THIS BISHOP OF CAPE TOWN AND DR COLE/ISO.
—From the South Africa's Adeertiaer of the 18th April
we learn that the rural deans of the diocese have, in an ad-
dress to the Bishop of Cape Town, expensed a desire that ,
measures should be taken to test the soundness of the opi-
nions published by Dr. Coleus, and their compatibility with
his retention of his high ads. The bishop, in reply to an
address from the clergy, says You intim►te your in-
tention of bringing the teaching which he has put forth to
the test of ► formal trim'. I need scarce say, that if, after
full consideration of the subject, you still feel that you
ought to frame articles against the bishop, and present him
for his writings, I shall feel it my painful duty to cite him
to appear before myself and such other bishops of this wide-
spread provisos as can be gathered together,. to answer to
the charges which shall be brought against his"
FATAL RAILWAY ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening
Dr. Lobster held an inquiry at the Royal Free Hospital,
respecting the death of Yr. William Kennedy Bayley, aged
59 yeses. Deceased was a barrister, and a member of the
Reform Club. Oa Ifoodey last he arrived at the King's.

riages sad the platform, and catching in a wheel, by which
he was dragged some distance, his head repeatedly striking
the pound with viols's. He was as soon as possible re-
leased, sad ecuir-,sed to the hospital, where he died. The
Coroner remar►ad upon the folly and danger of passengers
leaving trains while in motion, and the jury returned •
verdict of " Accidestal death."

INDIA.

On the 15th ult. the Viceroy of India and COM
mender-in-Chief were wending their way toward
the Himalayas, visiting all the large stations en
route. They were at limbslla the end of March,
where Lord Elgin held a durbar which was
numerously attended by native princes and chiefs,
whom he addressed in a speech said to have been
the happiest effort of that kind made by him
during his viceregal progress. His excellency and
Sir Hugh ROW will, it is reported, silt Sanawar
and the other hill sanitaria lying adjacent to their
line of march, before going to Simla.
The frontier disturbances so long prevalent on the
north-west frontier of Bengal are subsiding fast.
We hear but little about them now.
The Madras A thenaunt, of Aprills, says :

The finances, as mentioned in our last overland paper,
Sourish beyond what even the most sanguine calculators
reckoned on, and a late government return shows that the
currency notes are forcing their way more and more into
circulation. On the ZiOth of April, 1862, there were
four crores and forty laths of them in use,
thirty of which belonged to this presidency. Since
that date, the last-mentioned amount has been more than
doubled. We are all now on the tiptoe of expectation to
learn the nature of Sir Charles Trevelysn's budget, nothing
certain about which has been suffered to creep out. It is
generally believed, however, that several millions of the
Dash balances will be appropriated to the paying off
of debentures shortly falling due. Ru-nour has
spoken of other reductions of the Indian debt.
and a good deal of speculation in government paper
was the result, but the best informed parties at Calcutta do
not appear to credit that story ; which has, however, led
the native community to run the Four per Cents. up to par,
or even a shade above it. Sir Charles is understood to be
desirous of interfering with the present currency arrange-
ments in a way which will be very prejudicial to the inte-
rests of the three presidency hanks, and we fear to those of
the public likewise, if the crotchetty designs imputed to
him are really entertained.

THE MAIL PACKET CONTRACTS. •

Mr. DUNLOP asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether he proposed to take oa Monday the votes for those
mail packet services for which new contracts bad been re-
cently entered into, without laving previously kid upon
the table these coetracts, in acoordanoe with the resolutions
of the Donee of the 24th July, 18410
Mr. PEEL replied that as fall provision bad been made
in the contracts to secure the control of the house. the pro-
duction of them on Monday would not be necessary. How-
ever, as they were new, he only intended to take votes on
account until they were laid on the table, except in the awe
'of the Dover contract.

