CHURCH RATES.

Sir J. TRELA.WNEY asked if it was the intention
of the Government to oppose the first reading of his
abolition of Church Rates Bill to-morrow. A noble lord
on the Opposition benches had intimated he should
make no opposition to the first reading.
Sir G. GREY said he should not oppose the first
reading of the hon. baronet's bill.
OATHS BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL moved the second reading of the
atths Bill

Sir F. THESIGER said it wag not his intention to
offer any opplsition to the second reading of this bill.
He concurred in the proposed change in the Christian
oath, and, adhering to his former principle, he assented
to the second reading of the bill on the understanding
that he or some other hon. member would in committee
move the omission of the clause relative to the proposed
Jews' oath. (Hear.)
Mr. NAPIER said the question had been raised in
the least objectionable form in the bill. He intimated
th 4 he should not oppose its second reading, but reserve
to himself the right of opposing any ()felts clauses in
committee.

Mr. HASSA.RD gave a general support to the bill.
He, however, objected to the words in it declaring that
no pope, or foreign poteetate, has, or ought to have, any
spiritual or otrer jurisdiction in this country, knowing
that everyday experience showed the contrary.
After some remarks from Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Collier,
and Mr. Bagwell,
Lord J. RUSSELL Paid he should be glad to see
one oath both for Roman Catholics and Protestants,
instead of two as at present. His attempt on a former
occasion to frame ciao oath for both was defeated by the
Protestant jealousy of the hou,e. He feared the day
was distant before Par!iament would be induced to
make such an alteration in the law. He considered the
words objected to had not the bearing hon. members
considered. When be took the oaths he did so with
the belief that the Garen was the supreme bead of the
nation, and that no laws could have authority in this
country in which they did not take a part.
Mr. M'AIAUON said they ought not to continue a
phraseology in the oath that was ikeultiog to everybody.
It imputed opinions to persces which, in all probability,
they had never entertained.
Mr. WALPOLE considered that oaths should be
administered in the most imposing'manner possible.
There was something cutnbr .ue in the present form
which was remedied is the noble lord's bill, to which,
therefore, he should give his assent.
After some further discussion, the big was read a
second lime.

LADY HA.VELOCK'S AND SIR HENRY

Since Saturday the imports of foreign wheat have ; nevertheless, Mon-
amounted to 4;z20 quarters. There was more firmness on
the part of the importers; but the business doing was
limited, on former terms. Fins barley was in fair request
at full prices. Grinding and distilling torts met a dull
inquiry at the late decline in value.
We bad a vory inactive demand for malt, at barely sta-

Although the supply of oats wasonly moderate, the oat

RAILWAY INTELLIGEACE.

BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND LEEDS.
The report of the directors of this company states that
the expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June last
amounted to £221,695. The revenue account shows that
the actual net earnings of the railway for the three months
ending the 30th of June last were £2,691, the interest on
loans £976, leaving £715 for dividend. A dividend of 44
per cent. per annum will absorb £1,673, and leave £42.
The directors state that there are some claims by this com-
pany on revenue account from the two companies working
the line, which are objected to by those companies, and
which will, in all probability, have to be settled by arbitra-
tion. All such matters are kept out of the quarter's re-
venue accounts, and therefore the account named as being
available for dividend is free from uncertainty, and the
directors expect that a material addition will be made to
the balance whenever a final settlement be made with the
two companies. The contest between the Great Northern
end the London and North-Western Company had deprived
them of nearly the whole of the passenger traffic between
the West Riding and London.

EXETER AND EXMOUTH.

The report of the directors states that although by the
act of last session a very ma►erial change has been effected
in the course of the line and the relations of the shareholders
with other companies, yet the main feature of the under-
taking—viz., that of a line of railway between Exeter and
Exmouth—remains unaltered. By a clause in the act it is
required that the company shall, on or before the 31st of
October, 1859, either open the railway for the public con-
veyance of passengers, or prove to the satisfaction of the
Board of Trade, that the company have paid up
one-half of the amount of the company's capital of
£50,000, and have expended a sum equal in amount to that
one-half. This latter provision, although it gives ample
time, yet precludes any delay in carrying out the under-
taking; and the directors have accordingly made a call of
£2 per share, payable on theist of October, to enable them
to complete the purchase of land ; and have also given in-
structions to the engineer to take the necessary steps, so
that tenders may be at once obtained for the construction of
the line.

