CHURCH RATES.

On Thursday Mr. CLAY moved for leave to intro-
duce a bill for the total abolition of church rates.
The simple abolition proposed last year was some-
what modified this, by a clause regulating the ma-
nagement of voluntary contributions by churchmen
towards the support of churches, and authorising
the churchwardens to let a certain portion of the
pews. As before, the bill provided for the main-
tenance of church rates, when there were charges
on them under acts of Parliament.

Mr. WinnAm opposed the bill. It was a bill, he
said, pressed forward by the middle classes, who had
bought house property, subject to church rates, and
now wished to get rid of them.

The discussiOn which followed was of a desultory
kind. Mr. Drummond and Colonel Sibthorp argued
that the churches were national property, subject to
national care as much as any other public building;
while Mr. Muntz and Mr. S. Ball contended that the
law was in so unsatisfactory a state that it brought
the Church into contempt. Lord Stanley on the
one side of the house, and Lord Palmerston on the
other, both agreed on the necessity of putting the
subject on a proper footing. On the interest of the
Established Church itself, Lord Palmerston said
that he should oppose the introduction of the bill.
Leave was given, by 155 to 76.
EDUCATION.

On Thursday Mr. M. Gmsow brought in, as he
had promised, the third educational measure, founded
altogether on the sectarian principle. It was read
the first time without opposition, and almost without
discussion.

SATURDAY,

Moniteur. It correctly describes his policy as tending to the seizure
of Turkey, and, curiously enough, signalises those acts of aggression
to which Lord PALM EASTON was an assenting party during his adminis-
tration of our foreign affairs, as the principal means to her end ; as, for
example, the extension of her influence in Persia, the extinction of ,
Polish independence, and the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. The article
is conceived in a generous spirit, and in its conclusion points to the
death of the CZAR as removing an obstacle to peace :
A great nation like France does not rejoice when death strikes down her adversary,
however powerful he may be ; but the world understands how Heaven removes from the
scene of struggle the Sovereign who had commenced it, and who was en obstacle to the
peace of the world.
For the operations of the siege little can be said. Some gallant
actions have occurred between the Zouaves and the Russian riflemen,
in which the latter, were driven out of their pits and position at the
point of the bayonet, while the latest official intelligence informs us
that the French batteries were ready to open fire as soon as the
English attack had completed its preparations. With regard to our
batteries one material point has come to light this week. It appears
that although we have throwu up detached works within 600 and 1,000
yards of the Russian line of defence, yet our actual " attacks," as
they are called in engineering parlance, are precisely identical with
those with which we opened fire on the 17th of October last. Now,
although the armament of the " attacks" is very much heavier on this
than on the former occasion, yet, on the other hand, that is balanced
by the increased number of earthworks which the Russians have thrown
up, the principal batteries that we were opposed to in October being
stonoworks ; hence the advantage is manifestly upon the side of the
Russians, who have pushed their works upon us, not we ours upon
them. Of the movements of the Russians nothing is known, except
that large bodies of troops are observed constantly marching to and
fro near Sebastopol, and that, as far as can be judged from their bivouac
fires on the heights, their numbers are vastly increasing. They have
thrown up immense workti both to block up the Turks in Eupatoria
and the allies in their camp.
By despatches from the Black Sea fleet, we learn that some slight
successes have been obtained upon the coast, but that an attack upon
Soujak-Kale failed from want of the promised support of the Circas-
sians. However, we are willing to hail these attempts as proof of a
more active principle regulating the fleet, though rather late in the
campaign, Soujak-Kale being the very spot that the Turkish expedition
was fitted out in May last to attack, but which expedition Admiral.
DIINDAS and his Government, being wise in their generation, thought
roper to prevent.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION
AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST: instituted 1642;
incorporated 1850.—The Commatee of Management have the
pleasure to announce that His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND,
the presidert of the Institution, has kindly consented to take the
ehali at the FESTIVAL to be held in Commemoration of the
Opening of the New Wing, on Wednesday, the 9th of May next,
in Willis's Rooms, St. James's.
The Committee, in expressing their earnest hope that upon this
occasion the friends of this charity will give their influential sup-
port and attendance, beg to notice, that thirteen years ago there
was no Hospital for Consumption, nor any shelter to be found
for the victims of a national disease; that since the opening of the
first portion of the new building in 1846, no less than 3,295 in-
patients and 28.300 out•patients have been treated, and In many
instances the disease has been successfully overcome; that. so
great is the demand for admission, the names of 165 persons,
upon an average, are always upon the books as unable:o be taken
in for want of room ; that this paiiifid circumstance, continually
pressing itself upon the notice of the Committee, has determined
them, in full reliance upon the necessary increase of public
support, to throw open in the course of a few weeks the whole of
the new wing, which will accommodate 130 additional patients;
that, in taking this decided step, avast addition of responsibility
is about to be incurred, and upon this ground the Committee
earnestly appeal for kind and special consideration at the pre-
sent very important period in the history of the Charity.
A donation of 311. 10s. constitutes a Lite Governor, and an
annual subscription of 31.35. a Governor.

