( as we undetatood). At the same time, if this is to be a he neral and permanent tax, I cannot object to the landed property of Ireland bearing its share. It seems that there is to be a remission of 4,060,0001. out of the consolidated annuities. Now that is one of the oddest compensations that has ever been made. There are districts in Ireland subject to burdens which it is impossible they can ever bear, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer says, " I will relieve you from these burdens which you cannot bear,and that is to be a compensation for the new burdens which I am about to impose on new districts and individuals never before subject to them." The right hon. gentleman com pensates one person by taking something out of another person's pocket. The noble earl has taken great credit for the system introduced by Sir R. Peel, the constant reduc tion of duties, the revision of taxation, and the inestimablev advantages to be derived from it ; but he does not obser that he thereby destroys his whole case. If in the course e . of seven years you go on reducing taxation, although at the expiration of seven years the country may have recovered -the revenue which she now sacrifices, yet if you go on making further reductions, and taking off other taxes, and ' using your surplus in carrying out the principles of free trade as fast as you make it — and in the present feelings of Parliament there seems to be an intention of pursuing that course—it is quite clear that, instead of having 51 millions, the noble earl will not have one shilling more in the exche quer, which he calculates upon for the purpose at the end o f years of getting rid of theincome tax—(hear)— an d I notCroven i believe that Parliament will submit for the next 7 years to see accumulated a surplus which will amount in 5 or 6 years to an annual surplus of 5,000,0001., without be ing disposed to avail itself of that surplus as it arises, and, consequently, revenue and expenditure will be brought nearer together, and the object you profess to have in view will be defeated. I submit to this income tax—l believe 4t to be inevitable, and I am not prepared to ask your lord ships to refuse that which is necessary for the credit of the country. But lam not deluded by the suggestion on the part of the Government that this is intended to be a merely temporary tax, nor by the credit which theyhave taken to themselves for the sincerity of their intentions to get rid of it within a limited period. I believe that there will be continual renewals of this tax, and that in submitting to it, with all its injustice and all its inequalities, we are sub mitting to a tax—nominally indeed for 7 years—but of which neither the noble earl nor I will ever see the end. Lord PORTMAN wished to say a few words on this subject, as he felt that he should not be doing his duty to their lordships, who had entrusted him with the chair of the committee appointed by the house to consider the question of the income tax, if he did not inform their lord ships that there was a clause in this bill directly opposed to the unanimous recommendation of that coinmittee, and which, as it seemed to him, inserted the narrow end of the wedge, and would cause, at no distant time, a larger fis sure. He alluded to the clause which, for the first time in legislation, provided that the fees and emoluments of the clergy were to be deemed as fair subjects for remission of taxation, so far as such charges were necessary to the per formance of their duties as clergymen. This was a subject which the committee had inquired into with the greatest possible attention, and the Bishop of Oxford had taken every pains to induce the committee to come to a resolution that, in all . assessments of charges for the clergy, a certain remission should be made in their favour. This remission was now for the first time admitted into the bill, and if he were to allow the matter to pass in silence, he felt that he should be neglecting his duty to the committee and totheir lordships. He must say that, when all the charities of the country were about to be taxed, he did not think it quite a wise antagonism on the part of the clergy to come before Parliament in this fashion. With respect to the general merits of the measure ' he would observe that, in his opinion they were extending too widely direct taxation. Direct taxation was constraint, but indirect taxation was consent. The income tax and the succession tax were alike con straint—the money must be paid on a given day. But the tax on beer and on tobacco was not felt, because it was paid only when parties chose to have the commodities. Direct taxation was very expensive to individuals, and it was equally true that indirect taxation was very expensive to the country • but he did not see why both one and the other species cdtaxation might not be made less expensive than they were. But they were told that some of the in equalities of the income tax would be removed by another direct tax. Now, with respect to that tax—the succes sion duty—he believed it would be a considerable boon to those who held land in fee, but it would confer no benefit whatever upon those who possessed only a life interest in land. (Hear, hear.) For these reasons he objected to the continuance of the income tax in its present shape. Lord BERNERS (who was very indistinctly heard) was understood to object to the income tax generally as An. bust and inquisitorial, and compl a in e d es p ec i a ll y o f thi s ill, by which nominally a tax of 7d. in the pound was imposed on land, when in fact it amounted to 9d. ; and he denied that any one could defend the incidents of a tax of this description. Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the noble lord who had just sat down with regard to the great evils of the tax which ho had pointed out ; but there were also many others besides those which the noble lord had noticed. For example, money invested in improvements or in trade, with a view to its being replaced by profits at a future time, but not immediately, and from which the most provident man never expected any real income for two or three years, was dealt with at the very instant it yielded any return, and was pounced upon and made subject to this tax. This was-in fact making it a tax not on income but on capital. That was one of many objections to the tax, butit was liable to one observation, namely that it was un.equal, and not modification o f th e t ax cou ld ever remove t atinequality. Therefore, when his noble friend ' complained of the peculiar position in which the house was placed in consequence of what he (Lord Brougham) would call thenonflict between the two houses, on a point of privilege, -which be did not admit to belong solely to the other homes. ,but 'which their lordships yielded, and by reason of which taxes were received from the other house as they came, he would say that there was no means of getting rid of that inerahty by altering the bill in their lordships' house. Again, income derived from land, in fee simple was dealt with in the same way as that derived from settled property, and the tenant for life treated in the same manner as the possessor in fee. But there was great difficulty in making any difference between the two. Income derived from land or personalty was also dealt with in the same way as that derived from labour. Never theless, the difficulty of adjusting those inequalities had been found insuperable, and that caused his late lamented friend Lord Melbourne to say of this tax, that "he was aware of the hardship and pressure it brought on every class, and in his view that was its great recommendation, for no property escaped, and every one was compelled to pay it." That was true, but it was asked, could it not be so applied, as that while every one paid it, the inequality could be lessened. But every one who had had to deal with it had found, when it was examined, that partly from the difficulty of adjusting a scale, and partly from the danger of evasion, it was impossible so to construct the tax. Those were not all the objections to the tax. He had stated in-1842 and 1851 other objections. There was no doubt that one of those objections could not be removed by any modification, and ths was the inquisitorial nature of the tax. That objection did not apply so much to in comes derived from land, which were generally tolerably notorious, but the system pressed heavily on traders, and operated injuriously on the most prudent and justifiable speculation, by the disclosures which were necessary and might be not merely prejudicial but fatal to a man's credit. The inquisitorial part of the tax might not be so prejudi cial to professional persons as to traders, but still it was galling, annoying, and distressing. That, however, was one of the evils inherent in the income tax, and which no modification could remove. For these reasons he had great dislike to the tax, and had tried to repeal it when it ex isted, and to discontinue it when it was about to expire. It was now 37 years ago since he had the satisfaction, in the other house, of putting an end to the income tax which then existed, and during the six weeks which the debates lasted, he was sure that no argument was brought for ward in its favour that was not instantly disposed of. Afterwards, in 1842, he opposed the imposition of the tax in their lordships' house, and he stated then that it ought not to be imposed, except as a great resource—a resource which should be wedded to war, and only to be used in case of serious pressure in the finances of the country, which could not be removed by any other means. When he urged those arguments, and moved resolutions in accordance with them, his late illustrious friend, the Duke of Wellington, and the noble earl then President of the Board of Trade, admitted them all, and said that the necessity for it was its only defence. His noble friend at the head of the Government held out the prospect of their seeing the tax taken off in seven years ; but he (Lord Brougham) could not help fearing that that seven years, and many other seven years, would elapse before there was an end of this tax. This tax was only not worse than a tax on the food of the people„- than a tax on the knowledge of the people ; and than a tax on law proceedings • and, looking at it a s one o f th e wors t taxes, ho retained the opinions he expressed, and would be ready to reiterate the resolutions which he moved in 1842 and 1851, with,the,one exception, that he was more inclined to listen to the argument against the possibility or any modification with regard to the sources and different species of income. Without the hope of the tax ending at the time his noble friend stated, he yet admitted that the state of the finances of the country rendered it necessary. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was one of those who oppcsed the income tax when it was introduced by Sir R. Peel. They were told then that it was imposed for three years, but he thought then that it would be permanent, and ho did not now see any real reason why it should now terminate in seven years. The tax was at first calculated to produce three millions, and he (Lord Clanricardo) said then that it would produce five millions, and he agreed with the noble earl (Derby) that no minister nor any House of Commons would give it up in 1860. His objection to the t -x was that it was dangerous to rely on as a source of finance ; for, if a government was strong enough to carry a large amount of taxation, this tax afforded great facility for imposing high taxes. It also afforded a temptation to an economical House of Commons to curtail necessary ex penditure. He objected to the system in the present bill of graduated direct taxation. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer had laid down excellent principles by which direct taxation should be guided, and yet in three instances he introduced a system of graduated direct taxation. Ho considered it mod unjust to impose upon Ireland, in its depressed condition, a tax more oppressive than any she had hitherto borne. The mode in which the tax was to be collected from the landlord before he got the rent upon which the tax was charged was most unjust and un fair, and involved a principle so monstrous that he could not think it possible the Government ever in tended to press it. • Again, he saw no provision in the bill to make the necessary allowance to the landlord for that part of the income which went in payment of rent charges. He believed the tax would have the effect of pre venting that which it ought to be the policy of Parliament to encourage—viz., the flow of capital into Ireland. The reason for i mpos i ng the tax in Ireland was most extraordi nary. Re could understand the proposition being put for ward on the ground but the ground on of taxing England and Ireland equally, was that of whole hboainal which it was urged by the Government rescind the said