This was an appeal from the decision of Vico-Chancellor Wood, dismissing the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of an agreement for the lease of a clay field for making fire-bricks, glass, and china, at Tenby, Wales, at a tonnage royalty. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard in reply for the appellant. The Lord Chancellor reserved judgment till first day of next term, and rose for the long vacation. The Lord Chancellor refused Mrs. Cobbett's application on affidavit for the release of her husband from prison. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) His Honour was the only sitting Commissioner, and the only cases in the list were three choices, and these were not of the slightest interest. THE TVALWORTH MURDERS. During the examination at the police court a young woman sat at the solicitors' table, and frequently sobbed aloud, especially while the letters were read which the pri soner Youngman had addressed to Mary Wells Streeter, and which were found in her writing-desk by her father after her melancholy death. The young woman, on being questioned as to the cause of her grief, stated that the letters were identical in expression with those which the prisoner had addressed to herself many months ago, when he courted her in Staffordshire. Some of these letters she showed to the persons sitting near her, and they were in many cases word for word the same as those before the court. In these letters Youngman, who at that time passed under the name of Godfrey, made violent protestations of love to the young woman, who held a situation in the family of a gentleman in Staffordshire, and, as in the case of Mary Wells Streeter, implored her to allow him to assure her life. He told her also, as he more recently told the unfor- tunate Mary Wells Streeter, that he was possessed of inde pendent property, and that he should have plenty of money after his marriage, but that meanwhile the young woman must provide as much as she possibly could to meet the expenses of the wedding day. Curiously also he had made arrangemeits for the wedding to be celebrated in the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, in which the banns between him and Mary Wells Streeter were read for the last time on the Sunday immediately preceding the murder. While these negotiations were going on, and after obtain ing the young woman's consent to accompany him to Aus tralia, he committed a burglary, and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. It appears that he pledged his coat to buy the wedding ring, which he left in the charge of the young woman, and she when Youngman was arrested pledged the ring and bought him flannel jackets to wear in prison. He managed to communicate with her and to ob tain from her a promise that she would marry him at th• expiration of the term of imprisonment, but before he was liberated she left the place she was in and came to London, and he never saw her again until yesterday morning, when, by the permission of the police authorities, she was admitted to his room upon the condition that they were not to shake hands or to communicate with each other in any way except in the presence of the police. The prisoner appeared to be astounded wken the young woman entered the room ; he placed both hands before his face, turned away from her, and could not be induced to say a word. She sat below him in the police court nearly the whole of the day, but he never looked to. wards her, keeping his eyes steadily fixed upon the witL nesses as one after another appeared in the box. The young woman also states that when the prisoner was introduced to her father as her future husband, he mad• very strong objections, observing that ho did not believe that he was a man of independent property, and that he did not at all like the look of him. He strongly advised his daughter to break off the match, but she fancied that her father was unreasonably prejudiced, and the correspon dence between them went on until Youngman was con victed of the burglary for which he suffered 12 months' is• carceration. The funeral of the unfortunate Mrs. Youngman and her two sons, Charles and Thomas, took place this morning at the Woking Cemetery. The bodies were removed last night from the Newington Workhouse privately, and the only persons in attendance, as mourners, were the husband of the deceased and her son John. It has transpired that insanity will be proved at the trial of more than one msmber of the family on the mother's COURSE OF EXCHANGE.—YESTERDAY.

