MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. More activity has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Sugars have been at slightly improved prices, while tea, coffee, and cocoa have been fairly dealt in at late quotations. In rice the transactions have been limited, and prices have undergone no material variation. The dealings in saltpetre have been to a fair extent, and prices have given way. In tal low a steady business has been transacted for both present and forward delivery, and, owing to the limited stock on hand, quotations have undergone an advance. Rather more activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were tolerably well supported. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The demand for money is well supported, but bills can be negotiated on previous rates. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The bar silver by the last West India steamer has been sold at ss. lid. per oz. standard. The steamer Ripon, which leaves to-morrow for India and China, will take out £10,216 in gold and £375,404 in silver, making a total of £385,620, of which the Government remit £98,562 to Hong Kong. The New South Wales Government have given notice that debentures, amounting to £185,060, will fall due within the current year, and will be pay able at the Oriental Bank Corporation ; after which no further interest will accrue on the said deben tures. _ Notice has been given that the interest on Spanish 3 per Cent. Consolidated, ditto Deferred Bonds, and New South Wales Government Deben tures will be paid on and after the Ist proximo. There has not been much animation to-day in the market for public securities, and the variation in prices has also been limited. Towards the close of business yesterday afternoon the funds tended upwards, and the improvement has been tolerably well maintained, Consols being 931 s ex. dividend. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities are steady at 981 1. Long Annuities have receded to 161, India 5 per Cont. Enfaced Paper is heavy at 974 ' ditto 51 per Cent. ditto remained at 102 , and the Debentures are 961. Exchequer Bills 3s. to 5s prem. A moderate amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices are steady. Turkish per Cents. are 771 to 771 ; ditto New, 601 to 60:1; Brazilian 4f per Cents.

The Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 11 I pm. ; the Thames and Mersey ditto, a 1 prem.; and the Universal, par / prem. A firmer tone has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, and several of the principal British lines are at slightly advanced quotations. Caledo nians, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, and Scottish North-Eastern improved ss. ; Midland, North-Eastern (York), and South-Eastern, 10s. ; and North British, 15s.

Consols for Account, ex div 931 a THE PURGATORY OF THE BATH. Long and persevering homilies from the medical profession on the virtues of water on the functions of the skin, have had the happy effect of establish ing the cold bath amongst our permanent English institutions, and spreading widely the habit of employing frequent and tonic ablutions with cold water, which may be described as amongst the chief fortifiers of the British constitution, and the wonder, but not the envy, of continental nations. The cold bath is certainly better understood in England than anywhere else. But it may reasonably be doubted whether the warm bath has been studied with equal success. Our notion of warm baths includes merely a great deal of hot water, or hot vapour, and a cer tain proportion of soap, or medicinal tincture, ac cording to the purposes of the bath. This was not the hot bath of the ancients : this is not the hot bath of the orientals. They employed a far more ingenious and a far more effective combination of hot air, hot vapour, hot water, and skilful frictions. Such were the baths which Hippocrates, Galen, and Celsus prescribed : such were the baths of which Homer . sings the praises in the " Odyssey," and w . inch Herodotus says that even the Scythians used the Trojan War. These were the baths of which Justin records that the Romans taught the art to the Spaniards as early as the Second Punic War ; and of which Julius Caesar brought the secret even to these islands. Of the stately erections consecrated to the service of the bathers remains are yet widely extant—monuments of luxury and splendour. The art has long fallen into abey ance i n th e wes t, b u t has survived in the east. Its restoration has been amongst the consequ e n ces o f our C r i mean W ar . The luxuries of the Turkish bath were then so widely felt that the attempt to introduce it into Great Britain has met with a deserved succ ess . The credit of this revival is greatly due to Dr. Naughton, who has energetically pressed on the construction of such baths in Ireland, where they have been in use now some time, and are eff e cti ng a revolution in bathing , which has only recently ex tended to London. In these Turkish baths, soap and water are purely secondary agents ; they a re considered asbarbarous, clumsy, and effete means of cleansing. The bather is first conducted into a room , which is practically a large oven, lighted from the top, and filled with moist air. This is very far , how ever, from being vapour bath; the quantity of wate r y vapour is small, and does not affect the transpiration of water by the skin. Of course a profuse sweating is induced, and the skin is thoroughly softened. It is a hot bath without