If, however. the Duke of Marlborough wished to make any compromise, why did he tot cement to the second reading of the bill, and so mo dify it in committee as to accomplish that ohjeet He de nied that the opponents of church-rates were ie:meal by say ulterior 12100:100. In his opinion, church-rates were a hardship to the diameters, inflicting an injury to the church sod tending to destroy that tannuay which "light to pre vail moan Christaa communities. He should therefore support the motion for the second reading of the hill. Archbishop of CANTERBURY assured their lord ahips that the right reverend bench would not be unwilling ' to ) tell to any measure of conciliation to which they felt they ...old cormistently with their sense of duty agree. The bill had been mainly supported °a two grounds— first, its beseticial effects Ul.O the church ; and worldly. on its being as act of Justice to dim...stem They were told that if it pared the church would greatly gain is popilarity aad M gave the noble lords who had used that argument full credit for their sincerity •, but exactly the some reimeing had been rtoorted to by the Liberitian Society for another purpose. 1 hey were told by that society that the church would be so meth mimed in spirituality and power by the entire severan w of its connex• ion with tar sta i r, that it would b e gr ea tly b.- ne tt e d by a dieeliatiou of the tie which bound them together. The curn.Tience betwom the two arguments was certainly most singu/ar. (Hear, hear.)

He knew that church.mtes gave tame to acritr..inioits discussionii, but was of opinion that those very discumioes ...assumed a more lively interest to be taken in the affsirs of the church. The law as it stood at present answered its purpose in the great majority of parishes, sod he therefore would not, especially after the revelations of the designs of the dissenters, made before the committee, be a party to the alteration of that law. The Earl of supported the bill. The Duke of RUTLAND should rote against the bill of the noble lord, became he believed it would nut produce peace, but eacourage the dissenters to proceed in their opposition to the church ; because he felt that he should be relieving his own property from • charge to which it was fairly liable, and, abort all, because he felt it would deprive the poor man of • right that had been handed down to hint from time immemorial. (Hear.) ..ThM37akeof SOKERSif ;Sid that whatever might be the opinion of various' individuals au this subject, there could be no doubt that the present state of the law was unsatisfactory and required asme chino. It was produc. tire of disoontent and disunion. The payment of church rates had now become • kind of nffigicaus test in the large towns, and the result wee saes* *famous to the interests of the church. It de admiSted that the law could act be en• forced, and it was mat webs to ist in a law of that kind. For these room le ehottkt vote far the second reading of the bill. The Doke of NEWCAffirLE said he did not rise for the purpose of discussing the bill, but for the purpose of ea phoning the vote he was about to give. He came down to the house inclined to vote on this question as he had done two years ago, but his opinion devery much shaken both by what had taken place recently in the House of Com mons, :and also in their lordships house. The ques tion ha. I been treated in quite a different during the present year, and it must be apparent to all that • compromise was now almost impossible The noble earl (Grey) said that the suggestion contained in the report of the committee was worse than the abolition of the rate. He tharefore came to the conclusion, which he did with the greatest hesitation and pain, that he should best fulfil hie duty by voting for the second reading of the bilL The noble doh, the mover of the amendment on the present occasion was five years ago the author of • bill the praunble of which ran in some such words as them : " Whereas it is dminible that church rates should beabo limbed." The most rev. prelate also brought ins bill Ave years ago which contained • chum &dame t het where church rates had been successfully resisted for two years, they should for ewer be abolished in that parish. Ou the present 00311. Woe, however, the most rev. prelate conteoded that chi:rel eases should be held inviolable, and argued that they were I matter ,if le and of perpetuity. His own expends., and the ku owlet of what was passing in his own neighbour loud, pros. ol to M that this question was making progress is the country, and that church-rates were not only opposed by dissenters, but by churchmen. For these reasons, although he did not approve of the bill of hi+ noble Maud, be should vote. though with pain and hesitation, for its mood reading, in the hope that, in committee, some pro positioo for a fair and satisfactory settlement of this diffi cult question might be made. (Hear, hear.) The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he strongly objected to the abolition of church rates, because he be lieved they were essential to the church. He would there fore make the collecti,n of church rates compulsory on churchmen, but not on