Peace has her battle-fields as well as war, an this was her Water loo. here she had mustered fifty regiments of her swart veterans, armed with all the weapons of her exhaustless arsenal - with 'Millie picks and Schneider hanoners, and file-edged swords that cut at their sides. Those great mouthed mortars, belching forth globes of lire, were her huge tanzzle-loaders. And all this was the thick of one of her great battles by night - only one of the three hundred a year she fights in that dark valley with the elements. What are all the mines and countermines of war compared with the hundreds her sappers had dug fifty fathoms below the visible surface of this battle scene ? Where or when did war ever dig such deep trenches, or fill them with such battalion; or bring its land and sea forces into action with such united and concen trated power? There were 10,000 pickmen sending up from holes 500 feet deep cartridges for loading the 7eupola cannon that were reddening the night with their 'blaze. Here were the deck or surface brigades standing to their batteries, and making each look like the old picture of Gibraltar. There were the Brade Works at the right centre of the line, discharging a thousand spades, hoes, trowels, and pruning -hooks an .hour. Further down,.. towards Birmingham, there was a well-mounted battery, that poured forth a shower of bolts and nuts ; and Chance's great fortress was all ablaze, with its hot fountains sand ing out acres of glass, to be parceled into pines of every size. To the right of us, to the left and front of us, the whole amphitheatre was in close action, working out for the world the thousand small-arms of peace—cotton hoes for Brazil and harpoons for Behring's Straits, and, for all the countries between, every tool used in honest labour."

Mr. Elihu Burritt, United States Consul at Birmingham, England, has described the appearance of South Stafford shire and East Worcestershire—commonly called the Black Country- as seen from the ruins of Dudley Castle at night. He says—" The theme would well befit Cie laureate of England at the best moments of his inspiration. In figures beyond my prosaic conception, he would describ: a scene which cannot be paralleled on the globa. For an unpoetical man like myself, it is difficult to get hold of similes which would enable th 3 read.ir to picture the scene in his mind. A writer of a military turn of fancy might say that it was the sublimest battle scene ever en acted on earth ; that ton thousand Titans were essaying to breach heaven with a thousand mortars, each charged with a small red-hot hill. It might look like that, not only to General Grant or Sherman, but even to men who never wore a sword. There was an amphitheatre of twenty miles span, ridged to the purple clouds. Planted at artillery intervals on , this encircling, r id ge an d at musket shot spaces in the da-k valley be tween a thousand batteries, mounted with large ordnance, white at the mouth with the fury of their bom bardment, were pouring their cross fires of shot and shell into the cloud works of the lower heavens. Wolverhamp ton, on the extreme left, stood by her black mortars, which shot their red volleys into the night. Ceseloy, and Bil ston, and Wednesbury replied bomb for bomb, and sot the clouds on fire above with their lighted matches. Dudley, 9ldbury, Albion, and sniethwick, on the right, plied their IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The Loin CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at fivo o'clock. EDUCATION BILL: Earl GRANVILLE asked the noble duke opposite whether it was his intention to bring on this bill on Thurs day next. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that he thought that was too early a period. It would be brought on on Thursday week. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. The Earl of LICHFIELD, in moving the second read ing of this bill, said that he would only occupy a short time in Calling their lordships' attention to the conditions of the - bill. He stated that, in addition to the number of societies which were registered, there were many which were Lot, and therefore, when he moved for the returns of those societies, he knew that there were many which did not come under their lordships' notice. If he had moved that there should be a return of all those receiving out door relief, it would be very difficult to furnish, inasmuch as some guardians gave only slight relief, and others a great deal. Consequently, any returns from a board of guardians would not be reliable. He must now, howeve r assert that he believed that the conditions of the Poor-law did not interfere with any of the habits of frugality of those persons who became members of these societies. He could also assert that these societies carried on most extensive operations. In the third clause of the bill the provisions had been purposely misrepresenied, but even those petitions against the bill came from three societies. This clause was that which related to the mem bers of friendly societies insuring the lives of those per sons in the same house with themselves, but he was pre pared to say that this bill did not interfere with the regulations of friendly societies, nor prevent members from insuring the lives of their children far funeral ex penses. He also could assure their lordships that provi sions for the admission of minors were expressly provided for. In other clauses it was expressly set out that mem bers of these societies should be able to insure their chil dren. Other clauses related to the transfer from one society to another. This transfer was in many cases a great hardship. Other conditions provided for those who found