BALHAM CHURCM.RATIL The district church of St. Mary, Balham, has this week been the scene of • strong contest on the ques tion of church rates. St. Mary's was formerly a proprietary chapel, managed by a body of directors ; and at one time, it is believed, paid a dividend of eight per cent. It was con secrated in 1856, and in 1959 a district was attached to it, taken entirely out of the original parish of Streatham, and making the fourth new district church in Streatham. For some five or six years after consecration everything went ion quietly ; the local charities were well sup petted ; the pew-holders paid their own expenses of public worship, and the old directors managed the new parish much is the same war as before it was consecrated. In an evil hour a different spirit seems to have taken possession of the authorities, prompting them to make and enforce church rates, a practice dented by none of the other churches in the original parish. Opposition to this first showed iteelf last year, when seven or eight gentlemen were summoned to the police court ; after consideration they de cided to pay that you, and to watch for the futute. The conduct of the authorities has produced its natural result. No rate bad bees made this year, nor churchwardens' as • passed at Easter, the usual time for settling suck matters in other parishes, and it was hoped that the same influence which formerly governed the * again in the eacendant. It wu not so, however. parish es The vestry meeting in June to pass these:meta was fixed at so kite a date, that in the event of a poll there was barely time to canvass the district. The supporters of the old directors only were invited by officially signed circulars, and on the morning of the vestry meeting (the 19th inst.), the churchwardens found themselves in the majority of sixteen to seven at the vestry-room. A church rate, including animal items that should sot Is-there, was proposed for 4d. in the pound ; before this was put an amendment for one penny in the pound was proposed, including all such items for the fabric of the budding as were at all necessary. On the show of hands being taken it was of course against the amendment, on which a pull was demanded and ob tained. The poll opened on Monday morning last, and in the first hurry of voting several votes were tithes wrongly the total number of votes so taken was twenty-three, and were each individually objected to. On Tuesday evening, when the poll closed, the numbers wilf• 104 to 127, the majority being the exact number of wrongly taken votes. Protests against the state of the poll and against other items in the rate which were incorrect were duly put in and taken. The district is thus in the singular position that the original romantics is not carried, not having been put to the meet ing, and the amendment is not carried, the valid votes being equal; so that after all no rate wu made. What the nut step will be it is difficult to nay, but it is to be hoped that the authorities will see that it is not possible to control a parish of independent ratepayers as they would a body of shareholders, and that it will be to the interest sad comfort of all concerned to ratans to the more peaceful mansgement of the first veers of the parish CAPTAIN BPHIL' AND THE DIZOOVIZTOF THE NUJ. —Writing to the Timm Captain Spoke aye, "Not wink les to enter into say newspaper controversy with regard to my recent explorations inAfrica, may 1 beg you, through the medium of your . to at men set at rest those con tinued objections what my having disoovered ' the MOM of the Nile.'

The notes of the three powers on the Polish question arrived here on the 23rd inst. It is believed that they will be remitted to Prince Gortehakoff to-day. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Joys 25. In to-day's sitting of the Council of the Empire it was resolved that there waa no reason for the absence of the Czech members from the sittings of that body, and that they were to be summoned to make their appearance on pain of having their title to sit as members cancelled. The discussion on the address to the Emperor was then continued. All the members who spoke on the subject expressed great sympathy for Poland, and were enthusiasti cally cheered. M. Grocholski advocated the com plete independence of Poland. TURIN, Jolly N. King Ferdinand of Portugal has arrived here. The Marquis) Pepoli loaves this evening for St. Petersburg, to resume his diplomatic functions as Italian ambassador at the Russian court. The Turin evening papers assert that France 11&8 made fresh reinonstrancee at Rome, to obtain the withdrawal of Francis 11. from that city. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. CPSOX OM OWN 001 PARL% THURSDAY EVINING. That epicene institution, the minister without portfolio, is implicitly abolished by the decrees of yesterday. Ministerial responsibility is not yet formally revived ; but M. Billimit, in his new capa city as Minister of State, will be substantially a responsible adviser of the crown, and will appear before the new legislature in that character. The Emperor plainly anticipates the time when a new plebiscite, without which his constant respect for the glorious constitution of 1862 will not allow him to abandon any of the fundamental crotchets then invented by himself, may declare the principle of ministerial responsibility without circumlocution. The remarks of the French journals on the mi nisterial changes are singularly destitute of inte rest. The Side says very truly that the public dose not know why such extensive modifications have been made. It may conjecture that M. de Persigny has been made a just sacrifice to the electors of Paris and other large towns, whose ten dencies he so indiscreetly misjudged and vainly attempted to thwart But why MM. Waleweki, Delaugle, and Rouland should have been dis miased, and why the new men, MM. Boudet, Duruy, and Behic, should have been made minis ters, are questions involved in a considerable degree of mystery. . . . . The opinion seems to be very prevalent that in MM. Walewaki and Persigoy the Poles lose their most ardent friends ; and that their retirement greatly diminishes the probability of war with Russia. Nevertheless the Bourse, which, as I men tioned yesterday, had adopted this opinion, seems to have less confideooe in it to-day. There has been a serious fall, Rents declining 25c. for account, and Mobilier 32fr. 50c. The Southern Railway, in which the MM. Pereire are largely interested, fell 181 r. 75c. There are rumours of differences [between those great capitalists and the government Iwhich excite uneasiness. M. Billanit is at Fontainebleau, and will stay several days with the Emperor. M. Bariabe is to be wade a senator. The Nation, a new journal, founded some months since by M. Grainer de Cassagnac, as an organ of violent reactionary principles both in church and state, has changed hands, and comes out this evening with a heading in new type and a new set of doctrines. The new editor agrees with the Preen, Debate, Temps, and Opinion Nationale, that the elections of May, 1883, were a manifestation in favour of liberty, which it would be " dangerous to resist." The new-born zeal of the writer, a M. liSonce Dupont, who was and professes still to be au ardent imperialist, hurries him on to say that although the changes announced in yesterday's Moniteur are a step in advance, at which he rejoices, ihe hopes to see much further progress in the same Idirection. RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.—The Hew York Herald says :—" Since July, 1862, 57 steamers and 91 sailing , vessels left Neiman for the rebel port. 51 of the former and 45 of the latter landed their cargoes, affording im mense aid to the rebels, and realising vast sums for the speculators. 44 steamers and 45 sailing vessels reached Nassau from the Confederacy during the Name period." Lenin FOR EGYPT SENT VIA MARSEILLE& —On the Ist July next, and thenceforward, the combined British and French postage (provided such postage be paid in ad vance) upon all letters addressed to Egypt, forwarded vii Martreillea, whether conveyed between that port and Alex andria by British or by French packet, will be sixpence for a letter not exceeding a quarter of an ounce in weight, MO shilling for a letter above a quarter and under batten. ounce, and so on ; sixpence being added for each additional quarter of an ounce. Letters for Alexandria, Cairo, or Suez, posted unpaid will be chargeable at the rate of ninepence per quarter of en ounce, but no unpaid letters can be forwarded to any other place in Egypt. DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY BY DROWNING.—A melancholy occurrence took place at Falmouth on Wednes day, which resulted in the death of Miss Ellen Mitchell, an amiable and accomplished young lady, the daughter of the late Mr. John Austin Mitchell, chemist, of Falmouth. About eight o'clock io the morning, Miss Mitchell left her house in company with her sister—a child of not more than 12 years of age—for the purpose of bathing at Gyllyngvue beach, it being the first time she had done so this season. It was a very fine morning, with scarcely . a ripple on the water. After walling some little time OD the beach for a tent to be erected, the two sisters proceeded into the tide. Miss Ellen Mitchell, when she bad got to about two-thirds of her depth, commenced floating on her back with her head seaward. She continued doing so for • few minutes, during which time she unfortunately drifted ont of her depth. When she found that she could not obtain her footing she appears to have lint all presence of mind, and raising up her arms sunk below the surface. She never screamed, but rose several times, and again disappeared. The violent screams of her younger sister, however, as well as of the booth attendant, attracted the notice of Mr. Sharp's coachman, who was on the beach at the time. Divesting himself of some of his clothes he rushed into the water, but unfortunately he could not swim, and although he went as far as he could possibly venture with any degree of safety, he could not proceed far enough to render any assistance. Shortly afterwards another man, called Pascoe, and some men who had been working in tho locality, rushed to the beach, swam out, and brought Miss Mitchell on shore. She was not at the time six feet beyond shallow 1 water ; she had, however, been submerged about fifteen minutes, and wee quite dead. Dr. Tyler, Dr. Guppy, and Captain Pertersis, R.N. arrived on the beach woo after she was brought in, and u sed every means to restore life, bat I without avail.— Western Horning News. Da.

