MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is gradually assuming a firmer appearance, but it chiefly arises from a feeling of greater reserve among the banks and discount houses. The exports of specie Ni bich have already taken place, and the prospect of the amount being continued until the loans lately negotiated for Turkey, Egypt, and Russia, are transmitted, encourage the opinion that the value of accommodation will increase, especially as it may be influenced by other causes, and the con sequence is that full rates are enforeed for the negotiation of mercantile securities. In many quarters business at the current rates is refused, because it is thought that higher terms will be attainable before many days have elapsed. While, however, there is reason to believe that an upward movement will be experi enced, no immediate ground exists for the pre sumption that anything like pressure or strin gency is likely to be encountered. Continued dulness prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday ; but prices were steadily maintained. The sales were about 3,000 bales. The quarterly sales of East Indian indigo com menced yesterday. There was very little compe tition, purchasers showing great reserve, and prices were 2d. to 10d. per lb. lower compared with the rates realised in February ; 1,461 chests passed, of which 568 were sold, 620 bought in, and 273 with drawn. _ . The Seine, from the West Indies, has brought £140,800 in specie. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday were of an unimportant character. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight advance in the rates on Paris and Hamburg. Gold is now about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and about 3-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. A call of £1 per share becomes due to-morrow on the London and Blackwall Railway, new shares. A payment of 10 per cent. has to be made to morrow on the New Ottoman Loan. The share list of the Laguna Mining Company Will close to-morrow at 12 o'clock. Business is reported in the shares at prem. CITY NEWS---TH IS DAN . Two O'CLOCK. A very unfavourable movement has taken place to-day in the market for English Securities, owing to extensive sales based upon the upward tendency of the rates of discount, and the expectation that money will gradually become dearer. The effect of the transactions entered into this morning has been a decline of about per cent, Consols having receded to 931 1 for transfer, and 911 92, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are 911 ; India Stock is 227* and 229, and ditto 5 per Cent. is steady at 1081 1091-; and Exchequer Bills have receded to 14s. and 163. prem. Foreign Securities are also very depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 801 ; ditto, 1858, to 7,91 ; ditto New Scrip, to 21- prem.; Egyptian to 11 21 p rem. ; Mexican , t o 31 t 32 ; S p anish, to M ; ditto Certificates, to 81 Brazi 1,-. Port ugue 100 i and se are 451 ; Dutch rem ain at 64/ ; lian, ; Italian, 711, The Russian Loan is /T, prem. Ia the Railway Share Market the dealings are extremely limited, the preparations for the liquida tion of the account occupying the chief attention of the dealers and speculators, and prices have exhi bited rather less firmness. Great Westerns, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, North Eastern (Bervvick), an d South Easterns have declined ss. Caledonians and Eastern Counties improved ss. The Foreign lines remain very inactive. Great Luxembvrg realise 151; Dutch-Rhenish, 17 ; B a hia and San Francisco, 17 1 ; Grand Trunk of Canada have receded to 231 241 ; Madras 5 per Cents. improved to 1011 102 ; East Indian realise 1031 104 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, 1021.

The Opinione ationale offers the following ex planation of M. Mercier's late journey to Ri mond : " The visit had for its only ob j ect the pres.ez vation of an immense provision of tobacco which had been purchased on account of the French Government at Richmond and New Orleans. If our inforniatio.n is exact, the Government of Washington hac,l consented, in spite of the block ade, to allow thE tobacco which is in store at Richmond to lea' ye. The authorisation of the Southern Governm,?nt was, however, at least in dispensable, and IV; was to obtain it that M. Mercier's journey tc% Richmond was undertaken. We are informed , , hat he has compl-tely failed in his mission. Th,l Confederate Government is said to have declared that, after seeing the com mercial advantages offeied in exchange for the recognition of the Co nfede:ate States rejected by France and England, the Southern Congress had formally prohibited t ,he exportation of tobacco and cotton. Th e to l )acco ques tion is certainly worth a journey to Richmond, whatever may be said by certain journals. It has a real importance, since the Government caer iv es from it a revenue of nearly 200,000,000f_ SHARE MARKET-THIS DAY. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOKS. Share Railways. Paid.

