THE REPORT ON THE CHURCH PROPERTY

BILL.

FLORENCE, Jtna 27, EVENING.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Ferraris presented the report of the com-
mittee upon the bill for levying an extraordinary
tax on the ecclesiastical property. The report is
fixed for discussion after the budget.
The following are the proposals of the committee :
—The unification and extension of the laws for the
suppression and conversion of all ecclesiastical pro-
perty excepting only such as may belong to the
parishes. An extraordinary tax of 30 per cent. is
to be levied on all the ecclesiastical property
converted. All landed property of the church
is to become the property of the state
and be managed and sold by provincial com-
missioners, who will be superintended by
a central commission. The duty of the latter will
also be to control the financial operation, to fix the
sale price of estates as well as to issue mortgage
bonds, specially guaranteed and redeemable
at par in 15 years. 'This operation is
to be continued until the advance of 400
million of lire on the value of these estates can be
obtained. In conclusion the report points out the
necessity that these financial operations should
be accompanied by the strictest economy, com-
bined with a reform of the system of public
accounts and of the collection of the taxes,
and with an improvement of the ordinary budget
by means of new taxes.

The Minister of the Interior, replying to a ques-
tion, said that he would take measures to prevent
an early prorogation of parliament. The Chamber
then passed to the discussion of the budget of the
Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and some of the de-
puties asked that reductions should be made in the
salaries of the diplomatic agents.
The Nazione of to-day states that Signor Ferrara
had tendered his resignation, and that Signor
Rattazi had assumed the portfolio of finance ad
interim,

The Gazette contradicts the rumour that General
Cialdini had tendered his resignation, but confirms
the fact that General La Marmora had resigned,
but that his resignation had not been accepted.

The prisoner, who had repeatedly interrupted with com-
ments and denials in the course of the interpretation, was
now called upon for his defence, and replied that he had
nothing to say.
Mr. Vaughan said the prisoner had behaved very badly;
but as till. was his first offence, he should only fine him
15a., or 10 days, instead of the full penalty of 405., or one
month.

The fine was paid, and the prisoner went away grinning

THE METROPOLITAN DISTRILT RAILWAY.-011
Wednesday afternoon the directors of the Metropolitan
Railwayand Extensions metat the ofiioes, Old Palace-yard,
at half-past three o'clock, for the purpose of inating the
works in progress upon the railway between Wes pectminster
and Paddington. Among those present were the Earl of
Devon (chairman of the Metropolitan District line), Mr.
Parsons (chaiiman of the Metropolitan), Lord Giort, Sir
H. D. Wolff, Colonel the Hon. W. P. Talbot, Messrs.
Worms, Nasmyth, and Scott, Mr. Myles Fenton (general
manager of the Metropolitan Railway), Messrs, Fowler,
Johnson, and Burchell. The handsome open station at
Victoria-street, Sloane-street, Gloucester-road, Notting-
hill, Kensington, and Bayswater, as wall as the whole of
the works upon the line, were found to be in a very forward
state, and as the contractors are using great exertions to
complete the line, it is expected that the railway between
Westminster and Paddington will, within a very short
time, be opened for public traffic.

before Mr. Vaughan with continuing to play his organ in
Creyboundmourt, Strand, after being requested to go
away for just and reasonable cause.
As the prisoner either could not or would not under-
stand what was said to him in English, the evidence was
tiplaillell to him by an interpreter.
A poor woman named Mary Anne Leigh, living in
Creyhoundmourt, stated that the prisoner was playing his
organ in front of the house in which she lives, when ohs
went out to him and asked him to go away, as her husband
was very sick and ill, and could not bear the noise. The
prisoner laughed in her face, clapped his hand', stamped
on the pavement, and made signs to her to turn the handle
herself. He then began playing again. Finding that ha
would pay no attention to her remonstrances, and being
afraid of the consequences to her husband, who had been
bedridden four years, and suffered much from any such

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.--(THIS DAY.)
The supply of English wheat so sale here to-clay was
very moderate, but in fair avenge condition. Although
the denisud was fur trom active, owing to the favourable
accounts at band from most pare of England in reference
to the growing crops, wheat being in full ear in some of the
western counties, Monday's prices were fairly supported.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. All kinds moved off slowly, at late
rates.

