THE Clause proposed by the Government last
night, in obedience to the decision of the House in
favour of Union loans, was a curious instance of
apparently yielding to the letter while utterly
violating the spirit of a distinct and emphatic in-
junction. The powers of borrowing formally con-
ferred by Mr. VILLIERS'S proviso were rendered
absolutely nugatory by the conditions under which
alone, according to the clause as it originally
stood, they were to come into operation. Taking
advantage of some expressions loosely dropped in
the course of the discussion, the right hon. gentle-
man proposed to make the loan in the strictest
sense an alternative to the rate-in-aid, by pro-
viding that neither should be resorted to until the
rates had risen to five shillings in the pound.
Now, it is no doubt true that the phrase
" alternative of a loan " was used by
several speakers who urged that plan of
relief, but the whole course of the debate
made it perfectly clear that the alternative
contemplated was not that of a rate-in-aid or a
loan when the rates had been forced up to the
point of parochial insolvency ; but, of a loan, to
prevent them from reaching that point. The
necessity of granting borrowing powers to the
distressed Unions was urged by speaker after
speaker, in the interest of that large but compara-
tively humble class of ratepayers who would be re-
duced to pauperism before the rates reached five
shillings in the pound, the point at which alone relief
could be obtained from a rate-in-aid. That was, in
fact, as Mr. AvaroN said, the whole case of those
who opposed the scheme of the Government. This
cardinal point was moreover so emphasized by many
of the speakers, that it is difficult to imagine how
there could possibly be any mistake, or on what
ground the Government ventured to complain
last night that the whole course of the argument
had changed from the previous day. The Marquis
of atavolorow certainly stated distinctly enough
on Wednesday the alternative contemplated by the
supporters of Union loans. " The real question
" was," he said, " whether by raising this year,
" and in future years, rates of enormous severity,
" they would reduce a great number of the
" smaller ratepayers to pauperism, or whether
" they would take the advice of almost all who
" are most interested in the question, and borrow
" the money now needed, to repay it again when
" that prosperity returned which every one antici-
" pate& " Mr. CORWIN was still more emphatic
in calling the attention of the Government to the
main point of the amendment, and the spirit in
which it had been carried. " The spirit in which
" the clause had been carried was this, that it was
" desirable to allow the people of Lancashire to
" tide over this difficulty on the assumption that
" it was a temporary difficulty, and that they
" should be enabled to do so as promptly as pool-
" Bible, without causing that ruin which would
" prevent them rising again when the arrival of
" the raw material enabled them to set to work
" again. Therefore he suggested that there should
" be no limit at all as to the amount of rate to be
" reached before the borrowing powers came into
" operation."
Under these circumstances it is a little surprising
that the Government should hate softie overlooked
both the implied and express object of the amend-
ment as to propose restricting the borrowing
powers it conferred to the severe conditions of the
rate-in-aid. Of course, if the borrowing powers
could only come into operation on the same terms
as the rate-in-aid—when the rate had risen to five
shillings in the pound—the alternative of either plan
offered to the distressed Unions was little better
than a nominal one. The option proposed by the
Government of borrowing the money or obtaining it
as a legal gift was in reality Hobson's choice. A
clause so essentially nugatory had no chance what-
ever of being carried in its original form. Almost
every Member who spoke on either sideof the House
fixed attention on this glaring defect of the pro- ,1
posal, urging that the borrowing powers conferred
by the clause, if they were to be of any use
at all, must commence at a lower point
than the rate-in-aid. The very object of granting
borrowing powers is that the distressed Unions
may help themselves before applying to others for
assistance. And the claim to do this before the
rates are oppressively high is strengthened by the
fact that in the Bill as it originally stood the
Government had recognised the necessity of special
relief at a much lower point than that afterwards
fixed upon. Any parish was to be permitted to
claim the exceptional help of a rate-in-aid
when the rates exceeded by two-thirds
the average of three previous years, and this
throughout the country would have been little
more than two shillings in the pound. If there
was any justice or propriety at all in the proposal
that the distressed parishes should comp on the
common fund before their rates had reached three
shillings in the pound, there is certainly nothing
extravagant or unreasonable in the claim that they
should have the right to borrow when the rate
reaches that amount. This was proposed last
night by Mr. HIBBERT, supported by Mr. Belies
and other speakers, and eventually acquiesced in
by Mr. Vittreas on behalf of the Government.
