PJIRLIDIENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.-SMITHFIELD MARKET. Lord GRANVILLE moved that the compensation clauses which had been inserted in the Smithfield Market Remo val Bill by the Select Committee shOuld be struck out, and the bill restored to its original form, which motion, upon a divi&on, was carried by a majority , of 44. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND. Earl GRANVILLE moved that this bill be read a second time.—TheEarl of ELLEN1101:01:GII said that an alteration had been made in one of the clauses ; but the Govern ment could hardly be aware of the extent to which the revenue would be affected by the inconsiderate manner in which that clause had been framed. It would involve a loss for the first three years of £120,000. Then by the bill future pensions were to be granted on an average of the last five year', to be determined by the Board of Trade. It would be better to Lscertain distinctly what were a man's rights, and not to leave them, except in cases of extreme necessity, to any board or any man at his discretion to determine what they should be.—Earl GRAN VILLE believed it to be utterly impracticable to have in- . . . troduced a bill, previous to the difficulties of working it being ascertained. which would not have required renewed legislation. It was true that Mr. Finlaiion had shewn it would have been cheaper to have continued the present system than to wind it up. but that continuance was im possible, because it implied not only an advance from the Treasury, but increased contributions by the seamen themselves, and that increase they rejected. The object of the Government, when they found that the old system must be wound up, was that the seamen should be put as mach as possible in the same situation as they would have been in had they continued under the old system, either as receivers of pensicns or contributors, or rather in a bet ter situation.—The bill was then read a second time. TUESDAY.—THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Several pe'itions in favour of the retention of the Crys ,tal Palace, and its conversion into a winter garden, were presented. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of this bill.—The Earl of ABERDEEN could not refrain from availing himself of this opportunity to protest against the passing of this ill-omened measure, which he was con vinced would prove most iejarions to the public interests. It would be for others who would come after to determine whether that protest were consistent with the principles of good faith and justice, and whether the apprehensions which he entertained of its results were only vague and unmanly fears.—The Bishop of OXFORD contended that the Bishops especially, to whom the spiritual education -of the poor was intrusted, were bound to protest against the aggression of the Bishop of Rome—first, because it was a systematic intrusion of a rival church into the ground already occupied by the Protestant Church of 'England established by law ; and, secondly, because it was an introduction of false and fallacious doctrine into the country. Ile did not vote for this bill on any grounds of sect ; still Icsa did he vote for it on the grounds that that we were entitled to enter on a courseuf persecution against our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. Such a course was as futile in practice as it was improper, unwise, and unchristian in principle, and therefore he would never lend himself to aid anything which savoured of persecution •of religious principles. It was only in virtue of our being a Chtistian people that we could protest against this re script of the rea of Rome as an aggression. The bill when passed must not become a dead letter, hut it must be ri gorously enforced against that indefatigable enemy whose -eneraies for centuries past had been so unremittingly aimed at the destruction of the English Church.—Lord STUART DE DECIES regretted that he felt himself COM. pelled to vote against the bill.—The Duke of ARGYLL denied that the value of the bill consisted in the extent to which it was to be enforced. They had now established that great principle of the law, and the Roman Catholics would not be able to found an argument upon their silence. —The Earls of GLENGALL and FORTESCUE supported the measure, while Lord NELSON and the Marquis of SLIGO protested against it.—Lord REDESDALE regretted the ab sence of Lord Derby, whose proposition for an inquiry into the whole matter as to the best means of meeting this aggression seemed to be the safest and most prudent course of proceeding.—Lord GAG'S said that the increase of convents end monasteries was the real Papal aggres sion, and he should be glad to see the Government aban. don this bill, which would lead to nothing, and boldly meet the actual danger to which he adverted.—Earl GREY, in reply to some remarks from the Bishop of Oxford, ex plained the position .of the Roman Catholic colonial bishops, and in answer to the Duke of Newcastle declared that he was still a firm supporter of religious liberty, though at the same time he thought that the power and authority of the Crown ought to be maintained against the rescript of any foreign power.—Lord MONTEAGLE said that, after the admission which had been made by the noble marquis, that the titles which he wished to le galise by his amendment were already sufficiently recog nised by law, he would withdraw his amendment.—The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and the bill passed. CUARITABLE TRITSTS BILL. "The house went into clinmitt tee on this bill, when the Duke of CLEVELAND moved as an amendment that the three Royal London hospitals be exempted from the ope ration of the measure.—The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill would not interfere with the internal management, of those institutions ; and he opposed the amendment, which was negatived, and the bill was reported. The Leasehold Tenure of Land Bill went through a committee, after which their lordships adjourned. WEDNESDAY.—Their lordships met at five o'clock. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The Earl of Ca RUSLE presented a petition in favour of the retention of the Cr, stal Palace. Some hills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. TIIURSDAY.—On the motion of the Lard Cu AN CELLOR, the leasehold Tenure of Lands (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed.—On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, the Mercantile Marine Act Amendment Bill and the Merchant Seamen's Fund Bill passed through comet ttee. STOCK IN TRADZ BILL. Earl GRANVILT.E moved the third reading of this bill. —The Earl of MALMESBORY said he thought that the government ought to have corrected long since the abuses in the system of rating property for the relief of the poor. The burden of the rate fell with undue severity on the real property of the country, inasmuch as more than half the property of the nation was totally withdrawn from the support of the 'poor. There was so marked a contrast in the amount of taxation levied for the pour, first on one man and then on another, as to make this bill odious on the statute book. This system ought not to be continued any longer. Her Majesty's government bad had sufficient time during the present session to make an alteration in the laws of rating and of settlement. His noble friend the Secretary for the Colonies had, at the commencement of the session, promised their lordships that a bill with such objects should come up to them from the other house before the close.