Mr Nakek observed that the question , notwithstanding the ton- in _wlieh it had been treated by Sir . Murphy , was _aitrav ,-and serious one , requiring to be temperately and
truthfully considered ; and approached m an honest spirit , without party _feelings . The motion had been brought forts ard by an " independent member , and the government could not , except upon very substantial grounds , resist an inquiry to ascertain whether the purpose and intent of the _legislature had been fulfilk d , The endowment was a trust to be honestly and effectually exercised for the benefit , not ofthe priesthood , but ofthe Roman _Oatliolic people of Ireland . The principle upon which the college was established was that it was to be not an ecclesiastical hut an educational _institut'on _, and when the representative of a large constituency demanded an inquiry into the n .-mner in whudi monev contributed out ofthe general taxation was applied , tbe house had not only a right to inquire , but if a ea * s was alleged , it wis its duty to inquire iuio the administration of a public trust . There were matters in connexion with lh _£ _sui-j ? ct whicii might he fitly examined into ¦ without nny violation of reli £ _: oas liberty , but which tne _eX'Sting visitatorial powers could not reacU .
Mr . C . Fobtescdk had not been convinced by Mr _Sapier ' _s argument or by the bugbear of ultramontanism . of the _necessify of inquiry . He _protester against the _mouon , which could be j as _^ _ei only by strong _endenco oi i _^ orality or _dislovalty being taug htatMaynooth . Mr II _DnctfMOSD asked mto what it was proposed by Ifr . Spooner to inquire . If not info the doctrines taught atMavnoooth . the " t / 1 _colo _? i « dogmatica could not he subjected " to examination ; the theohgiamoralis might be ; but the inquiry ought then to be restricted " so far as regards 10 _^ _eshtield moved the adjournment of the debate . A discussion of nexrly two boors . _meoeeded , which , though nominally upon the question of adjournment , extended to other outlying topics , and admitted a reciprocation of explanations over courteous between Mr . Reynolds and The O'Gorman Mafccn with reference to an occurrence in a previous debate . The result was that , upon a division , the debate was adjourned until after the orders of the day fixed for that cveninjr .
THE DERBY DAT . Lord _PituEnsrox moved that the house , at its rising , adjourn over the Derby day . lie observed that there were questions upon which the longest explanations failed to convince , and there were others on which the shortest speeches were _sufficient to make the house fully acquainted with their purpose . The motion he wished to make was of this latter _charxcicr . ( "Oh , " and a laugh . ) Is was obvious , from circumstances which it was not hi 3 _intenticn to go into , that they were not likely to have to-morrow , at the morning sitting , a sufficient attendance to cuabie them to get through the public business unless they had a call of ihe house . The alternative , teen , was between moving a call of the house , or that the house , at its rising , adjourn till _Thursday , which he would move . { Hear , hear . ) Mr . S . CkaWOBd was sorry to be under the necessity of opposing the motion . ( " Oh , oh , " and " Divide . ) On a division the motion was carried by 190 against -17 . The sitting wa 3 then suspended , at six o ' clock , till eight . The house resumed at eight o ' clock .
CASE OP MR . MURRAY . Lord D . Stoart gave notice that on Thursday he would put a question to the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs respecting the case of Mr . E . Murray , now under sentence of death in Rome . ( Hear , hear . ) An Hos . Member moved that the house he counted , when only thirty-eight members being present , the _lionse adiourncd till Thursday .

HOUSE OF _COMMC'XS . —On the motion of Mr . _Catibt . it was agreed lhat a _Cc-inmittee should be appointed to inquire into the causes fit accidents as laiiws , with _, the view uf devising somo means to render them less frequ « ut .
After a brief discussion upon the rights of "Welch witnesses to deliver their _evidence in their own _language , the Common Law Procedure Bill _vras read a third time , and with some sine duient passed . Various other bill s were a _dvanced a stage . The Earl of _ltuuimsr presented a _l-etition from members ot the learned professions , orating that they mig ht be Teprc £ i 7 _i ; ed in the Jli-ase ot _Coauncns . _TheEariofDaEcv _, while _ndsiiltttg the _desirableness ef making all _practicable changes in t ' : c direction indicated , pointed out varit > u = obstacles tbat lav in ths way of the working of such a plan as that _prop-jsci _bytheiutitioners .

