QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES BILL.

Mr. HADFIELD, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said that the qualification which he proposed to abolish
was a relic of the barbarism of former times, when the
sacramental test of 1662 was introduced in the case of all
persons employed in the military and civil services of the
country. So distasteful was this test that 2,000 clergy-
men resigned their ministry rather than conform to it.
In 1828 that test was repealed, but the qualification clause
was introduced. By this qualification the party taking
office declared, on the faith of a true Christian, that he
would not use any power, authority, or influence he might
possess to weaken the influence of the Established Church,
as by law established in England, or to deprive the prelates
and clergy of such Church of the privileges they at present
enjoyed. Now this qualification declaration was required
to be taken by magistrates, which was a practical griev-
ance, as it tended to exclude Dissenters who might be
desirous to serve their country as magistrates, and
referred to certain cases which had come under his
observation to illustrate this position. None of the
members of any Government in this country made this
declaration, and they got rid of it by pleading ignorance of
the law which required such declaration to be made within
six months after the acceptance of office, for which an act
of indemnity specially provided. He contended that this
was most unjust, for there was no reason shown why the
exemption should not be extended to those who occupied
humbler stations than that of Ministers of the Crown. Such
difference in respect,to a statutory requirement was a dis-
grace ; and so far from the members of the Church of
England endeavouring to perpetuate such an absurdity,
they should turn their attention to the heresies and dis-
sensions that prevailed amongst their own clergy, some of
whom were accused of not having any belief in revelation.
Having referred to the course of legislation in respect to
this bill, which had been passed by this house but rejected
by the House of Lords, he concluded with his motion.
Mr. BAZLEY seconded the motion.

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA.

Mr. MARSH asked the Under Secretary for the Colo-
nies, whether it was the intention of the Government to
lay upon the table of the house the despatches of Sir Geo.
Bowen, Governor of Queensland, Australia ?
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said it was not the practice to
produce such documents, but in the present case an excel:,
tion would be made, and the despatches in question would
be laid on the table.
POOR LAW OFFICERS.

Mr. P. WATLINGTON asked the President of the
Poor Law Board whether it was his intention to introduce
any bill this session to provide for superannuation allow-
ances to poor law officers of unions and parishes ?

Mr. VILLIERS said that a committee had been ap-
pointed to consider all questions relating to the Poor Law,
and this amongst other subjects would be submittel to
their consideration.
DELIVERY OF IRISH LETTERS.

Mr. BRADY asked the Chief Secretary fur Ireland if his
attention had been directed to the fact that Irish letters,
arriving at the General Post-office, London, at 7 o'clock in
the morning, were there detained, and not delivered before
the second delivery (even so late as 12 o'clock; a.m.) ?
Mr. C ARDWELL explained that the delay in question
was caused by the tempestuous state of the weather during
the last two months, which prevented the arrival of the
Irish mail in time to be delivered by the first post ; but,
with the exception of a few instances, Irish letters were
delivered by the second post.

COUNTRY MARKETS.'

LIVERPOOL—FEB. 19.
There was a fair attendance of the town and country
trade at this morning's market, and we had a limited sale
for wheat, which may be quoted at ld to 2d per cental
decline on common reds. Flour was also a slow sale, at
Gd per sack and barrel lower. Indian corn was in moderate
request, at 37s Od per 4801bs for best mixed American, and
38s 6d to 39s for white. Oats and oatmeal were dull of
sale, but unaltered in price. Beans and peas steady at
full prices. Barley a slow sale, at about the currencies of
last market.

LEEDS—FEB. 19.
Our market to-day was fairly attended by millers, but
the show of wheat was very poor. Wheat must be noted
at the rates of last market day. Good barley was quite as
dear. Inferior difficult of sale. Beans are very firm. In
oats and other articles no change.

DM KAHN on MARRIAGE.—A new and
entirely re-written Fdition (the ,Ibth) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, &c., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable everyone to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses ;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called " popular
works" on the subject.