—Earl GREY stated that the government had been ready to introduce a bill on this subject during the whole of the present session •, but his noble friend roust be aware that such a bill could not be introduced in that house, but must be introduced elsewhere. Owing to well known circumstances, there was no opportunity of introducing such a bill into the other house of parlia ment with any prospect of passing it this session, and that was the only reason for the delay which bad occurred in its introduction. He could not hold out to his noble friend • any hope of a national assessment, for, if the assessment were laid on the whole country, and not on parochial districts, the consequences would be very ruinous. Year after year the cuarge laid on landed pro perty for the poor-rates had been undergoing diminution. —After a few words from the Marquis of Salisbury and Earl Granville, the bill was read a third time and passed. The Charitable Trusts Bill was also read a third time and passed, after some complaints from the Earl of Mee- BIESBUItY as to tile late period of the session at which the measure had been introduced. The Court of Chancery and Judicial Committee Bill was read a second time, on the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR. A discussion then took place as to the continuance of metropolitan interments, in which the board of health was defended by the Earl of Shaftesbury and the Earl of Car!isle. _ . . A return of the reports of inspectors of collieries during the last year was ordered to be laid before the house, on the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE. FRIDAY.—On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE. the Mercantile Marine Act Amendment Bill, and the Mer chant Seamen's Fund Bill. were reported. On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, the United Church of England and Ireland Bill, the Churches and Chapels (Ireland) Bill, and the Ecclesiastical Residences (Ireland) Bill were read a third time and passed. Earl GR.ANVILLE presented two petitions in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce at. Waterford, praying for the im provement of the postal communication between England and different parts of Ireland, which, after a few words from the-Marquis of CLANRICA TIDE, was laid on the table. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition from the miners of Lancaster against the free importation of foreign flour ; also a petition from Ceylon in favour of the restoration of differential duties on coffee. Several bills received the royal assent by commission. MUSE OF COMMONS. MOND-VV.—Concluded from Ist Edition, last week. THE CASE OF MR. SALOMONS: The debate upon Lord J. P t .u . ,sell'o resolution, that Mr. tokenas ineligible e Salomons, not hatingoath of abjuration in the form required by law , sit and vote in the house, was resumed.—Mr. ANSTEY then moved the addi tion of words pledging the house to exercise i its undoubted right of altering the oath of abjuration such a manner to i take the as would enable Mr. Salomons conscientious ly same.—After remarks from Mr. Hem:lL:lst y was ne- Mr. J. EVANS, the house divided, when the amendmaenn't gatived by 88 to 50.—The main question was the n w put. Mr. BETBELL regrett ed that Lord J. Russell had los t the favourable opportunity which had presented itself o f j u : Lice to the Jews, and warne d him that this question wa s far too important to be put aside by a mero resolution.— Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the present resolution was precisely similar to that which had been passed under precisely similar circumstances last session, and the house could not consistently do otherwise than apply the same rules in both cases.—Mr. ANSTEY strenuously opposed -thel._o resolution.—Tbe house divided, when ther e a pp eared r Lord J. Russell's resolution, 123; against it , 68 ; ma -ority, 65. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that he would ask if it was known at the Admiralty - whether the report in the papers respecting. Sir John Franklin was a fabrication or not ? and, it it was, - whether the laiv against retailing false news would be put in force by the Government.—Mr. PARKER said that the Admiralty had no further knowledge respect ing the report than every gentleman who bad seen the newspapers ; but immediately upon the report coming to their knowledge letters were written from the Admiralty to the places mentioned in order to test its truth. The Conveyance of Mails by Railway Bill passed through committee after a long discussion, and a division in which the government was defeated by 56 to 53. The house was counted out at twenty minutes past two. TUESDAY.—The Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The house afterwards went into committee upon the Metropolitan Sewers Bill. HOP DUTIES. Mr. FREWEN moved a resolution, that the excise duty on hops is impolitic and unjust, and ought to be repealed at an early period. lie brought forward this motion, he said, in compliance with the urgent request of his consti tuents. The amount of the duty was not large—little more than £3oo,ooo—though it pressed severely upon certain localities, and he urged the injustice of maintain ing this duty, which was the only war tax which had not been repealed or reduced.—Mr. T. L. HODGES moved, as an amendment to the motion, to resolve that, on any re duction of the excise duty on hops, it is expedient to re duce the excise duty on British hops and the customs' duty on foreign hops by ld. per lb. with the 5 per cent. additional duty.—The original motion was supported by Mr. FULLER, Mr. BARROW, and Mr. CURTEIS.—TiIe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated the objections he had made on former occasions against repealing this duty. The arrangements for the present financial year had been completed, and it would be most unwise to bind the beuse as to those of future years.—Sir J. TYRRELL entered his protest against the cavalier manner in which propositions for agricultural relief were met by the Ga vernment.—Mr. COBDEN observed that the injustice and impolicy of this duty were seen from the manner in which it affected the interests of the hop-growers in different pc.rts of the country. This inequality should alone con demn the tax, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer he hoped would early take into his consideration.—After a remark from Mr. BASS, Mr. HooGEs withdrew his amendment, and Mr. Frewen's motion was negatived upon a division by 59 against 30. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Mr. HEY WOOD moved an address, praying her Majesty to direct that the Crystal Palace be preserved until the Ist of May next, with a view to determine if it can be adapted to purposes of public utility and recreation. The commissioners could not move of themselves, and must take down the building unless the house interposed.— Colonel SIDTHORP opposed the motion. He denounced the work at the beginning as a most gross attack upon the rights of the people of this country.—Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the Exhibition had ministered to the gratification of hundreds of thousands; its effect upon trade and the arts he believed would be not inconsiderable, but the mo ral spectacle which bad been exhibited in the Crystal Palace by the orderly demeanour of the vast body of persons, foreigners as well as Englishmen, congregated within it, was more admirable than the edifice and its contents. He should express no opinion upon the pro position, which was a question for the house to decide. —Sir R. INGLIS, subscribing to the statements made by Mr. Labouchere of the results of the Exhibition, still thought that the house was not at liberty to alter the ar rangements. It should be looked at simply as a question of contract, which could not be got rid of, except by an act of Parliament.—Mr. GOULDURN put it to every one whether the building would ever have risen if there had not been a distinct assurance given that when the object of the Exhibition had been answered the site should be restored to its original condition ? If this was so, no consideration would warrant a departure from the ar rangement.—Mr. WA KLEY asked, who could contemplate without pain the destruction of such an institution, the temple of peace as well as science, connected with the noblest associations that could enter the mind of man ? 49 out of 50 of the inhabitants of London would vote for the preservation of the Crystal Palace.—Mr. BANKLS, though not for the destruction of the palace, was not for its continuance in its present site, which would be a vio lation of public faith.—Lord SEYMOUR said this was the reason why he must vote against the motion. The First Minister of the Crown bad distinctly told the house that the budding was not intended to be permanent, and the commissioners had given a solemn assurance that it should be removed.—Mr. C. VILLIERS thought that it would be an ungracious thing to refuse to keep up the building for a few months to try the experiment of a winter garden.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER cautioned the house that it was necessary to consider what might be the expense of converting this building into a winter garden. In the first place, the country must be prepared to take upon itself the payment of .£70,000, which might be called for. It could not be maintained as a permanent building without a considerable outlay. As a member of the Go vernment, he should express no opinion upon the motion. —Upon a division, the motion was carried by 75 agst 47. i THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1851. SPAIN. Queen Isabella had resolved to repair in state, on. the 27th ult., to the church of Our Lady of Atocha, to pray tor her safe delivery. On the 24th the ministers and the principal dignitaries of the state proceeded to Aranjuez, to offer their homage to Queen Maria Christina on the occa sion of her birthday. Her majesty was expected at Madrid on the 2fith. The Minister of Justice had left for Seville to be present at the accouchement of the Duchess of Mont pensier. It was thought that the Cortes would be shortly prorogued. One of Mazzini's proclamations, calling upon the de mocrats of Spain to assist in the approaching overthrow of all the monarchies of Europe has been extensively circu lated in Madrid. The roads are swarming with thieves, and even in Madrid, in spite of the large police force, robberies occur almost hourly. A merchant's house was edtered in the daytime and plundered of near £BOO ; and the diligence to La Isabella was stopped about 12 miles from Madrid, and the passengers plundered of everything they had. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LATER FROM AMERICA. 'I he royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Lang, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday afternoon, soon after one o'clock, having accomplished the passage, including the detention at Halifax, in about nine days and twenty hours, being the fastest run from Boston ever accom plished, except once by the Asia, which made the passage in about seven hours less than the time occupied by the Canada on this occasion. On four successive days. or in 96 hours, the Canada ran 1200 miles. She brought 75 passengers and 185,000 dollars specie. The third expedition against Cuba is contemplated in the United States, and the plan is to forward men in com panies to the island, who aro to provide themselves secretly with arms, and to be ready to join any expedition which may succeed in landing. Much is said in the papers as to the policy of the United States in regard to the expulsion of the Tehuantepec sur veying expedition, and various statements of a conflicting character appear in the journals; but on the whole it seems clear that Mr. Webster is disinclined to grant the prayer of the aggrieved Dailies to enforce upon Mexico the ratification of the Garay treaty. The arrival of gold at New York by the Crescent City had eased the market. The accounts from the California mines are as sanguine as ever. A silver mine, said to be superior in extent and richness to any yet discovered, has been found near Los Angeles. The fortunate German who first discovered it, has sold twenty-seven shares for 5,000 dollars each. The cholera is still reported at Jamaica, where warm weather prevailed. The crops in Upper Canada are said to be unusually good. We learn from Havana that what is called in the New York Herald an "insurrection," has taken place at Puerto Principe, but it seems to have been a trifling emeule, which was soon put down. The persons engaged in it were a few young men, in whose possession were only about forty muskets, some ammunition, a great many proclamations, and an American flag. Letters from Rio de Janeiro contain a report of the blowing up, by her Majesty's steam-ship Cormorant, of a steamer owned by subjects of the United States, and which was seized in consequence of a suspicion of being a slave vessel. The matter is in the hands of the American government. ALEXANDRIA.—The differences lately existing between the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt have been duly settled. Trade very dull, and prices of all produce falling. Cotton much neglected. INDIA.—The season of rain and inaction has set in. The western provinces of the Punjaub remain tranquil, the adja cent bill tribes being fully employed in fighting among themselves. Indian railway preparations continue to advance rapidly. The Nizam's territory was in a most disorderly state. He was besieged in his palace by un paid soldiers _ _ _ The latest Mauritius papers exult in the flourishing condition and progress of that colony. CIIINA.—The latest accounts from Hong Kong state that the rebellion continued still unchecked. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Mr. ANSTEY called attention to a petition of native born colonists, preparatory to moving an Address to her Majesty, praying that transportation to that colony might cease, when the house was counted cut. WEDNESDAY.- THE CURACY OF ST. TROMAS, EXETER. Sir B. HALL presented a petition from the Rev. H. Newton, who stated that he was nominated in November, 1850, to the Curacy of St. Thomas, of Exeter, having been duly approved of. He forwarded his papers to the Bishop of Exeter, who promised him a day for an interview. He was, however, kept in suspense for upwards of five months, when he was required to affirm what 111 believed to be the doctrine of the Church of Rome. lie was refused his licence by reason of his objection, and he now prayed the house to protect the clergy against any absolute power sought to be interposed between them and the protection of the law. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. Mr. HENLEY asked the UhancAlor of the Exchequer whether the attention of the Government had been di rected to the first report of the Select Committee on Steam Communication with India, and whether it was their intention to carry out so much of the report as pro posed to connect the Australian colonies by means of steam communication with the mother coantry, by aline to be extended from the Cape of Good Hope to Sydney ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that no positive determination had been come to on the subject. He was anxious to see what was the result of the inquiry into the other part of the subject referred to the commit. tee. The matter required very sericus consideration, be cause the minimum sum which it was stated in evidence before the committee would be neccsssry for carrying out their recommendation was about £150,000, or £45,000 more than the amount from which an offer had been made to the Government to perform the service.—The recom mendations of the committee on the subject also under went some further discussion. EPISCOPAL INCOMES. Sir B. HALL gave notice of his intention, early in the next session, to move for a committee to inquire into epis copal incomes. PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On going into committee on this bill, Mr. CAREW and Sir F. THESTGER objected to its further progress; but after a short discussion—in the course of which the Sou- CITOR-GENERAL stated that many persons who had arti cles in the Exhibition were waiting with great anxiety for the passing of the bill, to take out patents under it—the bill went through committee, pro forma', for the purpose of receiving certain amendments. The house then went into committee successively on the Church Building Acts' Amendment Bill, the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Bill, and the New Zealand Settlements Bill, which occupied the remainder of the sitting. THURSDAN.—TITE CRYSTAL PALACE. At the morning sitting, in reply to Mr. OSBORNE, who intimated that there had been acme misunderstanding upon this point, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. repeated his statement respecting the Crystal Palace. Whether the commissioners were at liberty, under the terms of the memorandum, to apply any portion of the surplus in their hands to the purposes of a winter-garden he thought very doubtful ; whether, if they bad the power, they had the inclination ; he could not say. If they were unable or unwilling, the public could only purchase the building for a sum which might probably amount to £70,000. Then to put it in a fit state for permanent preservation would cost a considerable sum, and there must be an annual outlay for kee•eing it in repair. So much for the building. In addition to this expenditure, there must be a certain outlay for the winter garden itself, and then there was the cost of maintaining it. These five charges must fall upon the public. The Metropolitan Sewers Bill was read a third time and passed, after a protest from Sir B. Hall and Mr. Walcley. The Metropolitan Interment Bill went through com mittee. THE PETTY SESSIONS (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee upon the remaining clauses of this bill, and, after a protracted discussion upon the 10th clause, the chairman reported progress, to sit again in the evening, the Chancellor of the Exchequer consenting to abandon that portion of the clause which gave new powers to a single magistrate. THE LAW OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. A clause was inserted, providing that the act should come into operation on the Ist November. EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES MANAGEMENT (NO. 2) BILL. • At the evening sitting, on the order for the second read ing of this bill, Colonel SIBTRORP objected to the further progress of the bill this session, and moved that the third reading be deferred for three months.— Sir B. Ham. called for some explanation respecting this bill, and thought that the house should have time to consider the manner in which the interests of lessees were proposed to be dealt with.—The CIIANCELLOR of the ExcinQuEn said, a bill which had been introduced in the other house by Lord Carlisle had been referred to a select committee of the House of Lords, who had come to the conclusion that it was not desirable to proceed with that bill, and had recommended this measure, which was permissive only, providing for the possibility of getting rid of the ob jectionable system of renewals of finable leases subject to the check of the Ecclesiastical Estate Commissioners. — Mr. AGLIONBY said, assuming the measure to be a fair one for all parties, it should not be pressed with such indecent haste. —Mr. SPOONER agreed that the rights of lessees ought to be fairly dealt with; but this was not a compulsory bill ; it was th e fi rst step towar d s gett i ng r id, w ith th e con sent of all parties, of a system of management which gave to neither party the full advantage of his interest in the pro perty.—Mr. CARDWELL Said, if this bill were intended to • " increaseipiscopal orcapitularrebenues, and tiedupthehands Of parliament from reforming the management of church_ lrroperty; -- he - could understand the objections offered to it ; tout the, bill- expressly provided .that all increase of church property should be carried to the common fund, andbe applicable to the benefit of .the working - clergy. The bill emancipated the parties from the restraints which imliament had imposed in former times, and enabled the church to deal with the lessees, and the lessees with the church, if they pleased.—Mr. ANSTEY opposed the Mr: NEWDEGATE and Mr. FREWEN urged the postpone ment of the bill.—The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed that the objections went to the clauses of the bill, not to its principle, which was this—the lessees had now no power of enfranchisement from any body except the eccle siastical commissioners in respect to property vested is than. By this bill they might be enfranchised ; but there was nothing in it to prevent the renewal of leases, if this were desired ; all the bill did was to enable the parties, lessor and lessees, if they saw fit, to put the management of the property upon a new footing.—Mr. HENLEY and Mr. BARROW wished the bill to be post poned until next session, to afford time for considering its provisions. —Lord PALMERSTON suggested that those who objected to the details of the bill should allow it to be read a second time, in order that it might be com mitted, and go to the country with any amendments adopted in the committee.—Upon a division the amend ment was negatived by 45 against 34, and the bill was read a second time. Certain bills were advanced a stage, and the house then went again into committee upon the Petty Sessions (Ire land) Bill, the Summary Jurisdiction (Ireland) Bill, and the Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill, the details of which were discussed at much length. The motions upon the paper having been disposed of, the house adjourned. FRIDAY.