A moderate supply of English wheat has arrived up to our market this week, coastwise, it having amounted to 3,220 quarters. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of that grain were small, and the total show of samples was limited. On the whole, the demand for most kinds ruled steady, and Monday's prices were well supported. Very little was doing for forward delivery. Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign wheat have arrived this week. There was a good inquiry for Baltic parcels, at the late advance in the quotations. Other kinds supported former terms. Floating cargoes changed hands to a fair extent, but we have no change to notice in their value. Very little English barley was on offer; but the supply of foreign was good. However, the trade was tolerably steady, at last week's currency. Malt—the show of which was moderate—was held at full prices. We had a fair inquiry for all kinds of oats, at previous quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were firm, at full prices.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with beasts, the general quality of which was by no means first rate. All kinds moved oft' freely, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Eilbs—the primest lots having readily produced 4s 6d per 81bs. Sheep, the supply of which was on the increase, sold readily at the extreme rates of Mon, day, the best old Downs being worth fully 4s 8d per 81bs. There wag less inquiry for lambs ; nevertheless, prices were well supported. From the Isle of Wight 340 came fresh to hand. Although the number of calves was large the veal trade was firm at full currencies. A very superior calf was worth 5s 2d per Sibs. Pigs sold slowly, on for mer terms.

The United States mail steam-ship Hermann, Lieutenant Higgins, U.S.N., Commander, fondled off Cowes this afternoon, with the usual mails, en route. to Bremen. She has 160 passengers, and. a small quantity of specie for Havre aneßremen. The Hermann left New York on the 21st ult., and her news is only one day later than that brought by the North Star. There is a complete dearth of political intelligence. A destructive gale had visited Lake Erie, in which a large number of vessels were capsized, sunk, or driven on shore, and some lives were lost. In the New York stock-market there was a little more confidence, and prices we r e better. For money there was a good demand. • Foreign exchange inactive. Bills on London, 1091 to 110 ;• Paris sf. 15c. to sf. 121 c. Cotton was more active, without change in quo tations. Sales bn the 20th, 2,000 bales, and fur the week 10,000 bales. Breadstufts dull.

A further remission of punishment. to three per sons condemned for political offences, has just been made by the Emperor. The Paris journals are entirely occupied by re marks on the Turkish question, which will be found under the proper head. There was iiot much activity in business at the Bourse yesterday, and a considerable fall has again occurred in the Three per Cents., purchases in that description of stock for the account having ulti mately been effected at a decline of lf. on yester day's closing quotation ; for cash there was a fall of 50c. The Four and a Half per Cents. were well maintained, the previous quotation for the term remaining unchanged, with a variation of 10c. only for money. Bank of France shares fell sf.

TURKEY. The non-official part of the Moniteur contains the following letter from Constantinople, of the 19th of May : " The Ottoman Council, which met on the 17th inst., resolved to address to Prince Menschikoff a note ex pressive of the conciliatory spirit of the Divan, and of its regret at being unable to give its lull adhesion to the clause contained in the project of Sened, as remitted by the Russian Ambassador. " On the 18th Reschid Pasha paid a visit to Prince Menscl4ikoff to acquaint him with the terms of the said note, in which it was said that the Government of the Sultan was dispose 4 to conclude a special convention for the construction of a Russian church, hospital, and con vent at Jerusalem, and that the said Government was also willing to assure to the Russian monks and pilgrims all the privileges enjoyed by other nations. Respecting the status quo in Palestine, the Divan added, that a note might be addressed to the two Embassies of Russia and France, in which the Porte engaged to take no fresh re solutions in future without the preliminary advice of those two Powers. The Ottoman note contained, more over, the declaration that the Government of the Sultan, far from a desire to curtail the immunities granted to the Greek Church, as the Russian Ambassador seemed to suspect, proposed to extend them if necessary. " All the efforts of Redschid Pasha to explain these matters to the satisfaction of Prince Menychikoff re mained without result. " The Russian Ambassador, without waiting for the notification of the Divan, addressed to the Sultan's Minister of Foreign Affairs another note, in which he declared that his mission was terminated, and that he was obliged to leave Constantinople, and to remove all the persons belonging to the Russian Embassy in that capital. He declared, moreover, that any infraction of the status quo of the Oriental Church would be consi dered as an infraction of the stipulations which