pr and overpowered by the most melan choly feelings. In a word, not only nothing has been done before and since the arrival of the Grand Duke which should in any way les sen the deep and general dissatisfaction in the n a t ion ; but, on the contrary, the Government, composed of the police and the soldiers, spares no effort in rendering the indignation greater and the ° l 3 P r ession still more unbearable. What will be the result of such a system it is more than I can discern. If the present silent but most terrible re volution which is going on in Russia does not bring the Emperor to his senses, and induce him to grant justice to his own subjects as well as to the Poles, he may, like his brother Emperor of Austria, be deprived of the finest and the richest part of his heterogeneous empire, which Poland constitutes. -1) I1 1 IINISIENG YIELD OF GOLD IN CALIFORNIA. The Californians are anticipating the time when they shall be compelled to turn their attention to other pursuits than gold digging. Placer mining in some parts of California has already ceased to be profitable for white men. In 1852 gold miners earned 10 dols. per day, and in 1862 they are ob liged to be contented with 2-1 dols. It is estimated that if the fruitfulness of the gold mines continues to decrease in the same ratio as it has done for the la st ten years, in 1872 no white man will be found at work in the gold mines. American writers ex- Press an opinion that in a few years California will get rich by carrying timber to China. The latter enantry having been densely populated for ages, is bare of timber, and the monster forests of California e_ould f urn i s h th a t p ro d uc t f or cen t ur i es to come. C alifornia could also supply the fleets of steamers Which will be required for the Chinese rivers. ~" The Chinese," says a Californian paper, " are alive to the benefits of river steamers, and to the advantages which shipments on European vessels F i vein safety and certainty of insurance. Before the pirates made the voyages of the junks almost l alpossible, the Chinese merchant calculated to lose 0 0e venture in three. He now avoids the risk by freighting in foreign bottoms. The opening of the ri vers will call for the construction of a fleet of light dr aught steamers, which California can supply. We have faith the trade may be ours if the efforts be made to secure i t, an d that as our mills increase and labour diminishes in value, we may make steady shipments of timber to China's great valley, and, if 'cve will, that the return vessels may be loaded with a.product which will give employment to Califor nlan looms an d spindles. Our northern forests will /'esound with cheerful industry , and our s hi py ards give forth the productions of ingenious labour. Youthful California and Oregon will spare to aged China the surplus of their forests for the products of her plains, made bare of wood by the wants of Centuries of a dense population."

A Government prosecution of a novel and by no means edifying kind is about to take place in Bromberg, East Prussia. Five local judges are to be arraigned as political offenders against the Government. During the the Minister of Jus late elections circulars Were issued by tics to all the functionaries under hita claiming their sup port as electors for the Ministerial candidates. The five magistrates alluded to replied to the circul by energetic protests against what th e y conceived to bearan illegitimate interference with their ri g ht s as electors and cit izens. Th e Government, it is stated, h as had the uns g 8 agai nst the peak ably bad taste and folly to institut e cr i m i nal proceedin authors of the protest. G rea t curiosity is felt a $ to the proceeding. probable result of this singular STEAM VESSELS.—We learn from a Parliamentary return issued yesterday, that the number of steam vessels registered in the United Kingdom on or before the Ist of January last was 2,079, the amount of registered tonnage 494,895, and the amount of gross tonnage 758,377. MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. An instalment of 15 per cent. falls due on the Egyptian Lean to-morrow, and 10 per cent. on the Russian Loan, less, iu each instance, the sums paid in full. The amount of gold bought by the Bank to-day was £BO,OOO, making an aggregate of £761,000 for the week. The mail steamer Oneida has taken £12,230 in gold for Brazil. The Liverpool cotton market has become quieter. The sales to-day were limited to 8,000 bales. Long staple and American cotton was firm, but Surat was heavy, and in some instances lower. An extraordinary meeting of the National Dis count Company is called for the 23d instant, when a dividend is to be declared. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company is convened for the 16th inst., to confirm the resolutions passed at the meeting on the 26th ult. Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart intends on the 22d inst. to make a call of 108. per share on the contri butories in class 1 of the " L ondon and Birmingham Extension, and Northampton, Daventry, Leaming ton, and Warwick Railway Company. Assuming that the rumour is correct that the fresh issue of Egyptian Government stock will be equal to 50 per cent., and be assigned at par to the existing bondholders, with dividend accruing as from the Ist September next, it is worthy of remark that the existing stock, at 7 per cent. premium, is really not much above par, the 50 per cent. of new stock being worth about £3 108., and the first divi dend of £3 10s. becoming due on the existing bonds on the Ist September. It will be safer, however, not to regard any of the proposed arrangements as absolutely certain until they are officially notified. The rise to-day was promoted by purchases to close speculative operations for the fall, but the principal investments effected latterly appear to have been on German account. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the impression that the Bank directors at their meeting this afternoon may reduce their minimum rate of discount, business in the general money market is temporarily suspended. The ex pectation of a decline is strengthened by a further arrival of £450,000 in gold from New York. The Etna, from New York, has brought £450,000, and the Macgregor Laird, from the West Coast of Africa, £10,500 in specie. The first ordinary meeting of the Telegraph to India Company will take place on the 25th inst. It has been notified by the Spanish Financial Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the 29th inst., and 6,261,472 reales have been assigned by the Government for that purpose. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861.

