He was quite ready to state that if this course were adopted, ho should not consider the House in any degree pledged to that which had been objected to in the Bill —viz., an absolute renewal of all leases of Church property for ever. He found nothing in the preamble or in the wording of the Bill to prevent the Committee rejecting, or limiting or regulating the claim—if not the right of lessees, in the way most conducive to the interests of th e Ch urch, taking into c insideratien what the Right Rev. Prelate had admitted to be the claims of those who occupied as lessees. He appealed to the Noble Lord on the cross bench whether, if they sent the subject to a Select Com mittee without the power of considering the Bill, it would not be equivalent, if not to a rejection of the Bill, at least to an indefinite postponement of it, and to a taking away of all chance of any progress being made in the question this session. For fifteen years the sub ject hate occupied the consideration of the public gene rally, and of the occupiers under the Church, and of the Church itself in particular, and some settlement of it had been looked forward to by all parties. By sus peeding that settlement the interests of the Church, and also of the lessees, had been deteriorated, because it had been found impossible. to carry on improvements and to develop the resources of the property held by the Church. An expectation of a settlement having been held out, be thought their .Lerdships ought to take the first practical step towards it by sending this Bill to be duly considered by a Committee. He submitted, there fore, on the understanding that the Bill be sent to a Select Committee, that their Lordships should now agree to read it a second time pro forma. The Bishop of OXFORD did not rise to discuss the principle of the Bill, but to move an amendment in ac cordance with the suggestion of the Noble Lord oppo site (Lord Stanley), that a Select Committee be ap pointed to consider how and by ment the capi tu l ar an d episcopal property o f t h e C u what system of mahnarteh might be rend ere d more product i ve o f benefit t o the State, and most con d uc i ve to the spiritual and reasonable of the people, due regar d b e i ng h a d to the just claims of the present holders of Churc h p roperty under the lease or oth erw i se .—(H ea r, hear.) He h ope d, fe reasons stated by the Noble Lord opposite, Marquis, that their Lordships would take this course. The N o bl e . in answ er in g the objection o f the Noble Lord, had re ferred to the preamble, but had omitted to read t h e " qualifying wordswith the modifications as h ere i nafter contained.'' It was des irable t hat the i nterests of all should be duly considered, an d if ; as t he Noble Earl on the cross benches feared, the Bill would not pass this session, he could only assure him that it was one one of those ceses to which the old proverb of "the more haste the worse speed" was very applicable. lie begged to move the amendment. The Earl of CARLISLE opposed the amendment. After the discussions that had taken place—after the general concurrence of opinion with respect to the pro visions of the Bill —after the question had been before t h e public for upwards of tea years, and had been last year the subject of a special report of Commission—and after the Government had introduced a Bill founded upon that report—he did think it was ungracious to re fuse the Bill a second reading. He was astonished that the Right Rev. Prelate for Oxford should have laid any stress on the modifying words in the preamble, since it would be perfectly open to the Committee to say whe ther those words should be struck out of the preamble or not. One must be sanguine, indeed, to suppose that the report of such a Committee as that proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate would dispose of the question. In all probabis 14, if ever such a report came before them, there would be another Select Committee moved for, to consider the Bill, so that the whole question would be postponed. Quite certain that the country would disapprove of the withdrawal of the Bill, be felt bound to give his decided opposition to the amendment. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not rise to speak on the merits of the Bill, but as the Noble Earl had spoken of the second reading of it as a matter of courtesy he wished to recall to their Lordship's recollection what the second reading of a Bill meant. As the oldest mem ber of the House present, he thought he was entitled to offer his opinion that the second reading of a Bill—spite of all understanding and agreements —was an affirmation of the principle of that Bill. He knew it was not alweys easy to explain what the pri nc ipl e o f a B i ll was, but if th e principle or this Bill was as represented by the Right Rev. Prelate, the conversion of leases for life into leases in perpetuity, that would be what they would affirm by reading the Bill a second time. In a Cormnitee they might deal with the provisions of the Bill, but with the principle of it they could not. Earl GREY said the question in this case was, what was the principle of the Bill? His Noble Friend had stated iii the clearest manner that he was willing to take the p:inciple as defined in the first part only of the pre amble, viz., an improved management of Church pro perty with due regard to the just and reasonable claims of persons holding it by lease or otherwise; that was all they w ere to affirm by the second reading. The course proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate (Oxford) would vir tually negative the second reading.—(No, no.) When he eonsideted the extent to which the lessees were suf fering by the present state of things, he thought their Lordships would incur a serious responsibility if they adopted a course which would virtually prevent all legie 'stem on the subject this session. After a f ew wor d s f rom the Archbishop of CANTER. BURY and the Earl of POWIS, both of whom were in , audible, their Lordships divided, Contents ••• ••• Noe-Contents Me jority for the second reading ... —lB The Bill was thee read a second time.

