IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

IN the Boys?. of Lowtifi yesterday pet►tions were
presented by the Karl of KIXPIRLEY from members
of the University of Oxford against religious tests.
Lord Houghton and tie Duke of Devonshire ex-
pressed their concurrence in the prayer of the
petition, and the Earl of Carnarvon his dis-
approval.
The Bishop of ELY presented a petition from
1,000 graduates of Oxford in favour of religious
tests. _ _

The Earl of MAUI'S/WRY moved the adjourn-
ment of the house to Monday, the Bth of June.
Earl RI3BBZIL called attention to the state of
public affairs, and of the position of the Ministry.
The government was remaining in office without
possessing the confidence of the Hasse of Commons,
and he had never heard of a case in which tho con-
sent of the crown to dissolve was not to be exercised
fora period of six months. This state of things could
only be excused under special circumstances, and
there should be no delay in preparing for the elec-
tion of a new parliament, but up to this time there
had been great, and in his opinion, needless delay.
He called on the government to distinctly declare
what their policy was. The question of church
rates, he hoped, would be settled by the bill which
had been sent up from the other house. The next
question was that of education, and he hoped go-
vernment would be prepared with measures friuned
on broad and comprehensive principles, especially
with respect to the education of the poorest classes,
the endowed schools, and the extension of
university education. The most important ques-
tion was that of Ireland. He wished to have some
explanation of Lord Mayo's declaration that the
government would establish an equality of churches
by elevating all but destroying none. How that
was to be accomplished without endowing the
Roman catholic clergy, he did nut know. in con-
clusion, the noble earl strongly condemned the
conduct of the government in remaining in office
without possessing the confidence of the House of
Commons, and expressed a hope that the new par-
liament would speedily put an end to so unconsti-
tutional a state of things.
The Earl of MALMESBURY protested against the
assertion that the government did not possess the
confidence of the House of Commons. If it did
not, why did not some of the friends of the noble
lord move a vote of want of confidence ? The
government not unreasonably expected that the
session would be engaged in finishing the work of
reform, with a view to an appeal to the new con-
stituencies as early as possible. Mr. Gladstone
had, however, insisted upon forcing on parliament
the question of abolishing the Irish church. and,
together with those who acted with him, was re-
sponsible for the state of things of which the noble
earl so complained. The sooner the necessary steps
for a dissolution were completed the better pleased
would the government be.
'I lie tom was then agreed to ; and the house
rose at '25 minutes past 7 o'clock.

IN the HOUSE of COMMONS Mr. GL,►nsroNE
inquired what course government intended to take
with regard to the Irish Church Bill, which stands
for Friday next.
Mt. DISRAELI said it was a had bill and badly
draw n, but he did not think it was for the govern-
ment to attempt to improve it, and therefore he
should offer no formal opposition to the bill in a in-
mittee.

Air. WALPOLF. brought up the report of the select
committee on the report of the Boundary Com-
mission, which he said classified the boroughs into
three : first, those in which the report of the com-
missioners was recommended to be adopted ;
second, those in which they recommended sonic
modification to be made in the report ; and,
thirdly, those in which the present boundaries
were recommended to be retained.

Mr. DISILAKLI having moved that the house at
its rising adjourn for the Whitsun holidays until
Thursday next, . . _

Mr. B. COCHRANE called attention to the site of
the new law courts, which he maintained was bad,
and inconvenient in many respects. The proper site,
he said, was on the Thames Embankment, between
Somerset I louse and the Temple.

Mr. M. CHAMBEKS enforced the s.ane view.

Mr. COWPER hoped the government would keep
the site they had got. If they changed it another
tire yew s might be thrown awaj
Lord J. MssiNs.ie: said the question had been
decided years ago, not by this house alone, but by
the leg:sliture, which had pas.eil acts on the sub-
ject. Besides, the purchase of the site was now
virtually complete.
Mr. W. E. FoliNT:At asked Mr. Disraeli what
steps he intends to take in reference to the contem-
plated measure for expediting the dissolution of
parliament. He had looked into the question
with the aid of others capable of forming a judg-
ment, and had come to the conclusion that a disso-
lution might take place and the new parliament
elected so us to meet on the 12th of November,and
zommence business on the 17th.

Mr. HIBBERT agreed with Mr. Forster that it
might be passible for the new parliament to be
elected by the middle of November, but it might
not be desirable to have an antuoni session.

Lord ELeuo denied that there was any impor-
tant public reason why they should strain and
torture their system of registration in order to
take a vote a month or two sooner to decide
whether Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone should fill
the Mike id First Lord of the Treasury.

