-A t proposed, to leave out Irani the word
pro "nit the Bill be now read a second time ."
" That " to the end of the question, in order to add the
words "it is unjust and inexpedient to abolish the ancient
customary right, exercised from time immemorial by the
ratepayers of every parish in England, to raise by rate
amongst themselves the sums required for the repair of
their church, until some other provision shall have been
made by parliament for the discharge of those obligations,
to which, by =Mom or statute, the churchwardens, on
the part of the parish, are liable,"-(Mr. Sotheron Eat-
court)-Instead thereof :--Question put, "That the words
proposed to be left out stand part of the question." The
house divided ; ayes, 296 ; noes, 287.

his being a director, the •ifesras of the
Roue held that the Marquis wia liable. Upon
this point the LORDS di:76mm differed. No evi-
dence was produced to show that this nobleman,
though he consented to become a director, aver
undertook or intended to become a member, or to
be a holder of the stock of the Company. It ap-
peared to them, therefore, that although he con-
sented to be a director, he was not a partner in
the concern. But Lord Amutooax had done some•
thing more. Although he did not attend to the
affairs of the Company, still a sum of 105/. was
invested in the funds of the society in his name,
and the dividends of this sum were paid to Messrs.
Courrs and Co., his lordship's bankers. This
sum of 1051. was the sum due for fees to which
Lord Aszacolur was entitled as a director.
Now, the fact that Lord ABERCOHN,
through his bankers, received the divi-
dends of this small sum, satisfied the
Muir= of the Roue that he must be placed on
the list of contributories, to discharge the debts of
the Company. On the other hand, it appeared
that Lord ABERCORN was entirely ignorant of the
fact that this sum was invested, and that
although he knew that certain small payments
were made by way of dividend, neither he nor his
bankers understood the nature or cause of the pay-
ments thus made. Under these circumstances the

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 15.

Tex intelligence received by the steamer City
of New York will, we presume, put an end to the
ingenious explanations by which earlier informa-
tion to the same effect was shown to be ground-
less and illusive. All that remains now to be said
on that side of the question is, that the fall of
Now Orleans was foreseen long ago, and that it is
the very best thing that could have happened for
the Southern cause. _ _

Loans Jurneas came to the conclusion that the
Marquis should not be deemed a contributory.
Neither the purchase of the 1051. investment was
authorised, nor had his hankers, Messrs. Courrs,
ever been directed to do any act by which he was
recognised as the holder of the investment in
question.
But whilst Lord ABERCORN is relieved from all
pecuniary liability by the decision of the Loans
JUSTICE% it must be admitted that throughout the
whole transaction this nobleman has been guilty
of the most culpable negligence. So clearly,
indeed, was this fact established that the Loans
Jurricas have directed that he shall not receive his
costs. Although Lord ABERCORN may not have
made himself liable for the debts incurred by Mr.
Parrs MoamsoN, it is but too certain that his
name may have induced many an unfortunate
tradesman or helpless woman to intrust her money
to the hands of the man whose moneytraps were
baited by such aristocratic names. Few people
have any means of judging as to the real merits
of any commercial speculations except by the
names of its trustees and directors, and other
people connected with it. It would be an insult
to the common sense of Lord AMCORN to sup-
pose that he lent his name either as a director or
as a trustee without some object. Even the auda-
cious ingenuity of Mr. Per= Moasisos did not
attempt to decoy his victims by the pretence of
charity. It is to be presumed that in lending his
name Lord Aaratcosar looked forward to some
possible benefit. If noblemen cannot live to
their mind upon their hereditary property, or
upon the produce of orthodox investments, such as
land and the funds, let them put off all dis-
guise, and become merchants and tradesmen.
But when they adopt the mercantile line let them
do it in earnest. The chairman of a company
must look to the affairs of the company ; the noble
banker must sit in his back parlour ; the noble
wine merchant must see that the wine sent out to
his customers is not adulterated ; the noble baker
must see that the bread and morning rolls are kept
pure.

The Secession Mayor of the City appears to I
have behaved very much as might have been ex-
pected of the representative of • party which
had surreptitiously resorted to arms and failed.
The complaint of the pressure of brute force comes
with a singular grace from those who, living under
the freest constitution the world ever saw, declined
all conference, and seized arms the first time the
national vote was given against them. New
Orleans has probably chosen a Union Mayor
before this time, and the flag difficulty has been
got over. The reluctance with which this great
city entered into the rebellion is well known. The
reports about the movements of General Baku-
nr.ozzn are too uncertain to be relied on, but they
nevertheless deserve attention. The more the situ-
ation of that Confederate leader is examined the
more untenable will it appear. The difficulty
in accepting the statement that he has gone to
Memphis arises from the difficulty of perceiving
how such • march would improve his position.
The surrender of Fort Macon, on the coast of
North Carolina, to General BURNSIDE, is in itself
an advantage of some importance, and moreover
makes that General's force once more disposable.