exist between the two. Governments, and that such infraction would compel the Emperor Nicholas to have recourse to means which he at all times desired not to employ. " In this communication, too, Prince Menschikoff in forms the Porte that the Chancellor of the Russian Lega tion will continue to conduct the current business of trade and navigation, and protect the interests of the Russian subjects. "In spite of this note, Reschid Pasha sent to Prince Menschikoff, privately and confidentially, the note which had been resolved upon by the Ottoman Council. This note provoked a reply from the Russian Ambassador. This reply, communicated in the same form as the Otto man note—that is to say, privately and confidentially— deplores the resolution arrived at by the Porte, and re grata that on so serious a question the Divan had yielded to the suggestions of foreigners. In conclusion, the Prince expresses a hope that the Ottoman Government will ultimately come to a wiser resolution, and one which is more agreeable to the benevolent intentions of the Eniperor Nicholas. - " - 'Lord Redcliffe has had frequent conferences with a a n s d tr f a ro n m ger th t i the advisers t o t f h t a h t e h S e u i l s t a n n o , t the Divan." o s circumstance udnelositiai decisions o i it The following is also from the Moniteur : " The definition of the Protectorate in matters of re ligion which France exercises in the East has become on the part of the journals, both foreign and French, the subject of a controversy in 'which we do not feel called upon to engage. " Nevertheless, we have thought that an opinion which a long time ago was expressed by a man whose authority to pronounce on such matters is incontestible, might at this juncture be reproduced, and have the more weight since it is altogether independent of the present complication. " In 1785, when M. le Comte de St. Priest returned from Constantinople, where he had been Ambassador since 1768, he submitted to the King, Louis XVI., ac cording to the excellent custom of ancient diplomacy, certain memoirs, in which were united the various la bours of his mission, and, especially, a report on the protection of the Christian religion in the East. " Let us see how the Count of St. Priest, after a practical experience of seventeen years, characterises, and that, too, in the first lines of his report, the protec torate of the Kings of France over the Catholics in the East. "'The zeal of our kings has been styled by the name a "protection of the Catholic religion in the Levant," but this name is delusive, and apt to mislead those who do not enter deeply into the matter. The Sultans have never at any time entertained even the idea that the French Monarchs thought themselves authorised to meddle with the religion of the subjects of the Porte. "No Prince," says one of my predecessors, the Marquis de Bonnat, in a memoir on this same question, " how ever closely he may be allied with another Sovereign, would allow that Sovereign to meddle with the religion of his subjects. On this point the Turks have as much delicacy of feeling as other nations. ' " It is easy to understand that France, having always been on amicable relations with the Porte, should not have imposed any odious obligations on that power. And the first paragraph of my instructions warned me to avoid everything which might tend to awaken the suspicions of the Porte by giving two extensive an inter pretation to religious treati es. " We need make no comment on this important quo tation, and we have only to add, that the facts are in harmony with the doctrine enunciated by the Count of St. Priest, and that in the treaties between France and Turkey there is not a single article which treats of the protection of the subjects of the Porte." The Journal des Debats contains the following : " We have received letters from Constantinople of the date of the 19th May, consequently four days' later than those brought by the Osiris, but still not so recent by three days as the telegyaphic dispatches of the 22d, which announced the departure of Prince Menschikoff. "These letters could not, therefore, bring any im portant •news, but they contain interesting details on what has already taken place, and explain many points which the telegraphic dispatches previously received left in doubt. " If, on the one hand, it is true that the conduct of Prince Menschikoff has been during the last days of his sojourn at Constantinople much more moderated than was reported, it is not, on the other, less true that the Turks have shown the greatest desire to prove that they were animated by a sincere spirit of conciliation — that though they persisted in a refusal, they wished to convey it in the form least hurtful to Russia. It was the Divan, it was Reschid Pacha, in person, who de manded the last delay accorded by Prince MerEhikoff, and which was looked upon as hesitation on his part. It is now known that it was not so, and that ho was as firmly resolved to break off diplomatic relations in case of a refusal with his demands as the Turks were deter mined not to give in. "During the whole time Cabinet Councils were held daily, all with the same result—to resist the demands of Russia. The Grand Council met on the 16th ; on the 17th all the former grand viziers, all the