STREETFIELD'S FAILURE-ISRAEL T. OASKER AND ANOTHER. Plaintiff is an extensive carcase butcher, of Aldgate, and defendants are large hide salesmen, tanners, and Govern ment contractors, of Bermondsey. Mr. Buchanan stated that his client sought to recover £2O 18s. balance of an account for hides, sold and delivered to defendants. Plaintiff and his witnesses said that the price allowed by defendants (with whom plaintiff had dealt many years) for hides delivered was not fair, nor in accordance with the market price. Mr. Sharpy, counsel for defendant, contended that the price was fair, and called witnesses to prove the depression of the market during the week from the 2d to 7th July In the curse of the case it was stated that on Friday the 27th June the market price was 3s. Bd. to 3s. 9d. per stone. Late on the Monday following and early on Tues day the failure of Messrs. Streetfield, Mortimore, and Co., was announced, and on Tuesday prices fell in some cases to is. 6d:per stone, but ls. Bd. and Is. 9d. generally governed the market. This great fall brought in a lot of jobbing dealers who sold on Friday at 2s. Bd., making a profit of ls. per stone. Up to the present time the hide market has not recovered from the effects of the great failure men tioned, for the reporter was informed that 3s. 4d. is now the price for prime skins. His Honour said in this case there were no facts in dis pute. It appeared that plaintiff had been accustomed to send his hides to defendant, who had from time to time allowed a quantum price regulated by the state of the mar ket. But in the case of the present hides, plaintiff had been allowed a price which was not a fair price, but a panic price, and the price in a panic market is not a quantum value. In this case plaintiff would have a verdict for the value amount. Mr. Shirpe objectedstrongly to the verdict, and a rather warm discussion ensued. Mr. Buchanan applied for costs, which were allowed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAI. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF OBTAINING PIANO FORTES BY FRAUD.—Don Oscar de la Charm, pianiiit * to the Queen of Spain, was charged on a warrant before Mr. Tyrwhitt for being the bailee of certain property, to wit, a pianoforte, belonging to one Charles Holdernesse, of the value of £5O, and feloniously converting the same to his own use. ÷ HOUSE OF L9RDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CIIA CELLOR took his seat on the wool&ack at five o'clock. STATISTICAL CONGRESS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on the part of Lord Brougham, moved that a copy of the fetter written by him, as preEident of the Statistical Congress, might be laid before the house.—Agreed to. THE MARRIAGE LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR then presented 12 petitions from Liverpool, Bath, York,. Torquay, Exeter, and other places against any alteration in the law of marriage. CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, notwitstanding his inclination to agree to the amendments made by the House of Commons in bills generally, he felt it his duty to advise their lordships to disagree to the amendments that had been made in this bill. The anomaly in the law which this bill sought to remedy was such that he did not think that there could have been any objection, but certain alterations that had been made in the bill in the other house were such as to completely defeat the object of the bill. Both sides of their lordships' house had passed the bill, but the Commons proposed to leave out two clauses, the result of which would be to leave the law in the same objectionable state, namely that a marriage would be dis solved on one side of the Tweed and not on the other, therefire the children would be legitimate in one place and illegitimate in the other. He, therefore, advised their lord ships to disagree to the amendments in the hope that the reasons they would give for so doing would be such as to induce the other house to allow the two clauses to remain in the bill. The noble lord concluded by moving that the Commons' amendments be not agreed to, and that a committee be appointed to draw up their lordships' rea sons for refusing to agree to the amendments. The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned for the purpose of enabling the committee to draw up their lordships' reasons for adopting such a course. . In a few minutes the noble and learned lord resumed his seat on the woolsack, and the report was brought up, and ordered to be sent to the Commons. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LAW OF EQUITY BILL. The amendments of the Commons to this bill were con sidered and agreed to. EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. • This bill was read a second time. SPIRIT DUTIES BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this bill. The prisoner was brought from Manchester by Shilling ford, ono of the warrant offrecre of the Clourt, having been taken into custody by him at the Merchants' Hotel, Old ham-street, Manchester. It was there ascertained that ho had three separate lodgings, and at each of them a piano forte. Lord MONTEAGLE disagreed with the increase of the duties on spirits. He thought the bill would fail in its objects, because it went beyond the limits within which it was desirable to keep taxation. When those limits were passed an inducement