Subscriptions and donations in aid of this Charity are received

RUSSIA.
_

The Abeill4 du Nord publishes a fanatical appeal
to the Russian people to rise in arms for the defence
of the Orthodox Church. It calls upon the clergy
to exhort their flocks to fight for the good cause, and
to impress upon them that the present war is
the ancient war "of the Prince of Darkness against
the Kingdom of Christ." It concludes with a prayer
to the Almighty to admit those who fall on the field
of battle for the good cause at once into the Kingdom
of Heaven.
Letters from St. Petersburg assert that the nobles
of Tiflis have offered to call out and arm their serfs
at their own expense, in order that they may assist in
carrying on the war with vigour.

THE TYRANNY OF ROUTINE.

--- - -
While the nation may be congratulated on the improved
state of its brsvc defenders, it is impossible to convey to it
any hopes that the spirit of routine and official folly is about
to be eradicated. One anecdote, which may be relied upon,
will serve to give a conception of the Scntariote medical

MAMMA

mind. Five officers are in a bad state of health, and must
be sent home. Recourse is had to Dr. Menzies for a
Board, to which that gentleman sees no objection. But
an unexpected difficulty occurs. A quadruplicate applica-
tion must be made on foolscap paper in every case. and
Dr. Menzies stock of foolscap is exhausted. Dr. Cumming,
also, on being applied to, declares that there is none in his
possession. In short, it is discovered that the depart-
ment is destitute of an indispensable implement in its
action, and must remain in a state of collapse until some
supply arrives from home. The unhappy invalids hasten
over to Pera, and ransack the stalls of the Jewish stationers,
but in vain. Foolscap is a British production, while the
Turkish capital is mostly supplied with writing materials
from Paris or Vienna. At last it is discovered that
" Staunpa " has foolscap, and the medical department re-
receives notice of the fact. But, if Dr. Menzies purchases
a quire, it will possibly be at his own expense, and at
least another quire will be taken up in the correspondence
relative to reimbursement. He therefore hesitates to take
the step. One of the officers then sa3a that he will buy
some, but is at once met by the objection that the medical
department cannot receive stores of any kind except from
the properly constituted authorities The invalids have
missed a steamer, and are now at the twelfth day of their
detention ! What solution of the difficulty ingenuity may
achieve is in the darkness of the future ; but I have just
seen one of the sufferers, who is very desponding as to his
chances of speedy departure.—Times Correspondent, COW

"PRESS" OFFICE,

Friday Night, March 30.

NOTWITHSTANDING the sinister rumours which
have been afloat during the two last days,
there is every probability of the prelimi-
naries of peace being signed by the re-
assembling of Parliament.

The readers of this Journal were informed
last week that the main obstacle to a general
pacification had been removed by the Em-
peror of the FRENCH consenting to waive
any stipulation for the dismantlement or
diminution of the fortifications of Sebas-
topol. This announcement was imme-
diately contradicted by all our contempo-
raries, and its authenticity is now as
universally recognised.
This menaced position was the only " in-
surmountable " obstacle to peace. The
Four Points in themselves involved no such
difficulty. They were originally devised by
Austria, with the concurrence of Russia, as
a practical means to a pacific solution.
[VIDE on this subject PRESS of June 10,
1854, which commences with a memo-
randum on this subject, furnished to this
journal by one of the most illustrious states-
men of the age.]

