ISLINGTON MARKET BILL.

Mr. WILKS begged to ask whether the Lords had agreed to the
amendments on the Islington Market Bill ?
Dr. BOWRING—There they are. •
The SPEAKER observed that the amendments had been sub-
mitted to him according to the customary forms of the House, but he
should be very sorry to make himself responsible for any amend-
ments brought down from the Lords, and so submitted to him.—
( Hear, and laughter. )
Mr. WILKS supposed he was to understand that all the parties
interested in the Bill were satisfied.

STAMPS AND ASSESSED TAXES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved
the third reading of the Stamps and Assessed Taxes Bill,
Mr. PRYME proposed the introduction of a clause for reducing
to 10s. the duty on such awards as do not direct the payment of
any sum exceeding 201., or do not affect any interest in lands, tene-
ments, hereditaments, except demises whereof a term not exceeding
the term of three years from the date of the award remains un-
expired.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recommended
the Hon. Member to withdraw his clause for the present session.
—(Hear, hear.) He would have an opportunity of raising the
question nexesession.—(A laugh.)
Mr. PRYME did not expect it would be granted this session,
and would therefore withdraw it till the next session. He hoped
that in the mean time the subject would be attended to.
Mr. CHALMERS also withdrew his amendment.
The Bill was then read a third time.
IRISH TITHES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would occupy
the House for a few minutes in asking for leave to introduce a very
important Bill. He must in the first instance justify himself for
introducing the Bill at this late period of the Session, so very late
that without direct necessity he would not introduce it, so rong
as there was a chance, or the possibility of a hope, that the
great question, which had occupied so much of the attention of that
House during the present Session respecting the Irish Church, was
likely to be settled by a satisfactory act of legistation. The Bill he
was about to ask for leave to introduce, was not necessary, but now
he understood from the votes of the other House that no steps were
taken upon that Bill, and that it was abandoned in fact by his
Majesty's Government upon the grounds that it would not be
satisfactory to the peeple, or to that House, in its
present stage, for it appeared by inspecting the minutes
of the House of Lords, that it did not fill up the outline, or con-
form to the principle of those resolutions that had been acquiesced
in by this House; and the consequence was, that his Majesty's
Government would be acting inconsistently with their declarations,
if they acted upon this Bill in its altered state.—(Hear.) It was
not the intention of Government to proceed further with this
measure, nor were any steps taken, by any other Member of
Parliament in the other House, to advance it.—(Hear, hear.)
Such was the present position of the great question of the Irish
Church.—(Cheers.) It was not his intention to go at present
into that question, but he wished merely to call the attention
of the House and the public to the position in which the Govern-
ment would be placed unless a Bill like the one he was about to
introduce was accepted and made the law of the land.—( Cheers. )
The House had heard during the discussion of the Bill in very
many places, the condition, the lamentable condition in which the
Clergy of Ireland would be placed, if they were not in receipt of
their incomes.—( Cheers. ) Whether that condition would be im-
proved by what had occurred in another place, he would leave to
futurity to state.—(Hear. hear, hear, and great' cheering. )
The House was bound in doing justice to the people of Ireland,
to afford also protection to tlse Clergy of the Established Church.
—( Cheers.) Both those objects had failed, for by the law, as it
at present existed, it would be imperative on the Government to
put in suit all the claims of the Crown for the instalments of the
one million advanced to the Irish Clergy. T( Hear, hear, and
cheering.) The Government would be compelled to proceed
against them even if they had received nothing, and had no means
of payment.—( Cheers.) Now, he could not undertake, as a Mi-
nister of the Crown, to suspend the written law of the land, and he
should, therefore, be compelled to enforce those claims, unless the
present Bill met with the sanction of the House.—(Cheers.) He
thought the House would agree with him in thinking that
that would be most unjust and oppressive--(Loud cheers)—
in those cases in which it could be made to appear the clergy had
not received it, or was amenable to pay.—( Cheers.) The object
of the Bill was not to remit a single farthing, but to give to the
'Government an authority upon receiving an application from the
clergy in cases where it was proved they were not in a condition to
pay, to suspend the claim for the instalment until Parliament reas-
sembled. He, by the present Bill, asked from the House its legisla-
tive authority, to give the
.Government power to withhold legal
proceedings against such personk as it should be proved were inca-
pable to pay, taking the term of the Bill io be the sth of April,
and proposing that the right should revive again in August for
the Crown to proceed. By the adoption of that course he should
be enabled to come again to Parliament if nesessary, and ask for
further time. He trusted that the House would think the present
proposition a just one, and perfectly consistent with the Reso-
solutions that had passed that House, from one iota of
which he was not disposed to retract. (Loud cheering.)
In the settlement of the question they had nothing personal—they
had no motive but a strong desire to maintain the Church. The
proposition made by the Government, and accepted by the House
of Commons, was, he trusted, generally thought to be the best
answer to those false charges which had been lavished upon
them of their indifference and hostility to the rights
and well-being of the Clergy. It was tor the, protection
of the Clergy, that the Government had felt it their duty to pro-
pose that a Bill should be brought in for the relief of the Tithe
owners in Ireland.