inseecters. Th.' LIZ I of DERBY said he would not detain their lord. ships long, lying well convinced that they would adhere to tho opinion which they had formerly exproseed on this question. lie should not have risen at ail but for what had fallen from the noble duke who spoke last, and who stated not only that he had changed his opinion, but that ho had done so wholly irrespective of the merits of the question itself. The noble duke said he shotid be extremely unwill. Mg to see this, measure pas+ ; but in the belief that some amendment might be adopted by their lordships, and ac cepted by the other house, he proposed to vote for the se coed reading of • measure which he considered dangerous i. principle. The noble duke had founded his change of opinion on the altered course which he said bad been pursued by the House of Commons. That altered 1 course was a very coesiderable increase in the numbers of that hones who wished to maintain the existing law. (Hear, hear.) When be saw a majority diminishing from 74 to 59, then to 29, and at last to the ominous number of 9, he th.eight that it indicated a considerable alteration of feeling in favour of the maintenance of the principle of the existinglaw. If the noble lord who opened the discards had been • member of their lordships' booms lasi year, and seen the overwhelming expression of opiaioa there, or if he had been • member of the House of Commas this year , and had seen the dwindling majorities by which the bill was supported there, he would have amassed the better part of valour, and would not have brwaght it forward at all. The noble duke had talked of the abeems of • os cillatory spirit. But on which side was that meet ? (Hear, hear.) They were now called upon to dial, on the ground that oincession and compromise were impasible, sad that it was absolutely necessary to choose between the maintenance of the existing law sad the entire abolition of church rates. This was the language of all the eupporters of the bill. This and that compromise bad been this awl that endeavour to come to terms had =r e nt. by the friend+ of the church—but the result had only been that every compromise :old rifer which they had made for the parley«, of showing their good feeling had been met with the taunt that they were sacrificing their own princi ples, abandoning the whole ease, and bringing forward mwsuros worse then total abolition. (Hear, hear.) Such • was the spirit in which their concessions had been met ; and it we.. too much for the noble duke now to get up and say that he had changed his vote in consequence of there being as absence of conciliatory spirit on the other side. (Hear.) He (Lord Derby) protested against the allegation that the recommendatiotia of the committee bad practically &ban ' done-I the principle of church rates. They had maintained the right of the majority of a periih to tax themselves fur their own °Nixie—to levy a church rote by an equal rate, , as oppeol to voluntary contributions ; and they hail re. comnienalel that the law shout , ' be strengthened fur the re °every of rates so impose' ; and if, fur peace.sake, they had sonsentel to the exemption of certain ponds from the common burden whi:h fell on the rest of the parishioners, they had at theesnun time proVitlell that persons so exempted should not be io any degree entitled to take part in the ad ministration of those Niels to which they did not contribute their share. That might be an extreme concession, and not eassistest with strict justice, but he was cot ethernet of it. Those persons would not Le deprived of the rights of parishioners; they would only be deprived of any control over the application of feeds to which they did not contribute. He repudiated the notion that they had conceded the principle of the measure by this exemption, and assorted that if there had been an stades of oinciliation or cencession, it was Dot upon the supporters of the existing law that that charge ought to rest. They had eudeaviiured to meet their opponents more than half •way ; but they said that there should he no alter native but absolute abolition of the existing law. If that alternative wore fore el mon them, greatly as the friends of the church objected to that law, and desirous as they were to amend it. his choice was made without hesitation ; with all its imperfections he would maintain the existing law as against the entire abolition of church rates. (Hear.) Lori LYVEDEN, in reply, said the debate had been highly satisfactory to hire. as he hail nothing to answer. The noble earl told him that be would have exercised • wise discretion in not bringing forward this bill ; but he hail been taught, in the sanie +big school in which the noble earl had graduated—(n laugh)—never to give up a cause because it was supported but by a minority. The noble earl professed himself ready to justify the report of their lordshipis' com mittee ; but he did not go so fez as to my that he would found • bill upon it. Their lordships then divided : For the second reading 3l Against it FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill paused through committee.

Earl GRAS VILLE moved that the bill should be referred to a select committee.

