his willingness to allow the Govern-
ment to nominate the other Members, and the further pro-
ceedings vre.e postponed until Friday, when Lord J. Russ Em.
will propose the other Members.
The House having again reSolvel itself into a Committee
upon the Ecclesiastical Titles' Assumption Bill,
Mr WALPOLE stated the course he 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 he did not consi •er es-ential to the
proper working of the me tsure 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 t niteu Kingdom—words which extended the prohibition
to the obtaining h.reafter, 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,
. _

Committee.

Mr. 1% ALFOLE, finding he did not receive the support he
had anticipated, withdrew his amendment.

Mr. M'Cut.f.Aott 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 Cat holic dean of any deanery, by any of her
MAJESTY'S superior courts of law or equity.
This amendment was negatived by 291 a.,,ainst 45.
Mr. Moons moved another amendment in he same dance,
to insert, after " the United Church of England and Irelan ,"
the words " as long as the said Church khan continue to be
the United Church of England and Irela d," which was nega-
tived by 240 against 36.
On the motion of Mr. REYNOLDS, the Chairman reported
progress,
and bad leave to sit eg iin on Friday.
The Prisons Scotland) Bill passed through Committee.
The other motions having been gone through, the [louse
adjourned at a
Quarter to One o'clock.

A very discreditable attempt was last, night made a
o get rid, in an underhand manner, ef deliberate
vote of the House of Commons, and to disappoint tte
reasonable expectations of the people. Happily, how-
ever, for the character of the representative branch of
the Legislature, this attempt, more worthy of an Old
Bailey practitioner, than of a member of a body , f
English gentlemen, constituting the first deliberative
assembly in the world, signally failed, and tee
eineechnerrt of--the Honourable Member for Boston,
that "the order for the nomination of a Select
Committee.on the Property and Income-tax should
be read for the purpose of being discharged," was ne-
gatived by a meiotic), of 99—there being 94 for, arid
193 against the proposition. We do not by an)
means contend that it is not competent for the House
to reconsider a resolution which it had hastily and
improvidently adopted. A matter of considerable
importance, involving very serious consequences to
the nation, might possibly pass without full
discussion, and with comparatively empty
benches. Such was the resolution prematurely
carried respecting the postal arrangements of the
country in the interval between the running of the
Derby and the 04ks in the session of 1850. It
could not for a moment be asserted that that resolu-
tion had received the calm and deliberate approval of
a majority cf the popular representatives. On the con-
trary, it was known that the stringent regulations
adopted in consequence were exceedingly distasteful
to at least four-fifths of the Members of the Commons
House of Parliament, and to a still larger proportion
of persons out of doors. Many even of those who
had voted in favour of the Sebbatariane without
sufficient reflection perceived the inconveniences
necessarily resulting from the carrying 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 last night was, however, of a totally
different character. The amendment, of which the
Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose had given
ample notice, was one respecting which the deepest
interest was felt throughout the entire country. 'The
injustice and inequality of the assessment of the in-
come. tax was loudly complained of by those who
found that the hard earnings of their physical or
intellectual labi,urs were taxed 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 be so modified as to be
rendered, if not exactly equitable, at least as closely
approxinos, km thereto as, under the circumstances of
the caul., could be achieved. The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHt QUER, however, persevered, with unreasoning
oha.inacy, in maintaining the objectionable system
without change or alteration. He gravely put for
ward the grossest fallacies, and argued upon them
as if capable of mathematical demonstration, and re
ceiving an all hut universal assent, in place of an
almost unanimous condemnation ; and "the conclusion
at which he arrived" was, that as the matter could
not he assorted with the utmost nicety, as perfection
could not be attained, no effort should be made to
mitigate the evils, or to remove the grievances that
pressed so onerously on the people. The veteran
JOSEPH House, however, at length grappled with the
subject ; bis own views were singularly clear and
well defined : he could easily have embodied his
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
'hard-headed Protectionist, wanting to bring back a
bread-tax, and every out-and-out Ministerialist must
lee 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
:barge upon terminable and perpetual annuities,
told upon fluctuating and varying incomes from
trades and professions, as upon fixed incomes from
r eal property, could not be greatly modified or altogether
removed." This was the motion which was brought
for ward on the 2d of May, and carried by a majority
of' lFourteen in an unusually full House, in which 478
Members were present.

" Since 1 have been in power, I have proved bow much,
in presence of the great: nterests of society, I set aside all
that affected me personally. The most unjust and the most
violent attacks c.uld not shake my equanimity. Whatever
may be the duties which the country may impose upon me,
it stall find me resolved to obey its will; and, be asiured,
gentlemen, that France shall not perish in my hands."
This speech was received with the must enthusiastic
applause.

At ten o'clock the PRESIDENT went to the grand bal
given in the theatre, which he.opened with the wife o
ale Prefect.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris j,)urnals of yesterday.
The Moni•eur publishes the following telegraphic dis-
pAtchea rFlative to the journey of the P
RESIDENT of the
Republic:—