Mr. Chidley, of Basinghall-street, appeared on behalf of a bankrupt, named Lawson, to apply for his discharge from custody. The bankrupt was described as of Bombay, and late of Fenchurch-street, ship and insurance broker. Mr. Anderson, a solicitor and execution creditor, saiil he wished to put a few questions to the bankrupt before any order was made. The bankrupt, in answer to the question put to him, said the only tangible property at present was £3OO, due to him from the Government at Bombay. He had been compelled to come from that place very suddenly (per overland route), having been called home, and could he have remained but a day or two longer he would have had the money. After he had arrived in England his solicitors, Messrs. Martin, Son, and Elar, sent out a power of attorney to a Parsee, in whom he had great confidence, to receive the money—this being 12 months since. Up to this time he had received no ex planation on the point : but from other sources it was as certained that the money was still in the hands of the Go vernment. He had been engaged in the transport of troops during the war, and had a claim of £1,343, but it had been referred to arbitration. His Honour—How long have you been in prison ? Bankrupt—Fifteen months. His Honour—Why did you remain in prison so long ? Bankrupt—l was in expectation of receiving the £1,343. Mr. Anderson would reserve any further questions till the balance-sheet. His Honour granted the immediate discharge. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAI.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARTFUL ROBBERY AT A WATCHMAKER'S.—Henry Johnson, a shabby-looking man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a timepiece of the value of £6, the property of Mr. A. Thomson, watchmaker, 25, New Bond street, under the following artful circumstances : From the evidence of 'William Henstock, porter to Mr. Thomson, it appeared that while taking down the shop shutters this morning, about half-past seven, a man came up to him and asked to be directed to Gloucester-street, St. James's, evidently for the purpose of distracting his attention from the shop door. Having told the man there was no such street he left, and as he (witness) was return ing to the shop he saw the prisoner emerging from the doorway with something bulky under his coat. He fol lowed him into Evans's yard, where the prisoner threw the timepiece in a dung-pit; and on his telling him he had stolen something he said, " Oh, you are mistaken." He then gave him in charge, and on going back to the pit found the timepiece, glass, and stand, the property of his master. Sergeant Basin proved taking prisoner into custody, and said he had been at the court before. Prisoner being asked if he was guilty nodded an affirma- Lye, and Mr. Tyrwhitt•having stated his belief that it was a planned robbery, committed him for three months with hard labour, THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A MANILLA SAILOR.-SiStO Rogue, a native of Manilla, belonging to a Spanish ship in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with assaulting Michael Kelly, a boy, who appeared in court with a severe bruise on his face and his lips swollen. The complainant is a shoeblack, and was soliciting custom near the London Dock, when the prisoner and some of his countrymen, who were all the worse for liquor, made their appearance, and began skylarking. The prisoner kicked the complainant's box of blacking and brushes into the road, and while the boy was picking them up, he stepped back and then ran towards him and kicked him violently on the mouth, and, according to the evidence of one of the witnesses, " set the boy all in a pour of blood," and from the evidence of another, " the boy was smothered in blood." Mr. Yardley said that few witnesses could give their evidence without exaggeration, or being figurative. No doubt the boy lest some blood. There was, however, no occasion to exaggerate matters. The prisoner, a very ordinary specimen of the Manilla people, said he was ill-used and thrown down by the shoe black boys. He called no witnesses; and it was proved that it was not until after the prisoner had wantonly in jured the poor and industrious Irish boy's property and brutally kicked him that other boys interfered somewhat roughly, and secured the Manillaman. Mr. Yardley was in hopes the prisoner had kicked the boy by accident. It was not so, and the prisoner must pay a fine of 405., or be imprisoned one month. THIS DA Y'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very seantily supplied with home grown wheat, coastwise and by land-carriage. Owing chiefly to the unfavourable change in the weather, the de mand for all kinds was firm, and Monday's prices were free* supported. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Importers were very firm, and several parcels changed hands for in land consumption at extreme rates. Floating cargoes com manded very full prices. Nearly the whole of the barley on show was disposed of, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Malt was a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. The oat trade was very firm, and good sound parcels were rather dearer. Beans, peas, and flour commanded quite Monday's cur rency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

