THE CHURCII-ILATB DIVISION.

• -
The division on the second reeding of the Church-
rota Abolition Bill gives the oopments of church-rates a
majority of seventy-three in the Unmet house which bas yet
voted upon the question. The mum and pairs together made
up 646 members, of whom 308 affirmed the second reeding,
sedan 238 opposing it. When It le recollected that the
conservatives claim • pia of twenty-five votes as the bane
I of the late election, the fact that Sir John Tideway's bill
hes been carried by • majority of only four lees than In
February lest, is • striking proot of parliamentary
=T. Of the ten members of the cabinet who are
ime of Commons, Lords Palmeestoe and John Rus-
sell, Sirs George Grey, G. C. Lewis, end C. Wood, end
Hess". Cardwell, Gib.m4 sad Villiers, voted In Savour of
the hill; Mr. Wispy Herbert being ..been'. and Mr. °let-
stone giviag yet one more vote to hiss late shies. Among the
more moderate whine by whom they were followed into the
lobby, and who have heretofore given the abolitionism but •
halting support, er nom, were Lord Ashley, Sir P. Baring,
Mr. James W. Boller, the Rawl of Boston, Colonel Per-
son, Si, John Hanger, Mr. G. C. Hsrcoart end Mr.

added to them Sir James Elphinstente. Mr. °reread wee,
doubtless, prevented from fulfilling hie remises by circuit
engagements, end Mr. Hoare has only prombed, it mew, to
vote for vital abolition when there is stains dm to ofkie—•
llme which. we judge ban his vote, be does not ecomider to
have arrived. The liberal benches still tarnish opponents to
the hill, in the persons of Captain Amon end Lord George
Cavendleb. The debate afforded • marked contraet to that