The Four Points were convenient ma-
chinery adopted by Powers who really had
no distinct aim and no definite policy. They
are mere words, and pledged the allies to
nothing. They have not been able to run
the gauntlet of discussion in the Congress.
It is curious, but it is true, that the most
considerable objections to them have
emanated from the Representatives of the
Sublime Porte, who, have, in fact, in one
form or another, raised cavils to all four
conditions.

With regard to the famous third point,
we learn that the allies, for its interpreta-
tion, proposed that the Black Sea, in future,
should not be visited by the ships of war of
any nation. But this proposal could not
bear criticism, and it was felt to be impos-
sible that a power like Russia, with an ex-
tensive coast and considerable provinces on
this water, could be left without the neces-
sary naval means of protection for her terri-
tories. •

VACATING SEATS IN PARLIAMENT

BILL.

A LITTLE flash of amusement in the House of
Commons at present is like Tom MOORE'S
" Light of the Poles," very far too brilliant to
stay. Mr. WRIGHTSON afforded one on Wed-
nesday, for which we should really be
grateful amid such a dearth of jocularity that
even the Premier's privileged jokes seem like
the mimes depicted by the Egyptians in a
funeral procession. Mr. WRIGHTSON being a
considerate man, and seeing that the mem-
bers of the Government change about like the
animalculffl in a drop of water under the
chromatic lens, thought he had better enable
them to do " hands across " and " change
places," without the trouble of going down to
constituents for the ceremony of re-election.
It was, in short, a very matter-of-fact pro-
posal to provide for all possible future com-
binations of uncoalesced Coalitions by allow-
ing any member of the House, without
vacating his seat, to " remove immediately
" from one office of profit under the Crown to
" another office of profit." There could be no
great objection, doubtless, if only the consti-
tuents could be certified to have approved of
the last " office of profit." But that rule was
intended to be ignored, and combinations
every way combined might have been legi-
timated at ouce, but for Mr. BANKRS'S curiosity,
which impelled him to wish to preserve the
present system merely to ascertain what man
was in what office, by hearing the writ moved
for—a very reasonable desire, especially when
the gentleman we interrogated last night as
in one department tells us to-night that he
knows nothing about it, being since meta-
morphosed. We cannot say that Sir GEORGE
GREY'S solution, that such " appointments to
" new offices wore usually contained in the
" Gazette," met the necessity, especially when
the whole Administration shifts places in the
course of the week, and a new Gazette might
be required between Tuesday and Friday
night. Finally, the bill was rejected, and the
appeal to constituencies, even by every impar
sibi of a second-edition Coalition, still is
necessary, not for any matter of principle,
but, according to the views of Mr. BANKES, for
the same reason that the shilling duty was
kept upon corn—" the sake of statistics." Mr.
WILSON, for whose especial benefit it is
whispered by ill-natured people the bill was
intended, will therefore have to wait for his
preferment, unless, indeed, he can succeed in
making Westbury safe.

FRIDAY EvasINII.
THE tone of the Consol Market has been tolerably
firm throughout the week, although the amount of
business transacted is still restricted to a narrow
range. Both public and private dealers are waiting
for some decided intelligence from Vienna. Mean-
time home prospects are improving, commercially
speaking, large quantities of bullion continue to
arrive, and money is easily obtainable both in and
out of the house. The returns of assets and metallic
reserve in the Bank vaults hava so rapidly swelled of
late that some expectations were entertained of a re-
duction in the rate of interest on discounts being an
nounced after the last meeting in the Bank parlour.
The Directors, however, separated on Thursday
without having come to any decision on the subject.
The daily fluctuations in the price of Consols have
been comparatively trifling, the market on the whole
evincing much buoyancy. On Saturday the closing
quotations were 93 to 1 for money, and 93/ 1 for
account of the 11th of April. On Monday prices
left off at 921 93 ; on Tuesday 93 to 1; and on
Wednesday 921 93. Yesterday's market was firm
but quiet. Consols closed at 93 exactly. This
afternoon funds have been flat, business being very
inactive, and quotations slightly depressed. Consols
opened at 921 03 for immediate transfer, and were
afterwards done at 921. At the close prices were the
same as at first. For account the quotations have
been 93 to 1. Bank Stock was quoted (with the
dividend) at 216. Exchequer Bills 6s. premium.
Ditto Bonds 921.

The amount of specie brought by the Canada
from the United States on Thursday was 320,000/.,
an unusually large sum, considering that her port of
departure was Boston.
FOREIGN.