_SHXTEXCIXG A BRITISH SUBJECT TO DEATH 151 A FOHEtGX POffEtt . lord D . STnABTwi ? t : cdto ask the noble Lord the Under-Secretary for the Colonies a ijuestinn ef which he had given notice , natney _, wheiher the attention of government had been called to the case of 3 Ir . Murry . a gentleman of _English descent , whose ancestors bad served in the British armv , and who himself had held a _commission under the _CrotVH . This _srenlJ _< man after _bein _^ imprisoned for a period of two veavs in Rom ? , had su'ideidj been brought to trial before a secret tribunal , : uid sentenced to death for a political offence . JCow , what he wanted to know was , whether the _government intended to _tak-j stqs to prevent that sentence being put in force ! ( Hear , bear . )
Lord Staslet said it was _q-jite true what the noble lord had _stct _' _-d . Jlr . Murray was a Ihiafh _subj-. ct , and had formerly served ia the army _ofltome-nwlKr the Kcpub . ic . lie exchanged tbat position , _hfewevt r , fur tiie _i-ilici- of head _jolice _silent under the Republic at Ancona , and while he tilled that situation several murders took place of persons who had been favourable to the cause ofthe 1 _' ope . it was ihuaght at die time _th- _ t Mr . Murray had connived at these inurdeis , and he was arrested , but afterwards liberated . At the fall , however , ofthe Hepublic he was again arrested , and remained in prison two years and four months , at the expiration of which time he was _broapfct to trial for the previous offence , and _st-ntenced to death . This came to the _knowledge of Mr . More , the British agent at / _ueona , and he , _together with . Mr . _fresborn , the consul at Kane . : en : home t > the government a _bLt-vy if ilw whole case . _lusb-uvtions'nere immediately _returned to th « m directing them to make an _effort io obtain bis liberation intheertntof their _helieveing that he was iarocent of the crime imputed to him . or , on ths other hind , to plead for a _mitigstioa of ills sentence . The _unfbrsjute re _ttleraan had since been removed frcin Home to Ancona , and _efieits were now heing made to prevent Lis sentence being carried into « fl » _Bt ( Hear )
Lord D . _Stuaut askel if it was true that Mr . Hurray was accused of a political offeice only ? Lord _Stamet said the accusation was tbat Mr . Murray had connived at murder , which was _scmethaig greater than a political offence . ( Hear . ) Mr . Hkie asked if Mr . Murray was tried _bsfura a secret tribunal ! Lord Stasiet said he was tried before a _special tribunal ! 3 Ir . _IlraE wished _t- > know if Mr . Murray remained in gaol so long without any information ci tha a t being sent home until recently ? Lord Staslet said it undoubtedly was so . Lord _D-Stoast gave m ' . _fre that he should call attention to the _snl-ject again to-morrow . ( Hear , hear ) Mr . _AstTEi said that to _morrovr he should ask the coble Lord the Secrttarj for Foreign Affairs whether any actual communication bad taken place between the government and the Governor of Ancona with regard to the case of Mr . Murray . Lord Staslet considered that for the present it would be better to drop the _sul-jeet . Their lordships _adjourned at half-past seven .

peace . MILITIA BILL . The house then went again into Committeeon the Militia
TheCiiAxcKLLOitof the Exchequer announced that the government had not determined to abandon tbe _^ _otu _ciauae , which repealed the authority g iven by the act 42 George III ., to call out and embody the militia in case of rebellion or insurrection . The committee , however , divided , when tho clause was negatived by 151 against 61 . Upon clause 28 , Mr WalpOLE moved an amendment , which made it run to the following effect :-to re-enact the provisions of the 42 _George III ., and of any act amending the same , subject to tho provisions oi this bill , provided that no ballot shall be had save when her Majesty shall order men to be raised by ballot , and the militia to be raised under this bill shall be in substitution for , and not in addition to , the militia directed to he raised by the first recited act . This clause , as amended , was agreed to .
Mr . _Waifole brought up three new clauses , one pre-Ecribin" that the qualifications of officers in the militia may be ' derived from personal as well as from real estate ; an to benroviding that a supplemental corps may be raised bv voluntary _enlistmentiu one county to supply the deficiency in another ; and a third for extending the time of appeal , and increasing the number of places in which notices are to be given . These clauses were agreed to .

