Vyner, Mr Clare Vyner, with Earl de Grey and Ripon ; Earl Cowper, with Mr H. Cowper ; Lord Muncaster, with the Rev. W. Vyner.

A telegram from Ripon stated that the inhabitants cl sed their shops iu memory of the deceased. The blinds were drawn down in the dwelling houses, and the Fine Arts Exhibition was shut up. Ruffled peals were rung at the Cathedral. The weather, seeming to befit the occasion, was dull.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—TIIESDAY. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. SEQUESTRATION BILL. The Bishop of WINCHESTER moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to deprive the bene ficed clergymen of the power of sequestrating their livings for the payment of their creditors. Lord CAIRNS opposed the bill, on the ground that it made no provision for the payment of the debts of bene ficed clerks ; but, on the contrary, it deprived them of the only means by which in most cases it was possible to pay. The Archbishop of YORK supported the bill, as he thought it would lead to incalculable good, and because it provided that in future the endowments of churches should be regarded as trusts, and not as a freehold. Lord WESTBURY did not approve of the principle of the bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY opposed the principle of the bill ; but he would consent to the measure being referred to a Select Committee. After a few words from the Lord Chancellor, the bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Com mittee. The Oyster and Mussel Fisheries Supplemental Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes to seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at five minutes to four. REVISION OF THE SCRIPTURES. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, on the part of Mr. C. Buxton, gave notice that on the 14th of June he should move for the appointment of a Royal Commission to consider the revi sion of the authorised version of the Scriptures. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1870. schemes which had been propounded for the improvement of the Channel passage. The motion was then withdrawn, Sir William Gallwey being content with the discussion it had elicited. THE EMIGRATION QUESTION. Mr. W. M. TORRENS was about to move a resolution that an humble address be presented to her Majesty praying that she might direct measures to be taken to provide passages to the colonies for intendfng emigrants, who should be approved by competent authority, at cheap and uniform rates of charge, when, The SPEAKER ruled that it could not be put inasmuch as there was a rule of the House, which prevented the discussion of a proposition which was the same in sub stance as one already resolved upon in the session. A similar proposal had been made in the present session, and, therefore, Mr. Torrens's motion could not be con sidered. INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. FAWCETT gave notice that on that day month he should call the attention of the House to the - above subject, and move a resolution to the effect, that, considering the unsatisfactory state of the finances of India, it was a matter of regret that the Indian Budget was not to be brought forward until the close of the session, and that such a circumstance must prove to the people of India that the Government was not duly solicitous for their welfare. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS. Mr. J. TALBOT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been drawn to the way in which the return of Prison (Reli gious Instruction) presented Bth February last, has been prepared, and to the irregular manner in which the number of Roman Catholic prisoners are given. Mr. BRUCE said the return was made up exactly in the form received at the Home-office, and the want of uni formity was due to the uncertain terms in which the re turn was moved for. The only way to remedy the matter would be to move for a fresh return, but it was question able whether it would be worth while to do so. PARK LANE Mr. DENISON asked the hon. member for Bath what steps had been taken by the Metropolitan Board of Works to carry into effect the Act of 1866 for opening out a thoroughfare between Piccadilly and Park lane through Hamilton-place; and when such thoroughfare was likely to be ready for public use. Mr. TITE said not a moment was being lost in making the roadway through Hamilton-place to Park-lane, which would be sixty feet wide. The land had all been arranged for, and before the end of February next year the thoroughfare would be opened. NEW THOROUGHFARES Mr. DENISON asked the First Commissioner of Works, whether he was prepared to allow the passage of cabs (with fares) from Hy de Park-corner to Stanhope-gate as a temporary measure, until the new thoroughfare through Hamilton Place was opened for public use. Mr. AYRTON said he had not the requisite authority to allow cabs to pass. As the new road just spoken of would be open in so short a time, he did not think it would be requisite to make any alteration. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. MANIAC asked the Under Secretary - of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty's Government had con sidered fully the representations made to them by the Commissioners from the colony of New Zealand, and had come to a final conclusion in regard to the reply to be given. Mr. MONSELL entered at some length into the subject of New Zealand, and concluded by saying that the pre cautions in the case of that colony had induced the Government to submit to Parliament proposals for the granting of a loan of £1,000,000 for New Zealand under proper conditions for its repayment. THE PUBLIC STATUES. Lord CLAUD HAMILTON asked the First Commissione r of Works whether his attention had been called to the fact that the bases of the Statues in Waterloo Place, Cockspur Street, and Charing Cross had been used by the road contractors during the past fourteen months as depots for stones and other rubbish. Mr. AYRTON said the matter more particularly belonged to the Home Office, but the vestries in which those statues were situated had promised to remove the