And the Hon. and Gallant Repre sentative of Lincoln gives nightly vent to his indig nation in the House of Commons at the erection of the unholy structure in Hyde -park which, according to his philosophical mind, is frequented by the multi tudinous throng on no higher principle than that which would " collect crowds in any square to look at a dead cat." " Out on ye, owls; nothing but songs of death I" Could it reasonably be expected that such a mar vellous importation of visitors would deluge the metropolis at the very opening of the Exhibitio❑ ? In ninety -nine cases out of a hundred the season tickets have been purchased, and the five shilling entrance money has been paid, by metropolitan resi dents. There are a great number of persons in the habit of paying a visit to the capital for a few weeks in the commencement of summer who have deferred coming up to town in the present season until a re duction takes place in the terms of admission. London is certainly not fuller, indeed not so full at present as it generally is in the month of May, and those who spend two or three hours even amidst the marvellous array of contributions which are piled in mag nificent variety and profusion within the vast edifice, are physically incompetent, as well as mentally disinclined, to devote some further portion of the day to the inspection of many articles of elegance and luxury with which the magazines of our West-end shopkeepers are stored, or to sit out the entertainments provided by the pro ducers of dramatic or spectacular novelties. But this is only a temporary stagnation. The case will be widely different when the stream sets in, which may be expected at its highest flow during the months of July and August. Strangers will find that a single visit to the Exhibition will go for nothing, and that half-a-dozen will be barely sufficient to afford a comprehensive inspection of its countless fascinations. There will doubtless be a system of regulations adopted by the Royal Commissioners with a view to the convenience of the public, which will prevent the building from being overcrowded, and afford en trance daily to but a limited number; a number which, however large, will be but a fraction compared with the multitude desirous of admission. Do the shopkeepers imagine that the masses with whom the thoroughfares will be swarming will walk about with their pockets hermetically buttoned up, and obsti nately deny themselves the gratification of any pur chases of either real or fancied necessaries, or of me mentoes of the season, or of presents to provincial friends ? What are myriads of people, who have no domestic hearths on the banks of the Thames, to do with themselves throughout the evening but to visit our theatres and public gardens, which afford so many and 80 various opportunities for enjoyment at an in considerable expense? And, as it is to be presumed, that this mighty addition to the metropolitan popula tion is so constituted according to the ordinary lot of humanity, that its individual members must not merely supply the exigencies of our common nature by eating and drinking, but by likewise sleeping under cover, it may fairly be inferred that house keepers will not have much reason to complain. Patience, then, good people ; and without antici pating that you are to double your fortunes per saltum, you will ere long participate in the benefits which we augur will generally result from the mag nificent experiment which is the world's wonder.

During the present week the supply of pro 'uce has in creased, and this has led to a withdrawal of orders and a slight reduction in the prices of some staples that were pre viously rather buoyant, including sugar more particularly. The consumption is good, but neither the home nor export orders are so large as they were. The very rapid and serious decline in Cotton has deterred speculators from taking up other products that might appear to otier a temptation. It will be seen that the iodioo auctions have terminated, and the result is not very encou raging. The wool sales progress with tolerable activity, but the prices of the last series are not maintained. Cotton has fallen cor espondingly to the decline at Liverpool. From Ceylon we are apprised of the coffee crops being quite as small as was.antaapated, but large tracts of land are being laid under cultivation. The letters by the West India l%lail steamer have been delivered. The cholera still lingered in Jamaica about the parishes of SL Jai es and Hanover, and at Iron Shore Estate it raged with great malignity. A local paper contains t e following rather unsatisfactory report upon the weather and the crops:— " The weather, particularly in the parish ( f Trelawnv, has been so dry that the crops ate by no means 3 ielding what they were expected to do in an earlier part of the season. In light soils, on some properties iii the interior of the pa rish, the cane leaves have assumed, instead of the rich verdant hue they usually possess at maturity, a pale, faded, or darkish brown colour. This will make, we fear, a sad falling off in the produce of many properties. The young sprouts on rattouning estates are greatly suffering, as well as the manure canes. ma In St. James's the crops look better. The cholera 1 54 having created delay may be considered in some measure as an advantage, in enabling the planter to take off crop. The young plant in dry soils may suffer a little, like the sprouts elsewhere; but they are likely to be benefited atter so long a spell of diy weather, by the old May seasons, which we hope are near at hand. ' April showers' are, it appears, out of fashion • for this somewh at fi c k le month has scarcely yielded a ton Of water to the whole parish.