Mr. CLAY thought not a moment should be lost in
consulting the country.
Mr. M. Giemix considered the supplementary
reform bills ought alone to be dealt uith in this
parliament.
Sir it. KNU:UTLET insisted on the necessity of
passing the bill to prevent bribery :tml corrupt
practices at elections.
Mr. Orw.vv said there was a question even more
interesting than which party was in the govern-
ment, and that was the credit of the house. They
had lately witnessed scenes which were not credit-
able to them ; and they lied seen on the part of
the government an indifferent* to public opinion
which he never saw before.

Mr. DISRAELI said be thought the house ought
to confine its labours to the supplementary reform
bills and the estimates. It was desirable, but not
absolutely necessary, to go on with the Bribery and
Corrupt Practices Bill, though he should give it up
with a pang. When he made the declaration to
the house he was assured that an autumn session
might be obtained, but he was met with incredulity.
The subject had been :tore or less under consider-
ation ever since, and not a day had been lost. No
doubt the difficulties might be overcome, but it
was of the utmost importance that no suspicion
should enter into the minds of the new constitu-
ency that there was any attempt by the house to
neutralise the great privileges which had been con-
ferred upon them. The government were giving
the subject their most careful consideration.
Mr. C Lannon; said the answer of the right hon.
gentleman us to the bills that were to engage their
attention was just and fair, but with regard to the
other branch of the tiuestiou, it was not so satis-
factory. The government had recognised the fact
that they must either resign or appeal to the
country. If that appeal were to be made, it should
be made at the earliest practicable moment. If
when they met after the holidays there was no
definite action on the part of the ministers of the
crown, it would he fur independent members to
consider whether they ought not to take some
steps of a definite character.

kr. I'm; Lc suggested that the business of the
session would be much expedited if the Irish
Church Suspensory Bill were withdrawn.
Mr. HARDY denied that the government were
I disposed to go back from their engagements on
this subject, but said delay had been caused by the
reference of the Boundary Bill to a select committee.
It was their desire to bring about a dissolution as
quickly as possible.
Mr. CARDWELL said the statement of the Home
Secretary was satisfactory.
The subject then dropped, and the motion for
adjournment was agreed to.
On the motion fur going into committee of
supply,
MY. GREENE called attention to the subject of
aceidenta in coal mines ; and

Mr. WHALLILY to the recent Roman catholic
riots at Ashton, Rocdsdnia, and other_ Owes. The
hon. member attributed the riota which teak phies
at the towns in which the lecturer Murphy had
lectured to the instigation of the Roman catholic
priests, whom he also charged with supporting
Fenian.
Mr. BARD complained of the exaggerated lan-
guage of the hon. member, which he said was with-
out the bounds of propriety, and such as ought
not to be used either in the house or out of it.
Another subject disclaimed wts the declaration
against transubstantiation taken by the 'sovereign,
which was brought forward by Sir C. O'Loonima,
who moved for a copy of it, but withdrew the mo-
tion • after which
The house went into committee of supply, and
several votes in the civil service estimates were
agreed to.
Some other business war disposed of, and the
house adjourned at a quarter to one.

THE OAKS.