Sir S NORTHCOTE was understood to ask whether if
vets were moved on second., it would be competent for a
member to move the omission of the qualific►tion respect-
ing Mr. Ohurchward's contract, and if such member should
be successful, would the government accept the decision of
the house is decisive of the omission of the qualification
➢lr. PEEL could not say whether it would be competent
for say member to make such a motion, but if it were made
and Win successful the government would accept it as
decisive.
THE IRISH CHARITIES.

Mr. BLARE asked the Chumsllor of the Exchequer
whether he intended witbr:rawing resolution 18 io ways and
means, relative to imposing legacy duty on bequests in-
tended for charitable purposes in Ireland ; and it Dot, on
what day after the Whitsuntide ream ha would be likely to
move the mid resolution.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that
having withdrawn the proposal for levying income tax on
the English charities Le did not propose to cbarge legacy
duty on the Irish charitable bequests. (Hear, hear.)

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Charles Ooodburn and Croteher were indicted for
conspiracy. The case bas been before the Court since
Thursday morning, and was proved to be as follows
The prosecutors are Menus. Beton, Lang, and Campbell,
ILincing.late, colonial brokers, and the prisoners had been
in their service, Goodbarn for 30 years, at a salary of 500 L
a year, as cashier and accountant, and the other prisoner was
what is termed market clerk, at a salary of 4001. 800.
after Crowther bad become their clerk, he introduced them
tore Mr. Barber, • salt.retiner, of Jamain-level, Bermondsey,
and the prosectors were to supply him with rough saltpetre,
and an noderetanding was come to that be was never to be
indebted to the firm in a larger sum than 5001., and they
were then to hold warrants of is for a rum slightly above
that amount. The prisoner Goodborn had the entity
management of the warrant department, and the proem-a-
ton never looked into the matter of the moonlit until last
year, and then only in consequence of its being found that
Barger was sailing saltpetre as the market through other
brokers. As inquiry was then instituted, and it appeared
that during the last ten years Barber's accoent bad, through
the of the two pneoners, been allowed to increase to
7,6001., and that the assets to meet it only amounted to
9001., the warrants upon which the property bad been eb.
tined having been purloined by the prisoners.
The case was was not concluded when the court rose.
Included in the indictment there was also a charge for de
frauding the Exchange Insurance Fire-office, and in this
instance it would appear that the prosecutors had some
large consignments of saltpetre lying at Cotton's-wharf when
that place was destroyed by fire, and that when the psi.
wooers sent in the claim it was for MI. wore than they
were entitled to. On learning this the prosecutors refunded
the amount. _ _

LORD LIWNOX AND TEM ITALIAN PREM.—In

THE RUSSIANS LI CIEC.ASSIA.

Viscount RATICRAII asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether her Majesty's government were aware of cer-
tain outrages that had recently been committed by Rumba
troops on the Circassian tribes of the eastern shores of the
Black Sea, with which were combined an insult to her
Majesty ; and whether her Majesty's government were pre-
pared to support those clauses of the treaty of Park which
provide for the free navigation of the Black Sea in the eases
of certain vessels which are about to trade with Quassia.
The outrages to which he more particularly alluded had
been committed by Russian troops ou a Circassian village
dozing the absence of the young men at the coast. Three
old men, eighteen women, and eight children were herba-
-1 rowdy slaughtered, sod on the bodies of some of them in.
scriptions were placed of the most revolting nature. On
the breast of a boy was written, " Remain here instead of
selling yourself to your protectors, the Turks." The in-
sult co which he alluded was too offensive to be repeated.
but the purport of it was to tell the Chemise tog7ilaeL
demand assistance from her Majesty.
Viscount PALMERSTON said that he had no report of
the facie to which his noble friend bad &Boded, but at the
same time so many acts of the kind were daily eommitted
by the RUMBiILa troops that be had no doubt of their anthem-
Unity. With respect to the navigation of the Black Sea the
treaty of Paris was very clear ; but with regard to the
coast of Cheessis his noble friend was aware that thee* were
some still undecided questions connected with it. The
Russian goverment contended that by the treaty of 1829
they obtained the erasion of the whole coast; but be
(Lord Palmerston) believed that at the time the Turkish
government did not passer the whole coast, and therefore
could not convey it away. The question had been often
diseased, but he was not aware that there was any practical
question connected with it imderdiscuesion at present. As to
the general question of the navigation of the Black Sea,
the treaty of Paris was perfectly clear and precise.

