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. WAR 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 COM3IITTEE.— At 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. From 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 01? THE ELLEN RADFORD.-011_ Monday, Mr. Henry Follett, of Sheldon, Devonshire,-launched a sp - fendid 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 fcr 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 off the ways in gallant style. She is considered a perfect model. We hear Mr. Follett is about to blind another ship about 100 tons larger for the same owners, in addition to a ship he is building for a Liverpool house of about 700 tons burthen. ASSAVLT AND ATTEMPTED RODDERY.—Jeremiah O'Brien was brought 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 office, in Castle-street, where his employer takes daguerreotype likenesses, when the prisoner came up to him, and after inquiring the price of a photograph, suddenly male 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-buildings, the prisoner was caught. After some remarks on the case by Mr. S. Helme, the prisoner was fined £5, or, in default, imprisoned for a month. - - WILLIAM CLEASDALE, an apprentice in the employ of a printer, in Duke-street, was charged at the Police-court, on Saturday, with assault. —Mrs. Breedham, the wife of a deck gateman, stated that she was going along South 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 policemen 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 " leek," and that the plaster " was made of printers' ink." Mr. Holme said such "larks" were rather dangerous, and he must either pay :a fine of 20s. or go "to -prison for a month. , P , OREIGN SHIPPING}.—A return has.just been made, from the office of the Comptroller-General of the Customs, in Lon ;don, of the sums paid under the Act 59 Gee. 111., c. 54, and 'subsequent Treasury orders, in the years -1953 and 1854, for the difference 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 rateeas - British vessels, specify - _hag. on what account thes.ame was paid, whether for light dues, dock dues, dues on ships or merchandise e pilotage, or otherwise. It appears, from this-return, that the saw so paid to the Liver pool Pilots' Company for pilotage was £7,782 lls. 3d. in 1858, and £8,589 13s. 3d. in 1854; and to the Corporation of Liver pool, for anchorage, £24 Bs. 6d. in 1853, and £25 75. - in 1854. LIVERPOOL TRADE AND SHIPPINC4.—A return has .just been issued, on the motion of Mr. Horsfall, 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 porteof Liverpool was 4,493, the aggregate-ton-• nage being 2,190,404 tons; and the number which cleared outwards was 4,551; tonnage, 2,161,265. The declared value ext orted from this port was £46,719,177; or more than double that of the exports of London, and more than half of the-value of the whole exports of the twelve ports - inchided iuthe re turn, which, besides Liverpool and London, embraces Hull, Bristol, Newcastle, Southampton, Leith, Glasgow, Greenock, Dublin, Cork, and Belfast. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The weekly board was held on Wednesday. It was resolved, " That inasmuch -Z.; the Coroner has refused to forward a. copy of the depositions to the guardians, thea.vidence adduced before this board with refe rence to the complaint which = has' been preferred by Major Greig againstltir. James Johnson, one of the medical -.officers of-the union, in the case of John. Wright, does not justify. them in expressing any opinion'upon.the•' alleged- -neglect . ti, - ques tion." A letter having been received from the Poor-law Board, enclosing a copy of a complaint against Mr.l3...Mauds lay Latham., one of the relieving olEcers of this union, it was resolved that the same be referred to Mr. 'Latham, with a re quest that he would furnish the beard, at their next meeting,. with a reply in writing. The quarterly bills of the union amounted to upwards of £4,000. The number of paupers in the house 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 daring the week was 3,614, an increase of. 817 upon the corresponding week of last year. The total amount expended in out-door relief was £200.145. Bd.

