NOVEMBIM 1, 1856.

As in the fozmer volume, some of the poet's
most striking thoughts are thrown into the
form of what he terms " Sentences." We ex-
tract a few :
What seems to us for us is true.
The planets have no proper light ;
And yet, to subtlest mortal view,
The primal stars are not so bright.
• • • •
Who pleasure follows, pleasure slays;
God's wrath upon himself he wreaks :
But all delights rejoice his days
Who takes with thanks, yet never seeks.

• .

Till Eve was brought to Adam, he
A solitary desert trod,
Though in the great society
Of Nature, Angels, and of God.

The key-note of these poems is admirable.
The passion of love was never more exqui-
sitely sublimed. It is so mingled with heaven-
ward aspirations that it seems a part of the
holiness of religion. The spirit of the whole
poem is expressed in one beautiful verse :
Virgins are they, before the Lord,
Whose hearts are pure: the vestal fire
Is not, as some misread the Word,
By marriage quench'd, but burns the higher.

A SERIES OF SIX ITALIAN OPERAS has been Com-
menced this week at Drury Lane. Grisi, Mario,
Formes, Mesdames Gassier and Amadei, were the
principal performers. The orchestra, conducted by
Signor Calzi, was respectable ; the prices were play-
house prices, and the house has been literally
crammed on each occasion during the week. The
success of the speculation is undeniable, and future
autumn seasons will not pass iu London without
similar performances.
THE FRIENDS OF THE EMINENT COMPOSER, the late
Sir H. R. Bishop, who for many years held the office
of Professor of Music to the University of Oxford,
have commenced a subscription in order to raise a
monument to his memory, and above all to purchase
the ground that covers his remains, and thus pre-
vent his grave from being forgotten. The following
gentlemen have already contributed towards this
desirable object, viz. :—The Rev. the Vice Chan.
cellor, Oxford ; the Rev. the Provost ol• Queen's,
Oxford ; the Rev. the Principal of St. Mary•hall,
Oxford ; the Rev. the Principal of New inn-hall,
Oxford ; the Rev. the Professor of Ecclesiastical
History, and the Rev. Sir F. A. G. Ouseley, Bart.,
Professor of Music to the University of Oxford:
NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The committee for
conducting the next musical festival, proposed to be
held at Norwich in the autumn of 1857, have had a
meeting within the last few days, when it was unani-
mously resolved that Mr. Benedict should be invited
to act as conductor. It was also decided that the
pric?s of admission should return to the old standard
—viz., U. ls. for the patrons' gallery, and 10.4. 6d.
for reserved seats in other parts of the hall. Steps
are to be taken to obtain the usual guarantee fund,
and application is also to be made to the Norwich
Town Council for permission to erect a new orchestra
in St. Andrew's•hall, which is about to be repaired.
It is hinted that some difficulty has arisen between
the committee and the Earl of Albemarle, who was
elected its chairman ; and that the chairman of the
sub committee has been requested to address a letter
to the noble lord in order to ascertain definitely his
views on the subject of the festival, in regard to which
considerable difference of opinion prevails.
M. JULLIEN's CONCERTS commence at her Majesty's
Theatre on Wednesday next. M. Jullien announces
the first appearance upon that evening of Miss
Catherine Hayes.

theleas, the demand for all kinds has been in a sluggish state.
Selected samples have mostly realised full quotations ; but
other descriptions have given way in price from Is to 2s per

limited, and all kinds have moved oil' slowly, at late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain have commanded fully previous rates.
Fine barley has been scarce, and in request, on former terms.
Grinding and distilling sorts have ruled the turn in favour of
buyers. The malt trade has been steady, at full prices. New
oats have given way Od per quarter; but old parcels have com-

SIR CHARLES NAPIER TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.

Sir,—Touching your family I said nothing to give you offence, and
it would be a good thing if you would Imitate the Napiers, and
avoid bringing your family name before the public unless absolutely
necessary so to Do.
I fancy that both our Reputations are too well fix'd lefore the
Public eye, to be disturbed by anything that can be written. I, how-
ever, owe it to my Constituents, who may he snobs, but who know
what they are about, to inquire of the Viscount Palmerston what were
his special reasons for admitting you to the Administration.
If subordinate members of the Government are to go about slan-
dering distinguished members of the service, it is time for Parliament
to interfere.

