IN the Horse of LORDS yesterday, the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY stated that the bishops had abandoned their intention to promote a bill on the subject of ritualism, as there was s probability of a royal commission being issued to inquire into the subject. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE. in consequence' of a statement made by the Earl of Derby that certain depositions relating to the seizure of the Tornado had only reached the Foreign office that morning, postponed the motion he had on the paper on the subject. The Spanish govern ment, he said, had been thoroughly exposed by Lord Stanley, and it was impossible that this coun try could allow its subjects to be treated with snch a disregard of international rights. The Shipping Local Dues Bill passed through committee. * p arttng intelligence. Dn. ruiL 6 par cleat. Du. Ne• d 0..... I Do. Now ,Gt of India. g 6p. et Do. 44 pee mat ; Do. , Gt.

The home adjourned at 20 minutespast 5 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY, MARCH 26. IN the HOUSE of COMMONS the O'Cosos Dow obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the office of county treasurer in Ireland. Mr. EWART obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Public Libraries Acts (Scotland). The Sale of Land by Auction Bill was read a second time, after a statement by Mr. SetwvB that the bill would be materially altered, and "that the discussion was to be taken at a future stage. The adjunied debate on the Representation of the People Bill was resumed by Mr. B. Jou BsroBs, who said they were standing on the edge of a precipice, and the slightest push would send them over ; and this bill, with what would inevitably follow, would give them that push. The principle of numerical representation first crept in in 1832, and had been asserting itself ever since— first diffidently, now arrogantly. It was the prin ciple of democracy, the very principle of evil. In his opinion, the best constituency would be a town constituency with a rural district added. The con sequence of this bill would be that the conserva tives would lose the counties, and the evils of de mocracy would follow. He considered the fran chise secondary to the redistribution of seats, and he suggested that when they got into committee on the bill they should take that which related to the distribution of seats first. If they put that ques tion on a right footing, it would matter little what the franchise was. Sir R. PALMER looked upon the question of the franchise as of more importance than that of the redistribution of seats. As the President of the Poor-law Board stated yesterday, this bill, what ever else it might be, was not a bill for household suffrage. For himself, he was in favour of that suffrage ; and he entertained no apprehension of the consequences of granting such a suffrage. If it were the general opinion of the house that they should not grant this suffrage without safeguards, by all means have those safeguards ; but if they did, let them not introduce new differences and distinctions which would create discontent. But this bill did create new differences, and laid down new principles, and this while they did not interfere with the present franchise. The principle of the bill, it was stated, was the personal payment of the rates, but that was not required at present of the ten pound householder, and if they required it of the new voter they were creating an arbitrary distinction. It was even worse if the new voter were required to pay the difference between thecompound rate and the full rate. At pre sent the ten pounder whose rates were compounded for had only to pay the amount compounded for, so that it was proposed to give an advantage to the richer man. They did, then, fine the compounder for claiming his vote. The President of the Poor-law Board said the voter could recover the amount from the landlord, but the bill contained no such provision. He could only recover from the landlord what was due from him, but that was not due. Passing to the dual vote, the arguments in favour of it were summed up in the phrase of the Solicitor-General—" Half a loaf is better than no bread." In using that phrase the Solicitor- General unwittingly stated the essence of the pro posal, which was give, not a whole vote, but half a vote. 111 the