On the Great Western there is an in crease of £9,009; on the North Western of £12,704; on the South Western of £10,026; on the Brighton of £2,888 ; on the Midland of £3,053; on the South Eastern of £2,011 ; on the Great Northern of £1,470, and on the Eastern Counties of £2,890; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, shows a decrease of £4,712, and the North Eastern of £2,237. Two O'CLOCK. ALTERATION IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. The directors of the Bank of England have just announced a modification of their discount regula- tions, by reducing the minimum from 3 to 21 per cent. Very, little surprise has been produced by this; important movomonf, tho condition of the market and the general prospect of affairs had prepared the public for the change. The balance sheet which will be published this evening is ex pected to show a large increase of bullion and a considerable falling off in the loan and discount operations. The measure seems to meet with gene ral approbation, as the continuance of the minimum at 3 per cent. when discounts were obtainable else where at 21 per cent., was incompatible with the interests of the proprietary and inconsistent with the actual situation of monetary affairs. The English Stock Market to-day opened rather heavily, and a decline of 1 per cent. ensued, Consols ' having touched 911 92, and 92 921 for the account; they are now, however, rather firmer owing to the reduction in the Bank rate of discount, the latest quotation being 92 921, and 921 4 respectively. The New Threes are flat at 91-1 921 ; the Reduced at 911 921 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 15s. to 18s. prem. ; India Stock has improved to 226 ; and the Five per Cent. Loan has fluctuated from 1081 to 107, the latest price being 1071 .1. In the Foreign department Mexican Stock has been adversely influenced by advices from the Re public via New York, and the price has receded to 281. Russian 5 per Cents. have declined to 95; ditto New Loan Scrip is firm ate dis.; Spanish Certificates remain at 91 1 7 ; Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 85; ditto, 1858, 711; and the Scrip is 1* 1 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip is 61 7 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued moderately active, and, owing to a few speculative sales, prices have in some instances shown less firmness. Caledonians, Eastern Coun ties, Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Westerns, Midlands, and North-Eastern (Berwick) have declined 55.; North-Eastern (York), 10s. ; and North British, £l. Great Northerns and South-Westerns, however, have improved 55.; and London and Brighton, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have con tinued inactive, without any material change in values. Great Luxembourg realise 141; Dutch- Rhenisb, 171; Cape Town and Dock, 1073-,; Great Indian Peninsula, lull ; Bombay and Baroda, 100! t, Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some instances a shade flatter.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) TURNER Y. TURNER. This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty. The respondent, who denied the cruelty, was a surgeon, carrying on business at Kensington, and the petitioner, his wife, was a lady of property, of which she become pos sessed through a person to whom the respondent had been medical attendant. The petitioner, in her examination, said she had the mis fortune to lose one of her legs some years previous to her acquaintance commencing with the respondent, and one of the acts of cruelty practised by him towards her was that, whenever he wanted to annoy her, he used to take away her artificial leg and lock it up, leaving her to be carried to bed by the coachman. While in Wales, shortly after her marriage, they had a quarrel at the hotel at which they were stopping, when the respondent rang the bell, and on the chambermaid making her appearance he (respondent) gave her petitioner's artificial leg, which usually laid at the side of the bed, to take down to air. (Immense laughter,) She also spoke to other acts which she considered cruelty. The case was proceeding when we went to press. CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY. OLD COURT. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.

The prisoner, it appeared, had been out drinking, and returned to her home at an early heur in the morning, and through intoxication she fell down on the floor with her child in her arms and went to sleep. On awaking it was discovered that her unfortunate child had died through suffocation. The learned judge stopped the case, observing that the child no doubt had lost its life by accident. After a severe admonition the prisoner was discharged from custody. CHARGE OE ARSON. William Kersey, shoemaker, was indicted for unlawfully attempting feloniously to set fire to a certain dwelling-house, George Brennan and others being therein.