that as they proposed to be no reason for not the consolidated annuities there could reason which ought nTtPesing the income tax. That was a had been shown before tlioeiweigh with their lordships. It lordships' committee that part of those annuities that could not be recovered, and that it would be unjust to insist recovered, other portions, being untio advanced for the benefit of for the repayment of mo particular localities, ought To mix up the two together, and remit the wl tolan:Ci n d b e . rause of such re only unwise but mission to impose the income tax, unjust. Although the bill was nominally for seven years, no one could expect that the tax would Lae at the end of that period. . The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed that the tinuance of the tax would undoubtedly depend upon c a; decision of future governments and future legislatures • but on his own part, and on the part of the Gov ernment, begged to say, that in concurring in the necessity for Che con tinuing the tax to th e date which had been inserted i n th e bill (1860), the opinion they meant to convey was not that it would be permanent, but the very contrary. (Hear.) If he supposed that the tax would be permanent he should be the most inconsistent of human beings in supporting it, having on various occasions expressed bisobhijegctrieonas—utnhoot. an-his own authority only; but on the m uch THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING,IJ UNE 22, 185:3. I rity of Sir Robert Peel, Lord Grenville, Lord Grey, and almost every other statesman in this country during the last twenty years—to an income tax as a permanent source of revenue; and he was anxious to take this opportunity of stating that he had in no degree changed his opinion in ' this respect. The object with which the Government had fixed the period of seven years for the continuance of the tax was the very reverse of that which had been assumed by the noble lord opposite—that of fixing it more firmly upon the financial system of the country—that period had been adopted on the assumption, founded on facts, that year after year the revenue would so increase from the impetus given to trade by the removal of those imposts and excise duties which had hitherto acted as checks to thefull de velopment of the resources of the country, that by the year 1860 we might altogether dispense with a tax which, he admitted, should be resorted to only under special cir cumstances. As a permanent source of revenue such a tax was in the greatest degree objectionable and unconsti tutional, being, as it was, a tax not only on the pockets, but on the feelings of the people. With regard to the ex tension of the tax to Ireland, he thought the time had come for considering how far the taxes of the two countries should be imposed upon the principle of equality. It was not because the consolidated annuities were remitted that the income tax was imposed, but as it was considered un just to continue to exact from Ireland the payment of those annuities which formed a galling and most unequal impost, and as it was impossible longer to exempt that country from the taxes paid by this, the moment was thought favourable for sweeping away those consolidated annuities, which, more than any income tax could do, had tended to check the prosperity of the country, and at the same time establishing something like equality between the two countries. (Hear.) As to the mode of levying the tax in Ireland, the Government had given the subject the fullest attention, and had adopted the mode proposed in the bill as the most equitable and fair to all parties. It had been said that a property tax was a war tax, and should only be imposed in time of war. He earnestly hoped that it might bo long before we should have to resort to it for that pur pose—(hear, hear)—but should war unfortunately come, the continuance of this tax would be found to have raised up a giant ready to be appropriated to the national defence and the national honour, and by placing the finances of the country in a position to enable it to maintain its position a nongst the nations of the earth. In the event of a war we should take the surest means of preserving peace. The Earl of WICKLOW approved of the extension of the tax to Ireland, but objected that the mode in which it was to be imposed would make it equal to upwards of a shilling instead of sevenpence in the pound upon the land in that country. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) CON TINUANCE ACT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of this bill, entered into a brief explanation of the nature and extent of its provisions. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and the Earl of CLANCASTY, the bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed. BURGH HARBOURS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. Their lordships then adjourned at twenty minutes to nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

ELECTION EXPENSES. Lord D. STUART gave notice that, on an early day, he should move that it be an instruction to the Attor ney-General to prosecute all persons reported by election committees to have been guilty of bribery as agents. CANADA CUSTOMS. Mr. HUME moved an address for a return of the number of officers belonging to the Customs Department in Canada that are paid by Great Britain, stating the names and offices, station and salary, and allowance of each officer, and all contingent expenses paid by Great Britain for the Customs Department, in the year 1852 ; also, a statement of what duties these Custom-house officers have now to perform.