county franchise they followed the same process. The 501. occupier was not required to pay rates at all, but the new voters were. The fancy franchises he re garded as all of them, from beginning to end wrong in principle and untenable in ,prac tice, but he approved of a lodger franchise. If the house thought they could make anything of the bill, he should not object to going into com mittee ; but if the bill passed as it stood, it would neither improve the representation of the people nor settle it. The ArroeNer-GENERAL agreed that the borough franchise was the main principle of the bill. He insisted that the bill'had a principle and fixity in it which had not been found in the bill of 1832. The difficulties urged by Sir R. Palmer would all disappear after the first half-year. He submitted that the bill laid the borough franchise on a sound foundation, and there was none which afforded so sure a prospect of a settlement. Sir F. Caossiax said he had never known a time when there was such a disposition on both sides of the house to settle this question. He preferred the bill of last session, because that bill selected the best portion of the working classes for the fran chise, whereas this left it to persons who wished to be on the register to make their claim and pay the rate. If they agreed to this bill it would require some alterations, and he suggested they should make the Small Tenements Act compulsory, and that all who paid above fit. rent should pay the full rate. The bill gave great advantage to the rich. By the voting papers a rich man might vote for every county in the kingdom. The objection to dual voting applied with tenfold force to the voting papers. The proposed occupation franchise in counties he considered too high. It ought to be at least as low as that proposed by the bill of last year. The redistribution of seats was good as far as it went, but it did not go far enough. Mr. LIDDELL said so far as the borough franchise was concerned the bill undoubtedly took away with the one hand what it gave with the other. The dual voting the country would not stiffer, and it could not pass. Ho was not prepared to vote for household suffrage. He did not think the house was prepared for it, nor did the country wish it. Objection had been made to the bill that it did not enfranchise lodgers, but he doubted whether they should enfranchise lodgers as a class. The lodger, if he were so minded, would get the fran chise under the provisions of the bill. lie ad mitted, however, that the case MU different in London. With regard to the re-distribution of seats, he agreed with others in thinking that the bill did not go far enough, and it left the ine qualities of the borough and county representation untouched. Mr. H. Lewis was weary of this question being bandied about, and was glad to hear the Chancellor of the Exchequer say at the beginning of the ses sion that it ought to be taken out of the domain of party, and it would not be to the credit of the house if they could not settle the question. But there were many defects in the bill. No reform bill could be satisfactory to Londoners that did not give the lodger franchise. He also objected to the dual vote, which he regarded as unconstitutional, and he should strenuously oppose it. The question of compound householders required consideration. He had always voted for liberal measures, but ho would oppose no good measure from whichever aide it came. Let them mutually make great sacrifices, but at all events settle the question. Mr. P. WYNDHAM regretted that the moderate bill of last year was opposed by the conservatives. ,He joined in that opposition. But circumstances were changed now, and there was • general dis satisfaction in the country with the conduct of that house on the question of reform. He should vote for the second reading, and for going into com mittee ; but when they got into committee every vote he should give would be on the merits of the case, and rather to make it a good bill than to support the government. Mr. LAING remarked that there was a general impression that the bill was a bad one, and ought 18_ 80_ i &a 41 I In! id 1 9MA 1 8 dia l clis , 66 55 21 2 i 1 1 die It s P 6 II die H 1071 axinß prior. 1 9das. di di u ; 11 16 a - - Pull 3 poi n a tl 22 15 13 t 1 1:1 ti si U $7 36 37 9 10 I i ij !7 • 7 asl DEBINTITILE "roc's.

