THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,

perience in Committees, whether there was not great
advantage in such a course, inasmuch as every detail of
the Bill would to fully considered, Lae(' an opportuuiry
would' be at?" atded of rejeetieg every ohjectioeable pro-
vision 'in V-e its wag quite ready to state that if
this course were adopted, he ahould not consider the
}Louvain any degree pledged to that which had been
objected to in the Bill —viz., an absolute renewal
all leases of Church property for ever. He foundtif
nothing -in the preamble or in the wordieg of the
Bill to prevent the Committee rejfctiog, or limiting
or regulating the claim—if not the' right of lessees,
in the way most conducive to the interests
.of the Church,
taking into e ,nsideration what the Righ. Rev. Prelate
had admitted to he the claims of those who occupied as
lessees. He appealed to the Noble Lord on the cross
bench whether, if they sent the subject to a Select Com-
mittee without the poe:er or considering the Bill, it
would not be equivalent, if not to a rejection of the Bill,
at least to an indefinite postponement of it, and to a
taking away of all chance of any progress being made
in the question this session. For fifteen years the sub-
set hag occupied the consideration of the public gene-
rally, and of the occupiers uader the Church, and of the
Church itself in particular, and some settlement of it
had been looked forward to by all parties. By sus-
penditer that settlement the interests of the Church, and
also of the lessees, had been deteriorated, because it had
been found impossible to carry on improvements and to
develop the resources of the property held, by the
Church. An expectation of a settlement having been
held out, he thought their Lordships ought to take the
first practical step towards it by sending this Bill to be
duly considered by a Committee. He submitted, there-
fore, on the understanding that the Bill be sent to a
Select Committee, that their Lordships should now agree
to read it a second time pro forma.
The Bishop of OXFORD did not rise to discuss the
principle of the Bill, but to move an amendment in ac-
cordance with the suggestion of the Noble Lord oppo-
site (Lord Stanley), that a Select Committee be ap-
pointed to consider bow and by what system of manage-
ment the capitular and episcopal property of the Church
might be rendered more productive of benefit to_ t
the
State, and most conducive to the spiritual welfareofhe
people, due regard being had to the just and reasonable
claims of the present holders of Church property under
for the
lease or otherwise.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped,
reasons stated by the Noble Lord
Noble Marquis, opposite, that their
Lordships would take this course. The
in answering the objection of the
omitted to read the
Noble Lord, had re-
ferred to the preamble, buth
had
modifications as hereinafter
qualifying words " with:,
contained." It was desirable
bl that the interests of all
should be duly considered, and if, as the Noble Earl on
the cross benches feared, the Bill would not pass this
emlsion, he could only assure him that it was one oae of
those cases to which the old proverb of " the more haste
the worse speed" was very applicable. Re begged to
move the amendment.
The Earl of CARLISLE opposed the amendment.
After the discussions that had taken place—after the
general concurrence of opinion with respect to the pro-
visions of the Bill—after the question had been before
the public for upwards of tea years, and had been last
year the subject of a special report of Commission—and
after the Government had introduced a Bill founded
upon that report—he did think it was ungracious to re-
fuse the Bill a second reading. He was astonished that
the Right Rev. Prelate for Oxford should have laid any
stress on the mcditying words in the preamble, since it
would be perfectly open to the Committee to say whe-
ther those words should be struck out of the preamble or
not. One must be sanguine, indeed, to suppose that the
report of such a Committee as that proposed by the Right
Rev. Prelate would dispose of the question. In all probabis
Itiever such a report came bsf .re them, there would
be another Select Committee moved for, to consider the
Bill. BO that the whole qie- stion would be postponed.
Quito cart in that the country would disapprove of The
