(Before Lord Camptell, Mr. Justice Wigbtman, and Mr. Justice Erie.) THE QUEEN v. PALMER. The Attorney-General moved for a rule under the law which had just passed the L•gislature, that the in dictments and injunctions charging the prisoner with wilful murder should be removed, and the prisoner be brought up from Stafford, and that he be tried at the next Session of the Central Criminal Court. LUrd Campbell said there on ht to be no delay, and the prisoner ought to have notice. The Attorney-General said that the court might rest assured that no delay would he allowed to take place. Lord Campbell—Take a rule accordingly. Mr. Grey, on the part of the prisoner, ap plied for a rule calling on the solicitors for the prosecution to furnish copies of the analytical report of Dr. Taylor as far as regarded the tests made by him for the discovery of antimony and strychnine. The learned gentleman urged that it was essential for both parties, to the public and the prisoner, that his ap plications should be granted, in order to know what means Or., Taylor had used to discover the poison he had deposed to, in order that the exact value of the jtidgment . Might be tested. The Court, after some consideration, refused the rule, on the ground that on the cross-examination of Dr. Taylor, the information sought for might be obtained. Rule refused accordingly. NIMIER ♦. BROWN. His Lordship said yesterday Mr. Whateley applied for a new trial in this case, on the ground of excessive damages. Tne cause was tried by Mr. Justice Bram well, and that learned judge had been consulted. He (Lord Campbell), after that clnsultation, was of opinion that there ought to be no new trial in the cause. HANIS v. PALLING. Mr. Whateley, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, moved in this case, by permission of the learned judge before whom the case svai tried, to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside. It was a cause to recover the amount of a re-sale of some pre mises situate in Bri , -tol, and fee farm rent. The point in dispute was that at the time of the sale there was no such fee farm rent in existence, and therefore the de fendant had a right to repu.liate the whole transaction. Lord Campbell—Take a rule to show cause. ►9TATF OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, April 15.—The excitement in the cot ton market at Liverpool, where the large quantity of 30,000 bales was sold yeeterday, followed up with large sales also this morning, has given a further impetus to yarns, and a rather extensive business is doing. Cotton is id. per lb. higher than on Friday, and spinners have attempted to realise a similar advance on yarns. Crip yarns and warps are in geed demand, at higher prices, and the advance in price has had the effect 'if bringing exporters more freely into the market. Buyers both for India and Germany have operated more freely than of late, and prices may be quoted id. to per lb. higher on these goods than on Tuesday last. In cloth prices have had to be put up, in consequence of the higher rates manufacturers are compelled to ask. LIEDS, April 15.—The attendance of buyers in the oloth-balls this morning has been rAther less than an average, and no very great amount of cloth changed hands. There is no alteration in prices, and the stocks in the halls are is very moderate compass, the new goods selling as fast as they are produced, and a consi derable amount of what may be called stock goods have met with purchasers during the past five or six weeks. The report of this day's Huddersfield market is as follows :—There has been a good attendance of buyers' and a fair business has been done in all kinds of goods, though the lowness of stocks had a tendency to limit the sales. Prices firm, with prospect of further advance. Wool well sold off. The Earl of Traquair and the Lady Louisa Stuart have taken their departu►e from Edwards's Hotel for Traquair-house, Peeblesshire. .... Led for , it will er Yes' it Spit• B.

Maley was precisely analo gous to Church Rtes in E:qz and, but the (abjection to the one that the prefes,ors of reliOon should not be called upon to contribute to the religious support ap, plied equaly to th other. Goverumeot had given their support to the proposed settlement of the one question, And he did not see how they could withhold it from this. The hon. gentleman hav , nz stated the variou. objec tions to the inea,eure, stated that when he was in Duoiiii a very large and kfliseal deputation waFeil upon him and informed him that they wi&.ed it to be conveyed to the Government that - it had been determined to resist the payment of this tax. and, - as was his duty, he zon• veyed that determination to the G.wernment. But it was not to be ' , unposed that the Government would shrink from acting up to their duty and viedicating the law. But amongst the many omissions the present act contained was one which was ex tremely difficult to • overcome. The act stated that, in cases of non-payment of the tax, the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland was to enforce payment, but the act contained no machinery to enable him to do so. As f4r as the Government could they would take steps to carry the law out on the subject, but, if these persons air rs not in a position t 3 pay, it was impossible to com pel them to do so.. The course the G.:vernineot intended to pursue was to see how far the law whi c h it.ad so lately been passed was ealcuiated to effect the object for which it was trained. When the Government had exhausted all the means to enforce the pay ment of the tax they would be disposed to give their best considemtisn to frame a measure to meet 'the evil, which would be acceptable to all parties ;• but he did hope that all further legislation would be sus pended until it was seen how the present law would work. The Government would, in the meantime, en deavour to frame a measure, which he should intrthluce in a future session, if the present law should be found inoperative. , qkbie ~:, . :0.vi~.~~~. .~.! yestent , . ) . this • .

