At the moment that the four o'clock train to St. Helens was being drawn from the station, by horses, to the mouth of the tunnel, preparatory to it being drawn up the tunnel to Edge Hill, by the stationary engine there, two or three boys incautiously jumped upon the steps of one of the carriages as the train was in motion, the deceased being amongst them. He had scarcely got upon the steps of the carriage, when his foot slipped, and he was swung round, and fell longitudinally between the carriage and the platform of the station, along which he was dragged for some five or six yards during the time the train was in motion, and before it could possibly be stopped. He then fell across the rails under the carriage, in an oblique position, when the wheels passed over his head, one side of his body, and left leg. The poor fellow's head was fearfully crushed, and on the carriage being removed, a shocking spectacle presented itself. The deceased's brains had been forced out, and were lying scattered on the rails, along with a pool of blood, for a distance of some three or four yards. He was, of course, quite dead. The body was imme diately removed to one of the company's rooms, adjacent to the station, where it will remain until to-day, when an inquest will be held. It was stated by several of the porters, as soon as the accident happened, that there is great difficulty in pre venting boys from jumping on to the carriages in this manner when the trains are in motion, and there is reason to believe that the unfortunate deceased lost his life whilst incautiously pursuing this course. The Parliamentary amusements of the past week, though not greatly diversified, have been marked by incidents of considerable importance. One of the most important of those incidents I have already glanced at—that by which ministers endeavoured, in a sort of side-wind way, to effect an endowment of Popish priests, and in defence of which the noble lloms SECRETARY displayed his customary amount of address, with rather less than his usual extent of success. T he profect was rejected by an indignant house, and the proposed grant .was lopped off from the supplies in spite of the plausibilities his lordship advanced in its behalf. This fortunate result was achieved on Mon day evening, after the issue of a new writ had been moved for the borough of Morpeth,-vacated by Sir GEORGE GREY on his acceptance of the Colonial Secretaryship, as a sop to soothe the excitement of his irate kinsman Earl GREY ; and after Mr. DISRAELI had, in his happiest style of quaint sarcasm, asked if there would be any objecti on t o postpone morning sittings in the house till the go vernment was entirely reconstructed —an inquiry, which, from its tone andpeculiar si ificance, exc ited shouts of laughte r .

Tuesday night was a remarkable one in the Ministerial and Parliamentary history of this country. most important events are said or believed to be heralded by striking preliminaries, so the gladiatorial exhibition of Tuesday was heralded by a telling . query from your judi cious and useful, though unassuming, representative._ HORSPALL brought the Knight of Netherby to book, in relation to the blockades, existing or non-existing, of the Russian ports in the Baltic and Black Seas. The answer was distinct only on one point, viz., that no distinction would be made, in the case of such blockades, in favour of any foreign flags. Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a question from another honourable member, intimated his intention of pushing the General County Police Bill through parliament, if permitted (?) during the present session. The ground was then cleared for a parliamentary onslaught, which was led by Mr. H. BERKELEY moving for leave to bring in a bill for legalising vote by ballot. The motion having been seconded by another honourable member, and supported b y a thirti, the right hguQuatic To ac the surpriseacquainted nd indignati on o f every one whobe came t dwith the circum s t ance , th e mag i strates interfered with the usual procession, as will be seen by the foll ow ing circular, which the Rev. Henry H. Higgins addressed, on Saturday, to the clergy of this district:— " Athenaeum, Saturday, June 17th, 1854. " Reverend Sir,—On my application this afternoon for a police-constable to assist me, on T ues d a y nex t, i n t a ki ng t h e children of the choir at St. Peter's to the Cheshire side of the Mersey, I learned, to my surprise and regret, the decision of the mayor and magistrates of Liverpool, that the usual procession of schools, on the anniversary, could not be permitted to take place. The subject was brought un d er cons id er ation by a deputation from the teetotallers, com plaining of the injustice of allowing the church schools to form a procession,. whilst other processions have been pro- hibited. The decision of the mayor and magistrates was not known, nor, I believe, formed, till about one o'clock this afternoon. The time of giving notice being so short, Captain Greig availed himself of my offer to send the requisite information to the clergy of Li v e r p oo l. I wa s induced to make this offer in the hope that the clergy might assemble on Monday, to consider the best mode of carrying out the design of the anniversary, either by arranging for a meeting of the schools in Parliament street fields, which I have ascertained can be used on the occasion, or by any other suitable plan. Some of the clergy will meet on Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Savings'. Bank, Bold-street, for this purpose, when your presence is earnestly requested.—l have the honour to remain, reverend sir, your obedient servant, HENRY H. In accordance with this, Meeting of clergy wit held FATAL ACCIDENT, YESTERDAY.—Between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning, a man named John Lord fell off his cart while loading deals on the side of the Brunswick dock. He was conveyed without delay to the Southern hospital, but on arriving there the surgeon pro nounced that he was dead. He was in the employ of Mr. John Owens, of Grafton-street.

