more than answered the right hon. gentleman. He would, however, state again that as long as the property of a per son dying abroad was administered abroad it would not be subject to duty. Mr. MULLINGS said that the holders of heritable bonds in Scotland, who were in precisely the same position as mortgagees in England, would be taxed more lightly than the latter class ; he therefore moved an amendment, having for its object the placing of these two classes on an equality. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the holders of heritable bonds were in a different position from mort gagees in England. Tbe amendment was negatived without a division, and the clause agreed to. Upon clause 2, Mr. MULLINGS moved the omission of the words " past or future," because he contended that, as it stood, the clause had a retrospective effect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. Mullings) had put a case with great fairness, which raised a broad principle of opposition to the present bill. He (Mr. Mullings) said that the house had no right to pass this bill, by which he meant, of course, that it had no right, consistently with equitab l e considerations, to pass a bill having a retrospective opera tion. Without, then, quarrelling with the terms the hon. member had used, or questioning the propriety of them, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would proceed to an swer the argument. The hon. and learned gentleman said that all settlements and that all titles to property already existing, by or under which a future disposition not iu contravention of existing law, ought to be saved from the operation of the bill. The right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich (Sir J. Pakington) adverted to this subject on a former night, and misstated the manner in which he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had explained the views of the Government. He (Sir J. Pakington) said that it had been stated as the only reason of Government for de clining to agree to the bill, and the basis of this exception was that they could not afford it. The memory of the right hon. baronet must have been short, for he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) had stated another and a more important reason, to which he still adhered. He (the • Chancellor of the Exchequer) utterly denied the right of hon. members to take these cases out of the bill. The effect of it would be, to exempt a vast mass of property, for one or two generations, from the operation of the act, and to produce an unjust and injudicious state of things. Upon the first case put by the hon. and learned gentleman, that of a life policy, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would say nothing, as a future clause to the bill would probably set that point at rest. Of the two other cases, he would take that of the pur chase of a reversionary interest. He would not enter into the question of the rate of duty, for upon that question he did not think any difference arose between him and the hon. member opposite (Mr. Mullings). The question was rather one of principle. Now, the hon. gentleman in putting the case of the pur c h ase o f a reversion, said that the parties acted upon the faith of existing laws, and that it was not for the house to impose a law to turn a profit able into au unprofitable speculation. But what he (the Chancellor of the Exchequr) said was this, that this was the principle upon which every measure of taxation was founded. He did not hesitate to say that the whole of the knowledge which could be obtained from the operation of other taxing acts was entirely in favour of the course pur sued in this bill. This, for instance, was the case with the income tax. He did not shrink from discussing the ques tion of reversions, but it should not be supposed that the case of reversions was a fair sample of the operation of the law. On .the contrary, it was taking the extreme case of illustrating the severest operation of an act of this nature. With regard to settlements he denied that there was any fair ground for exemption. The law never intended that settlements should be made use of to evade the legacy duty, but a vast multitude of legacies had been made for the purpose of evading the legacy duty. Were these parties entitled to the exemption ? 4 Certainly not. Then he was told they had a right to ex emption because they had paid stamp duties on the settle ment deeds. The stamp duties ' however, were a counter. part, not of the legacy duty, but of the probate duty, and the probate duty was from six to twelve times as much as the stamp duty. On these grounds he must entirely decline to accede to the proposition. After a few words from Mr. Malins, Mr. Mullings, and Mr. Freshfield, in support of the amendment, The committee divided. For the amendment 45 Against it Majority On our readmission into the gallery, Mr. HENLEY was just concluding some observations about leases for lives. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had not been able to discover any principle on which they could grant an exemption on the termination of a lease for lives. Some discussion followed, in which Mr. MALINS, Mr. MicaELL, Mr. CAYLEY, and other hon. members took part, and objections were made to the inequality and injustice of imposing the succession tax on the falling in of leases for lives, and exempting the falling of leases for terms ; and it was urged that it would fall hardly on many parts of the country where it was the custom to grant leases for lives. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the clause only ap plied where the reversioner became beneficially interested. In the case of leases for three lives, if one life dropped, the reversioner did not become beneficially interested, but fol lowing the custom of the country, he would put in ano ther life. (No, no.) Well, then, the succession would only accrue on the last life ; leaseholds for lives were in the na ture of freeholds, and not in the same position as leases for years. Air. HENLEY said that the clause would operate as a robbery upon those whose estates had been let on leases for Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER protested against the practise of applying such terms as " robbery" and "confiscation" to clauses of bills—epithets that might be much more forcibly and justifiably used with regard to existing laws ; and that certainly ought not to be used by gentlemen who had filled responsible situations under Go vernment. (Hear.) The principle of the measure was to tax successions arising from a death only; but lie quite admitted the reality of the difficulty complained of. It should have his best attention ; but he thought the views of the committee would much more properly be tested by a new clause. (Hear, hear.) In answer to Mr. Sergeant SHEE, Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated his statement of the previous evening respecting quasi cor porations, sole and aggregate—namely, that they would be treated as nearly as possible identically with the legal cor porations. They would, however, be dealt with in another bill. Mr. SHEE said that his question had been misappre hended, and repented it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave sub stantially the same answer. After a conversation, the clause was then agreed to. On clause 3, whidi provides that joint tenants taking by survivorship shall be deemed successors, Mr. Healey, Mr. Malins, and Mr. Mullings raised some objections to the phraseology ; but, after an explanation from the Solicitor-General, the clause was agreed to, as was clause 4. On clause 5, " Extinction of determinable charges to confar successions." Mr. VANSITTART observed under this clause, where an annuity was granted upon an estate, upon its falling in the succession tax would be charged. He wished to know whether insurance companies would be charged upon the falling in of annuities in the same way? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER begged to defer any discussion on the tax, as it related to insurance companies. until the I6th clause. Mr. CAIRNS objected to the clause, and urged its post ponement. The CHAIRMAN observed that as a verbal amendment had been introduced they could not postpone it. After a few words from Mr. CAIRNS and Mr. BARROW, the committee divided. For the clause Against it The clause was then agreed to On clause 6, 171 100- 71 Mr. HENLEY said it appeared to him as the clause was worded, that the successor would have to pay the tax iu the case of tenants for life giving up their lease. He was sure that was not intended, but the clause should be amended so as to leave no doubt on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the clause bore the construction which the right hon. gentle man seemed to think it did, it should be carefully con sidered, and it would not be difficult to meet the case stated by the right hon. gentleman by a reservation. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 7, Mr. VANSITTART said that the latter part of thy; clausa was so tyrannical that he should move its omission. Viscount GALWAY said that the bill was of so ini quitous a character, it was so complete a robbe r y o f th e landed interest, that he was sure it never would have been brought for ward except at the instigation of the gentlemen on the right of the right hon. gentleman. He was a small landed proprietor who lived up to his means—(laughter)— and he thought he had as good a right as a country gentle man to stand up in defence o f hi s p ro p er ty an d rights as the gentlemen of the Manchester school. The clause was so important that he should move that the chairman do re port progress. _ _ . - After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if there was a disposition on the other side not to proceed further with the bill that night, the Government would not press the other clauses. He hoped, as the noble lord had had an opportunity of speaking his sentiments, that he felt much relieved by it. (Laughter.) He did not ob ject to the frankness with which the noble lord expressed his sentiments, and discharged himself of what ho had to say on the general policy of the measure, but he hoped that to-morrow he would be prepared to discuss the particular clause. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN then reported progress. SOAP DUTIES. The report on the soap duties was received. SHERIFFS COURTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. Mr. DUNLOP moved the omission of clause 5, stating that his object in doing so was to substitute for it a clause which would have the effect of placing the trial of cases entirely in the hands of the sheriff principal instead of, in the first instance, in the hands of the sheriff-substitute, and to allow no appeal except to the Court of Session. The sheriff principal was, he observed, a barrister of some standing, and evidently the best fitted to pronounce a de cision. The LORD ADVOCATE supported the clause on the ground that it was in accordance with the unanimous opinion of the committee.