A prospectus has been issued of the Gellivara Company for purchasing an estate of that name in Sweden, • ' comprising 1,200,000 acres of mineral and forest land. The proposed capital is £850,000, in £lO shares, of which a cer tain portion are to be entitled to a preferential dividend not exceeding 8 per cent., while the remainder are to be entitled to the whole of any surplus revenue. The contemplated operations include the construction of a railway from the ironworks to the sea, a distance of 111 miles, at a cost of £470,000, the manufacture of deals and beards, and the encouragement of immigration. Originally the whole of the estates were purchased from the late King by an asso ciation of merchants, and the price now to be paid for them, ironworks. farms, sawmills, and ship buildingshares, and £200,0 00 in ordinary shares. including yards, sso,oo n guaranteed or preference furnaces, DEATH FROM FIGHTING.—On Monday n'gitt a fight took .place in Southampton between two boatmen, named Saunders and Welch, in which Saunders was killed. Welch is a notorious pugilist., EXTRAORDINARy METEOR. The New York papers contain diagrams and lengthy accounts of a very brilliant meteor which appeared on the 20th. The _Herald alludes to it as follows :—" At about a quarter before 10 o'clock on Friday evening, the atmosphere being very sultry, and no perceptible motion in the air, a light cloud appeared in the west, from which a blue-tinted lu minous globule shot out, which at the first glance suggested to the spectators the idea of an artificial firework. Instantly it lost its globular form, burst ing, like an immense skyrocket, into four portions. The first two are represented .by one of our corre spondent as resembling brilliantly illuminated chan deliers, with innumerable jets of purple flame ; the others were globular, and comparatively small, appearing rather as the tails of the first. They main tained their relative distance as they flew athwart the sky from west to east, occupying in their flight something like a minute. Whether they vanished in air or fell on the land or sea.we have not yet as certained. About a minute after their passage a detonation was heard, as from a piece of ordnance ; but whether it proceeded from the bursting of the meteor is a matter of conjecture. One very curious optical delusion which it gave rise to is worthy of remark. To the spectators it appeared to be no higher than from a quarter to half a mile, and to be almost directly over their heads ; and yet, when the fact is considered that it was witnessed under alnaost identical circumstances at Philadelphia, some 90 miles south-west of New York; at New Haven, 80 miles east; at Barnegat, 40 miles south; and at Newburg, on the Hudson, 60 miles north, it will be perceived that the idea of its insignificant eleva tion was most delusive. It must have been at an immense elevation to have been seen at these widely remote points, and to have presented at all of them the same appearance of being so nearly in the zenith. It is also to be remarked, in connection with the meteor, that for the previous two or three nights brilliant flashes of the aurora borealis have illumined the northern skies—a most unusual dis play in the dogdays, and one which we only look for in the late fall and winter months. The aurora is generally supposed to indicate clear cold. weather, but in this case it has been followed by an oppres sively sultry state of the atmosphere, thus contra dicting our previously conceived notions. It is also very closely connected in point of time with the solar eclipse, which took place last Wednesday morning." SERIOUS RIOT ON THE BORDER UNION RAIL WAY.—On Thursday last, Chief Constable Everitt and Sergeant Guild, of the Roxburghshire constabulary, ac companied by two constables, proceeded to the works on the Border Union Railway at Shankend, about nine miles from Hawick, to apprehend a navvie for an offence com mitted near Stirling. The man was informed by the con stable that he was to go to the Turf Hotel to be examined, and at first he proceeded quietly along with them. After proceeding a short way, however, he wished to return for his coat, to which the police objected. He then endeavoured to escape from them, when he was seized and thrown down, and the police, after considerable trouble, succeeded in putting a handcuff on one arm. The struggle having been observed by a party of navvies, they ran to the rescue, and cried to the prisoner to kick the officers. He followed their advice, but would have eventually been overpowered had not his companions rushed on to assist him and force a rescue. The man's wife was very active in endeavouring to assist her husband. Sergeant Guild was severely struck, and cut on the face, and Mr. Everitt received a severe blow on the side from a large stone. Another man ran and swore he would stab the chief constable with a pitchfork, which he pointed at him, if he did not leave off. The police were compelled, under the circumstances, to abandon the attempt to secure the man. The leaders in the rescue are well known. — Caledonian Mercury. THE HOP DISTRICTS.