THE SUN,
_LONDON, TUESDAY _ EVENING, itTNE 3, 1851

In answer to the Marquis of WESTMEATH,
The Earl of Ca manic mated that the removal of Cleo-
patra's Needle tot hi; country was still under consideration.
Their Lord,hips then adjourned.
In the Commons the motion of Mr. liumit for the nomine-
ti2n of the Property-tax Committee gave rice to con iderable
discussion, and Mr. FRF.SHFIELD moved that the order of the
day should be discharged. Ultimately, however. on a divi-
sion. the motion that Mr. HUME be a member of the Com-
mittee was carried by 193 !o 94. after which _ _

Mr. Hunts expressed his willingness to allow the Govern-
ment to nominate the other Members. and the further pro-
ceedings were postponed until Friday, when Lord J. RUSSELL
will propose the other Members.
The House having again resolved itself into a Committee
upon the Ecclesiastical Titles' Assumption Bill,
Mr WALPOLE stated the couree be proposed to take in
respect to his amendments. Having obtained the declaratory
clause. which he considered the most important of them.
and fearing to impede the progress of the Bill, he should
propose nothing which be did not consi 'er es-ential to the
proper working of the measure. His amendments would,
therefore, have three objects in view— first to lay down in
the preamble a constitutional principle; secondly, to make
the measure so complete as to prevent the necessity for
future legislation • and, thirdly, to provide that the law
should be enforced.' He added that he thought he ought not
to press the deportation clause. He then moved to introduce
into the second clause—which prohibitei, under a penalty,
the assumption of titles to pretended sees or dioceses. ^ c., in
the I nited Kingdom—words which extended the prohibition
to the obtaining hereafter, or procuring from Rome, or pub-
lishing, or putting in use, any brief or other instrument in
writing, for the purpose of constituting within the kingdom
of England a hierarchy of bishops named from sees with ter •
ritorial titles derived from places belonging to the Crown of
England.
After considerable discussion,
Mr. WatroLE, finding he did not receive the support he
had anticipated, withdrew his amendment.
Mr. M'Cur..t.kcit then moved an amendment of the clause,
the object of which was to exempt from its operation persons
who shall have been recognised as Roman Catholic arch-
bishop of any province, Roman Catholic bishop of any dio-
cese, or Roman Catholic dean of any deanery, by any of her
MAJtsTY's superior courts of law or eqeity.
This amendment was negatived by 291 a,ainst 45.
Mr. Moofta moved another amendment in he same clause,
to insert, after" the United Church of England and Irelan

ticed by 240 against 36.
On the motion of Mr. REYNOLDS, the Chairman reported
progress, and bad leave to sit spin on Friday.
The Prisons Scotland) Bill passed through Committee.
The other motions having been gone through, the House
adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock.

A very discreditable attempt was last night made
to get rid, in an underhand manner, c f a deliberate

vote of the House of Commons, and to disappoiot the

rea.onable expectations of the people. llappilt, how-
ever, fur the character of the representative branch of
the Legislature, this stteuipt, more worthy of at
13,dey pructitioner, than of a member of a b,,dy of
English gentlemen, constituting the first deliberative
assembly in the world, signally failed, and the
nMenclmeht of the Honourable Member fur Bo,ton,
that "the order for the nonlintvion of a Select
Committee on the Property and Income-tax should
be read for the purpose of being discharged," wa4 ne-
Ratived by a majority of 99—there being 94 f.tr, and
193 against the proposition. We do not by any
means contend that it not competent for the House
to reconsider a resolution which it had hastily and
improvidenziy adopted. A matter of considerable

