DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. The Freeman's Journal announces the death of Mr. Richard Bourke, one of the Dublin divisional police magistrates, which took place last evening at his re sidence in Wilton-place. Mr. Bourke received his appointment during the a dministration of the Earl of Derby, and when the office of Chief Secretary for Ire land was filled by Lord Naas, to whom the deceased gentleman was nearly related. Tho Lord-Lieutenant has appointed Mr. William Dwyer Ferguson, barrister-at law, an Assistant Com missioner of Endowed Schools, in the room of Mr. Edward PennAther, resigned. • THE MURDER OF MISS HINDS. A letter from Drogheda states that on Tuesday last the constabulary arrested at a low lodging-house in the suburbs of the town, a man answering the description in every particular given in the Hue and Cry, of the notorious " Red Pat Bannon," one of the actual mur derers of Miss Hinds. His left leg was bare, and a mark found there correspofiding with the peculiar one described in the Hew and Cry. He has been com mitted to Drogheda gaol, where he awaits further identi fication. THE TIPPERARY BANK. The Master has just given judgment against the claims for exemption pat forward on behalf of the English share holders. Master Murphy referred to several cases adju dicated upon in England, and delivered his opinions at great length, in a clear and comprehensive manner. In the course of the yldginent the Master observed that, although John Sadleir had the poVver of exercising a wonderful ascendancy over all who came within his reach, and although he had perpetrated those frauds to an enormous amount, the persona so imposed upon by him became positive shareholders in the company, and thereby entitled to share the profits, if any, arising from that branch •f trade, and being so entitled they should also be held responsible for the loss incurred by the fail ure. On looking to the law and the facts of the case, and having a viplant regard, to the best of his ability, to the able arguments he had heard, he' arrived at : the conclusion that there was nothing in the case to justify him in removing the names of the English shareholders from the list. There they would remain as shareholders, and be held accountable. AN AMOROUS TIIRE.—CONSTANTINOPLE, May P.— Something similar to the well-known abduction case of the Greek girl at Toultcha occurred at Xullallee, on the Bosphorus, about a week since, but happily not with such a terrible result. Th e i n h a bit a nts of this capital have a custom of assembling at the Sweet Waters of Europe and Asia twice a week-for recreation •, and it was at the recent. reunion of the Sweet Waters of Europe and Asia that a very pretty Greek girl, daughter of a most respectable and wealthy merchant, of Kullallee, unfor-. tunately attracted the attention of a Turkish paella , who, without ceremony, proceeded at once to carry her off'. The poor girl was, however, rescued and taken back to her house, which the pacha surrounded with his ser vants and creatures, and endeavoured to force; The merchant immediately , applied for aid to th e officer corn mant ling her Majestya troops, Gen. Wooldridge, when that gallant officer despatched his hri , ade major, Capt. Mills, to the amorous Turk, with the salutary informa• tion that the lady and her relations were under the pro tection of the flag of the German Legion, and that any further insult or injury offered to any member of the family would be visited with summary chastisement. This had the desired effect, for the general's character is so well known to the natives, that the pasha felt if he persisted in his base attempts he would, in all proba bility, adorn the first tree without further ceremony. The lady, or her friends, however, would not be safe for one hour after the British troops left ; and they were, therefore, preparing to leave at the same time. REPORTED LOBS OF THE YACHT SECRET.—A report was in circulation on Thursday that the cutter ya c h t Secret bad foundered off the North Foreland last Satur day evening with six bands. A telegraphic message ha been since received from the owner, Mr. Waring, at Plymouth, which states that he was perfectly well i that town, and that the yacht, with her crew, was safe in Ramsgate harbour on Monday last.

JAMES'S PARK AND ITS APPROACHES. Lord RAYENSWORTH rose to call -attention_ to .certain circumstances in connection with the projected approaches from Pail-mall to St. James's-park, and the defects of the east front of St. James's Palace. The noble lord objected to the contemplated removal of the German Chapel, believing that- it r was not calcu lated to confer the advantages of relieving the traffic at Charing-cross, which it was supposed it would do. He thought that the abolishing of the toll at Waterloo-bridge would be far more likely to relieve that crowded thoroughfare than the proposed alterations in St.!James's•park. The noblitr lard then went on to say that he thought the time had arrived when some im provement ought to be made to the east front of St. James's Palace. had an.appearance at present highly, dis?reditable b He thought that an attempt to follow out the style of building in the new hall lately erected in Lincoln's-inn could be made, and, at the same time, it would greatly improve the appearance of the royal pa lace.. At present it was a building utterly. unworthy of this great country. The interior arrangements. were also highly objectionable, the confusion created in the lobbies and staircase on the occa,-iou of her Ma jesty holding a drawing-room was such that the safety of the ladies attending alone ought to be of itself sufficient to cause some alteration to be immediately made. It was a proper time, when it was contem plated to improve the approaches of the park, to consider whether the court-yards, attached to that building might not be dedicated to better and more advantageous purposes, and whether the palace might not be rendered worthy of the metro polis, both to its internal embellishments and external accommodation. The noble lord then proceeded to take .sjection to the position of the statues that at present ex isted in the metropolis. The statue of Pitt in Hanover-square, he said, was exc:ledingly bad, 33 was the case with the statue of the Duke of gent in• Port land-place. It 'looked like a small black man hiding himself . behind some trees. He thought that it would be paying a compliment to ber Majesty if the statue of her royal father was removed from its present position, and placed in a more appropriate site near Buckingham Palace. The noble lord next alluded to the pictures bequeathed to the nation by Mr. Tur ner. The pictures were at present stowed away in a cellar, although they were worth their weight in gold. He had lately seen three pictures by that emineut artist sold for 5,000 guinea'. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the pictures alluded to were in a place of safety until a building worthy of the arts could be erected for their reception. Lord REDESDALE denounced the plan recom mended by the committee for the proposed road through St. James's-park. Whether for beauty or convenience it was about the worst that could have been suggested. He did not see why the road should not be taken straight into Pall•mall. The truth was, the plan had been de signed on the assumption that it was necessary to make a road through the park. He (Lord Redesdale) did not see any such necessity; but, on the contrary, he thought it would be for the interests of the public that the pri vacy of the park should be preserved. The Marquis of OLANRIOADE saidthat St. James's palace had in it some, excellent rooms. - All that was wanted was an improvement in the exits and entrances. Lord ST. LEONARDS complained of the unsightly rows of chimneys on Somersct•house. He quite concurred in thinking it desirab!o to erect a noble pile of buildings to receive all the,public offices ; for he objected to the plan of taking palaces, houses fit for the most opulent noblemen, for the offices of the different commissions. At the same time, before the Government embarked on any new building opecsations he hoped they would finish what they had in band. The dispute with Sir Charles Barry was most unseemly ; and though he must say that he thought the Government were right, it was one that ought not to be allowed to continue for 12 hours. The proposed plan was to inclose New Palace- yard ; and really the Government might have created eyesores for the purpose of making Parliament willing to giequfesce in their scheme. The west face of the clock tower ob• viously could not be left in its present state ; and in order to afford shelter for members horses the Govern tnent had put up an erection like a opal-house. It was a sort of thing that none of their lordships would give 101. to have put up for any pnrphse, or if they did they would be glad immediately to give 201. to have it pulled down. (Laughter.) The Earl of MA.LNIESBURY wished to know what chance there was of the Government commencing the re building of the Government offices in Downing-street. The -.residence of the Foreign Minister was in such condition that he could not give a party without hav ing his house shored up, and people were then in peril of their lives. In fact, the minister who, from his offi cial relations, was obliged to give soma receptions, had no house in which he c mid receive the public, Gene. rally speaking, the office was held by persons who had an adequate fortune ; but still one might be appointed who was without large private means ; and he (Lord Malmesbury) could only say that the salary was not equal to the necessary outlay which the acceptance of the office entailed. It was not every one that waisable, like the noble marquis opposite (Lord Lansdowne), to receive distinguished guests accredited to them from fo reign sovereigns—such as he was himself obliged to re ceive on the occasion of the Doke of Wellington's fune- Formerly the official residence of the foreign mi nister, though it never was very handsome, was fit for an official residence. It had, at least, kitchens and bed- rooms, which the present had not--(a laugh)—and when a person was appointed to the office, the first thing he must now do would be to hire a house, at an expense to him of not less than a thotpand a year. He agreed with the noble and learned lord in what he hal said with re spect to the engaging of extraneous buildings for the public service ; but it was not always possible to get suitable premises at the moment they were required. Still it was no doubt a great pity to see Pembroke-house, for instance, with its staircase and ceilings which money could scarcely buy, occupied by clerks and scriven6rs. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that a plan for the rebuilding of the Government offices hart been sub mitted to the other house, and it rested with them to say how far it should be arlopted. If that plan were carried out it would not only be a great public improvement, but he believed it would also be conducive to economy, by rendering it unnecessary to hire houses for the public o ffi oo s , „ (Hear.) Earl STANHOPE thought it would be desirable to adopt the Continental system of placing suitable in scriptions on statues erected to distinguished man, in stead of a bare record of the date of their birth and of their death. (Hear.) The subject then dropped. TRANSPORTATION. On the motion of Earl STANIIOPIII a select committee to inquire into the present system of secondary punish ment was appointed. Drainage [(Private Advances) Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. Smoke Nuisance Abatement Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Procedure Before Justices (Scotland) Bill passed through committee. COUNTY COURTS AMENDMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEYpresented a petition from Manchester, praying that the record court of that city should not ba exempted from the operation of this bill. The Lord CHANCELLOR said there had been peti tions from Liverpool and other places praying that:other courts might be exempted, and it was his intention to withdraw the clause. Their lordships then adjourned. Admiralty when the medals promised tcthe officers and men engaged in the. Arctic search for iir J. Frankia and hiS companions. were to be dist:ibutd ?. Sir C. WOOD said he could , not give an answer to the question. Delay had occurred in dciding the de sign for the medal. • . GUANO. • Mr. HORSFALL asked the First Lord of the Treasury if 'he could give any inform*ion as to the quantity of guano - on the islands in the Zooria - Mooria Bay, on the south-east coast of Arabia, inderstood to be ceded. to the British Crown, and what restric tions had been . placed on the rernova of it • and, whetherany exclusive right to • the gurro had been granted to any person or persons; and, ifso, the names of such persons, and the terms of s uc h .grate? Lord PALMERSTON said there was My a limited quantity of guano on those islands. Theright to take guano from them for three years bad beerrgranted to a certain company for a certain amount of Limey. CRIMEAN "MRDALS. Colonel DUNNE asked the Under Secretary for War whether certain officers and hien who atived in the Crimea subsequently to the 18th of Septetiber had re ceived decorations which they were subsequ*itly directed to give up, and the reason for thi s proceedtig _ _ Mr. F. PEEL said that 30 of the men ofthe artillery that had returned to this country, and Ito were not , in the Crimea the day after the 18th September, had been called upon to return the medals he lad given to them in mistake. