In the House of Lords last evening, The Earl of DERBY moved that the papers laid be fore the 13,use during the present and last session re specting the representative institutions granted to the Cape be referred to a Selee , Committee. The Noble Earl, although he censured the course which had been. pursued by the Colonial Secretary, denied that be was actuated by party or personal hostility in bringing for ward this motion; his only object being to aid the Go vernment in escaping from a great difficulty by legis- lation. Earl GREY defended the policy which the Govern ment had pursued at the Cape of Good Hope, de precated any attempt at interference on the part of eurliament es calculated to weaken the authority of the Crown in the colony, and &Oar. d that it was impos sible to imagine what could have induced the Noble Earl to bring tereard such a motion, except a desire to secure a party toornr , h. Toe Furl ni MALSIESBURY and Lord LYNDHURST supported ih • m-eion, ,vetch was ot'p seed by Lord CRANwoRTH awl the LORD CHANCELLOR.

Tat, Duke of NEWCASTLE would abstain from support ing the motion it h ,, tnought it involved a vote of cen sure on the Government. The E trl of DERBY r , plied, and The House divided—Contents, 68; non-contents, 74 ; maj ,, ri y in favour of Ministers, 6. In the House of Commons, at the morning sitting, The Harwich Election Committee reported that Mr. It. W. CRAWFoRD had not been duly elected, and that the last election tor that borough was a void election. Tee House was occupied in Committee with the , etail of the Couety Courts further Extension Bill during the whole sitting. At the evening sitting, Mr. EwART moved certain resolutions, the objects of which were to reduce the Lumber of Members and im prove the composition of Select (public) Committees of the House, and to prescribe three instead of five as a sut cient quorum of Members for a Select Committee. The motion was, after a short debate, withdrawn, upon an intimation from Lord J. RusseLL that he would not oppose the appointment of a Select Committee next ses sion to consider the subject. Lord NAAS moved a resolution, pledging the House to rt solve itself into a Committee on a future day to consider the present state of the milling interest in Ire land. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the effect of agreeing to the motion would be to revive the corn-laws; fur Eng lish millers would demand the same protection that was given to Irish millers, and the protection that was given to the millers could not be refused to the tarmers. Mr. J. STUART and Mr. ANSTEY supported the mo tion, which was opposed by Mr. ROCHE. Mr. NEWDEGATE, in supporting the motion, made an attack upon the principles of free trade generally, and was replied to by Mr. J. WILSON. Colonel DUNNE would have every interest in Ireland protected. Lord NAAS having replied, the House divided, when the motion was negatived by 128 against 93. Certain Bills were advanced a stage, and the other orders being di-posed of, the House adjourned at a Q.larter to One o'cl, ck. Majorities have latterly become so scarce with her MAJESTY'S Ministers, that even the trivial one of six, obtained last evening in the House of Lords, is really to them a matter of serious congratulation. It will be observed from the discussion provoked upon this occasion by the Earl of DERBY'S motion condemna tory of the policy of the Colonial Secretary, that against the almost despairing weakness of the Cabinet was brought to bear all the spite, the virulence, and the audacity of a resolute and factious Opie sitiou. These considerations should not be over looked by the people, if it is desiredlthat justice should be done by them to the latest and not least remark able of the few triumphs achieved by the Govern ment. In the instance Apecified it was the unpopular head of the Colonial Department of the Administra tio❑ bgainst whom the whole fury of the attack was directed. Coustquently the danger impending over Ministers was proportiona!aly greater than that formerly originating in the attack upon the popular chieftain of the Furtign Department, as the Earl GRLY'S diminutive corps of supporters is eclipsed by the " troops of friends" ever attendant in such emergencies on Viscount PALMERSTON. Added to the violent hostility evinced throughout last night's deb.ite by the Earl of DERBY, the originator of the discussion, was the deliberate enmity of Lord LYND.