CITY, Two O'CLOCK The Money Market presents a firm appearance, anti a good, demand is experienced for accommoda tion, and even first class bills are not negotiable under the. Bank minimum of 4 per cent., while is tho general rate. There is some im provemenl t in the Foreign Exchanges, and the demand for gold for shipment to the Conti nent is r Alt of so pressing a character. This led to an ad dition of rather more than 50,000 to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England ; but in the abse ace of fresh arrivals from Australia and America some withdrawals may probably take place. _ _ The a ivancing tendency in the value of money will, in some measure, check the formation of new joint st( )ck companies. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibit ed a further slight advance on'the rate on Vienne I. Abo rat £52,000 in Australian gold was sent into the Be nk of. England yesterday, and £45,000 has also bt 'en disposed of for exportation.

MA N CHESTER, Aug. 21.—The yarn market is very ei . niet, the demand being limited for all quar ters, but especially for the East, whence several houses are in possession of telegrams of an un favoun able character. One of these messages states that a:t Calcutta, on the 22d of July, cloths were unsales tble, and that the prices of both cloths and yarns were lower. In home trade yarns there is no chit nge here since last week. The German and Mediterranean shippers are doing a little business, but nol:hing calculated to affect values, the present stea&ti ess of which in yarns is attributable to the recent movement in the cotton market. The tele gram s referred to from Calcutta do net quite agree as to the state of the cloth market, one stating that prices were lower, with no business, but ano ther reporting that sbirtings had been saleable at 3d. t o 41d. per piece decline. Telegrams from Bombay to the 24th of July report prices of imports lower and monsoon u n f avoura bl e . Ad v i ces f rom China are also unfavourabl e . Th e consequence i s that in this market to-day all the current staple cloths for the East have received a check, even at the low prices of last week. As letters from Bom bay to the Bth and from Calcutta to the 6th of July will be to hand to-morrow, buyers are induced to postp one even the orders they were inclined to place until these are to hand. The ma r k e t c l oses i n all India goods exceedingly flat, and pr o b a bl y b ut for the favourable change in the weather w e should have a more gloomy feeling. Printing cloths are lower, and long•cloths and T- c l o th s more difficult of sale, the latter, if pressed on the market , having to be sold at a concession, LEX.DS, Aug, 21.--The long and anxiously hoped for change in the weather, the absence of which apprehensions was beginning to cause gloomy in commercial circles, seems to have at last taken p improved weather and the sun has shone more genially than for many a long week past. The weather has not yet had time to effect any per ceptible improvement in the staple trade of this district, but the tone of the cloth-market this morning was rather more cheerful, and on the whole a fair Tuesday's average business was transacted. The - warehouse trade continues moderately good, and manufacturers are steadily employed. If seasonable weather continue to prevail, and the harvest be well gathered in, a pretty prosperous 'winter trade may be anticipated, and it is not un reasonable to believe, that some of the lighter . fabrics, of which the drapers, owing to the back wardness of the season, have unusually large stocks of hand, may be bought up under the influence of a clear sky and a bright sun. For some weeks past trade has been conducted with proper caution, and though stocks have slightly accumulated, they ar e still within a moderate compass, and the -prices of all kinds of goods are very firm. ROCHDALE, Aug. 20.—The annual rushbearing being celebrated here to-day, most of the operatives have kept holiday, and the business of the market has been, as on all occasions, considerably impeded. Wools, in which there were not many sales made, were easier to buy than last week. In the flannel market there was a quiet feeling. SOUTH-EASTERN.—The directors have resolved to recommend the proprietors, at their ensuing half-yearly meeting, to order payment of a dividend of 14s. on each MO stock, being wt tie rate 9f Si 13$. 4d, pin' cent, pin panam. ?

