and learned gentleman said he stood face to face with his I noble friend. He (Sir J. Pakington) stood face to face with the hon and learned gentleman. He 'did not come down prepared to speak, and therefore he had not the documents with him, but if the language attributed to the hon. and learned gentleman during the last election was correctly reported—if it wag true that he had spoken as he did of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, and .that he had physically trampled it under foot—if' it was true that the lion. and learned gentloina.n made one of the most solemn appeals to the Deity, in words the most solemn that could be used, that he never would take office under any Govern ment which did not make Mr. Sharman Crawford's Tenant Right Bill a Cabinet question—if it were true that he made the speeches attributed to him at Carlow and West meath. then he (Sir J. Pakington) would say that the noble lord (Eglinton) was justified in characterising the appointment of the hon. awl learned gentleman as he hail done. (Hear.) His noble friend (Lord Naas) had made a clear, manly, honourable, and straightforward statement, which left nothing to be desired. The other issue in the question remained to be cleared up. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH hoped the house would indu l g e him for a few minutes after the speech of the right hon : baronet, which opened up new ground. But before doing so he begged to express his acknowledgments to the , lat hon. gentleman (Mr. Disraeli) for the kind, generous, and, he feared, undeserved expressions he used towards him on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) As far as the attack on his personal character was concerned, the language of the right hon. gentleman so used was to him an ample vindi cation and complete compensation for the imputation cast upon him elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) But after the house had been engaged in discussing for nearly three hours so insignificant a question as anything that related personally to him, and after the complete vindication and justification of the offer of office to him on the part of the right hon. gentleman, the right hon. baronet had preferred a new charge—a charge new and perfectly unsafe. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the physical performance attributed to him in respect to the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, he entirely disavowed it. (Hear, hear.) And so far from making any speeches on that subject, no meetings were held to his knowledge with respect to it since the late Government came into office. (" No, no—that is not the question.") That was the whole gist of the accusation. (Hear, hear.) He had stated at the commencement of his speech that he would not be dragged into any other matter but the one before the house as long as an investigation with regard to it was peading in the other house. Let any new charges be brought forward against him, and be would be prepared at the prop er ti me an place to meet them, and to dispose of them as satisfactorily and effectually as he did the pre sent. (Hear, hear.) If there was a difference between the noble lord and him, he asked the house and the public to contrast the statement of the noble lord with all the ad missions made. Let them consider and weigh the statement in his letter, in which he gave nothinc , but a dry denial, and in comparin g th e a d m i ss i ons and denials let them take up the letter of a man whom the noble lord did not venture to impeach, whose veracity he did not even suggest that ho could call in question, and let them reconcile that document with the declaration that, the noble lord never mentioned the conversation to any 'unman being till within the last week. Mr. WHITESIDE Said, that the noble lord having re ferred to the motion made against Lord Clarendon, in which he took no part., considering it would be contrary to etiquette, as he had been one of the counsel in the case, he could never listen tr, a minister of the Crown in a country where public morality and public principles were professed to be respected, c iu l o ii z i ng an d justifying that transaction, without giving "to that justification an indignant denial—a denial of its propriety and justice. (Hear, hear.) He could not forget thr ,t it had been proved that gold had been rolled out by the_ fiord-Lieutenant to obtain the panegyrics of a newspaper'for the Government. (Hear, hear.) But he would no',; speak on that subject, as the hon. and learned gentlema n had abstained from doing so. Mr. Y;.EOGH was understood to say that the hon. and learmid gentleman had offered him his notes of the case in the lc,bby. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE said, when he next spoke to thehon. an.4l learned gentleman, he thought it would be desirable to, have 300 persons present. (Loud laughter.) If the speeches and conduct attributed to the hon. and learned gentleman by the newspapers were correct, then he would say that the noble lord (Eglinton) was justified in the use of the language he applied to the hon. and learned gen tleman in another place. When a Minister of the Crown should be found who laid it down as his rule that those should be elevated to the offices of State who were the most distinguished in the walks of agitation, the effect of that principle in reference to Ireland would be, that learning, industry, and the quiet pursuit of any profession would be regarded rather as impediments to promotion, and it would be understood that the true mode of obtaining the favour of the Minister was to open a school of agitation, or a nur sery of sedition. (Hear, hear.) Lord H. BENTINCK fully agreed with the hon. and learned gentleman, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, that nothing could be more painful than these personal