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT pILL. In answer ton question from Mr, SpooNip,, ; ,* Mr. LOWE said ilt:t should proceed with be Paretner `ship Amendment Bill on Monday. SANDHURST COLLEGE. On the motion for the adjournment of the louse, Colonel NORTH asked the Under Secretary for War, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to carry into effect the recommendation of the Sand hurst Committee with respect to the establishment of the orphan class of culets at that College,t Colonel DIJNNE asked what steps had been taken in reference .to the committee's report relative to the educatim of staff officers? Mr. PEEL said the Government intended to entry out the report of the committee with reference to the cadets, but provision for the purpose must be made by the Government, al there wera no funds for it belongitg to the College. With regard to the other question, the subj -:et was under consideration. SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS. The Marquis of BLANDFO RD asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, in clnsequence of the state of health of several of the prelates of the Church, who are unhappily disabled from attending to their dioceses', it was the intention of the Government to take any steps to put in fdrce the power.; of the Act 26 Henry VIII., c. 14, "for the nomination and consecration of Suffragan; within this Realm ;" or, if ndt, whether the subject was still one which had occupied the attention of her Majesty's Government, with a view to providing a suitable re medy ? Mx. HADFIELD proposed an addition to the ques ! tion, and he felt satisfied the house would believe hire when he stated be sympathised with the noble marquis and the sufferings of the bishops. (Laughter.). He was in earnest in what he said, and he was sure the country would re-echo it if the bishops were removed from the Howe of Lords. (Laughter:) It was the most painful thing to him—(laughter)—to find that the reverend gentlemen interfered so much with tem-. poral matters, and he said they had always ob• structed the passing of every popular, and necessary measure. (Laughter.) He felt satisfied Churchmen would be pleased to see them out of that house, and the Church established would be benefitted by it. He wished to know if the subject had eneaeeed the attention of Ga vernment,and if the noble lord intended to make any alte ration in the way lie (nr. Hadfield) suggested? (Laughter.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was necessary to the interests of the Church that something should be done with reference to the inability of right rev. prelates to attend to their duties. He thought the precedent of the Indian and Colonial bishops might be beneficially ap plied to the nn g lish bishops. Mr. 0. STANLEY said that the Act 26 Henry VIII. could only be put in force at the request of the Bishop himself. He alluded to the correspondence that had lately been published with reference to him self and the Bishop of Bangor, which it was to be re gretted had been made public for the sake of the Church. That correspondence was published at the request of the Bishop, and therefore, he felt no delicacy in alluding to it, and to ask the noble lord to give some assurance that means would be taken to pre vent such a repetition of conduct on the part of the right reverend gentleman alluded to. The right reverend gen tleman he believed had been led to act us lue had from the infirmities of age, So., under which he was labouring, and it was to be regretted that a gentleman, whose mind was at one time of the highest order, and who wag a man emineatfor his charity and virtues,, should have so lost all control over his temper as to have scandalised the country with such a correspondence as that he bad published. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALHERSTON—The !natter, as mentioned, by. the Marquis of Blandford, had been for some time, and was, under the consideration of the Government, but it was a question beset with difficulties. With regard to the supplemental question of the hon. member for Shef field, he could only say that he did not at all concur with him in the opinion he expressed, that the bishops were out of place in the other house of Parliament. It did not form part of their intention to make any change in that respect. Before he sat down, he wished to express a hope that no other hon. gentleman would put a ques tion to him on that motion, as he would have no oppor tunity of replying. CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) ACT. In reply to a question from Mr. Burr, Mr. HORSMAN said the new law should be recom. mended by the Lord-Lieutenant, and sanctioned by the Treasury. He was in communication with the Trea sury, but nothing was yet finally settled. It was not in tended to renew the Crime and batrage Act of last ses sion, but a new measure had been prepared re-enacting what was necessary, and omitting the objectionable pro visions, which he hoped to be able to lay on the table in the course of the evening. THE ILLUMINATIONS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to ask a question in re ference to the approaching celebration of her Majesty's birthday. An impression had gone abroad tbat her Ma jesty's Government had given orders for a general illu mination. He believed the Government had no such power. It was believed that if people did not illuminate interested pa ties would go about breaking windows. He wished to know whether, if private persons did not illuminate, they would receive that protection for their property from the police to which they were entitled? A great number would go out to see the fireworks, and the servants would go too, and it would be very unpleasant when they returned home to find their hout,es broken into and illuminated in a way they did not expect. (" Hear," and laughter.) Sir G. GREY said there could not be the slightest doubt that the Government had no power to order a general illumination, and he had so stated in answer to several applications made to him. He believed it was now well known that it was neither wished nor expected that there should be a general illumination—that is, ge neral in the sense that every private house shall be illu minated. The police would have orders to give all the protection in their power to private property ; people would be so much engaged on that night admiring the fireworks that they would not have time for mischief. DR. SOUTHWOOD SMITH. Mr. ROEBUCK said that some time last year, after a negotiation between Dr. Southwood Smith aad the Trea-, sury, it was agred that the Dr. should receive a pension of 300/. a year. On the vote for civil contingencies for the year, there appeared a vote of 300/. compensation to Dr. Smith. He wished to know whether that was on account of the pension! Mr. WILSON said that the vote in qu e stion was t o discharge a sum of 300/. which bad been paid to Dr. Smith last year, in anticipation of his peueisn, as it was not thought fair to make him wait for 12 months. cosrA RICA AND NICARAGUA. Lord J. RUSSELL had intended to aska question of his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury, but after the intimation given he would postpone it to Monday. It was as to the authority of a letter signed E. H am . mond, which had appeared in the pap e rs, with regard to the furnishing arms to the Government of Costa Rica, and whether th a t f urn ishing of arms implied any inten tion on the part of her Majesty's Government to take part in the hostilities between Costa Rica aid Nicaragua. The motion for the adjournment was thin agreed to. OATH OF ABJURATION BILL. M. GIBSON, the house went On the motion of Mr. into committee on this bill. Clause 1. Mr. F. THESIGER moved to leave ant the