SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably reauirite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discolours- Hon, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—The words " Rowlands' Odonto " are on the Label, and "A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on the Govern ment Stamp affixed on each box.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUIRE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Methylated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and linfruitflil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in - the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and a the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of theitypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues 01 their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of U., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SE LF- P RE SF.RVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing hi detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

Lord BROUGHAM, after alluding to certain returns lately laid before their lordships' house, said he wished to correct a mistake which these returns might lead their lordships to fall into, with regard to the working of his act of 1851, which made parties to a suit capable of being examined as witnesses. The returns at first sight seemed to show that the number of cases of per jury had increased since the passing of that act. The fact, however, was quite the reverse. The bill had been passed into law in the month of November, 1851, and in the ten previous months of that year the number of cases of perjury had actually doubled, and the number since the passing of the act was not greater than, if so great as, the former average. The noble and learned lord concluded by moving for certain returns showing the relative number of convictions in the yetsts 1849, 1850, and 1851.

Lord CAMPBELL said the bill of his noble and learned friend had been of great advantage to the pub lic, and instead of increasing, had greatly decreased the cases of perjury. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from the Governor of Christ's Hospital, against the Charitable Trusts Bill. AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved th© second reading of this bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he rose for the purpose of expressing his concurrence in what had fallen from his noble friend. The petitioners had just mason to complain of the grievance referred to, which was inconsistent with the pledges made by th e l eg i s l a - L ture of this country to the people of India, and with the conditions on which they held that country—those con ditions being that they would respect the laws and re ligion of the people of that country. But although he thus far agreed with the petitioners, he was satisfied that in practice the act complained of had not produced very much injury on this account, that the number of pseudo-converts to Christianity were up to the present time so infinitely small that the cases must be very few in which the act had been called into operation. The strongest proof of that was to be found in the fact that the law of 1832 was entirely unknown to the natives. It would be very difficult to explain the intentions of the Legislature in passing the act of 1832, yet it was for the purpose of extending that act that the act of 1850 was passed, and passed without any of those provisions which in 1845 were deemed necessary for preventing it from working mischief and misery to parties not intended to be benefitted thereby. (Hear, hear.) But he believed the operation of that act had not been considerable. (Hear, hear.) When in Calcutta he had asked the archdeacon, or one of the clergymen of the church, how it was that he did not employ native converts to Christianity in performing certain services ; and he was told that there were not enough of them. Yet in Calcutta it might be supposed that conversions would be most numerous. One day he had a visit from the American missionary, and he asked him, "Do you ever make a convert ?" " Never," he said, " except when we have an office at our disposal." (Laughter.) The Roman Catholic archbishop also ad mitted that there was no extension of his religion amongst the natives, though from some circumstances it might be supposed that the Roman Catholic religion would be more readily embraced. The noble lord who presented the petition had omitted to state that in the act of 1845, as was customary with the Legislature, certain explana tions were given of the practical operation of the several clauses of the act which it was intended to pass. With respect to the security which this act professed to give to converted Hindoos, a long note was appended to the 13th section, pointing out all the possible cases that might arise under it. It might have been supposed, when the Legislature was contemplating the inconveniences of such an enactment, that it would have abstained from any enactment at all. Not only was there given to the court of appeal the power of making what provisions it thought fit, but also of over-ruling and annulling the law itself. In 1850 all these securities had been thrown over, and the act had been passed with all the objections which his noble friend had stated. Let the house observe what immoral motives it suggested to the Hindoos. The mis sionary went to the Hindoo and said, " If