water, or rather with the aid of very little water. From this chamber he passes to an other, th,ecalidarium, where, freely perspiring, he is rubbed with towels or goat's-hair gloves; and so great is the effect of the prior treatment that the softened outside rolls off in thick flakes, and a new skin is found beneath of w hi c h the subject of the operation little dreamed. No one who takes a Turkish bath for the first time but must be astonished at the quan tity of unnecessary cuticle which he carries about with him. Adepts tell you that "it requires great d ex terity to perform thi s well without rubbing some places too much and others too little." Now comes a drenching with warm wat er and soap, which is not the most agreeable part of the bath, and may be considered partially unnecessary. Then the bather passes back to the tepidarium to-vels ;' and where he is d r i e d a nd clothed in warm , after a where,pau p ause, thence to the frigidarium, or cool chamber, s till clothed in warm towels, ' he s ip s coffee, smokes narghilet, and indulges in beatific sensation a which only those caa know who have p asse d t h rough the three purgatories of the bath. The Turki s h b a th i s an agent of such great power in restorin g th e ac ti ve functions of the skin, and the results o f it s ap plication are so peculiarly agreeable and invigorat ing, that it will probably excite the attention of medical practitioners in its relations to disease. It is a powerful agent, of which the virtues are appa rent ; but incautiously employed by persons liable to congestion of the head or organs of the chest, it is not free from dangers, as some unfortunate cir cumstances have already proved.—The Lancet.

HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingston, and other Peers.) ROWBOTHAiI AND OTHERS V. WILSON. This is an appeal by way of writ of error, by which it is sought to set aside a decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber, affirming a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, delivertd on a special case stated for their opinion in favour of the defendant. The action was brought by Daniel Row 'rotham, having a reversion in fee of certain lands situated in the parish of Bedworth, in the county of Warwick, to recover from the defendant, William Wilson, damages in respect of injury done to his houses and lands, by reason of the defendant having worked his mines underneath his property without leaving sufficient supports. The special case stated that the plaintiff was reversioner in fee of houses erected after an award was made by the Commissioner enclosing the lands for more than twenty years before the grievance complained of, and also of the surface of the land. And that the defendant after , wards worked the coal mine underneath without having supports. The defendant stated that he worked the mine with skill and care, according to the usage of the country. The plaintiff stated that his property was destroyed there by, that h's houses were rendered uninhabitable, and the lands unfit for cultivation. That no natural or artificial pillars were left for support, in terms of the Act 9, Geo. 3. The defendant contended that the right of the plaintiff to support of his surface was qualified, and subject to the right of the defendant to work his mines, and the plaintiff having derived his title from tke award, was bound by the cove • nants in it, and that a right to have the surface supported , would be destructive of the grant of the mine. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decisions of the Exche quer Chamber and Court of Queen's Bench, and dismissed the appeal with costs. The other noble and learned lords concurred. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Lord Chief Justice Erie.) CATTAWAY AND WIFE V. SMITH.-THE PROCTORS OF CAMBRIDGE AND THEIR POWERS. This ease was resumed this morning by Mr. O'Malley, on the part of the defendant. From the opening speech of Mr. Edwin James, it ap apeared that Mrs. Cattaway was the wife of a fireman on the Eastern Counties Railway, living at Cambridge, and the defendant was a proctor in the university in that town. In another case which was now down for trial before his lordship a very serious question would arise as to the power of the proctors to imprison women found in the streets of the town, but in the present case the defendant did not justify his act, and therefore the only question here would be whether he had done what was complained of. He should prove that it was under the defendant's orders that she was arrested and imprisoned, that she was under his control whilst in prison, and that it was by his order that she was discharged. If he proved this the simple question would be the amount of damages. On the 23th March last, in the evening, Mrs. Cattaway was speaking to two females for whom she washed, and they were standing in St. Andrew-street, when the proctor came up, accompanied by two persons who were denominated " bull dogs " (laughter)—and it was not a bad name for them, for their doings caused constant scenss of violence in the town, and the whole three were taken to the spinning -house. This spinning -house was a kind of private prison, containing cells, and belonging to the University of Cambridge. The proc tors claimed the right to go up to any woman in the town and say, " I suspect you of being an improper character," and order her to the spinning-house, where, without any evidence on oath, the Vice Chancellor sentenced unhappy women to a fortnight, a month, or even two months' con finement. In the present case Mrs. Cattaway was only detained about half an hour, but this confinement had seriously affected her character, for a large number of per sons were assembled round the spinning -house when she was discharged, and she remained up to this time with the stigma upon her of having been imprisoned as a woman of the town. The hardship of the case, too, was, that when she was taken up she had done nothing that could give offence to any human being. At the conclusion of the evidence for the defendant, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £5O. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (Sittings in Error, before Justices Wightman, Williams, Crompton, Willes, Byles, Blackburn, and Keating.) DARELL, BART., V. STURGIS, PROVISIONAL ASSIGNEE. This case raised a question upon the Statute of Limita tions as regarded specialties. A bond was dated in 1821; payment became duo in 1822. An action was commenced in 1831, which was held over for compromise until 1835, when the obligor died. In 1852 the obligee became insolvent, and Sturgis was appointed provisional assignee. In 1857 letters of administration were granted to the defen • dant below, and in 1851 the present action was brought. The question was, whether the action was not barred by the statute of 3 and 4 William IV., c. 32. The case now came before this Court on error on the judgment of the Ea• chequer. Judgment affirmed. THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY V. GLADSTONE. This case ca.sto before this Court upon a bill of excep tions to the ruling of a judge. The action was one of rjeet meat, brought by the plaintiff to recover a copyhold tene ment in- the manor of West Derby. The case was tried at Liverpool. The plaintiff proved that he was h,rd of the manor of West Derby, and had been so since 1824. The defendant was admitted tenant of the manor to a copyhold tenement in 1826, and it was alleged that he had broken the surface and had dug clay for the purpose of making the soil into bricks which were sold off the manor, and it was al leged that this operated as a forfeiture. The defendant relied upon immemorial usage as being sufficient to prove a custom, and the judge upon the trial directed the jury that if the custom was proved in fact it was good in law, and to this ruling there was a bill of exceptions, and the question now was, whether an alleged custom for the copyhold tenants of a manor to take the surface —to take the clay—to make it into bricks, and to carry them off the manor, and sell them for purposes not connected with the manor, was good and valid in law. Judgment affirmed. POLICE INTE LLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) M ARLBO ROUGH- STREET. DOUBTFUL C ASB. — Catherine Jones, a smart-looking young woman, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a gold watch of the value of £lO from the person of James Twiddy, valet, 145, Piccadilly. The prosecutor said he met the prisoner on the morning of Wednesday last, and while walking with her suddenly felt a tug at his watch, and on turning round his watch was gone and the prisoner too. There were others near at the time. • The prisoner said the prosecutor had taken her for some one else. It was not her. The proslcutor said he was confident it was the prisoner, and he gave a description at Vine-street. Brown, 304 A, said the prisoner agreed with the descrip ion, upon which Mr. Beadon said ho would remand her for a week. BRUTAL ASSAULT. —John Mattos, a tall, powerful look ing mulatto, who described himself as an interpreter, and who has frequently been at this court charged with assaults, was again charged with an assault on a female, named Murphy, who sells fruit. The prisoner, imagining that the female had caused a coffee-shop door to be closed against him, struck her two or three severe blows with his clenched fist, knocking her down, and while on the ground kicked her several times. Mr. Beadon, having commented in severe terms on the prisoner's brutality, committed him for three months, tell ing the prosecutrix, who appealed for further protection, that she should have any she might require. THAMES, THE DIA IND MARINEIt aIIbTILESSIN CASE. Mr. Thomas Bellshaw, surgeon's-assistant, of No. 2, St. Paul's terrace, South-grove, Mile-end, led into court a poor blind man, named John Browning, aged 22, who has been in the East India Company's service as a seaman in the Naval Brigade, and has totally lost his sight. He came home from India on the 6th of April last, went into the Opthal mic Hospital, Moorfields, and was discharged as incurable. ;While in the hospital he met with a fellow-patient, Mr. Bellshaw, who, fortunately for himself, has been discharged improved, and who, out of compassion, has taken charge of Browning for the last fortnight. Mr. Bellshaw said the poor man was quite destitute, and he wished to get him into some institution for the blind, where he might learn a trade and obtain the means of supporting himself. Mr. Selfe said this was a case really deserving the atten tion of the benevolent, and, with that kindness and humanity which has distinguished his career as a magis trate ever since his appointment, said he would use his in fluence and interest himself as zealously as possible to b tain the admission of the poor blind man into the asylum for the blind in the New-road, St. Pancras. In reply to questions by the magistrate, Browning, who is a fine young fellow, said he was utterly destitute, and all he had to receive was £3 from the East India Company. Mr. Selfe immediately wrote a letter to the committee of the institution in the New Road, and requested Browning to wait uptn him again next Saturday for an answer. He should be much obliged if the reporters would notice this case in the journals, for it appeared to be a deserving one. He deeply lamented the affliction that had befallen Brown ing, and said he hoped to communicate something favour able when he saw the blind man again. Browning was then led out of court by his kind-hearted friend, who said he would take care of him until Saturday. CRICKET.