The bills which arrive at maturity to-morrow
the "fourth" of the month, are not supposed to be
terY heavy, and the provision that has been made
has
created little additional inquiry for discount
accommodation ; the market, in fact, has been
scarcely influenced to the extent of per cent. by
loan
~ instalment and other payments which have
"'cell lately made, and owing to the excessive
8111 Ply of capital available for commercial purposes,
itt is imagined that the ternisswill continue for some
time longer a fraction lower than the, present

The Bank directors at their meeting to-day, as
*as anticipated, made no alteration in the terms
cf discount.
The market for English Securities, which opened
rather steadily, has suddenly become depressed,
offing to sales in connection with the settlement.
ttThe market is evidently very unsteady, and
receipt of lower.. prices from the
11448 Bourse seems to: have increased its
Arillesa. The decline has been ito # per cent.
(I.'" the liquidation- is over, the speculative ten-
-11°407 of the operations will be better ascertained ;
bleit it appears that a large amount of stock has
9,7 en carried over. Consols for money have been
i and 97 I. They are now 971 a, and 971
lir the July account, being much flatter. The
ew k 3 per Cents. are 96f ; the Reduced, 96k I ;
,--1,114 the New 2i per Cents., 81. The March Ex-
i'.eqUer Bills are 30s. to 355. prem. ; the Bonds,
°6l ; and India Debentures, 99k.
In the Foreign Stock Market there is scarcely
iltllYthing doing, and prices for the most part con-
ihue nominallynally steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are
,-I.ll° 954 96 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents. remained,
-4744 at 461; Spanish 3 per Cents. improved to
; and Belgian 2i per Cents, to 58. The Bra-
llian Loan is to prem.

STATISTICS OF A Rsviver...— A Sheffield contemporary

214. of Bethel Chapel, where he ministered from Nov.
4111 last year, to January 25, 1858, we find a total of
41'410 persons theus parcelled out :—" Converted from

LAW INTELLIGENCE-I(ilis

t THE MAGAZINES.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
BURROWS V. GORE:
The further bearing of this case was resumed to-day
by Mr. R]lt, Q.C., for the respondent. The learned
gentleman had not concluded hie speeoh when our re-
porter left.

Blackfvood.—"What Will He Do With It" is
chiefly retrospective in this part. For the sake of
impressing an important truth forcibly upon the
mind of Lionel, Colonel Morley goes back far into
the past, and reveals many strange things to his
astonished young friend. Lionel is greatly inte-
rested in the sad narrative brought before his
notice, and fancies he recognises an old friend in
the unfortunate hero of the story ; in fact, no
other than the singularly gifted and strangely
situated old man whom he encountered years be-
fore in the quiet village as Gentleman Wade. The
dark mystery which hung over the forlorn wan-
derer, dimming his path, even when a transient
gleam seemed to enliven it, as a heavy cloud ob-
scures the fairest landscape, is partially accounted
for in the events here recorded. The most in e-
resting passage met with is that which chronicles
the success of the aspiring and some time despair-
ing George Vipont Morley. Triumphing over
physical defects and mental disquietude, he at last
achieved his destiny, than which a nobler cannot
devolve upon man, of conveying to suffering sin-
ners the glad tidings of pardon and peac ~ and
pointing to his fellow-immortals the way to a bet-
ter and enduring city. Darrell, usually so ab-
stracted and careworn, seemed to rouse himself to
regard with interest the success of this enthusiast,
and even to feel some excitement for his welfare.
He appreciated the admirable manner in which he
had been taught. He did not know the master
mind that had directed the high intelligence and
produced the result he admired. ",I see," he ex-
claimed to George, "that you are one of the few
who deem that the Divine Word should not be un-
worthily uttered, all that enforce, dignify, adorn,
make the becoming studies of him, who strives by
eloquence to people Heaven." This will doubtless be
seen hereafter to have been an important instalment.
"The Defeat of the Factions" is an ably written
article, and attracts attention from its referrieg to
the one important topio of the present thy. The
writer states that the "Factions have held their
field-day at the expense of our Indian empire and
the British constitution, and were thoroughly
beaten and humiliated ; they stand self-condeinned
at the bar of the country." In a powerful manner

