IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. Their lordships reassembled this evening after the Whit- Buntide recess. The Attorneys' and Solicitors' Remuneration Bill, after a conversation between the law lords, passed through coMmittee without amendment. The Wine and Beerhouses Act (1869) Amendment Bill, and the Gas and Water Facilities Bill, were read a second time. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE BILL. On the report of amendments to this bill being brought The LORD CHANCELLOR said since this bill was. last before their lordships he had made certain amendments to fleet the objections that had been raised to it by his noble and learned friend (Lord Cairns), because he should very Much regret a postponement of the bill for another year. The bill, if assented to by Parliament, would not come into operation until Michaelmas, 1871, and one of the great objections raised against it was the proposal that the rules for the guidance of the consolidated courts should be urawn up by the Privy Council, subject to the modification of the court itself. The mode he proposed now was not t ° give up the bill for the session, but to go on with it. If Passed, the court would be established, but with respect to the rules he was ready to say that the act should not come into operation until the rules for the new court had received the sanction of Parliament. Her Majesty, with the advice of the Lord Chancellor and others,' would at Mice proceed to frame the rules which would be very nu merous, but they would be of no avail until confirmed by a ct of Parliament. One other of the proposed amend ments to the bill would-be the appointment of a new Lord Justice of Appeal, subject to the provisions of the bill. Lord CAIRNS said he was quite satisfied with the course Proposed by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack. After a few words from Earl Grey and Lord Westbury, The report was received, and the amendments ordered to be printed. Th e Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, the object of which was to bring the Appellate Court into unison with the High Court of Justice, was recommitted, and ordered to be r eprinted with amendments. The following peers were appointed as the select corn- Mittee on tramways :—Lord Privy Seal, Duke of Cleve land, Marquis of Salisbury, Earls Kellie, Airlie, Graham, Cadogan, Morley, Viscount Eversley, the Lord Steward, ... a nd Lords Saltoun, Redesdale, Silchester, Belper, and I, Preden. The reports of amendments on the Norwich Voters D isfranchisement Bill and the Bridgwater and Beverley D isfranchisement Bill were received. The Mortgage Debenture Act (1865) Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord STRATHEDEN then brought forward a new standing order with respect to the mode of procedure in the House, When two or more peers rose to speak at one time, giving the Lord Chancellor power to name the one that Was to proceed. Earl GRANVILLE did not see the slightest necessity for C hange. The Duke of RICHMOND was also of the same ° Pinion. He was also quite sure that when a noble peer h ad any information to give their lordships he would alway s receive the respectful attention of the House. Tne motion was withdrawn, and their lordships a djourned at 25 minutes to eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes to four o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The Dare Valley Railway Bill, the Gervan and Port- Patrick Junction Railway Bill, and the Llanbussant and rt , T aff Vale Junction Railway Bill, and the Pembroke and ' e rthY Railway (No. 2) Bill were read a third time. ARMY CONTROL DEPARTMENT. Co lonerS;;;;;;V:d - fo; a return in detail of the say ings effected by the Control Department since its establishment in the War Office, detailing also the cost of the Control Department since its organization. The return was agreed to. THE SLAVE TRADE. A ir- Alderman LIISK moved for a return of vessels eaPtured for being engaged in and equipped for the have trade, skewing the date of the capture and where, W hether condemned or restored ; the number of slaves c aptured and the number emancipated ; the name of the ca P t uring ship and its commanding officer ; the number t of the crew and the amount of bounty awarded, dis inguishing slave and tonnage bounties in each case, from Dec first day o f J anuar y, 1864, to the thirty-first day of tüber, The return was unopposed. TRADES' UNIONS. Air. MELLY gave notice of his intention to ask whether i t was intended to introduce the Trades' Unions' Bill d uring the present session ; or whether it was intended to renew the Act expiring on the 31st of August next. LATE SITTING OF THE HOUSE. Mr. GILPIN said as an erroneous impression prevaile d With respect to his motion, he should bring it forward tomorrow. HOUSE DUTY. Mr. ALDERMAN LAWRENCE gave notice that on the con sideration of the House Duties Bill he should bring up a clause exempting houses in which only a servant resided thereon for the purpose of protecting the premises. TREATY WITH SPAIN. Mr. GRIEVE asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he would