—The New Zealand Settlements Bill was read a third time and passed, after a protest from Mr. V. &milt, and n defence of the bill by Mr. HAWES. The Lunatics (India) Bill and the Crown Estate Paving Bill were likewise read a third time and passed. The house then went into committee upon the County Courts Further Extension Bill, the details of which un derwent much discussion and some amendments. THE CHLTECEI BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. A short debate arose upon a clause proposed by the Solicitor-General, authorising the bishop, upon or after the avoidance of a benefice having a population of 40 and an income of £l5O, where there has been no church for ten years, to cause a church to be provided out of the profits of the benefice, v hich was negatived. TUE EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES MANAGE- MENT (NO. 2) BILL. On going into committee on this bill, Sir B. HALL complained of the rejection of the bill introduced into the other house, in conformity with the excellent reports of the church estates corn missioners, by the select committee of the lords, upon which five bishops sat. He objected to the hurried mode of legislating, without allowing the lessees time to consider the operation of the bill.—Lord J. RUSSELL said that the ecclesiastical corporations would not suffer damage, since they must be consenting parties, and so must the lessees. Some other body might be sub stituted for the ecclesiastical commissioners in the Bth clause, and he was disposed to prefer the church estates commissioners. The bill was entirely a voluntary and permissive measure.—Mr. HENLEY observed the parties interested in the bill had not had time to become acquainted with its provisions, and to consider whether their interests were guarded in the right way. He agreed with Sir B. HALL that it was indecent to attempt to force this bill through the legislature at such a time.—Mr. J. A. SMITH thought the wisest course was to go into com mittee, suggesting, however, some doubts as to the bene ficial working of the measure.—Lord D. STUART doubted the expediency of going into committee upon a bill the enactments of which the house had had no fitting oppor tunity of examining ; and he moved that the debate be adjourned, which, upon a division, was negatived by 51 against 30. _ . - The house having gone into committee, the chairman was immediately ordered to report progress, and leave was given to sit again on Monday. The house then went into committee upon the General Board of Health (No. 4) Bill, the Canterbury Association, and the Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Bills. The Collection of Fines, &c. (Ireland), Bill was read a third time and passed. SUGAR REFINING. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved a resolution that, in the opi nion of the house, the British refiners of sugar should be permitted to refine in bond, and enter their manufactures for home consumption upon the same duties as are levied upon refined sugar imported. The existing law threw impediments in the way of the trade, from which, confor mably with the principles of free trade, it ought to be relieved. The more important branch of the subject, however, was the obligation in point of consistency and justice towards the colonies, and to relieve the British sugar-grower from the serious disadvantages under which be laboured. The real objection to the change he pro posed was apprehended danger to the revenue, and upon that point he challenged the government to show that this was a bona fide objection.—Mr. LABOUCHEILE, in the absence of Sir C. Wood, said that the question was whe ther any of those restrictions were superfluous. He admitted that in regard to the differential duty the British sugar, owing to its quality, laboured under some discou ragement ; but the growing improvement in the processes of roanufazturing the colonial sugar, the qualities of which now more nearly approached those of the foreign, had lessened this disadvantage. There was no reason to believe that the supply of colonial sugar had decreased.—Mr. MITCHELL treated the objections offered as extremely Weak: Mr. Labouchere had admitted that the prohibition to refine in bond was a restriction which he had justified on the ground that the London refiners did not desire its removal, the motive of which was obvious—to keep up a profitable monopoly. The house was here counted, and 40 members not being present, an adjournment tock place. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FRANCE. There is some excitement in the political circles about the Committee of Permanence of the National Assembly. The majority had agreed upon a list from which all the Mountain and even the Cavaignac party were excluded ; but as it was feared that some of the Legitimists and Orleanists would side with the Mountain, and defeat the combination, a compromise has been resorted to. It is expected that at least three or four of the Republican party will get upon the committee. M. Dupin has been re-elected President of the Assembly by a large majority. The National publishes another manifesto of the Cen tral Democratic Committee to the Poles, exciting them to insurrection. It is signed by Ledru Rollin, Mazzini, Ruge, and others. The Court of Assizes of Douai has condemned the publisher of the Voix du Proscrit, the 'organ of the refugee committees in London, to three months' imprisonment for te seditious article. ATROCIOUS MURDER IN PARIS.—The police arrested on Sunday the young man who murdered a girl named Juliette Flame in a public-house in the Rue du Cherche- Midi. His name is Joseph Humblot, his age 19, and his occupation that of a waiter in a coffeehouse. The arrest was effected at 110, Rue St. Honore, in the residence of a concierge, who is a friend of his mother. He readily answered the questions put to him, and made this state ment :—" I know," he said, " that I have committed a horrible murder, and know the fate that awaits me. But lam not a monster—l was distracted—l had an attack of brain fever. During eight months," he continued, " I had intimate relations with Juliette ; I loved her passion ately, but at last I fancied I perceived she deceived me. I do not know whether I was right or wrong, but a vio lent jealousy took possession of me, and I resolved to kill her first, and myself afterwards. I was under the influ ence of these ideas when I met her on Wednesday. We went into the public house, and ascended to a bedroom. A bottle of wine was brought us, and Juliette seated her self on the bed. It was nearly nine o'clock, and vertigo seize I me. I passed my hand over her throat, which ap peared to surprise her; but before she had time to make any observation I seized a razor which I had for some time carried in my pocket, and, in one cur, made a severe wound in the throat. Poor wretch ! She had only time to cry Mother ! mother when she fell dead. I was troubled, and for a few moments knew not what I did. But at last I recovered my self-possession. I washed the blood from my hands and face. I opened the door, but when half-way down the staircase, tho idea of seeing her again recurred to me, and I went and kissed her for the last time. I hurried away. I went to the river and washed my trousers. Afterwards I went home, and said to my father and mother, ' Kiss me, for you will see me no more ; I am a great criminal, and deserve the scaffold ! In their stupor they did not think of stopping me. I went out of Paris, and slept in a lodging-house at one of the barriers. In the morning I was agitated, and did not know where to go. So I resolved to commit suicide. But before dying I determined to try to see Juliette once again. I went to the Morgue, where I thought her body would be taken ; but I arrived too late—she had been recognised by her mother, and the body had been removed. I listened to what was said in the crowd. A young girl has been murdered,' they said, and the murderer after wards threw the body into the river.' I shrugged my shoulders and went awey. I went to a church, with the intention of confessing to a priest, but not finding one, T wandered about the streets for some time, and at last left Paris. I only returned this morning. And now I have only to request that I may be condemned to death. My repentance and my chastisement will open to me the gates of heaven, and it is there alone that I can hope to see Juliette again." This statement was made with the greatest calmness. The prisoner had on a shirt stained with the blood of his victim. The expression of his fea tures is remarkably mild. He had procured himself a passport for a foreign country. A THUNDERSTORM IN INDIA.