He (Mr. Bright) was the lest can LABOUCHERB. who roes amidst loud cries of " Divide," said he had believed, until the hen. gentleman who had jut sat down had addressed the house, that it was scarcely possible to add to the variety of pounds on which honourable gentlemen would support this motion. If tints and opportunity - served to go through the various speeches, and the grounds on which each guildsman would give his vote, he thought it would afford • curious illustration of what really would be the amount of opinion expressed, and the light that the public would derive from the vote which would be wane to to-night. But the hon. gentles's* who had jut sat down had, with his accustomed candour, declared to the house what was his object in supporting the resoled end he (Mr. L iboue he re) begged, ups cosily of thou geht'emcn who at on that (the ministerial) side of the heave, to mare the grounds on which the hon. gentleman should support the motion. He said he did not think that any redaction of tuition would be of service anises it were accompanied by a ream. position of • duty on earn. [Captain Harris —" Any large reduction."] Any seesiderable amount of taxation was the frank and candid statement of the hon. academia; and how, with that opinion, he could vote for the motion in the terms la whisk it was coached, he was at • loss to discover, for the ben. gentleman stated that the object he had is giving this vote was to promote a reversal of the policy that the house had taken. sad he said distinctly that he contem plated • duty on the import of coon to the amount of 6a. • porter. And now, win retard to the terms of the motion, he certainly was net prepared, as the put of her Majesty's goverhment, to espies, anything in contradistinc. tion to those terms. Indeed, his reasons for asking the house to &tredve the motion would be altogether incon sistent with any such argument. He should pi sent bieusell with ill grace to the house, if he were not able to state to them that he thought the government had given practical proof, not merely by protesaiais bat by actions in the redactions they had carried out in the present and la the past year that they felt that ell uniecersary expenditure produced unnecessary tuxedos, and that all taxation was in itself a great evil to all alasse., and more especially to the waking claws of the eioactry ; and that it was the pareatouut duty of the house to reduce that expend:- tare as rapidly as they could consistently wide those otter interests which it was their duty not to hate sight of. 0 the three great estimates—those upon which alone everybody agreed any large subtitle= could take plea—he meant !or the three peat services of the army, navy, and ordnance —a sum of not less than 730,0001. had been saved this year, and, as compered with the year before, not less than • stallion sterling. This, he said, was • practical proof that the govern meat had not neglected their duty to the house in this' respect, and that they had gradually but effectually tippled themselves to retrenchment. He wu aware that a denim anim aid the people of he country that economy sh - .old be carried into effect consistently with the real interest of the country. He would rot inquire into the reasons which made gentlemen la the landed interest especially eager on this sub ject at the present moment. Whatever those reisons might be, it was the duty of the house to see that the public money should be expended only with a special view to the public goad. Bat was this • reason (or agree bag to an abstract resolution like this, and at • cement when the government had given prac tical proof of the spirit of economy which animated them. He could not, he confessed, altogether separate • motion of this kind from the speck, s et the boo. eeitlemen who pro paced and seconded it. He halliard there was a time is this country Rhea it was muse important fur the real into rests of the country that the credit of the country should be unshaken, sad the must say that the Language of the boa. gentleman who brought leeward the winos, and that of the hon. member foe Oxfordshire, who woe generally so prudent and cautions, when he told the house that taxation was becoming uabearable in the country, he could not help sappos cg that leaguers of that kind would lead foreign Retinas to form avant inuaarate notion of the real resources sad the tioaneiel state of the country. He did not deny that there was distress in portions of the country ; he believed that among the agriculturists there was great and severe, though he hoped but tem porary, distress ; but to sate that the whole of the eouatry was to a di- tressed condition, or to state that it was less capable of exe.tson tor any natiet.al object, Cr to sup. port the taxation of the country, was a stateinent which he ta-lieuel might be made with as little or leis proof in this year of 1850 than in any period during the Let 50 years. ("Divide.") Mr. MUSTZ said the right boa. gentleman the President of the Board of Trade said government had given r • :deal proof that they sw.:dild