inform the House what pro gress hade in regard to a new Treaty of Commerce with Spain. Mr. OTWAY said he was unable to say that the negotia tions had made much progress since the last question was addressed to him. Difficulties had arisen with respect to the wine duties which still continued. DISMISSING VOLUNTEERS. Mr. WELBY asked the Secretary of State for War 'Whether it was true that Messrs. John Preston and -Alfred Woodrow had been dismissed from the 13th Lin n°lllshire Rifle Volunteer Corps without either a court of iti gnirY being held or an opportunity of explanation o r de -1 t euee being afforded them. I\f ir• CARDWELL said that a controversy having arisen 'with respect to the conduct of a Quartermaster-Sergeant, 4 4 , 11 i nquiry took place, and the result was forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant, and he was of opinion that the Person had erred through ignorance; but as the proper aAnission was not made by the parties, a copy of the pro ceedings had been f orwar d e d t o th e Wa r Office. One of t he Persons had since expressed his regret, and had been reinstated. THE KEBLE COLLEGE. VERNON HARCOURT asked the Solicitor-General W hethe r a charter had been granted by the Crown, inco rporating a new College in the University of Oxford, plied Keble College ; if so, whether by such incorpora -4 the Keble College would come within the operation itof the Bill now depending for the repeal of Religious Tests , th e Univer s iti es ; an d, w h e th er th ere w o u ld be a n y the Je l l o iol e t . o lay a copy of such charter upon the table of The SOLICITOR-GE NERAL said it was true that a charter beenbe a granted to the new college.

The delay occurred in consequence of getting the appeal proceeded with, as there were pine cases before it. There had been several communications on the subject, and he felt certain no unnecessary delay would take place in the hearing of the appeal. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 14, 1870. impossible, he said, to deal with a bill of 700 clauses in the present session in an effectual manner. It would be better to postpone the measure until next session. Mr. SAMUDA, whilst he agreed with the hon. baronet that inquiry was necessary on one part of the subject, namely, the loss of life at sea, arising principally from the overloading of vessels, and the sending to sea unseaworthy vessels, he did not think they ought to stop legislation on the general question. Once of the clauses of the bill rendered it a misdemeanour to send a vessel to sea in an unseaworthy condition. The hon. member referred to other benefits which the bill would confer upon the com mercial community generally, and remarked that it would be unwise to deprive them of such advantages pending an inquiry. Mr. GRAVES criticised the bill, and remarked that in his opinion it contained proposals which were not practi cable ; but if it could be shown that life could be conserved by legislation without interfering with the natural flow of the trade of tde country, it was their duty to adopt that legislation. At the same time he agreed with the hon. baronet that an enquiry was necessary. He believed that the bulk of the bill might be reduced one half. He believed that in the present state of business it was impossible to get the bill through this session. Mr. GOURLEY asked when a vessel was in an unsea. worthy state. When a vessel left the United Kingdom she might be in a seaworthy condition, but it might in two years afterwards become unseaworthy whilst on h voyage. In that case it would be hard to make the owner liable to a prosecution. Mr. LIDDELL spoke in favour of early legislation with regard to the subject. Mr. GLADSTONE could not accede to the proposition of Sir John Pakington that the bill should have been intro duced by a member of the Cabinet. It was not unusual for important measures to be promoted by gentlemen who did not come within the category of responsible Ministers of the Crown. He did not think they need despair of carrying the measure this session, because it was one of those measures which were in no inconsiderable degree passed by the action of the country rather than by the House. After some further discussion— Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE explained the principal changes proposed by his bill, and said that before the measure went into committee, he should consult those members who represent shipping communities. The bill was read a second time. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON moved that the bill be referred to a select committee so far as regarded parts 3 and 6, with power to take evidence with respect to the best mode of preventing overlading of ships and collisions at sea. Mr. GLIDsToNE suggested that the Government should have time to consider the matter, and the suggestion was adopted. THE BOARD OF TRADE BILL. This bill was read a second time. TELEGRAPHS ACT EXTENSION (EXPENSE OF PURCHASE). This bill passed through committee. JEWISH UNITED SYNAGOGUES BILL. This bill wad read a third time. PROTECTION OF INVENTIONS BILL. The House went into committeeon the above bill, which passed through. MAGISTRATES IN POPULOUS PLACES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The above bill passed through committee. Several other measures were advanced a stage. Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE moved for a select com mittee to inquire into the operation of the present area of rating within Poor-law 'Unions in Ireland, with a view to ascertain whether such area of rating might with advantage be extended. _ _ After some discussion Mr. COLLINS moved the adjourn of the debate, which was agreed to. The House adjourned at one o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS—THIS MORNING. THE LORDS AND THE LAND BILL. There is much, says the Times, that the Lords may do to improve the Land Bill, or, rather, to remove the diffi culties in the way of its execution ; but not if they seem to start with a foregone conclusion against its first prin ciple, which is a final settlement of the land question, and peace, not at any price, but at a price not beyond its value. Will the Lords bethink themselves how many questions there have been which did not admit of a peaceable, even though costly, solution, but .which were allowed to run to the arbitrament of the sword, or even to some worse solution ? In times past the Sovereignty of these realms allowed Irish discontent to proceed to rebellion, and more recently it allowed Irish misrule to culminate in a dreadful and irremidable famine. Of rebellion, famine, and surviving hatred, it is hard to say which is worst. But every nation has been warned, even within a year or two, to set its house in order, to remove all causes of discontent, and to present a united front to the world without. We have heard the call, and we have listened to it. We have given up some posi tions and supremacies which divided our strength while they only flattered our pride. Year by year we have recognised the necessity of resting the bond of impe rial union on community of interest and unanimity of sentiment. That work is complete, except at home. Within these isles the work remains to be done. When the whole race of Ireland feel that through their repre sentatives in the British Parliament they are as thoroughly considered and as well governed as they would be by a Parliament of their own, then we shall feel as easy in that quarter as we are about the loyalty of our Cana dian or Australian fellow-subjects. The Standard says that Lord Derby should decline to explain in the Merchant Taylors' Hall the line which the House of Lords—or the leaders of the majority in that House—intend to take upon the Irish Land Bill was a matter of course. Such an anticipation of parliamentary discussion would have been altogether discourteous and irregular ; and though eminent Liberal examples might be cited in excuse of such irregularity, they are hardly suitable for Conservative imitation. In affirming it to be their duty to propound nothing they cannot hope to carry, and to stand by whatever they may finally deter mine, Lord Derby has traced the course to be taken with regard to this particular measure. What the Lords can reasonably hope to carry into effect is on each particular issue matter of opinion and of detail. That they could not wisely attempt to defeat the bill, that they may and will endeavour to amend it, is evident. And in Lord Derby's words we may see the character of the amendments to which he looks. As Mr. Gladstone refuses to listen to opponents in the House of Commons, and as the majority there follows his lead with abject docility, the influence of that which is for the time being a minority can only be exerted through the House of Lords ; and in proportion as the views of that assembly are allowed to modify a scheme at present conceived too exclusively from one standpoint, and adapted to one inte rest, will be its chance of smooth working, of peaceful efficacy, and of permanent success. MR. HARCOURT ' S AMENDMENT. The Telegraph considers there is nothing to be said against Mr. Harcourt's amendment to the University Tests Bill. All colleges which may be founded after the passing of the Act will be free from the scope of its pro visions. Thus, the Roman Catholics, the Wesleyans, the Baptists, the Presbyterians, and the Society of Friends may each found a college at Oxford and at Cambridge, to which none will be admitted save the members of their own communion, and the emoluments of which will be given to none who do not fulfil the conditions of the founders. There is no reason why we should forbid the sects to build special colleges at Oxford or Cambridge if they choose. Why should we prohibit the Roman Catholics or the Wesleyans from forming, at either of these universities, a college in which the youth of their own communion should be educated in their own way? That would be, not Liberalism, but a curtailment of individual liberty. Again, the Roman Catholic College of Oscott is affiliated to the University of London. Why, then should not a Presbyterian College be affiliated to the University of Oxford ? On the other hand, as the Solicitor-General says, the bill does not declare