words " and the assurance." This amendmert was merely introductory to a number of which le had given notice, and he thought it would be convenient to the committee if he took that opportniity of stating the object of them. When the right hot. member for Manchester introduced the bill, he statedthat he did so in consequence of several of the provisiorn of the oath of abjuration having become obsolete, and irged with great force th e ab sur dity, n ot to say irrevererne, o f d eny i ng claims that no longer bad any existence. T the right. hon. gentleman had intended to confine himself to the simple object of altering the oath in these partilulars, it might have been attained by the simple erasion of these words ' from the oath, and he would have suppcvted such a pro posal, but the right hon, gen tleman at another and a further object ; he wished to introduce Jews into Parlia ment, and for that purpose it was necessary to get rid of a second part which stood i n their wag, and to &boom plish that the right hon. gentleman iroposed to give a death-blow to the oath. This oah was the only one which recognised the Profestan; succession ac established by the . Act of Settleineat, yet the right hon. gentleman proceeded to' sweep it away from the statute-b tok. Many hon. gentismen had voted *for the second reading of the bill, O the expectation of being able to modify it to meet their views in commit tee ; such a mode of legislation appeared to him (Sir F. Thesiger) very incoevenient. His right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire, who on this subject dif fered from the majority of his party, had given notice of an amendment, which would have the effect of distin guishing the two questions, as to the propriety of abro eating one of them, and as to the more important one, the admission of the Jews. That was the proper way to treat the question; and if his (Sir F. Thesiger',) aneend mente were adopted they would first decide the propriety of omitting the obsolete part of the oath, and then come to the more important consideration, whether they. would strike out the words, " on the true faith of a Christian." The noble lord the member for the City of London, who on this occasion was doing the under work of the hon. member for Manchester, had proposed a form of words which would omit the recognition of the Proles tent succession. The noble lord formerly made his at tempts to introduce the Jews, openly and directly, but he now sought to do it indirectly and by, a side wind. The question for the committee was whether they would take that course or adopt his amendments, which would accomplish all the right hon. gentleman had origi nally proposed, and leave the other question for distinct decision. The oath of abjuration had beau in existence for IRI years. It was establiged in 1701 by the 13th William 111., and ever since maintained. There was now no reason telly it should he altered, except in the parts that had.become obsolete. Mr. M. GIBSON said that as far as he understood the hon. and learned gentleman, the ellect of his aenend meats was to strike all the abjuration oat of the oath of abjuration ; he must find some other name for it, as he would leave nothing to abjure. The course he had taken was strictly in accordance with precedents in all former acts. The custom was to repeal the existing oath and enact a new one, involving the re quired changes. It was necessary to do so, as it would be impossible to patch up an oath as proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman. He believed that the Protestant succession would be perfectly secure without any oath of abjuration, and he was confirmed in that belief by the fact that there were thousands of cases in which the law was not enforced, and the parties were indemnified by an act which was passed at the end of every session. In fact, except in the case of members of Parliament and the holders of a very few offices, the oath was not taken at all ' • and an oath which was so extensively neglected could not be a very important in gredient in the security of the Crown. He did not see how the words " nod the assurance" could be omitted, and for this reason—that the assurance, which was de• signed especially for the Scotch, contained all the words in the oath of abjuration with respect to the descendants of James. The same amount of swearing that sufficed for Englishmen would euffice for Seetchmeu. (Laughter.) With regard to the admission of Jews to Parliament and to various offices, ho contended that question did not arise under the bill. If there were no Jewish question it would still be desirable that a super fluous and absurd oath should be abolished ; and, though the removal of Jewish liabilities might be effected incidentally, that question rested' ori other grounds. Tee amendment was then negatived without a division. Sir F. THESIGER said he would not propose any more of his amendments then, but after lie had seen what shape the bill assumed in committee, he would state what course he would pursue on the third reading, Lord J. RUSSELL said he would now propose the oath of which he had given notice. He thought the hon. and learned gentleman bad exercised a wise discretion in not proposing to maintain the oath of abjuration. What he (Lord J. Russell) proposed, was to abrogate an oath which was absurd and useless, and to substitute for it one by which they would simply bind themselves to main tain the Protestant succession to the crown, as by law es tablished. In favour of retaining that part of the present oath, there was the fact that it was inserted in the Ro man Catholic oath, As he had before said, he considered that the laws which at present existed afforded sufficient security ; but he did not think Parliament ought even to appear to have weakened the present securities. It was with the view of diminishing the objections to the bill that he now proposed this clause. The noble lord then moved the following clause :—" In lieu of the Oath of Abjuration and of the assurance set forth and prescribed by the said recited act or any other act, tt e following oath shall be substituted, which shall be inti tuled An Oath for securing the Protestant Succession to the Crown as by Law established,' and shall be in deo words fullowing, that is to say A. B. do faith fully promise to maintain, support, and defend to the utmost of my power, the succession to the Crown, which succession, by an act intituled "An Act for the further limitation of the Crown, and better securing the rights and liberties of the subject,' is and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Electress and Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and the heirs of her body being Prot,-.atants. So help me God.' And every statutory enactment now in force with respect to the Oath of Abjuration or the assurance hereby abolished shall henceforth apply to the oath hereby substituted, iu the same manner as if such last-mentioned oath had been expressly mentioned or referred to in and by such statutory enactments, in stead 'of the Oath of Abjuration and the assurance hereby abolished." Mr. NAPIER. could not assent