The trial of the indictment against William Eaton for an offence against the bankruptcy laws was postponed until next month. This concluded the business of the session, POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT HER MAIESTY'S THEATRE.—Henry Mat thews, a well- dressed young man, who gave the address, 16, Water-place, Hackney-road, and described hanself as a commercial traveller, was charged with the following rob bery at Her Majesty's Theatre : _ _ Mr. C. W. Noble, varnish manufacturer, 117, Long-acre, said—l was at Her Majesty's Theatre last night at S o'clock with my wife, and waited some little time at the pit en trance, and on the door being opened there was a rush to the side door, and the prisoner so pushed in as to separate me from my wife. The prisoner then again pushed me, turning me right round, and at that moment, while stand ing sideways, I felt my watch, of the value of £3O, go. I immediately turned round and said to the prisoner, " My watch is gone," at the same moment observing the pri soner's arm go towards another man. I rushed to the man and seised him, but he had nothing in his hand, and on turning round I saw my watch under the prisoner's foot. The watch produced is the same, and is a presentation watch. I picked it up and seised the prisoner, there being no other males present but myself, the prisoner, and the other man, the other persons being ladies. I called for the police and the prisoner then endeavoured to get away by getting under some ropes which divide the opera-house from Charles Matthews' entertainment. A constable then came up and I gave the prisoner in charge, the other man getting away. On charging the prisoner he replied, "Oh, sir, you are mistaken." Inspector T. Cavanagh, of the A division, in charge of the police arrangements at Her Majesty's Theatre, said— Last night 1 went to the Hackney-road, but could find no Water-place. I then went to a Warner-place, but could gain no information of the prisoner. Of late there had been numerous robberies at the same part of the theatre, and I have seen the prisoner several times about the theatre. Gideon Mansfield, 139 A, proved apprehending the pri soner while trying to escape. Remanded. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—James Stonor, in the employ of Mr. Collis, a market gardener, of Lower Common, Putney, was charged, at the instance of Mr. W. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with using a horse in a total unfit state. The horse was brought to the front of the court, and pre sented as wretched a spectacle as could well be conceived. The evidence of Sinclair and Smith went to show that they saw the horse drawing, or trying to do so, a cart heavily laden, and finding the wretched state the poor brute was in they took the prisoner into custody. _ _ Ti,Tha nconem of fbc. 11 - nran vr,es. :+ll ormv4., rand wißhed to take horn. again, and he would then have it killed. Mr. Knot refused the owner's request, and said he should order the horse to be killed, and he would then discharge the prisoner. The owner—who, however little he thought of his horse, evidently took good care of himself, judging from his portly and robust appearance—consented to have the horse at once killed, and left with the society's officers. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN BY A SOLDIER. — Joseph Mahoney, Royal Engineers, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being drunk and riotous, assaulting Police constable B 79 (Hemming) and tearing his trousers, and also with assaulting other persons. It appeared that about four o'clock on the previous after noon the prisoner was in the Queen's-road, Pimlico, in a state of intoxication, and causing a great disturbance. He was seen by some gentlemen, who spoke to 122 B, advising that he should be taken to the station-house. The prisoner resisted in so determined a manner that the officer was obliged to obtain the assistance of B 79. The prisoner upon seeing that officer, put his right leg between those of the officer (79) and threw him down. The constable was much hurt. He got up, when the prisoner repeated the assault. He also tore that officer's trousers. It required the assistance of four constables to carry him to the station house, [as he was very violent and unable to walk there through his intoxication. Hemming said that he was unable at present to go on duty in consequence of being so injured. Prisoner, as he was being carried to the station-house, seeing two Guards men, called upon them to rescue him, when one of them (the officers) " Let him go." Mr. Arnold—What is the damage to the trousers ? Hemming—Ten shillings, your worship. Mr. Arnold (to the prisoner)—What is your answer to the charge ? Prisoner—l have been a teatotaller many months. Yes terday I met my father. I had not seen him for same time, and took a little too much to drink. Mr. Arnold—That was your fault. You are fined 30s. and also the amount of the damage done. The prisoner, in default of paying the penalty, was locked up. SHIPPING---THIS DAY. LONDON, July 10.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze, and fine weather, but cloudy at times.

