reply, and leave the people to suppose that it was un-
answered and unanswerable. The course, however, pur-
sued by the Colonial Secretary was widely different—it
was manly and straightforward, and it must be gratifying
to the House and the country to know that it would de-
feat the purpose of those who bad been instrumental in
bringing the subject before Parliament. No practical
good could possibly result from the adoption of this reso-
lution, but the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted it to pass, to
print his Bill and send it out to the colonies. That might
he the avowed object, bat it was not the real motive
for
this movement. The fact was, there was a party in the
Church who wanted to establish a tyrannical system in
the colonies, in the hope that they might be afterwards
enabled to introduce it at home. Their real object was
to destroy the free spirit and pure simplicity of the Church,
for the purpose of substituting in its place. a new-fangled

its
guard and prevent this.
The Right Hon. Gentleman bad said that the bishops of
the colonies has been deterred from meeting together to
settle their own affairs,for fear of penal consequences. Of
course the Right Hon. Gentleman believed what he said,
but ho (Mr. Horsman) would take the liberty of disbe-
lieving it altogether. The bishops bad already met in
synod, as ieverybody in the colonies knew. Who was
to prosecute them for so doing, or under whae
law were they to be prosecuted? He certainly
objected to this Bill, and protested against
its being transmitted to the colonies in its present shape.
Considering the dangers and difficulties which now sur-
rounded the Church, any legislation for the distant colo-
nies ought to be attended with great care and caution.
He thought this was a proposition most dangerous and
absurd,
dagnivedhn, he hoped that when the Government came
next year to redeem the pledge, which he understood
they
to legislate on this subject, they would
do so on principles clear, defined, and intelligible.
Sir W. P. WOOD regretted that the Hon. Member
for Cockermouth should invariably impeach the motives
of any Hon. Member who might chance to differ from
him in any opinion, and impute to him sinister and dis-
honest reasons for such differences.—(Hear, hear.) The
other day it was himself (Sir W. P. Wood) who had been
impugned with reference to the view which he had taken
of the state of the law on another subject, and
to-day it was the Right Honourable Gentleman the
Member for the University of Oxford. The Honour-
able Gentleman said that this Bill had a concealed
motive—that its real objeet was to establish an eccle-
siastical tyranny in the colonies. Certainly, if it had
such a concealed motive, he had never seen any motive
so well and dexterously concealed. (Hear, hear.)
It was a very odd way of establishing an ecclesiastical
tyranny to seek to give the laity a greater power
and a larger share of legislation in church matters
than was possessed by the laity of this country.
The Hon. Gentleman said that some of the bishops in
the colonies had done mischief there, but he (Sir W. P.
Wood) thought that it was but necessary to refer to the
progress of the Church in the distant colonies to show
that the bishops had done great good. Many of them
had been sent to a heathen population, or to a convict
population standing in need of religious education even
more than heathens.• Within the last fifteen years the
number of clergy employed under the colonial bishops had
increased threefold, from 500 to 1,600, and in the Cape of
Good Hope they had increase sixfold. IThe power which
the Church in the colonies wanted, and which he thought
would be conferred by some Bill of this sort, was to
show the force, energy, and vitality which it possessed
when duly organized. In effecting this object, he hoped
the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would join, hying
aside his prejudices for once, and endeavour to aid the
cause of Christian truth by adhering to Christian charity.
Mr. BUTT strongly objected to this Bill, to the intro-
duction of which he was only induced to consent by
the implicit confidence which he placed in the Right Hon.
Baronet the Secretary for the Colonies.

Mr. GLADSTONE wished to say a few words on a
personal matter. For the first time in his public life he
had felt greatly grieve&by the tone which the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies had adopted in
his speech on the second reading of the former Bill.
The language, however, which the Right Hon. Gentle-
man had used to-day had convinced him (Mr. Gladstone)
that the expressions he then used lay within the fair
limits of debate; and he wished spontaneously to say
that ho entirely withdrew anything which he might have
said when labouring under his first impression, and re-
gretted ever having used them.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he most cordially accepted
the Right Hon. Gentleman's apology.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the Chiirman
being directed to move for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the laws relating to the Colonial Church, the
House resumed, and leave was given to bring in the Bill.

ItIETROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL.
The House then went into Committee on this Bill,
commencing with clause 38.
The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed a clause exempting
from taxation horses and carriages kept for funeral pur-
poses only.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
apprehended it was impossible to move a clause of this
nature in Committee on this Bill. It would be neces-
sary to go into a Committee of the whole House, and
move a special resolution with regard to this parti-
cular tax.
The amendment was then withdrawn.

Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved a clause providing
compensation for the owners of burial grounds which
might be closed by the operation of this Bill.
The CHAIRMAN said the same objection would ap-
ply to this clause as had been urged against the clause
of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. If the compensation
were to come out of the Consolidated Fund, a prelimi-
nary resolution would be necessary. _

After a brief discussion the clause was added to the
Bill. The preamble was afterwards agreed to, and the
House resumed.

The report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (AMEND,

On tho motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Sir GEORGE PECHELL suggested that certain
alterations should be made in the Bill with reference to
the town of Brighton.
After a few words from Lord J. MANNERS,
The House went into Committee.
Sir GEORGE PECHELL moved the omission of
clause 5, which related to Brighton.
The motion was agreed to.
All the other clauses were agreed to, and the House
resumed.

The report was ordered to be received to-morrow.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,

Mr. PETO called the attention of the House to the
proceedings of the late Board of Sewers, of which he
was; a member, having been appointed with his Hon.
Friend the Member for Whitby by the late Government.
At the period of their appointment an understanding
was come to with the Government relative to the com-
pletion of a sewer survey, and ultimately such a survey
was accomplished to the satisfaction of all parties. It
was now found, however, that the Board had no
power to borrow money, and the works which had been
planned out by the Board were suddenly brought to a
close. The Board had arranged to borrow a large sum
of money, the repayment to be spread over a period of
thirty years, but the late Government would
render the Board no assistance, and the majority
of the members, including himself, were ultimately
hawelled to resign, an erroneous impression
tem ,g prevailed that the Commissioners had n-
thetaated using the Thames f m