Mr. G. B. Matthew, the ex-Govern or o f the Bahamas, and present C onsu l of her Britannic Majesty for the States of North and South Carolina, has brought under the notice of the Governor of South Carolina the ci cumstance of the coloured subjects I,f het Majesty arriving in Charleston be ing syst:matically incarcerated in prison, until the departure of the vessel in which they arrived, under a law of the sta. e. This practice has existed for a very considerab e period of time. Mr. Matthew urges the repeal of the Carolina law, on the ground that it is repugnant to the treaty engagements existing between Great Britain and the United States, and the uuderstaudiug that the permanent regulations either of police or for ports of entry for vessels, should ex tend to foreigners the same restrictions they im pose on natives of the spot where they are en forced of a similar class and calling, and • no more. He further contends that, according to the opinion of the late Attorney-General Wirt, the law is void, '• being against the constitution, treaties, and law of the ddbi. Ustted States, ant incompatible with the right s o f a ll nations ia in amity with the United States." We gather from the docu ment before us that it is the intention of the Governor . f south Carolina to transmit Mr. Matthew's communication to the Legislature of that state.

THE DOCKYARD MEN AND THE EXHIBITION.'--- Au order has been promulgated among the workmen in the dockyard this morning to the effect that the period of leave to be granted to them for the purpose of visiting the Great Exhibition of the works of Industry of all na ions is to be extended to six days—the first half of the workmen to pro ceed to London on her Majesty's birthday, returning on the Friday following, and the second half to proceed on the anni versary of her Majesty's coronation. The Admiral has inti mated to the men that in case the fares of the railway are not reduced to what may be considered a low figure, he will place a vessel at their disposal for the purpose of conveying them to the metropolis.—Portsmouth Guardian. SPURIOUS TRA.—Mr. Stevens, a respectable trades? man, was fined 250/., on Tuesday last, by the Liverpool ma• gistrates for manufacturing an article called tea, from the leaves of beech and plane trees.

This return shows that the total cost of the relief of the poor for the last half-year amounted to 1,679,4294, being a de cressa of 140,4334 er 7.7 per cent., as compared with the cost of relief for the corresponding half-year in 1849-50.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The question of the revision of the Constitution is dis cussed in all the journals. The Presse gives the following account of a conversa tion in the Assembly on this topic:-- " The 28th May is drawing nigh, and on that day the Assembly, having entered on the third year of its existence, can entertain the question of revising the Constitution. In that prevision, perfectly legal, MM. Moulin and Morin had presented a proposition having for object to regulate the manner in which all applications to revise the Constitution are to be examined. M. Godelle moved yesterday that this proposition should be brought iorwardfor discussion this day. General Cavaignac opposed that course as illegal, but the ma jority of the Assembly declared against him. We attach no importance to that decision. For us, the question does not relate either to tricks or to po'itical stratagems, or to the manner of proceeding. It is quite indifferent to us what for malities the Assembly may think fit to employ for the pur pose of examining any proposition for revision. We shall never have but one reply to make to all such propositions, a reply clear, straightforward, and simple, to which the friends of reaction can find nothing to reply, in whatever manner the battle is engaged. That reply is—No revision without the repeal of the law of May 31. However the struggle may be conducted, such is the right, such the truth I" The Committee charged to examine tne proposition of M. CHAPOT, relative to the right of petition, assembled yesterday. Among the clauses adopted by the Com mittee is one which interdicts women and minors from signing petitions, except on affairs concerning them selves personally. M.

We read in the Bulletin de Paris:— " The French Government has just addressed detailed in structions to General Getneati, relative to the aggressions against the French soldiers at Rome. It is recommended among other things that the officers and privates shall only appear publicly in rattier numerous bodies, so as to be in no danger of assassination, and that in the event of insult or ag gression they shall enforce respect by vigorous action."