discus sions. Much time had been wasted that evening on matters of comparatively minor importance. Out of that house, if not in it, the hon. and learned gentlemanhad been charged with having pledged himself in the most distinct and so lemn manner, not only never to hold office in, but never to tolerate the existence of, any Government which was not prepared to carry out certain conditions. The conditions had not been fulfilled, and yet the hon. and learned gentleman held office at that moment. (Hear, from the Opposition.) A more serious charge than any preferred that evening was made against the Government a short time ago by the hon. member for New Ross (Mr. G. Duffy)—a charge of profligacy of the grossest description—(oh, oh)—and no explanation had been vouchsafed. Mr. VANCE said it was very seldom that he differed in opinion from the right hon. gentleman for Buckingham shire, whose Administration he came to that house to sui port ; but he was compelled. to (lifer from him in reference to one observation which he had made that evening. The right hon. gentleman said be should not have been sur prised or displeased had office been conferred on the hon. and learnedraember for Athlone (Mr. Keogh) by the Ad ministration with which he was connected. Ho (Mr. Vance) could only say that the constituency whom he re presented would have been both surprised and displeased at such an event—(hear)—and one of their gravest grounds of objection was the fact of his having always avowed and supported ultra-montane principles. (Hear.) He felt bound to give this honest expression of his opinion. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Sir W. JOLLtFFE said he was sorry to interpose any delay to the Speaker's leaving the chair; but he must take that opportunity of making an appeal to the right hon. gentleman with regard to the mode in which the object of this measure was to be carried out. He wished to give the Government full credit for believing that the burdens of taxation were at present unequal, and that the landed in terest was not sufficiently taxed. While doing this, how ever, he must observe that the infliction of the tax itself would be far less disastrous than the mode in which it was to be levied. (Hear.) For many years it had been part of his almost daily occupation to have a good deal to do with rateable property, either as trustee, guardian, or as executor. If he were informed on any subject what ever, he was on that ; and the result of his experience generally was, that whereas the legacy duty generally pressed very severely, and was a cruel and most ungracious anode of taxation, the pressure of the evil was immensely exaggerated when the tax could not be levied without calling in legal aid. (Hear, hear.) He wished to impress on the iight ion. gentleman and the Government that, by passing the bill with its present extraordinary provisions, they would inflict upon rateable property a degree of ex pense and of inconvenience, and would insure the exercise of a degree of tyranny which had never been caused by the institution of any previous tax. (Hear.) If it was neces sary that rateable property should bear the proposed burden, he for one was ready to bow dow n hi s b ac k t o th e yoke ; but he entreated the Government and the house not to inflict the tax upon land in the manner proposed. The proposition which he wished to make was not at all origi nal, nor was it in fact inimical to the spirit of the measure. The more he looked at the measure, the more it seemed to him to have the joint operation of a postponed land tax and a postponed property tax. The proposition of the right bon. gentleman with regard to corporations aggregate was, he understood, that they should be subjected to a perma nent property tax, that that tax should, during the conti nuance of the property try, be 3d. in the pound, and that after its cessation it should be raised to 6d. He entreated the right hon. gentleman and the Government to concede to him that arrangement. He entreated this for the sake of themselves—he entreated it for the sake of that house, which must be detained for an extraordinary length of time by the consideration of these complications ; he en treated it in order that the Legislature might be saved from the discredit of inflicting alax which they had never borne, and which in all probability, indeed certainly, the great majority of them could never bear. His appeal to the Government was, that they should postpone for one night the committee on the bill ; that they should take twenty-four hours to reconsider the matter, and then tell the house whether it was not possible to extend a proposi tion which had been considered just, as regarded one par ticular class of owners of property, to all who might be in terested in the measure. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was very sorry that, in accordance with what he considered his absolute duty, he must decline to discuss the general bear ing and operation of the bill on that occasion, and that on grounds of a very simple character. He must remind the hon. baronet that, on Monday night, the motion for going into committee having been debated at considerable length, the debate having come to a natural conclusion, no hon. gentleman having proposed an adjournment, anti the house Laving determined to go into committee, the Spe a k e r left the chair, which was taen by the chairman of committees. Upon that, the natural course for him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to have taken would have been to move that the chairman should report progress, and then the Speaker would at once have left the chair. But there being certain amendments—very slight ones, in comparison with the importance of the bill—which the Government in tended to introduce, it appeared to him that it would be for the convenience