NIAB,KET ItIONEY AN COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The condition of the discount market is exceed ingly quiet, and very little business is in progress. Capital is very limited, and brokers still evince no great inclination to enter into new transactions. The public are also curtailing their business, and inactivity is therefore the characteristic of the Money Market. The lowest rate out of doors is e qual to the official.minimum. About 10,000 sovereigns from Smyrna, and £3,000 bar gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. There was a further upward movement in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the French 3 per Cent Rentes were 67f. 80c. Th e English Stock mark e t h as b een very dull and depressed, and a further decline has taken P l ace. The fear that money will become dearer, and the greater attention given to American de scriptions came investors to neg l ec t ho m e securi tninee.

AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Monday Morning. The Cunard Royal Mail steamer the Europa, from Boston the 26th and Halifax the 28th ult., has arrived. The funeral of Mr. Lincoln had passed through New York. " His remains,',' the Boston Journal says— " Were escorted to the Hudson River Railroad depot by a funeral procession never equalled in this country, and, perhaps, in the world. Leading the line were two divisions of the State Militia, includ ing infantry, cavalry, and artillery, besides a bat talion of marines. Immediately following was the 7th Regiment State Militia, which has done guard duty since the arrival of the funeral cortge in this city. The regiment looked magnificently, some two thirds of it doing the immediate escort duty, while the balance was formed in a hollow square around the hearse. Inside this square was still another guard of honour of military and naval officers. Next followed carriages three abreast, and stretching a long distance, containing the city government, dele gations from Washington and other places, and in cluding many military and naval officers, and the representatives of diffierent nations resident here, Governor Fenton, ex-Governors of the State, mem bers and ex-members of the Legislature, and others. Next were the enzploye's in the Custom-house, Sub- Treasury, and Post-office, in themselves a large body of men, and following them the officers and ex-officers of the Army and Volunteer services. The navy contributed several hundreds of its officers to the procession. The various clubs were next repre sented, the Loyal Leagues appearing in great num bers, and theTammanySociety, and the Democratic General Committee making an effective display. The citizens of the Pacific coast were largely repre sented, a striking feature being Seth Kinman, who presented an elkhorn chair to the late President, and who was dressed in a curious looking buffalo suit. The Sons of Temperance also turned out very effec tively; but the most remarkable feature of the fune ral procession was the immense number of masons, who were next in line, each man wearing in his coat a sprig of evergreen. Perhaps 10,000 of the order were in the procession. The Irish societies followed in nearly as great numbers as on St. Patrick's-day. Many of their associations were fully represented. The procession closed with large delegations from all kinds of societies from Brooklyn, and finally several thousand respectably-dressed and well-appearing negroes. It was three hours passing a given point, and before the end of it reached the depot the corpse of our martyred President was many miles away frum the city. Take the procession altogether, it was one of the largest, if not the greatest, ever seen in New York, and the utmost good feeling was manifested. Everywhere the passing of the coffin was the signal for all to uncover their heads. All over the floor of the hearse on which the coffin rested were strewn the most beau tiful flowers. The hearse itself was the theme of praise from all as most appropriate for the occasion. All along the route an immense concourse of people lined the streets, filled the windows, balconies, stoops and housetops, all of whom seemed of one accord in respect to the memory of the departed. At the depot the hearse was drawn through the lines of the military with all due ceremony. Everything in fact went off well. No accident occurred during the day. Minute guns were fired all day, and the bells tolled during the time of the removal of the remains to the depot. After the procession passed an im mense meeting was held in Union-square, at which a funeral oration was delivered by Hon. George Bancroft." Official bulletins report favourably of the condi tion of the Sewards, father and son. A Tredeville correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer gives full particulars of the arrest of Atzeroth, a supposed accomplice of Booth, at Ger mantown, Maryland : " The accused was found at the home of one Reichter, who first