importance, involving very serious consequences to
the nation, might possibly pass wiehout full
discussion, and with comparatively empty
benches. &JAI was the resolution prematurely
carried re-peering the postal arrangements of the
country in the interval between the running of the
Derby and the o.ke in the session of 1850. It
could not for a moment he asserted that that resolu-
tion had received the calm and deliberate approval of
a majority of the popular representatives. On the con-
trary, it was known that the stringent regulecions
adopted in consequence were exceedingly distasteful
to at least far-fittna of the Members of the Commons
House of Parliament, and to a still larger proportion
of persons out of doers. Many even of those who
had voted in favour of the Sabbatarians without
sufficient reflection perceived the inconveniences
necessarily resulting from the marrying out of the
measure, to which they had rendered an ill-advised
support. The attention of the House was then fairly
and unequivocally directed to the subject. The
advocates for the Judaical observance of the Sabbath
had full and sufficient notice of the intention to bring
the matter again under the notice of the House, with
a view to its reconsideration, and could make the
necessary arrangements to accord the most energetic
support to their legislative bantling. The resolution
was then rescinded, wisely, and judiciously re-
scinded, and no stigma could attach to the House,
or to the majority who voted on the second occasion.
The question lest night was, however, of a totally
different character. The amendment, of which the
Hun. Geptlemau the Member for Montrose had given
ample notice, was one respecting which the deepest
interest was felt throughout the entire country. The
injustice and ieequelity of the assessment of the in-
come•tax wee loudly complained of by those who
feunel that the hard earrings t f their phyeicel or
intellectuel leheurs were tax-d as highly as the
regularly paid dividends of the funds, or rents of
well circumstanced real estates. Every contributor
under Schedules 1) and E demanded a revision of the
law, that the impost might he so modified as to be
rendered, if not exactly equitable, at least as closely
'llTroxiiiiating thereto as, under the circumstances of
the cape, c add he achieved. The CHANCELLOR of the
Excel' QU en, however, persevered, with unreasoning
obsiinacy, i.e maintaining the ,Itjection.ble syerene
without chenee or alteration. He greatly put for
ward the gro,sest fallacies, end argued upon them
as if capable of mathematical demonstration, and re-
ceiving an all hut univers,l assent, in place of an
a1,",,r. undbituouscoodt-mnatioti ; and ";he conclusion
at which he arrived" was, that as the matter could
not be assorted with the utmost nicety, as perfection
could not be attained, no effort should be made to
miigate the evils, or to remove the grievances that
press4-d so onerously on the people. Tne veteran
Joetra Hums, however, at length grappled with the
suleject ; his own views were singularly clear and
well defined : he could easily have embodied leis
opinions in tangible propositions, on which to divide
the House. But the Nestor of Reform perceived
the necessity of procuring evidence that could
not be controverted or denied, of which every
bard-headed Protectionist, wanting to bring back a
bread-tax, and every out-and-out Mini-terialist must
be cognizant. Recognizing the propriety of the tax
as a permanent source of revenue, he yet proposed
that its duration should be limited to a single year,
but, for what purpose ? not to embarrass the Govern-
ment or to get rid of the impost, but " with the view
of instituting an inquiry by a Select Committee into
the mode of assessing and collecting the tax, and
whether the injustice of levying the same rate of
charge upon terminable and perpetual annuities,
and upon fluctuating and varying incomes from
trades and professions, as upon fixed incomes from
real property, could not be greatly modified or altogether
removed." This was the motion which was brought
forward on the 2d of May, and carried by a majority
of fourteen in an unusually full House, in which 478
Members were present. . •
If ever a public body was pledged to :a
full and searching irvestigaticn into any legislative
problem, the House of Commons was so pledged by
that vote, soberly and deliberately entered into. It
;re es.! regarded by the leading men'•of all parties.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We blame receive 4 the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Monilur publishes the following telographic dig-
gWebes r4-lative to the journey of the PRESIDENT of the
Republic:—

" Tonnere, June 1, a Quarter past Fleren.
" The President arrived at Tonnere at half-past ten ;he
was received with the greatest enthusiasm by more than
30,000 persons from a distance of ten leagues round ; and
amongst whom were the municipal councils and national
guards of nearly all the neighbouring communes."
"Dijon, June L Fire in the Erening.
"The train which carried the President of the R.public,
the President of the National Assembly, the Vice-President
of the Republic, the Ministers, the Vice-Presidents of the Na-
tional Assembly, and the persona invited, arrived at Dijon at
three o'clock. An immense crowd thronged round the sta-
tion to witness the benediction of the loc motives, which
circumstance was marked by an excellent speech from the
Bishop of Dijon. The President of the Republic then en-
tered the city amidst the acclamations of the whole popu-
lation."

