The following bills were considered and ordered for a
third reading :—Land Loan and Improvement Company,
Mid Wales Railway, Stockton and Darlington Railway.
The following bills were read a second time :—Commercial

CHURCH RAMS.

Sir J. TRELAWNY presented 209 petitions in favour
of the total abolition of church-rates, (Cheers.)
Mr. DILWYN presented 117 petitions, Mr. HADFIELD 45,
and other hon. members a large number to the same effect.
Some petitions to the contrary effect were also laid on the
table, and the presentation of these` documents occupied a
considerable portion of the early part of the day.
CHURCH-RATES ABOLITION BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. PACK E made some general observations against the
bill, but the hon. member spoke so indistinctly that he was
quite unintelligible in the reporters' gallery.
Mr. NEWDEGATE moved as an amendment to leave
out from the word " that" to the end of the question, in
order to add the words, "this house will to-morrow re-
solve itself into a committee to consider the propriety of
establishing in lieu of church rates, thenceforth to be abo-
lished, a charge on all hereditaments, in respect of the oc-
cupancy of which church rates hare been paid within the
last seven years ; such charge to be levied with the county
rate at an uniform rate of poundage, the occupier being in
all cases entitled to deduct the amount of the charge levied
on his occupation," instead thereof. Having adverted to
the change that had taken place in the opinions of certain
hon. members with reference to this bill, he said he
would accept as an opinion in favour of the bill the decision
to which the house had arrived on former stages. He
would reat, therefore, ask the house to consider the same
question that had been debated on the second reading of ,
the bill. He believed that the majority of hon. members
who voted for the bill had no de'sire to do away with
the means of maintaining the fabric of the Church ; but he
considered that the church. rates were not a charge on the
person, but on the property of a parish, levied for the
purpose of supporting the Church. That was the
view of some of the most eminent authorities ; and
although he was as desirous as say other person for ob-
taining peace and harmony in Wishes, yet he
nd could
the
assent to the spoliation of the Church a
poor, particularly in rural parisho9 to the ex-
tent of .Z 300,000, for the benefit of the po.se -
sessors of real property. "'tying
refnrreg
Intn
opinions of the late Sir R. Peel and Archdeacon Hale in
support of his opinion, he contended that the attacks the
Liberation Society with respect to church rates a ere dieeceed
against the whole system of a State church, and that their
abolition would do away with the parochial system throughout
the country. (Hear, hear.) He proposed that the rate which
he would substitute for the present impost should be col-
lected with the county rate, and paid to the treasurer
of Queen Anne's bounty. if his amendment were
agreed to, he would leave the bill founded on it to be
brought forward by abler hands, and he believed in the
Home of Lords it would be passed.
cai,C5S seconded the amendment, for he consi-
detad thet if they abolished church rates they were bound
to provide iifi equivalent; He denied that the opposition to
church rates reselfed from Wl' general feeling of the people
at large, and he wished he could tele-stain returns to show in
how many cases the opposition to these rates was straight-
forward and manly, and in how many calve it was the re-
sult of the instigation of the Liberation Society, The Dis-
senters asked theist why they did not adopt the volttntary
system, which worked well with them (the Dissenters), To
that he replied that the voluntary system did not answer
for Dissenters, and that it was totally inapplicable to the
Church of England. It should always be borne in mind
that the latter wart bound to provide church accommodation
for all those who might visit their churches, while the Dis-
senters were hound to supply seats only for their separate
and distinct congregations. Having cited tha authority of
several clerical and other writers, to prove both his state-
ments with respect to church rates,
Mr. HORSMAN contended that the Church of Beg-
land was more interested than even the Dissenters in the
settlement of this question, for he believed that the Church
lost more in the animosities and heats created by the im-
post than it gained by any pecuniary benefit it derived. He
thought, however, after what had already taken place, that
a measure on this subject could only be successful in the
hands of the Government, and not of these of private mem-
bers.
Sir J. TRELAWNY having adverted to the attempts
made to legislate on the subject, agreed that the proposi-
tion of the hon. member for North Warwick (Mr. Newde-
le and operate most unjustly,
gate) would be impractictil'
and if it were attempted to be c:rried out, the result would
be that there would be as gseat en agitation as there
had been with reference to )31;e: isters' money and
the annuity tax. He stood eetwblen two great
parties, but he had no communication with a:d wee en-
tirely independent of them in reference to this matte:7' He
was anxious to have this question settled, as he was til-ed
of it. (Laughter.) He had presented 209 petitions that ,
day, and a large number during the week, which had ocetie
pied him one hour a-day to sign. He considered the best
course to be adopted was to allow the bill to go to the House of
Lords, where it might now stand a greater chance of being
favourably received. He expressed a hope that the Legis-
lature would see the necessity of settling the question
without further delay, and thereby terminating the strife
and heartburnings produced by the collection of an impost
that was regarded as obnoxious.
Mr. HENLEY explained that a speech attributed to
him on this subject had been delivered by Lord Henley.
