Mr. HUNT could not admit that the bill ought to be L accepted if it had the approval of dissenters. He would be sorry to see a broad line of demarcation drawn between churchmen and dissenters by means of ticketing. The real question was whether there was to be a legel provision for she maintenance of the fabric ; and be could not under stand how the connection between church and state was to be maintained without that.

The growing interest felt in the progress of the association may be seen from the fact that there are 7; detachments present from Aberdeen, the Cinque Ports, at, Durham, Essex, Manta, Kent, Kincardineshire, Lancashire, Lincoln,Middlesex, Northumberland, Sheffield, Shropshire, Surrey, Sussex, and the Tower Hamlets. The detach ments generally consist of ten men each, but several counties have increased that number. The Cinque Ports send eleven deteclunents, Sheffield three, and many others 1 1- a similar number. The bell tents are ranged in long lines 2 ° according to military regulations, with five non-commis- lo stoned officers and gunners to each tent. In the case of 100 officers a tent is occupied by two pawns only. The camp is under the command of Colonel Fisher, 8.A., di- Si. reedy a ppointed by the War-office, and the council have et appointed Lieutenant Colwell, of the Cinque Ports Artil lery, to be brigade-major; Captain }Mown, camp &din- et taut; Dr. A. B. De Lisle Allen, lit Middlesex Artillery, l i t surgeon ; the Rev. Dr. Cram, chaplain ; and Captain toe Beveridge, 12th Kent Artillery, and Lieutenant Starkey, 100 4th Cinque Ports Artillery, commissariat 'officers. The 100 prizes are named after the Houses of Lords and Commons, the Duke of Cambridge 'a, the Prince of Wales's, the Duke i'Z", of Wellingeon's, the Marquis of Harrington's, and Her 1 00 Majesty's. Other prizes will be given in the form of badges too by the association. The prizes will be distributed by tivz 100 Under Secretary of State for War. The National Rifie As- Si. ciation have intimated their intention of giving a prize of L. ) 50/. The targets were moored out at MS, at 1.2..% and 1,500 ;" 0 yards range, each competing detachment to tire five : It rounds. Nothing could be more unfavourable than the St. tempestuous weather throughout the day, for the rain St poured down in such torrents that the targets at sea ?2,4 could with difficulty be seen. The business of the day was confined to shooting for the Lords and Commons prize too at 1,230 and 1,500 yards. There were about 500 compe 10 - titors, but in consequence of the late hour to which the st firing was prolonged the results meat be deferred. One St. of the Brighton detachments made 28, the highest on St the list when our report was despatched. SL BO NEW ACT ON THE CRIMINAL LAW.—An im to - portant act on the criminal law has just been printed, and W can now be enforced. Hitherto the law only allowed the IC expenses of prosecutions to be paid when a committal took SI. place, but by the new act the examining magistrates can ;Z: grant certificates of expenses for compensation of trouble t 0 and loss of time to witnesses in eases of felony and in at I certain eases of misdemeanour, although the witnesses St were not bound over, and although no committal took place. This beneficial alteration is made by the act 29 and 30 Viet., c. 52, which received the royal assent last week. ' Further, the clerks of petty sessions are to he allowed fees OD depositions. The certificates of the magistrates are to be forwarded to the quarter sessions, and they may wholly or partially allow the expenses and order payment. The act is only to apply to England, and to continue in operation three years. It is to extend the former acts on prosecutors' expenses—the 7 0 eo. IV., c. 34, and 14 and 15 Vick, c. 55. The first sod of the Lancashire Union Railways— • scheme intended to open up more fully the mineral dis trict. of South Lancashire—was cut yesterday in the town ship of Haigh, near Wigan, by Mr. Richard Moon, the chairman of the directors of the London and North Western Railway Company. The LATe MINISTRY.—During many years it has been a standing charge against the public men of England that they none of them took their stand on a principle or fixed limy : that they acted with exclusive reference to expediency or (as the less charitable did not hesitate to my) to place. At last, we have had a Cabinet who fairly staked their ministerial existence on a great measure, and honestly kept their pledge to stand or fall with it ; yet all sorts of reproaches have been heaped upon them, especially by friends and followers, as if they had wantonly sacrificed both the interests of the country and the prom:meta of their party to false notions of honour, pique, wounded self-love, or pride. We regard these reproaches as in the highest degree unreasonable and unjust. Mr. Gladstone's epeech in announcing the definitive resignation, was a complete answer to all of them. It was no less remarkable for argumentative tome than for becoming seWassertim and appropriate dignity of tone. He proved clearly that the vote on Lord Dunkellin's motion not only went directly to break up the framework of the Franchise Bill. but that, following clam on so many other combined attempts to defeat the =Name, it established ' the hopelessness of further perseverance for the present, and left the government no honourable alternative but to resign. To say that they resigned on a mere question of detail, is preposterous. As well my that Hampden con tested the claim of shipmoney for the sake of twelve shillings, the actual amount assessed upon him. Did the tories or the Adullamitea consider it a mere question between rating and rental They notoriously employed it as a means of getting rid of the government and the bill together ; and they would speedily have been ready with another motion for the purpose, if this had failed.— Fraser's Magazine for August. IGNORANCE OF CRIMINAL Won sw.—Of course these women are grossly ignorant—ignorant of what is mere A B C to a child brought up in a national school, and altogether incapable of instruction, apperently. They seem unable to make a mental effort—(the cunning we spoke of, be it remembered, is common to the lower order of animals)—to grasp a single truth in morals or religion. We remember to have asked a woman if she had ever heard of the Saviour : her only reply was a vacant stare. The question was repeated. Prmmtly she answered, " 1 beg your pardon ; I'm not a lensed woman." "Do you mean to say that you have lived all these years and never heard of Jesus Christ ?" "Oh ! Jesus Christ. Yes—oh, I yes; I have beard of him." Her manner indicated pretty I clearly that one name had as mach significance to her as the other. Such women are sot of course, as a rule, ignorant of the Saviour's acme. It may be doubted, how ever, if they understand a word of teaching by parable. Take the parable of the Prodigal tha--explain it clearly, as you think, and then ask them what you have been talk ing about. Either there will be no an sw er, or they will sneerer in a way which shows that they have only a literal understanding el what they have beard. The hist time the writer tried this plan the answer was, " You have been talking about killing a calf sad making a good sapper." Avis, " What do ion undaunted by the Good Shepherd ?" A pause.

MARK-LANE. —CITES DAY.) Very moderate supplies of English wheat ware received fresh up to our market to-day. The attendance of buyers was small, and sales, in consequence, programed slowly. However, owing to the changeable state of the weather, factors generally demand Is. to 2s. per qr. more money. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was moderately extensive. All description were held at an advance at ' from Is. to 2s. ; but the amount of business tnuatacted was by no means extensive. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly on fanner terms. The supply of barley on the stands was moderate. The trade was quiet at prices equal to Monday. Malt was in limited request, at into rates. We were well supplied with foreign testa, but soantilr with English produce. There was a moderate demand for most qualities, at about previous quotations. The inquiry for beans was heavy. In prices, however, no change took place. Peas were dull, but not cheaper. Flour supported late rates, with a moderate demand. Linseed changed handy to a fair extent ,• otherwise Ur seed trade was heavy. Cakes met a slow sale. CUILILE:Cf PRICSS. 15t4aLluiL Yet Qr. ; WHIG?. S.
