FATAL. ACCIDENT PROM BATHING.—A young man lost his life whilst bathing in the Serpentine on Sunday • morning. Although the officers of the Royal Humane So ciety were on the spot immediately the alarm was given, they failed to raise the body till life had become quite ex tinct. The body was under water about thirty minutes, and • what is very remarkable it never once rose to the surface . from the moment of its first disappearing. This was pro bably occasioned by the deceased having become fast in the ' mud, for which this river has of late become so notorious. • This 'supposition derives strength from the circumstance of part of the body being covered with bl ac k filth when taken 6 E% up. Thetinfortunate person whose death is here recorded was by i " , tiracte an artificial flower maker, and resided. at King's-crow. He was a fine young man about twenty-one . years of age.

As we intimated yesterday, the Government took occasion last evening to explain their intentions re specting the proposed cessation of Sunday labour in the Post-office department. Heaven knows, the ex planation was brief enough in all conscience, yet its brevity was withal so peculiarly significant that we could scarcely desire anything more detailed. The declaration of the views entertained upon this impor• tint subject by the members of the Administration was prefaced, as will be perceived by a glance at our Parliamentary report, by the perusal of her MAJESTY'S most gracious answer to the Address presented to her MAJESTY by order of the House of Commons—a reply read with all befitting emphasis at the bar. of that Honourable House by her MAJESTY'S prin cipal Home Secretary. " I have received your Address," runs the Royal document, "praying that the collection and delivery of letters may in fu ture entirely cease on Sunday'.in all parts of the kingdoth ; and, also, that an inquiry may be made as to how far, without injury to the public service, the transmission of the mails on the Lord's-day might be diminished or entirely suspended; and in com pliance with your request I shall give directions accord ingly r Now, without being a decisive and uncon ditional concession by way of acquiescence with the demand of the petitioners, that reply is altogether so wholly divested of even the shadow of a semblance of opposition to their request that we regard the result almost as if it were even now accomplished. In cor roboration of this opinion come the few but ade quate remarks of the Prime Minister. " With respect to the delivery of letters," said the Noble Lord, " the directions to be given by her MAJESTY will be in accordance with the orders of this House With respect to the transmission of letters, the ad dress only proposes inquiry." Further on, in answer to the cross-examination of the Right Hon. Gentle man the Representative of Manchester, Lord Join RUSSELL explicitly avowed, " What the Government wishes to do is to carry into effect the orders of this House : it is not for me to say, whether any advantage will be derived from the arrangement." No : unquestionably. It is not for the Noble Lord to say whether any advantage will be derived from the arrangement; but it is for him, in his capacity as Prime Minister of England, to make searching in quiries as to whether any disadvantage will result from it to the community ; it is for him to discover whether it may not be actually calculated to plunge the whole of the affairs of this great mercantile nation into an inextricable and ruinous confusion. Such investigations are absolutely incumbent upon him, as the statesman upon whose conscience devolves the awful responsibility of maintaining the well-beings. of the entire population. Unless indeed a larger amount of precaution be displayed by her MAJESTY'S Government in this present particular, than can be well anticipated from the nature of the Royal reply and the character of the Premier's explanation, we do not shrink from the avowal that we tremble for the probable, we might almost say the inevitable consequences. s Before another step-is taken in this retrogressive movement towards the revival and re-acceptance of the formulas of superstition, we reiterate in simple words our warning of the certain and disastrous re action that must follow. We look back to the records of history and to the declarations of experi ence—and we find the truth everywhere proclaimed that wherever fanaticism has imposed its most strin gent regulations upon the multitude, that proceeding has only been productive of a lamentable recoil into habits of the grossest indecency and the utmost irre ligion. The reason of this is obvious at the first blush. By rendering religion repulsive and the beautiful injunctions of Christianity unpopular, the fanatics are necessarily impeding the progress of those principles which it is ever desirable should be disseminated in the most seductive light and under the most persuasive appearances. In its very ele mentary nature Chistianity 'is essentially winning. The saints would render it a loathsome compound of harshness and hypocrisy. In its every dogma it ap peals