to this clause, and thought the noble lord had embarrassed the question by proposing it. He was quite willing to vote for an altera tion of the abjuration oath which would make it more consistent with modern ideas, bat he could not consent to the omission of the words "on the true faith of a Christian." By the course which he was pursuing the noble lord compelled persons who thought those words indispensable to vote for retaining the abjuration oath rather than sacrifice them. The Jewish question ought bbe dealt with separately he strongly objected to its being mixed up with the question relating to the de scendants of James. Mr, ROEBUCK believed that the opposition war, from beginning to end, a sham. Much had been said about the necess=ity of excluding infidels. Were Bolinghroke and Gibbon excluded by the words " on the true faith of a Christian ?" (Hear, hear.) Hon. members opposite, while pretending to be actuated by Christian feeling, were manifesting an unchristian desire to exclude their folio w-subsects. Mr. NEWDEGATE said, instead of the opposition to the noble lord's clause being a sham, the very object aimed at was to prevent imposition. They had come there to clear the ground, and their reason for wishing to exclude those who were not Christians was that such persons were not actuated by the principle which formed the foundation of the laws. Mr. ROEBUCK said the words " on the true faith of a Christian" were not in the oath of allegiance, which was certainly as important as the oath of abjuration. The real object of hon. gentlemen opposite being to exclude Jews, why did they not say so ? (Ironical o ppssition cheers.) If he were a Jew he would take the oath atones. (Laughter.) He would repeat the words " on the true faith of a Christian," and would add " those words have no binding force upon me." Atter he repeated the words imposed by the Act of Parliament he could not be excluded. Mr. H. DRUMMOND agreed with the lion, and learned gentleman that the opposition was a sham. A reference to former debates would show that at one pe riod the words "on the true faith of a Christian " were considered of far greater importance in the oath of allegiance than in the oath of abjuration. He wished the noble lord (Lord 3. Russel;) would direct his attention to the getting rid of the Royal Marriage Act, which was well known to have originated in personal spite on the part of George the Third to some of his sons, which ought long ago to have been repealed. Sir F. THESIGER said one reason why he and others objected to the proposal of the noble lord was that held not distinctly raise the Jewish question. As regarded the expression " sham," he must remind the hon. and learned gentleman that they (the opposition) had always declared that they objected to the admission of Jews to Parliament and had the Jewish question been distinctly brought before the house on that occasion, they would have repeated that declaration. With respect to infidels, he would remark that if one came there, and used the words " on the true faith of a Christian," no blame would attach to the house. They could not raise barriers against immoral men. (Hear.) He pledged himself, at some future stage of the bill, he would raise the Jewish question distinctly. (Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK begged the committee to observe the confession of the hon. and learned gentleman, that " they could not raise barriers against immoral men." The bar rier in question was, he supposed, maintained for the purpose of excluding moral and conscientious men. Mr. C. FORTESCUE preferred the proposal made by the noble lord in 1849 to his present one, as the effect of its adoption would have been to impose one oath upon all. Lord PALMERSTON said he should give his sup port to the motion of his noble friend (Lord J. Russell), not that he thought the intention of the act of 1701 would have the slightest effect in adding to the force of the law, for the settlement of the crown rested on a much stronger foundation than the taking of any oath of that house. Nevertheless he could not but think that as the reference to the act had heretofore been inserted in the oath it ought to be part of the engagement taken. With regard to the objections urged that this was indi rectly removing an obstacle to the introduction of Jews to Parliament, he replied that the obstacle which pre vented them from taking their seats in that house had been no less incidentally introduced. He quite concur red in the argument which had been put forward, that if these words, " on the true faith of a Christian," were necessary, they ought to be added to the other oaths as well as to the one now under consideration. The oath of allegiance was a much more important oath than was the one under consideration, and yet to that these words were not added. So far from thinking that it was an ob jection to this amendnient that it would allow Jews to take their seats there, be, considered it a reason in its favour. The hon. and learned gentleman said that the question ought to be distinctly raised. That might very well be done by himif ho wished to add to the words of this clause the disputed words, " on the true faith of a Christian." He very cordially assented to the motion of his noble friend. Mr. NAPIER thought it would be more convenient to take the discussion upon this question en the third reading. He therefore suggested that the clause should be allowed to pass. The clause was then agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL moved to insert the following clause : Every per 4u 14rziAted 1)7 tbt Paicl at of Ills late Majesty The house then resumed. POLICE (COUNTIES AND BOLLOUGHS) BILL. Upon the order of the dny tor the further considera tion of this bill, The following clauses (-moved by Sir G. GREY) were agreed to : (Provisions relating to borough police to be applicable to the police iu the places referred to in the act 3 and 4 Vic. c. 88, s ; 20, until discontinued.) Until the constables or watch men appointed in and for any parish, town, or place under the act passed in the session holden the third and fourth years of King William the Fourth, chap. 90, or under any local act authorising the appointment of constables or watchmen, and authorisiug rates to be made and levied for the purpose of defraying the expenses of such constables or watchmen, are discontinued as a separate force in manner provided by section twenty of the said act of the third and fourth years of her Majesty and by this act, all the provisions of this act ap plicable to the constables of any borough acting underthe said act of the fifth and sixth years of King William IV. shall be applicable to the constables or watchmen appointed underthe said act of the third and fourth years of King William IV., or under such local acts as aforesaid in sncLlor sawk•Etorish,. town, or place, and until such discontinuance all the provi sions of this act applicable to the Watch Committee of a bo rough shall. be applicable to the inspectors, commissioners, or other persons having the appointment of constables or watch men' in and for such parish, town, or