Upon clause 17, Mr. CRAUFURD objected that this clause left the evils. of appeal untouched. The LORD ADVOCATE admitted that in the measure as at first proposed it was intended that the appeal should be altered ; it had since been pointed out to him that it would. be cheaper and better in the majority of cases to leave the matter as proposed in this clause. The clause, and also clauses 18 and 19, were then agreed to. On clause 23, Mr. OAK/1M said, he should more to expune thu clause. He thought the summary jurisdiction should bo extended to 251., and that would render the clause un necessary. After some discussion the clause was agreed to. Clause 27 was postponed. On clause 28, Mr. CRAUFURD proposed an amendment that the parties shall be entitled to appear and plead i y a procu rator of court, but no such procurator shall be entitled to have or recover any sum of money, for so ap, earing and pleading for any party—unless the debt or damage shall be more than si. After a short discussion it was agreed that the Chairman should report progress, and ask leave to sit again. PUBLIC WORKS LOAN BILL. This bill passed through committee. TAXING OFFICER (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PARISH VESTRIES BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. TROLLOPE said he must oppose the bill. The hon. member for Brighton, who brought in the bill, pro posed to give a period of six months in which to pay rates. That would cause great confusion, and therefore he should oppose the bill. Mr. BAINES said he could not help saying that the ob ject which the hon. member for Brighton had in view, was a reasonable one. It had come to his knowledge in several cases that when a vestry was likely to be held a rate had been made almost immediately before the meeting, in con sequence of which many persons had been disfranchised from not having paid rates of which they had no know ledge till perhaps the morning of the meeting. He agreed with the right hon. gentleman, however, that six months was too long, and in committee they might shorten the period to two, three, or four months. After a few words from Sir G. PECRELL, The bill was then read a second time. SALE OF LIVINGS. Mr. It. PHILLIMORE obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws respecting simony, and to render illegal the sale of the next presentation to any benefice with cure of souls. The house ajourned at half-past one. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—JUNE 16. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons. ) SUCCESSION DUTY BILL.

The Monarch, 84, guard-ship of ordinary, Captain Charles Hope, is now all ataut, her standing rigging is being dressed down, and she is all ready for reeving run ning gear and bending sails. The Nerbudda, 12, gun brig, Commander Boyd, has this day been inspected, and officers and crew mustered, by Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, flag captain, in consequence of the indisposition of the Commander-in- Chief the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., &c. The Cyclops, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, now in charge of Mr. Benjamin Renaud, master, R.N.(lent from Horatio), is ordered to return all her armament (except two small guns) and ammunition to the ordnance de partments at Chatham and Upnor, and it is reported that she will in future be appropriated as a steam trans port and employed on particular service (like the steam transport Rhadamanthus), and be commanded by a master in service. Mr. Renand, now in charge, is spoken of as likely to retain his present command. The Horatio, 24 guns, screw steam guard-ship, on her crew being turned over to the Tribune, will be ap propriated as a receiving ship for the instruction of seamen. Able-bodied landsmen will be permitted to enter the service, and will be instructed in seamanship and gunnery, &c., on board this frigate, and when qua lified will be draughted into other ships as ordinary seamen. An order has been received, giving directions that in future the crew of this ship are not to be em ployed, as formerly, in rigging and getting ready for being commissioned ships ordered to be brought forward, and for that purpose taken into the fitting basin. This duty, in future, will be carried out, under the directions of the Master-Attendant, by the seamen riggers belong. ing to the dockyard. We have known, for many months past, of fine healthy countrymen, who have left their agricultural pursuits and arrived here, not doubting fo r a moment that:they could be entered in the navy ; and who, on being rejected, have immediately proceeded to the garrison and enlisted in the Royal Artillery corps. Many of these aro now smart and well-drilled artillery men, and the same time would' have made them *Matt active seamen could they have entered. The Royal George, 120, screw steam-line-of-IT:Lae ship, will be put out of dock at Chatham on the 2.8 d inst., and will be immediately towed down here and taken into the fitting basin. Her boilers rid machinery are to be sent down here from Woolwich and Blackwall, and she is to receive them on board here while lying un der the masting sheers, for the convenience of the appa rP,tus for transshipping and lowering her boilers and other heavy parts of her monster machinery into their respective positions. _ _ The BosCawen, 70, guard-ship-of•ordinary at Chatham, Caesin Peter Richards, is ordered to be approptiabed for receiving landsmen, precisely on the same ritinciple as the Horatio. The Cuckoo paddle-wheel steam-vessel has been ordered to return from Gravesend, where she has been for some time past engaged in searching outward bound ships for deserters. Her officers and crew will be re turned to the flag-ship Waterloo to-morrow. The Myrtle, paddle-wheel steam-;,ender to Monarch, has repaired her defects, and left the basin to-day. She has again taken her moorings ready for service when re quired. THE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.