Secretary for Ire'and. The tax was a tax upon property, and if the Government ques e tinned the title of property in church matters they would shake the very fiundation of every description of property. In respect to the law being inoperative oa the subject, he might observe that the Court of green's Bench would issue a mandamus to compel the payment of the tax. He should oppose the second reading of the bill and vote for the amendment, that the bill be read a second time that dry six neon he. Mr. FITZGERALD defended the course the Govern ment intended to folow on this quo am. the law, as far as it was possible, would be carried out. But there was a great difficulty in carrying out the law; but in this case corporations, and not individuals, were to no dealt with, and many ef the Irish corporations did not possess one atom of property. Under suele circumstances the legal proceedings would be rendered extremely difficult, but the law was carried out as far as it was possible to no so. The present law was not a property tax, but a tax on perions, and the occupation of certain houses created a certairi Mr. WHITESIDE said that the G rvernment bad admitted, during the present debate, that the law on the sdbjeet was entirely wrong, but the law had been frareed by the supporters of the present Government. The houreerable gentleman the Secretary for Ireland had promised next year he would bring in a bill to effect the settlement of this queqion, but the tenure of office by the hon. gentleman till that period was by no means so certain, as the cenfidence of the public was daily decreasing. Mr. MAGUIRE said the people of Cork had deter eitned to a man to oppose both by their perseni and property the present law with respect to ministers' money. He sail the more manly course fir the Go vernment to pursue was to fairly grapele with the subject fairly and aboveboard, and not meet it as they heel done by a long and unmeaning statement from the Secretary for Ireland. lie hit& red the house to pass this bill. and thereby de air act of justice to the people of Ireland Tre noble lord, the Prime Minister paid a high compliment to the Rosman C,,- th,lica of Ireland during the debate nigh', and wet they intendel to keep a t i ineasere ear-d -ing them ore the statiao b ink. (Divide, sivide.) Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN said the population of Lime riok were mainly again-t the provisions ,f the bill, and he should therefore vote for the sexed reading of the measure of the hon. rnembsr for Cork. Lord J. RUSSELL ttemeht the G rvernrnent would have done bweer if they had plainly stated the course they intended to pursue. He thought there were only two courses open to them, the first was to exhaust the law on tee subject in Ireland, the refiren was to adopt the plan of the hon. gentlemen the m umber fir Cork. He did not think the sum raised by this tax was worth the great contention it created, as he believer] there was sufficient means to provide for the Protestant religion in Ireland from the Protestant Church revenues without resorting to the means which the bill of the honourab'e member for Clerk pro posed to abolish. He should vote with the Govern ment on this occasion, and against the bill, but he did hope that the sulject would riot long be left in doubt, but that the Government would either enforce Sir J. Young's act, or take measures to get rid el the tax altogether, which course he was also willing to support, and thus give peace to the people of Ireland.

