THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY

with deceased and her mother. Upon the morning of the
29th, about 6 in the morning, the prisoner, as usual, called
the deceased as he went to his work, and also said to
Mrs. Bethel, the decreed's mother, "good morning."
Shortly after this Mrs. Bethel heard a loud noise, and she
got up, but was unable to get out of the room. She then
raised an alarm from the window, and a l►bouring man,
named Sheller, who was passing, entered the kitchen
of Mrs. Bethel's house, and there saw the deceased girl lying
upon her back with a wound in her throat. Some of the
neighbours came in and raised her upon the sofa, shortly
after which she died. A double gun, freshly discharged. was
found standing against the copper. The prisoner was then
found to have shot himself in the head, causing a fearfully
lacerated wound, from the effect, of which he was for
some time in a dangerous state in the hospital.
[The trial was proceeding when we went to prom.]

IMPERIAL P.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.)
The Swats took the chair at 12 o'clock.
CLERGY RELIEF BILL

Mr. BOTlVEltilhWilig moved the third reading of this

Sir L. PALK moved that it be read • third time that day
three mouths. The bill was a most objectionable one, and
even if it were read • third time he did not think there was
any
_chance of its passing into a law, but they were not jus-
tified in trusting to the House of Lords to correct the
legislative en-ore of the House of Commons. (Hear.)
It laid down the monstrous proposition that the House of
Commons should have the power to release priests from
that church which they had by the most solemn oaths and
obligations bound themselves to genre—a power never as-
sumed by the Pope of Rome in the most intolerant days of
papal domination. To do away with oaths altogether was
another matter, but while the Prayer-book required them to
he taken as a condition for orders they would not be justified
in paging a measure to absolve from the obligations those
oaths imposed those who after due deliberation had taken
than. Then what was even more objectionable was the practice
of the bill, for it left it free to those who were under its
provisions divested of the priestly character to teach heresy
and schism. The house had not yet prouounced any opinion
upon it.
Mr. LYGON seconded the amendment.
Lord HENLEY hoped the house, having passed the bill
through its previous stages, would not refuse its assent to
this, the hut one. The bill only relieved those who dis-
sented from the doctrines of the church of
England. These were a very small number of
the church, and therefore the bill went but
a very little way. He should have been glad had it gone
further. There were those who, having taken orders, found
themselves unfitted for clerical duties, either those of
preaching or visiting the poor ; it would be better for
the church, as well so for such persons, if they were per-
mitted to lay down their orders and betake themselves to
some other profession in which they could be usefaL There
were those who felt from the life led they were unfitted
for the church—these, too, ought to be allowed to subside
into the laity. Again, there was the case of persons, as
younger sons, who took orders as a means of living—such
persons might succeed by death of an elder brother or other-
wise to competence, and might very naturally desire to turn
their abilities into some other useful channel than the
church, and if so they ought to be allowed to do so. It
might be said that they might become magistrates, but
many thought that the duties of a magistrate were
incompatible with those of a clergyman, and
one lord lieutenant objected to appoint clergy-
men as magistrates. But there were other positions of
usefulness which persons of the deesiption referred to might
fill with advantage to themselves and the country. There
was one clause which he thoughtopeeto objection; it was that
which provided that the bishop should pronounce la stest*
against them. It was very likely that persons who so de-
sidered to throw off holy orders would not much care about
any sentence which the bishop could pronounce,to but he objected this power being placed
in the hands of the bishop. He also objected
to the prohibition the bill imposed upon persons so
denuded of holy orders sitting in that house, ootindering
that they should, on being restored to the laity, be free
to all the rights sod privileges of laymen.
Mr. BOUYERIE regretted that the opposition should
have been reserved for this its last stage of the bilL Unless
some such principle was adopted, the clergy of the
Church of England were denied all rights of conscience.
ft often happened that men took orders in the church
fully convinced of the truth of its doctrines, but
afterwards conscientiously changed their opinions. Was
there any sense in compelling such men to preach
from the pulpit doctrines from which they dissented?
Or was a man who entertained doctrines which the church
called heresy, like Mr. Heath, to be deprived of hie ministry
and at the same time debarred from engaging himself
in any other occupation, and thus condemned to penury
during his life! Was a law which left men
whose only crime was that they openly declared
the doctrines they conscientiously believed in that position
which could be consisteetly maintained? If a clergyman
turned from the church and became& Roman catholic priest
there was a special act of parliament exempting him from all
penalties on account of secession—could they then consist-
ently continue those penalties against persons who seceded
oe points of doctrine, but still elected to remain protes-
tant' ? He knew of numerous cases in which the law ope-
rated most severely against men who feeling they could not
conscientiously discharge the duties of clergymen retired
from that position, and sought to enter the ter, or some
other occupation. There was the case of Mr.
Baptist Noel, who seceded some time ago from
the church upon some doctrinal points, and be-
came a dissenting minister. As the law now stood that
gentleman might be at aoy moment proceeded against, and
cast into prison —and that not at the instance of the bishop
(for he believed that no bishop would think of proceeding
against him for preaching the Bible)—but any person
might put the powers of the Ecclesiastical Law in force in
the name of the bishop, and Mr. Noel would be liable to
be imprisoned for six mouths unless he consented to be
silent for ever. The bill did not touch the qucation
of orders, as the honourable member opposite supposed,
it merely provided that the temporal authority of the state
should no longer be brought into requisition to enforce
obligations upon men which they censcieutiously repudiated.
He differed from the hon. gentleman as to the
chances of the bill succeeding in another place.
From what he (Mr. Bouvene) had heard, he
believed that if it were read a third time by the House of
Commons it had • very good chance of being passed in
another place, where SOON of the highest authorities in the
church—the Bishop of Exeter amongst them—had pro-
pounced opinions in favour of such a relaxation of the ex-
isting law. _