—The state of the hop plantation is at the present moment in the highest degree critical. Considering that the weather is wholly unexam pled since the year 1816, the bine, where the cultivation is good and the manuring high, appears to be flourishing; but on closer inspection it is found to be full of vermin, chiefly lice, with here and there a great deal of fly and aphides. From the reports we receive from other districts we believe there are few parishes in the county which have not suffered more than those in the neighbourhood of Maidstone. — Maidstone Journal. BLUEJACKETS IN NEW ZEALAND.—I can only, in passing, notice the gallant exploit of Captain Cracroft, of the Niger, and his band of bluejackets. This feat has done much in the way of intimidation ; the Maori now dreads the sight of a sailor. Cracroft, however, had a nar row escape ; as he and his men were entering the pah, pell mell with the insurgents, a native took deliberate aim at him, and was in the act of firing, when a sailor, who saw him, cut him down. An amusing episode, it is said, took place in the pah. £lO reward had been proclaimed for the man who took the rebel flag. Four sailors got hold of it simultaneously, and in their eagerness to secure the prize they temporarily forgot the hubbub around them,and their own danger, and began to pummel each other with 'their fists.—New Zealand Examiner. PRINCE LUCIEN BONAPARTE.—This member of the Bonaparte family, who has attained an honourable position in connection with scientific pursuits, has recently visited Norfolk for the purpose of taking " rubbings" of the monumental brasses in some of the churches. The Prince, it will be remembered, has also devoted much atten tion to the peculiarities of the provincial dialects of Eng , land, in which country he is a permanent resident.

The following is the text, as published iu the Illoniteur, of the first protocol of the conference held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 33 August : " His Imperial Majesty the Sultan wishing to arrest, by prompt aid and efficacious measures, the effusion of blood in Syria, and to show his firm resolutions to assure order and peace among the populations under his sovereignty ; and their Ma jesties the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of Austria, and the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Prussia, and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, having offered their active co-operation, which his Majesty the Sultan has accepted, the representatives of their said Majesties and of his Royal Highness have agreed to the following articles : "' Art. 1. A corps of European troops, which may be 'raised to twelve thousand men, shall be despatched to Syria to contribute to the re-esta blishment of tranquillity. " Art. 2. His Majesty the Emperor of the French consents to supply immediately one-half of that body of troops. Should it become neces sary to raise the effective to the number stipulated in the preceding article, the High Powers would without delay come to an understanding by the usual diplomatic channels, to decide which of them should supply the troops required. " Art. 3. The commandant-in-chief of the ex pedition shall, on arriving, enter into communica tion with the extraordinary commissioner of the Porte, in order to combine all the measures required by the circumstnnces, and to take up such positions as it may be necessary to occupy for the purpose of accomplishing the object of the present act. " Art. 4. Their Majesties the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Prussia, and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, engage to maintain a naval force sufficient to contribute to the success of the common efforts for the re-estab- lishment of tranquillity on the coast of Syria. " ' Art. 5. The High Contracting Parties, being convinced that such a period will suffice to attain the end of pacification which they have in view, fix at six months the duration of the occupation of the European troops in Syria. " Art. 6. The Sublime Porte engages to facili tate to the utmost of its power the supply of pro visions and stores for the expeditionary corps.' " It is understood that the six preceding articles are to be textually converted into a convention, which shall receive the signatures of the represen tatives undersigned as soon as they have the full powers of thetr Sovereigns to that effect ; but that the stipulations of this protocol shall take effect immediately. "The Prussian Charge d'Affaires, however, has observed that the actual distribution of the Prussian vessels of war may not, permit his Government to co-operate at present in the execution of Art. 4.