to the affections of the population, exciting sen timents of love by its gentleness. and of gratitude by its beneficence. The Sabbatarians, on.the con trary, would fain distort its holiest festivals into causes of annoyance, and ultimately of actual detes tation—obliging the worldly-minded to give the pre ference to that system of ethical indifference and exaggerated latitudinarianism, which would seem to be the only security against the intolerable predomi nance of bigotry. Our opposition, therefore, to the scheme of Lord ASHLEY and his sanctimonious associates takes its origin not in our disregard to the rites and practices of religion, but from our superior reverence for the benignity of Revelation, and our extreme solicitude that the people may not be driven into an attitude of antagonism to the Sunday. Of all institutions that of the Sunday —of the day of rest recurring at regu lar intervals—is one of the most sagacious and bene ficent. To render it an abomination to the multitude, instead of being an object of popular veneration, is as suredly a project as wicked as it is shameless for its audacity. Yet such we maintain is literally the. nature and the tendency of this wretched scheme of the Sabbatarians. By striving to stop up the channels of communication on the Sunday, they are virtually endeavouring to affix an odium to the Divine Law from which it originally emanated. Against this we shall not cease to protest with all possible earnestness, until such time as common sense shall have vanquished superstition, and bigotry have given way to a liberal and rational observance of the Sunday. To manufacture Acts of Parliament compelling the people to do so and so on Sundays, under penalty, appears to us as monstrous. ' ' and arbitrary a proceeding as to ordain, under penalty, that all classes of the com-: munity shall be baptized, whether they believe in baptism or not. This is most certainly, and with a vengeance, degrading a divine institution into a mere human regulation. According to such a plan, we Might say that if hell is paved with good resolutions, heaven, would seem, in the estimation of the Sab batarians, to be tesselated with Acts of Parlia ment. Anything more odious than the whole agita tion set on foot by these people, anything more de rogatory to the character of religion, anything more detrimental to the interests o f mora lity, any thi ng more antagonistic to th e very fi rst pr i nc i ples of Christianity, u any possibility h ave b een d ev i se d . If t h ese howlers over what they are pleased to call the dese cration of the Sabbath had aspired to render them selves and their doctrines repulsive they could not have divised a scheme more signally effectual. They have, fortunately, however, revealed the pernicious character of their intention s so glaringly that, not withstanding the readiness evinced her MAJESTY'S by AALAJESTY'S Government to yield entirely to their demands, we h a ve such implicit confidence in th e sound sense of the English people, in their hat re d o f humbug, and b their resolute r etention of all th eir rights and prero gatives, that we anticipate having the d e li g h t of very speedily witnessi ng the total discomfiture o f th e Sab batarians. The public has at le n g th an o pp ortunit y of judging of the arguments advanced by the advocates of the Lor&Lieutenancy in Ireland in favour of the re tention' of that most unnecessary and useless office. During the prolonged discussion last night on the order for the second reading of the Bill for its aboli tion, we were favoured with the views of gentlemen holding very opposite political opinions. We had the Repeal party represented by the Honourable Members for Meath and Thief); the old To ll") or Comerntiree, by the Idembers for h trhaertCyi,tybyantdheUGniaNielarsnittycoolfoDneulbte Member for For lin ; and the Country tarlington. We might, therefore, reasonably have • could rth b e e o u b r j g e e c d tio a n g s ain o s f t e t v h e ere rymeasu, yet, what possible cha racter expected t that o t was the result? We fearlesslyae entirewassk, debate tberea single argument adduced during h worthy of serious consideration ? The House was first gravely told by Mr. GRATTAN that " the Legislature had no right to pass a Bill abolishing the Lord,l 4 leutenancy I" _ gnat " the ci eg ' . by the treaty two countries !!" That of — t'e uni ‘ O . t a li s " the people of Ireland were as much enti tled to have their Lord-Lieutenant as the people of England were to have their Lord Chancellor !! I" This is a direct plea to the jurisdiction of the Impe rial Parliament, which requires something stronger bgiutawreaentn e e thet o to sustain it than mere empty declamation, or gra tuitous assertion. It is a legal question and must be decided on strictly legal grounds. Where is the clause or article in that treaty which provides for the permanency of the office? Where the stipulation which either directly or by implication warrants the state ment ? There is nothing in any degree bearing upon, or which, by the remotest possibiliti, could be tor tured into an intention