EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT IN LIVERPOOL.--
Yesterday (Friday) morning, about nine o'clock, a cab be-
longing to Messrs. Cott and Higgs, of the Grecian Hotel, was
standing on the rank at the top of Bold-street, when, as is
alleged, the horse took fright at a dog and dashed down Bold-
street at a fearful pace, with the driver and a boy on the
box. In spite of every effort to restrain him, the horse
rushed through the splendid plate-glass front of Messrs.
Macculloch and Co., drapers, 75, Church-street, tearing
away one of the iron pillars that supported the shop-front,
and shivering into fragments the large panes on both aides
of the doorway. The damage cannot be less than 1504
The horse was so much injured that it must be destroyed.
Both the driver and the boy had a very narrow escape, as also
some spectators, who were looking into the ellqp a Maxor two previously to the 000arrenoe.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OP' COMMONS.
Th• SPEAKER took the Chair at a few minutes past
Twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the Midland Railway (Ex-
tension of Time, &c.) Bill, were considered and agreed to.
The following Bills were read a third time and passed :
Jackson's Estate.

Lethbridge's Estate.
National Land Company Dissolving.
The Duke of Bridgewater's Estate Bill was read a
second time.
FEES PAID ON THE
DOWAGBURIAL OF THE QUEEN
ER.
On the question for bringing up the report of the
Committee of Supnly,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated,
in reply to Sir Benjamin Hall, thin the sum paid to the
Peru sod Chapter of Windsor as fees for depositing the
remains of tho Queen Dowager in the vaults of St.
St. George's Chapel, was 2201., and not 1,0001. as had
been stated.
Sir B. HALL thought this was a most disgraceful
charge to compel the public to pay. The Government
might depend upon it that these disgraceful ecclesiastical
peculations would do more to injure the Church in this
country than anything else that could be conceived. He
hoped the Government would interfere and put a stop
to this system of extortion. The dean and chapter were
lot content with the enormous income of 53,0001.
a year, but must come to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, who had quite enough to do with his money, for
the miserable sum ot 2201 for depositing the remains of
one of the Royal Family in their vaults. A very ad-
mirable representation of the positiou of ecclesiastical
affairs was given in the pages of Punch, in which the
Bishops of London, Oxtord, and Rot:Ater, were exhi-
bited as frightened at the ghost of the Hon. Member tor
Cockermouth, and hastening away with the property of
the Church, the Bishop of London baying mark« d on his
load the significant sum of 30,000/.—(llear,
bear.)
When such facts come before the public, there
would be an unanimous cry from one and ot the country
d
to the other tor a thorough reform in the Established
Church. He concluded by giving notice that he would
move for a return. of the sums paid to the dean and
chapter since 1837 in the shape of fees for the burial of
any members of the Royal Family.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consi-
dered that tee irregular manner in which the subject bad
been brought forward, was neither creditable to the Hon.
Baronet, nor likely to answer any good purpose. These
fees were customary charges oii the burial of any of the
Royal Family, and in all vaults in the country sums were
charged for depositing
the remains of the dead.
Mr. GLADSTONE observed that ourial fees of this
kind had existed from time immemorial, which was an
important element to be taken into consideration in dis-
cussing the question which the Hon. Member had
bro
brought before the House. In case the Hon. Member
should proceed with his motion, he hoped be would ask
for a return ot all sums received by the dean and '
chapter from the earliest period to which reference could
be made. He had rip doubt those gentlemen would be
able to defend themselves when an opportunity was
afforded them to do so.—(Hear, hear.)
DISABILITIES OF COLONIAL CLERGY.
Mr. GLADSTONE then called the attentien of the
House to the legal disabilities of the colonial bishops,
clergy, and laity in communion with the Church of
England, in regard to making provision for their internal
religious concerns, and inquired into the intentions of
her Majesty's Government respecting the removal of
those disabilities. The Colonial Church laboured under
this difficulty, that they bad neither the powers which a
regular constitutior and the machinery of ecclesiastical
eating conferred upon the Church at home, neither had
they the power of areligious association to make rules and
regulatieas for themselves. It was desirable, therefore,
that Parliament should proceed as soon as possible
to &floe their condition. Last session the
House did not sesm inclined to interfere
to give such powers to the Australian Church, but since
then circumstances had occurred to strengthen his case.
In October last the Bishops of Australia met together,
but they found that they were not in a condition safely
to attempt any mode of proceeding to form rules for
the government of their religious community. They
agreed, therefor:, that their meeting should stand simply
for a private conference. Something of the same sort
had happened in the diocese of Toronto in Canada,
where the clergy had met together and addressed her
Majesty to confer en them the legal right of assembling
in Synod. This was a case in which he hoped her
Majesty's Government would provide a remedy. Legis-
lation was not possible in the present session, but her
Majesty's Government might give them an assurance
that they would be left free. Next session her Majesty's
Government might bring in a Biil to remove the dis-
abilities which pressed on the Church of England in the
colonies. If they did not, he should feel it his duty
to introduce such a measure.
Sir DE LACY EVANS complained of the creation
of colonial bishops at all nothing but expense and all
kinds of difficulties had been caused by them.
Colonel :.-,113r11.0RP thought with regard to the
fees for the burial of the Queen Dowager, the Chatact
lor of the Exchequer, as he had beeefited so lsrgely
from free trade, should be mode to pay them out of his
owa pocket, which would teach him better for the
future.

