" into Committee onthe Mr. KEOGH said i n a w f a 's e w days. n nearly u ai readclytl, " Lord i n troduce a clause to prevent the Russell h a d prom i se d to ' aga i ns t the synodical action the Bill being construed of the Roman C hu rch in Ireland , it w as not hi s !Catholic proviso to the end of the clause the paper. which to move the Mr. MONSELL moved the insertion of h oieh he had placed on words to the end of the t h e ins e rtion following that nothing in this Act contained I, 8 -all b, interfere with or in any manner to co nstrued ed always, to restrict th ' free action of th e Roman Catholic ch urch e the United Kingdom in matters of a in spiritual nature." He was su re there was no „ein the House who was not sincerely anxious to avoid tho se angry bickerings which had for so many days past di vided the people of this country and Ireland into two hostile camps. The amendment he proposed would not altogether satisl the views which h e individually entertained on the subject, but he could nut conceive it possible how any Hon. Members. who were really desirous to maintain reli g ious liberty, could oppose it. He knew there were lion. Members opposite whose vote he could not expect on this occasion, but he was unable to conceive any grounds on which the Noble Lord at the head of the tiovernment could consistently refuse to give him his support. It w as evident to every one who had paid any attention to the discussions in the House, that while on the one hand the opponents of the Bill declared in a dis tinct and solemn manner that they had no desire to interfere directly or indirectly with the temporal authority of the Queen, on the other, it was equally clear that those Honourable Members distinctly stated that th e y with the spiritual acti on o f th e Roman Catholic Church. Under those circumstances it seemed possible that the two parties might come to wish h r tte to interfere the who had n o s u s some sort of agreement upon the question w hi c h now divided them. The question was this—who was to decide what is spiritual and what i s no t sp i r i tua l? Now, the proposition which he made would have the effect of leaving the decision of that question entirely and absolutely with the civil courts. If it were carried, it would not be for the Roman Catholics to decide what was spiritual and what was temporal— the decision of that question wou ld f a ll so l e l y w i t hi n the jurisdiction of our civil courts of law. It might be said, perhaps, that great litigation would arise if such a course were adopted, but he bad only to appeal to three great authorities against the truth of that as sertion. Grattan distinctly said, the statement that the Roman Catholic Church in any way interfered with temporal matters was the calumny of a scolding sect.—(Hear.) The Rev. Sidney Smith asserted also, that in all his experi ence h e never k new a s i ngle in stance in which the spiritual power had encroached on the temporal power, though during the time Sidney Smith alluded to there was a Roman Ca tholic hierarchy in Ireland. Lord Plunkett, again, said on the occasion of the Roman Catholic Emancipa tion Bill debate in the House of Lords, that though during the previous thirty years the most acute minds had made the most searching inquiry, they never found a single instance in which the spiritual power of the Pope had interfered with the temporal interests of the people of this realm. He would leave the motion in the, hands of the House, trusting that it would be agreed to in a spirit of conciliation. The SOLICI FOR-GENERAL said that he should be sorry if any expression should fall from the Govern ment indicative of anything else but that conciliating feeling to which the Hon. Gentleman had alluded. The Hon. Gentleman must, however, remember that the question which he had raised was one which had been before the House several times during the long discussion which they had had on the Bill. The Hon. Member had proposed one himself of a similar nature.—(Hear, hear.) The answer then given, which seemed to satisfy the Committee, was tha in reality if any spiritual purpose were pointed out which would be interfered with by this clause, it would be most desirable they should pay attention to the subject, and endeavour to devise a means to pre vent such interference. But no such purpose had been pointed out in the course of the debate either by the Honourable Gentleman himself or any other Honourable Member, except that the Bill would interfere with ordination, and therefore with the sacrament of marriage. Now it had been pointed out, then, that the functions of bishops did not depend upon the titles held by them, but upon their ordination. And in fact since the year 1829 ordination, and marriage, and all other sacra ments, had been going on with as much freedom as pos sible. That being in reality the only suggestion pointed out with any interference which the Bill would effect, he thought it was rather too much to ask the Committee to consent to a clause which would only introduce con fusion and difficulties in explaining the cause. Mr. MONSELL continued to maintain that this Bill would interfere with the action of vicars apostolic, and he ren- faked that the argument of the Solicitor-General did not touch upon the point at all. Mr. SCULLY said the speech of the Solicitor- General applied only to the action of the 10th George IV. This Bill, however, went much further than that act, for it rendered illegal the introduction of every bull from the Court of Rome, and therefore inter fered with the ceremony of ordination. No bishop here after could be ordained in Ireland, and every act done by a bishop would be illegal. Mr. SADLIER was exceedingly sorry that the Go vernment had not acquiesced in the amendment. Those who proposed it were quite ready to make any verbal alterations in it to meet the views of the Minister, but the fact was the Minister was opposed to it in