(Before Vice-Chancellor Gifford.) LYON V. HOME. Mr. Mathews resumed his address on behalf of the defendant, and contended that his client could not be convicted of fraud unless it was proved against him. He did not deny that Home was a visionary, and that his own evidence could only be taken with qualification, but, bearing that in mind, he asked the court to consider what his conduct had been all through the matter. The question was not whether he bad been high minded, indelicate, or improper—that was all foreign to the mater in dispute. The plaintiff had first sought the defendant out—she bad loaded him with gifts loaded him with demonstrations of affection ; and if it was asked why he had borne all that the answer was ready. Home had not only children dependent upon him, but he had a father and sisters, and to a person in his position at that time, which was that of hono urable poverty, it was hard to say that the acceptation of the proffered gifts was not a very extraordinary proceeding. The plaintiff continued her gifts, and to s uc h an extent that she insisted on the defendant assum ing her name, and finally she adopted him as her Lou. It should not be said that the defendant had not made some sacrifices, because he had forfeited his liberty to a great extent by theattention bestowed upon the plaintiff, and he could not but think it was hard and unjust that the letter of 17th June should be turned against him. There had been nothing in the case that bad thrown discredit upon the defen dant, and be asked the court to pause before it pro nounced him guilty of the fraud imputed to him. The learned gentleman was followed by Mr. Lushington on the same side, but from the array l i of counsel engaged, it will be some days before the Vice-Chancellor will be called upon to give his de cision in the matter. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE CASE OF MR. EYRE, LATE GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA. This morning, in this court, Sir R. Collier, on behalf of a body of individuals styling themselves the Jamaica Committee, and whose object it is to prose cute ex-Governor Eyre fur alleged excess of his official functions in Jamaica, and who are re presented by Mr. J. S.,Mill, M.P., and Mr. Peter Taylor, applied for a rule nisi to show cause why a mandamus should' pot issue against Mr. Vaughan, the police maggrlre, to show cause why be ob jected to the further hearing of the summons which he had previously granted against Mr. Eyre. It appeared that an application had been made to Mr. Vaughan, and from the arguments adduced he had granted a summons against Mr. Eyre, on the ground of misdemeanour, under the statute 11th and 12th Vict. On the occasion of its coming on for hearing, although Mr. Eyre attended in obedience to it, Mr. Vaughan said he had some diffi culty in going on with the case, and that he consi dered that it was necessary that an order should be obtained from a court of Oyer and Terminer, ac cording to one of the clauses of the statute under which he acted. These were the 11th and 12th Will. 111., cap. 12, and 42d Geo. 111., cap. 85, and the 11th and 12th Vict. It was suggested that a difficulty arose, as he doubted whether the Court of Queen's Bench was a court of Oyer and Terminer. Sir Robert Collier now applied on these grounds for a rule nisi for a mandamus. The Lord Chief Justice said that if he wanted a rule nisi he could have one. Rule nisi granted accordingly. ONE OF THE CHRISTY 111INSTRELS AND "PICKLES." Ai the WestminsTerOurt, this day, Mr. John Rawlinson, one of the Christy Minstrels, was charged with assaulting Frederick Pickles, a cab man. The latter also charged Mr. Duncan Scott, the proprietor of the Queen's Elm Tavern, Bromp ton, with assaulting him, and the defendants in their turn also charged Pickles. The cabman was first sworn, and said that ho carried Mr. Rawlinson from the Haymarket at one this morning to the Queen's Elm, where he paid him is. 6d. Complainant demanded more, when he refused to give it him, and striking him on the shoulder forced him against his cab. Mr. Rawlinson then called to Mr. Duncan Scott, and he came down, attacked the driver, and dragged him into his house, whereby his clothes were torn, and he lost 7s. out of his pocket. Mr. Rawlinson said he paid the driver his fare, and afterwards, to satisfy him fully, gave him some postage stamps. Ile was still dissatisfied, and knocked him down twice, cutting his mouth severely inside. Mr. Scott said that he was abed, and hearing a disturbance, got up and saw Mr. Rawlinson being ill-used. He went down to his assistance, and was remonstrating with the cabman when the latter at tacked him, and, assisted by another cabman, three or four of whom had congregated, blackened his eye, and cut his nose. He never struck the driver at all. Mr. Rawlinson also proved that he never in any way assaulted the cabman. Mr. Henry Vincent, actor, proved hearing Pickles declare " he would take it out of Mr. Raw• linson." He saw him knock Mr. Rawlinson down twice. The assembled cabmen recommended " punching." Witness saw them pull Mr. Scott from his house, and Pickles assault him. Mr. George Washington Moore, proprietor of the Christy Minstrels, proved being called at four o'clock this morning to the station, where