The second Protocol of the conference, held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the aboye•men tioned date, runs thus : " The plenipotentiaries of France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, wishing, in conformity with the intentions of their respective Courts, to make known the real character of the assistance afforded to the Sublime Porte, according to the terms of the protocol this day signed, as well as the sentiments which dictated to them the clauses of this act and their perfect disinterestedness, de clare, in the most formal manner, that the contract ing Powers have no intention to prosecute, and will not prosecute, in the execution of their en gagements, any territorial advantage, any exclu sive influence, or any concession affecting the com merce of their subjects, and which would not be granted to the subjects of all other nations. " Neverthess, they cannot refrain, while re calling the acts emanating f r o m hi s Majesty the Sultan, of which Art. 9 of the treaty of the 9th of March, 1856, shows the high value, to express the importance which their respective Courts at tach to the fact that, in conformity with the solemn promises of the Sublime Porte, serious administra tive measures should be adopted for ameliorating the condition of the Christian population of all communions throughout the Ottoman Empire. " The plenipotentiary of Turkey takes cogni sance of this declaration of the representatives of the High Powers, and undertakes to transmit it to his Court, at the same time observing that the Sublime Porte has exerted and will continue to exert its efforts in realising the wish above ex pressed. Given at Paris, the 3d day of August, 1860, in six copies. _ _ " THOUVENEL, " COWLEY, " KISSELEFF, " METTERNICH, " REUSS, " AIIMET VEFYK." PLAIN SPEAKING OF MR. COBDEN. The Paris correspondent of the New York Herald, in his account of the celebration of " Ame rican Independence Day" at Pads, gives us a repoi t of Mr. Cobden's opinion on English topics : " Mr. Cobden and his wife and daughter were there ; Sir Joseph 011iffe, physician to the American as well as the English Embassy, and the correspondent of the New York Herald were among the few English. Among the French was Prince Polignac. About six o'clock the dancing ceased in order to listen to an address from Mr. Faulkner, concluded with a reading of the American Declaration of Independence. Mr. Faulkner is not a fluent speaker, but everything he said was appropriate to the occasion and in good taste. He alluded to the assistance America had received from France in her hour of distress in terms of warm eulogy, and, while dwelling in strong language on the conduct of the British, made a graceful allusion to the fact of some indivi duals of the old country being present on that oc casion. At the conclusion of the reading of the Declaration three cheers were called for, and every hat, hand, and handkerchief was raised, while the welkin rang with the vociferous cheers the children of America poured forth with patriotic energy. Some of the English were thanked by the smiles and courtesies of the ladies for their hearty parti cipation in the scene. ' Oh,' said one of them in my hearing, with visible emotion, whatever may be said or done, there is not a child in America that does not love with all his heart the old, old country, the land of his fathers, the proud proge nitors of his race.' Pity, said Mr. Cobden, in his mild, benevolent manner, the separation had not taken place without fighting. We are both better as we are, only we do not think of this in time. There was no other speaking. Mr. Cobden was, of course, one of the lions of the evening, and charmed all by the cordial and flattering eulogies he passed upon the people of the United States. Prince Polignac, by his own desire, was introduced to him by Sir Joseph 011iffe. Mr. Cob den particularly expatiated upon the rapid strides America was making in the arts, and mentioned some beautiful specimens of sculpture he had him self inspected, by native artists. He said that when America began, as she would before long, to compete with the best European artists in this department, many who at present were blind to her wonderful progress would begin to open their eyes. He instanced the Marquis of Lansdowne. When, said he, I spoke to the old man about the gigantic strides of the United States, he listened benignly, but not curiously ; but when I spoke of facts connected with the arts, and said that the time was approaching when their specimens would be gladly received as imports in England, the old man pricked up his ears and seamed struck with astonishment.' Mr. Cobden talked much of the tedium he had to go through in respect of the commercial treaty between France and England. He evidently found the French very little in all their commercial notions, mon strously fond of money, but all after a penurious fashion. Of the Emperor he spoke in terms of unqualified praise. He thought his views large, and his objects thoroughly honest. He did not believe there was the slightest occasion for the present alarm on the part of England, and that the whole existing panic was stimulated by arti• ficial means. The war class—always the aristo. cratic—had, he said, a substantial interest in the lavish war expenditure. Every additional ship