Some attempts were made to induce the Govern-

related to the facilitating of religious in-
struction to the inmates of workhouses,
by ministers of their own persuasion, met with
some opposition from Mr. NEWDEGiI E and others.
The clause in dispute was, however, carried on a
division, but the cDmmittee was adjourned until

clauses. The Appropriation Bill was passed, and

The Corporation of the City of London is never
behind in giving honour where honour is due, and
accordingly the Court of Common Council have
lost no time in presenting their testimonial to the
hero of Abyssinia. Before the victorious General
had set foot in England the Common Council had
determined upon their gift and its form of presen-
tation, and yesterday Baron NAPIER of Magdala
was invited to the Guildhall to receive the honorary
freedom of the City of Loudon, together with a
sword of the value of 200 guineas, as a token of the
admiration felt for the fortitude, skill, energy, and
promptitude displayed by him in bringing the
Abyssinian war to a successful and brilliant close
All due honour was paid to the ceremonial, and all
the chief dignitaries of the City were present, as
well as many visitors from the west. When Lord
NAPIER arrived he was received with the greatest
enthusiasm, both within and without the Hall, the
court rising to receive him. After the formal cere-
mony had been gone through, the Chamberlain, Mr.
BENJAMIN SCOTT, made an interesting and appro-
priate address. The Abyssinian war, he re-
marked, was in many ways exceptional of its
kind. Unusual and apparently incongruous ele-
ments contributed harmoniously to the result. The
army, English as well as Indian, the navy, and the
engineers were alike represented. Following the
example of old Rome in her days of conquest
tributaries were used as auxiliaries. Three con-
tinents furnished their respective contingents. The
soldiers of Europe, Mahommedans and Ilindoos of
Asia, as well as African mule-drivers, made up the
motley array which acted with as much unanimity
as gallantry." The natural difficulties of the under-
taking, too, rendered it exceptional in its nature.
A port was constructed, a base ,of supply formed,
a railway and telegraph laid down, two chains of
mountains surmounted, and water sought for
at every post along the "bridge of 400 miles"
which, in Lord NAPIER'S own words, " the soldier
constructed as he passed on to victory." The
Chamberlain, after congratulating the General not
less on the humanity, the discipline, and the un-
failing good conduct of his troops than on their
military successes, concluded an eloquent address
by presenting to Lord NAPIER the copy of the re-
cord. The General, in acknowledging the honour
dole him, was careful, as he invariably is, to share
it with his whole force. At the grand banquet
which took place in the evening at the Mansion-
holm the PlllO thin Wad eyen perceptible.

Darma, a very religious prince, son of Kasinwo,
an Indian King, and the twenty-eighth descendant
of Tiaka, a negro monarch (1023 8.c.) landed in
China in the year A.D. 510. Probably a Brahmin
or a Buddhist of great austerity, he employed all his
care to diffuse a sense of religion, and for this
purpose denied himself rest, sleep, and relaxation.
lie lived in the open air, and devoted himself day
and night to prayer and contemplation of the
nature and beneficence of God, aiming at eventual
absorption into the Divine Essence when purified
by long prayer, fast, and vigil. Flesh is flesh,
however. After several years, worn out by want
of food and sleep, Darma the great and good,
involuntarily closed his eyes, and after that
slept soundly, reckless of anything but rest. Be-
fore dawn he awoke, full of sorrow and despair at
having thus broken his vow,snatched up a knife and
cut off both his offending eyelids. When it grew
light, he discovered that two beautiful shrubs
had grown from them, and eating some of the
leaves, he was presently filled with new joy,
courage, and strength to pursue his holy medi
tations. The new plant was the tea plant, and
Darma recommended the use of it to his disciples
and followers. Kempfer gives a portrait of this
Chinese and Japanese saint, at whose feet there is
already a reed to indicate that he had traversed seas
and rivers, and had come from afar. The le-
gend seems to prove that from the earliest times
tea was known among students and austere
people a 3 a dispeller of drowsiness. Its first use was
no doubt accidental, as was that of coffee, the
virtues of which, the Arab legend says, were dis-
covered by some goats who had browsed on leaves
of the coffee plant, and became unusually lively
after their meal. It is a singular fact, too,
that Jesuit writers who visited China in
the reign of James the First expressly state that
they used the herb tea common among t'►e
Chinese, and found that it kept their eyes open, and
lessened the fatigue of writing sermons and hearing
absolutions that lasted late into the night. No doubt
the figure of Darma and Lis reed could be found on
old Chian.--Dickens's " All the Year Round."

The House of Commons, yesterday, considered
the Report of the Select Committee on the Elec-
tric Telegraphs Bill, and considerable progress was
made in it. Mr. GOSCIIEN, it is true, was anything
but complaisant, and though he admitted that the
Select Committee had made progress, he demurred
to the financial part of the echerne ; at the same
tLin? he said that at this time of the Session it
Nvc tad not do to interfere with the arrangements ;
and after spending some time in discussing the dif-
ficulties in the way of the measure, he laid great
`teas on the fact that the new Parliament would
he in any way bound by the provisions of it,