This was a petition presented by the wife against the husband for dissolution d marriage on the ground of cruelty and adultery. The respondent denied the allega tions in the petition. Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Prit chard for the respondent. Mrs. Martha Mary Thonpson said—The petitioner was her daughter. She was 'resent at the marriage, which took place in Launceston, Tasmania, in 1845. The service was performed by a Protestant clergyman. The respon dent's conduct towards her daughter was of the greatest cruelty. In Geelong he blackened her daughter's eye, and he was compelled to paint her eye before she could go on the stage. We all arrived n England about five years ago in the ship Kent. I saw hm frequently strike her on the voyage. He was in the habit of threatening to "do" for his wife, and she was conpelled to hide his razors. His conduct altogether was tne continued Belies of ill usage. After they hat arrived in England Mr. Charles Young obtainel an engagement at the St. James's Theatre, and tlere her daughter told her her husband had formed an intimacy with a Miss Seward. On one occasion she followed them to a lodging in Raymond buildings, and on her daughter going up to the door Mr. Young struck her. Mrs. Young said she fiat became acquainted with Mr. Charles Young in 1844, at Hobart Town. She was then fourteen years of age. In the next year she married, and after that they both went toMelbourne to perform under the management of Mr. Coprin. After that they went to Hobart Town, and for abou; 12 months Mr. Young treated her very kindly. She coup not recollect the first time he struck her: In 1848, whilewe were keeping the Duchess of Kent Hotel in Hobart Tcwn. He had been out late, and on coming into the parlour a gentleman was sitting there taking refreshment. Mr. Young said—" I've caught you at last," and then he struck her with violence about the head. He threatened to destroy himself, but she persuaded him to come home, and he did so. In 1849, when in Melbourne, he came in with a sword-stick in his hand, and said he had killed a Mr. Bellville, and said that he intended to kill her during the night. On the oc casion of her confinement of a still-born child about that time, Mr. Young struck her ten days after, in consequence of her mother expostulating with her for being so late. He sent for the doctor, and when the medical man asked how she was so much worse, he told her it was his fault, as he had been out drinking. She afterwards took her child out of bed, and in consequence of his ill-treatment she left the house with the intention of going to the Red Lion, where she had been living previously. 'Ho -followed her and knocked her down in the road with the child in her arms. He was always very jealous. He always made her take an oath on the Bible that all her statements to him were true, as to how she had passed her time when she left the theatre. Rule nisi granted, with costs. SECONDARIES' COURT.

POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY, PAYING roil A LARn.—Mr. Henry Mence, of 9, Argyle-street, King's-cross, medical student; Mr. Charles Dennison, 28, Frederick-street, Gray's-inn-road, surgeon ; and Mr. James Russell, coal merchant, of 4, Hampstead street, Fitzroy-square, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance by knocking and singing at doors in Princes-street. Bovey, 86 C, proved at half-past three this morning, seeing the defendants coming from the direction of the Haymarket and knocking and ringing at the doors and houses in Princes-street and King-street. They then ran away, and he pursued them into Frith-street, and took them into custody. On going to some of the houses in Princes-street he found some of the knockers wrenched completely round. Smith, 122 C, corroborated Bovoy, and said he saw one of the defendants go up to a house and wrench the knocker round. One of the defendants said they had been to the Hay market, and all they did was for a lark. Mr. Tyrwhitt-205., or a month. Richard King was charged with uttering two counterfeit shillings to Mr. Thomas Surridge, of the Black Horse, Coventry-street, two counterfeit florins and one shilling being found in the prisoner's possession. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him. A LADY PICKEOCKET.—RODBING A CLERGYMAN'S WlPE.—Bridget Wise, a stylishly-attired female, and who was wearing a gold watch and chain when taken into cus tody, was charged with stealing a purse containing money from the pocket of Mrs. Charlotte Josephine Vickery, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Vickery, of 17, Charlotte-street, Bed- ford-square. Mrs. Vickery said that on the previous afternoon she was leaving St. James's Hall, having been to Mr. Ella's concert (the Musical Union), and while allowing an elderly lady to pass, she found the prisoner's hand in her pocket. She (Mrs. Vickery) put her hand into her pocket and found her purse gone; and the prisoner, who had moved away, passed something to a man, who instantly ran away. On taking hold of the prisoner and charging her with rob bing her, she said, " Me, my dear." Mr. Austin, the ma nager of the hall, and a constable, then came up, and she gave the prisoner into custody. Sergeant Thomas Foinett, 14 C, said the prisoner gave an address in the Waterloo-road, but on inquiry there he found it was false. He found on the prisoner 3s. 7d. and a gold watch and chain. Prisoner, who said she had never been in custody before, was committed for trial. MTSCELLANEOUS. Ang,lo-Mexican Mint .. Atlantic H. MI. Stm (1d)) Atlantic Tel.