The Judge-Atlvocate•General said that an application had been made for them, but the answer was that there were no such returns. Lord DlCall said it was to he regretted, and he sup posed he must de his hest without, them. Sir A. Woodford said that. he believed there were such returns, but that they were in the Crimea. The evidence of S r ReAirev was then proceeded with. He was examined by Col. Tuilech. Sir R. Airey said that it was the cueton for all orders to be obeyed, and he presumed they were acted upon with reference to the disposal of the skins of dead animals. The skins of the various animals that died and were slaughtered were no doubt used in covering the hybris animals, in accordance with orders, until other materials were obtained. These skins were used all over the camp. hut whether they amounted to 3.000. the number of horses that died and were slaughtered, he could not say. 6d. per skin was paid for every horse's skin properly cured. With reference to his firmer evidence relative to the Commissioners not having obtained suffi cient infsrmation before making their report, he observed that he bad no wish to censure that report. He was examined as to matters unconnected with his depart. ment. He answered the questions relating to his de partment as fully as possible, and referred the Commis. sloners to the proper departments for answers to the others. If the Commissioners had returned to the Crimea from Constantinople, where they had gone in cen se.;uence of the cholera, they could have obtained the in• formation required from the othi r departments on the sp it. He had no idea at the time the Commissioners were in the Crimea that their duties referred to anything more than that indicated by the blue book, via., an in quiry into the corotniesariat supplies. The answers which he gave to their questions relative to his depart ment he considered sufficient and complete. The first huts from England arrival on the 16. h Dscember, and others on the 25th, and four more vessels arrived with huts before the end of that month. He was charged with their distribution, although there could be no doubt that in strictness it belonged to the cominieeariat de. partment. This was the first time regularly.built houses bad ever been supplied to an army. It was nothing more than hutting materials sent nut in a new form. At the proper time he eheuld enter fully into the duties of 'the qnartermascer-general's department. The Commie. sioeer's did not act wrong in examining his department relative to the dates of the hutting ; but he thought it would have been better had the Commissioners gone a little further and examined Captein Keen, an engineer officer, who was ten- out specially in charge of the huts. He thought without reference to his papers that L mrd Liican's statement before the board that the cavalry up to 25 . 11 of Jetaiary were not to be supplied with hut , . at that Vine, beeline they were required for the army in front, was substantially corrsct. The great pressure fir them, and the hardslopti suffered, were Principally then in front where ;he men were fighting dee and night, and Lord itoglen'e de ire was that every thing should first he done fur the sick, and then the, in fantry division in the front. He was far from thinking any blame was alribiu able to Lord Lucan, or the cavalry, for not providing shelter :or the cavalry. If there was a doubt in the Clehnissionei•s' minds on whom to throw doubt, they might aq well have cast it on one department at another. When the Cerninissioners c mellow] their inquiries he had no idea they w iultl have taken a retrospective view in order to censure any of the officers in Commend, but that it wee with a view to take ineasiiree for the future, and prevent a repetitten of what had occurred. He ceuld not reenVect a conversation between himself and the Comtnissienere as to the pro priety of examining Lord Raglan personally. By General Peel—The Commissioners never intimated e te him that aoy want of promptitude or ingenuity had been displayed in providing shelter for the cavalry. Hal they done so he could have given more specific answers to the questions ut to him, and such as would, he believer], have removed from their iniuds any such impression. By the Judge-Advocate General --The cavalry could not be removed to Keilikoi before Dec. in con.eqeence of military considerations between the allies, The French • horses were not sheltered until after those of the En , 7- fish, and not until just before be left the Crimea , . He knew one F,ench officr who lost 70 horses out of 120. By Lord Lucan—His answers to the Commissioners' questions left the Crimea after General Simpson had the command of the army, and suesequent to the Commis. simiers leaving the Crimea. Sir Richard Aire y then withdrew. Col. Gordon was , then called and examined by Col. Tuloch. He recollected being examined by the C-iiii missioners in the Crimea: He gave them no information (,f what was 'lone on the order issued at Lard Luean's request that an engineer officer should be placed at his dispoial to provide shelter. because they did riot ask for it. He gave no explanation why the ground had not been broken in the middle of December, the order al lu led to having been issued on the Bth and 12th of November, because it was not asked for. He was asked no question about hutting, and consequently he gave tIo-et no information respecting it, thinking they did not require it. Cionel Gordon then retired. Col. Tench called attention to a later th,.t had ap peared in