—The contract has been taken for the erection of a new formidable battery which is to be built on Grain Spit, opposite the Garrison Point at the entrance of the river Medway. The Admiralty have been pleased to issue an order that the Captain- Superintendent of this dockyard is to supply on loan any lighters, boats, cranes, or gear of any description the Ordnance may require to facilitate the erection of the said battery, the foundation for which has been laid for some time past. This battery will not only command the fairway ship track up Sea Reach, abreast of South end, but will also form a most commanding and destruc tive concentrated crossfire with the garrison batteries here against any ships attempting to enter the Medway. PEMBROKE. The launch of the Rover brig of war has been ap pointed to take place on Tuesday next, the 21st inst. Immediately after being ballasted and jury-rigged she will be navigated round to Devonport, and for this pur pose the Master-Attendant, Mr. Brown, with his party of seamen riggers, attend at this establishment. The Ifamoaze lighter brings round jury -gear and rigging from the above yard. The newly appointed Master-Shipwright, Mr. 0. Lang (son o f t h e late Mr. 0. Lang, Master -Shipwright at Woolwich), has been required to attend before the Par liamentary committee now sitting on the communication between London and Zbirb 32bttion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CuANcELLoR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the Grand Jury of Dublin, praying that a system of regis tration of births, deaths, and marriages be established in Ireland. THE BISHOPRIC OF SYDNEY. Lord REDESDALE asked the noble duke the Secre tary of State for the Colonies what was the reason of the delay which has occurred in the appointment of a successor to the late Bishop of Sydney, who died in England on the 20th of February last ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that some altera tion had been contemplated in the present division of the colonial see, and until that was determined he had not thought it his duty to recommend her Majesty to fill up the vacancy caused by the death of the late bishop. The Bishop of SALISBURY put a series of questions to the Lord President of the Council, relative to the subject of education. The right rev. prelate entered into a long statement on the subject, but the nature of them did not reach the gallery, as the right rev. prelate spoke in so indistinct a tone of voice as to be almost.inaudible, and totally unintelligible. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Alston Roads ; Birmingham and Oxford Junction, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley and Great Western Railways ; Burton-upon-Trent Improvement (No. 2) ; Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Rail way ; London and North-Western and London and Blackwall Railways ; Pelham Clinton's Estate ; Spald ing Improvement. The reports upon the following bills were considered and agreed to, and the bills ordered to be read a third time : Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway ; Holme Reservoirs (No. 2) ; London and North- Western Railway (Saint Alban's, &c.) ; Saint Mar garet and Saint John the Evangelist, Westminster, Vestries ' • Westminster Improveme n t s ; H a lif ax Water works and Improvement. The London and Finsbury Improvements and Rail way, &c., Bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the bill for the registration of assurances, and against the bill for the inspection of nunneries. Sir J. DUKE presented a petition from a place in Scotland in favour of the release of Edward Murray. Lord HOTHAM presented a petition from Yorkshire in favour of the Nunneries Bill. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Basingstoke against the Educ a ti on Bill . Captain SCOPELL presented a petition from Bath in favour of the inspection of nunneries. Mr. COBBETT presented a petition from Oldham, praying for the free distribution of Parliamentary pa pers to literary and scientific institutions. Lord D. STUART presented a petition from Maryle bone against the occupation of Rome by the French troops. PUBLIC LIBRARIES. Mr. C. PORTESCUE gave notice that on Monday next he would move for leave to bring in a bill to extend the Public Libraries Act to Ireland. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1853, been closed by order in council. There were other grave-yards now under examination, and probably the rest of them would be closed at no distant period. (Hear, hear.) The act of last year gave the Secretary of State power to close graveyards in accordance with the requirements of the Public Health Act, but the act of Parliament did not vest in the Secretary of State any power or authority to provide new graveyards for those which were closed. He happened, however, to know that several of the parishes were making arrangements for new places of interment and he also knew that, besides the great cemetery at Woking, there was a bill now passing through Parliament, which had passed this house, and was now under discussion in the House of Lords, for providing another cemetery within a certain distance of the metropolis. (Hear.) ADVERTISEMENT DUTY. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know what business it was proposed to take on Monday, in the event of the committee on the succession duty being disposed of to night ? _ _ _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in the event of the Succession Duty Bill being got through to-night, or early on Monday evening, he should move immediately afterwards resolutions relating to receipt and other stamps; and when they'were disposed of he should propose to take the resolutions relating to the duty on advertisements and the stamp upon newspapers, but these latter would not be taken after ten o'clock. (Hear, hear.) The motion that the house, at its rising, do adjourn until Monday was then agreed to. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. The committee on this hill was then resumed.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. Dated the 16th day of June, 1853. OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE. Mr. ADDERLEY asked Mr. Milner Gibson whether he intended bringing on the motion of which he had given notice for next Tuesday, for a select committee on the subject of an ocean penny postage ? Mr. M. GIBSON said, if he found that the motion stood no chance of coming on on Tuesday, he would postpone it until another day. His desire was to move the appointment of a select committee, to inquire into the foreign and colonial postage, but he had ascertained that the Government objected to that, on the ground that it would interfere with plans of their own, and in consequence of the lateness of the session. He had since reconsidered the matter, but he had not yet decided on the precise terms of the resolution. He would, how ever, before the end of the session, submit to the con sideration of the house a motion on the subject, in some form or other. In reply to Mr. ADDERLEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the objections which he entertained to a select committee, related wholly to the question of time, and to the bear ing it would have on measures which were actually in pro gress, in reference to the reduction of postages to the colonies, and to the adoption of some uniform system. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF INDIA. Mr. EWART inquired of the President of the Board of Control, whether the Legislative Council, which it was intended to appoint in India, would be a Council open to the public, or having its proceedings made known by being reported to the public. Sir C. WOOD said be did not think there was any necessity to introduce a provision into his bill on that subject. BURMESE WAR. Mr. COBDEN, in rising to ask the President of the Board of Control when and by whom the papers respecting the Burmese war were prepared to be laid before Parliament, and who was responsible for the selection of the extracts said, on looking over the documents, he found that the snore important of them were not given fully, but merely in extracts. It was for the interest of the public as well as for the sake of the character of the parties engaged in the transactions that the whole of the papers should be laid before the house, unless they would prove in jurious to the public service, would supply information to the enemy, or were calculated to give offence to any foreign power. Neither of those objections applied to the Burmese war, and therefore he thought the house was not properly treated in having been presented with only garbled extracts. This process of garbling the docu ments relating to the Affghanistan war was performed by high public men now living, and the house could not be too early or too careful in preventing similar occur renves in future. Mr. BAILLIE antsld not discuss the policy of cutting out extracts from public documents, but there was no doubt that In the case of the Affghan papers, they were so much garbled that they conveyed an entirely dif ferent impression to what the writers intended. He complained that no notice had been given of this ques tion to the late President of the Board of Control, who was, no doubt, responsible for the state of the papers which bad been produced in the Burmese case. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said that many papers were unjustifiably kept back in the Affghan case, and he thought it was the duty of the house to take care that similar suppres sions of truth did not take place in future. He sug gested that the house should appoint a committee to in quire into all cases where public documents, ordered to be produced, had been garbled by the Government or their subordinates. Sir C. WOOD said the papers were prepared by the Board of Control, and the President of that Board was responsible for them. They were, however, prepared by the late Board, and therefore no blame could attach to him. There could be no doubt, however, that the President of the Board of Control was responsible for these papers. Mr. COBDEN had no wish to throw blame any where, but he wanted to clear up the dottbt sha to where the responsibility rested. Mr. BRIGHT said he kaa Sebh a private letter from Burmah, stating thht th`e tritish troops there were in a most wretched t ondillOri. One regiment, it was said, had lost 400 Am from the badness of the climate, while the etiltr ttgiments were reduced to perfect skeletons. (Ihar., hear.) Yow he wanted to know what they were tbnout in tl e is matter that so many valuable lives were to bis sacrificed ; and he wished to know if the Govern ment had received any information on the subject ? (Hear, hear.) , Sir C. WOOD was sorry to say that considerable mortality had prevailed amongst the troops, but he was not prepared with any information on the subject. Mr. BLACKETT wished to know whether it was the intention to lay a correct statement of the profit and loss of these newly-acquired territories before the house ? Lord J. RUSSELL was not prepared to answer the question Without notice. SOAP DUTIES. Mr. A. PELLATT wished to take that opportunity of asking a question respecting the soap duties. There wore many large stocks on hand which had paid a duty of 141. 14s. per ton, and which would be entitled to drawback on exportation. Now, he wished to know whether, in the event of such soap being re-imported, it would be admitted at the same duty as foreign soap, viz., fid. a cwt.? Air. WILSON replied in the negative, and said steps would be taken by the Excise to prevent such a pro ceeding. OATHS AND AFFIRMATIONS. Mr. S. WORTLEY said the Common Law Commis sion had reported in favour of allowing a man to make an affirmation when he entertained conscientious objec tions to the taking of an oath, and he wished to know whether Government intended this Session to bring in a bill to put that recommendation in force ? Lord J. RUSSELL was unable to answer the ques tion at present, but perhaps the hon. and learned gentle. man would repeat the question next week. METROPOLITAN POLICE. Lord D. STUART said he had moved for certain re turns connected with the Metropolitan Police, and of the number of orders that had been given for opening letters at the Post-office, but they were not yet forth coming. How was this I Lora PALMERSTON said the first return was ready, so far as the Metropolitan Police was concerned, but the order included the City Police, and as those returns had not yet been received, the return could not be made up. METROPOLITAN GRAVEYARDS. Mr. C. BERKELEY said he perceived by the Ga zette that no less than 106 of the Metropolitan grave yards had been closed by order of the Home-office, and he wished, therefore, to ask the noble lord at the he a d of this department if he could state how many new burial-grounds had been provided to replale those Nihich were a'ready closed ? (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said his honourable friend had correctly stated the number of grave-yards which h ad BANKING DEPARTMENT.

