THE BURIAL SERVICE. _

Lord EBURYrose I.;;;;;; an humble address to het
Majesty, pitying for the appointment of a commission to
consider what step should be taken to obviate the evils
complained of as arising from the present compulsory and
indiscriminate use of the burial service of the Church of
England. It bad Inn, been his earnest desire in the ape-
duct of these questions that the remedy should come not
from himself but from the right rev. bench, and as they
were ready to take up this question, it only remained for
him to submit the motion of which he had given notice.
(Hear, hear.)
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said the noble lord
had rightly interpreted hit views with regard to the
grievance which still mieted is the matter of the
burial service. At the same time he had given
the noble lord to undentand that be could not
consent to any royal commission which should have
in viiw that mole of remedying the grievance which con-
templated an alteration of the service. (Hear, bear.) Short
of that he was quite willing to consent to • royal oanunision
being Suited. He would go further, and eary;that he was
quite willing also that the royal commission should take
into consideration the question of a re-arrangement of the
table of lemma. He had no possible objection to a re-
arrangement of the table of lessons, and with regard to the..
two points he was quite ready to accede to a motion for a
matomenion. He was sot averse to change if it could be
shown that it was remosable, sad one that would not be
injurious to the church. (Hear, beer.)
The Bishop of LONDON said aa far as they could
judge the feeling of the elegy in this country was in
favour pf leaving the matter aloes. Some of the 4,000
who eigeed the paper which bad bees quoted had. be be-
lieved, since cheesed their salads, and some who were sow
is that house ; but however that might be, time was
certainly • large body who, on the whole, were
rather strongly of opinion that Wogs should re-
mole is they were sow. It was important that
they should not disregard the feelings of the clergy, but, at
the same time, they should net attach to a document of this
kind too much importance. Necessarily, from their pro-
fession, clergymen ware averse to change, and those changes
that were good might not receive from them that amount of
favour which, after the 1111111111 rill had Wee carried out by
their !superiors, they were very willing to accord to them.
He was cot sure that if all the beneficial changes that bad
hitherto been effected had been oat to the whole body of
the clergy, their necessarily and properly conservative spirit
would not have led them to oppose the alterations, and he
suggested to the governmeat to take this nuttier into their
own bands. (Bear, hoar.)
Earl GRANVILLE was not prepared to pledge the go-'
vernment to the course suggested, bet he assured their
lordships that the subject should have immediate atten-
tion. He would put himself into commiuticetiou with the
noble lord who introduced the disco lion and the most
reverend prelate, with • view of dethrinisiog what 00111111
could be taken.
_

~ls nyly to Lord
RIDWDALT.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he had not
brought thequeetion before the whole body of the bishops,
but be consulted several of them individually, and from
what took place at the meeting in February be oertainly
gathered that a commiesion such so he bad described would
be ecceptable to the clergy secondly.
Lord EBL`RY believed that the question was so much
better in the hands of the government end the right rev.
bench, that after what had takes plea he willingly with.
drew his modem.

PUBLIC AND RIIPRISHMRNT HOUSES (METRO-
POLIS) BILL. AND PUBLIC AND BAFRESIIMINT
HOUSES BILL.
The ameedmeata to these two bills being brought on for
consideration together.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE moved to strike out of the
latter the second amendment. He objected to the appli-
cation of the act to small villages and toinw which might be
within the boundaries of commode distaieta, goveroed by
local boards or commissimiern In his view 'inch tome;

Le coullued to the corporate town itself, leaving the county
magistracy the power of applying the measure to the rural
villages, though they might happen to lie within the muni-
cipal boundaries.
Lord REDESDALB also thought that some limit to the
jurisdic►ion of the town con should be put, and he
osesplaiaed that the amendments of the Commons had
altered the whole character of the bill.

Earl GRANVILLE opposed the motion.
On a awake there were :

The TwOtion was therefon lost, and eke ansondment is

The FATIO. DONOIJOHNORE said be wished to point
out a matter of some importaeoe—tbat the question had not
been put in the usual form. It our(ht to hare been that this
clause steal part of the bill ; sod 311 that ease, aocording to
the &slates. it would have been omitted.

Earl GRANVILLE said If any impropriety had taken
place in potting the question. it ought to hers hero roes-
tiosed before the divasion. But if the question had lees
put in the way desired and the numbers had been equal,
the noble stud learned lord on the woolsack could pare given
a castiog vote.

Lori CHELMSFORD said it was quite clear the question
had not hew properly pot. though it might be too late to
take am °Weak*. Their proeredinp, however, ought to
be regular. - -

putting the question was, that the clause steed port of the

the report he usually followed the laeguage of the motion

Lord REDESDALE differed from the opinion -of the
noble and learned lard, and believed that the question
might always to be that the clause stand part of the bill,
artist the words stand pert of the cloves. (Hoer, hear.)
Vie count EVERSLEY rid the practice in the Com-
rineis was, in moving to leave out certain words, to pet the
question that the words prooffeed to be left out stand part
of the elnuss. ("liner, hear," from the opposition.)
It was midentoort that the clause remained part of the
bill, and that the Earl of Dosoreilmong gave notion be

Sir F. EIBYGATE protested against having such •
motion kept hanging over the established church of Ireland.
It was ready to meet every inquiry, and as the hon.
member did not intend to proceed with his motion at once
he hoped that be would let it drop altogether.
In answer to Mr. MOIFSELL,
The ATTORNEY-GESERAL for IRELAND had • bill
prepared on the subject of the transfer of lead, and be had
intended to introduce it this week. As, however, be was
obliged to go to Ireland, he should bare to put it off for
a few days. After the rather ueezempled obstruction
which bad been thrown in the way of his measure on the
subject of the Court of Chancery, he should withdraw both

of the same commission. He would, however. reintroduce
them next session.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

Though it might be reasonably presumed that the
Dentin of the liewmerket July amounts would have nem-
siteted a large attendance, the small master of members,
comparatively speaking, within the Subscription-room and
lawn this afternoon might have prepared one for the gene-
ral complaint, that it was "no settling at all." Specula-
tion on future events was likewise seriontly at fault, and the
trifling amount of business done, when contrasted
with the " list of prices " at the same period, and
en the same events, a few years back, speak
volumes as to the unhealthy state of the turf market.
A few unimportant transactions took place on theLivsrpool
Cup and Goodwood Stakes, and beyond the fact that 7,000/.
to 1,0001. was laid against Liddington in one lot for the
Derby, and 3301. to 100/. about Geueral Peel for the Leger,
nothing was done downing of wannest. Closing priors :

The proceedinp of the Home Circuit sere commenced
today by the opening of the commiesion for the meaty
of Herts, in this town. There are about 20 prnionere for
trial. and there are several asses of anon, of that class so
frequent at the present time, where persons merely from
recklessness sad desperation set dr• to valuable property
without the slightest motive or object. The remainin
charges do out appear to be of a serious character. With
regard to the civil badness nothing will be known positively
until the sitting of the °mart this (Tuesday) morning, but the
cause hat is expected to be a light one. It may be as well
to state that the commission day for the county of Sussex
hes been altered to Wednesday, the 20th inst., and the court
will proceed to business on the same day. The commission
day for Ewer will be the 14th July ; for Maidstone, the
25th ; and for Sunny the lat of August. The judges who

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WurcHErnat, JOLT 11.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
The calendar is upwards of thirty strong, and some of
the oases are important. There are eight issues on the
cause list, one of which is a special jury. One of the
crown prieotein is the notorious John Goodenough, who
lately perpetrated half a dozen serious burglaries in Hemp.
shire, and is besides a returned convict without leers.
