THE PROMISSORY OATHS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. RITUALISM. In answer to Earl SIIAFrESBUitT, The Earl of MALMESBUItY said that the report of the Royal Commission on Ritualism had been presented to her Majesty, and that he would answer his lordship's question in a day or two. TIIE IRISH CHURCH - . The Earl of DERBY said that he was quite aware that if he were to enter into any - of the Resolutions which were now befereti the "-.°114e of Commons he would be out, of ord'or. 'lint befeit ,tho' Eistei.recess there was alereat' Agestion bzlought fwee,e;;. 'wniCh. he might advert \ Vfiera were three 'resOliitron4 which were .to be pro posed—the first, the expediency of disestablishing the Irish Church ; 2ndly, that no new appointments should be made with regard to that Church; and 3rdly, that an address should be submitted tothe Crown that its patronage as to the Treat dignitaries of the Church should be placed at the disposal of the Ifouse of Commons. The noble earl then adverted to the course pursued by a certain emi ninent person in the House of Cemmons, and also to the enunciation of opinion which had been made by the noble earl opposite (Earl Russell) as to the position of the Irish The was one Church, and stated th at the views of the noble earl had changed from tim e t o time, and since he left office no less than four chang es h a d come over him. of the most import an t , i t was whethlr or net the State should connect its e lf w i th the religious education of the country, but th e noble earl had said that he was question 'quite willing that no religion at all shoal I be supported. The question ho desired to put to the noble earl was what would be the course pursued in that house if, as he thought it would be, that the resolutions were passed in the other house, whether it was the inten tion of the noble earl to bring this unexpected subject before their lordships' house for their opinion upon it ? Lord Derby then adverted to the speech of Earl Russell at St. James's Hall. He thought that, during this Par liament, which had but a few months to live, his right hon. friend who was at the head of the Government and who certainly had not anything to do with this pre sent Parliament, would not through any factious oppo sition resign their offices until they had the opinion of a more extended constituency than that which at present existed. He again adverted to the conduct of Earl Russell in 1835 when Lord Melbourne introduced a bill as to the question of tithes, and ho said that he was quite prepared to imagine that he would give Mr. Gladstone the same advice as to his course as th e one h e that year, but th ere was no parallel and this was a case i n wh i ch it l b l e im tw se e l e f n a th do a r t te , tu d e j s p tion, would be' better to call upon the Crown to act upon Resolutions of the House of Commons in dafianee of Acts of Parliament, wbich could not be done, and in this matter the noble earl was wrong. lie would not impute motives ! but in 1835 the noble earl ousted Sir R. Pool from Wit co, an d although defeated remained in office, and hal the satisfac tion of settling the Tithe question, and those wh o oppose d had for 33 years the pleasure of rem a i n i ng unable to do anything in the matter, which the noble earl himself had opposed. He hoped that during the short time that Parliament should last that there should not be the introduction of a bill which, in stead, of promoting concord, would introduce discord 'and irreligious rancour and animosity, and he trusted there would not be the formation of a new Ministry founded upon the rejection of a measure upon which the two Houses of Parliament must be divided. Earl RUSSELL said that• he thought the course pursued by the noble Earl was somewhat extraordinary. Ire said that ho would not bring forward the Resolutions, but that he would discuss the effect of those Resolutions. If a member of the Must) of Commons did so, he would bo quite in order, but in this house, while the debate was going on in the other house, it was quite unusual. For himself ho must say that his motive was that ho wished to see the Union of Ireland with England become a complete combination, and that was what, in his political career, he had always sought to effect. Lord MALMESRI . JRY warmly cond emne d the attack which bad boon made upon Lord Derby and the conduct of the Duke of Argyll, Lord Russell, and Lord Granville (who had left the house) in leaving it before it could be replied to. While ho was speaking the Duke of Argyll and Lord Granville came back and took their places. Lord Malmesbury then continued his remarks, and maintained that the course the Government had taken was right, and that it was within the province of any independent peer to bring any topic which he thought worthy the attention of the house under its notice. Their 19rtiohips then adjourned. Mr. EYKYN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Governmlnt, in consequence of the bar'earous murder that recently took place in the county of Westmeath, to apply to Parliament for extension of their powers under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, as to enable them to adopt against Ribbonism and agrarian outrage the same course that had been so successfully adopted for the suppression of Fenian ism in Ireland. Letarl MA:Yoiiatit.l44lcl itink -- the State the cotintry would justitY4hiriCloiiernment-ln extending the suppression of the Habeas Corpus: -Act to any other offence than Fenianism. FEVER IN THE MAURITIUS. In reply to Mr. WHALLEY, Sir J. PAKINGTON said tho fever, happily, was do- creasing, as was also the mortality, up to the date of the latest intelligence. There had been a great deal of illness but happily very few deaths. The mortality had affected women and children more than man. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. • Mr. VERNER said he had heard it rumoured that the debate on the Irish Church was to close by arrangement to-night. Now he wished to know if such was the case what opportunity would be offered to those who repre sented northern constituencies in Ireland of expressing their opinions on the subject of the Irish Church ? Mr. DISRAELI said there had been some talk on the matter last night, but he found that the attempt to regu late the debate was a subject of great difficulty. It was wished that a decision should be taken to a distinct issue —(hear, hear) —and he should offer no obstacle to that being done. But it appeared that several hon. mom• bers wished to express their opinions, and therefore it would be for the house to express its view of the matter. Mr. GLADSTONE said there was no desire to unneces sarily prolong the debate on his side of the house, because, as far as the specific question was concerned, it had been practically and thoroughly debated. THE IRISH. odußcEr. . 1%6 adjourned debate on the resolutions submitted by Mr. Gladstone was resumed by Colonel BAUTTELOT denying that the great mass of the Irish people were discontented with the state of the Established Church as it at present existed in Ireland. The agitation was got up by others from interested motives rather than from any other. circumstance. lie contended that tle quietness of the north part of Ire-- land, which had remained loyal, whilst Fenianistn w.ts rampant in the south, was solely to be attributed to the existence of the influence of the Established Church. The great panacea for the pacification of Ireland would be the passing for hor of laws as liberal as those enacted for other parts of . Great Britain. He hoped the great Conservative party would to a man vote against the resolution proposed by the hon. gentleman opposite. Mr. BUXTON said ho really had to offer his sympathy , to the right hon. gentteman the First Lord of the Trea sury in his being compelled to march through Coventry with such a ragged regiment of reasons us those paraded by his supporters. (Laughter.) The house had been also inun dated with the Lord Plunkett argument and others abut the coronation oath, but the only one that he had heard that had the smallest show of respectability about it was that the precedent set in Ireland would certainly 'result in the same course being followed with rezak,d • to England. , I n answer to that, ho had only to say that the Cotirse;tpui t sued>vith respect' to the Established Church in Ireland was dictated solely by justice. (Hear, hear.) The debate was brought to a close by Mr. Bearden, who made a few observations (interrupted by an ineffectual at tempt to count out the house), and it was then adjourned until Thursday, Sir M. Beach, as *as understood, being in possession of the house. Some other business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at 1 o'clock. TIIE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The fi nale of the Abyssinian expedition com bines every feature that could render it dramatically complete. A t the same time it disconcerts almost every previous speculation on the probable issue. There were some who believed that King Theodore would meet us in the open field and submit to his fate if defeated, and some who believed that he would shut himself up in Magdala without fighting, while others maintained that he would refuse to deal with us as enemies at all, but would give up his prisoners as an act of grace. However this might be, a fear was very generally entertained, if it was seldom expressed, that in any event he would take a cruel revenge on the captives for whatever success might be obtained by our troops, or hurry them off at the last moment to some fast ness iu the far west of his rugged territory. None of these predictions has been verified, and what has actually come to pass exceeds not only our expecta tions, but our most sanguine hopes. Our country men, though released spontaneously instead of being massacred, were not the less rescued by the British army. Not until the guns in which the Abyssinian Ruler trusted were found powerless against our artillery, and the means of escape were cut off, did be send all the Europeans in his power into Sir Robert Napier's camp. Not even then did he con template surrender, and it is