withdr4eal of the Bill, be felt bound to give his decided
o2feeitton to tee amendment.
TtorEarl of ABERDEEN', did not rise to speak on
the tactics of the 'slit, but as the Net.le Earl had spoken
of the eeeontl readiner.f 4 ei a matter of courtesy he
wished to recall to this' Lordship's recollection what the second reading of a Bill tae t. As the oldest mem-
ber the flou,'e },re, en he thought he was entitled to
offer his opinion that the second reading of a B'll—spi:e
of all understauditg end agreeceents—w.is an affirmation
or the principle of that Bill. Ha knew it was not
alwa easy to explain what the principle of a Bill was,
but It the princiele or tt.is-Bill was as represented by the
Right Rev. Prelate, the convert:ien of 15esea for life into
lesses in perpetuity, that would be what they would
affirm by reaoing the Bill a second time. In a Commitee
they might steal with the provisions of the Bill, but with
the principle of it they could not.
Earl GREY said the question in this case was, what
sews the principle of the Bill? His Noble Friend had
State" in the clearest manner that he was willing to take
the principle as defined in the first part only of the pre-
amble, viz., an improved management of Church pro-
perty with due regard to the just and reasonable claims
of persons holding it by lease or otherwise; that was all
they were to affirm by the second reading. The course
proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate (Oxford) would vir-
tually negative the second reading.—(No, no.) When
he considered the extent to which the lessees were suf-
fering by the present state of things, he thought their
Lordships would incur a serious responsibility if they
adopted a course which would virtually prevent all legis-
lation on the subj-ct this session.
After a few words from the Archbishop of CANTER
BURY and the Earl of PO W IS, both a whom were in,. audible, their Lordships divided,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The question of the revision of the Constitution is dis-
cussed in all the journals.
The Presse gives the following account of a conversa-
tion in the Assembly on this topic:—
"The 28th May is drawing nigh, and on that day the
Assembly, having entered on the third year of its existence,
can entertain the question of revising the Constitution. In
that prevision, perfectly legal, MM. Moulin and Morin had
presented a proposition having for object to regulate the
manner in which all applications to revise the Constitution
are to be examined. M. Godelle moved yesterday that this
proposition should be brought forward for discussion this day.
fellers] Cavaignac opposed that course as illegal, but the ma-
jority of the Assembly declared against him. We attach no
importance to that decision. For us, the question does not
relate either to tricks or to political stratagems, or to the
manner of proceeding. It is quite indifferent to us what for-
malities the Assembly may think fit to employ for the pur-
pose of examining any proposition for revision. We shall
never have but one reply to make to all such propositions, a
reply clear, straightforward, and simple, to which the friends
of reaction can find nothing to reply, in whatever manner
the battle is engaged. That reply is—No revision without
the repeal of the law of May 31. However the struggle may
be conducted, such is the right, such the truth !"
Tho Committee charged to examine the proposition of
M. CRAPOT, relative to the right of petition, assembled
yesterday. Among the clauses adopted by the Com-
mittee is one which interdicts women and minors from
signing petitions, except on affairs concerning them-
selves personally. M. QUENTIN BAUCEARD was chosen
as reporter.
M. DE CABRAL, an attacE• of the French Embassy at
Naples, has arrived in Paris, and will be followed in a
few days by M. W ALEWSIEL The Bulletin de Paris
states that General AUPIC declines the embassy to Lon-
don, and that the appointment will probably be given
to M. WALEWSHI.
We read in the Bulletin de Paris:— '
" The French Government bas just addressed detailed in-
structions to General Gemeau, relative to the aggressions
against the French soidiers at Rome. It is recommended
among other things that the officers and privates shall only
appear publicly in rather numerous bodies, so as to be in no
danger of assassination, and that in the event of insult or ag-
gresston they shall enforce respect by vigorous action."