by the then Parliament of curtailing the power of its successors, or a declara tion that the existing form of government in Ireland should be perpetuated. And the absence of such a provision proves that it was clearly and distinctly understood that it should remain an open question, to be decided according to such contingencies as might thereafter arise. The letter of GEORGE the THIRD, quoted by Lord Jowl RUSSELL when intro ducing the Bill, showed that even at that time the abolition of the office was in actual contemplation, and that the intention was only deferred, not abandoned. There were at that time several reasons for the con tinuance of the office, the grounds of which have lonr since ceased and determined. There was the delay and uncertainty of communication between the English and Irish metropolis, when three or four days were consumed in the journey to Holyhead, and when the passage by sea might last an ad ditional week, it was essential that there should be some person resident in that country with power to act summarily and decisively, according to the exigencies of the moment. The nation was then unfortunately involved in hos tilities with its most powerful neighbour, and an in vasion of Ireland was by no means improbable. Preparations for a vigorous defence might become necessary at any moment, which could not without the greatest danger be deferred until the Executive in London could be consulted. The state of the criminal law also rendered it essential that there should be some person on the spot authorised to pardon or mitigate the punishment of cri minals. Many offences which were then capital are, however, now only subject to secondary punishments—murderers were then exe cuted within forty-eight hours after sentence, within which time it would be impossible to commu nicate with the Home Secretary in Downing-street. But now all these things are changed. The jour ney from London to Dublin can be performed with ease and certainty within twelve hours. There is happily no war, or prospect of war, to " fright the isle from its propriety." The good people of Ireland are not terrified by daily rumours of the " landing of the French," even the criminal code is completely altered, and in cases of murder, where the extreme penalty of the law is alone inflicted, an interval of several weeks invariably occurs between sentence and execution, where forty-eight hours only could be allowed under the old law. There is, therefore, not the slightest necessity for maintaining the office, when the ad vantages which could alone be regarded as equiva lents for the unquestionable evils of a divided admi nistration, are no longer to be found. -- ..~s There was another cause, too, although not pro minently forced, which induced ministers for the time being to connive at the continuance of the office. The " good old times" of " rotten boroughs" had not been brought to a conclusion—there was no real re presentation of the people. A few wealthy aristocrats arranged the country elections as they thought proper, and any attempt to interfere with the " pa tronage" of the " family borough" was regarded as a personal insult that could alone be atoned for by ren dering gentlemanly satisfaction at ten or twelve paces. Each man did as "he liked with his. own ;" and even Parliament re.:ognised the existence of this extraordinary description of property, by granting pecuniary compensation to the reputed 'owners of the disfranchised boroughs, no less than 15,0001. being allowed for each Member that was taken away. Under such a system of bribery and corrup tion, where all was venal, the Irish Viceroy was looked upon as a convenient go-between, who could settle the proper price of each vote with the high-minded Representatives of these free and enlightened constituencies. But even these happy days are numbered with the " things that have been." There has been a certain species of Parlia mentary reform, and no Member can, at least openly, betray the trust reposed in him by the electors. There is undoubtedly a good deal of " jobbing " and " back-stairs intrigue carried on in " the purlieus of the Castle," but not to the extent of ancient times, or such as to render necessary the presence of a re presentative of the SOVEREIGN to ratify and confirm the bargains that had been entered into by the officia hangers-on. Is to the arguments respecting the ill-treatment of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, whose melancholy situation, if the statements respecting him be well founded, we deeply deplore, or to the past maladministration and misgovernment of the sister kingdom, we cannot see what bearing they have upon the question--in deed the latter afford the strongest reasons in favour of the Bill. The people of that country have suffered deeply and severely, but these evils have been sustained while blessed with the fos tering smile and countenance of a Viceroy. It is clear that they have not enjoyed any reasonable share of prosperity under the anciim regime —is it not worth while trying what will be the effect of a change, and the assimilation of