At the breaking up of the weekly Bank Court, the directors announced that the rate of discount will in future•be 44 per cent. The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURITIES, to-day, was almost at a stand. The market opened heavily, and n9twithstanding a partial rally through a large purchase of Consols, the announce ment of a rise in the Bank rate of discount caused an immediate decline of s per cent., Consols for money being now quoted 944 to 4, and 944 to for next month ; India Stock has been dealt in at 2201- ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock for account 1041, and Exchequer Bills, 16s. pm.' The Funds closed at the following prices : Consols, Money account94l Exchequer Bills Bank Stock - Three per Cents The following appeared in a portion of our second edition of yesterday : Increased heaviness prevailed to-day in the • Stock - Exchange. Speculative realisations were pressed in consequence of the unsatisfactory character .of the edntinental advices, combined with a rumour that an . advance in the Bank of England rate of discount at to-morrow's weekly court-is not improbable. All the markets closed with a heavy and sensitive appearance at the lowest point of the day. The reduction finally established in Consols -amounted to per cent. The - demand at.the Bank to-clay was very brisk, only the choicest paper is taken elsewhere at 4 per cent.—Daily News. The English funds have not experienced any further change, to-day from political considera tions, but the renewed feeling of uncertainty again interrupts business in all departments. A temporary- further decline in the morning was attributable •to a great pressure in the discount market, which is likely to continue to the end of the -week, and' -which led to the 'circulation of a report that an advance of 1 per cent..in the Bank rate may be expected at the weekly court to morrow. The excessive demand at this moment is not from any outflow of bullion, but simply from the absorption of ,the currency from the hands of the public into those of the Bank by the--magnitude of the revenue payments ; and it has never yet been the practice of the Bank to take advantage of that circumstance to increase the terms on which they will allow it to flow back. Unless there are some reasons unknown to the public, an advance of the rate to 5 per cent. previously to the payment of the dividends would seem precipitate. No gold was taken from the Bank to-day. In the railway market there has been -little general business done, and after a few fluctuations British stocks closed at a further decline of 4, to a per cent. —Times. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day was on the whole less depressed than during -yes terday ; but no - actual recovery has taken place, and business transactions are limited.

In the House of Lords last night, it was stated that it was intended to exempt yeonianry horses from the liorse_ta.x, _On _the _subject of Indian finance and the plan of Mr. Wilson, the Duke of Argyll said that the official despatch would be produced' as , soon 'EIS: it arrived; and then .the whole matter might be brought under discussion. .In the House ,of Commons, Sir R. Peel, gave notice that on the morrow (this day) he should call attention to the position of Switzerland with reference to the -annexation of Savoy to France. In answer to Mr. -Bowyer's question as to a note, dated the 29th day of February last, from Rome, to the Nuncto'at Pari; lord John RUssell said that Cardinal AntOnelli had promised that a copy of it would be forwarded to the Government. When it arrived, it would be laid before the House. Sir C. Wood said that arrangements were now in progress in India respecting the mode of distributiorcof the Lucknow prize money. In reply to, Lord Ashley, Sir G. C. Lewis . said that no sharpshooting was allowed on the part of the volunteers near the public footpaths. Mr: Cardwell and the Lord-Advocate respectively stated that they should propose the second reading of the Irish and Scotch Reform Bills on Friday, the 20th of April. Colonel Sykes moved for a series of papers having reference to the reorgani sation of the Indian army. After a discussion, the motion was negatived without a division. Mr. Lindsay moved an humble address to Her Majesty for entering into negotiations with the French, for the reciprocal - abrogation of all dis criminating duties levied upon the vessels and their cargoes of either of the two nations in . the ports of the other. After some dis eusgion - the motion was agreed to. Mr. Cardwell obtained _leave to introduce a bill to amend the law relating to the tenure . and improvement of -land in -Ireland. Mr. Deasy introduced a bill to coniOlidaie 'and