THE PROPOSED CRIMEAN MONUMENT AT SLIEEPTELD
has given occasion to a communication with Aims
Nightingale. Miss Shore, of Meersbrook-hall, Shef-
field, requesting on behalf of the committee appointed
to carry out the project that she would consent to
lay the foundation-stone, Miss Nightingale replied
as follows :

Lea Hurst, Matlock, Oct. 23, 1856.

My dear Lydia,—The purpose mentioned to me in yoar
letter has my deepest sympathy. It would have been most
congenial with my feelings, on my return from the death.
beds of so many brave men, to take a part in it. I shall be
with the men of Sheffield in spirit whenever they execute
their proposed plan. It is with real pain that I feel com-
pelled to decline the privilege which they offer to me, of
laying the first stone. But I believe I shall best honour
the cause of those brave dead by abstaining from appear-
ing to court that publicity which I consider to have been
my greatest impediment in the work f have been engaged
in for their sakes, impeding it by arousing in some minds
care for worldly distinctions. I will ask you to give this
letter to Mr. Overend, and I should be glad that Mr.
Overend should make known to those who had expressed
a desire that I should lay the first stone my reasons and
my sorrow for not doing so : and should say also that I
feel an especial regret in declining this at Sheffield, from
old and dear family recollections connected with the place.
I must apologise for so late an answer, as I have only
just returned home.—Pray believe me, my dear Lydia,
every truly yours, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
Miss Shore, Meerabrook.
Miss Nightingale has also sent a cheque of 201.
towards the object.
PROTESTANTISM IN TURKEY, Colonel Sir H. Rawlin-
son observed, the other day, at a meeting in Exeter-
hall, was unknown twenty years ago. On one occa-
sion a Jew presented himself to the Resident at
Bagdad, and claimed British protection, alleging that
he bad come from Jerusalem. He was informed by
the consul-general that according to international law
he was not entitled to protection. He then said that
he was a Protestant, and was informed that, if such
were the fact, it could not constitute a title to the
protection he sought. The consul-general, however,
wishing to know what the man's idea of Protestan-
tism was, interrcgat3l him on the doctrines of his
adopted faith, and he replied—" I eat pork, I drink
wine, and I do not believe in God." This was the
correct idea of Protestantism in Turkey at that time.

POSTSCRIPT'

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

Yesterday's Moniteur published the following :
" The Constitutionnel of the sth inst. contains an
article upon a point in dispute in external affairs
which we should be very sorry to allow to be sup-
posed that it emanated from the Government. To
envenom a discussion is not the way to facilitate its
solution. England and France, who together carried
on the war and concluded peace, and who agree
upon all the great questions of the day in Europe,
are divided in opinion upon one of a very minor inte-
rest (asses foible). Will the difference be settled
by a preliminary arrangement, or by conference
That is the only thing to be decided. But, under
all circumstances, we entertain the firm conviction
that the difficulty will soon be removed, without run-
ning upon the double error of weakening the Eng-
lish alliance and of failing to fulfil engagements con-
tracted."

hi this respect, been singular in its sentiments.
Conservative statesmen have felt that in a
good understanding with France resides the
best security for the tranquillity and inde
pendence of Europe. This is a fundamental
maxim of policy, not to be disturbed by those
little accidents which may affect Qur relations
with other Powers. England bas lately pro-
fited in a most signal manner by the French
alliance. Yet at a moment when the Liberil
party ostentatiously declares that peace is fur
from secure, and that we are standing on
" the edge of a volcano," occasion is taken to
manifest distrust of France, and to outrage
the French Emperor by groundless calumnies.
We are not called on to pronounce an
opinion on any of those grave questions we have
here touched on. It is not fur us at this time
to say authoritatively that the government of
the Danubian provinces should be settled one
way or the other, or to weigh whether advan•
tagcs most incline to the side of an Austrian
or a French alliance. We conceive it not
difficult for this country to maintain friendly
relations with the different Governments
of the Continent, and to exercise fair greater
influence over them by friendly representa-
tions, than it is possible to obtain by a show
of hypocritical hostility. But we waive that
whole question. We desire only to show the
glaring inconsistency between the professions
and the acts of the Liberal party,—an incon-
sistency which is not only condemnatory of
the party, but dishonourable to the nation.