their condition to that of the people of this more favoured country ? THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. "We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The PRESIDENT of the Republic was received with great enthusiasm at St. Quentin, where the peasantry thronged in from all parts for the purpose of giving him a cordial reception. The welcome given to the Prince would appear indeed to have been as much a political ovation as any accorded to him during his tour in the west provinces last autumn. On his pas sage to the railway, he was saluted with cries of " Vive le President," " Vive Napoleon." The ceremony passed off without the slightest accident. By ten o'crock in the evening, the FREE/DENT and the whole party bad returned to Paris. A circular from the Minister of Justice appears in the llfoniteur, directing all the Attorneys-General of the departments to execute the provisions of the electoral law voted on the 31st ult, and pointing out certaiu difficulties which may arise from the construc tion of the law. Among the latest subjects of gossip in regard to French jtarnalism, we may mention the fact of a new Socialist newspaper being announced—Le People de 1850—with a capital of 200,000 f., to be raised in shares of from sf. to 100 f. The Mayor of Touilloux has recently been sus pended by the Prefect of the Soaneet-Loire, in con. sequence of a neglect of duty. M. BRES, the candidate of the party of order, has been elected a :member of the Council-General of the Basses Alps by g a majority of 1,19 5 votes to 32,5iven to the Socialist candidate. According to o iatccaopupneatsrsretcheaitvetdhe r from Toulon, dated pro the . vencale provision ships have arrived in that port, having on the 29th ult. left the French fleet off Naples. It would appear that the Government has begun to repent of its recent precipitation, orders for the levy of seamen:at Toulon having been much modified. Considerable anxiety, of course, still continues to be felt by all parties in France in reference to the subject of the debts of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, and the question of the 3,000,000 f. Many imagine that had the PRESIDENT waited until the expiration of his four years in office, the nation would then without a murmur have voted the liquidation of all his liabilities. It cannot be forgotten, however, that by advancing his claim at that particular period, he would necessa rily have materially injured his chances of a re% election. The Constitutionnel repeats that the PRESIDENT will accept of.no compromise. Cardinal DUPONT, so long expected from Rome, has at last arri v ed i n Paris, The Archbishop of BOURGES was accompanied in his return by M. MA TUIEV, the Archbishop of Besancon.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices PATTESON and ERLE.) DAVIS V. CAEEY. This wa s an act i on on a b on d, b ear i ng d a t e th e 31 s t December, 1822, executed by the defendant and one Joseph C arey. Lord CsataiELL gave judgment this morning, and, after reviewing the facts of the case, which involved no feature of public interest, said the Court was of opinion that judgment must be for the defendant on both the breaches which had been alleged. KNIGHT v. THE NEPTUNE INSURANCE COMPANY. Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court in this ease this morning. He said this was an action of covenant, on a policy of insurance, under seal, exe cuted by th e d e f en d ants , th e N e pt une M a rine I ns ur a nce commencingfor 1,000 L, on en the the 2 s 4 h t i h p and steoe ca te rg h o er of the Luey p H an a y ll,lB4s, until Con the 23d September, 1846, whilst she performed a voyage beyond seas, and back to this country. The declaration alleged that, after the 24th September, 1845, and before th e 23d September,lB46, viz., on the 16th Sep tember, 1846, the ship,by reason of the perils of the sea, was stranded, and wholly lost. The plea denied the lose mode et forma. At the trial a verdict was found fur the plaintiff, damages 1,0561. 17s. 10d., the amount of the sum insured, subject to the opinion of the Court on a case in which the only question submitted] to them was whether the verdict was to stand for the plaintiff or be entered for the defendants. It appeared that on the 16th September, 1846, the Lucy Hall on taking the har bour of Santa Cruz, was stranded, but was eventually got off, and towed into the harbour, where it was die covered that she had sustained serious damage. In the argument before the Court it was first oontanded that the verdict ought to stand for the plaintiff, on the footing of a total loss; but the Court was of opinion that the plaintiff was precluded from complaining of a total loss by reason of his having omitted to give the defendants notice of abandonment. After the damage the ship remained at Santa Cruz until the middle or eud of October, where she was kept afloat by pumping her from time to time. Her cargo was dis cbarged into other vessels, and a survey la, ing had upon her, it was found that she had been so damaged that the nece,4ary repairs could not be done at Santa Cruz, nor could she Ie taken to Monte Video or any other place where she could have been repaired. Under those circumstances, the vessel was sold in October, 1848, at Santa Cruz, for 721. 