economise as much as pcasible, hot allow him to say that they required a great deal of coercion to asks them ecoavatiae. With respect to the motion, he con iicred it a paled truism, and he was utcaished that government diu not adopt it at ones. It was quite clear, cusaideriag lbs low prices that prevailed, that some seduc tions must be msde. do ie. v.. 1 Mr. BROTHERTON said if he thought this motion was likely to reduce tax aim he would vote for it : but he was disposed to think, with the member for Middlesex, that it was a trap,ir.to which the hon. member for Manch es ter had fallen. He was not for these sham motion?, which they pretended were in favour of economy and retrenchment, but which were in feet • deception sad a fallacy. Lord DUNCAN said the hon. gestleman who had last addressed the house stated that this motion was Mightily framed with a view to catch some mem. ben of that house in a trap. He for one would say that it had caught him. He bad nothing to do wish the Latest of the motion; he had only to take it as it was worded, and in chat Le saw nothing objectionable, but something that he approved. Mr. H. DRUMMOND then rose to npiy. ThR had been designated as a sham motion, bat he could tell them what sham votes were—thou votes which they knew would not embarrass the government. (Cheers) He had no right to complain of any gentleman misunderstanding him. No doubt the fault was with himself. He took tobacco and hope as an illustration, and said he objected to government interfering with anything which agriculturists produced. It had been denied that the repeal of the malt and hop duties would lee no relief to agriculturists. Now, he had a petition In his hand from flu people of Ouildior i, which he would read, In crier that the house might judge whether his allegations were correct. It stated that there appearing no prospect rf a return to protec tive duties the petitioners considered that • duty on malt sad hops inconsistent in principle with free trade, meat unfair and injurious to farmers, and they prayed that they might be allowed the free use of barley, sad also that the du.y on hope might be take off. They also prayed that the solaria* of all public functionaries might be reduced proyortiocably to the price of commodities. (Hear, hear.) Thu was precisely the purport of his motion. This motion was no trap, :tut • plain intelligible motion ; and as such he called upon the house to support it. The kouse then divided. For the mots= Agsicat it l9O-3t COUNTY RATES. — Mr. F. fIaCILENZIE asked whet object was intended to be gained, so far as the alai/don of Jews was commented, by giving the committee power to examine papers which had special referenee to Qualm.? Mr. P. WOOD oteetved that he rested a considerable portion of his inquiry on the ease of Mr. Pewee, and that for that reason he had put Quakers on the fees of his motion. Sir R. PEEL said that cn two several occasions he had given his cordial support to the noble lord at the head of the government, in attempting by law to remove the impediments whisk obstructed the admission of Jewel to parliament. Had the noble lord proeseded in the ems' of the present session 'gain to remove these int. pediments by legisla tive enactment, there was no member of that house who would be dispoeed to give a more serail support to that bill then he (81, R. Peel) would. He Rader stood the hoes. and learned gentleman (Mr. Wood) to pro• F•ra committee to make an inquiry which should not pre o the question at inns. If that were th e understanding (81 R. Peel) would oder as ebjeetitia to the appointment of the committee ; but this he mall mg distinctly, that there was no hon. gentleman who had voted strenuously against the admission of the Jews who would watch with greater jealousy than be would watch any attempt by the House of Commons to raperwde the authority of the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) He would not argue the subject now, but he hoped the house would altogether suspend its judgment, and not consider that the case of Mr. Pease was at ell • precedent or an admission of the right of other dissenters to sit La the house. The high character of the hon. gentleman, both for learning and integrity justified the house in believing that he wo u ld not submit the motion if be did not think it neces sary. Still, he (Sir R. Peel) must, say again that attar having twice voted for the admission of the Jaws to pulls went, there was aq gentlemaa in that house who would watch with greater jealousy than he would lest any interfer ence should be attempted by the Hoene of Commons with the House of Lords. (Cheers.) Mr. WORTLEY said it was not his Intention to oppose the motion. — Lord J. RUSSELL did not conesiee that by appointing the proposed committee the house paned any judgment as to whether a Jew could take his seat. It was of very great importance that there should be a committee. It appeared to him that the question both as to the acts of parliament, and as to the meaner in which the house interpreted the acts in the ems of Mr. Pease, were of very