Mb . Washington WrtKs . —This gentleman , the editor and proprietor of the Carlisle Examiner , was on Friday -week ordered into the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms , for a libel on a member of the House of Commons . The Times , in giving an account of the / affair , says : — - * Mr . Clive , the member for Hereford , is chairman of a select committee on a group of railway bills . - To this committee , in the present session , two rival railway schemes for connecting the city of Carlisle with the town of Haivick were referred—¦ one of wh ich was pro--moted by the Caledonian Railway Company , the other by the North British ; and after an investigation which lasted some three weeks , the committee decided in favour of the Caledonian project . Espousing the beaten , caase , Mr . Wilks inserted in his paper , which lias not been long in existence , an article imputing to Mr . Clive , in
language somewhat strong and occasionally insolent , a manifest feeling of partisanship , arising , as was alleged , from interested motives in favour , of the Caledonian project , throughout the whole of the investigation , and attributing to this circumstance the loss of the competing scheme . For this he has been called to the bar of the House , and , refusing to withdraw the imputations on Mr . Clive , and not expressing his readiness to > substantiate them , has been adjudged to have committed a breach of privilege , which he is now expiating in a snug little suite of apartments in the Palace at Westminster . He has regularly supplied him from the cuisine of the House everything in the way of refreshment which ho may order in reason , spirits exceptetl . His quarters consist of a sitting-room and bedroom , comfortably furnished , and , unlike the limbo in which , similar misdemeanants
were accustomed in days not far remote to purge themselves of kindred offences , his is situate in an elevated and airy part of the Palace , commanding an extensive view of the spacious quadrangle 3 below and all the surrounding architecture . Mr . Wilks is permitted to take daily exercise in the open air—of course in the company of an officer of the House—on the fine terrace overlooking the Thames . On Saturday , he enjoyed this privilege for upwards of an hour . Ho is attended night and day by a messenger of the House , who occupies an . adjacent apartment . He is allowed the use of books , newspapers , and writing materials , may smoke a cigar whenever he likes if ho be so disposed , and receive visits from his friends , if not invite them to dinner . " Mr . Wttks ia now liberated .

Several of the adjacent houses wore a good doal scorched and injured . Trb Church op Scotland ok thk India Question . —The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has been engaged in hearing the report of the India Mission scheme I
, the operation of which had been somewhat disturbed by recent events , and by the consideration of overtures on tho questions of education and evangelisation of India .

Leader Office , Saturday , June 5 th . LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT . HOUSE OF LORDS . The Sale of Poisons Bill was read a second time . lOKD CANNING AND SIB COLIN CAMPBEI / L . A discussion was originated by the Marquis of Bbeadaxbane on the subject of the relations between the Governor-General of India and the Commander-in-Chief , in which the Earl of Derby repudiated the reports of differences existing between Lord Canning and Sir Colin Campbell , but said it was quite possible that purely military operations might be made to yield to political considerations . Such a case would be the result of confidential agreement between the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief . The House adjourned at six o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . RAILWAY LEGISLATION . Colonel "Wilson Patten begged to ask the President of the Board of Trade , whether her Majesty ' s Government have taken into their consideration the present system of Railway legislation ; and -whether tbey are prepated to recommend to Parliament any alteration in that system . —Mr . Henley said that the Government were not prepared , in the present state of information , to legislate ; butthe subject required looking into . He would agree to a Committee on the subject . —Colonel Patten gave notice that on Monday he should move for a Committee . WINDINO-UP ACTS . Mr . Bright begged toask whether it is the intention of the Government , without delay , to introduce a bill to remedy the defects of the Winding-up Acts , or , on behalf both of shareholdei s and creditors , to prevent the funds of dissolved companies being wasted in unnecessary litigation . —Mr . Henley said a bill to remedy the defects in the Winding-up Acts was ready , and would soon be introduced . THE BRITISH BANK . Mr . Brady begged to ask the Secretary of State if the scale of remuneration for the payment of the witnesses summoned on behalf of the Crown at the trial of the Boyal British Bank directors has been arranged ; if so , when the witnesses may expect payment .- —Mr . Hardy said the scale being the same as usual , the time of payment ' depended on the solicitor . COPYHOLD ACTS . Mr . Hankey be gged to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department , -whether it is his intention to bring in a bill this session for the amendment of the copyhold acts ; and , if so , when he proposes to ask leave to introduce the bill . —Mr . Habdy said a bill was in preparation . . " . THE DEANERY OFVOHK ... Mr . William Ewart begged to inquire of the Chancellor of the Exchquer for what special reasons the recent appointment has been made to the Deanery of York . —Lord Hotham defended the appointment , and objected to the Government being called on to state the special grounds on which it was made . —Mr . Disraeli , answering the above questions , said that he was not prepared to state the special grounds of the appointment to the Deanery of York , but he could state that it was made solely on public grounds . It was not a rich preferment , and there wero not many candidates who could have adequately and appropriately filled it . He read a letter from the Archbishop of York to Lord Derby , urging the appointment . Referring to a question by Lord John Russell with respect to China , he said it was out of his power to give any fresh information to tho House . The present Government had given to Lord Elgin the same wide discretion that had been extended to him by the late Ministry . —Mr . Bright said that there is one point which the House ought to consider— -namely , the complication in which this country was plunged by theFrcnchGovernment being allowed to take part in a matter which , if it was a just quarrel at all , was one solely English , and which tho power of England was sufficient to deal with . This produced two unfortunate results—firstly , tho conduct of negotiations was taken out of the hands of England ; and secondly , the House was deprived of any information in consequence of tho peculiar position of the allies . Tni 5 ARRBST OP CAPTAIN JUDKINS . 1 Mr . Horsfall begged to ask tho Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty ' s Governmont has received any intelligence from Now York of tho arrest of Captain Judkins of tho ltoyal Mail steamer Poraia ; and , if so , whether the circumstances of tho case warranted auch a procedure on the part of the American authorities .

Wiij 3 on begged to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is any objection to lay upon tho table copies of correspondence between tho British Governmont and that of the United States upon tho measures taken for tho suppression of tho slave trade ; and if not , when such papers could bo produced .
i COMMISSIONER YEH . Mr . XAURiB asked how Commissioner Yeh was to he disposed of—whether he -was to be brought to Eng land or not . Mr . Seymouh Fitzgerjvld , replying to these que « tions , said that no official statement of the arrest of Captain Judkins had been received , and with regard to the ^ el ave trade question , the correspondence would be produced . Orders had been sent to > inquire into the stopping of American vessels on the coast of Cuba . There was no intention of removing Yeh from Calcutta .
THE BELFAST BIOTS . Mr . John Fitzgerald begged to call the attention of the House to the recent riots at Belfast , and to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is the intention of Government to propose any measure for th « tetter preservation of the peace and protection of property in that borough . —Lord Naas stated that prompt measures had been taken to put an end to the riots , and said he was about to bring in a bill to improve the police force of Dublin and other towns in Ireland .