The principal business was the discussion of the knotty question, whether Mr. Jones or Mr. Edwards was the in ventor of the sun burner gas-light, which was first used in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution. No decision was come to ; but according to the general tenour of the evi dence, it appeared that Mr. Edwards was the actual inven tor, though the idea of such an invention being desirable was suggested to him by Mr. Jones. DIORAMA OF THE HOLY LAND.—From an advertise ment it will be seen that this interesting diorama may be seen in the Queer i ls Hall, Bold-street, at reduced rates of ad mission. The subject of the diorama is one of such genera admitted historical interest and natural beauty to warrant the highest encomiums, and the mode ih 1 which it is here treated is in all respects mental THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. at the Savings' Bank, yesterday, the Venerable Arch deacon Brooks in the chair, when a communication from the Mayor of Liverpool to the Rev. J. North was read by the chairman, announcing the decision of the mayor and magistrates of Liverpool, that the usual Precession of Church of England Schools on the anniversary could not be permitted to take place. The meeting was adjourned for an hour, to receive the report of the Venerable Archdeacon Brooks and the Rev. J. North, who left the meeting for the purpose of seeking an interview with the mayor. On their return, it was resolved that, in accordance with the wishes of the municipal authorities, the schools be assembled, as usual, at the Blue Coat Hospital. THE MAGISTRATES OF LIVERPOOL, AND THE SCHOOL PROCESSION. IT is fortunate for the reputation of Liverpool that the inhabitants have no voice in the selection of magistrates, for the decision to which the latter body has come on the interesting question of the annual procession of the School children can hardly find an apologist in any reasonable assembly. It was found that processions and exhibitions of party colours had a tendency to create a breach of the peace, and for this reason the magistrates forbade them taking place in the crowded streets of Liverpool. So far so good—but going farther constitutes the absurdity. Because the Romanists and the Orangemen were forbid to flaunt their colours in each other's faces, the Teetotallers were not allowed to make a display ; and, now, in order to be consistent, the children of the National Schools are to be deprived of their annual show. It is useless to argue the question ; the conduct of the magistrates is so utterly indefensible, that we only mention the fact, and leave them to the verdict of their fellow-townsmen. We search in vain for the shadow of a reason for this extraordinary decision, by which nineteen thousand chil dren, and three times nineteen thousand parents and friends are deprived of an annual treat to which the majo rity look forward with the greatest interest. In the Great Metropolis, nearly a hundred thousand children walk in procession, with flags and banners, through streets longer and more crowded than those of Liverpool are or perhaps ever may be; so that any idea of the procession proving an obstruction is utterly futile, and the circum stance will long be remembered as a reproach to the town. THE CHIMES OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH. TILE restoration of the chimes of St. Peter's Church has at length been effected, and this day the inhabitants will have an opportunity of once more hearing them, after an interval of about twenty-two years. On this day (Tuesday) the children of the Church Schools celebrate their anni versary, and attend Divine service at St. Peter's Church. It has been arranged that, previous to the service, the sacred tunes belonging to the set should be played, and that after church the whole of the tunes should be gone through, so as to give the people of Liverpool an oppor tunity of judging of the skill which has been displayed by Mr. COOPER, to whom the work was entrusted.' We understand that those who have heard them are highly delighted, not only with the fine tone of the bells, but also the correctness with which the tunes have been set. Great credit is due to the committee for the perseverance which they have displayed in carrying into effect so valu able an improvement; and as the outlay which has been incurred is not yet covered by the subscription, it is to be hoped that those who have not yet contributed anything towards the good work will lose no time in enrolling their names in the list of benefactors. GRAND CRICKET MATCH AT ST. HELENS. AN interesting cricket match, between eleven of All England and twenty-two of the members of the St. Helens Club, with Buttress and Armitage as howlers, was commenced yester day, on the ground of the latter, in a spacious field about half a mile from the town of St. Helens. The ground had been inclosed all round for the occasion with white sheeting. Se veral large tents had also been erected on the ground,. for the accommodation of the spectators, who were present in large numbers throughout the day, and included several of the leading families of the neighbourhood. All England having won the toss, went in first, and remained in during the whole of the day, their first innings not having concluded until a quarter past six o'clock in the evening. The batting of seve• ral of the All England members was much and deservedly admired, and at intervals, throughout the day, elicited the enthusiastic applause of the spectators. To the performances of George Parr, (the Nottingham Pet, as he is called,) the veteran - Mynn, Caffyn, and G. Morton, these observations more particularly apply. George Parr held the bat for up wards of two hours, and, as will be seen by the annexed score, Morton carried his bat out after a score of 21. Mynn on two occasions sent the ball beyond the limits of the ground, and obtained four runs in each case. The match will be resumed this morning, when the St. Helens will go in, and continued to-morrow. he following is the score up to last evening : ENGLAND. FIRST INNINGS. S. Parr Caesar B.