!'lusting cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not
quotably lower.
Toe dew samples of barley on the stands were taken off
slowly, hut at fell quotations.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at the late de•
cline in prices.
Good sound oats moved off freely, at full currencies, but
inferior parcels were very dull, at late rates.
Beans were quite as dear as on Monday, although the
business doing in them was very moderate.
The sale for peas was heavy, yet full prices were realised
for them.

The Hour trade was heavy, bat co quotable change took
place in value.

Seeds were inactive at late rates. In cakes very little
was passing.

that if rights are established by any debenture holder

The Mlielof Luiia says that increased acquaint-
ance with the details and mode of operation of Mr.
Massy's bill for imposing licenses on trades and
professions has only intensified the very general
dissatisfaction to which the first perusal of it gave
rise. " The more the measure is considered and
discussed," it adds, " the more unreasonable,
crude, and unfair does it appear. There are two
princip►l points of grievance in connexion with it,
viz., the utter want of discrimination displayed by
Mr. Malloy in the imposition of the tax, and the
hurried and almost clandestine way in which it was
introduced and hurried through the council. Nei-
ther are the outside public the only persons who
regard this peddling and nnstatesmanlike attempt
to tax incomes of ten shillings a week as a stupid
' blunder—precisely the same opinion was expressed
by two mercantile members of the council ; and we
now learn by telegram that the Bengal Chamber
of Commerce has determined to petition against
it."

A SCMIK IN COL RT.

flows Hopkins was summoned for acting in the Metro-
politan Cattle market as a drover, he not having • license,
and pleaded not guilty.
The evidence of William Hill, • constable appointed by
the market committee, was to the effect that the defen-
dant having been convicted of cruelty, the cor-
poration refused to renew his license as • drover,
so far back as 1864. Since that period the de-
fendant has been repeatedly summoned and fined
fur acting as • drover without a license or badge,
and on the last occasion was told that if he again offended
he would he mulcted in the full penalty. On the day in
question Hill saw the defendant driving three bullocks
in the market, and on asking him what he was about he
said that he was merely assisting another drover, but Hill,
knowing this to be untrue, spoke to the salesman who had
employed the defendant, and the salesman said that he
had employed him, but he was not aware but that the
defendant wks • licensed drover.

The defendant, who denied the charge, was ordered to
pay the full penalty of 44.11. and the costs, or in default one
month's imprisonment with hard labour in the House of
Correction.

As the defendant was being removed he was very obeti•
nate, made use of bad language, attempted to strike the
gaoler, and it was with difficulty that he could be removed
to the cells.

THE LUXEHBURG QUESTION.

BERLIN, APRIL 12.

The semi-official North German Gazette of to-day
contradicts the report of a Prussian note having
been addressed to the foreign courts relative to
Luxemburg, and says that Prussia had no reason
for taking such a step, as she entered into no nego-
tiations on this question. Prussia, it continues,
only instructed her representatives with regard to
the state of affairs, and directed them to request
the guaranteeing powers of the treaty of 1839 to
communicate their opinions on the subject. Nothing
has taken place beyond this.

LUXEMBURG, Aram 12.

In opposition to the proposed address to the
King of Holland soliciting the annexation of the
Grand Duchy to France, another address is circu-
lating here for signature praying his Majesty to
allow Luxemburg to remain in her present position.

PARIS, Aran. 12.

The France, in an article upon the Luxemburg
question, says :—" The Powers consulted relative
to the treaty of 1839 are endeavouring to remove,
if possible, from the pending difficulties that cha-
racter of gravity which may attach to them in con-
sequence of certain excessive claims and national
susceptibilities. The principal object of the com-
munications which have been exchanged is said to
be to discover a combination calculated to calm
the susceptibilities of France, and preserve Europe
from the eventualities of war."