10a. 6d., without any notice of abandonment having been given to the defendants. It was argued b e fore th e Court that the shi p must be taken to have actually pe rished, becau4e it was stated, that whil e un d er t h e pro tection of the policy I.lle received her death blow. But the Court were bound to look at her actual condition' after the damage was sustained, and they found that she was -kept alive several weeks after the accident, alil " - might have been so temporarily repaired in that i nterval as to enable her to piaeeed to some other place were s h e m i ght have been more effec tually repaired. The Court was not called on to decide the question of the notice of abandonment; but in this case they were of opinion that as against the insurers the sale was not shown to have been lawful. For those reasons they thought the verdict could not stand for a total loss; but they thought the ship sustained a partial loss for which the plaintiff ought to receive an indemnity. They thought the proper course would be to refer the question of compensation for partial loss to arbitrators, and that the verdict for the plaintiff should be reduced to the sum determined upon by the arbitrators; but if both parties should not agree, the Court would direct a new trial, that the amount of da mages might be ascertained. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) GORHAM v. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. The CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of the Court this day, on the application of Sir F. Kelly for a rule to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not issue to restrain further proceed ings in the Ecclesiastical Court. The Chief Baron stated that it would have been necessary fur the Court to have carefully examined the authorities and the judgment delivered by the other common law courts before deciding to refuse the rule ; that there had not been sufficient time for this, which if the Court had de iayegdrafonng for that purp ea o r s , e, wand withh r a e d fer u e l h t e im e ultimately the e sol l v a e w resolved in the r u l e , t h e l i t i gat i on , from the terms, season must o fthey have been kept open until November next. The Court, therefore, had resolved on greeting a rule to show cause returnable peremptorily to-morrow, which would give the Court jurisdiction to hear the argument, and give judgment at the sittings after this term. Bat the Court bad arranged with Mr. Baron Parke to preside in London at Nisi Prins in the place of the Chief Baron from the 29th inst. until this case was di aposo of. H e wished to call the attention of Counsel to a point which had been but little adverted to in the argument, but on which they felt much difficulty: it was whether this was, in fact, a contention or proceeding touching the Queen, in her prerogative, such as was comprised within the statute.

The Pregeut.Prismor, lifter obtaining possession of the money, gave way to a course of desperate dissipation, and she was ultimately captured in a brothel, where she was lying in a state of insengibi lity, produced by drink. She was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the Surrey House of Cor rection.

ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Patrick Smith, aged 33, described as a musician, and Sarah Smith, his wife, were indicted for stealing a box, containing a quantity of jewellery, the property of an ayab. Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, defended the prisoners. - It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel that the posecutrix was a native of Ceylon, and some short time ago she was in the service of Sir Edward Barnes, the Governor. On the death of that gentle• man, she was engued by Dr. Darwood at Madras, to attend his wile and two children on a voyage to Eng land. The voyage was undertaken in the East India man Wellesley. Shortly after the prosecutrix went on board she made the acquaintance of the two prisoners, who were deck passengers, and as they appeared to take more interest in her welfare than her master, she informed them that her brother, who was a jeweller at Madras, had entrusted her with a quantity of valuables to dispo,e of in England, while in the box which contained this pro perty she had 1004 of her own, the savings of her pre vious life. This communication seems dto have excited their cupidity, and they advised prosecutrix to be careful not to entrust the precious box to the steward or any other person connected with the vessel, at the same time startling her with the information that foreigners were not allowed to land on the English shores with anything valuable in their possession. Relying upon the good faith of this statement, she consented to the prisoner taking charge of the property, and it was accordingly handed over to them; and the result was, that on their reaching the docks, they immediately disappeared, car