rubbish and take care it was not allowed to accumulate for the future. Lord ELcHo thought some of the statues might be a s well carted away with the rubbish. THE GREEK MURDERS. Slr J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Under Secretery of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as it appears from the papers laid before the House, that the release of the captives in Greece was opposed by a political party in Athens, and as the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had pressed on the Government of Greece the urgent duty of tracing out this conspiracy, her Majesty's Government did not consider that the presence of the Mediterranean Fleet at the Piraeus would strengthen the hands of the Greek authorities in pursuing an investiga tion involving many persons of high political and social position at Athens. Mr. OTwAY said that Her Majesty's Government had required that the investigation into the circumstances connected with the recent murders should be searching and complete. The inquiry was being conducted with all practical speed. As he had informed the House on a previous occasion, Mr. Erskine would, during the inquiry, have the benefit of the assistance of able counsel. The Government did not think that at present there was any necessity for the presence of the Mediterranean Fleet in the Piraeus. COLLECTION OF TAXES. Mr. BROGDEN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention, in connection with the proposed transfer of the collection of taxes from parochial officers to the officers of the Inland Revenue, to make arrangements for defraying the charges of collection out of the monies voted by Parliament for that purpose, and not, as heretofore, by means of advances out of the gross revenue. Mr. STANSFELD replied to the question of the hon. member, and said the cost of collection would be charged against the Parliamentary votes. THE CHANNEL PASSAGE, Sir WILLIAM GALLWEY moved that in the opinion of the House her Majesty's Government should invite the co-operation of the French Government for the purpose of improving the Channel passage between the two coun tries. The hon. gentleman called attention to the acknow ledged disadvantages and discomforts which passengers experienced under the present system of communication between England and France, and to the necessity for improvement. To England the passage of the Channel was of far greater importance and consequence than it was to France, inasmuch as it was the only way into conti nental Europe, and not only Europe, but to Africa and other distant places. He thought every one would allow that the means of communication between the two nations were unatisfactory and dangerous. The motion having been seconded, Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE said that the report of Captain Tyler confirmed what the hon. baronet had said about the discomforts passengers had to endure. Captain Tyler reported that one-half of the passengers suffered extreme discomfort from sea-sickness and want of shelter. Out of 365 days, experience had shewn that there were only 90 days of fine weather, whilst there were 29 days of gales and storms, and 102 good round seas and breezes. Much of the discomfort was attributed to the smallness of the vessels, but at present it was impossible to run larger steamers. The hon. gentleman described the condition of the harbour accommodation across the channel, and the character of the representations made on the subject to the French Government. The only difficulty which the French Government appeared to hive, was the number of MR. D'ARCY IRVINE. Mr. SAUNDERSON asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whethor the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called to outrages said to have taken place in the county Fermanagh against Mr. D'Arcy Irvine. Whether, in the opinion of her Majesty's Goveinment those alleged outrages were not imaginary, and, whether it is true, as reported, that Mr. D'Arcy Irvine appeared at the fair of Irvinestown, on the 9th of this month, at the head of one hundred men, armed with Snider rifles ; and, if this report was correct, whether it was not necessary to put an immediate stop to such proceedings. He also wanted to know whether Mr. D'Arcy Irvine had appeared in the streets and fired two shots in the front of the house of Captain Butler, the stipendiary magistrate, and that a portion of the inhabitants displayed their sympathy by vociferous cheering, and further, whether Mr. Irvine had convened a meeting for Friday next in the following terms : " Rise, sons of civil and religious liberty, Orange and Green ! Meet me in Enniskillen on Friday next, in Fair green, in defence of the Queen and her throne, in defence of your lives and rights, in defiance of all party govern ment, in defiance of ascendancy and race magistrates who write in the press that peaceable inhabitants are shocked to see loyal men carrying arms to defend them selves against assassination. United we stand ; divided we fall." Mr. FORTESCUE, in reply, said his attention had been called to the outrage said to have been committed, not upon Mr. D'Arcy Irvine, but against one of his servants. The story was that the servant had been fired at in the dark, but the gun snapped. From the information he had received, he confessed, he believed that the outrage was purely ima ginary. With respect to the latter part of the question, he had received no official intelligence ; he would take care to inquire into the fact, but he was inclined to believe that the stories in this respect were imaginary also. THE INDIAN COUNCIL OF STATE. Mr. GRAVES called attention to the constitution of the Council of State for India, and moved that in the opinion of the House it was desirable that the Council would employ amongst its members persons practically conversant with the trade and commerce of India. The policy he advocated was not a new one. The member for Buckinghamshire, when he introduced the bill for giving a new constitution to the India Board, proposed that there should be five members representing the five great centres of industry in this country. The proposal