of members to have the bill in their hands when it went into committee as nearly s possible in the exact state in which it would be finally proposed. He therefore rose in his place and said that, if it was the understanding on the part of the house that the bill should go into committee on Thursday, he would on that (Monday) evening move that it should be committed pro forma, and put the amendments in the hands of the chairman, in order that the bill might be reprinted with them. After he had spoken there was that silence which implied consent. Accordingly the bill went into commit tee ; he did put the amendments into the hands of the chairman ; and he had never before known an instance in vehadhicahp,paefaterasuch an understanding had prevailed, there the formal right the slightest inclination to take advantage of raise . üb. _ which every member undoubtedly had to s peaker fr ' e c i t l ll e ntly a general debate, and prevent the or not hon. having the chair. He did not know whether night ;the hui bar o netc heard what took place on Monday general Chancellor of ta rt ,, ainl Y remained silent • and he (tho breach of the - r•xelle tier) could not be a party to a u ndastanding which was come to on Monday. Sir W. JOLLIFPE r 'N understood t o declare that had been ignorant Whaltv arse the Government meantat lie pursue, and that on the to e, e' " C made the same appe postponed, he should h ave uestion th a t the p r e a a l le that ble h b e e had done that evenine. The house then went into orariaittee. On clause 1, Mr, HENLEY wished to , father domiciled in America, letl,owrorweitether, where a >ught to son settled here, that the son ftP y . to an English pay -accession duty u n property in America ? po Th e SOLICITOR -GENER AL said that the univea law was that a man dyi n g aut ead had his estate admirnsisl tared according to the law of the country where he di e d . But if a man died abroad, snd made a will, leaving a variety of successive interestsr and the property subjected thereto were brought to this 4. )un try and invested in the English funds, then every interest arisingafter the removal of the property to England would b e taxed. Mr. HENLEY said that he did not ask about property in England, but about property in America. The SOLICITOR-GENETI A L Said that he had already ~~`>~:: 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 M 3 e lightly than the latter class ; he therefore moved an amendment, NavinF for its object the placing of these two cl is ses on an o ij nality. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the holders of heritable bonds were in a different position from mort gagees in England. The 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 equitable 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 anti that all titles to property already existing, by or under which a future disposition not in 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 ratb er one of principle. Now, the hon. gentleman in putting the case of the purchase of 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 an unprofitable speculation. Bat 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 discussinc , 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 ? 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 co un t er . part, not of the legacy duty, bit 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. Matins, 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. MICHELL, Mr. CAYLEY, and other hon. members took part, and objection s were ma d e t o th e inequality and injustice ofimposing 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. Mr. HENLEY said that the clause would operate as a robbery upon those whose estates had been let on leases for lives. The 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 he 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, The 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 repeated it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave sub stantially the same answer. After a conversation, the clause was then agreed to. On clause 3, which provides that joint tenants taking by survivorship shall be deemed successors, Mr. Henley, 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 confer 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 16th 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 171 Against it 100— 71 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. HENLEY said it appeared to him as the clause was worded, that the successor would have to pay the tax in 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 the claims 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 robbery of the landed interest, that he was sure it never would have been brought forward 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 d e f ence o f hi s p roper t y and 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 he 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. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but in con - sequence of there being only one teller none took place. The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses G to. 9 inclusive. Upon clause 10, Mr. LOCKHART moved that the chairman report pro gress. The LORD ADVOCATE hoped that the hon. gentleman would not persist in his motion. Mr. LOCKHART, howeve r , did not withdraw Ibis motion, and The committee divided. The numbers were— For reporting progress 84-68 Noes The clauses from 10 to 16 inclusive were agreed to. Upon clause 17, Mr. CRAUFURD objected that this clause left the evil; of appeal untouched. The LORD ADVOCATE admitted that in the mea,guve as at first proposed it w as i n t en d e d t h at the appeal si lo ula be altered ; it had since been pointed out to him that; it leave b cheap er and better in the majority of cases to Th thecla matter as p roposed i n this clause. to.