amend law of landlord. and ' tenant in: - Ireland. Mr: Wise's motion for a select committee to inquire into - the miscellaneous expenditure was agreed to. The Common Lodging-houses (Ireland) Bill was read a second . tithe. The second reading of the Pawnbrokers' Bill was carried by 178 to 32. The consideration of the Income-tax Bill as amended was adjourned. The Stamp Duties Bill passed through committee. . The reply of the . Swiss Government to the French Minister's note, in answer to the protest of the Confederation against the 'annexation of Savoy, is one involving a .great principle of European policy... The peace of. Europe has long 'been maintained by treaties,—by solemn acts of the European Powers,---:-and to these the Swiss Government now appeals for the preservation of . that neutralisation which, Louis Napoleon is setting at . nought . Let us hope they will be supported. , . The Paris papers, if they do not all actually . write "to order," Yet' at their peril would say anything contrary to the Imperial will. Their statements, therefore;...must be regarded as made, if not under the 'direction of the Government, yet so as to be agreeable to it. So that when the Constitutionnel says the departure of the French army . from Rome only waits upon the assurance 'that the safety of the Pope will still be secured, one sees at once what the impression-is that the French Emperor wishes to produce. We think it more than probable, howeVer, that the French troops twill not leave Rome, until replaced by those of some other Power. "The army of an Italian Power" is mentioned. Besides Sardinia, there: is no other:ltalian Power, but Naples that could now send an army—or any number of troops ; - and a Sardinian army, under present circumstances, would be quite out of the question. The Paris paper referred-to:says, that "negotiations with Naples have been spoken of, and if the course of events should - lead 'to such an event, France will not certainly raise any obsta "cle." Perhaps not, at present. But one cannot tell what might come of it. " The unsatisfactory character, of the Conti nental advices" is still assigned ai•the disturbing and depressing influence on the Stock Exchange. Increased heaviness is- reported as ,prevailing ; and " a feeling of uncertainty," we are told, " interrupts business in all departments." Foreign politics, are of course, at the bottom of it all ; and politics which- our own Government have done only too much to render mischievous to all Europe, as well as to ourselves: The Morning Herald, with significant emphasis, and' with patriotic gratulation, points to the gra tifying fact, that' the Volunteer movement still prospers, "in spite of a facetious Prime Minister, and of - the , solemn doubts of grave military authorities as to where all this soldiering is to end, and of what use it is to be." There is scarcely a county'iri England; Wales; of Scdtland, we are assured, that liits"notalready furnished its quota . of , 4 hearts resolved and hands prepared," for any emergency' that may arise to requite their active setviCei. It remains,' therefore, for Hpr i Majesty's Governmenti to' make the most Of th.O. Means of :defence thus furnished to their hands ;; and in furtherance ',effieien3y of such moans, the National Rifle Association is considered a valua :ble instruincntaTity. " If," says our Conservative ;contemporary, " the hapless day ' should ever - arrive that'a foreign enemy touch our shores the . foe May learn' by bitter experience; what we *know with pride, - that the rifles of 0101, England are as deadly' as the cloth-yard shaft:! If that day should, happily, never . come, then we have the proud 'satisfaction of knowing .that at the bidding of their Queen a hUndred thousand 'brave hearts were ready to die in her defence ; that this was the spirit, not of a few, but of the nation at large. From. the patron, the Prince .Consort . himself, down to. the veriest tyro iu the 'Little Pedlington sharpshooters, there is but one cry of ready' throughout the land. The echo of it will spread far and wide for good, and keep up the price of Consols even as much as the sell ing of 'calico in-the French market at an increased profit of 10 per cent." At a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Merchant Shipping, Mr. Horsfall in the chair, a report,of which will be found in another column, .our townsman Mr. Lamport, it will be ;een, gave 'somewhat remarkable evidence as to the difficulty of manning our merchant: ships. " His opinion was, he is reported to have said, ." that if 'the. navigation laws had not been repealed there would have been more British tonnage, but he did not thinkthey would have., been able to man their ships with British sailors. He never knew 'a sailor of thirty years of age who was not anxious to leave the sea if he could find anything to do on shore." Now there must be something wrong, if this be true. And. what. it we believe, is the poor pay which the gliipoWners . eal now only afford - to .give the sailors, • The *hipping trade has been so .injnrect . Under the •Oreration of modern fegislation,:thett e sailors are all "anxious to leave the sea, if they can find anything to do on shore." Mr.