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock, LANDING OF GARIBABD . IN CALABRIA. NAPLES, AUG. 21 (via FLORENCE). News has been received here of the landing of 2,000 Garibaldians in Calabria, who joined the in surgents and attacked Reggio. This morning 130 Sicilian vessels disembarked Garibaldi and his army at Bagnara. The telegraph lines between Paloni and Reggio have been cut. A Provisional Government has been established at Potenza. The elections have been adjourned until the end of September. The Parliament is to be assembled on the 20th October. MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms DAT.) The SPEAKER was in attendance at 12 o'clock, but did not take the chair until 20 minutes past, as there were not sufficient members present to constitute a house. PERSIA AND INDIA. _ _ On the motion •f Colonel SYKES certain returns relative to the Persian expodition and India were ordered to be laid on the table. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. In reply to Mr. HENNESSY, Mr. LAING said he was not aware that there was any intention on the part of the Government to apply for ten ders for the Australian postal service by way of Panama. There was a contract for that service by way of the Isthmus of Suez, which was the preferable route between this coun try and Australia. THE HIGH SHERIFF OF SURREY. Mr. B. COCHRANE said that, considering the high character of Mr. Evelyn, the High Sheriff of Surrey, and that he had acted under a misapprehension in the circula tion of the handbill which had incurred the displeasure of her Majesty's judges, the fine of £5OO imposed on him should be remitted. Sir G. LEWIS said he had no doubt of the high cha racter of Mr. Evelyn, the High Sheriff of Surrey, but if that gentleman wished to present a petition to her Majesty on the subject of his fine, ho might do so through th e H ome - Office. He had seen the placard in question, and it cer tainly did appear to him a most objectionable circular, and he considered that the judges wore justified in taking a very serious notice of his conduct. CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill went through committee. EXCHEQUER BONDS (L 2,000,000) BILL. This bill also went through committee. MILITIA PAY BILL. The bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLITAN POLICE yORCE (DOCKYARDS No. 2) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. UNION OF BENEFICES BILL The house again went into committee on this bill. On clause 14, Mr. HUBBARD moved to add, "And the scheme for the removal of any church or parsonage shall provide for the erection of another church or parsonage within the limits of the metropolis." The motion was agreed to. Mr. POTTS moved the following addition to the clause :—" That the sale of any church or site of any church proposed to be sold by the powers of this bill, may not take place within two years after the completion of the scheme for the drainage of the metropolis, and not then, unless it can be proved that the populations of the parishes in which such churches were situated have not increased, and the c mgregations attending such churches have not numeri cally increased." After some discussion, the amendment was withdrawn. The house divided on the motion, that the clause do stand part of the bill — Ayes Noes Majority —l2 The clause was accordingly agreed to, as well as clause _ _ Clauses 16,..17, and 18, were agreed to. On clause , 19, Mr. E. JAMES said that 13 of the parishes of the city of London which escaped the fire of 1666 were liable, under the statute of Henry Bth to the charge of 2s 9d. per pound. The parish of St. Martin Outwich, in the City of London, was now occupied by insurance offices and other large establish ments, and yet the rector liPsde a charge of £250 a year for tithes in one parlicular case, and stated —as was the case—that under the act in ques tion he could claim £5OO a year. This clause re-enacted that all existing rights should be preserved and the conse quence was that tithes could be enforced when the churches where service was supposed to ba performed might per haps be remove(' to the suburbs of the metropolis. After some discussion the clause was agreed to, as were the clauses to 28 inclusive. _ The remaining clauses were also agreed to. Mr. H. SEYMOUH gave notice that on bringing up the report on this bill he should move a clause, to the effect that persons of dissenting denominations might be enabled to purchase the churches for religious purposes that would be disused in consequence of the union of benefices. His object was to prevent any hole-and• corner jobbing on the part of the Ecclesiastical Commission in regard to these edifices. _ _ _ _ -- Mr.ANCE moved the addition of a clause, to the effect that no scheme for the sale of churches shotld be submitted to her Majesty in Council until it had been laid before both Houses of Parliament for two months. E. JAMES said the bill conferred enormous powers on the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and he felt bound to support the proposed clause. Mr. J. LOCKE and Mr. Memlis supported the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM followed on the same side. He said that he as well as the hon. member wh o had charge of the bill (Mr. Bouverie) was a member of the Ecclesiastical Com mission, and he certainly could not ask the house