ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr. DILLWYN, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said he regretted that a large number of petitions had
been presented against his measure. He considered, how-
ever, they were based on a miiapprehens on of the measure,
and doubtless much of the abuse that had been heaped upon
him personally was attributable to the same cause. When
he placed his bill on the paper for to-day it did not occur to
him that the Oxford commemoration would then be under
celebration,and that a number of h in. members, especially the
two members for the University, would desire to be at
Oxford to meet th? Prince and Princess of Wales. Though
at the time he declined to postpone his bill, he begged now
to move that the order for the second reading be discharged,
as he saw no probability of pressing the bill to ite ultimate
stages this session. He NN isteed to have the measure fully
and calmly discussed, and would be ready in the future to
introduce all reasonable amendments. He denied that his
measure could be construed into an attack on the national
Church. He was actuated by any earnest desire to remove
sessionall civilhe should re-introduce
disabilities
the
of religious opinions, Next

Mr. SELWYN, in seconding the motion, denied on his
part and those who acted with him in that house that any
attacks had been made on the hon. member for Swansea
(Mr. Dillwyn.) They had discussed the subject temperately
and courteously. The attacks he alluded to must have been
made out of doors.
Mr. DILLWYN admitted that this was so.

Mr. SELWYN trusted this was the last occasion on
which they would be asked to enter upon the discussion of a
measure of this kind, which had now been five years before
the house, and that instead of entering up unprofitable
discussions the hon. member would devote his experience
and time to rectify the wants of the population in regard to
the education and its spiritual need. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LO WE hoped they had heard the last of the bill. By
it if a Dissenter founded a school for Dissenters it would be
so used, but if the King of England established a school for
the education of those attached to the Church of England
his gift would be void. (Hear, hear.) He need state no
further, because this was a fatal objection to the bill.
These discussions created ill feeling between Dis-
senters and member of the Church of England.
Lord HENLEY hoped the hon. member would proceed
with his bill next year, because, at present, Government
injustice was inflicted upon conscientious Dissenters in con-
nection with their Endowed Schools.

Mr. FORSTER considered that the bill would simply
uphold that spirit of civil and religious liberty, which for
many years had been the bent of the legislation. He
blamed the Government for their conduct on the bill.
Mr. HADFIELD approved of the bill, because it would
remove a piece of spiritual intolerance of the most objec-
tionable nature.

The order for the second reading was then discharged.
NAVY PRIZE MONEY.

Sir J. HAY moved the second reading of this bill.

Lord C. PAGET said the Government had a Consolida-
tion Bill in preparation which would be introduced early
next session.

After a short discussion, in which Mr. Hardy, Mr. Col-
lier, and Mr. Selwyn took part,
Mr. STANSFELD said be trusted the hon. bart. would
withdraw his bill after the pledge of his noble friend
that a ,consolidatiox bill of the most complete and compre-
hensive nature would be introduced very early next sessien.
,Ultimately the bill was read a second time.
ELECTION PETITIONS BILL.

Mr. HUNT moved that the Speaker leave the chair.
Sir F. GOLDSMID hoped the bill Reuld not be pro-
ceeded with, as it would tend to encourage bribery and
corruption by discouraging bona fide petitioners.
Mr. ADDERLEY considered that the bill ought to be
proceeded with.
Mr. K. HUGGESON supported the measure, citing
his election experiences in support of immediate legislation
on the subject. A committee should examine petitions as
soon as presented, and decide like a grand jury whether
or no they should remit it for further investigation.

(LEFT SITTING.)

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 16.—The yarn market today
has been decidedly more cheerful, and there has
been a good inquiry, more particularly for the
markets of the Levant, of Italy, anctfor tsie home
trade. On the whole only a limited business has
been transacted. Prices are very firm. There has
been no business of any moment doing for India,
and there is no change in this branch of the market
either as to prices or demand, since Friday. The
buyers for Germany are particularly quiet. In the
cloth market there is also a better feeling than
there was last week, but there is no change to
quote in prices. Buyers still keep aloof, and ma-
nufacturers do not manifest much anxiety to sell.
The sort of panic feeling which seized the market
last week seems to have passed away. Many of
our spinners and manufacturers are now well
engaged to order; but the check to business
which has recently taken place is preventing
others who had felt disposed from resuming
work, and the number of mills altogether closed is
still large. The singular fact still remains that
while so many mills are idle, and while hundreds of
thousands of operatives are unemployed, little at-
tention has yet been directed to practical efforts to
permanently increase the supply of cotton. Nearly
two millions sterling has been raised by subscrip-
tion and other means to relieve the destitution
of the unemployed, and yet through the cotton
companies and other agencies for growing cotton
(the only perfect remedy for the distress) compara-
tively little has been done. The total paid-np
capital which has been embarked in these schemes,
profitable as they promise to be, does not
reach £200,000, and yet the House of Commons,
was told in 1861, on good authority, that the
average profit on works of irrigation alone in
India (so necessary in undertakings connected
with cotton-growing) is 69i per cent.
LEEDS, June 15.—The woollen cloth markets to-
day have been much the same as those of last Tues-
day; but, withal, a little more business has been
done. The parcels generally mage up were of a
miscellaneous character, and they included a fair
portion of ordinary broadcloths and heavy fabrics
for the colder season of the year. Rather more
business was done in medium white goods.
The purchases of fabrics for autumn and winter are
cautiously made, and, indeed, except in the way of
orders for future delivery, no great amount of busi-
ness is doing in goods for those seasons. The reports
from Dewsbury, Batley, Batley Carr, and other
places celebrated for heavy goods, show that the
manufacturers are busy, but that the sales, for the
season of the year are not brisk. Still there is
nothing of an absolute depressive nature in either
the condition or the prospects of the woollen trade.
Prices of both wools and goods keep firm.
NOTTINGHAM, June 16.—There was a better at-
tendance on 'Change to-day, and the demand for
lace yarns was more animated than on Friday,
business being done at fully late prices. The de-
mand for hosiery yarns was somewhat quiet, and
prices remained the same as heretofore. Silk firm.
A moderate demand took place for brown nets, and
prices were the tura in favour of the seller.