EVENING, JUNE 47, 1.A58. clause. lie thought the summary jurisdiction should be extended to 25/., and that would render the clause un necessary. After some discussion the clause was agreed to. Clause 27 was postponed. On clause 28, Mr. CRAiItURD proposed an amendment that the parties shall be entitled to appear and plead by a procu rator of court, but no such procurator shall be entitled to have or recover any sum of money, for so appearing and Pleading for any party—unless the debt or damage shall be more than 5/. 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. PECHELL, Sir J. TROLLOPE said his objection would be obviated if the time were shortened. The bill was then read a second time. SALE OF LIVINGS. Mr. R. 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 ajourneci at half-past one. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—JUNE 16. ( From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons. ) SUCCESSION DUTY BILL.

M'Calmont SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES-THURSDAY. Tho length to which our prefatory observations were extended on Wednesday, leaves little more to be said of this meeting. The prestige of the Cup day —so called on the lucus a non lucendo 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." Pie-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 th e m o s t a s o re 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., affords 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 gent. 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 subjects 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 chiefly of what took place a commission has recently been appointed to inquire into the entire [subject, in cluding the law of partnership and the expediency of establishing tribunals of commerce. The question of the ecclesiastical courts had occupied the attention of the society, and resolutions had been passed condemning the present system, but no substitute had been agreed upon. The relations of landlord and tenant, and the law which regulates them, had also been brought under the notice of the society. Fifty new members, including eight members of Parliament, had joined the society's ranks during the • past year, the total number at present beine. 346. The deficient state of the funds was made matter of complaint. The receipts for the year were 6641., and the expenses 6041. The report was received and adopted, 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." The writ having been moved for on Monday evening, the elect3n will take place in a few days. There will be no opposition, NATIONAL EDUCATION SOCIETY. &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 proceedings were, according to custom, com menced with prayer, which was offered up by his Grace the Chairman. 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 whet 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 5,9221., 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 teachers' 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 lauds, which institutions, supported mainly by annual allowances from the society's general fund, continued under the arrangements of 1819, 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 younc , 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 admission have been somewhat altered. The ad mission fee is no longer required, and a deduction of 10/. and 151. will be made after the first and second certificate of merit from the payment due for the following year. The number of applications for masters has been 78, and although this 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 certificates of merit awarded at the last Government examination to students actually in residence was 51, 2 being placed in the Ist class, 25 in the 2d, and 24 in the 3d. 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 are 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 8,0001. will be 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 committtee-men, 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-elected, and that Sir H. Thompson had been elected to fill the vacancy. The Archbishop having pronounced the apostolic bless ing, the meeting separated. THE TRAINING INSTITUTION.---Prince George Svoff, accompanied by Captain D. O'Brien, Director of Convict Prisons, visited the London Training Institution or Re formatory for Adult Male Criminals , 9, Great Smith street, Westminster, on Tuesday last. His Highness carefully examined the whole of the establishment, in cluding industrial department, dormitories, &c., and expressed himself highly delighted with 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. -•~=r:..... NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHEERNESS, JUNE 15. 