he found Mr. Rawlinson, who complained of shameful treat ment. The cabman called a witness to support his state ment, and said that there was a gentleman who had given his address at the station. Mr. Elliott fined the cabman 405., and in de.. fault 20 days. his charge was dismissed. Some time after this decision, it was stated that the police had heard of a witness who had seen the whole occurrence. Mr. Elliott said that, under these circumstances, he would adjourn the case to see if he would attend. M. THIERS eutered ou his seventy-second year on the 13th instant. A SUITABLE ROYAL MARRIAGE iS spoken of in fashionable cirlos in Madrid, naulely, that of the eldest daughter of the Queen of Spain and the second son of Don Juan de Bourbon. DEAII STANLEY, it is stated, has invited Father Ignatius, otherwise the Rev. J. Leycester Lyne, to preach one of the special Sunday evening services in the nave of Westminster Abb,iy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GENTLEMEN AND THE POLICE.-Mr. Chao. Grif fiths, of 38, Worcester-street, St. George's-square, and Mr. Lenard, of 1, Oakley-square, all described as gentlemen, were charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in Wateiloo pl ace. From the evidence of Rittman, 230 C, and Crabb, IG3 C, it appeared that at about half-past one that morning they were trying to di:T:l.3e a crowd in Regent -street caused by two females fighting, when the prisoner came up and interfered with them, and hustled them, and one of the prisoner? also tried to trij up one of the constables. In answer to Mr. Knox Rittman said the pri soners were cot drunk, but very troublesome. In their defence the prisoners said that seeing a crowd they went up to ascertain thJ cause when they were pushed into the crowd, and might have been pushed against the police, but they would be sorry to interfere with them in the execu tion of their duty. Mr. Knox said persons of the prisoners appear ance ought to have lent the police a hand—the police at all times having a troublesome duty to perform--instead of going against them. As the prisoners had been locked up some time he would not impose a fine, but order them to enter into their recognisances to keep the peace. DESTROYING CLOTHING IN A WORKHOUSE. — Three women, named Maria Taylor, Mary Ann Sturgeon, and Mary Ann lluggin, were charged with destroying their clothing while casual inmates of St. James's Workhouse. In answer to the chare the prisoners said their clothes were only rags and very dirty. Mr. Knox committed them for 21 days each. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE Tx I EF.—Margaret Wilson, an old and dissipated-looking woman, who owned to 50 years of age, but appeared to be 80 at least, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Enios Parrott, of No. 6, Spectacle-alley, Whitechapel. The prisoner deliberately unfastened the boots exposed for sale in front of Mr. Parrott's shop, and walked away with them. The prosecutor and his wife and daughter all saw the robbery committed. Mr. Parrott went in pursuit of the prisoner, and upon overtaking her asked her for the boots. She then threw them at him, and she was given into custody. The prisoner, who is very feeble from gin and dissipation, said she took the boots and was sorry for it. Mr. Benson—A most impudent robbery, and I am afraid it is not the first one you have com mate]. The Prisoner—l only had two months' imprison ment some time ago for a little thing. Mr. Benson—How many more convictions ara there against you ? Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that the pri soner had passed through his hands a great many times. Mr. Benson said he should on this occasion dis pose of the case summarily, but if the prisoner was brought before him ag and a case was made out he should commit her for trial. lie sentenced her to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. EXECUTION OF BISHOP, THE SY DENHAM MURDERER.-(TIIIS £UY.) (By Electric Telegraph.) MAIDSTONE, Thursday, Noon. fhe unhappy man, Richard Bishop, who was tried and convicted at the late Central Criminal Court Sessions for the wilful murder of Alfred Cartwright, on the night of the 2d instant, in the Hamlet of Sydenham, in the County of Kent, has just expiated his crime upon the gal lows. The unhappy man, it will be remembered on the night in question was in a state of intoxication, and onntnenced making a disturb ance in the village, more especially at the door of the deceased's house. For that offence, and his un - willingness to leave when desireJ, the murdered man gave him into the custody of the police, and whilst he was being taken t. the station-house he drew a knife and fatally wounded Cartwright. The culprit was at once taken before the magistrate and committed on the capital charge. At the inquest some surprise was manifested by the coroner and jury at the speedy way the man was convicted, but as the grand jury were then sitting there ap peared no other alternative but that the inquest should be proceeded with, to enable the witnesses to be examined by the said grand jury. A true bill was found, and the wretched man had his trial, and was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Since his condemnation he has frequently acknow ledged the justice of his sentence, but maintained that he knew nothing of what he did, as he was then mad drunk. There were apparently several things in favour of the culprit why the fall sentence of the law should not be carried out ; and Mr. H. Pook, the well-known solicitor of Lawrence Pount ney Hill, City, has been unremitting in his exer tions to obtain, if possible, a commutation of the capital sentence. In answer to a communication sent to the Home-office, in which he set forth the claims the criminal had for a mitigation of the sen tence he received the following Whitehall, April 28, 1868. Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Hardy to ac quaint you that having carefully considered the case of Richard Bishop, on whose behalf you applied to him, he regrets that he can see no sufficient ground to justify him in advising her Majesty's interference with the due course of the am , s ir, your obedient servant, A. F. 0. LIDDELL. To H. Pook, Esq." The unhappy culprit received the sad news with apparent resignation, and frequently spoke of the distress the family of the deceased had been plunged into by his drunkenness. At the appointed time the unfortunate criminal mounted the scaf fold, with his eyes turned downward, and in a second or two he was no more in this world. It is satisfactory to state that a subscription is being got up for the support of the family of the mur dered man. Rewards amounting in all to nearly £2,000 are offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mr. Fetherstonehaugh, of Westmeath. The landed pro prietors of the county have contributed a large por tion of the sum. Three men arrested on suspicion are now in Mullingar gaol, two of them being tenants on the estate, and one a servant-boy of a farmer. A new gunboat, the Lynx, has been launched from a building yard in Belfast, and the local papers praise Mr. Corry, First Lord of the Admiralty, for having been the first to give Ireland a share in the construction of the naval architecture of the coun try. Sir James Emerson Tennent was present at a dejeuner which followed, and hoped the Lynx was the first of a long series of ships for the Imperial navy to be built at Belfast. TIIE IRISH CHERCII.--DEPTFORD.—Last week a meeting of the supporters Cl the Irish Established Church, admission by ticket imposing certain conditions, was held in the Lecture all, Deptford, the Rev. Mr. Money, of St John's, in the chair. The resolutions at that meeting were. keenly opposed and narrowly escaped defeat. Last night a "public meeting" was held in the same hall, admission absolutely free and unconditional. Tho hall was crowded half-au-hour before the chair was taken by Mr. J. E. Saunders, common councillor. Resolutions wore submitted approving of the proposed disestablishment of the Irish Church, and adopting a petition to the House of Commons in accordance with the resolutions. The speakers were Win. Angerstoin, Esq., late member for Greenwich; Mr. Marehaut, Mr. :Spacer, Mr. Prke, Mr. Baxter Langley, and the Revs. John Pulling, George Mar tin, and Alex. King. The resolutions wore adopted unanimously with great enthusiasm, without any amend ment having been even proposed. During the progress of the meeting in the hall another very large meeting was held in the open air, which was addressed by Mr. Baxter Langley, and at which the same resolutions wore adopted without a single dissentient. DoWN WEST.—In the recent Schools Inquiry a schedule of questicns was sent to masters and mistresses of private schools, but it was not always possible tl get the schedule filled up, even when verbal information was readily given and an examination of the school allowed. A schoolmaster in the west of England positively declined to commit himself to writing, because there was no know ing what a long-headed chap like Mr. Gladstone might do if ho got hold of the returns." EVENING, APRIL 30, 1868. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMALIKE EiEST SPICING MEETING. WEDNESDAY. For an off day, yesterday's racing presented some very attractive features, and a well filled card produced some excellent sport. At the Rooms in the morning there was some animated business over the Ono Thousand Guineas and the Chester Cup, more especially with regard to For mosa for the former event, odds of 5 to 4 being at last laid on her ; the only others really backed being Lady Coven try at 7 to 2, Franchise at 100 to 15, and Athena at 8 to 1. Green Sleeve's running in the Two Thousand was evi dently looked u, on as having settled her pretensions for the Dutch Mile race, inasmuch as she receded to 100 to 7 offered, and Virtue was quite friendless at 20 to 1, although 25 to 1 would have been occasionally booked about her. For the Chester Cup Paul Jones remained the hero of the hour, and nothing else would go down with backers, who took as little as 4 t) 1 so readily about him that layers soon got tired of conceding the price. Lady Eliza beth and Rosicrucian still retained the firm po sitions of the previous evening, 3 to 1 being taken about the former, and 7to 1 about the latter. Blue Gown was occasionally invested on ut 100 to 8; but Sir Joseph's third st , ing,,Gfeen Sleeve, was altogether unmen tioned. The movement in favour of the Tom Bowline colt was still pursued with considerable vigour, and from 100 to 8 Lord