principle, and he would not therofore allow it to pass under eny circumstances. True a similar amendment had once or twice been proposed while the first clause was under discussion, but they were told then that the first clause was purely of a declaratory character, and the time had not then arrived when such an amend ment could be entertained. The Government had often announced that they had no desire to interfere with the spiritual affairs of the Roman Catholic Church; but what they laid down as a precept they were not disposed to put in practice, or they would not hesitate to adopt this amendment. But, said the Hon. and Learned Attorney-General, it would be dangerous to pass this proviso, because the Roman Catholic attributed a different and a larger meaning to the term spiritutual functions than the Protestant, but he must take the liberty of denying that rt , sertion, which he was convinced neither the Honour able and Learned Gentleman, nor any other supporter of the Government, could prove. However, it mattered little to him what determination the Committee ulti mately came to on this subject, as he as well as the majority of his Roman Catholic fellow subjects were determined that the present system of go vernng their Church should undergo no ohange They were determined that no Bill, however stringent its provisions, should force them to return to the system of bishops apostolic. Mr. J. O'CONNELL said, if he remembered rightly, the Speech from the Throne, while it recommended legi slation on this subject, also advised the House not to ie terfere.with the religious liberty of the people. Now if this proviso were not adopted would the House be complying with that request? Certainly not; and as the Bill was calculated to give rise to immense difficulties if passed in its present shape he trusted the Government would re considea its decision. At all events, if they could not adopt tho exact words of the proviso, let them accede to its spirit, and frame some paragraph of their own by which the spiritualities of the Roman Catholic Church would be left untouched. Colonel RAWDUN said the simple object of the pro viso was to protect Roman Catholics against the opera tion of the Bill in matters purely spiritual, and he had failed in hearing anything from the Government show ing that its introduction would impair the efficiency of the Bill. The Attorney-General had said the Bill would not interfere with spiritual matters, and he (Col. Rawdon) thought it was only right the Government should give the Roman Catholics the benefit of a doubt by agreeing to the proviso. He should support the motion of the Hon. Member. Lord J. RUSSELL explained that what he said was that the question involved in the motion had been decided before in the Home. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was perfectly clear that the in troduction of the words to the end of the clause would lead to great disputes and litigation, and would in fact take away from Parliament the right to decide what was spiritual and what was temporal, and leave that right so to decide to the courts of law. It was on those grounds that ho opposed the motion. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the proviso ... ... ... 42 Agsinst it ... ... 160 Plajority against ... •.• —llB Colonel SIBTHORP m+.ved the addition of the fol lowing words:—" And shall further be imprisoned until the said sum of five hundred pounds shall have been paid; and after the payment of the aforesaid sum of 5004 shall he banished from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and IrelaLd during the period of his natural life." He did not know Cardinal Wiseman, but he certainly was a dangerous mau, and it would be all the better if they got rid of him, for one black sheep was quite suffi cient to spoil the flock. Not having any hope, how ever, of passing the clause, he should not press it to a division. Mr. MOORE said he certainly thought that if the crime of Cardinal Wiseman really was of that magni tude which the Noble Lord, in his opening speech at the commencsuaeot of tqe session, had described, the penalty suggested by the Hon. and Gallant Member was certainly more reasonable than that provided by the Noble Lord himself, and of the two, if he had to choose between the two, he certainly should clavicle with the Hon. and Gal lant Member. The amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. REYNOLDS said that he wished to take a last op- portunity of declaring that this clause was a repeal of the best portion of the Catholic Emancipation Act, and would be remembered against the Whig Government to the end oF their lives. The whole effect of the discussion on the Bill on the Irish people had been to induce them to withdraw all their confidence from this House. (LEFT SITTING.) HOLLAND. The First Chamber of the States-General of Hol land came on the 16th to an important decision. It rejected by a majority of 19 to 14 the Bill adopted by the Second Chamber, having for object to allow, as an indemnity, a pension of 2,000 florins a year to the old members of the First Chamber, dissolved ac cording to the terms of the second additional article of the Constitution, and who had been named for life. EGYPT: The Courrier de Marseille affirms that the execu tion of the railway between Alexandria and Cairo is postponed. The Pacha of EGYPT is said by some not to have sufficient money to bear the expense of the execution, which was to be confided to Mr. STEPHENSON ; but the above journal declares that the delay has originated in protests sent in against the undertaking by the Porte, Russia, France, and some other powers. TURKEY. The Marquis DE VALBTTE, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the Sublime Porte, arrived in the Turkish capital on the sth inst., with his lady and the attaches of his legation, by the Pluton stebm-frigate. lie was re ceived at the lauding place with all the honours due to his rank.