built and fitted out whetted the appetite for more good things, and so it went on. One thing was intolerable, and that was the volunteer system. Either the additional £30,000,000 are sufficient for the defence of the country or they are not, said he, and the volunteer system is only lighting the candle at both ends, for the Ministers' demands being sup plied, the people are giving him the force their supplies have enabled him to buy. The conse quence is, jobbery is more rife than ever. He thought it a sad mistake permitting the Queen to fire off the first rifle at the rifle competition, and that Prince Albert's rifle monomania*as simply so much Germanism under the niaik of English patriotism." MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The depression still continues in thi s market. There is a daily drooping of prices, and the demand is con siderably below the supply both in yarns and also in cloths. The export merchants are indisposed to buy, anticipating still lower prices. The home trade, for the same reason buy only sparingly ; and generally the m ar k e t i s qu iete r ana duller than last week, MIR D EDITION . SUN OF.FICE, Seven o'clock. lINIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tuis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock. CHURCH RATES. Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that early next session he would bring in a bill to amend the law relating to church rates. __ ___ _ UNION OF BENEFICES BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained of the manner in which public business was conducted. The present bill was brought dower ready made from the House of Lords at a period of the session when it could not pass without a dig cussion. The fact of the bill being brought before the 'louse of Commons at that period of the session, and so early in the day, when they could scarcely muster a sufficient number of members to make a house, rendered it impossible that the measure could receive the necessary discussion. This was not properly legislating on a measure of such im portance. Mr. HENLEY said that in this bill the bishop, the clergy, and the patrons were well cared for. He objected to that part of the bill which related to the removal of the dead, and he certainly would divide the house on that point The house then went into committee on the bill. Mr. GRIFFITH said there was no one on the Ministe rial bench who was responsible for the bill, and he would move that the chairman report progress. Mr. B AIVERIE said that the bill had undergone much discussion in the Upper House. It was in his charge, and he brought it on as early as was in his power. Mr. JOHN LOCKE considered that the members of the City of London ought to have had charge of the bill. It certainly had nothing to do with Kilmarnock. (Hear, hear.) The Bishop of London had opposed the demolition of churches in the City for the purpose of making London bridge. He was not of opinion that London was destitute of churches ; but if they placed clergymen in them who could not preach, of course congregations would not be at tracted. Mr.CRAWFORD, as one of the members of the City of London, said he thought it would not be courteous to the hon. member for Kilmarnock to take the bill out of his hands, simply because he representel one of the five cities affected by the bill. The measure was introduced into the other house by the Bishop of London, and its provisions were well known. r Mr. AYRTON supported the bill, and said that the pre sent state of things was most objectionable. The only question was as to the mode in which a remedy should be applied, and ho hoped the house would be rational enough to prefer the interests of the souls of the living to the bones of the dead. Let the bones of the dead be treated with respect, as no doubt they would be under the provisions of the bill, but he trusted it would not be said that when the making of a dock or railway was concerned, ;it was quite easy to have churches and the bones in church yards removed. There was no difficulty experienced, but when the interests of religion were involved it was another ease altogether. He hoped that, although the bill might be amended in passing through committee, its main object would receive the support of the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman CUBITT said it could not be denied that several churches would require to be removed, and in one place there were about fifty-eight churches in an area of about half a square mile. He considered it was obvious that same remedy was required for the existing evils, and he thought all the details might be arranged without diffi culty. Mr. HUBBARD said that he did net think the house were sufficiently acquainted with the principle of the bill. Were the house aware of the manner in which the bill was read a second time ? At a quarter to one o'clock in the morning an hon. gentleman was asleep at the end of one of the benches. He was roused by a touch of the elbow and the words, "Union of Benefices Bill." He then jumped up, and all he (Mr. Hubbard) heard was the word " Monday," and he discovered that the bill had actually passed a second reading. (Laughter.) Under these circumstances he con sidered that the bill required at least a little more illustra tion. Against the bill of 1854 there was a very general feeling