The case for the prosecution - closed late on Wednesday c night: The prisoner - manifested. the great est indifference •tho,whole day, and frequently smiled at the witnesses and spectators around him. . The pris,oner made a statement to the effect that he met a. than and a woman; the :former t.of whom asked him to exchange clothes. He did so, and slept with them in a shed, : but before he awoke in the morinng, they were - gone,' and he did *ncit-knoW ih what direetion they went. The man Was dressed. somewhat like. himself. He was a taller man than himself. Mr. Cole addressed the jury for the prisoner. His .Lordship slimmed up. ,The jury returned with'a verdict of guilty. His Lordship then assumed the black, cap, and sentenced the prisoner to death in the usual forth, and held out no hope that his sentence would • be commuted. • IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT ROUSE OF ,LORDS :ESTERDAY Earl it.EY :moved for, an estimate of the cost of the Chinese expedition to the close of the financial year 1860-61. .He: declaimed against the expense, " and the r6sult of the war, and asked what, we 'were, .to get by burning Chinese citiesl and declared that every' blow struckat China would. be felt by ourselves. The Duke of SomEr.nET said that no one could read, the account of • the transaction at the Peiho.witho• feeling that the outiacre was premeditated, and it was necessary to punish it. It was impossible t 6 franie a' 'correet'estimate . at present, but the cost for the present year would not• exceed £850,000. The .Earl of MAL'ILESBURY defended the policy of the late, Government in the matter, and accused' Mr. Bruce of undue precipitation with regard to the 'ratification of the treaty. • The Earl. of' ELGIN defended the conduct of Mr. Bruce, who would have. incurred grave responsibility if, he had acted otherwise. He urged the necessity' of 4ilhering to that article of the treaty which gave .us the privilege of an ambassador at Pekin ; and believed• that' the probable expense of the expedition had .heenmuch• exaggerated. He trusted that concessions on the part of the. Chinese would• render hostilities needle's's. The Earl of ELLENBOROirciIi, said that the new mis sion could not be in better hands than those of his noble friend ; and trusted that by. his means peace would be secured- without further bloodshed. He looked with horror on a .new war, with China ; believing a war for the purpose of making money utterly indefensible. The motion was withdrawn.• . Earl DE GREY, in reply to the Earl` o' Camperdown, said that experiments would shortly be made to test the merits of the Whitworth gun. Their lordships adjourned at ten minutes to eigh HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY, The Speaker took, the chair, at four o'clock. In•reply to Mr. Egerton, Lord J., :Russgia. ;said. that ; no, suppletental treaty had been concluded with France with reference to the duties on goods imported from this country into France. In reply to Mr. Longfield, Lord 'J. 'RUSSELL, said that the San Juan question was ,approaehing a termination ; and , that meanwhile the Amid ,Was occupied jointly by one hundred British marines and one hundred American soldiers: On the motion for adjournment till Monday, Mr. WEITESIDE called the attention of the House to the recent appointnient of Mr. Lyle, at present 'Receiver ,Master of the Court of Chancery . in. Ireland, to the dignity of Lord,Lieutenant: of the county of London derry,' and to" the' eirctinstancea - tinder *'Which such appointment was made. This appointment was made for political reasons' in connection with the pending dee tiou.s. It was most unprecedented to appoints, pensioner' of•thaCrown to such a . Post. Mr. Lyle was not,, either by ,fortune or position t .natitled•to such a 'post . ; and he protested most vehetnently ag4inst the • appOintment, which was further made. for, the purpose of creating a vacancy, to, be,filled ,up by partisans of :the Government at the Dublin election. He asked if these were the prin ciples on which Ireland was to be governed. If so, .good government was impdisible. Mr. CAnnwp...4 observed that there wa s no peer or son • _ _ _ of a peer qUalified for the post' A gentleman had been selected of unblemished churacter _and,. he believed, of considerable landed - property, -taking great interest in the affairs of the connEY. He denied that any-gentle man was unfitted for the post.tbettause he held 'political opinions. Mr. Lyle was not; he believed, a supporter of the GoVernnient candidate at the present election. Mr. Cardwell then defended himself from the charge of _negligence in introdticing Irish measures, declaring that he urged them for Ward with as much haste as possible. Measures on the -Foor LaW and the. Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages were in preparation. Sir F. admitted the respectability of Mr. . Lyle, but thought that manTwell qualified persons in the county had been passed. over iii,favOur of one who had fewer claims. . t Lord FERMOY said. the House, was greatly indebted to Mr - Whiteside for bringing forward this question. Mr. Lyle might.be an excellent officer of the Chancerf; and if he had,donehia duty in his Office, .he could not have acquired that thorough knowledge of local 'affairs _ _ to qualify him for, ,the responsible post of Lord-Lieu tenant.: He wordd not include ,politidal motives in such an appointment, when the persons were otherwise equally qualified If these Were to''be the' principles, of government in Ireland, they would lose the confidence of the independent party } without gaining the confidence of then. extreme, party., .As to Irish business, only these measures , had been introduced, and they had. as yet only got through as far as the second reading. There was' the Endowed Schools bill ; Education in Ireland (a monstrous job); and yet the Government abstained from dealing with it ; there was the Fairs and lfurkets Bitt Had anything been : done with that impediment to justice in the: country, the Ecclesiastical Courts... Thile they were neglecting public interests in Ireland, the country was slipping from them, and they were losing . the support of the Independent party; and then-some •foreign minister would be sending over a despatch calling them to appeal to the opinion of the country as to Whether' it should or should ;not preserve its connection with England. EipcE inquired what the intentions of the AlO - einmen.t were with reference to the report of the commissioners of inquiry as to the .corrupt practices at Wakefield ? Sir G. GREY said that the course which the Govern ment intended to•adept was to recommend the. House to suspend thp writs for Gloucester and Wakefield during the ,present-Parliament:— • •- - • Mr. ADDERLEY asked -what ! were the intentions of .Government as to a,hetter appointment-of -expenses for the defence of ticie,„colonics between , the Imperial and Colonial , Treasurio..?? • lie contende4 the'pOlonies did not, pay; ,tbeir 'clue share of the •leapeitse of the g,arrisohs,.. which weakeired" the British force and only injured the colonies, by preventing them taking due ,measures% for our defence. Ire wished to know if the report of the arm` commission on. 'the -sub ject would ,be reduced, and if any objection would be J , •• made by the Crolexweentrto the appcittffient of a select 'orninittee ? • • Mr. MAGuqtE ealldd - attention to a petition from certain Polish refugees, who, after having served under the British GOvernment in the Crimean war, had been scandalously misused, never having reeeived their proper pay. TTe :appealed earnestly to the Secretary at War to Mr. S. IfEnnawr, in, reply to Mr. Adderley, said that though he had general objections.to produce the reportp of such commissions, in this particular case he did riot object to prod4ce it. In reply to Mr.: Maguire, he. admitted the destitute condition of these Poles,,but they had no claim whateVer on the. Government. Sir R. PEEL' called attention to the position of Switzer land with reference to the„recent annexation of Savoy to France. In the a4nal enibarrassed state of Europe, the House ought not to lose any time in giving its opinion on the actual position of affairs ; and be hoped that they might, by their sympathy, save Switzerland from her difficulty, in which, he firmly belieVed, she was greatly menaced. ife declaimed against the un-English conduct of Mr. Bright, whn did not; in this proceeding, represent the feeling of the people of England. As regarded the Government, his only wish was tb strengthen their hands in the present emergency. The views expressed by Lord .1 Fussell on a preyions evening had greatly increased the confidence of the country in the Government. It W - ai , said that a very 'spirited answer had been sent to ThouVenel. Why were they not informed what that spirited answer was? He called on the. (government to let them know what their foreign policy NP'll.9.- We had too long and too credulously listened to the Emperor of the French.' He should be sorry if the Government adopted a war policy.