pachas present A Constantinople, even those out of office, were con yoked with the ulemas. On the 18th, on the receipt o another note from Prince Menschikoff, announcing his departure, the Sultan presided in person over a Council of Ministers at the Top-Capon Palace, and expressed himself to the following intent :—' We have done all that we could do to satisfy Russia and avoid a rupture ; if we have not succeeded the fault is not ours. I hay,: my sovereign rights to defend. I am aware of my duties, and in every contingency that may take place I shall know how to accomplish them. Place your trust in me, as I place my confidence in you.' The people gradually began to sympathise with the sentiments of the Government. Nevertheless all the correspondences which have reached us from Constantinople agree in the common conviction that the crisis will have a pacific solution by diplomatic intervention." The same journal says : "We have received various telegraphic despatches announcing the arrival of Prince Menschikoff at Odessa on the night of the'23d of May. On the morning of the 24th be started for St. Petersburg. "Odessa is 480 leagues from St. Petersburg.. How ever fast he may travel, it is not likely that Prince Menschikoff could have arrived there_before the 31st of May." A letter from St. Petersburg states that Russia demands from the Shah of Persia either the im mediate repayment of the loan of 50,000,0001., or the cession of the territory of Asterabad, on the shores of the Caspian. The Shah has refused com pliance with either demand.' It is said that, the Prince Dolzomki, Secretary to the Russian Embassy at Teheran, has given a blow to the secretary of the Shah, and that Ahmet Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, who took the part of the insulted dignitary, has addressed a cir cular to the foreign consuls at Teheran. Some of the letters received in Vienna mention a report that the Emperor of Russia intends re moving Prince Alexander of Servia, and replacing him by Prince Michel Obrenowitsch, son of Molosch Obrenowitsch, ex-Prince of Servia. Al though, considering the well-known sentiments of Prince Alexander under existing circumstances, such a report has nothing improbable in it, still it is at least premature. Prince Michel Obreno witsch is now at Vienna, and is shortly to be married to Countess Julia Hunyady, one of the belles of the capital. According to the latest news from St. Peters burg, the departure of Baron de Meyendorff for Vienna was still uncertain. The first secretary of embassy, M. d'Oubril, and Count Stroganoff, who has just been appointed attache to the Russian Embassy at Vienna, are on their way to their post. SPAIN. In despite of the contrary decision of the Royal Council, it is asserted that some of the Ministers aro resolved to maintain the concession of the Northern Railway. The Minister of Finance is op posed to this (s'y reficsait), and threatens to resign. The Three per Cents. were at 45a. GERMANY. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed a circular to the Austrian representatives at foreign Courts. In this circular, which is dated the 26th May, the Minister declares formally that the meet ing of Sovereign princes at Vienna had nothing whatever to do with politics. In conclusion, the circular announces the marriage of the Duke of Brabant with the Archduchess Maria. . A telegraphich despatch from Vienna, dated yesterday (Thursday), states that the Vienna Gazette publishes the official notification of the ap proaching marriage of his Royal Highnesz the Duke of Brabant with her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Maria Henrietta. The official article concludes as follows :—" This union will fill with most lively joy and satisfaction not only the two sovereign houses, but also the two nations." The gun-manufacturers in Prussia have been informed that England would allow the transit of guns through that country when destined for the East Indies. The King and Queen of Hanover leave on the 14th inst. for London, passing by Calais. In tra versing the French territory they will preserve a strict incognito. BELGIUM. A deputation of the Chambers, to felicitate the King on the approaching marriage of the Duke of Brabant, had an audience of his Majesty on Wed nesday. A project of law has been presented to the Chambers, fixing the dotation of the Prince Royal at 500,000 francs. HOLLAND. The results already published of the elections in Holland are favourable to the Ministry at the Hague. M. Baud, ministerial candidate, has be9n returned against Baron Van Emplen, late Minister of Foreign Affairs. INCREASED RATE OF DISCOUNT. ( From the Times Money Article.) At the breaking up of the Bank Court yesterday it was announced that the rate of discount had been ad vanced from 3 per cent,, at which it has stood since the 20th of January, to 34 per cent. The notification, how ever, did not produce any violent effect on the prices of funds, the heavy speculative sales which took place on Wednesday at the termination of the sitting of the Com mittee of Treasury, from which in such cases a prelmi nary recommendation usually proceeds, having created a certainty on the part of the dealers that the measures had been resolved upon. With regard to the policy of the step, it is only neces