The Giornale di Roma, of ,the I Ith, publishes a decree, issued by Cardinal AZITONELLI, directing that money still current, t►mou~tang in all to the paPer" It will be obvious that the importance of examining this cairn is enhanced by the fact that none was disco vered on Cape Riley, and thus it can hardly be over estimated. There is no doubt that it lies in Jones's Sound, long believed to lead directly into the sea north of the Parry Islands. by many deemed to be the Polar basin. And from the circumstance that an open sea was beheld to the westward, we have every right to the assumption that the point in question lies at the entrance of Jones's Sound into Wellington Channel, or rather, perhaps, we should say, at the junction of both with the Polar basin. The very existence of a cairn in this part is proof that beneath it lies intelligence of Sir John Franklin's expe dition, and its precise locality gives it an importance which may prove of inappreciable value. Let us, therefore, hope that the most effectual means will, without delay, be taken to secure to the searching squadron the belie fit of the information to be obtained trona this spot. A powerful steamer would effect the whole in four months, and in urging this we do but ad vocate a measure lately resolved upon by the Admiralty, though unhappily abandoned, as we are led to believe from private and adverse influences. It is a matter of fact that Jones's Sound opens later than Lancaster Sound. Captain Penny found its entrance barred by heavy bergs in the middle of August, last year; while in the previous season (1849), Captain Greville, in the Abram, perceived no obstruction in the month of September. One of our large steamers could with ease be dispatched before the beginning of August, which would give ample time for her pass - age. After the ex amination of the cairn, a communieation with the search ing squadron might be quickly effected, and her return at the end of the open season secured. We feel that the universal sympathy experienced in the fate of Sir John Franklin's gallant party will not be satisfied that a known deposit of information concerning them should be left unexamined, and that the friends of the missing party have a right to demand an immediate investigation of these most promising and important cir cumstances. [We believe that Mr. Kennedy received conditional instructions to look into Jones's Sound, if he could do so without much delay to his voyage, but there is little hope that the Prince Albert will be able to accomplish this, as she will probably reach that spot before the ice opens, and will not of course wait. On every ac count, then, it is to be hoped that a Government steamer will be sent up to examine the cairn, and also to communicate with Captain Austin's squadron. In mak ing mention of the Prince Albert, we would call the at tention of our readers to the subscription list published in our journal yesterday, and earnestly entreat them to subscribe to the renewed branch expedition which has left our shores, and to save us from the stigma which must attach to us in the eyes of all Europe, if we allow Lady Franklin to bear the expense.] NEW CITY PRISON, HOLLOWAY. This new building is constructed upon the radiating principle, having four wings diverging from cne centre, with two other wings in front of the former—one of these wings is for juvenile offenders with schoolrooms at tached ; the other for females with work-rooms and laundry. The other four radiating wings constitute the male adult prison. These have large work-rooms at tached, and an apparatus for lifting water. The wings are 12 cells in length, or about 100 feet, and 3 stories high. The corridors are 16 feet wide, and are open up to the arched ceiling, with galleries leading to the upper ce ll s . The cells are 13 feet by 7 feet, fitted up with water-closets, wash-hand basin, cupboard, table, stool, &c.: these are warmed by means of hot water pipes laid under the corridor floor, the air passing over them and through the flues, provided in the thickness of the wall, and entering the cell over the door. The ventilation is to be effected by means of a shaft of 146 feet high, of large dimensions. The chapel is a spacious room 76 feet by 40, and 48 feet to the ridge of the roof, with two deep recesses for the females and juveniles, and will con tain sittings for 380 prisoners. The kitchen is of ample dimensions, and being close to the base of the ventilating shaft, the steam and smell from the victuals will be readily carried off. The well-house is to be fitted with ono of Mr. Bessemer's disc pumps, and to be worked like a capstan, in a building 30 feet diameter. The whole ex tent of frontage next the Camden-road is of Kentish rag with Caen atone dressings. The style is castellated Go thic. The sides of the chapel building and the back wings are of brick: the windows to the cells have Park spring stone sills, with splayed brick reveals. The whole of the parapets are coped with Caen stone. The building bas been erected from the design and under the able s uperintendence of Mr. Bunning, the City ar chitect. Mr. Jay is the contractor employed; Mr. Lawrie the clerk of works. The original estimate for the build ing was 92:2934; but the committee considered that sum too large, and orders were given to cut it down. The pruning. knife was applied, and it was reduced to the extent of 14 635/. It is expected that the prison will bo ready for occupation in the early part of next year.— Builder. DE. ANATOMICAL MUSEUM.—Among the many attractive exhibitions with which London now abounds, we know of none more worthy of a visit than the beautiful Anatomical Museum of Dr. Kahn. On the occa sion when we visited the Museum, a few evenings ago, we were much pleased to find the rooms thronged with visitors, all intently listening to the interesting explanation of the structure and functions of the human body given by the English medical gentleman attached to the museum.=We, among the rest, must compliment the talented lecturer for the very lucid and able manner in which he treated the subject ; it was highly instructive throughout, and the nume rous audience appeared greatly pleased with their visit to this attractive museum. TORBAY, JUNE 19.