This was a writ of inquiry sent down from the Court of Common Pleas to assess the damages, laid at £l,OOO, under circumstances detailed by Mr. Field, counsel for the plain tiff. The plaintiff and the defendant are residents of Notting ham, and carry on business there. The plaintiff let the defendant a certain lace machine of the value of £550 in the year 1858, and it was to be paid for by instalments, but in the event of the defendant failing in any of the instalments the plaintiff was entitlei to have his machine. The defen dant had not kept up his payments, and as plaintiff could not get his money the present action was brought. In addition to the value of the machine, the defen dant was to pay so much in the shape of rent, and in consequence of the defendant's -keeping fne machine there was a count for istenNe. The defendant had not pleaded to the action; but while he (Mr. Field) asked for a verdict for the full amount as a protection to the plaintiff, whatever payments had been made by the defendant should be duly credited to him. The loss of the machine was somewhat serious to the plaintfff, who was entitled to the hill amount. Plaintiff's attorney was called, and bore out the facts con tained in the above statement. The learned Second ar y , in summin g up, obs er ved that the defendant was not present to object to the damages. The rent amounted t 3 £lB2 10s., and the value of the lace machine was £550. The jury assessed the damages at £732 10s. CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) John Haines surrendered to an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Thomas Mitchell. The Judge said he did not think there was evidence to bear out the charge. The Jury therefore at once returned a verdict of not guilty, and the defendant was discharged. ATTEMPTING TO MURDER, lnbnitrer, cged 40, ,as indicted for feloniously attempting to murder his wife. There was also a second indictment, charging him with assaulting her to do grievous bodily harm. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. From the evidence of the wife it appeared that the pri soner had been drinking to excess for two or three weeks, and been unable to go to work, as he Ras suffering from delirium tremens, and labouring under the delusion that people were in his room. He continued in this state during the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On the evening of Thursday the 30th of April the wife went to bed about 10 o'clock, but got up at half-past 12 to give the prisoner his medicine. He then urged her to come into bed, and immediately she did so he thrust a file used in sharpening a saw into her stomach. She got the file from him, Veen he got out of bed and seized an axe, which was lying among some firewood, and struck her some blows on the side of the head, inflicting several very severe wounds. She got away and ran down stairs, when the prisoner threw the axe after her. The wife was afterwards taken to St. Mary's Hospital, and the prisoner was con veyed to the station-house. The police-constable said, when he asked the prisoner why he had injured his wife, he said it was a good job she got out of the way, or it would have been worse for her. Dr. Brown, of Kensal.green, said when he examined the woman he found two incised wounds on the head—one over the right ear three inches in extent, and one over the left about an inch. Such an instrument as an axe would produce the injury. On the abdomen he found a number of bruises, and also some wounds, as if from a pointed weapon—a file, for instance. At the station I saw the pri sonar, and found him labouring under delirium tremens, and he said he was jealous of his wife with a Jim Cock well. A person suffering so severely from delil ium tremens as the prisoner would, to a great extent, render him incap able of knowing right from wrong. The learned Judge, in summing up the evidence, said he must impress upon the jury that drunkenness must not be considered as any excuse for crime. The jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawful wounding. Mr. Bibton said the prosecutrix wished to recommend the prisoner to mercy. The learned Judge said that was invariably the case ; the person injured always being most anxious that the offender should escape punishment. He then sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' hard labour in the House of Correction. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) UTTERING A FORGED LEASE. William Claringbold, a respectable man, aged 60, p'eaded guilty to an indictment charging him with uttering a forged lease, and obtaining by fraudulent representations the sum of 4600. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said he had looked over tho depositions in this ease, and he found that the prisoner had obtained a, large sum of money upon the faith that the deed was a v alid document. The person advancing the money was to receive 20 per cent, but that did pot afford the slightest ground for altering the sen t en ce he was about to pass. It was of the highest ioa- I portance that crimes of the description to which the prisoner had pleaded guilty should be severely punished, and ho therefore felt it his duty to sentence him to four years' penal servitude. ___ (Befora Baron Channell.) Frederick Driver, a clerk employed in the Jermyn-street district, pleaded guilty to a verdict charging him with steal ing a letter c ontaining two half sovereigns, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. Mr. Sleigh, on the part of the prisoner, urged that his li s was E.1:1 exceptional case, as he was not actually in client's nt' n servi ce ear o e d judge of thePost-saidoffi ce. The that he would take that circum • stance into consideration, and defer passing sentence for the present. A MAN AND A BOY DROWNED IN GLASGOW HARBOUR. —On Sunday, about half-past 1 o'clock, a few boys were amusing thenaeelveswith a sand punt, which was moored ii in the neat Jenny's Burn, when ono of them , a fl of age, named John Phillips , ro t, gat 103, w ith one of his assistants, Was on the spot as s oon as pos sible ; but they did not recover the body till it had been about three- quarters of an hour in the water.—Same after noon, the body of a Ulan was observed in the river near the west end of Mavisbank Quay, and was subsequently iden tified as that of Robert Todd, a moulder, about forty years of age, and who resided in King-street, Calton.