It will be composed of picked troops from the corps d'armle of Moravia, Silesia, Bohemia, and Upper Austria. Several Generals have already gone to inspect the troops. We have already stated that BACRONINE had been condemned to impri sonment for life; the truth is that he had been eo n . demned to death, but the EMPEROR commuted the sen. fence. He has already left Olmutz." The New Gazette of l'Odef states that M. Becico- NINE was delivered up on the 17th to the Russian au• thorities near Miglowitz.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last evening was one of the delightful " long Thursdays," and long before the commencement of the performances every nook and corner from which a sight of the stage could be commanded was occupied. It was the first performance this season of the most brilliant, moat delightful, and most effervescing of operas, Il Barbijre, and the cast was amazingly strong. Madame Sontair, who was in ex cellent voice and spirits, was the Rosins, and sang the " Una Voce" and the Rode's air with variations with, if Possible, increased brilliancy, creating a complete furore. Both these pieces were of course redemanded. Lablache was the Doctor Bartolo, and we were glad to perceive that his recent indisposition had not deprived bins of one jot of his unctuously rich humour, or of his mar- vellous activity. Signor Ferranti appeared for the first tim e as Fi garo, and gave an admirable version of the p ar t ; F erranti is what we very seldom see on the Italian stage in these northern climes, a par ercellence Italian buffo, thoroughly impregnated with the restless activity and mischievous love of fun which is so characteris tics of the buffh of It a li an opera. His performance wa most amusing, and bis singing worthy of all praise for its admir ble correctness and its purity of intonation. Signor Casanova was the Basilio, and gave "La Cal mnia," which we are glad to see restored to its place in the opera, in magnificent style. Calzolari made a sprightly and viva cious Almivava, and sang the music with great taste and sweetness. The opera was preceded by the second and third acts of La Muta di Portici, in which the acting of Monti and the singing of Pardiisi andiMassol were superb. Between the acts of the Barbiare, Carlotta Grisi danced the Truan daise, and after the opera there was the divertissement of the Cosmopolites. We understand that it is the intention of Mr. Lumley to open Her Majesty's Theatre on the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for Soirees Extraordinaires, and certainly the crowded state of the house on the nights of the regular performance (on the night of Tuesday, and again last night, for example), not only justify, but almost demand of him the adoption of some such plan for the gratification of those strangers at present in London, who are anxious to avail themselves of perhaps the only opportunity they may ever have of visiting the first lyrical establishment in the world. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by the Baroness do Speth, went to Frogniore yesterday morning, and returned to her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, in the afternoon. Her Royal Highness, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince of Lei ningen, and attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Sir George Conner, and Lord James Murray, honoured the Princess's Theatre with her presence last evening. A deputation to urge the repeal of the present receipt stamp tax, or for its reduction to an uniform rate of one penny, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence, Downing.. street. The deputation consisted of Mr. Brotherton, MT., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Messrs. Bradbury, Schofield, klackblock, Sim, ard Christy. The Right Honourable Fox Maule gave a dinner to the Cabinet Ministers on Wednesday, at his residence, Che sham-place. Mr. Tollemache, M.P., and a numerous deputation had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. The Rev. Dr. Rogerson had an interview with Earl Grey at the Colonial. office, yesterday. HEE MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY. — To-morrow her Majesty enters her 32d year (which is her natal day, having been burn on the 24th of May, 1819), but the anniversary will not be celebrated until Saturday, the 31st instant, at Court and in the metropolis, so that the usual national de monstrations on this auspicious occasion (illuminations, &c.), will not be made until next week, when it will be observed as a holiday at the Custom-house and dock companies, the Excise and Stamp offices (which will also be closed on Thursday next, the 29th instant—Ascension-day, Whit Monday and Tuesday, 9th and 10th of June), all the dif ferent public depa.tments at the West-end, King's and Uni • versity College; and the different public schools in the me tropolis and v icinity—Christchurch, Chelsea, Greenwich, Woolwich, &c.

