AGRICULTURAL GANGS. The Earl at SHAFTESBURY rose to move that ea bumble address be presented to her Majesty to request that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to direct that the counneries appolatedia answer to an &darer of this housece the 18th of Pebraary, 1962, to inquire into the appointment of &Una and young persoos In trades and manufactures not shady regulated by law, should haled, in its inquiries children sad young pawn, employed in awe parts of the mushy under an organised system known as t at of ItTituiturti gangs The Bishop of LINCOLN expressed a hop. that their lordship' would accede to the motion of the noble sea He had received communications from the clergymen with rh foresee to the oortheestera portious of his dioceekekkh wanly bore out the 'enemata of the noble eel. He was aware that the *airy was cot to embrace female Labour in pineal, but the two branches of the subject were inn anatelpat oxected. Parents who had bean brought up to wore sot only unfitted, but they were indisposed for demonic duties. Once having head what they called the sweets of liberty, they preferred field to house work. Hie correspoodeuts had informed him that the gang system bad the most demoralisieffct upon the youth of both ease, and fostered th m os t vicious habits amongst them. He trusted that the attention which the noble earl had directed to the subject would have the effect of putting a stop to the evil, sod if so his lordship would add another to the many claims he possessed on the gratitude of the country. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of HAB.ROWBY inquired what parishes the right rev. palate had spoken of. lb The Bishop of LINCOLN replied that he referred to the Werth-eastern portion at his diocese, and more particularly to the Fea district. After • few words from Lord Beams, Earl GRANVILLE said that although he had heard of cases in which the gang system when carried oa under proper repletion' was of edvantage to boys, he did not thick on the whole that it ought to be ewoursged. He therefore weenned in the propriety of the inquiry. The motion was them agreed to. THE REV. MR. WAGNER IND THE The Marquis of WESTMEATH 'squired if the public rt. port of promeediep in the magistrate, court at Trowbridge, as held co Thursday, the 4th of May, was authentic, whereby it would appear that the Rev. A. D. Wigwag described as perpetual curate of St. Paul's, Brightea, was a witness before that court when • ponw was under examination on • charge of murder, and that to a question made by the went, with six magistrates Mani, the said A. D. Wiper declined answering a question per tinent to the ease, damn that what he haw was seder the Neel of oonfamion ; also whether web an outage to the court, totally unknown to the laws of this errantry, should have been paled no over ; she whether the said A.D. Wager should net be made amenable for the mine :led whether the magistrates should not have thereupon committed him. The noble marquis said that although the facts of this caw were well known to the public, he thought it right to in. quire from the Lord Chancellor, the highest legal authority is the realm, whether any witness, whether a clergyman or not, was justified is refugees to answer a question legally put to him as the plea that he received his infer melon in coafeenea. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had read the notice of the noble marquis. As to the find mastics. it was quite beyond his power to swim it, as haled little time to read the werspapers. With regard to the remaining question or questions—for whether there were ea* or more he could not well make out—(a laugh)—he must emirate late the noble marquis cm the industry with which he en deavoured to make himself acquainted with the law of England on this abject. (A laugh.) The sable marquis had enquired • knowledge of the questioa which rendered it wholly uneetemery for him to make such an inquiry of the Lord Chancellor, and he had pro duced a greater profusion of authorities than it was in the power of the Lord Chastener to furnish. There could be no doubt that is a suite • criminal proceeding • of the church of Beggared was not privileged to=ar a to waver a question legally put to him, on the posa that wie.h wearer would reveal somethiog which had been aide known to him through confession. He was compelled to answer every such gonna, sad the law of Eoglaud did not even allow a privilege of the kind to be extended to Roman catholic dery men who obtained the information in the confessional from persona of their own perwasiom There could be no doubt that Mr. Waiver was under an obligation to have answered the question put to him if it bad bees iodated upon. It was certainly matter of regret that the magistrates did not insist on the question being answered, be use, though there could be so doubt on the matter, the fact of the magistrates not insist ing on an answer being given was calculated to lead to the impression that a privilege of this kind did exist. It ap pared, however, that the order for the commitaisot of the prisoner, Mime Kent, had been made out, and therefore there was no failure of justice. Under thew circumstances be did not think a woemary to take thy further Donee of the prooeed Lord CHELMSFORD said that as he understood the cue Mr. Wagner appearedvoluntarily with Miss Kent before the