you will come over to our faith you shall still continue in possession, not only of all the property you hold, but you shall retain all your ancestral property, and retain it without being subject to any of the conditions by which alone you hold it, under the Hindoo law, and which are inseparable from its possessions." These conditions we might think very wrong, but they were extremely dear to the Hindoo, who was taught from his earliest youth to respect his ancestors, and to perform certain rites which he be lieved to be conducive to their happiness. (Hear, hear.) The missionary went further, and said, " Have you a wife ? Do you wish to live with her or to get rid of her ? This law gives you not only your p r op er ty, b u t your rights. Your conjugal rights among the rest ; and in spite of all her abhorrence of one who has forsaken the faith of his fathers, you may compel her to live with you. But if you do not wish to have a wife, we can equally assist you ; you need only not enforce the rights which the law gives you, and then you get rid of her altogether, and need no longer maintain h er ou t o f y our property." (Hear, hear.) That was not all. In that country it frequently happened that a man had more wives than one; he might have an old wife and a young one ; and under this law he might choose which he would take, and leave the other destitute. He might have a dozen wives ; and the law gave him the power of taking every one of them if he pleased, of importing them all into Christianity ' • and every one o f th em was his wife as much as if he had been married to her in the Christian religion. (Hear.) The state of confusion that might arise out of the application of this law was per fectly monstrous. It applied not only in cases of con version, but in cases where conversion had nothing at all to do with the matter. In cases of gross immorality, where a person lost caste, was expelled from his sect, and forfeited his ancestral property, such a person might under this act get possession of all the property he had before, without any of the conditions on which he had held it. (Hear.) It was not to be wondered that the 'Endow should entertain very great apprehensions when they saw such an act as this passed. They dreaded what was to come after this first indication of the intention of the British Government to interfere with their religion and the laws connected therewith. Up to that time everything had been left exactly as it stood without any intervention on our part ; and they, seeing that we would maintain their laws and religion, had accepted our government and had been faithful sub jects of the British Crown. But if this were regarded as the commencement of an altered system, would the same feelings towards the British Government remain ? This law might have been enforced in Madras or Bengal, but not at Benares. Had any attempt been made there to force a Ilindoo woman into the society of her husband after he had become a convert, there would have been a universal outbreak. That which was essential to the existence of our government in India, and without which it was not safe for three weeks, was a continued respect for the religion of the people and the laws o f p ro p er ty which depended upon that religion. He hoped this sub ject would be taken into most serious consideration by the committee. Lord CAMPBELL approved of the bill, and would l&glaillalsee. it-pass intabliow.- After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT and the Earl of WICKLOW, the bill was read a second time. SHERIFF'S AND COMMISSARY COURT (BER WICKSIIIRE) BILL. On the motion of Lord PANMURE, this bill was read a third time and passed. COUNTY . ELECTION POLL (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord PANMURE explained the objects of the bill, which was to shorten the time for polling at county elections in Scotland to one day. The house then went into committee on this bill, and was After a few words from the Earl of EGLINTON and Lord CAMPBELL, The bill went through committee. COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the order of the day for going into committee on this bill. He said, however subjects of this kind might be beneath the dig nity of certain noble barons, he was far from considering them beneath the dignity of that house, and far from admitting that the object of such legislation was petty and miserable. He had received the strongest testi mony of the beneficial operation of the existing act. At the present moment there were not less than 80,000 persons living in registered houses, and the number would shortly be 100,000 ; and many foreigners, Americans and others, who had visited this country, partly perhaps with the view of "spying out the naked ness of the land," were perfectly astonished at what they had witnessed. He had thought it necessary to make these observations in order to defend, not himself, but the measure from the charge of " cant" and " pseudo philanthropy," and to show that it was not liable to such offensive imputations. If their lordships would visit the localities in which these houses were situated, and see how much benefit had been derived from the opera tion of the present law, he was quite sure they would not wish to oppose the slightest impediment to the pass ing of further remedial measures. lord BEAUMONT could assure their lordships that he had no intention to interfere in the slightest degree with