denies, it remains to ask whether some rasouice
not hitherto drawn upon nOy not exist, either for
correcting the evils to be' apprehended, arad in-
deed already visible, or at least for miti-
gating their intensity. It is not to be
denied for a moment that these practices
are alienating from the Church of England large
numbers of its' most enlightened and sincerely
attached members. The Rev. W. B. Horzirra
observed last week in Convocation that "nothing
" within his recollection had given so great a check
"to the spread of Church feeling and Church
" principles amongst the middle and tradesmen
" class as this ritualistic movement. They said,
" If it cornea to this we will go to the Roman
" Catholics at once. We don't want half the
" thing ; if this is to be permitted, better let us
" go over to the Church of Rome at once.'
" Others said, We must stop short of this. This
" will never do. If this is to go on we will go
"' to the Dissenting places of worship.' People
" not only said so, but they went."
Worshippers in tee Church of England are ac-
customed to great latitude and variety in the
manner of conducting its public service ; but when
it comes to the elevation of the Host and the ado-
ration of the Bread and Wine, they know that the
practice is not in accordance with the doctrine of
our Reformed Church, and they will not endure
it. The remedy. we submit, has been indicated by
the Ritualists themselves. They claim to follow
their practices in the name of freedom. They
have asserted the principle of decentralization and
independence, unrestrained either by presbytery
or bishop ; they have claimed immunity from
control external to their own particular Church,
and public opinion has not encouraged any at-
tempt to restrain this development of the ten-
dency to local self-government. Then be it so :
let every parish or district church be a law unto
itself. But, if this principle be admitted, some
further changes will become necessary, and the
question will arise, In whom shall this self-govern-
ing power be vested I In the rector, vicar, or
perpetual curate T But this would be to give
every congregation a separate Pope. The system
of the Church of England at no time contem-
plated the exercise of this absolute power. The
priest was amenable to the bishop, and both to
the law. If these methods of protecting the laity
—for whom bishops, priests, and law exist—fail,
the laity must be recognised in their proper per-
sons as members of the several congregations, and
their rights must be directly acknowledged. They,
more than any others, are interested in the mainte-
nance of public worship, and the preservation of its
decent and reasonable character. The laity of each
congregation, then, should have a legal and definite
right of control over the rites and ceremonies of
the Church to which they belong. If together with
this concession a power were given to the minority
to form new congregations, scope would be given to
diversities of taste and feeling, and liberty would
be secured with order.

THE BALLOT.

?tr. H. BERKELEY postponed his motion on this sub-

THE ILUIR RATE OF DISCOITNT.

➢lr. WATKIN eked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
what communications had taken place between himself and
the Bank of England, in reference to his letter, and to the
continuance of the discount rate of 10 per cent. by the
Bank.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I do not
know that I can say that any communications of a formal
or official nature have taken place. But after writing on
the part of the government a letter of that character in
conjunction with my noble friend Lord Russell, I natu-
rally took pains to inform myself, and the governor and
deputy-governor of the Bank kindly seconded my desire,
as to the course of the operations of the Bank, and the
state of its reserve from day to day, so long as it appeared '
to be probable, or within the range of anything like likeli-
hood, that that letter might be so far acted upon as to
lead to proceedings not sustained by the act of 1544.
(Hear, hear.) lam not quite sure whether the question
of my hun. friend is intended to go beyond that, or whether
he desires to know, as I should rather infer from his ones-
tion, whether and in what degree the government are
parties to the present course of action on the part
of the Bank. With respect to that subject, the letter ,
itself explains the point up to which the government
is engaged in joint action with the Bank, that is to say
ender certain hypothetical circumstances which have not
actually arrived. Short of the arrival of those circum-
stances I do not consider that it is any part of the func-
tions of the government to attempt to instruct or influence
the Bank in regard to the course it may think tit to take in
reference to the discount of bills and the price it may
charge for acceptance. I think that such a mixture of func-
tions, if it took place at all, ought to be recognised and
defined by law. I am by no means of opinion that it should
receive the sanction of law, but certainly nothing can
be more inconvenient than the assumption of a respon-
sibility by the government in the conduct of the onli-
aary business of the Bank. (Hear, hear.) In the course
the government have taken since the issuing of that letter,
but especially in the course they have taken within the
last two or three weeks, during which there has been
some expectation of a reduction of the rate, I can only
say that the directors of the Bank have acted entirely
upon their own judgment, and bate not been influenced
by any consideration relating to the letter of the govern-
ment. (Hear, bear.) That is all I have thought it my
duty to ascertain, and I apprehend that they have been
governed entirely by banking considerations. It is not for
me to pass any opinion one way or the other upon the rec-
titude of the judgment they have formed, and undoubtedly
I should not wish it to be assumed that I have presumed
to arrive at any judgment differing from theirs, or to sup-
pose that they have formed an incorrect estimate of the
circumstances under which they acted. (Hear, hear.)