The PRESIDENT then proceeded to the Hotel de Ville,
where a spleudtd bar quet was prepared for him. M.
DUPIN, the President of the Assembly, sat on his right,
and M. ANDRE, the Mayor of Dijon, on his left. At
the dessert, M. ANDRE. the mayor, proposed the health
of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, President
of the Republic, prefacing it with the following
speech:—
" Monsieur le President,—More favoured than many
other towns which have been desirous of offering you a
respectful hospitality, Dijon is sensibly touched with the
honour which you have done it in visiting it a second time.
" Last year you came to judge for yourself of the wants of
our population, and in scarcely a year from that date, thanks
to the skilful direction and well-seconded exertions of an
eminent engineer, you have been able to-day to preside at
one of those important /saes which mark in the life of towns
the pacific conquest of true prosperity.
" Your presence, Prince, at the inauguration of our railway
testifies the interest you feel tor the manufacturing, agricul-
tural, and commercial interests of Burgundy, and when in
the future it shall reap all the advantages which are to result
for it from the new path opened to its activity. it will re-
member that you have wished to unite to the civil anti reli-
gious solemnities of this Lay the double prestige which at-
taches to your person.
"You are nut only, Prince, the heir of the name which
car ied the glop,' of France to the highest pitch, but also
with a firmness and an abnegation which only bebingi to
great minds and supetior courage, you have arrested in their
viol-nee passions reedy to rend the country asunder.
"Honour to you, Prince, for such a great bentfit, and let
us hope that the nation, in the exercise ot i a sovereignty,
will end the best expression fin. its gratitude."
To. PRESIDt.NT pli.ct as totiew,:—
" Gentlemen,— I wish those persons who have doubts as to
the future could have accompanied me in my j urney thro .gh
the populations of the Yonne and the Cote d'Or ; they would
have been able to have judged for themselves of the true
state of public opinion.
" Thi y would have seen that neither intrigues, nor the
attacks, nor the passionate discussions of peraes are in har-
mi,ny with the sentiments and with the condition of the
count ry.
"France neither desires the return of the ancien regime,
under whatever form it may diagui::e itself, rot the experi-
ment of std <rid ins} Tact ica6le Utopian schemes.
" It is because I ?in the meat natur l enemy of both one
and the other that Fiance has placed coutideuce in me. If
thi: were nut the case, how could we explain the affecting
symptthy of the people towards me, which resists the most
subversive polemics, and which acquits ate of being the cause
of their sufferings
" If my G iverement has not. been able to rea'ize all the
ameliorations which it had in view, we must attribute the
failure to the manoeuvres of the factious' who paralyse the
good intentions of As.eniblies as well as that of G ve nrnynts
most devoted to the public welfare. It is because you have
thus con prehended the state of the question that I have had,
in patriotic Burgundy, a reception which is fur me an appro-
bation and an encouragement.
" I rake advantage ,t this banquet as of a tribune, to ex-
hibit, to lay bate my heart before my fellow.citizens. A
new pha-is has commenced in our political lit-; from one
end ot France to the ot er petitions are being signed fur the
revision of the Constitution. I await with confidence the
manifestetions of the country and the decisions of the As-
sembly, which will be inspired only by the sentiment of the
public interest.
" Since I have been in power, I have proved bow much,
in presence of the great interests f society, I set aside all
that aft, cted me personally. The most unjust and the most
violent attacks could not shake toy equanimity. Whatever
may be the duties which the country may impose upon me,
it sitall find me resolved to obey its will; and, be assured,
gentlemen, that France shall not perish in my hands."
his speech was received with the most euthusiastio
applause.
At ten o'clock the PRESIDENT went to the grand ball
given in the theatre, which he opened with the wife of
the Prefect.
M. DE CORaIENIN (Timon) has declared 'against any
revision of the Constitution.
We rt ad in the Bulletin de Paris—" The fusionist re-
presentatives appear to be decided on supporting the
PRESIDENT of the Republic so long as he shall not touch
the Electoral La* of May 31st; but they would vote and
act in serious opposition it the Government should pro-
pose the repeal of that law."
M. DE Cnamosr, Bishop of St. Claude, died on the23th

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpo.,l yesterday ktere rbout
6,000 1,000 ot which were taken or, i.pecolatiou,
and 500 for exp“rtation; the market closed heavily, and
prices were abouT the same as on Friday. Of American
there were 5 000 halet., P. roam and Maranhm 300, rea-
16ed 64 1. to 7d ; Bahia 100, brought 6-d.; Egyptian 150,
sold at 6id. to Sid.; and 300 Surat brougt 30. to ,ted.—
In Shares an improvement had taken place, but towards
the close the market was not so firm as at the early part
of the day.

