A description was also given, and in a short time he was taken into custody with £2 14s. 6d. in his pocket. His master was at the time in London, at the Crys tal Palace. Information of the capture was telegraphed to him, and on Saturday he sent word that he would attend at the Police-office, in Dublin, on Tuesday, to prosecute the pri soner, who was, in consequence, remanded till yesterday. Wen MOVEMENTS.—The Assistance, new steam transport, sailed, on Tuesday, for the Crimea. Arrangements are in progress for the 3rd Regiment of Lancashire Militia to sail hence, in the Lord Raglan, on the 28th instant, for one of the Mediterranean ports. During the week several batches of naval volunteers have been sent up to London. Telegraphic announcements have been received by Mr. Fowler to the effect that the steamship Arabia (belonging to the Cunard Com pany's line of Royal Mail steamers) left Malta, on the 18th instant, direct for Spithead. On her arrival there no time will be lost in embarking more troops for the seat of war. DOCK COMMITTEE.— M the weekly meeting on Thursday, the warehouses sub-committee recommended that the resigna tion of Mr. Forbes be accepted, and that some other person should be appointed to fill his place ; also, that £13,000 should be transferred from the Albert and Stanley docks to the credit of the general account, making the amount for the whole year £27,000. Prom the conversation that followed it appeared that this was a larger amount by £6,000 than was transferred last year, upon which Mr. Langsdale observed, that " such figures looked very nice on paper ;" and Mr. Holmes, "that, in railway affairs, they always looked at the working expenses, which did not appear in this case." LAUNCH OF THE ELLEN RADFORD.—OH Monday, Mr. Henry Follett, of Sheldon, Deionshire, launched a splendid new ship of about 500 tons burthen, built on the new principle, being five times and a half her width for her length. She is intended for the silver and copper ore trade from the West Coast, and commanded by Captain Wakem, who is well known in the trade. The wife of one of its owners (Mr. J. Radford, of Liverpool), performed the ceremony of naming her, which she did in good style in these words —" Success to the Ellen' Radford, may she be prosperous and successful in all her future voyages." The vessel instantly glided of the ways in gallant style. She is considered a perfect model. We hear Mr. Follett is about to build another ship about 100 tons larger for the same owners, in addition to a ship he is building fora Liverpool house of about 700 tons burthen. ASSAITIT AND ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. -- Jeremiah O'Brien was brotght up at the Police-court, on Saturday, on a charge of assaulting a foreigner, -named Elias Philip Risp, and attempting to steal his watch. The complainant stated, that • on Thursday afternoon he was -standing at the door of an'. of in Castle-street, where his . employer takes daguerreotype likenesses, when the prisoner came up to him, and after inquiring the price of a photograph, soddenly made a grasp at his watch, and then struck him in the face and kicked him. An alarm was raised, and after a smart chase down Orange buildings, Cook-street, and Bank-huildings, the prisoner was. caught. After some remarks on the case by Mr. S. Helms, the prisoner was fined £, or, in default, imprisoned for a month. WILLIAM CLEASDAIS, an apprentice in the employ of a printer, in Duke-street, was charged at _the Police-court, on Saturday, with assault.—Mrs. Ereedhhmn the wife-of a 'dock gateman, stated that . she was going along Sonth Castle street, about a quarter-past one, on Saturday morning, when the prisoner met her, -and after asking if she had-any money, put a plaster over her face. She screamed out as soon as she could remove a portion of the plaster from her mouth, and a policeman coming up at the time, she gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to the magistrates, the prisoner said he only did.it for a " lark,". and -that the plaster " was made of printers' ink." Mr. 1-lolme said such "larks?' were rather dangerous, and be must either pay a-fine of 20s. or go to prison: for a -month. FOREIGN SH:PFIN G.—A return has just -been made, from the office of the Comptroller-General of the Customs, in Lou don, of the sums paid under the Act 59 Geo. 111., c. 54, and subsequent Treasury orders, in the years .1853 . and 1854, for the dif'erenee of rates and charges due to Corporations, com panies, or individuals, for foreign vessels-Which, under treaties of reciprocity or otherwise, are admitted:into the ports' of the United Kingdom at the same rates as British vessels, specify ing on what account the same was paid, whether for light dues, dock dues, dues on ships or merchandise, pilotage, or otherwise. It appearenfrom this return, that the sum-eo paid to the Liver pool Pilots' Company for pilotage was £7.7;82 lls, 3d. in 1853, and £8,580 13s. 3d. in 1854; and to the _Corporation of Liver pool, for anchorage, £24 Bs. 6d. in 1858, and £25 7s. in 1854. LIVERTOCL TRADE AND SHIFrING.—A retain has just been issued; on the motion of Mr.. Hersfall, showing the number of vessels entered inwards and cleared outwards at each of the twelve principal ports of .the United. Kingdom, with the amount of tonnage, and the declared value of the ex ports to foreign countries and British possessions during the year 1854. It appears that the number of vessels entered in wards in - the port of Liverpool was 4,493, the aggregate ton nage being 2,190,404 tons ; and. the number which cleared outwards was 4,551; tonnage, 2,161,205. The declared value exported from this port was £46,719,17:7; or more than double thstof the exports of London, nod more than half of the value of the whole exports of the twelve' ports included iii the re turn, which, besides Liverpool and :London, embraces Hull, Bristol,.Newcastle, Southampton, . Leith, Glasgow, Greenock, Duhlin,--Cork, and Belfast. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The - - vif....ekly board was held on Wednesday. It was resolved, 4 ` That inasmuch as the Coroner has refused to forward a noisy cf the depositions to the guardians, the evidence adduced before this board with refe rence to the complaint which has -been preferred by Major Greig against Mr. James Johnson, one of the medical officers of thennion, in the case of John Wright, does not justify-them in expressing any opinion upon the •:a'leged neglect in ques tion." A letter having been received from the Poor-law Board,-enclosing a-copy of -a-complaint against Mr. H. Manda lay Latham, one of the-relieving ofEcers of this union, it was resolved that the same be referred to. Mr. Latham, with a re quest that he would furnish the board; at their neat meeting, with a reply in writing. The quarterly bills of the union amounted to upwards of £4,000. The number of paupers in the hence during the week was 722, -an increase of 99 upon the corresponding week of last year. -The total number of out-door paupers receiving relief during the week was 3;614, an increase of 317 upon the corresponding week of last year. The total amount expended in .cut-doorrelief was £209145. Bd. hartma. OF MINES.—BiII No. 2, prescribes the mode and rate of assessment of the occupiers of mines to the rates for the relief of the poor. The annual rateable value of the mines is to be estimated at the sumtvhich, for the year ending 25th of March immediately preceding such assessment, shall have accrued to the lord for rent royalty or toll in respect of such mine, or the value thereof in money where the same shall he -rendered in kind. THE „NEW CEMETERIES FOR Wi&aar AND INCE.—The order in council respecting the graveyards in Wigan requires them - to be 'closed on the Ist of July neat, but as it is impos sible to have the new public cemetery for the borough ready for several months to come, the Wigan _Burial Board, at their meeting on Thursday afternoon last, adopted a memorial to the Home Secretary, praying for an .entension of time for burials in:the present graveyards to the first of January next. HEALTH OF THE TO*'N.—The medical officer of health, in his weekly report to the Health Committee, on Thursday, stated thatfhe had again to report favourably of the health of the town. In the week ending on Saturday, the total deaths in the borough amounted to 190, being 40 less than the cor, rected averages of the same week of the preceding seven years. In the-parish of Liverpool the deaths were 135, and in the out-townships .55. The mortality from diseasfn of the zymotic class amennted. to 50.

SELECT VEE7Z7. - At the Select Vestry meeting on Tues day,the minutes of the Workhouse Committee contained the following resolution, passed on the motion of Mr. Denton : " That the privilege of leaving the workhouse :to attend chapel on Sundays be withdrawn in the case of any pauper who, after due notification of this resolution by the :governor, shall, without the consent of the officer in charge, desert from the ranks of the procession While - going to and retuning from chapel, or who shall otherwise misconduct himself or herself on such occasions."—,This resolution, which had reference to the Romanist paupers, was strongly objected to by Mr. Whitty and Mr. Hughes ; and, after some remarks from the-chairman and the Rev. Rector Campbell, the resolution was referred back.—Mr. Thomas Owen and Mr. William Bairstow were elected members of the board. THE CHARITABLE TRUSTS ACT.—On Friday, a meeting of the trustees of the Liverpool Royal Infirmary was held in the board-room, Edward Gibbon, Esq., in the chair. The object ~w as to petition parliament against certain clauses in the e:r..a ritable Trusts Bill, - which, if „ Carr i ed; will have the effect bringing the institution under the control of the Charitable Trust Commissioners. A petition waS submitted andapkoved of, which set out that, should the proposed bill pass into law, the infirmary would be deprived of one of its chief sources of pecuniary support—the voluntary contributions and dona tions of charitable individuals being in 'many,if not in most, cases, given to the institution in consequence of the donors' personal knowledge of the parties by whom its afihirs . were managed and its funds expended, and with a confidence which it could not be hoped would be extended to those who Were unconnected with the locality—strangers alike to its interests an, - 1 its warts. It further represented that there would be great risk of depriving such institutions of the services of gen tlenien actively engaged in their management, who looked. for no reward buf success in their voluntary labours, and the con . tinned approbation of the public, on whom they were dependent for their -funds. The expense which would be thrown upon the charities was also alluded to, another great objection to the portion of the bill in question. It was resolved that the petition should first be sent to the borough members, with a request that they would induce Lord Ravensworth to present it to the House o' Lords. It was also agreed that, if neces sary, the chairman and treasurer of the institution should go to London to_ support the prayer of the petition, and to present one to the House of Commons also. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. THE MILLOWNEES AND SHORT Tntr.