„Lamport describes the Arnerican4Ateln as. one that is to give to any .foreign 7lation what tlira.liatirhi will give to it. But:.thkefUsal of the`tt.J,:nite States to open ,theii ! aiiting trade. to ris;'i at:variance with that system. Mr' Laniport's,yersidn of it is, that • whep2:tlie Americans opened-0 whole of their Irade kr.s. with the exceptiOn of the coasting trade; pO;sibly . kheir reason for not including the .dasting'irade •Wirs.that weffid not open ours until four years afterwards." Yet he is not without hope, he declares, that the Americans themselves will by-and-bye insist on the removal of the restrictions which now exist. The Zimes„ with, most amusing sophistry, persists in arguing, that " the French treaty is not a bargain,"—it only "bears the outward and visible semblance of a bargain!" But, for the matter of that, it is only an " outward and vi sible semblance" altogether, as yet ; and whether it will ever become anything more, is somewhat doubtful just now. The leading; journal, .how - ever, wants it to be made a bargain as respects. paper. As proposed by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, it is shown, "you dam up the raw material by an export duty of 50 per cent. ; you let the manufactured article flow in free." And it is asked, " What must be the operation of this upon the Englishman who exists by buying raw material and selling the manufactured article ?" Why the ruin of his trade, of course. But what of that ? Paper-making is not a Manchester manufacture. Still, as in Printing-house-square, the price of paper is a consideration, our contemporary of that ilk insists upon a bargain being made of it. "We have the largest paper-market in the whole world to offer to a people who already produce very good paper, and who have an immense gathering-ground for rags. Surely we are in a position to ask some thing in return for this." No doubt of it what ever. But then that would not bd free trade,- it would be reciprocity. THE Liberals in the House of Commiins'ininSt be a party very heedless of all fair and honest prin -eiple, or they could never, as they reported to have done, have loudly cheered the Church-rate Abolition Bill on its passing through committee. Even were such a, measure deemed, expedient, as a political concession or compromise,—though we are far from saying that it really is so—still it would be most indecorous to greet so iguopinious • . an act with applause, implying as it does, that there are legislators for a Christian nation who, even on A great Christian question, can glory in their shame. We regard it as such, not merely as being a Church subject, but as a matter of justice and right—of national good faith and moral obligation. We pray for the High Court of Parliament, that their consultations may be directed' and prospered to the good of the Church which yet they not only do.not scruple to de'SpoiPo rights of property to which she has even a-higher claini than, they have to any, of theirs, but sig nalise their sacrilegious success with cheers ! How can it ever be expected that " truth and justice," to say nothing of " religion and piety,' can be " established among us"—as we further pray it may, by their endeavours, come to pass — if so flagrant a course of wrong as this is to be extolled and exulted in ? We say distinctly and emphatically of wrong,—for let it not be for gotten that the greater part of the property of this country has been bought and sold with an understanding that the Church of the pariqf was tabe kept and repaired by the owners of that property,—except for which liability, 'a larger price world have been" paid for 'it'. "For those therefore," as a writer on the question has well observed, " who have thus profited by the exist ence of a Churchrrate, to refuse that rate, and so appropriate to themselves what does not belong to them, is an act not only of profatieness,"%ut of dishonesty." The amendment which Mr. NEWDE GATE proposed would at least have respected that principle, providing as it did that there be estab lished in lieu of Church-rates, thenceforth to be abolished, a charge on all hereditarnents in respect of the occupancy of which Church-rates have been paid within the last seven years, such charge to be levied