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1851.

In the House of Lords last night,
The Property-tax Bill was read a third tita a and
passed.
The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second read ling of
the Episcopal and Cspitular Estates Managemm it Bill.
The provisions of the Bill embodied the recomx nenda-
tions contained in the reports of the Commis sionera
presented last year, and if the second reading we re car-
ried he should propose that the Bill be refer a ed to a
Select Committee.
The Bishop of LONDON opposed the Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of Hair ROWBY
recommended that it should be read a second i6j me, in
order to be referred to a Select Committee, a recom-
mendation in which Lord STANLEY concurred.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH opposed the second : reading
of the Bill. A conversation followed, in which ti to Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE, the Bishop of OXFORD, tl to Earl
of ABERDEEN, and several other Peers took p art, and
on a division the second reading was carried i):s, a ma-
jority of eighteen, the numbers being—Cont az its, 46;
Non. contents, 28.
In the Commons,
New writs were ordered for Newry and Arr..; llshire.
Mr. EWART moved the following resolution:— " That
it is eepedient that the investigations which ha fe been
made in the laws icfliciiegce,eital punishment in II ;ngland
be extend, d to Sco:land, and (es far as possible; i to the
colonial poi.sessions of this country."
Mr. Fox MAIILE and Sir GEoßcri GREY ogre ed with
the spirit of the resolutica, but eared difficultia s would
be found in carrying it into effect. Mr. EuxE en pressed
a hope that Government would take up the subja ct; and
Mr. HAWES explained the practice in the colonier r. Ul-
timetely thy, rootioU was withdrawn.
Mr. W. J. Fox moved, 'That it is expediet to pro-
mote the education toe people iu E:igland at t 1 Watts
by the estztbiLhinout of free ti,ce)ols for secular. instruo.
tital, to be supported by local rives, and mac s iged by

p.
Sir GEORGE GREY opposed the motion.
Mr. Hums thought the property of the coo n try was
bound to afford education to those ato want( d it.
Mr. A. B. HOPE was opposed to all isChOtuts o I educa-
tion that did not give the utmost devtiuiatout to religi-
ous epieioris.
Colonel THOMPSON asked, why mix up re!' ii;ious in-

GERMANY,
The Cologne Gazette has the following from Vienna,
dated 14th:---" The camp which is to be formed in the
neighbourhood of Olmutz will be on a larger scale than
was at first contemplated. It will be composed of
picked troops from the corps d'armee of Moravia, Silesia,
Bohemia, and Upper Austria. Several Generals have
already gone to inspect the troops. We have already
stated that BACRONINE had been condemned to impri-
sonment for life; the truth is that he had been con-
demned to death, but-the EMPEROR commuted the sen.
tenes. He has already left Olmutz."
The New Gazette of I'Odef states that M. BActco-
NINE was delivered up on the 17th to the Russian au•
thorities near Miglowitz.
The King of PRUSSIA arrived, on the evening of the
18th, at Warsaw. The Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA
weld to meet him as far as Wiernirvice.
The Spew?. Gazette states that the Emperor of Ars-
Tule was to leave Olmutz on the 20tb. It is said that
his MAJESTY will have an interview with the King of
PRUSSIA. at Warsaw, and will afterwards proceed as far
as Cracow.
M. DE NANTEUFFEL left Berlin on the 18th, for