the Tines, eigne:l by Col. York., denying th, , t the st.h Dragoons were in the Crimea at the time the C , , , ilitnig , ,ioners had stated. Cd. Yorke, of Ist Dragoons, who used crutches, wa ,, then called, and was texamined by Col. Tulloch—He sail that the doeutnent handed in was a monthly ret trn, dated Ist Oct., 1154. and signed by him, but it was m.t signed on that date. A portion of the re!i►stent was at Balaklava on the Ist, but that portion which he com manded did not arrive until the sth. That discrepancy arose from the return, although dated the let, not being made up until the end of the month. It was a return fur the month of October. General Peel—By what authority do you produce the return Colonel Yorke—By the full authority of the War office. General Peel—Will yen put in that authority ! Cobetel Yorke—l have already done so. The witness was then further examined with reference to other returns, and in addition said he had written a letter to the Times in consequence of finding it had been stated that hie regiment was in the Crimea when it was not. He had not stated in that letter anything in cantistent with the return which was kept open till his la, din , for his signature. [rhe witness then read the letter in question, which gave an account of his proceed ing with his regiment, and the loss of 124 horses in their transit across the Back Sea.] Colonel Tulloch—Then the War-office is not to sup pose that your return is cr , rrect, when it states that on the Ist of October your head-quarters was at Rtlaklava? C .1. Yorke—lt was kept open fir me under very pe• culiar circumstances because there was no other person to sign it. I was at sea at the time with the head quarters of the regiment. The President expressed the regret of the Board that Yorke should have addressed a letter to the Tines relative to these nraceedings. Cel Yorke—l did it in consequence of what had ap peared in a leading article in that journal. Col. Yorke then retind. Lord Lucan was then called and examined by Colonel Tulloch—He complained of the animadversion of the Commissioners in their report with respect to the de ficiency of forage, although he was not named. His ohject in complaining of it was to show it was incorrect, and he was prepared to substantiate that assertion. Page 20 of the Report, relative to the loss of the horses, was not an animadversion on his conduct because it made the per tentage of the loss much less than it really was. He charged " malignity" on the part of the Caminisioners, not in ref , rence to the pat titular part of their r' port, but with mzard to the total incorrectness of the figures in every thing the Commissionl-rs had stated. That part of the report, page 37, relative to the suggestion of Colonel Griffiths for providing shelter for the horses was a very seven, anonadversicn indeed, and it showed that he and other officers were deterred tram doing their duty from violence on he (Lord Lucan',) part. By the Judge Advocate-General—He believed Lord W. Paolett /Led Col. Hodge were present at the time Col Griffi±lis referred to, when he stated the conversa ti,ni pas,d between them, and the threatened arrest was .Lripvsed to have been made. By Col. Tolloch— The placing an officer under arrest might ha a riec-ary act. He 'did not cnu plain at the recial of Col Griffiths' statement in the report, but it, was!the unfair interenceswhich the commissnon had drawn from it. He was preparol to give Col, Griffiths' state ment relative t the threat of arrest in th. most positive manner—threatening to place an officer under ar rest for what Colonel Griffiths complained of was likely to deter others from making similar ,oggestions, but he denied that he had male such a threat. He (Lord Lucau) complained of the Commi-- sioners receiving, as a JaA, the statement of an ollicer, when they had an opportunity of examining other wit nesses as to its truth. He conceived the charge of wait of promptitude and ingenuity," displayed in providing shelter, applied to him and cot to Lord Raglan. It might have applied to Lord Raglan, and if it ' , salt meant to apply to him, he (Lord Lucan) had to complain of the C nissioners not putting the matter in a cleirer form in their report.. He was not prepared to say there was any want of promptitude or ingenuity in devising shelter di-pin,yed by the Quarterinaster.General. He did not admit there was any want of promptitude or ingenuity displayed by any one. Cul. Tulloch said that his object in examining Lord Lucan on this point was to show that the Commissioners had no intention of implying, by the paragraph in ques tion, want of promptitude, kc, to any particular officer, and that Lord Lucan had no right to complain of it, and called on him to say how he assumed it applied to him, when it might equal . ) , apply to all officers in command and heads of deppat&mte,. I.,s,ALocan said he could only infer that it did from his having the command of the heavy brigade, and that it was Ills duty t•) do the best he could for his men and hrir,e4. The Board then adjonrnsd for a short period. On their re-lssembling tae evidence of Lor I Lucan was pro ceeded with. He said it would be nn animadversion on him if it was meant to apply to Lord Raglan and officers superior to witness, but it certainly was if it applied to the officers under [,3rd Raglan, non-commksioned officers, or man It was impossible to read that part of the report now alluded to without believing that it was a serious ani madversion on the cavalry, an I as such it bad been con sidered