In giving the tomato( the evening,
The CueleMAN said—l tiave now to perform • bet
which I deeply weenie he. not fallen to the lot of
the distinguished nobleman for whom it was originally in-
tenied. (" No, no.") Let me say one word as to the origin
of this banquet. Many of you know that every son of Eton
looks beck with feelings of the tendered affection to the
school in which he was educated—(Ahern)—and teeny of
you who have not had the happiness of being educated there
may ktow that there is a freemasonry amongst no Etq
boys which draws us together la whatever circa
we may be placed in future life, or in whatever queer of
the world. (Cheers.) Well, then, we Etonian*, the co-
temperance of Charles Kean, feel that whilst the school Mt
set forth some of the most distinguished names in this
country es generals, orator*, and poste, &leo think
that in Charles Keen we have • man of whom
the school may well be proud, end for bin*
we are anxious to prove in the most public, manner our
friendsbip and adusiredon. (Loud chars) But we also
file it right that in each • demons ,mien ma we proposed to
give all should have an opportunity of participating. We
felt that the fame of Chutes Kean was the property of all
Englishmen, gad that although it had commenced at Eton,
a bed pawn with hie growth, and now belonged generally to
his ego sad country. (Cheers.) For these reasons we in-
vited you all to join In this banquet, and is the testimonial
with Mich a commencement is to be made this evening.
(Hier, Mr.) It would detain you too long if I were to
at emit to give an) thing like a biography of our guest ; but
Imy mention that it is now some thirty-five year. since
heesse oest and some others who St at this table, were
at school. That at school he was distinguished
yea may Infer from what you have seen of his after life, end
that as • boy he was popular may be concluded from the
begs number of friends whom you now see gathered around
him. (Loud clews) But that he wan no mere bookworm
at school I can prove, from the fact that while mhos. wee-
easy, Mr. Taunton. was captain of the boats, Kr. Kean was
second captain, pulling stroke oar in a match of six ; and it
is a singular fact that of the six who then contended, four
ere now sitting in this room. (Loud cheers.) Nay, tuck
was the mgour of his rivalry, that I believe the mica was •
drawn one; at all events, I know that the event was
subsequent]; celebrated by • jolly breakfast of both crews.
(Cheers sad laughter.) The year he left Eton he took to
the stage. It would be impertinent in me to refer to the
emus which induced him to take that step, but I may men-
tion that his education had pointed to an entirely different
anew. I believe that six years from that time he performed
along with his distinguished father, who died shortly after ;
and that on that mouton he also acted in cosjoaction with
another who has not be unconnected with hie tab-
sequin destinypeewee —I mean Miss Ellen Tree. (Loud cheers.)
That distinguished lady has since then bees the '
partaker of all Mr. Keses troubles and labours, and
now she Is the happy participator In all his
fame and glory. (Renewed cheering.) It would be absurd
in me to suempt ate time like the present giving anything
like • dissertation upon the elate of the stags at the time
when Charles Kean entered the dramatic profession, but this
I may say, that for some time briers there bad been a com-
plete severance of dramatic poetry from the theatre, and that
et a time when such poetry delighted every one In the closet.
ilkskapeare war excluded from that stage upon which it Ind
been the great bard's delight to bring out his happiest con-
ceptions. To reform this evil, and to introduce the nutmeg
reform', have been the great tininess of Mr. Kean's life. In
the days of ancient Gleam the drama was one of the
mot effective loath:emu in teaming the character of that
remarkable people, and If It does not go so far at the present
day, it still has • powerful indaence, and to the restoration
of the poetic drams we may trace the most Important improve-
ments in manner., morale, and convantem. The pus-
Dn. of the Tudor times descended to obscenity end rode
gacy in the Me of Charlie 11., but since then it tiee
gradually been improving, and to no one are we more in-
debted for this purification of the drama than to our gum of
this evening, Mr. Charles Kean. (Loud cheers.) I have
before referred to =Went Green, and I would remind my
bearers that those who was distinguished actors
in that country were ccnetdered worthy of the
highest honours of the state, and it would be
strange in these mode n days of leaning, and
literature, and art, that while other artists, posts, printers,
and sculptors, received frequent weeds of epprobanoce—so far
from deprecatinc that, I do not think they receive truly so
much as they ought—(hear, bear)—e branch of art fin which I
perfeclion t most rate and most difficult to wrist at, and
which has been until uow east in the shade, Is tweeted with
obloquy and iudifference. The reform of the stage was com-
menced by the illustrious Garrick, it was followed up by the
elder Kean, end now stands metered under the auspices of
tutmt., of that evening. (Hear, hoer) I allude more
y to whet has bees called his Shalreperientevivale
7417row.their merits, we have seen them crittc:sed, and
we hove seen them outlive erhieirtn, but not on
thus alone does Mr. Kean's fame entirely rest. As an actor
he has exbibited philosophy in art, and a profound knowledge
of human nature; he has shown the indtenee of mind over
the platoon ; he has Ma no copyist, no mannerist, no man
of one trick or one idea. (Hear, hear.) Moreover,
our guest has been a great creator of historical pictures. I
see some distinguished painters in tide room, and I ask them
whether they do not look upon Kr. Krause a rival in their
set, only that their productions are religiously preserved,
whilst his perish on the same evening upon which they lave
been comprised, leaving nothing but their fame behind them.
Sliskspeare aalts, " Can this cockpit hold the vasty fields of
France but Mr. Kean has made his stage hold the moat
extended animated picture's, and in none of his uodertakings
has he been actuated by • Mere comtoercial spirit. (Hear:,
He no doubt has felt the truth of the couplet which Mlle me
that
" The drama's laws the drama's patrons give,
And those who live to plum, must please to live."
But be hse never allowed gain to induce him to swerve from
that line of duty which he had in the first instance merited
out for bin:self. He bas followed his career steadily end un-
moved by selfish sonsiderations, and he now ecijoys the
reward in the esteem and admiration of his country. (Cheers )
I ask you than to drink Mr. Keen's health, as of one whose
private worth surrounded biro, even while at school, with a
circle of affectionate and admiring friends; as of one whose
love for his ptofession amounts almost to eathualsam, and
finally I meek you to drink his health as of one whom I may
say
.without exaggeration that he is the kieterch of that
"loam temple in which Shakespeare is enshrined. (Load
chews.)
Mr. C. Know rose to acknowledge the tout, and was
received with loud and protracted cheering. He said that
when he entered that hall, sad took his seat &moven that
distinguiehed company, se the Invited guest of the evening,
he felt and appreciated at its full value, sad he tensed with
becoming pride, the fiatterieg position to which the kindness

pated she warm end gracious aulogium of their
noble chairman, so kindly and so eloquently expreesed, or
the eothenisetio response of the compaay, which he might

