Thesiger . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Disraeli concluded with a " severe and pointed criticism upon the course e rbich had been pursued on various public questions by Sir J . Graham . . - Sir G . Gret agreed with Mr . Gladstone , that this measure should he defended upon tlic ground of Imperial policy , and that no attempt should be made to fetter or restrain religions freedom . As an Imperial question , there were two points for consideration ; first , had there been such an aggression upon the sovereignty of the Queen and the independency of the nation as called upon Parliament to interfere ? and aext , was this a measure which Parliament should adopt ? Upon the first point , he realied to the objections of Mr . Palmer , Mr . Her-Leit , and other opponents of the bill , and insisted upon tie fallacy of assimilation * Ke case f the Roman Catholics » - ' ' e - , ¦ u * tw- -- a that of the Wedeyans , --

it in the slightest de » reeinterfured witii the exercise , of their reliaion by the Roman Catholics . ( Cheery ) lareplv to an insinuation that the agitation ' lia ( j been " -it up by clergymen .

( Loud cheers , and criea of " Divide , divide . " )
Mr . V . nowABD , amid loud cries for a division , teasel leave most indignantly to protest against tho impression that the Catholics of England , and of the sister kingdom , claimed by the institution of the hierarchy any temporal authority —( hear , hear)—and still more decidedly did he protest against the expression of the right hon . gentleman , that he was aboat to impose on one-third of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom the brand of illegal conduct . { Crie 3 0 f " Ob ! oh ! " and "Divide , divided ) . . . . . ..
Sir G . Ghet explained that he had not said a word about placing the brand of illegality on ont-Lhird of his fellow-subjects . (•« Hear , " and laughter . ) What he said was that he called upon the House to impose a brand of illegality onthebadgesand emblems of a jurisdiction which was claimed to be exercised by the sole and undivided authority of the Court of Some . { Beer , hear . ) The house then divided , when tho numbers ¦ were—For the second reading ... ... ... ... 433 Against it 95 Majority for the second reading ... —343 The bill was then read a second time . In answer to Mr . Rochs , Lord J . Russell said he should not propose the committee on the bill to be taken on the first day after the Easter Recess ; he would name the day on Mondsiv .
Adjocrsmesi of the House . —Lord J . Russell said , that in consequence of the lateness of the hour to which the house had sat , he would propose that the house at its rising adjourn till Thursday .

The other business was disposed of , and the house adjourned at a quarter past three o ' clock . THURSDAY , March 27 .
IIOUSE OF LORDS . —PouiiCAi . Refugees . — Lord Ltsdhursx called the attention of the house to the reprehensible conduct of certain foreigners who -were at present living in this country under the protection of the Laws , but who took advantage of that protection to make England a focus of revolutionary intrigue against foreign States . The noble lord then proceeded to illustrate the truth of his remarks by the examples of Jill . Mazzini and Ledru llollin / as well as by that of General Klapka , and concluded by stating that he spoke in no
unfriendly spirit to the Government , but solely for the pnrpese of suggesting that something should be done to meet , this great evil . Earl Gret replied that he would communicate with Lord Palwersion on the subject , whose attention he know had already been directed to it . Lord lyndhnrat seemed to hint at a renewal , of the extraordinary measure passed three years ago against foreigners which lapsed last session , but be ( Lord Grey ) thought that nothing but the occurrence of Tery grave circumstances could justify the government in asking the Legislature to renew that
enactment . After some farther discussion , in which the Earl of Aberdeen expressed his surprise that Earl Grey had manifested no disapprobation of the conduct punned by the foreign intriguers , to which Lord Gbet replied that he had not done so because he thought his disapprobation might be taken for granted , the matter dropped . iiouse of commons . —Some preliminary business * ras disposed of , and Lord J . Russell then stated tho government proposition with regard to the Court of Chancery , lie said that he considered it necessary to make a diminution of the duties of the Lord Chancellor , by separating the judicial and legislatorial
functions , as from the accumulation of arrears it was patent to the whole country that the Lord Chancellor could not perform both duties to the advantage Of the State , without totally injuring bia own health . After reviewing the several plans of reform which had beon urged on the government , the noble lord stated that the bill which ho intended proposing , went partly upon the foundation that it was desirable to have more than one judge sitting in the Comt of Chancery ; and , secondly , that it was desirable the Government should have a greater portion of his lime for the consideration of political subjects , than he was now able to
afford . The noble lord proposed to form a Supreme Court of Chancery , to consist of the Lord Chancellor , the Master of the Rolls , and one of the Judges of the courts of common law , to be released from attendance in his own court Any two of these Judges were to be competent to exercise the power now beionging to the Lord Chancellor , who would only exercise it himself as a member of this supreme court . The Lord Chancellor ' s salary to be £ 10 , 000 per annum , with a retiring pension ef £ -5 , 000 . The ecclesiastical patronage now belonging to the Lord Chancellor to be vested in the Crown .
After some discussion , leave was given to bring in the bill . ( Fren our Second Edition of last wcei . J FRIDAY , 3 IAKCH 21 .

