Ho recommended that tho bill should be postponed until next session. Mr. T. T. BERNARD supported the bill, which was op posed by Sir J. Trollope, who contended at some length, that it would be better to abolish the law of settlement and removal altogether than to disturb the relations of pro perty and create ill-will between town and country. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and pasfied : —Hastings and St. Leonard's Gas, Oswestry Local Board, Ross Improvement, Shrewsbury and North Wales Rail way, Holston Roads, King's Lynn Docks and Railway, London and South Western Railway (Kensington, &c.), and Lynn and Sutton Bridge Railway Bills. Mr. NEATE admitted that the bill would effect the transfer of a burdon, but, as he believed it was just in prin ciple and would be useful to the community at large, he would vote for it. Mr. ADDERLEY urged the necessity of postponing legislation until the house was in receipt of some better in formation than that set before it by Mr. Villiers. Mr. WARNER was not prepared to go the length of national rating, but he did not think county rating at all too large. The discussion was continued by Sir William Miles, Mr. Walter, Mr. Selater-Booth, and Sir R. Clifton. Mr. HENLEY thought that Mr. Villiers had not dealt candidly with the house in withholding information which was in his department—he alluded to the amount at which tho parishes were rated two years since, and what the ex penditure was last year. The statistical department could then easily calculate what the rate and the expenditure were in each union, and each parish in the union. At midnight the adjournment of the debate was moved by Mr. Knight, and supported by Mr. Algernon Egerton and Mr. Ferrand, but subsequently negatived without a division. The amendment was then put, and on a division the numbers were— For Against Majority _ . . _ The original motion was then put and agreed to, and the bill was read a second time. The report on supply was then brought up. The orders of the day an - dne other business on the paper having been disposed of, the honso then adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

Maurice Cristal, "On the dispersion of skilled labourin the rural districts of France,"from which we glean the following interesting particulars :—ln laze making, the women who live in towns are far inferior to those who live in the country ; they aro not so well paid, because though the price is the same, living in a town is much dearer, and their health soon declines. Hence this sort of work has emigrated to the country ; and, not to men tion Belgium, where lace is a staple, and the females employed in making it amount to about 130,000, there are in the neighbourhood of Arras alone 6,000 lace-makers who earn about a franc a-day, without neglecting their household duties. Glove-making also is gradually leaving the towns to settle definitively in the country. Thus, in the Haute-Marne, a single firm gives em ployment to upwards of 2,000 hands ; in the Isere there are 15,000 needlewomen engaged in the trade, and around Grenoble there are about 1,200 cutters who turn out 600,000 pair of gloves a year, which, at the rate of 30fr. a dozen, represent a sum of from 1,600,000 to 1,700,000 fr. The Grenoble manufactory employs about 600 women in putting the glove on the pattern, then under the cutting press, and preparing it otherwise for the needle. Such women, when clever, earn from 70f. to 80f. a month. The remuneration for sewing gloves is at the rate of about 4fr. 50c. a dozen with one button, and 4fr. 75c. with two, but the sewer must find her own thread. The cutting of precious stones, whether genuine or imitation, is a trade that has taken up its abode on the heights of the Jura, at Septmencel (except the diamond, which is cut by ma chinery at Amsterdam). At the place we have mentioned the women are constantly employed in making imitation jewels, in drilling holes into rubies for watchmakers, &c., and :they earn thereby about 75 cent. per day ; the earnings of thq men in the same sort of work being Ur. 50e.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Westminster Improvement Bill, the Waterford and Passage Railway, and the Wexford Harbour Improvement Bills were read a third time and passed. CRIMINAL CONVICTION AT SLIGO. The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for copies of the papers relating to the conviction of a young girl recently tried by the magistrates of Colooney, in Sligo, named Catherine Gaughan, on the 25th of February last A complaint had been made by the young female against Michael Hart, Hineford Hart, and others, on the charge of assaulting and ill-treating her in divers ways, and putting her; into duress and de taining her in confinement for some days, until she was released by a magistrate's order ; and also of the con viction of Sub-Inspector Broke, and others of the police, from having been present at that outrage in open day and declining to interfere and rescue Catherine Gaughan from the brutal treatment to which she had been subjected; and for a copy of the decision of the inspector-general of the constabulary upon the conduct of the individuals of