BAVARIA.
MUNICH, APRIL 12.
The Chamber of Deputies presented an address
to the King this morning. Prince von Hohenlohe,
the President of the Council of Ministers, replied
on behalf of the King. He declared that Bavaria
would never recede from the duties imposed upon
her for the preservation of the national integrity
by the offensive and defensive treaty of alliance
concluded with Prussia, but that at the same time
the Bavarian Government would use its efforts for
the preservation of an honourable peace, which he
hoped the wisdom of the governments concerned
in the question of Luxemburg would succeed in
maintaining.

Juin Morris, a airman, in the service of Messrs. Sea-
ward and Co., carriers, of Cannon-street, City ; and
Edwin Plaits, a carman, out of employment, were charged
with stealing, and Mr. Corntlias Barham, • grocer, in
Drury-lane was charged with receiving, about 5 cwt. of
sugar, worth !id. per lb.
Mr. 1.. Lewis appeared for Beleham.
Police-sergeant Aekrill, of the F Division, stated—About
10 o'clock last night I was on duty in Drury-lane and suw
the prisoners Moths and Platte in a one horse van, closed
in front, Morris driving and Platte in the back of the van.
Belcham was standing at his own door looking out at them.
Pulling up at the door they jumped out of the van, hur-
ried round to the back, let down the tailboard, and
took out two sacks of sugar, which they car-
ried to the back of the shop, Beleham leading
then, to the place where they put them down. Morris
returned to the van and drove away. I waited a few
minuted, till Sergeant Matthews came up. He was in I
uniform. I was in private clothes. We went into the
shop, and I asked Belcham what this man (Matta) and the
other had brought in. lie said " Nothing." I told him
I was • police officer, and had been watching his shop for
some time. When he said they had brought nothing, I
said, " Yes, they have ; they have brought these two sacks
of sugar." He said, "Oh, well ; I did not think there was
anything wrong in that." I said, "If you did not think
there was anything wrong where is your invoice!" He re-
plied that he had not one. I said" Where has the sugarcome
from!" He lied, "Amancarneherethismorninganduked
me if I could- ' do' with • lot of sugar to-night." We took
Belch= and Platte into custody. After conveying them
to the station-house I went after Morris and overtook
him in Wych.street. He was walking by the aide of his
van. I took him in custody. In the van I found • large bent
piece of steel such as is used in drawing sugar out of the
barrel, and hogsheads. It had evidently been used for
very hard work.
Mr. Seaward, one of the firm, stated that Morris
had been employed in the morning to convey several
hogsheads and barrels of sugar from the West India Doak
to the retail dealers, and be should be able to prove that
when delivered they were short in weight.
The prisoners were remanded.

The oars of both boats dashed simultaneously into the
water, and the immediate effect was to show the nose of
the Oxford boat slightly to the front. In leas, however,
than a hundred yards Cambridge began evidently inch by
Inch to creep up. As they began to settle down to their
work Cambridge was rowing :w strokes in the minute to
Oxford's 3d, a proportion which was maintained nearly
throughout the race, except in some cases of those brilliant
spurt which are afterwards to be mentioned. Off the Leander
boathouse the light blues had obtained a lead of some
feet,lwhich they again yielded to Oxford as theyapproached
Craven Point. From here up to Rose Bank these relative posi-
tions remained without material alteration, though what
change there was appe►led to be slightly in favour of
Oxford, and before reaching the Crabtree they west
full a quarter of a length in advance. Mr. Tottenham,
who, up to this point of the race, cannot be commended
for having kept his boat too straight, now began to
bore upon his adversary, who, perhaps, too fearful of
the responsibility of a collision, allowed himself to be
driven entirely out of his course under the Surrey shore,
so that when both boats opened Hammersmith-bridge Mr.

THE IMCONMTRUCTION OF Tilt RAINER or PARLIAVENT.