Retxolds , in moving that the house should , on rising , adjourn to Monday , referred to the case of Miss talbot , denying that the young lady in question had entered the convent as a postulant , or was detained there as a prisoner . The hon . member went on to com-E lain of the many mistatements which , he said , ad been circulated in . reference to the Roman Catholics , and especially that they kept their oaths and their allegiance at tue disposal of the Pope of Borne .
Lord J . Russell , alluding to the scene of the previous evening , and deprecating all allusions calculated to irritate or insult , claimed for all parties the fullest-right and liberty of discussion . Mr . M . Gibson having appealed to the government on the delay of public business 1 , lord J . Russeix , after an interval devoted to various queries and replies , submitted that he was not responsible for the protracted debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill , and stated that after the second reading of that bill the government would Papal Aggression . —The fifth night ' s debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill wag opened by Mr .

The Great Exhibition . —Meeting of American ExnmiTOBS . —On Wednesday evening a meeting of " American contributors , agents , and others from the United States of America , " was held at the Chapter Coffee-house , Paternoster-row , in pursuance of an advertisement , in which it was stated that they were convened , " on important business connected with the Exhibition ; " Mr . St . John , of New York , in the chair . The meeting proceeded to discuss a series of resolutions which had been prepared at a previous meeting , held at the same place , on Saturday last , the purport of which was , that they strongly opposed the appointment of the Queen to decide on the relative merits of the foreign contributions ; also to the adjudication of the bronze medals as prizes by the Roval
Commissioners , when awards of much greater value had been promised , which they considered notkeeping faith with contributors ; they also objected to the price of admission of three guineas for a season ticket . Strong observations were made in consequence of contributors being at the expense of erecting their own " fittings . " It was stated that English contributors were at the expense ; but in answer , it was observed that the original understanding was , tlat contributors should be at no expense . Another ground of complaint was , in reference to the delay in affording protection to articles which required a " patent ; and upon this subject a resolution was agreed to , that a deputation be appointed to wait on Sir 6 . Grey , intimating to him that until some security be
given to such contributions , no packages should be opened . It was intimated to the reporters present that the meeting was intended to be private , but the question raised by their presence was taken into consideration , and they received notice that they might take notes ef the proceedings , provided these were afterwards subjected to the supervision af the meeting . The press of this country is not accustomed to submit itself to the supervison of any body of men , the proceedings , of which it may be called upon to report ; and it is not from Americans , that such an attempt to shackle its free action could have been expected . Most of the reporters left on receiving tliis intimation , bat one or two remained behind ,
under the impression that there was no objection to the publication of the formal resolutions arrived at . The meeting separated at a late hour . ; Repeal of the Window Tax . —A meeting of metropolitan delegates , for obtaining the total and unconditional repeal of the window tax , was held last Wednesday eYeninir , at the Marylebone Court-house , "to take the most efficient measures in order to secure the above . object .

PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO JAMES MATHER , ESQ . , V On Saturday last a public meeting of the miners of Northumberland and -Durham was held r , the Lecture Room , in Newcastle-on-Tynrj , fortbeDurpose of presenting a testimonial « gwtitudeand esteem to Mr . Mather , of 8 % th Shields , whose zealous and disinterested labours , both as an able and active member of the S ^ uth Shields Committee for the Prevention of Acyfonts in Mines , and individually , have won for Him " golden opinions" op the part of the whole / mining population tbrouifti / wiJ the North of En ^ Vand audthe fr' -B ;< ? t 2 ^? everywhere . Ihemeeting - - , w 5 ? ii *? . ? - 7 and altt ^ B-hthe- - fg * VW '" * i oelodi , hcon v . - ¦ - -r tcnaaaM would doubtless have ! ?• . . -laohinOHs numerous had the time and loc ' a-
! A hfi " . !! infirU conyenioiit , yet there was a consider" mio number present , including representatives from all the loading collieries in the two counties . We aUo observed some of tho principal viewers engaged in the trade , with Captain "Weatherloy , nnd other influential inhabitants of the . town . Mr . Mather was accompanied by Mr . Goldsworth Gurney , the celebrated inventor of the steam jet , and on entering the room was warmly applauded . The testimonial—a splendid silver eup—was placed in front of tho audience . The following was inscribed upon the plate : — " Presented to James Mather , Esq ., of South Shields , by the Coal Miners' Society of Northumberland and Durham , as a token of gratitude for his talented and praiseworthy exertions in promoting measures to diminish the dangers arising from bad ventilation and other causes ^ in tho mines of this kingdom-22 nd March , 1851 . "
On the motion of Mr . Martis Jude , Mr . Hamuosd , a respectable and intelligent coalminer , was called to the chair . After adverting to tho gratifying circumstances of their meeting , which was to render . honour to a gentleman eminently ,, de 3 erving of it , ho said that he sometimes thought of an observation of one of our eminent poets : — . . : " He that is guilty of ingratitude , , lie has no crimes but onfl , " For all his other crimes are virtues when opmpared with this . ( Applause . ) As was well known , the miners were exposed to greater dangers than almost any other body of men . Not only were they liable to imminent . and instantaneous death ,, but they were also in danger of labouring in the midst of destructive gaseB which prey , upon the vitals
cause the lungs to cease their play , , and which bring on premature old age . ( Hear , hear . ) They had long desired that these evils should he removed , but , generally speaking , understanding nothing of a scientific nature , they had not been able themselves to enter into the subject as was required ;' they were , however , the more thankful to those gentlemen who had come forward in order to increase their safety , and to preserve them from a premature grave . He did not like to occupy much of their time , and he would therefore say at once that they were met to present a token of respect andkindhesB to their worthy friend , Mr . Mather , for the exertions which he had been pleased to make on their behalf —( loud applause)—and to evince to him the grttitude which they felt to him for all he had done for them . ( Cheers . ) Small ns the gift was , he might almost say
V It was all their store , More would they give , if they had more . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . Mather did not require any such present from their hands , but they designed it ; as a token of gratitude , and as such that gentleman would receive it . ( Tho Chairman then invited Mr . Mather to accept the gift , sayiug that he hoped their friend would still be actuated by tho humane feelings which had hitherto moved him , and that he and his family would long live to enjoy the gift : ) . Mr . Maiher , who was very warmly received , then came forward , evidently impressed with feelings of grateful emotion , and delivered a lengthened and cable speech , which was repeatedly applauded . Our limited time and space preclude us
from giving more than a mere abridgement . He addressed themeeting as " miners of the North of England , " observing that he understood there were in attendance . bodies of men representing most of the mines in the northern district . Tho token of kindness which they had given him for any efforts which he made , or the earnest disposition which he had shown to eerve one of the most interesting classes in this kingdom , he received with gratitude . ( Applause . ) Thrown among them at a moment of great trial and suffering , when men ' s souls were tried , and when the best developments of our nature displayed themselves , he had then an opportunity of marking as noble virtues as ever adorned humanity—men willing to sacrifioe themselves to
save the lives of others ; men , who were prostrated by the deadly enemy which was found lurKing in every vein of the mine , when restored from a momentary death , evincing as their first feeling a desire to return and expose themselves to danger that they might savo the lives of their fellows . ( " Hear , hear , " and applause . ) At that moment he , for one , determined to make some effort to rescue the miners from the dangers which were perpetually hanging over them , feeling that it was an opprobrium on this enlightened age that men should continuo to be so exposed , without a determined effort being made on their behalf . Living , fortunately , in a district well able to receive and appreciate suoh feelings , he had only to name the
subject for his suggestions to be immediately acted upon , and on the very day of the explosion of St . Hilda ' s colliery , the South Shields Committee on Mines was formed . That committee , as it is now recorded in the mining annals of this country , worked for three long years , devoting themselves sincerely , anxiously , earnestly , and fearlessly to the great duties which they had undertaken . ( Applause . ) It was a matter of pleasure to remember that four or fire of the principal suggestions made by that committee , hare since been carried out by the Government and the Legislature . ( Renewed cheers . ) Premising that his desire was to' make the meeting not merely complimentary , but , if possible , useful and practical , he proceeded
to describe m what respects that committee had been of service to the mining interest , and especially in promoting the health and safety of the miner . Mr . Mather then proceeded to address the meeting at considerable length , and concluded by again tbanking themeeting for the handsome token of their esteem which stood before him . Not only ( he added ) was it intrinsically valuable , but it brought with it something of much greater value , the expression of kind hearts and the knowledge that , in the opinion of those most interested in tho subject , the committee in whose labours he had taken so prominent a piirt , had not misapplied their time or misdirected their energies , but had
been of some service to a numerous and important portion of the community . ( Cheers . ) There were two classes for whom he had an especial regard , fcoth of whom , seeing the diverse operations of Providence in their daily labours , must become reflective and better men ; and to have received from one of these such a compliment as had that day been paid him , was a circumstance which he could never forget throughout all his future existence . Mr . Mather then resumed his seat amidst loud and protracted plaudits , and after several other speakers had addressed the meeting , it separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman . —Newcastle Quardian .