£3,929. The working expenses for the fortnight amount to

Ist of May to the 15t'i of Augtist to £19,380, or 37.63 per

WHITETIAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION.

The half-yearly report of the directors states :
"The accounts of the company for the half-year ending
30Lh June last show that tne gross receipts have amounted
to £12,01319+: 3d., being an inesease of £1,587 ss. 10. over
the corresponding period. of 1857. The directors are gra-
tified at this result, seemg that the past half-year has been
one of unusual depressioni a trade generally, and more
especially in that branch of trade on which the traffic of this
company greatly depends. The balance of revenue account
is Y,6,109 Os. 2d. After the payment of the interest:on
mortgages and temporary loans, and providing for a
dividend of 5k per cent. on all the preference shares,
a sum of £1,187 14s. 11i1. remains for the original
proprietors, and the directors again recommend the
declaration of a dividend of 2Q. per share, which
will leave LW 4s. 11d. to be carried to next account.
The expenditure on capital account during the past half-
year has amounted to £2,858 is. 80. for vvorks and rolling
stock, including a payment of £229 2s. in compensation
for damage to houses in Peter-street, Whitehaven, during
the construction of the tunnel. Since the issue of the
directors' last report the greater portion of the new pre-
ference shares have been taken up, and the proceeds
have been applied in paying off the old liabilities of
the company. The directors hope to be able to state
in their next report that the whole of the liabilities
on capital account have been liquidated. The short
branch line near Broughton, alluded to in the engi-
neer's report last half-yeaF, was opened for traffic on the
Ist August, as well as a similar short. branch on the Fur-
ness Company's line near Dalton. The through trains to
and film the south now pass over these lines, and a saving
of nearly six miles is HT! effected. The negotiations with
the Post-office authorities for the conveyance of the mails
have been continued during the half-year; but the direc-
tors regret to state that, although they have offered to con-
vey the mails at a less sum than would cover the cost, they
have not yet been able to secure for the inhabitants of
Whitehaven the earlier delivery and later despatch which
they are entitled to, and which the new railway route south-
wards can supply ou reasonable and moderate terms. The
directors believe that the results of the past ]calf-year's
working, in a time of great commercial depression, will be

The Turkish Ambassador had an interview with
the Earl of Derby, yesterday, at his official residence in
Downing-street.

CHURCHBATES.—On Friday last, when the annual
meeting was held [for granting the church rates at Tam-
worth an opposition was raised by the anti-church party,
the town having been previously placarded with publica-
tions of the Liberation Society. The motion for refusal of
the rate having been rejected by a very large majority, a
poll was demanded, which was brought to a close on Tues-
day last—the votes in favour of the rate being 501, against
it 186; majority for the rate, 315.
LETTERS FOR C.VNAD.,.—General Post-office, Aug.
23d, 1838.—A further representation having been made by
the Canadian Government respecting the difficulty attending
the conveyance, through Nova Scotia, of correspondence
addressed to Canada, no mails will in future be made up
for transmission to Canada by that route. On the 17th
June last, notice was given by this department that
newspapers and book packets, addressed to Canada, would
not be forwarded thenceforth via Halifax ; and this regula-
tion will HOW be extended to letters. With the exception of
letters, &c., for Bay Chaleur and the district of Gaspe,
which will still continue to be sent in the mails for New
Brunswick, the whole of the correspondence for Canada
will in future be forwarded either by way of the United
States, or by Canadian wail packets.

NORTH DEVON.

The half-yearly mee!ing of this company was held at the
offices, in Gresham Hotta:, yesterday—Mr. Sherland in the
chair.
The report (an abstract of which has already appeared)
having been read,
The CHAIRMAN said he had but little to add to the state-
ments in the report. They had had the report of the traffic
manager up that morning, and it fully confirmed their anti-
cipations as to the increase of their traffic. By the
weekly return they made the increase £303, but when it
was finally made up, as it was by the traffic manager's
report, they found it was Dc2s. He had no doubt they
would now regain their traffic, perhaps even more rapidly
than they had lost it during the past six months. The
South-Western Exeter line would probably be opened within
the next 18 months, and would no doubt add to their
traffic. The steam-boats alluded to in the report
belonged to individuals, the North Devon Company
having nothing to do with them. Indeed, under their Act
of Parliament they could not, but he thought the boats
were likely to prove very beneficial to them. He Lad
recently been over the line, and found it in good order, and
working with *great regularity. It was true there was some
little complaint relative to the slowness of their trains, but,
looking at the nature of the curves on the line, the engineer
thought it might be dangerous were they to increase their
speed. He begged to move that the reports and accounts be
received and adopted.
The motion having been seconded, was carried unani-
mously, and the dividend, at the rate of 169. Bel. per cent.
per annum on the ordinary stank, And £1 13s. on the B
stock, declared.