rying with them the box. In the meantime, Dr. Dar wood having no further occasion for the services of the prosecutrix, he lett her at the docks to shift for herself; and after passing through many hardships, she found her way to Mr. Barnes, the brother of her former master. This gentleman listened patiently to bet story, and tninking that she had been ill-used by Dr. Darwood, and robbed by the prisoners, he determined to take her case up, and eventually the prisoners were given into custody on this charge. Some jewellery was found upon the female, which the prosecutrix identified as part of her property ; but, strange to say, these trinkets have been since claimed by Dr. Darwood, and the prosicutrix now stands charged with stealing them. The account the female prisoner gave of the affair was simply that the prosecutrix made her a present of the property, but while they appeared steeped in poverty on board ship, the prisoners were discovered in a -compa rative state of affluence when taken into custody, and this and other matters of a circumstantial character, such as a remark of the female to the effect that she wished they had thrown the black b— overboard, was the evi dence adduced in support of the prosecution to-day. The case was proceeding when our report left. NEW COURT. - (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The Court was occupied the entire morning with Mint cases, which presented no features of general interest. WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY.) OBTAINING MONEY TINDER FALSE PRETENCES. PROM THE DUCHESS OF IitONTROSE.-A Frenchman, between 30 and 40 years of age, who gave his name Ponce Trysoa, but who has a number of aliases, and is stated to be a well-known, begging-letter impostor, was charged with imposing upon the Duchess of Montrose. Itnppeared that about a mouth since, the prisoner left a letter at the mansion of the Duke of Montrose, and stated that he was a foreigner in great distress. The Duchess gave him a, few shillings; and upon the receipt of a second letter by the Duke, be ordered his butler to make inquiries, and he found that the prisoner had been living in grand style in Maddox•street, but bad suddenly decamped without paying bis bill.for board and lodging. His Grace had another letter sent him from Birmingham, from a Monsieur Tryson, in which he stated that he was a professor of languages, and haying obtained a situation at Birmingham, he was unable to enter upon his duties, his clothes being in so bad a condition. A meeting was appointed at his Grace's maiden e,, and when the prisoner made his appearance he. was taken into custody by Horsford, and at once admitted bis guilt, but excused himself by stating that he had Iwo names, and produced what,purported to be a passport, and which bore the name Jacques Ponce Tryson. The Magistrate, after hearing other evidence, com mitted him to prison for six weeks. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock, in the new Chamber. Mr. GREENE moved that instructions be given to the Committee of Selection to fix the first sitting of the Committee on the Prussian Minister's Residence Bill three clear days after the second reading of the Bill, if they shall so think fir. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were then read a third time and passed:— Bradford Improvement, Police, and Purchase and Closing of Bradford Canal. Cromford and Newhaven Turnpike Road. South Wales Railway (Alteration of Works). The Earl of Lincoln's Divorce, and the Prussian Minister's Residence Bills were read 'a second time. PETITIONS. Mr. FREWEN presented several petitions from dif ferent parts of Sussex and Kent, praying for a repeal of the malt-tax. Sir H. WILLIAMSON presented a petition from the women of Cornwall, praying for the extension of the penny postage to foreign countries. Sir G. GREY presented tea petitions from different parts, of the metropolis in favour of the Marriage Bill. Lord ASHLEY presented a petition in favour of the Interments Bill. . Sir G. GREY, in the absence of Lord J. Rutsell, moved the appointment of a Select Committee to con sider the present accommodation afforded by the Na tional Gallery; and the best mode of preserving and exhibiting - to the public, works of art given to the nation, or purchased by Parliameatwry , grants:—Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Hume, Lord Seymour, - Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Baring Wall, Mr. : Sidney Herbert, Sir Benjamin Hall, Marquis of Granby, Mr. 