directors that the question had been ever raised, denies that either the directors or a general meeting of the shareholders have a right to deliberate on such a proposition. No article of the statutes au thorises any such course, as, according to them, a loan is permitted only in case the funds of the company are in sufficient to ex, cute any part of the works. But were a loan of 25 millions efroted, it would change the con tract by which the company existed, and consecpeetly alter altogether the position of the shareholders. Sup posing, too, that the lean was legal and practicable, would it be advi,ahla to have recourse to it I The board thought not. Unless the loan-t on& of a company had a preference over the shares, and presented some decided advantage to the holders, they were of difficult negotia• tion. In either case the shareholders would suffee. In the first, hecau9e the bonds would receive a fixed inte rest, whilst the shares were obliged to receive what the working gave; and in the second, b.cause whatever advan:age was given to the bonds must be efEcted at the cost of the shares. Independently of these conside rations, there was another rests , n sgaihst contracting a loan, which was most conclusive, namely, that in order to be enabled to effect one, permission must be asked 'from the Council of State, the decision of which would not be given, in all probability, for months. During that time the calls would he stopped, and consequently the execution of the works arrested, which event would prove of the very greatest detriment to the company, as by the eahier des charges it was bound to have all its en gagem.9,nts terminated in the course of the ensuing year. rite report also touches on another project which had been suggested—viz , to contract a loan of 25 millions for three years only. It admits that such a plan ap peared less objectionable than the other, but that it did not present sufficient advantages to induce the board to entertain it." When the reading of this report, which was received with loud applause from the meeting, had terminated, M. Hermit), one of the members of the commission, named at the last general meeting to verify the accounts, read a report, in which the commission spoke in very high terms of the careful and accurate manner in which the accounts are kept on ever part of the line. Tun accounts for 1850 were then approved of, and a vote of thanks passed to the commisson, the three gen tlemen composing it being re-elected for the present year by acclamation. M. Bossange then read the articles of the treaty agreed to with the Strasburg to Bale Company, as alluded to in the report. This treaty was then put to the vote and adopted, without a dissentient voice. The arrangement with the Northern Company, for the purpose of uniting the two lines together, was also ap proved of unanimously. A Shareholder having inquired whether there was any probability of any part of the last 100 f. on each share not being required from the shareholders? The Chairman said that all that the board could state at the present time was that it saw no reason to depart from the course which it had hitherto adopted of mak ing calls of 25f. at such periods as the execution of the works would permit. The next call would be on July 1, and would, as before, amount to 25f. per share. The meeting then separated. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT Yesterday morning intelligence reached Manchester of a dreadful railway accident in the Ftodsham tunnel, on the Lancashire and Cheshire Junction line, about half. pest seven o'clock on the previous (Wednesday) evening. A. great Lumber of people were said to have been brought to Maechese r during the night who were more or le,s injured, and it was rumoured that at least eight lives had been lest. There had been a great traffic over this line on Wedeesday, owing to its being the principal day of the Chester races, and the facts which first came to our correspondent's knowledge respecting the accident were, that three trains had left Che-ter on Wednesday nigh, twirh gre •t numbers of passengers for Warrington and Manchester, in quick succession; that the firer train, having too meny peseengera for the power of the loco- motive, came to a dead stand in the middle of the Frod sham tunnel, which is a mile and a half leng, and was run into by the second, but without much injury to either train, anti teat then the third train came up at a rapid pace and ran into the other two with a fearful cras:h, the tail lights of the second train in advance being obscured by the dense steam with which the tunnel was tilled. The following particulars were gathered from gentlemen who had been passengers by one or other of toe trains:— Colonel Petit, of the 50th Regiment, at Manchester, says he left Chester by a train at a quarter before seven on Wednesday