was objected to in the House, and ultimately abandoned, partly in consequence of the difficulty of finding a suitable franchise, bait more especially, he suspected, because it was difficult and_incon sistent with their policy to reconcile popular election with executive officers. The hon. gentleman proceeded to quote from petitions, as indicating opinions in favour of the proposal. He might add to the testimony he had pre sented to the House that of Manchester, but hoped that the hon. members of that city would themselves state the feeling in that part of the country on the subject to which he had called the attention of the House. He was sure the trade of India was but yet in its infancy, and if they only gave free scope and legitimate encouragement to it, it would develope itself to an extent that now was scarcely to be imagined. As matters stood now he did not think that the salary of £1,200 a year was suffi cient to attract able and qualified men from the counting-house—men who were well conversant with the wants of the country—to seek appointments in the Indian Board. He hoped the Government would not meet his resolution with a hostile spirit, as he had taken the greatest care to frame it with the greatest moderation, as he felt the adoption of it would lead to the most bene ficial result. Mr. R. W. CRAWFORD agreed with the hon. gentleman that it was of the least importance to have the highest ability at the Indian Council, but to adopt the resolution by the hon. member would lead to a neces sity for an alteration in the constitution of the Council in some particulars. The proposition therefore was not consistent with the law as it now stood, although he did not scruple to say he should very much like to see mem bers of that house made eligible for service at the Board. Mr. EASTWICK thought that some change in the Indian Council was absolutely necessary. The system of appoint ment was now open to much objection, and the sooner it was reconsidered and altered, the better, because at present it was almost impossible to find a person possessed of all the necessary qualifications who would be inclined to accept the onerous oppointment if offered to him. Sir THOMAS BAZLEY had had frequent occasion to go to the India Office in London, and he had always found the Under Secretary of State for India, and all connected with the department, willing to receive suggestions for the benefit of the trade and commerce. He thought that the occasion for bringing forward the motion was singularly inopportune, seeing that it was impossible, having regard to the measures they had in hand, for Government to enter into new legislation. If the resources of India were to be developed, it was imperative that it should be by a resident body. He believed that the Secre tary of State for India had signified his intention to appoint commercial men on the Indian Council as_soon as circumstances permitted. Mr. GRANT-DUFF thought it was extremely desirable that there should be in the Council one or more persons whose duty it should principally be to keep their eyes always fixed upon the commercial government of India. Such persons should in all respects be on a level with their colleagues. It was necessary, if they were to be of use at all, they must be persons of real mark and ability, and he asked how many men in this country, where commercial aptitude brought in such golden returns, would be willing to "reign over the trees in St. James's Park," with a salary of £1,200 a year. He asked Mr. Graves to be content with the general expression of agreement with the prin ciple of the motion made by him on the part of the Government, and not to press the proposition to a division. Mr. Muraz thought the Government would have allowed the motion to have been passed. He spoke of the immense undeveloped resources of India, and strongly represented the importance of the introduction of the commercial element in the Council. Mr. GRAHAM followed in a similar address, and urged the paramount importance of commercial representation. Sir CHARLES WINGFIELD was convinced that the more public opinion could be informed as to the affairs of India the better would it be for the country, and the more likely would it be that English capital would be attracted to the great empire, and embarked in enterprises which would de velope the resources of the country. He pointed out that the commercial representatives would not be able to give any advice on matters of administration beyond their own sphere. He believed the results of the proposed change would be of a negative character, and would not alter the prin ciples upon which the Government of India was con ducted. Mr. GLADSTONE said that if they passed the motion it would bind them to a very limited choice. Those who were practically acquainted with the trade and commerce of India formed but a small body, and of that not very numerous class a large portion were entirely beyond their reach. They must look into the habits of a man, and a man with less positive knowledge, more efficient training, and elasticity of thought and faculty, was the sort of per son to whom they should look. From the discussion in the House, it appeared that there was a disposition to enlarge the circle of the elements of which the Indian Council was composed, and, that being the case, he asked the hon. member for Liverpool to withdraw the motion, as it would embarrass the selection of the Secretary of State for India. The motion was then withdrawn. EDUCATION OF CHILDREN EMPLOYED IN AGRICULTURE. Mr. FAWCETT was proceeding to call attention to the report of the commission appointed to inquire into the condition of children employed in agriculture, and to move, "That, in the opinion of this House, the evidence obtained by this commission proves that the ignorance which pre vails in the rural districts is in a far greater degree due to the early age at which children are taken from school to be sent to work than to any general deficienoy in the means of education,'.' when the attention of the Speaker was directed to the number of members present, and At ten minutes to nine the House was "counted out."