In auc tioneer's phraseology, let us hope we shall soon hear that it is "Goyon—Goyon—Gone 1" In fact, we should rejoice to hear of a general departure on the side of the French,— Punch. DANGEROUS !—Of course the International build ing is insured to the full value of all that it contains. One would fear there must be a great likelihood of fire, as one hears that a live COLE is often found about the place, and who is expected some day to set the Thames on fire.--runch. THE BEST WAY OF PRI.,SERVING MEAT.—l nvite none but Vegeterians to dine with you.—Funch. M. Kuhne, the highly respect ed liberal dep his uty in Prussia who has been elec t e d at Eiberfeld, writes to e l e ctors to thank them, and says t hat -although stormy wea ther may be expected in the coming Parliament — too he will stand stormy almost for a man of his age (77 Year s) by his colours so long as his strength lasts. The Minister of Marine has just received the following &ft.:ltch from the Commander-in-Chief in Cochin ail- .. ..citt d Segon, March 28:— " Monsieur le 1 :nistre—l have already informed you that I intended to make a tour in the Southern Provinces in order to ascertain, from perL,oual ob servation, the real state of things, and to remedy the inconveniences of our situation as promptly as possible. It resulted from my inspection that the citadel of Vinh-Long, situated on the Cambodia, enjoyed in the South the sqme importance as that of. Bien-Hoa is the North. Vinh-Long was the residence of a Viceroy, and was a formidable centre of .opposition ; was well supplied with arms and ammunition, which it supplied to all the surrounding country. I therefore decided on gaining possession of it before the setting in of the rainy season Ehon.la impede our movements. " After having acquired the certainty that our frontier on the north of Bien-Hoa was well secured, and that there was no reason to dread either an in vasion of that province, or any insurrection of its inhabitants, I left for the southern provinces. The supplies of provisions, ammunition, and coal neces sary for the expedition had been prepared before hand at Mytho, and the naval force had been strengthened by one large and four small gunboats The citadel of Vinh-Long is situated before a deep port open on the east and west on the river Cam bodia, and closed on the north by a marshy island, impracticable for an army, and the narrow passages on the east and west of the port were barred by seven strong stockades, supported by eight forts. The different works and the citadel were defended by 80 pieces of cannon, and the walls were sur rounded by chevaux do frisc and loop-holes in every direction. The forces at my disposal consisted of four largo and seven small gunboats ; two companies of Spanish infantry, under C ommandant Hernandez; three companies of Algerian riflemen , under Commandant Pietri ; o ne company of marines ; two sections or artillery ; one detachment of engineers ; a brigade of gendarmery ; a detachment of cavalry ; a company of Annamite partisans ; and a section of armed coolies. " In the evening of the 20th, the expeditionary corps, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Reboul, of the Alarines, /ended under the protection of two gun boats, at a point called the Tuileries, situated near the citadel, but out of the reach of its guns, and established its position without any resistance. Reconnaissances were immediately pushed for ward on the road to the citadel. Experience having convinced me that simultaneous et tacks, and particularly those which might threaten to cut off ,;the retreat of the Anuamites, would have the best result, I adopted the following arrangements. The troops which in the morning of the 22d. effected the passage of the first branch of the river by establishing abridge under the enemy's fire, prepared to cross the second, so as to be able to take in the rear the great fort, the fire of which the gunboats had in vain attempted to silence. About five o'clock in the evening the firing of the Western forts slackened, and I stopped that of the gunboats in order not to impede the movements of the turn ing party. That plan was completely 'successful ; all the Western forts were taken, one after the other, and the principal one