THE NEEDLE-Ctlf.

The MACS finds it to be the extreme of folly that, with
an undisputed pre-eminence in wealth and mechanical skill,
we should be content still to arm and train our soldiers
with an obsolete and comparatively ineffective weapon.
We have seen on the actual field of war that a breech.
loader doubles or trebles the numerical strength of the
force that it is armed with, and enables infantry to cope
with cavalry and artillery as infantry never could do before.
This is a revolution in the art of war and they who
neglect to recognise it will have to pay for their blindness

or their stupidity. ♦ few regiments eould be armed very
soon with a breech-loader of a pattern which, whether the
best or sot, would afford the means eta good trial. Some
of cur Volunteer Corps, too, could earn a little distinc-
tion by varying the experiment if it be necessary. The
difficulties which were stated to have been found at the
trials last year in Prance, even if real, have not prevented
the gun from destroying several Austrian armies in ten
days. Let it be remembered that the cost of one of our
ironclathr, the expense of which is never grudged,
would arm every soldier in these isles with a breech-
loader better than any in the Prussian army.
The Post does not think that the needle-gun will be the
type of military breech-loaders generally employed.
Governments which, like our own and of France, have to
bear in mind the contingency of waging war far away from
the command of civilised appliances, would think many
times, and deeply, before committing themselves to the
needle, the spiral springs, and other refinements of the
celebrated Prussian arm. Taking all points into considera-
tion, the British public have every reason to believe that
the national weapon, the Enfield, when converted into
breech-loading according to the system resolved upon by
the war authorities, will comprehend all the advantages
of the celebrated Prussian arm with none of its
advantages.

The Telegraph and Standard deal with the same subject,
the former stating that already steps have been taken by
the ministers who are going out of office to distribute
among the troops a first instalment of 20,000 needle-ions.
Their successors will, no doubt, diligently follow up the
policy, until the whole debt of effective weapons due to
the army shall have been paid in full. The Standard
trusts that parliament will not be prorogued until some
decisive xtep be taken in the matter. The incoming &ere-

THE PROGRESS OF INDIA.

Mr. TRF.VELYAN inquired of the Under Secretary for
India whether be was prepared to lay on the table a de-
tailed statement of the moral and material progress of
India, in conformity with the recent act of parliament!
Mr. STANSFELD replied that the statement had been
laid upon the table, and as it was the first of the kind he
might be allowed to say a few words as to its nature and
objects. Generally speaking, the detailed reports of the
various presidencies, which were very voluminous, had
been laid on the table in extenso, but F.arl de Grey was of
opinion that the time had arrived when, in conformity
with the provisions of the act of parliament, something
like a summary of the valuable information detailed in
those reports, which ranged over 1,000 or 1,200 pam
should be attempted. That was what they had endea-
voured to do, and the summary had been that day laid on
the table in a readable form. He trusted therefore that
it would be read, end would tend to popularise
and create an interest in Indian affairs, not
only in that house but in the country. He wished
to acknowledge the obligation the department was under
to Mr. Wakefield, a clerk in the Indian-office, who with
considerable labour and ability had drawn up the summary,
Thich was distinguished by great accuracy and lucidity of
Statement. (Hear, hear.)
THE CESSION OF VENEFIA.

Mr. B. COCHEANE—I wish to ask the Under Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs whether the report which ap
=2 in the second editions of the papers has been con-
by the news received at the Foreign-office—namely
el the defeat of the Austrian army, and the proposed
'orlon of Venetia.

Mr. LAYARD—We have received telegrams which con-
firm the defeat of the Austrian army between Josephatadt
aad KOniggrats, and have every reason to believe that
the statement of the Noniteur and the second edition of
the daily papers is correct.

A reforc demonstration under the auspices of
the Liberal Association was held on Wednesday evening
in the Lower Market, Exeter, when Mr. J. Danierel pre-
shied. The assembly was large and thoroughly a working
man's gathering, and was marked by enthusiasm, good
temper, and order.

Ma. R. W. DUFF AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—Mr.
R. W. Duff, the member for Banffshire, prints an address
to his constituents explaining why be voted with Lord
Dunkellin. He says the adoption of a rating instead of a
rental franchise would not necessarily prevent the lower-
ing of the franchise, and points out that a figure less than
71. might have been fixed as the rate for boroughs. As to
charge that the vote caused the resignation of the
ministry, be refers to Mr. Gladstone's speech in intimat-
ing her Majesty's acceptance of that resignation as
showing that the words he had used on the part of
the government " did not amount to an absolute state-
ment that if the vote was carried against" them they
should not be able to remain in office. Mr. Duff says in
conclusion, " I am prepared to act now as hitherto with
the majority of the great liberal party ; but I decline to be
led by its more extreme portieres. I sought your suf-
frages and obtained your support as a liberal, opposed to
any sweeping changes in our system of representation. I
appeal without fear to your deliberate judgment whether
I I have not vindicated those principles."

