Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion, or statement, last night, on Foreign Affairs, left matters just as they were. His lordship entered into a general argument as to the affairs of unhappy Italy, and criticised the relations between the various ele ments of which that divided country is composed. Indeed, he expressed an opinion that Italy would never be settled while the POPE exercised any temporal power in that forlorn Peninsula. It was the compound character in which His Holiness had acted that kept Italy in hot water for cen turies back. And now, to put the Cap of eternal Slavery on the Italians, the two Emperors pro posed, or rather had decided that the POPE - - '----..rare President of the several Italian Republics, or Dukedoms, or by whatever other title they delight in. This is making con fusion worse confounded with a vengeance, but to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S credit be it said, that he disavowed any accordance with such an anomalous settlement, or pretended settlement of such heterogeneous compounds. No, all that his lordship argued for was, that the House of Commons would not by any expression of opinien tie up the hands of the Government in their present dilemma, but leave them unfettered in the exercise of their discretion. Lord PALMERSTON argued in the same vein, as did also the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who laboured hard, but, we think, un successfully, in his endeavours to whitewash Lord PALMERSTON from certain sins of omission, and others of commission, during his tenure of the Foreign-office in the memorable struggle of 1848 for European independence. From the whole tenor of the debate it is quite clear that Ministers intend to join the Congress or Conference, and that they do not like to be trammelled in their movements by any prospective decision on the part of the House of Commons. Indeed, this was quite evident from their desire to put off Lord ELCHO'S motion on that very difficult question. For our own part, we think that Ministers feel themselves to be in a very awkward fix. We be lieve they would do right if they could, but they are so hampered by Courtly necessities here, and Imperial predilections elsewhere, that they can hardly see their way. Indeed they have admitted as much, for they begged for time and free agency, in order to see " how the wind blew"—that they had not made up their minds as to the future, for the simple reason that they could not see into the dark hereafter of the fate of Italy. The sudden peace of Villafranca seemed only to make matters worse than they were, for one party, wishing to have all the honour, acted for himself alone, ignoring the right of his ally as if he had "no brother near the throne," while his Imperial antagonist jumped at every unlooked for concession, in the very light of a pure Godsend, as enabling him to do without the aid of his "neu tral" friends, who were only endeavouring to en cumber him with their help. Hence the suddenness with which the peace of Villafranca was cooked up —to make things pleasant for the time being, and to let the future take of itself. And our Ministers now find themselves in the mazes of doubt, with as many horns in their dilemma as there are Members in their bewildered Cabinet? We heartily wish them well out of it : but when ?--Aye ! there's the rub. Italy may prove a restless annuity for them, for there's no daylight to dawn upon their councils for years to come, as Lord JonN RUSSELL confessed last evening. It seems now to be admitted that the other sudden announcement of the Emperor NAPOLEON was only a clap-trap to beguile the hearers o f Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S statement on Foreign Affairs. And so it seems to have answered its imperial purpose. But the wiseacres on the Bourse, or our Stock E x _ change were not to be caught with chaff this time. They were misled before, and now they would hesi tate even in believing the truth from such a quarter. " There is no sincerity in it," wa s the general feeling, and hence the mistake ! Jugglers, be they Indian pr Imperial, are sure to find their level when their dupes are made wide awake to the fallacies attempted to be imposed on them as they have been inflicted before. So, the clap-trap of reducing the army and navy of France has missed its purpose. No. Let France reduce or augment as .she pleases, England will not abate one shilling of her expenses or slacken a muscle of her energy in being all prepared for whatever may come—be it from any or from all • . 87.4 . t 0.1.1 i• 4, • • ft*. .