universally by the public. In reply to a question from C ii. Tulloch whether that portion of the report which stated but one-fifth of the number of men only were employed in taking down the sick and bringing up provisions was an a itiadversion, his lordship sail he supposed it meant that but one-fifth of the men were so employed, and that lon r•fift Ili were disposable for forwarding sheltei, whereas the real fact was that but a few men were available for he work, and in many regiments there were no men avail ,ble for it. C .1,11,11 TuHoch proposed to refer to certain returns Made by Colonel Hodge and Colonel Mayor? c.t the available men. _ _ . Lord Luoan said that he was prepared to show that ht,e r turns were incorrect. . . Lord Luc4n—lt was hardly to be expected that he c,uld now produce accurate returns of the available roeu sod bores for this wink. •-•-- Col. Tulloch was proceeding to examine Lord Lucan relative to the disposition evinced by the Cemmiseionere in their report not to state anything dero gatory to the cavalry which they believed the evidence did not warrant, on which Lord Lucan said, that if the object of this examination ,vas to explain away his charge of "malignity" againei, the Commissioners, he expressed his regret at having said anything of the kind. He was led to say so from tile extraordinary ambiguity they had indulged in, in drievin e up the report, and the errors in the returns. He did not incurs to say that the Commissioners were aeswerable f r any false returns that might have been furnishe I to them, but he thought they had applied to the wrong officer for them, and that they had neglected sources from which they might have had it. His correspondence would show that these returns were incorrect. Colonel Tulloch then asked for returns to be pro duced showing the actual number of available men and horses for this work (Wring the period named in the Commissioners' report. General Peel—To whom are we to apply for these returns ? Col. Tulloch—l presume they can be had from the Crimea. Lord Lucan—l doubt if then that the returns will be found to be accurate. His lordship then propeeded to point out what he consitierel the incorrect statements of the report relative to the non-erection of huts before the midile of Jan., the distance of the stores from the camp, &c. He said that long before that period many huts had been erected and used as hoe pi tale, notwithstanding many of his officers stated the contrary with regard to the hospital huts, in the evidence before the Comm;hmionev, and he rstel an order of his, dated 27!1:1 January, wherein it wa., stated that the hospital huts were c ompleted by that time. He withdrew much of his objection to tl at part of the report tints it bat been stated that the Want of shelter at this period related wore to the hutting of the men than the horses. By the marginal note in the report it had reference to the horses. Col. marginal note was not authorised by the Commiesionere. It was a mistake on the part of the printer. Lore Lucan, in continuation of his evidence, sail that he corn,idered the inquiry of the Commissioners las t have been confined to the Commissariat supplies, and that they very much exceeded their duty in going beyend i t . He thought the Co , nrnissioners had nothing to de with what had passed between himself and Col. Griffiths. The Judge-Advocate-General—Colonel Tulloch, wll you point out in your instt uctione the passage that pre eu'leil you from inquiring into the conduct of any C Tuloch —I consider ther3 is nothing in them that would justify our inquiry into the conduct of any officer. Gen. Peel—You considered that the Government w 0 , 11 ,1 n have acted on your report without further inquiry I U Tulloch—Yes. Gen. Peel—Do you consider that inquiry should have been made before your report was published ! Col. Tulloch-1 can't answer that. Col. Tulloco to Lord Lucan—Do you not know that her Majesty'., Government have expressed their approval of !his r-port, and do you still consider that the Com niii.lot,ors exceeded their duty ! L. rd Lucan—l cAn know nothing of any approbation or d Aapprobation of it by the Government. If they have ex , re , ed their approoation of it, I think they have done it inconsiderately and hastily.

GRA.VESEND IMPROVEMENT BILL. .IthfimotiTin of Mr. BROTHERTON this bill wa ord ,re+l to be rpemnrnitteil. Mr. E. BALL presented n petition signed by 291 shareholders in the Eastern C•moties Railway, repre senting capital to the arn , unt of 341.0001 in that un dertikinz, prayi•g the house not to sa , ,ction the passiog a bill for the purpose of raising illegal loans, and extending the capital of the company by an addition to it of three-onart.rs of a The SPEAKER said the petition was informal, as it related to a private bill. Tne petition was consequently withdrawn. JUSTICE 3 OF THE PEACE QUALIFICATION BILL The house then went int , ) co-tonittee on this bill. The preamble and clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. 