• BURST ; the indirect support accorded to the argue ne-nts of both those Peers by the Duke of NEW CASTLE ; and the earnest encouragement of the assault by the Earl of MALMESBURY. Mean while it must be rememb( red that Lord Caaewoatet insisted strongly upon the legality of Earl GREY'S proceedings as Colo• nial Secretary; that this opinion was, moreover, most cordially coincided in by the LORD CHANCELLOR himself ; that the Duke of ARGYLL objected to the motion as to one altogether without signification; and that it was with equal emphasis deprecated as ill timed by Lord NV HA ItNCLIFFE. Such were the Peers who participated in the discussion of yesterday, besides the Noble Statesman who himself endea voured to ward off the deadly blows of his antago nists by a maturely-considered and explicit counter statement. From the arguments ad vanced upon both sides it may be perceived what is really the situation of affairs in the Cape Colony, and how far the head of the Colonial Depart ment of the Government is responsible for the diffi culties which have stood in the way of establishing representative institutions in that quarter of our trans-marine possessions. Every feature of the sub ject was yesterday closely examined into by the one or other of the different speakers. So that no doubt can any longer remain in the public mind upon the position of political matters in Cape Tow❑ after last night's debate in the Upper House of the Imperia: 14, gi- lafure. Referring to the convict question, to the secession of the four councillors, to the acceptance of their with• drawals by the Governor, and to the dispatches of the Colonial Secretary, the Earl of DERBY contrived to make out a very plausible case against her MAJESTY'S Government—plausible, we mean, to all those indivi duals who have not scrupulously exatnin,:d into the rights of the matter themselves. Legoinuch was this the case, that we find some among our contemporaries designating the speech of the Noble Lord as one cha raccerised by its exceeding fairness, although in reality than it no Inure party speech was ever delivered within the wails of the British Parliament. Other wise than for factious purposes—otherwise than to further the cause of the Opposition—otherwise than to encourage the hopes and foster the interests of the various aspirants for the good things of office, the motion of the Earl of DERBY cannot but be regarded US altogether idle and objectless—as was, indeed, observed pleasingly enough in the very ten- Bible commentar i es uttere d b y hi s G race t h e Duke of ARGYLL. According to the opinion of the last-mentioned Peer, such a motion as the one intro duced by the Earl of DERBY wes calculated not merely to impair the authority of the Crown in the colony, but mu st , if carried, necessitate the addition of two or three months to the session for the purpose of enabling Parliament to supply the Cape with alt o ter constitution. Recognising and appreciating these things, it is impossibl e not to regard both the s peech and the motion of the Noble Earl the leader of the Protectionists as of a most factious and disin genuous character. !therefore it is that we rejoice the more cordially in the success obtained by her MAJESTY'S Ministers over their antagonists, a success the more deserved from the integrity of the policy pursued, in this inslance, throughout by the N o w, Lord the Principal Secretary in the Colonial Depart ment. His defence, last evt.-ning, of his own adminis tration, in regard to the Cape colonists, must be re garded as, perhaps, the most bfillisnt evidence of his abilities yet afforded since the formation of the plc sent Government. le cab.extortinn nuisance continues to flourish, we apprehend, in comprehensive and vigorous vitality. It was only the other day that the Chief COMMIS.. sioner of the Metropolitan Police, Mr. MAYNE him self, had to summon an unjust Jehu before the ma gisterial tribunal; and the columns of the daily prints a re perpetually furnishing instances of the tyrannous exactions of CAbdorn on the street travelling Cote• munity. We have known ourselves where, on a very recent occasion, a party was refu=frd to he conveyed from Sloane-square to the foot of Westminster-bridge, on the Surrey side, for a less fare than three shil lings, being one shilling more than the fare from Chelsea Hospital to the Waterloo Station, as given, of course correctly according, to admeasurement, in the tables published by the South-Western :Railway. We may be sure that the cases of overcharge which meet the public eye constitute a very small portion of the " highway robberies" which actually occur. Between unwillingness, on the part of some, to lose time in taking out a summons and appearing against a delinquent, and