the sewerage; but the: Board, he could assure

new matters had come to light, and it might hereafter
tarn out that the native Prince referred to in his motion
was not quite undeserving the commiseration of the
House. It was some time since a Noble Earl had
moved for a portion of these papers in another place;
but the papers produced were only part of those which
Ihe now called for. The papers had not been returned
to the secret department of the Indian Board, but to the
East India Company, and there could be no difficulty in
producing the documents which he asked for. The
Noble Lord then proceeded to reeal to the recollection
of the House the incidents and results of the campaign
in Sinde, which began in 1838, and terminated
In 1842. In 1841 Sir Charles Napier came upon the
Snide scene, and immediately concluded an alliance with
Ali Morad, which a alarmed Meer Koostun that he
threw himself upon fhe mercy of the British General.
The British,General, however, instead of rendering him
assistance, referred him to his brother, to Ali
Morad, and in the end Meer Koostun was
forced to take refuge in Lower Sinde. Here the people,
indignant at the treacherous treatment he had received
from his unnatural brother, espoused his cause, and
a terrible battle ensued between them and the
British forces. The natives were defeated, and
then it transpired that Ali Morad, through
the instrumentality of a forged alteration, which
he had introduced into a treaty, had secured property
which belonged by conquest to the British Gorernment.
A Commission was then appointed to investigate this
charge, which was made at the instance of Meer Koos-
tun, and the forgery was proved. It was also
established that the charges which had been preferred
against Meer Koostun of conspiring, with the Court of
Lahore, against the British Government, were wholly
without foundation, and the evidence upon which they
were attempted to be supported to be pure fabrication.
Subsequent events, and after discoveries, had only
tended to confirm the innocence of Meer Koostun,
and it was only an act of justice to that unfortunate
prince that he now asked for the production of these
papers, which would redound alike to the honour of the
British Government es to the credit of the victims of the
abominable and unfounded charges which he had just
been adverting to. In 1842 the opinion of the Governor-
General was entirely in favour of the unfortunate Meer
Koostun. But a few years later that unfortunate prince
had been a homeless wanderer. He (Lord Jocelyn) had
received innumerable letters from officers who had long
resided in Sinde, testifying to the high character of
these unfortunate princes. The position of the
Ameers since the acquisition of the Sindian
territory has been wretched in the extreme,
some of them even bad been reduced to
actual distress. The wives of these princes had remained
at Hyderabad, where they lived in a hovel without even
a mat on the floor, and scarcely protected from the
weather. This was one of the most painful stories con-
nected with the British rule in India. It was a story
known throughout Central Asia, and it had even pene-
trated into Africa. It was a question involving the ho-
nour of the British name, and which therefore required
the utmost attention. In behalf of the exiled Ameers of
Sinde he asked for the consideration and sympathy of
the House.
Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he felt it to be an
honour and pleasure to second the motion of his lion.
Friend. The treatment of the inhabitants of Sinde was
the most strking instance of tyrannical oppression re-
corded in the page of history. He hoped that the House
would attend to the suggestions of his Hon. Friend.
Mr. BAILLIE considered that the speech of the Noble
Lord bad very little reference to the motion which he
had submitted to the House. He was surprised that the
Noble Lord should now rake up this old question with
regard to our Indian pclicy of 1848. If blame
attached to any one it was to the Government which
sanctioned the acts of which the Noble Lord complained,
and of which he was, notwithstanding, a member.
Six o'clock having arrived, the discussion was ad-
journed till to-morrow.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Advices by the Cambria
inform us that there was a giving way in cotton of ie.
per lb. at New York, on the 6th must, after the Great
Britain had left that port; but that the market recovered
its tone in some degree, partially rising 4c. on the re-
ceipt of letters to the 25th tilt. from Liverpool, yet clos-
ing heavily, with a very small amount of operations.
The southern markets continue dull. The accounts of
the growing crop were no less favourable than before.
These advises had a somewhat unfavourable effect yester-
day upon the Liverpool market, which was spiritless, the
sales being only 4,000 to 5,000 bales, with a slight incli-
nation in prices against sellers. It seemed probable, at
the opening of our own market this morning, that we
should have not only a flat day, but rather lower prices.
This was the general impression ; but though there cer-
tainly has been an inanimate state of things, we have not
had anything like depression. Rather lower prices have
been offered for yarns ; and spinners have in many
instances divided the difference with the buyers, whilst
in many other instances they have refused to give way
at all. The concession is small and not generally made.
The sales have been of limited extent. In the goods
department, the better qualities of 7-8 and 9.8 printers
are in rather increased request,
and still inclining to
harden in price. Domestics appear to be slowly coming
more into demand, but the very small advance latterly
contended for is no less than before a bone of contention.
Some purchases of the lower qualities of shirtings for
India have been made to-day; the better sorts, however,
but little inquired after.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a brisk demand
for pieces, at former prices; and those manufacturers
who were willing to submit to this had no difficulty in
parting with their goods. The wool market is im-
proving, both in price and demand.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have had a very flat
market to-day, and scarcely anything has been done
either in plain or fancy goods. The yarn market is
languid, and the spinners have established a alight ad-
vance, though not equal to the increased cost of the raw
material. The transactions in wool are pretty nu-
merous, but not so much so as they would be if the
stocks in the market were larger; and the staplers are
obtaining rather better prices.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—MOTO business has been
done in the cloth hall to-day than last week, principally
in the lower class of goods. Trade has been flat in the
warehouses during the week, and not much has been
doing to-day. Very few buyers having been in the town,
those that have have bought direct from the cloth hall.

FRANCE.

Viscount Edouard Walsh, a Legitimist, has writ-
ten to the newspapers from Vienna to state that he
has declined to receive the sum of 22,000 f. awarded
to him by the Directeur des Beaux Arts, for the re-
storation of his chateau of Chaumont, on the banks of
the Loire, which is considered an historical monu-
ment. His reason is, be states, that his acceptance of
the money was malevolently misrepresented in a
political point of view; and that he is anxious to prove
that he has not ceased to be devoted to the principles
he has defended all his life. _ _