The bill, instead of being a liberal-conservative one, was a tory radical one, and if it were persevered with he should at a later stage oppose the motion that the house go into committee on the bill. Mr. POWELL was anxious to know whether the dual vote was dead or alive, and if it were dead, were there any parts of the measure which would be given up. He agreed with those who thought that they could not have a different system applied to different classes of voters. Mr. BRIOHT said the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had been trading for several weeks on this measure, which professed to give a reduction of the borough franchise. The real object of the scheme was to introduce to the vote about as many men as would be admitted by an 8/. suffrage. if this were so, why talk of household franchise 1 But if this were the step they were taking, they were renewing the error of 1832; they were about to renew the exclusion of the working classes from the franchise. If this were the limit of the concession the course they were pursuing was a perilous course ; for as a set-off to this concession the Chan cellor of the Exchequer proposed to give a vote to 200,000 of a higher class. The bill onthe whole he re garded as an unsatisfactory measure. It had marks upon it of being the product not of the friends but of the enemies of reform. It was a bill that, looking to the working classes, was not generous, not statesmanlike, and he believed if the house were to pass it there would be universal dis satisfaction, and that it would aggravate the wound it professed to heal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXeHEQUER denied that he had stated that 723,000 persons would be added to the constituency, but that they would be in a position to claim the suffrage. He complained of the language of Mr. Gladstone in saying that this, that, and the other must be dropped. He was not disposed either to accept conditions from the right I , on. gentleman, or to dictate conditions to him. Ho was told that ho must concede a lodger fran chise. Why he was the father of the lodger franchise. It was inconsistent with a bill that was founded on ratepaying, but that might be overcome. Last year Mr. Gladstone said the lodger franchise was a very insignificant question ' • now it was the great question of the day. The house would deal with it in committee, and no doubt adopt it. Ho pro tested against the assumption that the lower classes to be added by the bill were ready to be bribed, nor would it be possible for candidates to go to the expense of bribing them by paying their rates. He defended the provision requiring a residence of two years, but said it was undesirable to interfere with the conditions attaching to the old franchises, and 'he believed that condition was acceptable to the people. Coming to the tax-paying fran chise' he remarked that it was in Lord Russell's bill of 1832, and again in 1854, and no doubt Lord Russell had the advice of Mr. Gladstone, and he ridiculed the notion that it would lead to the crea tion of faggot votes ; but this also was a question for the committee. Then they were told that re distribution must be enlarged, but when Mr. Glad stonetold them that he was surely bound to give them his own plan, if only to satisfy the country and calm his adherents. Then they were told that the county franchise was to be enlarged. Well they did propose to enlarge it, but that was a matter of secondary im portance. Then as to the voting papers, they would not be given up as far as he was concerned. Referring to the borough franchise he submitted that they proposed to establish it upon a fair prin ciple, and that it was reasonable that the vote should be given only to the ratepayers, and he met the objection that there would be different systems in different parishes, owing to the Small Tene ments Act being in force in some and not in others, by observing that this variety in the suffrage gave them a variety of representation. The bill was not framed with a view to introduce a particular number, but they laid down a principle, and said let that principle work. He did not think that more than 280,000 would be added to the fran chise ; and therefore he should not insist on the maintenance of the dual vote. What en couragement had they received on that side of the house for it 1 On either side not a word had been said in its favour. He could not fight any such difficulties. In conclusion, he said he and his colleagues had but one wish, and that was to settle the question, and they had but one idea concerning it, that it was not their duty to leave their posts till it was settled ; and he ap pealed to the house to act with them cordially, and there would be on the part of the government com plete reciprocity. Pass the bill, and then change the ministry if they liked. The motion was then put and carried, only a solitary "no " being raised, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated he should propose that the house go into committee on the Bth of April. , The house adjourned at ten minutes past one. in GREAT REFORM MEETING AT LEEDS.—WO learn by telegraph that a crowded reform meeting was held in the Victona-hall, Leeds, last night; Mr. Alderman Tatham in the chair. Nearly . 3,000 persons were present, and re.o. Intim, were unanimously passed stating that, whilst holding the principle of manhood suffrage, the meeting ee -1 oepted with great satisfaction the recognition by the pre sent government of household suffrage . as the basis of the franchise in boroughs, but was of opinion that the advan tages of the proposition would be destroyed by the condi tions excluding compound householders, and by the un wise innovation of dual voting. The bill was also con demned in consequence of the absence of a larger frin chise. Resolutions denouncing any proposal to substitute a6l. rating for household suffrage were also agreed to. The meeting was wholly composed of working men.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, March 23, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,458 • the deaths registered, 3,628. The annual rate of mo rtality was 31 per 1,000 p ersons living. In London the births of 1,147 boys and 1,077 girls, in all 2,224 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857-66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,187. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,731. It was the twelfth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for the week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,546. The deaths in the present return exceed the esti mated number by 185. The mortality in the metropolis was greater last week than in any week since that which ended January 26, when 1,880 deaths were recorded; after that date the temperature roes, and the numbers decreased until the minimum (1295) was reached in the week which ended March 2. In the following week, owing to colder weather, the deaths were 1,425, and in the week which ended March 16, 1,572. Forty . deaths from mail box were registered last week, 6 in Kensington, 3in Whitechspel,2 in Stepney, 5 in Poplar, 2 in Bermondsey, 4 in Lambeth, 3 in Greenwich, and 15 in other districts. Typhus was fatal to 49 persons, 4 of whom died in Ken sington, 6 in Pancras, 4 in Clerkenwell, 2 in Shoreditob, 2in Poplar, 2 in Bermondsey, 5 in Lambeth, 3 in Lewis ham, and 21 in other district., Deaths in the Small-pox and London fever hos pitals are referred to the districts from which the patients were brought. Seventy-three children died from whooping-cough, and 24 children and one adult from scarlatina. Eleven deaths occurred from diarrhoea, one from cholera. The deaths from phthisis were 206, from bronchitis 271, and from pneumonia 107.