'rufoell, Mr. Wakley, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr. Nukes, and Colonel Rawden. The House then went into Committee on the inter . ments Bill. On clause 30,' Sir G. GREY said,' that with the permission of the Committee, he wished to propose an amendment in that part of the clause which had already been considered by the• Committee. The Committee had determined that compensation for the removal of interments from the metropolitan church-yardi should be granted to ex isting and to., .future incumbents at the rate o f 6s. 2d. for eac h i nterment, which be believed was a very fair average. Now from information lif) had received since the Committee last sat,• he had been in duced to consider that in some cues this compentition would very much exceed the just limit, while in &hers it would fall very much below. . The amendment he proposed would, he thought, obviate any injustice either on the one side or the other. He still proposed to retain the 4 'Gs. 21 as the rate of com pensation for each burial, but instead of being paid in the first instance to the clergyman from whose parish the interment was taken, it should be carried to a separate fund, and the incumbent should , receive a corn- pensationacoording to an average of five years before 'the passing of the Act. But he thought it would be sufficient to provide a just and equitable compensation; and, at the sa me time, it would not be a growing sum, but always continue the same. This was with reference to existing incumbents, and with regard to future incumbents, he thought it would be fair to as certain on esch occasion what the circumstances of the parish were before framing the amount of compensation to be claimed by each aucceediag incumbent. as be. lieved that if this were carried into effect, it was possible that there would be in time a surplus fund which might be applied to various purposes. Sir B. HALL was very glad that the present amend ment had been introduced by the Right Hon. Baronet, because he thought it would do away with a, great many objections. H e h a d grea t o bj ec ti o n s t o a growing sum of compensation, and he would mention the effect it would have had on two parishes with, wbieh he was connected. In Marylebone, by the average increase of population, the fees would, in process of time, have amounted to more than 1,0001. a year; and in St. Pan cras, the increase in 4Q years would be at least 40 per cent., and the income more• than 4,000/. a year * The ainendnient of The Right Hon. Gentleman was to institute a separate fund for the general compensation of incumbents. What he would venture to suggest was, that a separate fund should be kept for every parish. He - had shown theincrease of income in, those two parishes, and the burials would increase in the same ratio ; therefore he wanted to have all those, funds kept separate in each parish.. In order to make his suggeation intelligible, he would propose a proviso to the effect that the amount to be paid to an incumbent should not in any One year exceed the net annual amount taken by that incumbent on an average of five years. Sir G. GREY made - : a few remarks on the Hen. Baronet's (the Member for Maryleboce) proposition which were inaudible in the gallery. Sir. B. HALL was understood to say his proposition was that they should not at all disturb the income of an incumbent so long as he lived. Colonel THOMPSON said there was a principle de cidedly at work in this country which demanded that clergymen should keep pace exactly with the increase of population. If the population was qua drupled it appeared to him that the number of clergy men ought to increase in the sama proportion. 11, thought that an unfair idea had gone forth that the clergymen in this ease were opposed to the contemplated reforms.—(llear, hear.) His personal experience had been exactly the contrary. He recently attended a public meeting in a metropolitan borough on this subject, ~the chairman of which awetip ..W n_ clergyman 01 the Established Chita, : whoiski pn that oceaFion that the clergy were sure that their incomes would be affected by this measure, but they utterly re pudiated the idea that they were opposed to the conceal. plated reform.--(Hear, hear.) Si r " • . -- - t;t7:I4LIFF . y decidedly " . - Vernment , a -A) - roved of the Go satisfaction. anu ne thought it would give utdverb.al Mr. MACKINNON urged del iy upon the 11 - )use in order that the subject might reeve a fees , e.usi4e ration. Mr. LUSHINGTON said he objected to the principle of perpetuity with respect to the compeosatioo which was still involved in the que.tiun. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask what was the probable number of chaplains that would be required to carry out the object of the clause? His object in asking that question was that they should have a liberal allowance. Sir GEORGE GREY waa understood to say it was impossible to fix the amount of their remuneration at alai moment. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY quite concurred in the pro prit ty of compensating the present incumbents for the loss of their fees which they would sustain; but begged is ask whether it was intended in that compensation to include such fees as those for scarfs and hatbands, and for tablets put against the walls of the various chapels?, Sir GEORGE GREY said fees for scarfs and hat bands had never entered into his consideration. The fee for the erection of tabl.