. .
lf the Liberal party, instead of reserving its
zeal in favour of Reform for the hustings,
were to show itself earnest to secure the
triumph of the principles it professes. we
might oppose its aims, but we should most
certainly respect its sincerity. If it proved
by its conduct that it really was bent on pro-
moting a great convulsion in Europe, and that
it was ready to dare all risks and incur all
dangers to aid the cause of discontented fac-
tions, or subject provinces, against their
Governments, we should admire their enthu-
siasm and acknowledge that there was in it
something noble, though we deprecated it as
most visionary or most impolitic. But when
we find it traffieking in a mercenary spirit of
trading policy with insurrectionary elements
in foreign States, and changing its tone with
every varying accident of continental policy.
or with every shade of opinion in the Liberal
Cabinet at home,—to which it pays servile
obedience, though clamorous in declarations
of independence, it is impossible not to de-
spise its tergiversation, and mourn over the
utter ruin and deplorable degradation of what
was once a great party. Thank Heaven, there
is no such blot on the Conservative party as
marks the shifting, bullying, servile Liberal-
ism of 1850 !

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1856.

THERE is an obvious limit to imposture of all
kinds. Its means are fictitious. It lives by
exciting hopes it is unable to realise, and by
making promises it has not the slightest in-
tention to fulfil. By fraudulent devices it may
succeed in long delaying the day of reckoning.
but that day will come ; and then, whether the
imposture be of a nature that laws can take
cognisance of, or whether it be merely moral
involving loss of character, it stands de-
tected, and becomes an object of hatred or
contempt.

The Liberal party in this country, like a
house which once had a good name, has for
many years past been living on the credit of
its reputation, and has been living on it. at a
very fast rate. In the very nature of Libe-
ralism there is a principle which compels it to
make continual appeals to popular support,
and sto put forth projects and sentiments
likely to captivate the multitude on whose
favour it relies. The projects and promises
may answer for a time, especially when up-
held by the whole force of party interest; but
at length the people get tired of seeing one
bubble burst after another. At first they are
amused, as at the exhibition of a charlatan, by
seeing grand preparations made for the sur-
prising performance they had been led to
expect. The term of credulity will vary with
circumstances ; while it lasts the imposture
flourishes, and to-morrow is forgotten in the
success of to-day. But we may be sure that
the explosion of disappointment and rage at
last will be proportioned to the patience exer•
cised by the public, and to the extent of fraud
of which they have been made the victims.
It is impossible for the Liberal party to
escape the eharge that it has for a lengthened
period been deliberately practising upon the
credulity of the people. Its history for the
last twenty years has been a history of hypo-
critical professions, of delusive representa-
tions, of broken pledges. It has been con-
stantly shifting from one kind of imposture to
another—from promises of reform at home
to promises of revolution abroad. The experi-
rnentuni cilia. seems likely to overtake it at
last. Its promises are brought to the test of
its acts ; and no devices, however ingenious—
no misrepresentations, however daring—will
long succeed in blinding the public to the
scandalous deceit that has been practised
upon it.
In the years succeeding the European settle-
ment of 1815, the Liberal party insisted on the
necessity of retrenchment and peace. It de-
claimed against the maintenance of large stand-
ing forces, and it declared that non-intervention
in the affairs of the Continent should be the
general policy of this country. Its represent-
ations were not without effect. Linder suc-
cessive Conservative Governments, the na-
tional expenditure was lowered to the lowest
point practicable ; taxation was greatly re-

THE RIGHT HON. M. T. BAINES, M. P., visited
Leeds on Monday and Tuesday last, and had an in-
terview with the Leeds Chamber of Commerce with
respect to the existing state of the law of partner.
ship and the bankruptcy law. Mr. Baines listened
attentively to all the suggestions made to him, and
received the memoranda offered on the various ques-
tions. He promised that they should all receive
careful attention in the proper quarters. Among
other topics discussed were the heavy French duties
on Engiish linen yarns, fire insurance duties, the
duty on paper, and local dues on shipping. After
an interview of more than an hour the meeting broke
up._ .