to place unlimited confidence in that body. If this bill passed with out the proposed clause, Parliament would lose all control over the commission in regard to pullin g down churches in the City. Ho was opposed to the bill, and voted in the minority against it, and ho certainly world object to it more strongly than ever if it passed without this clause. Mr. BOUVERIE said that the House of Commons was already overburdened with business, and the powers conferred on vestries prevented the possibility of anything objectionable in regard to this matter being committed by the Ecclesiastical Commission. He said if checks like the present were imposed on the bill it would be rendered ino perative. Some further discussion ensued, but Mr. BOUVERIE consented to the introduction of the clause, which was read a second time, and added to the bill. The preamble was then agreed to, a n d the house resumed. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL, On the motion for resuming the tulj°limed debate on the consideration of this bill as amended, Mr. TITE said that instead of proceeding with the de bate he would, under all circumstances, move that the order for considering the bill be discharged. The hon. member proceeded to show, at some length, that he was justified in introducing the bill, and he was induced not to press it for ward, solely on account of the late period of the session. After some remarks from Mr. BRADT and Mr. SHERI DAN, The order was discharged. ENDOWED CHARITIES BILL. This bill, as amended, was consider e d third reading. and ordered for NAVAL DISCIPLINE BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered for third reading._ ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. On the order of the day for the third readin g of this bill, Mr. BUTT moved that it be recommitted. - He said that the bill was introduced by the hon. baronet the member for Dundalk (Sir G. Bowyer) as a measure of relief to Roman Catholics, but that hon. member considered that, from the alterations that had been made in the bill, it be came a penal measure. He contend e d that the bill had been discussed with great attention, and without any pre judice in regard to the Romon Catholic body. He thought that the recommittal of the bill would enable the house to pass the measure in a form that would remove the appre hensions entertained by Roman Catholic members in refer ence to the alterations introduced. Sir G. LEWIS said he did not thi n k any w ould result from the course propo se d by the hon. mem ber. He said it was not desired by those advantage who supported the alterations to interfere with Roman Catholic charities, and the bill was intended merely to meet a provisional state. He contended that the b 11 in its present form was a measure of relief, and not a final measure. Mr. HENLEY thanked the Atto rney -General for the care he had bestowed on this bill. After some remarks relative to the debate on this bill last night by Sir J. Bowyer, Lord Palmerston, and the Att or ney-General, the motion was ne gatived. The bill was then read a third time and passed. COURT OF CHANCERY BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered, and it was ordered for third reading. PARTY EMBLEMS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND) ACTS AMENDMENT BIL L. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. VANCE drew attention to the salaries paid to the clerks and other officers connected with the first Ecclesias tical Commission, which was only one-third of that which was paid to those employed in the E cclesiastical Commis sion in England. On the motion of Mr. CARDWELL clauses 1,2, 3,5, 7 and 8 were omitted. Clause 4 was agreed to. Clauses 9 to 16 inclusive, with several amendments, were agreed to. The remaining clauses were agreed to. On the motion of Mr. FREELAND, the following new clauses were added to the bill: —The term Episcopal Com missioner, in section 7 of the said acts of the 3rd and 4th years of King William, chapter 37, shall be held to in clude not only any archbisir or bishop acting as eccle siastical commissioner under the said act or this act, but else' any commissioner appointed by the said Lord Primate and Lord Archbishop of Dublin in manner in the said act herein provided. In any case in which the said commissioners shall have under consideration matters specially affecting the interests of any bishop, dean, or chapter of Ireland, such commis sioners map, if they think fit, request the attendance at any meetinc , at which such matters are to be taken into consi deration, of any bishop, dean, or members of a chapter whose interests or property such matters shall or may affect, and he or they shall be at liberty to attend at any such meeting, and to assist the said commissioners with information and advice. but shall not vote or, except as aforesaid, take any part i n the pro ceedings of the said commissioners. If after the passing of this act her Majesty or her successors shall, under the powers of section 2 of the act of the 3d and 4th years of King William the Fourth, chap, 37, appoint two ecolessiae tical commissioners, one only of the said commissioners shall be a paid commissioner. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re sumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, the house adjoured at 20 minutes to six o'clock. YORK RACES.—( 'his Day.)