The contest between Cambridge and Kingston was Atli admirable. Cambridge had made some fine bursts to get away from their adversaries ; but they were not to be shaken off, and the gallant effort of the one crew was met by a no lees gallant effort on the part of the other.

The nave of the international Exhibition Building was occupied yesterday with thirty or room stalls laden with cushions, dolls, invoking eaps, babies crying and silent, and the thomand d cetera. which go to make up a bazaar destined for prompt sale to the earliest bidder, for the special benefit of the Royal Hospital for In curables at Putasy. The bazaar, which is to extend over to-day and to-morrow, is held under the most distinguished patronage, and attracted • much larger number of visitors to the old building than mold have been anticipated by the promoters. From nearly the hoar of opening to the close the company was large enough not only to furnish employ ment for the dexterity of the ladies who had volun teered the management of the data, but to engage their whole attention in the business of selling. The ladies keeping stalls were : The Marchioness of Ailesbum. the Countesses of Westmoreland, Shaft's- Jam, and Antrim, Viscountess Forbes, Lady Nor m" the Ladies Feilding, ,Lady Charlotte Schreiber, lady LouiaaMoucrieff, Lady Emily Eingstide, Lady Etaroe, lady Robert Cecil, Lady Egerton of Tadao, Hon.

Yesterday afternoon a deputation waited on Earl , Russell at the Foreign-office, Whitehall-gardens, far the purpose of urging upon his lordship the propriety of rant mg the sanction of the British government to the car et:ruction of • line of railway through Egypt to Rom Besse, • port on the Red Sea. The deputation consisted of Sir Herbert Maddock, Sir R. Chita', Bart., M.P., Admiral Sir Edward Belcher, Mr. Oliveira, Mr. F. Ayrtoo. of Cairo, Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Staunton, Kr. Efeneags,Mr. James Ash bury, lir. S. Isaacs, Mr. Maher, Mr Joseph Cabin, C.E, Mr. J. Wright, C.E., Mr. Latimer Clark, C.E., Mr. Hayes, Mr. Harder, Mr. James Arland, and Mr. Manby. Mr. Ouvarita, who introduced the deputation, stated that when in Egypt some months ago be had waited on the Prime Minister of the Viceroy respecting the proposed scheme, but he seemed averse to taking it op, on the ground that the British government took no interest in it. On his return to England he bad communicatee. this to its pro moters, and the result had been the present depu tation, who had come to his lordship in order to ascertain the views of the British govern ment respecting it. There could be no question that the scheme if carried out 'would be of the greatest advantage to this country, for the proposed line of railway would shorten the overland rout* to India by two days, while it would lead to a large production of the finest cotton in the valley of the Nile, and would otherwise be the means of creating en influence favourable to English policy and enterprise in Egypt. He had no hesitation is saying that the latter was au object much to be desired, for at present the French influence and Freoch policy were very much in the ascendant there. Sir HERBERT MADDOCK also supported the scheme, and pointed out the great advantage it would confer on this country in improving the means of their communication with India, which were at the present time in that pert of the world most imperfect and inconvenient. Earl Roseau. at once admitted that to be the aim. He also had no doubt that the scheme, if carried out, would improve the communication with In dia ; but the question was how were they to carry it oot,and what expectations had they of assistance from the Viceroy. It was necessary to know that, because the last communication they had from the British consul at Alexandria was to the effect that the Viceroy would have nothing to do with it, and that he com plained of the expense entailed upon him by the Suez line. Sir HERBERT MADDOCK said they did not ask the Viceroy for his money, nor even for his guarantee, though of course they would have to get the laud from him ; but it was con sidered that a favourable expression of opinion by the Bri tish government as to the propriety of the line might have a good effect in hastening on its accomplishment. Mr. F. Arms bore his testimony to the effect which the railway system, so far as it had progressed, had pro duced in enhancing the value of property, as he knew of land which previously could not have told for li. per acre now selling for 201. and 7.31. per acre. Mr. LATIMER CLARK stated that he bad surveyed the whole of the line, and he never saw one which would be easier of construction. Along the valley of the Nile the ground was of course les el, but through the desert the wind had blown the gravel and sand into the valleys among the hills, which had nearly raised them to • level, so that along the whole line there would not be an embankment required above four or five feet high. Earl Bustin'. said he could only say to the deputation that the government thought well of the proposal, but that they did not at present see how the hoe was to be constructed. The deputation, after thanking his lordship for his cour tesy in seeing them, then withdrew. LISBURN ELM:MON.—LISBURN, 'I'HUEVIDST.— (By telegraph.)—Mr. Barbour has retired. Mr. T. T.