was given to illicit distillation. Earl GRANYILLE could not agree with the noble lord that this bill went beyond the limits of taxation. The bill was read a second time. Mr. Charles Holdernesse, 444, Oxford• street, pianoforte manufacturer, said that on the 18th July last the prisoner came and said he was about to give a concert at Kensington Palace, and required averygood pianoforte, at the same time handing him a programme, which stated that he was about to give a matinee musicale at Kensington Palace, under the patronage of her Grace the Duchess of Inverness, on Saturday, July 28. He said he wanted it at once, so that he could practise on it, and, having read the programme, he was induced to let him have one of the value of £5O, and to send it to his lodgings at 66, Margaret-street, the terms fixed on for the hiring being 255. a week. He (Mr. Hol dernesse) then had an intimation from Mr. Rolt, pianoforte maker, of the Tottenham-court-road, that he had lent the prisoner a piano, and that he had been endeavouring to sell it in Nassau-street. This was about four or five days after the piano was sent to the prisoner's lodgings, and at once fearing for the safety of the piano he went there, and found the prisoner had left, and that his piano had been pledged at Mr. Attenborough's, in Greek-street for £35. He then made inquiries, and as certained that the prisoner and a Mr. Meyer had been there to pledge another, and also that the prisoner had offered to sell a Mrs. Frazer the duplicate of a piano at the place where he was then lodging in Grosvenor-park, and also received a telegraphic message from Manchester, stating that the prisoner had been endeavouring to ob'ain pianos of Mr. Molineux and others at that place. Mr. Charles Cotten, manager at Mr. Attenborough's, 11, Greek-street, pawnbroker, said that on the 20th of July a gentleman came and asked if they took in pledge pianos. He said they did, but required to see the receipts for them first. The gentleman came the next day and took him to 66, Margaret-street, where the prisoner at the time was playing the piano. He asked if he had bought the piano of a maker, and he said he had not, but of a friend. Zhe next day one of the persons he saw in the room brought what purported to be a receipt for £BO, and signed " A. Adams." This satisfied him, and the next day he sent for the piano and paid the money (£35) to a person who was with the prisoner. Shillingford said the bill was framed in Mr. Holdernesse's name, but was receipted in the name of Adams. He found the prisoner had two or three lodgings, and at each of them he had a piano. Mr. Gastave, 60, Great Russell-street, pianoforte maker, said prisoner came to him and hired the most valuable piano he had, and entered the name of E. A. Meyer in his cash book, and the writing was the same as that on the supposed bill of Mr. Holdernesse. The prisoner had endeavoured to sell it, but he had fortunately made the landlady of the house sign a paper that it should not be taken away. The prisoner was remanded, the officer stating that there would be other cases. The Madrid journals of the 19th contain no political news. The Queen had recovered from a slight indisposition. Several governors of provinces had been removed, and others appointed. A Vienna letter states that a special messenger had arrived there from Rome, bringing an autograph letter from the Pope to the Emperor Francis Joseph. The Prussian Gazette asserts that Prince Fre derick Charles is not the author of the pamphlet attributed to him, concerning the military forces of Prussia. A collision occurred on the 20th between two railway trains, one coming from Genoa and the other from Villanuova. Fourteen travellers were hurt, throe of whom severely; Advices from Chambery of the 20th state that rain had ceased to fall for the two preceding days, and that the weather seemed to hold out promise of improvement. While the Ministers were sitting in council at Turin on the 20th, under the King's personal direction, a despatch arrived which announced that a revolution had broken out in the province of Basilicata, in the kingdom of Naples, and that a part of the troops had fraternised with the insurgents. The King of Sardinia said to Cavour, "It appears the Neapolitans are waking up ; " to which the Minister replied, " I shall believe they are awake when Garibaldi sleeps at Naples." M. Kossuth is now with his family at Gais, in the Canton of St. Gall in Switzerland, for the benefit of his health. The orders for grain transmitted to America and the Continent since Friday last have been extraordinarily large. By the Cunard steamer of Saturday they are be lieved to have been heavier than by any previous packet, in consequence not merely of the state of the London market, but of the rather discouraging charaoter of the accounts from various parts of Europe. The last advices regarding the silver mines of California state that the shipments of ore from San Fran cisco average about 100 tons a month. The per centage of silver is not mentioned, but is probably considerable. One of the principal companies was to declare its first dividend at the be g inning of the present month. N ew m i nes are alleged to have been discovered in another district, whence specimens have been sent, yielding £4OO per ton but the majority of accounts of this kind soon pro,. worthless, ~~ BRITISH MINES.