(Before Mr. Payne.) , Helen Cole was convicted of stealing a watch-guard, rings, and other articles from the house No. 10, Craven street, Fitzroy-square. A previous conviction for obtain ing goods on false pretences having been proved, she was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Charlotte Sharpe was indicted for stealing from her mistress, Mary Brittan, wife of Mr. Robert James Brittan, 14, Portland-place, £l2 in money and several articles of wearing apparel. The jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing two cloaks and a chemise, but not guilty of stealing the £l2. The prisoner had been previously convicted of larceny, and suffered six months' imprisonment in September, 1859. Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to penal servitude for three years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE AT THE PICCADILLY SALOON.—Mr. James Bodkin, address refused, Mr. Henry Bruce Ogilvy, 16, Bond-street, Captain Palms Spread Morgan, 65th Foot, 38, Jermyn-street, Mr. James Fortescue, 38, Jermyn-street, Mr. James Johnson, Mr. George Robinson, and Mr. Wm. Shaw, Bell Tavern, Barbican, were charged—Bodkin and Ogilvy with being drunk and creating a disturbance, Bod• kin further charged with an assault on a constable, and the others with creating a disturbance in Piccadilly. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for Morgan, Bodkin, Fortescue, and Ogilvy, the last two named being officers in the army, it is stated. From the evidence of Charles Patch, 317 A, it appeared that at half-past two this morning he was called to the Piccadilly Saloon by the proprietor, in consequence of the whole of the defendants, who were inside, creating a dis turbance. Ogilvy and Bodkin were very drunk, the others not quite so much so, though thAy appeared to have been drinking. With the assistance of other constables ho turned the defendants out into Piccadilly, and tried to disperse them, there being at the time a crowd of 2`'o persons, pro stitutes and others, present. Bodkin said he would not go for a policeman or any one else, and made a great noise. Finding he could not get them away, he, with other con stables, took them into custody, and on the way to the station Bodkin struck him a blow on the breast with great violence. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said there was a re gular melee, and an immense crowd collected. Mr. Lewis said he believed they all went quietly to the station. Inspector Holden said that was not the case. Mr. Lewis said the fact of seven persons being taken into custody by five officers would necessarily create a dis turbance. Mr. Boadon said if gentlemen so far forgot themselves as to assault constables they must pay for it. Ho should fine Bodkin 405., or a month ; and all the others ho should order to enter in their recognisances in the sum of £2O each to keep the peace for three months. THAMES. DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY IN A WAREHOUSE. —Joseph Bruce, a man about 24 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with being in a warehouse, with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for Messrs. James Hartley and Co., the proprietors of the British, Foreign, and Dublin Steam Wharves, Lower East Smithfield.. James Taylor, a labourer in the employ of Jas. Hartley and Co., said that at five o'clock in the afternoon he heard a noise at the side of the wharf among the teas. He turned round, looked about him, and saw the pri soner in the act of rising, as if from his knees, between the teas on the wharf. Another man, named Willis, who was on the alert, spoke to the prisoner, and said, " What are you doing there," and directly afterwards Willis showed fhim a box of tea. It was produced by the witness, who said, in answer to the magistrate, that boxes of tea were not brought to the wharf in the state that was in. The box of tea had been tampered with. The prisoner got up from the place where he heard the noise, and he had no doubt his intention was to steal tea from the box. William Willis, another labourer, in the employ of James Hartley, said the prisoner was not employed on the wharf, and had no business there whatever. Witness heard the crashing of wood and saw the prisoner on his knees by the side of the chest of tea. There was just room for a man to pass in the tea alley between the chests of tea. The pri soner made an excuse that he was looking for gunny bags. A gunny bag placed over the chest of tea produced was removed, and the top of it was split. The chest of tea was in a perfect state before the prisoner was found on the wharf. The pri soner made his escape to the next wharf, where he was detected, and was pursued and secured. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Yardley had no doubt the prisoner went upon the wharf with the intention of committing a robbery, and he had been defeated in so doing by the vigilance of Messrs. Hartley and Co.'s man. He sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. IRIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