—On the 22nd of May, an extraordinary fall of ice occurred near Bangalore, during a storm of thunder, lightning, and rain ; the hailstones which at first made their appearance were about the size of limes or oranges ; but they broke through the tiles and roofs of houses, and destroyed gardens and fruit trees. Some of the hailstones found next morning were as large as goose eggs, some as big as pumpkins ; one block, found in a dry well, measured four feet . and a half in length, three in breadth, and one and a half in thickness. It was probably the result of the cementation of several of the smaller pieces into one lump, although the fall of pieces of ice of this size is not unfrequent in India. In the reign of Tippoo Sultan a piece was found the size of an elephant, which took several days to melt; in 1826, a piece of similar size fell in Candeish ; in 1838, a block of ice, apparently a mass of . cemented hailstones, was found near Dharwar, measuring twenty feet in circumference. COMMERCIAL. BomsA.Y..—The Money market was dull and easy. Little change in imports. In exports more doing, chiefly, however, in cottons, owing to the purchase of 4000 bales for Great. Britain.

Advices better, but had no material effect on the produce market, prices for most leading staples ruling much the same as at the daparture of last n.ail, with rather more doing, though wanting general activity. Imports continue in the same unsatisfactory state. Market for cotton goods somewhat worse, and no prospect of improvement; still the supplies are checked. Large sales of heavy goods take place daily, at constant downward-tending prices. The sales of damaged goods also injures the market. The only point in favour of imports is the exchange, which in the course of the month has given them an un expected advance of 2 to 4 per cent. DECLINE OF POPERY IN SARDINIA.—The Church of Rome, whatever success it may have flattered itself to have obtained in other countries, has most undoubtedly suffered greatly by the events of the last few years in Italy. Genoa, once celebrated for the attachment of its population 'co the religion of the state, and for the exact and devout keeping of its ceremonies and forms, is now fully as remarkable for their slack observance. The greater portion of its inhabi tants, I am sorry to say, seem to have lost the hereditary respect necessary for members of the Church of Rome, and to be undecided as to what course to pursue. The Pro testant chapel is much frequented by Italians ; the differ ence in the form of service, which is so very striking to a mind accustomed to the pomp of popery, at first scarcely satisfies an Italian imagination;: nevertheless, I am assured that secession from Romanism is very general. Confes sion is but little observed by the bulk of Genoese ; the spirit of the population, which is at enmity with the priesthood, prevents them from submitting to the humilia tion of the confessional, and sever, by that absention alone, one of the strongest links that connect the people with the clergy. The late amendments made in the ecclesiastical titles assumption bill may be said to have dealt a most decided blow on the projects of the papacy. A preacher here commenced his sermon by lamenting that now, indeed, all hope of salvation for Great Britain was at an end—alluding to the late act, no doubt. —Morning Chronicle. LYNCH LAW IN CALIFORNIA.—On the 10th of June a Sydney man named John Jenkins, alias Simpton, was detected in carrying off a safe from an office on Long Wharf, San Francisco, and after a struggle was arrested in his boat. He was immediately taken before the Com mittee of Safety, consisting of 100 or 200 citizens, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be hung within an hour. A minister was sent for, who endeavoured to administer consolation, but whose efforts were entirely disregarded by the hardened convict. At two o'clock at night he was taken to the public Plaza by the committee, and the result is thus given by the Herald of the next morning Arrived at the flag-staff, some were climbing up it to arrange the halter, when an earnest cry was raised by some present—' For God's sake, not to hang him on the liberty pole.' The appeal was heard, and those in charge of the execution mounted the beams on the south porch of the abode ; a rope was stretched across between two of the supporters, to the middle of which a block and pully were fastened ; another rope was run through this, with a noose at one end. The prisoner, who had not spoken a word, as far as we could bear, during the whole march and the dreadful preparations going on before him, was taken by his guard beneath the beam, the noose adjusted round his neck, and, in an instant, at ten minutes past two o'clock, he was jerked high in the air, and hung dangling from the beam. He was a very tall, stout, heavy man, and his struggles were violent, and continued several minutes. Gradually they ceased, and he swung slowly round and round. Those who were executing him held stedfastly on the end of the rope, keeping it tense and allowing no interference. They held him thus for twenty minutes, when, no doubt, the effort being very great, or the rope stretching, the hanging wretch imper ceptibly lowered until his feet hung several inches below the. top of the railing. No effort was made to avert his fate. Several hundred persons were on the ground at the time of the execution. When we left, at half-past two o'clock, he was still hanging, and a proposition had been offered to appoint a committee to hold him there until daylight. The hardened man walked to the gallows smoking a cigar, and had dropped the stub before he was launched into eternity. The rope was adjusted about his neck by Captain Wakeman, well remembered in New York for having sailed away from that city with the steamer New World while the sheriff's officers were on board.—New York paper. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—We hear from a private source that a rather extraordinary case is likely shortly to occupy the attention of the Bristol District Court of Bankruptcy. So long ago as 1769, a person named Con stable became bankrupt, and his affairs were wound up. It so happened that, some time before his failure, he had made a deposit of £5OO in one of the Bristol banks ; but, through some inadvertence, the deposit note was over looked, among the rest of the papers, and no mention was made of it, either in the balance-sheet or any of the proceedings under the fiat. Constable shortly afterwards died ;•and in the course of years, a change took place in the banking firm, and in the arrangement of the private affairs of the partners at this time (1820), the £5OO depo sited by old Constable was paid away to one of the retiring partners. Through a series of almost romantic circum stances, the papers in Constable's bankruptcy fell, with some others, into the hands of a highly respectable soli citor of this city, who, in searching for some other docu ments, alighted upon the deposit note of Constable, for £5OO, which sum had thus been lying at compound inte rest, at 2 per cent., during nearly a century, and which •has accumulated to the large sum of £1,700. The gentle man who made this discovery at onca communicated the fact to the official assignees. All the creditors and other persons interested in the bankruptcy have long since died, but it was resolved to try to obtain this money for their representatives. With this view it is intended to re-open the fiat, under the power given by the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, and for that purpose an application will shortly be made to one of the learned COramissiQntrg for this district. —Bath Gazette ORIGINAL 'CORRESPONDENCE. THE .ROMISH DOCTRINE >OF INTENTION. THIRD LETTER FROM THE REV. S. MINTON TO DR. NEWBIAN. REV. SlR,—After the candid manner in which Mr. St. John gives up the whole case in those parts of his letter already noticed, by admitting the difficulties raised against the doc trine of Intention to be " necessarily incidental" to it, we can scarcely be surprised at his adding, in the most " anti-Catho• lic" spirit imaginable, that in case a priest did withhold his intention, and thereby nullify the sacrament, " God would assuredly provide for the person's salvation by conferring the grace necessary in some extraordinary way." 1. Pray where is this decreed by your Church ? It won't do to say, that " of course" it must be so, and therefore it was quite unnecessary for her to decree anything of the kind. She has decreed that certain sacraments are essential to salvation, and that the . priest's intention is essential to the validity of a sacrament : if, therefore, she held that, notwithstanding all her anathemas against any one who should deny this, it made not the slightest difference to a person, whether the sacrament administered to him was nullified by want of the priest's inten tion or not, she would certainty hare said so, and have de nounced one of her numerous anathemas against any one who should affirm the contrary. 2. Hut this is evidently to deny the doctrine of Intention. For if God will assuredly confer all " necessar) grace" to- those who seek it, whether the priest intends to administer sacra ments to them or not, the want of such intention does not hinder the efficacy of those sacraments. The " ordinary"' and " extraordinary way" that Mr. St. John speaks of, are only part of the mystification " necessarily incidental" to that sacramental system which Rome has substituted for Christi. anity. If there be any meaning at all in sacramental grace, it can only mean this—that God will " assuredly confer" certain graces on the performance of certain acts. The question is,- whether those acts are efficacious,—that is, whether God will "assuredly confer" the particular graces, supposing the priests who perform them do not intend them to be sacraments. " Whosoever shall affirm" this, is pronounced by the Council of Trent to be " anathema." Mr. St. John, all heedless of the anathema, does affirm it. 3. But this is not all. For, as if to guard against any such daring detraction from the powers of the priesthood as Mr. St. John is guilty of, till Council of Trent expressly decrees, that a penitent is not to " flitter himself" that his sins are forgiven, if the priest have not absolved him "'with a serious intention"; in other words. he is not to flatter himself that God will make up for the priest's failure by " conferring the grace" of for giveness upon him in some ' extraordinary way." 4. Again :if God confers grace upon-a person in spite of the priest's intention to the contrary, what becomes of the preten sions, pounded upon your Church's interpretation of Christ's words, " Whatsoever ye shall bind on - earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven"? 5. Once more. Your Missal declares, that if any priest at Mass does not intend to consecrate any given wafer, such wafer is not consecrated, but remains just what it was before. Now this is a plain matter of fact. The congregation first worship,. and then eat, what look like bits of paste, on the supposition of their having been changed by the priest into so many entire Gods. But if the priest have withheld his inten tion, they are not so changed at all, but continue bits of paste and nothing else. Under these circumstances, I ask two ques tions. First,—ln what " extraordinary way" are such wor shippers saved from the grossest idolatry? And secondly,— In what " extraordinary way" are they enabled literally (which you contend is essential to salvation) to " eat the flesh of the Son of ti.an, and drink his blood"? How is that flesh and blood supplied to them when the "ordinary" means fail, namely, the power of the priest to create Creators at his will? --which Creators, by the bye, you tell us in your fourth lec ture, have to be "protected" from the malice of their own creatures by " iron bars" !! So much for Mr. St. John's defence of the doctrine of Inten tion. Now for your defence of Romaiiism generally. Of your first lecture enough has been said already. You little thought, when comparing your Protestant opponents to little children who cry out against you in the streets and "run away when they meet your eye," bow soon the picture was to he reversed, and yonyourself exhibited in that identical posi tion. The practical illustration you have afforded of what you mean by not being "permitted to be heard in your defence," may perhaps assist the good people of Birmingham to put a proper construction upon your other assertions, and to distin guish between " facts"and " fictions," between" arguments" and "'fallacies."' The whole of your second, third. and fourth lectures may be condensed into this single statement—that the hostility of Protestants against Popery is the result of " wholesale, retail, systematic, and' unscrupulous lying." Stories- without any foundation are widely circulated, implicitly believed, and be come " the Protestant tradition." Tnis idea,, enlivened by a variety of illustration, and nresented in language-which agree ably turns, as occasion may require, " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," furnishes the entire stapleof thethree lectures. The interests of Protestantism advanced by- falsehood ! Strange accusation against a Church (for it is al ainst the Church of England your shafts are mainly burled) which ap peals to the word of the living God as its sole rule of faith and practice, and which repudiates everything but what " may be read therein or proved thereby"l The interests of Protestantism advanced by falsehood ! Strange accusation from one who has done more than any man living, in this country at least, to advance-the interests of Romanism by the acknowledged practice of " ceconomy" ! Strange accusation from one who quotes with approbation the following representation of what a Christian- ought to do:— " He both thinks and speaks the truth, EXCEPT WHEN CONSI DERATION IS NECESSARY; AND THEN, AS A PHYSICIAN FOR THE 000 D OF HIS PATIENTS, HE WILL BE FALSE, OR UTTER A FALSEHOOD, AS THE SOPHISTS SAY : nothing, however, but his neighbour's good will lead him to do this ; he gives himself up for the Church"! Strange accusation from one who gives the following excuse for his own former denunciations of Popery while himself a Papist at heart :—" Irsaid to myself, I am not speaking my own words ; I: am but following almost a consensus of the Divines of my Church. They have ever used the strongest language against Rome, even the most able and learned of them. I wish to throw myself into their system. While I say what they say I am safe. Such views, too, are necessary for our position. Yet I have reason to fear still that such language is to be ascribed in no small measure to an im petuous temper, a hope of approving myself to persons I re spect, and a wish to repel the charge of Romanism."