(FROM OCR RPORTING CORRESPOWRCRO

After the comparatively dull day intervening between
the Denby and the Oaks, wherein racing men are allowed
breathing time after the excitement created by the greet
event, the ladies' race is looked forward to with great
interest, and tine weather is perhaps one of the greatest
desiderata for the success of the gathering. The morn-
ing broke fine and warm, and a summer-like day was
promised, so that holiday.seekers and those bent on
badness docked into the town before noon, the gay-
coloured dream of the ladies betokening that no fear of
disagreeable weather existed. Shortly after noon, how-
ever, such a downpour of rain and bail set in, accompe-
nied by vivid dashes of lightning and peals of thunder,
that all hope of enjoyment fur the day seemed dispelled,
and those of the visitors who unfortunately chanced to be
en route to the course must have been drenched
in a few moments. For an hour the lightning
hovered about the town, and each succeeding
peal of thunder was followed by • heavier downfall than
the one before. The roads in many places were rendered
totally hnparaLis to pedestrians owing to the accumula-
tion of water, and in the lanes at the foot of the hill
leading to the downs horses in the vehicles plying for
hire waded knee-deep through the pools to reach the
course. About one o'clock, however, the storm passed off
and during the rest of the day beautiful weather prevailed
till the last race was run, when a slight shower or two fell.
The attendance on the course during the afternoon was
very large, and the stands were well filled. His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, tke Crown Prince ot Den-
mark, Prince Ttrk, and Prince Cahalan were again
present to witness the race for the Oaks. Racing was set
to commence at half-past one o'clock with the Glasgow
Plate of 100 rove., which furnished a field of eight, half
the numbered coloured. Xi carried top weighs, Set 1:11b,
but despite this Sir Joseph Hawley's hone was made •
warm favourite, while not a few fancied the chance of
Silenus, who wan only in receipt of a pound for the year
from Xi. The result justified the choice of backers, as
the favourite won very cleverly. A field of ten juveniles
turned out to contest the Epsom Two-Year-old Plate, for
whioh See Breeze, who has been out only twice, was
thought to have the best chance, while Electricity found
many friends, and ultimately landed the stake after a good
race. In good time the fillies for the Oaks were weighed
out, the eight ou the card being joined by, at the last
moment, Mr. Welsby's Curfew Bell, whose name was not
on the card. Muth excitement was manifested to witness
the performance of Lady Elizabeth, in order to see if she
might retrieve her lost laurels, and many of her friends
adhered to the hope that her Derby running did not show
her true form, so that they accepted as little as
9 to 2 about her before the numbers went up.
Virtue was the first to show coming to the course from the
paddock with five others, whilst Lady Elizabeth, with
Athena and Lady Coventry, were saddled on the coarse at
the half-mile post, sad all cantered. It was observed in
the paddock that Fair Star and Janet Rawcliffe were
in a state of suffering The latter was started to
force the pace for her stable companion Formosa, and was
distinguishable from being ridden in • lighter green colour
than the favourite. Formosa was the chief attraction,
and all were loud in their praises of her beautiful racing-
like appearance. A slight deter occurred in reaching the
post, but Mr. sPGeorge had no trouble in despatching
the lot at the first attempt to an equitable start. As the
race is so fully described below, little need be said here
beyond the fact that the race was over after the first
quarter of a mile, where Formosa took up the running,
and she succeeded in scattering her field with the same
apparent ease as did Blink Bonny in 1857. Fora= was
loudly cheered by his confreres on his success, whilst
Lady Elizabeth was hissed by the people. only two
other races followed, as the Great Surrey Foal Stakes re-
sulted in a walk over for Vale Royal; and the particulars
are appended :

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION MOUSE.

Mr. law 17(x, a merchant and importer of foreign
goods, carrying op his business in Bai -street,
attended before the Lord Mayor to answer two sum.
mouses issued against him at the instance of the
London and North Western Railway Company, and by
which ho wax charged with having unlawfully sent two
packages containing certain dangerous compounds to be
conveyed upon the railway, without giving the company
patios of the contents of such packages, for which he had
incurred a penalty of 20i. for each package.
Mr. Roberta, solicitor, attended in support of the com-
plaint. The defendant was represented by Mr. Robert
Bevetley, a solicitor.

The deiendant pleaded guilty to both summonses.
Mr. Roberts said he appeared on behalf of the London
and North Western Railway Company in support of the
summons to which the defendant had pleaded guilty, and
he could not help submitting the case to his lordship as
one of a very serious and aggravated character. The defen-
dant carried on business as a merchant in the City of LOO.
don, and was also an importer of foreign goods, wit'
on the day named in the summons it appeared that he
had sent three parcels to the branch booking office of the
company in Bishopegate-street to be trinamitted to Bir-
mingham. These parcels were severally peeked up in
brown paper, and no intimation whatever was given to
the company that they contained anything that was at all
dangerous, and in due course they were transmitted to
the station at Euston-square to be conveyed to Birming-
ham ; and while the package,' were being moved at the
station, one of them burst into flames ; the other two were
then examined, and they were found to contain • large
quantity of boxes of French wax lucifer matches,
which were very inflammable, and as they would
have been sent by a passenger train with the
luggage, if they had ignited on the journey,
the consequences would undoubtedly have been
very serious. Mr. Roberts then called the attention of
the Lord Mayor to the 105th section of the Railway
Clauses Act which referred to the subject, and said that the
defendant had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 201.
for each of the packages, and, although he was not in-
stnnted to ask that the extreme amount of penalty
should be inflicted. The company, acting in the interest
of the public, felt it to be their duty to submit the offence
as one of a somewhat aggravated character. He aided
that the defendant and all persons who bad occasion to
send such dangerous articles for transmission by railways
must be well aware of the mischief that might be occa-
sioned by their neglecting to give the company notice of
the dangerous nature of the goods, and he sail that when
this information was afforded the precaution was taken of
placing such articles in en iron van, so that if they ignited
comparatively little mischief could be done.
The Lord Mayor inquired what explanation the defen-
dant had to offer to the court for his conduct.