—Agreed to. EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR PROPERTY. The Marquis of BLANDFORD presented a petition from 800 incumbents of district parishes, stating that there were many church endowments which did not exceed 131. a-year, the remainder of the clergyman's income being pro vided out of pew rents, and that there were upwards of 4,000 incumbents whose incomes did not exceed 1501. a-year, and praying that the house would provide a remedy. The noble lord then said, in rising to move for leave to in troduce a bill to make bettor provision for the management of episcopal and capitular property, he must ask the indul gence of the house while he entered upon a subject wide in its range and almost incalculable in its results. He wished first to allude to what had been previously done as re garded Church legislation, tending as it had done to place the Church in its present position. The first great public act was the 58th and 59th Geo. 111., commonly called the Church Building Act, under which 1,300,000/. was raised for building purposes. Then came the important act of 1840, the 3d and 4th of Victoria, constituting the ecclesias tical commission. Then they had the 6th and 7th of Vic toria, commonly called Sir Robert Peel's Act, in which was first adopted the principle of providing, in the sub division of parishes; for the creation of a permanent en dowment. Then there was an act passed in 1850, recon stituting the Ecclesiastical Commission, and appointing a most important body, called the estates commissioners ; and, lastly, there was an act passed in 1851, permitting the voluntary enfranchisement of the property of the Church — au act which had gone far to set at rest the long vexed question between the Church and its lessees. To all these acts the bill which he now proposed had more or less im mediate reference. There were, however, other acts which had a very important bearing on the present position of the Established Church. One of these was the act for the commutation of tithes ; another was the act for preventing plurality and non-residence ; and then, again, there was the important order in council of 185 1 , limiting income of bishops and fixing their future amount. In addition to all this, efforts had been made by private individuals, which it would not be right for him to pass over. In 1847 Mr. Horsman drew the attention of the house to the subject of episcopal incomes. In 1848 he again broached the same question, and moved an address for an in quiry with regard to capitular and collegiate revenues, with the view of ascertaining whether they might not be rendered more conducive to the spiritual instruc tion of the people. In the same year Mr. Horsman moved for an inquiry into the full value of all Church property under lea-se. In the same year, too, that house voted an address to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to take into her most gracious consideration the spiritual destitution of England and Wales, with the view of devising means for its remedy ; and her ajesty returned an answer of compliance. In the following year, he (the Marquis of lilandforfi) was able to introduce a bill, having for its ob ject the remedy of some of the abuses existing in chapters, together with the increase, where necessary, of the episco pate, and also containing other provisions somewhat simi lar to those of the bill which he had now the honour to propose. The result was that the measure was withdrawn, but a commission was appointed to inquire with regard to the two first branches—the chapters and the episcopate, and it was with the third, namely, that connected with the property of the Church, that he now proposed to deal. All these things had their separate value • all had a bearing on the position of the Church and her ability to impart those blessings for the diffusion of which she was divinely insti tuted. Now, what was the position of affairs at the pre sent moment? From the year 1818 a variety of acts had been passed relating to the building of churches, the sub division of parishes, non-residence, and plurality, and the obtaining, in various ways, funds to supply the spiritual wants of the country, in all of which one point had been kept prominently in view, the maintaining the great ma chinery, so important in reference to the national religion, of the parochial system. He did not wish to ignore those two other great branches of the Establishment, the episco pate and the chapters ; but he believed that by laying spe cial etres 011 the parochial system, and by endeavouring to su Pply what was d e fi c i ent i n it, he was at the same time doing what would condu ce t o the efficiency of the other b ranches of theCurch. (Hear, hear.) He proposed by this bill to transfer the entire management of episcopal and capitular property to th e E s t a t es Commillionirs. Up to a recent period there might have been some question as to whether the constitution of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion was such as to have warranted such a step ; but a ' short time ago a committee was formed to inquire into the management of this kind of property, and the result had been the appointment of the Estates Commissioners. The advantages that would accrue from his proposition would be great and manifold. In the first place, it would strength and improve that great parochial system, the full effects derived from which were rarely attributed to it. He believed, however, that it had contributed largely to the formation of the temper and moderation of the people of this country, besides bestowing upon them those spiritual bless ings which it had been enabled to convey The subdivision of parishes into smaller ones was a process that ought to go on concurrently with the increase of the population. (Cheers.) This house had been forward to promote the building of churches and the formation of district parishes, each one of which had tended. to repress crime, and to form a nucleus round which charitable societies of all kinds— schools, district visiting societies, provident societies, lite rary societies, and other benevolent institutions, the object of which was to benefit the people and to ameliorate their social, mental, and moral condition might cluster. (Cheers.) Nay, more ; the poor had been enabled to find by this means that which no civil institutions could pro vide for them, the care of a Christian pastor, and the sym pathy of a common friend. (Hear, hear.) That was his (the noble lord's) view of the parochial system. (Cheers.) Between the years 1845 and 1850 the sum granted from the public purse to promote education in Church of Eng land schools, was 327,2301.; and the sum raised by private subscriptions to meet that amount had been no less than 399,8171. (Cheers.) There could, therefore, be no doubt that the offer of endowment would operate as a powerful incentive to church buildin g . (Hear, hear.) The number of churches erected under the Church Building Acts was 857 ; the number of districts formed under Peel's Act was 233 ; and the number of churches, shown by recent in quiries to be necessary, was 580, snaking a total of 1,670 — to endow which with 1501. a year each would require 250,5001. T. this must be added 100,4671. required for the fulfilment of the virtual promise which had been held out by the commissioners in 1836, and the gross annual