The Circular of Messrs. Schuyler and Mummy, dated
New Or!tans, May 10, and published by Mr. James
Irvine. of Liverpool, contains the follotiving:—" Our
Cotton Market has been in a depressed state since the
date of our last Circular of 26th ult., and has been la-
bouring under the iefluence of unfavourable foreign ad-
vices and a constantly increasing surplus of the receipts
at all the ports. Thus prices have been gradually de-
g, and did receive only a momentary check by the
news ot killing frosts on the Ist and 2d inet., received
from various sections of Mississippi, Alabama, and
Tennessee, according to which the young plant is said to
have been materially injured. These advices, emanating
from respectable parties, produced more firmness on the
part of factors, and at the same time giving an impulse
to the demand, caused transactions during the week to
swell up to 34,700 bales, and gave more steadiness to
prices. This improvement has; however, again been
lost, and a general apstby has been the principal feature
of the market during all the past week. The inquiry
bas been very limited, and did not extend beyond small
parcels, wanted for filling freight engagements. The
news by the steamer of the 26th ult., reporting a decline
of d. to id. at Liverpool, has increased materially the
gloom sun depression already existing in the market,
and has rendered prices entirely nominal. The sales
during the past week have been confised to 17,000
bales, and the market closes flat and irregular, at the
following quotations, viz,:—Ordinary, Bc. to Bic.; good
uzdinery, Sic. to 9c ; middling, 91c. to 9./e.; good
'
middling, 94e. to 10c.• middling fair, 10ic. to 10}c.; fair,
110. to like. Sales during the last fortnight, 51,700
bales. Receipts at this port since Ist Sept., 898,564 baler,
against 748,255 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all the ports up to latest dates, 260,462 bales."
At the special request of the Austrian Government,
letters for its dominions are in future to be sent viol
Belgium and Germany, not through France.
The Money Market appears to be rather sensitive in
the trice of the many favourable circumstances which
should influence it. The amount of bullion arriving
from the United Stales, Russia, and other parts, the
excellent acceunte from California, and the restriction of
the citron combined with the fine growing
weather for the grain crops and the advance in the
foreign exchanges, are all circumstances that inspire
confidence, and there is nothing particularly wanting to
insure the continuence of this satisfactory position of
affairs, but some guerantee that political affairs in France
will remain treequil. The speech of Louis Napleon
is considered indiscreet in same re-pects, but the ii flux
of prtiti, ns, fur a revision of the Constitution are some
excuse for the exhibition of a liTtle exultation, which it
is hoped may be kept within constitutional bounds.
The English Stock Market, after yesterday's strong
buying, is again quieter; but there is no change in the
quotations worth noting, save perhaps that the " turn "
is slightly iu favour of buyers. Consols have been 97j
to 98. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents have
teatised 98i to.; and the Three per Cents. 97 to 1,