themselves exel u led by forfeiture, but provided that they F Ivnild not lose the benefit of their subscriptions until due notice Lad been given them. In his bill facilities were given for redress if there was any difficulty in obtaining that return which the members were entitled to. The c msa ()pence often was that a friendly soci .ty became another class of society, and the member became, without his own consent or knowledge, a memberof the other one Friendly societies did most useful work i atmongst the working classes. There were such socienrs as the Omit Fell ,ws and the Foresters, who numbered between thmn near 100,000 members; and ho would ask how it was, with're gard to the petition against his bill, that these two societies had not joined in condemning it if they disapproved of it? The societies trom which these petitions came were signed by members who bad no management over these societies whatever. He found that the expenditure of these societies exceeded their income, and he thought that there could be no question that the society which had not more than one year's income must be insolvent. These societies had petitioned to be heard against the bill, but what would be the effect of this? It would only show the importance of the bill. With these remarks he should conclude that part of the attack upon it. He concluded with the remark that it was necessary that re turns relating to the expenditure, income, &c., of these burial societies should be made, and that their lordships should carefully look into them. A groat do•i1 of the money of these societies was left in the hands of the col lectors and agents. The bill was read a second time, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMNIONS—LLT EVENING. The SPEAKER took his seat at 4 o'clock. THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. In reply_to_llr. BAGWELL, The Earl of MAYO said there were when the applica, tion was made for the continuance of the suspension of the Act 96 persons in confinemenc. That morning there were only 23, of whom 14 had received offers of liberty if they would leave the country, or give good security for their good behaviour. He believed in a short lima all effects of the operation of the Act would cease. THE REFORM ACT. Mr. SCHREIBER asked the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to his answer of the 18th February upon the same subject, when he would state what recommenda tions he was prepared to make for the enfranchisement of compound householders in parishes not within existing borough boundaries, but which must be wholly or in part added to boroughs, and of whom the Boundary Com missioners report that "they will b 3 precluded from quali fying as voters in the year 1863, unless some special pro vision is made for their protection." Mr. DISRAELI said the matter was not included in the Boundary B 11, because it was proposed that he should bring up a clause when the report was made, and the, reason it was not embodied in the bill was because such a course might be rendered unnecessary. THE MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. Mr. (LADSTONE said he had to move the adjourn ment of the house, in order that an opportunity might be given to the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) of ex plaining the declaraticn he had made in the second edition of his speech which he made when he (Mr. Gladstone) had no opportunity of asking for an explanation. The right hon. gentleman had informed the house that, having had an andience of her Majesty, and explained to her Majesty the position in which the Ministry stood by the result of the vote that had been come to in that house, that if her Majesty preferred to adopt a different course to that suggested, viz., a dissolu tion of Parliament, they were quite ready to place their resignation in her hands. Her Majesty, the right hon. gen tleman informed them, had thought it right not to receive the resignation of the Ministry, but to adopt the suggested dissolution of Parliament as soon as the state of the public business permitted. (Hear, hear.) The statement of the right honourable gentleman, according to ono of the members for the Tower Hamlets, made her Majesty the suggestor, not the acceptor or rejector, of advice, and he felt that that. was altogether a new posi tion to - place the Crown in. The explanation given by the right hon. gentleman opposite was that her Majesty hail given her sanction to a dissolution without reference to either the old or the new constituencies. But a statement had been made in another place by the Duke of Richmond to the effect that the Premier had tendered to her Majesty the resignation of the Ministry on Priday, but her Majesty took time to consider, and on Saturday the right hon. gentleman again raw her Majesty, and then the suggestion of the dissolution was accepted and the resignation of the Ministry refused. The statement of the noble duke did not accord with the communication made by the right hon. gentleman to the House of Com mons:and he wished to know whether the dissolution was to be made and Parliament elected by the old or new con - stitnencies. (Rear, hear.) The term that dissolution was to take place as soon as the state of the public business permitted was a very vague statement. He wished to know whether the Duke of Richmond spoke the feelings of the Government as a whole ? (Hear. hear.) Mr. DISUAELI said he had no wish Last night to __---->" __....,_..... , * °V ---•-) --e.