timidity on that of others, who cower before the thundercloud of charioteering slang, ever prompt to burst in volleys on the head of him or her who recalcitrates against " bleeding freely," these pests of the metropolis, nine times out of ten, get off scot free with the spoils of their audacity, laughing the unhappy grumbler to scorn. If the piratical lord of the whip have a smat tering of classic lore, he may with much self•com placency apply to himself the flittering unction which the miser in Horacq layeth to his soul, "Populus me sibtint, at mihi plaudn, Ipse domi, bimul ac nummos cuntemplor in lasi" Sh“uld any yokel take it into his head, that in a city enjoying such a large and efficient police as the capital undoubtedly does, he will be taken per cab any aistance required, with an adherence to the printed tariff of fares, let him, at the end of his ride, tender ti,e precise amount, or hold out some larger coin in the expectation of the accurate balance being handed over, which, not forthcoming, he may gently hint at a rightful settlement of accounts ; and if NEMESIS does not descend upon him in the form of a shower of courteous and complimentary expressions, he must assuredly have fallen upon a phenomenon among the fraternity. We have seen several suggestions promulgated on this sutject, especially in the columns of a morning contemporary, who gave two or three powerful hits at the system ; but the iniquity is too compact and mighty to be overthrown by desultory attacks. One remedy might, in our opinion, be ap plied with a considerable degree of advantage, and that is an alteration of the existing fares. Who ever dreams of offering " eightpence - ," or " one-and fourpence," or such fractional parts of " the whole hog ?" Let the fare be simply at the rate of sixpence a mile, throwing half miles altogether out of account. Many a person wishing to ride a mile would wil lingly take a sixpenny worth where he is now unwil ling to spend a shilling for the purpose. The present shilling fare would be, under this sy stem, a shilling still ; one-and fourpence would be superseded by a shilling; one. and- eigbtpence and two shillings by one and sixpence ; two-and-fourpence aid two-and-eight pence by two shillings, and so on. Mode rate fares, paid thus in what we term round sums, would increase the number of cab-patronizers very considerably, and we firmly be lieve prove in the long run a source of increased emo• lumeut to the proprietors and drivers themselves. We would not have a man compelled to overweight bis vehicle, or anything like it. The above proposition does not go beyond the freight of a cargo of two adults and a child on the knee. Any additional in dividual ought to be charged extra, say at the rate of sixpence not exceeding two miles, and a shilling if above that distance. Moreover, as those who love "to fly by night," when other people are in their quiet beds, should bethink them that night-work constitutes a large ingredient in the wear and tear of man and horse, let midnight revellers, even as many of them are prone to see double, be taken as counting double, and a double fare be charge able between twelve at night and five or six o'clock in the morning. If some such sort of regulations as these we have thrown out were uniformly adopted, and strictly enforced on the terminal cabstands at Euston-square, King's-cross, Shoreditch, London bridge, Waterloo-road, and Paddington, by the several railway companies, the root of the present crying evil of overcharge would be struck at, and a substantial convenience and comfort rendered to the community. THE A DELPHL—MISS Wfinl gar Will take her bene fit at the Adelphi to-night (Wednesday ). The pieces se ected are such as will thoroughly display the great vesatility of her talent. In Holcrott'a Road to Ruin she will represent the artless Sophia ; she will be the simple Tom Crop in the School for Tigers. and she will shine forth as the audacious daring young lover iu the operetta of Good Night, Signor Pautalon. PLAIS.—In drawing attention to Mr. Aliicheli's benefit, announced fur his evening, we glacly avail ourselves of the occasion to bear testimony to the h gh claims which that gentleman has to the support of the pub lic, tor whose amusement be has fur many years catered with a degree of .pirit and liberality which must rather have as. vanced his tame than his interests. The bil is a must at• tractive on., and consists of Les Horuces, a little one-act piece b, Pons.rd. which has had great success in Paris, celled Horace et Lydie and II fuut qu'une Porte soft Ouverte ou Ferolee.