place, and the police of such parish, town, or place, shall be visited and inquired into by the inspectors under this act; and the proiisions in this act enabling the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to make payment towards the expenses of the police of a borough having a population exceeding five thousand, shall, until such discontinuance, extend to the police of such parish, town, or place as aforesaid, having the like population. (The separate police in such places (having a population of 15,001) not to be superseded withoat the authority of the Secretary of State). Provided, that where any such parish, town, or place, baying such constables or watchmen as aforesaid contains, according to the last Parliamentary enumeration, a population of fifteen thousand persons or upwards, the chief constable of the county in which such parish, town, or place is situate, shall not give notice under the said section twenty of the said act of the third and fourth years of her Majesty, that he is ready to undertake the charge of such parish, town, or place, withoat the previous authority of one of her Ma jesty's principal secretaries of state; and notice of the in tention of the chief constable to apply to the Secretary of State for such authority shall be published by such chief constable in such parish, town, or place, in manner directed by the said section 20, respecting the publication of the no tice therein mentioned, fourteen days at least before such application is made. (Warrauts issued in one jurisdiction may be executed in another without being backed.) Any warrant for the appre hension of any person ' issued by any justice or justices of the peace in England or Wales, may be executed iu any part of England or Wales out of the jurisdiction of such justice or justices, without the same being backed or indorsed by any justice of the peace having jurisdiction in and for the place where the same is required to be executed, in the same man ner, and with tho same force and effect, as now by law pro vided in cases where such warrant is actually so backed and indorsed. Some verbal amendments were then introduced, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. ANNUITIES BILL (No. 2). This bill was read a second time. POOR LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Sir G. PECIIELL presented a number of petitions from 41 parishes in different parts of the country which are under Gilbert's Act, against the bill. Mr. BOUVERIE said that a considerable portion of the bill was to be amended, and he thought it best not to proceed with the second reading, but to discharge the carder, and introduce a new bill with the proposed amend ments. _ _ Mr. HENLEY, while thinking that course the best under the o'rcumstances, complained of want of courtesy on the part of tke right hon, gentleman in having given no notice of his intention. After some convenation on this latter point, all the hon. members who spoke agreeing that the withdrawal of the bill in its present shape was the most advisable course, the order was discharged ; a new bill was brought in by Mr. Bourerie, read a first time, and ordered to be real a second time on that day fortnight. GRAND JURY ASSESSMENT (IRELAND) BILL, The house went into committee on this bill. Clause 1 was agreed to. Oa clause 2, Sir R. FERGUSON moved to leave out the words " tolls, roads, bridges; railways, canals, gas, and water works." - • The amendment was opposed by Mr. Housuarr and Mr. FITZGERALD, and, after a short discussion, ne gatived. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. IL HAMILTON moved in• line 21, after " pound," to insert "one," and wherever it should occur that the poundage rate was to be assessed on a less amount of value, than one, it shall not be necessary to take into account any smaller amount of value than one eighth of a pound." The amendment was agreed to and the clause passed, On clause 4, Sir R. FERGUSON moved, is line 36, altar " thereof' to insert " and shall lodge the amount collected from time to time in the County Bank, to the credit of the treasurer of the county, and shall not at any time retain in his hands more than one hundred pounds, but shall lodge the same in the County Bank with all convenient speed." Dir. J. D. FITZGERALD did not see any objection to the amendment, if it were thought necessary. The words proposed were then added, and the clause was agreed to. The next clause, with a slight amendment, was like wise agreed to. An amendment proposed by Mr. H. EsmivroN, to give to the secretary to the grand jury of the county of Dublin, a special remuneration for making out the as sessment, was negatived after a brief conversation. On clause 6, 'a verbal alteration proposed by Sir R. FERGUSSON was agreed to ; after which Sir F. THESIGER proposed to insert a proviso, that a list or account of all sums to be represented, with the dates and [names, should be left with the county trea surer three weeks previous to the .assizes, open to public inspection without fee ; and that it should be competent far auy person interested to object to the re-presentment, and that the grand jury should hear his objections. Mr. J. D. FI rzGE FULD suggested that Cue" proviso should be withdrawn, and a clause to carry out the ob. jects of the hon. and learned gentleman added on the third reading. After some further consideration, Sir F. THESIGEP, adopted the suggestion, and withdrew the proviso. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 7, Sir R. FERGUSON moved to leave out the latter portion of the clause, which introduced a new principle into grand jury assessment. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said that, under the ex isting acts, charitable institutions were exempt, but the rents derived from them were charged with half the rate. The object of the clause was to enable a mesne landlord so charged to make a deduction from the head landlord. After a conversation, gin; which Mr. I. BUTT urged that. the !clause should be withdrawn altogether, the amendment was withdrawn, and Mr. Burr moved that the clause should be omitted. Mr. FITZGERALD Consented to the omission of the clause. Colonel DUNNE moved the omission of the Bth clause. The committee divided— For the clause B7 Against it Majority —l6 The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses 9 to 17, inclusive. Sir F. THESIGER moved the following clause : With reference to any sums of grand jury cess to be pre sented or re-presented after the passing of the act, it shall not be lawful to commence any proceeding for the recovery of auy sum in arrear or unpaid against auy person not pri marily liable to pay the same under or by virtue of the pre sentiment and applotmont thereof, after the expiration of two years from the date of such original presentiment, anything in this or any former act to the contrary notwithFtanding. Mr. BUTT moved that the word " three" be substi tuted for " two." The committee divided—. For the amendment 42 Against it Majority -53 The clause was agreed to. Mr. HAMILTON moved to add the following clause: In any case in which, from the extent or other circumstances of a