sary to repeat that the bank must be the best judge. since the public are unacquainted with the absolute ex tent of the immediate demand for accommodatibn by which it was considered to be rendered necessary. Look ing at external circumstances—namely, the complete check lately given to all foreign investments, the arrivals of gold during the week from Australia, the probability that these will continue without further counteraction from a drain of coin, the remittances from Russia, and the renewal of a favourable rate of exchange with America—there was little to lead to an expectation of it. All these considerations, however, are useless against the practical evidence of supply and demand. If the Bank can lend as much money as they have to spare at 31 per cent, upon the best paper, it is, as a general rule, their business to look to that fact alone. In the present case they have had an addittional induce ment from the certainty that a demand upon their ie sources will be experienced from the Government, in connexion with the payment of the Exchequer-bill dissentients, sufficiently large to render it necessary that they should curtail their advances in other channels. Under this view it is possible that the proceeding may have been adopted, even with the certainty that the increased rate will soon be so far beyond the charge out of doors as to check the discount business of the estab lishment. On the part of the banking interest and the public generally, a feeling unquestionably prevails that the demand for money is likely to diminish rather than to increase. The speculative operations carried on yesterday and this morning in connexion with the raising of the Bank rate discount caused a revival of the wish that that establishment would follow the true business course of charging from day to day such rate as the condition of the money-market may warrant, and discontinue the practice - of making sudden announcements, which, al though they have little real signifiance, are at all times calculated to create excitement and disturb the value of property. _ _ _ 'the rate of discount now charged by the Bank is the highest that has prevailed for nearly five years. On the 2d of November, 1848, it was reduced from 3i per oast. to 3 per cent., at or below which it has remained ever since. Consols were then 86, and the bullion in tho Bank 13,400,000/. , . The discount houses yesterday gave no notice of any alteration in their rates for money at call. It is understood that the total of Exchequer bills not 1 sent in for renewal, and the payment of which will con sequently be demanded, is very large. Two days back the claims amounted to about 500,0001., and they are since believed to have been increased to about 3,000,000/. The disbursement of this sum will affect the lending power of the Bank by diminishing the Government balances in their hands, but will, of course, increase in an equal proportion the floating capital of the public seeking temporary investment. Subjoined are the returns from the Bank and the South Sea-house of the progress of the conversion ; it includes a small amount of Exchequer bonds : AMOUNTS OF NEW STOCKS AQCEPTED THIS DAY.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY.—The confirmation of his Royal Highness the Count de Paris took place at an early hour yesterday morning, in the presence of the ex-Royal Family of France and a distinguished circle of the English nobility, at the chapel of the French Em bassy, in King-street, Portman-square. The Duke de Chartres at the same time' made his first communion. Cardinal Wiseman, Roman Catholic Archbishop of the district, officiated, and pronounced a very impressive address appropriate to the occasion. The chapel was crowded to excess, although the hour for assembling was as early as eight o'clock. The ex-Queen of the French and all the members of the ex-royal family were present and assisted in the solemn rite. The august exiles were received with the most touching marks of respect. A great concourse of eminent and devoted friends of the Orleans family attended the ceremonial. Among others we remarked the Duchess de Marmier, the Duke de Montmorency, the Duke de Broglie, the Count and Countess do S6gur, the Baron de Bussires, &e. In the afternoon there was a second religious service, at which the Duke de Chartres renewed his vows at baptism. This ceremony also took place in the presence of Cardi nal Wiseman, accompanied by his clergy, and of the Pope's nuncio, now in this country, on his way to Mexico. The chapel was again crowded with the ad herents of the exiled family and many English of high rank, 1011 67# i i 7 5i 13 i 121 294 84ii 5 41 50 51 , 133 110 871 8 7} Pm 7 8 5 71 11 15 16 15i 8 103 1151 14i 14# 29 30 72 2 41i 51i 50 34; 4 f 48 71 9 94 3i 20 70 170 591 9 GO 591 13.51 101 10 494 9 754 5i NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The following has just been issued "Admiralty, May 30, 1853. "[Extract from new 4dinilalty regulations relating to the entry and pay of boys and seamen. The regulations, with the documents to which they refer, will be sent to the several ports iu the comae of a few days.] "Boys. " Boys who have entered for continuous and general ser vice are, when advanced to an of Ow under-mentioned ratings, or to those stated in the taUJ of pay attached hereto, to be allowed the following rates of pay, in addition to the present pay of the Royal navy : Per calendar month Per of 31 days. annum. 