he relates the chief events of the momentous
struggle, explaining the manoeuvres, exposing the
fallacies, and demonstrating the inconsistencies of
the opposition. It is not often that such
opportunity is given to a commentator on politics
of recording so signal a success for his friends, or
so direful a defeat for his foes, and the reader will
find that the golden opportunity has not been lost.
The remarks on Lord Elenborough render justice
to that distinguished man, whom the sequel of
events has proved so correct in his judgment. It
is observed that oratory has seldom producad any-
thing equal to his speech on the question.
"Parliament never witnessed anything morally grander

than the position and bearing of the noble lord, as, having
thrown down office that he might speak untrammelled, he
stood there pleading with earnest and flashing eloquence
the cause alike of humanity and policy in our vast Indian
realms. He did not stoop to the trivialities and person-
alities of debate. He brushed aside the petty considera-
tions of red-tape and routine. He boldly defended his
policy out and out. He justified both the Despatch and
its publication."

Some time is devoted to the consideration of the
Smith episode, which is truly styled the most. ex-
traordinary that the House of Cora,_nons has wit-
nessed. "The history of the suppressed letters"
will for ever figure among the oauses celebres of the
British Parliament." The last night of the debate
is thus described—
" The House of Commons was crowded—crammed al
perhaps it never was before. There had been a tremendous
" whip" on both sides, and, summoned by electric wire,
members had hurried thither from all parts of the Conti-
nent. The benches could not accommodate the member
and numbers stood on the crowded floor. Around and
above, every gallery was filled with distinguished on-
lookers. Crowds were outside in the Palace-yard ; and
once, but once only, as the members assembled, the crowd
was heard cheering, and in walked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. The Ministerial benches were intensely ex-
cited, but radiant; the Opposition anxious, and unmis-
takeably non-plussed. They knew they were beaten.
Their case had melted away—their orators, too, were ex•
hausted, all but Palmerston ; while not a third of the de-
bating power of the Ministorialists had been called into
Gladstone, Walpole, Kelly, and Dis-
raeli, roused to their highest efforts by the occasion, would
OuildwoC " had still to make its terrible
r, uard
onset—andPa Yhe
‘ B
sweep everything before them, and make the country as
well as the house ring with their lofty and telling oratory."
"The mutiny became general. Mr. Duncombe said "he
had intended to vote for the motion, and hal not disguised
his opinion ; but as the case stood, if Mr. Cardwell perse-
vered in his motion, he would put on his hat and wish
him `good night,' leaving him to the tender mercies of
honourable gentlemen opposite !" At length, after much
consultation held by Mr. Cardwell with Lord John Rus-
sell, Sir C. Wood, and Lord Palmerston, the latter, as
leader of the routed faction, rose (confused, and with the
worst grace he ever showed in his life), and joined in the
appeal that Mr. Cardwell should withdraw his motion
Mr. Cardwell, of course, assented ; and then came the ca-
pitulation. The motion could not be withdrawn without
the permission of the house, an the Minist3rialist leader
was appealed to. The hour of victory had come. Like a
consummate general, Disraeli, to appearance as impaasive
as marble, had watched every feint and move of his
troubled antagonists ; and now, calm and concentrated
amidst his unparalleled triumph, he rose amid deafening
cheers. With a magnanimity which was true wisdom,
and with admirable taste, he said that if he were only to
consult party interests, he should prefer to go on with the
debate, and was quite ready to divide the house on the
motion; but that there were higher interests than those of
party, and that to those higher interests he should bow,
by giving the Opposition the permission they desired. Mr.
Cardwell then, amidst tremendous cheering from the Mini.
sterialists, moved that the vote of censure be withdrawn i"
"May Day" is a most amusing little sketch, which
relates the misadventures of an old gentleman who,
on returning from India, endeavoured to keep
a time-honoured but most inconvenient custom,
and—

" Waked, as the custom was, before the day,
To pay the observance due to sprightly May,"
His diary is most ludicrous, and may well serve to
pass away an idle hour agreeably by itz perusal.
"Religious Memoirs" is the subject of a paper
that contains some very judicious remarks on the
subject of biographies, and expresses opinions which
it would be satisfactory to find more generally dif-
fused, concerning the practice of mixing up religious
writing with the simple observances of daily life,
and rendering ridiculous, by the inconsistency, the
very people they profess to honour.