He was weeny usable to thank them me he could with, end
he must throw himself on their indulgeeco, entreating them
to believe that the deepest sentiments of gratitude filled his
beast. There was no more marked voila in human character
wounde strength with which the anocietions of boyhood
themselves round the beat; the remembrance of
' three happy days at school or college, when hope wee
bright, when the mind was engrossedwith the present, end
when the gathering clouds of the future were unseen and
unnoticed. All the shelling visions of that pest period
come back upon him at that moment, after
the lapse of more than thirty years, with all the
freshness of yesterday, and with a deep sense of enjoyment
when he saw so many tot old familiar feces" around him et
that eatertsinosear. (Cheers.) It was indeed a haggises

Italy, betrays how eensible he has already becomes

of the light is which his proceedings at Viftsfranes
are everywhere regarded. There was much dif-
ference of opinion io France and throughout Europe
respecting the policy of the war: there is nose
as to its abrupt and sinister termination. It is
hard to say whether those who behaved in the
foresight and sincerity of the self-appointed liberator
of Italy, or those who harboured misgivings as to hie
real purpose in crossing the Alps, find most fault
with the precipitate and inconclusive peace furtively
signed at Vitabencs. The mercenary friends eq

fifty million' squandered in Tabs in as many days
en the battle-field, while the genuine binds of
huameity lament the effusion of so meek bassd
without the attainment of any more mreffel
moult than a prorogation of further amp

upon the fact that not eves his federal allies (to say
nothing of Russia or England) would draw a
sword to aid him. Which of their Imperial
Majesties gives the true version of the
matter we need no testimony to prove.

preciee terms might have been which would h►ve
been thus offered we need not here discuss; what-
ever they were likely to be in the opinion d
N.trottox 111., they could not have bees
worse than these which he has himself
sought to impale; if they were we should not be
loug in learning them. The spirit of resentment
breathes unmistakeably through every sentence of
the speech delivered on Tuesday evening at St.
Cloud ; but not a hint is dropped that Italy is better
off under the pacification of Villafrenea than it
would have been had her cause been frankly ear
mated to the arbitrament of the three great nano-
telested powers of Northern sod tom-Catbelie
Europe. A single phrase is devoted sercedisc
to custom to the expression of hopes for the
tranquillity of Christendom ; but is every Cattiest.
and on every Boone, the universal conviction is, that
the attempt, unprecedented save at Tilsit, to conclude
peace without consulting allies, and to dispose of
sovereignties and peoples without the pretreat or
show of making the consent of either, is certain to
prove a source of new and deep disquietude both far
and near.

Every sentence spoken by the French Eisreaoa
to his wondering auditory at St. Cloud is •
confession that he meant the clandestine armis-
tice and subsequent bargaining at Vtllafr•na•
to be a grand coop : and that he im now paw
fully conscious it hu proved a crop mango!.
It will be in vein to rink the Courts and Cabinets
whom he hos treated with such raah disregard, to
become endorsers of hie repudiated draft on the
patience of mankind. As they declined to take
either side in the sanguinary conflict, they would
have hod no right to complain of their not having
been consulted formally in the negotiations for ite
meratioli. Itut the re-arrangement and re-die-

tribution of states nod populations cannot be •
matter of indifference to toe other Powers of
Europe ; and if it be true that at the very moment
when the two unattended despots were affecting to
deal in this Oriental fashion with the inhabitants of
Seethes and Central Italy, the envoys of NAPO-
-I.los 111. were aseidnously urging other Powers to
Interpose their goal offices and commis, it cannot be
deemed strange if the latter should now inexorably
refits, to SWOT into any conference or congrees of
which the bails is to be the recognition, direct or in-
direct, of an act flagrantly at variance with every
principle of international good faith, civilisation, and
law. Had it been • mere question of exigency
in point of time. and that, to 'see the waste of human
life which a third great battle would have named,
proposals had been interchanged, conditional on the
acceptance of the Italians, or the confirmation of a
Enropea• congress ; and had the propositions when
disclosed been such as to divide opinion as to
their probable effects upon Italian freedom or ono-
tinental peace, the ease would have been far diffe-
rent. But not • shred of palliation of either kind is
perceptible in any quarter. Italy has received
the tidings of the fate intended her by
her now conjoined oppressors with a unani-
mous groan of consternation and disgust; insurgent
Florence can hardly be restrained within bound" at
the threat of being flung back to the hereditary
viceroys of Austria; Milan half forget. her own