charge would then be 350,967/. Now, the returns of 1836 showed that the sums received for fines and renewals, calculated on an. average of three years, was about 25 per cent. of the real value of the estates. The entire annual value of the episcopal capitular property was 661,4351. Adding the value of the episcopal property, the total value of the church leases was 961,6971. per annum. lt appeared from the results of the enfranchisement of leases, which had of late been gradually going on, the church parted with half the value of its estates, and that the other half remained in hand. That would give about 180,0001., and, adding the sums that would accrue from other sources there would be a .total of 700,7751., a year. Of course it would be rather difficult to calculate the precise income of church dignitaries; but remembering that the incomes of the,bishops had already been settled — commuting the incomes of deans and chapters at the rate recommended by this house, at 1,0001, and 6001. respec tively, and reckoning the average yearly cost of the cathe dral establishments at 1,.-00/. a-year each, the result they would arrive at would be that the total charge on the fund for all the dignitaries of the church would be 363,7501. a year. Deducting that from the sum with which they had to deal, it left a surplus of 337,0261.; while the sum required was 351,0001. Upon a calculation, the value of the episcopal leasehold property was 299,0001. • and taking that of the chapters at on e -fifth, instead Of one-sixth, the value of capitular leasehold property was 826,7291. ; giving a total of 1,125,8421. Adding the property derived from other sources, 809,7181., the available surplus, a fter providing for the incomes of the dignitaries, was 445,9681., whereas the sum required immediately was 351,0001. He might fairly conclude that, under a wise and efficient administra tion, there would be not only sufficient to meet the imme diate wants of the Church, but that as the population increased a further appeal might be made, and not in vain, to the resources of the Establishment. He proposed by this measure simply to transfer the entire management of the episcopal and capitular property into the hands of the Estates Commissioners, and to invest them with legal con trol over the p ro p er ty or the purposes of management only, making them the lawful receivers of the rents and profits, with some exceptions. He wished this great step to be taken with as little alteration as possible ; and the bill did not in any way take the property out of those corporations in which it was now vested. The bill further provided that a separate account should be kept of the properties of each individual corporation, to which they should have at all times access, either by themselves or by their agent., and that a, seal should be used, having a distinctive die for each. With regard to the transfer of property, the bill .did not interfere with the enfranchisement pro vided for in 1847. It provided that estates, might be assigned to each see sufficient to yield its annual in come, instead of the plan now adopted, whereby the richer sees paid over their surplus to the com missioners, while the poorer sees received an annual sum from them. The payment was to be a first rent charge upon the property ; and in the event of , the payments not being regularly made, or delayed after a certain time, immediate powers for re-entry would be con ferred. Some of the sees were already in the receipt of fixed incomes, including those appointed since 1848, also some others who had agreed to take them. He proposed, with regard to those and all capitular estates, that they should immediately come under the operation of the bill ; as to those appointed prior to 1848, it was proposed that the operation of the bill should be delayed till after the next appointment to the see. With regard to incomes, the bill provided that half-yearly returns should be made to the commissioners of all sums derived from accepted sources of income, which were not under the control of the commissioners; and it was necessary that the income of the dignitaries should be made a first rent charge upon the property. Those dignitaries who were not in possession of a fixed income were to have such a sum paid to them as should make up what they were in any case entitled to re ceive. The provisions were very simple. The step he now proposed was the necessary consequence of all the previous legislation, and appeared necessary to render it complete. He had shown that the commissioners were already in possession of property to a considerable amount, over which they exercised little or no control. The position of the bishops was exceedingly unsatisfactory. (Hear, hear.) He proposed that it should be in every case their own property that should yield them their lawful amount of income; that they should have constant access to the accounts of those properties; that an account should be kept in every case • distinct ; that the fee should remain in themselves, the commissioners be ing only their agents; and that the strongest caution should be adopted of which the law was capable to secure prompt and immediate payment. The population was increasing, and as thousands of forms of vice and danger were threatening the state, a heavy resposibility lay on the legislature, not only of framing enactments whose terrors should repress mime, and of providing for the temporal comforts of the people, but of regarding them as beings entrusted to their care, with understandings given them from above, and with spirits framed in the mould of time, but destined for eternity. He would urge the house to assert its indisputable rights over all matters, ecclesiastical as well as civil, and so to discharge its inalienable duty as to prove the necessity and the advantage of the union between Church and State. Events were now daily pro claiming that it was not only to human law, but to Divine assistance that we must look for the inviolability of our empire. The noble lord concluded by quoting some words of Archbishop Tillotson, in reference to Queen Anne's bounty to the church, and expressing a hope that they might prove applicable to the present time. He then moved for leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the management of episcopal and capitular property. LIVERPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE. The consideration of the noble marquis's motion was suspended for a little by the appearance