WATERFORD AND LIMERICK.

The 26th half-yearly meeting of this company was held ;
in Waterferd on Tuesday—Mr. J. Connolly in the chair.
The report stated that the receipts for six months to June
39, 1858, amounted to £29,118, the working expenses to
£12,858, or 44.1 per cent. of the receipts; leaving £16;260.
Tue receipts for six months to June 30, 1857, amounted to
£28,324, the working expenses being £14,544, or 51 1-3 per
cent., leaving £13,780 • showing an increase in favour of
last half-year of £2,480. The total income amounted to
£20,118, and the total expenditure, including law costs and
interest, to £14,441, leaving a balance of £14,677 to pay
interest on debentures and dividend on preference shares.
The result is most encouraging, as it has been attained not-
withstanding the depressed state of trade, the decrease in the
receipts of almost all other railways, the very high rate of
interest paid on bonds and securities in the early part of
the year, when the difficulty of procuring money was in-
deed great, and the insane competition between the two
great Irish trunk lines for the Limerick traffic. The
directors feel deep regret that they are unable to an-
nounce the recommendation of a dividend to the holders
of original stock. Until the preference capital shall have
been issued the receipts from revenue must, to a consider-
able extent, be applied to liquidate the pres6ne• liabilities of
the company. The directors have succeeded in establishing
a daily communication between Waterford and Milford-
Haven, from which they expect very favourable results. The
Post-office authorities have not yet consented to despatch a
daily mail from London' to the south r,f Ireland by the
ford route ; nor have they yet given the carriage of the
night mails to this company.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the pro-
spects of the company. They bad succeeded in reducing the
working expenses. In reference to the speech made by Sir
E. Macdonnell, he denied that the company ever offered to
dispose of the line, and said there were no grounds far Sir
Edward's observations, as far as the Wnterford and Lime-
rick line was concerned. He concluded by moving the
adoption of the report.
Mr. LEVY seconded the motion. He said they expected
next year to earn at least £60,000, which would enable them
to pay a dividend to the original shareholders.
Mr. EATON condemned the course pursued by the direc-
tors, as calculated to lower still more the stock of the com-
pany.
The CUAIRMAN briefly replied to the several points that
had been adverted to, and put the report, which was unani-
mously adopted.
Mr. E. POWER proposed that Mr. O'Connor's resignation
be accepted, and that he be presented, on retiring from the
office of s3cretary, with a gratuity of £5OO.
Mr. W. MALCOMSON seconded the resolution, which was
put and carried by acclamation.
Thanks were voted to Mr. Connolly, and the proceedings
terminated.

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.—Aug. tn.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
A JUVENILE BILL DISCOUNTER-RAYNE V. MACKAY.
The plaintiff In this action sought to recover a sum of
money upon an overdue bill of exchange. The plaintiff is
a minor, and Mr. Orgood, the chief clerk, objected to his
appearing as plaintiff, but his Honour overruled the objec-
tion, as the defendant did not appear.
The plaintiff said he had discounted the bill upon which
he now sought to recover.
His Honour—All ! A young beginner in the money line.
Did you see defendant sign the bill?
The plaintiff—No, I did not see him sign it; but he must
have done so or his name would not be there. (Laughter.)
His Honour—You must be more careful for the future.
You ought to prove handwriting.
The plaintiff—Well, I did not think that was any business
of mine; all I bad to do was to present the bill when it
fell due, and get the money. (Laughter.) He has paid
£9 103.
His Honour, referring to the back of the bill, and finding
this to be the case, said he would take that as an admission.
(To plaintiff)—Well, you bad better take the balance in two
payments.
Plaintiff—Oh, no. I want the money, or I wouldn't have
summoned him. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Well, you had better take it in a month.
Plaintiff—l'd rather hays it at once. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Well, but you have taken it in portions
yourself.
Plaintiff—Yes; but I want it all now. In fact, I want
money, and that quickly. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Well, you had better take it in a month.