with the county-rate at a uniform rate of poundage, the occupier - being; - in - nll, rages, entitled to deduct the amount of the charge levied on his occupation. This, we say, would have maintained the right of preperty, and secured a continued provision for the maintenance of the Church's fabrics,—an object in which every man, be he Churchman or Dissenter, is more or less directly interested. "It respected the conscien tious scruples of the Dissenters ; it accepted the decision of the House that Church-rates should be abolished- as a personal tax ; whilt, on the other hand, it preserved the property of the Church, and prevented the landowners rom pocketing that property to the extent of £300,000 yearly." Surely this were an equitable course for the Parliament of a great country to pursue on such a question. But, instead of pursuing it, or anything like it, the House - of Commons have .passed a bill of grass spoliation and sacrilege, — an act of injustice and .injury which Parliament would never dare to require any lay corporation to submit to. Now, a right of this kind possessed by the Established Church,- , --,a - right at once equitable, reasonable, and legal,—is not one the enforcement of which can with any truth be said to infringe upon a just toleration. The system of the Estab lished Church is that of a comprehensive national religion, guarded by necessary articles of peace and confOrmity, yet recognising, a complete tole ration of all Dissenters from its doctrines, and all Separatist§ from its pale i and it is one that has been truly described " as' not only the most just and • liberal; but the wisest and safest system which a State can adopt : inasmuch as it unites the several perfections which a religious consti .tution ought to aim at,—liberty of conscience, with the means of instruction ; the progress of truth, with the peace of society ; the right of pri vate judgment, -with the care of the public safety." Such a system as this, then, deserves to be supported; and with,itsrrights of property, espe cially—the enforcement of which is so necessary, so essential to its support—surely there ought on no account to be any unjust interference ; least of all any actual destruction of those rights. It-is all very fine for the Dissenters to Pretend that they " did not think the abolition of Church rates would ipjure the Church, brit, on_ the con • trary, they believed that 'Still greater benefits would be conferred upon the Church by the adop tion of the Voluntary principle." Is it, in the first place, to be- believed ; that- the-ppponents of the Church really and sincerely wish to see " still greater benefits conferred upon her.? " And, in the next place, where is there any - ground of assurance that " the adoption of the Voluntary principle " would sustain the fabrics of our parish churches ? Why, in the United States, where that principle is in full operation, it is just in this respect that it most signally fails. They do contrive, upon that principle, to maintain, in one way or another, the ministers of religion; but for the fabrics of their places of worship, they cannot succeed at all. The value of these buildings throughout the, Union is now estimated, we believe, at not much short of a hundredmillions of dollars ;- and of this sum, at least thirty millions of dollars, 9r 'six mil lions of pounds sterling is debt—debt which is felt as the great curse of their ecclesiastical system. The whole question, - however;; is before the country ; and a large amount of sound public opinion will back up the House of Lords, or we are much mistaken , i n their rejection of this sacrilegious bill of spoliation which the Commons are about to send up to theM again. The Morn ing Herald has well expressed the present state of the case, when it says There is no further concealment as to the ultimate intention of those who take the part of the abolitionists. argument and suggestion which has been pu forward against Church-rates is equally available against: any - support accorded to the Church of England. We have the same'alliance - which.was found under,J4,llfs 11. ancl,u94er_9F)RGE IV.— a league of Socinian Dissenters and Romanists— of those who belieVe nothing that is credible, and those who believe everything that is incredible.

Lord PALMEitSTON asked - where would 'be the real difference between an army ander the Company and an army under the Queen. But an army not under-the control of Parliament would be 'an unconstitutional force, and Parliament would have that control over a force from the general army which it had not over a heal force. The Governor-General would have exactly the same power over the movement of the European as over those of the lobe 'force.

