In All Probability The End Of The Presen...
of tliem ; and one . of the . ' telegraphic accounts mentions that " a rubble , " of some three or four thousand flying across the Doab , apparently towards Dude , had been nearly dispersed by General . Lir-( j akd . The sun is the most formidable enemy with which our troops have to ( contend , ; . but the ifaealth of tlie army is , upon t > ife ^ 6 ^> mirpr isni $$ j $ r gltod . Tlie point of greatest intcrtisb in the Foreign . WeKvs of tlie week is the decision , of the Neapsftfcan Tribunal of Maritime Captures in tliD case- « i £ tJhe
Cagliari . That tribunal ha ' s declared thattfke . capture of the vessel was legal , and that the proprietors and captain are to pay the costs of the proceedings of the court . The question , as one of the Turin papers says , now is , Will the Neapolitan authorities proceed to the seizure of any other vessel belonging to the proprietors of the Cagliari in the event of thenfailing to pay the said costs ? So tliat the case seems likely to be opened again on a new ground , if tins last move is not merely an insolent flourish
on the part of Naples . Whatever may be . the intentions of the "Neapolitan Government ,, Sardinia is at the present moment in the best possible condition to deal -with her . Of the confidence which is felt in the Government of "Victor Emmantteii we have a significant indication in the fact that 4 O , 00 O , OQ 0 fr . bare just been advanced to it by Hothschild of Paris , and by the Commercial Bank of Turin . " Another railway accident" has occtirred , and seventeen or eighteen persons have been injured—- several - frightfully . -- The accident ¦ happened on the Ramsgate and . Margate branch of the
South-Eastern Railway on "Wednesday . It appears that a train , composed of first , second , and third-class carriages , was approachng the Chilli am station from London , when the crauk-axlc of the engine broke , and part of the train was shattered to pieces . We have yet to wait the result of the inquiry which will in due course be instituted into the origin of ibis melancholy affair . At present , the occurrence appears to liave been purely accidental ; but the keenest scrutiny must be made , —for it muy > after all , turn out that a proper watchfulness would have led to another engine being chosen .

At Craighton cottage , "Keseoclc , tho deposit was observed on tho top of water * atight in a cask "from tho roof of the house , like a thick cream . The sulphurous substance wae skimmed off and dried on a piece of flannel . When dry it was a fine

Imperial' Parliament, Monday, June 2slh....
IMPERIAL' PARLIAMENT , Monday , June 2 Slh . ' THE LORDS' COMMITTEE ROOMS . Ix the ISotjse of Lokds , Lord Ravenswobth brought under *} he > eonsideration of iJhe House the iittjpSrfect ventilwijiem of their LorchftSps committee iWWis , « nd suggested that < tihe best rnolle of ventilation \> ould ibe from lhe * op . T * fe THAMES . < Pbe Earl of Maujiesbuhy . -announced that the Goverfrmerit fcad resolved to adopt measures to deodorize the sewers during the not months of the year , according to a plan that has succeeded extremely well in Leicester .
That was the only way they could meet the evil arising from the state of the river at presetnt , and the Government were ready to introduce a bill , if necessary , to provide a guarantee for payment by rates of any expenses that should be incurred . He begged their Lordships to consider that fear is a -very ill 'counsellor : notwithstanding the apprehensions expressed , they should not act in a hurry in this case . To carry ont expensive operations , the employment of 500 or 1000 men would be necessary , and those men ' could not without danger be employed in such -works on the river in the present state of the weather . It was much better , therefore , to wait until autumn , when the weather is cooler .
Government would take into consideration the further measures necessary , and not a moment would be lost in adopting such measures when the workmen could be safely employed on . the river . —Lord Brougham suggested the appointment of a responsible body , operating through the Government , with strong powers to act in the matter . During the first week in August , cholera is frequently prevalent . —In answer to the Duke of Newcastle the Earl of Matjuesbuhy said the bill would entirely apply to the temporary objects that are necessary . The larger measures were under the consideration of the Government . THE BOLJTICA . T .. SERVICES OF THE CHURCH . Earl Stanhope moved an address to her Majesty , praying her to take into consideration the Royal proclamation of the first year of her reign , commanding the use of the forms of prayer and service made for the 5 th of November , the 30 th of January , the 29 th of May , and the 20 th of June ; and , should her Majesty see fit , to order the substitution for the said proclamation of one declaring her Majesty ' s pleasure that only tho service appointed for the 20 th of June , being the anniversary of her Majesty ' s accession , shall henceforth be printed and published . The services which he desired to see abolished had been simply founded on Royal proclamations , and not on votes of Convocation , or on Acts of Parliament . He regarded them as blots and stains on the beautiful and majestic Liturgy of the Church of England . A century and a lialf had elapsed since the
the Propert y Qualification Bill ; the re = t «™ < fcie ** y private bills . were Tlie debate on Earl Stanhope ' s motion havinc been resin-nea ^ and his Lordship having finished his speech t ! he Archbishop of Canterbury gave his hearty surmor ? to thewiotion , and was followed on the same sidehv Lord Ebury , the Bishop of London , the Bishon of OxfoISd , tlie Bishop of Cash el , Lord Campb ell (^ desired-to see the daily service in that House for th & failure of the Gunpowder Plot abolished ) , and Lord Ciianworth ( who agreed in the remarks of Lord Campbell , and intimated that , in default of any one else doing so , he would take some steps for effecting the re movalof the prayer alluded to ) . —In the course of hi " observations , the Bishop of Oxford said he could not
accept these services as proper e xponents of the national gratitude and humiliation . They are in a different tone from the prayers of the Church ; are . too political toopolemical , too ¦ epigrammatical ; and have none of that dlrastened Sevotion which the Liturgy of the Church , possessed from the earliest times . He proposed to alter the motion of the noble Earl by omitting the prayer to her Majesty to issue a new proclamation with respect to the service performed on the accession . He wished to leave that service as it is , and thought they should pause before they gave any new authority to it . The other services were prepared by Convocation , and have ecclesiastical authority ; but the accession service has no such authority .