—Wind N.W.—Sld. Courser, Leg. horn; Wanskapen, Alexandria IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 19. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS. Lord NAAS asked the President of the Board of Trade the following question :—That as several of the late accidents to travellers and workmen have been manifestly caused by neglect and carelessness, whether it is the intention of the Government to propose any measure during the present session for the more effi cient protection of persons travelling by . steam-vessels or railroads, or of those employed in working steam ma chinery? Mr. LABOUCHERE said the law with regard to steam-vessels was in a very bad state, and he had intro duced a Bill on the subject, which had already been read a sec on d t i me, and ho trusted it would receive the sanction of the House this session. In regard to steam machinery a n d ra i lroads, h e did no t i nten d to bring in a Bill this session to give the Government greater powers of supervision than they possessed at present, and he did not think it would be possible to prepare a measure of general application for the better prevention of acci dents, without t a ki ng away some p ort i on o f th e respon sibility at present resting on the directors. Sir D. NORREYS asked, after the reception of Cap tain Laffan's report in reference to the Sutton tunnel accident, whether Government could not fonnd some measure that would stop such carelessness as had been evinced in the case in question? Mr. LABOUCHERE said the case had been fully in vestigated and a verdict returned, and therefore he did not see that G overnment were called upon or authorized t9interfere further. He considered that the investiga tions into such cases under the superintendence of a Go vernment officer did very great good, and tended to make directors and officials of railway companies more vigi lant in the exercise of their duties. Mr. RIGGINGS rose t o as k th e Fi rs t L or d of the Admiralty if it i s the case t h at h er Majesty ' s steamer Avon latel y visited the Island of Innisturk, in the county of . Mayo, and if so, the nat ure an d part i culars of the service on which she was engage d on that occa sion? Sir F. BARING said, in consequence of a requisition from the Government of Ireland for aid to the civil power, a steamer had been sent to that part of the coast to perform the service required; but no report had yet been made of what had been done, and therefore ho had no information to give to the llon. Member. UNIVERSITY TESTS AND STATUTES. Mr. HEYWOOD rose to move " That this House will resolve Wall' into a Committee to consider the reli gious tests orignally imposed either by the authority of the Crown or by Act of Parliament, as a qualification for any civil corporate privilege in the Universities and Colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin." It was 3,710,000 scudi (22,200,0001.), shall he replaced by a new sort of paper-money, called Carta di Surroga. zione. Tbey are to have forced currency, and to be divided into six series, the first five of which shall be of 600,000 scudi (3,600,0001.) each, and the last shall contain the remainder of the whole sum. The new bills are to be of 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 scudi, and one scudo, and to be detached from borders. THE FURTHER TRACES OF SIR J OIIN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. (From the Aberdeen Journal of June 18.) We have lately received most unexpected and distinct confirmation of a report, which was current in 1848, upon the return of the Prince of Wales whaler, that when that vessel was in a sound, leading west out of Baffin's Bay, which was entered in a fog under the be lief that it was Lancaster Sound, a cairn of stones had been discovered at a very considerable distance from the entrance. This account, which did not in 1848 receive the atten tion and investigation which it deserved, has now been verified the spontaneous t est i mony of one of the Ork n ,named William Mill ar, engaged to go out in the Prince by n e Albert. His statement, which, if required, he would have confirmed upon oath, was made to Lady Franklin, Mr. Kennedy, the commander of the expedi tion, and M. Bellot, was formally attested by himself, and is in substance as follows._ " That, early in September, 1848, the Prince of Wales entered a sound in Ba ffi n's Bay in very thick weather, the captain believing it to be Lan caster Sound. They proceeded slowly westward during some day's, when the fog lifted, and showed them high land on the larboa r d s i de over the mast-head. The captain, being doubtful if it were the loom of icebergs or of land, sent off a boat, which after a few m i nu te s ' pulling reached the south shore, where they landed, and above high water mark observed shoe prints in the mud, close by a sm a ll cooking-place blackened by fire, and a little further on a we ll-b u il t cairn, four or five feet high. This they b a d b egun to pull down, when they were required to desist and return to the ship im mediately, as she was in a very dangerous position, the current driving her in shore. William Millar states that at this point the channel widened and seemed to enter an open sea, with islands. From the length of time oc cupied in getting out into Baffin's Bay, it appears that the vessel must have gone up about 100 or 156 miles, and the captain was well aware that he had not been in Lan caster Sound, a belief which was confirmed on passing the entrance to that Sound, as they proceeded south ward." very well known that the universities of Cambridge and Oxford were arcient institutions, and that the date of their rules went beck at least 700 years from the present period. Under th e aut h or i ty of the Crown the Univer sities had obtained an independent position. The Hon. Member here went on to detail the early history of these Universities, but at such a rapid rate, and amidst so much noise, as to render it impossible to connect or col lect the substance of the Hon. Member's statements. In former times the study of divinity was insisted upon, but owing to altered times and changes that study was not now so important. The oath even now taken was that all parties