Although the first reunion on Spoons Downs took plane scow what earlier than usual, and despite that It preceded the North ampton meeting, the opening day was singularly fortunate, as the weather uWmaretit a marked change in the very sick of time. Shire last spnng It is worthy of note the programme has been thoroughly revised, and In lieu of £7OO being given aa added money to the two days, the amount from the funds has been in creased to something like £1,5e0. Not the lease popular feature of the renovation is the substitution of popular names for those of plates and sweepstakes, and a most judicious slteratioe has been effected in the amalgamation of the two railway stakes, the £5O added by the London and Brighton Company having been added to a similar sum given by the South 'Western Com pany, and the race has been appropriately denominated the United Railway :Rakes. Two new races have aloe been eats, hitched and one of them especially, , the "Prince of Wales's Handicap is ere long likely to become exceedingly popular with owners of horses. This liberality is worthy of the management, and cannot fall to obtain the support It deserves. In consequence of en intimation given in the mooting papers that the en/fine drivers and firemen us the Loudon, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had struck work, and actually turned out, on account of their demands not having been acceded to on the part of the directors of the company, but few people went to the London bridge terminus for transit to Epsom. The few that did go were told that no special trains could be run, and Indeed no time could be guaranteed foe the ordinary ones. This state of affairs led to an immense meows upon the resources of the South Western Railway Company. and notwithstand ing the short time allowed to prepare extra carriers the arrangements proved quite adequate to the requirements of the public, and no accidents attended 'mil of the numerous lengthy and heavily-freighted trains which were ran as soon as filled. The; morning opened beautifully fine and springlike, the situ shining out with power and brilliancy towards noon. The Downs were early thronged, and the galloping of the competi tors In the City and Suburban and the race of the morrow wets eagerly scanned. As the day wore on and by the time that the racing commenced there was an immense assemblage, including all the leading patrons of the nations! sport. The Prince et Wales arrived soon after the decision of the first race on the card, and remained till after the City and Suburban had been run, when his royal highness left by ordinary train on the South Western Hallway. Thr card for to-day was a very heavy our, comprising, as it did, no fewer than seven races, including the City and Suburhan Handicap. Sport commenced punctually at half-put one o'clock with toe Trial Stakes, which induced a field of eight to go to the post, and of these Moulsey, on the strength of a recent trial at home, in which the old sou of Teddington was said to have acquitted himself eatistactorely, was made a warm favourite, leaving oft at t to 1.