-1 Imes. VAUXHALL.—The gardens of Vauxhall were yes terday devoted to the benevolent purpose of aiding the funds tor the relief of the suffers by famine in the Western High lands and Islands of Scotland. The fate was under the patronage of the Highland Society of London, and the ar rangements were made hy Mr. Wardell, proprietor of the place. Everything was satisfactory. During the day Highland pipers, Highland dancers, and Highland athletes contended in their respective vocations for prizes, and af fOided c nsidersble amusement. The boys and girls of the Royal Caledonian As) lum sere present, and the juvenile band pl yed many national tunes in the best style. Iu ad dition to these attractions, the usual entertainments in the circus and other parts of the gardens were di-played. The appearance of the grounds was altogether gratit)ing, and the number of the company assembled promis d an increase to the funds, which cannot tail of b e i n g acceptabl e . Th e younger visitors enjoyed the various sights with great satis fact.uu• BALL IN AID OF THE WARD SCHOOLS AND ISPENSA RIES 07 TIIZ CITY OF LONDON.—The ball in aid of the funds of the Ward 6cliouls and Dispensaries of the city of London takes place this evening at the Guildhall, which will be fitted up precisely as it was on the occasion of her ilajesty's visit. W e cannot doubt but that the ball will be a very crowded one, for, independently of the e , 'cellence of its object, there can be no doubt but the many who were unable to get a glimp,eof the fittin gs up an d d ecorat i ons on the occasion ~f her .Majesty's visit will eagerly embrace this opportunity of gratifying their curiosity.

THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMITTEE. Yesterday this Committee, Sir James Graham in the chair, met for about its 15th time. Dr. Challis, Mr. Day, brewer, 13trinondsey ; Mr. J. L Tabberner, and Mr. Yates Freebody, C.E., were examined in support of the ratepayers' case, and amusingly cross-examined by Mr. James. The Hon. Chairman expressed an opinion, in the course of the proceedings, that the evidence adduced did nut tend to sup. port the case on behalf of which it was adduced, and that if there were no further evidence to be brought forward by Mr. Vaughan to-day, it should be understood that Mr. Sergea t Wralignam should open the case of the companies generally on Tnursday.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 1,000 bales, of whi h 500 were taken for export. The market was heavy at previous rates.— Railway Shares were rather firmer. In referring yesterday to the liabilities of Messrs. Rufford, we should have stated them at a quarter of a million sterling. Accounts of March from Port Phillip notice the fact of large subscriptions for the sufferers by the fire at Geelong. Sydney advices to a late date in March state— " In our last we intimated that a Political Association was about to be established in Sydney, and we have now the pleasure of stating that this association has been fairly set on foot, and we most heartily wish it success. " A meeting was held on Monday evening last, at which 17 persons were present, when it was agreed that a society should be then formed, to be called " The Political Associa tion of New South Wales." All the persons then present were immediately enrolled as members, and a pro visional committee of seven was appointed for the purpose of framing rules for the government of the Association. This provisional committee is to continue in existence until fifty members have been enrolled, when a general meeting will be call. d for the purpose of electing by ballot a committee to manage t e affairs of the Association. It was further agreed that the objects of the Association should for the present be simply as follows : "1 To watch over the civil and religious liberties of the people of New South Wales, and more especially of the citizens of Sydney. And 2—To keep a careful eye on the Legislative Council during the ensuing session; to watch eir movement, respecting the division of the colony into electoral districts; and to see that the f Ol. franchise clause shall not be nullified by any chicanery of the Government. "1 hese objects are so simple in themselves, but at the same time so necessary to be arcemplished and worked out for the good of this community, that e e imagine there is scarcely any person who will not fully coincide with them. To en sure the carrying out of these objects in a manner beneficial to the community, we only require to have a good wee king associatien—one full of life and activity—a practical and not a theoretical body." The Overlie d Mail letters have been received, and report rather a dull state of business. The commercial intetligence received from the United States by the Arctic steamer, although two or three days later, is not of much importance. The money market at New York bad been rendered less stringent by fresh arrivals of gold from California, and also from the large amount of the precious metal announce t to be in transitu. The rate of exchange continued at t aPA %, and the export of specie on a large scale was still goi.