outside the house, and why, he would ask, should a bill conferring equally large powers be introduced ? Why should not the arrangements of a certain group, which re quired amendation, be made the subject of a specific pro position ? Mr. BOUVERIE said that this bill hal been on the table of the house six weeks, and no objection was made to its principles. The fact was, that the present state of things required great, improvement, as it presented a very ano melons condition. In some parishes with a population of 50,000 or 60,000 there were 50 or 60 churches, while other parishes were without any adequate provision. In other places there were no congregations, owing to the ground being occupied with warehouses. After some discussion it was agreed by the hon. member in charge of the bill that its operation should be limited to the metropolis. The amendment waq negatived without a division. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. MALIisTS said that he did not consider the house possessed the necessary materials for legislating on this subject at present, and concluded by moving that the chair man leave the chair. After some romarksfrom Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Henley, Sir G. Lewis, and other hon. members, the house divided— For the amendment l6 Against 76 Majority .. —6O The clause was then agreed to, with some alteration, as were clauses 3 to 6 inclusive. On clause 7, Mr. HADFIELD wished to be informed what was meant by the words " spiritual destitution" in the bill. Was it merely to be understood as meaning Church desti tution, ignoring altogether the spiritual instruction sup plied by the Nonconformist body. Mr. BOUVERIE said that the meaning of the words " spiritual destitution," as he understood them, was the absence of spiritual instruction, in which condition were several populous districts of the metropolis. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir G. LEWIS said that the population of the City of London was about 55,000, and there were 58 churches. There was a considerable deficiency in the means of afford ing spiritual instruction, which coild be remedied only by the passing of this bill. The clause was agreed to, as well as clause 8. On clause 9, Lord J. MANNERS considered that the powers con ferred on the Ecclesiastical Commissioners by the clause were too extensive, and that these powers with reference to the building of churches should rather be entrusted to the governors of Queen Anne's bounty. Mr. BOUVERIE said that there was no other body be sides the Ecclesiastical Commissioners who would be an adequate machinery for the discharge of the duties con fided to them by the present bill. After some discussion the committee divided, and the numbers were— For the clause . . 73 Against Majority.. 4 —34 The clause was accordingly adopted. Clauses 10 to 12 were agreed to. On clause 13, _ _ _ Mr. D. GRIi'FITHS moved the addition, at the end of the clause, of words to the effect, that before any scheme for annexation, severance, or union of parishes be carried out, it should be laid on the table for two calendar months pre viously. ' After some conversation the amendment was negatived without a division, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 14, Mr. HENLEY said that he had a great objection to the removal of the remains of the deceased, or " bones," as they had been described by one of the hon. members in the course of the debate, who had the misfortune to die before. He concluded by moving an amendment restricting the operation of the bill to churches in which no interment had taken place, or which had no vaults underneath them. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. BENTINCK moved the following addition to the clause :—" Provided always, that nothing in this act con tained shall authorise the pulling down the churches of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, St. Martin, Ludgate, St. Peter, Cornhill ; and St. Swithin, Cannon Street; or the towers and steeples of any of the churches within the City of Lon don, and specified in the schedule (B) to this act annexed." Mr. B 0 UVERIE considered that there was no necessity for this provision. Mr. NORRIS thought that instead of removing these churches from the centre of a population more than ade quate to fill them, they should improve the condif ion of the patronage, and place in the pulpits persons cahoulated to attract congregation s. He expressed a hope that the amendment would be adopted and the bill withdr awn. Sir G. LEWIS said that it would be injudiciou .s to inter fere with the provisions of the bill on arohiteotnra 1 grounds, as proposed by the hon. member (Mr. C. Bentind k). Mr. A. SMITH suggested that the clause shwa Id be with drawn, and the sites of the churches should not be built on if they were pulled down. On clause 14, Mr. HENLEY proposed an amendment, w' bich led to a long discussion, prohibiting the sale of sites on. which there have been interments. The committee divided— For the amendment Against it Majority _ The amendment was negatived. After some further clauses had been agreed ito, the clock pointed to a quarter to six ' when the discussion closed. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at six o'clock. READING .RACES.—(This Day.) I.BY XLIICTRIC TBLZGRAPILI KING'S MEADOW STAKES.