After a few words from Mr. lirTitvEN, Mr. POTTER, and Mr.
WILES, in support of the proposition, leave was given, and the
Bill was brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was
read a first time, and ordered to be printed.
On the motion of Mr. WILKS, the Lords Amendments to
the Islington Market Bill were agreed to.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Consol Market, towards the close of yesterday's business,
left off very buoyant, owing to a prevailing opinion that both
Houses of Parliament would come to some amicable arrangement,
but at present this does not prove to be the case. Consols which
left off yesterday at 89a a for money, and 891, 90 for the account,
opened this morning at the above prices, with little or nothing
doing. Omnium closed at premium, remain the same; Ex-
chequer Bills, 18 to 20; India Bonds, 4 to ti; Bank Stock, 214
to 215 ; India, 253 to 254.

In the Foreign Market the following are the quotations of this
morning :—.Spanish Bonds are the same as they left off, 40i 1 ;
Spanish Scrip the same, 19 18 discount ; Portuguese, 851 6i ;
Three per Cents., 55i ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 5311
Our arrivals this morning are very few—one French mail and
one Hamburgh. Yesterday there was an arrival from the Cape of
Good Hope of the 22d of May (old date), with letters from /itihis.
The express from Paris does not bring any news of eonsequenct!
from the contending armies in Spain, with the exception, as we
stated yesterday, of the landing of the French troops from Algiers,
at Tarragona, which has come just in time to put down the revolu-
tionary movements. It also appears that the Carlists in the North
of Spain arc assembling all their forces in the neighbourhood of
Biscay, fearing a combined movement of the English and Spanish
troops in their rear, which, we have no doubt, will soon take place,
if they do not sheek shelter again in the mountains.
HALF-PAST ONE.
To the present time we are without any further continental in-
formation, reports, or speculations. In the British Funds Consols
have continued the whole of the morning at 89a 4 for Money, and
891 90 for the Account. Omnium, 2 4 premium ; Exchequer
Bills higher, 20 22 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock, 214 215.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds have receded from 41* to
40, at present 40i owing to a sale of 50,000 of the above Secu-
rities ; Spanish Scrip 194 discount ; Portuguese, 851 86i ;
Three per Cents., 55b ; Columbian, 304 314-; Mexican, 35 36;
Dutch Two and a Half per Cents.,s3A ; Five per Cents., 1014 -7/.
TREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 898 90.

We perceive that the important and extensive bo-
rough of the Tower Hamlets intends meeting on Monday next
on Stepney-green, to address the King upon the alarming con-
sequences resulting from the infatuated conduct of the House
of Lords, in mutilating the Corporation Reform. Bill ; and to
petition the House of Commons to exercise its great constitu-
tional powers in securing the people's just rights.