‘g on, the Arctic bavi' g brought nearly a million of dollars. Further commercial failures are announced by this arrival. ie consequence of the decline in the value of Cotton on both sides of the • tlantic, and other firms are mentioned as being likely to succumb, unless t ey are supported by the arrival of specie from' Cali fornia, wit bout which aid much disaster is anticipated. The following from the " Circular" of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, dated New Orleans, June 21, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the state of the Cotton Market "Our last ' Circular,' dated the 7th instant, reported dulness in this market, and declining prices. During the succeeding week the operations were, however, very fair for the advanced period of the season, amounting to 18,000 bales, at fluctuating rates; the market closing firm. The present week has seen less business done, owing principally to the absence of important European orders, and the suc ceeding departures of our principal operators, still the sales have reached 8,000 bales, at a currency ivaicating an im provement of fully cent. per lb, on all grades from even running middling upwards—the ldwer sorts being freely offered at former quotations. " Even-running lists of all qualities below fair are not to he met with, and if holders submit to a selection of mid dling, good middling, or middling fair, they obt-in, get.e rally, *c. above our quotations. The qualities above mid dling fair, although not to be found in large lots, are generally more even-running, and (being somewhat neglected) on that account comparatively cheaper, but it requires only a little demand to drain our market of all better descriptions. " The stock of Cotton in first bands has now become small and quite manageable, this, with the growing convic tion that the great aed steady decline in Europe has been caused more by general distrust than frero particular suf ferance in any important branch of trade, must tend, we think, to maintain our prese t figures, until more reason able calculations may be formed of the growing crop. The accounts thus far are of a conflicting character, though upon the whole they may be considered favourable; the plant, however, may yet be exposed to many more severe trials than it has hitherto been subjected to this season. " We quote to-day as follows: - ()winery to good ordinary 6%c1. to 7 d. ; middling, B , ol d. to 8 3 / 4 d.; good middling, 9 d. to 94 1 .; middling fair, 9 3 / 4 d. to 10d. ; fair, 10 1 ,4 d. to 10%d. Sales during the last fortnight, 26,000 bates. Receipts at this port since the Ist of September, 932,785 bales, against 776.253 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 292,540 bales." The Funds have been rather less buoyant this morning. Consols are 96% to 97 for Transfer, and 97 to N 3 for the August Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 %4 to 99, and the Three per Cents. Reduced 97% to 97 3 / 4 . Bank Stock is at 214 to 215. Exchequer bills are 495. to 525. premium. In the Foreign Market Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21%, and the Three per Cents. 38% to 39%. The settle meut of the h lf-monthly account is progressing satisfac torily, though there are some heavy losers. Mexican Bonds are 32 1 4 to 32%. and Peruvian Five per Cents. b 9%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realise baX.

The few parcels on 011,1* were lulu n by the millers, w hose attendance was by no means numerous, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday. Foreign Whet, the supply of which was tolerably good, moved off steadily, and last week's currency was well supported. In floating cargoes off Falmouth very little doing. No English Barley was brought forward; but the show of Foreign was tolerably good. On the whole, the demand was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. We had a very slow sale for Malt, but no decline was submitted to in its value. The Oat trade ruled dull, at the late depression. Btans, Peas, and Indian Corn were almost nominal.