the force incul pated on that occasion. Tho noble lord entered into a detail of the facts connected with this case, from which it appeared that the female in question, who had attained the years of discretion, went to Scotland, and there seceded from the Roman Catholic Church. On her return to Ireland, this act led to the com mission of the offence which he had brought under the notice of the house, in consequence of the failure of her friends and the Roman Catholic clergymen to coerce her to return to the creed from which she conscientiously departed. He was not one of those who had any bigoted feelings to wards members of the Roman Catholic persuasion, among whom he had many friends. Ho had used his influence towards the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act. He understood that when that act was passed it was with the distinct understanding that no attempt would be made to undermine the Established Church, but that im plied promise had been broken, of which fact this present case was an excellent illustration. Ho con tended that in regard to this young female the police had acted under the direction of a Roman Catholic clergyman in violation of justice and law, and that such a state of things was a disgrace to the present day. He re gretted to say that this was not an isolated case, show ing the practice that prevailed in Ireland, because from facts which had come to his knowledge ho would bo in a position to lay before their lordships another case, which would prove that the Irish constabulary were merely a machine in the hands of the Roman Catholic clergy. (A laugh.) He could asssure their lordships that ho was quite satisfied as to the accuracy of his statement, and he felt bound as a firm member of the Esta blished Church to warn theirlordships against the attempts that were made in Ireland to subvert this Church by acts similar to those he had brought under the notice of their lordships, and which he feared were of too frequent occurrence. Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government had no objection whatever to produce the papers referred to. The Colonial Naval Defence Bill was, on tho motion of the Duke of SOMERSET, read a second time. The Private Bill Costs Bill was passed through com mittee. The Affirmation (Scotland) Bill and the Perth Provi sional Order Confirmation Bill were read a third time and passed. On the report of amendments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, The Earl of LONGFORD moved the re-insertion of a clause which had been struck out by the select committee to whom the bill had been referred, on the ground that the PETITIONS. Mr. Gn.r.r.v presented petitions in favour of opening the British Museum and other national institutions on Sunday. Col. EDWARDS presented a petition from Yorkshire in favour of the bill to amend the law with respect to chemists and druggists.

BISHOP COLENSO. Mr. DUNLOP asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, looking to the, recent decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case of Bishop Colenso, by which, with reference to colonies with representative Legislature, or in which the Church of England had not been established by law, patents for the erection of episcopal sees therein, purposing to confer ecclesiastical jurisdiction, were pronounced to be contrary to law, it was the intention of the Government to advise her Majesty to abstain henceforth from issuing any more such pa t en t s fer z polonieS so situate, and also from nominating successors under the existing illegal patents to bishops who may die or resign, leaving the voluntary associations of which such bishops were the chief ministers to provide successors according to the rules and canons they have adopted or may adopt for the government of their own non-established communions ; and particularly whether this course would be recommended in reference to Canada, where by an act of the Canadian Legislature to which the Royal Assent was duly given, all connection between Church and State has been expressly abolished. Mr. CARDWELL said with respect to Canada the prac tice of issuing patents has been discontinued. The bishops there are selected by the Church in the colonies, and derive their civil rights from the colonies. With reference to the other matter referred to, the recent decision had led to the necessity of giving that matter the most serious considera tion. No letters patent, however, would be issued until that consideration has been brought to a close. • EPISCOPAL SEES IN THE COLONIES. , Mr. DUNLOP asked the Attorney-General to what extent and effect, if any, patents erecting episcopal sees in colonies having representative legislatures, or in which the Church of England had not been previously by law established, and purporting to confer ecclesiastical juris diction, were valid and operative ; and also to inquire under what statutory or other authority the Queen, as Sovereign of the United Kingdom, issued patents for the erection of episcopal sees, in accordance with the religious system established by law in only one part of the United Kingdom, England, in colonies which never were, at any time, colonies of England, but have been, from their origin, British colonies. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was more diffi cult to say what these letters patent provided than what they did not. It had been determined by the Judicial Com mittee that there wore no legal dioceses in the colonies to which the late inquiry related, and that the letter patent constituted no legal connection between the Church in these colonies and the united Church of England and Ireland. It was further determined that the letters patent granted to the bishop did not introduce into these colonies any part of the ecclesiastical polity of Eng land, and that they gave no legal power to the bishops which they might not have under the voluntary system. He found also in the judgment that letters patent were not valid to create ecclesiastical corporations which the colonies were bound to recognise. UNION CHARGEABILITY BILL. Mr. VILLIERS, in moving the second reading of this bill, said the union principle having been adopted for the purpose of administration instead of the parochial system, it was desirable that the same principle should be adopted with regard to settlement and rating instead of retaining those latter within the area of the parochial system. This was the principle which the bill sought to bring into operation, and it was founded on the results of several inquiries by committees of the House of Commons and Royal Commissioners. It had been contended, in some quarters, that the bill was in troduced to benefit the town population at the expense of the rural districts, but this was altogether a mistake, as such certainly was not the intention of the measure. The late member for North Devon, he believed, was in favour of the bill. Sir B. KNIGHTLEY trusted that the question would not be viewed in a party spirit. He objected to the bill because it affected the value of every acre of land in the country, and was of far too important a description to be discussed by a moribund Parliament. He was therefore in favour of postponing legislation, in order that the question might be submitted to their constituents at the next gene ral election. He also objected to the bill, not only because it would interfere with property, but likewise because it would injure the interests of the labouring classes, who, in the dull seasons, would be driven to the union workhouse instead of being assisted, as they now were, in their own cottages. The President of the Poor-law Board was not, in his opinion, competent to legislate on a question of this nature, as he never saw a green field except from the win dow of a railway carriage, and knew no more about the rural districts of England than of the interior of Africa. In conclusion, the hon. baronet, moved as an amendment, " That, considering . the little knowledge this house pos sesses as to the practical working of the Irremovable Poor Act of 1861, it is inexpedient, without further information, to legislate on the subject of union rating during the pre sent session." The amendment was seconded by Mr. BANKS-STANHOPE, who contended that the bill would be an unjustifiable inter ference with property, and inflict irreparable injury upon the poor of the rural districts. Sir E. DERING also opposed the bill, on the ground that it would relieve the ratepayers of the towns at the expense of those in the country parishes. He suggested, as a compromise, that the second reading should be postponed until after the Easter recess, so that in the interim hon. members might consult their constituents. Mr. G. P. BENTINCK thought the house was not yet in possession of sufficient information to legislate upon the subject, and would consequently give his vote in favour of the amendment. Mr. HODGICINSON, in answering, the arguments of hon. gentlemen opposite, denied that the present bill was a step in the direction of national rating. It was, he said, nothing more nor less than an act of justice, and was intended to adjust a burden which, in the lapse of time, had become disarranged. Sir W. JOLLIFFE gave a warm support to the bill, be cause he was persuaded that it would prove a useful and beneficial measure. The parochial system offered, ho thought, a premium to the bad and dissolute labourer, while it discouraged the good. Lord HENLEY pointed out several instances of gross injustice in his own union, and stated that, under the pre sent system, two close parishes paid a poor rate of Gd. in the pound, while others paid as much as 6s. Mr. SCOURFIELD advocated delay, and Mr. J. TOLLE MACHE was of opinion that the bill would relieve heavily burdened townships at the expense of others. Mr. SCILLY and Mr. PUGH spoke in favour of the measure, the late hon. gentleman expressing his willing ness to sanction a much larger area of chargeability than that contemplated by the bill. Mr. FLOYER took an opposite view to that of the pre ceding speakers, arguing that union rating would lead to a careless expenditure of the rates, as there would be no longer that careful personal supervision on the part of local guardians, without which the poor law could not be worked effectively or charitably. of M ula r io T n H ra O ti M ng P , S