At the laying of the , foundation stone of an industrial ragged school and chuvch at Kirkdale, near Liverpool, on Saturday, the Earl of Derby said—" I believe that in the his tory of the world no cox retry already possessed of so large a population has increase d with the same rapidity that this country has in the course of the last half century. This is the more remarkable, because that rapid increase which has gone on from day to day--and I may say from hour to hour —is the effect not only of the excess of births over deaths within the country, but of the excess of the births against the deaths and beyond the deaths—that constant stream of emigration which is constantly being poured forth from our redundant population to lay the foundation of future em pires, and to add to the population and to add to the wealth of our widely-extended colonies and of other friendly States. (Cheers.) Nor is there any more certain test than the rapid increase of population of the physical well-being of a coun try; and those who can look back for the same lengthened period that I can, or even those who can look back for a much shorter period of years, must be well aware that, to • gether with that great increase in the numbers of our popu lation, there has been a corresponding increase in the physi cal comforts of the great body of the people. (Hear, hear.) I do not say—far from it—that there is not among the working-classes much undeserved sulYering ; but this I do say, that, taking the middle and working classes as a whole, it is inconceivable, except to those who have aetually wit- and nessed it, what a change has taken place in their condition, in their comforts, in their clothing, in their food, and in all ho habits and conveniences of life within the course of the last 25 or 30 years. We have in this well-being of our country great cause for congratulation and thankfulness to Him who is the giver of all good. But if we turn from the physical well being of the population to their moral progress and theirreli gious advancement, I doubt whether we have equal cause to congratulate ourselves in that point of view. The truth is, and the truth ought to be spoken—we are at this moment suffering from the supineness and from the apathy of our ancestors. Years ago the vast increase of the population was looked upon, no doubt, with triumph and with satisfao. tion, as adding to the power and wealth of the country ; but it was looked upon without a due appreciation of the greatest moral and social and religious consequences which must flow from an increase of an ill-educated and irreligious population. I do not say that this has been the case univer sally. I do not say that it has been the case in many of the country districts where a great increase of the population has not taken place, and where there is little room for the exercise of those kindly sympathies between the upper and lower classes which are the cherished bonds of union &tween the various classes in this country—(hear) ; but it is in the great towns, it is in those great hives of industry to which our redundant populations flock for employment, to the influx of population and the increase of buildings, with regard to which you have only to turn your eyes around you and survey what is going on in this neighbourhood, which has caused this population to increase beyond the possibility of the means of religious and moral superintend ence and instruction. In these great towns there is little room, comparatively speaking, for the social intercourse between high and low, rich and poor. The immense size of the parishes, and of the townships, and the immense numbers of the population baffle efforts of the most zealous ministers, whether belonging to the Established Church or to those numerous Dissenting sects of whom, widely as I differ from them, I wish to speak with all gratitude and all respect for their exertions in the cause of education and of religion. (Cheers.) But here a population, I say has grown up which has mocked at all our efforts, which has defeated all our endeavours, which has outgrown all our means, moral and pecuniary ; and, although it is quite true that the present generation is awaken ing to a painful and an active consciousness of this great evil, and of the necessity of ap ' plying a remedy, our difficulties in doing so are much the greater inasmuch as a longer time has elapsed, and we are not combatting now the origin and the first seeds of a disease, but we are contending against a well established and systematic disease, which is gaining strength almost exceeding that which we can apply as a remedy to prevent it. It is true, again, that from these causes the vast population in our great towns, and in the suburbs of those great towns, is growing in a state of practical heathenism—l am afraid I must say, in the indulgence of the grossest sensuality, and of that intemperance which statesmen, judges, and magistrates all combine in stating to be the predominant cause which fills our gaols, and wastes us with a criminal population. (Cheers.) It is true that for the criminal population of this country a milder and wiser system of punishment is