denied the presence of Atzeroth in his house, and afterwards with his wife told con flicting stories about him. The sergeant also insti tuted some examination in the neighbourhood. He found by questioning different parties whom Atzeroth had visited that the accused had come from Washington a day or two before, and at the house of one of the gentlemen while eating dinner had upon the assassination of the President being broached abruptly stopped eating, and made use of the fol lowing language :—' If all of them had done their duty Grant would have been fixed the same way.' After making diligent search for additional evidence in the neighbourhood, the sergeant hooked up Reichter's buggy, and, bringing both Reichter and Atzeroth with him, returned to camp and reported to Captain Townsend. After hearing what the ser geant had to say the captain directed that the pri soners should be taken to the head-quarters of Major Arteman for examination. They were exa mined separately. Reichter was brought in first, and at the request of Major Arteman Lieutenant W. M. Runkle, of the 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, proceeded to examine him and take his language down on paper. His answers were vague and un satisfactory, and it was evident that he and Atzeroth had made up their minds to adhere to the same story. In answer to the question by Lieutenant Runkle as to whether his cousin, Atzeroth, had been in Washington, he answered that he didn't know ; he believed not ; he might have come through there, but he came from the lower part of Maryland. And notwithstanding he was subjected to a very severe examination he would not tell anything in regard to the whereabouts of Atzeroth up to the time of his arrival at his house, although it was quite evident that he did know. After a few more questions had been put to him in regard to the time that Atzeroth arrived at his house, he was sent out and Atzeroth brought in and examined. His statement was also very vague and conflicting in almost every par ticular, and in the course of the examination con tradicted himself pointedly in a number of instances ; but, notwithstanding, a great mass of important in formation was gained from him, which was taken down by Lieutenant Runkle, for the information of the proper authorities. Atzeroth has been on quite intimate terms with a portion of the Surratt family, and alleges that his business from his home, at Port Tobacco, in Charles County, was with one of that family in reference to a coal oil speculation that they were about entering into. He says that he knew Booth quite well, but had not seen him for some time. He alleges that he left his home two weeks since, and had been about Washington most of the time since endeavouring to sell a horse to the Government. In this particular his statement verged upon the ludicrous. First, he had one horse which he brought from Port Tobacco with him ; then he had two horses, one of which belonged to Surratt ; then again they were both his, and so on, mixing his account up in such a manner that it was almost impossible to make head or tail of it. He had heard of the assassination of President Lincoln while standing in Pennsylvania-avenue, but paid no attention to it, although there was great excitement on the street at the time. He stopped in Washing ing all that night, and the next morning (Saturday) went to Georgetown, returned to Washington, went to Georgetown again, and took the stage for Rock ville ; from thence he went to see some of his friends, and then went to the residence of his oousin. Reich ter's house is situated a short distance from what is called the village of Germantown, some 12 mil es from Washington, consisting of one or two houses, and is a very secluded and unfrequented spot, sur rounded on all sides by immense groves of pine s , and in the midst of a neighbourhood which has ever been known to be the hiding-place for guerillas and others who wished to commit depredations upon the surrounding country. The inhabitants of the coun try are, as a class, generally known to be disloyal, and since the arrest of Atzeroth have been very reticent, almost refusing to answer any ques ti ons that may be put to them in reference to the m a tt er of his conduct with them. Atzeroth is a Germa n b y birth, but having come to this country when quite a child, he speaks English with as much fluency as a native. He is about sft. 7 or Bin. high, with a well_ knit and compact frame, and about 29 years of age. His complexion is dark and swarthy, with black crisp hair and moustache ; eyes dark grey, deep set and piercing. His forehead is low, and the general con tour of - his features stamp him as a man of low clia ratter, who would stoop to any action, no matter how vile, for money. During the examination by Lieutenant Runkle he manifested considerable of a ' devil-may-care' sort of spirit, and seemed to look upon himself as competent to deal with all or dinary circumstances. In