The House than went into Committee of Ways and Means, when certain formal resolutions were agreed to. The Dublin Police Bill passed through committee ; the Probates and Letters of Administration (Ireland) Bill passed through committee ; the Police Counties and Borough Law, as amended, was considered, and various clauses added. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the. Divorce Bill, which had come down from the Lords. Mr. INNNrssry 'opposed it mainly because Ireland was included in it, and because it contained the principles of the former Divorce Act, he moved an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Colonel DUNNE seconded the amendment. Mr. CARDWELL said the clause extending the bill to Ireland might be repealed in committee. - Lord NAAS would not consent to the second reading of the bill unless Government pledged themselves to withdraw the clause relating to Ireland.

CONSECRATION OF ST.

Evidence of the riot having been adduced, wit nesses were called to prove the . pulling down of portions of the chimneys, and also oft wall at the bottom of the yard, of the finding of a bed and some furniture on fire in one of the houses, and of the shouts of the rioters, declaring their intention of pulling the place down, and setting it on fire. On behalf of the hundred, it was submitted that there was no proof of .felonious demolishing, as required by the act. The magistrates finally stated that they were not of opinion that the mob went to the spot with a felonious intent to destroy the houses, and the cases must therefore be dis missed.

FRANCE: PARIS, August a A visit to the camp at St. Maur, where about 30,000 men are' under canvas, is the favourite excursion of the day. Nothing can exceed the eourtesy of both officers and men in showing .visitors over the camp, but the men themselves, and not the tents, are the great attraction. Most of the men are in capital condition. ' their- faces burnt black by the sun , but their uniforms are all in tatters, and are mended and patched in a way that would make a martinet coMmander's - hair stand on end. The stock; -not quite so formidable an instrument of torture . as • in our service, but still a great nuisance, is regu lation uniform with the line ; but I . obServed that the men have invariably discarded it, ~and sport . a variety of coloured neck ties, which gave them a free and easy picturesque appearance,. betraying the utmost disregard for " l'ordonance " and pipe clay,: Some of the men have, however, suf fered dreadfully from fatigue. They look worn, old, and sallow, and seem • more fit for the hospital than for the field. 'Men and officers speak in the bitterest terms of the Italians, who,they say, treated them more as enemies than allies, fleecing them. mercilessly, and showing great lukewarmness for the cause. .On my objecting to an officer that, nevertheless, " Les Baliens vont bien ate feu," he retorted, "Parbleu, ils sent toes fundstes !" (they are all chimney sweeps,) while the common soldier describes them in terms which show that there must 'have been little love lost between the allies. The Austrians are invariably spoken of with great re spect ; capital soldiers, but too slow. The Emperor and the Empress paid a visit to the Camp yesterday afternoon. They were received with enthusiasm. _ _ _ The Patric to-night confirms the suspicions I ven tured to express respecting the disarmament of the navy, lately announced in the Moniteur. The crews are simply to be dismissed, and the ships are to be laid in ordinary all standing. This is what the French call the pied de commission. Four frigates only, and several smaller vessels, are to be laid up at Toulon, and at Brest, Admiral Fourichon's squadron. I do not know the number of ships it consists of. The news from Italy is always bad. We are told by a semi-official organ that Prince Napoleon's corps, which is to remain in Italy, is only intended to pre serve order. The perfectly orderly and calm demea nour of the Duchies and the Roniagna, show that they deserve the boon of self-government, and this preservation of order is only a flimsy imetence. lam told on good authority that to_ justify more active interference, a Republican movement is to be got up, par ordre, in Tuscany.

Menneval, respecting the Italian confederation : " Pius IX. thanks the Emperor of the French for the interest which he unceasingly displays • for the Holy See and the person of the Pore. He regards as an instance of the Emperor's filial devotion the proposition relative to the honorary presidency of a confederation or Italian league, and he would not refuse that post without having . the most ample information respecting the engigements which would would result from it, and the relations which would exist between him and the various Italian sovereigns. When he has procured such information, he will be enabled to see whether catholic interests permit him to accept it. And in that case the pacification of Italy, and the return of its rebellious provinces, will naturally have to precede the establishment of that confederation and of the honorary presidency. Loss of THE SHIP " AEl3O."—An investigation has been ordered by the Board of Trade to be held in Dublin, before Frank Thorpe Porter, Esq., magistrate of the head office of police, assisted, by Captain Harris, the nautical assessor, into the circumstances connected with the loss of the Argo. Gammon and Excelsior were rival newspaper editors. Gammon's circulation g i v ing marked evidence of constitu tional de'.ility and general prostration, he considered it ad visable to imitate every successful more on the part of his neighbour. If Excelsior had giblet pie for dinner on Bun day, Gammon took t o giblets the Sunday followi ng . At length the successful competitor was observed standing on his head at his office door.. Ten minutes after this experi ment, the astonished crowd beheld Gammon turning his heels to the ceiling with his usual awkward efforts. "Don't be surprised," saiSa poser by; "it is well known that Gam mon has found it difficult to Mop ,ou his legs for a long time, and this is not the first time he . has turned round to kick against the light of heaven." „ .

Mr. Quekett, Rector of Warrington, read the offertory sentences. The collection amounted to £43 18s. 6d. After divine service, the clergy, with their friends, ad journed to St. Elphins, where the general annual business of the institution was transacted. At three o'clock the annual 'dinner took place in the Girl's National School, St. - Elphins. There were about 150 gen tlemen sat down. Lord Delamere, the president for the year, occupied the chair, supported on his right by the right reverend the Lord Bishop,of Chester ; the Rev. 11. N. Birch, M.A., Rector of Prestwich ; the Rev. W.

