VOCAL ASS

against TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR,
and of Mr. SPEAKER, thinking it therefore best
for him to give the House an opportunity of trying
its hand at the work again, by giving his vote to
the NOES. The hon. gentleman, carefully explain-
ing that he did not say no, to the bill, but to the
responsibility of a final decision.
But when we have all had our pleasant laugh,
we can but begin to ask what does it all mean ?
But a year or two ago we had a majority of seventy
or more for the same bill. What is become of it ?
Is it the Tory reaction—the CECIL and
MONTAGU reaction ? Not exactly ; rather
the DERBY-DISRAELI Parliament, and the
CECIL and MONTAGU whip. The truth is that
the last election gave us a Parliament much more
favourable to the Ministers who called it; and that
the OEMS and MONTAGUS first whipped Mr.
DISRAELI back to uncompromising Toryism, and
then whipped up the county members and the
clergy: The majority of seventy has hardly
suffered at all by defection, but it has been met by
activity on the otner side. Sir JOHN TRELAWNY'S
army is as large as ever, but his opponents have
brought up their reserves. Till the recent
clerical effort began, a large number of
the better Tory members could not be got to
vote or even to pair. But the Church-rate
question is now made a party one, it is even re-
garded as lying in the road to office, and therefore
clerical importunity, combined with party zeal,
have enabled the Tories to bring up their per-
functory ones, and to balance the scales.
But what is the battle now really for? Glancing
over the debate it strikes us, as it must every man
with his eyes open, that the real victory is gained.
May we not say that not a single opposition
vote last night was a cote for Church-rates—
as they are,
not a vote for Church-rates
for Church Rates such as have been at-
tacked so vigorously for the last quarter of a
century. When the battle has brought things to
this that every enemy wants to make terms, the
final triumph cannot be long delayed. The struggle
was really last night, first and chiefly a party one;
next, so far as the subject itself was concerned, a
struggle not to keep the old position, but to be
allowed to retire from it with the honours of war.
The discreditable pretence that the Church of Eng-
land really needed the penny and twopenny rates
was hardly even mentioned on one side ; while Mr.
BRIGHT and Sir G. C. LEWIS on the other
equally denied that the pence were the cause of
the Anti-Church-bate agitation. But what
was said was, that the Church of England
could not descend ti the level of a sect, which she
would do if she gave up compulsory powers of
parish taxation ; and in reply, that Nonconformists
were galled, not with the weight of the pecuniary
yoke, but with its being a Church yoke.
There can he no doubt that this is the pith of the
whole case. It would be sheer hypocrisy for any
member of the Church of England to pretend that
every parish in the kingdom could not, either itself,
or by the aid of wealthy neighbours,meet the expenses
of its own worship; but we fear it would be equal
hypocrisy to deny an -uncenfessed, or hardly con-
fessed, pleasure in imposing a tax on Dissenter!,
such as the Turkish Mahomedans used to impose
on Christiaes. The Church-rate is a kind ( f

ing forward to eagerly this Session as to our
one legislative consolation. If in nothing
else, we have thought, the Session of 1861
would, at any rate, be productive of good
to the entire community, more particularly to the
mercantile community, by' securing the readjust-
ment of the hitherto confused and unsatisfactory
laws relating to Bankruptcy and Insolvency. In
the scanty programme for the session vouchsafed,
at its opening, by her MAJESTY'S Ministers, the
Bankruptcy Bill was visible there, from the first at
a glance, conspicuously and encouragingly. Hearten-
ing us to count, at the very least, upon the all but
certainty of securing that boon during this year's
sitting of Parliament, the Attorney. General intro-
duced his measure very speedily after the first as-
sembling of the Lords and Commons down a West-
minster. Not only thus, however, did Sir RICHARD
BETIIELL lead us to calculate confidently upon
securing the effectual reconsideration and recon-
struction upon an entirely new basis of the jumbled
laws of Bankruptcy and Insolvency—the First Law
Officer of the Crown appeared in a measure to make
" assurance doubly sure," in that particular, by
moderating in that direction his energetic efforts at
legislative improvement. Attempting far less than
he had attempted in the Session of 1860, he seemed
all the more likely, of course, to be able to carry
his point, so far as he attempted to carry it. There
were, consequently, these three considerations dis-
tinetly in
his favour—first of all, the considera-
tion that there was really so little to do otherwise
this year in the Legislature—secondly, that the
Bill itself was introduced betimes—and thirdly, and
finally, that it
was characterised in itself by the
evidences of great moderation. The future not
unnaturally, therefore, looked
Propitious enough for
the Bankruptcy Bill at the moment of its original
introduction. And the Commons •
welcomed the new
bill accordingly. Without anything at all like

Bill
The reception awarded to the Bankruptcy
in the Lords has long since been matter at once of
anxiety and notoriety. Scarcely had it appeared
there when it began to be very seriously
threatened. It was eventually referred, as we all
know, to a Select Committee. Having been brought
1 up again (together with a report) from that Select
Committee, the Bill, " ticked" with suggested ha-
provements, or at least we will say with suggested
alterations, has at length passed through its
remaining stages in the House of Lords, and is now
referred back by the Lords to the Commons in its
altered. condition, as emended in compliance with
the suggestions of the Lords' Select Committee.

the Bill, contrary to his advice in Committee of
the suggested new Chief Judgeship in the re-

