RAILWAY AND STEAMBOAT OOMPANIES.

On the order for the consideration of the Great Rulers
Railway (Steamboats) Company, North British Railway
(Steamboats) Bill, and Morayshire Railway Bill, u
amended,
Mr. A. EGERTON moved that the first bill be considered
this day two months. on the ground that the question of
legislative amalgamation of railway and sea tauMe ought not
lo be decided by a select committee, bat by the whole house
after mature consideration. He contended that it had
always been the policy of the house not to allow railway
companies to become steam packet companies also.
After some discussion,

The SPEAKER thought there could be very little diffe-
rence of opinion with regard to the interpretation of the
standing order. It was distinctly provided that no railway
company should appropriate any portion of their capital to
the purchasing, hiring, or prov Ming of steam-vessels unless
a committee reported that there were public grounds for
the measure, and stated the reasons and the facts upon
which that opinion was founded. It was impartble to
wine to say other conclusion than that the standing orders
had not in this came been complied with, and it wee for the
hones to wander in what way substantial justice would best
be accomplished. They might, if they thought fit, re-
commit the bill, with an instruction to the committee to
set forth the ground. upon which they had given their
opinion ; or they might deel with the bill in any other way
that they might think proper.
Col. W. PATTEN expressed himself in favour of the
course wonted by the Speaker, and
The motive and amendment haying been withdrawn, the
bill was, upon the motion of Mr. 0. Goes, ordered to be
recommitted.

The Montyabire Hallway Bill, Mgetber with the North
British (Steembeeta) Bill, was then ordered to be recom-
mitted to a select committee.

subsequently he should bring the subject before the house.

News has been received here from Warsaw, dated

formed by Archbishop Felinski he hsd been
ordered by the Russian government to remain at
Jaroslaw for an indefinite period.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it appeared that
Mr. Woe was insolvent in 1859 and bankrupt w 1862. It
was the usual coons, though not the invariable practice,

The Moniteur publishes the following note :
- •

Some journals have, during the last few day', in enter.
tabling the project of a maritime canal between Paris and
Dieppe, for which a private company is making the surveys,
spoken in terms which would lead to the belief that this
vast undertaking had already been admitted in principle by
the French government. Such is not the fact. AU that is
true is that the company has asked authorisation to make,
at its own expense, risk, and peril, the survey for the canal
in question ; the authorisation asked for has been granted,
but without implying in any manner on the part of the
government an opinion in favour of the undertaking.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. THOSISDAT EVENING.

It is reported this evening that the emperor,
sacrificing the uninterrupted quiet and hygienic
treatment which he is wont to seek at Vichy, means
to run up to Paris, to preside at a ministerial
council which will be held at St. Cloud on Satur-
day to consider the Russian answer, expected by
that time. A further rumour is that, before re-
turning to Vichy, he will pay a visit to the Chalons
camp. It must be confessed that the aspect of this
unexpected news is somewhat warlike. The
Bourse, however, remains steady.
The new Archbishop of Paris, Mgr. Darboy, is
said to be in such a had state of health as to neoes-
sitate the appointment of a "coadjutor" for his
diocese. The vicar-general, Abbig Buquet, is
spoken of for this highly-important post. According
to precedent and usage, a coadjutor practically
supersedes the titulary of the see.
In the case of Madame de Civry v. the Duke of
Brunswick, the Court of the First Instance has
given judgment against the duke upon the prelimi-
nary point which alone was before it. His demur-
rer is over-ruled, with meta. What the court now
decides is that Madame de Civry, as the wife of a
Frenchman, has a right of suit before the French
tribunals, and that the Duke of Brunswick's former
royalty is no bar to the action. The merits of the
case are reserved for a further hearing.

The Empress, on hearing yesterday of the death
of the Duke of Hamilton, came at once to Paris,
and induced the duchess, Lady Mary, and Lord
Charles to accompany her back to St. Cloud at
half-past 2. The new duke remains in Paris. The
body is to be transported to the family vault at
Hamilton Palace.

VS DAVIES'S Riny.