We scarcely have in our recollection anything more discreditable than the tone in which the member for Lambeth, yesterday, alluded to that great man, the Rajah of Sarawak, when question ing the advisability of a paltry vote in Committee of Supply, a wretched little rubbishing driblet of £4,209 to defray the expenses of Labuan—upon which possession, recollect, Sir JAS. BROOKE himself has out of his own private purse expended at the very least some £30,000 sterling! Yet yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. 'WILLIAMS, the high-souled member for Lambeth—skinner of flints and parer of cheeses to a certain school of our political Eco nomists—had the extreme impertinence to de nounce this trumpery vote as (in Mr. WILLIAMS'S elegant phraseology) " little better than a job pen sion to a. person named BROOKE (!) who had founded Labuan for his own benefit (!!) and had afterwards palmed it of on the British Govern ment (!!!)" Language like this, under ordinary circumstances, might reasonably be passed alto gether sub silentio as really and truly beneath contempt. But remembering that Sir JAMES BROOKE, by reason of the absolute and entire dedica tion to this very project of Labuan of the whole of his private fortune, of the best years of his honour able and memorable life, of his daring, of his genius, of his large ambition, and of his many noble aspira tions—is at this moment all but a ruined man, is but just now beginning slowly to recover from a serious and painful illness, brought on, it is not . for an instant to be doubted, by excessive anxiety of mind, and by the physical wear and tear caused by his prolonged and reiterated vicissitudes ! Re membering all these indisputable facts, we say, the language employed yesterday by the member for Lambeth in reference to the Rajah of SARA WAK was no less than simply in one word disgraceful. No wonder the right hon. gentleman, the late Home Secretary, Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT, at once rose to express his conviction that the hon. member who had thus spoke hr intem perately would upon reflection be having referred to a man like Sir JAY )KE, in terms of such unjustifiable No wonder Mr. ESTCOURT, though peesonally, as we are ourselves, a total stranger to the Rajah of Sarawak, protested strongly in the British House of Commons against his name being there mentioned in words so strangely disrespectful. No wonder the hon. gentleman the member for Pontefract should find himself impelled (in oppo sition to those disrespectful remarks uttered by Mr. W. WILLIAMS), to pronounce a glowing pane gyric upon Sir JAMES BROOKE, placing him, while doing so, in the same category with Sir WALTER RALEIGH and other distinguished adventurers! It was simply of a piece with the whole of this singu lar proceeding on the part of the hon. member for Lambeth that at the close of the discussion which he found, probably much to his surprize, he had thus provoked in committee, he coolly " disclaimed any intention of speaking of Sir JAMES BROOKE in any way disrespectfully." His language of course was only to be understood in a sense strictly and exclusively Pickwickian ! The vote equally as a matter of course was in the end agreed to—that munificen t and mag nifirent vntn of 44.9110 t Durin g the discus sion, however, a hope was incidentally expressed by the noble lord the member for King's Lynn, to the effect that the colony of Labuan might even tually be dispensed with by the Government. Very earnestly, and not by any means for the first time —for we have written upon this matter for a long while past consistently and persistently very earnestly would we here at once express a hope of a diametrically opposite kind. The abandonment of Labuan, particularly now when new and most auspicious relations have been esta blished between this country and the vast Chinese empire, between England and the great insular empire of Japan, between England and her own superb empire of Hindostan, but yesterday, as it were, brought directly under the dominion of the SOVEREIGN—the abandonment of Labuan by the Imperial Government at such an epoch in the de velopment of our commercial intercourse with the Asiati?, continent and the Eastern Archipelago would, in truth, we are firmly persuaded, be, in TALLEYRAND'S phrase, " worse than a crime—a mis take." It would be a crime perpetrated, in the treat ment of Sir JAMES BROOKE by his ungrateful country. It would be a mistake in regard to the real interests of that country itself. Precisely this very standing ground upon the north east coast of Borneo is what the Government of England ought most to deside rate as the Archimedian you sto for our commerce in the eastern seas. Labuan is precisely the very spot for a grand coaling depot in that quarter of the globe. There is coal actually there. Yet with everything to tempt us to the acquisition— gratitude, honour, interest—there is a grievous risk that Labuan may, out of the most mistaken motives of the most paltry ennomy, be allowed to slip from our grasp by the apathy, or the timidity, or the carelessness of the Imperial Government. 0 that the Rajah of SARAWAK had but been a Whig ! 0 that Sir JAMES BROOKE had but owned as his patronymic the name of GREY, or of ELLIOT, or of RUSSELL. The transfer in that case would have been managed so very easily. Yet, for all that, whatever may be the ultimate decision of the Legislature, or of the Administration, in reference to the colony of Labuan, the name of Sir JAMES BROOKE will survive to after generations among the glorious catalogue of those great British Worthies who have been among the noblest and the most heroic of the world's adventurers ! A letter from Rouen states that the harvest is now going on with great activity in that neigh bourhood. The crop, however, will be far less abundant than last year's, and not more than two thirds of an average one. Some fields of rye and oats which looked fine a short time since are scarcely worth the expense of cutting. MARSEILLES, Wednesday, July 27, B.3O.—Her Majesty's steam gun sloop Coquette entered the old harbour last night. As she was coming in her commander picked up a fishing boat, which had broken away from her moor ings and was drifting out to sea. The Courrier de Mar seilles of this evening publishes the following letter, dated yesterday, from Toulon :—" The steam gun sloop Coquette, which had left Marseilles for a short cruise, was surprised by bad weather near Toulon, and obliged to take shelter in this port. On entering she saluted the French flag with' 21 guns, which was immediately returned by the forts, and then the flag of the Commodore, fly ing from the Ville de Paris with 11 guns, which was likewise returned. The Commodore, in consequence of the bad weather, sent off several of his boats to offer their s ervices to the E ng li s h gun s l oop. Th e comman d er o f th e c9clnette, Captain Foley, on landing made it is duty to visit the maritime authorities of our town, who received him lin the politest manner."