b O u N t, in w a as q smu u c it h e as prep th a e red bil t i o wvoouitedincafauvsoeuar //.2 PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. The Davenport Brothers, At the Liverpool county court, yesterday, Mr. Sergeant Wheeler, the judge, was occupied in try ing an action brought by Mr. R. B. Cummins, the hero of the now famous " tom-fool knot," against Mr. Hime, who acted as the local agent for the Brothers Davenport. Mr. Cummins claimed ss. from Mr. Hime for money paid to witness a séance announced by the Davenports, but which seance did not take place. Mr. Bardswell, solicitor for the plaintiff, delivered a long address, and read de scriptions of the several performances given in Liver pool, including that at which the cabinet was smashed, and when the Davenports refused to go on with their performances. The point on which he relied was that the Davonports had published ad vertisements promising that every person who paid for a ticket and attended would witness a séance. Mr. Pope, barrister, for the defence, contended that there was no statement in the advertisements as to what in particular would be done by the Daven ports ; that on the morning previous to the evening in question, in consequence of the interruption which had taken place on a former evening, they advertised that they should reserve the right to reject any committee which might be appointed to tie them ; that when Messrs. Hulley and Cummins were appointed they did object; that afterwards they yielded, and agreed to be tied by them ; and that in consequence of what then took place they were unable to proceed as they had intended. Mr. Cummins, who was severely cross-examined, stated that he took no part in the row, and used every exertion to prevent vio lence.. His Honour held that., though nothing defi nite was stated in the advertisements, it was under stood that séance was to include the usual " mani festations ;" that when the Davenports had agreed to be tied by Messrs. Hulley and Ciimmins, although they had a perfect right to reject any committee that might be appointed, they pledged themselves to fulfil their contract, and that, as they did not go on, the contract was broken. He gave his decision for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. It is under stood that, by friendly agreement between the par ties, this decision is to guide Mr. Hime in reference to all the claims made by other persons seeking a return of their money, amounting, we believe, to upwards of 100. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - --4 , -- TATTERSALLS-MONDAY. To-day there was another repetition of those " sensa- tion " movements in connection with Breadalbane for the Two Thousand Guineas. At the Victoria Club, in the morning, there was a marked disposition to lay against him at the commencement of business, when 2,200 to 110 was booked ; the next blow struck, however, was less deadly, 1,000 to 60 being laid twice. At Hyde-park-corner the same mystery prevailed, but despite the uncertainty as to the in tentions of his owner, he was again supported freely at prices varying from 12 to 8 to 1, taken to about £1,500. All sorts of rumours were afloat as to the final policy of Mr. Chaplin with regard to his horse, but whoever he or they were that " knew anything," they kept their counsel well while the industrious ones caaried on their s operations. Previous, as well as intending backers were in a dilemma, but seeing so many " good " men supporting the horse for money, they considered that they could not be far wrong in following suit, and thus they " plunged " on him a second time, 8 to 1 and 7 to 1 having been taken kindly. The finish, however, was a staggerer. A member who, in his speculative transactions, is distinguished by his cool disregard for the strict rules of betting, offered to take 100 to 15 about the Malton horse, odds with which he was ac commodated three times. Later on seven " fifties" were laid on the quiet, but we may safely say that that price to money would have been eagerly accepted. 100 to 30 was offered against Liddington, but 4 to 1 was asked forin vain. Chattanooga was somewhat unsteady, after nine " fifties " were laid, 10 to 1 was his current price, taken to about £5O. ;For the Derby Breadalbane still holds his position undisputed. 550 to 100 was taken in one bet, and until the close of the room sto 1 was the highest offer on the field, while 7 to 1 went begging about Liddington, but not until ho had been backed to about £4OO at that price. It must not be forgotten, however, that a gentleman who is reputed to be generally in the secrets of the Russley stable laid eight " ponies " twice, just immediately after the horse had boon supported at a point less. The Duke was in great demand at 8 and 9 to 1, at which prices he was entrusted with very good money ; but he failed to sustain his reputation, as nothing short of 10 to 1 would satisfy the adherents of the Marquis of Hastings' colours. The only other feature of the Derby betting was the hostility against Chattanooga, who, after 25 to 1 had been accepted about him to £3OO, de clined to 30 to 1 (taken to £100) offered until the room was cleared. _ .