MR. EDWIN JAMES, Q.C., has issued an address to
the electors of Hull as a candidate for the vacancy
created by the promotion to the bench of Mr. Watson,
Q.C. Mr. James declares that his opinions are
essentially Liberal. Vote by ballot, extended fran-
chise, no Church rates, &c., are his principles. Had
he been in Parliament he would have voted for the
bill. Finally, he says, " I should support the Govern•
ment of which Lord Palmerston is the head."

Mr. COBDEN'S RETIREMENT, at the next election,
from the representation of the West Riding, is con-
sidered certain. Lord Goderich is mentioned among
the Liberal party as their man. Mr. Cobden, we are
told, thinks he can be as useful to his country as
the representative of a smaller constituency, where
local matters will not press so constantly on his time
and attention."

EXHORTATION.

The principal and indeed the only object of the
Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition is for the glory of
God, the exaltation of the Holy Catholic Church,
and for the salvation of souls. Therefore, those who
shall faithfully obey the Holy Office,and of their own
accord come forward voluntarily to confess sincerely
and penitentially their sins against the Church, shall
be received into the ample bowels of her charity
(ampie viscere di carita), and treated with that
singular clemency and mercy for which the Holy
Inquisition has ever been memorable.

it is needless to dwell further upon services to the sick and
wounded which are known to the whole world—which have
redounded to the honour of the nation, which have made
her name dear to the army and to the country, and which
secure to her a place in the history of our times as the
worthy leader of one of the most remarkable movements
which this war, in many respects memorable, has pro.
duced

The health of " Miss Nightingale " was received with
the most enthusiastic applause. A few more speeches
were made, when the company were called upon to
sing " Auld Lang Syne," which they did with much
spirit and effect.
The meeting separated shortly before ten o'clock.
The utmost good order and attention marked the
conduct of the soldiers throughout the proceedings,
and altogether the speeches were as well heard as
was possible in so large a hall and in so crowded a
meeting. A large assemblage awaited outside to
cheer the gallant guests on their way to their
quarters.

RUSSIA.

Count Gortschakoff, the Russian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has just transmitted to all the Rus-
sian agents abroad a circular from General Prince
Gortschakoff, Governor of Poland, stating that all
Poles who had taken refuge abroad in order to avoid
military service are admitted to enjoy the benefit of
the amnesty, and may return home without fear of
being molested.
The Nord of Brussels announces that the Rugqian

A letter from St. l'etersburg, in the Prelim of
Brussels, says:—" The question of the settlement
of the frontiers of Bessarabia is not considered here
of a nature to give rise to serious misunderstand-
ings. The question of ceding or holding Bolgrad is
really not important enough to give rise to the
breaking up of alliances; it is, however, a favor-
able opportunity for exciting a schism betweeti
France and England. Our Government, I repeat,
is decided on executing the conditions imposed by
the treaty of Paris, which are in fact neither oner-
ous nor humiliating; only, in the accomplishment
of its duty, it displays the slowness which has be-
come proverbial."

SPAIN.

The Gazette publishes a de..ree, naming a com-
mission of general statistics in Spain. The resigna•
tion of General Don Enrique O'Donnell, as Governor
of Cadiz, has been accepted.
The Nacion, a I'rogressist journal, has ceased to
appear.
The Duke de Valencia (Narvaez), who had been
indisposed, is better.
It is expected that the Gazette will soon give the
state of the Treasury, with the financial plans of the
G overnment.

The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Cracow of the 2nd :

The prolongation of the occupation of the Danubian
principalities and of the Black Sea by the English has the
consequence of causing numerous corps of Russian troops
to stay in Southern Russia, in Podolia, and Volhynia. 11p
to the present time, not one of the corps whith lett the
Crimea has appeared in the interior of Russia or in
Poland. The two divisions of Grenadiers which left the
Crimea in the spring, and which were to have gone to
Moscow for the coronation, did not arrive there, but have
remained in the south. Political reasons can Alone explain
the retention of these large bodies of troops in the
southern provinces.

PUBLIC MONIES.

WE undertook to extract from the evidence
and appendices of the Committee on Public
Monies such information as would convey
soinething like an accurate notion of tho sys-
tem under which the eighty millions of our
national expenditure is managed from its re-
ceipt to its final disbursement, in order that
our readers may be enabled to judge for them-
selves whether the regulations and checks
arc sound in principle, and such as would be
considered sufficient, on a comparatively small
scale, in any of our commercial institutions.