THE BOURBON COMMITTEE IN ROME

Sir G. BOWYER rose to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury what were the proofs of • statement that there
existed at Rome • committee of no lees than 200 persons
by whom bands of murderers were organised, and sent forth
into the Neapolitan territory to commit every sort of
atrocity ; and whether he would lay upon the table any
official correspondence or other document, in support of
that statement. Having quoted an observation from Lord
Palmerston's s made on • former evening, the hon.
baronet begged to ask the noble lord what foundation be
had for this serious charge against the French government,
and if he bad any letters or despatches to support his state-
ment whether be was prepared to lay such documents on
the table. . .

iscount PALMI.:RSTON replied that if the hon. baronet
bad read a little more carefully the speech from which he
bad quoted, he would have seen that he (Lord Palmerston) 1
bad spoken from belief, and bad no positive proof for his
statement& His had no documents to lay on the table. The
truth was, that he was in the habit of receiving from time
to time very interesting information about men and thing'
in various parts of the world, but if he were to state in the
house the names of the persons from whom he derived his in-
formation. he would soon know as little as the boo. baronet.
(A laugh.) He thought, however, he could refer the hoe.
baronet to an authority which even he would admit wee a
good one, and from that authority the hon. baronet would
get most accurate information respecting this Bourbon com-
mittee which was sitting in Rome. He (Lord Palmerston) had
that day seen a statement, which he believed to be correct, to
the effect that on the Sod of the present month the Jesuit
Father Carol had preached in the Cathedral del Santo
Spirit* at Rome by the order of the Cardinal Archbishop of
Naples, and in the presence of the ex-King of Naples and
his court. In the course of his season the rev. father told
his auditory he was sorry to find they mull not submit to
the decrees of Providence or make up their mind' to the
present state of things. He reproaehed them for having,
by promises of money and inflammatory writings, constantly
stirred up the ignorant masses in Southern Italy, and with
hounding the latter on to pillage and slaughter. (Hear,
hear.) The mealier added that, whereas they were willing
to give money to fit out brigands, they had not a single
*lone° to spare for their poor countrymen who were starv-
ing in Rome. (Hear, bear.) He (Lord Palmerston) was
sure that if the hon. isronet would reply to Father Carel
be would get full information as to the existence of the
Bourbon oomraittee at Rome. (Laughter.)

CHINA.

Hong-Kong papers of April 1 state that the town
of Shaouhsing, about 90 miles from Niogpo, was
being besieged by a Franoo-Chinese contingent,
the same which had been twice repulsed under
Generals Lebrethon and Tarclif, both of whom
were successively killed. The latter has been
succeeded by a General D'Argraibelle, and the
rebels have evacuated the city, evidently wearied
out by the determination of the att►cking force.
The siege lasted exactly • month. An advance
was then made upon Seaou-san, which is also re-
ported to be evacuated by the rebels, who are
falling back upon Hang-chow. There has been
no more fighting. The rebels walked out of
these places and the Franco-Chinese forces
walked in.

From Pekin there is no intelligence ; but from
Tien-twin the news is again discouraging. The Nyen-
fei rebels have appeared in the neighbourhood, and
an encounter with them has resulted in a serious
accident to Acting-Consul Gibson.
It appears that, on teaming of tae approach of those
hordes of marauders, Mr. Gibson got the dincipliaod Minas,

FORCED LABOUR IN EGYPT.