considerable consequenee. (Hear, hear.) He was at a lose to under. stand how it wog that Mr. Pease made affirmation in the way be did, and that afterwards an act should be passed appointing the mode is which that affirmation should be made, for, if the house were justified in admitting Mr. Pena upon his affirmation, it appeared to be unnecessary afterwards to enact by a fresh act that he should make that affirmation in a certain way. Mr. ANSTEY thought the question would be concluded if Baron Rothschild were admitted by the hots*, and that no judge would be found bold enough to charge, and no jury blue eunuch to find, against him. Mr. WALPOLE concurred with the right hon. baronet the member for Tamworth in wishing to see this question fully and fairly investigated. The motion was agreed to. PARISH CONSTABLES BILL. Mr. DEEIJES mored iaiperiii;i:aii.CaVaauce a bill to amend the 6th and 6th Victoria, which had reference to parish constables. LtSTIP ••1111 tholll s leVell to bring in the bill. PROCESS A D PRACTICE (IRELAND) BILL. On the orier of the day for going into committee on this bill being wad, said he mould oppose their going into cninruit , et on so important a lid! at that late hour. He &demi...Ad SOMT of its clauses were unobjectionable, but there were others which the Irish members would wish to have explained, and in their absence he did not think the bill ought to be pressed. He should certainly divide the house if she ratter were persevered in. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SADLEIR assured the hon. and gallant gentleman if he listened to the hoe. and learned Solicitor-General in committee, he would fully explain to him the entire nature and stove of the measure, which was very important. There fore he hoped he would not persevere in his opp3aitivs. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it would not occupy mare than half-an-hour, and in the event of any difficulty ari.ing it could be postponed. If not entert land now it might not be until after Easter. Mr. OROGAN opposed going into committee at that hour. The O'GORMAN MAHON urged the necessity of going into committee, as the bill was one of grtat importance to Ireland. After some conversation, in the course of which the Solicitor-General suggested that the tons@ should de vote an hour or two etch night, that they might get through these Irish bills, which otherwise might be delayed until too lite a peeled of the session to peas them, and that govern ment did not propose to proceed with the Irish Court of Chancery Bill until after Easter, Colonel DUNNE said, as the opinion of the house ap• peered to be against rim, he would not divide against the motion for going into commit , es. The house then went into committee, and clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to. Clause 4 was omitted. Clanses to 10 inclusive wire agreed to. Mr. GROGAN suggested that the bill should be post poned until time had Len given for receiving communica toms from the legal profession in Dublin. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL acceded to this sugges tion. •.L•it Tim Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, Sir HENRY WARD, has pblished his account of the late insur t eetion in Cepha lo nia, and of the mea sures which he resorted to in order to suppress and to avenge it. We are not going, for the present, to dis pute or question any of his Excellency's assertions ; although his admission that " he lives in an atmo sphere where truth is unknown," most prompt every one to entertain doubts and scruples. as to what it may please even a High Commissioner to assert from the testimony of such people. Our aim her shall be to form a judgment of Sir HENRY WARD from his own accounts and admissions. And we must say, that these for* the most singular self-portraiture of congitutional government by an ex-liberal that we have yet encountered. On the morning of the 30th of last August Sir HENRY WARD received intelligence of a popular out break in Cepholotie, of which "he admits that hi had no means of forming an opinion then, as to the origin or objects of the movement." Nevertheless, the first thiug that this liberal chief of a constitu tional government does is to arm himself forthwith with absolute power, - , according to a certain article, section, and chapti.r of the constitution, which was one of the first of his powers and duties got by heart. This he worthily follows out by offering a reward for certain supposed criminals to be brought to him alive or dead. The person so unceremoniously treated was a noto ricus bandit, VLACCO, who had been living by raising black mail on the Cephaloniane, and who, with a kindred character, the priest NODARI, " had taken advantage of some disputes bets een the villagers and the signori, in the district of Scats, to create a rising." The way in which the feudal and wealthy lords of these islands mulct and oppress the peasantry has been described in many book., and sufficiently ac counts fur the permanent fend between the cultivators and the peasant population on one side, the