The victim was a man named Leach, who resided in Annerdale-street. He died on Monday, at his residence, before he could be removed to the work house hospital. LAUNCH AT GARSTON.—On Tuesday a fishing-boat, of 65 tons, was launched by Mr. Mason, at Garston. This vessel was built for Mr. Robert Isaac-, of St. John's Market, and will be commanded by 31r. W. Jones, an experienced fisherman. The event was afterwards celebrated by a dinner at Huxley's Royal Hotel.. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An inquest will be held to-day before the borough coroner, on the body of John Nixon, a' railway labourer. Deceased was employed on the 7th inst. with other men excavating on the new line from Burscough station to Wigan, when, owing to a sand crack, a quantity of clay, &e. from the embankment fell upon him, severely injuring his foot. He was conveyed to the Northern hospital, where he died on Saturday of tetanus, or lock-jaw. LIVERPOOL AND AUSTRALIAN NAVIGATION COMPANY. —A meeting of the Liverpool and Australian Navigation Company was held yesterday. The meeting was confined in its proceedings to the formal and routine business pre scribed by the Royal Charter granted for its incorporation. The first business brought forward, was the appointment of a board of direction ; and the following gentlemen were appointed directors, viz. ::—Benjamin H. Jones, Esq., Samuel Bright, Esq., R. L. Jones, Esq., Samuel Martin, Esq., Robt. Bright, Esq., and R. N. Philips, Esq. The steps necessary for completing the purchase of the steam ship Great Britain were adopted, and the purchase was completed. Contracts were also completed for the con struction of a new ship to be ready early next year, also confirmed ; and Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co. were ap pointed agents for the company. AT TILE BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY, before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, Joseph Moss, late a tobacconist, of this town, came up for his certificate. He was unop posed, and a first-class certificate was granted.—Robert Roberts, tailor, of Old Postoffice-place, also applied for his certificate. He was supported by Mr. Aspinall, barrister, and Mr. Evans, solicitor, appeared for the assignees. The commissioner granted a certificate of the second class, but thought that there were circumstances in the case requir ing a suspension for four months, protection granted in the meantime. SINGULAR DEATH OF A CIIILD.—Mr. Curry, the coro ner, will hold an inquest to-day on the body of an infant who died under somewhat mysterious circumstances on Saturday. The deceased, Ellen Mc.Lean, who was only three weeks old, was the daughter of parents residing at No. 5, East-street, off St. Paul's Square. On Saturday, the mother was removing, and gave the deceased to Mrs. Fegan, a widow woman, residing in Wigan-street, sending her at same time down to the docks to engage a cart. She returned in about half-an-hour, when she observed a black mark on the forehead of the child. One of the neighbours observed " why the child is dying." The mother sent for Dr. Osborne, who sent word that the child must be taken to him, but before that could be effected it died. The child was quite well when sent out, and Mrs. Fegan denies that it either fell or received any blow. THE ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROVING THE DWELLINGS OF THE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES.—The promoters of the branch association in this town have already received share subscriptions to the amount of £20,000, but they do not intend to commence actual operations until they have received £30,000. We learn that branch associations have been formed at Brighton, Dudley, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Ramsgate, Southampton, and Torquay, with an aggregate capital of £26,635 ; while applications to be affiliated are expected from Bristol, Coventry, Derby, Exeter, Glou cester, Plymouth, Wolverhampton, Worcester, and other towns. GREAT CRICKET MATCH.