Mr. W. WILLL .:rIS was sorry to find that the
Right Hon. Gentlet-i1,.0 the Member for the Universiry
of Oxford had been obliged to travel to the Antipodes
to find a bishop contentt d with 2,0001. per annum. The
question, however, before the House was not the Colo-
nial Church, but the rtes paid to the Dea❑ and Chapter
of Windsor. He thought the whole affair was a dis-
grace to every body connected with it—;o the Dean aed
toapter for receiving it, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer for paying it, and the House for sanctioning it..
He should, however, again divide the House on the
subject._

/Cir. CHRISTOPHER protested against Members of
that House vowing forward to make charges against
clergymen of the Church of England without first
taktug the pains to acquire correct information. Mem-
bers dal themselves very little credit by bringing for-
ward ataertions which could not be proved when they
were inquired into.

Colonel SAL WEY thought the House was very
much indebted to the Hon. Members fur Coekermouth
and Marylebcne for bringing these abuses under the
notice of the. House. He contended that the chapel at
Windsor, being a royal property, any one of the Royal
Family had a full right to be buried there without any
fee whatever. The whole property of the chapter be•
longed to the order of which they were merely the
priests.
Mr. REYNOLDS was very much satisfied at the pre-
sent discussion, because after Parliament had spent some
five months io 6:.;oldieg' the Pope and Cardinal Wiseman,
it was now exercLiog its privileges of poking into an-
other hole. With regard to tho question before the
House, as the dean and chapter were salaried officers,
he did not bee a hat right they had to fees whatever.
—(Hear, hear.) For once he had to thank
the Honourable Member for l'ilarylabone, though
that did not often occur with them, for that Hon.
Baronet had been so long engaged in scolding him (Mr.
Reynolds) that he had at last received among them the
name of "Conciliation Hedl."—(Laughter.)
Mr. HAWES said he had only to state in reply to the
Right Hon. Geutlerean (Mr. Gladstone), that. the Go-
'erne:ens had no present intention of introducing any
me t‘tire in regard to the Colonial Church.
Mr. C. LEWIS then brought up the report of the
Committee of .Suppl 7.
Sir DE LACY ]VANS called attention to the case
of Sir George %\ esthall, who, he complained, had not
been fairly treated by the Admiralty, to whom he had
applied for employment in her Majesty's navy on the
American coast, with which he was acquainted.
Admiral DUNDAS denied that Sir George West-
ball had done se. He could bear testimony to the value
ef. that officer, but having made inquiries, he found
that no
application had been made by him to the Ad-
miralty since 1837.
Sir DE LACY E,VANS distinctly denied that state-
ment.
Admiral DUNDAS thought such language improper
and discourteous, and ought not to be allowed in the
Howe. It would not certainly be allowed out of doors.
Sir DE LACY EVANS said he was quite ready to
meet the Gallant Admiral.—(Cries of " Order.")
A brief altercation followed between the Gallant
Admiral and General, but, at the desire of the Speaker,
Sir DE LACY EVANS withdrew his expressions,
and the subject then dropped.
On the vote of 500001. for civil contingencies being
read,
Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that it be reduced by
2261, the sure ;:aid to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor.

The Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill passed through
Committee.

MERCANTILE MARINE AMENDMENT BILL.
The House went into Committee on this Bill.

Clauses 1 to 15 inclusive were agreed to without die.
cussion.

Oa clause 17,

Mr. ANDERSON moved an amendment for the pur-
pose of modifying the system of advance notes. He
proposed to make these advance notes granted by the
shipowner, recoverable from him under all the circum-
stances, whether the sailor deserted or not. This, he
thought, would be to make the shipowner careful to
grant them only to sailors of known character and repu-
tation.

Mr. JAMES CLAY supported the amendment.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that though the system
of advance nutes was open to many objections, yet he
should not consent to the present amendment, because
he thought it would lead to to the entire abolition of the
.lystem, and be the cause of many hardships to the
sailors.
After a short discussion the amendment was with-
drawn.

The clause was then agreed to.
The remaining clauses of the Bill were then agreed to,
as also were the schedules.