signori and usurers on tho other. Sir HENRY WARD at first rightly describes it " as a civil, almost s servile war; a war of tenants against lenelords, of conforlini against signori, of debtors ag.linst creditors, in which hostility to the government is disclaimed."' Nevertheless, Sir HENRY resolved to put down this agrarian riot by martial law, and set out himself with an army to Enron,e this law. This army landed beneath tLe insurgent village, and we have a v.ry pompous bulletin of how this village' and the heights were carried by storm after a very valorous re.sistalice, but of one man killed or wounded on either side we do not learn. Sir HENRY WARD, having headed the expedition, showed bath his powers as a poet and as Lord High Commissioner, to make not only a campaign of it, but a formidable rebellion. VLacco, the bandit, he swells into a SMITH O'BRIEN. The first report of the superintene ent of police, which represented the business as a quarrel of country debtors against village usurers, is thru'.t aside for other reports got up " in that atmo sphere where truth is unknown," and which tells us of a conspiracy which embraced the whole Levant, which bad begun to raise an army of Albanians, and of which his Nlsjesty of GREECE was the august instigator. That this ma's of humbug, partly worked out of the fears of the chief brigands, who were most anxious to put on the respectable cloak of political conspirators, actually impesed upon Sir HENRY WARD, we are willing to believe; that there may be , a grain of truth amidst the whole bushel of lie , , is possible—bat that the circumstancrs or the revelations warrant the absurd rwlemnity and the criminal atro city with which a British governor aped the mantic.' and the rigour of Austrian and Itus.aan commander, no Englishman who has the good fortune to live out of the atmosphere of colonial officials can admit. Sixty-eight persons were tried by court-martial, which acquitted but two. Of these forty-four were condemned to death, and twenty-one hanged. We say nothing as to the execution of VLACCO, or NODARI, or of the men actually engaged in the murder of METAXA and the burning of his house. But numbers of these twenty-one were merely guilty of having joined the riotous bind, and their summary conviction and execution, consi4ering how they were tried, the ignorance and heat of their military judges, strike us, as reflecting strongly on the mercy and the consideration of ter :MAJESTY'S representative. Fron the executions we pass to the fl"ggiuge, a species of punishment on which we have previously animadverted, as peculiarly unfitted for natives of the south of Europe, who suffer far more in actual pain and in consequences from these brutalities of the north. Of the 6S tried by court martial, many were condemned to ba flogged, and suffered the apportion mot of that penalty. But, independent of those condemned, the (facers commanding in Cephalonia dealt forth floggings summarily, precisely as the Austrians do in Italy to whoever offend them. Thus, one lonian, FURGNIOTTI, received 24 lashes for giving food to so insurgent! On one occasion the prisoners were thrust into a narrow room, " and as the sentries did not know the language, it was abso lutely necessary to prevent conversation am angst them," so that all those who ventured to sieak were instantly taken out and flogged ! When several were thus punished to enforce the "silent system," a great many others were flogged fur uttering falsehood and equivocation. Sir HENRY WARD admits Clot the very atmosphere he lived in was falsehood. Yet he flogged poor prisoners for a fault which it seems was universal. Another man was flogged for nut giving up the key of his house. And Sir HENRY WARD, her MAJESTY'S knight and co - nmiasioner, tells us that he ordered these floggit.g. " from motives of humanity." It seems that the Daily News, according to the assertion of Sir HENRY WARD, WAS wrong in the number of persons it paid to have been flogged' that it was an error when it described the " cats " 1 as armed with lead, the cats being merely those sanc tioned in her MAJESTY'S navy ; that the vineyard and olive trees were not cut down by the troops. It seems, too, that the troops were actually fired on, though we have not heard of a casualty or a wound, except in the case of the Primate. 