2d class ordinary swum 2s. 7d. 10 5 Ordinary seamen Petty officers and able seamen 7 9 4 11 3 " They will also be eligible to be granted pensions aft?.r shorter terms of service than at present, as hereinafter specified. "SEAMEN. " The above additional rates of pay are also to be allowed to all petty officers, seamen, and others specified in the table of pay, under the following conditions : " 1. To all men who volunteer for ten years' continuous and general serviee. "2. Men who may hereafter enter the navy for the first time for the usual period for which a ship is commissioned, and who afterwards volunteer, at any time before the ship in which they are serving is paid off, for such further periods as may be necessary to complete ten years con tinuous and general service from the date of their first entry, will be allowed the increased rates of pay from the date of their so volunteering. "3. To seen who have already served in the navy, or who are now serving, and who volunteer for not less than seven years' further continuous and general service. "4. To men who have already served 10 years and upwards from the age of 18, provided they volunteer to complete by continuous and general service such further periods as may be necessary to make up 20 years from the age of 18; provided such period of continuous and general service to be completed be not less than five years. " Men who have once completed an engagement under any one of the foregoing conditions will be entitled to the higher rates of pay when they re-enter. It is to be under stood, however, in every case, that the additional rates of pay are only to be given for continuous and general ser- N ice ; and that pensions after 20 years' total service from the age of 18 will be awarded only to men who have served under any of the foregoing conditions. " Any man, however, having already completed 15 years' service in the navy, from the age of 20, may receive the highor rates of pay by volunteering for not less than five years' continuous service, but can only be pen sioned as heretofore after 21 years' total service. " The rates of pension to be granted after 20 years' ser vice from the age of 18 will be the same as those now granted after 21 years' service from the age of '2O, and with the same allowances for petty time ; but to entitle seamen to the higher allowances for petty time now established, it will be necessary for them to enter for and to complete a period of 10 years' continuous and general service, unless during such period they are invalided for wounds or hurts received on service. The attention of seamen should be particularly directed to the advantage of this latter regu lation. " The allotments of seamen who enter for continuous and general service will remain in force during the period of their engagement, unless cancelled by themselves under existing regulations. " In carrying out the arrangements of the naval service under the new system of continuous service, the com manders-in-chief at home and abroad will afford facilities for the exchange of seamen in the different ships whenever the public service will admit ; but in all cases the sanction of captains in command must be obtained, and such ex change will be permitted only to men of good character. " LEADING SEAMEN. " As an inducement to seamen to render themselves pro ficient in all branches of their duty, my lords are pleased to direct that a higher class of able-seamen be established, under the denomination of ' leading seamen,' and with an additional pay of 2d. a day each ; to consist of men who are thorough helmsmen and leadsmen, able to assist in re pairing sails, and who are pr ac ti ca l r i ggers, capa bl e o f doing duty as such in any part of a ship ; to undergo an examination for the rating, conducted by competent offi cers; to wear a badge of distinction (according to pattern) ; to be exempted from corporal punishment, except by sen tence of a court-martial or for mutiny ; to be reduced for the committal of any grave offence in the same manner as petty officers, having been first deprived of any good-con duct badges they may possess. The number of leading seamen in each ship to be according to the schemes of com plement hereafter to he issued. The increased pay of 2d. a day is to be allowed without reference to the period for which a man may have entered. " - By command of their lordships "R. OSBORNE' PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 2.

TWENTY-TWO OF LIVERPOOL. This great match was resumed on Tuesday, and brought to a conclusion on Wednesday evening, in Prince's-park, Liverpool. The weather being exceed ingly fine, there was an immense assemblage of specta tors. The play on the first day terminated by the "Eleven" having obtained 127, two of the Liverpool wickets being taken for 17 runs ; but on Tuesday when the last wicket was taken their score was found to be not more than 23. On Wednesday, Liverpool entered upon their second innings, having to get 44 to tie, and 45 to win. They scored 46, but not until they had lost 16 wickets. The score stood thus at the final close of the game : ALL ENGLAND. First Innino.