—Surely, sir, it any Protestant has been wicked enough to invent a false story against some particular nunnery "for the go-;d of his neighbour,"—that is, to save his fellow-creatures from such a doom,—you at least might make all due allowance for him. We should not admit his motives as the smallest justificat.on of his conduct, because we repudiate such principles: but Dr. Newman is scarcely the man to begin casting stones at him so vigorously; for might he not suppose it to be " necessary for his position,"—at least if he were ignorant of the multitude of authenticated instances, quite as. bad as any that Pr; estant malice could invent. which even Roman Catholic historians themselves relate to us._ _ I remain, Rev. Sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, July 30th. SAMUEL MINTON. (To be continued.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION. TUESDAY.-68,496 persons visited the buidling, and £3281 10s. was the amount of money taken at the doors. By the sale of season tickets £6 6s was realised. Iwo incidents occurred in the course of the day. The Acis and Galatea fountain of Mr. Thomas, exhi bited in the nave, fell down with a great crash. This fountain was, we believe,, built upon the flooring of the building, and not upon any foundation of its own, and the vibration of the flooring, in connection with the hasty and faulty manner in which the fountain had been erected, led to the downfall and perfect wreck which it now pre sents. The second casualty, which, fortunately, was not attended with any personal injury, occurred in the Medi-. reval Court. In the eastern part of the court, occupied by Messrs. Hardiman, was an altar-piece, above which,, and suspended from an ornamental beam or cornice, were a number of silver lamps, each containing candles. The beam was supported by cords secured to the girders of the galleries, the constant vibration,of which had fretted away the substance of the cords, and the whole mass. fell to the ground. The amount of damage done was,, we believe, very considerable. WEDNESDAY.—The receipts at the doors amounted to £2,835 65., and the number of visitors, according to the police returns, was 58,382. THURSDAY. — The number of persons who entered the building was 57,849, and the receipts at the doors amount ed to £2BOO 16s. _ _ FRIDAY. — Tho number of persons who visited the interior was 26,897. The amount received for season tickets disposed of at the reduced price was £53. The amount of money taken at the doors was £2,852 23 6d, making the total sum £2,905 2s 6d. The temperature during the day, according to Mr. Bennett's thermometer, was at 10 o'clock a.m., 68 deg. ; at noon, 72.;: at 2 o'clock p.m., 77 • at 4 o'clock p. m., 77 ; at 6 o'clock p.m., 77 ; making die daily mean temperature 74.2. The following letter has been addressed to the Times, by Mr. William Coningliam,—and if the statement con tained in it be true, it reflects very little credit on the executive committee :—" Permit me, through the medium of your journal, to direct the attention of the public to the Sunday performances of the Executive Committee of the Exhibition, covered though they be by the impecca bility of a Royal Commission. Signor Monti, a well known Italian sculptor, resident in London, was one of those who contributed some groups of statuary to the great bazaar in Hyde-park, among which may be remarked two girls fishing—the daughters of an English gentleman —and the statue of a veiled nymph. The other day, on entering Mr. Henneman's establishment, in Regent street, Signor Monti discovered a photograph of one of these statues, which had been taken entirely without his knowledge or permission ; and he was still more surprised on learning that the counterproof had bean carried off to Paris, where, by this time, his statue may be elready pirated in clay or porcelain by some of those persons who are to be distinguished from artists as art-manufactu rers.' Last Friday week Mr. Tudor purchased the veiled nymph, then apparently perfect and intact. On the Monday following, however, three of the fingers of the nymph were found broken off; and Signor Monti, on inquiring among the police, learned that friends of the Executive Committee, who are, it appears, admitted gratis on Sunday in considerable numbers, had removed the statue from its place on that day for the purpose of taking a photograph of it, without Signor Monti's knowledge or permission ; and it was during this operation that the fingers were broken off or separated from the statue, which has thus led to an exposure. Mr. Tudor has now refused to take the statue ; and, although the Royal Com missioners may give compensation for the loss of the £2OO, I consider it my duty as an Englishman to make known these facts, and to bring public opinion to bear upon such unjustifiable proceedings. It is asserted that the fingers had been already broken off and repaired ; but that does not in the least affect the question at issue, which is, whether the Executive Committee is to be allowed the special privilege of pirating the works of exhibitors with. out their express permission." As Mr. Heywood's motion for a reprieve of the Crystal Palace till May has been carried, the public will have ample time to maAe up its mind whether or not, at the end of that time, it should be removed. In the mean time projectors will have a fine field for developing their different schemes, both with respect to the building and the surplus funds of the commission. That body has still before it a large amount of work to perform before its objects are fulfilled, and its existence can properly termi nate. The awards are yet to be announced, the prizes to be distributed, the great spectacle to be closed, and an enormous mass of property to be cleared out, and restored to its owners. Colonel Lloyd, R. E. one of the special Commissioners, has suggested to the R oyal Commissioners that, under their sanction, a circular be ad d resse d tot such exhibitors Who may have contributed to the Exhibi tion raw materials, products, processes of manufactures, models, &c., proposing to them that such contribution?, where practicable, may be m ad e a donation to some public institution for the diffusion of g eneral practical icnowl ed g e i and that such circular be followed up by proper I:2!rs °l g, application to all parties where convenient. ne proposes that the objects so presented should be p la ces under the charge of the Society of Arts and Sciences 01 London ; for which purpose a proper building should be obtained by means voted from the funds of the Itorff Commission, who would impose certain condition s, necessary, for the due fulfilment of the charge wh ich, under such circumstances, would be intrusted to the ' Such a museum- would approach in its object the esta blishment in Faris termed the C o nservatoire des Art s et Metiers.