Certain representatives of our two great Universities make their appearance in a locality not a hundred miles from the metropolis during the present week. They are not members of parliament, neither are they heads of houses, therefore we may treat them pleasantly rather than gravely, and_ dismiss from our minds the solemnities of cap and gown, and the boredom of blue books, and " I hold in my hand a paper, sir." The gentlemen, we expect, are young —indeed, in the first blush of manhood ; but they are big men, and they are strong, and in their present state of bulk they weigh exactly 203 stones 111bs. This is an American method, perhaps, of introducing eighteen gentlemen to the public; for the Yankees, when they have told you the income of their celebrated man and accounted for his accre tion of wealth, described the colour of his every-day coat, and added, by way of zest, the peculiar scandal connected with his name, finish by giving you his weight and what he measures round the waist. It is not, however, in this kind of spirit that we mention the weight of these repre sentatives of Oxford and Cambridge. Weight is an im portant element in the cause they are sent here to uphold, because with them weight mostly represents strength, and strength success. Our readers will see from this that the eighteen gentlemen in question come to the spot we have obscurely hinted at to compete for something. And yet the something they are about to contend for is nothing but honour. Hotspur, we know, thought it an " easy leap," " To pluck bright honour from the pale-faced moon Or dive into the bosom of the deep, And pluck ur. drowned honour by locks." And although these strong men of the colleges may look upon the pursuit of honour a trifle more seriously than Hotspur did, they come to us in Henry Percy's spirit, and with all his self-sacrificing gallantry. But to make the matter clear, we must divide the eighteen gentlemen by two ; range each division under its proper colours, and so arrive at the fact that nine Oxford men have come to Putney to meet there nine Cambridge men, for a friendly contest of skill, strength, and endurance. As we have alluded to the gross weight of the competitors, we may mention that in this respect, when the two bodies of men are separated they come to us upon remarkably fair terms. Put all the Cambridge men into one scale, and the Oxford men into another, and there shall be no kicking of the beam. Tho difference will be only just one pound ; and although the imposition of a single pound on a horse's back has some times decided the result of a race, the extra pound carried by the gentlemen from the Cam can scarcely be looked upon as likely to influence the result of the contest for which they are making preparation. A very able critic of a former University boat-race said that "good big men were better than good little men." He meant physically, of course. But upon this occasion there will be no room for drawing the distinction, the representatives of the two seats of learning being so well matched in point of bulk. Shylock himself would have thought little of this extra "pound of flesh," and we only refer to it to show how nearly alike in the matter of weight tho competitors really are. And what is the object of this notable competition ? Simply, then, the winning of a boat race, but a boat race upon which the eyes of aristocratic and middle-class Eng land are fixed with an interest second to none taken in popular sports and pastimes. For 35 years has this interest endured. In 1829 the students of Oxford and Cambridge first contended as oarsmen at Henley-on-Thames. Oxford won " easily" we are told. In 1836 the contest was resum ed, and in a race from Westminster to Putney Cambridge left the Oxonians behind, and had a minute to spare. 