a conversation with the guard he asked if he would be allowed a trial, but as the guard could give him no satisfactory answer his face assumed a troubled expression, and he seldom spoke except when spoken to. Atzeroth is evidently the paid assassin, hired to do the deed by those who had money but had not the courage do it themselves. In what relation he stands to Booth or any of the others—for I believe it a regularly or ganised and planned conspiracy—will no doubt be made public at the proper time. It is reported that he said to one of his friends some weeks since that he was poor now, but in a few weeks he should have plenty of gold.' I cannot vouch for the truth of the remark, but I have no reason to disbelieve it." The papers do not contain any account of the arrest of Booth. • The Cincinnati Commercial publishes the follow ing letter from a Confederate officer : " To THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCIAL. " I desire, through your columns, to express my profound abhorrence of the deeds resulting in the death of President Lincoln. [wish also to mention that in passing through the prisons where are still confined several thousands of my comrades I heard of no one so fallen from the level of our common humanity as to be in any sense gratified at this atrocious murder. The sentiment on every side was that of indignation at so cowardly an attempt, and of regret at its successful completion. In the name of right let the obloquy and the punishment fall in united horror upon the guilty, but not upon men who have had neither part nor lot in the matter-- who in other affairs may have erred in judgment, but certainly not in heart, since countless sacrifices attest their sincerity, and whose strength in case of ulti- mate Federal success can be merged once more in the common resources far more readily by the Divine policy of brotherly kindness than by any exercise of bitter and vindictive feeling. Over the ark of a wise Government two seraphs bend. One of these is clear-eyed Justice, but the other is warm hearted Mercy.—l am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, -‘ " W. S. HAWKINS, Colonel, C.S.A. Office of Agent for C. S. Prisoners, Camp Chase, Ghio, April 18." General Hancock has issued the following appeal ;o the coloured people : To THE COLOURED PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND OF MARYLAND, OF ALEXAN DRIA, AND THE BORDER COUNTIES OF VIR GINIA. " Your President has been murdered ! He has fallen by the assassin, and without a moment's warn ing, simply and solely becauso he was your friend and the friend of our country. Had he been un faithful to you and to the great cause of human freedom he might have lived. The pistol from which he met his death, though held by Booth, was fired by the hands of treason and slavery. Think of this, and remember how long and how anxiously this good man laboured to break your chains and to make you happy. I now appeal to you, by every consideration which can move loyal and grateful hearts, to aid in discovering and arresting his mur derer. Concealed by traitors, he is believed to be lurking somewhere within the limits of the district of Columbia, or the State of Maryland, or Virginia. Go forth, then, and watch, and listen, and inquire, and search, and pray, by day and night, until you shall have succeeded in dragging this monstrous and bloody criminal from his hiding-place. You can do much ; even the humblest and feeblest among you, by patience and unwearied vigilance, may render the most important assistance. Large rewards have been offered by the Government and by municipal authorities, and they will be paid, for the appre hension of this murderer, or for any information that will aid in his arrest. But I feel that you need no such stimulus as this. You will hunt down this cowardly assassin of your best friend, as you would the murderer of your own father. Do this, and God, whose servant has been slain, and the country which has given you freedom, will bless you for this act of duty. All information which will lead to the arrest of Booth, or Suratt, or Harrold should be communicated to these headquarters, or to General Holt, Judge-Advocate-General, at Washington, or, if immediate action is required, then to the nearest military authorities. All officers and soldiers in this command, and all loyal people, are enjoined•to increased vigilance. " W. S. HANCOCK, Major-General United States' Volunteers, Commanding Middle Military Division." The following has been officially published : War Department, Washington, Saturday, April 22. " a bearer of despatches arrived Yesterday eveni ng from General Sh erman. An agreemen t f or a sus pension of hostilities and a memorandum of what is called a basis for peace had been entered into on the 18th inst., by General Sherman with the rebel General Johnston. The rebel General Breckinridge was present at the conference. A Cabinet meeting was held at 8 o'clock in the evening, at