The report of the select committee of the Hones of Commons on private bill legislation was issued from the parliamentary paper-office this morn. Mg. Among the resolutions speed to by the com. mittee were the following :—" That a bill or bills founded on the principle of the Clauses Candi. dation Acta should be prepared, and if pontible planed this session, for the farther consolidation of the clauses usually 000tained in railway acts sad other classes of private seta. That a bill be prepared and brought in for enabling new and existing railway companies, on compliance with conditions to be contabsed therein, such compliance to be certified by a department, to make new lime of railway sod new railway works, when all parties are consenting, and also for accomplishing the following objects :—L Giving power to two or more compinies to enter into mutual arrangements for the working or use of their respective lines for limited periods. 2. Giving extension of time for the sale of superfluous lands by railway companies. 3. Power for mixing farther capital, with preferential dividends or otherwise, forZitirei off existing lines. or for additional work', the ' of the rightsof existing preference shareholders • secured. That, considering the large discretion which must astiessa. illy bevelled in any tribunal, however constituted, to which may be entrusted the duty of reporting to the honed on =stsprie bills, and the Anew d fined rake for the el such trilismal, it is not expedited that this duty should he performed otherwise than by eoumeittese ef the house. That with a view desiring tbe expenseand lonise time now occasioned by the double hearing of contested eases 13y committees of each house of parliament, an asset ought to be come to by the two booms by whisk single hearing might Ise made to serve the purpose of the pretest doubts memny. That opposed bills having pared through a committee of the House of Commons should be dealt with ea unopposed bills in the House of Lords, and vice vevsd, but that each house should, nevertheless, Mein the power of referring any bill to a committee, if, from special circumstances, that course should appear desirable. That it is expedient that the number of members sondes on private bill committees be reduced from five to three. That, independently of the fees marked on the briefs when delivered to the counsel, no further or other fees shall be allowed on taxation than five guineas day as • refresher for attendance, and two guineas a day for consultation. That the payment of solicitors by means of fees on copies of minutes of evidence and other documents, which entail no labour upon them, is improper, and ought to be abolished. That the scale of fees payable upon proceedings connected with private legislation ought to be revised, sons to meet, but not exceed, the expenses thrown upon the house by the private business. That the system of charging ad valorem fees on a male proportionate to the capftal proposed to be raised by any private bill ought to be disc?). tinned, and that there should be charged a uniform fee on all private bills in their several Magee through the home. That, with a view of deciding questions arising in privet* bills by a more speedy and less expensive process than an inquiry by • committee on opposed bills, it is expedient to empower the Committee of Selection, sad the General Committee of Railway and Canal Bills, with the consentof all ;parties promoting and opposing, to refer the some wholly, or with reference to particular clauses, to the Chairman of she Committee of Ways sad Means, and that such chairman, together with members to be appointed in like manner as members of the Committee of Unopposed Bills, should be empowered to beer the parties promoting and opposing such bills, or their agents, and to report upon the same to the home.