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 re ev i ng 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 Renand, 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 TJpnor, 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 for a moment thatithey 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 are now smart and well-drilled artillery men, and the same time would have made them smart active seamen could they have entered. The Royal George, 120, screw steam-line-of-battle ship, will be put out of dock at Chatham on the 23d inst., and will be immediately towed down here and taken into the fitting basin. Her boilers and 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 ratus 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, Captain Peter Richards, is ordered to be appropriated for receiving landsmen, precisely on the same principle 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-tender 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 STEAM-SLOOP PHOENIX AND ARCTIC SQUADRON. —By a letter received here from a friend at Stromness. under date of the 9th inst., it appears there are a large quantity of letters, newspapers, &c., now lying at that post-office, addressed to the officers and crews of the Phoenix, Barracouta, and the Diligence transport. All the letters lying there on the 22d of May last for the Desperate were forwarded to Queenstown, county Cork, Ireland, by an order from the officers of that ship, sent from the Downs on the 18th of May. In consequence of the postmaster not having received orders from any of the other ships all the letters, papers, &c., remain. This information may prove satisfactory to many of the families and friends of the officers and crews of the ships referred to, and enable them to get their papers and letters returned, and take the earliest opportunity of sending them by some other route. THE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.—The contract has been taken for the erection of a new formidable battery which is to be built on Gram 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 Hamoaze lighter brings round jury-gear and rigging from the above yard. The newly appointed Master-Shipwright, Mr. 0. Lang (son of the 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 Dublin. The Caesar, two-decker, of 90 guns, will be launched during the month of August next, and in order to expe- dite her completion the major portion of the dockyard labour is placed upon her, the workmen being in clusters about her. She is being fitted with the auxiliary screw propeller. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, JUNE 16.

SOCIETY FOR THE PRCPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.--Yesterday afternoon the Lord Mayor and corporation, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a large number of the bish o ps an d o th er dignitaries of the Church, assembled at St. Paul's Cathedral, to celebrate the 152 d anniversary of this society, the oldest and most successful of the improving- institutions in con nection with the Church of England. Full choral ser vice was performed, a rd a sermon pr e ached by the Right Rev. Dr. Prince Lee, Bishop of Manchester. It was stated that the society has 460 missionaries labouring in the various colo n i a l di o c es es, together with 300 divinity students, catechists, and school-masters. The society, after a century and a half of labour, and in the re ceipt of a very considerable income, .has yet befor e it a large field, i n th e culti va tion 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 or renewed with increasing frequency from all parts of the empire, and even beyond. At the present moment it i s so li c i ted to aid in extending the blessings of the Gospel among the heathen millions of Borneo ; in Delhi, where there is a population of 66,000 Mahometans and 71,000 Hin doos, without a single Christi an missionary • among the degraded natives of South a n d W est Australia ' • among 115,000 Zulus in the province of Natal, and the 500, oo t o of heathens who dwell i n ot h er parts of the diocese of Cape Town ; in the Mauriti us, where the large liberated population seem almost abandoned ; in Guiana, where the Coolies are importing th e d egrading idolatry of India ; in the thinly -peopled, but vast territory of Hon duras ; and in the Melanesian Islands. The bishop made . an eloquent an d earnest appeal in behalf of the society's funds, and it was responded to by a liberal subscription. MISCELLANEOUS. Dividend Am.unt 1 Name of Company. per of , Paid.

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 was nearly subdued. By that time, however, the factory in 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, glass-cutter and stainer, have 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 FRANCE.—The mer cantile letters from the west of France 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 get, and the growing 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 f or b o th fl our and wheat had ex perienced a considerable rise, a nd, as this would prev en t , exportations, it was thought that the stocks of last year s crop remaining in farmers' h a nds might prove :suite=t until the middle of August. _ _. 7 _._._._~ _. _ __. ~- PRICES OF SHARES.
