41'0ulICILL11'10RE objected to any legislation
i While a commission was engaged
in

procuring evidence and making inquiries upon which
legislation might be safely founded. This was his prin-
cipal objection ; but he could not on other grounds con.
sent to give his support to the proposed measure.
Mr. MOWBRAY said, hero was a bill to which both
sides of the house dissented, more or less. Its provisions
had been considered by the Government ; in fact, it was
clear thatthe Government entertained some objections to
it. flow, then, could the house consent to allow the
second reading to pass t For his own part lie thought
the bill had been much improved, but he did not think
that the hon. gentleman who had supported it on the
principle that something ought to be done would
go so far as to say that all episcopal and capitular
property should be administered upon a system of cen-
tralisation. He thought it was quite un-Parliamentary,
knowing that they could not act upon their vote of to-
day for at least three months, during which time other
and better measures might be introduced, to pledge them-
selves to the principle involved in this bill ; and so far
as he was concerned he should vote against the second

reading.
Lord R. GROSVENOR advocated the second read-
ing of the bill. After the house had affirmed the prin-
ciple of the bill in a former oration ; and, after the at-
tention bestowed upon the subject by his noble frici.d
(die Marquis of Blandford),R-nd the number of times
he had brought it forward before the house, he thought
the house ought to agree to the second reading of the
bill. He at all events trusted that the house would not
stultify itself in the course it might adopt.
Mr. A. PELLATT having offered a few observations
in favour of the necessity for legislation on this subject,
Mr. BARROW and Mr. MI ALL spoke against the se-
cond reading.
Sir J. DUCKWORTH explained briefly the grounds
on which he should vote for an adjournment.
The house then divided on the question of the ad-
journment of the debate, when the numbers were
Ayes
Noes lO2
Majority --31
The motion was consequently lost.
Mr. UADFIELD, amidst loud cries of divide, divide,
and some interruption, said he should move the adjourn-
meet of the house unless he could have a fair hearing.
The hon. gentleman then proceeded to reply to some ob-
servations which had fallen from the hon. member for
Liverpool, which he considered were of a personal
nature. _ _ _ _

The house then divided on the motion that the bill be
read a second time. The numbers were—
Ayes

The motion was consequently carried.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on the 23d May.
SPIRITS (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
Mr. J. V. SCULLY, at the request of the Govern-
ment, postponed the second reading of this bill for a
fortnight.
TENANTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL.
Sergeant SHEE also postponed the second reading of
this bill until the 14th April.
INTRAMURAL BURIALS (IRELAND) BILL.
The second reading of this bill was also ordered to
stand over.

COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL.
This bill was read a third time arid passed.
UNION OF BENEFICES.

Mr. FRENVEN obtained leave to bring in a bill to
alter and amend the law in relation to thie subject.
ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE.
On the motion of Mr. BENTINCK that the namo of
Sir George Tyler be substituted for that of Sir G.
Cornewall Lewis on this committee.

Captain SCOBFLL briefly maintained the necessity
of a naval officer being upon the committee,
Mr. ROEBUCK explained the principle on which the
committee had been constituted, namely, that the Go-
vernment should nominate six members, and that he
himself should name seven, making a total of thirteen
members. Now, as the right hon. gentleman (Sit
G. C. Lewis), who was amongst those chosen, had
ceased to be a member of the house, and consequently
of the committee, he (Mr. Roebuck) was anxious
to give the Government the opportunity of naming the
other hon. member, in order to preserve the balance of
the committee. The hon. gentleman after combating the
idea that it was absolutely essential to have a naval
officer in the committee, said he should oppose the
motion.
After a short discussion, _ _ _

The house divided on the question, when the numbers
were—
Ayes

Majority --13
The motion wag consequently lost.
Mr. ROEBUCK then proposed that the name of Sir
John Hanmer be added to the committee, but

There being some objection manifested, and it being
now close upon six o'clock, the lion. gentleman post-
poned his motion until to-morrow.
The other motions of the day having been disposed
of, the house adjourned.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice \Vightman.)

TIIE MURDER IN FOLEY-PLACE. ,
Mr. Bodkin said he was instructed to make an appli-
cation to the court in the case of a person named Luigi
Baranelli, who was charged with murder, and also with
shooting with intent to murder, to postpone the trial to
the next session. The prisoner had been committed to
the gaol of Newgate by the coroner for Middlesex ; but
the Government thought it a proper case for them to
prosecute, and they had instructed the Treasury solicitor
to take the necessary steps for that purpose. The pri-
soner had been taken before a magistrate, and he was
at present remanded beyond the time the present session
was likely to last ; and as ono of the witnesses, whose
evidence was most material, was very ill and unable to
attend and give evidence, he, upon this ground, re-
quested that the trial might be postponed.
Mr. Justice Wightnan at once granted the applica-
tion.

MARKET NEWS-(TlliS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market. There was more disposition shown on
the part of the millers to purchase most kinds, and Mon-
day's prices wore well supported.
Nearly all descriptions of foreign wheat moved off slowly,
yet we have no change to notice in their value.
The barley trade was very dull, at late rates ; whilst
malt was much neglected.
The oat trade was tolerably firm ; but beans and peas
were very dull.
The nominal top price of flour is now 70s. per 280 lb.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

In our last we announced that the Liverpool Spring
Meeting had been postponed till Friday, the 2d proximo.
Since then, however, it has been further postponed till
Wednesday, the 7th. There are parties who find fault
with the latter, and say the laws of betting have had
something to do with the arrangement ; at all events,
the frost cannot be said to have been the cause of the
latter alteration. Since the announcement no betting
has taken place on the event here. There has been Ito
change since our last, except a further improvement in
St. Hubert for the 2,000, and a greater decline in Lord
of the Isles. The following figures show the latest
betting :
