INCOME TAX.

Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that he should next session
call the attention of the house to the subject of the direct
taxation of the country, with a view to a modification of the

income tax.

SUPPLY.

The report of votes in supply was brought up and re-
ceived.

THE KING OF 017 DE'S ALLOWANCE.

On the motion that the house resolve itself into commit-
tee of supply!

Mr. BAILIJIE said he wished to know what the sum
which the Indian Government proposed to allow to the de-
posed King of Oude. After the manner in which that
prince had been treated by the Indian Government, having
been deprived not only of his territory, but his private pro-
perty—his carriages, clothes, jewels, and everything belong-
ing to him having been sold—it was proper that at least
some allowance should be made to him, and he wished to
know from his hon. friend what allowance it was proposed
to make to him.

Sir C. WOOD said that not having received notice of the
question, he was not then in a position to give an answer.
In reply to a question by Col. FRENCH,

Mr. S. HERBERT said that the present pattern knap-
sack with stick was sealed on the 11th of May, 1857. It
had been previously tried by regiments and depots at
home. The stick was introduced on the recommendation
of Lieutenant-General • Sir G. Wetherall, then Adjutant-
General, the idea having been taken from a Swiss knap-
sack. The knapsack being an article of necessaries the
property of the soldier,- the addition of the stick to the
pack was made by degrees by the men at the recommenda-
tion of the Adjutant-General. The knapsacks were sup -
plied by the Government to recruits only, and for this
purpose contracts were entered into with certain tradesmen
for the new pattern of 1857.

RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.

In reply to Col. DUNNE,

. .
Mr. S. HERBERT said that the report of the commis-
sioners on recruiting for the army would be laid on the table
•f the house, if possible, before the end of the present ses-
sion of Parliament, but if not, early next session.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL.

On the order for resuming the consideration of this bill,
Sir G. BOWYER moved that the debate be adjourned
until the Attorney-General and other learned gentlemen
were present. The first clause had been introduced by a
blunder; and if the debate were continued it would pro-
bably last till six o'clock.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the Aderney-General
had been obliged to go away, but his learned friend had
told him that he was astonished at the want of judgment
which those showed who objected to the first clause.
(Laughter.)
After some discussion the house divided—

Captain STACKPOOL moved the adjournment of the
house.

Sir G. BOWYER, in secohding the motion, stated that
he had told some of his friends that they might go home,
in consequence of an admission of the Solicitor-General that
it was too late to take the bill.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL denied that he had ever
made such a statement. The hon. gentleman was under a
complete delusion, perhaps owing to the lateness of the
hour. (A laugh.)

Mr. LAING observed that if the motion were carried he

Government proposed the house should sit on Saturday at

THE ATTEMPTED RESCUE FROM THE

AGAPEMON

The following account of the attempt made by
the Rev. Mr. Price to rescue his wife from the
" Abode of Love," which we briefly reported in our
impression of Wednesday last, is from the Western
Counties _Herald :

