BURGH HARBOURS (SCOTLAND) BILL.

This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted.

Their lordships then adjourned at twenty minutes to nine
o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. )
The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Lords' amendments to the Londonderry, Ennis-
killen, and Sligo Railway Bill were considered and
agreed to.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
—Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway ; and West-
minster Improvements.
The following bills were considered and ordered to be
read a third time :—British Electric Telegraph Company;
Great Southern and Western Railway (Ireland); Liver-
pool, Crossby, and Southport Railway.
The Spitalfields to Shoreditch Improvement Bill was
read a second time.

Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved that the Spitalfields
to Shoreditch Improvement Bill be referred to a select
committee, and that the committee do consist of Sir
William Molesworth, Sir William Clay, Lord Robert
Grosvenor, Lord Seymour, Mr. Osborne, Sir Robert
Harry Inglis, and five to be added by the committee of
selection ; three to be the quorum. That the com-
mittee have leave to sit and proceed upon Monday next.
—Agreed to.

Russell) heartily concurred in the motion for leave to in- '
troduce the bill ; and he trusted the noble lord would not
unduly press a measure of such importance at a period of
the session when Parliament might not be able to give to
it that attention which it deserved. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME considered the bill of the noble lord was of
the utmost importance, but he complained that it- wholly
overlooked the secular education of the masses of the people.
His (Mr. Hume's) opinion was that the interest of the Church
required that no dignatary should bo maintained in her ser-
vice unless he had duties to perform, and that her ser-
vant should be paid in proportion to the duties they had
to discharge. When so large a sum as 3,000,0001. had been
raised by the voluntary contributions of the Free Church
of Scotland, he surely was not wronc, in expecting that
much more zeal and spirit might be shown by the rich and
wealthy in this country. At any rate, he rejoiced that
now the first step had been taken ; because, though he
could not agree with all the propositions of the noble mar-
quis, he was sure it would effect a great reform which had
long been wanting in the Church. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HEADLAM expressed his entire concurrence in the
object of tho noble lord. With respect to the diocese of
Durham, the operation of the scheme of the commissioners
was to divert the church funds of that district, and apply
them to the country at large, leaving the population of Dur-
ham comparatively destitute. Newcastle, with Gateshead,
contained a population of 113,000 ; they had been applied
to to raise a fund for the Church, to which they had ac-
ceded, though it was very hard upon them that their own
funds should be diverted in the way ho had described.
Tho population of this county of Durham had increased
faster than any other district, with the exception of Lan-
cashire and one or two others—the result of the open-
ing of the great coal field there ; and there was no
doubt that r. district with a population so rapidly grow-
ing musk equiro a great extension of. church accommoda-
tion. H.. eshoulti endeavour to introduce into the bill a
clause giving the districts where the funds were produced
a prior claim upon triena.
Sir B. HALL said he had long paid attention to this
subject, and had endeavoured to bring about a better dis-
tribution of church property, in consequence of which he
had been exposed to•much obloquy. He certainly did not
expect, at so early a period, to see the House of Commons
acquiescing in the proposition to permit a bill like that to
be introduced, which went further that anything he had
ever proposed. He .would not enter largely into the sub-
ject, as there seemed a unanimous feeling that tho propo-
sition should go forward, and should be discussed on the
second reading. If it were proposed that the revenues of
the church should be made available for the church gene-
rally, instead of for particular districts, he would give it
is hearty supports The church ought to be viewed
generally, not in sections ; and if any district was
more richly endowed than. another—if there was more
property in Durham than was necessary for the wants
of the community—the poorer districts ought to have
the benefit of the distribution of that property. (Hear,
hear.) In Wales, real poverty might be seen among
the working clergy ; and any proposal to make the su-
perfluous' wealth of the diocese of Durham available for
the wants of the church, Dither in the poorer districts of
England, or in the principality, should have his hearty
support. He sincerely hoped that the bill would pass into
a law this session, being confident that its result would
be to render the church more beloved and more cared for.

Mr. EWART expressed his approval of the loading
features of the bill. Ho wished to call attention to an
anomaly in the working of tho capitular act, by which
the deans on the old foundations received more than those
on the new, who were limited to 1,0001. a year, and somo
of them actually received less than the canons. In this
respect, the object of the act had been defeated ; and he
hoped the bill now proposed would.supply a remedy.
Mr. FERGUSON spoke in praise of the efforts of
the hard-working clergy, to whom, he said, the present
efficient state of the church was mainly due. (Hear.)
In his own name, and in the name of the working clergy,
he thanked the noble marquis for having introduced the
bill.

Mr. A. PELLATT concurred in the tribute of praise
which was bestowed on the noble lord for having intro-
duced the bill. He sympathised with the distresses of the
working clergy of the Church of England, but, at the
same time, there were clergymen in the enjoyment of large
incomes for which they did but little in return. He
thought there ought to be a most searching inquiry into
those incomes, and into the management of church pro-
perty. As a nonconformist he thought he was entitled to
claim a part of the merit for the nonconformist clergy in
helping to bring about the improved state of things which
the noble marquis referred to.
Mr. PHILLIMORE observed that pluralities were
rapidly disappearing, and by the existing laws it was im-
possible they could be renewed.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD, in reply, tendered his
thanks to the government for the manner in which they
had received his motion, which he agreed in thinking,
with his hon. friend the member for Marylebono, was a
sign of a great advance. (Hear, hear.)
Leave was then given to brillg in the bill.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-YEKERDAY.

With the exception of what has been done upon the
Northumberland Plate (which has been an excellent
betting race for those who commenced laying early),
there has been little betting since Friday. Coomberland
Stathesman, who has for some time been shaky, now
seems to be quite gone. Colsterdale has been destined
to have many ups and downs in the market ; since Sa-
turday as much as 9 to 1 has been laid against him, and
on Monday, for some time after they began to muster at
the Post-office Hotel, he seemed nearly friendless ; one
individual, hOwever, who generally drops in rather late,
began taking eights, seven, and in one bet 600 to 100,
and seemed inclined to go on at that price, and, at the
finish sto 1 was the highest offer. A few investments
were made upon St. Michael at 13 to 1, and 100 to 8 was
taken a time or two about Harbinger for the Liverpool
Cup. 20 to 1 was taken to 501. about Blight for next
year's Derby, and Marley Hill was supported at 25 to 1.
Yesterday the investments were unimportant only so far
as serve to show the true quotations for the different
events named below.