Mr. Beverley, the defendant' a solicitor, said that he had
pleaded guilty to the charges under his advice, because be
felt that it was impossible to offer any legal justification
for his conduct. All he could say was that the defendant
was a foreigner, and ignorant of the law, and that a large
quantity of these matches had been consigned to him
from Hamburg, and they were examined at the custom-
house, and brought to town by the Great Eastern Railway
without any objection being made.
Mr. Roberts said that this was easily explained, as the
custounhouso officers, immediately they were aware of the
nature of the goods, would inform the railway officials, and
they would talco the necessary precautions.
The Lord Mayor said he considered it wags very bad ease.
Although the defendant was a foreigner he must have
known perfectly well that the consequences of sending a
large quantity of these inflammable articles by railway,
without giving any information as to their nature, might
have been mast serious, and he felt it to be his duty to
order him to pay a fine of 101. for each offence, 201. in all
for the two parcels, and in default to be imprisoned for
four months.
The fines were shortly afterwards paid.
CLERK EN {{ELL.
_ _

Boric' Bryant, a boy 12 years of age, was charged with
throwing stones at the Farringdoo-road station of the Me-
tropolitan Railway.
Thomas. a porter, said that the defendant was one of •
gang of boys that infested the station selling cigar lights.
As he was in the doorway annoying the passengers he asked
him to go away, and as he would not he remoted him. He
bad no sooner done so than the defendant went into the
middle of the road, picked up apiece of granite, threw it at
him, and struck Mut on the arm. The stone rebounded
and struck • lady in the booking-office. The nuisance of
the boys congregating about the doors of the station was
unbearable, and for the protection of the public it was
determined to prosecute in every case.
Mr. Barker said he should do all he could to protect the
passengers from annoyance. and ordered the defendant to
pay • fine of 20a., or in default to be imprisoned in the
House of Correction for 14 days.
The defendant was locked up in default.
SOUTHWARK.

Mr. William Norman, the proprietor and landlord of
the King's Head Tavern, New ington•caoseway, was brought
before Mr. Beecham by Inspector Tornio, Pa division,
charged with setting fire to his house, Harriet Norman,
sea., Harriet Norman, Ilia wifo, George Norman, and
Harriet Thompson, his servant, being therein at the time.
Inspector Trupin said that on Tuesday morning last, at
twenty minutes past three o'clock, he was called to a fire
at the King's Head, at the corner of Morton-street and
Ncwiegton•oauseway, kept by the prisoner. Smoke was
coming out from the doors and windows at the rear. A
fireman cone op and got into the house, and having extin-
guished the fire witness examined the premises, and on a
ledge in the cellar be found some ieoes of wood and paper
rolled up and partially burnt. A little further down, under
a spirit case, and just over ► gas jet, be foundlieveral pieces
of wood steeped in turpentine, surrounded with an old
German fingrate ornament, also partially burnt. Witness
found the prisoner in the yard, and called his attention to
the burnt wood and paper, when be said he did not know
how they came there. Witness asked him who did his
cellar work, when be replied that he did, and no one else
entered the nall&r. He understood that defendant was
insured in the Royal far 1,0004
The prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded, and
bail was refused.

CHAROR OF PEILJORY.-At the Mansion-house
polio-court yesterday Mr. Charles Fitch Kemp a public
accountant, carrying en business at No. 8, Walls ap-
peared before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons taken
out by Dr. John Maude Button, of New Windsor, county
of Barka, which charged him with committing wilful and
corrupt perjury in an affidavit made upon oath before Mr.
John liWwden, a commissioner appointed to administer
oaths, on the 19th July, 181 E, In a suit t►en pending in
the Court of Chancery between Edmond Stanley Stanley
and others, plaintiffs, and William Matthew Coulthuret
and others, defendants. Mr. F. IL Lewis, the barrister,
appeared on behalf of the oomplainant, and Mr. Kemp
was defended by Mr. Ssrjeaat Ballaatins. The ease had
reference to the amount paid for the rent of a mine. The
Lord Mayor, without bearing vitamin for else defence,
said be bad no doubt the defendant did not intend to do
the ooesplainant any harm by the alder% which, owing to
a mistake likely to happen in any oiler, was not strictly
correct in the matter of figures, and be therefore dis-
missed the eemnions._