—The exceedingly unsatisfactory position of the -market is at length forcibly di recting attention to the necessity for , the adoption of short time. At. Preston several millownera have. given their. hands notice of their intention to reduce the hours of working or stop altogether. At Stockport the same course is being pursued; whilst at Eacup and Blackburn similar intimations have been given. These are places in which the requisite steps have been taken; andwe hear of still more instances in which it is the intention to continue at work only until the completion of contracts, or until such time as stocks of cotton are worked up. There seems to be little probability that cotton can be main tained at reasonable prices so long as the 'consumption con tinues atits present rate, whilst with so large a production of cloth and yarn as is at present thrown upon the market, it is just as improbable that advanced prices could be obtained either for goods or yarns. At the same time, if the mills are to be closed, or shorter hours of working to be adopted, it is in every way desirable that it shOuld be at the present period of the year, when cut-door labour is plentiful, rather than in the winter, when other occupation cannot readily be obtained. —Manchester courier. A laDy's DILEMMA.— In looking over the "Cerresponden2e" of some of our more fashionable papers, it will be perceived that most of'the "Answers" relate to complaints on the part of the fairer half of creation, respecting the ravages which atmospheric influence makes with the complexion. In lieu of bloom and beauty they expatiate on a long train of personal disfigurations in the shape of pimples, tan, frecides, &c.—eruptive horrors, all! And what is a lady to do in this dilemma?

AN action for breach of promise of marriage came on in the Court of Exchequer on Thursday—Morris v. Berry. The chief noticeable point was that the connection between the parties was brought about by sidvertisernent, in which Berry, as " a solicitor with £BOO a year," stated his desire to meet with " a young lady of evangelical principles" and somu pro perty. Miss Morris was asked by another lady, her friend, to .accompany , iier-to an interview with the advertiser, but the ' matter ended by the solicitor taking to Miss Morris inttead of the original applicant. He engaged himself to her, and, fleding her education incomplete, placed her at school ; but soon after married another lady; and the consequence to the plaintiff was a serious fit of illness. A verdict was given for • , . ..eOO, by consent, the defendant, however, denying the story as .related above to be fact. - A RANDOM SHOT.—Not very long ago an -express train drew up at a railway station at no great distance from the Borders, and a gentleman bearded like a pard, accompanied by alnbble looking lady, left a firsttclass carriage and entered a refresh ment-room. Just at that moment a native who had been paying his devotions with too great fervour at the shrine of the jolly god, was industriously emancipating an tgbrveseing draught frog ) a task he held in his hand, and, either thought lessly or recklessly, directed the cork towards the face of the distinguished-looking traveller, who jerked aside to avoid the missile. ."

At Falmouth,..on the 13th, the bodies of a man and woman were found floating near the mouth of Helford, river; the fe -male appeared to have been above the lower class, as she had on the remains of a striped - silk dress, and, in a small velvet purse tied around her neck, were gold coins, a ring, and a - brooch. These bodies were also very much decomposed. On 'Tuesday two other bodies, one a female, and the other a man, with his head off, were washed on shore at Cadgwith, Ruan Miner.

A RUNAWAY Bamß.—Some little sensation was created the other day, in the vicinity of Leeds parish church, by the eccentric conduct of a bride that was to have been. A young couple marched down to church, dressed in their best, arid .attended by " bridesmaids," &c., each apparently Tery well pleasd with the contemplation of, the knot matrimonial about to be tied. Suddenly, however, the lady's eye caught that of an old flame, and in au instant she dropped, the arm of her expectLnt bridegroom, and threw herself into those of her old laver. In a trice a coach was called; and before the astonished bridegroom had recovered his breath, his intended bride and her newly-found lover were driving up Kirkgate at express speed. The bridegroom shouted and ran, and the bridci , maid ran and shouted, and both besought the intervention of the police, but as the officer did not "know any just cause or im pediment" why a young woman should not change her mind, and substitute Dick for Tom, if the whim so took her, he :love:, the coach to rattle off, and left the jilted bridegroom to wend biz way homewards.

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' BILL.—Lord PORTMAN moved the second reading of this bill. The House of Commons, after three special committees of inquiry, had agreed td the present bill, which it was anticipated would work well and satisfactorily to the societies.—Lord RAVENSWORTII observed that the 39th clause, by which building societies found themselves subject to a new fiscal burden in the shape of stamps, had created great dissatisfacticin. He was given to understand it was not in the power of their lordships to amend that clause, as it was one affecting the privileges of the House of Commons, and, if the clause was allowed to pass in its present shape, he wished It to be understood that it was only on account of the reason he had just mentioned. The bill was read a second time. The Church Patronage Transfer Bill was reported with mendments.—Thelnsurance on Lives Abatement of Income tax Continuance Bill, and the Cinque Ports Bill, both went through committee—The Duchy of Lancaster Lands, and the Militia (No. 2) Bill were read a second time.