Dire crly they got into the street they cum• menced creating a great disturbance, to the annoyance of the inhabitants. He dear( d them to disperse quietly ; the prisoner's companions obeyed his order, but the defendant behaved in such a disorderly manner, and persisted in remaining where he was, that witness was compelled to convey him to the station-house. The defendant, who did not deny the charge, was fined 10s. _ RoßßEßY.—lllary Ann Ross, cook in the service of Madame Liedandat, Duke-street, Grosvenor.square, was charged on suspicion of having stolen eight 10/. notes, the property of M. le C.lnte Groupelli, au ousel:4 to the Sardinian Leo.ii , n. Madame Gellandat deposed that the Count occupied apartments in her house. Last night. about 12 o'clock, she and her family retired to r• st, leaving the prisoner in the kitchen, where she slept. In about an hour after she (witness) had been in bed, she was alarmed by hear- log the street odor close with gre t violence. She got up and proceeded down stairs, but not seeing anyone she went to the kitchen and knocked at the door. Receiving no answer she opened [the door, and saw the prisoner, who was partly undressed, lying on that bed apparently asterp, a candle was burning in the room, which was contrary to the rules of the house. She woke up the prisoner, and asked her whether she had been out, and ou her replying in the bfflimative she (witness) lal t her and went upstairs to her room. B2fure entering the latter she went into a room close by that occupied by the Count, and on looking about saw a box which she anew belonged to the Count open in the room. Suspecting that something was wrong she alarmed the house, and just at that time the Count, who had been out, returned, and on looking over he contents of the box missed eight 101. notes. The prisoner, who sv,s at once suspected to be the thief, was then given in charge. Count Julius Groupelli proved that, previous to his leaving his loOgings last evening, he saw the whole of the notes ssfe in his box in his bed-room. He did not place the box where it was round, neither did he at present know the numfer of the notes. The prisoner, who proteAed her innocence, was re manded for a we«:k. .4 0 4 btrck iolotttr uso STAMFORD RACES (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.. The Three Years Old Stakes.

LAUNCH (Jr THE PARANA.—SAITHAMPTON, JULY 15.—The West India mail seam-ship Parana, of 2,250 tons, was launched shortly after noon to-day from the building yard of Messrs. Wigram and Sons, at Northam, near South ampton. A description of this fine ship is unnecessary, inas much as she resembles in every respect, both in size and pewe., the three steam-ships Oronoco, Amazon, and Magda lena, rt cently launched in the Thames. The Royal atail :.tram Packet Company have now tour out of five of their new steam fleet in the water. The last ship, the Demerara, bu !ding at Bristol, will shortly be sent oft the stocks. The Parana will be copp, red in the Southampton Graving Docks, and is to be afterwards towed round to Greenock to receive her engines and boilers, which are being constructed by Messrs. Caird and Co., of that place. THE TONVIrE OF LONDON MUCH MORE TO SIGHT SEERS THAN MERE ARMOUR AND lIEGALIA. Every Melt of the 'Cower walls is tied to a story—is an evidence in history. If its Roman connexion be fabulous, here, at all events, was a Saxon stronghold, and here is a Norman castle. At sight of these architecturally much-abused walls what names and recollections rise! this palace, prison, and fortress, " the very germ of London," as Charles Knight calls it, is, in truth, the earl) history of England, written on stone, and in terspersed, may we say, with many " cuts on wood." Visitors should not forget Traitors' Gate -" that gate misnamed, through which before Went Sidney, Russell, Raleigh, Cranmer, More;" or the little Church of St. Peter ad Vincula, where lies Anne Boleyn, with many other noble sufferers; or the Beauchamp Tower, with its singularly interesting records of some who were imprisoned there, cut in the stone walls. This latter will be seen on the west side of the open space beside the keep, or what used to be called "the Green beside the Chapel within the Tower," and is now the officers' mess room. To view this permission must be obtained, but this will not be found difficult. Many of the inscriptions are full of interest, none more so to us than the simple word " JANE," which, if not written by the unto turtate Lady Jane Grey herself, probably was by her husband, Guilford. The present mess-master is apt and obliging in describing the must important of these " trivial thou records,,, but he is in error in pointing out the date to the inscription signed " William Tvrrel," as " 1241, the earliest inscription here." It is 1541.- 17+e Builder.