--e--- . .._,_ , e --- 1714SPAPER -, rUilt e ---: 4 +7 ~ 3 - 0t,‘,.. $ . )4, , ii:;,:'•:- O A,— The eighth triennial conference of thilipcietaas Ilan held in the large room of the Cannon -street Hotel. About 000 delegates attended, including several from the prin. cipal Dissenting bodies in England, and about 150 from London and its neighbourhood. Amongst those present were Mr. Barnes, M.P., Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. Duncan 111`Laren, M.P., Sir F. Crossley, M.P., Sir John Gray, M.P., Sir John Bowring, Mr. E. Miall, Mr. Carvell Willia ms ( secretary), &c.. The Rev. J. P. MunsELL (Leicester) presided, and deli vered an address, in which he compared the past and present of the society. Mr. CARVELL WILLIAMS presented the report of the executive committee, which referred to the parliamentary reverses which the committee bad to report of the last triennial conference. An unbroken series of successes could now be reported. The report described at length the steps taken by the society to promote the abolition of the Trish EstaNisliment, from the time of Mr. Miall's metien, in 1850, to the recent triumphant divisions, which affirmed that it ought to cease to exist as an establish ment. Mr. Gladstone's course in relation to the ques tion was warmly eulogised, and the salutary effects of the recent debates anti divisions, both in Ireland and Eng land, were commented on. The discussion of the details of disestablisliment wotdd greatly fin tlier the society's object, and the endeavour to connect the English with the Trish Establishment was hastening the catastrophe it was intended to avert. Mr. WILLIA3I EDWARDS, the treasnrer, then presented a financial statement, from which it appeared that, including the balance in hand at the beginning of the last financial year, the total receipts had been £8,561 2s. 80. The expenditure amounted to £7,489 3s. ld., leaving in the treasurer's hands at this date the sum of £1,074 19s. 7d. Mr. E. S. Ronncsox (Bristol) proposed the first re solution : " That the conference, in receiving and adopt ing the report of the executive committee and the treasurer's account now presented, expresses its devout gratitude to God for the recent unprecedented advance of public sentimet.t; in the direction of the society's aims, and, congratulating the executive committee on the posi tion of increased pecuniary resources and on the satisfac. tory results of their parliamentary labours, it expresses the hope that the society's supporters will avail themselves of the opportunities afforded by the course of public events for pursuing with unrelaxed energy the object for which the society was established." The resolutions was seconded by Rev. J. H. Hinton, supported by Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Sir John Bowring, and Mr. E. Miall, and unanimously adopted. Mr. DUNCAN M`LAREN, M.P., moved the next resolu tion. It was in the following words : " That the con. ference rejoices at the triumphant and repeated majorities by which the House of Commons has resolved that ' it is necessary that the Established Church of Ireland should cease to exist as an establishment, due regard being had to all personal interests and all individual rights of property.' It desires to express warm admiration of the decision and earnestness displayed by Mr. Gladstone in the realisation of so important a result, as well as the hope that the policy which he has initiated will be strenuously supported by all the friends of religious equality, not only at the present time, but when the question is remitted to the country for its decision at the approaching general election." The resolution was seconded by the Rev. C. H. Spur geon, and supported by Sir John Gray, M.P., Mr. Whit- worth, M.P., and Sir F. Crossley, M.P., and unanimously adopted. Mr. H. LEE (Manchester) moved, and the Rev. W. DROCK seconded, a resolution in respect to church rates, and the conference adjourned. In the evening the conference resumed its business, under the presidency of Mr. T. Barnes, M.P. A resolu tion was adopted on the abolition of university tests ; and a paper was read by the Rev. Edward White on " Modern Theories of Church Establishments," with espe. cial reference to the recent paper of Dean Stanley. The conference then adjourned. ought to be taken as authentic—(hear, hear) —and if a different impression prevailed with respect to the state ment made by the noble duka in another place, he thought the logical conclusion was that he (the Duke of Richmond) should be called upon for an explanation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE said the great point had not been answered, viz., was the appeal to be made to the old or new constituencies. (Hoar.) The Government certainly did not possess the confidence of the House of Commons on the subject of the Irish Church. Mr. CARDWELL 'wished to know whether the advice given to her Majesty was direct or contingent, and was any threat to be held over Parliament ? Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the advice given was direct and there was intended to be held out a menace of dis. solution. Mr. AYRTON thought the name of the Queen had been used in a most unconstitutional manner, and ho felt that the house had not had a frank explanation cf what had taken place between the right hon. gentleman and her Majesty. Mr. GRAVES said the business of the country was being sacrificed to make way for a bitter, party warfare. Ile thought rather than help on such a state of things the duty of all was to throw oil on the troubled waters. _ _ Mr. B. OSBORNE said there was one kind of petroleum oil that was not at all calculated to calm the troubled waters, and everything that he had seen only showed him that the great thing to be effected was delay. Mr. HORSMAN condemned the conduct of the Pre mier, and he demanded to know whether the right hon. gentleman had the power to