Worcestershire, Jan. 16, 1863.
My Lord Bishop,—On your lordship's first visit of
logarestone I informed you that, having from ill-health
determined to retire to a farm, it was my intention to assist
my neighbours occasionally. On your second visit., at the
opening of logatestone schools, on your lordship's asking
me what I was doing, I replied that I was taking occasional
duty at Wriitle. 1 mention this in order to show that I
have dune nothing by stealth, or with a view to concealment,
and because your lordship says, " I have been informed
that you take occasional duty, and that you farm, &c." I in.
formed your lordship myself. I did not conceive I was
guilty of any ecclesiastical offence in farming, because the law
of the church (Viet. 1 and 2) allows a clergyman with
benefice and cure of souls to farm eighty acres
and more, with the bishop's permission. I have
refused all offers which would put on me the responsibility
of any weekly duty, and in so doing I thought 1 was
punning an upright and a blameless course. When a
clergyman is taken ill, and the only alternative would be an
unknown person, by advertisement, from London, without
license, then I have officiated. I bow to your lordship'■
decision, and I will not officiate in the churches or chapels
of the established church in your lordship's diocese. My
grain and cattle, when sold in market, are sold by a commis-
sion agent, because I dislike that part of the work. 1 often
ride into Chelmsford on market-days, and I have the
friendship of many of the leading agriculturists of Essex :
but my tastes have never led me into any low company, be-
' inure I was born a gentleman before I was made a clergy-
man. I shall hope that your lordship will give me a letter
at logateetone, stating the name of the person or persons
who have been to your lordship with accusations against
me. In which request ldr. Disney (who was in my room
when I opened your lordship's letter) unites. There may
possibly be private motives in any one who has made it
his bushier to malign me to your lordship.—l am, yours
obediently, Osoacz J. Danz&

The Bourse, which had been drooping all the

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 25.

IN marshy Easex, where it takes much to rouse
the web-footed and cold-blooded inhabitants to
energy on any subject, either of religion or politics,
a correspondence has just been published which has
caused a certain amount of excitement. The
Bishop of ROCIIEbTER is one of Lord Paiwsserow's
Bishops. When Dr. C. J. Varmzuzi, the gifted
Head Master of Harrow School, unfortu-
nately for the Church, and especially for
the diocese of Rochester, astonished the Par-
wira with the ancient Nolo Epiacopari,
uttered in ancient simplicity and sincerity, Lord
PALMZRSTON had to look round for some one to
catch Bishop Mraasv's lawn sleeves before they
reached the ground. Dr. Wicasm was a neigh-
bour in Hants—Dr. WIOBAY was Low Church—
Dr. Wrozam was not a ten year man like some
who were hoping for the see—Dr. WIOILLM got
the appointment. Dr. Wioasx's first step
was to deliver a charge, in which he warned
his clergy against wearing beards. By this he
disgusted the parsons. His second step was to
ask the clergy and their wives to meet the church-
wardens and their wives at tea on a wet afternoon
under a tent, with policemen to prevent their
entering his palace. By this he disgusted the
parsons' wives : and his third step has been one
which, sa we think, proves most clearly that the virus
imparted at ordination is strong enough, at the
third application, to turn a respectable and amiable
Rector into an insidious and tyrannical Bishop.
The Reverend Groans DiVIES is a clergman of
unblemished character and high attainments. Some
years since, under the pressure of ill-health, he
gave up regular duty. Having shortly before mi-
grated into the diocese of Rochester, there he has
remained, occasionally helping his neighbours
when illness or any other cause withheld them for
a Sunday from their pulpits ; contributing, if we
mistake not, to some of onr ecclesiastical contem-
poraries, especially to one who takes upon himself
the office

TIM (VEIN O. ruz.Jl3BllCf.B or KENT.

Mr. Welaby moved for a rule oalliog upon certain justice,
of Kent to show came why a certiorari should riot issue to
remove into the court an order made by the general quarter
seseiens for that county, on the 24th March last, in order
that so much of it ea includes the parish of Bromley in the
highway district should be quashed. The question raised
for the first time the construction of the climes of the new
Highway Act, the 25th and 26th Vie., cap. 61, sec.?,
which was passed on the 29th July, 1862.
The section provides that any place or phew
the highways of which were at the time of the
passing of the act, or might become within six mouths of
the passim of the act, under the superintendence of a board
established in pursuance of the sth and 6th Wm. IV., cap,
50, sec. 18, should be exempt from the operation of
the new
ottway Act; mama with the consent
bof such The perish of Bromley contained
upwards of 5,003 inhabitants, and wee entitled
to have a highway board under the last mentioned act. The
vestry of the parish accordingly met in due form on the
7th November last, which was within six months of the
paining of the new Highway Act, and formed • board
under the act of Witham IV , and they therefore claimed
exemption from being included in the highway district.
Buie granted.