'We are willing to give Sir HENRY WARD the full benefit of his own assertions and exculpation.. And were we, in addition, to place credence in the monstrous noun se of his Ex elleney's imagination, crediting all the conspiracies, and secret societies,and rebellions that helms conjured up—even then we could not but consider the conduct in Cepha lonia of Srt HENRY WARD, ex-member fur the popular borough of She ffi eld, to have been as blindly tyrannical an d brutally vindictive as any purveyor of the gallows or wielder of the cat-o'-nine-talc, that ever forfeited the character of liberal, or disgraced the name of Englishman. When the conduct of Sir HENRY WARD, under sanction of our Colonial-office, has enabled the riIIICS newspaper, the champion of Austrian atrocity, to make a compa rison between the executions and floggings in Hungary and chest , in Cephalonia, and is thus en abled to excuse the infamy of a HAYNAII by the kin dred bloodthirstineas of a WARD, the comparison speaks for itself, and must act as a burning brand upon the government that can sanction, or the parlia ment that can tolerate such act/. bat from the influence which the principles it affirms are likely to exercise upon the relations subsisting between the owners and occupiers of other kinds of landed property. The commission, at the head of which was placed, we know not why, the Earl of Ilanaowev, and which washes, we need not say, of persons known to be devoted to the maintenance of the establishment in spiritual pomp and power, seems to have been in spired with oneparamount aim—namely, how to secure the greatest amount of permanent gain for the bishops ana clergy. We do not wish to be andentood as saying this reproachfully. P ro b a bl y t h e individuals whose names are appended to the report believed that they were expected to inquire with that view, and to advise in that sense. Certainly we are very glad that, having so conceived of their duty, they have been candid in avowing it. What equitable rights lessees of ecclesiastical lands may have, or whether iisey lave any u against the Interest of the church, the commissioners formally refuse to dinner. But they are "unanimously of opinion that there are masons of policy and prudence for continuing, as a rizlal, rule, the prevent relatio n s of lessors and " subject to certain modifications calculated to enhance very considerably the proximate, OA well as the eventual, value of church lands. Episcopal and capitular property may be generally said to be held in four different ways : let, under leases for years with covenants of renewal at the ex piration of a certain number of years ; 2nd, under lessee for lives, renewable on the falling in of each life ; 3rd, by lettings at the rack-rent; 4th, in hard. With tenon to the two latter descriptions, the com missioners being unab'et to suggest any batter condi tion for the sake of the church, volunteer the some what superfluous advice that no change should be made. "We recommend that all property let at rack rent or in hand should, as a general rule, be retained in the same condition." 11 , body, we think, will doubt, after reading this dictum of orthodox finance, as to what the dispositions and sentiments are which animate Lord HARROWBY and his asso ciates in the Episcopal and Capitular Comm:Rion. And for that very reason we own that we attach all the more weight to the admissions which the con siderations "of policy and prudence" before adverted be, have led them to make in other parts of their re fart. When they come to deal with the fleet and second claqi of ecclesiastical lends they do not deem it either politic or prudent to recommend the raven nd and right reverend lessors to attempt the absorption of the entire usufruct and improved value. They do not say, but everybody knows that by custom amounting to prescription, the holder of a Lase from a bishop or chapter counts upon obtaining a renewal every seven or every tea jeers, es the cue may be. Ti. true that in some in ctanees where, in the credulity of his heart, he has ventured to lay out money on permanent improve ments, he has either h.ea compelled to submit to the exaction of an extra fine—the penalty for his labour and capital expen7:ed usefully—or his equitable right to a renewal has been absolutely set It nought, and the lease suffered to run out. But the temporary nature of the individual interest which each eccle siastic has in the issues and proflts of each farm or letting, serves to check the impulses of sacerdotal cupidity. It is not pl asant to lie out of all gain from I the tenant for 14 or 20 years, f)r sake of the chance of outliving the impious serf and ultimately pocketing ample compensation. The epirit may be willing, bat the flesh is weak; and many a tenant of church land benefits by the hypochondriacal qualms of dignita ries whom the working clergy aver, eelekm, it ever, are known to die. The aim of the Episcopal and Cap:tular Commis sioners, however, is twofold: they went to render the gross revenue of the church greater, and they wish to render it more equable. They prop - se accordingly to diminish the utotive to the pre*nt system of gambling on lives in the leases, by convening half the renewal fines into yearly rents—thus insuring pro (onto a greater equability of profit at all times ; arid they further propose that the lessee should be d , cla:ed entitled to perpetual renewal, sielject to a revised vzlustion every 21 years—the price of this boon being fixed ct certain advanced rates of rent and tine, but ranging from a third to a half. For the details and calculations we must refer our readers to the report itself. They appear to have been made with due notarial care, and nos inconsiderab:e intrinsic intermit apart from the considerations where with they are thus associated. But the important feature