Could it reasonably be expected that such a mar-
vellous importation of visitors would deluge the
metropolis at the very opening of the Exhibition ?
In ninety -nine cases out of a hundred the season
tickets have been purchased, and the five shilling
ebtrance money has been paid, by metropolitan resi-
dents. There are a great number of persons in the
habit of paying
a visit to the capital for a few weeks
in the commencement of summer who have deferred
coming up to town in the present season until a re-
duction takes place in the terms of admission. London
is certainly not fuller, indeed not so full at present as
it generally is in the month of May, and those who
spend two or three hours even amidst the marvellous
array of contributions which are piled in mag-
nificent variety and profusion within the
vast edifice, are physically incompetent, as
well as mentally disinclined, to devote some
further portion of the day to the inspection of
many articles of elegance and luxury with which the
magazines of our West-end shopkeepers are stored,
or to sit out the entertainments provided by the pro-
ducers of dramatic or spectacular novelties. But
this is only a temporary stagnation. The case will be
widely different when the stream sets in, which may
be expected at its highest flow during the months of
July and August. Strangers will find that a single
visit to the Exhibition will go for nothing, and that
half-a-dosen will be barely sufficient to afford a
comprehensive inspection of its countless fascinations.
There will doubtless be a system of regulations
adopted by the Royal Commissioners with a view to
the convenience of the public, which will prevent the
building from being overcrowded, and afford en-
trance daily to but a limited number ; a number
which, however large, will be but a fraction compared
with the multitude desirous of admission. Do the
shopkeepers imagine that the masses with whom the
thoroughfares will be swarming will walk about with
their pockets hermetically buttoned up, and obsti-
nately deny themselves the gratification of any pur-
chases of eitherreal or fancied necessaries, or of me-
mentoes of the season, or of presents to provincial
friends ? What are myriads of people, who have no
domestic hearths on the banks of the Thames, to do
with themselves throughout the evening but to visit
oar theatres and public gardens, which afford so many
and so various opportunities for enjoyment at an in-
considerable expense? And, as it is to be presumed,
that this mighty addition to the metropolitan popula-
tion is so constituted according to the ordinary lot of
humanity, that its individual members must nut
merely supply the exigencies of our common nature
by easing and drinking, but by likewise sleeping
under cover, it rnay fairly be inferred that house-
keepers will not have much reason to complain.
Patience, then, good people ; and without antici-
pating that you are to double your fortunes per
saltune, you will ere long participate in the benefits
which we augur will generally result from the mag-
nificent experiment which is the world's wonder. If
there be found a grumbler among you this day three
months, he will eminently deserve to be carefully
enclosed in a glass case, and exhibited to the gaze of
millions in a conspicuous part of the mighty shrine of
the Curiosities of All Nations.

NUMERnUs AND FATAL ACCIDENTS RETURNING
FAO3I EPSOM ON TILE DERBY DAY.—Late on Wednesday
night and yesterday (Thursday) morning, the following se-
rious accidents were admitted into the Borough Hospital,
which occurred on the way from Fpsom to London :—Shortly
after eleven o'clock, a man named George Jackson, aged 6,
residing in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate- street, City, was re-
turning from the races at Epsom, in company with several
friends, when the cart in which they were riding came in
contact with a pleasure-van, whereby those in the former
vehicle were thrown out on to the roadway. The man Jack-
son was so seriously injured that it was deemed necessary to
convey him by railway to St. Thomas's Hospital, where it
was fotnd that he had sustained a severe scalp wound and
fractured ribs. Another accident happened near Ewell,
which was unfortunately attended with fatal con- equences.
A party of gentlemen in a dog-cart were proceeding at
a rapid speed towards town, when they drove the
vehicle on to an embankment, which capsized the
whole of them, when one gentleman, named Tomlinson,
was so much injured that he expired on the way home
to Southampton-street, Camberwell, where the body
now lies awaiting an inquest. A third accident took place
to a cabman, named Charles Palmer' aged 42, of Coburg-
road, Old Kent-road. It seems he had been engaged by
Jemmy Welsh, Barnash, and other pugilists, to convey them
to Epsom and back, and when near Sutton, the driver
(Palmer) was knocked off his seat, when the wheel of a car-
riage passed over his left arm; he also received a serious
injury to :he head and various contusions on his body. He
was placed in the cab, and brought at two o'clock in the
morning to Guy's Hospital, where very faint hopes are given
of his recovery. Several other accidents happened near the
Elephant end Castle, where many thousand persons had
assembledto witness the return of the company from the
races. A man named William Hareoert, aged 40, was
standing in the roadway near the Obelisk, when he was
knocked dswn by a phaeton and four horses, and before the
driver could stop the off wheels passed over his legs, causing
compound fractures of both limbs. He was placed on a
stretcher and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he now re-
mains in a dangerous condition. Many other casualties were
admitted into the hospitals, but after having their wounds
dressed they were taken home.
SUDDIN DEATH OF FREDERICK SHARMAN CRAW_
FORD, Esq.—We regret exceedingly to announce the death,
at Crawfordeburn, of Mr. F. S. Crawford, fourth son of
William Sharman Crawford, Esq., M.P. for Rochdale. Be
was in the 36th year of age, and was in his usual state of
health tip to Saturday last, the 17th inst., when an attack
of inflammation suddenly removed, from a scene of useful-
ness, one of the most benevolent men that ever graced society.
DEATH OF MR. MOTT, THE POOR-LAW AUDITOR.
—Mr. Charles Mott, the auditor for the South Lancashire
Poor-law district, expired on Monday last. Mr. Mott had

