The following bills were considered and read a third

Manchester and Buxton Road.
The South-London Railway (No. 3) Bill was read a

Mr. LAING brought up a bill for regulating the sale of

ment-rooms. The bill was read a first time, and ordered
for a se mnd reading on Monday next.
PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
Several petitions were presented in favour of a compre-
hensive measure of Parliamentary Reform.
DUTY ON BOOKS.
Mr. M. MILNES gave notice that, in the committee on
the Customs Act, he would move that the duty chargeable
on all books, except English books, imported from abroad,
should be discontinued.

RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL.
Mr. L. KING moved the second reading of this bill.
The fault of the measure was that it did not go far enough,
but that defect could be remedied in committee. The ob-
ject of the bill was simply to extend to clergymen of the
Church of England the same freedom with regard to reli-
gious worship enjoyed by Nonconformists and other
sects of Dissenters. As the law at present stood,
clergymen of the Church of England could not
preach except in places licensed by the bishop of the diocese,
while Dissenting ministers could preach without any such
restriction. There were several places in the country so
remote from the parish church that a large number were
deprived of spiritual teaching. In many localities so situ-
ated there were persons who would advance money and
supply different buildings for the performance of divine
worship, and there were several clergymen without cures
who would be happy to preach if they could do so legally.
Having quoted an extract from a speech recently delivered
by the Earl of Shaftesbury, to show the extent of the spiri-
tual destitution that prevailed throughout the country, not-
withstanding the means provided for public worship, said
he had the evidence of a clergyman to prove that preaching
in theatres was attended with the most beneficial results°
among a class who would not have entered an ordinary
place of worship. Yet, according to the opinion of Dr.
Phillimoro, preaching in such places was clearly illegal,
and opposed to canon law. Ho appealed to the house to
pass the bill on the ground of expediency and Christianity.
Mr. H ;RSFALL seconded the motion.
Mr. WALPOLE contended that the bill proposed, in
reality, an alteration in the canon law and would prove
utterly inoperative in accomplishing the object proposed.
Lord R. CECIL also opposed the bill, and argued that
it would virtually deprive the bishop of the diocese of due
control over a clergyman who might, under certain circum-
stances, preach heretical doctrines and create religious dis-
turbance. The noble lord alluded to the presence in the
house of persons of the Jewish persuasion, who were not
in favour of the teaching of Christianity.
Sir F. GOLDSMID, who was loudly cheered, said he
would not have taken part in the present debate, except
for the reference of the noble lord to members of the house
who professed his (Sir F. Goldsmid's) religious profes-
sion. He and other members of that profession were de-
sirous that persons born in the Christian religion should
be instructed in Christian knowledge. (llear, hear.) As
an evidence of eincerity, he would refer to the manner both
himself and others of his co-religionists who were con-
nected with the country by ties of property discharged their
duty as landlords in reference to this matter. They had
established several churches and schools where Christian
instruction was supplied and religious ceremony performed.
(Rear, hear.)
Mr. MILNES bore personal testimony to the manner in
which the three members of the Jewish families in that
house had discharged their duties, He strongly objected
to the bill.

Mr. GLADSTONE expressed regret at the allu-
sion of the noble lord to members of the Jewish
profession, and maintained that it was very un-
likely the deliberate character of the house would
be affected by the admission of members of that persuasion.
The views of the noble lord tended to the exclusion of all
those who ware not members of the Church of England..
More than 30 years had elapsed since they admitted persons
of different denominations into that house, and, as the re-
presentative of a large number of clergymen of the Church
of England, he could bear testimony to the admirable
manner in which they acted in abstaining from using their
position in the house to injure the interests of the Church
establishment. He opposed the bill as calculated to intro-
duce anarchy in the discipline of the Church.
Mr. HonsFALL and Mr. AYRTON supported the bill.
Mr. CROSS assented to the
_principle of the bill, but con-
sidered that its details should be altered.
Mr. DANBY SETH° UR supported the bill, as it was
calculated to extend the utility of the Church of England,
by imposing a greater pressure on the bishops, and improv-
ing church discipline.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the bill be read a second
time that day six months.