111-luck attended the men of the Isis in the three succeeding struggles; but in 1842 they "pulled the thing off," with 13 seconds to spare. Then Cambridge again for three years resumed the mastery ; then Oxford for three ; then the victory alternated between the crews, till, in 1861, Oxford inaugurated a long series of successes, scoring, with last year's race, four triumphs in regular sequence against the unfortunate wearers of the light blue ribbon. To show what kind of work these men do, we may mention that ono rough day—the 15th of April, 1859, the tumbling water surged into the Cambridge boat, and at Barnes Railway bridge swamped it with all hands. Happily there were no lives lost; but a more curious shipwreck cannot well be imagined. The Cambridge craft was light—too light, and long before she reached the scene of her sudden subsidence her men were pulling hard ankle-deep in water. They - made no attempt to leave the wreck : it left them. As to turning ashore to avoid the catastrophe they scorned the action, and the eight-oar went as calmly down at Barnes Bridge as did the Royal George when she heeled over at Spithead and took in at her open ports the weight that carried her to the grave. What was this but trying to pluck up drowned honour by the locks ? We cannot well call that year's contest a positive defeat for Cam bridge. Strictly speaking, however, Oxford must be credited with the honours of that incomplete struggle, and therefore we find the more ancient University coming to Putney this year with the prestige resulting from the odd victory- Cambridge has carried off the palm ten times, Oxford eleven, and we shall shortly see whether the men of the Cam are able to make things even or not. In a contest like this there is always that perfect honesty and good faith which are the life and soul of lofty emulation. We may depend upon our athletaa when they don the dark, blue of Oxford or the light azure of the sister University. Each seat of learning has its natural esprit de corps—its earnest desire to see its men victorious; but beyond this wholesome feeling there is none of the vulgar partisanship common to some less admirable trials of vigour. As we have said, as far as the immediate contest is concerned, there is nothing won, nothing lost, but honour, There IN not even the " tin pot" which rewards the aspirants to aquatic fame in some other competitions. Pure emula tion, unadulterated love of excellence, move these Uni versity men to • put themselves through a course of hard training, to be as obedient as children to the word of com mand, and to practise a self-denying ordinance, that to some minds would seem sackcloth and ashes, a hair shirt, and unboiled peas in the shoes of pilgrimage. Many of our reade rs ma y not know what this " trainin g " —this system pride o off preparation is. They see these men their youthful vigour, instinct with einaset,hegrace, and, withal, decent modesty. They cannot choose but admire this perfection of early manhood. How is it acquired? Without going into the minutiaa of the sub ject, without making a catalogue of what these selected oarsmen eat, drink, and avoid, we may say that the system they adhere to in their training is one of practical virtue: The old sin that emasculated the Romans—the sin of luxury —they are strangers to. They work hard, and they in dulge their appetites in moderation. They represent Bent ingism "with a difference." Early to bed and early to rise are essentials of their discipline. Indeed, they do all that which men of their class are too often apt to neglect or to undo. And the result we shall see on the Bth of April neact Oxford has come to Putney ear ly this year ; and Cambridge will follow after a few days' interval. Whether the one University or the .other carries off the honours of the contest is a matter of no such moment as the fact that these eighteen gentlemen are engaged in upholding the strength, skill, and stamina of the gentler society to which they belong. In this respect they call for our best recog nition ; while, at the same time, the struggle they are pre paring for is one of the most wholesome of the many that afford delight to all well-conditioned Englishmen. To-day, we believe, the gentlemen of the dark blue rib bon take their first paddle over the course ; and, no doubt, many will be "there to see." The excitement arising last year from the fact that the honours of the odd victory were in question, will this year be almost equalled by the pretty general expectation that a great, a close race, is in prospect. We hope this feeling will not be disappointed. It will be more satisfactory to both crews should an almost neck-and-neck struggle end in a well-won victory.— Herald.