the passing of this bill ; and he should not have risen but for the pointed allusion of the noble earl to some observations made by himself in reference not to this but to another bill. (Hear.) Those observations in no way applied to the present case, for, in his judgment, not only was this subject worthy of their lordships' con sideration, but it absolutely called for their interference. Though he might be in favour of such legislation, he could not accept the noble lord's measures without ex amination ; but as his only objection to this bill had been removed, he should make no further opposition. The bill then went through committee. THE CEIIMNEY SWEEPERS REGULATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of CLINCARTY nominated the select com mittee on this bill, The Earl of SIiAFTESBURY had no objection to inquiry, if it embraced the whole length and breadth of the subject. He feared, however, that that was not contemplated. - The Earl of WICKLOW said it would be useless to take evidence which merely tended to show the neces sity for the existing law. - The names of the committee were then agreed to. EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURE BILL, AND LAW OF EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of these bills, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that his noble friend (Lord Brougham) had introduced a measure for the purpose of extending the powers of examining wit nesses, and oontaining other important provisions. In some portions of that measure he entirely concurred, but there were other parts of it which he did not ap prove of, and at his suggestion his noble and learned friend assented to refer the bill to, a committee, by whom it was divided into two bills. Since this division of the bills had taken place, the common law commis sioners had made their second most able report on the subject of the mode of procedure at common law, and that report extended to the whole matter contained in these two bills. There was a measure now preparing for the purpose of giving effect to the greater part of these recommendations, which he hoped to be able to lay on the table in a short time. Under these circumstances, and as it would be highly inconvenient to have two bills on the same subject before the house, he had again to request his noble and learned friend to allow the second of his bills to be again divided. His noble and learned friend could take from that bill the four clauses which had reference to the examination of witnesses, and which would carry into more complete effect the valuable en actment known as Lord Brougham's Law of Evidence Act. Lord BROUGHAM said that he most willingly as sented to the suggestion of his noble and learned friend, for it would be most inconvenient to have two bills running together on the same subject, and the mea sure brought in by Government would not only be bet ter framed and devised, but it would also have a much better chance of being carried than his (Lord Brogham's) bill. - What he proposed, therefore, was, that the first bill should be now read a second time as a matter of form, with an assurance that he would net proceed fur ther with that bill. He would take the four clauses re ferred to by his noble and learned friend, and propose thein - separately, which would complete the act of 1851. The remaining portion of that bill would lie over till he saw the measure which his noble and learned friend was going to introduce, and which he had no doubt would contain the whole of the clauses which he now postponed till the introduction of the Government measure. Mean time what he proposed to do was to move the re-com mittal of the bill to-morrow (this day), and that it be an instruction to the committee 'to divide the bill into two parts. Lord CAMPBELL would not oppose the second reading, but he must protest against it as interfering with trial by jury. Lord BROUGHAM said that the bill did not in the least interfere with anything that was valuable in trial by jury. The bill was then read pro forma a second time. INDIA. Earl GRANVILLE said that, after what had fallen from the noble earl opposite, he felt it necessary to say a few words in explanation on the part of the Govern ment. The statement of the noble lord who presented the petition was mainly correct as to the cause of the legislation on this subject in 1832 and in 1845 ; but he had omitted to state that the principal inconveniences of the law of 1845 were objected to at the time by the Su preme Court. He was quite sure that the principle of the law of 1850 was a just one. (Hear hear.) Reference had been made to the engagements entered into by the Hindoo natives. It was clear that if a Hindoo became a Mohammedan he had a right to be protected in the pro perty he possessed ; and that was incompatible with the Hindoo law, which took away the property of those who changed their religion. (Hear.) This was a difficulty from which they could not escape. The Lords Com missioners had been desired to frame laws applicable to all the natives ; and this could only be carried out in the way that was done by this act. As to this being a perfectly new act, and the beginning of,a new course, such was not the case. Suttees had already been aboli shed. He apprehended that this was not a strict provi sion of the Hindoo law, but merely depended on a Hin doo custom. Another practice was that of abandoning children to chance, which had been strictly prohibited by the law of Lord Wellesley, although equally impera tive by Hindoo custom. (Hear, hear.) Wherever there was a native law entirely inconsistent with natural jus tice, he hoped the Government would refuse to sanction such a law. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with the noble lord in deprecating any forced modes of conversion, or the practice of holding out inducements for the purpose of obtaining converts, but he was surprised to hear the noble lord contend that a convert ought not to be main tained in precisely the same position as he was in before lie changed his religion without suffering any penalty. (Hear, hear.) He trusted their lordships would agree with him in thinking that the general principles of the law were fair to the natives, reasonable in themselves, and consistent with the real justice of the case. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Lord MONTICAGLE, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he hoped the noble earl (Granville) would look into the wording of the act, and see if he could not substitute some words that would be less prejudicial. If the noble earl could so arrange it that the Hindoo converts should be as well off as before their co nversion, and that other parties should be no worse off, lie would meet the wishes of all. (Hear, hear.) Some provision ought to be made for those of the family remaining attached to their old faith, in order that they might be enabled to perform the con ditions devolving upon the whole. (Hear.) The motion for referring the petition to the committee was then agreed to. PRICES OF PROVISIONS, &c., IN INDIA. Lord MONTEAGLi;;;To present a petition from 8,401 Hindoo inhabitants of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, against article 21 of the act of 1850 of the Government of India. The petition was placed in his hand for pre sentation by a meritorious officer of the East India Com pany, and now a member of the House of Commons, and this would warrant their lordships in believing that the petition was perfectly genuine. The petitioners complained of the 21st article of the act of 1850 of the Indian Government, which they declared interfered with their religious usages, contrary to the pledges made by the English Government that they would in no way interfere with the religious_ usages of the Hindu or Mohammedan inhabitants of India. This article had reference to the right of inheritance in the case of con verts to the Christian religion. No one could be more anxious than he was to anticipate the time when the blessings of the Christian religion should be introduced into India. But at the same time those blessings should not be introduced amongst a people by forcible or frau dulent means. The Religio tantum potuit suadere nialorum of the Roman poet did not apply to the essence of re ligion itself, but to the means which were used for putting it in force. Under the ancient Hindu laws the inheritance of land descended to the heir, subject to certain religious trusts and certain observances of a religious character ; and if he lost caste, or quitted his own religion, he became incapable of performing those religious trusts, and, consequently, of holding the estate. It was considered, in 1832, during the admi nistration of Lord W. Bentinck, that the law in this respect required amendment, and a clause was intro duced in the act which then passed, which provided that a Hindoo or Mohammedan who changed his religion should not lose his right to the property to which, with out such change, there was no doubt he would be en titled. That law, however, was never carried int prac tical operation. In 1845, the whole law of India was made the subject of investigation by law commissioners, and they found this singular state of things existing in India, that whereas there was a Mohammedan law for the Mohammedans, and a Hindoo law for the Hindoos, there was no law for the Christian or the Armenian, or' , any other denomination whatsoever. The consequence was that they proposed a remedy, and that remedy was the adoption and extension of Lord W. Bentinck's regu lation, by which the rights of converts were protected ; care being at the same time taken that third parties, The Earl of ALBEMARLE moved for returns show- ing the average price of provisions and the rate of labour, in the different provinces of India, at intervals of 10 years during the last 00 years. [P RICE SD. who were not converts, should not be injured. (Hear, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that the prices hear.) That proposal, however, was nut carried, for of articles of support were infinitely lower now than reasons which it would be improper for him to discuss when the British rule in India commenced.

He hoped that in present ing this petition it would not be supposed that he was indifferent to the spread of Christianity in India, which he was most anxious to see extended over the length and breadth of the land. But he was sure that to have recourse to underhand means for this purpose, would only sully the holiest of causes, and it was not the way either to reach or to deserve success. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord concluded by presenting the petition and moving that it be referred to the Indian committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. MACKINNON took the oaths and his seat for Rye. THIRD READINGS.