TEE BARBOUR AT CHARLESTOW.N.

A copy of the following letter from her Majesty's
Consul at Charleston, reporting the re-opening of
the main channel to the harbour of that port, was
received at Lloyd's to-day from the Admiralty:—
British Consulate, Charlestown, Feb. 1, 1861.
My Lord,—With reference to my letter of the 11th ult.,
in which I had the honour to acquaint your Lordship that
the de facto authorities of the State of South Carolina had
closed the various channels leading into this harbour with
the exception of Moffit's Channel, I have now the satisfac-
tion to report that the main or ship channel is again open,
and available for vessels drawing 16 feet of water.
I regret to add that the lighthouse, beacons, light ship,
and buoys, alluded to in my letter of the 3d ult., have not
yet been relighted or replaced.—l have, &c.,

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The
recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has
raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social
philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for
the sanctity of Its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that
so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
had passionately loved each other.
If the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted
the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional
theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in
arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered
how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages
may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently
originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school,
and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by
medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce
many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state.
It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou-
sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them.
Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there
be not something in his past life which admits of the possi-
bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or
prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded
on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means
of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting
the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LA'MERT
is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical
Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to
the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to
youth and maturity. A fund of valuable suggestions and in-
formation is contained in his well-known work on the Cure
of Nervous and Physical Debility, which may be had, price Is.,
or free by post for 13 stamps, from Mann, bookseller, 39,

BOROUGH HOP.

The market is very dull; indeed, so little business was
passing both in old and new qualities, that prices rule al-
most nominal.

London, England, 1861-02-20

Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the bill. The alleged
grievance which this bill proposes to abolish related to the
case of persons accepting corporate offices who were merely
required not to use their powers against the Church of
England which was a constitutional element. Now, he
considered, there was no hardship in such a declaration,
and was the ground on which they had acted for the last
32 years in admitting to office persons who were not mem-
bers of the State Church. He appealed strongly to tie
house to follow the example of the House of Lords, and
reject the present measure merely for the sake of whit was
called religious equality. He concluded by moving that
the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that this declaration was a mere
fanciful and ideal security to the established Church. It
was a mere declaration that was not cnforeed by any secular
penalty, and which was capriciously administered. No man
could Le indicted for perjury for a violation of this decla-
ration, and the stability of the Established Church rested
upon far different securities to that which the declaration
afforded. He would therefore vote for the second reading
of the bill, but at the same time he must state that the ex-
isting law did not inflict the practical grievances
which the hon. member for Sheffield supposed.

Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT said he concurred in
what the last speaker said, but he considered that it was
one of the first steps towards destroying the bulwarks of
the Established Church, and by sapping and mining to
effect the separation of the Church and State—an object
which Dissenters did not hesitate to avow. He considered
the declaration quite useless, but for the reason he assigned
he felt bound to oppose this bill and support the amend-
ment.

The house then divided, and the numbers were—
For the second reading ..

The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed this day fortnight.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time. he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not he the
lost, he shall detect any other oqually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gatttte.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this, little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices, of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a diMinsse of which the
know nothing, with no other object P:ian to fill their own purses. The difference between true 'Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resr_raole it arc accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is Offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular,

TILE BARBOUR AT CIIABLESTOWN.