Betting-7 to 4on Dundee, aryl sto 1 each eget Mag giore and Parasite. Sister to Roesia took the lead at starting, with Parasite second, Dundee third, and Maggiore lying away. Sister to Roesia led to the Middlethorpe turn, where she bolted. The lead was then left with Parasite, who maintained it to opposite the stand, where he was challenged by Dundee, who was in turn collared by Mag giore. A. magnificent race home ensued, Maggiore getting up in the last stride, and making a dead heat of it. Para site was beaten two lengths from Maggiore and Dundee. Sutton was a bad fourth. Deciding Heat.-5 to 4on Dundee, who took the lead at starting, made play throughout at a good pace, and won very cleverly by a length. A. Edwards rode Dundee in the deciding heat. The Ebor St. Leger of 25 sovs. each, for three-year-olds; colt, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b. One mile and three quarters. Lord Zetland's Bivouac (J.

General Hesse cut out the work, at a good pace, Northern Light being at his heels, Bivouac third, and Sampson last. Before half a mile had been tra versed, Sampson was beaten. Bivouac waited on General Hesse and Northern Light to within the distance, when he quitted them, and won in a canter by 10 lengths. There was a length between the second and. third horses. The Prince of Wales Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b. T.Y.C. Mr. Merry's Folkestone, (21b ex.) (Custance) 1 Mr. Jackson's Longshot (21b ex.)

Longshot, Folkestone, and the Voltigeur colt ran nearly level to the half distance. Folkestone then quitted his op ponents, and won very easily by four lengths, and the same interval separated Longshot and Violet, the latter passing Lord Glasgow's colt on the post, and finishing third. The Great Ebor Handicap of 100 sovs added to a sweep and 5 only if declared. Two stakes of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, miles. Lord Glasgow's Pax, 4 yrs, 6st 111 b ...... (A.

Defender, Winkfield, and Julia were the leading trio ; Gladiolus, Hepatica, Pax, Moorhen, and Ancient Briton lying about the middle of the ruck, the tail consisting of Cape Flyaway, First Lord, Artless, an d sm,,nith, nu, latinr at the commencement. Immediately on entering the new course, Moorhen took a clear lead, Defender ru nning in the second place, and no material change was observed in the positions of the remainder of the field. Passing along the wood-side, the lot took closer order, and Satellite got up to the last of the ruck, Cape Flyawarimproving his place. On entering the straight the pace told in the heavy ground, and Moorhen shoNied symptoms of retiring. At the distance, Hepatica, next the rails, headed Moorhen, and was immediately joined by Pax. Before the half distance had been reached it became evident the race was reduced to a match between Hepatica and Pax. A slashing race ensued, Pax fairly collaring Hepatica opposite the Stand, and winning a fine struggle by half a length. First Lord, persevering for a place, passed the lot of beaten horses at the lower end of the en closure, and finished third, but he was beaten at least twenty lengths from Pax and Hepatica. Julia was fourth, and Artless fifth ; and as the others were all pulled up, it would be useless to assign them positions. The last four, however, were Ancient Briton, Winkfield, Springwell, and Satellite, none of which passed the post.

Betting-7 to 2 agst Cynricus, 6to 1 agst Silverhair, 8 to 1 agst Prelude, 10 to 1 each agst Meyerbeer and Eheu, and 12 to 1 agst Longshot. After several attempts the three placed got well off, Silverhair having the command. Below the distance Cynricus challenged Silverhair, and, on nearing the enclosure, the former appeared to have the best of the race, but the young one ttruggling very gamely won a magnificent race by a head, Prelude was a bad fourth.