Glasgow's representative at last advanced to 10 to 1, and Speculum was likewise in undiminished force at the quoted price. Although fine overhead, the strong wind that had proved so disagreeable on the Two Thousand day still militated against the comfort of the greatly reduced number of visitors on the Heath. The opening race of the day—the Four Year Old Sweepstakes, over the Rowley mile —was, although reduced to a match, interesting, as bearing directly on the Chester Cup. The two runners were °wain Glendwr and Viridis, the latter of whom, it will be recollected, was at once "spotted" when the weights appeared for the Cestrian event, as being so well in as to cause her to be made, for a time, a prominent favourite. Her purchase, for the large sum of 2,000 guineas, at the Duke of Beaufort's sale, by Mr. Ben nett, the owner of Dalby, the most prominent favourite until the recent sudden advent of Paul Jones, caused her temporary retirement; and now her defeat by 0 wain would appear to have altogether settled her pretensions, as little as 100 to 6 being taken about Sir R. Bulkeley's horse after the race. The Prince of Wales's Stakes proved the certainty it looked for Taraban ; and the victory of Uncas for the Three-year-old Sweepstakes was another real good thing for the backers, his performance being looked upon as materially enhancing his Derby chance. A surprise was, however, in store for the talent in the defeat of St. Ronan, by Suffolk, fur the Sweepstakes over the Ditch mile. On the strength of Mr. Chapliu's colt's running in the Two Thousand, and also from the poor figure cut by Suffolk recently, odds of 6 to 4 were laid on St. Ronan; but ho was beaten from end to end by the Baron's colt, thus proving that he only landed the place bets of his owner and party for the Guineas on sufferance. The great event of the day was the match between Julius and The Hermit, which caused an immense amount of excitement, and produced some heavy wagering. From the "near thing" that The Hermit made of it with Julius in the Craven week, when the Derby winner was con ceding 71bs to his antagonist, the friends of the former were extremely sanguine, as Julius had now 11b the went of the weight. It was a very nice point as to which was favourite, but Julius loft off slightly the more fancied of the two, and he again won, this tune very easily, The Hermit most unmistakeably cutting it at last. Beyond calling attention to the hollow manner in which Blue Gown cut down Leonie in the last race of the day, which will go far to increase Sir Joseph Hawley's popularity for the Derby, the remainder of the racing sufficiently tells its own tale.

The Third E lition of " The Su3" of last evening, con taining the Races at Newmarket and Latest Batting, was published in time for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. THIRD EDITiON. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. THE FENT, I.V TRIALS. (Co;•timed from 0, First The Solicitjr-General .having replied oa the whole case, His Lordship, iu his remarks to the jury, con tended that the existence of the F'enian conspiracy, and the prisoner's connectbn with it, had been clearly established by the evidence that had been adduced during the trial. Not a word of the learned Solicitor-General's ad dress was lost by Burke, who occasionally started from his scat to jot down a note or two on the memorandum paper placed on the ledge of the dock before him. Daring a portion of the speech he leant over the rail with his head resting on one hand and gazed intently at the learned counsel, smiling scornfully at some of the more pointed re ferences made to himself. The jury retired to consider the verdict at ten minutes past five, and returned into court after an absence of twenty minutes. They found both Burke and Shaw guilty. Burke, when asked if had anything to say why sentence should not pass, expressed his gratitude for the kindness he had received in prison from all the officials, and stated that he was not surprised at the conclusion arrived at. No twelve sensible men could have come to any other issue. He was commenting on the course taken by the prosecution, when he was interrupted by Mr. Baron Bramwell, who said he could only be allowed to speak in arrest of judgment, or in mitigation of punishment. lie denied that he was an Irishman. He owed no allegiance to her Majesty beyond respect, and that he had never refused to any of her sex. The prisoner was about to impugn the justice of the learned judge, when Mr. Baron Bramwell again sternly interposed and sentenced Burke to fifteen years' penal servitude, and Shaw to seven years. Shaw was removed from the dock saying he knew when he came from Ireland he should not have justice done him, and also said, " I could do it in 20 years more for " Old Ireland." IMPERIAL FARM AXENT • HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS E VENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR touk his seat ou the Woolsack at five o'clock. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. The Earl RUSSELL said that he had already stated that althou g h h e did n o t think it no ces;ary, still he would adopt the a mendment of the Lord P r i vy Seal, and Would consent to a select committee, and that he now moved. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that by the bill being moved to a select committee, it would make a better bill of it in every respect. Lord LYVEDEN was perfectly sure that this bill was a good one, and therefore was sorry that it was not to be argued in open court, where every point fo r an d against the bill might be made public. He therefore objected to this bill being referred to a select committee. His opinion was that the bill was ono for Churchmen, and that for the sake of the Church church-rates ought to be abolished. As for Nonconformists he did not take them into conside ration, for all of them were bound to bow to a majo rity ; but in every vestry in England they had become a religious question, and therefore be thou g ht th ey ought to be abolished. The present bill brought before a com mittee he did not think would carry out the re f orm neces sary iu its integrity, and it might end in a r e j ect i on o f the bill, which ho thought would be an i njury to the church. He wanted it distinctly to b 3 understood by the public that there was no reason in the matter. The Duke of RICHMOND considered that the noble lord misunderstood what would be the result of tle cOin mittee. It appeared that the noble lord thought that if the bill were referred to a select committee it would make the public out of doors consider that that house were in capable of dealing with the question. He ventured, how ever, to think that a select committee of their lordship's house would be a better tribunal than if it were brought before the whole house. The noble seemed to think that the purpose was to smother the bill, but he, on behalf cf the Government, could say that it would only tend to elucidate more clearly all the points. of the bill. For that reason he was glad that it should be referred to a select committee. The Duke of SOITERSET said that it appeared that the bill was referred to a select committee for two points to be discussed, and therefore there was no reason why they should in committee go into the general question of the abolition of church rates or not. The EArl of AI.A.I.MESDURY said that it was not a Government giE.stion, and ho could hardly s:ly whether the general queition should be discussed or not. The motion was then agreed Ito. OYSTER AND MUSSELL FISHERY BILL. This bill was committed and pas•ed. - LEGITIMACY DECLARATION (IRELAND) BILL. The Commons' amendtmmts wen.) a >mod to. PETITION BILL. This bill was read a third time and Pissed. The Local Government (Supplemental) Bill was con sidered and passed. The Prisons (Compensation to Officers) Bill was road a third time. The Patty Sessions and Lock-up House Bill was read a second time. POOR RELIEF BILL. On the motion of tho Earl of DEVON the name of the Earl of Stradbroke was added to the select committee on this bill. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OP COADIONS—Tuis EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. Miles, Mr. Welsh, Mr. Welby, and Mr. Turner took the oath and their seats. FUEL FOR STEAMSHIPS. In reply to Mr. HEADLAM, Lord G. LENNOX said the reason that north country coals were excluded from the recent contracts issued by the Admiralty was because smokeless Welsh coal was considered the best for steaming purposes by the com manders on foreign stations. OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE THAMES. In reply to Mr. HARDcAsTLE, Mr. CAVE said the piles in the river near the Hunger ford-bridge belonged to the Waterloo and Whitehall Railway, which was at present at a stand-still for want of funds. The company had, however, this session applied for an extension of time; at the same time the company had applied for an extension of time for the con struction of their works until 1870, stating that all the works over the river would be completed by that time. If not the Thames Conservancy would have power to remove the obstructions at that time, the power of removing the obstruction, which belonged to the proposed Albert-bridge, and the power to remove which did not arise until 1869. THE CONVICT BARRETT. Mr. REARDEN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to recommend to the Crown the respiting of the pri soner Michael Barrett, against whom a verdict of guilty was returned by the jury, and sentence of death passed by the judge on his trial at the Old Bailey on the 27th inst., notwithstanding the sworn testimony of six wit nesses, who proved that the prisoner was not in England at the time the crime was committed for which ho has been found guilty, in order to afford the prisoner an op portunity of producing further evidence to establish his innocence. Mr. HARDY said he regretted that any member of tho house should have felt it his duty to put such a question to him. (Hoar, hear.) He should decline to answer it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. REARDEN then gave notice that he should call the attention of the house to the subject on Monday next. THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. In reply to Sir P. O'BRIEN, Sir J. PAKINGTON said the delay in filling up the vacancy in the Coldstream Guards in succession to Lieut.- Colonel Clive was not connected with any intention to reduce the number of officers, but by the non-qualification by service of a number of ensigns in the regiment.