IMPERIAL PAELLA 31-ENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) Their Lordships met at five o'clock. The Earl of CARLISLE presented petitions from Bolton, 'Worcester, and other places against the sale of intoxicating liquor on Sunday. The noble lord also mentioned that on a former evening he had omitted to give the name of General Sacon as one of the captains general of Cuba who had abstained from sharing in the profits of the slave trade. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from an in dividual complaining of the enormous ,amount at present levied in the county courts. The LORD CHANCELLOR said his attention was alive to the subject. CHANCERY SUITORS' FUND. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that, in conse quence of the fall in the funds, he had revoked the order which he had formerly made respecting the conversion of South Sea Stock held by suitors in Chancery. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH postponed the notice which he had given of a motion for certain papers, in order to give an opportunity to their lord ships to animadvert on the measure 'proposed by her Majesty's Ministers for the government of India, from the tith to the 13th of June. COMMON LODGING-HOUSES DILL. - - - - -- - On the motion of Lord SHAFTESBURY, this bill was road a third time and passed. ALTERATION OF OATHS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that, distaste. ful as it was to him to oppose any course proposed by the noble and learned lord the mover of this bill, he was forced to oppose the further progress of the bill. He did not see that it would confer any security to the House of Hanover, but he saw very clearly that it must give some advantage to the House of Israel. (A laugh.) He had no objection to an alteration of the oaths, be cause he considered that the present oaths which their lordships took at the commencement of each session, were nothing but a mockery and a mummery. They had had, however, princes of the House of Hanover, and not very lately either, who considered that the oath of supre ma zy and abjuration were the title deeds to their thrones. He objected strongly to the form of oath proposed to be substituted. He thought it was not desirable to call upon any to swear to the contents of an act of Parlia ment which was not recited in the act. He thought that in any oath which might be taken, the Protes tantism of the Crown and the Christianity of Parliament ought to be put prominently forward. He thought the words " on the true faith of a Christian" ought to be put first. Had this bill come up from the other house, he should have been willing to consider it favour ably ; but as it had to go down to the other house, he thought it not improbable that it might be amended by that house in moll a manner as to give further facilities to the Jews for bringing forward their claims than they otherwise would have. He thought Jewish gentlemen had knocked often enough at their doors—had their lordships owed them money they could not have knocked oftener. He should, therefore, move that the bill be committed this day three months. The Earl of WICKLOW thought that the noble lord had delivered the'strongest possible speech in favour of the bill. He could not conceive how any noble lord be lieving that the present oaths were a mockery and a mum mery could' reconcile it with his conscience to oppose the further progress of a bill such as this. The Earl of DERBY said he was reluctantly obliged to agree in the motion of the noble earl near him. Be sides the possibility of being perverted to the purposes of the Jewish claims, if sent down to the other house, it might also be amended there so as to do away with the oath at present taken by Roman Catholic members. He must certainly object sending down this bill to the other house at this time of the session. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he thought their lord ships must admit that this was the first time they had ever been called upon to proceed to legislate on such grounds as those propounded by the noble earl. (Hear.) They were grounds which he (the Earl of Aberdeen) would venture to say were neither respectful to the House of Commons, nor creditable to themselves. Their lordships had this bill before them, they admitted its ex pediency, and the only objections urged were precisely those which might easily be remedied in committee. Objections there were, some grammatical, some more or less important, but all were capable of a complete and easy remedy ; and yet they must decline to undertake to amend the bill, because, forsooth, it was possible that the House of Commons might further amend it in a mode which their lordships did not think proper. Now, lie said that it was not respectful to the House of Commons to reject a good measure merely from an apprehension that they (the House of Commons) would exercise their lawful privilege of amending it according to their own views ; nor did he think it altogether creditable to their lordships to reject a. measure of which they approved for the reasons which had been urged by the noble earl. With reference to the particular objection made by the noble earl, namely, that the bill being sent down to the Commons at the present period of the session, might be returned to their lordships at a period when they would not be able to deal with it; for