EDGERTON gave notice that when the mem bers chosen to serve in the Durham election committee came to the table to be sworn, he should move that the hon. member for Dundee be discharged from it. SAVINGS BANKS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that, on an early day, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to savings banks, and also to establish regulations for making investments in the Government securities through the medium of savings' banks. Mr. MILES wished to ask the Under Secretary for the Colonies, whether in pursuance of a dispatch (No. 169) from Sir C. A. Fitzroy, dated Sydney, the 19th day of October 1842, upon the subject of immigration, any act has been passed by' the colonial legislature to regulate the inducting of assisted immigrants and others in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, and their em- I ployment in the col on y f or a certa i n t i me after their arrival therein. Mr. PEEL said such an act had been recently passed by the Legislative Council of Sydney, but it had not yet been received by the Colonial-office, and he, therefore, could not state the nature of its details. CORK ELECTION. The evidence taken before the Cork election committee was ordered to be printed. THE KAFIR WAR. - - --- Mr. HINDLEY wished to ask the Under Secretary for the Colonies what the conditions upon which San and the other hostile Kafir chiefs have obtained peace, and if the Government was prepared to sanction them. Mr. F. PEEL said, in February last, Gen. Cathcart proposed certain terms of submission to the Kafir chiefs, but he had received no official intelligence of those terms having been accepted, as the mail which would bring the answer had not yet arrived. Mr. HEADL AM wished to know if the noble lord the member for the City of London, would postpone the vote relating to the Kafir war, until the papers upon the subject were before the house, as ho wished to draw attention to them. Lord J. RUSSELL said the papers would be printed before the vote was proposed. FACTORY REPORTS. Mr. COBBETT wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the factory inspec tor's reports for the half year ended on the 25th of April have been laid before him, and when they will be laid on the table of the house. Lord PALMERSTON said the time had not yet ar• rived for the delivery of these reports. CORPORATION PROPERTY. In reply to Mr. HEADLAM, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the Government intended to make a proposal for extending the succession duty to corporate property, and he should state the nature of the proposal when the motion for the second reading of the Succession Bill came on. MAYO ELECTION. Mr. BUTT gave notice that on an early day he should move for a select committee to inquire into the extent of interference practised by the priests at the last election for the county of Mayo. CHURCH RATES. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, it was agreed that the orders of the day should be postponed until after the motion of the hon. member for Tavistock, in reference to church rates, had been disposed of, agree kbly to an understanding on a former evening. Lord J. RUSSELL intimated, in reply to Mr. Disraeli, that the Government would not propose going into committee on the Income Tax Bill after 12 o'clock. Petitions in favour of the abolition of church rates were presented from different parts of the country by Sir W. Clay, Mr. Hatfield, Mr. Phillimore, and other hon. members. Mr. PHILLIMORE then rose to ask for leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the law respecting church rates. After explaining the difference between his bill, and that proposed by Sir W. Clay, he said the object of his own was in entire accordance with the ex pressed opinions of the principal members of the house who took a part in the debate on the church rates in 1851, and that it made certain alterations, which justice and policy alike demanded. He proposed that the church should make a large sacrifice, and it was necessary that hon. members who represented the dis senting interest should appreciate its extent. No pro position of law was more incontrovertible than that every parishioner was at present bound to contribute to the repair of the parish church, and that the rates levied for such a purpose extended to all kinds of property within the parish lands, stock-in-trade, and all goods. Enforcing church rates rested on the assumption, both in law and in fact, that the Church and State were identical. It was now for the house to consider whether the law and the fact remained the same, or whether they had not undergone extensive alterations, which rendered it equit able and just that some relief should be extended to a large portion of the population. There could be no doubt that, at the time of the Reformation and sub sequent times, one religion was professed by the vast majority of the population. (Hear.) Circumstances d had, however, greatly changed. A return recently before the house presented an appalling aspect of the dissent in the kingdom. It appeared from it that the number of Dissenting places of worship registered from 1688 to 1852, includingßoman Catholicchapels, amounted to no less than 54,804. No doubt, considerable deductions were to be made from that number, but it presented a remarkable statistical fact which could not be omitted from consideration in arriving at the conclusion whether or not the present state of the law respecting the payment of church rates by Dissenters was right. It was said Dissenters purchased property under the acknowledged obligation that it would have to bear church rates, but that argument could not apply to houses which they might build upon their estates. It was not to be wondered at that within the memory of many members, there should have grown up a determined opposition to church rates li e hr r ed rc h a contended that the gr i evances of Dissenterserreequei wise and speedy a dj us t ment. Not only w rates in some plac es p rac ti ca ll y abandoned , in order t o avoid any ill bl oo d or b a d spirit, but Dissenters enters were driven to use various devices in order to evade th e payment of c h urc h rates.