evening. It was a very lone train, and be was in a first-class carriage, near the end. On ar riving in the tunnel at Sutton, by Frodshain (ten miles from Chester). under Sir Richard Brookes' property, the train, which had been going very slowly, came to a stand for want of steam, and the hest train ran into them from behind, although the guard had been sent back to show a light as a signal for caution. The carriage in which he sat was entirely crushed, and he lost conscious ness for some time. Oa recovering he found himself sitting on a portion of the carriage, the frame of which appeared to have been demolished, and he walked out apparently on a level with the ground, and came in con tact with the side of the tunnel. It was intensely dark, but he believed he saw four or five persons who had been killed, and a great many with broken limbs. Miss or Mrs. Ridgway, of Bolton, a lady who was in her own carriage, with servants, was amongst the killed. He (Colonel Petit) was cut about the head and face, but not seriously injured. Mr. Fulham, of Manchester, said he was in a first class carriage in the middle of a train which left Chester at a quarter-past seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. Wheu they arrived in the tunnel near Frodsham they stuck fast for want of steam, there being so little that the engine driver could not raise a whistle. Thay re mained stationary for at least three-quarters of an u s p eve v ra er l y na r r a r p ia i g d e ly s hour, when another train came smashing and and throwingran i into them two behind, h t inne line. An immense numberd , of people were injured, some having broken legs. The only light in any of the carriages was in that he was in, and that was procured as a favour at Chester. He thought there were twenty-five or thirty carriages in the train, most of them being covered. In the train which ran into it there were many open trucks with people standing up. He reached Manchester about one o'clock, being only hurt in the back, and not seriously. The guard of the third train says it left Chester at half-past seven, and that there were lights at the tail of the train in advance, but that the steam from the en gine had so filled the tunnel that they could not be seen. Mr. Ansell, superintendent of the electric telegraph for the Manchester district, says he was in a first.class carriage (about the fifth) of the second train. The first train of the three left Chester at five minutes to seven, and consisted of about twenty carriages. In the Fred sham tunnel they struck the first train, but did not smash it as they were going very slowly at the time. No person in the secoud train was hurt by that collision, he thought, but a few persona in the first were bruised. They had not become stationary more than three or four minuteswhen the third train came into them, producing a fearful crash. There were about 25 carriages in the second train. The carriage iu which be was sitting was smashed and the roof knocked off. No one in the same compartment was hurt, but he assisted to take out two men from an other compartment, one of whom bad lost his fingers, and the other was severely cut on the head. Another gentleman, who appeared much hurt, was brought on to the Albion hotel, Manchester. After the accident the greatest confusion and excitement prevailed on so (4I,o, u n t of the utter darkness prevailing. Tile cries for were frightful.

Since writing vie above it has been ascertained that the following persons were injured :—Mr. Leete, sur geon, leg broken; Mr. Wilson, spirit merchant, thigh broken; and Mrs. Lennox, leg injured, all of Newton, and have been conveyed to their own houses; Mr. flurry, of Newton, compound fracture of the leg, Mrs. Hurry. eye cut—are at the Legh Arms Hotel. Newton-bridge, where also is Mr. H. Napier, calico printer, who is suf fering from severe internal injuries. At the Patten Arms, Warrington, are lying—Mr. Martin, clerk to the London and North-Western Railway, who is severely shaken; Mr. Henderson, manufacturer, of York, who is slightly injured; and Mr. Hughes, dyer, of Manchester. Our correspondent at Manchester took the train to Frodsham and Chester yesterday, and leernt at the former place there were about 1,500 people altogether in the three trains, of whom it is supposed 35 or upwards were badly hurt, either by fractures or otherwise, besides five killed in the tunnel, and three who had since died. The killed include Mrs. Ridgway, of Bolton, and a Mr. Davidson, of Manchester. The names of the other per sons killed had not been ascertained. Persons who had missed friends were coming by every train from Man chester, expecting to find them among the killed or wounded. A temporary hospital at the Sutton end of the tunnel bad been established for the sufferers still alive who had not friends to attend upon them or see them home by the various trains. A Mr. Rooper bad been sent home to Cheetham, near Manchester, attended by Mr. Burgess, surgeon, Frodsham, with injuries which left but little hopes of his surviving the accident. He had sustained a fracture of the breast-bone, compound fracture of one leg, and fracture of one arm. The inquest is fixed for to-day (Friday). ourtii Ebttton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. ELECTION COMMITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) HARWICH. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) When the evidence was concluded some discussion arose as to the mode of proceeding, and it was ultimately arranged that Mr. Phinn should address the Committee to-morrow. The Committee then adjourned until eleven to-morrow. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) The crowd which awaited the unclosing of the gate of the Crystal Palace this morning was certainly not so great as that tempted there by yesterday's pageant, but the doors had not been long open before a strewn of season-ticket holders began to pour in, and before an hour bad elapsed scarce a department of the building was without its fair share of visitors. On entering the building we were at once struck with the fact that rapid progress had been made since yesterday towards bringing everything to a state of completion. Numerous articles were displayed to-day throughout, which yesterday from some cause or other had not been displayed, and on every aide the busy hum of preparation, and the bustling attendants showed that every anxiety was felt in all quarters to complete the display, and to dispel all doubts and fears which the apparent backwardness of some de partments might have awakened. The enthusiasm which was excited in faveur of the Exhibition by the success o. yesterday's glorious ceremony, was evinced this morning by the rush made at the office fur the purchase of season tickets, almost equalb.d the excitement of the few last days preceding the opening. Her Majesty's visit, the splt uncut of the pageant which of itself alone was sufficient to have im mortaliz?d the Crystal Palace as the scene of the moat soul-stirring event which has ever been witnessed it the history of Europe, and the complete satisfaction which was evinced on every hand stamped upon the undertaking the assurance of succers, confirmed the hesitating, and even converted those who had been hitherto sceptical, that the promises which had been held out, and the anticipa tions which had been excited, would be carried out to the full. The number of visitors who obtained admis- sion by payment at the doors was also considerable, even though the price fixed was a guinea, and if to-day, with all its drawbacks, be taken as a specimen of the eagerness of the public to view the wonders of the Crysta' Palace, its success will be beyond all anticipation. The snits of rooms in the Austrian department were crowded throughout he day , and the exquisitely beauti ful manner in which they are fitted up, called forth the warmest expressions of admiration. Two rooms also which have been fitted up close to the north en trance for the accommodation of her Majesty, when she visits the building were also prominent ob jects of curiosity, The interior is lined with fluted columns of blue and white, the furniture of the same hue, relieved by festoons of white lace. We understand that it is not intended to have a mili tary force on the premises, with the exception of two sentinels of the Guards at the entrance, and these more as marks of honour than for any use, as the excellent arrangements of Mr. Pearce and the A division are fully sufficient for any contingecies. A line of electric telegraphic has, however, been laid down from the building, through the park, to Scotland yard, so that should any emergency arise no time will be lost in the dispatch of assistance. There is a branch also to Buckingham Palace, which will be used to con vey messages to the royal circle of the doings of each day and hour at the Crystal Palace, in which they took so deep an interest. When we left the building at three o'clock, we met a long string of carriages, filled with visitors, pro ceeding thither even at that hour. A new gate has been opened to-day in the Park, just below Hyde-park Cor ner, for the admission of carriages which are proceeding I. set down at the building. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