A copy of the following letter from her Majesty's
Consul at Charleston, reporting the re-opening of
the main channel to the harbour of that port, was
received at Lloyd's to-day from the Admiralty:—
British Consulate, Charlestown; Feb. 1, 1861.
My Lord,—With reference to my letter of the 11th ult.,
in which I had the honour to acquaint your Lordship that
the de facto authorities of the State of South Carolina had
closed the various channels leading into this harbour, with
the exception of Moffit's Channel,l have now the satisfac-
tion to report that the main or ship channel is again open,
and available for vessels drawing 16 feet of water.
I regret to add that the lighthouse, beacons, light ship,
and buoys, alluded to in my letter of the 3d ult., have not
yet been relighted or replaced.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) ROBT. BUNCH, Consul.
The Secretary to the Admiralty.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL--FEn. 19.
There was a fair attendance of the town and country
trade at this morning's market, and we had a limited sale
for wheat, which may be quoted at ld to 2d per cental
decline on common reds. Flour was also a slow sale, at
Gd per sack and barrel lower. Indian corn was in moderate
request, at 37s Od per 4801bs for best mixed American, and
38s Gd to 39s for white. Oats and oatmeal were dull of
sale, but unaltered in price. Beans and peas steady at
full prices. Barley a slow sale, at about the currencies of
last market.

LEEDS-FEB, 19.

Our market to-day was fairly attended by millers, but
the show of wheat was very poor. Wheat must be noted
at the rates of last market day. Good barley was quite as
dear. Inferior difficult of sale. Beans are very firm. In
oats and other articles no change.

TURIN, JUNE 26.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the bill relating to the loan for 500,000,000 francs
was discussed.

Signor Ferrari opposed the bill, and attacked the
political, financial, and administrative system of the
Government. He, however, highly eulogised Count
Cavour.

Signor Desanctis replied, and demonstrated that
the present Cabinet had maintained the system fol-
lowed by Count Cavour.
The discussion was then adjourned.
The official Gazette publishes an article rectify-
ing the statement of some Italian journals respect-
ing the landing of rumerous disturbers of public
order in Sicily. It states that only three Bourbon
brigands, coming from Malta, have landed there.

The Gazette di 79rino asserts that the Bourbo-
nians have attacked and pillaged Bajano and Castel
Jezzato.

VIENNA, JUNE 26.

The semi-official journals of Vienna publish a
denial to the assertion of some French papers that
the English Ambassador at Vienna had, in an in-
terview with the Emperor, insisted upon a solution
of the Hungarian question.

LISBON, JUNE 25.

The official Gazette of to-day publishes a royal
decree, finally suppressing the order of Sisters of
Charity.
The Duke of Saldanha has published a letter, in
which he declares that he will not take the lead of
any revolutionary party.

MADRID, JUNE 25.

The Madrid journals of to-day contain news from
Lisbon, stating that the Duke of Saldanha had
written to the Marquis de Loule, President of the
Council, insisting upon the advisability of a change
in the Ministry.
The Duke of Saldanha is said to have expressed
himself disposed to form a new Cabinet.
The Madrid journals also state that the Emperor
of Morocco has announced to his subjects that he
consents to satisfy the claims of Spain agreeable to
the request of France.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the 22d says :
" The recognition of the kingdom of Italy by
France is the subject of all conversations here; it
is viewed with great displeasure in Governmental
circles, for it is impossible to indulge any illusion
as to the consequences that must result from this
act of the French Government. It is generally
supposed that Russia will soon renew its diplo-
matic relations with King Victor Emmanuel. As
to what Prussia would do, nothing positive is yet
know ; but it is certain that even at Vienna there
are influential persons who think that the Euro-
pean Powers would act wisely in not delaying too
long to recognise accomplished facts, for they look
on such a measure as the only means of preventing
France from exercising an exclusive influence on
Italy, and from realising her desire to annex Sar-
dinia and Liguria. It is said that England is
making great efforts at Berlin to induce Prussia
to recognise the kingdom of Italy, and it is not
improbable that Prussia will ere long yield to her
wishes."

THE TURNER PICTURES.

Lord ST. LEONARDS rose to ask the President of the
Council whether any steps had been taken to provide a
separate gallery for the Turner pictures, in connec-
tion with the National Gallery, according to the
conditions of his will, under which the nation
possessed the pictures. The noble and learned lord referred
to the manner in which the petitions were bequeathed to
the nation, and said that it was not only a national but a
legal obligation to carry out the provisions of the late emi-
nent painter.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossnaith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."