As a suitable prerace to tte quese ens which he has propounded to the Prime Minister, Sir Btejamin Ball has obtsieed a return giving a history of the doings of the Ecclesiastical Commission for the two septennial periods into which its existence is divided. We are now able iu some measure to estimate the degree of their success in the object which they bad in view—the equalizing the incomes of the different sees by a pplying the revenues of the larger to meet the deficiency of the smaller. They did not, indeed, aim at an exact equality, since they allowed the Archbishop of Canterbury 15,000/. a year, the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Lon'' dots 10,0001. a year, and the remaining bishops sums varying between 4,200/. and 5,000/. Of course the Commission had no authority to interfere with vested rights, and it would be, therefore, unfair to cite against them the fact, that the income of the Bishop of Leneon for the last. three years has been in round num bers 24,0001., 19,000 L, and 20,0001. respectively, while the less fortunate. Bishop of Exeter has received during the same period 3,000/., 1,5001., sad 2,0001. But we may fairly take the case of the Bishop of Durham. who re csived his bishopric in the day aof reform, an who, after paying to the Ecclesiastical Commissicners 11.200/, has received in 1848 23,0001., in 1849 9,0004, and in 1850, 27 0001. In these cases we have the two poles, the zenith and nadir, of the episcopal system, and are fairly authorised in concluding that, notwith standing the Ecclesiastical Commission is now entering on the third lustre of its labours, something is yet wanting towards that equitable equality which it was its object to establish. Chester receives 550/., Chichester 650/., St. David's 1,6004 reford 1,000/., Lichfield 850/., Llandaff 3,150/., Mau ceester 4,200/., Oxfor ; 3.500/, Peterborough 1,1501, end Rochester 3 7501., in supplement of their incomes, while Exeter and our or two other bishoprics nearly as poor are left unenclowsd. Several bishoprics—as for instance ali,,bury, Worcester,Norwich,fsed Ely, are allowed very consitet . ably to exceed the reductions fixed upon by the Cematissioners without any attempt to qualizs theta. We are not now considering whether the principle upon which the Ecclesiastical Commission proposed to re gulate the incomes of the bisbops was a good one,' but are only pointing out how utterly it bas failed in the working. The Bishop of Durhala► who ought last year to have received 8,0004 re' ceived 27,0001.; the Bishop of Exeter, who ought to have received, we presume, at least 4,2001., receive=d under 2 eOOL, or less than one-thirteenth cart of the in' come of his mere fortunate brother. The plan upon which the Commission has proceeded appears to u. peen. liarly uulertunate, and must have the Oh ct of exhibit ing many members of the right reverend bench in a light most eminently undesirable. A prospective charge upon the revenues of any see seems generally to have been m t in a spirit of vicarious liberality, but the most determined resistance is offered to any attempt to reduce the income of the see in the hands of the prevent locust' bent to the amount ou the faith of receiving which be accepted it. We select, as an instance of the manner in which a bishop can condescend to higgle for a perpetuation of an income far larger than that which he had any legal or moral right to, the case of the Bishop of Woe tester, Ihe income of the Bishop of Wor cester was fixed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at 5,000/. a-year. Now, the ave. age of this see for the si% veers ending in 1835 was 7.643/. thus leaving a surplus of 2.643/. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners, by an order is 1837, fixed the payment on this see for the enlargement of smaller bishoprics at the very moderate sure of 2,300 1 . a-year. For the seven years ending in 1843 the average of the income of the bishopric was pretty nearly the same as for the preceding six. Under these rather unpromising circumstances the Bishop of Worcester memoralized the Commissioners for a re ductien of the charge upon his bishopric from 2,3001. to 1,5004; he confidently states his opinion that the bishopric will not continue to yield the sum at which it is esti mated, expresses his utter inability to pay it, and forms the Commissioners that such a payment, 11 claimed, could only be recovered by legal process.