NIGHTINGALE PlE.—Gretry, the musician, says
a clever writer in the Saturday _Review, was a con -
stant friend of Isabey, the painter, till the connection was
rudely dissolved by that most dangerous of all pastimes, a
practical joke. Ho was passionately fond of nightingales.
He used to vow that they were the best of models, the best
of music masters, and that he was largely and eternally in-
debted to them. His love of music did not interfere with
his taste in cookery; and although he ate little, he was a
he was dining with
reoommended a petd of
warmly
most appetising exterior. He ate eagerly of it, and declared

" It is a paid of nightingales," said Isabey. Gretry turned
pale, laid down his knife and fork, took up his hat and
cane, tottered out of the house, and never entered it again.
It is a pity he had not learned to regard such things philo-
sophically, like one of the best of our English song writers,
Captain Morris :
And a song at my heart alike rushes,
Though I've not fed my lungs
Upon nightingale's tongues,
Nor the brains of goldfinches and thrushes.
Or, as the editor of the Almanach des Gourmands replied
to a sentimentalist who objected to eating robin-redbreasts.
S'il fallait avoir pitie de tont le monde, on ne mangerait
personne."

CARDIGAN v. CALTHORPE.—MoraIists may, per-
haps, not unprofitably consider the observation, which
seems to be well founded, that simultaneously with the
abolition of duelling there has been a luxuriant growth of
envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness in the British
army.—Myrday Itevie .

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, TUESDA.T.

For the Northumberland Plate, Polynesia finished the
favourite, advancing from 20 to 1 to 6 to 1, which was
taken rather freely. Bto 1 would have been taken about
Caller Ou ; and, although no money was put on Brighton,
the highest offer against him was 9 to 1. Clarior and
Marigold appeared to btl, friendless, and Doefoot at one
time was not very steady, as 100 to 6 was laid, but at the
close 100 to 7 was taken. For the St. Leger, all the
money that could be obtained at 9 to 2 was taken about
The Ranger. 100 to 6 was taken about King of the Vale,
but the layers against Baron Rothschild's cult were much
the stronger party. Closing prices:—

AQUATICS.

CHAMBERS AND GREEN FOR £4OO.

The first of the great aquatic contests fixed for
decision this week came off yesterday, viz., that
between Robert Chambers, the present Champion
of the Thames and Tyne, and Richard A. W.
Green, Champion of Australia. The distance to be
rowed was from Putney to the Ship at Mortlake,
and the match was remarkable as being the first in
which a sculler from one of the most distant of her
Majesty's possessions abroad has had the courage
to make a voyage to England and contend for
the coveted honoar of Champion sculler of the
river Thames. The extraordinary excellence of
Chambers as a sculler did not deter Green from at
once making a match, as it will be remembered he
came to this country for the express purpose of
rowing the best man in England, and, consequently,
in the world. Green arrived in England before the
race between Chambers and Everson was decided,
and although anxious not to lose time in effecting
his object, he accepted the advice of his friends and
remained quiet until that match was decided, and
then he challenged the winning man. Green
brought a great reputation with him from the
antipodes, and from the specimens of his power as
a sculler, which a favoured few have had the for-
tune to witness, he was looked upon as a very
awkward opponent for the redoubted Chambers.

The start took place at six minutes past two.
Green having won the toss for choice of station took
the Middlesex side of the river. A fair start having
been effected, Green immediately showed a little
in advance. On arriving at the Duke's Head, he
was
.nearly clear of Chambers, and in about 20
more strokes he was a boat's length ahead. Be-
fore arriving at Craven Cottage he had increased
his lead to two lengths. In crossing, and nearly
opposite the Crab Tree, a raft of timber which was
being towed up the river looked like proving fatal
to Green's chance, as those on board the steamert•
thought he would row right into it. At this point
Chambers, who appeared to be rowing within
himself, put on one of his well-known spurts, and
passed Green as though he was standing still.
Having obtained the lead he passed under Ham-
mersmith•bridge several lengths ahead. Off
Chiswick Eyot, many of the steamers having
followed Chambers, who had obtained a great lead,
actually extinguished any chance that Green
might have had. Chambers won by at least a
quarter of a mile, Green having given over row-
ing from this point.
Betting at starting-3 to lon Chambers. At
one part of the race, where Green led by nearly
two boats' length, the besting was only 2 to 1 on
Chambers, and in some cases as little as 6 to 4
was laid.