James Longhurtl. 21, a sullen, stupid looking country lad, was charged with the wilful murder of Jane Sax, by cutting her throat. Serjeant Robinson and Mr. Straight conducted the pro secution ; Hr. Oppenbeim was counsel for the defence. This case stood over from the summer assizes last year, upon an application that was made on behalf of the pri soner for a postponement, in order to afford an oppor tunity to bring forward evidence to show that the prisoner was not in a sound state of mind at the time the offence that was imputed to him was committed. The facts of the case lay in a very narrow compass, and were perfectly conclusive as to the guilt of the prisoner. They may be stated in the words of the deceased in a deposition she made on the morning of her death. "On the same day I was brought to this hospital I met the prisoner in • field that leads from Shore to Comshall. The prisoner was holding open • gate, and as I passed through he laid hold of me, and squeezed me and laid me down in the field and laid a-top of rue a little while. He then picked me up and took me into a wheat field close by, and threw me down, and put his hand up my clothes. I cried out and he tried to choke me. When he was holding open the gate I saw • knife in his band, and whilst I was in the wheat field he cut me with the knife, and I called out to David Edam., and he came. The prisoner is the boy, I an quite sure he is the boy who did it." These were the principal facts given in evidence, and there did not appear to be the least doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner, not only of the specific offence of which he was accused, but that he had previously at tempted to violate the person of the unfortunate child whose life had been sacrificed to his brutality. The jury, after being in deliberation about half an hour, returned into court and found the prisoner Qui/tv. They at the some time recommended him to mercy, on the ground that the act had bees committed without preme ditation. Sentence of death was passed in the usual form. The moment the judgment was given, the prisoner be- came exceedingly violent. He threw hie cap to the floor, and exclaimed, " What am I to be hung for? I have done nothing !" and he attempted to strike and kick the warders who were in the dock. It was with considerable difticulty that he was remowil to the cells below. MA NcEEETICR END LIVERPOOL AORICULTITRAL Rocirri.—The committee appointed to arrange for the centenary meeting of this society held a meeting yester day, at the Mayor's Parlour, Town Hall, Manchester, the Mayor in the chair. The sub-committee appointed to inspect the sites proposed for the Exhibition reported that they had visited three.—The site of the late Art Treasures Exhibition, which was everything that could be desired but for the nature of the soil,which would hardly do in case of wet weather ; Eersal.moor, and Trafford park. The latter they considered best from the nature of the soil and its approaches, if Sir Humphrey de Trafford, who had always beer most liberal to the society, would grant its use on this occasion. A sub-committee was appointed to wait upon Sir Humphrey de Trafford. After some discussion it was agreed to lix the 10th, 11th, and 12th of August for the Centenary Exhibition.

For home trade yarns eaves are generWly quoting the low rates of Friday. and there le not much business at these. It Is thought that the change of lintel will probably enable some of the remels at sea, cotton-laden, to get into Liverpool, and easier prices are expected to result. The unwillingness todo business Is to some extent attributable to this. lu the cloth market we have a most stagnant state of things ever since last Tuesday, and the present renewed lifter. I tainty Ifor It amounts to that) respecting the cotton prospect, hi America, has contributed to general distrust among buyers, aha manifest a general unwillingness to enter Into large tiaras,.

The business to-day has been almost of a retail character, and at pekes which are very unremunerative to manulactiuni and holden of goods There is no actual change in quotation,, though prices are virtually weaker. The opening of the wins trade for country houses has been must unpromising The proepecta of the home trade, with food above the 00110.1) prices, with the Iron trade not very prosperous, and with strike, In the cotton, Ina. coal, and other trades, and &anima Nat cultural labourers and railway emloyes, will probably account to some extent for the spring tra de being less attire than usual, though so doubt to some extent the weather has been the chief illsooursgesseat up to this time.

The inquiries for plain cloths, though not of an extensive Lbs. ratter. have, nevertheless, been tolerably well snaluta red lint lists have not been in large request in the white market, and the transfer of even moderatestted panels has been the sleep/ital, and not the rule. Prices have nut presented any UuUmabk alteration. ILANCFACTURES.—HoPnintsrimm, MIAMI 96.—The sties dance of buyers to-day has again been scanty, but tew of the wholesale homes either in London or the provinces beitig presented.