We have applied ourselves to this task, not
only because the Select Committee of last
session have refrained from giving to the pub-
lic any opinion or conclusion of their own, but
because there is a kind of mystery and igno-
rance as regards the administration of our
finances which it is strange should exist
among a commercial people.

prehension oven of the terms which form the

The usual American mail, with dates to the 22nd
ult., brings no intelligence of any importance. The
Presidential election was the absorbing topic of the
country, and Mr. Buchanan's position was con-
sidered as improved by the result of the Pennsylva-
nian election.

Intelligence from Central America stays that

in two pitched battles, and threatened to overrun the

NAPLES.

Accounts have been received by sea from Naples
to the 3rd. The King came to the capital on the
30th ult., and held a Council of Ministers. An envoy
had left for Rome, charged with a mission. He was
expected to return to Gaeta on the Nth. The French
steam-frigate Ditchayla and an English steamer
were cruising off Naples, and had exchanged salutes
with the forts. Some of the officers landed and
walked about the city. It is said that these
vessels are to remain in observation, and are to be
successively relieved by others. There was a
report of the intended publication of different
decrees relative to administrative matters and to
public works.

The Frankfort Journal prints from Vienna the
intelligence that England is about to effect " a mili-
tary occupation of the Island of Sicily!" as a coun-
terpoise to the Austrian and French occupation of
the Roman States.

THE PRESS.

The African mail, with dates from Lagos, Oct. ith,
has arrived.

A collision among the natives at Bonny had
occurred, and the inhabitants of Lagos were expect-
ing an attack.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Persia, from New
York, with advices to the 20th of October, was off
Holyhead at half-past two yesterday afternoon.

The appointments of Robert William Keats, Esq.,

IRISH "LIBERAL" M.Ps.

THE recent attempt to storm the Irish Judicial
Bench, along with some other remarkable cir-
cumstances, have again directed attention to
the Trish popular representatives. It is a
painful topic, for, unhappily, the subject is
environed with invidious consideration. But
it is necessary to consider whether there may
not be some practical cure of evils, which must
be remedied if we wish to see Ireland raised,
or the empire rescued from the portentous
evil of a degenerate class of senators, who, in
the opinion of Whig Cabinets, are to be sus-
tained and tolerated as the Lazzaroni of Libe-
ralism.

That the " popular" representatives of Ire-
land in the last twenty years have fallen vastly
below their previous social status, is a fact
on which there is no difference amongst poli-
tical observers. While the Coliser‘ative
Members from the sister country sustain
favorable comparison with the representatives
from other portions of the empire, it is certain
that a large class of Members have been re-
turned by the Irish " popular " party who
reflect no credit on Ireland, and who inflict
great evil on the empire. It is, perhaps, too
hasty to assume that there is any necessary
connection between this particular class of
Irish M.Ps. and the change which was called
" Catholic Emancipation," because, in point of
precedence and social pretension, the M.Ps.
to whom we refer grossly misrepresent the
Roman Catholic gentry. They are only the
nominees of the priests, and in Parliament
they are little more than political attornics.
They do not display any of the brighter
qualities of their countrymen. They have
neither the versatile power of O'CONNELL, nor
the vivid rhetoric of SH:EL. They are coarse,
not witty; loquacious, not eloquent; wrangling
in words, not vigorous in deeds. As politicians,
they have no system ; as public characters,
the.) have no genuine mission. Both parties
alike regard them as adventurers, whose
aims and ends are purely selfish.
What is equally remarkable about them is,
that they do not represent the historic names
of Izoland, though many Irish families, en-
dowed with high blood and considerable
fortunc, exhibit " popular" tendencies. They
are, in the lowest sense of the phrase, " new
men," and they have not the personal genius,
nor brilliant powers, which often mark the
first founders of a name. There are none of the
Butlers amongst them, nor of the Ponsonbies,
nor the Boyles, nor the Grattans, nor the
Floods. It may be said that those are Pro-
testant names and families. 'Well; take the
Roman Catholic nobility and gentry of Ire-
land, and let it be marked how studiously the
electional powers of the Catholic community
avoid choosing from amongst the old Coin-
molten of their body. It is thus that Lord
Ck4TLERO,•sE, the son of the Earl of KENMARE,
Sits for Kerry ; but the families of Viscount

BANK CHARTER ACT.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on Tuesday,
in reply to Mr. Baillie, said the !present Charter Act
did not require alteration. If no objection existed
on the part of the Bank, it was his intention during
this session to bring in a bill to continue that pro-
vision of the act by which the Bank of England
agrees to pay to those private banks which have
withdrawn their paper circulation one per Cent. per
annum upon the average issue of the three previous
years.

