Mr. HADFIELD charged the noble Lord with inconsistency

a measure containing Church Rates, while
his name stood on a Bill for their abolition. He could not
agree to pledge the House to the principle that Churches
should be perinanently endowed, and he therefore moved as
an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day
six months.

Mr. A. Pax,rArr seconded the amendment.
Sir G. GREY said the principle of the bill was tO provide
for the sub-division of large and populous parishes. Nv-

stated his intention of proposing, if his measure passed
its present stage, that it be referred to a select commit-

Government would not oppose that course.
After a brief discussion, the amendment was withdrawn,
and the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
referred to a select committee.

Sir G. GREY then moved that the bill be nCftv read si

Mr. HADFIELD moved an amendment that it ho post

ti ins bad not yet time to consider the bill, and the Town
Council of Shetteld would meet and come to a resolution on

r G. CiREY said that if any good and, substantial
ms were shown for the postmonement of the second

rt.:suing for a rortnipt, tie had no cause for opposition, but
at present he had , heard none. The hon. member for
Sheffield had himself admitted that 35 Town Councils had
been in time to consider the measure, and to express their
determination to oppose it, and a number of petitions had
been presented that day from Corporations on the subject.
If the bill were now read a second time, he should not
propose to take the committee before Friday fortnight.
Mr. HENLEY supported the motion for postponement;
observing that he had not himself had time b give a fair
consideration to the measure.
Sir P. BARING hoped that the right hon. Bart. would con-
sent to postpone the measure after the declaration that one
of the leading members on the other side of the House bad
not had time to consider it. What, he asked, was the use
of introducing measures early in the session, if they were to
' ressed on as fast as towards the close of the session ?
PALMER also supported the motion for postpone.

Sir J. WALUiLEY, hi speaking to the same effect, ob•
served that the 35 corporations referred to by. the member
for Sheffield had not had time to consider the question and
Mr. Hadfield had received letters from the town-clerks,
stating that they had not had time to call th 3 town councils
together.

After some remarks from Mr. PArKE,
Sir G. GREY assented to Mr. HADFIELD
and the motion'fbr the second reading w

notion for going into committee on the Joint
Bank (Scotland) bill,
fr. F. SCOTT asked for the postponement of this stage
of the measure for a short time.

- Mr.. WILSON said the bill, with the exc,ption of some
mere verbal differences, was the same as the one that
passed that House last Session, and he did not see any
reason for postponement.
The House then went into committee, and the Bill was
reported without amendmen ts.
The House adjourned at 3 o'clock.

General Martimprey has left Paris for the Crimea, to

Advices from Metamoras, of the 9th ultimo, state that th
opposition of the clergy, through their bishops, to the late
law for regulating the administration of jestice, was likely
to produce very serious trouble. The Bishop of Monterey
had issued a strong protest. The President was evidently
puzzled as to what to do.

CORN TRADE.—The agents of corn speculators in Rigs
and St. Petersburg have been very busy of late in Ham-
l'urg with their offers of grain for delivery in the spring
at very low prices ; but it is observed that- they decline
to agree to the conditions stipulated for by would-be
buyers, viz. :—that should the blockade of the Russian
harbours be renewed before the period of delivery comes
round (and consequently the delivery be prevented), the
contract is to become void and null. It is evident that
the hope of the delivery'being prevented by the act of the
Emperor's enemies, forms an ingredient in the calculation
of the low price asked.

A FEMALE RECRUIT.—OR Friday a young woman, about
17 years of age, enlisted into the 97th Regiment, a recruit•
ing party of which corps is stationed at Windsor. Although►
she slept that evening in a room where there were several
beds occupied by men, her sex was not discovered until neit
morning. when being taken before the medical officer for
examination, and ordered to strip, as is usual on suoh occa-
sions, she was obliged to confess that she was a woman..
She was then taken before the magistrates, charged with
obtaining money under false pretences, and remanded. It
is said that she enlisted in order to he enabled to join her
sweetheart, who is in a cavalry regiment in the Crimea. 'A
subscription has been commenced for her in Windsor.

THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.-It is credibly
reported that the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament
has got itself into a sad serape. - Of course no one is to
blame; no one ever is to blame when government affairs
get into a scrape. But it seems that, by reason (it may
be supposed) of its adhesion to departmental routine and
its extreme aversion to any hints from unofficial quaifers,
this systematic clock tower has built itself up. like George
the Third's dumpling, so that there is no knowing holy
the apple is to get in. It has long slits of windows, each
measuring thirty-seven feet nine inches high by about
fourteen and a-half inches wide ; and these, to all exter-
nal observation, are the only orifices through which the
clock. to measure about forty-five feet or so cubic, and its
bob major bells, to weigh from thirty tons or so down-
wards, are to beinsirmated into the interior of the tower.

DESTRUCTION OT THE PAVILION THEATRE BY FIRE.—
Shortly after seven o'clock yesterday morning, a fire
broke out at the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel-road,
which resulted in the total destruction of that building.
The damage already done must, at a fair calculation,
exceed £20,000. A dense body of smoke was at first
seen to issue from the painting-room adjoining the
stage, by some men who raised an alarm. On proceed-
ing into the interior of the theatre, they discovered the
flames extending across the stage, and whirling round
the pit, boxes, and gallery,andinshfloarmtlyes. afterlw,he ardens,gitnhees
entire body of the theatre was
of the London Fire Brigade were shortly on the spot.
Vast streams of water were poured on the blazing pile,
but in spite of the most tremendous exertions the flames
spread with great fury, and the scene was one of fearful
grandeur. Mrs. Connorton, the proprietress of the
building, was insured for machinery, wardrobe, and the
theatre, in the Phoenix and Monarch fire offices. Messrs.
Elphinstone and Neale, the present lessees, who have
lost a vast quantity of property by the disastrous event,
were not insured for a single penny. As to the origin
of the misfortune nothing that could be depended upon
could be ascertained. The previous night, a piece called
the " Red Cow" was performed, which terminated with
the burning of the Robin Hood Tavern, and it is not at
all unlikely that some of the burning embers have
remained smouldering during the night.
