The house adjourned at a quarter to one . TUESDAY , AcGust 5 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —I *> rd MOSTBAGLE mOYed the s ? cond reading of the Removal of Doubts as to Penalties on Assumption of Ecclesiastical Titles Bill . The noble lord observed upon the many uncertainties and cross interpretations to which the clauses of-the Ecclesiastical Titles Act were subject , and insisted on the necessity of providing some further definitions and explanations . The Marquis of LiSSDOwss and the Lobd Chak-CELLOH contended that the Ecclasiastical Titles Act as it stoo < t * R 3 sufficiently precise and intelligible . Some farther conversation followed , after which the motion was negatived ny consent .

      A variety of bills were advanced a stage respectively , and their lordship ' s adjourned . DOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the noon sitting Of the house the Lords' amendments upon the Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill were considered and agreed to . The committal of the Patent Law Amendment Sill Was resumed , and several clauses passed after a good deal of discussion . The report on the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management Bill was brought up , and the bill ordered to stand for third reading to-morrow . The County Courts further Extension Bill was read a third time and passsed . ;

      The Military Kkights of Wixdsoh . —In the evening Col . Sawlbb rose to move " That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the case and claims of the Military Knights of "Windsor , set forth and referred to in their two petitions presented to tUe house on the 7 th of August , 1848 , and tfce 23 rd of February , 1847 , and which are further set forth and referred to in the petition of the 20 th of April , 1849 ; by several electors , tax and ratepayers in the borough of Windsor . The Secretary of State for the Home Department had on a previous occasion argued that this was altogether a law case , but he ( Col . Salwey ) contended that it went far beyond that—for in the claims of these poor knights the dignity and prerogative of the

      crown as sovereign of the military order of the garter were involved . - The veteran or arms knights , as they used to be called , were established in 1348 by Edwaad III ., at the same period that he founded the order of tho Garter , and he associated these poor knights with the Dean and Canons of Windsor , who were to be their stewards , granting a donation in lands , &c ., for their subsistence as a reward for their services in the wars . The misfortune was , that the associating them with the Dean and Chapter as one corporation—for almost from their first establishment the history of these poor knights had in consequence been that of all other bodies of men placed under cathedral or ecclesiastical corporotions—Edward III . placed these

      knights on the same footing as the canoes , and granted them Is . a day for . maintenance : but , although the incomes of the Dean and Canons had increased enormously , and they had drawn large sums from the revenues out of the funds set apart for these military knights , and notwithstanding the increase in the value of the property would now allow £ 250 a year to each of these poor men , they still received the miserable stipend of Is . a day , the dean and the canons retaining the . surplus . Under the will of Henry VIIL , a new dotation of lands and hereditaments to the amount of £ 600 a year issued for the support of these knights , which had been afterwards confirmed by statutes of Elizabeth and Mary . The original number of the poor knights was twenty-six , but now they consisted of

      thirteen under the letters patent ot Queen Elizabeth , and five on a lower foundation endowed under a different wi 1 , making eighteen in all . The £ 600 -a year had now Increased to £ 12 , 000 , hut no addition to the allowance had been made , and parliament was even called upon to repair the houses in which these persons were lodged , instead of the charge being defrayed by those who drew this enormous surplus . Under the deed of covenant between the crown aud the dean and canons , lie contended that the claims put forward by these military knights were indisputable . The hon . and gallant officer was proceeding to read the deed of covenant , the will of Henry VIIL , the confirmatory statutes of Elizabeth and Mary , and other documents bearing on the case , when

      An IIos . Member noticed that there were uot forty members present , and on the house being -counted , and the requisite number of members not being found present , the house adjourned at halfpast six o ' clock . WEDNESDAY , August 6 . HOUSE 05 LORDS . —Their lordships sat for a short time , and advanced several bills a stage . HOUSE OF COMMOKS . —Episcopal a > d Capitular Estates Management ( If o . 2 ) Bill . —On tne order of the day being read for tho third reading of this bill , Mr . Hkslkt said , after fuller consideration of this measure , he believed it would work injuriously both to the Church and to the lessees , and that it was not fair , or wise , or decent to legislate upon this subject in so precipitate a manner . He , therefore , moved to defer the third reading for three months :