Chevalier Farrini, Governor of Modena, has, by order of King Victor Emmanuel, withdrawn the Sardinian authority, and has published a procla mation, in which he remits the Government to the members of the Municipality. The populace assembled in crowds, and pro claimed the Municipality by acclamation dictators of the country. Chevalier Farrini has accepted a provisional re gency in order to maintain public order and to re unite the R ?presentative Assembly of Modena, which is to pronounce on the future settlement of the country. Perfect order and general confidence prevail. MILAN, JULY 28. To-day being the anniversary of the funeral of the late King Carlo Alberto, a grand ceremony took place to celebrate the same, which was attended by an immense concourse of the populace. The troops maintained perfect order. • TURIN, JULY 28. Advices from Lodi, of yesterday's date, state that the populace, not having been informed of the arri val of French troops, for whose reception fetes had been prepared, were so irritated against the muni cipality that they compelled the members to resign. The King has appointed a provisional municipal committee. TRIESTE, JULY 28. Advices from Zara, of the 26th inst., state that four Austrian commercial vessels, captured on the 10th at Maleda, were given up on the 19th at Antivari. At the latter port there only remain one Sardinian trading brig and a Turkish steamer and corvette. FRANKFOKT, JULY, 28. In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet, Austria, Prussia, and Baden made a common proposal con cerning the garrisoning of Rastadt, according to which Baden would name the governor and artil lery director, Austria the engineer director, and Prussia and Austria alternately the commander, The garrison would consist of 6,000 men when on a peace, and 12,000 when on a war footing, the contingents for which to be furnished by Austria, Baden, and Prussia. Austria and Prussia announced also that they had agreed to alternate the appoint ment of the commander every five years. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY, An electric cable has been laid down between Cherbourg and the different forts of the roadstead and the advanced or fortified points of the coast. The war gave rise to a number of small daily publications which are sold about the streets in Paris with an exceptional permission on the part of the authorities. These papers, which were not subjected to any of the conditions imposed on the regular journals, are now to be suppressed. The preparations for the grand fete of the 15th August have been already commenced. The frame work for the fireworks is being erected on the heights of the Trocadero. PARIS BOURSE, July 28.—The note in the Moni teur, announcing the disarmament of France, has had a very favourable influence on the market, and a good business has been done in Threes, at 68f. 75e. and 68f. 80c.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 26th, devotes a leading article to thie Italian Confederation, which, it thinks, would be highly injurious to Piedmont, if it were not impossible. Austria, who has always been opposed to th e liberal institutions of Pied mont, would, in the writer's opinion, find it her in terest to paralyze P] iedmont in the Confederation, the mission of wl Lich would be, to justify all the arbitrary and reactionary acts of the other Governments. Pied mont, in endeavouring to pre vent them, would a lways be in a minority, nay, she might even be !invited to adopt them, and in case she refused, attempts might be made to com pel her, although th tt would not be easy, because the people (of the ol her territories) would always be on her side. A Paris letter, in. the Independance of Brussels, says:—=-" The Emperor Napoleon, in receiving the Marquis of Pallavici.33o, the Minister of the Duchess of Parma, treated :aim with great kindness, and made use of express ions which are of a nature to remove all uneasiness s from the mind of her Royal Highness. The Ens .peror also received the Cheva lier Peruzzi, who •was not, as has been stated, charged with a mist sion from the Provisional Go vernment of Tusaaa:y to the French Government, but is merely the 'bearer of an address from the Consulta to the Ell peror. His majesty received him most courteous ly, and in the counsels which he Faye, insisted ori the reasons which ought to induce Tuscany to :accept the Government of the young Grand Duke, who does not, however, pro pose to return to the States, which the prelimi naries of Villaframr a seem to desire to restore to him, unless with a constitution with which the people will have reag ;on to be satisfied. I regret to say that the recito l of a conversation said to have taken place recentil between the Emperor and Lord Cowley is quit 3 unfounded. I should have been glad if I could have confirmed the details of the conversation an :tided to, in which a general disarming was said to have been promised, but it appears certain the ti, t the Emperor did not make use of the language s attributed to him, and that his majesty had not recta ived Lord Cowley at the time .since his return." lERICA.