On the order for the _socond reading ofthe KEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT BILL ,
Sir 7 f Moleswobth gave an able analysis ofthe scheme presented * in tho bill , which created , he said , not only an _imwrium in _iviperio , but a nest of six litte colonies in one with a variety of distinst codes , tbat would conflict with each other He objected to the erection of the _provmcos into governments—tbey should be municipalities ; and to a nominated Legislature—the nomination principle would , work _wokc in Sew Zealand than in any other colony . He objected , moreover , to the uujust preference given by the bill to tiie claims of the New Zealand Company . His own opinion of wbat , should be tbe form of _"oveniinent for _3 few Zealand _was , tbat it sbould be one colony , with a single Legislature , and municipalities created by that Legislature , with power to elect their own officers and make bylaws . He hoped the house would not pass the bill in its preEentform . A long discussion ensued in which _Messrs . Aderley , SmithGladstoneand other members took part .
, , Secretary Sir Johs Paki . ngton could not agree that we should _no-v adopt tbe same _prirtfiples of colonisation on which our _earlv _Aiucricau colonics were founded . He answered the objections advanced to the bill , and , after same further conversation" the second readiug was agreed to , and the house adjourned at a quarter past one o ' clock .

The news oi the appalling calamity rapidly spread through the neighbourhood , and the scene at ths pit mouth , as the mangled remains of the sufferers weie recognised by their bereaved relative ? , was one of the most heartrending description , ami which language is inadequate to depic . Miseiy and grief were visible in every countenance . A number of colliers from Chorley and the vicinity repaired io the scene of the catastrophe as soon as it was known , and assisted in the recovery oi the bodies .

Pisanks Of A Serpext.—On Saturday Last, ...
_Pisanks of a Serpext . —On Saturday last , towards evening , the travellers journeying to Paris by the train from Havre , were greatly terrified by an extraordinary incident . The trsin carried a collection of wild beasts , which were destined to appear at the Hippodrome , in the representation cf a piece called ihe « Christian Martyr . ' The animals were under the charge of M . Herbert , a friend of Gerard , the lion tamer . The collection was accompanied by a boa constrictor seventeen feet in length , which wa 3 intended as a present to the director of the Hippodrome : This serpent was contaiued in a box _surpsnied _un-Jcr the _vsn which held the beasts . Whether the box was too small or the animal too large may be doubtful , but the serpent was dissatisfied , and , breaking one ofthe sides of its prisonwound its to
, way the top 01 the train , and amused itself by _cassing from ono carriage to another . When it had promenaded in this manner unpe ; ceived for nobody knows how long , it announced " us presence by thrusting its head up c ! o « e to the engine driver . To describe the cry of terror whicii tho poor man sent up would bo impcssible . Tho train was immediately stopped , andM . Hehert , with two African assistants , tood measures for capturing the reptile , which wound useif about the machinery of the locomotive , and was only detached with much _difficulsy and secured in a box stronger than the first . Although the serpent had not visited those in the interior ofthe carriages , the passengers by tbe train were exceedingly nervous , and expressed a strong dislike to accompany tho boa to Paris .

GARDENING CALENDAR KITCHEK GAEDEK . The work in this department-will chiefly consist in riring the various crops the requisite culture to bring them on . Tie hoeing and winning out of unions , carrots , & c , Bheuld be proceeded with in dry weather . Potatoes sbould be well loosened between the rows , and a few days afterwards well earthed up ; not _drawing , however , the earth close up to tho stem . In this neighbourhood _t . ' _te crops above ground were billed down by the frosts ofthe ' 2 nd and 3 rd iust . Sow more dwarf French beaus , or _transplant those advised to be sown for tbe purpose , na in all likelihood those _soun in the open _grouud are hilled . Examine narrowly the state of the _diffsvent crops , and see that nothing has been omitted , and , where failures have _occurred , take immediate steps to make good the deficiencies , in the way most likely to meet the end . As the coil in tbe ridge intended for hand-glass _eucumbc-rs will now be slightly warmed , the plants may be turned out , and a few vegetable marrows , in uddtlion , to conic in early .
_FLOKIMs' FLOWERS . The amateur who is now delighting in the beauty of his tulips , should not forget that even in bis favourite flower there is an onward movement ; ' perfect purity'is now the « _iw qua 11011 , In order to aid in the general improvement let him raise secd . _iiiss ; and in _oviicv to obtain them distinct , pure , and of good form , lit him , now they are in full flower , select the varieties he wishes to seed form , andcioss _. breen accordingly ; many florists are now Utterly repeuting that they saved seed from impure cupped flowers—after years of care nnd anxiety , they now find that the produce is comparatively worthless . Care should be taken that the flowers from which seed is saved are ofthe same class—for instance , it would bo My to cross a bizarre \ _sith a _bvb ' . _cemon or rose , a mongrel would result ; but rose should be crossed with rose , _bizirro with bizarre , and so on . In other floral matters attend to directions lately given , _especially take care that nothing _suffers for want of water .