at the bar of Mr. Ingham, the chairman of the Liverpool Election Commit. tee, with the report of the committee, which he read as follows :—" That Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs., were not duly elected burgesses to serve in this present Parliament for the borough of Liverpool. " That the last election for the said borough is a void election " That the last election for the said borough, so far as regards the return of the said Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs., is a void election. " The committee have also agreed to the following reso lutions • " That Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs., wore by their agents guilty of bribery and tTeating. " That it was proved to the committee that Wm. Dodd, Felix M'Leary, J. Underwood, William Harris, Owen Jones, John Foulds, Simon Croft, Charles Maxwell, Thos. Waithew, Robert Cook (of Clive-street), Joseph Parkinson, Robert Cook (of Walker's-court), Joseph Ovens, William Coward, Peter Rice, William James Hamilton, John Brecken, Thomas Wilson, Ri c h ar d Joynson, Robert Sar geant, and William Whitby, were bribed by the payment of ss. each. (Laughter.) " That John Westmore, Robert Talbot, and John Brown were bribed by the payment of 4s. each, and Thos. Cannell by the payment of 10s. ; but it was not proved that such bribery was committed by the knowledge and consent of the sitting members. " That refreshments were provided on the polling day for voters in the interest of the sitting members, at numer ous public-houses, where such voters had been directed to assemble for the purpose of being conducted to the poll; but that it did not appear on the evidence that the treat ing which took place at such houses was of an extravagant character. " That the several sums of 58. and 45., by which the above-named electors were reported to have been bribed, were given to them on account of having voted for the sitting members under the name of the ' day's pay,' and in compensation for time alleged to have been lost by attend ance at the election. " That these payments were net of an amount beyond the average daily earnings of the voters who received them, but from the disposition of the polli ng pl aces i n th e severa l wards of the borough, every voter might have polled with out any such interruption of his ordinary employment, so as not to occasion the loss of wages, and without any neces sity for refreshments. •‘ That so far as the conduct of the election, on the part of the other candidates, came incidentally before the com mittee, there was no evidence, and the committee had no reason to believe, that any illegal practices took place with regard to the voters in the interest of such candidates, and in the majority of the cases where bribery has been reported it did not appear to the committee that the illegal pay ments received by the voters had been the primary motive in deciding their votes. " The committee therefore do not think it right to re commend that the issue of a new writ for the said borough should be suspended, or that any further inquiry should take place into the proceedings at the late election." The report was ordered to lie upon the table. Mr. FRESHFIELD gave notice that he would on that day week move that a new writ issue for the election of two members to serve in Parliament for the borough of Liverpool. Lord D. STUART gave notice that whea the hon. mem ber (Mr. Freshfield) brought forward that motion he should move an amendment, the effect of which would be that at the next election for that borough the votes be taken by way of ballot. (An ironical laugh.) The SPEAKER having put the motion of the Marquis of Blandford, Lord J. RUSSELL said the noble lord had devoted a great deal of labour to this subject, and he believed that the noble lord was animated by a very great regard for the good of the Church and the spiritual welfare of her people. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the particular purpose of the noble lord, and the details of his bill, he (Lord J. Russell) thought it was far better that the house should assent to the bill being brought in, and that they should thus have a full opportunity of considering its details, than that they should then enter into any dis cussion of the statement which the noble lord had made. It was evident that many of the propositions of the bill were of great importance, and that there were some to which objections might be made. He quite agreed with the noble lord that the house should not consider the acts which had been passed from 1836 to the present time as forming a complete system, but that they should from time to time remove the objections. and extend the bene fits of those acts. With those few words he (Lord J. Y._.... ~ .. ~.. .... - Russell) heartily concurred in the motion for leave to in troduce the bill ; and he trusted the noble lord would not unduly press a measure of such importance at a period of the session when Parliament might not be able to give to it that attention which it deserved. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME considered the bill o f the noble lord was of the utmost importance, but he complained that it wholly overlooked the secular education of the masses of the people. His (Mr. Hume's) opinionwas that the interest of the Church required that no dignatary should be maintained in her ser vice unless he had duties to perform, and that her ser vant should be paid in proportion to the duties they had to discharge. When so large a sum as 3,000,000/. had been raised by the voluntary contributions of the Free Church of Scotland, he surely was not wrong in expecting that much more zeal and spirit m i g ht be shown by the rich and wealthy in this country. At any rate, he rejoiced that now the first stop had been taken ; because, though he could not agree with all the propositions of the noble mar quis, he was sure it would effect a great reform which had long been wanting in the Church. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HEADLAM expressed his entire concurrence in the object of the noble lord. With respect to the diocese of Durham, the operation of the scheme of the commissioners was to divert the church funds of that district, and apply them to the country at large, leaving the population of Dur ham comparatively destitute. Newcastle, with Gateshead, contained a population of 113,000; they had been applied to to raise a fund for the Church, to which they had ac ceded, though it was very hard upon them that their own funds should be diverted in the way he had described. The population of this county of Durham had increased faster than any other district, with the exception of Lan cashire and one or two others—the result of the open ing of the great coal field there ; and there was no doubt that r, district with a population so rapidly grow ing must? equire a great extension of church accommoda tion. He should endeavour to introduce into the bill a clause giving the districts where the funds were produced a prior claim upon them. Sir B. HALL said he had long paid attention to this subject, and had endeavoured to bring about a better dis tribution of church property, in consequence of which he had been exposed to much obloquy. He certainly did not expect, at so early a period, to see the House of Commons acquiescing in the proposition to permit a bill like that to be introduced, which went further that anything he had ever proposed. He would not enter largely into tile sub ject, as there seemed a unanimous feeling that the propo sition should go forw ar d, an d s h ou ld be discussed on the second reading. If it were proposed that the revenues of the church should be made available for the church gene rally, instead of for particular districts, he would eve it is hearty support. The )4church ought to be viewed generally, not in sections ; and if any district was more richly endowed than another—if there was more property in Durham than was necessary for the wants of the community—the poorer districts ought to have the benefit of the distribution of that property. (Hear, hear.) In Wales, real poverty might be seen among the working clergy; and any proposal to make the su perfluous wealth of the diocese of Durham available for the wants of the church, either in the poorer districts of England, or in the principality, should have his hearty support. He sincerely hoped that the bill would pass into a law this session, being confident that its result would be to render the church more beloved and more cared for. -Mr. EWART expressed his approvral of the leading features of the bill. He wished to call attention to an anomaly in the working of the capitular act, by which the deans on the old foundations received more than those on the new, who were limited to 1,0001. a year, and some of them actually received less than the canons. In this respect, the object of the act had been defeated ; and he hoped the bill now proposed would supply a remedy. Mr. FERGUSON spoke in praise of the efforts of the hard-working clergy, to whom, he said, the present efficient state of the church was mainly due. (Hear.) In his own name, and in the name of the working clergy, he thanked the noble marquis for having introduced the bill. Mr. A. PELLATT concurred in the tribute of praise which was bestowed on the noble lord for having intro duced the bill.. He sympathised with the distresses of the working clergy of the Church of England, but, at the same time, there were clergymen in the enjoyme n t o f l arge incomes for . which they did but little in return. He thought there ought to be a most searching inquiry into those incomes, and into the management of church pro perty. As a nonconformist he thought he was entitled to claim a part At the merit for the nonconformist clergy in helping to WM about the improved state of things which the noble marquis referred to. Mr. PHILLIMORE observed that pluralities were rapidly disappearing, and by the existing laws it was im possible they could be renewed. The Marquis of BLANDFORD, in reply, tendered his thanks to the government for the manner in which they had received his motion, which he agreed in thinking, with his hon. friend the member for Marylebone, was a sign of a great advance. (Hear, hear.) Leave was then given to bring in the bill. SEPTENNIAL ACT. The SPEAKER having called on Lord Dudley Stuart, whose motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act and of shortening the duration of parliaments, stood next on the notice paper, Mr. HUME submitted to his noble friend whether, con sidering that the government had promised to introduce a reform bill next session; considering also the great im portance of the subject, the state of the house (which was very thin), and the prospect of the debate being inter rupted, it would be better for his noble friend not to sub mit his motion under these circumstances. (Hear, hear.) Lord D. STUART said he was most unwilling to post pone a question of so much importance as the shortening of the duration of parliaments, but at the same time he was desirous of giving every weight to the opinion of so eld, so tried, and so steady a reformer as his bon. friend. He was quite aware also that he rose to bring forward his motion at the most critical hour of the clay. (Laughter.) Under these circumstances he would bow to the better judgment of his hon. friend. But he should decline to give any pledge 9.8 to the course he should pursue in reference to the sub ject in the present session, or any future session of Parlia ment. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then withdraw). SEIZURE OF WATCHES. Mr. M. CHAMBERS rose to move for a select com mittee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the unlawful seizure by two officers of the customs, on the 10th day of February, 1852, of foreign and English watches of the value of upwards of 5,0001., and of books, letters, papers, and bills of exchange, the property of Lucien Marchand, and to ascertain what steps have been taken by the commissioners of customs to investigate the conduct of the officers, and to make restitution of such property. The hon. and learned gentleman, after a few introductory observations, and characterising the seizure as unlawful, was proceeding t o , state the circumstances under which it was made, when An HoN. MEMBER moved that the house be counted. And there being but 35 members present, the house adjourned at a quarter to eight o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 21. ARRIV.A.OI , REAR-ADMIRAL COREY'S SQUADRON AT SPITHEAD. Rear-Achnir4 orry' s squadron, consisting o f th e Prince Regent;" - 90 (flag) ; London, 90 ; Imperieuse, 60 ; Amphion, Highflyer, 21; and Leopard, 12, hove in sight off t ' port this day at h a lf-p as t 12, an d came up to Spithe in the following o r d er : —Th e P r i nce R egent , towed by ; e Leopard ; Lo n d on , t owe d b y th e Impe rieuse ; phion, towed (!) by the Highflyer. The Prince Regent anchored at 1 55 p.m. ; London, at 2 ; Leopard, at 2 4 • Imperieuse, at 2 16 ; A m phi on , a t 220 ; and Highflyer, at 2 34. There is now assembled at this port the most powerful fleet of steamers of war the world can produce, among them nine sail of the line (sailers and steamers), and eight first-class frigates, as the following enumeration of their character v• ill show : Horse- Name. Guns. power. Class. Duke of Wellington l3l 780 Screw three-decker. Neptune 120 Sailing three-decker Agamemnon Prince Regent ..... 