—ENGLAND V.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 2. M. de Lesseps' proceedings since his arrival here by last mail are somewhat shrouded in mystery, and nothing more is known than that immediately on his arrival at Alexandria he started off to see the Viceroy, from - whom he has met with a most flattering reception, and that he declares the works in the Isthmus are to be pushed on more actively than ever. What this may amount to remains to be seen, as also whether the Turkish Government is not labouring under too heavy a pressure, in respect to other matters of more vital importance, to exercise its admitted rights in conformity with what is well known to be the, view it takes of its interests in the question. This much, however, the report of the meeting of shareholders at Paris on the 15th ult. has placed beyond all doubt —namely, that what ever further sums may be spent in the Isthmus of Suez Desert, it is this unfortunate country which will have to bear the heaviest part of the burden. We are informed that a balance of account exists against Said Pasha amounting to "15,248,000 f. M. de Lesseps, moreover, tells us that this is already credited with disbursements made by the Viceroy to the extent of 2,395,000 E, the whole I being passed against the call for the first two-tenths I of the amount of shares which his Highness has been induced to take on his own account. It fol lows, therefore, that nearly one-haif the capital of the company will have to be furnished by the Egyptian Treasury, the embarrassed state of which you are already well acquainted with. In other words, the sum which it is proposed to divert from legitimate and much-needed purro3es of internal improvements amounts to no less than £3,500,000 sterling. It is needless to inquire the means of persuasion that have been used with Said Pasha to induce him to enter into these heavy liabilities ; but AI. de Lesseps' report, taken as it is, is an explicit avowal that already, as a financial undertaking, the scheme has utterly f a il e d ; th a t i n France, according to his own statements, he has been able to obtain sub scribers for little more than half the capital; that in no other country, in spite of all efforts, has he been able to induce capitalists to join; and that it is only by having recourse to the Egyptian Viceroy that the scheme has been preserved from spontane ously falling to pieces. M. de Lesseps compliments his 'shareholders on their intelligence in having been able to discern the immense material advantage they are to derive from their participation in the scheme ; and well he may, for it is shown that no capitalists of any other nation in the world possess that amount of in telligence, and that even in France it is by no means universal. Certain " grave difficulties" stated to have been raised towards the beginning of last year by adver saries of the scheme claim a passing notice, but are otherwise very lightly touched upon. This can only have reference to the fact that the sentiments of the Egyptian Government in regard to the duties it owes towards the Porte were at that time very different from what they would now appear to be. Last year the Egyptian Government protested against any attempt to execute the works without the consent of the Porte, which it was de clared had from the beginning been established as an indispensable condition to the execution of active operations, and in a circular despatch addressed to the European diplomatic agents in the month of June, a translation of which appeared in the columns of the Times, after repeating the above the Viceroy expressed " his determination to oppose the opera tions that bad then been commenced on the terri tory of the Isthmus," and called upon the Consuls " to require those of their subjects whom it might concern forthwith to cease in their participation, in order that the Egyptian Government might not be placed in a situation which would compel it to have recourse to measures that might be ren dered necessary for insuring the exercise of its rights." The process of reasoning by means of which so complete a reversal is now made in the ideas of the Sultan's rights in the matter must be left to the appreciation of M. Lesseps' readers ; but, what ever distinction he may make between the expres - sions "le pereement der Isthme" and " le creusement" of what is called "le canal de l'union des deux inners," it happens unfortunately for his arguments that the precise words made use of by Said Pasha in the letter to M. Lesseps which accompanied the firman of concession were that the works " relatifs au pC7 cement d r I sthme" could only be executed upon receiving the authority of the Sublime Porte. M. Lesseps contrasts the course which he states was pursued by the British Government agents with the ingeniousness (les habitudes loyales) of French diplomacy. His assurances of the exist ence of such habits of upright