magistrates, end it was rather extraordinary under those circumstances that he should have refused to answer the questions put to him. But it appeared to him that the msgis nate" had no power to enforce an answer from the witness. Under the Justin' of the Peace Act, if a magistrate bad raffia to believe that& Maas would not voluntarily attend before him to give evidence, he might inns a summons to compel him, and if that summons failed to secure bin attendance, the magistrate might issue a warrant to email his attendance as a witness. But the words of the art were extraordinary with regard to a witness refusing to answer. Tbe act then mid if a witness so summoned or brought before the magistrate upon warrant refused either to be sworn, orb affirm, or, having been sworn, refused to miner any question pu t him, then the magistrate might commit him and seed him to prison far seven days, there to remain unless in the mean time he consented so answer the question. Therefore it appeared that under the eireurutance• of a voluntary attendance like that of Mr. Wagner, the mosiltrate had no power to commit He thought it right to mention that the magistrates had no power to act as he thought they ought to have acted supposing that Mr. Wagner had been bronot before them by warrant. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought he bad seen is one of the morning newspaper' a letter, in which Mr. Wagner was made to say that he had received a subpoena to attend the court. Lord CHELMSFORD read Enaction of the act to which be bad referred. After a few words from the Earl of HAEROWBY, Lord CHELMSFORD mid be would add his expression of regret that the magistrate had not committed Mr. Wagner. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that as the opinion of the highest authorities in the law had bean mmulted, be congratulated himself that the law could not be misunder stood, and he hoped that thine who bad an interest is trading upon these delusions would be disappointed in the result. He had to ask her Ma jesty's government another question, whether, as they must know, or ought to know, what bad laser going on in many pariah churches of this metropolle—he would not say surreptitiously, inasmuch unit bad been ism openly and audaciously —this barefaced attempt, which bad Italy been made by several ministers holding peetannest in the established church of this cottony, to warp the for mularies of the church of England to their own Romanizing views, would be inquired into, or whether some enectiont would not be pared to prevent their recarreme or con tinuation? He should not be justified in supposing these grave matte,' to be substantiated, if he dui sot give some proof of their existence beyond what was furnished by the ordinary channels of information. The noble marquis then mentioned some instances which had come to his own keowledge. Earl GRAN VILLE said, on the pui of her Majesty's go- I yernment, he was not prepared to deny that the stemmata of the noble marquis were true. He was neither in a po sition to confirm, nor to day them. He also was act in a position to say that these innovations were as they ought to be ; sad he was not prepared to deny that the right rev. prelates had so remedy incept to put thew beads into their pockets and pay for the wets of praysediap ; but be was iiii=to say that so mann was under the cionsideratiou sjesty's gennonion with a view of putting an end to these proseadap. The Bishop of LONDON said that be ought to explain, se the noble marquis had alluded to hie diocese, the course be had always thought right to puma He meld assure the anis marquis that, 100 l at his gamine., he thought he might say, speaking fee hi right rev. brethren as well as himself, that if they were acquainted with a distinct viola ' Mend Use law they would not be debarred by considers : *en however ransom hen beeeir offewher tiahment Bat th ere wen 090 11W605 Os .•• (Own sale lleil ant to atesfese nesse be sit esee Alether was es bis side.

GREY rid hie attention bad not been called to the subject till he bad sees the Dodos of the hon. gentleman on the pare. He believed the fad to be that Highetrset was a very sojoyablo walk, which attracted • great number of people, amongst whom were a great many disorderly young men, and young women also.

With regard to the car which had Cr i brotight before the msgistrate of Clorkenwell police-court, Mr. Barker expressed his determine. tion to deal severely with oases of this hied, but as the young woman did not appear to prosecute, and as the primmer expressed his sorrow, he dismissed this parti cular oar. He did not think it was to be inferred from what Mr. Barker rid that he would in all oars require the attendance of the person who was insulted. Theft was no unwillhignees on the part of the authorities to afford a started amount of policemen to protect the inhabitants in the enjoysart of their walk, and to bring to *Moe those who offended. Mr. COX asked whether the number of police was suffi cient to a ff ord p ro tection from 1,500 ruffia ns lice Sir G. GREY hoped there wen not so may as 1,500 ruffians about. (Great laughter.) It reply to Mr. F. Powirzt., Sir G. GREY stated that if he saw reason to do so he should feel it to be his duty to call upon the Commissioner of Polies explain wby he fixed on any particular number to of police for a particular locality.