that the sectarian colleges at Oxford or Cam bridge shall never be touched by Parliament. No such declaration is made, because it would be futile. We can not bind the Legislature of the future. A hundred or six hundred years hence the Parliament of England will not pay much attention to our legislative decrees. But we can, and we do, say that the present bill should not apply to colleges founded after it shall have become law. That stipulation we make on the ground that the several reli gious bodies should be bound by no unnecessary fetters : and Mr. Harcourt acknowledged the force of the plea by withdrawing his amendment. The time for discussing the subject of University Tests has passed, and the Peers will doubtless see that the question must at last be settled out of hand. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN ITALY AND PORTUGAL. The Italian Foreign Minister has given some explana tions to the Chamber of Deputies at Florence on the diplomatic rupture between Italy and Portugal. The Duke of Saldanha, he said, instead of sending the Italian Minister the same circular as the other legations on coming to power, sent him a note saying he could not hold relations with him on account of expressions he had used respecting the late events. The Italian Ministers had therefore recalled their representative, having consulted alike the dignity of the nation and the family ties existing between the Courts. [The following appeared in our Special Edition of yes terday evening LOSS OF A BRITISH GUNBOAT-- LOSS OF LIFE. It is stated that TIM. gunboat Slaney was lost in a gale off the Paraeel's Islands on the 16th of last month. Her commander, lieutenant; surgeon, and forty-three men were drowned. Two other vessels, the Salamis and the Adventure, left Bom bay when the message was sent to render assis tance. The news of two other wrecks, that of the steamer Kay, from Hong Kong and Manilla, off the Hawaiin coast, and the Caractacus off Drum mond Island, also reaches us through Bombay. turned a verdict of accidental death, and asked the repre sentatives of the press to take notice of the expression of their hope that the melancholy occurrence would prove a warning to others. The coroner joined in that hope. It was marvellons, he said, that young men were so careless, and he was afraid to say how many inquests he held were necessitated by that cause. OPEN COMPETITION. Lord CLAUD JOHN HAMILTON asked the First Lord of the Treasury, with reference to the order in council dated 4th of June, upon what system the selection of the Government Offices to be thrown open to public competi tion has been made ; and why certain offices, namely, the Home and Foreign Offices hade been omitted, whilst others such as the Treasury, Colonial Office, and Admiralty, had been included. Mr. GLADSTONE said the Government had not thought it its duty or sound policy to come at once to an authori tative decision binding the head of every department in his separate capacity, but it had considered it important, with the view of the more satisfactory working of the system, if it allowed the heads of the departments to speak to a great extent in the present state of the question to the applicability of the new system to the method of each particular depart ment. There was a considerable degree of experimental matter, and it could not be treated as if the question had been completely solved by experience. The cases of the Home and Foreign Office rested upon the new course taken by the heads of those offices. With regard to the Home Office it was proposed by the Secre tary of State to adopt -immediately the new system of open competitive examinations in all the departments which were placed under the Home Office. With regard to the Foreign Office, from the highly confidential and delicate nature of a portion of the duties performed, in that office, it would not be wise at present to advise without further information and experience, the adop tion of the system, which was about to be put in opera tion in the other departments of the State. POSTAGE TO FRANCE. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Postmaster-General whether, when the intended reduction of postage on letters passing between this country and France has been carried into effect, it would not be fair and equitable to make a corre sponding reaction on the postage of letters passing through France by the Overland Mails to and from the East. THE Marquis of HARTINGTON said the convention which would come into operation on the first day of next month provided only for the reduction of rates on inter national letters. It did not in any way affect the mails through France, and therefore it was not in the power of the Government to make any reduction. THE SUPPLY OF INK. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Secretary to the Treasury to state the quantity and cost of the ink annually purchased for the public service ; and whether it was supplied by private contract with one or more firms, or by public tender. Mr. STANSFELD replied that the quantity of ink pur chased in 1869-70 was 7,916 gallons of liquid ink, 169,392 ink powders, the cost being £3,112 6s. 6d., of which amount upwards of £1,500 was purchased for and would be repaid by India. The whole was supplied by private contract. THE EDUCATION BILL. In reply to Lord R. MONTAGU, Mr. GLADSTONE said that, considering the advanced period of the session and the desirableness of expediting the passage of the Education Bill, it was time now to ask the House to consent to morning sittings. He proposed that from Friday next they should have morning sittings especially for the purpose of prosecuting the Education Bill. It was the intention of the Government to go through with it without interruption as a general rule. THE ENGLISH EMBASSY AT C9NSTANTI- NOPLE. In reply to Mr. RYLANDS, .. . Mr. OTWAY, stated that although the English Embassy at Constantinople had not been totally destroyed it had suffered to a very great extent. UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL. The House then went into committee on the University Tests Bill. The two first amendments, proposed by Mr. J. D. Lewis and Lord Fitzmaurice, were withdrawn, after a brief discussion, and the first and second clauses were agreed to. Mr. Stevenson, in Clause 3, moved the omis sion of the words, " other than a degree in divinity." He pointed out that whilst they were opening out to candidates for the ministry connected with non-established churches the benefit of the universities, ' they according to the bill denied them the further prose cution of the studies in their professional direction when they said that they should not be opened to the degrees of divinity. The Solicitor-General said he was not prepared to accept the extreme liberalism of the hon. gentleman, because, although they freely opened the universities without tests, it was essential to reserve divinity degrees other than honorarydegrees to some definite form of teaching. After some remarks from Mr. Hadfield, who strongly advocated what he called freedom of thought, Mr. Glad stone said the proposal was to enable degrees in divinity to be given irrespective of the religious tenets or prin ciples which the person who was about to receive the de gree might hold, and he asked how far that principle was to be carried out.—Dr. Lyon Playfair supported the amendment, referring to the practice in the Universities in Scotland.—Mr. Winterbotham said he could understand the secularisation of the universities, but he did not under stand ,the secularisation of religion. He urged the committee to reject the amendment, remarking that he did not believe the Dissenters had asked for it. After some further discussion Mr. Steven son said that after the expression of opinion from the Government he should not press his amendment. At the same time he regretted that the committee could not see its way to bringing the English universities to the same point of liberality in this respect as the Scotch universities.—Mr. Fawcett remarked that the amendment involved an im portant principle, and he thought hon. members opposite were bound to oppose it. But he could not un derstand why it should meet with any opposition from that side of the House. The object of the promoters of the bill was to make a change in the character of the old universities of England, and to make them, instead of Church of England institutions, great national institutions. The withdrawal of the amendment having been objected to, the committee divided on the question that the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the bill. The result was—Ayes 262, noes 101. An amendment proposing to leave out , the words " sub sisting at the time of the passing of the Act," was after some discussion withdrawn by Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the mover. He gave notice that on the report he should move that no charter be granted to any college in corporated into a university until it had been laid for a certain time upon the table of the House. Mr. FAWCETT moved the omission of proviso 1. He remarked that unless his amendment was carried the bill would be inconsistent. About 160 fellowships in the two universities would be left in exactly the same position when the measure was passed as they were before if the proviso were permitted to remain. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in opposing the amendment, said that the bill as it stood was in substance a bill which had again and again been submitted to both Houses of Parliament, the result of the deliberations of the leading men at Cambridge and Oxford, in whom the Government placed entire confidence, who wished to have the bill sub-" stantially in the shape it was now in. He believed that it would be accepted as a reasonable settlement of the diffi culty, and an honest attempt to put an end to a state of things which every one who wished well to the universities and colleges desired to put fl,n end to. Mr. Gladstone said that in the autumn he had had an interview with what might justly be called a representative deputation from the non-conforming bodies, and it was understood that the bill should contain no provision for the abolition of the college statutes which related to clerical fellow ships. Mr. Fawcett divided the committee, when his amendment was rejected by a majority of 157 to 79. Several other amendments were considered. Before nine o'clock, the schedule and preamble of the bill were agreed to. STAMP DUTY ON LEASES BILL. The House shortly after went into committee on the Stamp Duty on Leases Bill, which passed, after amend ments and the omission of Clause 2. THE MERCHANT SHIPPING CODE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. RATHBONE called attention to the subjects which the measure did not deal with, and pressed upon the House certain matters for consideration in committee. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON thought that a bill of that magnitude should be in charge of ;responsible Minister of the Crown. He referred to his motion for an inquiry into the subject, and said that no one would deny that there was a necessity for an inquiry. He thought it was much better to wait than to legislate in a h urry. It was CHARLES DICKENS AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY. The Daily News declares that the public will learn with ' satisfaction that the question whether the remains of Charles Dickens shall rest in Westminster Abbey is re ceiving anxious consideration from those nearest and dearest to him. In illustration of our great author's profound and deeply-rooted horror of the things he has bidden his repre sentatives avoid, we are informed now by the sole survivor of a certain funeral party at which Dickens was chief mourner, that it was followed within a few weeks by the publica tion of the passages in " Great Expectations," on a stress, which is almost fierce, is laid upon the wretched mockery which the undertakers' mummery implies. He chose to impress his countrymen with the grotesque side of this outrage then and he has now left them as a legacy his earnest and solemn procest against it. His funeral is not only to be private, but is to be devoid of the mockeries he hated and despised ; and the public may be satisfied that his express injunctions to the effect will be religiously carried out. It would seem on the face of it that this injunction need not interfere with his lying among the other mighty dead at West minster; but his representatives are the only people who can decide. Of this, the millions who have loved and admired Dickens, and who are now mourning him, may .be assured : If his remains are not interred at West minster, it will be because those best qualified to judge have considered it to be incompatible with his wish. THE MID-CHANNEL TELEGRAPH CABLE The Mid-Channel Telegraph Cable, laid to the ship, Brisk, moored fifty miles S.W. of Land's End, is being taken up. The vessel' is said to have been unfit for the service ; the cable has parted frequently, and homeward bound ships have not used it to any large extent. DISCOVERY OF URANIUM, Uranium has been discovered at Trelyon Consols Mine, n Cornwall. The uranium found at Wheal Owles Mine !etched £5OO per ton. MR. CHARLES DICKENS'S FUNERAL. The remains of the late'Mr. Charles Dickens will be re moved froin his residence, Gad's-hill-placee, to-morrow, and conveyed to London ; his family having, it is believed, consented to his being buried in Westminster Abbey. SUSPECTED TRADE OUTRAGE, Four men were brought up at the Manchester City Police-court yesterday on suspicion of being concerned in an attempt to commit a trades outrage at the timber yard of Messrs. Robert Mill and Sons, builders, Manches ter. The firm named, the principal of which was the late Mayor of Manchester, received a threatening letter a few days ago stating that their timber yard would be burned down the same as Mr. Johnson's, with whom they have been associated in recent trade disputes. In consequence of this letter a watch has been kept at the timber yard, and on Saturday night four men were observed crouching on the ground outside the yard and maintaining a conver sation, after which one of them clambered over the pro tecting wall, and was making his way through the yard when he was seized and taken into custody. His com panions were also apprehended. The men declared that they were far from home, and had only wanted to go to sleep ; but the stipendiary magistrate thought the case required investigation and granted a remand. Intelligence was received in Liverpool to-day by Messrs. Gibb, Bright. and Co., to the effect that their steamer the Great Britain had reached Melbourne, all well, on the 14th of May, after a rapid passage of 56 days. THE CATHOLICS AND THE EDUCATION QUESTION. The Catholic laity are determined not to be left in the rear of their fellow-countrymen on the Education ques tion. The Nonconformists have held several meetings throughout the country to advocate their views, and now the first Catholic peer of England has summoned the principal Catholic peers and gentry to a special conference at Norfolk House. As might have been expected the meeting was very fully attended. The Duke himself and Lord Howard of Glossop were the chief speakers. General unanimity prevailed. Resolutions were passed ex pressing anxiety as to the future of English primary education, and appointing a Committee to collect funds and otherwise assist the efforts of the bishops to forward the mode of education among the Catholic poor. It was ob served that the Catholics must aim at two things : first, to retain the liberty and preserve the efficiency of the ex isting schools ; and secondly, to provide additional schools to educate those now destitute. FIRE AT WESTMINSTER. The temporary station of the Metropolitan District Railway at Westminster was last night partially de stroyed by fire. The cause is unknown. Only the roof of the station was injured, and that not to a considerable extent. It is not known if the company is insured. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