Earl of MALMESBERT having commented on the particulars published of the recent massacre of a boat's crew by Russian soldiers at Hango, asked how Her Majesty's government intended to proceed with respect to this gross public violation of the sacred code of honour.—The Earl of CLARENDON stated that the govern ment had lost no time in demanding of the Russian authorities, through the intervention of the Danish government, what steps they intended to take to mark their sense of the atrocity lately committed at Hango. When the Russian reply had been received the government would determine on the proper course to be pursued. , --A brief discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord BuotTonam said, the Russian goverement must be called on not only to disclaim and disown, but to punish the perpetrators of a deed so extraordinary and so cruel. If ever the land cried for blood, it was now. MEASUREMENT OF MERCHANT STEAMERS RILL,—The Earl - of HARDWICRE in moving the second reading of this bill said, it was not intended to make any change in the pre sent law of tonnage, bat he was desirous that some addition should be made to the existing law as affected measurement and registration. He entered into a lengthened statement with respect to tonnage being calculated by actual displace ment rather than by the present mode of measurement, and also with reference to the mode of ascertaining the power of steam-engines. The unit of horse-power, as estimated by James Watt, was 33,0001b5. raised one foot per minute, whereas subsequent improvements had considerably increased the power of marine engines, so that 100,000Ibs might be taken as within the average.—Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, opposed the motion, which, on n division, was negatived by 28 to 21. The Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill was read a third time and passed.—The Stamp Duties Repeal on Matriculation and Degrees (Oxford) Bill was read a second time.—The Cha ritable Trusts (1855) Bill passed through Committee.—The Grants of Lands Bill and the Public Libraries and Museums (Ireland) Bill were read a second time.—The Insurance on Lives Abatement of Inceme-tax Continuance Bill and the Cinque Ports Bill were read a third time and passed.—The Duchy of Lancaster Lands Bill Enid the Militia (No. 2) bill passed ' through committee.—The Consolidated Fund (£10,000,000) Bill and the Spirit of Wine Bill were read a se cond time. .

HOUSE , OF COMM-ON& TUESDAY. ; The England and .l viand Improved Communication Bill was read a third time. On the motion of Mr. WILSON, a new clause was added, by which power was. given to the companies mentioned to enter into contracts for the conveyance of mails in their boats with the Postmaster-General and the Lords of the Admiralty; and after a discussion, in whiCh the necessity was urged upon the Government of improving the pastenger i4S well as the postal communication with Ireland, the bill massed. i The motion for going' into committee •on the Tenants' Im provements - Compensation (Ireland) Bill, led to considerable Ifeiscussion and two divi , lons. Ultimately the house went into irwmmittee, and threat:Leases having been agreed to, further I .proeeeding,s were adjourned. THE SEAT OP WAE.—In answer to a question, Mr. WILSON ~said that the attention-of the Postmaster-General had been ~i iireeted to the subjeet,of establishing a money-order office at Constantinople and in the Crimea, to facilitate the trans mission of small sums thence to this country, but it was found :that the regularity necessary for effecting such an arrange ment could not . be secured in regard to .a.camp that might be ;in motion. THE ARCTIC EXiELCTION.—Mr. MAKIKNON moved for a ' , select committee to inquire into the circumstances of the expedition to the Arctic. Seas, commanded by Captain 'McClure, 'With a view to ascertain whether any and what reward may .be due for the services. rendered on that occasion. He justified his motion by referring to a precedent in 3834, when a select ,-committee was appointed to consider the services rendered by Sir James Ross, and by contrasting the importance, in respect :tolumanity as well es economy, of the discovery of a north west passage, in comparison with the barren discovery of Boot.hia.—Lord PALKERCTON gave his cordial assent to the . motion. It was impossible to appreciate too highly the great merits of Captain M'Clure, who had solved the problem whicli .had.-solong excited the.intense anxiety of maritime nations. — The motion was agreed to. A motion for certain papers relating to the _.building erected - for the Lancaster shot manufactory at Woolwich was agreed t o. COrSOLIDATION OF !Nix STA,TUTE LAW.—Mr. LOCKE KING:MOVed a series of resolutions referring - to the appoint ment, in 1853, of a paid commission to proceed without delay in the.work of the consolidation of the statutelaw, and to the fact that no bill for the repeal of expired, obsolete, or unne cessarystatutes, as recommended in a report of the commis sion, hadyet been prepared, and expressing the opiniOn of the house that it would greatly conduce to the improvement of the statute law .if the preparation of " a declaratory bill, of _whichthe,cpecial and detailed report shall_form.the ground vrorh," were no longer to be delayed, and that such bill ought to be forthwith prepared.