Of memoir writing so generally adopted, and en-
couraged by a curiosity that calls itself interest,
and that desires to criticise what it professes to de-
plore. The present paper confines itself chieflyto
the review of Me. Hogg's recent volumes, and only
relates to that portion of Shelley's life which ho
narrates. When his concluding volumes are pub-
lished we are promised another essay on the sub-
ject. A paper on the political and social prospects
of the Australian Colonies will be attractive to
those who are interested in our colonial future.
The statistics of its progress, the political constitu-
tion, which is peculiar to itself as a dependency,
the Land Question, and all similar topics are treated
of at length. The recent memoirs of M. Guizet
and Louis Blanc furnish a paper on French social
changes. In speaking of the former the writer
says, "In fact there is no man ou the continent,
and scarcely a man among ourselves, with
whom we can compare M. Guiz A. For the last
thirty years he has led nearly as active a political life
as our own late Premier, Viscount Palmerston, of
whom he is three years the junior ; while for more
than half a century he has led as laborious a
literary life as any literary man of his day. In th %t
timehe has been professor, author, and draunaiist,
translator and reviewer, pamphleteer and historian,
editor and leading-article writer, essayist and
moralist, Master of Requests, councillo: of State,
under-secretary, deputy, and at length minister
and ambassador." Lie subsequently gives us an
interesting sketch of the early life of the statesman
and litterateur. " The men of the Indian
Mutinies" is a paper on some of the melt
prominent men whom the troubles of India have
raised to eminence. It does not suggest much that
is new or striking, and is mainly occupied in de
fending the acts of some of the chief civilians,
whom the public have not regarded with any great
degree of favour. A paper on Matthew Arnold's
Merope has some remarks on the characteristics of
Greek tragedy, but the specimens given of the
modern imitation are not likely to impress the
lovers of true poetry. "Squire _Bolton's Trans-
gression" brings the troubles cf Guy Hathaway
and the pretty Sylvia to a suitable conclus on.
The Albatross is treated of is the usual paper on
Natural History. "A Mutiny of Pr ar nciel
Troops" is the title of a paper taker. from Tacitu ,
drawing a compar'son between. the Bengal muti-
neers and the insurrect on of the Batavi—a warlike
people of Teutonic race, who eedeavoured to throw
off the Roman yoke at the time when Virelltus and
Vespasian were disputing the posso'sion of the
imperial dignity. "Poems from Eversley, a ftpring-
tide study," can scarcely be called a criticism of
Mr. Kingsley's poems, as it is little more than a
tr'bute of admiration. Though many of his briefer
lyrics are full of fire and feeling, we cannot coincide
in the wholesale admiration expressed. There is an
attack on those severecritics who destroy all romance
and tradition to make room for their own un-
graceful substitutes, which may very probably las
overthrown in their turn by the next self-elec ed
champion of the prosaic. The political writer of
Fraser gives Ils an article on Lord Derby's three
month's in power, in which, not being able to prove
his friends right and his adversaries wrong quite so
much to his own satisfaction as usual, he takes
refuge in an ingenious general depreciation of the
Ministry, and a lamentation over the decadence of
the English Parliament.

Bentley's. —Mr. Dudley Costello's story with the
interesting title of '• Faint Heart never won Fair
Lady," proceeds in its accustomed manner and
natrates some events of importance. The good
RAchel is left in a painful predicament, being
suddenly called upon to surrender her adopted
child under very suspicious circumstances. Monks-
hood's " New Book Notes," :treat of Micholet's
History of France in the seventeenth century,
giving an account of the plot for the assassination
of Cardinal R;chelieu, which terminated so fatally
for Auguste Da Thon, son of the historian, and the
young Cinq Mar., the favourite of the King.
There are some s t riking verses entitled" Leontiu., '
addressed to the veteran author of " The Story of
Rimini"—