occupied. During this time six gunboats attacked the Eastern forts, and reduced them after an energetic resistance of two hours. At night, after a combat of seven hours, all, the batteries were silenced. The cita del alone held out, but the firing from it was very slack, and the light which was visible in the inte rior showed that the resistance drew towards a close, and that the Mandarins were preparing to set it on fire and fly. At daybreak on the 23d th© expeditionary corps, with a detachment of sailors, who had landed from the gunboats, entered by two opposite gates into the citadel, which was on fire. Thanks to the promptitude .of this movement, the damage caused was not very considerable, and we were fortunate enough to be able to release a num ber of Christians, who were in chains. Out of the 80 pieces of cannon, 68 fell into our hands, as well as considerable supply of rice and other stores. We also found in the place a cannon foundry and some howwitzers, which had been cast after the model al our own. I have reserved as a present to the Emperor three of the guns the make of which is very remarkable. One, which the natives call. the ' General-in-Chief,' was cast in the reign of Gialong, during the finest part of his reign, and the two others are artistically ornamented with silver. I took out the most valuable articles which had been left in the detached forts, and then dismantled them, so that they could not be reocou pied. I hope that in the course of a week all the necessary operations will have been completed, so that some little rest may be given to the troops who have had during the last three months great fatigue and serious privations to undergo. " I think from the following summary of what has been done that your Excellency w ill b e con vinced of the zeal, activity, and cour age w hi c h h as been displayed by the troops and seamen employed —" Conquest, pacification, and organisation of the province of Bien-Hoa ; destruction of the Annamite regular army of the North ; dispersion of the An namite army of the South ; capture of two citadels and of more than thirty forts ; capture of 120 pieces of artillery. Our loss has been trifling com pared with the results obtained. We have had two sailors killed, and six soldiers and fifteen sailors wounded. Lieut.-Colonel Reboul was slightly hurt in the foot.—l am, &c. " BONARD29 THE _MIDDLE LEVEL CATASTROPHE. LYNN, THURSDAY MORNING. The destruction of the sluice and bridge connected with the Middle Level Outfall (which cost £30,000 for construction about sixteen years ago), which was detailed last week as having occurred on Mon day, the 4th instant, has been attended with the most serious resulis. The entire drainage of a vast portion of the fens between Lynn and Peterborough depends upon this cut, which has been regattlL•l as quite a feat in drainage, and it empties it :) ,_lf into the Ouse, about three miles above Ly nn . On the 4th instant the bridge and sluice were entirely destroyed (it is sup posed through being made on a sandy foundation), and a house or two engulphed. Since that time (the most strenuous exertions have been put forth to construct a dam, for the purpose of keeping out alvv:abyiNvgiNie:neareee, the tidal waters ; but all has failed, though between 20 and 30 barges filled with mud have been sunk (only to be washed away as if they were toys), and about 20,000 sandbags have been thrown into the iir,a. also epr;ns 4,:<1.0 1......... t e15....f. ,, ?- rushen up the cut with unbounded velocity and power, throw ing down bridges, forcing huge breaches in the banks, and inundating vast tracts of land. On Monday afternoon the tide washed a barge from the moorings, capsized her, dashed her against . St. Peter's Bridge, and broke her to shivers. During the first tide on Monday two breaches were made in the bank on the north-west side of the cut, about a mile apart. One of these was successfully stopireedifi but the other spread, and when we were was not less than 50 yards wide, and hthatebwe was rushing through a la Niagara, lis' fl it The sight like " the shout of a mihty cataract. 0 eye could here was awfully grand; as far as tb 'louses were reach was one vast body of w ater. sound submerged eight or ten feet, and . were seen floating about.