of the defalcations of the late collector for Hyde, who ab-
sconded with moneys belonging to that township in his pos-
session. Mr. Mott, it was considered, had neglected to

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
MAY 22.
ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL FAMILY IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
—Soon after one o'clock this day, the Royal children ar-
rived at Cowes, and at six o'clock in the evening, the Fairy
yacht came into harbour with her Majesty and Prince Albert
on board; the Royal party were saluted by the Castle, the
R. Y. S. battery, the Titania schooner yacht, G. R. Stephen-
son, EQq., and from the Scindian troop-ship, Capt. Comme I,
from which the soldiers cheered most heartily.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Last evening was one of the delightful " long Thursdays,"
and long before the commencement of the performances every
nook and coiner from which a sight of the stage could be
commanded was occupied. It was the first performance
this season of the most brilliant, most delightful, and most
effervescing of operas, .11 Barbijre, and the cast whs
amazingly strong. Madame Sontag, who was in ex-
cellent voice and spirits, was the Rosina, and sang
the " Una Voce" and the Rode 's air with variations •with, if
possible, in creased brilliancy, creating a complete furore.
Both these pieces were of course redemanded. Lablache
was the Doctor Bartolo, and we were glad to percei ye that
his recent in disposition had not deprived him of on a jot of
his unctuously rich humour, or of his mar-
vellous activity. Signor Ferranti appeared for the
first time as Figaro, and gave an admirable
version of the part; Ferranti is what we very seldom, see on
the Italian stage in these northern climes, a par excellence
Italian buffo, thoroughly impregnated with the restless
activity and mischievous love afun which is so characteris-
tic of the buffo of Italian opera. His performance
was most amusing, and his singing worthy of all praise
for its admirable correctness and its purity of intonation.
Signor Casanova was the Basilio, and gave "La C4,ninia,"
which we arcs glad to see restored to its place in the opera,
in magnificent style. Calzolari made a sprightly and viva-
cious Almivn va, and sang the music with great tuste and
sweetness. '1 he opera was preceded by the second and third
acts of La ibruta di Portici, in which the acting olf Monti
and the singing of Pardini andiMassol were superb. Between
the acts of the Barbiere, Carlotta Grisi danced the Truan-
daise, and aft er the opera there was the divertissement of the
Cosmopolites. We understand that it is the intention
of Mr. Lu mley to open Her Majesty's Theatre on
the evening' of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for
Soiries Extraordinaires, and certainly the crowded state of
the house on the nights of the regular performance (on the
night of Tuesday, and again last night, for example), not
only justify, but almost demand of him the adoption of some
such plan for the gratification of those strangers at present
in London, w:ho are anxious to avail themselves of perhaps
the only opportunity they may ever have of visiting *the first
lyrical establiuhment in the world.

Her Royaf Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended
by the Baroness de Speth, went to Frogmore yesterday
morning, and returned to her residence, Clarence House,
St. James's, in the afternoon. Her Royal Highness,
accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince of Lei-
ningen, and attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Sir
George Couper, and Lord James Murray, honoured the
Princess's Theatre with her presence last evening.
A. deputation to urge the repeal of the present receipt
stamp tax, or for its reduction to an uniform rate of one
penny, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, at his official residence, Downing-
street. Thu deputation consisted of Mr. Brotherton,
M.P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Messrs. Bradbury, Schofield,
Haekblock, 6irn, aid Christy.
The Right; Honourable Fox Mania gave a dinner to the
Cabinet Min '.sters on Wednesday, at his residence, Clic-
shani-place.