At a meeting of the Common Council this day, at the Guildhall, the freedom of the city was presented to Mr. George Peabody in accordance with the terms of the follow ing resolution, which had been carried in the Court a short time ago, on the motion of Mr. Deputy Reed : "That the honorary freedom of the Corporation of London, in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas, be presented to Mr. George Peabody, an American citizen, in grateful re cognition of his princely munificence in devoting the sum of £150,000 towards the relief of the needy and deserving poor of the metrepolis, and of the Christian liberality of feeling which dictated that the fund thus cleated should be administered irrespective of considerations of nationality party, or religious belief." HANGED IN ERROR. A man of considerable property, in or near London, died, leaving an only child, a daughter, aged about eighteen, and by his will appointed his brother his guardian and sole executor. The will directed that if the daughter should die without having married, or if married without children, her fortune should go to the uncle, whose interest was therefore supposed to be incompatible with that of the niece. Several of the relatives, discontented with the father's ultimate disposion, threw out dark hints that they ought not to live together ; notwithstanding which, the uncle removed the niece to his own residence, near Epping Forest. They were both seen one, day walking together in the forest, but the young lady suddenly disappeared, and the uncle declared that he had sought her as soon as he had missed her, and knew not whithsr she had gone, or what had become of her. This account was considerable impro bable, and appearances being clearly suspicious, he was arrested and brought before a magistrate, where other cir cumstances, which were hourly coming to light, rendered his position serious. A young gentleman from the neigh bourhood had been paying his addresses to her, and it was stated, and generally believed, that he had gone a few days before she had been missed on a journey to the north, she having declared that she would marry him on his return. The uncle had repeatedly expressed his disapprobation of the match, and she had loudly reproached him with unkindness and abuse of his authority over her as his ward. A woman was produced, who swore that about eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the day the niece was missed as she was passing through the forest, and heard a young lady's voice earnestly expostulating with a gentleman, and, upon drawing nearer to the spot, distinctly heard the following expressions : " Don't kill me, uncle—don't kill me I " Being greatly terrified she hurried away from the scene, and imme diately afterwards heard the report of fire-arms. On this combination of circumstantial and positive evidence, coupled with the suspicion of interest, the uncle was tried, convicted of murder, and immediately after, accord ing to the Draconic code then in force, executed. About ten days after the execution the young lady reappeared, and, stranger still, all the evidence given on the trial proved to be strictly true. The niece then declared that, having resolved to elope with her lover, they had given out that he had gone on a journey to the north, while he had merely waited near th• skirts of the forest until the time appointed for the elopement, which was the very day she disappeared. He had horses ready saddled for them both, and two servants in attendance on horse back. While walking with her uncle he had reproached her with her resolution to marry a man of whom he disapproved, and after some remonstrances she passionately ex claimed, " I have set my heart upon it. If Ido not marry him it will be death to me; and don't kill me, uncle, don't kill me I" Just as she had pronounced those words she heard a gun fired, at which she started, and she after wards saw a man come from amongst the trees with a wood pigeon in his hand, which he had then shot. On approach ing the spot appointed for the meeting with her lover, she formed a pretence to induce her uncle to go on before her, and having fled to the arms of her suitor, who had been waiting for her, they both mounted their horses, and im mediately rode off. Instead, however, of going to the north they retired to the neighbourhood of Windsor, where they were married the same day, and in about a week after they went on a tour of pleasure to France. There they passed some months so happily, that in those days, when news papers were scarce, when there was no very regular postal communication, and no telegraphs, they never heard of the uncle's sad fate until. they returned to England.—Dickens's "411 the Year Round." GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—An adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington station, to consider certain bills relating to alterations in lines in connection with this railway. The secretary reported that the bills were not ready, and the meeting therefore stood further adjourned until the 14th instant. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAlLWAY.—Yes :erday a special general meeting, adjourned from a previous day, took place at the Euston station, to consider the pro visions of the following bills—Mr. Richard More in the chair :—A Bill for authorising the Abesystwith and Welsh Coast Railway Company to make and maintain additional lines of railway, and to reclaim lands near to their lime, and to raise farther moneys ; A Bill to enable the Eden Valley Railway Company to construct certain extension and branch railways, to use portions of other railways, and to raise additional capital ; a bill for authorising extensions Dr Ilia Oa nnil Whtt xch Rany,Ety, The chairman announced that neither of the bills referred to was in a sufficiently forward state to be submitted to the shareholders, and therefore the meeting must be adjourned till a future day. The meeting was accordingly adjourned till the 16th July. UNPAID PASSENGERS ON BOARD THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Cork Reporter says that no fewer than 14 men, principally tradesmen, were brought on shore from the Great Eastern by the Queenstown police, who went on board to search for some parties charged with the murder of a policeman in Manchester ; but though not finding the accused, they succeeded in easing the ship of 14 unpaid pas sengers, who had secreted themselves on board at Liver pool, determined to have a free passage across the Atlantic. MR. W. D. SEYMOUR AT SOUTHAMPTON.—Last night Mr. W. D. Seymour addressed a monster meeting of upwards of 2,000 persons. The Mayor of Southampton took the chair. Mr. Seymour denounced the Middle Temple benchers by name, and also the conduct of Mr. Boyd', Q.C., in the House of Commons. He read a cor , , respondence between himself and Sir George Hayter in reference to his having been appointed Recorder of New castle, and in which Sir George denied that the appoint ment was prompted by political motives. A resolution de nouncing the conduct of the benchers towards Mr. Seymour was passed amidst tumultuous cheering and the waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies. Some fearful fights took place, and several parsons who attempted to interrupt the meeting were dragged out and maltreated. Mr. Seymour spoke for nearly three hours. THE CASE OF STABBING IN THE DOVER-ROAD. — This morning Mr. Inspector Tupin and Acting-Inspector Wise, upon proceeding to Guy's Hospital, to inquire into the state of Mr. Jas. Meens, who was fearfully stabbed by the female with whom he cohabited, were informed that the unfortunate man died about 10 o'clock the over night from the effects of the injuries inflicted upon him. As he lay in a state of insensibility when visited by the magistrate, his depositions could not be taken. The deceased was a surgical instrument .maker and flint-glass merchant. PRECIOUS METALS PROTECTION A SSOCIATION.— The annual meeting took place last evening at the Duke of York, Gloucester-street, Mr. Stone in the chair. The report stated that they had recovered goods stolen from their members to the amount of four times the sum received from annual subscribers, and that their success had been great in putting down the wholesale plunder committed on the gold, silver, and watch trade. It also stated that th e association would in no case prosecute when the p t I robbed had not been subscribers for six m entho l ; Y this Th e report was adopted.

THE FIELDFARE.—AII the ornithologists and gene ral naturalists, English and Scotch, that we have read with reference to the fieldfare, class it as a bird of passage, that leaves these islands in spring and returns in autumn. Meyer, in his masterly work, says it is a native of the sombre forests of Europe, that it comes to Britain in November, and that " very few instances of the bird remaining to breed have been authenticated" Knapp, one of the most correct of local observers, in his " Journal of a Naturalist," says that he every year noticed a few field -fares tha t had detached themselves from the main flock, and he adds, "I have reason to believe that these retreats are occasionally formed for the purpose of forming nests, though they are afterwards abandoned without incubation." Fieldfares are resident natives, however, in the Border counties, t t.wd eY sc h oo lb o ys there know their nests and eggs as we ll as ll know those of the hedge-sparrovie_once a irea, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. THE BURIALS BILL. Several petitions were presented against this bill. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir L. PALK said that he felt bound to move as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day three months. He contended that the principle of the measure was of the most objectionable character, as it enunciated the monstrous proposition that the House of Commons was entitled to release a priest from the vows which he had undertaken, a power which the Pope of Rome, in the heigh t of Roman Catholicism, never assumed. By the provisions o f the bill any priest dissenting from the church might set himself up as a preacher of heresy in the very parish wher e he:had been officiating, or if he were so inclined he could divest himself of his ecclesiastical character altogether, and adopt some lay vocation. He urged some other objections to the bill and trusted the house would reject any measure of the kind which, both in principle and as he believed iu practice, would be found mischievous. Mr. LYGON seconded the amendment. Lord HENLEY hoped the house would not refuse to read the bill a third time. He heard nothing during the discussion on the second reading ad anced by those who might be considered the regular representatives of the Church of England, and the bill had been referred to a select com mittee without any valid argument against it. He re garded the bill solely with reference to the interests of the Church of England, and having carefully listened to the evidence adduced before the committee, he came to the con clusion that those interests would:be served by the adoption of this Measure. The bill merely relieved persons from objections which they felt conscientiously could no longer be discharged by them with benefit to themselves in the ' Church of England. He thought it was highly de sirable that persons who were anxious to secede from the Church of England should have an opportunity of doing so, instead of remaining in the Church and teach doctrines he no longer believed. It was very hard that a clergyman should be deprived of any means of obtaining a living by his exertions in a lay pursuit; and such a