—On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last week, twenty players of Liverpool, with two professional bowlers given, tried their skill on the Olympus ground, Princes-park, against the famous " All England Eleven." Last year they won, but this year they are less fortunate, the excellent bowling of the veteran, W. Clarke, and Mickley, backed by the unapproachable fielding of the rest of the " Eleven," proved too much for their efforts. The scores were : All England, Ist innings, 75 ; second ditto, 100: total, 175. Liverpool, Ist innings, 63 ; second ditto, 57 : total, 120. Majority for All England 55. Marquees and seats were erected, Gribbin's band stationed on the ground, and every arrangement made for the accommodation of the spectators, who, how ever, were not numerous enough to clear the expenses in curred by the match committee. AMERICAN TRADE WITH LIVERPOOL.—Of late we have heard sa much of the great and gratifying increase of our trade with Australia, that our older, if not also our more important trade with America has been to some extent allowed to escape public notice. That it has not fallen off it is pleasing to learn ; and that it is still one deserving of the highest consideration of all, concerned in the welfare of Liverpool will be evident from the fact that during the last week no fewer than sixty-six vessels, with large and valuable cargoes, arrived here from the different ports of the United States, in addition to those which have entered from South America and the British North American possessions, and without taking into account the great passenger traffic carried on by the magnificent steamers plying between the Ner§ey au the different transatlantic patio ! LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE EASTERN WAR. Advices from Hermanstadt, of the 16th instant, state, that the Russians made another unsuccessful attack upon Silistria on the 10th. Prince Paskiewitsch received a very severe contusion on the right leg, and consequently delegated the command to Prince Gortschakoff, and removed to Jassy. A Turkish attack upon the island of Mokan was repulsed. The Emperor Nicholas is shortly expected at Kiew. Another despatch, of the same date, says—" A report has arrived here to the effect that, on the 9th inst., Prince Paskiewitsch received a severe wound in the side from a ball from the Turkish batteries, and that he was, in con sequence, removed to Jassy. Prince Gortschakoff, it is added, then assumed the command of the army." It is stated that the Porte has signified its acceptance of the convention proposed by Austria, with reference to the eventual occupation of the principalities. • STOCKHOLM, June 13.—News has reached this place to the effect that Admiral Plumridge, of the English Baltic fleet, had landed 1500 men from his ships at the captured town of Uleaborg, and had made prize of a quantity of specie The French fleet was seen on the 9th of Jnne at Ostergern. From Sweden we are informed that every military and naval preparation is being made. A general opinion is expressed that a declaration of war by Sweden against Russia may shortly be looked for. BERLIN, Friday.—The Austrian and Prussian joint note, in reply to the Bamberg coalition, was despatched to-day. On the 30th of May three English steamers des troyed the ships, dockyards, and stores at Brahestadt, in the north of the Gulf of Bothnia. 350,000 roubles of damage was done. On the 31st the steamers captured several vessels off Uleaborg, and on the Ist of June four steamers destroyed the ships, dockyards, and stores at Uleaborg : 400,000 roubles damage was done on the occa sion. VIENNA, Friday evening.—Advices from Constanti nople, of the Bth of June, announce that a convention had been concluded between the Ottoman Porte and Austria, authorising the latter to occupy the principalities when the Russians evacuate them. VARNA, June 1.-20,000 French troops have arrived. 8000 English are encamped in a strong position, at six leagues distant from the town. The armies will be soon complete, and are intended, it is said, to turn the Russian army by the Danube, with the aid of the fleet. The fleets are near Varna. The division which was to proceed to reduoe Anapa has not yet sailed. Schamyl has joined the Circassian troops in the plains. CONSTANTINOPLE, June s.—The advanced guard o Prince Napoleon's division is this moment in sight. Thef Sultan reviewed the English troops leaving for Varna.