ME 1 ROPOLITAN BUILDINGS BILL. Sir B. HALL asked the Noble Lord the First Com missioner of Woods and Forests whether he intended to proceed with the Metropolitan Buildings Bill in its present shape ? Lord SEYMOUR said he found, from the information be had received, that it would be advisable to make con siderable alterations in the Bill. He, therefore, thought it was better that he should move that the order of the day should be discharged, and that another Bill should be brought in in an amended form. CHURCH RATES. Mr. TRELAWNY wished to ask the Secretary of State what course it would be advisable for him to per hue, since the Hon. Ditember for Sutherlandshire refused to serve on the Committee which be had obtained en the subject of chure..rates Sir G. GREY said that he had not understood such to be the determination of the Hon. Member for Suther landehire, but if it were the case, it would be best to communicate in private with the Noble Lord at the head of the Government. Sir D. DUNDAS wished to explain. He certainly had said that it would be inconvenient for him to act on the Committee, but at the same time he bad said that, if it were desired, he should be ready to serve. Mr. TRELAWNY apologised. He said he had en tirely mistaken the Hon. B-Nronet. The motion that the House, at its rising, do adjourn until Monday next was then put and carried. THE NEW EQUESTRIAN RIDE IN KENSING- TON-GARDENS. Mr. lIUME wes very unwilling to interfere with the public business of the House, but he had seen with much regr , t that an order had been issued for forming an E. questrian roadway in Kensington-gardens in those s which had hit t aerto been appropriated to the F art convenience of pedestrians. He had for twenty-four years enleavoured to obtain advantages for those who were, like himself, residents of the parish of Marylebone; and if it was of importance to him, it was of still greater importance to those in the parish, who toned their greatest enjoyment in the quietude of a place which had hifherto been devoted to the personal enjoyment of tle defile us of London. If there were any excuse for tots invasion or the rights of the pedes trians he would not have made any special complaint, but the case was widely different, for there was abun dance of room in Hyde-perk, where the equestrians could erjoy them,elves as much as they pleased. Why, then, should those private—for private he might call them— why s hould those private rights be interfered with? He wished to know whet the Government intended to do in the re after and concluded by presenting a petition from the Marylebone district, praying for an alteration of the order which they understood bad been issued for the formation of an rqu.sirian road in Kensington gardens. Lord SEYMOUR said last year, when the great Ex hibition was under discussion, the difficulty was simply where they should get a substitute tor the ride iu Rotten row, for it saeneed then to be generally con.idered that a substitute ought to be found for the accommodation of the public. At first it was contemplated to make the ride in Hyde-park as suggested by the lion. Member himself, but the Commander-in-Cbief said it would.seriously interfere with the exercises of the mili tary, and it was therefore abandoned. There was then no alternetive hut to fix the ride in Kensington-gardens, as the macadamised road inkiegent's-park was quite unfit for it. With regard to females and children, the Hon. Gentleman was, perhaps, not aware that the present se clusion and retirement of Kensington-gardens was not wittatait its (Linger to lemales—(l.aughter)—and allow ing equestrians to ride in the gardens would contribute to the security of the females without at all interfering with the comfort and convenience of the public. The ride would only c,ntinue for the next three or four months, while the town was crowded. The subject then dropped. SYNOD OF EXETER. Mr. CHILDERS called the attention of the Govern ment to the diocesan synod contemplated by the Bishop of Exeter. The Hors. Member read the letter which the Bishop has already published, announcing his in tention to call the synod, and then asked the Noble Lord at the head of the Ministry if he was prepared to take any steps in reference to it, He wished to ask the Government what they thought was likely to be the consequence of these synods pre presided over by the Bishop of Exeter?—(Hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, as the Honourable Member had given notice of his question, he had thought it necessary to take the opinions of the law officers of the Crown with regard to dio cesan synods. The Honourable Gentleman had correctly stated that the Bishop of Exeter proposed to call together a certain assembly of clergymen of the diocese, elected after a certain manner, to confer on subjects to which the Bishop of Exeter referred in his letter. It did not appear to him (Lord John Russell) that that assembly, though called by the Bishop of Exeter, bore in any respect the character of a synod, either as to the mode of assembling, or the sub jects which were proposed to be brought before it. The 25th of Henry VIII. bad reference to provincial and diocesan synods—provincial synods could not be called except by the King's writ, or pass any canons