Lord ELCLIO seconded the amendment.
After a short conversation the amendment was agreed
;o without a division, and the bill was thrown out.
EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES
BILL.

On the question for resuming the adjourned debate on
the second reading of this bill,
Lord ADOLPHUS VANE expressed his surprise at
the absence of Ministers on this occasion. The bill af-
fected many millions of Church property, and as it was
only right that the Government should be represented
when the division took place. He was therefore justi-
fied in moving that the debate be further adjourned,
but at the same time he thought it right to state at once
that he was decidedly opposed to the bill.
Mr. G. BUTT seconded the motion for the adjourn-
ment, though he was not opposed to the bill; but in the
present state of the house, and the absence of Ministers,
he thought it was unwise to proceed with the discussion
now.

Mr. G. BERKELEY said it was from no want of
courtesy to the noble lord who had charge of the bill
that Ministers were absent, but he had just received a
message from the noble lord the Secretary of State for
the Home Department stating that he would be here
very shortly, and he therefore hoped the debate would
not be adjourned.
Mr. DRUMMOND recognised no difference between
those who wished openly to destroy the Church and
those who professed to be its reformers. Now the effect
of this bill would be to convert cathedrals into parish
churches ; but instead of doing that, they ought to esta-
blish more cathedrals and create more bishops. Why,
in the diocese of London alone seven additional bishops
were required ; but the Church had acted like the dog
in the manger—it would not do its own duty nor would
it let anybody else do it. He was rejoiced, however,
to find that another Church had stepped in
and added another bishop to the metropolis.
The fact was, the decline of the Church was not due to
its open opponents, the Dissenters or the Roman Catho-
lics, but to the negligence of its own clergy. The object
of this bill was to destroy the whole temporalities of the
Church, so far as its capitular and episcopal estates were
concerned ; and having done that, he wanted to know
where they were to stop ? He could not tell ; but this
he knew, that such measures as this would only have
the effect of driving Protestants over to the Roman
Catholic Church.

Mr. HADFIELD insisted that the voluntary efforts
of the people had done more towards evangelising the
country than the Established Church, with all its vast
property. The great bane of the Established Church—•
the great obstacle which stood in tLe way of its progress
was its property, and, for the sake of Christianity, it was
only right that the control of that property should be
taken out of its hands, and placed under temporal man-
agement.

MARKET INT ELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR —To-day the prices obtained for British planta-
tion sugar did not exceed those of Friday, but there was
a brisk demand for refiners and grocers. Barbadoes went
readily at full rates—fine yellow at 39s to 40s, mid to good
358 to 38s Gd, and low 33s to 34s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was a larger demand for re-
fined sugar from home dealers, and rates are firmer ; brown
lumps selling at 45s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s 6d to
50s Gd per cwt. In crushed sugar little doing for expor-
tation.
OlLS.—Stock is on the increase of sperm, and the trade
operating with reluctance, prices have declined—mid to
fine quality selling at 106/. to 1091., and headmatter
1021. to 108/. ; in seal many purchases have been made,
and the market has a firm as?ect. Sales of pale
at 411 to 431, coloured 371 to 401, dark 361 to 371. Cod con-
tinues to be wanted, and -realized 391 10s to 40s. For
Cocoa Nut there is now a large demand ; Cochin at 49s Gd
to 50s 6d, other sorts 47s 6d to 48s ; Palm is cheaper.
TALLOW. -Stock now exceeds that of last year by 11,000
casks, and deliveries show a decrease of 9,000, still rates
rule much above that time. There was a reluctance to operate
in tallow up to Friday for all purposes, and prices declined
to some extent, an impression gaining ground the supply of
Russian overland would be large amounting to 100,000 casks.
The rates accepted on the spot for first sort P.Y. Candle
were 61s to 61s 6d, June and July 62s to 62s 68, and Au-
gust 638 s to 61s 6d. Since Friday speculators and the trade
operated more freely, and an advances has taken place ; it
not being likely more than 50,000 cks can be received during
the season in an indirect manner. Prices now rule at 62s 9d
to 63s on the spot, and at 64s Gd to 61s 98 for August de-
livery. Home melted is plentiful, but now in good de-
mand at 60s to 60s Gd cash. In other sorts of Tallow pur-
chases have been on a lage scale since Friday ; Australian,
mid to fine mutton at 60s to 62s Gd, beef 59s to 60s 6d,
South American 58s to 635, and French melted 58s to 62s
per cwt.