himself he could only say, although he could not pledge himself as to what any member of the House of Commons might do, that no de lay should take place w hi c h it was possiblefor the Go vernment to prevent. (Hear.) The noble earl was en tirely mistaken in his description of what had taken place between the noble lord the member for London, and the deputation from the Jewish body. His (Lord Aber deen's) noble friend was at the time as entirely ignorant of the nature of the noble and learned lord's bill as he (Lord Aberdeen) was himself. The bill had not been printed, nor had his noble and learned friend communi cated its contents ; sad, in fact, he (Lord Aberdeen) had bteen under the impression that it was a bill for the re moval of Jewish disabilities. His noble friend the mem ber for London had very naturally said, "Let us wait until we see this bill before we deliver any opinion." He (Lord Aberdeen) was not inclined to give any pledge. He looked upon the bill as a matter in the ordinary course of business, and said that their lordships were bound in common reason to proceed to the committee, in which it was admitted they could remove every objec tion. That was the simple course he should recommend, one to which he had heard no noble lord object except from an apprehension of what might happen after they had amended the bill according to their own judgment. He had already said that so far as the friends of Jewish admission in that house were concerned no attempt would be made to introduce the obnoxious amendnient, and therefore be submitted that according to all prece dent and rational modes of proceeding there was no objection to going into committee and amending the bill. The house divided— Content Non content POOR REMOVAL BILL. Lord BERNERS, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that it contained only one enacting clause, providing that no justices of the peace should have power to remove paupers on grounds of settlement. This was a principle which to some extent had been strengthened by successive committees of their lordships' house. He felt satisfied that the greatest boon that could be conferred on the poor was the abolition of the law of settlement and removal. GA 84-15 Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said this subject was under the consideration of the Government. No person had hitherto proposed to go so far as did the noble lord. Merely to abolish the present law would be to throw a heavy burden on all the populous towns and districts in the country, and any alteration in the law of settlement must be accompanied by a new mode of assessment., He hoped the noble lord would not press the bill, as it dealt with only a part of the ques tion. Lord CAMPBELL believed that the passing of this bill would introduce universal confusion, and be a source of misery to paupers and of ruin to landowners. The area of settlement might no doubt be enlarged very beneficially ; but all that this bill did was to entitle the poor to relief in whatever place they might happen to have settled. The Earl of HARDWICKE felt that there was no question more worthy of the consideration of Parlia ment, but did not believe that either that house or the country was prepared for the alteration now proposed. The present law of settlement no doubt inflicted great hardship on many parishes, and injured the labourer by confining him to a very narrow area ; but he would sug gest to his noble friend to withdraw the bill, in full con fidence that the time was not far distant when the sub ject would be dealt with by the Government. Lord BERNERS said that if her Majesty's Govern ment would give that house a pledge that they would bring in a measure on the subject at the earliest period of next session, he should be most happy to withdraw his bill. Lord BEAUMONT said the effect of this bill would be to enable the pauper to squat down wherever he pleased. He entirely agreed with the noble lord that some alteration was necessary. The motion was then withdrawn. AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS BILL. This bill was read a third time. THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. certain portionseora- The Earl of POWIS moved for returns r e l a ti ng to oo alienatet he ecc rtain ti the accounts in the general report of the eccl es i ast i cal co mmissioners.

He thought it exceed ingly desirable that the proceedings should be mad e more intelligible on the face of the accounts. Then the sale of estates, which was an item that related to p ro perty, was mixed up most improperly with the ae could of annual receipts and payments. The ac counts of capital and income were mixed up in a. manner that was most exceptionable. Whether these accounts came before the Government he did not know, but if they passed the Government audit, he did not think that such an audit would give much security to railway shareholders, for he would venture to say that no railway board in existence would go on for ten years without attemptin g to show a bat. lance sheet of their capital account. The Earl of C MCIIESTER hoped that the noble earl would wait till next year, when the returns would be ivais I 0 Pet . rd. , g er b e es of the ea ter srlio ,f thil ;c1 . er s slc F. 11' :, ll° re 9t' l 0 1131.1. ; O lt er e; 311 ' to t 0 all z: 100 ' all 12i a 69 70 50 50 100 20 25 100 10 5 5 25 all 1 23 2i 501