The roots must be cleaned , the thick ones even sliced , _ai-. d dried slowly at a aentle heat not exceeding 130 deg . Fabr _., and placed afterwards iu well-closed boxes , in a dry place . Bai ks , woods , av . d branches are gathered in Fpriug , and even in autumn from young and hcalthv plants or trees . In spring also , buds and sports are collected . ' Tbey are dried and kept in the same way as the roots .
Herbs and leaves aro gathered when the plant is near flowering , on a fine dry morning . Karcotic plants form therein au exception , most of them being moat pregnant with active principles when m fullfloHcr . Herbs thus collected are generally dried iu the shade of a well-ventilated room - , however , if the season bo wet , we must resort to artificial heat . Flowers arc gathered , whon in full perfection , at noon on a fine dry day , and dried as quick as possible . Some flowers are freed from their calyx ; otheis are gathered together with the tender stem , and are called _summiiates , as absinthum . Fruits are _generallj collected when full ripe ; aomo , f « r instance oranges , when in an unripe state . Some are dried like roots , others used immediately , when fresh , to make extracts , like ifomordica elaternstn , ov _icade into confections . —Aimals of Pharmacy ani Practical Cncmii ' . ry .

Apples tthe last 6 eason was so prolific ) are also well set ; 1848 was the best year f _. ir pears in my remembrance : the Christmas of tbat year I had 2 , 935 in my fruit-house , without any consideration ot the quantities used iu the end of summer and tho autumu ; 1852 promises much better .

