NOTES OF THE WEIEK.

I.—As smut regarded as of some import-
ance in the west end of London, and there
ohly, signalised the close of last week, for the
Queen actually passed the night after holding
the first of her five "Court.' at BuckinghAin
Palace, and did not return ts Windsor till
Saturday. The attendance at these courts
would appear to be restricted is numbers,
probably owing to
°the disgraceful scenes of
crowding and pressing that hate occurred in
previous in tances, and the Lord Chamber-
lain having once filled up his lista, announces
with great complacency, that no further
names can be received. This somewhat
resembles the practice at the Theatre Royal.
Little Pedlington, where they put your name
upon the free list indeed, but take care to
suspend the free list for the entire seam Ir.

Hardcastle's Bill, for the total
and unconditional surrender of Church-rates
by the Church of England, will astonish and
Churchmen to an unprecedented
degree, by the position they have through
their own remissness allowed it to attain.
On Wednesday it passed its second reading
by a majority of 88 (285 to 252) in the
House of Commons, and is now in committee.
In former instances, when any such danger
menaced the maintenance of the Church
fabric, the people of the Church of England
forming by far the great majority in the
land, had but to bestir themselves and parlia
mentary opinion, which cannot well resist
the pahlic demonstration of overwbelming
masses of petitions, was fide in due course
to change its shape, even from adverse
majorities to increasing minorities on the
question of the abolition of Church rates
Such was the state of matters at the close of
the late parliament; sad what probably pre-
vented Churchmen from pursuing their usual
tacties and promptly offering an expression of
their sentiments, wishes, and prayers to the
newly elected House, was the uncertainty of
how it might stand affected on the question.
This haring now been put to the test, we
must say that we do not see that, under the
present circumstances, • majority of 88 in a
tolerably full house can be at all regarded
as a decision hopeless y and irretrievably
adverse, especially on a vote merely commit-
ting a bill which even Messrs. Bright and
Morley expect in common with Mr. Berms
ford Hope may be made the subject of dom.
promise in committee, by retaining the
present machinery of a Church rate, and
abolishing only the compulory collection,
whilst those declining payment of Church
rates can be allowed to take no part in the
management of Church affairs. The Ames
argues from these present appearances, in
fact, that the question of Church rates is
no nearer a solution than it has been
anytime these five and twenty years.
The only violent excitement 10 or
out-of-doors that may be said to have
been caused or created on the subject is pro-
duced by the conduct of Mr. Gladstone.
The Government, evidently unprepared to
take part in the fray, l H
eft the Bight on. gen-
tleman at liberty to commit an act of private
war in retaliation for his rejection by the
University of Oxford, and whilst incon-
sistently avowing opinions in support of the
principle of a church rate, to give his vote at
same time for the abolition. Revenge is
sweet, but seldom consistent. The most ex-
traordinary and ominous of Mr. Gladstone's
assertions was that the abolition of church
ceps in Ireland had strengthened the Irish
church—perhaps too mark. The italics are
ours, but the words are Mr. GLadstone's.
They are significant, DO doubt of renewed
attacks on the Milted Church of England
and Ireland at this her most vulnerable
point. Let not churchman, however, resign
with the indifference of dismay a contest
which they have inch for inch maintained not
only in our days but "in the days of our fathers
and in the old time before them." The bill'
is only before committee for modification.
Let churchmen petition, one and all—
multitudinously—jointly and severally—and
show the representatives of the people thei
sense ot the great and unreasonable wrong
attempted in a bill which sescoaditionally re-
moves from property and persons the ancient
obligation undertaken with the acquirement
of their rights to support the fabric of the
Church and maintain religion in the land for
i he poor's sake. Let not too much reliance
be placed on the House of Peers rejecting
such a bill, unreasonable and unreason-
ing as it is. Why, indeed, should the
responsibility be thrown on their Lord-
ship's house, whilst time and opportunity
still exist, to meet the unexpected difficulty
in the teeth, "to fight the good fight and to
keep the Faith." Once more we say to those
who do not desire to see the Churchmen of
our time branded as those by whom that great
trust of handing down unimpaired the
Ch arch's privileges to the latest posterity was
betrayed or forsaken, petition while there is
yet time, and insist on the national recognition
and maintainance of the Church's fabno—the
poor man's church and place of refuge. The
second reading of another bill, which in leas
alarming times would have created almost
equal excitement took place on Th yursda
This was the " Parliamentary Oaths Amend
-
meet Bill." But Mr. Disraeli is to propose
at the next stage of the bill a somewhat
mended oath in addition to the proposed