THE CITY of LONDON, in a geographical, topographical, commercial, and trading point of view, is superior to any town in the kingdom. As the " seat of fashion," the superlative claims of the City are everywhere asserted and maintained, and hence the familiar phrase :—" If you would have really superior articles, you must go to the City for them." Why (it may be asked) is a constant trading communication kept up with the City, the suburbs and the provinces? Would this be the case if the English capital were simply on a par with other less distinguished localities ? Most assuredly not. L. lIYAM for many years has had the honour of vindicating and establishing the reputation of the City London as the seat of fashion, by a succssive display of seasonable attire not elsewhere to be met with. L. Hyam maintains his high position by invariably selecting from the best markets, and by securing artists of long practice and ability. There is no novelty, no improvement that L. Hyam does not avail himself of. The Proprietor's present collection of (tress surpasses that of any prec.dnig season. Each description of dress displays "City " excellence in material, cut and make—excellence easily distinguish able from any and every other crass of costume. An inspecton of the new summer light overcoats, dress coat., frock coats, trousers and waistcoats, will satisfy parties making the Inspection that the Just repute of the city of London (as above a serted) is well upheld by L. Hymn. who, in addition to superior style and quality in dress, en sures to purchasers the advantage of exceedingly moderate prices. OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that Ike has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurcii-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of bust hens carried on by L.

Another shocking accident has been added to the long list of fatalities which have recently occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The casualty we have now to record, by which two lives were sacri ficed, and niany others placed in imminent jeopardy, happened last night at the Lea-gate Station, on the Preston and Wyre Branch, about three miles from this town. The particulars following were obtained from a passenger, an eye-witness of the accident. A third-class train, consisting of some half-dozen car riages, tolerably well filled with passengers, left Fleetwood at six o'clock, stopping as usual at all the stations, including Lea-gate, the one nearest to Preston. Passengers from Blackpool join this train at Poulton le-Fylde, there being a branch line from one place to the other. It should here be stated that the trains from Fleetwood traverse the rails farthest from the Lea-gate station. A person was about to leave the train at Lea-gate, on that side of the carriage next the station, when one of the officials, seeing his danger (the 6.40 ex press from Preston being then in sight), exclaimed "Don't get out," or "Don't get out on that side." This exclama tion of the officer being imperfectly heard by the passengers in the third-class train, was construed by many into "Get out," the idea that a collision was impending being engen dered in their minds by the whistling of the approaching express. The consequence was that a sudden panic seized the passengers, and a score or more made a simultaneous rush from the carriages —some, in their alarm, clearing the adjacent fence at a bound. Two of them, however, were less fortunate—they alighted between the other e ep i a t n a t d e d they the pair of rail s j us t as t h e express came up, and b e i ng struc k down by the buffers of the engine, the whole train passed ovr them,dea were kul l l i s be terall in y a f cut ra t e o t p ur ie e c d es ad pieces. Both were the brains scattered along the line. One of the deceased was Mr. Win. Holden, cotton spinner, of Chorley, the other was a young woman in service at Preston. Mr. Holden had been to Blackpool, and was returning, ac companied by his son, for the Manchester market to-day. He has left a widow and large family. Mr. Holden was 57 years of age. An inquisition by Mr. Myres, of Preston, was proceeding at Lea-gate when this dispatch was close'. WIC low!