In foreign securities more business has been done
lately, and prices show increased firmness.
The first half-yearly dividend on the Turkish loan
has been advertised for payment by Messrs. Palmer,
Mackillop, and Co.
The resolution adopted in Parliament for a loan
to Sardinia will involve an immediate payment from
the Treasury ofl,ooo, VOL, and another of 1,000,0001.
a year hence. The interest to be paid by the Sardi-
nian Government is 3 per cent., and as the Sar-
dinian Five per Cents. are now under 87, and a
Three per Cent. Stock of that country would be
worth only about 50, it follows that the rate fixed is

As some counterpoise to the withdrawal of three
education bills together on Monday, the last clause

people, was only intended for the education of the
Presbyterians.

PIEDMONT.

Monsignor Franzoni, Archbishop of Turin, exiled
for seditious practices in Piedmont, has transmitted
from Lyons an incendiary notification to the clergy
and religious orders in his diocese. Affirming that
the new convent law is null and void, and that its
execution would be robbery and sacrilege, he advises
the monks to bar the gates of the convents, and yield
nothing except to main force. Canons of collegiate
foundations are not to give up their benefices, but, if
driven from them, may accept the pension which the
new law provides. The object of the prelate is
evidently to provide scandalous scenes which may
act on the religious passions of the ignorant.

and went by railroad train to London. All our children
complained bitterly of the confinement of the carriages:
they complained that there were only two windows amongst
six passengers, instead of a window to every two; and that,
of those six, three were obliged to sit facing the engine, or
with their backs to it, instead of being on moveable seats
which they could turn either way at their pleasure. They
complained of the shortness of the stoppages contrived for
non•refreshment. I myself could only marvel whether the
spirit of mischief and insubordination in the people was
really such as to require the scores of porters and guards
in uniform who, everywhere, hemmed iu the crowd and
interfered with their freedom of action. The result was a
vast deal of hurry, scurry, confusion, and discomfort, such
as we never knew on an American railroad. Between
Albany and Buffalo, I had travelled in comfort, at the same
speed as that at which we now advanced, and at a cost of
twenty shillings each, two hundred and fifty miles, carriage
of luggage included. On this London and Liverpool line
I paid double that amount, and, also, five guineas for a
truck and conveyance of our baggage.
It is astonishing how soon we forget the inconve-
niences, and only retain the pleasurable impressions
of travel. Mr. Beste should have remained at Terre
Haute. Another book on America, " The Land of
the Slave and the Free," by an experienced traveller,
the Hon. A. Murray, is on our table, but demands a
separate and more elaborate notice.

A DOUBLE Stactoit has been committed at Rich-
mond, the bodies of a young man and woman, who
committed self-destruction by drowning themselves,
having been found in the River Thames.
THE MANSION AT WOOLNERS-PARK, the beautiful
seat of W. Herbert Wodehouse, Esq., in Hertford-
shire, has had a narrow escape of being destroyed
by fire. The flames broke out in the offices at five
o'clock on Tuesday morning, but several engines
were speedily in attendance, and before eight o'clock
the fire was got under without communicating with
the principal reception-rooms and main body of the
building. Lord Salisbury and several of the neigh-
bouring gentry arrived at an early hour at Woolmers
to offer assistance, and in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs
Wodehouse and their family removed to Hatfield-
house, where they are at present the guests of the
marquis.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE has sailed for the Crimea,
GOVERNMENT INSTRUCTIONS have been received in
Southampton to prepare for the embarkation of
cavalry, on board the Candia on Monday, and on
board the Indiana on Tuesday next.
THE ADMIRALTY has ordered the old 44-gun
frigates, Forth and Sea Horse, at Devonport, and
vessels of a similar class at other ports to be fitted
as mortar•ships, to carry each 13-inch mortars, and
to have engines of 200 horse power to propel them.
Thus these much abused ships are brought into
actual service, and may be found to be of some use
in time of war.
A PUBLIC MEETING of the inhabitants of Sheffield,
called by the mayor, was held on Wednesday even-
ing for the purpose of supporting Mr. Roebuck in
his vote of censure on the Government for their mis-
management of the war. From 7,000 to 8,000 per-
sons were present.
THE last exhibition this year of plants, flowers,
and fruits of the Royal Botanical Society took place
on Wednesday. Everything concurred to make this
exhibition the most brilliant of the whole season.
The plants, flowers, and fruits were in their highest
perfection. The great tent under which the flowers
were exhibited was filled with most perfect speci-
mens. The attendance of visitors was extremely
numerous and brilliant.