—The motion was opposed by the government, but after some discussion was carried by 45 to 28.. SALE OF LRMY COMMISSIONE.—A motion by Mr.. HEAD es for a committee to consider an address to • Her Majesty, praying that-she would be pleased to direct alterations to be made in the -rules in the military ,service, to the effect that the regulation , Faille of the commissions of officers in the army, dying or having died in. active service during the present war, might it paid to their representatives and deemed part of their I,,ersonal- estate, was after some discus sion withdrawn. The Justices of Peso Qualification Bill passed through committee. The Home adjourned at half-past 10 o'clock. WEDNESDAY. LIVERPOOL )JD BIRKENHEAD Docnc.—Mr. HORSFALL moved that . the Liverpool' Docks and the Birkenhead and as amended, be consid er ed on Thur s day, Liverpool Docks (Trust Property of Birkenhead Dock Trus tees, having been deposited on Tuesday.-- e M r. amended p ß r i i n 1 I t s s , Ferznot, as Chairman of committees, Oppeaed the motion. The report on these bills was fixed by the standing orders for consideration en Monday next, and no reason had been , assigned why the house should depart from its rules, and allow private bills to be taken four days before their appointed S: FrizoraALD thought that this was a peculiar ease, these bills having been for months before parliament, and unless the report was considered on Thursday, instead of Monday next, they could not leave that house in time to go up to the House of Lords before the 10th of July, the latest date for receiving bills there, in order that they might be Passed this session.—Mr. WALPOLD observed, that if the bill, as amended, was considered on Monday, it could be read a third time on Wednesday. It would then be taken to the. Lords directly, so that there would be ample time for its being read before the 12th of July, Under these circum stances he trusted that his hon. friend would not press his motion.—After a short discussion, Mr. UoasrALL consented to withdraw his motion, which was accordingly done. Mannia.6ll 4 Law.—The House of Commons having re solved itself into a committee upon the Marriage Law Amend ment Bill, Sir F.. THESIGER moved an amendment of the first clause, the effect being to take away the retrospective opera tion of the bill. In an elaborate argument, hecontended that this was the first time Parliament had sanctioned a wilful vio lation of the law by securing to the offenders the very , fruits of their offence, rendering at once lawful that which ; had been unlawful. for twenty years. The example of such legislation, which would interfere with the rights of property, he thought a dangerous one.—Mr. HEYWOOD resisted this amendment, citing precedents which he considered to be exactly in point in the reign of Edward VI, legalising the marriage of priests. After a lengthened discussion tbe.amendment was negatived by 132 to 85, and the clause was agreed to. Upon the second clause, whiCh provides that such marriages after the passing of the act shall not be void or voidable, Sir F. ,THESIGER moved the omission - of the words which has been or shall be celebrated at any time or place whatever." Ills object, he said, was to prevent the retrospective operation of the bill. - They ought to understand what would be the effect of a .marriage Which had taken place with a deceased's wife's sister, and a subsequent marriage either with a deceased wife's . niece, or witleany other person. He wanted-to• know what would be the effect-of this clause upon those marriages; whether the first was to be the lawful marriage and the children legitimate, or the second was to be the lawful marriage and the children legitimate. Until some explanationwa.s:given as to the con dition of such parties, he thought the committee were hardly in a position to legislate at all in this matter. Another long discussion took place, in the course of which Mr. HENLEY said there were plenty of cases where men had married three sisters, and all of them were still alive. Was the bill in tended to allow such men to have two legitimate wives ? Several divisions took place, and ultimately the clause was carried by 128 to 03. Clause 3 was found so full of difficulty that further proceedings were adjourned. An unsuccessful attempt was made to go into committee on the Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill. The Administration of Oaths Abroad Bill was read a second time. FRAUDS IN MA.NUNACTUREB.—The house resolved itself into a committee, when a resolution en which to frame a bill to extend to _Scotland the Act to Amend the Laws for the Prevention of Frauds and Abuses by Persons employed in the Woollen, Worsted, Linen, Cotton, Flax, Mohair, and Silk Hosiery Manufacturers, and the Wages of the Workmen en gaged therein, was agreed to. Mr. FITZGERALD obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Dublin Carriage Acts. The house adjourned at a few minutes to six o'clock. THURSDAY. The SPBAKER took the chair at noon. The house wenFinto committee on the Metropolis Local Management Bill, and clauses 123 to 158 baying been gone through, further proceedings were adjourned till Tuesday. THE VAR TELEGRAPH..