without the consent of the Crown, and if any person offended against this law he was liable to imprisonment during the pleasure of the Crown. Dio cesan synods, however, could be called by the bishop. The restriction as to passing canons might certainly be held to apply to diocesan synods; but whether that was so or not it did not affect the question, as the Bishop of Exeter had expressly declared that the assembly which he proposed to call should not declare any ca. one. It was, therefore, very clear, whatever purpose the Bishop had in view , he did not intend to contravt : ne the Act of Henry VIII., or, as it was called, the Act of Submission. The Attorney- General and Solicitor• General did not think such an assembly of clrrg)mcn would he unlawful; but the bishop had giver a term, and ho (Lord J. Rus sell) th•wught very unfortunately, to the us:embly which was calculated to give rise to the appearance that it was contrary to law. It was most unfortunate, to use no harsher term, that the bishop had given the name of synod to an assembly framed in a drff.•rent co s y, rind c,cll , d together for a 'Jiff-lent purpose. Tut, Bishup or i gliCsiititi th e judgment of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and it was to impugn that decision that he had called , - - tog: Cher the synra. With regard to the 1 01 gauge which he had uy'd towards the Archbishop of Cantt..thury, it was well kni , wn that that Rev. Prelate veal a man or pt culiar mildness, and of truly Cbristisn forbearance—(Hear, hear)—and it was precisely be cause he wits a Mtn of such mildness and forbearance that this language had been used against him' But there was no doubt bat that without any interposition of the Govtanment or of Parliament , the Pritnste of all Ei gland would so conduct himself 8 , 8 to meet with that general veneration which he had el!:. flays obtained; and that nothing that could be 041 a against him by the Bishop of Exeter could weaken his adherence to the doctrines which he be lieves to be the true doctrines of his 0" Church, conformable to the le:ter and spirit of Scrip ture, et least he would never depart from his venerable character by using opprobrious language and epitets at all to diminish the purity and holiness which belonged to his exalted rank.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. HORSM AN said there was no need to defend the character of the Archbishop of Canterbury fr om the attacks of a man like the Bishop of Exeter. He th ou g hts howt.ver. tha t the conseque n ces of the act propos ed 131 the Bishop of Exeter would extend farther than the Noble Lord anticipated, and he would like to know fr the Attorney General whether it was not directly for bidden by the 73d canon. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that canon OP' plied more particul a rly t o pr ov incial synods. T h e e d Act which it WWI thought the Bishop bad offend 1. ! against was the 24th and 25th Henry Vi l a The canon was either i n valid or in su fficient. He s hell say the latter, for it was clearly evident that unless as Act was passed for enforcing it more strongly it w ciu be quite incapable for effecting any alterrtion in th e Bishop of Exeier's movements.—(Cheer4.) FOREIGN PASSPORTS. Mr. J. B. SMITH rose to ask a question of whic h be had given notice in words as definite as he could devi l: of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign D e P sr e n went, as to whether be intended to make any alterabe ni . of the sy stern of passports to be granted to passenger s fr° re . the continent to this country. When several ressenge, were landing at, Dover the' other day, they were not 04 examined but their passports were demanded and bey, were subjected to no small amount of unplessanl, • While lately making a tour through different Pa r te , of the Continent, it was true that on ing France he had to submit to the of his passport, but when afterwards passing e so of France into Belgium, and on afterwards retuning - , France no passport was demanded. It appeared. h ie that a foreigner, in coming to this country, was sw -- 0 lately subjected to greater inconvenience thS„ j ° e a s. Englishman had to endure in going abroad, obis he wished to know, therefore, was, whether the o %a eonrdteepsit, Lord at the head of the Foreign Department had caw any measures to be taken for obviating this inc° lll nience? Lord PALMERSTON said that it was quite unnec e nn • sary for any foreigner to show his passport o n landing ,5 . . British shores. By the law of 1836, it was enacted every foreigner on disembarking from his vessel skit ) ? give his name, either by showing his passport or d ( n r i c; so verbally. It was not requited that be should 0° his passport, but it was necessary to get his th a t in order that it might be recorded. That WSS S 11 1 - was required. cl ear s Mr. COBDEN said that it ought to be 0 5 ,,,,d known that no passphrts whatever were reclu'...