prevailing. We have learned to substitute a better discipline for those sangui nary scenes which not fifty years ago loaded our scaffolds with criminals, and relieved the population at the expense of a vast number of unhappy criminals' lives. Some per sons, indeed, may believe that the present system runs in the opposite direction, and that this great indulgence is a portion of our criminal discipline ; but, be that as it may, the object which is uniformly held in view now with regard to the criminal population is not indiscriminating vengeance, but it is, if possible, the improvement and the reformation of the convict. (Applause.) But it is painful to say that, so far as adult criminals are concerned, so long as those remain who have been long practised in the habit of vice and crime, the best directed efforts and the wisest discipline are comparatively insufficient to restore theta to a better state of mind ; and too few, comparatively speak ing, of those advanced in life who are subjected to this dis cipline are really, permanently, and in the heart brought to a trite sense of their guilt, and to a sincere and earnest reformation. But with regard to the younger classes, those who are not hardened in crime, those who are seduced by bad example and encouraged by idleness and vicious habits to enter upon the paths of crime, a more hopeful course is opened, and a more cheerful prospect may be entertained for those invaluable institutions which, under the name of reformatories, combine the advantages of penal confinement with those of a moral and an industrial educa- tion. (Cheers.) Again, for the poorest and absolutely desti tute class of the community the workhouse schools furnish no contemptible amount of education, of discipline, and of training. But there is a class of the population untainted with crime, above the condition of the absolutely destitute poor, yet below the scale of what may be called decent poverty, for which neither in criminal reformatories—for which they are not fit subjects—nor in the workhouse—to which they either are not admitted or are unwilling to enter —is any provision made, and who, except by the instrumen tality of that of which I am laying the first stone to -day, must grow up inevitably, from idleness to vice, and from vice probably to swell the lists of our criminal population. It is for that portion of the community—who, I repeat, are untainted by vice hitherto—it is for them that the hand of well-directed and well-devised charity has contrived these invaluable institutions—(hear, hear)—in which they will receive, in the strictest sense of the word, a true, a moral, and a religious education." (Cheers.) After alluding to the benefits conferred upon society by such institutions, his Lordship said— " The object of all fitting education is to suit the child and afterwards the man for fitly discharging his duty in the state of life to which it has pleased God to call him, and fit him to be a good and faithful subject here, a useful member of society, and so to live that, through the mercy of God, he shall enter upon a higher and holier state of existence hereafter. (Renewed applause.) Wisely, then, you do not in these schools attempt any ♦ery high flight of knowledge with any very great expanse of science. Wisely, most wisely, do you devote a very considerable portion of each day, not to the acquisition of mental knowledge, but to the acquisition of those habits of industry which are to form the future means of subsistence of those whom you are bringing up. But it is not only that you promise for them future means of subsistence. Admitted into these schools—in which they need not blush for the rags in which they are clothed, because they see that all are so alike—admitted into these schools, taught some industrial calling, and at the same time imbued with moral and religious teaching, these unhappy children become fresh beings, with fresh consciences, with fresh feelings, with a knowledge that they are far different and destined for far higher ends than ever entered into their comprehension before, and with an amount of self-respect and habits of useful and happy in dustry which will secure them, by the blessing of God, against all the temptations of those callings upon which they must enter when they quit the shelter of these institu tions. These, then, are the many objects of ragged—more properly and appropritely called ragged and industrial— schools for the youthful population in our great towns. need hardly say it is an object that commends itself to the deepest interest of ministers of religion, and to all those who have at heart the well-being of their fellow-creatures. But this institution proposes to go much further. I have stated, and I am afraid it is a lamentable fact, that of those deeply involved in crime a small portion only arc brought back to habits of industry and of religion. But hod forbid that I should say that there is not a vast proportion of the lower classes of the population, who have hitherto been wholly in different to or alienated from religious things, upon whom time, opportunity, and eiample