of the whole is the dis tinct and builmmelike recognition of the money and marketable value of the tenant's right to perpetual renewal. Whether the value put thereon by the commissioners be correct or fair, is another question. Thera are easy and obvious means of testi-g their accuracy in this respect. The tenants will, pro- bably, have much to say upon the subject tefure any legislative action can be taken with re gard to it; and the subordinate question,—whether the power of conversion should be left optional or not —is in itself deserving of grave and deliberate coceide ration. But be these as they may, we have on record this valuable admission, that in order to secure greater profits from their lands to the clergy, it is indispensable that the knees should be given some batter security than they now enjoy, and that if they permanently improve, they shall not lose the legitimate flint and recompense of their labcur. It is rot fur the sake of the tenants thst the preposition is made. It is for the eeke of the church, which is thus, we are told, to obtain "an increase of 19/. on e., seventy•siz per cent." Whatever may be thought of the terms, the principle is plainly admitted that per manercy of occupation is of immense value even in a pecuniary and mercantile sena.; and that no better method can be suggested for the permanent and steady augmentation of rent than the complete eman cipation of the occupiers of the soil from a de;rading and disheartening dependence on the avarice or caprice of its owners. •• . •lot. to give • triumph to the protectionists, as • * I • vow note stroegly than ever opposed to *sit sera toot the statemeate which had bee* Li .14:6 of first-trals by the noble lord the r• s eolcherer, were wholly opiEssod to the real he • t•.: ate. hut Ds asaisitained that it was not the p. .:. • bey man who was in favour of retrenchment to 11.. w the , eth•sa of protection to interfere with his vote on ; e • c: ce1•60.2 or indee I to be mixed up with the ns. tA.. • before them.

Mr. WOOD rose to move for • select committee to search the journals of this house. and to report such precedents and such sett, or ;tarts of acts of parliament, as relate to the question of Jews, or other persons, being admitted to take their seats in parliament without being sworn upon the holy gospels; and further, to inquire and report in what manner Joseph Pease, E.q., on taking his seat in this house in the year 1433, made affirmation to the effect of the oaths required by law to be taken by members before taking their Rata in this house; and also, to inquire and report in what manner Jews sod other pennon, not profess ing the Christian religion, are permitted to make oath in courts of justice end other places where an oath Is allowed, authorisrd, or required to be taken. The house being already fully aware of the eirenntstaiten ef the me in which the present motion originated, be would not at that late hour enter into the details of that cue. He was induced, as an elector of the city of London, and at the call of several other electors, to submit this motion to the house with a view of arriving at some conclusion upon a matter which it would be impossible to withhold for any lengthened pericd from l's consideration. No person could suppose that a gentleman who had been twice returned by such a constituency as that of the City of London, and who had been unable to take his teat in that house for certain reasons, could be allowed to remain in such a position without some steps being taken one way or the other in the matter. He did not donee to prejudge the decision of the house. His object was to obtain • c rnmittee of inquiry, and for that course be found a precedent la the Jour nab of the house in the case of Mr. Pone, who had beta allowed to sit in that house upon making an affirmation instead of taking the oath in the form pre scribed by the Bth of Oeo. 111. The motion which he made was pre- dy the same as that which had been made in the ease of Mr. Passe, suck alterations only been made as the dreametances eel the present case rendered indispensa ble. He believed that some important results might follow from such en inquiry, as he pro posed. First of all, there wire no leas than 19 acts of parliament having a direct beerier on this subject, and he was not prepared to my that there were not many more. There were also precedents in the journals of the house — not many he admit Md—of persons who claimed to be admitted into the house without taking the oath required. One of the persons who so claimed to be admitted lam the settlement of that particular oath of abjuration which now regulated the admission of members into that house, had been refused admittance. But Mr . Pew had been admitted upon a residences of that house, and without the sanction—at lent without the direct sanction of an act of parliament. Now, there were three points of great importance, which were well worth the eon. sideration of such a committee sa he proposed. The lint was as to the mode in which poems ail any religiose pensmion ttta. vat, Kr.