LANYON asked the right hon. member for South Lancashire whether, when he presented a petition on the 27th inst. from the Presbytery of Antrim, in favour of his resolutions, and against the further grant of the Regium Donum, he was aware that said presbytery was altogether unconnected with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, and that the said Pres bytery was altogether an Unitarian body, and did not re present the feelings of the Presbyterians of the General Assembly of Ireland. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed his surprise at such a question being put to him. Ho should not say whether or not he was aware of the matter referred to, but he believed he had correctly described the body petitioning, viz., the non-subscribing Presbytery of Antrim. (Hear, hear.) A On the motion for going into committee on the resolu tions moved by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. SURTEES moved that the clerk at the table read the words of the Roman Catholic oath as they existed before the alteration in 1866. (Loud cheers and cries of " No, no.") Mr. BOUVERIE and Mr. GLADSTONE rose together amidst great excitement in the house, when there were loud cries for the latter. Mr. BOUVER[E refused to give way. Ho said he did not think it was competent according to the rules of the house to move that certain words of an act that had been repealed should be read by the clerk . at the table. (Loud cries of "Hew-, hear.") Mr. GLADSTONE moved a direct negative to the mo tion of the hon. gentleman (\lr. S ur tees). (Lou I cheers, and cries of " Chair, char.") would a S p 1 1: 1 E y A t o K t remained with the tlio s th the alteration, yet the questi on that ta•es E h e l L p ' e a r i s ti o persons h thoughtli had n w in i o t a r i at d the of t I t l i c m o e l of house was, whether the pres ent time w itg it.

(Ch eer s, cries ofN citement.) Mr. DISRAELI hoped his hon. friend would not per severe iu his motion. If he wished to refer to an his torical document which had now become obsolete, he could do so in his speech. (Cheers.) It could serve no good purpose by his insisting on the words being read. (Cheers.) Mr. STAITEES said, after the intimation from the Speaker that he considered the words still binding he should withdraw the motion. ("No, no," and calls for a division.) The S PEAKER, however, put the question, when it was negatived by an innnense majority of "noes," fol lowed by lend cheering. The adjourned debate was than resumed Sir M. BEECH argued against the motion for dis encicrwinent, but admitted the present. dietribudon of the revenues of the Church was unjust, }fa thcugbt that the late eleetioue, especially Bristol, showed that the people were not in favour of the preposition of the right hen. gentleman opposite, bnause hai such been the ce-se; s. person pledged to support the Church in Ireland would not have been returned. Sir C. O'LOUGIILIN said, whatever was said of the Irish members, it coutd not be aleged that th"y had con - tributed to the length of the present debate. As it was the great desire that the division should be taken that evening he should now occupy the attention of the lions° but a very few minutes. He thought the matter had been virtually decided, when the motion was car ried for going into committee, and that the gentlemen who now occupied the Treasury Bench were not, in fact, the governing power of the county, but that they were in truth the Opposition. (Hear.) It could not be said that the result of the division was owing to the assistance of either the Irish or Scotch members, it was a majority composed of all parties, English, Irish, and Scotch. (Hear, hear.) If the division list was referred to it would be found that 240 English members voted for the proposition of the right hon. gentleman the member fur South Lancashire, and only 212 for her Majesty's Government. (Hear.) There were 37 Scotch membgrs for and only 13 against going into committee, and with respect to the Irish members there were 54 against and only 45 in favour of the procrastinating policy of the .Government.

The sale of mutton was tolerably steady, and rates firm; but lamb was more difficult of dis posal, and prices tended in buyers' favour. The veal trade was depressed, and the demand very sloggish. 227 calves from abroad. No quotable change in pork, and the demand moderate No foreign arrivals.

UGAR. —The extensive transactions of yesterday have materially lessened the supplies on offer, and the market opens with increased firmness, while the inquiry both on the spot and for floating cargoes continues active.

Extra exertion has been lately used with a view to au early close of the Commis sioners' labours, and report says that their recommenda tions will largely cut at the root of anomalies and abuses in the Establishment.— The Owl.