Rector Campbell, the resolution was referred, back.—Mr. Thomas Owen and Mr. William Bairetow were elected members of the board. • - THE CHARITABLE TRITETS ACT.—On Friday, a meeting of the trustees of the Liverpool Royal Infirmary was held in the board-room, Edward --Gibbon : -- ki'sq„ in the chair. The object was to petition parliament against eertain clauses in the Cha ' ritable Trusts - 13111, , which, if carried, will have the effect of bringing the institution under the control of: the Charitable Trust Commissioners. A petition was submitted and approved of, which sat out that, should the proposed bill pass into a 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 affairs were managed and its funds expended, and with a confidence which it could not be hoped would be extended to. those who were uncazinected with the locality—strangers adile , to its interests and its wants. it iurther represented that there would. be. great-risk of depriviug.Such institutions of the services of gen tlemen aetirely engaged in their management, Who looked for no reward bat success in their voluntary labours, and the con tinued approbation of the public, on whom they were dependent for their funds. . The oxpense 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 induEs Lord Ravensworth to present it to the House of Lords. It was also agreed that, if neces sary, the chairthan 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 MILLOWNERS AND SIIOCT TIAI.E.—The exceedingly unsatisfactory position'of the market is at length. forcibly di recting attention to the necessity for the adoption of short time. At PreSten severnl millowners 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 peen. These are places in which the - requipite . steps have teen taken, and - We 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 at its preSent rate, whilst with so large a prodnctien 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, it 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 out-door labour is plentiful, rather than hi the winter, when other occupation cannot readily be obtained. —Manchester Courier.

THE EARLDOM OF SOUTHESIL—The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to reverse the attainder at present resting on the.earldom of Southesk. Some years age a petition was pre sented to their lordships by Sir James Carnegie, claiming that title, which was dismissed by the Committee of Privileges on the ground of an attainder, but, Her Majesty having since been pleased to signify her assent to the reversal of that attainder, this bill was brought in for the purpose. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' BILL.—Lord FORTMA.N moved the second reading of this bill. The House of Commons, after three special committees of inquiry, had agreed to the present bill, which it was anticipated would work well and satisfactorily to the societies.—Lord RATENSWORTII 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 dis Satisfaction. 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. • _ _ Their lordships adjourned at ten minutes past six o'clock.

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 BROUGHAM said, the Russian goverernent 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 OP MERCHANT STEAMERS RILL.—The Earl of HARDWICKE in moving the second reading of this bill said, it was not intended to make any change in the pre sent law of tonnage, but 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 100c001bs might be taken as within the average.—Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, opposed the motion, which, on a 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 income-tax Continuance Bill and the Cinque Ports Bill were read a third time and passed.—The Duchy of Lancaster Lands Bill and the Militia (No. 2) bill :passed through committee.—The Consolidated Fund (B 10,000,000) Bill and the Spirit of Wine Bill were nada se cond time. _ The house adjourned at a quarter-past seven o'clock, The Assizes and Sessions Bill was read a second time after some discussion, in which the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell took part.—The Weights and Measures Bill passed through committee.—The Church Patronage Trans fer Bill was reported, with amendments.—The Edinburgh Lands Bill was read a second time.—The Stamp Duties Repeal on Matriculation and Degrees (Oxford) Bill passed through committee.—The Charitable Trusts (1855) Bill was reported, with amendments.—The Grant of Lands Bill and'the Public Libraries and Museums (Ireland) Bill passed through com mittee.—The Duchy of Lancaster Lands (1855) Bill was read a third timernd passed.—TheConsolidated Fund (e. 10,000,000) Bill and the Spirit of Wine Bill passed through•emmittee.