dissolve the Parliament at any moment. (Immense cheers.) He felt he had a right to a distinct answer to that question, and would have it. (Loud cheers.) After some remarks from Mr. J. GOLDSMITH and Sir 11. EDWARDES, Mr. WHITBREAD joined in deploring the introduc tion of the Queen's name, and refused to believe, until it was so stated explicitly, that she had armed the Minister with a generalpower to dissolve whenever he pleased. He urged the Premier to state whether this power existed, and for what purposes it was to be used. Mr. LOWE, "for the third and last time," as he said, asked for a plain answer to this—Do the Government adopt the Duke of Richmond's language? Mr. DISRAELI denied that he had been the first to in troduce the Queen's name improperly into the discussion. All his references to her Majesty had been made in the spirit of the constitution and with her Majesty's permis sion. Complaining of the Constant repetition of the ques tion iu a new form as it was answered in another, and de precating these attacks on the Government without notice on the simple authority of newspaper extracts, he stated that his advice to her Majesty was confined entirely to the question of the Irish Church, awl that her permis,ion to dissolve was also exitined to that question. If any other difficulty arose it would h., necessary for him to seek another audience and to take the pleasure of her Majesty. To those who taunted the Government with not dissolv ing at once he pointed out the unprecedented circumstance of the case, and that everybody knew it to be for the pub lic interest that as wide au interpretation as possible should bu givun to the words "as soon as the state of public busi ness will permit." Referring to a remark of Mr. Whit bread, he denied that the course he had indicated for the Government on the second and third Resolutions pledged them not to oppose the bill Mr. Gladstone meant to bring in. The death is announced of Sir Samuel Benjamin Auchumty, of pneumonia, at the age of 81 years. A parliamentary return published chews that the quantity of proof spirits distilled in the United Kingdom and Ireland, during the year ending the 31st December last, was 23,323,613 gallons. The duty paid amounted to £11,382P4 53. 7d. The royal warrant amalgamating the army pur. veying, store, and commissariat branches, and transferring the authoi:,y of the commissary - general-in-chief, the director of stores, and. the purveyor-in-chief, to the con troller-in-chief, has, it is understood, been signed by her Majesty, and awaits promulgation, We hare to announce a serious accident to Baron Sehmidthals, Secretary to the Embassy of the King of Prussia.. The baron sustained a heavy fall and dislocat( d his shoulder. Mr. Manley Sims was shortly in attendance, and at once reduced the dislocation. The baron is pro• grossing favourably. A correspondent in Newtownlimavady writes ; " I am informed that Dr. Watson, who assisted in tracting the bullet from the Duke of Edinburgh, is son of the late Mr. John Watson, Keeboll, near Castlerock, in this county. Mr. John Watson was a martyr to tenant right, and widespread sympathy was entertained for him in consequence."—Northern Whig. Mr. LIDDELL expressed his r, Bret that the Govern ment had not resigned, and appealed to Mr. Gladstone now that he had carried his first Resolution, not to continue what could lead to no practical result this session. ABYSSINIA. —The Government is not yet in pos session of details in reference to the victory achieved by the British forces in Abyssinia on Good Friday. In the absence of any communication by telegraph, the public will not obtain any further intelligence concerning the death of King Theodore and the release of the prisoners until the arrival of the next mail, which is due about Monday next. Mr. Crawford and Mr. Whalley made some remarks, and the discussion was brought to a close by the Speaker de ciding, in answer to an appeal from Mr. Griffith, that though it was technically irregular to refer to debates in the Lords, exceptions wero occasionally allowed, especi ally on Ministerial declarations affecting the position of the louse of Commons. A PLEASANT TRAVELLING COMPANION.—John Carter, a carter, of Bolton-le-Moors, has been charged at Clitheroe with attempting to throw passengers out of the train on Sunday night, while the train was in motion. He had got in at Whalley, drunk, and the passengers were heard to cry out " Murder." The prisoner said he did not intend to hurt anybody in the carriage, but only to kill himself. He was fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days' imprisonment. Lord E. CECIL moved for a Royal Comniissicn to in quire into the present state of military education in this country, and more especially into the training of candi dates for commissions iu the army, and in the constitution, system of education, and discipline of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. Sir J. PAKINGTON readily acceded to the motion, admitting that the present system of military education was defective in many respects, and must be considerably improved if the army was to be made more of a profes sion. BATTENING AT SHEFFIELD.