- Still it was the duty of the Hotis t e to strengthen their hands. Though appearances were against themi, they had, he was assured, acted on good faith, but had been groSSly deceived by France. Could the EmPerOr, after having plunged his country into a course of aggression and aggrandiseuient, keep back a people who had nowfelt the lust and excitement of con pest. He denied that either England or Europe were apathetic in the matter. Russia, it was true, was occu pied ''with her internal affairs ; but Prussia had shown herself deeply, interested. Austria was hampered by financial difficulties, but her sympathies were evidently favout'of SWitzerland, as were those of Germany. He deeply regretted that Fraot:,e, ,whieb 44 seemed so disinterested in , the Italian war, had all ,along the inteltion of demanding provinces, of which the inde pendence was absolutely necessary to the . ..rAndePendence of SfritZerla.nd. lie protested against the conduct of Prance in seizing Savoy in dehance of national, feeling, and of .all her own declarations. He disproved from history the assertion that the traditions of France were in favour of .the annexation of Savoy. He contended that the King of Sardinia had;no riglit-whatever to yield Saver to France. Francchad bought all the newspapers in Savoy and thus misrepresented the opinion of the 'country. Wa.s it worth while to give liberty to Italy, an/ to take it at the same time from SWitzerland and Savoy? The Swiss question was totally different from : tl l i : e cee, , cai Saivoed, y question, and of more importance ;' it followed kis es an pe. immediate consequence of the annexation.'iy Fa i upoi Government to protest, in the most energetic Manner, against the conduct pursued cially in reference to the neutralised province s . The subject here dropPed, no minister' speaki ng i n reply, .-On the motion' that - the inCome-tax, as amended, be considered, . Colonel DENSE moved that the tax be reduced' from 10d. to"od., contending that the prosperity of Ireland had been greatly overrated, and that the' present year was especially gloomy.. • • • The CnAiictixon of the Ex.ciasuEn 'defended his proposal on the ground of necessity. The motion was nentived without a division. Mr. WILLIA.ms moved that incomes under £l5O be exempt from the tax. Some discussion ensued upon this point, on which it was recommended that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the bearing or the tii:! ' The CHANCELLOR of. the ExcitEciumt admitted th, inequalities of the tax, but said that he had . no intention, of proposing any inquiry. If the House desired such Inquiry, he should not object.

Mr. DISIc LI 'pointed out the' indonsistent'y of Mr. gladstone's past professions and : present conduct. , Of ail inen, who had'so often declared that the tax ought to be abolished ; but, when the time arrived for redeem-' big the pledge,! increased the tax, and applied to other objects the money which might haye enabled 'thèth to diminish it... , . . The motion was•negative4 by 174 to 24—majority 150 The bill was,tben ordered for third reading. The Stamp Duties Bill, as. amended,' ivai. considered. Mr. BENTINCK moved the omission to clause 17, legalising time bargains. . . Mr. E.

Mr. ITUBBA RD thought that time bargains should have been legalised by a separate bill: Mr, Burr observed that the bill was a , Money bill, and that' if the House of Lords ,were .to strike out .the clause the bill would be lost. , . .. . The CHANCELL6R or the EXCHEQUER said that the clause had been proposed by the Stock Exchange. He was' tleadY to, omit' it for the purpOse off' bringing in a bill. . After some emsrlcs from Mr. Henley, Lord PALMERSTON said that acts rendering bets on races illegal, had been repealed, and these transactions stood in the same category, After some further discussion, the clause was struck out.

The declaration is to the; following effect:— " We, the undersigned clergy of the United Church of England and Ireland, thankfully acknowledge the increase of zeal and activity which has of late been shown in the Church of England, but. deplore that her energies are greatly hindered by th e w a n t o f an episco pate at all adequate to the present spiritual needs of the people. Whereas, the population of England • and Wales has inc rease d da r i ng t h e l ast 300 years from about 4,Q00,000 to nearly 20,000,000; and. whereas the present number of the clergy is about 18,000 — and it ,is calculated that they are increasing at the rate of 300 a year—the number of bishops has remained the same with the addition of one only..ye believe that opportunities of more frequent personal intercourse between a bishop and the clergy and laity of his diocese, .and the more frequent administration of the holy rite of confirmation would tend to infuse new life and vigour into the church, and to promote unity, consistency, and efficiency in the labours of those who are working for the salvation of souls; and, judging as well, from the experience of former ages as from the happy results which have attended the extension of the episcopate in the British colonies, we confidently antici pate• similar advantages from the extension of the episcopate at home.