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether the despatch from the Turkish government, pro-
hibiting the oompulaory employment of forced labour on
the works of the Sues canal, which has obtained publicity,
was authentic; and if so, whether her Majesty's govern-
ment would support the Sultan in carrying that object into
effect.
Lord PA.LMLIISTON replied that Egypt wee a portion
of the Turkish empire, and that by the laws of that empire
forced labour was forbidden. Is Egypt, however, the sys-
tem had been carried on up to a recent period, but the Sul-
tan and the Pasha h.ol at last determined to put it down, of
course on the works of the Sum: canal as well as in every
other place. Her Majesty's government entirely approved

Paths that they should have the energetic rapport of Eng-
land in their reform. lie did not know from whom any
opposition could arise, as the Sultan had a perfect right to
make what laws he pleased in his own dominions. England
and France, as two of the five gnat powen, had guaranteed
the integrity of the Turkish empire, and he apprehended
that both would feel equally bound to support the Sultan in
his reforms.

DISEASED MEAT.

Viscount RAYNHAM aeked the Secretary for the Home
Department whether her Majesty's government had received
Professor Gamogets's report en the traffic in diseased meat ;
and, if so, whether there was any objection to its being laid

Mr. LOWE replied that the report bad been received,
and would be laid on the table in a few days.
SUPPLY—REGIMENTAL QUARTERMASTERS.
On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Sr F. SNITH brought before the house the condition of
the raginientsi quartermasters of the army, who, he emu-
' plained, were put in the position of gentlemen without
I receiving such a scale of pay m enabled them to maintain it.
He also moved far memorials and correspondence relating
thereto.

The Marquis at RA RTINOTON opposed the motion
with regret, after the pathetic appeal which bed
been made to him by the gallant genera The
sole grievance wee that of inadequate pa , sad two
schemes regarding it bad bees laid before the for
War; but both involved curb a large expenditure that nei-
ther could be approved of. Moreover, if increased pay were
allowed in the case of quartermasters, the house could not
refuse to listen to similar applications which would be sass
to mane from ensign', lieutenenta, captains, and every other
grade in the army.
After a few observations Inset Wand Dtnizrz and Sir J.

AND THE CHAMBER.

BERLIN. MAT 15.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the
proposition of the committee in reference to the
ministerial letter was agreed to by 295 to 20 votes.
The President, Herr arabow, proposed to give the
ministers time until Monday next, and then com-
municating the resolution of the committee, to re-
quest their attendance at the sittings of the Cham-
ber. Herr Forkenbeck proposed that a distinct
summons should be addressed to the ministers

tion was agreed to by 167 to 138 votes.

ITALY AND THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.

TURIN, MAT 14.

In to-day's sitting of the Senate the debate
took place on the questions put to the ministry by
Signor Deforests respecting the state of things in
OisollouSiern provinces. Signor Peruzzi expressed
his thanks to the statesmen who had defended the
cause of Italy in the English parliament. He con-
tradicted the assertions relative to the press, the
prisons, and public safety, made by those members
of the English parliament hostile to Italy. He
stated that economical improvements and judiciary
and.administrative reforms had been realised within
the last two years,. and defended the policy of the
French government against the accusation of du-
plicity which hail been brought against it by a
Senator. "The occupation of Rome," continued
Signor Peruzzi, "is a fact no lees painful for the
government of the Emperor than for that of King
Victor Emmanuel. But it is impossible to
overlook. the difficulties of the Emperor's po-
sition." Signor Peruzzi then demonstrated the
solidarity of the reactionary party in all the
countries of Europe with Rome. He further stated
that brigandage had sensibly declined, and that the
support of the country was secured to the govern-
ment,. " which," he said, " employs its efforts in
order that the French flag should no longer protect
the conspiracies going on in Rome." In reference
to the cases of Mr. Bishop and Count Christen,
Signor Peruzzi proved the legality of their con-
demnation. Tie Italian government could not
make any difference between foreigners and Italians.
• Signor Peruzzi's speech produced a great sen-
sation.