0.1 clanste 3, Mr. HOE'S NIAN moved to leave out the words "ex tend odly to E !i.fl.ind and Wales," and insert "not ex tend t 4 Scotland." Alter a short discussion, the amendment was agreed Clau , e• 4,5, and G were then agreed to. clau-e 7, Mr. CHILD moved an amendment to this clause, at line 10, to leave out the words " England and Wales," and insert "such county, riling, or division." Mr. LLOYD D.A.VIES cons►dered, if this amend ment were adopted, three-fourths of the magistrates would lip disqualified. Mr. COLVILLE hoped the house would resist the aniendtnent. No practical inconvenience would arise from the clause as it now stood. Mr. VANSITTART thought that if land to the amount of 1001. would qualify for a justice of the peace, the same should extend to &lotland avid Ireland. Mr. BAINES thought , that the amendment of the hon. gentleman would produce great inconvenience. After a short discussion, Mr. CHILD said as the amendment appeared to be con.idered an innovation of the law he would with draw it. Mr, HORSMAN then moved that, in line 6, after " Wales," to in,ert "or within Ireland, as the case way be." Sir E. DERING moved t insert, instead of the word " Ireland," the words'` Uni ed Kineten." M r.l-10 RSM AN said he had prepared an ameedment, which he intended to move, namely, that laud in Ire land should not (ratify for a ma g istrate in England ; and, on the other hand, land in England should not qualify for the Iri-li magietracy. C A DUNNE said the observations of the Chief Seero.ary were rather peculiar. For instance, 300 d. in the Tille..rary Bank—(iaughter)—would be a sufficient quilificedon, but 3001. in Ttpperary itself would not be considered eutficieet qoalifica ioo. (Laughter.) Alter a shot discussion the amend,nent was agreed to. An amendment was then moved that the leasehold qualification for the magistracy should be 18 years, as the number of years that at present stood in the bill (30 years) would not meet the case of Ireland. Mr. STAFFORD thought it better that the bill should be confined to England, and a bill for Ireland should be brought in. Sir R. FERGUSSON said he thought the hill would disqualify a great number of very useful persons in Ireland. Mr. HORSiIAN said the bill would only di-qualify those persons in Ireland as well as in Englaod who were not entitled to act as a magistrate. Sir J. TItOLLOPE SlAil he thought they were losing a great deal of very valuable time in discussing this point. , Us thought it better to abolish the qualification for the mazistrecy altog , ther rather than retain one that was inefficient for the purpose. Mr. DE VERE said the bill would not disqualify anybody. It was prospective, and not retroepective.. Mr. HENLEY said he thought the present discussion sho Ned the incenveni mce of allowing a measure of such importance as the present being introduced by a private member. He thought, under all circumstances, it ' would be best to ex stele Ireland from the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government was not responsible for the bill, and referred the hen. gentleman who had charge of the bill to his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) opinion that the bill would have a retrospective eff t. After a few worls from Mr. COLVILE, VERNON said that the effect of the bill ap peared to be involved in such doubt that he should move that the Chairman rep..rt progress. The committee then divided, when there appeared- Ayes Noes Majerty —4l Mr. FITZROY then lett the chair and the house re sumed. MINISTERS MONEY (IRELAND). Mr. FAGAN moved the second reading of the bill. Mr. HANIILTON moved that this bill be read a second time that day six months. The otject of the bill of the hoe. member for Cork wa g wholly to abolish minister,' money in Ireland, which he considered a great grievance. Now, he contended that all that could be called a grievance was remedied by a bill w hi c h was introduced into the house about twe years ago by Sir J. Young, the then Chief Secretary for Ireland, And there fore the present bill was perfectly unnecessary. Tile tax was a charge up in property. and therefore ceu!d not he considered a grievance. He hoped her Majesty's Government would support him in the proposition he had felt it his duty to make. • Mr MEAGIIER could not understand the assertion that the tax of ministers' tutiney was a tax upon pro per'y. A great deal of the house property in Ireland nail been built since the tax was first imposed. Mr. A. BLACK said he was acquainted with this tax' experimentally. Tee au uuitt tax i n S co tl an d was pre steely similar to the tax of ministers' money in Ireland. It was n tt fair to the Dissenters to compel them to con tribute to the support of the ministers of other denomi nations. He, as a Dissenter, paid towards the support did no t t hi n k it was f a i r of his own minister, anti he between man and nian that he shouid be called upon to pay towards the stipends of the religious teachers of other Mt:11. The tax be was speaking of the Scotch annuity ta,z was with very great dif ficulty collected. He had known a magistrate sent to jail for the nen-payment of the impost, and he had also seen the Drazoons parading the streets of Elin bureh whilst the tables and chairs of the people, which hat been seized f r non-payment of the tax, were being stild. He considered the tax a most cruel and unjust one, an,l he should therefore vote for the second reading of the bill. Mr. MULL h , pod that, after the vote that had been come to last night, the Government would, as a solace t ► the Retuan Catholics of Ireland, vote for the second reading of the bill. NEW INICE ABER. The SPEAKER here intima•ed that a new member was to be sworn. Mr. J. D. FineEftatia, the newly appointed Attor , ney-General for Ireland. Was than introduced, and took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Ennis. The debate was then resumed by Lord BERNARD, who opposed the bill. Mr HORSMAN said this was a question of reticle' • 'difficulty and embarrassment, and it was one that ought to be settledin some decided manner.

