were seven members of the Government engaged in the
inquiry before the House of Lords, and he thought it would
not be acting with courtesy towards the Government if
they pressed forward the measure before the conclusion of
the labours of the committee. It was impossible to pass it
during the short remaining term of the session, as the
number of amendments was too great to afford them a rea-
sonable expectation of doing so, and therefore it was only a
waste of time to prolong discussion like the present, which
would lead to no practical result for the present.
After a few words from Mr. VANSITTART,
Sir J. TRELA.WNY said he was determined to pro-
ceed with the bill, and not discontinue his exertions until
he accomplished his object.
In clause 1,
Mr. CROSS moved the following : —After " levied," leave
out "in any parish is England or Wales," and insert "re-
spectively in the following cases in any parish in England
or Wales. Ist. No church-rate shall be made or levied in
any parish in which no church-rate has been made or levied
during the seven years next previous to thepa.ssing of this act.
2d. No church rate shall be levied upon any person who
shall deliver to the churchwardens, within one week after
the rate shall have been demanded of such person, a decla-
ration under his hand that he bona fide objects upon con-
scientious grounds to the payment of church rates : Pro-
vided always that no person so exempted from the payment
of any church rate shall be entitled to vote or act in vestry
in the parish in reference to the making, levying,
or application of any church rate, or the application
of any money applicable to the like purposes, unless
after signing such declaration he shall have paid
a church rate subsequently made in such parish.
3d. No church-rate shall be made for other than the fol-
lowing purposes, that is to say-1. Repairing and main-
taining the fabric of the parish church ; 2. Repairing, fenc-
ing, and maintaining the churchyard or burial ground of
the parish church; 3. Providing what is necessary fir the
decent celebration of Divine service and the offices of the
parish church."
At ten minutes to four o'clock the discussion was inter-
rupted, and the house resumed.
UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time, and passed.
The house then adjourned at four till six o'clock.

At a quarter past six, there not being 40 members pre
sent, the house adjourned until to-morrow.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—JuLY 26.
CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL.
Order for committee read; motion made, and question pro-
posed, " That Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair."
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word "That"
to the end of the question, in order to add the words
" this house will to-morrow resolve itself into a com-
mittee, to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of
Church-rates, thenceforth to be abolished, a charge on all
hereditaments, in respect of the occupancy of which
Church-rates have 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 from his rent the amount of the charge
levied on his occupation." Instead thereof : question
put, " That the words proposed to be left out stand part
of the question." The house divided—Ayes, 191;
Noes, 99.
