Dr. t. brought forward a motion of which be had given notioe, that his grace the president should be re quested to direct the appointment of a joint committee of both houses, to consider whether any and what means may be devised to promote the adequate endowment of the numerous incumbents fur whom a competent maintenance was not provided. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. Dr. MASNING BEIM and carrier,. MARRIAGi WITH A DECEASED WIER'S SISTER. The Rev. Canon WoRbsWORTII brought forward the fol lowing moven :—" That this house deprecates the changes recently proposed in the law of marriage as to the degrees of kinilred and affinity, especially that alteration which would enable a men to marry his deceased wife's sister, end that this house dutifully requests their lordships in the Upper House to exert their best endeavours to avert such changes in this respect as would bring the statute law of the land into collision with the law of the church, to which the clera are bound to conform ; sod this hones earnestly hopes that in rose any_ proposal for such alterations should be brought into the House of Peer; their lordships, the bkhops of the church, will think fit to give it their strenu. ous opposition in their place in parliament.

The funds to-day are supported at the closing quotations of yesterday, although business is I exceedingly limited, as may be inferred from the fact that not a single transaction is officially reoorded in Consols for the account. Monday's packet from America is looked for with extreme interest. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange there is no movement of importance. English railway stocks, in two or three instances, are rather lower. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 08fr. 27c., being fractionally lower than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 92/ and 911, for money. The present quotations are 911 to 92 for money, and 92k to for the 10th of April. The official business re port is as follows:—lndia Five per Cent. Stook, 1001, I ; ditto Scrip, 1001 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 95/ ; Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 941, 94 ; ditto Five-and-a- Half per Cent., 100/, ; Exchequer Bills (June), 6a., is., clis. ; ditto, March, 25., prem. The Turkish Loan of 1864 shows a fresh im provement of f per cent., being quoted 74 to I. The loan of 1858 is firm, at 541 to I, ex div., after being marked 541. Mexican Bonds arc lower, the last sales having been at 24}. Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 100* ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 241, ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, '47, 461 ; ditto for account, 44 ; Russian Five per Cents., 101 f, ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 90} ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 821, 82; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 49} ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 411; the Committee's Certificates, 51 ; Turkish Biz per Cents., 1864, 731, ; ditto for account, 73 ; ditto Six per Ceuta., 1858, for account, 54k, f, 1, ex div. ; ditto 1001. bonds, 56. The steamer La Plata has arrived from the West Indies, with 281,0001. in specie. The Africa has taken to-day 83,8461. in specie for New York. HALF-PAST Two o'CLocc. Consols show no change of importance, com pared with the prices current at 2 o'clock, being quoted 92 for money, and 92/ to for the account. There is a growing impression that should the accounts from America be even moderately favour able, the Bank of England rate of discount will be lowered to 7 per cent. on next Thursday. The discount market yesterday was easier, the sup ply of money having increased, although a good de mand was experienced both at the Bank and in Lombard-street. The best bills were discounted at 7to n per cent. in many quarters, and three months' paper was preferred to short. In the Stock Exchange there was a better supply yesterday of money at ti to si per S cent. on Govern ment securities. 45,000/. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. It is conjectured that the Cunard packet to day will take about 150,000/. in specie for the United States. With the easier condition of the money market, the Continental exchanges, which hitherto have been extremely strong, presented yesterday after noon indications of a relapse. Subjoined is our usual list : 3 months, 12.1 to ; ditto 3 days, 11.19 to 12.00; So 3 months, 12.14 to ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.65 to 70 ; Hamburg, ma. banco ' 3 months, 13.9 t to 14; Paris, 3 days, 25.40 to 5 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.72* to 7i ; Prauldort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 119 i to I ; Petersburg (par roable4, 3 mouths, 334 so 4 ; Vienna, MY. do., 3 mouths, 15.45 to 60 ; Trieste, ett. do., 3 months, 15.45 to 50; Madrid,, 3 months, 48/ to d ; Cadiz, 3 months, 481 to • to a fe h r litil m an on , tot: 15. 25 871 5 t ; o a 9rii 3 a m pl o es, nt tn " ona l , 39 to ; ; Palermo, 3 months, 117 to ; Messina, 3 months, 64 te 117 to ; Lisbon, 90 days, tai to I ; Oporto, 90 days, 53. A heavy amount of Greek bills fell due yesterday, but were well met. The credit of this interest is improying, now that it is placed beyond doubt that provision has been made for all the Constantinople bills drawn on M. Mires. The arrangement was finally concluded at Paris on Thursday. A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of Mr. H. Tolkien, pianoforte-maker, &c., who re cently failed. Messrs. Cooper Bro thers and Co., the accountants, estimate the liabilities at 8,3351., and the net assets at 4,0891. It was resolved to accept a composition of 10s. in the pound, payable in twenty-two months. The Calcutta, China, and Australian mails, lAA Marseilles, will be distributed in London on Monday morning. Shareholders in the Red Sea Telegraph Company will be glad to learn that, the bill having passed the third reading iu the House of Commons on Thursday night, the warrants for the overdue interest were being prepared for tho poet last evening. _ . The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 7751. Au extraordinary general meeting of the Metro politanCoosumers Coal Company was held on Thurs day. Mr. George Potts, M.P., the chairman of the company, presided. The advertisement con vening the meeting having been read, the chairman said that its objects were to confirm a series of special resolutions which had been prepared in the place of articles of association for the government of the company, and passed at the last general meeting. The resolutions having been read by Mr. Monckton, the company's solicitor, their con firmation was unanimously carried. The following alarmist paragraph from the New York Ileralai was apparent yl considered of sufficient importance to be posted up at Lloyd's yesterday: Parwornango.—Fatract from the Non York Herald of March 2, 1861 :—lnformation received to-clay from Mont gomery indicates that the Congress will regard any attempt on the part of the United States to maintain its authority in the confederate states as en act of war, which will be • followed by instantaneous reprisal. The collection of the revenue and the retention of the forte it would take as an attempt to hold them in subjugation. The militia of the sees will be invoked at once in the event of blockade. Be tween 50 and 100 privateers are in readiness for the ocean, and will commence operations at a mo ment's warning. It is not improbable that the first victims of this retaliatory policy may be the Cali fornia gold ships and the Atlantic steamers. There are over 300 ports between the Capes of Virk,inia and the Brazes, into which they could be carried with safety. The New Emptied shipping interest in understood to be clamorous against coercion. Leading business men here declare that Boston alone could furnish privateers sufficient to ruin New England commerce. It will be remembered that, at the celebration of the Paris International Conference, when the leading European powers did away with privateering, the United States protested warmly against is, and refused to surrender its right to call out the " militia of the seas." The revolted states now propose to use for self-defence what the Federal government deemed essential to its own national safety and protection.