Mr. BAILLIE wished to Leer the Minister for War whether he had received any reports from oaken com manding field batteries of 12-pound Armstrong guns, and, if so, whether those officer, bad not reported them to be too complicated for actual service. Mr. S. HERBERT had received no such report, but would arks inquiries HARBOURS OF REFUGE. Mr. LINDSAY rose to move that, in the opinion of this house, it was the duty of herMajeety's government to adopt, at the earliest possible period, the necessary measures to carry into effect the reconunendations of the commissioners appointed in 181$ to inquire into the formation of harbour' of refuge on the coasts of Great Bri. tin and Ireland. This motion, he said, had stood on the paper since Wt session, as, in his opinion, it wee a question which should have been taken up by the govern ment, but as they hail omitted or neglected to notice it he now felt bound to bring it before the house. The greatness of our maritime trade rendered this question most important. The President of the Scant of Trade might may he objected to abstract resolutions like the present one, and that it world be time to deal with the question when they had money for harbours of refuge and were prepared to spend it upon them ; but he would remind the right hon. gentle man that he once himself brought forward a cele br ated abstract resolution, asking for a much larger sum than he now asked the house to vote. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman submitted to the house an abstract resolution in favour of the repeal of the paper duties, which was carried, and when he became a member of the government he used his inff mace in the cabinet to put it in force ; and, by that resolution, he did not ask for a sum of 230,0001. • year fur ten but he asked the house to give up for ever 1„0001. per annum. (Opposition cheers.) He (Mr. Lindsay) did not know whether the government intended to ask the house to adopt the report just laid on the table with regard to the defences of the country, but without wishing to anti cipate discussion upon that question he must say that it touched upon the subject of his resolution. Our great de. fence ever had been and ever would be on the waters. (Hear, hear.) It was not su ffi cient to say that everything had been changed mince the application of screws to ships of war, for whatever change had taken place in the mu& of conducting warfare, we were essentially a maritime people, and our peat strength must ever be on the wide= (Rear, hear.) As regarded, therefore, the defence =the country, he asked the house to oupport his resolution, and he did so on this pound, that while these harbours of refuge would provide all round the moat a rendezvous for ships el war, and stations for convoy. of merchant vessels in a time of warfare, they would complete those points of de- AMMO as regarded our different ports which would be re quired even if 12,000,0001. were expended on fortifications. There would be no end to an expenditure on fortifications; for whim cote they bepn • system of fortifying our coeds, it as be continued on both sides of the kingdom, from lanes End to John o' Groats. (Hear, hear.) And then, if they spent 12,000,000/. in fortifying Dover and other please, was it likely that an enemy would land his forces before the very muscles of our guns' Reminding the house that the committee reported in June last year that the sum required for the works they suggested was trilliug as com pared with the great objects which were to be attained, ho asked them on the ground of the saving of property, but above all on the ground of mercy, to support his resolution, which he concluded by proposing. Mr. PARKER, in seconding the resolution, said he entirely concurred with the royal commissioners when in their report they described this question as one of a truly nat -- opal character. Mr. BAXTER hoped the government were not . p to give • hasty assent to the motion, involving as it re tri d n expenditure, according to the cornmiodoners, of 2,365,0001., but in the judgment of men competent to form an opinion on the subject, an expenditure greatlylexceeding, if not double, that sum. There were in their report some re commendations in which he could concur, but as he believed the amount of expenditure they proposed seas quite urns- O he would move, as an amendment, the previous question. Mr. DOD6ON seconded the amendment, because he the proposals advocated by the hon. member for were vary inopportune ; and they came at a most unfortunate time, when we had • prospect of being called upon for so large an expenditure for the national de fences. Captain TALBOT, u a naval officer, and representing a maritime county, eonlially supported the resolution of the hon. member for Sunderland. Sir H. VERNEY said he was sure those who heard the statement of the bon. member for Sunderland must have seen that members from all parts of the country took such an interest in this subject that government was called upon to take some steps in the matter, and no longer to allow our brave seamen, who were really the marrow and strength of the country, to be exposed to dangers which were preventible. Mr. 13RECROFT said this country never grudged money for works of necessity and mercy ; but it did grudge money for works that were not needed. He should combally vote for the motion. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR expressed his extreme surprise at the opposition raised by the hon. member for Sane: sad the hon. member for Montrose. Mr. TAYLOR could testify from experience the necessity of a harbour on the northeast coast. He thought the house bound to protect our poor seamen, of whom we had not too many to spare--(hear, hear)—in every way, and espe cially by the promotion of harbours of refuge. Mr. KENDALL quoted evidence to show the advantages that would result from the construction of a harbour of refuge at Psdatow, which he said would require a contri bution of only 40,000 f. from the government. The loss of ships and lives ou the emit of Cornwall was — BIT - A. SMITH denied that the list of wrecks and lives lost formed any conclusive proof of the necessity for harbours of refuge. Out of 1,450 wrecks last year, 350 had been collisions, end a great portion of the remainder occurred in fine weather, through negligence, or under circumstances in which harbours of refuge would have been of no service. The government were already building useful harbours—such as Portland and Holyhead—in which whole &eta took shelter. With respect to the question of expense, he feared that the calculations of the commission were illusory, and that the sum named would go only • short way in carrying out the scheme proposed. The northeast coast of England certainly required a harbour of refuge, but that might be constructed by convict labour, which would be much better thus disposed of than if sent to the hulks at Bermuda. Ho should vote against the motion of the hon. member for Sunderland, because by supporting it he should bind him self to all the details of the report, from many of which he totally dissected. With these views he felt bound to support the amendment. Sir J. PAHINGTON concurred with the hon. member for Sunderland in thinking that her Majesty's government bad never seriously entertained this question. He (Sir J. Pakington) had waited patiently to hear a member of the govenunent express his opinion, but tiny elf sat silent how the pack ran, deteradasd to accede to the motion if the hams was too strong for than, bat to throw it over if pcedble. He trust the government would not mock the house by talking about Amnon after their conduct this year in throwing money away. The mosey they bad thrown away over and over wok would .may have provided for this motional sod most necessary expen diture. U the did not coincide with the motion, he his hoc. friend would go to a division, sad be (Sir J. • ) should certainly vote with him. Mr. M. GIBSON said the right boa. baronet who had hut addressed than had fallen into an error in charging the government with buliffsreace to the importance of the quads& The government, in considirbi all thit had fe Ifialeoll to it and the expectations raised by the it thek of the Muss sad the report of the essassimion, bad duty Is give their attention to the subject, sad to IMMISSVOUr to provide • shouras, it sat to carry oat the whet, cd the rocommiladations at the ossimnision, at any mils that shield make • cesnmsacessiont, and carry thaws reesmuussidedions isat to • oriole extent. Bat the right boa. haromet bad to coeditor sow. not merely the =isquestion of the advantage of haring of refuge on parts of the coast wilieh were at prowl deficient in shelter for shipping, but the propriety of their placing this particular resolution on the nilnutai with a view to guide the future decision' of the bows. (Maar, hers.) The right hon. gentleman bad ester. hated co the grostimils which had arisen from the atoms of harbours of re ; sad he mentioned two p a rtic u l ar la staaos•—tbe Siilse to the Bristol Channel, and the Norfolk oast—hunt V the sight has. henna bassi blogelf by the report of the commission, he would obtain no assist ance, because the Humbles scheme was rejected by the commissioners, and there was no recommendation for a harbour of refuse on that part of the coast. (Hear, hear.) It might be well to pass an abstract resolution in order to indicate that it was neocesary to do something on this ques tion; but by passing the present resolution they would do more than that, they would bind themselves to bring in at the earliest opportunity measures to give effect to the precise recommendations of the commission. (No, no.) He could not understand the words of the resolution to we al any other meaning, for they were " to carry into effect the recommendations of the commissioner appointed in 1858 to inquire into the formation of harbours of refuge." By agreeing to the resolution they world also prejudge • great number of separate question; each of great import ance, and one of them being the manner in which the funds for the support of these harbours were to be provided. (Hear.) The hon. member for Sunderland laid some stress on the fact that harmony prevailed between the committee of that house and the commission, but there wee not harmony between them on that m a teri a l p o i n t, name ly, the source from which the funds were to be obtained. Whilst the commissioners recommended that a large portion of the money should be derived from state grants, increased by)acis from the places whereltheharbours were!sitnated, the committee on the other hand recommended that three fourths of it should be levied on shipping by a passing toll, on the principle that those who derived benefit from the harbours should contribute to their construction and maintenance. (Hear, hear.) That was • very important difference, and they should not prejudge • question of this nature by passing • general resolution pledging themselves to carry out all the recommendations of the commissioners. The Board of Trade were not authorised to take on them selves the preparation of • great scheme, such as that re commended by the commissioners, involving large grants of public money. That must be a matter for mature consi deration, and the state of public business in the present session, and the number of measures brought forward, would have prevented the house deliberating fully upon it, even if it had been submitted to its consideration ; but they had prepared a measure for the puma* of improving existing harbours, erecting piers, and carrying out those other objects which the hon. member for Poole told them were considered in many parts of the country most important. The improvement pf existing harbours , which were the seats of trade must have • great effect in saving life, for, from the wrecks' chart, it would be found that most shipwrecks took place in the immediate neighbour. hood of ports which were much frequented by shipping. Numbers of vessels naturally converged to a point opposite existing tidal harbour. in the north, and it was of the utmost importance that each facilities should be afforded to them to enter those harbours as that they might be saved from the dangers of a lee shore. (Hear, hear.) The bill which he would introduce would have an important bearing upon that point, and would enable the managers of existing harbours to obtain money in the manner indi cated by the hon. member for Poole. He hoped this would show that the government were in