COMPANY.

Mr.M'lntyre inbred for • miscalling upon the defendant;
the judge and registrar of the county court of Cheater, to
show came why execution should not issue against the goods
of the defendants. The action was brought in the county
court of Chester, when the plaintiff obtained a verdict
for 271. damages and 7/. lOs. costa. The plaintiff was a
harpist, and was on his way from Dublin to London. When
at Chester be had not sufficient money to carry him
on to London. At his request the station master
pre him a third-class ticket on the security of
the harp, the money to be paid before it
was given up to him in London. Having obtained
the money from his friends, he went to the station in Lon-
don and redeemed the harp. On opening the ease
• considerable part of the harp dropped to
pieces. He could get no redress from the com-
pany in London, who referrcd him to Chester,
and the comequence was that he sued them in the county
court there. The action was tried, and the above verdict
with costa given. The defendants, however, denied the
jurisdiction.
Rule granted.
The court adjourned for half an hour from the want
motions, and afterwards proceeded with the new trial

SAILORS' HOME AND DESTITUTE BAILORS!

7lithir:

Yesterday the annual meeting of the friends of
ON institution was held in the mums of the Hoag
Well-street ; Admiral Sir W. Bowies, preektent of the
inatitutioo, in the chair.
The SZCILISTMIT (Captain Webb) read the reports. That
of the "Home 'Mini that 139,180 semen hell been re-
ceived into the institution rim 1836, of whom 120,547
were British and the remainder foreign seamen. The
number received in the present year was 8,993, of whom
7,399 were British and the remainder foreign. The amount
of money received on tailors' private money ac-
count for the year 1863 was 71,0981., end the amount
drawn out was 40.1391. The total amount so received since
1835 was 1,110,9801., and the amount withdrawn was
621,7731. The prominent feature of the report was
the appeal to the public for assistanni to pro-
vide enlarged acioremodstios to meet the growing
wants of the institution. In 2May 1836, tie Home was
opened for the reception dlOO boarders. It DOW afforded
accommodatios to 300 boarders, but the demands for further
accommodation bad become so imperative that the directors
took a lease of the back yard for 99 years with a view of
providing for 160 additional boarders, and impsovmg the
misting means of sooommodatioo. A maw of 10,0001.
would be required to carry oat this object. The directors
resolved to apply the whole of the funded property to this
enlargement, but a further sum of 5,0001. world be required,
sad to procure this mount they appealed to the liberality
of the public—an appeal founded on the undoubted ad-
vantages, pecuniary, moral, and spiritual, which the Home
has procured for that numerous Mas at seamen frequent-
ing the port of London. In order to give further'
elgoilcance to the undertaking the directors intended to
MINA the attendance of one of the royal family to lay the
first atone of the new building. The boarders of the institu-
tion contributed 361. 12v. to relieve the discreet of the Leo-
oashits operatives, besides an annual contribution of be-
times 1301. and 1601. in, aid of their sick and destitute
brethren in the Drealsoaght Hospital Ship and the DlNS-
tate Salim' Asylum. The income of the Homo was
9,0461. ifs. 3d., and the balm* is haul 5281. 18e. Over
112.01.10 pared through the Home in the opium of the year.
The report of the Destitute Sailors' Asylum stated that

last year, mid that the income received was 61131., oat at

EX PARTS SKIDMORE.

Mr. Gray applied co behalf of Mr. John Skidmore for •
rule calling upon the steward of the manor of Lapley and
Aston to show came why • mandamus should not issue
directing him to admit Mr. John Skidmore to • tenement
within the manor. The question was how, under the peculiar
circumstances of the case, the appliosut wee to be &kwitted.
or rather it seemed to be aquestion of fees. The tenement
had been subdivided into eighths. One of the testator's sow,
who held three-eighths, became insolvent, and his shares
were sold, the purchaser also buying the other five-e4btha.
He then sold the whole to the aimlimint, who claimed to be
put in possession under one surrender and one admittance.
The steward contended six surrenders and luimittanoes were
neonswary, and demanded the fees on that number.
The Court panted a rule.