Ultimately the house went into committee, and three clauses having been agreed to, further proceedings were adjourned. Tan SEAT OF WAIL-4n answer to a question, Mr. WllsoN said that the attention of the Postmaster-General had been directed to the subject of -establishinga money-order office at . Constantinople and in the - Crimea, 'facilitate the trans mission of small sums thence to this country, but it was found that the regularity necessary for effecting , tach an arrange ment could not be secured in regard to a camp that might be in motion. THR-AaCTIC EXPEDITION.—Mr. MARIN-I'7ON moved for a select committee to inquire into the circumstances of the expedition to the Arctic .Seas, commanded by Captain M'Clure, with a view to ascertain whether any and what reward may be due for the Services rendered on that occasion. He justified bis motion by referring to a precedent in 1834, when a select committee was appointed to consider the servicestrendered by Sir James2oss, and by contrasting the importance, in respect to humanity as well as econom:-, of the discovery of a north west passage, in comparison with the barren discovery of Boothia.—Lord PALItIEF.BTON- 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 which had so long-excited the intense anxiety of maritime nations. — The motion was agreed to. . A motion for certain papers relating to thebuilding erected for the Lancaster shot manufactory at Woolwich was agreed to. CONSOLIDATION OF THE 'STATUTE Lb-W. - Mr. LOCEE KING moved a series of resolutions referring-to the appoint ment, in .1852, of a paid commission to proceed without delay in the work of the consolidation of the statute law, and to the fact that no bill for the repeal of expired, obsolete, or unne cessary statutes, as recommended in a report of the commis sion, had yet 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 which the special and detailed report.shall form-the ground ernfmortellzbituht a pr t e e p r a s r n e m d. e — d T is h cn e ssin mo n ti l o v n as w ea as rri o e p d p l os y ed 4s b tn y the . work," were no longer to be delayed, an d th a t-s uc h bill ought g th o SA‘ , l_,E OF 41131.1 COMMISSION-S.—A motion by Mr. HEAD LAM for a committee to consider an address to Her Majesty, prayiv, that she would be pleased to direct alterations to be made in the rules iu the military service, to the effect that the regulation yalue of the commissions of officers in the army, dying or having, died in active service during the present war, might he paid to their representatives and deemed part of their . I..,arsonal estate, was after some discus sion withelrawn. _ _ The Juices of Fe»OOO Qualification Bill passed. through committee.' The House adjourned :4. half•past 10 o'clock. LIVERPOOL An) BIEICE,EREA.D DOCKS.—Mr. Housy.s.nz moved that the Liverpool Docks and the Birkenhead and Liverpool Docks (Trust Property of .Birkenhead Dock Trus tees, eze.) Bills, as amended, be considered on Thursday, Amended prints having been deposited on Tuesday.—Xr. FITZROY, as chairman of .committees, opposed the motion. The report on these bills was fixed by the standing orders for consideration on 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 time.—Mr. S. FITZGERALD thought that this was a peculiar case, 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 Rollie 'of 'Lords before the 10th of 'July, the latest date for receiving bills there, in order that they might be passed this session.—Mr. - WALPOLE , 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. HoREFALL consented to withdraw his motion, which was accordingly done. MARRIAGE L,s.w.—The House of Comnxins having re solved itself into a committee upon the Marriage Law Amend ment Bill, Sir F. DIESIGER moved an amendment of the first clause, the effect being to take away the retrospective opera tion of the bill. In an elaborate argument, he contended'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. HtiwooD 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 the 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." His 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 with any 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 explanation was 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 99. Clause 3 was found so full of difficulty that further, proceedings were adjourned. A nunsuccE xchange essfattemptul and Ivas Promissoryade to Notesgo The Administration of Oaths Abroad Bill was read a second intoßill.