The appointment of the committee last night, bears wit-
nese, the Tints remarks, that the patience of members is at
an end, and that the house is determined that the place
of meeting of the Commons shall be completely re-con-
structed. Of the House of Lords, with its elaborate
ornamentation, people may form various judgments; but
respecting the House of Commons, there can be but one
opinion—that it is one of the moat ill-proportioned,
mean-looking, and utterly hideous rooms that have
ever been built for a national purpose in any age.
The house is in every part on too small a scale.
As to the argument that a room cannot be oonstrocted in
which 6.58 men can bear a speaker, it is an insult to the
understanding of the public to repeat such an absurdity.

THE REFORX BILL DIFICUMRIoNN.

The definition of • dwelling-horse at which the commit-
tee arrived yesterday, after two hours' discussion, is to the
Times, absolutely meaningless. It says no more than that
• dwelling.house is • dwelling-house, and the question
must be settled either by the discretion of local overseers
or by ac inquiry on the part of the Court of Common
Plena, taking into consideration just those circumstances
it has been accustomed to review when engaged in such
questions. The Times hopes that when the committee re-
sumes its labour" to-morrow, the clause appointing the
Boundary Commission will no longer impede the progress
of the bill, and that the uncertainty which still hangs
over the final settlement of the redistribution clause will
be satisfactorily removed. If little was done yesterday,
the reason is probably to be found in the fact that the com-
mittee was really uninterested in the immediate business
before it, and the government, serious a■ they are to press
on the bill, will best secure their aim by a frank ►nd full
declaration of intention■ now carefully kept in obscurity.
Practically, says the Telegraph, the bill may now be
held to have entered its third stage ; for although there
will be a severe conflict on the schedules, the government
is understood to have conceded a third member to three
out of the five large towns named in Mr. Liing's amend-
ment, if not to all, and that concession will materially
limit the sharpness of the coming battle.

Anyone who knows what modern halls and theatres are
must be perfectly aware that there is no difficulty at all in
the matter. There should be ample room for everyone,
the consequence of which would be that in • faU house
every member would find • seat, those who desired to
speak coming to the front, while on onlinary occasions,
and in • thin house, members would naturally concentrate
themselves round the table. In either cave there need be
no difficulty in carrying on the business easily and con-
veniently. The question iv really very important, for it
cannot be doubted that measures are often obstructed, or
the sense of the house unfairly taken, through the physical
discomfort which members have to undergo if they would
keep at their post daring a long sitting.

Danirl .Varney, a ticketof-leave convict, was brought
before Mr. Ingham, for final examination, on a charge of
being concerned in committing a burglary at the house of
Lord George Paget, Queen•syuare, Westminster, and se-
veral robberies.

Sergeant Meiklejohn, who apprehended the prisoner,
called an additional witness to prove a case of burglary
against him committed at the house of Mr. Watson, ma-
nager of the London Gas Works in Nine Elms, in February
last. _ _

Emily Badger was then sworn, and stated that in Fe-
bruary last she had been making some children's frocks
for Mrs. Holloway (Marney's sister-in-law), and as she was
leaving the prisoner asked her whether she knew which
was the " bloke's" house. She asked him what he meant,
when be replied, "The master's house; is it that with
the pillars?" Witness said, "Yes, I think it is." He
then asked her whether she knew where they kept the
stuff. She asked him what be meant. He replied, " The
money." She said, " Where they pay the money is at the
front gate." He then said, " Oh, because I am a thief,
and I mean doing the place over." She heard on the nest
morning that the house at the gas factory had been
broken into and robbed.
In answer to questions, the witness said her husband
worked at the gas factory at the time, and that Mr. Wat-
son was his master.

The prisoner questioned the witness alto the reason she
did not give information to the gas people, when her ex-
planation was, that she had no suspicion of his having
committed the burglary, as she did not think any more of
his conversation.

pied by the primmer and him wife, at No. 6, Cherwell-

speak in no immured terms of those who differ from them;
to characterise their ministrations as unauthorised, their
priests as pretenders, their members as subjects for
inevitable condemnation, or at beet for " =covenanted

enactment of penal laws, or leads a pasty of rioters to
" wreck " their chapels or chapel homes, and pillage the