CO interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his
official residence in Downing-street.
The Rev. _Dr. Rogerson had en interview with Earl
Grey at tre: Colonial. office, yesterday.
IiER MA.JEsTY'S aTEIDAY.—To-morrow her
Majesty enters her 32J year (which is her natal day, having
been born on the 24th of llt _y, 1819), but the anniversary
will not be celebrated until Saturday, the 31st instant, at
Court and in the metropolis, so that the usual national de-
moustrations on this auspicious occasion (illuminations, &c.),
will not be made until next week, when it will be observed
as a holiday at the Custom-house and dock companies, the
Excise and Stamp offices (which will also be closed on
Thursday next, de 29th instant—Ascension-day, Whit
Monday ang Tuesday, 9th and 10th of June), all the dif-
ferent public departments at the West-end, icing's and Ilni•
versity Colleges, and the different public aeUls in the me-
tropolis and vicinity—Christchurch, Chelsea, Greenwich,
Woolwich, dkc.
THE CRYSTAL PALACE.--It would seer as if the
genius of invention had presided over the election of the
Exposition Building even to its minutest details, so sud-
denly are unexpected urgencies met by novel means. The
whole of the outer basement and deal-skirting rhick but
now presented a rev and cold surface has, as if by the ma-
gician's wand, becorle a highly granulated wood, of a- rich
and cheerful hue. This has been effected by a most simple
aid—a stain for wont invented by a Mr. Stephens, of Stam-
ford-street, which, while it brings up and preserves the na-
tural vein, converts even the softest-working wood into an
enduring and handsome material, and thus altogether dis-
pensing with tedious, expensive, and artificial graining. The
doors of the Crystal Palace are similarly treated, and being
on a better planed and more choice description of wood,
exemplify the capaiilities of this facile application in a very
satisfactory Manner—Morning Herald.
THE GENERA], ASSEMBLY.---Lord Belhaven, the
Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly, arrived
in Edinburgh on Wednesday. There being, as last year no
access to the Royal apartments in Holyrood Palace, his Lord-
ship is, during the continuance of the Assembly, to reside at
120, George-street The Lord Provost and magistrates, to-
gether with the treasurer, the Dean of Guild, and the Con-
venor of the Trades, dined with his Lordship in the after-
noon, on which occasion the usual ceremony took place of
presenting him, as the representative of her Majesty, with
the keys of the city. Yesterday (Thursday) his Lordship
was to proceed in his private carriage from his residence in
George-street, along Princes-street, by the North-bridge to
the County-hall in the High-street, where he was to hold
the usual preliminary levee. A large party were to dine
with his Lordship at Barry's Hotel, Queen-street, at the con-
clusion of the business in the General Assembly yesterday;
and a drawing-room, we understand, was also to be held. A
second levee is to take place in the County Hall on Saturday.
CAVALRY REGIMENT FOR THE CAPE.—There is no
longer any doubt that a cavalry regiment will shortly be
ordered to the Cape, and take up the troopers of the dis-
mounted Riflemen, orders having been issued to many
cavalry corps now at home to suspend the purchasing of
their remounts, as the horses of the regiment ordered out
cc many
willg
horses be distrib
Asat ised
custom among the cavalry regiments requir-
in. ary on e oasions, reports are in circulation as toup whichthe iss to be the regi-
ment selected for this service, and that which finds most sup.
port is either the 12th Lancers or the 3d Dragoon Guards.
We incline to the former, as heavy cavalry has already been
tried at the Cape. The blue jacket will not be so conspicuous
as the red coat was, and the lance will be a new feature, not
only of great service, but in all probability tending by its
appearance alone to strike terror into the minds of these half-
civilized hordes.. The regiment ordered to the Cape will
not proceed to India, as the expense of conveying them
thence from the Cape would be greater than conveying a
corps from England, as in both cases the transports would
have to sail from home.