singlemindedness will be doubly pleasant to dwell upon after having seen how easily a line of argument may be adopted to prove that what is meant is exactly the reverse of what is said. The Egyptain Viceroy, it appears, is now in volved under a positive engagement to sink a large sum in the scheme ; but this is not all, for there is the strongest reason to believe that when the ex penditure of money comes to an end, either through the interposition of the Porte, or with any pretext that may be adopted to save the bubble from burst ing, a strong, and perhaps successful, attempt will be made to render the Egyptian Government re sponsible for what has been done, and to cast the whole weight of losses upon this country,probably also with claims for indemnity. In making the foregoing remarks my chief aim has been to endeavour to point out the perilous nature, politically speaking, of the position in which the Egyptian Government is placing itself, and the fresh difficulties that are being added to an already embarrassed state of finances. These are matters which the British public can not afford to look upon with feelings of unconcern, though without the slightest wish to interfere, whether by word or deed, with the investments into which either French or any other speculators might wish to enter with their own private funds. The office of Chaplain to the British Protestant Church at Alexandria has been rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. E. Winder. A meeting of the British residents has accordingly been held for the purpose of agreeing upon a petition to the Foreign-office for the appointment of a successor. The minimum amount of contributions from the congregation towards payment of the clergyman's stipend has been guaranteed at £250 per annum, and as under the Act of Parliament the Govern ment furnishes an equal sum, the guaranteed annual salary is £5OO a year, besides the proceeds of pew-rents. _ _ _ In alluding to this subject, I cannot forbear men tioning the sorrow that has been caused by the loss kustained through the death of Mr. Winder, more especially so as in giving expression to the feelings of deep respect which he had earned through his unobtrusive piety and virtues I am merely echoing the universal estimate held of his character by all who knew him, whether it were within or without the immediate circle of his flock. It is not least to his high praise that after a ministry of nearly 20 years, he has left his congregations undivided by party spirit or dissensions of any kind, a thing of which there are, unfortunately, but few examples among other communities situated similarly to that of Alexandria. Since writing the preceding I learn that M. Lessaps has received from Said Pasha a concession for 99 years of Lake Menzalah, against an annual rent somewhat above that at which the fisheries in the lake had hitherto been farmed by the Govern ment. TILE AMERICAN SENATE. Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, who was so bru tally struck down in the Senate four years ago by Mr. Brooks, of South Carolina, has just made his first speech since the oration that caused the former assault. The length renders it impossible for us to give more than an extract, but the following may be taken as a specimen of the whole : " Look at it in the light of principle, and it is nothing less than a huge insurrection against the internal law of God, involving in its pretensions the denial of all human rights, and also the denial of the Divine law, in which God himself is manifest, thus being practically the grossest lie and the grossest Atheism. Founded in violence, sus tained only by violence, such a wrong must by a sure law of compensation blast the master as well as the slave ; blast the lands on which they live; blast the community of which they are a part ; blast the Government which does not forbid the outrage ; and the longer it exists and the more completely it prevails must its blasting influences penetrate the whole social system. Barbarous in origin ; barbarous in its law ; barbarous in all its pretensions; barbarous in the instru ments it employs; barbarous in consequences; barbarous in spirit ; barbarous wherever it shows itself, slavery must breed barbarians,while it developes everywhere, alike in the individual and in the society of which he forms a part, the essential elements of barbarism. In this character it is now conspicuous before the world. In undertaking now to ex pose the barbarism of slavery the whole broad field is open before me. There is nothing in its character, its manifold wrongs, its wretched results, and especially in its influence on the class who claim to be ' ennobled' by it, that will not fall naturally under consideration. Slavery is a bloody touch-me-not, and everywhere in sight now blooms the bloody flower. It is on the wayside as we approach the national capitol ; it is on the marble steps which we mount; it flaunts on this floor. I stand now in the house of its friends. About me, while I speak, are its most sensitive guardians, who have shown in the past how much they are ready either to do or not do where slavery is in question. Menaces to deter me have not been spared. But I should ill deserve this high post of duty here, with which I have been honoured by a generous and enlightened people, if I could hesitate. Idolatry has been often exposed in the presence of idolaters, and hypocrisy h as b een chastised in j the presence of Scribes and Pharisees." 1021 2 C 99 1011 I 301 I 30 1 D EDITION.

AIPKRIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(Tins EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Walchet Harbour, the Border Counties, and North British Railway Bills were read a second time. The Upper Mersey Dues and the London and Blackwall Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. CHURCH RATES. The Duke cf SOMERSET presented petitions in favour of the abolition of church-rates. Earl DE GREY and Lord TAUNTON presented similar petitions. - The Earl of DERBY presented petitions from the 'Uni versity of Oxford and places in Lancashire against the abolition of church-rates. Viscount DUNGANNON presented similar petitions. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH presented similar peti tions. The Bishop of LONDON presented 50 petitions with a similar prayer. A great number of petitions, both for and against the abolition, were presented by Earl Granville, the Duke of Rutland, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Earl Nelson, Lord Lyvedon, Lord Teynham, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and Lord Redesdale. Lord LYVEDON then rose, and having presented two petitions, one from Manchester signed by 5,000 persona, and the other from Liverpool with 15,000 signatures, said he would proceed to move the second reading of the Church Rates Abolition Bill. It had been said that the Wesleyans were indifferent to the abolition of those rates, but the petitions he had presented that evening proved the contrary. In acquitting himself of that duty he begged the indulgence of the house, because in the course of his remarks he might make soma observations which would not be in accordance with the opinions of many of their lord ' ships. The 6noble lord then referred to the apposition with respect to the corn laws and the removal of the Jew • 1 ish disabilities act, both of which measures eventually re ceived the assent of both houses of parliament. The same opposition had been made to the abolition of Church Rates, but as in the former cases success had crowned the efforts of those who had advocate' the former measures, he did hope the same success would result upon the present occasion. It was not from any hostility to the Church of England that he had undertaken the present duty ; on the contrary, his whole feelings were with the Church. (Hear, hear.) In proceedingwith his task he would first refer to the law as it at present existed. With respect to the repairs of the church there at present existed a legal obligation, but there was no legal remedy, and he should like to know what was the value of a right of that description. (Hear, hear.) He thought that such a right, if it were offered for sale, would not be thought worth purchasing ; and a legal right without a legal remedy he could not understand. It might be said why object to a chu ch rate when you submit to a poor-rate, or paving -rate; but the one contained a religious element which the other two did not. For many years there had been efforts to cone 'o some understanding on this vexed question. Sir John Easthope years ago suggested that pew rents be substituted for church-rates, but that was objected to because it was said the Church of England was the church of the poor man. He wished he could believe that it was, but his opinion was that it was quite the contrary, and to call the Church the poor man's was a fiction. The accommodation that was given to the poor was of the worst description. They were either placed where they could neither see nor hear, or else pushed in some out of the way place, and who were the persons who occupied the free seats, as they were called. He did not think they could be called poor; in fact, they were anything but the poor. He then referred to the evidence taken before the commission appointed to inquire into th e subject of Church Rates, which directly proved that the accommoda tion afforded to the poor was of the worst description, and that in many of the metropolitan churches there were no free seats at all. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms Dly.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The West Cork Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The Auchterarder Common Muir Bill (Lords), Portadown, Dungannon, and Omagh Junction Bill (Lords'), and Symington, Biggar, and Broughton Railway Bill (Lords') were considered and ordered for third reading. The Forest of Dean Railway Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Highways Bill, against the alleged aggression on the rights of the House of Commons by the rejection of the Bill for the Repeal of the Paper Duties by the House of Lords, and praying the house to preserve its privileges intact ; from females-, against the Aggravated Assaults Bill, &c., &c. . , TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF L IND (IRE LAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 10. Lord NAAS moved an amendment to the effect that the Landed Estates Court should be substituted for the chair man of the Quarter Sessions as a tribunal far appeals in differences arising respecting improvements proposed to be made by landlords having a limited in' erest in their estates. The noble lord contended that the duties of the chairman of Quarter Sessions were