earnest—(hear, hear)—but it was not in his power to command the time of the house, or to say whether the measure could be car ried during the present session. He merely mentioned the fact of their having prepared a measure in order to rebut the charge that they had not considered this important sub bect, and to show that the house might expect that it would dealt with by the government. (Hear.) Sir F. SMITH, as • member of the commission , supported the resolution of the hon. member for Sunderland. Mr. LIDDELL said he was much disappointed with the &newer given by the government on thu subject, which, having been so many years before the country, demanded • satisfactory settlement. Sir J. JOHNSTONE supported the motion. He said Mr. Gibson had stated that if there were • barbourof refuge at Finley there might be a saving of five lives in the course of the year. He did not know bow the right hon. gentle man arrived at that opinion, but he thought no one who knew that part of the coast would support him in it. Two harbours of refuge ought to be formed, one to the north, and another to the south of Fliunborough Head. Mr. PAULL said he had never heard a speech which would be received by the country with more dissatisfaction than that of Mr. G ib son. He trusted the hon. gentleman would press forward his motion ; and whatever the govern ment might do, the house would support the recommenda tion of the commission. Sir S. M. PETO trusted the government would yet spare the house the necessity of dividing on this question. There was no necessity that the government should be hurried is carrying out the works. A reference had been made to night to Holyhead, and to the estimate being so much ex ceeded. Why was that? It was because the plans were altered several times. When his duties called him to that part of the country during the construction of that harbour, he generally found that they were working on a plan dif ferent from that which they were working on when he was there before. There was no necessity for works of this kind exceeding the estimate. What there was to do was generally to carry put so many cubic yards of stone into the sea, and a practical man could easily calculate what the coat would be, and, if the works were let on • forfeit contract, there would be no difficulty in getting the works executed for the sum mentioned in the contract. He could only say, as the representative of a portion of the metropolis, that his constituents would feel great pleasure in having this question settled. They would bear taxation for works of this character, but the taxation they were unwilling to bear was that for which they got no value. The other night there was a proposition to make • map on • 25-inch scale which would ccet a million, and there was &disposition to incur the expenditure, but there was an indispoeition to incur an expenditure of a quarter of a million a.year for ten yam for work,' of much more value. He should feel very great pleasure in voting for this motion, and he trusted that the house would not hesitate to affirm it ; but, as a sincere supporter of the government, he trusted that they would not put the house to the necessity of carrying the motion against them. Mr. ItIINTINCE condemned severely the expenditure upon the works at Dover and Alderney, upon which, he said, more money had been wasted than would have sufficed to construct several harbours of refuge. Alter Kate remarks by Mr. Btsrth and Sir J. ELPHLI groin in support of the resolution, Lord PALMERSTON said the government were con vinced of the vast importance of the matter under con sideration, and of the absolute necessity of taking some measures for providing places of refuge on the coast, and if they objected to the motion it was because it pledged the house and the government to adopt blindfold the recommendation of the commissiocers, although there were great diversities of opinion as to the localities of the differ ent harbours. Mr. Gibson had stated that the government had • measure prepared for the commencement of operations, and be hoped the house would not commit itself to so sweeping • resolution. Mr. LINDSAY made a brief reply, with reference to which The CHANCELLLOR of the EXCHEQUER milled attentidn to the motion as it stood upon the paper, upon which the reply had, he said, put an incorrect gloss. The house then divided— For Mr. Lindsay's motion Against it The motion was than woad to. DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. . . . . Mr. DUFF moved for a select committee to inquire into the present condition of the diplomatic service, and the best means at increasing its efficiency. He thought it would be for the advantage of the public sorvice if every year at least one unpaid attache ship were thrown open to public competition, but he felt that every candidate should be convenant with international law. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think that any reason bad been shown for the appointment of the committee. He believed that it would produce little or no result. The go vernment was always ready to improve the diplomatic service in any way in which it could be done. There was not much competition for the employment of attaches; they had , ,to live at their own expense, and pay their own expenses out and home again ; so that there was not much scope for a competitive examination. If the gentlemen so employed gained the confidence of the courts where they were sent that was enough. The question of the Persian mission was hardly a subject for enquiry by a com mittee ; they might decide it either way without being far wrong. On questions relating to Russia, the mi nister at Persia might consult the Foreign-office; those affecting India he would refer to the Indian governinasit. He thought the motion unnecessary, and recommended the house not to asggrreeee to it. Mr. AL MILNES said that the question was an important one ; but looking at the advanced period of the session, he saw no advantage to be gained from the appointment of a select committee. Upon the whole, our diplomatic service was as good as that of any other country ; but he should be glad to see the system of unpaid attaches abolished. Mr. KINNAIRD recommended the withdrawal of the motion. Mr. GRANT DUFF then withdrew the