were to swear that they would make theology the end of their studies. Now, it was very well known that many who took that oath did not intend to follow theology at all, for they gave their attention to the law, and some of those educated at the Universities became distinguished law lords. This, then, was one reason why he wished to see the theological test abolished. Besides, all students were required to sign the Thirty-nine Articles, and these Thirty-nine Articles it was well known were very abstruse, and required some of the wisest persons to explain them. He thought likewise that the wearing of surplices ought not to be made compulsory. He also objected to the imposition of fines. The rules and regu lations of ancient times were not in harmony with the intelligence of the 19th century. He did not approve of Tractarian views such as were entertained at Oxford, but then he considered they were the natural results of the existence of the old system. He would refer to the University of Dublin, which formerly was distinguished ter its anti-Catholic feeling. But since Roman Catholics had been admitted into the College the best feelings had sprung up between Roman Catholic and Protestant stu dents, even though the old objectionable laws existed. He thought the authorities of Trinity College, Dublin, ought to make some concessions in tavour of the people of Ireland. One objectionable rule was the requiring students to take th e sacrament before being admitted to the emoluments of the College. Some change ought to be made in the law which directed that no other service than that of the Church of England should be celebrated in the Universities. It was very hard that students of the Jewish persuasion should be cal!ed on to attend such service. He looked forward to the time when the university tests would be greatly modified, and when en alteration would be made in the three articles of the 36th Canon, which a resolu tion of the House of Commons, in 1640, declared to be against the law of the land and the liberty of the sub ject. By the University Statutes of Oxford tutors were ordained to instruct the students in the Thirty-nine Ar ticles, which, along with the reading of the Greek Tes tament, were called the rudiments of religion. He did not deny that the rudiments might be derived from the reading of the Greek T estament; b ut h e d i d not consider the Thirty-nine Articles to be the rudiments of religion, bet rather the result at which scholastic theology had arrived. He looked upon the tests ho had referred to as the product of an age not equal to the present either in intelligence or religious liberty. It would be a great benefit to the Church of England if they were removed, for they kept the clergy almost in swaddling clothes, by prohiting all opinion beyond the bounds of the Arti cles. The removal of them, then, ought to be desired, not merely by Dissenters, but by the Church of Eng land itself. Mr. E WART, in seconding the motion, contended that the Universities should once more be made national institutions. At the time when the whole population were Roman Catholic, they were national establish ments; but they had ceased to be so. Oxford University had been most flourishing when it was most national.. He did not r egar d w i t h any veneration the imposition of the Thirty-nine Articles as a test, and thought that all parties would be benefited by the abolition of that test. The question having been put, and no Hon. Member rising to address the House, Mr. CAMPBELL said as no Hon. Member seemed in clined to address the House at present, he might, per haps, be per m it te d to say a few words on a question of which ho might say he had some practical knowledge. He conceded to the Hon. Member that the difference that existed between the two Universities in exacting subscriptions from an undergraduate, was on the side of Cambridge, which derived no small advantage from its liberality in that respect. He thought also that it might be fair to inquire whether subscrip• tion to the Articles ought to be exacted from bachelors of arts, and whether any test should be imposed until the taking of a final degree of a master of arts? As to the qu stion whether any reform of the Uni versities should be made by the Legislature, he thought that in great emergencies the Legislature might inter pose its authority, but that on other occasions the reform would be better effected by the internal agencies of the Universities themselves. He did not think his Hon. Friend had done justice to the inquiry which was going on, for, although it related to the studies and discipline of the Universities, it would tend indirectly to elucidate the question of religious tests. He thought, therefore, it was not desirable to enter upon the coursb proposed by the Hon. Member until they had further materials before them.—(Divide.) Lord J. RUSSELL said.before the House divided he would state shortly the view ho took of the motion as it stood. His Hon. Friend had moved that the House " will resolve itself into a Committee to consider the religious tests originally imposed, either by the autho rity of the Crown or by Act of Parliament, as a qualifi cation for any civil corporate privilege in the Universi ties and Colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin." It was now a great many years since any question on this subject had been raised in that House. Ile remembered that at one time it occasioned a great deal of business —more particularly when a dis tinguished Member for the University (Lord Mont eagle) presented a petition from the University of Cambridge, praying that further advantages should be given to Dissenters in that University. At that time his late lamented friend, Mr. G. W. Wood, proposed to introduce a Bill by which persons dissenting from the Established Church, wheter Roman Catholics or Protes tant Dissenters, should be at liberty to enter the Uni versities of Oxford and Cambridge to proceed with their studies, and, if otherwise qualified, to take degrees— with the exception of a theological degree—without any religious test. He had supported that Bill. It seemed to him to be founded on a right principle, and to be only giving to Dissenters that which was a proper