may not perform wonders in bringing them up to that flock from which in ignorance they have been wandering, and causing them to form part of that one flock, in that one fold, under that one Shepherd of the rich and poor alike." (Applause) After alluding to the accommodation in the school, his lordship continued:— " It is intended to combine with the education of the children the religious and moral training of the parents, and bring together a large portion of the population into a church free and open to every one, without money and without price. (Cheers.) Now; it is a remark which has often been made, and it is one of painful significance, that even among the respectable portion of the working classes, of the mechanics of this great country, there is a very large proportion who, from various causes, never enter the house of God—a very large proportion whe never know any thing of the truths and of the comforts of religion. , Various causes, no doubt, there are for this, which is a most lamentable symptom of our condition—this total ab sence of a largo portion of the population from the service of God, either according to the principles of the Established Church or of any dissenting body; but I believe that, apart from hostility to religion, apart from what is more common still, absolute indifference and ignorance, there are two pre.. veiling causes which tend to drive front our churches even the best disposed and most respectable portion. of, I will not say our pauper, but of the poorest of our population. The one is in the appropriation of the greater portion of the seats in our churches, and above all the best seats, to the richer ' and easier classes of society—(hear, hear, and cheers)—to the exclusion of the poor man, or to his relegation into the. most inconvenient, distant, and inadequate seats. (Renewed cheers.) Now this, lam afraid, is an evil inherent in hu man nature, and an evil of such antiquity that it formed a ground for a rebuke and a reproof upon the part of the Apostles themselves; for St. James himself distinctly points to this ungracious distinction in the earliest Christian churches between rich and poor, and notices it as a fact for condemnation and amendment. The other cause is, I be lieve, an honest shame of parading the wretched garments in which the poorer classes are clad in immediate contiguity with the better and richer garments of the wealthier and more easy-to-do portion of the parish. Ido not say that this is a feeling which is to be altogether vindicated, but it is a feeling which is not unnatural, and a feeling for which we should make every indulgence and allowance. Nor do I say, again, that I condemn as absolutely and entirely as some persons are disposed to do the appropriation of parti cular seats, provided a sufficient amount are set apart for those who are not enabled to obtain spiritual acoommoda tion ; on the contrary, I believe it tends to the solemnity, regularity, and order of parochial worship. I am sure it tends very much to the influence of the best feelings when father, mother, and children can entec the house of God with a knowledge that there is a seat to which they may go with a certainty of being together and united, to offer up their prayers and praises, and hear,the Word of God. (Hear.) But I am far from condemning the appropriation of certain seats to those who are able and willing to increase the means of the Church by paying for the accommodation, provided it is not granted to the exclusion of those who have no such means of paying for the accommodation, and who are equal by the law of the land, and who by the con sittution of the Church have an absolute equal right with the richest of the rich to enter and worship Glad in the pariah church, which is not for the rich alone, but. for every parishioner, rich and poor. (Cheers.) Well, then, but in this case we have to deal, not with a mixed population; but with a population all of whom are of the poorest class, few of whom can afford anything, and none of whom. can afford any considerable sum for separate accommodatio a for them selves. We are providing the means of religions worship for those who are clad in rags, and who will not be shocked by the comparison of the silks and satins of their richer neighbours ; and in this case I say it is most important, not that there should be some free seats, but that every seat in this church school which is about to be built should be free and equal, without payment of money or price, and that no amount of poverty of clothing or squalid destitution should be sufficient to e:eclude the very poorest of the poor who are willing to enter' and wor ship from His house in whose eyes rich and pool! are alike, and the distinction of rank and title are as nothing. (Loud applause.) This, then, is the object for which are have met to-day. I believe the Christian liberality of the people of this neighbourhood, who can well afford it, will not suffer this great work to fail for want of funds. Every motive which can actuate men conspires to recommend the support and countenance of this undertaking ; the peace of the dis