The whole of the outer basement and deal-skirting which but now presented a raw and cold surface has, as if by the ma gician's wand, become a highly granulated wood, of a rich and cheerful hue, This has been effected by a most simple aid—a stain for wood, invented by a Mr. Stephens, of Stam ford-street, which, while it brings up and preserves the na tural vein, converts even the softest-working wood into an enduring and hand-orne material, and thus altogether dis pensing with tediaue, expensive, and artificial graining. The doors of the Crystal Palace are similarly treated, and being on a better planed and more choice description of wood, exemplify the capabilities of this facile application in a very satisfactory manner. —Morning Herald. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. —Lord Belhaven, the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly, arrived in Edinburgh on Wednesday. There being, as last year, no access to the Royal apartments in Holyrood Palace, lila Lord ship is, during thecontinuance of the Assembly, to reside at leo, George-street. The Lord Provost and magistrates, to gether with the treasurer, the Dean of Guild, and the Con venor of the Trades, dined with his Lordship in the after noon, on which occasion the usual ceremony took place of presenting him, as the representa ive of her Majesty, with the keys of the city. Yesterday (Thursday) his Lordship was to proceed in his private carriage from his residence in George-street, along Princes -street, by the North-bridge to the County-hall in the High-street, where he was to hold the usual pre irainary levee. A large party were to dine with his Lordship at Barry's Hotel, Queen -street, at the con clusion of the business in the General Assembly yesterday ; and a drawing-room, we understand, was also to be held. A second levee is to take place in the County Hall on Saturday. CAVALRY REGIMENT FOR THE CAPE.—There is no longer any doubt that a cavalry regiment will shortly be ordered to the Cape, and take up the troopers of the dis mounted Riflemen, orders having been issued to many cavalry corps now at home to suspend the purchasing of their remounts, as the horses of the regiment ordered out will be distributed among the cavalry regiments requir ing horses. As is customary upon these occasions, many reports are in circulation as to which is to be the regi ment selected for this service, and that which finds most sup port is either the 12th Lancers or the 3d Dragoon Guards. We incline to the former, as heavy cav a l r y h as a l ready been tried at the Cap e . The blue ' jacket will nut be so conspicuous as the red coat was, and the lance will be a new feature, not only of great service, but in all probability tending by its appearance alone to strike terror into the minds of these half civilized hordes. The regiment ordered to the Cape will not proceed to India, as the expense of conveying them thence from ;be Cape would be greater than conveying a corps from England, as in both cases the transports would have to sail from home.

Cabs' Copper Mine, 3 tg94 Lontol, tat etterthlll AtIL LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 185 In the House of Lords last night, The Property -tax Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management Bill. The provisions of the Bill embodied the recommenda tions contained in the reports of the Commissioners presented last year, and if the second reading were car ried he should propose that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. The Bishop of LONDON opposed the Bill. Tha Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of HARROWBY recommended that it should be read a second time, in order to be referred to a Select Committee, a recom mendation in which Lord STANLEY concurred. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH opposed the second reading of the Bill. A conversation followed, in which the Mar quis of LANSDOWNE, the Bishcp of OXFORD, the Earl of ABERDEEN. and several other Peers took part, and on a division the second reading was carried by a ma jority of eighteen, the numbers being—Contents, 46; Non•contents, 28. In the Commons, New writs were ordered for Newry and Argyllshire, Mr. EWART moved the following resolution:—" That it is expedient that the investigations which have been made in the laws inflicting capital punishment in England be extended to Scotland, and (as far as possible) to the colonial possessions of this country." Mr. Fox MAIILE and Sir GEORGE GREY agreed with the spirit of the resolution, but leered difficulties would be found in carrying it into effect. Mr. HUME expressed a hope that Government would take up the subject; and Mr. HAWES explAined the practice in the colonies. Ul tim , tely the motion was withdrawn. Mr. W. J. Fox moved, "That it is expedient to pro mote the education of the people in England and Walea by the establishment of free schools for secular instruc tion, to be supported by local rates, and managed by committees, elected specially for that purpose by the ratepayers. Sir GEORGE GREY opposed the motion. Mr. HUSIE thought the property of the country was bound to afford education to those who wanted it. Mr. A. B. HOPE was opposed to all schemes of educa tion that did not give the utmost development to religi ous opinions. Colonel THOMPSON asked, why mix up religious in struction with matters with which it had no necessary connexion? Was it absolutely impossible that boys and girls should be taught to read and the like without teaching them religious dogmas at the same time? Mr. TRELAWNY looked upon sound instruction as affording an additional check against crime. Even on the ground of economy the motion ought to be adopted. Mr. W. PATTEN opposed the motion. Mr. WicnAm did not think the necessity of the lower orders a reason for adopting a general scheme of edu cation. Mr. ADDERLEY considered the advantages of ,the pro position obvious, and the necessity equally plain. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended that no system of education could be complete that did not include reli gious superintendence. Mr. COBDEN wished to keep scholastic education to its proper ground, and that was secular training. _ Sir R. H.