distinction for those who had acquired the right to it. That Bill was supported at the time by a very able speech from the present Lord Stanley, in which he drew a distinction which was very applicable to a motion like the present. Lord Stanley stated on that occasion (the Noble Lord read the passage), that though he would give to Dis senters the liberty of having full benefits of education at our Universities, with the useful privileges which ac companied a degree, he would sedulously guard those institutions against the Dissenters as a governing body of them. He thought the dis tinction had been well put by Lord Stanley, and that there was a great distinction between admitting Dis senters not only to study at the Universities and to ob tain degrees, and admitting them to become part of the governing body of the Universities, by the holding of fellowships or similar offices. Looking to the number of Dissenters in this country who might, if admitted to the Universities, obtain degrees which would be useful to them in after life, he thought an admission for that purpose might well be made. Did it not seem strange that the author of the " Credibility of the Gospel His tory" (Dr. Lardner) could not receive a degree in the University of Oxford or Cambridge ?—(No, no.) There was a great difference between an admission for degrees and an admis s io n w hi c h would lead to Dissenters be coming members of the governing bodies. If such a concession as the admission to the government of the Universities were made, he could not see how the dif ferent parties could harmonise and co-operate in carry ing on that system of instruction and that discipline which was so absolutely necessary for the welfare of the Church. Now he was afraid that the motion before them went to that latter point.—(No.) From the word ing of the motion it would app ear to do so. He cer tainly understoodit as going to that extent. To such a Bill as that formerly introduced, and which had been supported by Lord Stanley, he should not refuse his as sent, but he could not agree to the motion now before them. He might add, that whil e h e would support such a Bill as that to which he had referred, he did not think that the present would be a convenient time for intro ducing it.—(Hear.) Mr. HEYWOOD made a remark which was not heard in the gallery. Mr. M. G IBSON could not un d erstand on what principle Dissenters were excluded from the Univer sities. As a .Churchman he (Mr. M. Gib son) always objected to making youths of sixteen years of age give a blind declaration of belief in the Thirty nine Articles. Dr. Paley had sa id that even the tens of thousands of . clergymen of the Established Chureh could not give a sincere concurrence in th e h un d re d s of controverted theological propositions contained in those articles. The system pursued was a calling on the youth of this country to commen ce t h eir university career with a prostitution of their consciences. An HON. MEMBER here moved that the House be counted. There hating been only thirty-eight Members present, the House stood adjourned, at a Quarter to Eight o'clock, until to-morrow (this day.) Mr. DIVETT paired with Mr. CURRIE in favour of the Smithfield Removal Bill.

At elf.ven o'clock A.M. the shops were closed preparatory to commencing the operations of the day. A variety of amusements were brought into requisition, and at three o'clock an excellent collation was served at the George Inn to 250 guests. Colonel Clifford, M.P., presided. Numerous toasts were drunk and responded to, in the course of which the friendly assistance of the Great Western Company in promoting the undertaking was acknowledgel A large quantity of beef, bread, and beer was distributed among the humble partakers of the festivities on the cricket ground. A tea party was given in the evening, and the festivities concluded with a ball, at which 600 persons were present.

The official manager, in reply to questions, stated that the chief object sought in winding up this company was to equalise payments among the contributories, some of whom had paid 300'. in discharge of debts, while others had only paid 501. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. COMMITTAL OF A MILITARY OFFICER FOR FELONY.— Mr. Philip Warmsley, a gentleman extremely well con nected, late au officer in the army, was charged with stealing nine silver-plated spoons, eight dessert ditto, six tea ditto, and a number of forks, from the residence ot Mr. Joseph Samuel Levies, a medical gentleman residing at 10, Eceleston-terrace South, Belgrave-read. Upon the prisoner being placed in the dock, Mr. Levies said he had known the prisoner for twenty years, and his family still longer, and he had no desire to press the present charge. Mr. BURRELL inquired in what condition of life the prisoner, who is a Lerson of moat gentlemanly exterior, moved? Mr. Levies and the accused's brother stated that he had been an officer in the Indian army. Mr. BURRELL observed that it was a very grave charge against a person of the accused's condition in life, and he must hear the case. Mr. Levies stated that he received a visit from the prisoner on Monday last, who after remaining about half an hour left the house with him, but returned in half an hour afterwards, as he learned from one of his servants. On the following morning he missed the plated articles, value 10/., from a partition in the side board of the dining room. Mary Allen, cook in the service of Mr. Levies, proved that the prisoner returned as described, and in quired whether Mr. Levies was at home? Upon being answered in th• negative, he told her that he had gone out with Mr. Lavies, and upon his expressing a wish to write a note to that gentleman, she showed him into the library, adjsining the dining-room, where she lett him. He remained about five minutes, when he hastily left. William Major, assistant to Mr. Stephen, sworn broker, in Wardour-street, Soho, produced the plate, and proved that the prisoner had pledged it on Monday afternoon, for 255. He at first asked 51. upon the arti cles, and upon observing that witness was looking at a crest upon them, said, " It's all right; it is my own crest." When the Si. was asked fir, witness inquired whether