•ts in churches was included in the charge. The maximum fee for all parish burials would not exceed Is. Lord DUDLEY STUART observed that the Right Hon. Gentlemen se: med to smile at the fees for scarfs and hatbands, but it appeared from the evidence of the Bishop of London before the Committee of 1842 that they amounted to a considerable sum. He wished to know how the average mentioned in the clause was to be taken, and in what way the surplus was to be dis posed of? Sir GEORGE GREY said the average would be cal culated ota the number of funerals and the amount of fees received exclusive of presents to clergymen. The surplus would be employed for church purposes to pro vide for the increasing population. Mr. B. OSBORNE said these complimentary fees existed to a great extent, and he should like to know how they were to be divided between the vicar and the curate. It could never be said that the clergy had not opposed this Bill, because the tact was otherwise. The Bishop of London stated, before Mr. Mackinnon's Committee, that he and his family never enjoyed better health than when they resided near the churchyard of St. Botolph. Clergymen were like lawyers, because they never originated any reform in their own body.—(A laugh.) He bad the authority of the bishop for saying that there was always a good un derstanding between the clergymen and the undertaker in respect to the complimentary fees. He wished to know whether the vicar was to get 10s. while the poor unfortu nate curate, who did all the work, was only allowed 2s. 6d. Was be correct in supposing that come such sliding scale as that was to be adopted? He was also desirous of learning who was to have the management of the sur plus fund. Sir GEORGE GREY was understood to reply that he had introduced no scale at all. Hatbands did not come under the denomination o f fees. Lord ASHLEY having had personal communication with the clergy on the subject of the Bill, was bound to say that as a body they had shown the greatest desire to assist in the advancement of this mea sure, even at the expense of their own fees.---(flear, hear.) The clergy, in fact, were entitled to a fee of Bs. for each funeral, but in order that they should not stand in the way of the Bill, they had con sented to take the 6s. 2d., as proposed by Government, and he was therefore bound to acknowledge with ad miration and gratitude the assistance which they had rendered this great measure.—(Hear, bear.) After a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE, Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR said he wished to make one observation on a subject which had been re ferred to by his Hon. Colleague. He meant the salu brity of graveyards. A few weeks ago three grave gentlemen who bad invested capital in funeral para phernalia waited upon him to point out the injustice which the measure would inflict upon them.—(A laugh.) They insisted that there was no necessity whatever for it, and scouted the very idea of a churchyard being at all unhealthy. In proof of this they wished him to go to a neighbouring church and see the sexton, whose children lived in the yard, and were remarkable for their roseate and healthy appearance.--(A laugh.) He, however, declined the invitation, much to the disappointment of the deputation, who seemed to think that the best place a worn-out Member could repair to at the close of a fatiguing session was not to a salubrious park in the country, but to some lodging house in the immediate neighbourhood of a metropolitan churchyard.—(Hear, and laughter.) The clause, as amended, was then read from the Chair. Lord DUDLEY STUART said it was the custom of the House to print amendments before they were agreed to. He knew that it was not absolutely necessary, but in a difficult clause like this the custom ought to be enforced to enable Hon. Members to understand it. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR said it would only waste time to print the clause, and he therefore hoped his Noble Friend would not press his proposal. After .a few words from Sir G. GREY and Mr. STYLI), which were not audible in the gallery, Mr. Aldermand COPELAND rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The betting yesterday was on so small a scale that b ad hot been for a curious movement with regard 143 Damask, we should have con.ented ourselveswidLit f i he Insrkt t p:-icev. It appea rs " simple quotation e f two or three gentlemen connected with Treen' ble, s ts believing Damask to be his property, backed him Saturday for a great stake, 4 to 1 not been obta inable 9 the clos e of the betting that day. It aft-rward. et!" out (at least such the story in circulation) thst Glen had actually bought, paid. and bt,ined r"elP for the horse as far back as November last, and ev my at being forestalled was determined to scratc h Thi,. had the effect of sending him back in the betting yesterday to 10 to 1 (15 to 1 laid once), at w hich fig"! he closed, very few being disposed to lay against or bs4 l 'ed him. On inquiring at Messrs. Weatherly's office, evening, we were informed that Mr. Glen bad earn. his threat into execution, by striking out the borso,l% quarter-past five, producing a receipt for the, purewi s money as his authority; his right to do so, howerfi r ' t , Denied, and the matter will, no doubt come Wore i the stewards this day.