He would now call the attention of the house to the propo sition he was about to submit, and he was anxious to impress on it one point—namely, that if they would examine the evidence taken before the select committee in 1851, they would find that the real objection of the dissenters to the payment of church rates was founded on conscientious scruples. That that was the case was abundantly proved by the evidence. What lie proposed was that all dissenters should be exempted from the payment of church rates by the simple process of stating in writing that they were dissenters from the Church of England, and handing that statement to the church. warden. He thought there could be no harm in re quiring a man to state that he was a dissenter, and be proposed that that statement should be kept by the churchwarden, and a certified copy of it produced in court should be sufficient evidence of exemption. It was said that it would be difficult to define what was dissent. He admitted that it would, probably be a meanshopelessfo r task, definingand it. he felt Buthere t entirely ‘a incompetent .sn, iha rdsitos, u i p i gg : a st dissenter— a there ur c s o e u . ld al be ear no , h m a a ri n s h a i y p i n a g n t d i i at ; no h e d i u fl ' i a c s u l a ty d i i s t s i h so e a d r. e c ) l a r H e d e t p h io e . u p i s o e s i e v d e s f d u i r s t s h e e n r te th r s a , t an t d h e ob i j i e e c r t s e o d u s to a s . h u op suphadport and maintain the Established Church in what was neces sary, and who thereby obtained exemption,—he proposed that they should have no right whatever to any church rights, or privileges, or ceremonies —(hear, hear)—that they should not be able to compel the clergyman to the performance of any religious service—that they should not at one and the same time say that they objected to contribute to a church which was their abomination and aversion, and at the same time insist upon the rites and 1 ceremonies being performed for their benefit whatever which h hei ho ii l objections d m e might b left abandoned.t th e e .

He proposed, therefore, that regard being bad to the due ecclesiastical authority, the dissenter who wished to re lagoirhave th e power of.swithdrawi ng hi e state , ould thereby be restored to the Church, and receiving at the same time all the privileges and blessings enjoyed by the Churchman. He proposed also that dis senters should not have the right of appearing at vestry meetings, or vote on the appropriation of the rates. As regarded the Churchman himself, it had, he was aware, often been urged that theladjud'cation of church rate cases should be transferred to the magistrates at quarter sessions. At present it was well known that there were no less than six suits which might arise from the appeals from the Consistory Court to the Court of Queen's Bench, from that to the Exchequer Chamber, and finally to the House of Lords, all upon a sum perhaps not exceeding ss. 6d. That arrangement was wholly indefensible. The question was, whether an arrangement might not be effected by improving the present court of judicature or transferring it to another court. There was this evil in transferring it to the court of quarter sessions —that the law, as it at present stood, gave different degrees of power to the parishioners, the clergyman, and the bishop. A rate might be made by the clergyman for bread and wine for the Holy Communion, for the washing of sur plices, and other necessary purposes, without the sanc tion of the parishioners. But when anything ornamental or any alterations beyond those of mere necessity or utility were required, the parishioners had a vote in vestry, and might reject the rate proposed. Or, if passed, the ordinary might afterwards revise it, and pre vent the proposed ornaments being put up in the church. It was well known that at present some of these altera tions and ornaments involved questions of doctrine, and the law in this respect being fair and just, he proposed that it should remain as it was, and that the Consistory Court should decide in all cases summarily, and viva voce, upon the question. If these questions were transferred to the magistrates for decision, many questions of an embarrassing character would arise. There was no reason why the Consistory Courts should not be rendered fit to adjudicate upon those ques tions by rendering them more expeditious, and making their decisions final, instead of transferring them to courts, the decisions in which might grievously interfere with the discipline and practice and doctrines of the Church. Such was an outline of the plan he proposed to submit. The evidence of Mr. Baines would lead him to infer that such an arrangement would not be agree able to all classes of Dissenters. One objection that had been urged against his plan was that it would tend to the dissolution of the connection between Church and State. He should certainly witness with great regret any scheme with that object, but curiously enough many of the Dissenters believed that the continuance of the present law would have the effect equally of producing that