Mr. LABOUCHEUE proposed a clause to empower
any naval or consular officer, in case of a shipwreck
abroad, to hold an inquiry into the circumstances of such
shipwreck.

The clause was agreed to.
Mr. ANDERSON proposed a clause to repeal the
clause of the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 112, which
exempis merchant seamen who enter a vessel of war from
forfeiture of their wages.
Sir F. BARING said particular directions had been
issued from the Admiralty on this subject, and every
recurrencepreceution woofutlhdobsee taken
instances to o
prevent
f ab a thendo n unnecessaryment
T h e
present system, however, was a great protection to the
seaman, who ought not to be overlooked in this discus-
sion; and he confessed it would be imprudent to deprive
him of that protection by allowing this clause to be in-
troduced, which would have the efftct of leaving the sea-
man entirely at the mercy of the master.
Mr. RICARDO was very much astonished at the
course taken by the Right Hon. Baronet the First Lord
of the Admiralty. Hitherto he had laboured under the
impression that the law now complained of was insti-
tuted for the purpose of manning the navy, but now it
appeared that a second object of it was to protect the
seaman against the ill-treatment of the master. Well,
if ihat were so, why not allow the seaman to desert into
the merchant service as well as the navy? He
for one had no faith in Admiralty regulations, and
es he thought the existing law acted unjustly towards
the shipowner, he should certainly support the intro-
duction of the clause.

Mr. W AWN also supported the clause.
Sir J. GRAHAM would be glad to know if the lion.
Gentleman who proposed the clause intended to divide.
Mr. ANDERSON said he did.
Sir J. GRAHAM said, under these circumstances
he must request that the discussion be adjourned.
It was not right that an important question of this
nature should run the risk of being carried by reason of
the thinness of the House. He was not quite sure
that it would be possible to man the navy without im•
pressmi,nt, but certainly it was not possible to keep the
navy in a state of efficiency without this power of aug-
menting the service upon the volunteer principle. lie
should therefore oppose the clause.
Mr. FORSTER thought no reason whatever had been
given for the continuance of the power, and announced
his intention to bring the salvage question under con-
sideration early next session, unless in the meantime it
a as taken up by the Government.
After a few words from Admiral DUNDAS,
Mr CLAY reminded the Committee, the clause would
not prevent the seaman joining a man-of war while he
was engaged in a merchant ship if ho so thought fit, but
it would prevent an improper influence being used to in-
duce him to do so.

The Committee then divided, when there appeared—
For the clause ... ... 12
Against it ... ... ,•• ~, 32
Majority —2O

The clause was accordingly lost.
Mr. ANDERSON next moved the insertion of a
clause to the effect that such provisions of the General
Morchsnt Seamen's Act, 8 and 9 Vic., c. 112, and of
the Mercantile Marine Act 1850, as compels seamen i❑
the merchant service to obtain and produce register
tickets, shall be repeal,d.

Mr. LABOUCIIERE opposed the clause. Though
he was quite ready to admit that there was ample room
for improvement in the registration and ticket system.
The clause was withdrawn.

Mr. ANDERSON then moved a clause to the effect,
that such provisions of this Act, and of the Mercantile
Marine Act, 1850, as apply to the personal supervision
of shipping masters over the engagements and discharge
of seamen, shall only be applicable when the services of
a shipping [master for that purpose shall be
required by the master, owner, or any seaman
or seamen, concerned in such engagement or discharge;
and nothing contained in the said Acts, or either of
them, shall authorise any shipping master to interfere in
the engagements or discharge of any seaman or seamen
unless the master or owner, seaman or seamen, shall
request the interference of such shipping master for
that purpose.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said, although this proposal
came before the House in the shape of a clause, it was
nothing more nor less than a modest proposal to repeal
that part of the Mercantile Marine Act which related to the
suppression of the crimping system. He bad received
assurances from nearly every seaport in the kingdom of
the admirab!e working of that Act, and be hoped nothing
would be done to disturb its provisions.
Mr. 4110FEA L'l: supported the clause, and denied that
the operation of the Act had been at all satisfactory.
After a few words from Mr. SPAWN the clause was
negatived without a division.

the preamble was then:agreed to, and the House hav-
ing resumed the report was ordered to be recived on
Mlnday.
CONVEYANCE OF MAILS BY RAILWAYS BILL.
Mr. G. LEWIS moved that this Bill be read a second
tim, pro j orma, in order to be printed with amendments.
It involved mere m,itters of detail, which could be better
considered in Committee.

Mr. GROGAN opposed :the Bill, which he said
was contrary to the existing law.
Mr. GLYNN would consent to the second reading, on
the understanding that the discussion on the priciple
of the Bill should take place in Commitee.
Mr. B.DENISON considered that the Bill would give
to the Post- &Act, authorities much greater control over
railways than they ought t' possess.
The Bill, after some further discussion, was then read
a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday.