They improve the appetite, strengthen the stomach, and overcome all its difficulties. No medicine is so well adapted for the sedentary and studious ; they fortify the nerves, and give universal tone to the system. Be the malady what it may, Holloway's purifying pills will abate its severity and abridge its durations. They extract all poisonous matter from the blood, and expel all gross humours from the frame. Biliousness, flatulency, nausea, distension, and constipation give way at once to these pills, which, acting though the medium of the constitu tion, exercise a most beneficial influence over the entire body. STORMS IN NEW SOUTH WALES. News from the Australian colonies, dated May 20 reports that severe floods have occurred in New South Wales, by which great damage has been done and many lives have been lost. Sydney itself is partly submerged. There has been apparently a very severe storm, as the less of the Walter Hood is re ported off Jervis Bay, thirteen lives being lost with her. THE VICTORIAN PARLIAMENT. The Victorian Parliament re-assembled at the end of May, and the Ministers had the majority. The Budget shows an expenditure of £3,400,000 against an estimated revenue of £3,500,000. Business is improving, with the exception of min ing interests. FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA. We learn from Pennsylvania that disastrous freshets have occurred on the Susquehanna River, to the great detriment of the lumber rafts. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.) DECLARATION OF THE POLL-ISLE OF WIGHT. At the official declaration of the poll for the Isle of Wight, yesterday, the Deputy Sheriff said the num bers were—Cochrane, 1,316 ; Moffatt, 1,282. He there fore declared Mr. Cochrane duly elected. Mr. Cochrane, in returning thanks, said it was seventeen years since a Conservative member had been returned for the Isle of Wight. He declared that the election had been a pure one; and denied any knowledge of the circumstances under which the Portsmouth mob was brought over to Ryde. He (Mr. Cochrane) also expressed his sympathy with Mr. Thurlow under his severe bereavement, and paid a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Sir John Simeon, Bart DECLARATION OF THE POLL-SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE. The declaration of the poll for South Leicestershire took place yesterday in front of the Castle, Leicester. The crowd, which numbered about 4,000, were very or derly, and used no violence whatever. Mr. Under- Sheriff Berridge, in the absence of the High Sheriff,who is indisposed, declared the numbers as follows—Heygate,3,292; Paget, 2,585. Majority for Heygate, 707. Both candidates addressed the crowd, Mr. Heygate obtaining a very quiet hearing. He attributed his return to tho constituency entertaining constitutional opinions, to volunteer workers, and to a large majority of the voters agreeing with him on the subject of education. He regarded it as a protest against what some people called non-sectarian education, but which he called irreligious education. Mr. Paget at tributed his defeat to the screw and defective State register. He did not believe that it had anything to do with education or reciprocity. The correct majority obtained by Mr. Heygate, the C onservative candidate, was 712, and not 707. A mistake was discovered in adding up one of the district returns, which gave Mr. Heygate 5 more votes. REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL. A meeting of the Liberals of Bristol was held last even ing, and was addressed by Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Odger. The majority were in favour of the former as the Liberal candidate. Mr. Odger said he should postpone his de cision upon the subject of going to the poll. THE ROYAL VISIT TO READING. The Reception Committee at Reading have completed most of the necessary arrangements for the visit of the Prince of Wales. At the Great Western Railway a triumphal arch will be erected by the Freemasons, and the arch will be decorated with masonic emblems. At St. Laurence's Church, in front of the Town Hall, a second arch will be erected ; and others will be raised at various parts of the town by private persons and the Corporation. The inhabitants of Reading still hope, though no intima tion to that effect has been received, that the Princess of Wales will accompany the