FRASER commented upon the: iscredimeet table delay which had taken place in completing tmonu, and asked the Chief Ociononisaioner of Works when there wee a probability of the long-expected lions for the pedestal of the column being completed. Mr. COWPER made a statement almost similar in terms to that made by him last year, namely, that Sir Edwin lendeser had at length finished the out of one of the four lions, that it would be soon reproduced is dotal, sad that h:l ab h a ird the three remaining effigies would speedily be fin* Among the other votes agreed to was re for 10,00 01 ., being a contribution towards the expenses of the metro• polite& fire brigade.

There were often very peat doubts as to the facie. The noble marquis had read from a document, but he (the Bishop of Lotnion) did sot kaow upon what authority it was framed. He himself treinently received that aort of document, which orrorarrod or extracts from *swappers or manuscripts eased with SO same or with a feigned sam e ; andtheir lordship_ would see that whilst such • communi c ation might in duce a bishop to make inquiries, it wee altogether est of the quire= that he should take proosediyis upon He was in the habit of coplyln4 to thee oannumications by inquiring whether the subscabers knew the statements of their own keowledge, or could substantiate them. There was • pea deal of seal in writing anonymous letters. but not much ease exhibited is bringing_thees matters to • test. (Hear, hear.) As ter as he could undardand, the noble marquis. allsdiag So those perishes is hie homes, had stated t h at the Magmas of those parishes had used I what he tolled • tractable prayer-book instead of the prayer-beck of the church of England. Now, d coons a gentleman so offending woull be in:spaded by the cootie immediately, and he did not think any great expense would be incurred by bringing h so grave as effendi, to punishasoL Bat be very muc dabbed whether it had bees does. He recollected a case in which it was alleged to have been done, and when an investigaties took piano It was found that a errata hymn had beau sung which had been used by the andent church, and also by the church of Rome. Their lordships knew that there wee peat liberty as to the stogies of hymns in churches, and he believed that if soy Prayer-book other than that authorised by act of parliament bad been used, if snob • we had hese put into the bads of his chancellor, it would have bees followed by condign punishmeut. With regard to the other question, it had been slated that three serums% two of whom were in his diocese, had stated in arcs 11100141 that they bed takes an oath not to reveal what they bad be in °attendee. He could may that neither to bluish nor to say other bishop of the church of England who might have ordained them, was snob an oath taken ; and he scald further say following what had been observed by the able and learned lord on the imola i*. that any person who administered an oath, except a notary paw or • pones authorised by act of would begs uilty of a misdemeanour , and sooordingly. With regard to one of the churches mentioned by the noble marquis—that of St. Alban's, Holbosu—he had no means of knowing whether what was stated was lone; but there would be no impropriety in saying that from nformation be had received holed requested the Archdeacon of London to visit it, and the venerable gentlemen's report was at this saixnant before the chaneellor of the diosess. He confessed, however, he was not very sanguine that it could be show n there had bees say violation of th e law. He hoped that he might eay, on his own part, and on that of his right rev. bretbern, that they were not unaware of the dangers to which the noble marquis had alluded ; but they were anxious to nisiatain the law, and they would sot be de terred by any coosidarations of expense or trouble, however considerable (Cheers.)

POST-OFFICE SAYINGS-BANKS. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. CAVE roes to eall attention to the 'Rowers,. to post masters in respect of Postoffice sayings-banks ; and to move, "That, in the opinioa of this loose, it is neither just nor expedient that labour and responsibility should be im posed upon public servants without adequateromuoinatioo." Mr. AYRTON mid before they took a step so decided ma Ithat which the hop gentleman had suggested it would be I wall for the house to appoint a committee to inquire into the workieg of the Post-016o* Savings Bank Act. Mr. f3CO RFIELD supported the motion. Mr. F. PEEL explained that the postmasters ware re munerated according to the amount of work done. in the ease mower as in this moseporder offices. For the bust , nem of the savings banks they were paid for every &hon eyed transactions, sod the work wee not heavier than in the mosey-order department, as the accounts were kept at the head office io London. After isms observations by Sir W. BOLexter and Mr. NROII, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was at present impossible to state how far thee. Poet-office savings banks sere self-supporting, although be believed they were self-supporting. The system was still young, and WAS 'Borisg and expanding from day to day. He did not think the existence of a surplus had any appreciable relation to the question raised by the hon. member, but he apprehended that the first duty of the department was to coosider the maximum interest they should pay to the public on their deposits. In conclusion, the right bon. gentleman said that the only practicable coons wee the consideration of each case upon he own mariW, and not a wholesale revision of the salaries. The motion wits than withdrawn. WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION. Sir W. OALLWEY called attention to the ititended de struction of a very large number of houses in Westminster exclusively Inh ab ited by the poor class of the port latime, and be also referred to the large number of roar who bad already been displaced by the Westminster improvements, andsaid that looking to the further oleo/moss which would soon be effected by the erection of the courts of justice in Carey-etest, and be the construction of the Metropolitaa Railway through Westminster, there would appear to be before long a general exodus of the poor of Lerida*, without, however, • promisedland to receive them. He complained of the slow progress made by the West minster Improvement Commissioners, who were eppointed under the act of 1861, sad deprecated a body who bed neither capital nor credit being entrusted with great public improvements, which be thought ought to be carried out by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The hon. baronet concluded by moving for a return of the expenditure of the commission sines 1861. Mr. TITE maid he bad not the slightest objection to give the fullest information with regard to the expenditure and whole proceediop of the commission, and if the hon. baronet would draw op a motion for a return on the subject which maid be understood. he would readily agree to it. Sir W. GALLWEY ultimately withdrew his motion, and the noblest dropped. Mr. DISRAELI, referring to the conduct of the Poor law Board with referees* to the Wycombe Union, io the seranty of Bucks, complained that the late master of the workhouse school bad been guilty of gross pro fl igacy. and that, although the guardians bed written to the Poor-law Board twice on the subject, their letters were not answered.