90 Sailing two-decker. London Imperieuse 6O 360 Screw frigate. Blenheim Ajax Hogue GO 450 Screw two-decker. Edinburgh 5B 450 Screw two-decker. Arrogant Amphion. . • Sidon Highflyer Odin Encounter l4 360 Screw corvette. Vesuvius Banshee 2 360 Paddle express boat. A most appalling accident occurred on board the London. The Imperieuse had her in tow. By some unaccountable means the chain at the' end of the towing hawser snapped, and in an instant killed First Lieu tenant Wellesley P. Chapman and five men, besides severely wounding five others, one of whom died shortly , afterwards. On the same day a marine jumped over board from the London, and was picked up by High flyer's boat, which was instantly manned and lowered in time to pick up the man and save his life. The above accident happened when the Lizard bore N.E. by E. 730 miles. Barring accidents, the squadron is healthy. It appears, that on coming out of Lisbon, the Am phion broke her slide-valve, which placed her, as a cripple in regard to steam. The squadron exchanged signals with the French merchant barque Brilliant, in lat. 41 55 N., and long. 14 15 W. ; they also, in leaving Lisbon on the 12th, passed the William 11/Mower, of Dumfries. The evolutions of the squadron consisted of bending and reefing sails, beating to quarters, night attacks, boarding, &c. The Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, came out of the basin to-day, and took up moorings off Gosport. She is fitting for sea with all expedition. The Odin, 16, Captain F. Scott, came into harbour to day to have her bottom examined. The Oberon steam-vessel, Lieut. Wise, came into har bour to-day to be paid off. The Banshee dispatch steam-vessel, Lieut. llosken, came into harbour this afternoon to coal. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. Crispin, received her crew to-day, and is now ready for her Ma jesty's service. The Vernon Indiaman passed this port for London this morning, from Bombay. She sent in, by the Deal lugger, Axton, master, the following passengers : Lieut. T. J. Francis, of the 9th Lancers ; Ensign Wm. Sheehy, 64th Regt. ; and Mrs. Abbott and family. COURTS-MARTIAL.—A court-martial took place on board the Victory this day to try Thomas Calmeaton, quartermaster of her Majesty's steamer Encounter, for stealing and disposing of an eyeglass belonging to Mr. John Browne, naval cadet of the same ship. The case depended upon the identity of the receiver, and this not being satisfactory to the court the prisoner was acquitted. A court-martial has also been ordered on Thomas Ben nett Clarke, gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery of her Majesty's steamer Arrogant, for leaving hi station, re fusing to do his duty, and for striking his serjeant. PRINCESS ROYAL, 91, SCREW.—Everything in connec tion with the progress of this launch is being carried into effect with the utmost energy. Seats have been erected for the accommodation of upwards Of 5,000 per sons. It has been considered necessary to carry out her ways some 20 feet, in case of any falling short of the rise of tide. Nothing has been spared to give effect to the launch of this sister ship to Agamemnon, and we trust that a fine day will give effect to a scene so dear to the hearts of all true lovers of the wooden walls of Old Eng• land. SHEERNESS, JUNE 20. The Cyclops paddlewheel steam frigate transport, in charge pro tem. of Mr. Charles Pope, R.N., left here to day at 10.30 a.m. for Woolwich. The Comus, 14 guns, sloop, Commander William E. Fellowes, has this day had her compasses adjusted by Mr. John C. Barlow, master of the Waterloo. She will go to the Nore to-morrow, and will be inspected by the port officers and sail on Wednesday next. The Horatio, 24 guns, Commander Robert Jenner.— Several landsmen have offered themselves for entry in the navy under the new regulations for 10 years, and all have passed the surgeon's examination and been entered. The Horatio will take her usual trip for trial of her ma chinery on Wednesday next. WOOLWICH, Jun 91. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant Marcus E. Smithett (1852) from the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steam-ship at Portsmouth, to the Tribune, 30, screw steam-frigate at Sheerness. Midshipman W. A.

With the exception of what has been done upon the Northumberland Plate (which has been an excellent betting race for those who . commenced laying early), there has been little betting since Friday. Coomberland Stathesman, who has for some time been shaky, now seems to be quite gone. Colsterdale has been destined to have many ups and downs in the market ; since Sa turday as much as 9 to 1 has been laid against him, and on Monday, for some time after they began to muster at the Post-office Hotel, he seemed nearly friendless ; one individual, however, who generally drops in rather late, began taking eights, seven, and in one bet 600 to 100, and seemed inclined to go on at that price, and at the finish sto 1 was the highest offer. A few investments were made upon St. Michael at 13 to 1, and 100 to 8 was taken a time or two about Harbinger for the Liverpool Cup. 20 to 1 was taken to 50/. about Blight for next year's Derby, and Marley Hill was supported at 25 to 1. Yesterday the investments were unimportant only so far as serve to show the true quotations for the different events named below.

A Belgian soldier, while bathing three days ago in the fosses of Antwerp, perceived some dark substance floating in the water. He, with the assistance of another person who happened to be near, pulled it to him ; and it turned out to be the body of a young woman. But on further examination, they perceived that it was firmly attached by a cord to the body of a young man. Both bodies were sent to the hospital, and there it was ascer tained that the young man was a coachman named 'arolus, that the woman was named Cock, and thlt they were lovers who had committed suicide through poverty. —Galignani's Messenger.