PAPAL AGGRESSIONS IN . ENGLAND . On Monday evening a very important , yet Tery stormy , meeting was held in the hall of the workhouse of the Uolburn Union , iu the Gray ' s Innroad , for the purpose of considering further the subject of Papal aggression and the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill . The meeting represented the united parishes of St . Andrew , Holborn , above the bars , and St . George the Martyr , Middlesex . Mr .

DISTRESSED NEEDLE-WOMEN'S SOCIETY . On Monday a meeting of the supporters , principally ladies , ' of this society , was held at . the Home of Industry , 75 , yewman-strcet , Oiford ^ treet . The chair was taken by J . Xicolay , Esq . At the reqnest of the chairman , a lady proceeded to . read the report which had been prepared for the occasion . From this document it appeared that though tbe endeavours of the committee during the last twelve months had been prosecuted under great difficulties , still they had been crowned with success ^ Upwards of 800 sempstresses had been registered , and the applications from houses of business had been so numerous that it was found necessary to advertise repeatedly for fresh hands . A requisition from the leading
houses in London , bearing 150 signatures had been received , stating the intention of these parties to cooperate with the committee , and assist them in carrying out their designs . The society regretted that the system of becoming security'for the work placed ii the hands of deserving females should have been misconstrued ; the committee made no reduction in the earnings , as the sempstress took home her own work , and made out her own bill , tbe price being regulated , and received the full pay for her labour . The report further stated , that the committee regretted that the want of sufficient means had prevented the fully car-Tying oat of a plan for the paying ' of premiums with orphans whom it might be deemed desirable to teach
needle-working . One gentleman , however , had undertaken to provide instruction for fifty , and a lady for twenty ; and it was hoped that the knowledge of this fact would stimulate others to extend the means of the society . It was gratifying to the committee to state the successful result of a deputation from the sooiety to the government , soliciting the discontinuance of prison labour at unfair prices . The IjTonie Secretary gave immediate orders for the abandonment of such a plan , thereby improving the labour market . —The report having been adopted , it was moved and seconded , that it should be forthwith printed and circulated . —The Chairman ssid , it had been intimated to him that the house in which the meeting was then assembled had been taken by a lady for the
purpose of affording a home and a place of refuge for the deserving destitute belonging to that particular class _ for which the society interested Itself . The lad ; in question had paid the rent of the house for one year , and given further security for it . He thought the least they could do was , to propose a vote of thanks to the lady who had thus charitably stepped forward to assist the distressed . —Carried unanimously . —Mr . Roper , the Secretary , read a financial statement , from which ic appeared , that out of a sum of £ 315 , there remained , after paying all expenses , some of which had been very heavy , a balance in the bankers' bands of £ 29 . —The thanks of the meeting having been -voted to the chairman , for the kind and prompt manner in which he had acted , the meeting separated .

SUNDAY TRADING PREVENTION BILL . ' ' At a public meeting held ou Monday evenins last , March 24 th , at the Literary Institution , Johnstreet , Fitzroy-square , convened to consider the provisions of Mr .. W . "Williams' Bill to suppress Sunday Trading , wherein it is proposed to restrict the sale of Sunday newspapers , and to prohibit entirely the sale of the Unstamped Press on the Sunday . —Thomas Cooper ( author of the Purgatory of Suicides , ) in the chair . Thefollowing resolution , proposed by D . "W . Ruffy , and seconded by Samuel KydJ , was carried unanimously : — " That the Sunday Trading Prevention Bill , now be ore a committee of the Douse , of Commons , " is both uncalled for and unjust ; uncalled for , because it is a . vain attempt to coerce the people into piety by act of parliament ; unjust , because it abridges the liberty
of the working man m providing for his own and his family ' s wants , whilst the well-to-do are practically exempt from its provisions ; ( thus it makes it sinful for a poor mian to buy a slice of bacon on Sunday , whilst a bishop may on that day have meat , game , and poultry , delivered at bis apostolic abode ;) therefore this meeting expresses its reprobation of any restrictive Sabbath legislation , and views the present attempt as additional evidence of the evil eifects of class legislation . "—A petition to the Iiouse of Commons praying for tie rejection of the bill , and for the opening of the British Museum , the National Gallery , and other public national exhibitions , on the Sundays and holidays during the year was then adopted . The meeting then separated , after paying the usual compliment to the Chairman .