--In reply to an inquiry, Lord PALMERSTON said the telegraphic communication with the Crimea had been interrupted for two or three day, which was the reason why no intelligence had been received; but that it had been re-established, and the last accounts were dated the 17th. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORM.—In answer to Mr. Lindsay, Lord PALMERSTON declined, on the ground of the state of public business, to fix a day for the resumption of the adjourned debate upon Administrative Reform. Mr. LINDSAY therefore gave notice that on Friday, on the motion for adjournment, he should take the opportunity of repeating the statement he had i made with respect to th e mismanagemen t o f th e Ad m i ra lty n the matter of steam transport. • The house went again into committee upon the Tenants' Improvement Compensation (Ireland) Bill, and was engaged in the discussion of a single clause—the 4th—until past midnight. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT or 1854.—The Muse having gone into committee, a resolution was agreed to upon which to found a bill to alter in some respects this act, and leave was given to bring in the bill. _ _ - The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill passed through com mittee. The house went into committee pro forma on the Dwel lings for Labouring Classes (Ireland) Bill, and the Bills of Exchange Bill. The Spirits (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill and the Jus tices of the Peace Qualification Bill were read a third time and passed. The County of Lancaster Trials Bill was read a second time. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.—The order of the day for the resumption of the debate having been read, the SPFAICER put the question on Sir B. Lytton's amendment, now become a substantive motion—" That this house recommends to the earliest attention of Her Majesty's Ministers the necessity of a careful revision of our various official establishments with a view to simplify and facilitate the transaction of publie busi ness, and, by instituting judicious tests of merit, as well as by removing obstructions to its fair promotion and legitimate rewards, to secure to the service of the State the largest available proportion of the energy and intelligence for which the people of this country are distinguished."—A solitary cry of "No" was uttered by an individual on the Ministerial benches, and the resolution was declared to be carried, amid loud laughter. The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. FRIDAY. CENSURE ON THE OPERNMENT. POEHUCR gave notice that on the 3rd of July he should move the following resolution :—" That this house, deeply lamenting the sufferings of our army durin,,c , the winter campaign in the Crimea, and coinciding with the resolution of their committee that the conduct of the administration was the first and chief cause of those misfortunes, hereby visits with its severe reprehension every member of the Cabinet whose counsels led to such dis astrous results." THE BUSINESS OF THE Hous. 7 --Mr. DISRAELI asked whether Lord Palmerston would have aky objection to state, on Monday next, the course which he intended to take with regard to the business of the house. There were at present ' 79 orders of the day; there were 36 bills waiting for a second ' reading; 31 bills passing through committee; two bills, as amended, were to be considered; there were six bills -for a third reading; one bill for the consideration of lords' amend, meats; and three adjourned debates on matters of importance.— Lord PALMERSTON had no objection to state at once that there were several bills which the government were anxious. to press forward, but that there were many bills of which they . knew -nothing, and the fate of which was a matter of indif ference to the government. He would go into the matter on Monday. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday, a short conversation occurred on a question put by •SirJ.PAKINGTON respecting the resumption of the adjourned debate on the Bill for Promoting National Education.—Mr. •Joisis VG-EEG-on called attention to the expediency of re instituting the office of Secretary. of State for Scotland.—s The LORD-ADVOCATE, remarking that. the Scotch Education Bill stood the first order of the day, declined to follow Mr. M'Oregor into his details.-,Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, upon a notice to call attention to the present state of the transport service, entered upon a vindication of hiniself against a charge - which- affected his personal honour, his veracity having been called in question by Admiral Berkeley, by whom he had been accused, he said, of uttering virulent untruths. IC. WOOD went minutely through all the charges I brought by Mr. LINDSAY against the government authori- I ties, supporting his refutations or explanations by reading the official documents and correspondence relating to each. Some of the charges, he said, were totally destitute of foun ; -dation ; in others the fancy of Mr. LINDSAY, he thought, had overcome his memory, and in respect to one or two he retorted upon that gentleman. The -house havingagam re -solved itself into committee upon the Education (Scotland) Bill, proceeded as far as the 13th clause, when the chairman was" ordered to report progress. BILLS or LADING (No. 2) BILL—The house again ' went into committee