Dublin.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is the first of
the contents; the story is not so interesting in this
part ; it does not make much progress, relating
chiefly to a quarrel between Gerald and Marietta.
" Froude's History of England" forms the subject
of a most able article, it is written in an itriparlial
manner, and criticises in a fair spirit. Mr. Froude's
style is described " as an Aolian lyre, which is
loud or low, long or short in its utterance, as it is
swept by the varying wind," and it is observed that
the work iu question is " a noble monument of
the English Church and State." " The Times and
the Times" is a short piper which treats of some
social questions, and attaches great importance to
a " free press," which is called the viceroy of a
"free people." It is truly said that " the isola-
tion of England has been complained of by foreign
writers, let it be remembered that it is the isolation
of the freeman from the bondage of the slave."
Many readers will doubtless be pleased to peruse
the article on " Richard Savage," whch is well
worthy of attention. It is true that the theme is
painful, and the interest a mournful one, that at-
taches itself to the subject of these remarks. It is
said that Johnson's friendship for hitn was most
sincere, and his biography only too favourable—

" Lord of our laughter, master of our tears,"
rendering the homage of a cordial admiration
in ♦igorous and expressive language. " The
Diamond Bracelet" is the title of an interesting
story, which is left unfinished, and which turns
like many other tales on the mysterious disappear-
ance of some valuable jewellery. The remains of
Dr. Byrom, otherwise known as John Shadow,
form the subject of an entertaining paper. " The
Lion's Breath," is taken from the work of
Alexandre Dumas, and is somewhat extravagant.
" Thanatos Athanatos," though extending to an
unreasonable length, is full of quaint and pleasant
reading, varied with anecdotes and quotations.
" Imperial Paris," is the title of an article, which
traces the recent improvements and embellish-
ments i❑ the neighbouring capital. " From Delhi
to Cawnpore" is a melancholy recital of the suffer-
ings of au English family in the mutiny of Bengal.
A brief notice of the performances at her Majesty's
Theatre concludes the number.

"When that poor friend had gone to his account,
Johnson gave the woad the Life we speak of, a 9 fresh
and glowing with the morning lightg, and tender hues,
and vivid feeling of his early companionship and love
for him who was mare than a year dead, as if he had
only just parted with him, after a long and delightful
talk and walk, and given him a shake by the hand at
the corner of Fleet-street."
Iu conclusion it is observed that—

Colburn's New Mont My.—" The E krl's Di-
lemma," by the au hor of "Ashley," is a very
clever story, continuing the adventures commenced
in last month's number. In this part we meet with
a very good instance of the extreme dangcr and
difficulty of that liedtating course which so many
adopt. Lord Hartledon was an extreme case, per-
haps, hut there are too many who tread in his foot
steps, and are deficient in moral courage, which is
the true source of strength in all human undertak-
ings. He endeavoured to please all parties, and at
last created so much confusion that the reader will
doubtless learn in a future part that he reaped some
unpleasant consequences. "Buckle's History of
Civilisation" is treated of at some length, and is
regarded with the respect which so eminent a work
merits. It is asserted that " whoever misses read-
ing this book, will miss reading what is, in various
respects, to the best of our judgment and expe-
rience, the most remarkable book of the dao ."
"One Day's Longings," by Mary Mouck, is the
title of some verses that are wry pleasing. The
general ides is expressed in the following :
Then I sighed, " Oh ! for the power
Which the ancient Ma;ii hold ;
Oh ! for this one dab's possession
Of ths fiery spells of old."
I woul 1 free those toiling wretches,
Send them forth to woods and fields,
Till their brows grow smooth and radiant
With the joy that Nature yields ;
To the shell-strewn shores of Ocean,
Where the long swell breaks in foam,
To the wild and pathless mountains
Where the eagle makes his home;
To the margins of great rivers,
Where their weary limbs night rest,
Till the beauty round them lavish'd
Struck a chord in every breast;
Till they lost the grime of labour,
Till they knelt upon the sod,
Soaricg up with souls a wakened
To the mercy-seat of God.