It was sunsequently printed, which, I believe, also shows it was approved of, and then laid on the table of the House of Commons. Lord Lucan thee proceeded with his evidence, and in answer to other questions from Col. Tu;loch said, that be considered it was equally- the duty of the Quarter. master-General as well as the Commander-in-Chief to provide shelter for the horses, whether in villages or is the field—if he could get it. It, was itnpsaible to say that the want of promptitude and ingenuity applied to the Quartertnastrr-G-lener a l. He might have done his duty and yet sufficient shelter could not have been pro. cured. He attributed the loss of horses mainly to the commissariat transport duties rather than to the want of shelter, and under such circumstances no promptitude on earth could have saved them, Col. Tulloch then informed Lord Lucan be had no further questions to put to him, and his Lordship rte tired. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow, when Col. Potting , r will he ermined by Col. Tullocb. The Earl of Cardigan was present for the first time to-day, during a partion of the day's proceedings, and whilst Lord Lucan was under examination by Colonel Tulloch. SPORTING NOTES. SOMETHING SHORT. I may begin my communication, in the Rosa-Matilda , ityle, by saying I have nothing new to tell. Things are dull enough at Head-Quarter?, and the only incident which has created temporary excitement has been the defeat of Cannobie for the Burwell by Saraband, and the dispute which the race subsequently occasioned. My opinion on the subject must be reserved until after the stewards have produced their fiat. This much, how. ever, I have no hesitation in stating : Cannobie ought not only to have won, but to have won easily. Indeed, as he was appeoaching the cords, I thought he would have come in alone. Before the race 6,000 to 2,000 wale offered against him for the Derby, the bet not being valid unless he won by two clear lengths ! Ghika was strongly supported at the last moment, and was cer tainly quite as good a favourite as Cock of the North. Tee Starter and the Jockeys are still at loggerhead., and " Argus" has, I see,' thrown in the weight of his opinion against the former. He is somewhat hard upon Mr. Hibburd—for, as good Sir Roger de Coverley would say, much may be said on both sides. While masters give peremptory orders to their lads either to get off or stay behind at all hazards, the starter will always be openly defied. - The; opinion which I expressed on Monday, relative to the Newmarket Handicap, I have no wish to alter. To the animals which I then mentioned as being likely to punish the winner I would add Jolly Marine, whom the " talent" here regard as a veritable "goad thing." A FRESH MAN. Newmarket, Tuesday night. THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE. MONTHLY REPORT. At the monthly general meeting- of the members, held on Fri.lay, April 4, at the Lancaster-hon4e, Adelphi ; Mr. W. Dathii in the chair. Tue following report wits unanimously adopted : " Tour committee have to announce the receipt of the following subicriptions during the month, viz., Miss Doused]; 1/. ; J. F. Clark. Esq., 2 . 2s. ; R. W Mackey, Esq.. 5/. ; F. T., per Sir Wm. Denville, Bart., ; and Octavius Henry Smith, Esq., 101. " The committee beg to congratulate their fellow mem bers upon the result of their first great public demonstra tion. Convinced that no movement, for a popular purpose can sustain itself which has net stood the test of publicly. expressed opinion, an , l b dieving that the Nation ed Sunday Leagto had so far arrestei attention as to claim 'further inquiry, the committee res.tived on the adc,ptiott of the final step for the establishment an 1 recognition, by calling au essentially public meeting iu a central situation for the purpose of eliciting public opinion on the propriety of opening .he British Museum, Nati 'nal Gallelr, Crystal Pelee-, and similar institutions on Sunday afternoons. "The meeting, thus convened and fully advertised, was held on Monday, Match loth, at St. Martin's-hall, Long acre ; Sir J. T. Shelley it. the chair. The details of the meeting are already before the public, and the cotnmittee confine themselves in this report to the wording of the re soletions, and to some chief points of the proceedings." Resolution I—moved by Mr. J George and seconded by Mr. Ireson—' That this meeting, gratefully acknow ledging the teligious and temporal obligations of the Sun day a- a day of test, devotion, and innocent enjoyment, is earnestly desirous for the preservation of these its essen tial characteristics ; that it views with deep concern the increasing stringent regulations with which organised bo,lies in this country are eudeeveuring to shackle the country, and is res rived to defend to the utmost the right of the people to the free and rational employment of that day.' " Resolution 2—moved by Mr. Purfitt and seconded by Robinson—' That the National Sunday League, in its endeavours to promote the opening of the British Museam, National Gallery, Crystal Palace, and similar institutions; on the Sentlay afternoons, is eminently worthy of the sup port of the people; anti that a petition based on this reso lution be presented to Parliament.' Resolution 3.—Moved by Mr. Kenny and seconded by Mr. 