on this bill. On clauSe 4, which gave persons having any claim for debt or damages against any foreign ship or owners thereof power to detain each ship until such claim was satisfied, being read, Mr. BonvEniE said, he retained the objections to this clause which he had urged on a former o-:_'casion. The clause had reference to foreign ships only, but no distinction could be made between foreign owners and colonial owners, therefore if the law was to . i a t p ,;T pl han y e - d t y o to t hl l le i t e hh o fou n ul e s it then rh m eefunl u lnaad4 s lre t ): mar. resumed. asy q ui ( u ltisrmpl a i dl y z. apply to the other. He had I received' a communication from the Liverpool Shipowners' e Association, the members of which, seeing the danger to the shipping interest if such a law as this were passed, expressed .a hope that the house would not sanction the clause as at present worded.—Mr. CAIRN'S said that one-half of the 1 objections urged by the hon. gentlemen Against the clause were mere matters -of details, which could easily be removed, awhile the main objection was entirely without foundation. The bill had been well considered out of the house, and was ,unanimously supported by the Chambers of Commerce of the Zifierent mercantile towns , throughout the kingdom. Mr. THORNELY opposed the clause.—Mr. HORSFALL said, the ,members of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association did not oppose the bill, but they approved the objects which it had in view.—On a division there was .a majority of 68 to 51 against the clause, which was therefore expunged, as were also the remaining clauses of the bill, which were all dependent upon were2 o ) fmro ß oem i na l ,ye d a a r. s u s doe second tothnhecielY time.ool Militia;l en , &c . , Manufactures fafC concerning o e o ti a r w p r P a e y E s (8 te o h c n b o et t t a l qo a i obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the and ers Mr. BODVERIE, a bill to repeal the stamp duty leviable on o The house adjourned at five minutes to 2 o'clock. COURT AND FASHION. EARL STANHOPE has signified to the Vice-Chancellor of Ox ford University, that it is his intention to give during his life, and to bequeath at his death, an annu a l p r i ze . o f £ 2O for the best composition on a Modern History subject. THE RIGHT HON. SIDNEY HERBERT has been advised by his medical attendant to abstain from all public business for a time in order to recruit his health, for which purpose he is now on a tour in Scotland. WE have the best authority for contradicting, the statement which has lately been made public, that there is at present any probability of lineal transmission of the Crown of France.— The :Press. TEE renowned Countess de Lavalette, daughter of the Mar quis tie Beauharnais, and cousin-german of Queen Hortense, died in Paris on the 18th inst. She was the wife of Count de Lavalette, Postmaster-General under the first - empire, whoni she saved from the scaffold, in 1815, by her energy and pre sence of mind. MISS NIGHTINGALE.—Mr. C. H. Bracebridge lias sent from Scutari, under date of the 7th, a brief narrative of Miss Nightingale's labours at Balakiava, and her return to Scutari in Lord Ward's yacht. At the date mentioned she was ex tremely weak, but "-has no remains of fever, and no danger is apprehended." She trusts to be soon able to return to Bala klava. Miss Nightingale was visited while 'sick by Lord Raglan at the huts, and again on board the Yacht, and was received on landing at Scutari by Lord W. Paulet, commandant; Dr. Cumming, inspector-general ; and Dr. Til'Greger, deputy inspector. The house of the chaplain is placed at her disposal, and she has been offered the use of the British palace at Pera, by Lord and Lady Stratford de Redeliffe. THE QUEEN went on Tuesday to Chatham, to inipect the invalids at the military barracks. Her Mrjesty and the Prince travelled by special train on the South-Eastern Rail way to the Strood station, where three of her Majesty's car riages were waiting to convey the royal party to Chatham. The Queen was received by Colonel Eden,. commanding the garrison, and was conducted over . the hospital at Fort Pitt, and afterwards minutely inspected a large party of invalids recently returned from the Crimea and the colonies. Her Majesty then inspected the invalids at Brompton Barracks . and the Casenoates, and went over the Marine Hospital. Nearly one thousand sick and wounded men were seen by the Queen, who kindly questioned many. of those who had [elf-, fered most severely as to the actions in which they had , been - wounded, and the nature of their injuries. .OXFORD COMXIEMORATION.—On Wednesday, the Encmnia, or Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors to the Uni versity, took place, according to annual custom,. in.the Shel donian Theatre. The doors were thrown open 6COII after ten o'clock, and in a very short .space of time every part of the theatre was well filled. The upper gallery was crowded with undergraduates, and the usual outburst cf health and spirits evinced itself. The name of the Queen was received with a shout loud and hearty. On the arrival of the Chancellor (Lord Derby), accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor, heads of houses, doctors of divinity, lava, medicine, and music, the con vocation was. opened.