The annual meeting of the society was held on Wednes day, at the usual place, the scoool-room in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury presided. The SECRETARY (the Rev. J. G. Lonsdale) then read the report, which, after referring to the royal letter of last year, and intimitating that the committee awaited with interest the result of the collections received under it, that being the only source from which they were able to vote grants in aid of school buildings, stated that :-- " During.the past year the treasurer has been authorised to pay from the Queen's Letter Fund grants amounting to 5,922/., voted by the committee in former years ; besides which, the sum of 4151., still remaining due upon grants voted from the special fund for the mining and manu facturing districts, has been paid on the usual certi ficate. These grants have assisted applicants for aid in building 190 schools, providing accommodation for 23,799 children, together with 76 teacheis' residences. The number of schools received into direct union with the society, not including those connected only with a dio cesan board, has amounted during the past year to 189, making the total number of schools now in union with the society 10,020. The committee have received re ports from the councils of St. Mark's College and White lands, which institutions, supported mainly by annual allowances from the society's general fund, continued under the arrangements of 1849, from which much, both in point of economy and efficiency, has been secured. The aver age number of resident students at St. Mark's during the past year has been 77, being an increase of 7 upon any previous year. The number of Queen's scholars is 18, of whom 12 are in the first, and 6 in the second year of residence. The continuance of Queen's scholars for a third year is optional and gratuitous. Six young men have availed themselves of this privilege. The number of students who have left the college during the past year has been 22, all of whom have been ap pointed to parochial schools. Satisfactory accounts are received from those previously sent out, many of whom occupy posts of considerable prominence, yet strictly within the limits of their vocation. The terms of admis,io a have been somewhat altered. The ad mission fee is no longer required, and a deduction of 101. and 151. will be made after the first and second certificate of merit `rim the payment due for the following year. The number of applications for masters has been 78, and although thi 3 is probably somewhat beyond the effective demand, yet after every deduction it may be assumed that the supply is not equal to the need. The number of certif. mites of merit awarded at the last Government examination to students actually in residence was 51, 2 being placed in the Ist class, 25 in th e 2d, an d 24 i n th e 3(1. The sum awarded to the College on this account was 1,1851., exceeding that received last year by 1901., a dif ference nearly proportionate to the greater number of can didates. No account is here taken of old masters, one of whom also obtained a first-class certificate. The obstacles which have hitherto prevented the consecration of the chapel of St. Mark's College have been removed, and the consecration is fixed for St. Mark's day in 1854. The prac tising schools have continued to grow in extent, and in efficiency, the number on the books being at present 403, who pay from Bd. to is. a-week. But in order to develop or even maintain this important department of this In stitution, large additional buildings aro required, for which plans have been prepared, which have been highly ap proved by her Majesty's inspectors. For these additions, and for the completion of the college itself, which will then provide full accommodation for 100 students, the sum of 8,000/. will he required, of which the council, from the grant of Privy Council and other sources, can command about 5,0001." The report was adopted, and afterward a ballot took place for committtoo.rnen, the result was announced by His Grace the CHAIRMAN, who stated that the returns of the scrutineers having been handed up to him, an nounced that the three retiring* members of the board, Lord Lyttelton, T. D. Acland, Esq., and Sir Thomas Phillips, had been re-cleated, and that Sir 11. Thompson had been elected to fill the vacancy. The Archbishop having pronounced the apostolic bless ing, the meetine separated. _ _ _ Sir J. TROLLOPS maid his objection wOuld be obviated if the time were shortened. EXTENSIVE FIRES IN CLERKENWELD AND WHITE CHAPEL—This morning, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, a serious fire commenced in the premises of Mr. Busbey, a leather merchant, br., carrying on business at No. 55, Turnmill-street. A plentiful supply of water having been procured, the engines were set to work, and copious streams were thrown over the blazing premises. At half-past 1 o'clock the fire itng nearly subdued.' By that time, however, the factory ID 'Which the fire origi nated was destroyed, the front warehouse severely damaged, and two or three of the houses in Flag-court and Butt-alley are likewise extensively damaged by the action of fire. The premises adjoining, in TurnmiLl street, in the occupancy of Mr. Okey, glans-cutter and stainer, h.tve also received damage by fire and water.