' " Tonnere, June 1, a Quarter past Eleven.
" 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 I, Five
.in the Evening.
"The train which carried the President of the Republic,
the President of the National Assembly, the Vice-President
of the Republic, the Ministers, the Vice-Presidents of the Na-
tional Aaseinbly, arid the persons invited, arrived at Dijon at
three o'clock. An itnitiense crowd thronged round the sta-
tion to witness the benedic,ion 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 splendid ban quet was prepared for him, M.
Dom, the President ot 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 &Nolte, 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, n ia sensibly touched with the
honour which you have done it in visiting it a second time.
" La t year you came to fudge for yourself of the wants of
our population, and in scarcely a year from that da•e, 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 ates 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-
tarsi!, and commercial interests of Burgundy, and when in
the future it shall reap all the advent tges 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 and reli-
gious solemnities of this uay the double prestige which at-
taches to your person.
"You are not only, Prince, the heir of the name which
car fed the glory of France to the highest pitch, but also
with a firmness and an abnegation which only belongs to
great minds and superior courage, you have arrested in their
violence passions ready to rend the country asunder.
" Honour to you, Prince, for such a g eat benefit, and let
us hope that the nation, in the exercise of i s sovereignty,
will find the best expression fur its gratitude."
'rho PRESIDENT e. pli. d as tarliiw.:--
" 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 fur themselves of the true
slate 01 public opinion.
"They would have seen that neither intrigues, nor the
attacks, nor the passioeate discussions of parses are in bar-
meny with the sentiments and with the condition of the
country.
"France neither desires the return of the anekTZ regime,
under whatever form it may dieguiae itself, nor the experi-
ment of sad nd im, racticable Utopian schemes.
It is because I bra tha must natural enemy of both one
and the other that Fiance has placed confidence in me. If
this were not the case, how could we explain the affecting
sympathy of the people towards me, which resists the most
subversive polemics, and which acquits me of being the cause
of their sufferings-
"lf my Government has not been able to realize all the
ameliorations which it had in view, we must attribute the
failure to the manoeuvres of the factions, who paralyse the
good intentions of Assemblies as well as that of G ve merits
most devoted to ,the public welfare. It is because you have
thus comprehended the state of the question that I have bad,
in patriotic Burgundy, a reception which is for me an appro-
bation and an encouragement.
" I take advantage of this banquet as of a tribune, to ex-
hibit, to lay bare my heart before my fellow-citizens. A
new phasis has commenced in our political life; from one
end ot France to the tither petitions are being signed for the
revision of the Constitution. I await with confidence the
manifestaions of the country and the decisions of the As-
sembly, which.will be inspired only by the sentiment of the
public iuterest.

Lord CAMPBELL intimated that theCAS

opinion on air. Roebuck's applica.ion, with reference to Mr.
Bather's case. to-morrow morning.
The Court was engaged the whole of the day with a dry
Chancery case, which presented no feature of public interest.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
LONDON GASLIGHT COMPANY.
Ur. 11. Mu. applied to the Court for d mandamus directed
to the Judge of the Brompton County Court, requiring him
to hear a pliint of the London Gaslight Company. In 1844
the company contracted to supply a iqr. Linstead, of Brornpton,
with gas, at the rata of 6s. per thousand, and that person
beit g indebted to the company in 21. or 31. under that con-
tract, the company issued a summons against him in the
Brompton County Court. At the hearing of the case the de-
fendant took an objecion to the jurisdiction of the court, on
the ground that one of the p ()visions 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.

ESt,X SILSSIONS.
(fills DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGZ.)
The June General Sessions were op ened Ors mor-ing at
the Court House, Clerkenwell-green. There are fifty pri-
a nsrs for trial.
Henry Hutchinson, aged 22, a smith, was indicted for
stealing tour coppers from diffecent houses in Hoxton. He
was met by a policemat in Old-street-rood, at six o'clock one
morning last week, carrying a bag, which seemed to the
constable, from the sharp bulging in different parts, to con-
tain large pieces of broken metal of some kind He ques-
lioned the prisoner, who said he did n 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 :•everal coppers were identities by the owners of the
houses, 6, 7. 8, and 9. Park street, Sotton, in whin street
the prisoner lived, his mother being a housekeeper.
Art i,on-moulder, working in the sire etnplo3ment with
the prisoter, and lodging in his mother's house, gave the
pris ner an excellent 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 not go out before six in the
morning.

Tne fury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced
to nine months imprisonment and hard labour.

COTTON. The market has been quiet.
TEA.—A moderate business has been done.
TOBACCO —The sales of Western Strips to which we di-
rected attention on the Ist instant, and subsequent opera-
tions, both speculative and by the trade, may oe estimated
at fully 2,700 !Ads. Advices by the last packet fully c,,n-
firm the previous intelligence relative to severe frosts bay-
ing occurred on the nights of the Ist and 2d. instant, by

whiCh'''.3liii- loathes and abhors. Every speech,
every look, every gesture was perfect, and her delineation
of the excess of mental and physical suffering teas so true to
nature as to be almost painful to witness. The avowal of
her love to iEtione was given with a feeling of deep emotion
that was exceedingly beautiful ; grandly, sublimely impas-
sioned was her declaration of love to Hyppolite, and'agoriis-
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 sublimely
given ; indeed, as a whole, Rachel herself has never acted
Phedru better than she did last evening. She was called on
repeatedly during the course of the performance, and again
at the conc;u:ion, when her reception was most enthusia.tic.
der brother, M. Raphael. was the Hyppolite. He has made
great advances in his art, and is now an excellent actor. The
theatre was well and fashionably attended.

THE GREA'T EXHIBITION.
(TEIS DAY.)
From the crowds as-embled pound the dcors of the Crystal
Palace before its opening. we should say that to-day will be
one of the mos 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 shillii.g days, as it is on that day that
the working classes take their holiday; hit, apparently,
they are de armload to take holidays tor the sole purpose of
vieoing the Exhibition, as we observed great numbers of
them among the crowd this morning.
The numbers yesterday were about 45,000, and the receipts