which the action of General Sherman was disapproved by the President, by the Secretary of War, by General Grant, and by every member of the Cabinet. Gen. Sherman was ordered to resume hostilities imme diately, and was directed that the instructions given by the late President in the following telegram, which was penned by Mr. Lincoln himself, at the Capitol on the night of the 3d of March, were ap proved by President Andrew Johnson, and were reiterated to govern the action of military com manders. On the night of the 3d of March, while anad requested arrangementlt President Li nco l n and his Cabinet were at the Capitol, a tel egram from General Grant was brought to the Secret ary of War, informing him that General Lee h Ili for interview, ofew conference,poeraee. Theto make letter of General Lee was published in a letter of Davis to the rebel Congress. General Grant's telegram was submitted to Mr. Lincoln, who, after pondering a few minutes,took with his own hand the following reply, which he submitted to the Secretary of State and Secretary of War. It was then dated, dd a ressed, and signed by the Secretary of War, and telegraphed to Gene ral Grant : Station, and in the State of North Carolina, by and between General Joseph E. Johnston, com manding the Confederate Army, and Major-Gene ral William T. Sherman, commanding the Army of United States in North Carolina, both present. " ' 1. The contending armies now in the field to maintain their status quo until notice is given by the commanding General of either one to its opponent, and reasonable time—say 48 hours—allowed. " 2. The Confederate armies now in existence to be disbanded and conducted to their several State capitals, there to deposit their arms and public pro perty in the State arsenals, and each officer and man to execute and file an agreement to cease from acts of war, and abide action of both State and Federal authority. The number of arms and munitions of war to be reported to the chief of ord nance at Washington city, subject to future action of the Congress of the United States, in the mean time to be used solely to maintain peace and order within the borders of the States respectively. " 3. The recognition by the Executive of the United States of the several State Governments in their officers and Legislatures, taking oath pre scribed by the Constitution of the United States, and where conflicting State Governments have re sulted from the war, the legitimacy of all shall be submitted to the Supreme Court of the United States. " 4. The re-establishment of all Federal courts in the several States, with powers as defined by the Constitution and laws of Congress. " ' 5 The people and inhabitants of all States to be guaranteed, so far as the Executive can, their political rights and franchise, as well as their rights of person and property, as defined by the Constitu tion of the United States and of States respectively. " 6. The Executive authority of the Government of the United States not to disturb any of the people by reason of the late war so long as they live in peace and quiet and abstain from acts of armed hostility, and obey laws in existence at any place of their residence. "In general terms, war to cease ; a .general amnesty, so far as the Executive power of the United States can command, on condition of disbandment of the Confederate armies, and the deposition of arms and the resumption of peaceful pursuits by officers and men hitherto composing the said armies. Not being fully empowered by our respective prin cipals to fulfil these terms, we individually and officially pledge ourselves to promptly obtain neces sary authority, and to carry out the above pro gramme, " ' W. T. SHERMAN, Major-General Com manding the Army of the United States in North Carolina.' " J. E. Johnston, General Commanding Con federate States' Army in North Carolina.' " This proceeding of General Sherman was un approved for the following, among other reasons :- 1. It "was an exercise of authority not vested in General Sherman, and on its face shows that both he and Johnston knew that he (Gen. Sherman) had no authority to enter into any such arrangement. 2. It was a practical acknowledgment of the rebel Government. 3. It undertook to re-establish the rebel State Government, that had been overthrown at the sacrifice of many thousand loyal lives and an immense treasure, and placed arms and muni tions of war in the hands of the rebels at their re spective capitals, which might be used as soon as the armies of the United States were disbanded, and used to conquer and subdue the loyal States. 4. By the restoration of the rebel authority in their respec tive States they would be enabled to re-establish slavery. 5. It might furnish a ground of responsi bility by the Federal Government to pay the rebel debt, and certainly subjects loyal citizens of the rebel States to the debt consummated by the rebels in the name of the State. 