* for foreigners entering this country. It - err evidently that the ' system was totally inoPP e ' if 1 tive, and therefore ought to be abandoned. 0e..: a passenrer landed et Newhaven or at Shoreham 13 6 d passport was demanded, because there was nobody t hat.,, /S t take it, but it he lauded at Dover or Folkestor e unless he prod uc ed a p ass p or t, h o was subject to Pls s e of 40s. It would only b e commensurate w ith good s et/ if the system were to be altogetcer abandoned. The subject then dropped. EMIGRATION TO AMERICA. h Mr. M•CULLAGH rose to ca ll t h e atten tion of ' House to the sutject of a return recently p re sented : the House respecting the treatment of passengers h ° B ; board the emigrant ship Washington; also, to ask I ". Secretary of State for the Rome. Department whether ther f would be any objection to lay upon the table a COPT the letter lately addressed by him to the Mayor of his s. verpool, with reference to the death of the late Ed o o . Rushton, Esq , stipeediary magistrate of that toWils In putting this question, he said that he hoped the B h o 4 o o Hon. Geneeetan was aware that not less• than 200, lA, persons sailed for America every year, an d 0 wished to know whether the Secretary for the g o bs , Department had made any arrangements to prevent ' so evils of which emigrants had had so much reasat . complain during the last twelve months? to Sir. G. GREY said he should have no o bjection produce the document which the Hon. and Learned 0° 11 ; tlecaan referred to. The Government regretted abl e ' abases as much as he did, and they n e s now in communication with the authorit 5. , of' Liverpool. All emigrant ships, before they left P A ° b r to matter whether foreign or British, were exec:al:lo'4h a proper of fi cer, to see that they were furnished 0 ,', 4 every thing necessary to insure the safety and 0000 4 of the passengers, aid many of the abuses which " t ea Hon. and Learned Gentleman complained of ooeurr out of the jurisdiction of the English law. The subject then dropped. EXETER SYNOD. • 01 Mr. MANGLES, adverting to a previous top%, conversation, said he felt aggrieved at the lange ll/ e'd , which the Bishop of Exeter had u se d in his letter, 11 „'", he considered every man, woman, and child _belobr; to the Church of England would do so. 0 0 , ° ,.; as it was a maxim of our law P' l , no wrong could be committed without a remedl• ; 0 4 , should be glad to know from the Noble `Lord at to head of the Government whether he was prepare' apply a remedy to this case? the The SPEAKER reminded the Hon. Member tha t - question before the House was, that the House at its riej°g 0 do adjourn till Monday, and yet a variety of su b j ec c o bad been discussed, which had no referenlo whatever to that motion. That course ,} l b o most inconvenient and exceedingly irregular. c i f Noble Lord at the bead of the Government had vir e° s t o • spoken once on this motion, and it would be contrail order for him to sr,eals, again.—(Hear, hear.) • o s Mr. HUME wi.hed to know then upon what occaelge, Members of the House could bring forward the 6e,1 vances of the people.—(" Oh," and cries of " Order. ) Here this matter dropped. HOUSE DUTY. f the Mr. EWART wished to ask the Chancellor 0. ap t Exchequer. whether buildings subdivided into 0( 0 ' 0 , dwellings (like model lodging-houses, and houses. °f o b ' pied in flats or portions of flats, as in Scotland)•••••'„cl dwellings being valued under 201. a-year and separately—will be subject to the house-duty? it The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sai d en would be very difficult to draw a distinction bet,"'',;so houses so occupied in order to exempt them from 0 " duty. The motion was then agreed to. PROPERTY-TAX BILL. pro' On the motion for gcing into Committee on the - perty-tax. Bill, • Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS moved that the P r b c ; visions of the said Bill, as far as regarded ty imposition of that tax on th e int er e s t o f the P - 1 , lic debt, salaries, and em o l ume nt s of public d, cers, pensions, and sinecur es b e ext e nd e d to ire li n i re The Hon. Mk inber said nothing tended 111 ;0 to sever the union which ought to exist bet England and Ireland, than tho adoption °f i bs different system of law and taxation In I r y two countries. On all the occasions when the ,: r d comeriax was discussed in the House he had Dever er one efficient reason givrn why it should not 13 (3 ' n v tended to Ireland as well as England. The ° " to o reason of any `awe assigned was that Ireland vvo s ;be poor, but ho considered that a man in Ireland to gs receipt of 150/. a 3 ear was ss capable of paying th e , ' ( 1, as a man receiving the anal° cum annually in EDO" He consequently ought to be made to pay the tax.