Their insertion is often delayed, owing to a press of matter,
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde-

We cannot undertake to return communications of which we do
not avail ourselves.
Ccmmunications should always be legibly written, and on one
aide of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of

Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by a

ILDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.-
v This celebrated compound, universally esteemed for its in-
vigorating powers in restoring the Hair, has received additional
and distinguished patronage from the important features it
possesses in not soiling the boostdelicate bonnet. For promoting
the growth of Whiskers and Moustachios it has long been held
in estimation by Gentlemen, and renders the toilet incomplete
without it. It also prevents the Hair falling off or turning grey;
cleanses it from dandruff; causes it to cut!, and in cases of
baldness is peculiarly active.—Prise 3s. od., bit, and Ils. 'Whole-

petitors for the Crown, which, like our own
wars of the Roses, were such fertile sources of
bloodshed under native dynasties.
On the other hand, however, there is to
balance this the consideration of vast estab-
lishments cashiered—great feudatory noble-
men deprived of all means of existence—
estates confiscated bankers and money-
lenders ruined—cities and villages once rich
now sunk into beggary—and the sources on
which the great body of the people in all
countries depend more or less for their living
cut off and destroyed. To add to this, there
is the being harassed by new revenue systems,
which are for ever changing, and which in
nearly all their phases are totally unsuited to
the condition, and hateful to the feelings, of
the people whom they are forced upon; there
is the equally compulsory introduction of laws
which they neither appreciate nor under-
stand ; the judgment-seats are filled with
foreigners, who for the most part have no
sympathy with them, and who openly express
their impatience at being troubled with their
disputes ; while, over all, they have a Govern-
ment, the only idea of which appears to be
what it calls " the maintenance of authority"
by an unhesitating support of every act, whe-
ther right or wrong, of those who hold office
under rt. In the last resort, they have a Pre-
sident of the India Board to look to, who, in
Sir CHARLES WOOD'S case, plainly told those
who appealed to him that he had not read
their papers, it being clear that if he did jus-
tice to any one there would be an endless
rush of petitioners for redress to England. It
surely requires very little reflection to see how
far these gross defects in our system must
necessarily overbalance any advantages which
in other respects it may possess over native
Governments, and that we shall never satisfy
the fair demands of our native subjects for
equal justice and proper government until we
shall have extended to the whole of India the
shield of competent and independent judges,
which has proved so salutary a safeguard of
the rights and properties of the inhabitants
of Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta.

DE BELLO INSANO APUD HYDII PARADISUM

MALE GESTO.
Er jam dies aderat ; exorto Sole, multi custodes coerulei, fustibus
armati, per secura latitabant ; multi vero de plebe, rerum novandarum
studio parum intenti, placide cum uxoribus liberisque suis per para-
disum spatiabantur. Erant quidam divites, sed rari, qui per Viam
Putidam vehiculis propriis magnum et pulveris et clamoris vim suscita-
bant. Nam nobilis quidam; neque ille tamer malus homo, licet
deceptus, libellum quendam satis ineptum excogitans, pauperes et
proletarios ab omnibus iisque satis paucis luxuriis, deterrere con sti-
tuerat. 111 i vero, rem serum reputantes, dubitabant multum an isti'
qui, ut apud Scripturas legimus, " purpura byssoque vestiti Bunt," in
pauperes tanta legum plaustra ingerere deberent. lusuper, ipse legis
auctor, seu ignavia seu terrors commotus, lecesserat, neque erat qui
vel rem satis explicaret, vel animos populorum jam satis excitatos com-
pesceret. Et jam, turba in diem crescente, clamore ingravescente,
custodes fustibus innocentes opprimere, sub pedibus calcare, virgines
mulieresque juxta opprobriis invadere. Erant vero ex iis, qui hrec
Sabbaticorum bacchanalia invisebant, quidam, qui custodes eos parvi

potuit, etsi ad omnia immania atque crudelia suos libere exhortatus.
Pugnatum est satis bene a militibus his Candour (ita a colore vestium

ut inulieres pusillosque aggrederentur, intendebant. Multi capti aunt,