After some observations from Mr. BASS in support of,
and Mr. ADDERLET against, the hill,
Sir G. C. LEWIS entered a protest against the doc-
trine laid down by the noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) as to the
Christian character of the house being affected by the ad•
mission of Jews into the Legislature. He felt bound to
support the amendment, as he considered that the
bill would not effect the object of the promoter. It
had been objected to the Church of England by
those in favour of the bill that it did not provide
sufficient accommodation for those who were desirous of
attending divine worship, and it was contended that by the
provisions of the bill that defect would be remedied. That
he denied, for in his opinion the principle of allowing divine
worship to be celebrated in private houses would tend to
the extension of religious discord and religious fanaticism.
For instance, a person who might quarrel with the bishop
of a diocese might offer a building for the purpose of divine
worship, and introduce a minister to preach there who,
being independent virtually of his clerical superior, might
disseminate whatever doctrines he fancied. (Hear,
hear.) If it could be shown that any practical
grievances existed in reference to the Church of Eng-
land further than the want of adequate accommoda-
tion, which could be met in a different way than that pro-
posed by the bill, he would be prepared to consider a mea-
sure that would remedy such grievances. He must, how-
ever, strongly protest against a bill like the present, which
merely announced general principles without supplying the
machinery requisite to accomplish the object contemplated
by the mover.
Mr. NEWDEGATE strongly opposed the bill.
Mr. BAINES, as a disinterested party, advocated the
bill, which he considered would free the clergymen of the
Church of England from unjust and unnecessary re-
restrictions. He believed that it would bo conferring a
greater benefit on the people than any evil that would re-
sult therefrom if they facilitated the means of disseminating
religious instruction, and the performance of the church
service more generally throughoty, the country.
Mr. LEFICOY opposed the bill as its provisions extended
to Ireland, and as it would not be productive of beneficial
results either to the clergy or the community.
Lord ASHLEY opposed the bill, because he objected to
any interference with the legislative functions of the pre-
lates of the Church of England.
Col. SYKES supported the bill, and alluded to the prac-
tice that prevailed in India, where the performance of Di-
vine worship took place in places other than those that were
consecrated, and which was attended with considerable ad-
vantage to the cause of morality and religion. (Hear.)
Mr. HARDY opposed the bill on the ground that it was
not called for, and that it would lead to confusion in the
Church of England, and to the introduction of nonconfor-
mity in its doctrines.
Mr. CONINGHAM supported the bill, and he believed
it was founded on the principle of religious freedom. He
contended that the principle of liberty applied equally to
religionas well as to common sense, and he regretted to see
the Chancellor of the Exchequer always on ecclesiastical
subjects come forward attired in the drapery of protection.
Mr. MELLOR supported the bill, on the ground that
there was no other measure before the house to meet an
admitted evil.
Mr. SPOONER supported the bill for the same reason.
Mr. LOCKE KING replied, and suggested that, as the
house appeared to be in favour of the principle of the bill,
it should be read a second time and then committed pro
forma, when he would endeavour to meet the views of hon.
members in the alterations he would propose. (Cries of
" No, no," " Hear, hear," " Divide, divide.")
The house then divided--

COUNTY CLARE ELECTION.
Lord STANLEY brought up the report of the commit-

petition against the return of the sitting members, which
was to the effect that Colonel Luke White was not duly re-
turned, and that bribery and treating had been committed,
but without the consent or knowledge of the said Colonel
White.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.
CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE HAVIARKET
THEATRE AND ASSAULT.-Mr. Henry Hugh Beckett, of
12, John-street, Bedford-row, solicitor, was charged before
Mr. Beadon with being drunk, creating a disturbance at
the Haymarket Theatre, and also with assaulting police
constable George Stroud, 144 A, a constable on duty at the
theatre.

From the evidence of the constable, it appeared that at
half-past 10 on the previous night, while on duty in the
Haymarket Theatre, he saw the defendant, who was in the
boxes, standing up and talking at the top of his voice
at the time that the performances were going on. Seve-
ral persons requested him to be quiet, and finding
that he Would not he (Strand) went to him and told him that
he must sit down and be quiet or leave the theatre. The
defendant called him a -- vagabond, and asked why he
spoke to him. lie was then, to prevent further disturbance,
obliged to remove him from the boxes, and in doing so the
defendant struck him a blow on the chin, and he then took
him into custody and to the Vine-street station.
Mr. Beadon asked why he assaulted the constable ?;
The defendant said he was taken very ill, and wished to
know whether his worship would allow him to make the
constable a present of a sovereign ?
Mr. Beadon said he would allow nothing of the kind
whatever.

The defendant was then ordered to pay 405., or a month.
for the assault.