The cus tomary loyal toasts having _ bees proposed by the chairman, and warmly responded to by the - oonswey, "The Army, the Navy, aod the Volunteers" was Orin, coupled with the names of his Grace the Duke of Somerset, E.G., Major-General Sir Andrew Waugh. and Colonel Erskine. The toast having Wee duly acheowledgekthe chairman gave " The Houses of Lords and Commons, " coupled with the names of the Right Hoe. Earl Granville, ILO., god Mr. Roebuck, M.P. Earl Granville and Mr. Roebuck meditat ively returned thanks, and the chairman proposed " Oar visitors," coupled with the name of Lord Stanley, M.P. His lordship having expressed hie acknowledgmects, proposed " Prosperity to the tomtit:Woe of Civil Segiosers," coupled with the name of the senior put presideot there present, Mr. George Bidder. The noble lard spoke in terms of the warmest eulogy regarding the &erecter of the profession, whose members were resembled in large numbers on this ocoadoe. It was quite true, as had been remarked by a previow speaker, that civil engineers were pre-eminently amongst the representative men of the pre sent day. This was an age of industrial prograisivstenter prise—an age victorious, not by man over man, not by na tion over nation, bet by man over nature, by the help, if be might so express it, of nature herself, sod in the interests of the whole race of mankind. They had only to refer to those vest operations of modern times to be enabled to appreciate the justice of thin remark. The American telegraph, with is eighteen hundred miles of submarine wires, the piercing of the Alps for railway purposes, sod the groat Egyptian enterprise which was to shorten the route to India by 7,000 miles—these three works alone were sufficient to give an impress , to the cha. mots of the age, and to ensure its being ever remem bered in the future. Telegraphy might be said to anticipate time. Those works which united man to man and nation to nation wore calculated &affect the molds and the social position of mankind. They also affected the world intellectually, and that in the most material sense. In previous ages capital and labour had been as abun dant as they were now, but the opportuoities and the means of exercising either the we or the other did not present themselves as they did at the present moment, and tow they were seized by scientific and intellectual men to the general advantage of mankind. After a few more compli mentary observations regarding 'the great benefits which had arisen from the exertion, of the civil wieners, his lordship concluded by proposing the tout. Mr. Bidder returned thanks, observing that the institution bad been 50 years in existence, and daring its early years its, members numbered only 110. Of that number only 11 were now living ; but he was happy to say that in the year 1845 they began to grow, vigorous, and their numbers; had goo* on increasing until they sow reached 1,200. Their funds were accumulating, they were free from debt, and they were in all respects ii a satisfactory and flourishing ponds. He concluded by giving "The hono rary members of the Institution of Civil Firgansers," coupled with the name of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, Bart., M.P., who, having reminded, prodneed "The scientific end learned societies," maple/ with the same of General Sabine, president of the Royal Society. "The Lord Mayor and Institutions of the City of London," and "The health of the President of the lostitutioe," were given in moss . sift, and the entertainment (which reflected much credit rd upon the Mesas. Willis, wider whose direction it was pre 44 pared) was brought to a close shortly after 11 o'clock. &Bo MABICETIs. ...—•—, SUGAR.— Burroh, May 12.—The melee of the weik Rave bean small, sod ia wan alles Whet loves rate' lase b an takes.