Mr. CONINGHAM moved for a return of all the plc- Aires purchased for the National Portrait Gallery, with he price paid for each picture, and the name of the person From whom each picture was purchased.—Ordered. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH DUBLIN, Mr. SCULLY asked the Under Secretary to the Trea sury when the new arrangements would commence for facilitating the postal and passenger communication be tween London and Dublin ? Mr. LAING was understood to say that some im pediment had arisen in carrying out :the arrangements in question, but that there would be no unnecessary delay. PARAGUAY AND BUENOS AYRES. In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE, Lord PALMERSTON said that the relationaibetween this country and the Republic of Paraguay had been sus - pended in consequence of the unjust and cruel imprison ment of Mr. Canstatt. That- gentleman was detained a considerable time in custody, and was, he believed, relieved only in consequence of a demonstration made by a British man-of-war in attempting to seize a Paraomyan steam vessel. The English Government demandeecoMpensation for the injury Mr. Canstatt had sustained, but that demand had not been complied with up to the present time. With regard to the other question, it was correct that Buenos Ayres had separated itself from the Argentine Confedera tion, but negotiations were going on for their reunion. In the interim the British envoy would remain at Buenos Ayres. THE SUEZ CANAL. In reply to Mr. H. SEYMOUR, Lord PALMERSToN said it was quite true that the unfortunate Pasha of Egypt had been induced to take a very large number of shares in the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company, an undertaking which, as he had formerly stated, was one of the most remarkable attempts at delusion prac tised in modern times. Several persons in Paris have also been induced to take shares in the undel taking. However, the progress of the works showed clearly that the under taking was impracticable, for it would require an amount of labour and money beyond the power of any company to supply. An unsuccessful attempt had been made to induce the Pasha of Egypt to take more shares. He was not aware that there were any negotiations going on by the British and French Governments in reference to this undertaking. Mr. Cobden had received no instruc tions on this subjeet. That gentleman was authorised to act with Lord Cowley in carrying out the commercia . treaty. THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN. Mr. BRADY asked the First Lord of the Treasury if there were any political difficulties in the way of the pro ject for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, from Caledonia Bay to the Gulf of San Miguel . ; and, if the Government were prepared to co-operate with the Emperor of the French, who had offered to send a vessel of war and a staff of engineers to survey the line, which his Majesty has de clared to be perfectly feasible. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no political im pediment to the construction of a canal crossing the Isth mus of Darien. On the contrary, there was an agreement between the English and the American Government by which protection was to be given to the canal when made. ItAppeued, however, that the undertaking was impracti- cable. _ COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RAJUSA. AND CORFU. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Con• solidation Fund (Appro - priation) Bill. In reply to Mr. S. _FITZGERALD, Mr. LAING said that the Austrian Government had communicated to the Government of this country informa- tion to the effect that they could not carry out the conven tion they had entered into with this country to complete the communication in question, on a guarantee of a pay ment by this country of £15,000 a year for 25 years. The Austrian Government now required that the guarantee should be increased from 25 to 50 years. No doubt the communication with India through the medium in ques • tion was most desirable, but three attempts had already been made to carry out that communication, and with out success. However, Government would do all in its power to effect this communication with India as soon as it could be shown that there was any reasonable chance of success. APPROPRIATION BILL. In reply to some observation of Mr. HANKEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that . . this bill had been printed three times, and he did not think that it was necessary to incur the expense of printing sepa rate copies for each hon. member. However he thought it might be advisable to have a few copies struck 'off and placed in the vote office. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION: BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EXCHEQUER BONDS OR BILLS (£2,000,000: BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. NAVAL DISCIPLINE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DIVORCE COURT BILL.—PRIVILEGE. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned de bate on the second reading of this bill, Lord 'PALMERSTON said that he fully concurred with the right hon. gentleman (the Speaker), that the fifth clause of the bill was an infringement of the privileges of the house by the House of Lords. He thought hon. members would do well to adopt the recommendation of the right hon. gentleman—namely, notwithstanding the informality of the bill, not to reject it. The House of Lords had sub sequently abstained from acting in regard to other bills as they had done with respect to this, and he would move that the bill be read a second time. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. GRAHAM said though in the first instance he thought they should reject the bill, still on consideration he agreed with the noble lord the First Lord of the Treasury. The peers had been under an impression that they had powers with regard to money bills, and he thought that the time had arrived when some check should be imposed on them. He thought that check had been given by the right hon. gentleman the Speaker. After some remarks by Mr. E. James, Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Melina, and Mr. Whalley, Mr. WHITE suggested that the bill should be rejected, in order to mark their disapprobation of the conduct of the other house. Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his motion that the bill should be laid aside. The SPEAKER explained that the effect of what had taken place would be to confine the practise to which the House of Lords had resorted to within proper limits, and that any bill in future coming from that house in regard to money should be in the form of suggestion. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then withdrawn. On the motion for the second reading, Mr. MALINS objected to the principle of this bill. The hon. and learned member said that no less than 19 mar riages had been dissolved in the Divorce Court in only six hours, according to the statement of the hon. and learned member for Marylebpne (Mr. E.-James). There were be tween 200 and 300 applications for dissolution of marriage, and he considered that the interests of society demanded that every precaution should be taken to prevent the solemn ties of marriage being dissolved by collusion be tween parties who might have grown tired of each other. He had a very high opinion of the learned judge who pre sided in the Divorce Court, but he considered that the Court should consist of three, or at all events two judges, in dealing with a matter of so much importance as dissolu tion of marriage. He trusted that now, at the close of the session, this bill would not be passed, and he gave notice that if they went into committee on it, he would moy_e n that .ee its operatipn would be . limited to one year. He would this day by moving that the bill be read a second time. this day six months. Sir G. BOWYER seconded the amendment. He had, on a form er occasion, designated the Divorce Court an en cumbered estate court, for the transfer of women ; and he believed in a large number, if not a majority, of cases decrees of dissolution of marriage had been procured by col lusion. He considered the court as a place which was resorted to by pereoas of morbid tastes, and, in many instaneec, it was frequented by persons who wished only to obtain hill formation as to the best means of obtaining a dissolution of marriage. The court was therefore not only one for grant ing divorce, but also a school for tracing the mode of get ting such divorce. He strongly objected to giving sole jurisdiction to one judge. Mr. E. JAMES said that the bill before the house was merely introduced for the purpose of facilitating the vast amount of business that had flowed into the Divorce Court, and the principle as to the advantage or disadvantage of the court as an institution was not involved. He contended that a single judge was responsible individually, and there fore was likely to be more attentive than if he sat with. other judges. He alluded to the case of a gentleman whose wife had eloped with his footman, and who was at present receivinc , £3,000 a year from him. That ease was put down for Julflast, and it was probable that it would not come on till July next. In the mean time the adulterer would be enjoying the alimony granted by the husband; and if the latter died before the case came on for trial his children and his property would be at the disposal of the faithless wife. There was no necessity whatever for more than one judge, and when other judges were called in to decide on matters of form, they sat looking at each other like the Rcman augurs, and wondering what they were brought there for. He thought that some of the clauses might be altered with advantage, but he trusted that the house would not reject the bill. Mr. SPOONER supported the amendment, as he con sidered vesting full jurisdiction in a single judge would be prejudicial to the interests of society. Mr. HENNESSY also supported the amendment. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said he felt very deeply the delay that had taken place in bringing forward this bill, but if they retraced the business of the session they would perceive that that delay had been caused by compulsion. He could only have brought it on after 12 o'clock at night, and would be justly exposed to the censure of the house if he adopted that course. He said that the bill was unfairly treated, and it was a measure merely for dispensing with the necessity of having the presence of 'three judges on all occasions when a dissolution of marriage was applied for ; but it left it to the discretion of the Judge-Ordinary to call in the assistance of judges when he deemed it desir able. There were clauses in the bill that rendered the evils apprehended by certain honourable members most unlikely to occur ; and, with regard to collusion, after the most careful investigation he could not find any ground for a reasonable belief that there had been more than four or five instances of collusion in the cases that came before the court. He believed that a full court would not afford the same facilities for detecting eollusiqn that would be provided under the present bill. After a few words from Mr. GniFFirn,the house divided—. For the second reading.. 43 Against it .. ll Majority —32. The bill was accordingly read a second time The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appealed to the house to go into committee on the bill without delay. Mr. MALINS said that he felt bound to bow to the ma jority of the house, and therefore would not offer any fur ther impediment to the progress of the bill. Mr. HENNESSY could not consistently consent to the further progress of the bill. The house then went into committee on the bill. The various clauses having been agreed to with verbal amendments, Mr. MALINS moved the addition of a clause limiting the operation of the measure to the 31st of July, 1861. His object in proposing the amendment was to afford time for the reconsideration of the question next session. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would accept the amendment if the hon. member would substitute 1862 for 1861. Mr. MALINS assented to the suggestion, and the clause as amended, and preamble, were agreed to. The bill passed through committee and the house re sumed. TRUSTEES, MORTGAGEES, &c.,_BILL. On the order for going into committee on this bill, Mr. MALINS said that he believed no learned member of the house was aware that the Government would pro ceed with the bill this session, and he hoped they would postpone it till next year. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should not feel surprised at legal gentlemen opposing the bill, as the object was, to a great extent, to remove the immense encum brances of legal phraseology, and he trusted he should be enabled to carry out that principle throughout legislation. (Hear.) He trusted the house would agree to go into com mittee on the bill. The house then went into committee on the bill. On clamie 1, Mr. MALINS said he had heard of no objection to the bill being advanced by any member of the legal profession on the ground named by the Attorney-General; but as the measure affected a large portion of the profession he thought they should have a better opportunity of considering it. Clauses 1 to 3 were then agreed to. On clause 4, Sir F. GOLDSMID moved an amendment restricting the power of trustees to invest money arising from the sale of freeholds in leaseholds which had not less than 60 years to run. The AT T ORNEY- GENERAL expressed his concurrence with the motion, and the clause was amended accordingly. Clauses up to 35 were agreed to. On clause 36, Mr. BUTT complained of the great rapidity with which this bill had been passed through the house, allowing ne time whatever for the examination of the clauses. Mr. MALINS said he hoped that if the hon. and learned Attorney-General should be in office next year, both he and the Government would prevent this monstrous ? state of things again occurring. There had been really no time for the discussion of the measure. It had been brought on at the last moment, and they were obliged to run through it; and though they were both law reformers he ventured to predict that such proceedings would endanger the cause. THE CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The amendments to this bill were considered. Mr. BUTT moved the expulsion of clause 43. Sir J. GRAHAM concurred in the motion, believing that it would have the effect of depriving parish clerks who were freeholders of their right to vote at elections. Mr. DEASY said the clause had not been prop osed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and he should r. o t object to its' expulsion. The clause was accordingly struck out of the bill. The other amendments were agreed to, and on the motion of Mr. Deasy the bill was read a third time and passed. THE POOR -LAW OFFICERS SUPERANNUATION BILL. On the motion of Sir G. C. LEWIS, The order for the second reading of this bill was dis charged. THE UNION OF BENEFICES BILL. The amendments to this bill were considered. Mr. H. SEYMOUR moved the following clause : That no church, house, building, land, and heredibllment shall be sold under the provisions of this act, unless public notice thereof shall have been given in the London Gazette, and in three of the London daily papers, and tenders invited for the sale thereof, and that such property shall be sold to the person sending in the highest bona fide tender. Mr. BO UVERIE opposed it on the ground that it might prevent a public body purchasing the site of a church which might be required for public improvements. After some further discussion the clause was necatived, and the other amendments were agreed to, On the motion that the bill be read a third time., Mr. MALINS, on the part of the lay impropriator of the tithes of Great St. Helen's, wished to correct a misstatement which had been made by the hon. member for hull in re ference to the amount of tithes. It had been stated that the tithes had been purchased for the sum of £3,ooo—that the income was £1,700 a-year, and that some of the tithes had been raised from 15s. to as much as £lO 10s. Nov he held in his hand a statement of the gentleman to whom re ference had been made, in which he asserted that the in come was not £1,700, but was under £350, that the legal amount authorised to be raised was 2s. 9d. in. the pound, and the highest amount ever levied was ls. in the pound. He felt it but just to make this statement, and he would add, that although the gentleman belonged to the legal profession he had never had a lawsuit on the subject of tithes in his life. Mr. TITE said he had spoken of two parishes, and it was in the other parish where the litigation commenced. It was not denied that the gentleman had purchased the rectory for a very small sum. Mr. MALINS—At a public auction, for, in. reality, the sum of L 6,500. Mr. TITE said the rector was paid only £2oo' ta-year, and he had himself, when churchwarden, gone mune I the parish to raise a sum for him for additional remuneration. He had merely stated the facts as he believed they existed in the parish, and he begged it to be distinctly -understood that he had spoken of the forbearance of the gentleman to whom reference had been made by the hon. and learned member, but he should be glad to put all the facts right if more time could be given for the purpose, and il 7 they were of more importance. . The bill was then read a third time and pass :a. THE MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were their considered . Mr. AYRTON moved as an amendment upon the Lords' amendment in reference to the education of chi ldren ' that they should receive three hours' instruction a day three times a week. Ile would strike out "twenty 1 sours," and substitute three days. Mr. CLIVE agreed with his hon. and learned friend that the Lords had rapidly and unceremoniously uau done all the labours of the Commons with respect to these billls. How ever, as the mining population seemed to think it a great improvement on the existing law, he should „recommend the house to agree to the Lords' amendments, with the alteration suggested by bis hon. and learned friend. After au observation from Mr. CRAUFURD t Mr. KINNAIRD hoped that some further inquiry would be institutei on the subject between this and nex t session. Sir G. C. LEWIS regretted the changes which the Lords had thought right to make in this bill, but still • thought it would be better to pass it in its present form thz m to make the alterations suggested by the hon. and learned member for the Tower Hamlets. The amendment was agreed to, as were the remainder of the Lords' amendments. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.