Jands , tbe soil worked away from the higher to tiie lower ground , the termination of ths lands beside brooks at the points where occasional floods limited the ajip'ieaticii of the ground to tho growth of corn , are unmictfikeable _eeidtiiees of the plough having for ages been at work there ; and when we riflect upon the care and time which has been spent in working up many of these old lands into their present high-backed forms , and the time spent in ploughing down sides of hills into the deeps so often to be met with , we shall be convince 1 that tiiesc marks of cultivation were not formed by the occasional _breaking-up of wastes for an occasional crop of corn , and then leaving tbe exhausted stubble to again return to grass , as is the practice of _thinly-oeeupied and rudelyfarmed countries at this _dav , hut that these remains owe their
origin to ages ot tillage , couducted with great skill , and , to the uso 0 : plowghs very superior to those we see delineated 011 Saxou coins or drawings . I cannot help taking great interest in tracing these evidences of the former occupation of the land for raising of corn , fur they , like the gigantic Eruidital remains in this country , the ruins of gigantic structures in _Fouth America , the canal net-works in the East , & c , are monuments of past history which , with the lost _eharrctc-rs of the writings of past days , stand up to tell US of a past condition oftlie country and the people , of which we know little , and on which the more wc reflect the more occasion m shall find to confess our very uncertain knowledge of the past . In ray examination of the land ' s surface , I continually find marks of former general cultivation which point to a period in England ' s history , when agriculture was practised with a ( kill that has afterwards _baen lost ; and , as I have been called upon to _jjvt my reasons for dating this to the time of the Romans , 1 will _entfeavouv to do so . Wa know , for a _cai-tainty , that the pastures U which I allude have been in grass from time immemorial , and that our
population and its want of corn become less and less as we go back in English history ; and we find the marks of cultivation belong to a very distant time , for across these pastures maybe still traced the lines of furrows cut asunder by ancient highways , and they are generall y seen extending in directions independent of exijting boundaries . Of all this an instance is to he fouud in Windsor Forest , _.-. nd about the park . There , although tbe land has not required to be landed up , the ancient plough furrows and division may still be traced upon the ground now occupied by gigantic ancient oaks , which arc hollow and in decrepitude , from extreme old age—trees that have occupied centuries to attain maturity and centuries after to reach their present decay . To what page in history are we to look for the cultivation of this land , and a state of civilisation and security that such employment of the soil points to 1 and when can we suppose the wants of man can have called for such general cultivation ! My answer is—to the latter period of the Hommi dominion of Britain , ' when her powerful sway had given ages of internal peace , and had called forth tiie
cultivation of the useful arts and sciences , and of which we have other remains—to those times of luxury and repose which are described as having been fatal to the martial spirit of the Britons , and to have laid the couutry open to barbarous invasions when Roman protection was withdrawn . The open field tillage , the diffused population , the civilisation , the cull for general cultivation , with the security and occupation of the people in tillage , of which wc have sueh indis . putable evidences , could not have existed whilst the country was tho prey of _Piets and Scots , of Danes and Normans , It was not under the ever-shifting government of the Heptarchy , nor after the Norman conquest , when barons found security only in their castles ; but Ifwogoback to _thc-ltoman times , wc alight on a state of _afiiuYs that at once admits of it , and wants that called for it . The occupation of the Ilonrins lasted nearly four centuries , Wc arc _taU t hey at first oppressed the natives by employing them in making roads , drainage , and public works , all of which had reference to the general occupation of the country for cultivation , and it was at the latter p > : riodof their dominion , as » e arc informed by their historians , that they drew large supplies of grain from the island , and of
which we have such strong proof ot then- indiscriminately calling both the Isle of Man f . nd of Anglesea , the granary of the lYes-ern provinces . Here , then , was a condition of the country , employment of the people , and a consumption for its corn , accounting for the general application , of the lwwd to tillage , which certainly cannot be reconciled with the condition , the population , or the wants of the couutry since the Romans leftit , I might considerably extend thi s letter by giving other examples of cultivation found in the woods _, over our commons , and high up tho hills . I might also enlarge Oil the consequence the Romans attached to the possession of the island , the large forces they kept hece , tke evidcucea of uiNilieation and luxury they left behind , which can only be _acciuiitt-d for by supposing their receipts from the island were proportionately impor . taut , and that they were so there can be no doubt . But what could they have drawn from here—but corn ! and corn supplies to them were indeed important . Home , with her four or five millions of inhabitants , and all herprincip d towns , were fed for centuries with foreign corn drawn from her provinces , and among which Briiain we know ranked hiiiU—Hewitt Davis , 3 , Frederick ' s place , Old Jewry , London , May 10 .
The Colliery Expiosion Near Abepvdare Ab...
THE COLLIERY EXPIOSION NEAR ABEPvDARE ABERDARB , 5 Iuy 25 . — ' 1 he investigation into the causes of the deaths of the sisiy-five persons who perished by this catastrophe was resumed this morning by the coroner , Mr , G . Overton , at the Boot and Railway Hotel . There was a large number of mineral surveyors and agents present . The principal features in to-day ' s business was the reading of an elaborate report , prepared by Mr . J . K . Blackwell , who attended specially on the part of the government . In answer to the Coroner , Mr . Blackwell stated , that the cause of the accident waB a discharge of gas from the roof of the _^ seam in the heading . It appeared to him to be a very violent discharge , and occurred in tbe most dangerous part of the pit . It was a possible and probable occurrence in such a seam of coal in a maiden country like this . Tbe scams in this district were very fiery . In his former report he had denounced the use of brattice shafts , but he thought they could not always be uvoided ; but naked lights should never be used .
The inquiry was again adjourned till the nest day , COKCI . USION OF THE IKQVJEST . _AnEnnAUB , May 26—Thc investigation into the cause of tho recent dreadful explosion at tho Middle Duffrvn Pit , by which so many lives were lost , wus concluded ' this clay . Mr . Mackworth , the government inspector , read tm able report , in which he remarked that the loss of 159 lives in the Aberdaro Valley by explosions , all of them arising from the peculiarly dangerous state of the lire damp in the fourfeet seam , and the overlying strata , urgently demanded the entire exclusion of naked lights and the ordinary furnace , and the adoption ef strictly enforced rules and " a larger veniilalion . The coroner having summed up , the jury , after a lengthened deliberation , returned the _following Vctdio . t -.
—" In the case of Thomas Pritciiard we find , a verdict of ' Accidental Death , ' and wo are of opinion that the Middle DulFryn Pitt was at the time in agood state of ventilation for ordinary purposes ; _butthat a fall in No . 2 cross heading to the dip produced a large _discharge of gas that passed along the return-air course to the flue , there United , and caused the explosion which resulted in such a great _sacrifice of human life . We are also of opinion that thero is no neglect or culpability attached to any of the agenls or men in " their employ , notwithstanding we much regret that the recommendation of the jury , and the suggestions of Mr . Blackwell . . in his report on the occasion ofthe last explosion , had not been complied with ; and we earnestly recommend that the proprietor be enjoined to adopt Mr . Iilackwell ' s plan of ventilation , especially in the dumb drift "
. The Coroner a < -ked what verdict would be returned in the case cf Owen Evan ? , and the man who was supposed to have died from injuries occasioned by the fall of the ladder . Tho foreman replied that they had fully considered these cases also , and that Owtii Evans had been suff ' ueated with numerous others by choke-damp , while thev believed the other man to have been _Itiiied by the fall of ' the ladder . The _juiyako _addtd , iu reply to the coroner , that they had no recommendation to mako or opinion to express in regard to the deaths by sufl'jcation .