motion, but said be should take the earliest opportunity of bringing it on next session. MARINE STORE DEALERS. mr. sPooNTlWio,;(floiTe;v;;;;:iT g fil a bill to regd. late the business of marine-store dealer,. The SPEAKER said that aa it was a bill relating to trade it must be moved for in a committee of the whole house. The house then went into committee, and the nwlut~on wee pawed, and leave given to Mr. Spooner and Mr. Soholn field to bring in the bill. WINE LICENSES IN IRELAND. )I[r. DEAAY , in the absence of the of the Ex chequer, moved that the resolution of the home in com mittee ea the 15th of May be read, and that leave be given to being in a bill to grant to her Majesty certain duties on wins licenses and refreshment bonsai hi Ireland, and for the regulation of the licensing of refreshment houses in Ireland. Mr. bIENNESSY mid the Chancellor of the Exchequer had told the house that his bill would not extend to he lms% and be himself had receivedroany letters written un ite that impression. This resolution. therefore, came on him surprise in a thin house, at half-past twelve o'clock at ni ght, and he hoped it would not then be pressed. He moved the adjournment of the debate. Bir. G. C. LEWIS said that when the English Wine Lamas Bill was under diectindoe, the government were mined to extend it to Irehaid, and an amendment was inns moved with that view ; but it was pointed out that the ma was so }noised by the act. which it cited as to be taappaitable to Ireland, and then his right hon. friend the Cheney for of the Exchequer promised that on an earl day he would ustrodace a bill extending its provisional to Irelan& That promise wee now fulfilled, and it would be an UDOOUIII and inconvenient course to oppose a mere forum) resolution kw leave to bring in the bill and to prevent A front being laid on the table of the house. The bill should be laid on the table that members inigit see what were its provisions, and then if they thought it objectionable the second reading would be the proper oppottunity for opposing it. The motion was negatived without a division, and leave was given to bring in the bill. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEITIL . . . Mr. LOWE moved fora forselect committee to inquire and report what buildings are necessary for the South Ken. aington Museum. He said that the national collection of rcieuce and art which was originally deposited at Somerset House had been removed to Marlborough House, and sub sequently to South Kensington, to the building commonly known as the "boilers.' The buildings unfortunately required considerable repairs ; they admitted the rain, paddles of water were to be seen here and there, and the statues he found the other day veiled in • most lugubrious manner. Some money had been spent oo these arrange ments—(hear, hear)--amonget other sums 15,0001. had been spent on one occasion ; 10,0001. at another time on the re moval of the Vernon sad Turner collections, which how ever were not strictly part of the science and art collections. But the outlay had been conducted with no system or regokrity ; and he proposed this committee in order to consider the whole question, and decide whether the collections should remain at Kensington or not. Mr. J. LOCKE said that the terms of the motion seemed to imply that further buildings at Kensington were in contemplation. Of all the disgraceful jobs which the house had witnessed, he thought the worst had been con centrated to a small extent in the South Kensington Mu seum. He wished the right honourable gentleman had worded the motion in such a way as that this miserable building might be removed altogether. If the right hon. gentleman would alter his motion so that the committee should have power to inquire and report what was to be done with the South Kensington Museum, then he thought the house might agree to the motion. Mr. DILLWYN observed that there was already a com mittee sitting to consider what was to be done with the col lection at the British Museum, and be suggested that this matter should be referred to that committee. The hour was too late to enter into • discussion at this time of night, and he moved that the debate be adjourned. Sir G. C. LEWIS apprehended that the result of re ferring this matter to the Committee on the British Museum would be that there would be no report this session. Moreover, it should be remembered that the British Museum was under the government of a separate body of trustees. CONINGHAM said this was practically a motion for the granting of more money for the enlarge ment of the building. That this museum and the British Museum were different establishments was evident from the fact that persons in the employment of each were to be seen competing with each other in auction rooms in London, for objects to be placed in the respective collections. He sh ould oppose this motion, but he should like to see a committee anointed to inquire into the management of the South Kensington Museum, as from what he was informed he believed that • greater system of jobbery had never been known than that which would be brought to light concern ing this museum. Mr. BLACKBURN thought there should be an inquiry whether this museum might not be amalgamated with the National Gallery. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M'CANN bad satisfied himself that the School of Art was doing • great deal of good, and supported the motion for • committee. Mr. HANKEY could not understand what was the ob ject of the inquiry. He considered that the public pictures ought to form one collection. Sir G. LEWIf3 said the Sheepshanks pictures were left to the nation on the express stipulation that they should be exhibited at Kensington. There was no objection to the motion being altered so ea to make it • general inquiry into the Museum. (Hear.) Mr. KINNAIRD said that he was serving en &commit tee before which it had been proved that there was no public institution in the country that was visited by so many persons ; and the reason was that it was open in the . . . Mr. - IYRTON hoped the terms of the resolution wculd be made as wide as possible. The motion as amended by Sir G. Lewis was then to. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT This bill WM read a second time.