Amongst the laymen present were Messrs. Eden, Ramsay, and M'Noden, of Liverpool. The Lord Bishop of Chester said grace, and dinner being The CHAIRMAN rose and said, the first toast which he had the honour to propose to them was one that he was sure, in an assembly , of gentlemen such as he had around him at present, was one that not only needed no introduc tion, but they would consider it almost wrong if lie were to give them any elaborate introduction in asking them to drink her health. He begged to propose her Majesty the Queen. (Chears.) _ The toast of 'Prince Albert and the rest of the royal family was next proposed by the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN again rose and said, he wished to pro pose a toast that interested every member of that society They were well aware t- ie success of Cie society must, in a great measure, depend upon the way in which it was managed by those who undertook the duties attaching to officers, and therefore he was sure that they would not hesitate' to drink to the patrons of the society. (Cheers.) With the Bishop of Chester sitting on his right hand he could scarcely venture to say as much before his face as he would do if he were absent, but hr. was' satisfied from his own Cheshire experience, that there was no Cheshire clergy- man or layrnari'viho'iv6old not very cordially' extend to him every compliment which it was in t (Cheers.) leir power to give The Lord Bistiop of CHESTER, in rising tcv respond, was received with much cheering.

He thought he might say for MS own Cheshire clergymen, as well as him self, that their sisters at Manchester, from tie! sermon which they had that day heard, had made a most. admirable selection in the preacher of that day.

(Loud cheers.) He 'concluded by proposing the healta of the chairman, which was - drunk With lo'ud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said he felt that he did not deserve the warm.terms.im which the Lord Bishop had spoken of him; but this he, ould say,. that he would endeavour to deserve them to the uttermost. He had.been exczelingly happy to have been present at the society's meeting to-day.. lie hoped and believed. that such meetings would do a considerable amount of good,. because the union of the clergy and the laity, could not but be benelcial. What con tituted the church h'ad be'en much misunderstood. It had been said. that the Church , consisted only of the clergy, as though the church was not compose& of the blessed assembly of the faithful of all classes. ,(Cheers.): So far as he was personally called, he Was willing and ready to do as much! good as was in his power to pro Mote the interests of the church, and the , active union of clergy and laity. He hoped he should never . fail in symp4hy for the %lido*, the orphan, and the desolate. - Ike concluded by thanking them cordially for the compliment which they had paid him. The iniblAN again roe and said it was a yery fortu nate thing that the toasts which he had to ilitto'duce to. their notice were all of a inture to require very: little pre face, and the one which he, had now to Awing. befOre them would stand on its own merits, and would not require any words from him. It was the health of the predeher of the day. (Cheers) He thought that every one who had at tended the church, to-day, must regard it as-their own fault if they had not derivel benefit as well as eTatikation from the discourse which they had heard. (th e t chairman), considered that it was a most admirable Srerinoir, and he hoped it would be productive or good, and withe - ut paying a common cuckoo compliment, he. said that they . were, and that they ought to be, really grateful to the gentleman who. gave them such good advice. (Cheers.) . . _ The Rev. Mr.l3llten, after Warmly 'thanking the com pany for the kind manner in which they had received his name, referred in complimentary terms to the Bishop of Chester, and the pleasure he had felt when at college he was an under-graduate tinder his lordship. lie then said, that with a r n d d to he th b e eg s g errn ed oi t i o o t f ha th n e k d th ay e , gethentkdembtenwitwshio firsthis side , allon asked him to preach it, for it induced him to look the ques tion fairly in the face. He began to conside r w h a t rea ll y was the christian clergyman's duty. lie began to think and to feel what was right to be done, and it had led him to make the observations which had fallen from him in the sermon, In conclusion, he made some practical observa tions as to the manner in which the interests of the society might be promoted. The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said, this was the last toast that he had to offer to them ; and he was sure that it would not be the least welcome. It was " Succsss to the institution, and to the officers who took such great care of it." He was sure that the success of the institution would be well received by every gentleman amongst them. The claim of the widows and ophans of the clergy was one of the saddest that could be contemplated, and one that com manded itself instinctively to our better nature. The be reavement of the widow and orphan was sad on all occasions ; but it was more peculiarly so in the case of the widow and. orphans of a clergyman. The noble chairman reviewed the condition of the clergyman, and showed how much he was exposed to personal danger, and the consequent distress of his family in case of death. He showed how a - clergyman was called upon to visit the bedsides of the sick• under all circumstances and seasons, and the risks he ran during disease and epidemics of being suddenly taken away. We were all, he said, under God's will, and the man in the field of battle might be as safe as one of them in that room; but when there was disease, and the clergy man who was called in was struck down, there was no party who could have a greater claim noon their sym pathy than the widow and orphans of the soldier who perished in the cause of Christ. He felt that it was not only a duty, but a blessed privilege to have the opportunity of contributing* to such a society as this, and thus being en abled to relieve a certain amount of human misery. He expressed his opinion that the people of this country, from the Queen to thc- lowest subject in her dominions, would be found willing to support such a society, if its claims were fully laid before them, and concluded by proposing pros perity to the society. _ The Rev. Thomas Greenall i the treasurer, and the Rev. W. Quekett, rector of Warrington, the secretary, responded, and the proceedings terminated. -.- ..1.... A SON STABBED BY HIS FATHER,—At the Manchester Polie&court, on Tuesday, a tailor, named John M'Gannett, was charged with stabbing his son, a youth of seventeen or eighteen years. It appeared that the son had been living in a disreputable house in East-street, Lower Mosley-street; and on Monday night the father went fo fetch him home. lie refused to go home, struck his father,' 'and the two had a scuffle in the entry, from which the youth ran out bleed ing from a wound in the back. It was supposed . that he was stabbed with a pair of scissors, which were found,. somewhat stained with blood, in the prisoner's pocket.