By the will, Mr. Hepworth Dixon was left her literary executor, with full powers to publi.h any or all 1111 her ladyship's journal. and correspondence. A question, however, arose as to whether the bequest conveyed to Mr. Dixon the sole sad absolute property in these journals and correpori donor, or only the power of publication. Sir W. Page Wood has decided that Mr. Dixoo's property in the papers is sole end absolute, and the masses of her lady ship's correspondence with eminent poisons, together with all her diaries and note-books, have been delivered over to that gentleman. Such portions of her Autobiography as Lady Morgan left nearly ready for the press may now be given the world. _ This' evening the first reception of the President of the Royal Roefety will take piece.

Thu illustrated London News says Were not Humboldt, Caviar, Laney, Cmeiesrt,all made peen by their grateful sovereign? Why should Dot &ejsmia Brodie sit among the Lords ? Why should not itiobaiil Famday, who has already, we believe, refused a baronetcy ? Alas, the worst of these houours—were they ems offered and accepted —is that they come too late ; and the answer that rises to the lips of him who is tempted with honours long de ferred must be the old, old response of Johnson to Chester. field : ' The notice you have been pleased to take of my labours, had it been early, had been kind ; but it has been delayed till I am indifferent, and censot enjoy it—till I am solitary, and moot impart it—till I am known, and do not want it.'

EN4A VA AND REVIEW& —As the church has declined to pass any authoritative opinion on them, they will now be weighed at the her of public opinion according to their merits or demerita. This is the more to beregretteck as it is too much the fashion of the preseat day to discuss and call in question every doctrine in turn. We should he glad if some steps could be taken towards putting down this ueliniited private judgment, of which the " Frays and Reviews" are, after all, hut a fractional result. The etiological views of the en-called Evangelical school, on the Sacramenta, are just as " repugnant to the natural meaning of our formularies, and inconsistent with the teaching of the Church of England," as anything to be found in the &rya"— Union.