The Glasgow Herald publishes a letter from a gentleman on his passage to New York, to a friend in Glasgow, giving an account of a terrible col lision which the Canada had with an iceberg. The writer says :—" On Saturday, 9th instant, about 1.30 p.m., in lat. 48 deg. 40 min. north, long. 48 deg. 10 min. west, during a dense fog, and while about 230 miles from Newfoundland, the ship struck an immense iceberg, the same not having been perceived until about 300 yards from the ship, which was going full speed and with mainsail and yards set. The engines were immediately stopped, but only about a minute and a quarter elapsed since we struck, crushing and splintering the bowsprit like a reed, annihilating the cutwater, tearing up the forecastle deck, and staving in the bows of the ship. Death, speedy and inevitable—for it was feared the ship would fill and sink before the boats could be lowered— seemed imminent, and was apprehended by all for the space of five or seven minutes ; but if minutes are to be measured by the amount of sensations experienced in the time, they were the longest I or any one on board ever felt. The captain and officers of the ship, who behaved in the trying circumstances with great calmness and"presence of mind, as soon as possible ascertained the extent of the damage done. Our hopes gradually rose as time elapsed, and there were no symptoms of the ship settling down by the head, and it was shortly discovered that we had fortunately struck on a perpendicular face of the berg, and not where it extended under water, so that the principal damage to the bows was abo're the water line. This, with what must have been, as compared with others, the extraordinary strength of the ship proved our safety. We remained on the spot several hours to repair, so far as our means admitted, the damage, and the heavy part of the cargo and luggage was shifted back to the after part of the main saloon, so as to lighten the ship forward, and lift the broken part still further out of the water. After this, so long as the fog continued, we went " dead slow," for another thump, though greatly less severe, would have sent us down at once. The Americans on board, and there are many, are almost unanimous in saying that had it been a Yankee ship, cur fate would have been a very different one. From the immen sity of the shock, I have now no doubt of the cause of the silent and signless fate of the President, Pacific, and City of Glasgow."—Man chester Examiner. TILE RECENT CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION. We have read in a London journal a flaming account of a " Great Conservative Banquet" held in Derby, which, we are assured, was the precursor of the utter annihilation of Liberalism in South Derbyshire. Eloquent speeches—great enthusiasm —magnificent presents of venison—wines of the first vintage— and the choicest specimens of fish from the rich preserves of Conservative magnates —in short a banquet which for rare excellence and refinement of taste has not been witnessed in Derby in these degenerate days. We naturally turned over the pages of the Mercury with laudable anxiety to read the eloquent outpourings of the orators. In vain did the eye follow column after column; until at length it rested in astonished gaze upon a mo dest paragraph of some dozen lines, the only local record preserved of the wondrous banquet described in such brilliant terms in some London journals. Our curiosity was aroused, and diligent inquiries were instituted. At length we discovered that in a yard at the back of an inn in Sadler-gate a number of persons assembled on Wednesday week—" in thun der,lightning,and rain"—to discuss under a tent some venison and nut-brown ale at a moderate charge, at least to all who were not admitted gratuitously. Our dazzled imagination at once sobered down, and notwithstanding all the vive voce descriptions given of the eloquence of our local Ciceros and Demos thenes', we have arrived at the conclusion that some deep reasons of state have prevented our contem porary from disclosing to the world the rare doings at this " great Conservative banquet !" On behalf of the orators who are thus so cruelly deprived of the fruits of their labours, we must protest against this mode of dealing with them. It is too bad. What have the done to be thus shrouded in ob scurity ? Why should the " great Conservative party" be deprived of the exhilarating feelings which a perusal of the speeches would doubtless have produced ? We are afraid that, if a satisfac tory answer is not vouchsafed to us, we shall be compelled to publish some of the accounts sent of the remarkable - gaMerlng, in thdback-yard, Sadler gate. At any rate we congratulate the great Con servative party " on this last demonstration, which was, we are assured, a most remarkable gathering. Everything was superb—from the speeches of the jubilant Chairman and his Fides Achates, down to the mugs of nut brown—and " especially the veni son !"—Derby Reporter. WILLS AND BEQUESTS'.

Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from Chelms ford, and other places, praying for an alteration of the law relating to County Courts, more especially with regard to commitments. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH presented petitions against the abolition of church-rates. CHURCH-RATES. The Marquis of SALISBURY asked whether it was the intention of the Government to proceed with the bill for the abolition of church-rates at this late period of the session. He was of opinion that the whole of the evidence which had been taken before the committee on the subject ought to be laid on the table of the house. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, in the absence of his noble friend, he could not give the noble marquis a defini tive answer to the question. Individually, he did not think it would be advisable to proceed with the bill at this period of the session. SECOND READINGS. On the motion of Lord REnESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Berks and Hants Extension Railway, Chichester Harbour Embankment, Finford Bridge and Banbury Road, Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Rochdale and Royton Branches), Lancaster and Carlisle Railway ; Lawton, Burslem, and New castle-under-Lyme Roads ; Ludlow Roads, Maltraeth and Corsddaugan Marsh, Midland Railway (Erewash Valley), Midland Railway and Burton-upon-Trent Bridge, North-Eastern Railway (Harrogate Branches), Silverdale and Newcastle-under-Lyme Railway, South Staffordshire Railway, South Yorkshire Railway and River Dean Company, Stockton and Darlington Railway, West End and Crystal Palace Railway (No. 1), and West London Railway. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Droitwich Roads, Hinckley and Melbourne Roads, Charles town Railway and Harbour (Amendment), Ringwood, Christchurch, and Bournemouth Railway, and Wansbeck Railway. REVISION OF THE LITURGY. Lord EBURY presented a petition from certain clergy of the Established Church, praying the house to address the Queen for a Royal Commission to revise the liturgy. The noble lord said it was not his intention to bring the subject under the consideration of their lord ships this session. The: Bishop of LONDON said the object of the peti tioners was to shorten the services of the Church, but he was afraid the alteration which was proposed would involve questions of doctrine, and would give rise to dissensions which would be most prejudicial to the interests of the Church, [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAT.) The SPEA.KEx took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Bray Commons, and Ipswich (Borough) Fishery. Tho Lucettis Estate Bill was read a second time. ELECTION PETITIONS. The members nominated to serve on the Cheltenham and Limerick election committees were sworn. INCOME TAX, &c., BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. PIGOTT, who had a motion on the paper to the effect that the proposed assessment on trades and profes sions should be reduced from 4d. to 2d. in the pound, said he would not press his amendment at present, considering the late period of the session, but he hoped the Govern ment would consider the subject next session, with a view to placing it on a more satisfactory f oo ti n g. He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not look to this tax as a permanent source of revenue, and that he retained the opinion he expressed in 1853, that that impost was diffi cult to be collected, inquisitorial, and therefore unpopular, consequently that it should not be retained as a permanent source of income. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY considered that after the house had agreed to the resolutions on the tax he thought it would be most inexpedient to raise a question like the pre sent. The only amendment he would suggest was that in those cases where the income amounted only to one-half or three-fourths of the financial year that parties should not be taxed for the whole year. He mentioned two cases of hardship that had arisen in the collection of this tax, the first being when the income liable to taxation was made up partly of an annuity solely the property of the wife, and the next when firemen employed on railways received an amount that brought them within the operation of the tax, while they had to expend a large sum on the clothes they required for their employment. Mr. BENTINCK expressed some surprise that the right hon. gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, should advocate the increase of this tax, having been a member of a Government that endeavoured to carry on the war in the Crimea on a peace establishment, which resulted in great disaster. He thought if the country were called on to pay a war tax in time of peace, that they should be satisfied that the national defences were maintained in efficiency. Col. SYKES proposed that in cases of income derived from professions, the parties should be taxed at half their incomes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he agreed with the last remark of the hon. member (Mr. Bentinck), but he denied that he was a:member of a Gover ment that carried on war on a peace establishment, the in come-tax having been doubled at the breaking out of the Crimean war. With reference to the first case alluded to by the hon. member for North Warwickshire, he could only say that there were inequalities in this tax which appeared inseparable from it; but cases like the one in question did not warrant any a lte ra tion in the law. With respect to the other case, there was a special clause in the act which provided a remedy for the hardships complained of, which could be brought under the notice of the inland revenue. He adhered to the opinions he formerly expressed with reference to this tax. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved an addition to the clause, that annuities expiring in October and January should, in the former, be charged only for the half year, and in the latter only three-fourths of the year. After some discussion, the house divided. For the amendment 37 Against 72 • Majority —3s The amendment was accordingly lost, and the original clause was agreed to. Clauses 3,4, and 5, were also agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. BEALE suggested that the malt tax should be col lected like any other tax, namely, when it accrued, but that the maltster should be allowed two years to pay the £2,500,000 now, or about being due. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not make any alteration in the schedule this session. The clause was then agreed to, as well as clause 7. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved an additional clause to the bill providing that persons pur chasing annuities from insurance companies should be allowed the dame deduction with regard to the income, tax that was granted to those who had purchased Government annuities. The clause was added and the house resumed. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, and several minor votes were agreed to. On the vote of £29,193, the regium donum to noncon forming clergy in Ireland, Mr. BAXTER protested against two or three dissenting sects being selected for this grant, and objected to such grants altogether as having been given for political pur poses. The operation of the grant was most injurious to the nonconforming clergy in Ireland, who were worse' off than other clergymen, and he contrasted their condition with that of the nonconforming Free Presbyterian Church in Scotland, towards which no less than £4,500,000 had been subscribed since the period of the disruption. He concluded by stating that he would bring the whole ques tion before the house next session, and in order to enter his protest against the grant he would move that it should be reduced by £69 4s. Bd. the proposed increase on the vote. Mr. LABOUCHERE trusted that the house would not do away with this tax lightly, and adverted to the services which the sects in question had rendered to the cause of peace and good order in Ireland. Mr. DAWSON sketched the history of the Irish regium donum, which, ho said, was a contraot entered into by our ancestors 100 years ago, and could not justly be abolished. Be,siges this was a grant to which he believed no party in Ireland objected, and the nonconformists in that country were placed in a position different to that of their co religionists and other sects elsewhere. If this question were brought forward on a future occasion he would en deavour to show that not only should this grant be con tinued, but that it should be increased and placed perma rten4y off} thp consolidated fund, thereby relieving it from these periodical attacks. Mr. CATI.DIVET4 said that, as the whole question would be before the house next year, he would not enter into the discussion at present. Mr. SPOONgliil44 rtc,PbjePtiol:l to the present grant, w hi c h s t oo d on different grounds to that of Maynooth, to which he should always be opposed. The hon. member availed himself of the opportunity tourge some of his usual objections against the latter grant. Mr. BLACK considered that the basis of this question should be widened, and a motion introduced for the pur pose of abolishing gradually all these grants. Lord NAAS concurred with the last speaker. After some discussion the house divided, and the numbers were— For the vote 126 Against ••• 000 Majority —B6 The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of £5,965 for salaries of officers of the Board of Health under the Local Government Act, Mr. WILLIAMS denounced the class of votes to which this item belonged, as being most reckless and extrava gant. Some discussion ensued, and it was ultimately arranged that the vote should be postponed until the evening sitting. On the vote of £3,583 for defraying the salaries of a number of the officers of the ecclesiastical commisson of England and Wales, Mr. WILLIAMS contended that this vote was most un just towards Roman Catholics and Dissenters, who were called on to pay for services which were of value only to the Church of England. . . . Mr. D. SE ' - 'MOUR said that, as a Protestant, he was opposed to this vote. After some remarks by Mr. Walpole, Mr. A. Smith, Mr. Deedes, and Sir J. Shelley, Mr. E. JAMES said it appeared that the coil missioners had a surplus of £57,000 in hand, and contended that it was most unfair to call on Dissenters to pay salaries to clerks and others for administering the affairs of the Church. After a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS the house divi ded, and the numbers were— For the vote Against .. .. 72 Majority The vote was accordingly agreed to. A vote of £16,695 for the Charity Commission was agreed to. On the vote of £26,278 for sundry temporary commis sions, some discussion ensued. Mr. LAING said with regard to the Decimal Coinage Committee it was about to terminate. It being ten minutes to four o'clock, the house resumed. ASHBURTON. The chairman of the committee nominated to try the petition against the return of Mr. J. H. Aston, announced that they had come to the conclusion that he was duly elected. FROME ELECTION. It was announced that the petition in the case of the Frome election was withdrawn, and the order of the day for its being tried was discharged. The house adjourned at four o'clock.