Mr. Bu hhy continues the narrative cf his visit to
Leland last summer, and gives romp entertaining
pictures of life and manners in those wild northern
regions. The next subject we meet is a very at-
tractive one—" Thomson as a Poet of Nature."
In treatine, of his capacities in this departm,:nt of
his art, the critic renders him that unqualified
praise which is his duo. The writer remarks with
justice on the strong and widely-diffused love of
poetry which is a characterist:c of the English
people. "A people in whom the love of poetry,
and especially the poetry of Nature, is so strong, is
assuredly very far from appro:tehing that down ward
path iu the career of nations, one of the indications
of which is often exhibited in the extinction of the
imagination." Many extracts are given from the
beautiful scenes in the " Castle of Indolence." In
conclusion, he says :

" We would deliberately Bay that hiEtory, or biogra-
phy, the colours on the painter's canvass, or the cuttings
of the seu'ptor's chisel, the poet's flight, or the tracings
of the pencil, have never produced or perpetuated any
record so mournful :—nor is there any aunal-so dark, or
any memoir so full of heart-broken misery, as that of
poor, unhappy, gifted, Richard Savage."
" Rome and Her Rulers" relates to the work re-
cently published by Cardinal Wiseman, it renders
a tribute to the manner in which he has achieved
his task, but suggests to the reader that in the pre-
late's descriptions they see but one side of the pic-
ture. " Novels for Infancy, Manhood, and Second
Childhood," give rise to some rell.?.c,ions, in which
the writer is hardly fair to female novelists. " The
Cobbler and the Round Tower " is an amusing
tale in verse, which chronicles the unfortunate
events that bofel a man who maintained a character
for wisdom.

Thomson is a poet for all time. His productions aro
the creations of a mind of exquisite sensibility, and pure
as the morning dew. Ho is emphatically the poet of Na-
ture as she manifests herself in England, and her people
will turn to him with increased sympathy and affection us
often as, seduced for a season into the admiration of some
unworthy professor of the divine art, they regain the purity
of their taste and return to the living fountains which
have been so abundantly opened up for thorn ; or, to
adopt the imagery which Thomson has so well employed
iu his Castle of Indolence, as often as, released from the
magic spells of some false enchanter who may have bound
and held them captive for a while, they are reawakened to
the superior attractions of simplicity and truth.
" Tho Autobiography of Ernest Mitterkamp" is
continued • and au intere3ting tale, entitled "The
Will Fowl Hunter," follows. A criticism on Ma-
dame de Pontes' recent work on " The Poets and
Poetry of Germany," renders that lady due credit
for her arduous undertaking. " The Provisionali
Government" takes a glance at the position of
France in 1848, and terminates the list of articles.

Fraser.—Fraser's Magazine this month does not
present any special attractions. There are some
interesting subjects and some articles that will
repay perusal, but the general effect is somewhat
tedious. One of the most attractive papers is the
opening one, a criticism on the recent memoirs of
Shelley, by a friend and companion of the poet.
The introductory remarks on the mania for literary
biographies, which is now so common, are just and
forcible, rcible, The fact of an individual having pub-
some volumes of prose or verse does not autho
rise these totally unconnected with him to intrude
not only on the actions and events of his life, but
on. his private thoughts and feelings, his preferences,
his aversions, his weaknesses and foibles. If a
writer is in the habit of publishing his sentiments
on some topics to the world, the natural inference
to be drawn from his silence on other. 4, is that he
do,,s not wish them to be publicly discussed and
tly
It is with regret that we gee this system

The United Service.—A paper on "Our Position
in India, with a glance at our recent operations',"
is the first to meet the reader. The writer seems
to consider that we must maintain in India a sys-
tem of stern repression—that the slightest relaxa-
tion of severe military discipline will be fr 'lowed
by another outburst, and that those who advocate
a more merciful code are only &sinus ofsmootiling
the way to our ultimate surrender of all right to
govern. We cannot coincide with the opinions of
the author, or admire the vehemence with which
he upholds them. A paper on " Ports and Aggres-
sion" deserves perusal, and suggests some subjects
to the consideration of those in authority It comes
to the conclusion that " wo ought by this tiin
have had a harbour for our millions spent; and the
to
the
cor)s,iquences of our want of energy, in case of a
more serious condition of continental politics,
may
be to the people of this kingdom a, source ofMoraji-