possible that, but for the desertion and treachery of his followers, the capture of Magdala would have been delayed for days and cost us far more dearly. The desperate courage which sustained him in his extremity, whether he fell, like Saul, by his own hand, or, like Tippoo Sultan, was killed in the melee of the storm, was not unworthy of his earlier exploits and extraordinary fame in Abyssinia. After the defeat of Good Friday, and the subsequent loss of an im portant post, he can scarcely have expected to hold Magdala permanently against us ; but he did not, even in his despair, wreak his vengeance, as he might, upon Mr. Rassam and his companions. This forbearance seems to give us a new insight into his character. It appears inexplicable, unless we suppose that his conduct has throughout been dic tated by a certain barbarous sentiment of honour, which, had we understood it, might have been satisfied in the first instance, without loss of dig nity, by pacific; explanatiOns: These considerations, however, must not be al lowed to obscure our appreciation of the signal results achieved. Never, perhaps, in our military history was a most arduous campaign more skilfully planned or more vigorously carried out, and the merit both of conception and execution is due, by universal consent, to one man. Sir Robert Napier, if he had not absolutely carte blanche in respect of expenditure and organisation, was certainly in trusted with a larger discretion than Wellington or A.lFO9rough ever obtAineirl. _ Unlike Wellington or Marlborough, too, he was an Engineer officer, and this circumstance, though it caused many great authorities to shake their heads at his appointn,ent, has assuredly exercised a most beneficial influence Upon the conduct of the expedition. Our most formidable difficulties were engineering rather than strategical difficulties. No commander, unless qua lified by engine;ging experience, would have ven ture I to overrule the judgment of his staff on thc:o matters, to assume duties which properly devolved on his subordinates, and to place himself virtually at the head of the pioneer force. Yet it is now evident to all that Sir Robert Napier was right in . the main from first to last, and that his personal ' energy, guided by his professional sagacity, has alone enabled him to capture Magdala in time to get back to Zoulla before the rainy season. Every letter from our correspondents has contained fresh evidence of his wis loin in disregarding some tradi tional rules of regular campaigning. The French . officers accompanying the march seem io have been astonished by the rapid progress made in the face of obstacles which it is probable that no European army would have surmounted with equal facility. The training acquired in Indian hill warfare has proved of , inestimable service in the Abyssinian Mountains, while the encutubrances which Indian regiments had come to regard as necessaries were cheerfully shaken off without injury to health or efliziency. This' experiment has taught us, as our Special Correspondent points out, " that an Anglo- Indian army, under an Anglo-Isictian General, can actually take the field without provoking any earth quakes, plagues, coughs, catarrhs, or any other manifestations of the Divine displea . sure, minus five sixths or thereabouts of the Anglo-Indian al lowance of followers." It is, on the other hand, far frbrn certain that without elephants it would have been possible to carry Armstrong 12-pounders at all across such passes, much less to carry them at the rate of 10 miles a day, or that without guns of that power and calibre the approaches to Magdala could have been cleared for the attacking column. Now that we can look back calmly at the whole enterprise from its inception to its virtual termination, we see no reason to conclude that its magnitude or its risks were overrated. All these risks, except that of an unhealthy climate, have been encountered, and some have proved worse than we had foreseen, but the resources of our General and the spirit of our men have risen to the emergency, and a smaller body of troops than failed to over awe two or three thousand Maories has sufficed to penetrate and conquer the so-called Empire o. Abyssinia. The expenditure has, of course, been enormous —how enormous, we have yet to learn —but it is gratifying to know that we have been prodigal of nothing but treasure. Our object has bee n atta i ned with the greatest possible economy of Europ ean li fe, and, let us add, w ith the least possible sl aug h ter of the innocent Abyssinian people. Strict di sc i p li ne has been enforced on the march, no outrages have been committed by our soldiers, and our punctua- ity in paying for everything required for their sub sistence is said to have excited the contempt of a race accustomed to estimate power by oppressive rapacity. The only measure on which the most scrupulous philanthropist can feel a \ momentary qualm is one of which the slightest reflection will show the justice and necessity. If any one doubts whether Magdala need have been stormed after the prisoners