Lord BROUGHAM'S authoritative voice, there were
raised loudly and earnestly in favour of the
acceptance of the Bankruptcy Bill, as amended,
the voices of Lord OVERSTONE, who pro-
nounced a panegyric upon the Select Committee—
of Lord LYVEDEN, who pronounced the changes
made as all of them very beneficial—of Lord WENS-
LEYDALE, who enforced the claims of the Select
Committee for commendation rather than for blame!
And prior to the last mentioned noble and learned
lord, the voice also of Lord CRANWORTII was heard
on Tuesday, insisting that really and truly, after all
that had been said about it, the only substantial
alteration in principle that had been adventured
upon by the Lords, at the suggestion of the Select
Committee, was this—that the management and
collection of the funds of the creditors are made to
remain still, as they have remained now for thirty
years past (thanks to Lord BROUGHAM), in the
hands of the official assignees : thus entrusting
" the administration of the estate to a person who
has no interest in concealing anything, and who
will expose alike the delinquencies of the creditor
and of the debtor." Everything considered, then,
we do earnestly hope that upon mature reflection
the Attorney-General will decide not to throw
overboard the Bankruptcy Bill—in dudgeon at the
Lords' Emendations.

greatest alarm was occasioned. When he was raised it
was discovered that the ball had entered the neck immedi-
ately behind the right ear, and escaped through the back
part of the skull, which was dreadfully shattered. Death
had been instantaneous. The body was immediately re-
moved to a farmhouse close by. The cause of ibis melan-
choly occurrence has not been definitively ascertained, but
it is conjectured that the young man,who was firing for the
first time, had imprudently brought his firelock up to full
cock before the proper time, and touched the trigger with
, his trousers.

The last concert for the season of this association
took place last evening, and concluded a series of
entertainments which have given great satisfaction
to crowded audiences. The first concert of the

series probably presented rather too heavy and
monotonous a programme, but M. Benedict
promptly perceived the mistake, and arranged
all that have followed with acute taste
and discrimination. A variety of first class
artistes—both vocal and instrumental, choice old
madrigals and part songs, rounds, classical music,
and a light sprinkling of the popular melodies of
the day, drew large and delighted audiences. The
performances of last evening presented rather more
than usual to elicit applause and admiration.
Bach's fine chorale, " God is Our Refuge in Dis-
ken," was sung by the choir, and most perfectly
and effectively given, though executed for
the first time. A rapturous encore was bestowed
on the duet from " II Barbiere," " All idea di quel
rnetallo," which received great justice from Signor
Belart and Signor Belletti. Miss Mangold'• per-
formance on the pianoforte was of a character to

call forth unbounded applause. Her touch and
expression indicate the possession of great natural
talent, well cultivated, and give her a
place among our leading pianists. The trio
" Papataci" from " L'ltaliana in Algeri" was
perhaps never better sung than by Signori Belart,
Garcia, and Belletti. The audience thoroughly ap-
preciated and enjoyed it, bestowing a:warm encore.
The favourite aria ." Non piu mesta," sung by
Madlle. Anna Whitty, was enthusiastically re-de-
manded, and we may warmly congratulate this
charming singer on the purity of her
voice and the spirit of her execution. A
French air, "La Mallon," with words by Lamar-
tine, sung by Signor Giuglini, elicited great
applause, most deservedly; and Miss Stabbach
was quite at home in Haydn's canzonet, "My
Mother bids me bind my hair." The harp per-
formance of Mr. Aptommas was something truly
exquisite. We have never heard this instrument yield
more entrancing melody than it did beneath his magic
power, and the delight expressed by the listeners
bore ample testimony to the skill of the gifted
player, The numerous " Part Songs" and
" Chorales" given by the choir were, as
usual, well and equally sustained, reflecting
the greatest credit on the conductor. The
Hall was very crowded with a brilliant and
fashionable audience, whose approbation gave full
assurance that the Vocal Association Concerts will
maintain a lasting and high character among our
musical entertainments.
We see that M. Benedict's Concert takes place
on Monday morning, June 24, and the rich treat
promised in the programme will doubtless secure
him the warm patronage which his genius and
abours so greatly merit.

THE RECENT ANTI-SLAVE TRADE CONFERENCE. I
—We are requested to state that the Anti-Slave Trade Con-
ference, held at Lord Brougham's on Saturday last, did not
adopt a resolution recommending the suspension of diplo-
matic intercourse with Spain. The resolution was discussed
in committee, but not proposed to the conference.
BRITISH WOOL—Yesterday Mr. Caird, M.P.,
read at a meeting of the Council of the Royal Agricultural
Society of England a very interesting paper upon British
wool. He remarked that, although there had been an im-
mense increase in the importation from foreign countries
and the colonies during the last 20 years, the rearing of
sheep for the production of British wool continued to be
one of the most profitable branches of our industry.
Within the period referred to there had been, no doubt,
in the imports from Spain and Germany a diminution of
about 4,000,0001 b., but at the same time, to compensate
for this, there had been an increase from Russia, the Low
Countries, Denmark, and Portugal of no less than
20,000,0001 b. There had been an increase within this
period, in round numbers, from Australia of from
13,000,0001 b. to 54,000,0001 b., from South Africa of
from 1,000,0001 b. to 14,000,0001 b., from the East
Indies of from 4,000,0001 b. to 14,000,0001 b. At home
the increase in the amount of wool produced was equally
remarkable. In 1342 the home-grown wool did not exceed
100,000,0001 b. It now amounted tl 120,000,0001 b. There
had been, in short, an augmented supply of wool to the ex-
tent of nearly 7.5 cent. It had not been followed by any
diminution of price to the home producer. Now, the
countries in which the production of wool is likely to in-
crease most rapidly—viz., Australia, the East Indies, South
SouthAonfprtiionicaco,onamndeattittihoneßritish he

America, are all unsuitable to the pro-
duction of the lustrous long wools for which there is a great
demand. The British islands supply this wool in the
greatest quantity. They may be almost said to have a
monopoly of it, and there arc to countries which can enter