DEVONPOILT ELECTION.

The SPEAKER informed the house that he had re.
°saved a letter from the petitioners against the late return
for Davenport, stating that it was not their intention to
proceed with the petition.

HELSTON ELECTION PETITION.
Mr. R. GURNEY brought up the report of the Helton
election committee, which has already been published at
luOi. The report declared Robert Campbell, Fag. not
to have been duly elected ; W. B. Brett, Eu to have
been duly elected.
The CLERK of theCrowNhaving brought up the amended
return,
Mr. Barer came to the table and was duly sworn in u
lumber for the borough of Helton.
Mr. LOWE said be had been instructed, as chairman of
the committee, to state that although the retaining officer
had received notice from the parties that his evidence
would not be required, yet the committee were of opinion
that some of the facts disclosed required further elucida-
tion, and they had instructed him (Mr. Lowe) to make a
motion requiring the attendance of the returning officer
for examination. He moved, therefore, that the report of
the Heleton committee be taken into consideration that
day fortnight, and that the returning officer be ordered to
attend at the bar. Motion put and agreed to.

THE NEEDLE RIFLE.
Captain VIVIAN gave notice that on Tuesday, the 17th
instant, he should ask the Secretary for War whether his
attention had been drawn to the late successes of the
Prussian army, which seemed to be attributed in a great
Measure to the superiority of the Prussian needle ride
over the Austrian murzle loader ; whether the authorities
bad taken any steps to supply our troops with the needle
gun, or any other description of breech loader in the place
of the Enfield rifle ; and if so when they were likely to be
sapplied. (Hear, hear.)

FRANCE.

PARTS, JULY G.

The Colurtitutionnel of this morning believes that
the change in the English ministry will not modify
the character of the relations between England and
France. " Present circumstances," it continues,
" are, on the contrary, calculated to bring into
closer alliance the great powers not engaged in
war, and who may naturally be called upon to
exercise a useful influence over the progress
of events. We have every reason to believe par-
ticularly that the accord between England and
France, who are inspired by the same sentiment of
humanity and devotion to peace, will not be found
wanting under the exigencies of the present state
of things."

MB OPIKA MOON.

Covent-garden closed its doers for the *Neon on
Saturday evening, when the Neese di /Vire was per-
formed to a full sad fashionable hoses The opera was
on the whole straggly east, the arcesatis passim being as
follows :—The Counter, Ma e. Artot ; Swann% Madame
Lemmena-Sherrington ; Mariellina, Mdlla Anese ; Count
Almayiva, Signor Greslind ; Barthel°, Signor Ciampi ; Ba•
Signor Berl-Basal ; Figaro, M. Fame ; Antonio,
Signor Polonini ; and Cherubino, Mdlle. Pauline Lucca.
There was here a somewhat notable disappoistwiest ; in the
programme of the sesaca, Susanna was anaouneed as one
of the sew characters in which Mdlle. Adelina Patti
was to appear in the course of the season, whereas she took
her depareure before this opera was produced, and the
part of Susanna was assigned to Madame Sherringtoa•
The disappointment, after all, was more imaginary then
real ; it was merely disappointed curiosity so see how
Mdlle. Patti would acquit herself in a new part which
does not seem peculiarly suited to her means, while Madame
Sherrington's performance, in a dramatic as well as a musi-
cal point of view, was both pleasing and successful.
The extra performances at reduced price continue to be
given at Her Majesty's Theatre with undiminished success,
and for this reason we presume no period is yet assigned
for their termination. On Saturday night Le Noce di
.Figaro was given at both houses ; the characters of the
Countess and Susanna at Her Majesty's Theatre being sus-
tained by Titiens and Sinico. It seems surprising that this
celebrated work, the most beautiful comic opera in exist-
ence, should be brought out at our principal theatres only
at the fag-end of the season, while piece' which do not
deserve even to be named beside it are given night
after night, with never-failing moms. But this barn been
the case from the beginning. Figaro, since the days of its
first appearance, has never received justice from the
world. It has always been praised, and always neglected ;
its refined and delicate beauties having never been able to
contend with the garish, sensational style which has ever
carried off the popular applause.

more than usually prospeious, which is a better teat of the
great merits of the " Yachting Cruise," and the " Wed-
ding Breakfast "than anything we can say in their favour.