On the other hand , the motion was opposed by the Duke of Marlborough ( who , however , admitted that the services might be advantageously modified ) , the Bishop of Bangor , Viscount Dunga ^ jnon ( who looked on the motion with alarm" ) , the Bishop of Ciiiohestee and Lord Redesdale . The Earl of Malmesbuky said he did not rise to oppose the motion , but he thought fhat Earl Stanhope had not taken the best course to effect his object . The noble Earl ought to have asked their Lordships to
repeal the statutes , because , if they were repealed , the proclamations would fall to the ground . It was also desirable that the other House should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion upon the question . —Eart Stanhope having replied , the motion ( in the amended form suggested by the Bishop of Oxford ) was carried . Their Lordships adjourned at a quarter to nine . At the morning sitting of the House of CofcrMOXs , the Univkusitiks ( Scotland ) Bu / i , was considered in committee , and several clauses were adopted . -
coLMERiES . In the evening , Colonel Kingscote asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the decision given by Mr . Howard , upon the memorial presented to him by the colliery proprietors in the Forest of Dean , in July , 1857 , was founded on the opinion of the law officers of the Crown ; and , if riot , whether there would be any objection to take their opinion . —Mr . Hamilton said the answer of Mr . Howard was not founded upon the opinions of tho law officers of the Crown . The provisions of the Act of Parliament in regard to the erection of machinery for mines appeared to be so clear , that it was not considered that tho opinion of the law officers could be necessary . Mr , Howard had informed the proprietors that he was ready to afford them every possible means for carrying out their wishes . FUNDED DEBT BIIXi . On the motion for going into committee 011 this bill , Mr . Wilson moved , as an amendment , " That this House is of opinion that the extraordinary expenditure inourred during a war , beyond what is obtained from taxation , should be raised in the form of terminable loans , tho redemption of which should be provided for within a specified period after the return of peace ; or if , with a view to greater economy , it is raised by loans in the shape of permanent annuities , that a provision should be made for the liquidation of the same by moderate annual instalments after tho wnr expenditure ahnll have ceased , from surplus revo » nc to bo provided for that purpose . " Enlarging on tho themes thus opened , Mr . Wilson observed that , " taking tho amount of the National Debt at the commencement of tho late war , and tho amount at tho end of tho war , ho found that , during "that period , tho funded and unfunded debt was increased by 29 , 000 , 000 / . ; and , by acts passed during tho war , obligations won ! entered into to pay 2 , 000 , 000 / . of bonds in 1857 , 2 , 000 , 0007 . in 1858 , 2 , 000 , 000 ? . in the succeeding 3 'ear , and 1 , 000 , 000 / . in 18 U 0 . There is also a sinking fund of 1 , 600 , 000 / . Tliciy had liquidated 2 , 000 , 000 / . of bonds in 1857 , ni « l had paid the instalment of tho sinking fund ; but thin year it . was proposed by tlio Government that thev should
liostmostrecent of the events celebrated had taken place ; and the language of the services is often like that of a party pamphlct . " In the service for the 5 th of November we are directed , instead of the prayer for the Church Militant , to use another , in which thanks are returned to Almighty God , ' who on this day didst miraculously preserve our Church and State from tho secret contrivances and hellish malice of Popish conspirators ; and on this tlay also didst begin to give us a mighty deliverance from tho cruel tyranny and oppression of the same cruel and bloodthirsty enemies . ' And in anothor part of the same service we are warned against those who are declared , with singular alliteration , to ' turn religion into rebellion and faith into faction . ' Now , he wished their Lordships to consider what is implied in this . It is implied that there is some connexion between tho tenets of Roman Catholics and the
practice of assassination . ( JZear , hear . ') He was not standing thoro to defend the errors and corruptions of the Roman Catholic church , but ho was bound to say , in all justice and foirnesB , that in the days of James I . there were many Roman Catholics who were not identified in sentiment with the midnight conspirators who attempted tho death of tho King and tho Parliament ; and surely no one would venture to say that , from tho Revolution of 1688 , when tho present form of prayor was established , down to this time , the members of tho Roman Catholic Church were to bo regarded in tho light of con-He to
spirators . " (^ ff & ar . ) proposed proceed by way of an address to the Crown , rather than by an act repealing tho old statute , because , tho momont tho Crown ceases to provide tho services , the statuto will become obsolete . Kven now , clergymen are not compelled to read these services , as they form no part of tho Prayer Book " ns by law established : " vory few churches retain them , and even some cathedrals have recently nllowod tho custom to lapse . Tho tendency of such services is to make tho Cliurch political ; nnd ho thought it would bo nn advantage to got rid of thorn .