'luny, 'That the couduct of the minority of the Ilona' of Commons, who in the face of intimidation and the prospect of inevitable defeat, but supported by their deep sense of duty and conscientious conviction% voted for the motion of Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P., for opening the National Institutions on Sunday, is deserving of the admi ration and deep gratitude of all lovers of civil and religions liberty.' " These resolutions were Carried with scarcely a dissen tient voice in an assemblage of more than 3,000 persons. " Two amendments were proposed, but met with so little sympathy from the meeting that they only deserve bare mention. Sir Joshua Walmsley and Sir J. Shelley re plied on behalf of the minority, and the proceedings tenni. nated by a vote of thanks to the chair, proposed by Mr. Black, seconded by Laurence Heywortk, Esq., M.P., and carried by acclamation. " A public meeting was called by the Causden-town March Committee on Monday, March 31st, at Camden hall, King-street, Camden-town, and was decidedly see cessful. P. Graham, Esq., pfesidfid, and resolutions in support of the objects of the League were ably advocated by Messrs. Lurley, Clements, O'Neil, &o. A.namendmenli proposed by Mr. Linlost, and seconded by Mr. North, was only feebly supported, and the original resolutions were carried by large majorities in a crowded assembly. " An important meeting was also held in tit. George's. hall, in the borough, by friends to the movement, and was almost unanimous in its expression of opinion upon the necessity of Sunday enfranchit-ernent. " Your committee cannot pass over in silence the open ing of the Crystal Palace on the afternoon of last Good Friday. The fact that neatly 18,000 persons were there collected in a few hours is sufficient proof of the desire' of the public to proit by such advantages; and the order and propriety of their cod Net showed how well they deserved them. It is hoped this is hut an augury of the advent of that Sunday opening of which they are so desirous, when the recreation there offered may be enjoyed with more pro. prietv than on so solemn an anniversary. " The committee have much pleasure In announcing that, in addition to the papers already published and on sale, viz., The Sunday Question from the Jewish Chronicle,' ' The Wotkinan's Sunday,' and ' Sunday and the So bath,' by the Paster of Ivrorne, they have commenced the publication of a series of tracts having especial refe rence to the objects of the League, of which the following are now ready for issuer—No. 1. Declaration of the Com mittee. No. 2. Speeches in favour of Sir Joshua Walas ley's Motion. No. 3. Lord Stanley's Speech ea the Sun day Question. " During the month some earnest friends have also printed and largely distributed several pnblieations at their own expense, and continue to do so. Other tracts will fol. law on the pirt of the committee, which will render the influence and action of the League store eontiaueze, and, it is hoped, effective. " WILLIAM DIITHII, " Chairman of th• Central Committee." SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The trunk line of the South Wales Railway from Haverfordwettt, through Johnstone to Nelanel, was for mally opened for traffic on Tuesday (yesttrday) morn ing.. Novland is situated on the north-eastern shcre of Milford Haven, immediately opposite the large royal building arsenal at Pembroke, four miles from the little town of Milford, and about eight from Haverfordwest. It is the terminus of the South Wales Railway, which, j o i n i ng the Great Western line at Gloucester, now form a direct railway communication between the metropolis and our western shores. No public demonstration was male upon the occasion, the station at present erected at Neyland being merely temporary, and unadapted for any purposes of festivity or display. Milford Haven undoubtedly possesses immense natural advantages, and it remains only for art to construct proper wharree and docks to secure for it the position of one of the most important export ports in the king dom. It is easy of access for the largest vessel in any state of the tide. It is almost land-locked, and has s core anch rage for an empire. It will prove extremely economical and convenient for the coaling of ocean steamers, and will, no doubt, export large quantities of the Pembrokt shire anthracite coal now held in high estimation. Vessels have already shipped to Aus tralia iron which bail been brought hither by the railway from the Welsh ruining districts, and it is anticipated, from its being 24 hours nearer America than ,Liverpool, free from heavy due., and now in direct communication with the great mercantile districts, that this magnificent but long-neglected haven will speedily attain tke com mercial importance which its natural advantaged seem to demand for it. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT IX lITDR-rARE.—On Senday afternoon, whilst the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor WAS walking along the banks of the Serpentine, a child play ing on the bank with a dog unfortunately fell into the water. A young gentleman who was passing at the time instantly plunged in and rescued it,• and it was cog veyed to the Rsiyal Humane Society's receiving-house. A mob soon assembled round the young man , an d amo n g them the Lord Mayor, who asked the name of the courageous youth, which he declined to give,'and walked away in his wet clothes. His lordship ordered the in. cident to be e ntered on the society's books, so that the young man may receive a medal it he should wish for it. FUNERAL OF - M.R.S.