Mi. ROEBUCK supported the bill. He could see
nothing in the imposition of a bishop's band on a young
man which should afterwards prevent him from changing
any of his religious opinions. Such a state of things
would only bring down ridicule on the church.
Sir G. GREY thought that clergymen who changed their
opinions ought not to remain under the preseat liability.
The valid objections to the bill had in his opinion been re-
moved by the committee, and he thought the house would
not act wisely in rejecting it on the third reading.
After a few words from Mr. 1). Carrara, in opposition
to the bill,

_ -
The house divided.
For the the third reading
Against it
The bill was therefore lost.
The numbers were received with loud cheers from the
opposition.
CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL.
Mr. NEWDEGATZ, in moving the second reading of
this bill, said—What he now asked of the house was
simply to allow the bill to be referred to a select com-
mittee, in order that it might hereafter receive gene-
ral assent. His proposal was mainly to declare
all personal liability null, and to revert to the ancient
source of tho maintenance of the services and fibrins of the
church by enacting that that portion of the gross produce of
real property which was never included in the rent payable
tr the lac should be reserved for the benefit of the
church.

The Madrid Epoch of the let inst. contains the
following cursory allusion to the opinions of the
Spanish lawyers in favour of the claims of the cer-
tificate holders, as recently published in London :
The Times which arrived yesterday contains some very
curious documents on the oelebrated question of the certifi-
cates of coupons. These are a series of opinions from
Mews. Pacheco. D. Jose, Olosags, Alvsrez, Acenedo, Mo-
nares, Cortina, Peru, sad Riven, CidriKue, in which as
lawyers they prove the rights which they believe the holders
of these certificates possess to claim a settlement of their
debt which, u regards the interest, the Spanish govern.
ment cannot fail to satisfy. These lawyers treat the goes.
tion on a legal ground, although some of them, political
men, dilate upon the advantages which Spain would reap
from the opening to her of the markets of England and
Holland. . .

The agents-general for crown colonies, acting on
behalf of the government of Ceylon, will receive

The following report on the condition of the
vines in France and Germany is from a circular
issued on Monday by Messrs. Groves and Co. :
It is with much gratification that we are enabled to report
favourably of the present condition of the vines in France
and Germany. The information received from our cor-
respondents in tho several wine districts is most encouraging.
The vines generally throughout France and Germany are in
fine condition, the nether, although as ungenial there as
it has been here, has not yet done material damage tothem,
and the injury reported to have been done by the frost is in
many instances insignificant, and to all, as usual, greatly
exaggerated. Of course it is not our wish to encourage
hopes of a good and abundant vintage which a continuance
of bad weather may entirely dissipate. It will not there-
fore do to discount the future ; but, we may state as • fact,
that should no unforeseen circumstances occur the vintage
of 1862 will be more favourable than it has bean for some
years past. This desirable state of affairs has had some
induence upon holden on the other side, and, except for old
and high classed wince, purchases can sow be made on
easier terms than they could a few months ago.