bad been given up, let him consider the consequences of the alternative. How could we have turned back, leaving Theodore's boasted stronghold untaken, himself nnsubdued, and the chiefs whci have aided us at his mercy ? Nothing short of this decisive blow would have broken the spell of his marvellous prestige, or persuaded the Oriental world that we had not bought him off by a bribe. The fall of Magdala, defended by the renowned Theodore himself, at a distance of four hundred miles from the coast, before a British force despatched flout Bombay, will produce a deep impression in every baz tar throughout Cen tral Asia. Its prompt evacuation, and our retire- ment from Abyssinia, will convince the most seep tical of Anglophobists that we have indulged in no projects of annexation, or even of protection. The Abyssinian war is a war, if there ever was one, " for an idea," and its only tangible fruits will have been the liberation of 60 Europeans and the valuable ex- perience of some months' campaigning in a countrf heretofore deemed inaccessible. It has been, in short, a modern Crusade, but a Crusade sullied by no incidents of which England need be ashamed, and not stultified by the foundation of a mock kingdom of Jerusalem, only to be maintained by fresh expeditions. -7 imes.

THE PAPAL ZO UA VES. Tie following is an extract from a letter from an English officer enlisted as a private in the .Papal Zouares-:—" 1 have l'een about two months in the Zouaves and have found everything much better than I expected, and though it was hard and trying at first, I managed to struggle through pretty well. To answer your questions relati ve t o th e m essing and pay, I consider that a private in the Zouaves gets sufficient food to live on. The messing is not so good with the depot as it is with the Com panies. I have lived on it myself for days, and would do EO now, only that some of us have been asked to mess with the officers of the company. the first thing in the morning is coffee, which is brought to the bedside of the soldier, and which he generally takes while in bed. This is better than anything of that description given to our men at borne. I always take it myself. At ten o'clock soup, generally very good, half a pound of meat, vegetables, bread, all mixed up together, forming a good and substantial mess. At two in the after noon what is called rutta, with sometimes bacon in it, generally also good. This latter varies a good deal. Rice, beans, potatoes, and, as I said, with sometimes bacon in it. The rutta is very much better with the companies than with the depot. Besides this lie gets a sufficient quantity of good wholesome bread. As regards the pay, it is very little, and if something could be done for the men in this respect it would be of great service. This could only be done privately. I mean it could not be done in connection with their military pay. 2d. a day additional pay would do a good deal, and enable the soldiers every now and then to take a pint of wine, which is necessary. It is impossible that any one can be made a non commissioned officer unless he possesses some knowledge of the French language, and this can be the only reason why some of the English have not been promoted. As the whole service of the Zouaves is carried on in French a non-commissioned officer would be useless without this knowledge. Ido not think that the authorities are willing to put the Eng lish by companies together, and, for my part, I think they are right not to make companies exclusively English, although it would be good always to have a certain number of them together, as in this case they can be of service to one another, and this 1 think they are trying to do. The Zouaves in com panies are all served out with a rifled carbine and sword bayonet, good enough weapons, but useless now-a-days. The 1,000 Remingtons will be very acceptable. I have found Colonel de Charette very obliging. Some say that he disliked the Irish who were here—perhaps they grumbled a little too much. I still hold the first rank in the army—private. Rome very full. The Zouaves again beat the other English strangers at cricket. They play in the Berghese gardens. On Monday in the Court of Queen's Bench a rule was made absolute fur a mandamus to the Bishop of London commanding him to read and examine certain books published by the vicar of Frome, alleged to con tain heretical doctrines on the subject of " the real pre sence," &c., and then to exerise his discretion whether he will issue a commission. This does not appear to be a great result, but it is important as indica:ing that the Coat Of Quivtio much has jurisdiction in l 3 lich u welter. [and ; anal after a few words from another.gentlethan, the company dispersed. THE MAY MEETINGS. INCORPORATED CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY.—A public meeting in celebration of this society's jubilee has been held at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury in the chair. During the fifty years of its existence the society has received £755,168, viz., £257,969 . : . •from royal letter collections, and £497,199 from other sources.. With these funds at its com mand, it `as made grants to 5,303 places in England and Wales (viz.; towards the erection of 1,461 new churches, rebuilding 889, and enlarging • and restoring, &c., 2,953, at an estimated cost on the part of the public of £6,2'32,900), thus aiding in the provision of 1,402,587 a.dditionyl sittings, of which about four-fifths are free. A general appeal has lately been circulated among the clergy of England and Wales to give sermons with collections on behalf of the society. The ordinary receipts of the year j;st elapsed have been - 28,422.115. 21 There has been a large increase in the amount held by the society in trust for the repa:rs of churches. The total amount of these foods, is • £42,249, while in March 1867 it was £38,524. • The : number of applications entertained during the past year was 127, and the total amount granted 26,705, and this sum will have supplemental, fecaland other resources to the e s ti ma t e d amount _ _ ' of £261,680 towards works providing increased church secomnio , lation for 25,913 persons, inclusive of 4,075 chil lren. The total number of inhabitants in the 123 places aided was 319,075, which, being divided, skews, of the manufacturing, mining, and town classes, 239,891, and agricultural, 79,184. In respect of snot ; made in former years, the sum of £6,365 has been paid since the 31st March, 1867 ; and of outstanding grants there now remains to be paid £22,472, as soon as the works are completed. Looking at the length of time the society has been in ex istence, its national character; and the extent of its opera tions, the committee considers the support which it receives from the public is miserably small, and quite inadequate to meet the opportunities of usefulness which are presented to it. Although it assists in five-sevenths of the total amount of church extension in the kingdom, its average annual income from subscriptions, donations, legacies, and collections is less than £7,ooo.—The Bishop of Ely moved a resolution of congratulation on the fact that the society had attained its fiftieth year, and sub mitted that its past usefulness in aiding the cause of church extension entitled it to the confidence and liberal support of, all true - Churchmen. Addresses in support of the claims of the society were then delivered by Arch deacon Wordsworth, Mr. Beresford. Hope, M.P., Mr. Hubbard, M.P., &c., and the proceedings terminated with the Archbishop pronouncing the benediction. BELICIOUS Ttticp SOCIETY.—The sixtyninth annual meeting has been • held in Exeter Hall, under the presidency of Mr. Duncan M`Laren, M.P. Dr.—Davis gave a rCetrni, of the report, from which it appears that during the pact year the society published over 100 new tracts and handbills, 15 books for adults, 19 for the young, and a large variety of small books for children. The society's sphere of action extends almost to every quarter of the earth, and the number of publications it issued within the year amounted to 40,991,763, being an increase of 2,271,272 over last year. If to these be added the numbc.r of probable foreign issues, the amount would be about 46,991,763, and the proximate circulation from the formation of the society, 1,238,990,000. The money grant to England and Wales amounted to £6,943 Gs. 3d.; to Scotland, 2714 is. 10d.; and to Ireland, £348 3s. sd. The total receipts were £113,092, being an increase of £2,317 over 1866. The total expenditure was £112,323, and the grants amounted to £13,467, which was £2,333 in excess of the subscriptions, donations, and collections. THE CLEREENWELL EXPLOSION.—Perhaps the subjoined summary will convey some idea of the deadly effects of this atrocity :—Six persons were killed " out right ;" six more died from its effects, according to the coroner's inquests ; five, in addition:, owe their deaths indi rectly to this means ; one young woman is in a madhouse ; forty mothers were prematurely confined, and twenty of their babes died from the effects of the explosion on the women ; others of the children are dwarfed and unhealthy. One mother is now a raving maniac ; 120 persons were wounded ; fifty went into St. Bartholomew's, Gray's-inn lane, and King's College Hospitals ; fifteen are perma nently injured, with loss of eyes, legs, arms, &c. ; besides £20,000 worth of damage to person and property. Such was the horrifying and pitiable devastation caused by that one barrel of gunpowder. THE SMALL PARCELS QUESTION. —A deputation, consisting of gentlemen from the chief centres of com merce, was received by the President of the Board of Trade, on Tuesday, on the subject of the 15th clause of the Regulation of Railways Bill. The deputation included the following members of Parliament : -Sir F. Crossley, Lord F. Cavendish, Lord Ainherley, Mr. R. W. Crawford, Mr..G. Goschen, Mr. T. B. Headlam, Mr. M. T. Bass, Mr. M. A. Bass, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Cowen, Mr. Dixon, Mr. G. Melly, Mr. Alderman L awrence, Mr. Baxley, Mr. Hen derson, Mr. W. E. Forster, Mr. Beaumont, Mr. A. Smith, Mr. B. A. Leatham, Mr. J. Cheetham, and Mr. Dalglish. Mr. James Hughes, of the firm of Messrs. Copestake, Moore, and Co., stated the facts and opinions of the Lou. don committee, to the effect that the insertion of Clause 15 would interfere most seriously with the facilities hitherto enjoyed by the public and by trades through. out the whole country. Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., stated that the view of the clause taken by the public was that put upon it by the railway companies themselves ; and various speakers representing thirty chambers of corn. merce expressed their decided and unanimous opinion that the clause should be entirely expunged, and that, in been fact, the railways had at present all the powers necessary for their own protection. The Duke of Richmond ob. enclosure Li r a thato f small parcels, but that t v i e t a h a ai s i , n served that the clause was not intended to prevent the g be bee . . upon it, ake And Duchess of e rots company a t St a ff ord House ontquesdil evStin ti g, to meet Dr. G u th r i e, of Scotland, and Dr. Revel, of Florence, lo consider the subject of the missions of the Walden fiian Church. The Bishop of London had been invited, but was unable to be present, but a letter was read from him, expressing the great interest which he felt in the Church of the Vaudois. The company was also disap pointed of the presence of Dr. Revel, who had unfor tunately been compelled to return to his duties in the Waldensian Theological College, at Florence. It fell, there fore, to Dr. Guthrie alone to explain the object in view, atcl though Dr. Revel might have furnished some into reing information, nothing could have been added to the peztuasiveness of Dr. Guthrie's ,eloquent address. The object was to obtain support for the efforts of the Walden sian clergy to spread the knowledge of the Scriptures and the primitive faith throughout Italy. Dr. Guthrie com menced by saying that the country for which he asked this spiritual benefit had conferred on us some of the greatest Loons of civilisation. We are indebted to the genius of Galileo for the telescope, to Torricelli • for the barometer, to Galvani for • the electric telegraph, and to Columbus fur the New World. With a pleasant apology to the better informed part of his audience, he gave a slight sketch of the Vaudois Church. Its origin is probably as early as the second or third century ; and ever since that time the Waldenses have maintained a pure Scriptural faith and a primitive discipline. They have endtired, trials more prolonged and more severe than have been seffered by any other Church in:Christendom. Centuries of persecution by their own Dukes of Savoy, at the instigation of the Popes, neither shook their faith nor destroyed their loyalty to the reigning House. When persecution ceased, they were still subjected to the most vexatious civil disqualifications, from which they have only lately been relieved. At last, however, they share in . the general freedom of Italy, and as the Piedmootese have conquered the peninsula by the sword, so the Vaudois, have iauied from their valleys in the hope of bringing the" hearts of their countrymen into obedience to their own iinple faith. Twenty-90 ministers and other agents are already dispersed over Italy from Palermo to Courmayeur ; their theological college has been removed from La Tour in the valleys to FlOrence, with the view of affording the students a more effectual education ; and the old Palace of Cardinal Sal viati, where the students are lodged, contains also the eh-tut:jail Press, from which issue bibles, tracts, and religious books by tens of thousands, which are dispersed by colporteurs and book depots throughout. Italy. The preachers have, of course, to encounter the fierce opposition of the priests, but the civil power affords them an impartial protection. The Vaudois, however, are but 22,000 in number, and are very poor, their • ministers being content with £5O a year, and they cannot prosecute the work on which they have entered without foreign support. Dr. Guthrie showed the great advantages possessed by the Waldensian ministers in meeting this antagonism as compared with foreign Protestant agents. When the priest can denounce a preacher as a foreigner or as a Protestant, his chance of a hearing is gone. Even Gavazzi, in addressing his country men, proclaims that he is not a ProteStant. But the Vaudois are Italians, and they can truly say they are not " Protestants, for their Church existed before Popery itself. They are the oldest representatives in Italy of primitive Christianity. Dr. Guthrie urged in conclusion that in sowing the seed of God's word among the Italians lay the only hope of really regenerating the nation. The only true foundations of liberty are pure morality and sound religion, and these. are nowhere to be learnt but from the Bible. - Dr. Cumming then spoke shortly in support of . the same object, and expressed the thanks which were due toDr.' Guthrie and to .the Duke and Duchess of Suther- A FTER THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN—EVANS' TO.