barony, it may appear expedient to divide the same for the purpose of collection, it shall and may be lawful for the grand jury to make a presentment for the purpose of effect ing such a division setting forth in su c h presentment the parishes or townlands constituting such divisions or portions of the barony; and when such p resen t men t s h a ll b e fiated by the court the parishes or t own l an d s se t f or th th er ein shall, for all purposes belongi ng to the duties or functions of the collector, be taken t o b e se p ara t e portions of the barony; and it shall be lawful for the grand jury, if they shall think fit, to appoint one collector for every such por tion of a barony, and the coll ec t or so appo i n t e d for a portion of a barony shall be subject to all the provisions and have all the powers in force by law with regard to the collector of any barony. Mr. F. HUME moved that the chairman report pro gress, in order to get rid of this bill. This motion was negatived, and the clause agreed to. The bill was then ordered to be zeprted, and the house resumed. WEST INDIAN LOANS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and seve ral amendments were inserted, when the house resumed. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND) BILL. The order for tho fieond reading of this bill was die- Gbarged, and HOUSE 01? C MM OISTS.—(YzsTERDAy.)

NEW WRIT. On• the motion of Mr. HATTER, a new writ was ordered for Lichfield, in the room of Lord Waterpark, who hag accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. THE REFORNIERS OF THE WORLD. Mr. ROEI3IIOK presented a petition from the re formers of the world signed by Mr. Robert Owen, whom he looked upon as a well-intentioned man, praying that the views of the society might be adopted by the house and the people for hastening the arrival of the mil tennium--(laughter)—and also another equally im pertinent and silly petition from the Investi gation Society at Sheffield, complaining that "the - Plenipotentiar;es at Paris had er-ceeded their duty." (Laughter.) If that was not plain speaking he did not know what ww, but as the petitions were both respect `oily worded towards the house, he had no objection to present theM, Although he differed from both. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. Mr. T. DUNCOAIBE asked the First Lord of the [PRICE 4D. STAMPED r) D • King; William IV. to make his affirmation itistead.of the oath of abjuration and assurance shall, in lieu of the oath herebY substituted, and of the affirmation contained in the last-men tioned act, make his solemn affirmation in the following WordS, that is to say : "1, A B, being one of the people called Quakers (or oue of the persuasion of the people called Quakers, or of the United Brethren called Moravians, as the case May be), do solemnly promise that I will be true and faithful to the Euecessiou of the Crown, which succession by an act intituled 4 Au act•for the further limitation of the Crown, and the better securiu,g. of the rights and liberties of the sub ject;7 is and stands . limited to the Princess:Sophia Electress and Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and the heirs of body, being Protestants." Agreed to. Mr. MURROUGH moved for a select committee to inquire into the mode in which the persons now holding the officoa of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State have been appointed, and into the operation of the Stamp Act 55 Geo. 111., c. 104, so far as it aftect3 appoint- ments to offices and appointments under the Crowe. The CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQUER must oppose the motion of the hon. gentleman. The office of Secretary of State was conferred by the delivery of the sea's ; this doctrine had been laid down by the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in a case which was decided but a few months ago. He called the attention of the house to thkeircurnstance of the coalition Ministry, where the King idnt to Mr. Fox and Lord North, desir ing them to transmit their seals to him by their under secretary. A case was now under the consideration o the law officers of the Crown, upon which, however, no formal opinion had been expressed. Under these circum stance he a , ked the hon, member to withdraw Lis motion, The motion was withdroWn. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. Mr. NAPl.l3:CiolTt:iined leave to bring in a bill to re peal and amend certain laws and statutes relating to the University of Dublin. The bill was brought in and read a first time. Mr. KENDALL moved for the appointment of se se'eclt committee to inquiro into the law and practice with respect to the rAting of mines.—Agreed to. The house adjourned at half past one o'clock. THE SUNDAY QUESTION. Last evening a very crowded public meeting was held at St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre, for the purpose of adopt ing measures for manifesting the feelings of the people against the stoppage of the bands in the parks on Sun days. The chair was taken at 8 o'clock by Sir J. V. Shelley, M.P., who was supported by General Sir Da Lacy Evans. M.P., Sir J. Walnesley, M.P., Mr. Biggs, M.P., Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, M.P., Mr. if. J. Slack, Mr. J. B. Langley, Mr. J. Collet (late M.P.), Mr. T. D'lffanger, Mr. J. A. Nicholay, &c. The meeting was most enthusiastic during the proceed ings,-and the body of the large.hall was crowded to ex• cess. A large number of handsomely-dressed ladies were in the different galleries. The body of the hall was tilled with very respectably-attired persons. The CHAIRMAN said he should not detain them long, as he and his hon. and gallant colleague had left the House of eiHILUOW, where a question of civil and reli gious liberty was being debated, and they were anxious to return to record their votes. (Cheers.) That question was not alien from what they had met to discuss, as he thought civil and religious liberty was this—leaving a man to pursue his own course of religion according to his conscience. The opponents to the Sunday bands took up their views on religious grounds, and so did he take up his side of the question on religious grounds. Cheers.) Now, he contended that as the band played in Kenaing t m-gardens last year, there was no harm iu the bands playing in Victoria-park, which was in the reach of the working classes. (Loaf cheers.) In his opinion, it was the best thing the Government ever did to give the peo , pie healthful and pleasing recreation on the only day afforded them for leisure, and it was nothing more than hypocrisy to stop it. Tinre were 250,000 people in the parks on the last Sunday, and out of that large number there was not a single case of disorder brought before the magistrates. It was said that the music was stopped is coussquence of a letter from the Archbishop of Canter bury —(groans and disapprobation)—but, in his opinion, there was something in the background. (Cheers.) But he wanted to see the ballot introduced to put a stop to t'Aene undetworkings. (Cheers.) lie considered the Queen was also put in a very critical position, for ever since the accession