dissolution. They believed that these continual squabbles and battles were the best vantage ground for carrying out the object of effecting the sep ara ti on o f Church and State. He was well aware that he had ex posed himself to much criticism and censure, and much animadversion from various quarters. No doubt there was something extremely satisfactory to one's self-esteem in deploring and confessing the existence of an evil, carp ing at the remedies proposed, and then sitting down with out suggesting anything feasible. That observation was not applicable to the amendment of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, which he had iu the course of his observations endeavoured to deal with. But there was another class of objectors for whom, although he widely differed, lie entertained the highest respect. These were the gentlemen who saw no evil at all in the existing state of things—who could not conceive that any person friendly to the Church could propose so great a boon to the Dis- Isenters without being a traitor in disguise to the Esta blishment and an enemy to her institutions. To that sort of imputation lie was extremely sensitive, and although in ability he might be exceeded by most, in his desire to serve her interests lie yielded to no one, because he was desirous of seeing her blessings extended through out the country. Because he deprecated the evils that would result from a separation between Church and State—because he was most anxious that she should reign by legitimate spiritual means, and maintain her em. pire over the hearts of the people—it was that he did implore her to consider well that these privileges which had been unquestionably guaranteel to her by law had brought odium upon her institutions, desecrated her doc trines, and had created a furious spirit of party which was opposed to her very existence. He submitted the present measure because he conscientiously believed that it would tend to promote that great blessing of religious peace. He had no other object whatever. He might apply to it the language in which, in their incomparable ritual, they invoked the divine blessing upon the pro ceedings of Parliament, when he said that this was a measure which had foundations whereby truth and jus tice, peace and happiness, religion and piety, might be established in these realms, and, he would fain hope, nay, earnestly pray, for all generations. (Loud cheers.) Sir W. CLAY, in rising to move his amendment, "That this house do resolve itself into a committee, to consider whether church rates should not be abolished, and provi sion made for the charges to which such rates are at pre sent applicable from pew rents, and from the increased value which inquiries instituted by authority of the Crown have shown may be derived, under better management, from church lands and property,"--said he was happy to find he so far had the support of the hon. and learned gen tleman that he admitted the disgraceful state of the law on the subject, which, indeed, had been so exposed by the inquiries of the select committee that it was difficult to convey an idea of its utter absurdity. The law was so un certain that it was doubtful how a good church rate could be made, by whom it was to be made, or in what way it could be enforced. This was remarkably illustrated in the history of the Braintree church rate case, which had com menced in 1836 by the refusal of the vestry to make a rate. Churchwardens had then made it, and the ecclesiastical courts bad been resorted to, who decided the rate to be valid. Next, it came before the Court of Queen's Bench, who decided it to be invalid. Then it went into a court of error, who affirmed that judgment, but intimated that if the churchwardens made the rate with the concurrence of a mini anew .t minority of th evestryewas made thed eciisn that onmigmhatnnbeer,and the different. Accordingly ecclesiastical courts held it to be valid. The Court of Queen's Bench supported this decision, and their judgment was upheld in the Court of Exchequer. (Hear, hear.) An appeal had, however, been carried to the House of Lords, where the case was " ripe for hearing"—(a laugh)—and if, as was even probable, the judgment of the court of law was affirmed, then the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts would be revived, from which an appeal now lay to the Privy Council ; so that after the lapse of 20 years the people of Braintree might know whether the rate made in 1837 was valid. (Hear, and a laugh.) The jurisdiction was at common law in the spiritual courts. The 53d Geo. of the rate arrested the magisterial jurisdiction, o l f ll zu e r . 6 l2 r 7 3 , te h s ad be e l m oN p v o l ‘ w ve . r i e n d a th m e o m un a t gi ; st b r u a t te r s , d to isp s;t to tl g e .aou e fera s.s .nthet es eee validity The e enforcingconsequence that in largo towns where the dissenters were numer was, wbo th h e .t r i e ga tchheurecohllercatteiosnhacinl cases was ted i n ts o v m al e id a Ty. of aagnadin practicallys against those enforcingoffor 51. 12s. 6d. had been enforcednnstslolofefa levying distress was most oppressive.