The Minister of Justice then refuted the asser-
tions wtichtia beeu made in the British parlia-
ment relative to the administration of justiee.
• Signor Deforedta declared himself• satisfied with
the explinatime of the ministry.

stitute a joint inquiry as to the manner in which

WASTE or HIJMAN Lire IN WAE.—From the
statistics collected by the sanitiry eatarniasioo, it appears
that in spite of the high average health of oar men, ss
compared with that of European armies, to keep a force of
500,000 men up to its full strength in the Geld, it must re.
mire a reinforeemeet of 1Z1,C30 men every year. In other
words, without any ordinary reverses or disaders, without
cholera, or crushing defeats, half a million of the healthiest
troop' in the wofid, engaged in active operations, will if
not recruited, in two years dwindle down to half 'that
number, and in roar years will totally disappear from the

well as ex granary. Millers purchased cautiously ; never-
theless the currencies were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten-
dees ; nevertheless prices may be considered steady.
The show of both English and foreign barley was very
limited. Must of the samples on offer were disposed of, but
no change took place in the quotations. Fine malt wee
scarce and in request, at very full prices. Other kinds were
quite as dear as lsat week.
There was a fair demand for oats, and late rates were well
sok:tad. The supply on offer was very moderate.

their value.
The eels for peas was very inactive, on former terms.
The supply of American dour was oa the increase, and
the demand for it was rather heavy, at previous currencies.
English qualities moved off slowly.

member regarded them, not as two belligerents, but as a
legitimate government end a rebel movement against ita
authority. According to the doctrine of the United Stator
government itself • neutral power might supply a
belligerent with shika, arms, ammunitions, or anything
else, although they might be important ingredients in naval
and military operations. Neither the American govern-
, meet nor the hon. member was entitled to say that minis-
, ten had omitted ►o do anything that by law they oonld do
in the matter. With reference to the question of Lord J.
Mariners, as the Sultan bad not been an acceding party to
the establishment of the British protectorate of the lonian
Islands, he would not be invited to send • representative to
the conference. A treaty would be signed by the great
powers before the meeting of the lonian States.
The bill was then read • third time and passed.

PRIVATE BILL LEGISLATION.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the President of the Board ofl
Trade whether, as chairman of the committee on private
bill legislation, as well us to his official capacity, he intended
to take any and what steps in order to give effect to the
recommendations of the committee, or to effect any other
alteration in existing practice as to solicitors' charges for
copies of evidence, and also as to the ad valorem duties on
private bills in the Hogs of Commons.
Mr. M. G113:30N replied that the committee pared seve-
ral resolutions, and the evidence taken before them had
been printed, and could be laid before the hong in a few
days. The government had thought it better not to propose
any action upon these resolutions this session. Considering
the loteoess of the session, and the fact that members were
daily leaving town, if action were now taken it would be in
the presence of only a small number of members, which was
very undesirable in making important changes affecting the
practice of the house.
Replrg to Mr. WHALLEY,
Mr. GIBSON added that it wan intended to introduce
• bill at the commencement of next segion to enable pro-
moters of undertakings, when all parties were assenting, to
carry oat certain works, end accomplish certain objects b
complying with the provisions of a general measure, such
oomplurn to be grtffied by &department of the government.

SWEDEN.