—Strange to.say, one of the still many representatives of " Mary Ann" has been apprehended at Sheffield while in the act of ratten ing three jobbing grinders who are said to be some what behind in their contributions to the union. The name of the rattened is Joseph Bradshaw, who three years ago was sentenced to a term of six months' hard labour for being engaged in a case of rattening. Late on Monday night he was seen to enter the wheel in which the three defaulting members worked by getting through one of the windows, and in this he was assisted by two com panions. While in the wheel a policeman who happened More the motion was formally carried there was a long and desultory conversation, in which Mr. O'Reilly, Col. North, Mr. M. Chambers, Colonel Sykes, Mr. Alderman Lusk, General Herbert, and others took part. Mr. FAWCETT moved a resolution in favour of ex tending the system of competitive examination to India, and sketched a plan by which simultaneous examinations might be hell, not only in London, but in Calcutta, BM bay, and Madras. From this he anticipated a larger em ployment of natives in the Government of India, and he showed also that it would be a great boon to the Anglo- Indians. to be near was communicated with, and on his approach the two men, who were keeping watch outside, ran away. When the police-officer got into the room where Bradshaw was, he found him sitting opposite the fireplace, in which, however, there was no fire, and three wheel-bands, which had been taken off the drums, were found rolled up close by his side, ready for removal. He pretended not to know anything about the bands, and on being brought before the magistrates he pleaded that he got into the wheel while in a state of intoxication. This they refused to believe, and granted the request of the chief constable for a remand. Mr. TREVELYAN opposed the motion, on the ground that it would introduce iuto the service a crowd of natives whose precocity of intellect would enable them to pass these examinations, but who would be entirely deficient in the manly morale of our present Civil Service. As a more judicious moans of admitting the natives to a share in the Government of India, he recommended that those who have proved their superior fitness for situations at present held exclusively by members in the covenanted service should b 3 appointed to them without undergoing competitive examinations, and he moved an amendment to that effect. ATTEMPTED 111URDER.—A shocking occurrence is Colonel SYKES and ➢ir. NEATE spoko in favour of em ploying the natives in larger numbers, and in more im portant posts. reported from Lowestoft, Suffolk, a young man, named Isaac Clarke, a cooper, having attempted to murder a single woman, named Anna Maria Simpson, by cutting her throat. It appears that Clarke had kept company with Simpson for some time, and had seduced her under a promise of marriage. She was recently delivered of a child, for the support of which Clarke had been ordered to pay. The young woman met Clarke by appointment in the High-street at Lowestoft, under a promise that he would give her some money. Ike then persuaded her to pass through a field with him, stating that it presented the shortest cut to her house. Sir S. NORTIICOTE expressed his general concur rence in the substance i.nd aim of the motion, but pointed out several important practical difficulties in the working of a system of simultaneous examination. Though a warm friend to the competitive system, ho doubted whether it would obtain for US a class of natives fit for all the duties and responsibilities of high administrative offices ; and this, he intimated, was the opinion of great Indian authorities, who were extremely anxious to em ploy natives more generally in *the Government of the country. Both at home and in India the Government was extremely anxious to introduca the natives into the highest class of offices, and the principle of Mr. Trevelyau's amendment which was embodied in a clause of the India Government Bill he had just brought in, was a better mode of a selection than a competitive system. Under the circumstances, ho begged Mr. Fawcett to withdraw his motion, which he ultimately consented to do. When in the field be attempted an assault upon her ; she resisted, and he then threw her down and deliberately cut her throat with a sharp pocket-knife. Clarke then re. turned to the Iligh-street, where he met a young man ; named Moore, who, observing that Clarke's hands word bloody, asked him if he had been fighting. Clarke rei plied that he had .murdered a young woman. Moore asked " 'Mitre ?" to which Clarke replied, " In the station-field o and if you conic with me you shall see for yourself." Th ey went a short way together, and Clarke then said, " I dare not go any further." Moore continued in the direction the prisoner had pointed out, and saw a young woman lying in a ditch by the side of the path. He immediately gave information to the police, two medical men were sent for, ln.l a small quantity of brandy having been administered The amendment was also withdrawn. Mr. MILL brought in two bills for the creation of Municip.l Corporations within the metropolis, which, ex cept in a few unimportant particul trs, are identical with those he introduced last year. / They propose that there shall be a municipality for each Parliamentary borough (the Corporation of London being preserved), all grouped I t, round a central municipality, in which the Board of - Works would be merged, and to which the management of the general affairs of the metropolis is to be coin- Poo • r airl she revived sufficiently to state that arke had cut her throat. She was removed to her nether's house, and her deposition was at once taken before Mr. James Peto, one of the local magistrates. Clarke was taken into custody ; his hands were besmeared with blood, and the knife with which he had attempted the fearful deed was found on his person. He was very cool and collected when taken into custody, and has remained so ever since, not expressing any sorrow for his brutal conduct. The gash in his victim's throat was 4Ain. long and llin, deep, and it is extremely doubtful whether she will recover. • milted.