At the opening of the court the Lord Chief Justice an nounced that it was intended on Saturday next that the Courts of Common Law should follow the example set by the Courts of Chancery, and keep the day as a holiday, in order that every facility should be afforded for carrying out the important object of the day, the inspection of the volunteers by her lhjesty. The list of causes pending in that court wsa undoubtedly very heavy, bat at the same time the importance of the duties to be perfomied else where on Saturday rendered it advisable that there should be • holiday. The Solicitor-General said the gentlemen of the bar were quite of accord with his lordship as to the desirability of the propceed arrangement. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Jaws 19.

The Lord Chief Justice said he had just heard that the Courts of Queen's Bench and Exchequer would not sit on Saturday in consequence of the volunteer review, but he waa of opinion that if any suitor required his services on &tar. day it was his duty to be in court, sad he should therefore be ready to take the case on Saturday.

SPURGES (PROVIBIONAL ASSIGN/4 JUDOMINT. Mr. Justice Wightman delivered judgment in this case, which was argued yesterday. They were of opinion that the judgment of the Court of Exchequer must bo affirmed. The court had determined, on an equitable construction of the statute 23 James 1., that if an action should be commenced within the time limited, but suspended, yet if afterwards a second action should be brought, that should be deemed a revival of the first. The question in this case involved the construction of the 3 and 4 William IV., esp. 42, limiting the time for bringing actions on bonds, and it was but reasonable that the same equitable construction should be put on both statutes. The defendant in error was therefore entitled to judgment. Judgment affirmed. THE MARQUIS OF BELIEBVIIT V. OADSTONZ.—JUDGMENT. In this case the court—without calling upon Mr. Ed ward, who appeared for the defendant—gave judgment. The question raised by • bill of exceptions wee, whether the learned judge at the trial was right in telling the jury they Inuit take into consideration the custom of the country in digging clay on • oopyhold manor for conversion into bricks. Their lordships *ere of opinion that the defendant was entitled to judgment. Judgment accordingly. The court will sit to-morrow (this day), and take Exchequer errors. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Frederick WilliaTotEo;e:ci4,;ras brought up for further exazninatigh on a charge of haring, on the 7th of March Let, forged and uttered a cheque for 3841., with intent to defraud the London Joint Stock Bank, Princes street. As shown on a previous examination, the prisoner had for some years lived as porter in the service of Messrs. Nesbitt, at 149, Upper Thames-street, skin brokers, and was in the daily habit during that period of getting their cheques cashed at the London Joint Stock Bank, where they had an account. Taking advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him of familiarising himself with the signature of the firm, he forged a cheque for 3847., for which he obtained cash over the counter on the 17th March, and then absconded, but was apprehended last week with SOL still in his possession. Some other evidence having been now given to prove the forgery Whiechsr, police constable 50, was examined, and said — I apprehended the prisoner about a quarter...past 11 on the night of the 10th inst. at Messrs. Nesbitt 's plain, 149, Upper Thames-street. He was drank at the time. I told him he meet oorne with me to the statiou. He ask: he wished to speak to Mr. Nesbitt, but that gentleman, who gave him ia charge for the forgery, mid, " I have notkmg to de eith it. Tam have got drunk, sod have num Into the lion's mouth." 1 than toole,lhe prisoner to the station. where I found on him a gold 'fat& and a, poza, containing 31. se. 41d. f afterwanis wont back to 149, Upper Thames-street, where I saw his wife, who gave up to me 45 sovereigniratal seven 61. Bank of E n gland notes, a =with six chambers, three of which were loaded, som e and some cepa Next morning I was at Bow-lane station, when Spittle, detective, was in cooversation with the pri. loner, and I heard Spittle ask him how he managed to ge t rid of go much money. He said it was not much, as it had cost him 30/. for his passage to America and back, and he had given 1507. to one of the Meagre. Nesbitt. I believe he said William, but lam not positive. Spittle asked him if he was speaking the truth, and he replied, " Yes ; but have nothing to show for it." The prisoner, when asked what be bad to say to the charge, replied, "It is an error with regard to my state. went about the 1501. although I did pay away 1501. and am guilty of forging the cheque." He was fully committed for trial. Margaret Man d 4, a shabbily attired woman, described as a tailoress, was charged with stealing a diamond ring, value 151., from the fi nger of Walter Doran, a tailor, residing ut 8, New-square, Minoriea., at the Blue Boar public-house, Sparrow-corner. Mel After hearing the evidence, Mr. Alderman Hale said it was quite clear that the prosecutor was too drunk to know what he was about, and advised him never to get in such a state spin. It was evident that he had given his money to the prisoner and other women, and as to the ring, there was nothing whatever to implicate the prisoner, who rou s t therefore be discharged. MARKETS. WOOLLEN.