The four Orders of the Swedish diet have just
had to decide, in revising the penal code of the
country, the question of capital punishment.
The report of the committee of legislation, while
expressing the desire and hope of seeing this pe-
nalty removed from the Swedish code, pro-
posed a sort of compromise, maintaining the
punishment in principle, but giving to the
judges the power of always preventing it
from being inflicted, and of substituting for
it, whatever might be the offences committed, the
penalty of perpetual forced labour. This propo-
sition of the committee has been adopted without
modification by the order of the nobility and by
that of the middle classes. The order of the
clergy, on the contrary, has voted for the
absolute maintenance of the penalty of death ;
but, in return, the order of the peasants
has pronounced not less absolutely for its
abrogation. The question now is bow to reconcile
the different opinions expressed by the four estates,
and it appears probable that the result will be that
the project of the committee will be approved by
three orders, which would lead to its definitive
adoption. The Afkmblaclet remarks, in reference
to the vote given by the order of the clergy
" How singular it is, to say nothing more,
that whenever reforms are called for by the love
of humanity, or by the progress of civilisation, the
priests, who profess to be our guides, are nearly
always ready to appeal to traditions and prejudices
—in abort, to oppose a thousand obstacles to any
modification by legislation."

THE " CONSTITUTIONNEL " ON THE
POLISH QUESTION.

PARIS, .Irrix 24.

The Constitutionnet of this morning, in an
article signed by bL Paulin Limayrac, declares
that the Russian reply is everywhere considered
unsatisfactory. The language of Russia in April
last gave reason to hope for a more favourable
reply. The Constitutitmnel examines several points
of Prince Gortehakoff'a despatch, and regrets that
he should see in the diplomatic action of the three
powers the strongest motive of the insurrection.
" Prince Gortchakoff believes that the revolu-
tionary party in Europe alone interests itself in
Poland, whilst in reality it is Europe herself."
The Constitution/lei protests against the imputation
that the Polish question is the work of foreign agi-
tation, since the whole Polish nation has for fifty
years protested against the actual state of things.
The Constitutionnei, in conclusion, says :
" We regret that the Russian reply is not more
satisfactory, but it is not necessary to stir up
excitement as some journals have done. The
government of the Emperor does not require to be
urged on. Its wisdom guards it from precipitation,
as its patriotism preserves it from faltering."

DANGEROUS ENTERTAINMENTS.

Mr. DOULTON Required of the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the owners or .xtipiers of
plies of public resort were at present reepoesible for the
provision of proper safeguards against injury to the lives or
limbs of those performing in or frequenting such plates ;
and, if no such resporsibility at present existed, whether
he wu prepered to introduce next suasion such an
amendment of the law for licensing places of public amuse-
ment es should empower the polies or local authority to en-
force such seneleary protection.
Air G. GREY apprehended that the occupiers of any plane
of public resort or amusement who undertook to provide
machinery and apparatus for any performances, were clearly
responsible for providing proper safeguards against injuries
to life or limb, cod if soy injury moaned through their
neglect they would he legally responsible for the coasts
queues'. The question had reform* so doubt to the two
lamentable accidents which had recently warred at Cre-
n.orne.prdene and at Birmingham. With respect to the
Cremorne accident, the occupier of the garden immediately
announced his ioteation of prohibiting Aliso& performances
for the f u tura —(hear, hes r)—aed he hoped that that example
would be followed elsewhere. No doubt so ion as than
was a public desire for thaws pad it was •

desire mach Lobe deprecated—(bear)—there was so power to
prohibit them; bat oa several occasions oe which perform-
sooes were sooounced in which there wen more than ordi•
nary risk to the performers, the Secretary of sc,.ce haul
addnisied circulars to the owners of the places of amuse-
ment, pointiog out the respectability they would incur in
case of lose of life resulting from those performances, and
generally those remonstrances had been attended with the
desired affect.

PENAL SERVITUDE.

Mr. WARNER asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he intended to bring in, sally next
session, a bill founded on the report of the majority of the
Commissioners on Transportation and Penal servitude ; and
if not, what other steps would be taken by the government
for amending the law of secondary punishment, with a view
to render them more certain and 681-gent?

Sir G. GREY said that he had directed a bill to be pre-
pared, bat that time did not allow of its being proceeded
with daring the present session. It would of coon be pro-
ceeded with early text year. The subject of secondary
puolahment was under consideration with a view to mats it
as efficient as possible.