Lord HENLEY pointed out that the effect of the plan
proposed by the hon. member would be, that the money to
be substituted for church rates would be paid by the owners
of property, and voted by occupiers, which was most objec-
tionable. He pointed out several other objections to the
plan, and contended that any legislation other than the
abolition of the tax would be productive of the greatest evils.
The members of the Church of England were quite able to
support the fabrics of the Church without having recourse
to compulsory taxation, and he quoted various statistics to
show the progress made during late years in the erection of
places of worship by the Wesleyans, Baptists, and other
Dissenting bodies under the operation of the voluntary.
principle. From these considerations he felt bound to sup-
port the bill of the hon. member (Sir J. Trelawny).
Mr. PHILIPS opposed the abolition of church-rates
without some equivalent, and therefore he would vote for
the motion of the hon. member for North Warwick,
although he did not consider his proposition free from
objection.
Sir M. PETO strongly opposed the amendment of the
hon. member for North Warwickshire, and he assured the
house that Dissenters would be content with nothing but
the abolition of the church-rate. With regard to the in-
tentions of Dissenters, ho could also assure the house that
the majority of that great body had no desire to take from
the Church of England
one
were farthingfit.mly to
justly entitled • but theyresolved to resist the
continuance of impost, He conscientiously believed
which she was
that the Church of England would prosper far more
vigorously than she did at present, if that impost were abo-
lished, and she depended for the ma' intenance and extension
of her fabrics on the voluntary principle. In support of
that position he referred to the operation of the voluntary
principle. He stated that the number of sittings in the
churches and chapels of the United Kingdom in 1801, was
under 5,000,000, while in 1851 it amonnted to 10,000,000;
and the actual number of sittings not dependent upon the
voluntary principle was under 200,000. It was a fact that,
within a short space of time, £2OOOOO had been collected
in Calcutta for the repair of Brahmin churches; and ho
asked, were the people of the Church of England less zea-
lous than Hindoos in regard to the maintenance of their
places of worship. He also referred to the state of Canada
in regard to the Church of England, and stated that the
Speaker of the Legislative Council of Canada, who was at
present in England, had told him that since the abolition
of the clergy reserve tax, the revenue of the Church in that
county had nearly doubled. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. P. WATLINGTON opposed the bill.
Mr. EVANS considered that the time had arrived when
the question should be finally settled and as he considered
the bill would have that effect, he would give it his sup-
port.
Lord J. MANNERS said that the great obstacle which
existed to the settlement of this question was the bill intro-
duced by the hon. baronet the member for Tavistock (Sir
J. Trelawny). However, though he retained all his ob-
jections to that bill, he thought it would be better to allow
it to go to the House of Lords, in the hope that a compro-
mise might be effected, and therefore he would oppose the
amendment, to which he strongly objected on other
grounds.
Sir G. GREY said he would defer until they went into
committee any explanation relative to the clauses which he
proposed to move, and which were on the paper.
Mr. MELLOR considered the amendment of the hon.
member for North Warwick was opposed to the good sense
and feeling of the country. He also objected to the propo-
sition of the House of Lords, which was to the effect that
church rates should be a fixed charge, and that it should be
double on those who were willing to pay it, in order to com-
pensate for those who had conscientious scruples to the im-
post. He believed if they did away with those rates, they
would find it would prove beneficial to the Church, for his
own experience convinced him that people valued what
they paid for, and did not much regard what they received
in an eleemosynary form.
Mr. A. MILLS strongly objected to the bill.
Mr. WALTERS considered that there were only two
ways of dealing with this question, the first by doing away
with the effect of the decision in the Braintree case, or
abolishing church rates. He thought there could be no
compromise, and of all propositions for that purpose the
most hopeless was the amendment of the hon. member for
Warwick. As a member of the Church of England he had
no apprehension of the decay of the fabric of the Church
if they depended on the voluntary principle, and therefore
he considered it would bo impolitic to retain in the face of
so much hostility such a contemptible impost as the chut ch
rates.
Admiral WALCOT strongly objected to the bill.
Mr. NEWDEGATE rose to reply; but
The SPEAKER informed the hon. member that he was
not entitled to do so on an amendment.
The house then divided, and the numbers wore—
For going into committee ............ 222
Against ............................ 49
Majority ...................... —173
This announcement was received with cheers.
The house then went into committee on the bill.
Sir M. PETO, in the absence of Mr. T. Duncombe,
moved, at the end of clause 1, to add --Nor shall any ex-
penses, payable out of the proceeds of a church rate, be
henceforth defrayed out of any sum or sums accruing rom
any other rate whatsoever, any law or custom to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
Mr. NEWDEGATE lamented the change that had
taken place in the policy of the members of the front
benches on this side of the house, who not only voted for
the abolition of a church-rate, but against any equivalent
being substituted for that impost. lie Opposed the amend-
ment.