BOARD OF ADMIRALTY.
Sir CHARLES WOOD, on Tuesday, in reply to Sir
Charles Napier, objected to lay before the house the
evidence caked by the commission of the working of
be different departments of the Admiralty.
London, England, 1856-02-23

THE KINGDOM OF DUDE.

Replying to Mr. Otway,
Mr. V. SMITH stated that, in consequence of the
prevailing distress in the Kingdom of Oude a large
discretionary power of interference bad been given
to Lord Dalhousie, but no annexation had yet taken
place. The papers on the subject would, ho added
be produced in a few days.
Sir E. PERRY denounced the policy of annexation
which had characterised the administration of Lord
Dalhousie in India.

SATURDAY,

After a few words from Sir J. W. liouu and Mr.
ROEBUCK the subject dropped.

NEW LOAN.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQI7ER rose, in com-
mittee of ways and means, to move a resolution
Authorising the Goveinment to raise a new loan
Referring to the estimates of revenue and expendi-
ture which he had propounded last session, Sir G.
C. Lewis stated, that in reality the income had fallen
short of his anticipation by about 1,600,0001., and the
expenditure had swollen by 1,060,0001. beyond his
original computation. This left the Exchequer worse
off by 3,560,0001. than had been calculated upon ; and
by this discrepancy the margin of four millions
which he had provided for the contingent expenses
of the year was nearly swallowed up, and the Trea-
sury le t bare of surplus to meet accruing demands.
By the resolution he now had to propose, the Govern-
ment would obtain power to raise a new loan of five
millions, thus covering the past deficiency and leav-
ing a smaller surplus for future expenses. The total
charge of the war for the twenty-two months and
a-half during which hostilities had now lasted, he
estimated at 43,560,000/. By the new loan of five
millions the whole sum borrowed during the current
financial year would be raised to twenty-eight
millions.

Sir H. WILLnL'OMBY commented upon the loose
manner in which the estimates had been framed, and
inquired why five millions were to borrowed on ac-
count of deficiency of only one and a half million.
Mr. WILLIAMS regretted to find that the new loan
was to be raised in so inconvertible a stock as the
Three per Cents.
Mr. GLADSTONE warned the house not to beguile
themselves with the belief that the sum stated by
the Finance Minister would constitute the whole
cost of the war. When the bills were all paid and
affairs wound up, the total would amount, in all pro-
bability, to at least half as much more.
The resolutions were agreed to, and the house
resumed.
London, England, 1856-02-23

MEDICAL PROFESSION BILL.

Mr. HEADLAM, on Wednesday, moved the second
reading of this bill.
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR objected to certain pro-
visions of the bill, which, he said, would create a
monopoly of practice, to the exclusion of homoeopathic
practitioners, and insisted that, before the house gave
such large powers to a medical body, securities
should be provided for their impartial exercise. He
did not oppose the second reading of the bill.
Sir G. GREY agreed with Lord Robert that some
clauses in the bill required very care!ul consideration
in committee, and tnat precautions should be taken
to prevent arbitrary exclusions, but lie hoped the
house would read the bill a second time.

After a short conversation, in which Mr. Henley,
Mr. Napier, and Mr. Headlain participated, the bill
was read a second time.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONS.

Sir G. GREY moved on Monday for a select com-
mittee to inquire into the present constitution of the
Ecclesiastical Commission for England ; into the
operation of the Act of the 13th and 14th of Victoria,
c. 04, and of the Act of the 14th and 15th Victoria, c.
104; and into the expediency of further continuing
the last act, and of consolidating the Church Build-
ing Commission with the Ecclesiastical Commission.
He stated briefly the objects in view in appointing
this committee and the subjects which would come
under its consideration.

A conversation ensued, in which Mr. Spooner, Mr.
Laslett, Mr. Ingham, the Marquis of Woodford, Mr.
Walpole, and other members participated, and the
motion WAS agreed to.