IMPERIAL PANLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS DAY. The SFEAKER, k the chair shortly after twelve o'clock PRIVATE BUSINESS. The L-rds' amendments to the Berwick-upon-Tweed Hatb,ur Bill was considered and agreed to. The Bolton and Blackburn Road Bill, and the Shrews bury and Hereford Railway Bill were considered and ordered to be read a third time. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, from Norwich, against he Church Rate Bill ; by Mt. Hadfield, from Sheffield, against certain clauses in the Savings Banks Bill ; by Air. Hope, from the Synod of Lothian and Tweedale against the Scotch Education Bill; and by several members, in favour of the Church Rates Abolition Bill, CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY moved the second reading of this bill. In one respect he might feel discouraged in respect of this measure from th , , repeated defeats he had sustained, but, as on last occasion, the defeat was in a great measure the act and deed of the supporters of the bill, in consequence of their having been led away with the idea of a compromise on the subject, that discouragement was greatly lessened. There was scarcely an hon. member in that house who did not consider that some measure was necessary on the subject, and he believed that the opposition he would meet with on the present occasion would in effect be that the mode he pro posed to regulate the matter was not the proper one. The ebjeet, ef hon. members on the Opposition side of the house seemed to be to get rid of his bill by holding out hopes of the settlement of the question by compromise ; but when this mode of settlement had been attempted, it had been already seen what insurmountable difficulties rose up in their path. He considered that Dissenter s were right in objecting to the form of compromise which had been pro • posed, as he must say that toleration was not so prevalent in the present day as some people would have them believe. The other night he heard an hon. gentleman getup and ask the Foreign Minister what action he intended to take as regarded the imprisoned Protestants in Spain. Of course he could say nothing on the subject at the time, but he I must say he felt indignant, and if he were Spanish Minis ter he should write a very authoritative letter to the Foreign Minister on the subject, and tell him to see that toleration was exercised in his own country before he found fault with the mode of the exercise of it in others. (Cheers and laughter.) It was said that without church rates there would be no security for the restoration of churches ; but he considered that church rates were the dry rot of the Church, and were church rates abolished to-morrow he had no doubt but that a perfectly efficient system for the restoration of churches would be devised by the heritors of the p ,rich. By the system of church rates the church wardens were the parties responsible for the restoration and repairs of the church, and they needed not to go far to see the disgraceful manner in which they performed their duties in that respect, converting some of the finest speci mens of their old archii ecture into unseemly and uncomfort able structures. The fact was, he considered church rates as altogether unsuited to the present age and time. What would be said by philosophers 200 years hence in respect of this system of church rates ? What would be said by the the Wesleys, Darwains, Macaulays, or greater still, by the Buckles, respecting this system ? Why, would they not characterise it as a political mon strosity, some former specimen of a fox with wings, which might have been presumed to exist in a former age. He would not detain the house, as the subject had been discussed so often, and all the arguments for an against the abolition of the impost were well known. He must, however, say that let the supporters of these rates declaim as 'they might, hon. members on the Opposition side of the house could not upset• the Government, and they could not hold the Government unless they consented to the abolition of church rates. He therefore moved that the bill be read a second time. Mr. C. BUXTON seconded the motion, and stated that he did so in order that some compromise might he arrived at on the subject. He considered that the tendency of the public mind was at present directed towards & compromise, and though it might be some time before that was come to, still he had no doubt that a scheme would ultimately be devised which would satisfy all parties. As a means to that compromise, he considered that the penalty at present imposed for the refusal of church rates should be abolished, That would do away with all practical grievance in the case, and would reduce all objections to church rates to a theoretical character. Mr. S. ESTCOURT said ho had understood that the hon. member who had just sat down rose for the purpose of seconding the resolution, but his speech would lead one to believe that such was not the case. (Hear, hear.) That, however, was but one instance—and he had no doubt they would hear many others in the course of the debate—of the impossibility of the measure proposed by the hon. baronet. The hon. baronet knew his opinions on the question very well, as they were expressed by him when the bill was before the house last session. These opinions were exactly the same this year, but he could not help say ing that while 23 bills had been introduced on this-subject since it was first broached in the house, neither the house nor the Government had proceeded with these in the same creditable manner they had done in respect of other matters which had come before them. No doubt several of these schemes were mere crotchets, but still none of them did get that consideration which the house w.re in the habit of giv. ing to other subjedts. In most of the schemes which had been prepared by the other side of the house a distine. tion was drawn between Churchmen and Dissenters, and rights were given to one party which was with held from the other. All the schemes were mere expedients, which seemed to got rid of the main diffi culty, but none of them stood upon a well-defined oonstitutional principle. He considered, therefore, that to deal properly with this question they must deal with it on a constitutional principle. He would, therefore, move as an amendment—" That it is unjust and inexpe dient to abolish the ancient customary right, exercised from time immemorial by the ratepayers of every parish in England, to raise by rate amongst themselves the sums re- quired for the repair of their church, until some other pro vision shall have been made by Parliament for the dis charge of those obligations, to which, by custom or statute, :he churchwardens, on the part of the parish, are liable." Lord R, MONTAGUE seconded the amendment. (LEFT SITTING.) PARLIAMENTARY DI VISION. i 321 3 '" •