Mr. MOWBRAY, as one of the members alluded
to, defended the course he had pursued, and stated that gen-
tlemen quite as much interested in the Church of England
as the hon. member for North Warwickshire felt placed in
a verypainful position by tho,:ourso that hon. members had
thought fit to pursue in reference to this subject.
Mr. MALINS made a few observations to the same
effect.

After some further discussion the amendment was with-
drawn, and the clause was agreed to. The other clauses
were also agreed to.

Sir G. GREY moved the addition of the following
clauses, and explained that the object which he
proposed Would be to meet cases o badolshiP

- that exit stod in different parts of the country :
The incur nbent and churchwardens of any parish, where
they may t, %link it necessary for defraying expenses which
might have been defrayed out of ch urch rates if such rates
had not been abolished, may, with the consent of the
ordinary, fro' n time to time charge such of the pews or
sittings in t he church of such parish as by prescrip-
tion, faculty, or otherwise are appurtenant to any
messuage or tppropriated to the occupier thereof, or as
have heretofore' been assigned to or commonly occupied by
the occupiers of particular messuages without payment,
with yearly or 'half-yearly rents, according to a scale to
be fixed by suc h incumbent and chnrchwardens, with
the consent aforesaid (and such scale may be varied
from time to tame by the like authority) ; and such
rents shall be pay able to the churchwardens on such yearly
or half-yearly days as the incumbent or churchwardens,
with such consent as aforesaid, shall think proper.
Mr. S. ESTCOURT did not consider that pew rents
were an efficient substitute for church rates, and he opposed
the amendment. _ _

After some observations from Mr. Walter, Mr. Roebuck,
Sir G. Grey , Mr. Walpole, Sir J. Trelawny, and Lord J:
Manners,
Mr. HORS MAN denounced the clause as an expedient
of a most novel', dangerous, and mischievous character.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY hoped the house would hesi-
tate before they refused assent to the principle of the clause.
He considered that Dissenters should be exempted from
church rates, but hot believed it was necessary that there
should be some provi:sion for churches in the country.
After some discussion, the clause was negatived without
a division.

The preamble was tlisen agreed to, and the bill wens
hrough committee.
The house then resumed.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS BILL.
This bill was postponed.
SUPPLY.

The house then went committee of supply, and a vote of
£1,500,000 on account, for the payment of the army, was
agreed to. _ _

-Several other votes on account were also taken.
The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re.
Burned.

INCOME-TAX BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Col. DUNNE hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would give Irish members an opportunity of speaking on
this subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER said that the
report would be brought up to-morrow, and then hon.
members could address the house. If they did not allow
the bill to go through committee to-day, it would delay the
sitting of the House of Lords.

After some discussion the house went into committee,
and the bill passed through.
The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock.

THE FORTHCOMING PRIZE FIGHT FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP.—In consequence of the activity displayed
by the police authorities in dispersing the assemblages of
people gathered together to witness some of the late prize
fights, and their contemplated interference in the pugilistic
contest between Sayers and Heenan, on tho 16th proximo,
the backers of the men, it is understood, have arranged to
cancel the articles of agreement as far as relates to the day
of fighting, with the intention of bringing off the " event"
at an earlier and unexpected date, the place and time of
meeting to be confided to a limited number of " amatears"
of pugilism
the evening previous to the day fixed for the
contest.