— Shortly before this fire was discovered, one of a very extensive character broke out in Osborne-street, White chapel, which was attended with fatal consequences to no fewer than 6 valuable horses, independently of de stroying a great amount of property. PROSPECTS OF THE HARVEST IN FRANCS.—The mer cantile letters from the west of Franco state, with regard to the prospects of the harvest in that region, that they were still a subject of much anxiety. The weather con tinued VI et, and the rowing wheat was so tender, after nearly three months rain and low temperature, that it was apprehended it would be scorched by the first sum mer's heat. Barley, rye, and beans, however, were looking well. Prices for both flour and vrhesit had ex perienced a considerable rise, and, as this would prevent exportations, it was thought thatthe stocks of last year's crop remaining in farmers' hands might prove sufficient until the middle of Augu s t. SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF MB CioSFEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.—Yesterday afternoon the Lord litfryor and corporation, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and # large number of the bishops and other dignitaries of the Church, assembled at St. Paul's Cathedral, to celebrate the 152 d anniversary of this society, the eldest and Most sueoessful of the improving institutions fir eon nection with the Church of England. Full choral ser , vice was performed, atti it sermon preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Prince Lee, Bishop of Manchester. It was stated that the society has 460 missionittien labouring in the various colonial dioceses, together with 800 divinity students, catechists, and school-masters. The sodieffy, after a century and a half of labour, and in the re ceipt of a very considerable income, has yet before it a large field, in the cultivation of which it wants the ability to enter. While some of the old missions are assum ing by slow degrees a position of independence, invita tions which cannot be disregarded are made of renewed with increasing frequency from all parts of the empire, and even beyond. At the present moment it is solicit& to aid hi extending the blessings of the Gospel among the heathen Millions of Borneo ; in Delhi, where there is a population of 0,000 Mahometans and 71,000 Hie doos, without a single Christian missionary ; among the degraded natives of South and West Australia; among 115,000 Zulus in the province of Natal, and the 500,000 of heathens who dwell in other parts of the diocese of Cape Town ; in the Mauritius, where the large liberated population seem a l mos t abandoned ; in Guiana, where the Coolies are importing the degrading idolatry of India ; in the thinly-peopled, but vast territory of Hon duras ; and in the Melanesian Islands. The bishop made an eloquent and earnest appeal in behalf of the society's funds, and it was responded to by a liberal subscription. THE TRAINING INSTITUTION.—Prince George Svoff, Aektitiviliptl by Captain D. O'Brien, Director of Convict Prisons, ificiied the London Training Institution or Re formatory for Adult Male Criminals, 9, Great Smith street, Westminster, 0 Tuesday last. His Highness carefully examined the whole of the establishment, in cluding industrial department, dormitories, &c., a n d expressed himself highly delighted zvith all the arrange. ments, stating; that he had visited the principal institu tions throughoUt Europe, but this Reformatory far exceeded all he had ever seen. _ [ADVERTISEISFNT.]—A Life-Guardsman (one of the lit roes of Waterloo) cured of Rheumatism by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Thomas Brunton, landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire, was afflicted for many months with rheumatism and rheumatic gout ; his legs were dreadfully painful, and disfigured with cllours of every hue, frightful to behold. For ten weeks he was wholly unable to walk; the treatment he re c3ived from several medical men not only failed to do him any good, but left him, in fact, in a considerably worse condition than before he had recourse to them. Holloway's Pills and Ointment were at last resorted to, and by their sole means he has been completely cured and restored to health and strength.—Sold by all drug gists ; and at Profoppor Rolloyray'l gatabliihment, 244, %rad s London. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES--TiluitspAr. The length to which our prefatory observations were extended on Wednesday, leaves little more to be said of this meeting. The presFige of the Cup day —so called on the Lucas a non luccmdo principle, it would seem—lost none of its force, if the immense multitudes which were spread over the Hurst may be taken as a criterion. The stands and their inclosures were also fully occu pied, and business and pleasure held divided rule. The sun shone forth with summer brilliancy, and the warm air was redolent of the "ripe harvest of the new mown hay." _ Pic-nic parties boating on the bright river added mate rially to the picturesque effect of the gay and animated scene ; and the display of beauty and fashion in dashing equipages closely set along the carriage side of the course was much greater than we remember to have seen there for some years. The sport evidently afforded the highest gratification to the " masses," most of the plates bringing out strong fields ; the results were, however, for the most a sore discouragement to the bookmakers. On reference to the following details it will be seen that the principal . prize (her Majesty's Plate) was carried off by Torment with the same ease that distinguished her victory for the Sur rey and Middlesex Stakes the day before. Previously to the race she was bought by Mr. Greville. By the sale of only two winners (Antonina and Noisette) upwards of 4001. went to enrich the fund. This, independently of the great income derived from booths, betting-stands, the admission of carriages, &c., afThrds a strong ground of hope that the amount of added money to the different stakes will next year be consider ably increased ; and, that a new stake, under the deno mination of "The Hurst Stakes," a handicap sweep stakes of 10 sovs, each, for three-year-olds and upwards, with 100 added, will form a prominent feature in the programme on that occasion. The stewards will be Ad miral Rous and Colonel Peel. The races came off as; follows : The VISITORS' PLATE of 50 sovs. (handicap); for all ages. winners extra. Three-quarters of a mile. Mr. E. R.

The annual meeting of the members of this society was held on Wednesday at the rooms of the society, in Re sent -street—Lord Brougham, the president, in the chair. The tenth annual report cf the council stated that during the past year the society has devoted its attention to various suhjects connected with the improvement of the law. A conference was held in November last on the present state of the mercantile law, and in consequence ti&fly of what took place a commission has recently beet] appointed to inquire into the entire subject, in cluding the law of partnership and the expediency of establishing frjbunals of commerce. The question of the ecclesiastical marts had occupied the attention of ter© society, and resolutions had been passed condemning the preltnt system, but no substitute had been agreed upon. The - !Atic:ins of landlord and tenant, and the law Wkvich regulates tfletu t had also been brought under the Dodd of the society. kitty new members, including eight members of Parliament, had joined the society's ranks during the past year, the total number at present being 346. The dt-ficient state of the funds was made matter of complaint. The receipts for the year were 0041., and the expenses 0041, The report was received and adapted, and a vote of thanks to the council and honorary officers was agreed to. A resolution was passed declaring it to be expedient in the opinion of the meeting that the legislature should direct an inquiry into the constitution of the inns of court, and the purposes for which they were founded. A vote of thanks was carried by acclamation to the noble chairman, the president of the society. A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Stewart, the treasurer and the founder of the society, and the pro= ceedings then terminated. MID-LOTHIAN COUNTY ELECTION.—A very nume rously signed requisition by the proprietary and tenantry of the county of Edinburgh has been presented to the Earl of Dalkeith, son of the Duke of Buccleuch, pro posing to him to become a candidate for the vacancy occasioned in the representation of the county by the death of the late Sir John Hope, of Craig-hall. The noble earl came of age last August, and is, of course, without experience in political life. His father was a member of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet, and took part with that great statesman in all his movements in the corn law crisis. Since then he has generally adhered to the principles and policy of the successors of Sir R. Peel. The youthful earl, in accepting the invi tation, says :—" My conduct in Parliament will be guided by those large and liberal principles of Conserva tive policy which I believe to be most in accordance with the constitution, and most conducive to the well being of all classes of the people of this country: Tl,l° writ having been moved for on Mont evening, tne election will t a k e pl ace i n a f ew day.. oro w 1 be no opposition, _~ SHIPPIN6 ' I INTELLIGENCE CUSTOM HOUSE, JUNE 16.