Mr. SADLEIR said that though he had no desire to appear as the champion of the body referred to, he must pro. list against the application of such language to a respectable commercial body. The SOLICI lOR GENERAL had felt bound to send a copy of the bill to every one at all interested in the matter. The Cita:mute then reported progress. The Turnpike•road and Bridge Trusts (Ireland) Bill was then read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at ten minutes to 1 o'clock. • The superintealeatot pollee, Iternandkihniared the language of the neenintry to be dot they had nothing Is de with the gweratitent, but with the Ewen dom. whl, they .7, although their rut - rows are sail in the dry. pessde, those doge with to hang to, b) means or ppuire or gleam, at watch they seek to Ine(1100 tha pAyntint ; tact yeur. likewise, on the wegiveraury at Unlimited of the Hely Cr..., we bail no lolootioll of Wei eieleet the epewhotent, but only agulust the atimori.° THE Report of the Epiecopal and Canitular Com missioners, recently presented to parliament, is a document of no ordinary interest, not only from its 'specific bearing on the future revenues of the church, THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1860. 3 been t he to Monopoly, which he knew was impossible, but as a means were *Witted to take the oa the law of the lead at the bat from the in fl uence which the principles it affirms Chugarnier.

The square on which stands the Bourse was very animated in its appearance to-day, and the purlieus of ti.e abode where tho Union Electoral° holds its meetings was crowded with spreulatcrs and people curious to know the result cf the ballot for the elec tions of the Seine. It is remarkable that a turn bee taken place in the older of tho toms of the Gniln list, Gec,ral De la Hitte standing lut, whilst Fernand Foy is placed first. This is attributed by the knowing ones to the same intrigue that cuabled M. Fould to *sad in which N. Placatory and other Orlesnist chiefs are the movers. The complete results in the let, 2nd, :3rd, and 10th arrondissements of Paris are so follow: let arron dissement, Lahitte, 11,101 ; Foy, 11,908 Bonjean, 10,891; Carnot, 6,895 ; Vidal, 5,787; Da Flat*, 6,706.-2 ad, Lahitte, 9,449; Foy, 9,247 • Bonjean, 9,406; Carnot, 6,799; Vidal, 6,600; Flotte, 6,249.-3rd, Lahitte, 6,066; Bonjean, 6,096 ; Foy, 6,121; Carnot, 5,891 ; Vidal, 5,613 ; Ds Flotte, 6,405. —loth, Lshitte, 10,127; Borjean, 10,036; Foy, 9,990; Carnot, 7,482; Vidal, 7,117; De Flotte, 7,027. The Siteln, in an edition published at one o'clock, states that the number of votes already known was 30,000, divided as follows.—Candidates of the Elec toral Union: Bonjean, 14,247; Foy, 14,255; I. , hizte, 11,138.—Cardidates of the democratic socialist party : Carrot, 13,739; 1)e Moth., 13,176; Vidal, 13,367,1 The other votes are scattered on diff.went candidates. I At four o'clock, tt e only arrordissemcnt of which the results were not known were the dth and the 9th. The general casting op of rotes for Pans within the walls, and exc?pting only the arrondissements abJve mentioned, showed,acearding to the lists of tl:e Union, a tusj ,city of only 3,000 in favour of the candidates of order. The votes of the Hotel des lavalides w,re examined no Monday. Out of 2,000 votes given by the vet, rang id that institution, 1,700 were given for the list of the Electoral Union, and 300 for that f tte socialists. The Legislative Assembly yesterday commenced the discussion on the third reading of the Organic Law on Public Instruel ion. In the courto of the dry General d'Hautpoul, the Minister of War, presented a bill demanding an extraordinary credit of 2,629,000 f. for the expense of the expeditionary corps of the Mediterranean during the year MO. There was the greatest difficulty in forming a house to-day; when it was got together, the third reading of the Electoral Bill was metaled with. There was an immense assemblage at the Bastille yesterday. The garrison of Paris Felt a depntatirn of soldiers to place crowns on the railings, and last night M. Cartier issued a proclamation, prohibiting such manifestations, at the command of General ITALY. The Constitutioneelpositively announces this morn. ing that the Pope will return to Rome on tl.c first Thursday after Lent, and that the French fleet will proceed to Naples, to escort h'm to Civita Vcechia. The Courrier Francais, on the other hind, says: We have before us a letter from Naples, which brings news of great importance. Pius IX. having declared his firm determination not to return to Rome except under the protection of a mixed garrison of Austrians, Spaniards, French, and Neapolitans, Gen. Baraguay d'Hillier. considered it his duty to take the orders of the French government on the conduct to be observed in this grave circumstance.