already too onerous, and they could not consequently discharge efficiently the jurisdiction which this bill endeavoured to impose on them. He believed the adoption of his amendment would afford considerable satis faction to the landlords in Ireland. Colonel FRENCH opposed the amendment, on the ground that the Chairman of Quarter Sessions enjoyed the confidence of the country, and there would be a large and unnecessary expens2 in conveying witnesses to Dublin in curred if the proposed substitution were adopted. He denied that the Landed Estates Commission had given satisfaction in dealing with a large number of estates, though he admitted that there had been an improvement in that Court lately. Mr. BRADY congratulated the house on the temperate tone of members in reference to this question, and trusted that nothing would arise to delay its settlement. He thought it would be unjust to compel a landed proprietor to go to Dublin and remain there for days, besides incur ring the expense of bringing witnesses to prove his title. He believed the , adeption of the amendment would entirely paralyse the operation of the bill. Mr. MOORE O'FERRALL supported the amendment, as he considered that although there were some able law yers amongst the thirty assistant••barristers in Ireland, there were others who were not, and he certainly preferred the Landed Estates Commission as a tribunal of appeal. Mr. DAWSON opposed the amendment. Mr. H. HERBERT followed on the same side, as he considered that a lawyer, of ordinary capacity would be competent to decide any question brought before him under the jurisdiction conferred by this bill. Mr. GEORGE supported the amendment, and expressed his pleasure at the manner in which the bill had been dis cussed by both sides of the house, and the general desire exhibited on the part of honourable members to pass this measure. He approved of the reasons which induced the framers of the bill to select the chair man of Quarter Sessions in preference to Landed Estates Commission—in the first place, the former was a local tribunal, cheap, expeditious, easily accessible, and capable of being appealed to on every occasion. This bill dealt with small as well as large estates, and the proprie tors of the former would be deterred by the expense from availing himself of an appeal to the Landed Estates Court. Powers similar to those proposed to be given to the chair man of Quarter Sessions had been conferred on Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland, an analogous tribunal, and the result had been very satisfactory. A chairman of Quarter Ses sions would be quite able to decide on any question arising out of this new jurisdiction, and he would also have the advantage of being able to inspect all property personally. Mr. HASSARD referred to the amendment he had placed on the paper, and contended that the Board of Works would be the proper tribunal of appeal. After some discussion, Mr. CARDWELL said that the bill was framed most carefully, and he believed that its operation would prove as beneficial in Ireland as the Enclosure of Land Act'had done in this country. He did not consider that, whichever tribunal was decided on, much expense would be incurred by suitors, and as the majority of speakers seemed in favour of the se lection of the Landed Estates Commission, he would make that concession, though he was in favour of the chairman of Quarter Sessions. After some further discussion, The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against Majority —76 Colonel FRENCH considered that after the adoption of the amendment the bill would be a dead letter, and there fore he would move that the chairman should report progress. After some discussion the hon. and gallant member with drew his motion. Mr. LONGFIELD moved the following amendment : " Line 21, after ' outlay,' insert to a charge upon the lands upon which such improvements shall be made, not exceed ing four years' rent of such lands, or shall be entitled as he may elect." Some conversation ensued, and the amendment was with drawn. Mr. V. SCULLY moved a series of resolutions having for their object giving the Landed Estates Court the power to use the machinery of the Board of Works and the Gene ral Valuation Office, and also to avail themselves of the services of the assistant barrister in the discharge of their duty as an ultimate court of appeal. He stated, however, that if the Government were opposed to his view he would not press his amendment. After a few words from Mr. CARDWELL, the clause, as amended, was agreed to. On clause 11, Mr. M'MAHON suggested the omission of paragraphs 2 and 3, in order to prevent landlords claiming as their pro perty land covered with tidal water. Mr. CARDWELL said it was not r roposod by these paragraphs to confer any power other than that which was exercised daily, and merely enabled a landowner to spend money on his own land. After a short discussion, the clause as amended was agreed to. Clause 12 was also amended and agreed to. The clauses from 13 to 20 were agreed to, with some verbal amendments. The house suspended its sitting at four o'clock. / Tho house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LErr SITTIN9.] TILL' VICTORIA CROSS: (From the Gazette of this evening.)