The Union Belief Aid Bill thus, as finally
amended, grants to the guardians, when the rates

INSPECTION OF THE 11TH MIDDLESEX (ST.
Guescree) RIFLE Cow& —Yesterday evening the official
annual inspection of the members of the 11th Middlesex
(St. George's) Rise Corps was made by Colonel M•Murdo,
is Hyde Park, sear the Marble Arch, in the presence of a
large concourse of people. The members were present to
the extent of about 300, and formed into six companies.
Lieutenant• Colonel the Hon. C. H. Liodeay was is com-
mand, assisted by Captain Ives and Captain and Adjutant
Pugh. After the various movements had terminated, bat-
taboo square was formed, and Colonel M'Murdo rade into
the centre, and addressed the corps He said that he was
pleased to see a larger muster than on the last inspection
Their discipline was good, and altogether they were as
steady as any body of volunteers need wish to be. The !
eoldierlike movements that he had sees them perform I
smeared Dim that they were attentive to drill. It was mid
that the volunteers were getting tired of drill ; that resir
. nations were taking place wholesale ; aod that the move-
ment was declining. Such was not the case, for be could
tell them that, as far se numbers and efficiency went, the
volunteer movement was never is a better position than at
the present time. He was glad to see in this
carps, as well es in many others, that the officers
and non.commissiorsed offieers were fast arriving at
perfection. He believed that in the event of a
war taking place, a few hours' drill woull make them
ready for the field. (Cheers.) Their advance in line was
as good as it possibly could be. It was this movement in
statue that would bring them face to face with the enemy,
sad, therefore, they could not practise it too often. The
; gallant colonel concluded by expressing a hope that the
regiment would support its commanding officer, and main-
tain the proud position it had won for itself. Three cheers
were then given for the Queen, Colonel M'Murdo, and
Colonel Lindsay, and the proceedings terminated. Previous
to dismissing his men, Colonel Lindsay intimated that the
Turner Challenge Cup, having become the property of the
corps, it would be contended for annually between the mem-
bees, and that the winoer on each oomaion would be pre-
seated with a gold medal.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The Great Western Railway brought up yester-
day an army of 4,250 excursionists, who nearly all
formed on the platform, and marched off direct to
the Exhibition. These were followed by a succes-
sion of schools, and a movement was made in favour
of the hop districts by the purchase of 210 shilling
tickets, to be used by the " hoppers" on Thursday
next. This is satisfactory progress, and we have
little doubt but that our announcements of orga-
.

liked and subsidised parties of working people ;ill ,
become more numerous and important every day.
The complaints against the awards of the
jurors do not abate either in numbers or
bitterness. A copy of a letter has been forwarded
to us, signed by Messrs. Knight, Bevan, and
&urge, Ime, Son, and Smith, John and William
Redwood, J. Cumberland Part, F. and G. Rodin,
and Freen and Co., being the principal exhibitors
of Roman cement in the Exhibition, the original of
which was addressed to the president of the jury
in Clad X., and expressed the very " uncomfort-
able feeling" of the writers that Messrs. White
Brothers and the Siliceous Stone Company, neither
of which firms were exhibitors or had occupied
space, should have received medals. The president
of the jury, who is most probably en route for the
continent by this time, of course took no notice of
this communication, and the jury having dis-
solved into thin air, the disappointed
cement manufacturers are left without either
redress or explanation. We made inquiry
as to whether the favoured firms had supplied
any of the materials for the building itself, and
thus given the jury an opportunity of judging of
their quality, because there is the case of Messrs.
Allsopp, the great brewers, who have received
made* although they do not exhibit except in the
refreshment departments, where 20,000 or 30,000
jurors sit en permanence, and pronounce unani-
mously in favour of the justice of the award to
the Frenchman's favourite " PellelL" Nothing
of the kind has, however, occurred in this case, and
the award in class 10 must remain one of the puz-
zles of the Exhibition year.
The highest temperature yesterday, taken by
Negretta and Zambra's patent ,thermometers, was at