of her most goacious Majesty the band had been all iwed to play on the terrace of the Castle, and was she to receive now dictation as to her relitous opinions front Exeter-hall ? (Cries of "No, no," and laud cheers.) The hon. bait. then quoted some extracts from the work pub lished by Mr. Baines, of Leeds, which elicited strong marks of disapprobation, and after some further remarks the hon. member concluded by expressing a hope that the people would assemble in the different parks on Sun day with the determination to be orderly and peaceable, and he believed that if they went with that determina tion he might say they would have the bands playing on Sunday in Hyde-park, Victoria-park, and Regent's park. (L , iud applause.) Mr. 11. J. Shack then moved the following resolu tion :—" That the performance of music in the public parks on the Sunday afternoon is calculated to promote the health, happiness, and morality of the people, is in perfect acc3rilaucs with the Christian religion, and with the habits and feelings of the great body of the people ; and this meeting views with indignation and alarm the sudden and unexpected stoppage of so useful and inno , • cent a means of popular enjoyment." In supporting this resolution Mr. Slack quoted history to show that it was not against the laws of religion to give healthful and innocent recreation to the people. Mr. CLARK, in seconding the motion observed that a sound mental and bodily condition of the people was re quisite to secure their religious welfare ; but bebelieved the Sabbatariaus had been so long shut up in their cha pels that they had lost their senses. (Cheers.) He con tended that healthful recreation was the first step to mo rality, but at the same time education was a great thing. Cheers.) In conclusion ke expressed his opinion that there wal no more harm in the band being heard is Windsor Castle or Kew•gardens than the organs in the church or cathedral. General Sir De L. •Evizte, in supporting the motion, trusted his constituents would excuse him for not hav ing been among them lately—(cheers)—but now he had returned he felt bound to be with them whenever re quired, and he thought it a most important question they had met to conceder. (Applause.) Their general duty was to attend meetings and use every argument they could in this cause; but•there was no argument needed in the case, for the Prime Miuister had, not changed his opinions—(cheers)—but the-people were un fortunate enough to have their Premier led away on this question. (Cheers.) The gallant general then congra tulated the meeting upan their unanimity. It had often been found that the most important things had arisen from the most trifling causes. Now, the people listen ing to the bands was not a very great thing, but if they were interdicted from hearing that music then it be came a great question. It had been said that this country would be made like continental countries on Sunday. Well, he had been to different parts of the continent, but he had, never seen anything but moral enjoyment. (Cheers.) But the bishops would have them stay at home and pray. (Groans.) He then referred to a discussion in the House of Commons on the question of the bishops, during which the Marquis of Blandford, their greatest champion, had said he believed many of the bishops were getting too old to do any good, and as they lied not enough to do, his lordship proposed there should be a depuq-bishop in each diocese. (Oh, oh !) In answer to those observations the Premier said the question had engaged the attention of the Government, but still he (SirDe'L.tcy Evans) thought they had too noble a Premier to care much for the proposal. (Cheers.) After some further remarks, he said ho considered the Government had not acted wisely in the matter, although fiord Palmerston said he had net changed his opinions, which was a matter of much congratulation ; and, in conclusion, expressed his support of the question they had met to discuss. (Cheers.) Mr. TARLTON then attempted to move the following amendment :—" That it is alike un-English and inexpe dient for the Government of the country to provide en joyment for the people on the Lord's-day •" but the dia• approbation was so great that the speaker retired, and after some scuffle, in consequence of a man attempting to interrupt the proceedings in a most disgraceful man ner, the original motion was put and carried enthusiasti cally, no one being found to second the amendment. • Mr. ITIFFANGER then moved the second resolution, in a brief Teach. It was to the effect that in order to give an adequate expression of the people with regard to the question of the Sunday bands, and to convince the Prime Minister of the deep interest of the public, the meeting pledged itself to give its utmost support to the committee of the National Sunday League, with a view to organise any demonstration. Mr. B. LANGLICY having seconded the motion, Mr. W. A. WILKINSON, M.P. (Lambeth), 'supported the resolution, addressing those assembled " fellow sinners," amid great cheering. He said the privileges of the people had been unjustly interfered with, and de nounced in strong terms the policy adopted by Mr. Baines, of Leeds, in conclusion expressing his opinion that the Scotch members were too prudent and cautious to coramitun act of indiscretion like that of advising the Government to stop the music. (Oh, and cheers.) Sir J. WALMSLEY, M.P., also supported the motion. Nothing was more"fallacious (he said) than the idea that theplaying of the music on Sunday would make the people work. Why, if the working man had his way, he Would 'dci much more work in the week if he knew he could have the seventh day to himself. (Hear.) In fact, there were a great number of working men who had no other opportunity of enjoying healthful . recreation with their wives and families than on the Sunday afternoon. (Loud applause.) It was said that people should go to church, but preventing their going into the parks would never send them to church. (Cheers.) There were many who never went to church at all ; but if the people were taught and properly recreated the number of persons who attended Divine worship' would increase. (Hear.) He would advise them to go to the parks, not dressed in their finery, as Mr. Baines said (great disapprobation and "Three groans for.the editor of the Leeds paper"), but in their honest dresses earned by their labour and paid for (Cheers.) Let any one go into the parks and see for him self, for he had been there himself with his w if e a nd family. (Loud cheers.) In fact he had not missed one Sun day, and instead of seeing any conduct they might blush at, he was impressed with the conviction that it was not only a rational, but a constitutional means of recreation. (Applause.) In conclusion, he said it was not the fault of the House of Commons, but of the constituencies, if the present state of things were not altered. (Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously, and a memorial to the Queen adopted. ' Thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. [A.DVERTISEMENTI—IfoIIoway's Ointment and Pills. equal to them. M rs.