A telegraphic dispatch from Constantine, of the
13th, addressed to the Governor-General of Algeria,
announces that the insurrection of the Haractas has
been put down. The principal part of the insurgents
had come and pitched their tents near the French
troops, having sent delegates to ask for the Aman.
General d'Autemarre, who has taken the command of
all the forces in the east, is to regulate this affair on
the spot. Communications have been re-established
with Tebessa. The revolted tribes in the vicinity
of Guelma are divided, and uncertain as to the
conduct they ought to follow. Colonel de Tourville,
commander of the subdivision of Bona, was to enter
the country of the Ouled Dhan on the 13th. Their
insurrectional movement appears to have been caused
by the secret schemes of the Mussulman religious
associations. It began in the environs of La Calle,
and has been propagated by the excitations of the
Charif of Ouargla. The Tanger, which left Bona on
the 12th, at eight o'clock in the evening, and touched
at Collo on the 13th, conveyed to` Algiers the news
that the situation of affairs had improved in the sub-
division of Bona.

VENEZUELAN BOND HOLDERS.
The Venezuela bondholders will feel disappointed, we
apprehend, at the supineness of the Legislature atCarac-
efts in not adopting the agreement made by theirGovern-
meat with Mr. Lord, but, on the other hand, they may
be gratified to learn by the correspondence annexed
that the Finance Minister is likely to use proper exer-
tion to meet all engagements. The mistake which Mr.
Lord points out in respect to provision being made twice
over for the same dividend is a singular example of
loose account keeping, that we should imagine to be pe-
culiar to Spanish American States
The following is from Mr. Lord's letter, dated " La
Guayra, 25th and 26th of May, 1852," received by the
Committee in London:—
"To the foregoing duplicate of my respects of 10th
inst., I now beg leave to add that the Extraordinary Ses-
sion of Congress closed ou Sunday, the 23d, without the
least notice having been taken of the agreement since
the sth of April, the day on which the Chamber of Re-
presentatives postponed the further consideration of it
for four days; and thus it remains, neither approved nor
disapproved, to abide the course of events between this
and the Congress of next year! Meantime in the law
of ways and means' for the ensuing financial year, com-
mencing on the Ist of July next, there appears this
item—' For the payment of the dividends on the Foreign
Debt 700,000 dolls.'
" The project of law, as sanctioned bytthe Lower
Chamber, provided as fellows :—For the current inte-
rest on the Active Debt at 3} per cent., and for interest
on the Deferred at 1 per cent., the sum of 495,554 24.;
on account of arrear dividends 200,000; and it was al-
tered as above in the Senate. The former of the just
mnntioned sums was composed of interest on Active
Debt, at 31 per cent., 64,048,161., at 61 dolls.--7---400,305
dolls.; ditto on Deferred at 1 per cent., 15,2391. 175.3 d.;
ditto ditto=--95,249,26—t0tal dolls. 495,554,26.
But as the latter commeoces from Ist Ootober, 1852,
clear it is that the half-year's interest due on Ist April,
1853, should alone find place in the ensuing financial
year.
" I intend shortly passing another note to the Bliniater,
simply 19 state that, under exiSing oircunistpueot

shall not again trouble him with my remonstrances,
until I receive fresh instructions from the Committee so
to do.
" On the 22d Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co. were
named by the Executive Fiscal Agents of Venezuela in
London.
yesterday afternoon (26th May) I received a
note Late
from the Minister, dated the 21st, of which I beg
to enclose a copy.
" The dividend of April, 1847, was duly paid by
Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., and yet the Minister
again includes it for payment in his order to Messrs.
Frederick Bath and Co. It was to obviate, 63 I
thought I should do, the possibility of any mistake of
this sort, that I furnished the Minister in May of last
year with full particulars of the debt (vide my letter of
24th May, 1851, to the Committee), but it seems no at-
tention whatever has been paid to my information.

ter's letter addressed to Baron de Goldemid and the

" Caracas, 21st May, 1852.
" Gentlemen,—The Honourable Chambers not having
been able to determine anything with regard to the
agreement entered into by this Ministerial department
with Mr. Lord in September last, matters remain in the