Generals Canrobert and Scarlett had reached Varna. All the magazines at Salina had been burnt. VoLo, May 31.—After the Turks had been worsted at Kalambacha, they received reinforcements, and totally defeated Hadji Petros. SIIUMLA, June 5.—A corps of 30,000 men have ad vanced to relieve Silistria. CONSTANT/NOPIE, June B,—The attack upon Anapa, on the Circassian coast, will be made by ships of the line, as the guns of the steamers are not heavy enough to reach the Russian works. Lord Redcliffe has quite reco vered his health. BUCHAREST, June 15.—At four o'clock on the 13th the garrison of Silistria made a tremendous sortie. The battle was still raging when the accounts left. The• Thrkish reinforcements from. Shumla are said to have hem en gaged. General Schilders was dangerously wounded, and transported to :lialarasch. The Oest. Correspondent says that the news in the Moniteur of a treaty between Austria and the Porte as to the occupation of the princi palities, is, at all events, premature.

No later telegraph news. Twenty-nine English and eighteen French vessels of war were at anchor in Baro Sound. THE BLACK SEA FLEET. The Terrible and Retribution had been cruizing before Sabastopol. They perceived on the 31st of May several Russian ships of war putting back on their approach, believing, no doubt, that they found the advance guard of the combined squadron. When, however, they discovered them to be unaccompanied, two liners, two frigates, and two steamers sallied out in pursuit. The English vessels then retired. The Times' Paris correspondent alludes to reports that the recal of the English envoy at Constantinople is being pressed by the French Government upon the attention of the English Cabinet. SILISTRIA. PsittS,MONDAY.—The Moniteur contains the following: BUCHAREST, 16Th INST.—On the 13th the Turks with the greatest determination, attacked the besiegers. The action had already lasted four hours, and had not ter- minated when the messenger quitted Kalarasch. General Schilders had been carried off the field of battle seriously wounded. It is believed that the troops which had been forwarded for the relief of the place had taken part in the battle. The Chronicle says :—Advices from Silistria of the 12th, in local papers, state that on the 9th the Russians stormed forts five and nine, and were repulsed with a loss of 2,000. The Turks lost 800.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--MoNpu►r, JUNE 19. the new R s s t T aled that it was his intention The R D CHANCELLOR either reply heis to w e Lo k rd o L r t week to move th at tills er re t cently brought in for the consolidation of the criminal Y early D n u n e x . law be referred to a select committee. A conversation arose as to the right of the Earl of Donough more and several other Peers to vote in a pending election of an Irish representative Peer. The subject was eventually re ferred to the Committee of Privileges. Lord LYNDHURST, in a lengthened speech, drew attention to the memorandum relating to the Eastern Question, trans mitted by the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin to their envoys at the Diet. He pointed out with great force the importance of the matter, the statu quo ante bellum not being conceded with respect to the territory of Russia, which, from the docu ment in question, seemed to be the object of the German Powers. He described the aggressive policy of Russia of late years, and said that material guarantees must be taken from her. Her pledges were not worth the paper on which they were written. The German Powers must have the Danube placed beyond Russian control, the Circassians be delivered, the Russian navy in Sebastopol be destroyed, and the Crimea taken from her. The Earl of CLARENDON, after some complaints of the irregularity of the discussion, stated that Austria was now a cordially acting with England and France, haveandwoul_o_ force of 300,000 men in operation against Russia. With. re gard to the terms upon which peacesrhould be made, he could give no pledge whatever. (Hear , pre sent the object of Europe, however, Imu st be to cripple the i power and to check the policy o f and the means hear.) At for it were so great that if again — repression was the only means of avoiding the danger Which 19 Q.. emir., aist, the opportunity was not now taken it might never occur again—rep The Earl of DERBY expressed great satisfaction " 4 the decided language of the Earl of CLARENDON. The Earl of ABERDEEN remarked, that before the declare' tion of war, it had never occurred to the Allies to provide I?", Turkish conquests of Russian territory. Their object was protect the territory and independence of Turjcey again' Russian aggression. Consequently there might be sonle , ambiguity in the documents referred to by Lord Lyndharo, but he attached no importance to their ambiguity, now the Austria was actively exerting herself on the side of France and England. The conditions of peace must depend on the results of the war; so soon as lie saw a prospect of a just an d honourable peace, be should recommend it; but in order t o obtain this object war would be prosecuted with vigottr• After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT, the 30.0 6 dropped. The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders were disposed of. The house adjourned at 8 5 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, RITE 19. In reply to Mr. OTWAY, Sir J. GRAHAM briefly explained some of the circurostaneen,, attending the loss of the Europa, confirming