Indian defences. Another article, on " The Gazette
of Blood," refers to the fearful list of deaths and
murders chronicle l itt the London Gazette of the
6th May. It is, ind, ed, a fearful record of the
crimes and suifelings of humanity.L;eutenant-
Colonel Alexander's reminiscences of a visit to the
Chinese Empire are continued with its accustomed.
entertainment. Fukien and Hong Kong are plea-
santly described. " The Navy, its -Paint, L two,
I and Customs," is the title of a paper treating of
many points of naval management and discipline
which are capable' of improvement. An article on
the merits of the various routes to the Pacific gives
a list of the rival designs that have ben proposed
for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and
arrives at the conclusion that the Nicaragua Canal
is the mist feasible and advantageous. A review
of "Marshal Marmont's Memoirs" brings to -a

" The Sepoys and the landholders of Ou le," is
the tile of an extract from a letter from an officer
on the spot, " who has pasied through the dif-
ferent stages of the revolt." He says that the re-
settling of Oude w 11 be a very difficult bu-iness„
and among other mistskes at the time.of the an-
' nexation of Oude, he asserts that the title-deeds of
the chieftains and others holding large property
were too severely scrutinised. It would have been
wiser, he says, to have left them as we found them
in,tead of going back for years and years to find
out the rightful owner and dispossess the land-
holder who had owned them fur along period.

OPPOSITION TO THE LONDON CORP°.

RATION BILL.

A copy of tho following has been sent to the
Town Clerk of every Corporation in the King-
dom ;

GUILDHALL, May 29, 1858.
Sir,—l am desired by the Corporation of Lon-
don to request you will call the attention of your
corporation to a bill now pending in Parliament,
which, while it merely affects to regulate the Cor-
p Jration of London, attempts not only to destroy
Vie powers of usefulness of that body by confisca-
ting its inetage dues, but establishes a principle,
which, if permitted to prevail in this case, may be
engrstted at any future period upon the general
Act by which all other Municipal corporations in
the country are now governed.
The act, to which this bill professes to be assimi-
lated, so far from abolishing any of the local dues
belonging to the several corporations included with-
in its operations, recognises all such dues in express
terms as part of their legitimate property.
Under the present bill these dues, which the
Corporation purchased from the Crown, and has
enjoyed upwards of 600 years, are propol to be
taken away without consent or compensation, by
an act of power on the part of the Imperial Parl'a-
ment of England, which has recently exhibited to
the world its extrem3 sensitiveness upon questions
affecting the feudatory and proprietary tights of in-
dividuals and communities in the most distant
parts of the globe in which the power of the British
Parliament is felt.
The accompanying papers set forth in a few sen-
tences the title of the Corporation to metage dues,
and its reasons why they should not be confiscated
by Parliament.

In order that this subject may be fully under-
stood by the members of ycur municipal body, I
have sent by this post a number of copies of these
documents, that you may circulate them among the
members of your corporation
It is not pretended by the promoters of the bill
that the Corporation of London, during the six
centuries it has possessed these revenu.ss, has ever
abused its trust ; on the contrary, the Crown Com-
missioners, who, iu 1834, and again in 1854, insti-
tuted a most inquisitorial investigation into its cor-
porate affairs, reported that they had not been able
,o discover any act of corruption or malversation
on the part of the corporation or its officero.
Tue tttle of the corporation to these dues cannot
t.,0 disputed; if it were otherw!se, it ought to be
done before the proper tribunals established in this
country to inquire into all questions affecting the
righ's and wrongs of persons and property within
the jurisdiction of the British laws.

Teo attempt to deprive the coil) Iration of Lon-
don of this ration of its property by legislative
instead of j udicial means, is based—it is understood
—upon thr.2.3 principle;, which, if recognised by
Parham, nt will be subversive of all corporate rights'
and prove dange:ous to every description of pro-
petty, i❑ whatever hands it may be found.
1. It is said that incorporeal sonic s of revenue,
such as metage dues, port dues, town dues, tlrc.,
are not entitled to the same protection and secu-
rity as rents and revenues derivable from corporeal
and tangible estates.