      This amendment was supported by Colonel Sib-XHOBF . Mr . J . A . Sunn observed that the lessees , as a body , who were at present in a state of painful uncertainty , were greatly interested in this bill becoming law . Though falling far short of what was required , he hoped it would pass , preparatory to future legislation . Mr . Alcock , Sir H . Tfilloughby , and Mr . Aglionby gave a qualified support to the bill . Mr . Rotjkoell Palmer said he should vote for the third reading of the bill , because it would not have the effect of pledging the ecclesiastical corporations to any future legislation recognising the alleged rights of the lessees , which had no legal or equitable basis , but were founded upon a course of mismanagement by bodies intrusted with public

      interests , from which the lessees had derived conside-JSffrla benefit , and no man conld acquire a vested Jftisrest from the mismanagement of public pro-H ' ly . The church bad been affected incidentally by modern legislation . Parliament now always acted as if church property was the sole fund out ' of which church extension was to be provided for ; the interest of the . public , therefore , required that church , property shauld not be sacrificed to the interests of individuals , unless their claims rested upon a solid basis , legal or equitable . Mr . Headlam dissented from some of Mr . Palmer ' s views ' He denied the position that the mismanagement of publio bodies ' did not confer rights upon individuals ; and he thought it was not for th ^ . interest of the church , for fine sake of inoreasing ' its property , to aothatahly towards church ¦

      lessees . ' . , After some farther discussion , ¦ - . Mr . Heslbi withdrew , his . motion , and : the bill was read a third time . . ~ . _ .. ) . On the motion of the . Solicitor-General certain amendments were made in the bill , including a clause protecting sub-lesaees who had covenants of renewal ; .. antt the bill passed ... ; .

      The Marquis of Lansdowkb replied in so low a tone of voice across the table , that it was impossible to catch two consecutive words of his answer in the gallery ; and ; noble lords sitting close by hini were obliged to make ah effort to hear what he said . The noble marquis was understood to have said , that-his noble friend ( Lord Palmerston ) had made application to the court of Rome on this subject , and from the reply which he had received there , was but little hope of the privilege being granted .- .. - - • = Some other bills were advanced a stage , and the house adjourned at eight o ' clock .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The Patent Law Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed . - . ";' . ' ,. After considerable discusBion , a series of resolutions were adopted respecting the order to be observed * by hon , members ; to hear the speech proroguing parliament , ' : by which it was organised on the basis of the ballot , for selecting and appointing the places-of such number of members as could find convenient standing room in the area set apart for them in the Chamber of the Lords . Iu reply to questions from Sir . DE Lacy Evaks regarding the political condition of Piedmont , . and the treatment -of political prisoners by the Neapolitan government

      , Lord Palmerston expressed his assurance that Piedmont was likely to preserve a fair share of internal liberty , and an unassailable national independence , the popular constitution in that country having worked admirably hitherto . Respecting the second query , the noble lord complimented Mr . Gladstone for courage and humanity in denouncing the cruelties perpetrated upon the unfortunate detenus in the political prisons of Naples . The British government had not , however , thought it right to interpose any official remonstrances upon the subject , but hoping that the voice of

      public opinion might shame the Neapolitan authorities into better conduct , . he had transmitted copies of Mr . Gladstone's pamphlets to the ministers at the various European courts , with the intention that . a knowledge of the *; ts should be diffused as widel y as possibly . Colonel Sibthorp recapitulated the well known facts relating to the case of Mrs . Hicks , and after charging the Woods and Forests department with harshness and cruelty , enforced the claim of the dispossessed woman to compensation . The gallant member concluded by moving for certain papers connected with the subject . " , " .

      The motion was seconded by Lord D . Stuart , who contended that Mrs . Hicks had been treated with much inhumanity . Lord Seymour , who offered no objection to the motion itself , vindicated the conduct of bis department , who were bound under a peremptory act of Parliament , and their own oaths of office , to . prevent the invasion of the public parks , or the erection of buildings therein by

      private persons , on any pretext . The AVbodB and Forests were thus bound to do what they had done , and possessed no means of assigning compensation , if such-had been due to Mrs . Hicks , which , however , he denied . The subsequent denial of her request to be allowed to continue her traffic in cakes was an act for which the Duke of Wellington , as ranger of Hyde Park , was solel y responsible .

      Mr . Hume detailed the successive difficulties and delays that had been thrown in the way of his endeavour to obtain a select committee on the income tax . Although the committee themselves had decided upon postponing the publication of this evidence , he proposed a resolution orer-riding their decision , and ordering the full particulars to be printed immediately . ¦ . The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed that tbe committee had adopted their determination not to print the evidence upon the ground that h was altogether incomplete . In the fact itself , and in the conclusion founded upon it , he completely concurred . . Sir J . ^ Yalm ^ ley and Mr . W . Williams supported the motion . . . .