he thought they were silver; and prisoner seemed to hesitate, as though he did not know whether they were silver or plated goods. Mr. John Lund, superintendent of the detective po lice, proved thee, application having been made at the Police-office, Scotland-yard, by Mr. Lavies, he proceeded to the prisoner's residence, 24, Beaumont-street. The circumstance of the loss of the plate having been men tioned by Mr. Lavies in witness's presence, the accused denied all knowledge of it. Witness told the prisoner that he knew the articles were pledged, tied he had better give him up the duplicates or he should search the house more minutely than he had done. Witness searched ac cused, but found nothing relating to the property, when prisoner said he had got it on his person and would give it to him. Witness then proceeded to unfasten a por tion of the accused's clothing, when the duplicate, which he stated he had placed under his neckerchief, fell to the ground. In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, the officer stated that he had not accompanied Mr. Lavies to give advice as a private individual at the instigation of a gentleman with whom Mr. Lavies was on terms of intimacy, but in his public capacity of a police-officer. Mr. Lewis recalled Mr. Lavies, and put several ques tion to him to show that he had no desire whatever to prosecute the prisoner, who had borne an irreproachable character. That a long conversation took place between them, in the course of which he urged the prisoner that if he had taken them for a joke or sport he had better own it; but denied that he had ever said " there should be no prosecution.' He had been cautioned not to be in duced, from any feeling of a personal or private nature, to give such promise. After souse further questions of a hypothetical cha racter, Mr. Lewis urged the discharge ot his client from the circumstances of Mr. Lavies being most desirous to withdraw the charge, and an inducement having been held out to the accused, who bad himself admitted the possession of the duplicate after a long conversation be tween them. Mr. BURRELL considered the case too serious to admit of a withdrawal of the prosecution. A person in a hum ble position of life might through distress commit a petty theft, but looking at the circumstance of the prisoner's holding a very respectable position in society, he felt it his duty to send the case for trial. The prisoner was committed accordingly, but ordered to be again brought up on Wednesday, with a view of ascertaining if any further charge would be preferred against him concerning a cheque for 251. found upon him, which it was declared by the officer was a false one. SOUTH WA RK. Yesterday David APlntyre, a respectably-dressed young man, described to belong to the prize-ring, was placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with another man (not in custody) with stealing from the per son of Mr. Hugh Hill, 1351. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns, a gold watch and chain, and a diamond pin. The complainant stated that ho is a coach-maker, and resides in the Kent-road. That on the night of the 27th of December last he alighted from a Camberwell omnibus at St. George's Church, in the Borough, and went to the Griffin public- house, in White -street, to see a man named Hoy les. He walked into the bar-parlour, and saw the pri soner there, in company with a man nick-named " Long Tom," and he called for twopenny worth of gin and cold water. While ho was drinking it the prisoner, who forced his conversation on him, began to talk about horses, and he and Long Tom came and sat close to him. At that time he (complainant) had a bag in his left-hand trousers pucket, containing 1351., and consist ing of a 501. note, three 101., and several 5/. notes, the exact numbers of which he could not remember, besides about 30/. in sovereigns aad some loose silver; he also had a geld watch and chain in his waistcoat pocket, and a diamond pin in his neckerchief. Atter a little time the prisoner, who still continued by his side, asked him for the loan of a sovereign, which be refused, and afterwards he wanted to borrow half a sovereign, which was also refused; and complainant then replenished his glass by calling for a second twopennyworth of gin and cold water, and when he finished it ho became so stupifiod that he was convinced something of a deleterious nature must have been put in the glass, and he rose from his seat, saying he should quit and go home in a cab. He then walked towards the door, when the prisoner arid Long Tom came up to him, one on each aide, an d t h e latter snatched the diamond pin out of his handkerchief. He (complainant) desired him to return the pin, know ing be had taken it, but he refused, and they then pushed him down; and while he was lying with his face down wards they robbed him of his bag of money, and also his gold watch. In reply to Mr. ATECKETT, the complainant said he felt a hand in the pocket from which the money was taken while on the ground. That previously to entering the Griffin he had been at the Red Cap, at Camberwell, transacting some business with a Mr. Jones, and that before leaving the house for town, he counted his money and found that it consisted of 135/. That he was not in the slightest degree affected with liquor on leaving the company of Mr. Jones, and that fourpennyworth of gin and water, which was all he had taken at the Griffin afterwards, could not have produced the effect upon him that it had, unless something of a narcotic or stupifying quality was mixed with the liquor in the glass. The complainant, in his direct evidence, said that al though suffering from the effects of what he had taken, he managed to get up; and going into the street, got into a cab. While in the vehicle, and recovering in nsome measure from the stupo r , h e th en as c e rtained the extent . of the cab to return to the Griffin, and help of his loss; and when he got home he desired v t e h t e h d o ri t v w e o r gi him into men into custody that he largetls e f a s money, reply, said be saw eb a rt s aedi the niend e case. prisoner and Long the two men (meaning the and chain. That the cabman, in ab.t,bailealei since such pin W do he