"The latest seceder from the Agapemone, the Rev.
Lewis Price, is determined not to lose his wife and
her fortune of £6,000 without a struggle, and in
that resolve he will assuredly be supported by
public opinion. Having freed himself froth the
thraldom and delusions of Henry James Prince, the
Welsh curate is using his best exertions to free his
lady also. Mr. Price quitted the Abode of Love in
the early part of this year, having been previously
seperated from his wife by the Beloved's' directions
some six weeks. In May last we recounted the
fruitless efforts the husband had made to get
possession of his spouse, and the fact that be-
fore a judge in chambers she had declared that
she was not detained in the Charlinch residence
against her inclination. Since that time Mr. Price
seems to have quietly submitted to his deprivation,
but the decision of the Vice Chancellor in the case of
Nottidge v. Prince' has aroused him once more to
exertion. It is no secret now that Price was a man
of no property when Harriet Lancaster Nottidge
was informed by Prince it was the will of God'
she should take the Welshman for her husband, and
that the £6,000 he acquired by his marriage has
been transferred to the imposter who asserts that
he is the Holy Ghost. Any proceeding Mr. Price
may take for the recovery of his wife's fortune must
be materially affected by her evidence, and to the
ordinary motive of affection for his lady there is
thus added the desirability of obtaining her aid and
testimony in favour of a suit against the man she
now regards as her spiritual—saviour. Former
watchings outside the house and grounds, with a
policeman within hail to prevent a breach of the
peace, having proved unavailing, Mr. Price made
a bold attempt to get possession of his wife on Fri.
day last, with the help of three stout men, not offi-
cers of the law. On the night preceding the adven-
ture he slept at the Lamb Inn, adjoining the insti-
tution of which ke waq formerly an inmate. Accord-
ing to arrangement his three assistants arrived at
Charlinch from Bridgwater in a fly, between four
and five o'clock in the morning, their mission being
to protect him from the fury of the Agapemonites.
He forthwith scaled the gates, entered the grounds,
and secreted hitsself near the conservatory, which
he was aware Nrs. Price was accustomed to visit,
his backers remaining in the roadway ready to obey
his call. Time wore on, and nothing particular
transpired till abut nine o'clock, when the watchers
heard Mr. Price lay several times, ' I will have you
Harriett.'
Thii exclamation was followed by a
piercing shriek if
' murder,' uttered by a female
voice, and the trie at once jumped over the rails in
' front of the laundry, and over the second gate leading
to the grounds of the Agapemone. Here they
were met by tweety or thirty persons who stopped
' their further prcvess, insisted that they had no
business on thosi premises,' and in reply to their
assertions that
they had business there because
they had heard same one crying Murder,' ordefed

it was that she cried out Murder, and threw her-

given
the Agapemonites came out in full force with
astonishing prohistitude. Part of their number

though asstrong and determined man, he was no
match for thirtt
4 or forty opponents. The arch-
Agapemonite,
iince himself, was not present at
the melee. The‘ can be little doubt that the dwel-
lers in the Abodi of Love had got scent of what was
about to take
P-43e. Information as to the waiting
horse and fly, Ind the strange men sauntering
about was probably conveyed to them, and mea-
sures at once tarn to defeat the project evidently
on the point of king put in motion. Near half-
past six in the nbrning a dozen or more labourers
and haymakers left the Agapemone, apparently
with the intentib, of pursuing their avocations
in the fields of the farm. An hour later one of
the carria
Fes vitt two horses attached quitted
the Aboas' and its errand must have been to
bring back the labourers by another route, for
when the Perhd for action arose all the
labourers, who had been seen to leave, were in the
grounds to driveout Mr. Prica and his coadjutors.
That the design Vas discovered is also clear from the
rapidity with which they mustered when Mrs.
Price shrieked, fir they were out before the three
men in the roadjconld get half a-dozen yards, and
are described ra having swarmed like bees in a
second of time.' Mr. Price, though several times
defeated; does nit seem to be a man easily daunted.
We wish him mire success in his next essay. He is
convinced that e he can release his wife from the
influence of Prbce, he can shake her belief in the
delusions she new credits. If she be made of the
same stuff as h 4 deceased sister, Louisa Jane Not-
tidge, this wilt be a more difficult task than he
imagines, for it will be remembered that the rela-
tives of that lady tried every means to disabuse her
mind of the molstrous notion that Prince was God
Almighty, and had eventually to place her in a
lunatic asylum,for the two-fold purpose of dissi-
pating her mad belief in an impostor, and keeping
her out of his hutches. They were unsuccessful.
Whether Mr. Plice will be more fortunate remains
to be proved. IA more resolute attempt to release
Mrs. Price frog the Agapemone was to have been
made on Mondly night or Tuesday morning; but
it was ascertain d, after every arrangement had been
made, and Mr. 'rice and his helpers were on their
way to the seine of operations, that the lady had
been removed lom the Agapemone. Whither she
had been taken
remains at present a mystery."