Mr. LINDSAY therefore gave notice that on Friday, on the motion for adjournment, he should take the opportunity of repeating the statement he had made with respect to the mismanagement of the Admiralty in 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 OF 1854.—The h)use 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) 811, 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 STFAKER 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 public 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. CRNSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT.-Mr. Rom:Tex gave notice that on the 3rd of July he should move the following resolution :—" That this house, deeply lamenting the sufferings of our army during 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 House.—Mr? DISRAELI asked whether Lord Palmerston would have any objection to state, en Monday next; the course which he intended to take with regard to the business of th e h ouse . There were at present 79 orders of the day; there were 38 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 ments; and three adjourned debates on matters of importance.— Lord PALMERSTON had no objection to state at once that there were several bills which the governinent 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 Sir J. PAEINGTON respecting the resumption of the adjourned debate on the Bill for Promoting National Education.—Mr. JOHN M`GnEcrou called attention to the expediency of re instituting the office of Secretary of State for Scotland.—The Loran-ArovocarE, remarking that the Scotch Education Bill stood the first order of the day, declined to folloW Mr. M`Gregor into his detailg.—Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, upon a notice to call attention to the present state of the transport service, entered upon a vindication of himself 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. Sir C. WOOD went minutely through all the charges brought by Mr. LINDSAY against the government authori 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 othera the fancy of Mr. Lirinsay, he thought; had overcome his memory, and in respect to one or two he -retorted upon that gentleman. The house having again 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 OF 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. BOUVERIE said, he retained the objections to this clause which he had .urged on a former occasion. 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 apply to the one it must equally apply to the other. He had received a communication from the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, the members of which, seeing the danger to the •shippinn. interest if such a law as this were pa sse d, expresse d .a hope that the house would not sanction the clause as at present worded.—Mr. CAIRNS said that one-half of the objections urged by the hon. gentlemen against the clause were mere matters of details, which could easily be removed, while 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 difkrent mercantile towns throughout the kingdom. Mr. TRORNELY opposed the clause.—Mr. HORSFALL said, the .meraberi 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 it.; and the house then resumed.. The Youthful Offenders (No. 2) Bill, and the Woollen, &c., Manufactures (Scotland) Bill were read a second time. Mr. CowpEn obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law.eoncerning the qualification of officers of the Militia ; and Mr.. J3ouvEuvz, a bill to repeal the stamp duty leviable on orders for payment of army prize money. The house adjourned at five minutes to 2 o'clock. COURT AND FASHION. EARS, 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 annual prize of £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 Prees. THE renowned Countess de Lavalette, daughter of the Mar gals de 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, whom she saved from the scaffold, in 1815, by her energy and pre sence of mind. Miss NIGETINGALE.—Mr. C. H. Bracebridge has sent from Scutari, under date of the 7th, a brief narrative of Miss Nightingale's labours at Balaklava, and her return to Scutari in Lord Ward's yacht. At tie • 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 Ba!a 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. Panlet, commandant; Dr. Cumming, inspector-general ' • and. Dr. ArGregor, 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 Iledeliffe. THE QUEEN went on Tuesday to Chatham, to inspect the invalids at the military barracks. Her Majesty 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 Casemates, 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 suf fered most severely as to the actions in which they had been wounded, and the nature of their injuries. OXFORD COIME.MORATION.—On Wednesday, the ERCanlia, 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 soon 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 of 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, law, medicine, and music, the con vocation was opened. The Chancellor then read over the names of the distinguished individuals on whom it was pro posed to confer the honorary degree of doctor of civil law, and as each name was mentioned more or less cheering . followed. After the list was gone through, the . bedels . retired to the divinity schools to usher in the proposed doctors, who, headed by the deputy professor of civil law (Dr. Somerset), walked in procession across the court leading from the divinity schools to the . theatre. The Chancellor put the names for the ap proval of the house in the following order, viz.:—The Hon. James Buchanan, minister of the United States ; Le Comte de Montalembert ; Sir John Beverley Robinson, Bart.; Lieut.- General Sir :John Fox Burgoyne, G.C.E.; Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans, K.C.8.; Sir William Gore Ousels, K.C.8.; ' Sir Charles Lyell Knight, F.R.S. ; Richard Monekthn lilnee aßury Esq., M.P._; Colonel Sabine, F.R.S. ; Thomas Gra ham, Esq..

TICE Stamford Mercury relates that a few days ago, at Nassingion, a woman found 2. swarm of bees, which she shook into her apron. She thus carried them to her home, a dis tance of nearly a mile, and there hived them. TUE Shrewsbury Chronicle relates that a few days back, while a man was rolling the cricket ground at Wem, with a large iron roller weighing upwards of two tons, a child about five years old, who was riding on it, fell. The roller passed over the child, who was immediately crushed to death. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. Rev. E. H.

IIII.TION.—The Bishop of Chester intends to hold his next Ordination at Chester, on Sunday the 23rd of September next. Candidates are required to send all their papers to Charles J. W. 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 Nestor', 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 propo s ed t o ra i se a fund 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 ceca 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. SAMUEL Summ 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 inconsequence 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. TILE great and material alterations in the interior of Lan caster Church, which have long been in contemplation, are on 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. • • EFFORTS are now making 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 being 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. Greenall, John Keble, J. J. Hornby, and J. Slade; Lord Robert Grosvenor, J.. W. Pat' en, M.P., Sir William Page Wood, Sir William Heathcote, H. Hoare, Esq., and J. Mark land, Esq. About £l,OOO has already been subscribed. WORKMEN engaged in taking down Cu'ford 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, hut 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 and the colours almost as fresh as when painted in the twelfth century. They _refer apparently to the history of St. Barbara. RESTORATION OF PRESTON CIIIIRCH.—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 Olsz admirable effect has been produced by the refusal of Her Majesty's Ministers to grant the usual Royal Letter for making 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 contri buted, amounted to above £2BO. 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 when the late Primate was requested to appply in the proper quarter for a subscription 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 grace on the part of their royal mistress, both as regards her private bounty and the exercise of her privilege to authorise the making of public collections?— Guardian.