6. It puts in dispute the existence of loyal State Governments and the new State of Western Virginia, which had been recognised by every department of the United States' Government. 7. It practically abolishes the confiscation laws, and relieves rebels of every degree, who had slaughtered our people, from all pains and penalties for their crimes. 8. It gave terms that had been deliberately, repeatedly, and solemnly rejected by President Lin coln, and better terms than the rebels had ever asked in their most prosperous condition. 9. It formed no bates of true and lasting peace, but re lieved rebels from the pressure of our victories and left them in condition to renew their effort to over thrown the United States' Government and subdue the loyal States, whenever their strength was re cruited and any opportunity should offer." The following order had been promulgated by General Sherman : " Headquarters, Military Division of the Mississippi, in the Field, Raleigh, North Carolina, April 19. " Special Field Order—No. 58. " The General commanding announces to the army a suspension of hostilities, and an agreement with Gen. Johnston and high officials, which, when formally ratified, will make peace from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. Until the absolute peace is arranged, a line passing through Tyrrell's Mount Chapel-hill University, Durham's -station, and West Point, on the Neuse River, will separate the two armies. Each army commander will group his camps entirely with a view to comfort, health, and good police. All the details of military discip line must still be maintained, and the General hopes and believes that in a very few days it will be his good fortune to conduct you all to your homes. " The fame of this army for courage, industry, and discipline is admitted all over the world. Then let each officer and man see that it is not stained by any act of vulgarity, rowdyism, and petty crime. The cavalry will patrol the front of the line. Gen. Howard will take charge of the district from Raleigh up to the cavalry ; Gen. Slocum to the left of Raleigh, its right and rear ; Quartermasters and Commissaries will keep their supplies up to a light load, for the waggons and the railroad superinten dent will arrange a depot for the experience of each separate army. _ - "By order of " Major-General W. T. SHERMAN. " L. W. Dayton, A.A.G." The following announces the termination of the truce : " War Department, Washington, 10 25 p.m., April 25. " A despatch is just received by this department from Gen. Grant, dated Raleigh, 9 a.m., April 24. He says I reached here this morning, and de livered to Gen. Sherman the reply to his negotia tions with Johnston. Word was immediately sent to Johnston terminating the truce, and information that civil matters could not be entertained in any convention between any commanders.' " EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. 66 I. lajor- General Dix." I:Washington despatch of the 24th says Advices received here to-day directfrom Raleigh state that the conference between Sherman and John ston took place at Chapel-hill, some 15 miles west of Raleigh. Johnston's army, composed of about 30,000 men, including Hampton and Wheeler's cavalry, lay 30 miles from the city on the road running to Char lotte. On the second interview Breckenridge, the rebel Secretary of War, was present, and partici pated in drawing up the already published memo randa of terms of capitulation. During the conver sation he freely admitted the failure of the rebellion, and declared that peace was almost at hand ; and in alluding to the constitutional amendment, he said that it was strictly the legal way of abolishing slavery, and he predicted its ratification by more than two-thirds of the States. It was understood that during this conference, which lasted two days, Jeff. Davis was at Hillsborough, and in telegraphic communication with Breckenridge, at Johnston's headquarters. The men of the rebel army, with the exception of now and then some officer, were anxious for peace, and desired to go home. Throughout North Carolina there have been most earnest exhibitions of loyalty." _ A Washington correspondent of the New York Daily News gives the following report of the pro ceedings at the Cabinet meeting by which General Sherman's truce was repudiated : ‘; The highly important intelligence from General Sherman was known by me shortly after it reached the Government, but its transmission over the wires being forbidden, I made no attempt to send it. Be lieving that the authorities desired that it should not be divulged, I made no allusion to it in my letter of yesterday. Immediately on the receipt of the de spatches, which were brought here by a special courier, a Cabinet meeting was called by the Presi dent, and the whole matter laid before the officers of the Government. General Grant, who had made arrangements for a brief visit to his home in New Jersey, was apprised of the meeting, and requested to attend. On being