Mr. LINDSAY moved that an humble address be pre sented to,her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to enter into negotiations with the Emperor of the French, with the view of making a treaty for the reciprocal abrogation of all discriminating duties levied updnithe vessels and their cargoes of either of the two , nations in the ports of the other, and for procuring each alterations in the navigation laws of France as may tend to facilitate the commercial intercourse, and strengthen the friendly relations. between England and Fiance. He made this motion, yet more- in the 'interest -of. France ' than of England, entering into the history of the navigation laws and their result, to prove the soundness of his views. If the French Government was not pre- • pared to go to the full extent of his demand, they ought ' to treat the trade from our eolonies on the same principle as .that of the mother country. He trusted -that the Government woUld- use its utmost efforts to impress upon France, that, if the treaty was to produce, the results - expected, she must make serious changes in her navigation laws. HORSFALL secondeded the motion, hoping that it would have not only the support of the Government, but the unanimous support of the House. _ — Mr. M. GIBSON promised,'on'tfiTpart - of the Govern ment, to use all due carein obtaining a iemission of the French navigation laws ; and he hoped. that its efforts would be as successful here as it, was elsewhere. - , The change would, he believed, be as advantageous to France as to ourselves. „ • • , After some further discussion the motion was agreed to. Mr. CARD WELL moved forleave to introduce a bill to amend the law relating to the tenure and improvement of land in . Ireland. The subject had occupied the atten tion of the country since 1815, especially since the labours of the Devon 'Commission. Each succeeding Government had made efforts and proposals to settle the question without success. Private individuals, 'as Sergeant Shee and Mr. Maguire, had made a similar attempt with a.similar result. The present Government had hopes of being able to obtain a more successful issue : first, because the condition of Ireland was mueli improved; and secondly, because previous discussions had pointed out the course to be pursued. The distinc: tion of the relations of landlord and tenant in' Irelanil, and those of other parts of the empire, were allowed and it must be borne in mind that the question must be settled in accordance with the . peculiar condition. of Irish society. The Devon commission had observed that in England and Scotland the landlord provided farm buildings and offices, and kept the lanes and fences in order. This, owing to the • smallneis of the farms_in Ireland, was not then done, and this difference in law and practice Was the foundation of all legislation on the subject: Improvements had since 'that commission taken place, which rendered the task of legislation more easy. Since 1846, by money spent in works and drainage, arid the multiplication of railroads, the greatest impro've meat had been derived to Ireland. The value of live-stock since 1815 had doubled. The proportion of small bold.' inga had changed; 2,000,000 of acres had been sold undet the' Enctimbered Estates Court to 8,500 persons, most of these ready to expend large sums in the improvement of their property. The rate of wages now averaged ls. .3d. per day. Evictions and crime had greatly decreased, as had pauperism and the expenditure for the relief of the poor. The present was therefore a favour able time for legislating on the subject, and 'establishing a hied and definite law, under which landlord, tenant, and workman might invest their capital and labour faireft de osp r seetetotflepthroea. and the w le it t i h io c u l t au l d e l ase oi held d ., Under such conditions neither party had any encourage- , merit to invest money i n improvement. They proposed i T t o h d e e a ia l n with ciord t h,estehcategories o u t n . h a m ; ted lease,hol d a c n r d s o t f tl p e rop without lease, follo win g the p recedent of many former ertlY tenant 4 acts. He proposed that money might be borrowed on the security of settled estates, for purposes of 'draining buildings, farm houses, and other 'modes, of improvirtgl the land. For this purpose application to the Court of Chancery had been found too dear, and it was not too stitutional to apply to the commissioners of valuation= He therefore proposed that the first application should. be made to the chairman of the county. The limited owner of an estate would by the hill have, by means of an agent, to give notice to his succhssion, and after having so done, the chaixmah would have the power of granting what he called a charging order. Money bor rowed under this o r d er , wou ld be charged as an annuity on estate, payable f0r.25 years, at therate of 7s. the 2d. annually.for each £IOO. With respect to the tenant under lease they proposed to extend the existing law b y" giving'the power of granting improvement leases, and to grant that power to corporate bodies. This WO would promote draining, making fences and roads, and building farm houses. They proposed that improve , ment leases might be granted with the sanction of the chairman of the county f or forty years ; • and building leases, with the sanction of the Estate Courts, it' the land , was beyond three acres; and if less, with the sanction of the chairman of the county. Th e re remained. t he most difficult part of the question—that of the tenant ; holding without lease. He stated at the outset what I they could not 'do. He could not give retrospection cornpensaticrn. His. bill -,.vnis simply ProsPer7 He entreated those who thought the retrospective co y oi pensation could be afforded to' regard the such attempts, which had always failed to . ebtara r :9r sanction of the House, and. urged them not to s acrifice what was practicable for what was i m practip4bleL ° 4 Could he believe that a measure . would be l l; without giving the landlord the pow er of objet ant h i h t e improvements if he did not appro ve of-Abe n .did not believe that they could insure, the proving