penalty was holding forth a premium to hypocrisy. A clergyman might suczeed to a large estate, which entailed on him duties that were of an unclerical character, and in a case of that kind it would be most unjust to compel him to remain in the priesthood. Ho objected to the clause in the bill which made bishops pronounce sentence against seceding clergymen, which would have the effect of branding a man for acting in ac cordance with his conscientious convictions. He objected, also, to the clause which prohibited persons, who had once been in holy orders in the Church of England, from becom ing members of this house. After some further discussion, the house divided : For the third reading .. BB Against Majority The announcement of the result was received with loud sheers. CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION DILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved the second reading of this bill. After a short discussion the order for the second reading was discharged. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS BILL. Mr. HENNESSY, in moving the second reading of this bill, cited extracts from a return showing that a large pro portion of the prisoners in the United Kingdom consisted of Roman Catholics, who were about 14 per cent. in the pri sons of England and Wales. He complained that Roman Catholic clergymen were obliged to visit prisoners of their communion separately, and were not allowed an oppor tunity of addressing them together, which he contended was a great hardship on these clergymen. In some cases the visiting justices,acting on a principleof equity, violated the law by allowing Roman Catholic priests admission to the gaols without being subjected to the restriction imposed by the existing statute, a state of things which his measure would abolish. He proposed to give the visiting justices the authority of appointing Roman Catholic chaplains to the Government gaols, and to place the Roman Catholic prisoners on a footing of equality with those of the Church of England. Mr. WHALLEY strongly opposed the bill, which, if passed, would be virtually affirming the principle that reli gious truth was not considered by the legislature of so much importance as religious conviction. The hon. mem ber then contended that Parliament was net justified in making any concessions in favour of Romanism, and denied that a case of hardship had been made out which should in duce the legislature to alter the existing law. Mr. HENLEY differed from the last speaker, and thought that a case of hardship had been made out, and praised the hon. member (Mr. Hennessy) for the tempe rate and argumentative manner in which he had brought 1 this subject before the house. However, he could not sup port the second reading of the bill, because he considered it would not accomplish the desirable object whicl it pro posed. The question involved was surrounded with con siderable difficulty, and he thought a bill on this subject should emanate from the Government, considering the im portance of the matter. Sir G. GREY said that arrangements were in progress in regard to convict prisons to carry out the views of the hon. member (mr.Hennessy).'and he hoped similar arrange ments would be made with reference to the other prisons in the United Kingdom. He agreed with the last speaker as to the difficulties with which this question was attended. Ho trusted that the Government would be able to intro- duce ;Liiion this subject, but he would not pledge himself to the introduction of such a bill. lie trusted, under the circumstances, that the presant bill would not be pressed. Mr. HENNESSY said that he would introduce the bill with the understanding that the Government would take up the important subject. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that he had been entrusted with a petition from the visiting justices of Birmingham against the bill, which the petitioners said would have the effect of preventing Roman Catholic prisoners from seeing Protestant chaplains, and therefore having no opportunity of changing their opinions, if they desired. The hon. mem ber assailed Cardinal Wiseman, whom he described as the temporal officer of the Church of Rome in this country, and Legate Cullen, whose rescripts he described as incendiary. He trusted the house would reject the bill in such a manner as to prove the existence of sound Protestant feeling in the country. Mr. WHALLEY refused to withdraw the amendment, and the motion for the second reading of the bill was nega tived without a division. SALE OF BEER, &c., BILL. Mr. W. E. FORSTER, in moving the second reading of the bill, said that the object he proposed was to enable ersons selling beer to recover money for beer consumed on the premises, provided the score amounted to 20s. Mr. ROEBUCK said that this bill resulted from the sentiments of sour minded men, who believed that they could make persons sober by act of Parliament. He c !7„ ferred to the case of his constituents, who were pr o hl s iP_tt" . .: working men as an illustration of the evil effects ft , u.- - d their bill, which, from the mode of payment adePtreds,.

The right hon. gentleman said that an act was passed in the thirteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, in which it was enacted that all chergings of benefices or ecclesias tical promotion with cure, and not being impropriated with any pension or profit out of the same, should be void. His object in the clause he proposed was to retain that act in full force. Mr. MALINS opposed the clause as he did n ot consider that a beneficed clergyman s hould enjoy any immunity in reference to debts he might contract. Mr. Maims, 1 , " • the Solicitor-General,Cairns, and Mr. Henley opposed, and SirF. Kelly and Mr. Ayrton mu ported the clause. The clause was negatived without a division. ,_ ose I, Sir F.