trict, the good order, the sobriety, the cleanliness the tem perance—let me take the meanest and the lowest motive, the diminution of the burdens which are entai led upon a parish by the augmentation of its criminal population; but from those let me go to higher motives—viz., the duty which you owe to your Christian fellow-creatures, or to those who, if not your Christian fellow-creatures„ it is your highest object and aim to make your Christian fellow-crea tures. So perform your duty to that God who, as lie would not that a sparrow should fall to the ground without His knowledge, would not that one of those little ones should perish." (Cheers.) Lord Derby then formally laid the stone, and after ad dresses from Canon Stowell, the Mayor of Livenvool, and Mr. W. Brown, ex-M.P. for South Lancashire, the pro ceedings terminated. THE MURDER IN TILE QUEEN'S PARK, EDINBURGH. Notwithstanding the exertions of the police and the county criminal authorities, it is believed that very little transpired on Monday to clear up the mystery which overhangs the dreadful tragedy of Sunday morning. A number of persons, includ ing five or six soldiers from Piershill, were exa mined by the Procurator-Fiscal during the forenoon, principally with a view to throw light upon the in tercourse had by the deceased girl with the soldiers in whose company she was seen on Saturday even ing, and especially with the prisoner Tanner. These preliminary examinations are, however, in accord ance with the usual custom in criminal cases in Scot land, conducted with the utmost privacy. Early in the forenoon a story got into circulation to the effect that at the time Tanner and Quin were ap prehended in Campbell's-close on Sunday afternoon, two other soldiers of the same regiment were sit ting in an adjoining house in the same close ; and that, on hearing of the apprehension which had taken place, they got themselves dressed in civi lians' clothing, hurriedly left the house, got into a cab, and drove off. The police immediately set about sifting the story, and proceeded to search the house in question ; but the result of their investi gation and inquiries was to satisfy them that the two suspected men were cab .drivers, who went out about the time stated to their cabs. About two o'clock a boy residing in the Canon gate was playing in the enclosed piece of ground between the Abbey-hill and Regent-road, in which the old stones of Trinity College Church are placed. While running about he came upon a girl's shift, a little cotton printed bed-gown, and a white worsted stocking, apparently thrust in among the loose stones and debris towards the east end of the park. The boy took them home, but they were soon afterwards brought by his parents to the police office. There are two slight stains of blood on the shift, but none on the other articles. In the course of the afternoon the whole of the articles were identified by the members of Mr. Slater's household as having belonged to the deceased, and it is pro bable that they formed part of the contents of the bundle which the girl carried with her from the house. From some statement made, it is believed, by the by the prisoner Tanner, during the day, a request was sent to the castle to ascertain all the men of the 78th who had been out during Saturday night on leave, and to order their attendance at the Pro curator-Fiscal's office. The request was complied with, and between five and half-past eight o'clock on Monday night upwards of 20 of these men were examined. Tanner, who was shown to all the wit nesses, bore himself in a very cool and unconcerned manner. He is a tall, slight made young man, barely 20 years of age, and would scarcely from his appearance be taken for a person likely to commit the brutal crime laid to his charge. He states that he is a native of Paisley, but speaks with English accent. No evidence of any kind has, it is believed, been obtained against Quin • and he has accordingly been handed over to his military superiors at Piers hill, where he has been placed under arrest on the charge of absenting himself from the barracks with out leave. No trace has yet been discovered of the " corporal" whom some of the witnesses thought they had seen in company with the girl on Satur day night or Sunday morning ; nor of the two ab sentees still missing from Piershill. It was considered advisable not to proceed with the post-mortem examination on Monday, as had been directed, in order to give a further opportu nity to witnesses to identify the body—not as that of Elizabeth Slater, regarding which there is no doubt—but as that of the girl seen in company with the soldiers in the Queen's-park and else where' on Saturday night. The medical exami nation was, however, to be made yesterday. It is considered a curious circumstance that no one heard the girl cry out during the struggle which it is believed mast have taken place in the Queen's-park before her death. The watchman employed to guard the tank in the course of erec tion on the face of the hill, directly opposite the trees, neither, it is said, saw nor heard anything to attract his attention.