Prince. THE PRINCE OF WALES' INTERNATIONAL CUP. It seems very probable that the international match for the cup presented by the Prince of Wales will not take place. His Royal Highness will not give it unless one of the American schooner yachts enter. Mr. Douglas has refused to enter the Sappho, and it will not be definitely known for some days if Mr. Bennett will enter the Daunt less. Mr. Bennett is now abroad, and will not give his decision till his return. THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON EDUCATION The Bishop of Exeter attended a meeting, held in the Cathedral City yeterday, on the subject of education. His lordship said he was in favour of a most stringent conscience clause, believing that parents ought to feel that the ulti mate responsibility of giving their children the benefit of a religious education rested upon themselves. There must be concession, but the limit was maintaining the religious character of schools. Bible instruction should be given in school hours. Dean Boyd spoke against compulsory education. A CHURCH RATE CASE. Joseph Royston, of the parish of All Saints, Cambridge, was summoned before the mayor and ex-mayor, yesterday morning, for a refusal to pay church rate. The rate which was demanded was merely that portion required to pay principal and interest of an amount borrowed from the Commissioners of Public Works for rebuilding the edifice, and the defence set up was that the defendant, not being a parishioner at the time the money was bor rowed, was not liable under the Act. Mr. Cockerel' ap peared for the prosecution, and an order was made for the payment of the rate. and expenses. The defendant said that he was Dissenter, and had nothing to do with the Church, and did not mean to pay. He would rather go to gaol. THE LATE BOAT ACCIDENT AT HYDE. At a little before eight o'clock yesterday morning, while searching for the bodies of the young men drowned at Ryde on Friday night through the capsizing of a boat, the boat was hooked by the drags, and on it being raised the body of the young man Clark was found clinging to the boat. The boatmen think they succeeded in hooking a second body ; but that the clothes broke away, causing them to lose the body. They are now actively engaged in the search. LATER PARTICULARS. The body of another of the young men who lost their lives in the accident has been recovered. The body of Mr. Frederick Thurlow wasrecovered yesterday afternoon. The deputy coroner, Mr. E. Blake, held the inquest at the Esplanade Hotel immediately. One of the witnesses stated that seeing that the young men were ignorant of the proper way in which to manage the boat he watched it and gave the alarm when it capsized. The jury re_ MONETARY REPORTS-YESTERDAY. To-day being the commencement of the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign 'builds, business, apart from transactions necessary for the adjustment, has beers on a very moderate scale. Nevertheless, healthy feeling has at the same time been apparent, and, with but few exceptions the quotations have been maintained.

On the other hand, Metropolitan is 1 lower, at 661 to 662 ; and Caledonian b, at 762 to 77. Indian stocks have been quiet. Canadian shares have been firm, and Great Western have risen 4.

Turkish Five per Cents. have risen a, the quotation being 54, 541 ; and the per Cents. of 1869 at 651, 65, are also a better ; Italian (1861) at 60, 604, Spanish (1867) at 32, 321, ditto (1869) at 31ff, 311, and Turkish (1865) at 742, 754, are each 4 per cent. better.

The Five-Twenty (1882) bonds have risen i ; ditto (1885), * ; Ten-Forty, i per cent. _ _ There has been very little inquiry for bank shares. London and Westminster have been i lower, otherwise the quotations have been well maintained. In telegraph shares the business doing has been limited. Anglo-Mediteranean have , fallen B, and French cables 6. In miscellaneous securities the business doing has been unimportant, and prices have been without, quotable variation. The sum of £54,000 has been taken to the Bank to-day. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer due on Friday next will bring £450,000. The discount market has been moderately supplied with capital. There has been a healthy demand for ac commodation, and three months' paper has been nego tiated at 21, 3 per cent. The steamers which left New York on Saturday took out £BO,OOO in specie. Melbourne advices, dated May 22, state that the Avoca has taken to Galle £443,500 in bar gold, and £48,750 in sovereigns. The Shropshire has also left with £27,500. The report of the Northern Assurance Company states that 616 policies for £392,462, yielding in new premiums 11,968, were issued during the past year. A dividend at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum was declared. Considerable firmness has been apparent in the grain trade to-day. Notwithstanding that the wheat plant con tinues to present a healthy appearance, the only drawback being its stunted growth, factors have succeedeu in establishing a further improvement of fully 2s. per qr. All kinds of spring corn, also, have risen ls. to 2s. per qr.