—tbat is, as his Lerdship explains, to obviate all mistake et to his meaning, judgment and execution. In support 0 ! his prayer is adduced the opinion of his brother, Lora Cottenhem, to the eff ct that the order imposing the rent' charge upon the see of Worcester is invalid in law. The Commissioners appointed a committee, on which tat the Bishops of Loudon, Durham, and Hereford. and they, by no means appalled by the opinion of the ex-Chancellor in favour of his brother, reporter, against the Bishop's claim. On this the Bishop of Wor rester gave notice of a motion to be made by him in the Ecclesiastical Commission, to the eff. ct that the r ent' charge on his see was calculated on erroneous data, an d ought to be reduced to 1,600/. per annum, a proposition on which it never seems to have occurred to him that he as a party interested was incompetent to decide. Luckily the Bishop abstained from this discreditable pro cedure, and the result was that the charge was confirmed. minus 100/. taken off on the ground of a clerical error. Of course, our readers wiil suppose that the average of the • next seven y ears fully bore out the ap;,rehensions of the Bishop, and justified him, in spite of the contradiction afforded by the income of thirteen successive years, in net only calling in his brother to be judge in his cause, but is the attempt to adjudicate upon it himself. It is consulivg te those whose apprehensions may have been excited bi these gloomy prophecies to know that for the seven years concluding 1850 the income of the Bishop Of Worcrster has exceeded 9,0001, so that, after paying the much-disputed rentcharge of 2.3001.. he receives, over and above the 5,000/. designed for him, 1,700/., or near!, as much as the income of his brother of Exeter. We have now an average of 20 years of the see of 'Nor.. tester, which raises the income considerably above 8.000/. The Bebop has no claim to one shilling above 5,C00/., and yet he considers himself deeply injured be' cause he has been obliged to contribute a sum toward. the sus meutetion of peever bishopric's which only allows him 700/. a yeer more than he ought to receive. But not only have are proceedings of the Ecclesiastical CeOr mission been unfortunate in developing an avidity after the perishable things of this world exactly proportional e to the superabundance in which they are distrthete h among the teachers cf our faith; it has also, singularly enough, called several bishops as witnesses against theny selves. The Bishop of Durham considers 8 000/. pile annum a sufficient remuneration for the future incurs' bent of his princely see, yet he received in 1847, 19,00 04 and, in 1850, 18 tiOOL more than that sum. The Birth? of Winchester is content that the Bishops of Winchesters his successors, shall receive 7,000/, for which sum he t ae of opinion that a prelate can be obtained worthy to dis charge the duties of his Fee; yet for the last seven years he hes been in the receipt of an income exceeding this i sum by an amount in no case less than 2,0 00 4 6 061 reaching, last year, 28,000/.. or four times the v ery ample salary which he destines for his successor. The Bishop of London pickets 20,0001. a year, which, by his own admission, is 10,000/. more than is required. then, the end and aim of life the accumulation of money? Is there such an utter dearth of objects on which to ee." ercise her activity that our Church is obliged to squander her resources tin adding surplus to superfluity, and giv' ing more to those who, by their own confession, have already so vastly too much? Bian.thing we hear of OA necessity of church extension, something of the Decor city of relieving the craving wants of the working clergi i in remote districts, something of the increasing demise': for religious education. The laity are continually calle r ' upon to contribute to these objects. but where are the hundreds of thousands which the Church could contri' buts after making provision for the decent and even affluent maintenance of her rulers? They are to be traced into the bands of those who are fortunate enotig /1 ..1 to inherit the gains of men succee di ng to t h e e piscePr office, often with but sle n d er means , an d l eav i n g to tbe" . descendants a splendid inheritance accumulated irons tb ° funds of the Church.