      The Speaker was on the point of patting the question , when :: ' The Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the bar , and , . advancing , to the table , summoned the house to attend the House of Lords to hear the royal assent given by commission to several bills . ' ' The coincidence between the question about to be decided and the sudden apparition ot Slack Rod , as he appears when summoning tbe house to attend a prorogation , elicited

      shouts of laughter . When the Speaker rose , in obedience to the summons , no one appeared disposed to follow him , but as his robes were vanishing through the doorway , Mr . T . Hobhouse rose slowly and followed in the Speaker ' s wake . -This caused a new shout , attributable , perhaps , to the hon . member ' s recent speech against concession to . the Lords ; . and there succeeded a call for Mr . Macgregor , who , amidst further symptoms of merriment , followed Mr . Hobhouse , aloag with two or three

      other members . After a few words from Mr . B . Cdchrane aud Colonel Thompson , : Mr . Hume replied , and the bouse divided , ' but the united numbers showing a total of less than forty members present , the division was null , and the house stood adjourned * '

      ( Freniour Second Edition of last week . J FRIDAY , August 1 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Several bills were pushed through a stage of progress without discussion . The royal assent was given by commission to a large batch of public and private Bills . Among the number the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill then became the law of the land ; ' '"'_"' . . . . .

      HOUSE . OF COMMONS . - The New Zealand Settlement Bill was read a third tune and passed . The : Metropolitan Interments Bill was reported from committee , and ordered to stand for the third reading on Saturday . The County Courts Further Extension Bill went through committee . , On the motion for the committee of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management ( No . 2 ) Bill , a prolonged discussion ensued .

      . Sir-B . Hall deprecated proceeding in so snmmary a fashion with a bill that largely compromised private interests .

A long debate , in which many honourable members shared Teepecting the propriety of throwing the bill , over for the preseut session , was interrupted by two divisions on successive motions aimed at that result .

      Lord J . Epsszll suggested that the bill should be committed pro forma ; and be proceeded with on Monday next .

      duties that are now levied on refined sugars imported into this country . .

      THEHIPPODROME . . | In these days of wonder , when each novelty , whils exciting the admiration of the beholder , but serves to whet the appetite for something that shall surprise him still more , the visitor to the Crystal Palace , unsated after his half-dozen hours spent amidst the industrial splendours of the world , looks round him on his exit in search of an evening ' s entertainment , in gome degree commensurate with the scene that he has just left , and within five minutes walk . of the World ' s Fair , he comes upon an exhibition that may well be allowed to vie with anything that he has hitherto seen , " The Hippodrome , " a building like an ancient circus , raised at the sole cost and risk of a private individual , Mr . Battr , the proprietor of Aatley ' s

      Amphitheatre , is calculated to accommodate between 14 , 000 and 15 , 000 petsons ; A . few yeats ago it would have been a world ' s wonder in itself . The equestrian corps engaged tor the performances is unparalleled iu magnitude . The novelties promised and producedperfect in the meaning of the word—vrere unheard of before . The extrordinary ascensiens of the Globe Arienne by M . E . Debach , is quite" incomprehensible The Ladies' Chariot Race , is a most inspiriting Bight , and there are few who will not be anxious to see the Ostrich Race . But to those who can duly appreciate the combination of elegance and skill we recommend a careful study of the performances of Mdle . Clementine Soullier and . 'M . Debach on his beautifully managed horse . Spacious as in the Amphitheatre ; the possibility of its being overcrowded could scaroely be imagined as being within tbo range of contingencies , yet it has already ,

      occurred . One day last week no less a sum than £ 150 was refused at the doors after 17 , 000 persons had been admitted . Nearly 100 members of the royal household honoured the performance with their presence on the occasion . In the evening Mdle .

The evidence of Lingford as to the latter point was not at all conclusive , and the strongest fact against Griffiths vf as that he said to Lingford and the two other prisoners , when they were all locked up jn the cell together , that the less they said about it the better it would be for them when they got out .

Directly they , were gone by sfle was spoken to by a person named Bennett , when she put her hand into her pocket and . missed her purse . The prisoner had been seen to put his hand into the proaeoutrix's pocket , take something out of it , and hand it over his shoulder to the man who was then in his company . The witness who had seen this was about to lay hold of the two men , but he was

      immediately followed by two other men who detained him , blithe got free from them by knocking one of them down . He then caught the prisoner , and gave him into custody . —Mr .

Ribton : I claim a reply to . the jury on tho queations put by the Coui-t , a » d I must Bay that the learned chairman has . taken a course whioh could not be pursued in any other court of justice in England , and which no superior judge in any of the courts at Westminster would suffer counsel to pursue . Mr . Witham has gathered the weak points of the case from my speech for the defence , when he re-opens the case ,

      putting such questions as . would tend to strengthen LQG case for the prosecution , but operating most unfairly against the prisoner—a course which , with allrespect to the Court , I beg to say is highly im proper and unjust to the prisoner . A few days since I was myself stopped by Baron Aldergon , at Maidstone , on' the * Home Circuit , for endeavouring- to put a question on croaB-exainination , alter having concluded my oaso .

      conduct of the learned chairman , in having put questions that were likely to prejudice the case against the prisoner after the : case for both prosecution and defence had been closed . —Mr .