thought ,Ch a t into the and the. they had besides s raowb b h e i d s g lioilald . owf a a Tom) assist complainant, The were complainant as added they , that told h i h m h e Bank some months after . • hat on the number of the 50/. note, to his having wh th ic e h rob d be b ry eell morning subsequent . gave information to Inspector Berry, and he described he of the M and Ball, the policeman division, together with a description of his assailants, both of whom were pre viously known to them. Policeman Ball, 118 M, stated that on the previous night he took the prisoner into custody at the White Lion in Drury-lane, and upon that occ • occasion told him it was for robbing the complainant of a large sum of money, besides a gold watch and diamond pin. The prisoner said that he was innocent of the charge, and that he was perfectly vrillin to go to the station-house. Mr. ATECHETT Is the g re any further evidence? The policeman replied that at present there was not, the ap prehension of the pri • soner only having taken place the preceding evening. Mr. Roberts contended that • much reliance could not be placed on the eviden ce was ad mitted that he slupified at th e time of the alleged robbery, and ascribed it ' h • to eying been produced by some deleterious mixture in his gin and water. It was more probable that it was produced from an excessive indul gence in liquor. John Hoyles was then called, and he stated that he was a pugilist, and was at the Griffin on the night in question, and was treated to two glasses of sherry by the complainant, whom he said was intoxicated. To sup port the assertion, the v;itness said the complainant ex hibited his jewellery to the company in the bar parlour, and first made him a present of a gold ring, but after wards took it from him. Witness NW the prisoner and Long Tom in the bar parlour, but did not see them at' tempt to rob the complaivant, hut he admitted :bat he went away before the complainant lett the house. Mr. A'BECKETT said toe complainant had positively sworn he had the money and articles of jewellery in his possession when he entered the house, where ho alleges he was robbed. That it was true that he might hare been somewhat the worse for liquor, but he swears that he missed his property soon after he left the house, and that when pushed down as he described by the prisoner and the other man, designated Long Tom, he felt a hand in the pocket which contained tho bag of money. There was, however, no direct evidence Low the money was lost, but it was the reverse with reference to the diamond pin, for he states that the article was taken from him by oue of his assailants before he was pushed down, as be describes, and plundered of his other property. Under all the circumstances he should remand the prisoner, with view to give an opportunity of tracing, if possible, by whom the 501. no t e was pa id i nto t h e B an k, an d obtain— ing other evidence against the accused. The prisoner was then remanded until next Thursday, the Magistrate, on the application of his solicitor, having consented to take bail for his appearance, himself 2001., and two securities of 1001. each, and to give 24 hours' notice of bail. THAMES. MORE SKITTLE SHARPERS.— Wm. Johnson, 8 TeSpeet . ' able-looking ycurig man, 21 'cars of age, described as an auctioneer, residing at 15, St. Jude's-street, Old Beth nal-green-road, was chafged with stealing a sovereign from the person of John Mackie, a simple -looking: Scotch seaman, lodging at the Sailors' Borne, Well — street, who gave a very contused account of the transac tior. It appeared that after dinner on Wednesday went to see the Great Exhibiti on , an d on h is wa y home, at about four or five o'clock, h e s t oppe d i n R ose mary-1e", to " price" a chest, when a m an came u p to him sea' claimed acquaintance with him. M ac ki e to ld him be did. not think he had ever seen him in L on d on before, as he' was not long from Scotland. " Oh," sa id the stranger , "I'm a Scotchman too, and belong to Edinburgh; let come and have a drop of beer." " S o ," sa id Mackie , . "we went into the Ki ng of P russ i a , C artwr i g ht -street, Rosemary-lane, and h a d a d ro p o f b eer . A third party came in, and help e d u s to d r i n k th e b eer .

I never seed such play be fore—(Loud laughter) —and whilst I was bothering them fur my money, the prisoner took a sovereign from my' other pocket, at the same rime saying, The more YOU wager the more you'll win.'—(Renewed laughter) The other men ran away, and the prisoner said to me, ' Run. after them, f or G o d, your rife, and your money--- (Roars of laughter) —but I proposed that I should keep. to him and my sovereign. I had a hard job to keep' him, but I did until a constable came." Mr. Pelham, far the defence, cross-examined come plainant at great length- to show that the prisoner vita a mere spectator, 11ut he adhered to his original state merit. Mr. Pelham—What sort of a sovereign was it? gad it a dragon, or what? Mackie--I dinna ken; I bade t• the wit to look—(Laughter)—and I hadn't much time to do so either. Robbins, 159 H, who took the prisoner into custodY* found in his possssiela a -sovereign, half a sovereign, and six single shillings. In answer to Mr. Pslhsm, the complainant said he' believed in the Gospel, knew what the Bible was, diet nature of an oath, and all that ho said was true. Mr. Pelham—My client's statement is this—he unfor tunately went into the skittle-ground to see the P i g , ' and whe n t h e man was robbed he did all he could to as slat him. The complainant's statement was perfectly uncorroborated, and the silver found on the prisoner consisted of shillings. Mr. IN,Gnam—A jury shall decide it. Prisoner—l am in an excellent situation. Mr. Pelham said, the prisoner, who was in the ere" ploy of his father, was a highly respectable young ma n '' and hoped his Worship would take bail for his appearance;': Mr. Bartrum, as 'Repectable livery-stable keeper 0 I Raven-row, Mile-end, and several other respectable per sons, came forward and gave the prisoner an excellent, obaracter. Mr. INGUAM ultimately agreed to take two responsible• persons in 504 each, and the prisoner himself in 1004 THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