—Liens, JUlrt 19.—N0 feature of import. awe was presented in the market this morning. There only an indifferent attendance in the halls, and about an average business took place, mostly M.breaticloths and hem y goods. 001TON.—LrrnarooL, Js 19.—There has been more demand for cotton to-day without change in prices. The sake are 10,000 bake—including 5,100 American, at 4id. to Sid.; 1,500 Surat, 2K to 44d.; 100 Egyptian, Bd. to 1 ; 100 Perusm, 70. to 8d- ;50 Bahia, 74 - & - ; 150 Maranham, Ip. to Ad.—of which 4,000 are for speculation and export. The week's import is 19,048 bales. 00/TON GOODS.—bancnrans, Jolts 19.—1 n yarns there has been rather mere badness to-day—in fact a fair business, and prices for most counts of twist are d. pet lb. dearer, though there are some exceptions, in which the rates of last week have undergone no improvement. There has been no considerable business for any one market, but buyers for India, Germany, and for the home trade have all made some purchases. There has been more business for all markets in counts up to 40's, but in the finer numbers no change is reported for any market either as to business or prices. In cloths there las been no change in prices, but there has been a few small transactions for India, and buyers have shown a disposition to operate in consequence of manufacturers being willing to take the rates of last week more freely. This disposition may be considered as some. what modified by a telegram from Calcutta to the 24th May, bringing accounts of prices furtberdepressed in that market, with • lower rate of exchange by Ij per cent. In long cloths and T cloths there is still some business doing, and while prices are not higher there has been no further de pression in them. MANUFACTITRVI—HUDDICItaTIELD, JUNE 19. The attendance of buyers bas been rather better to-day, but their purchases are not extensive, and more caution is shown in their transactions, particularly light fancy goods, the trade in which is decidedly flatter. A fair business, however, in black and steel doeskins continues. WOOLS.—HUDDZILSPULD, Jure 19.—C/olonial wools Lave moved off very steadily since last sales at a profit on pion then established, but the demand to-day is much slacker. There is also a good stock of Germans in tho market, but they do not sell readily. OOltN.—Hor r, Joan 19.—Arrivals of wheat are again small, but fair of barley, oats, and peas, and only moderate of other grain. The weather during the week has been dull and cloudy, with occasional showers, but on the whole more favourable than of late, still it is far from seasonable, and vegetation keeps backward ; on forward soils a wheat ear may be found, but with bright sunny weather the plant will not generally be shot until the end of the present month, being about fourteen days later than the average of seasons. To-day we had a fair supply of Engliah wheat, which sold slowly at about last week's rates. Foreign held above the ideas of buyers, and business limited. Barley moves off more freely at fully late currency. Beans and peas in steady request at former prices. Oats quiet, but not obtainable at any quotable reduction in value. The foreign importa last week are as under :—Whest, 2,937 qrs.; barley, 8,830; oat*, 7,425 ; beans, 369 ; peas, 3,843; tares; 245 ; linseed and rapeseed, 4,829 ; oil cakes, 257 tons ; bones, 474 tons. LEED:4, JUNE 19.—With moderate supplies of wheat the trade is very quiet, but there is not the slightest disposition evinced to submit to lower rates ; indeed oar millers seem more inclined to take advantage of the momentary lull. We quote prices same as last week. Barley unaltered. Beans held at late rates. Oats and other articles as before. We have had tolerable weather since Friday, but cool for the Reason of the year. LTICN, JUNE 19.—We have had a continuance of un settled weather. To-day is fine with a higher temperature. At our Corn Eschange this day we had a moderate supply of wheat; the trade ruled quiet at ls. per qr. reduction. Beans and oats, prices firm ; grinding barley in good request , at last week's rates. Wheat, white, old, 611bs. to 631b5., 555. to 625.; ditto, new, roibs. to 621b5., Ms. to 605.; ditto, red, old,6llbs. to 6: Übe., 535. to 565. ; ditto, new, 59165. to 6111 w., 325. to 575. Barley, Chevalier new, 521 b. to 54163., 395. to 45a. ; ditto, common. 511ba. to 5211 w., 301. to 30. Beans, old, 651bs. to Willis., 455. to 4Rs. ; ditto, new, 641bs. to 66165., 422. to 465. per qr. to the growers. NrwcArns., JC:CE 12.-11 to weather has been dry since Saturday, but the temperature continues low for the sea son. At oar market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, and having several arrivals from abroad the trade, owing to the more subdued report from Mark-lane, ruled quietly, and only a moderate busi ness resulted, the only sale of importance being of a cezgo of old Stettin red, with partial sprout, at 55e. 6d. per 50llbs. 595. at the same time being refused for • cargo of new Sc otch yellow. In flour or other articles we have little variation to note. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH. Alice Thompson, from Colombo for London. May IT, lat. 28 N. ion. 39 W. Dawstone, May 16, lat. 5 N., lon. 24 W.