Parry, Esquire, Chester, his lordship's secretary, on or before Monday, the 20th day of August at the latest, after which day none will be received except under special cir cumstances. CONSECRATION.—The new church at Willaston, in the parish of Neston, Cheshire, was consecrated by the Bishop on Thursday, it has been erected especially for the accom modation of the inhabitants of the township of Willaston, who have hitherto had no church within three miles of them. The church contains 200 sittings, of which 154 are entirely free and unappropriated. It will be endowed with the tithes of the township of Willaston by the Rev. R. W. Gleadowe, the vicar of Neston, who has given, them up for the purpose, with the consent of the Dean and Chapter of Chester- the patrons of . the living. It is also proposed to rai s e a f un d for its additional endowment, towards which purpose a handsome sum has been already collected, and was considerably increased by a collection made after a sermon by the Bishop on the occa sion of the Consecration. It is proposed forthwith to assign the township of Willaston as a district to the new church, which, will then become a distinct incumbency in the patronage of the Vicar of Neston ; at present it is simply a chapel of ease to be served by a stipendiary curate. The church is a re markably neat and commodious structure, and has been very substantially built of stone found in the immediate neigh bourhood. THE Convocation of the prelates and clergy of the province of Canterbury stands prorogued to Thursday, June 28, not to Friday, June 29. THE REV. SAMUEL SIMM has been appointed to succeed the Ven. Archdeacon Cowper as chaplain to the Australian Agri cultural Company, in New South Wales, diocese of Newcastle. LAST WEEK the daily service at St. Paul's Cathedral, which has been suspended for some time past in consequence of repairs, &c., was resumed, and will take place. at ten o'clock in the morning and half-past two in the afternoon, until further notice. THE barque Jane Morice, with the Bishop of Natal and other passengers on board, was in latitude 22 degrees south and longitude 29 degrees 10 minutes west on the 16th of April all safe and well. LIE great and material alterations in the interior of Lan caster Church, which have long been in contemplation, are en the eve of being effected. The whole of those unsightly erec tions; the north, north-west, and the organ galleries are to be removed; and the organ itself, which will receive considerable additions, will be brought down to within five or six feet. from the floor, ErPon.Ts are now snaking by the Bishop of Sodor and Man to erect a cathedral chapel at Bishop's Court, Isle of Man, as a centenary memorial to Bishop Wilson. If the bishop suc ceeds in this endeavour, it is further contemplated (as the Manks Church is at present with difficulty supplied with clergy) to connect with it a limited staff of deacons to be under training for the practical work of the ministry, this bein g Bishop Wilson's own plan for securing a succession of clergy in this diocese. For carrying out this desirable object a committee has been formed, consisting of the Revs. Hugh Stowell, H. Montagu Villiers, R. Oreenall, John Keble, J. J. Hornby, and J. Slade; Lord Robert Grosvenor, J. W. Paten, M.P., Sir William Page Wood, Sir William Heathcote, H. Hoare, Esq., and J. Nark land, Esq. About £I,OOO has already been subscribed. WORKMEN engaged in taking down Culford Church, Suf folk, in removing one of the monuments from against the east wall of the chancel, exposed to view a singularly curious and most interesting relic of church decoration of a very early period. It would appear from this discovery that the chancel was part of a Norman church, and had been lighted not only by the great east window, as it is commonly termed, bat by two small loop lights, one on either side of it, deeply splaying in the interior. The recesses or niches thus formed, and now re-opened, had been decorated by paintings on the plaster and, stone-work, representing in roundels or medals various inci dents from the legendary history of the Romish Church. Three of these roundels are placed in the head and sides of each recess, and are for the most part in admirable preserva tion, the figures being very distinct a n d th e co l ours a l most as fresh as when painted in the twelfth century. They refer apparently to the history of St. Barbara. RESTORATION OF PRESTON CILTIRCIL—On Thursday, this fine edifice, which has just been rebuilt, was reopened for the first time for divine service, :when the church was densely crowded. The mayor and town council attended in -their robes of office. Full cathedral service was performed, and the sermons, both morning and evening, were preached by, the Rev. William Pollock, M.A., Incumbent of St. Mark's, Liver pool. The great object of the Vicar of Preston, the Rev. John Owen Parr, who was chiefly instrumental in having the old edifice demolished, and the present noble structure erected, was to do away with the pew system, and throw open the whole of the seats to the public, to whom he contended they belonged. , In this he has succeeded, due respect having been had to pew owners who have been fully compensated, and the town of Preston may now boast of possessing one of the finest specimens of ecclesiastical architecture in the country. The new edifice is large enough to accomodate upwards of 3,000 individuals. ONE admirable effect has been produced by the refusal of Fier Majesty's Ministers to grant the usual Royal Letter for maliing collections for increasing the funds of the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Re pairing of Churches and Chapels. On Thursday last, by the kindness of the Sub-Dean and Chapter of Westminster, a festival service was performed, with the assistance of portions of the choirs from the Chapel Royal, St. George's, Windsor, and St. Paul's Cathedral. The anthems selected were highly appropriate, beautiful in themselves, and admirably executed. A powerful sermon was delivered by the Bishop of Oxford, and a collection made, which, with a gift afterwards eoatri bated, amounted to above 1;280, This is a good starting point. in the refusal of the Royal Letter two points are especially worthy of notice. First, it disregards a promise made by the Secretary of State, in introducing the act which incorporated this society, by which it was to be enabled to add to its former objects that of repairing dilapidated Churches, and supplying, by its grants, the place of briefs formerly issued in the name of the Sovereign. Secondly, the Queen is patron of the society. Yet we have been assured, on excel lent authority, that whe n th e l a t e P r i mate was requested to appply iu the proper quarter f or a su b scr i pt i on from Her Ma jesty, his reply was that he had been forbidden to do so. Have Her Majesty's Ministers, then, prevented the perform ance of an act of grate on the part of their royal mistress, both as regards her private bounty and the exercise of her priYilege to authorise the making of public collections?— Guardian.