2. It said that even if these inoorporeal sources
of revenue are to be protected in the bands of
noblemen, lords of manors, and other fortunate
holders of royal grants ot this description, yet they
are not sacred in the hands of corporations, and
may be dealt with as Parliament thinks fit.
3. If from the increase of population—if from
the altered value of money, properly in the hands
of a ryllenia.ri or gentleman increases enormously
in amount, he is congratulated as a fortunate matt,
and neither the Legislature nor the law assumes
the right either to curtail his possessions or to in-
qu re how he is pleased to dispose of them. But it
is pretended that municipal carporatiens ought to
be governed by a difrirent principle, and that the
amount and mole of appropriation of revenu,,s p
chrised and possessed by corporations are legitimate
subjects of inquiry at any time when, for any rea-
,:on, it is proposed to pet cure their confiscation.
The Crown Connnissionors %rho investigated the
conduct of the Corporation in 1854, after pro-
nouncing both members and officers free from the
charge of misconduct, avow this principle of action;
for, without impugning the title of the Corporation
or its rightful appropriation of the motage dues,
they propose their abolition, because, as they say
in their report, the Corporation will, after their
confiscation, have enough left for purposes of pub-
lic us; fulness, as well as for what they are pleased
to describe, as the means of 't decent hospitality and
splendour."
When the. G-overament desired to revoke the
Duke of Richmond's right to Is. a chaldron dues
upon all coals exported from the Tyne and consumed
in England—when the Government wished to re-
take the Duke of Grafton's dues on all wine brought
into the port ot Landon, the Government did not
issue inqui,,,itorial commissions to inquire when and
where, and how and by what 'Means, and from
whom and for what valuable Considerations these
noble dukes acquired these revenues, nor did they
inquire their former or present amount ; s.ill less
was it asked how they spent the money, what was
the amount of their other possessions, or, if the coal
and wine dues were taken away without compensa-
tion, what means they would have of sustaining the
"decent hospitality and splendour" of their station.
If the Government had attempted, or Parliament
had sanctioned such inquiries, with the intention
of abolishing those dues, a cry of spoliation and
confiscation would have teen echoed by the pro-
perty classes throughout the realm. T here can be
uo doubt but that every peer, every lord of a manor,
and every other person in the realm posses sing

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.---(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at 5 o'clock.

SECOND READINGS.

Oa the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following
bills were read a second time :—Rty's Estate ; Balby
and Worksop Road ; Alyth Railway ; and Brentiord
GAO.

Lord PORTMLN presented a petition from 3,500
inhabitants of Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich, in
livour of an equalisation of the poor-rates.

Earl sr. GER&LAINS called the attention of their
lordships to a motion that had f some time
stood upon the paper. It involved a number of
questions, one of which related to the death o'
Mr. Sullivan, at Lima, another reflected very much
upon Sir J. Brooke, and went so far as to
say that the conduct of that gentleman had been such a,
to desecrate the name of England throughout the East.
He thought it highly inconvenient such notices should
remain on the paper if there was no intention of putting
the question.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said no doubt such a
circumstance was inconvenient, but he did not think
there was any remedy. He knew other notices to have
remained much longer on the paper than that allt.ded
to by the noble earl.
Lo EDESDALE was of a similar opinion.
The Earl of STANHOPE defended his noble friend
(Lord Kingston) from the observations which the ques-
tion that stood at present in his name had given rise to.
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.
Lord LYTTELTON gave notice that on Thursday
next he should put a question to her Majesty's Govern
meat as to whether it was intended to carry further the
princ;p!e of competitive examination of candidates for
the Civil Serjice.
THE PAROCHIAL REGISTERS BILL.

On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, this
bill was read a second time, -the object of which was
to place the registers of dissenting congregations on the
same footing as to giving evidence in a court of jut-
tice as those of the Established Church. The law, as it
at present stood, did not admit the right of dissenting
registers to give evidence.