II PASTS WILLIAM PHIPPS.
Mr. Baylis applied on belialt of the applicant, • Prisoner
in Warwick House of Correction, fore rule for • habeas
corpus, with • view to his being discharged out of ouirtsdy.
The applicant was in midair under the Master and Servant's
Act, the 4th Geo. 4, chap. 34, see. 3. On the 16th Oct.,
1860, he entered into his mastei's servioe for a period of
twelve months. He served till the god of November, when
he absented himself from the service. On the 3rd • com-
plaint was made before the justice, but nothing was dons in
the matter till the 15th of May, 1863, two years and • half
afterwards. The warrant of commitment treated the matter
as • continuous servios and committed him to prima for
two months, and abated 12s. 6d. from his wages, which the
learned counsel contended was illegal. Another point wee
that the warrant was not under seal as it ought to have
been.

Mr. Julio. Crompton said that perhaps it had a stamp,
which was sufficient.

The Court greeted a rule on the technical point of the
seal only.

II PARTS DAVID V. BLACKBURN.

Mr. Dowdeswall moved fora,IL1;;;;:to, callus upon
Mr. Blackburn to show muse by what authority he holds
the office of coroner for the hundreds of Elsinore and Pin-
hill, in the county of Bii101). Mr. Davis and Mr. Blackburn
were both candidates for the offloe, and a poll took place,
which resulted in favour of Mr. Blackburn. The question
wa. the improper reception of certain votes.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
JONG Oilman, who wan brought up last week, charged
with uttering forged Ws of a:thane, was finally examined
upon that charge before Sir Robert Carden, who wee sitting
for the Lord Mayor.
Mr. Petry, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, attended for

the prieoner.
The prisoner formerly carried on the business of a tailor
in the neighbourhood of Berwiehotreet, thdord•strest, lie
had Weiser tramectious with Marrs. Gibson Brothers, of
Friday-street, and Messrs. Ford, of Eing-street, Chows*
woollen drapers, and bed en account with those firma, for
which they drew upon him and took his acceptances. Both
firms Leld acceptances of the prisoner, which fell due some-
where about February last, and about that date he called at
the office and gave the clerk three bills, which were dis-
counted oo account of the firm, to enable the prisoner to
take up the bill which had fallen due. Two of the bills,
however —one for 12/. 10s., &awe on and purporting to be
sooepted by Mr. Dubber., of Richmundjbuildings, Bobo,
the other fur 101. 0.., draws cm and purporting to be ao-
eepted by Mr. Gyms, of Wartionvetrest, Soho—were re-
turned dishonoured. The third bill is still in circulation.
A little later, shout the beginning of March, the prisoner
called on Mr. Ford, and to bim he gave two bills of exchange
in part payment of an overdue acceptance, one of which
was drawn on and purported to be accepted by Mr. Dothan,
for 91. fia., and the other purporting to be accepted by Mr.
Murphy, of Great Marlburoughutreet.
Mr. bobbin, Mr. Grans, mid Mr. Murphy declared the
&fireplaces' to the bills produced were not theirs, nor
written by their authority.
Mr. Perry crow-examined these witnesses as to whether
they were positive that the acceptances were not genuiae,
and they arch swore positively that they were not, and that
they knew nothing whatever of them. Mr. Murphy said
be Lad on two occasions given the prisoner • hill to accom-
modate him, but he knew uothing of the one in question.
The prisoner, whodeclared that he was perfectly innocent
of the charge imputed to him, was committed for Viol.
Mr. Perry applied that some money, 91.105., which was
found upon the prisoner at the time of his apprehension,
might be given up to him for the pumices of his deems.
This application, however, was opposed by a gentleman,
whose name did not transpire, who said the prisoner was a
bankrupt, and consequently the money bohemia to has cre-
ditors; he appeared upon the part of the usignees, and
he objected to any portion of the property found upon the
prisoner being given up to him under those circumstanem
Sir Behan Carden maid as such was the case he should
make no order.