It was resolved that the balance, £13,927, should be appropriated to the extinction of the bad debts of the year, which are small, and to the further reduction of those of 1866.

LONDON WOOL MARKET, TUESDAY.--With the close of the publid sales less firmness has been noticed in the market for colonial wOot: The demand has been less active ; nevertheless, prices have been maintained. English wool has been purchased quietly, on former terins. - - LONDON COLONIAL MARKET, TUESDAY.—The sugar mar ket has ruled quiet, but pfUes are without change for both raw and refined goods. Floating cargoes hate been in request, at full values. Stock, 75,645 tons, against f 75,48 9. tons, in 1869.

The wheat trade was slow, and last Tuesday's prices were barely supported. Good barley was fully as dear. Oats and beans were the turn in favour of seller. Averageprices for the week ending May 16 :—Wheat, 1,088 qrs., 465. 3d. ; barley, 164 us*, 38s. Bd. ; wets, 15 qrs., 225. 6d. . LEEDS WOOLLEN TRADE, TUESDAY.—There was a large at tendance of manufacturers at the cloth hall this morning ; but not many buyers were present, and those who were were wool merchants. The stocks exhibited were as large as usual. The black and brown tweeds, and other sorts of thin coating sold better than of late. Manufacturers in better spirits, on account of having received some considerable orders by post. These orders apply very much to the wicker blues and blacks in beavers and witneys. But it was said this morning that employment was becotning infich better throughout all clothing districts. The all-wool superfine cloth trade, in which most of the large capitalists in Leeds are principally concerned, is quite as good as may be expected at this time of the year. The wool and mungoe merchants hare had a more spirited market than for some weeks past. The flax mills are working full time, and, coupled with the cost of the finer material, it is not unlikely that this parcel of our local industry may expand, The iron trade remains much in the same state as last reported. HULL ("URN MARKET, TUESDAY.—There Was a short supply of English 'Wheat at last week's rates. Little business passing. Foreign wheat was neglected, at a slight decline.

The Queen will leave Windsor on Thursday even ing for Balmoral. Her Majesty will travel by way of Oxford, Banbury, Leamington, Birmingham, to the Bushbury Junction of the North-Western Railway, and thence to Carlisle and on the Caledonian Railway to Perth. The weather in London was genial, a warm sun being perceptible during the greater portion of the day. A. strong breeze from the south-west still, however, con tinued. There was rain and mist and moderate southerly winds on the western coasts generally, and in Ireland, while at the eastern ports western breezes prevailed. A heavy thunderstorm, with hail, occurred at Roche's Point yesterday afteruoon, and hail has fallen at Aberdeen. The sky is very cloudy in most places, and the sea has become rough off the south of Ireland, and very high at Aberdeen. There is every probability of more storm along the north-west coast. THE DERBY AND OAKS.—A writer of " Racine' Notes " in the Pall Mall Gazette, says that the Great Northern Handicap gives notice that the Derby is at hand. Not that the Derby will be fraught with any great amount of interest this year, for the nearer the day of its decision approaches the less numerous does the field promise to be. Macgregor and Sunshine may both run in Mr. Merry's interest (they will be first and second according to many of the reputed good judges). Camel will be the representative of Joseph Dawson's stable ; Prince of Wales from Danebury, Palmerston from Fyfield—it is said that Bridgwater, who when sound has excellent qualities, has fallen lame and cannot be pre pared in time—and Cymbal seem the only other runners who can have the most remote chance, although some of those whom Macgregor defeated in the Two Thou sand Guineas (Coutts, Nobleman, and Bonny Swell) may help to swell what must be a very limited field. The Oaks, too, promises to be equally poor in point of quantity, though a contest between Hester and Sunshine, the two daughters of Thormanby, and Pate, the child of Macaroni, would recompense for want of numbers. Beyond these three the only other fillies that can be found likely to run at Epsom are Mahonia, Asterope, Gamos, Bellone (a French filly, tho proport s y of Count de Lagrange, who was only beaten by a head by Valois for the Poule d'Essai a week ago), and Gertrude.
