gentleman made a great impression by describing the situation in which his courage has placed him . He had foreseen the result , and had all along acted with the view of bringing the question before the courts . Now , he had voted three times ; and two notices of action had been served on him ;— - "For that imprudence I am liable to ah action at law , and should a verdict be recorded against me , I shall be in this position—I shall forfeit the sum ot £ 500 , either in the aggregate , or for each vote , and I care very little which . ( . Loud cheers . ) But that is not the whole of the
penalty . If I am found guilty , I become a * Popish recusant convict . ' ( Laughter . ) Now , just hear what the law of the country is , as laid down by some lawyers in the House of Commons . If I become a ' Popish recusant convict , ' I cannot take a legacy , I cannot sue , I cannot be the . guardian of any child , I dare not vote at any election for a member of Parliament , every office I hold I shall be stripped of , I must lay down my aldermanic gown , be struck out of the commission of the peace , and become a sort of political Cain wandering throughout the land , a vagabond and fugitive . ( Loud laughter . )"
The main resolution and the petition call upon Lord John Russell to make the abolition of the Abjuration Oath a Cabinet question , and to do it forthwith ; -also to pass a resolution in the House which will entitle Baron Rothschild , and of course Alderman Salomons , to take their seats . Mr . Alderman Salomons met the electors of Greenwich , who received him with enthusiasm , on Thursday . He told them that he had already been served with " two notices of actions for having voted . " The petition which Sir Benjamin Hall will present on Monday was adopted at this meeting .

bir George Grey has called upon the Liverpool magistrates to show why the late riot was not prohibited ; why , when the peace was broken no measures were taken to restore order ; and why the police information was not more accurate .

In the South Hooe Lead and Silver mine , near Devonport , there is a steam-engine working underground , apparently without adequate provision being made for the escape of the smoke . Some of the miners were lately workinsr a portion of the mine at the 95-fathom level which was considered dangerous in consequence of the smoke passing into it ; but the miners persisted in working th « ere ; and the result was , that four were suffocated by the smoke , and one so much affected that life seemed extinct . A young gentleman , named Fazackerley , and a friend , named Green , who was paying him a visit at his
countryhouse , near Chorley , went down into a pit which it is said was known to be full of fire-damp by the underlooker , who , nevertheless , accompanied them , together with a sinker . They had not been down long when a rush of sulphureous gas up the shaft showed that an explosion had taken place . A crowd collected , amongst the rest young Billinge , the underlooker ' s son , who bravely ventured down with another man to search for his father . They returned much exhausted , satisfied that old Billinge was lying dead below . After great exertions in pumping out the water and getting fresh air into the pit the bodies were recovered .

The gallant little opposition in the House of Lords to the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill last night made a vigorous but unsuccessful stand upon the question of including Ireland in the bill . An attempt was made to cut short the debate ; and we have the unusual spectacle of their lordships being accused of «• clamour and impatience . " Before the House went into Committee , Lord Monteagle moved , That it be an instruction to the Committee to insert a clause exempting Ireland from the bill . A discussion of course lollowed upon the interminable question as to how the bill would affect the functions of the
bishops ; Lord Camoys , Lord Monteagle , Viscount Canning , and the Earl of St .-German ' s contending that it would render illegal and void all their spiritual acts , that it would prevent even consecration , and introduce intolerable social evils ; and the Lord Chancelxob , Lord Chan worth , -and the Duke of Atgyll asserting directly the converse . The Earl of St . German s , and even Lord Clanricarde , who supported the bill , were met by shouts of " Question ;" and Lord Lansdowne , who rose to speak , was obliged to sit down on account of the clamorous shouts of " Divide , so impatient of opposition and even discussion were the tolerating majority . Lord Monteagle ' s motion was lost by 82 to 17 .
After a short discussion upon the effect of the words " or otherwise" in the preamble upon the Scotch bishops , who would probably come under the operation of the act , were they not specially exempted by the third clause , the House went into committe . The first clause was vigorously contested , and the dissentients divided the committee , but the clause was carried by 77 to 26 . On the second clause beingput the Duke of Aboyll proposed to leave out tho words which gave power to a common informer to suo for the penalties . 13 ut there was an evident objection on the part of Ministers to send the bill again to the Commons , especially upon that ticklish point . The committee divided , however , and there
were—For the amendment , 20 ; against it , Gl . Majority , ' 35 . The whole of the clauses being agreed to the House resumed . The House of Commons had a morning sitting yesterday . In the evening Sir Benjamin Hall pre sented a petition from the Borough of Gree wih praying to be heard at the bar by counsel in bZ t 1 o ^ e " ' if , r ^ UOnS tO ^ « - " " llouse Mr .

Lord Shaftesbury has just laid on the table of the House of Lords , a bill for the further regulation of chimneysweepers . It is proposed that no person under the age of 21 shall use the trade of a chimneysweeper , unless duly apprenticed . Persons under 16 years are similarly prohibited , except to carry the apparatus . Penalties are to be imposed for disobeying the new regulations . A Judge of Probate in Minnesota Territory , to whom a United States soldier at Fort Snelling recently made application for a discharge , on the ground that he could not find suitable quarters at the Port for his wife , granted the discharge , and held that if the Government enlists a husband it must provide suitable accommodations for the wife ; also , that every enlisted soldier may have a wife provided for .