DAUOARR V. RIVAL

This can related to the French protestant church in St.
Martin's-le-Grand, and was argued some time ago.
in M.Dau-
gars the plaintiff, one of the pastors of the church, filed hie
bill 1857,against certain elders and officials, and obtained
an injunction to restrain them from interfering with him.
There was a continual struggle between 11. Dangers and
another pastor, M. Menials, and in February last the
elders, who took part with him, passed a resolution to sus-
pend M. Dangers. M. Dangers thereupon moved to com-
mit M. Menials and some of the elders, and the Master
of the Rolla refused to make any order, on the d
that all the defendants to the snit except K.l[arsiaL
were dead. M. appesled.
Mr. Jewel anDdarsWickens for the appellant; Mr.
Selwyn and Mr. J. Pearson for the respondent.
The Lord Junk* Turner said that assuming in favour
of the plaintiff that the injunction was against the con-
sistory and not against the individual members, he had
considered the evidence, and come to the conclusion on the
evidence that M. Markals had committed a breach of
the injunction ; but it did not follow that therefore he was
to be committed. His lordahip then read the agreement
which the plaintiff had entered into upon his appointment,
and came to the conclusion that he hadbroken it by appoint•
ing a deputy without leave. and absenting himself without
permission, and thathehad also omitted to summon certain
elders to the meetings. His lordship then commented on
the facts, and came to the conclusion that M. Dangers had
been in the wrong in so doing. His lordship further read
evidence showing that M. Dangers had claimed to be the
sole pastor. On the whole there had been much rniscon.
duct on both aides, and the court would do nothing on the
present application, which would be refused with costs.

THE FIRE AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES AT

110XTON.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, Mr. John Humphreys, the Middle-
WI coroner, resumed at the Green Man Tavern, High-
street, Holton, the investigation respecting the fire at
Fuggles', No. 28, Pitfield-street, Horton.
The tact, of this case have been already fully

the witnesses examined could account for the origin of the

two gaslights were always kept burning at night in a back
room through attempts having recently been made to rob

Sr. James Fuggles said he wished to make a statement
about the insurance. He said—ln February, 1865, I in-

rates. Lamb trade is very dull. Choice qualities find pur-
chasers, but it is difficult to dispose of middling. Calf trade
remains unaltered. Our foreign supply consists of 2,240 '

A memorial from the inhabitants of Abingdon,
both numerously and respectably signed, has been for-
warded to the Home-office, praying for further inquiry
into Toomer's case, on the grounds that the verdict was
unastisfactory to the public generally, snd, in the opinion
of the memorialists, at variance with the evidence and
medical testimony. Similar petitions are preparing from
Reeding and Newbury, and a deputation will have an in-
terview with the Secretary of State in the course of a few
days.

TATTERSALL'S.--SATtRnAr.

The rooms were opened to-day for the purpose of settling and
comparing: but both operations, owing to the absent e of many
members, were only partially carried out. The betting on the
Goodwood events was almost a counterpart of that which took
place at the clubs earlier in the day, and therefore does not call
for any lengthened comment, the only noteworthy feature being
the backing of Forester and Slender by the owner, who took the
liberal price of 1.000 to 20 about his two animals coupled . the
same gentleman took 11.000 to £lOO about Settee, " with a start."
For the Goodwood Cup Tourmalin was decidedly first favourite
at 5 too, while The Duke was moderately supported at 4to 1. For
the Stewards' Cups to 1 was offered on the field, but speculation
in connexion with this event proved a dead letter. The odds of
15 to 1 were offered on the field for the Derby. and Hermit was
backed at 500 to 25. The quotations are as follows :

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MAY 2.

On the 27th ult. the Prussian government ad-
dressed a circular note to the German governments,
declaring that the essence of the Prussian proposals
for reform, made on the 9th of April, eras that
a period should be fixed for the assembling of a
German parliament before the different govern-
ments entered upon a discumion of the reform
propositions.
Prussia, will consider the rejection of this point
by the different governments of Germany as a
virtual refusal seriously to entertain the question
of reforming the federal constitution.

for the Colonies whether he had received intelligence of
proceedings in both houses of legislature of Nova Scotia
favourable to the confederation of the North American pro-

Mr. CARDWELL said the government had received a
letter from her Majesty's consul at New York, in which he
'tatted that a communication had been made to him by Sir
Yenwick Williams, Governor of Nova Scotia, saying that a
resolution approving of the confederation had been passed
by both houses—in the upper house by a majority of 8,
and in the lower, 11. (Hear, hear.)

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. CHEETHAN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if the government would tuspend the
operation of Part I. of the Cattle Diseases Prevention
Act, relating to the slaughtering of animals and compen-
sation for the same after the 10th of May.
Sir G. GREY replied that originally it was intended
these clauses should only remain in operation for a certain
time. The Privy Council had not couaidered the question
of extension, but from information which had reached the
government from different parts of the country it appeared
that great advantage had been derived from the operation
of these clauses, and that the diminution of the cattle dis-
ease had been in a great measure attributed to them. He
therefore believed en order would be made to continue
them in force. (Hear, hear.)