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JUNE 22. _

We continue to be scantily supplied with wheat at market ;
what sales were made were at prices fully a shilling above last
week's rates, and a firmness prevailed easily accounted for by
the continued wet weather experienced; indeed, if injury has
not already been sustained by any other crop than beans, should
the wet continue, it must reduce both the quality and quantity
of the wheat crop.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states : The
weather has been broken during the past week, and some
amount of rain has fallen—rather more than was required—
and this having been general throughout the kingdom, more
firmness has been imparted to the trade, and some advance ob-
tained upon wheat. The present law range of prices, the short
imports, and moderate state of stocks, makes us very suscep-
tide to improvement at this critical season. We had for this
day's market a moderate show of wheat from our farmers, but
very little foreign. The former was ready sale at fully is per
quarter over the rates current last Tuesday, and no great dis-
position on the part of farmers (who are chiefly of a class well
able to hold) to sell at the advance. More looking after foreign
wheat, but only a retail business resulted; granaried parcels
being held on higher terms than the consuming market will
admit being paid. There is a consumptive sale for barley at
our quotations. Beans are Is per quarter dearer. Peas in-
quired for. Oats are neglected. A very limited business
passing in linseed ; fine qualities are scarce - several of the mills
continue closed. Linseed cakes dull, and to be bought on
easier terms. Rape cakes are the turn lower.

LtvEnroot., JUNE 22.—The market this morning was well
attended by buyers. Wheat was in good request for consump-
tion, and all fresh qualities of white and red commanded an ad-
vance of fully Id per bushel over the price of this day se'nnight.
American Flour was not any dearer, but it is moving pretty ea-
tensively into the hands of our bakers. Indian corn has de-
clined fully Is 3d per quarter on the week. Oats slightly
easier in price, but in fair demand. Egyptian Leans were 6d
to 9d per quarter higher, and not many offering. Oatmeal,
barley, and peas, were without change of value. The weather
continues cold and unpromising.

DEVON AND CORNWALL MINERS' GOLD COMPANY.
—Yesterday a general meeting of shareholders in this com ;
-
pany took place at the offices in Clement's-lane, City
Samuel Weatherley, Esq., in the chair. A resolution was
submitted for the purpose of amalgamating thisafter with the
London and Sydney Gold Company, wh leading
to some discussion, was adopted unanimously. A vote of
thanks was also passed to the chairman and directors for
bringing about the amalgamation with the London and
Sydney Gold Company. The meeting then adjourned.

pair, and it was condemned. Amongst the men there
appeared to be a person named Manuel Pereira, a co-
loured seaman, who, strictly speaking, was a Portuguese,
and not a British subject. He was so far a British sub- ,
ject, however, that he was an articled seaman of a Bri-
tish ship. In conformity with the law of Smith Carolina
it appeared that for some imputed offence he was taken
out of the ship and lodged in the common gaol of the
town. It was said that this seaman applied to the Por-
tuguese consul, but that no notice was taken of the ap-
plication. Shortly afterwards the master of the vessel
left Charlestown, suffering Manuel Pereira to remain in
prison. Mr. Mathew, her Majesty's consul at Charles-
town, had distinct orders what to do in such cases, and it
became a question whether he should appeal to the
United States District Court, or to the court of South Ca-
rolina. In the end it was decided that application on the
subject should be made to the court of South Carolina.
It then appeared that the judge refused the application
for a writ of habeas corpus, reserving such decisidn for
the upper court. The superior court was to meet in Co-
lumbia in May, and the latest accounts received by the
Government were dated the 28th of that month, by which
it appeared that the matter was still pending in the Court
of Appeal. The present question was not a novel one,
but it required very dulic ate handling. No subject led
to a greater diversity of feeling or difference of opinion,
than that which related to the mutual obligations affect-
ing the federal and provincial goaernecente. The most
energetic remonstrances had been addressed by the
Noble Lord the Mewber for Tiverton on this very sub-
ject; and he (Lord Stanley) believed that a relaxation
had taken place in the law in ono of the states of the
Union. He had also every reason to believe that in time
public opinion would procure the abrogation of laws
which, although they were carried out in ono of the most
intelligent countries of the world, were nevertheless a
disgrace and a ecandal to civilization.—(Har.)
Mr. M. MILNES asked whether he was to understand
that the Supreme Court of South Carolina had not post-
poned the hearing of the case?
Lord STANLEY repeated that the Government were
not in receipt of any later dispatch than the one of the
28th of May.