the statement that it had been found impossible to launch the largest WO belonging to the vessel in the hurry and confusion. Some questions were then put and replied to, after which, Mr. STRUTT rose to explain the circumstances attending his recent resignation of office, first declaring that many 0 the reports circulated on the subject were erroneous. After describing the nature and duties of the office he lately held-' the chancellorship of the duchy of Lancaster—he stated that a few days prior to the late ministerial changes, he received a letter from Lord John Russell, written on the part of the head of the government, in consequence of which he had an interview with the noble lord, who informed him that the. government was in a position of some di ffi culty, and tha t certain arrangements were required to be made which could not be done except by the disposal of his office. He (MCI Strutt) subsequently found that all the arrangements btu been made already, and that lie therefore offered his uncork tional resignation. He was loudly cheered while making UP statement. . _ In reply to questions, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the names of the two additional commissioners to be appointed for the Oxford University Bill were the Earl of HarrowbY and Mr. Cornwall Lewis ; also that the Police Bill would ndt be proceeded with till next week. The house then went into committee on the Oxford Univer' city Bill. Mr. PH INN moved the adoption of a clause, declaring that after the passing of the act no action shall be commenced of maintained in any court of law for the recovery of any debt, contracted or incurred by any student under the age of 2 1 years. Considerable discussion followed. Mr. HENLEY and Air. GLADSTONE opposed the clause , which was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. PHINN also proposed the other clause of which he had given notice. Mr. BLACKETT proposed a clause rendering it henceforth unlawful to administer any oath on admission into any °lnce or emolument in the university or colleges. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER thought the coast' deration of these oaths ought to be left to the universityitself . Sir W. HEATHCOTE thought this the best course that could be adopted. Mr. BLACKETT replied. _ . _ The house then divided—For the second reading of the clause, 71 ; against it, 109 : majority against the clause, 38. A clause proposed by Mr. J. Pm ILLIM ORE, for preventie6 undue precedence in passing any examination on account of rank, was rejected by a majority of one. Mr. BOY ER proposed several clauses for enforcing the studs of civil law. _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recommended th e clauses to be withdrawn. iMr. HENLEY and Mr.J.Plummons concurred in the silt' gestion. . After some discussion the clauses were withdrawn. Mr. HEYWOOD moved the introduction of cl aus es giving power to the student to choose his own branch of study t h e the last year of his academical course, and also directing commissioners to prepare accounts of the revenues of the university. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that by the 4t h , clause the commissioner had power to call for accounts. li" suggested the withdrawal of the clauses. Mr. HEYWOOD briefly replied, Clauses withdrawn, and the preamble agreed to with verb amendments. Mr. M. GIBBON complained of the proprietors of certni° publications being compelled to make a false declarant ) ° , stating them to be newspapers, for the purpose of sendia them through the post free. Mr. WILSON denied that any false declaration was in force' Mr. BRIGHT contended that the law operated uneclua ll and required alteration. After some conversation the subject dropped, and the house went into committee of supply. Mr. SCHOLBFIELD moved the reduction of .€lOOOll the vote of £165.000 for Convict Prisons and Lunatic Asyldn urging similar reasons to those urged in the discussion 0 Roman Catholic Chaplains last week. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. Mr. MACARTNEY and Colonel GREVILLR Complain • e d thst Ireland was unjustly treated in this estimate. Mr. T. CHAMBERS supported the motion. Sir J. YOUNG opposed it. . _ After a lengthened debate, in the course of which, Lord PALMERSTDN, after expressing his astonishment at the vote come to last week respecting Roman Catholic chnP; lains, said that to agree to the motion proposed would Ta o exceed it in injustice. He trusted that the house would 0 0 sanction the principle involved in the motion. After some observations from Mr. LucAs and Mr. HO FIELD' Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT condemned the vote on Rout Catholic chaplains. There was, however, no reason why injustice should be extended, and he trusted that the motion would be rejected. After some further discussion, the house divided on M r ' Scholefield's motion for reducing the vote 'to .entio• for the chaplains.—Ayes, 23 ; Noes, 246—Majority against the mo tion, 223 A discussion on the remaining estimates was Yon' eed ed with, and many items agreed to. The chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. The Stamp Acts and other bills were pot On the Public Revenue and Consolidateds Fu i nd ed aharges Bill being further considered, Mr. cRAWFORD objected to several c h a rges included in th e out' schedule. and moved that certain items should be struck P° Other hon. members objected to the bill being proceeae.!, with, and after some discussion, the debate was adjourne d Thursday.