41s. to 45, ; end India Bonds 51s. eirr mium. S,n,b Sea

The value of Foreign Securities has been rather
easier. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quilted
32k. Peruvian Four and-a-Half per Cents. have been
marked 84k to 85. Buenos Ayres, Bonds were 57i ex.
dividend, and Chilian Three per Ci nts. have been at 64.
Mexican Steak keeps firm a! 34/ to 35. Russian Stock
has been at 112 to fur the Five per Cent., and French
Five per Cont.. Rentes hare been quoted 91E. with the
exthenge at 251. Dutch Two-aid-a Halt per Cents.
have been 59i 'to 1. Belgian Four-and a Half per
Cents. have been at 91i to
Railway Shares have not been quite so good, but this
is mainly the result of paucity of business and the incli-
nation to realise profits by these who bought a short
Vine since at very advantageous rates. The takings of
the lines since Saturday are understood to be increasing,
and this will undoubtedly continue until the time of the
half-yearly meetings.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(TEIS DAY.)
From the crowds assembled round the doors of the Crystal
Palace before its epeniug, we should say that to-day will be
one of the most crowded which has yet been known. In the
first two hours 31,175 persons passed through the doors, a
greater number than have ever yet entered in so short a space
of time. It was always expected that Monday would be the
most crowded of the shilling days, as it is on that day that
the working classes take their holiday; but, apparently,
they are de, ermined to take holidays for the sole purpose of
viewing the Exhibition, as we observed great numbers of
them among the crowd this morning.
The numbers yestercay were about 45,000, and the receipts
2,1291. Is.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
LONDON GASLIGHT COMPANY.

Mr. H. HILL app.ied to the Court for a mandamus directed
to the Judge of the Brompton County Court, requiring him
to hear a plaint of the •London Gaslight Company. lm 184
the company contracted to supply a Mr. Linstead, of Brompton,
with gas, at the rate of 6s. per thousand, and that person
heir); indebted to the company in 21. or 3/. under that con-
tract, the company issued a summons against him in the
Brompton Ceunty Court. At the hearing of the case the de-
fendant took an objection to the jurisdiction of the court, on
the ground that one of the p,ovisions of the Gas Company's
Act gave the company power to recover sums under 201.
before a police magistrate, and he Judge held 'the objection
to be fatal to the claim. It was quite clear, however, that the
Act did not take a Nay the common-law right of the company
to sue in the county courts; and the Judge, therefore, acted
wrongly in not adjudicating on the plaint.
Application granted.

MIDDLESIX St.SSIONS.
.( CEIIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
The June General Sessions were opened this moving al
the Court House, Clerkenwell-green. There are fifty pri,
ts,ners for trial.

Henry Hutchinson, aged 22, a smith, was indicted for
stealing four coppers from different houses in Boxton. He
was met by a policemat in Old-street-road, at eix o'clock one
morning last, week, carrying a bag, which seemed to the
constable, from the shsrp bulging in different parts, to con-
tain large pieces of broken metal of some kind. He ques-
tioned the prisoner, who said he did n. .t know what was in
the bag, but a man had just given him a shilling to carry
the sack as far as St. Luke's Church.

The several coppery were identifFel by the owners of the
houses, 6,7, 8, and 9, Park street, Hoxton, in which street
the prisoner lived, his mother being a housekeeper.
Au iron-moulder, working in the same employment with
the prisoner, and lodging in his mother's house, gave the
pris ner an exceilent character, and swore that to the best
of his belief he was in bed the whole et the night, when the
coppers were stolen, and did nut go out before six in the
morning.
Tue jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced
to nine months imprisonment and hard labour.

ST. JAMES'S THI AI RE.
FRENCH PLAYS.

Mademoiselle Ra, het made her deb& for the season last
evening, in the chai trete' of Phedie. She seems to have
completely recovered her health (it will be remember, d that
last seasoe, during ate ost the V, hole period she was with us,
she we+ suffering from indisposition), and never did she deli-
.
' neate more impassionedly the woes of the fated Phedre than
she did I.st evening. She completely realises the idea of a
rated being, hurried on by some mysterious yet
overwhelming agency to the commission of crimes
which she loathes and abhors. Every sp,ech,
every look, every gesture was perfect, and her delineation
of the excess of mental and physical suffering was so true to
nature as to be almost painful to witness. The avowal of
her love to Erione was given with a feeling of deep emotion
that was exceedingly beautiful ; grandly, sublimely impas-
sioned was her declaration of love to Hy ppolite, and agenis-
ing was her anguish when she finds her love rejected;
never was the crushing s.-nse of sudden humiliation so ex-
quisitely portrayed. The grand soliloquy was sublim ly
given ; indeed, as a whole, Rachel hem!' has never acted
Phedre better than she did last evening. She was called on
repeatedly during the course of the performance, and again
at the cone u•ion, when her reception was most enthusiastic.
Her brother, M. Raphael. was the Hyppolite. Be has made
great advances in his art, and is now au excellent actor. The
theatre was well and fashionably attended.