informed of the agreement entered into by General Sherman, he at once pro nounced it unauthorized, and in no way binding on the Government. Referring to his own action at the time of Lee's surrender, he said that he then re garded the terms granted to Lee as too generous, but as they were dictated by President Lincoln he had no option but to present them. He thought he could have forced General Lee to accept terms that would have been more satisfactory to those who did not approve the late President's leniency ; but keeping in view the great importance of not humi liating the officers and soldiers of Lee's army, and regarding obedience as duty, he offered the terms advised by President Lincoln, and as those terms were satisfactory to the Government and to a 'majority, of the people, he did not regret their ac ceptance. But he was exceedingly annoyed at what he regarded as the imprudent and totally unautho rised generosity of Sherman, and declared that the arrangement to which he had given his consent must be promptly repudiated by the Government. Had Sherman demanded the capitulation:of John ston's army, and paroled all the officers and men on the same conditions accepted by the army of Northern Virginia, keeping entirely out of the view the political status of the States in rebellion, and the conditions on which the people could resume their political rights, under the Constitution, Gene ral Grant would cordially assent to such an agree ment, leaving all the political aspects of the case to the decision of the civil authorities and the arbitra- meat of the Courts. Sherman had taken a - wholly unauthorised liberty in exceeding his province as a military commander, and his action must be dis avowed by the Government. President Johnson and every member of the Cabinet promptly indorsed General Grant's views, and expressed themselves very strongly in disapproval of the action taken by Sherman. The president and Secretary of War • were particularly incensed against Sherman, and declared that he must be at once' recalled and the army of Johnston pushed with all vigour until it must surrender. General Grant was requested to proceed immediately to North Carolina, take com mand of Sherman's army, and follow Johnston wherever he might go. Grant left Washington yesterday afternoon for Newbern, and will thence proceed to Raleigh, where, superseding Sherman, he will move rapidly after Johnston, and, should the latter retreat, follow and fight him to the last." President Johnson, on the 24th, received a dele gation of loyal men from States which had joined the Confederates, and, in reply to their address, re- . marked that— "He and they had gone through similar suffer ings, but that, great as those sufferings were, they should not forge any but temperate, just action. But he knew that justice must temper mercy. He had learned that when executive of a State, and he had also learned that it was time for people to un derstand that treason was not a mere difference in politics, in which one party triumphed over and the other simply failed. It is the highest of crimes, though since the days of Burr and Jefferson our people seemed oblivious of the fact. He had been accused of being too lenient when holding execu- tive power heretofore, and had learned that cle mency might be injustice. It had even been said by one skilled in treason that when traitors become numerous enough treason becomes respectable ; and to become a traitor was to constitute a portion of the aristocracy of the country. He would now say, God protect the country from such an aristocracy ! He repeated, therefore, justice to the conscious leaders, mercy and amnesty to the thousands whom they had deceived or driven into rebellion. They tried to murder a nation ; if they had succeeded the life of the nation would have been reft from it, the Union would have been destroyed. The Constitu- tion defines treason, and under that definition it required no great acumen to ascertain who had been or who were traitors. He believed they could all soon return to their homes, that law and order would be then restored, and the banner of the country again float over every inch of territory within the area, of the United States. And so, thanking them collectively and individually, the President concluded his reply with the assurance_to all that he intended to do his duty fully." Washington advices say that the President has no intention of dispensing with the services of Mr. Seward. The following is also stated : "In an interview with the President to-day Sena tor Harlan, after mentioning his nomination by Pre sident Lincoln and confirmation by the Senate to be Secretary of the Interior from the 15th day of May next, stated his desire to disembarrass Presi dent Johnson by placing the office at his disposal. The President remarked that he wished the arrange ment made by his predecessor to continue. '‘ PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S INSTRUCTIONS. Washington, March 3, 12 p.m. 44 4 Lieutenant-General Grant,—The President directs me to say to you that he wishes you to have no conference with General Lee unless it be for the capitulation of General Lee's army, or on some minor and purely military matter. He instructs me to say that you are not to decide, di scuss, or con f er upon any political question. Such questions the President holds in his own hands, and will submit them to no military conferences or conventions. Meantime you are to press to tip:, utmost your military advantages. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War." "The orders of General Sherman to General Stoneman to withdraw from Salisbury and join him will probably open the way for Davis to escape to Memico or Europe with his plunder, which is reported to be very large, including not only the plunder of the Richmond banks, but previous accumulations. " A despatch received by this Department from Richmond says : " ' It is stated here by respectable parties that the amount of specie taken south by Jefferson Davis and his partisans is very large, including not only the plunder of the Richmond banks, but previous accu mulations. They hope, it is said, to make terms with General Sherman or some other Northern com mander, by which they will be permitted, with their effects, including this gold plunder, to go to Mexico or Europe. — Johnston's negotiations look to this end.' " ' After the Cabinet meeting last night, General Grant started for North Carolina to direct opera: tions against Johnston's army. " 4 ‘ EDWIN 111. STANTON, Secretary of War.' " Washington, Saturday, April 22. " THE BASIS OP AGREEMENT. " The memorandum or basis of what was agreed upon between Generals Johnston and Sherman : the results are as follows : " Memorandum or basis of agreement made this 18th day of April, A.D. 1865, near Durham's ,ITIES. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to throw the payment of church-rates upon the landlord instead of the occu pier ; in fact to render the owner of property liable for the rate when the occupier had conscien tious objections to the payment of church-rates. He could not see that there could be any valid objection to the principle of his bill, except from some parties who de sired to make the constitution of this country in this par ticular respect like to that of the United States, where there was no form of Christianity recognised by the State. When they looked for a moment at the condition of affairs in that country, where the President had been murdered and the life of the Prime Minister attempted, ho did think there would be some hesitation before they adopted the proposals of those whose distinct object was to remove the character of the constitution of this country. Tho object he sought to effect by his bill was by no means new. He had last year endeavoured to obtain the sanction of Parliament to the principle of his bill, which was to substitute a charge of 2d. in the pound on real property in lieu of existing church rates. The bill was only to extend to property at present assessed to church rates within the last seven years, and not to places where church rates had been opposed and a poll taken for three successive years. The tax he proposed was to be levied as laid down in schedule A of the income tax, which he thought more equitable and convenient than the system at present pursued. He felt the best result would follow from the passing of the bill, as it would remove that bitterness which prevailed for so long a period. He only sought to enact that which the Poor Law Commissioners recom mended in 1843—viz., that the burden of church rates be treated as a charge upon property instead of on the per son. He hopedhis motion would not be rejected, especially as he only asked the house to assent to the principle of the bill by reading it a second time, in order that it might be re ferred to a select committee, who would make it the basis of inquiry. Sir C. DOUGLAS moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. The objection he urged last year against the bill he offered on the present occasion. The feeling of the house appeared to be, after the repeated discussions that had taken place, that the question of church rates should be submitted to the next general elec tion on the hustings, and for that purpose he took the course he did. Sir G. GREY advised the hon. member not to press the house to a division. He thought the same course should be adopted by the house as on a former occasion, that the matter should rest until after the general election. Mr. SCOLTFIELD supported, and Mr. KINGLAKE obj ec t e d to the bill. Mr. COLLINS hoped his hon. friend woul d adopt the course recommended to him, and withdraw the bill. H e would by that means receive the su pportofboth sides of the house. (Laughter.) If he pressed it to a divisi on h e hoped it would be rejected by a large majority. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).
