THE THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The second match for the season came off on Monday be-
tween the yachts of this Club. • It was for :the Grand Chal-
lenge Cup, which last year was won by the owner of the
Enigma, Mr. J. Wilkinson, but which, to become the pro-
perty of any competitor in. perpetuity, must be won at two
matches in succession.. Yesterday the yachts entered to sail
for this prize were six In number. As usual, the steamer
conveyed the company invited to attend the match, from the
Old Shades Pier, at ten o'clock, to Greenwich, where the
yachts were at their moorings. Commodore Harrison did
the honours to the ladies and•geetlemen on board with his
accustomed politeness, and the band of Mr.. Adams was in
attendance to increase the pleasures of the trip with their
musical performances. There was, moreover, a large stock
of provisions on board, under an able and experienced ca-
terer; so that the visitor had nothing to complain of in the
way of a hearty welcome and good cheer. The steamer came
off Greenwich at half-past ten o'clock ; but, in order to catch
the tide on the return, the start did not take place till nearly
twelve o'clock. The match was from Greenwich to Coal-
house-point, about two miles below Gravesend, and back to
Greenwich. The wind was blowing fresh from the west when
the signal to start was given by firing a gun from the steamer
Containing the Commodore and his party. The vessels were
placed-thus
1. Mystery, Lord A. Paget, 25 tons.,
2. Exquisite, Mr. C. It. Tatham, 15 tons,
3. Gazelle, Mr. T. Rutherford, 25 tons.
•
4 Enigma, -Mr. J. Wilkinson, 25 tons..
6. Blue Bell, Mr. J. Chandless, 25 tons.
•
6. Gnome, Captain Meeson,,2s tons.
At starting. the nome took the-lead, the Blue Bell was
second, the Mystery third, the Gazelle fourth, the Enigma
fifth, and the Exquisite last. At Half-way House the wind
freshened;. but the Gnome still led, and the pace was very
good. The Gazelle, at this point; was the second boat, the
Mystery third, the Exquisite fourth, the,Blue Bell fifth, and
the Enigma.sixth ; but -at Erith the Enigma vies close ;upon
the Gnome, and became the second boat, the Gazelle being
third, the Mystery fourth, the Blue Bell fifth,.and the Ex-
quisite sixth,.and in this manner the match proceeded with
•little difference, until off Purfieet, when the Blue Bell.becatne
the third boat, and the Gazelle fifth. At' Erith an accident
happene I to the Gazelle, her topmast gave way, and She
was, in a manner, crippled. At Gravesend the Enigma be-
came the leading boat, and the Gnome was behind; and the
fiagboat at Coalhouse point was rounded in the following
. .
-manner, by the .
Enigma at 24 minutes to 3 o'-clock
.Gnome
Blue Bell ... at 21 minutes to 3 o'clock
Mystery - minutes t 0.3 .'clock
• • , Exquisite at 20 minutes to 3 e?clocic
Gazelle
It will be seen from this that the match was well contested.
On the return off Tilbury Tort the.Enignia still kept the lead,
but the Mystery was close upon "her, and at Gravesend the
match stood • thus ;-1, Mystery; 2, Blue Bell; -3, EnigMa.
It was now tolerably plain that the Enigma would'not prove
the winner, unless some untoward- chance should change the
disposition of, events.: No change did take place in the rela-
tive positions and places of the yachts, and the match was
concluded in this manner—the Mystery first; at two minutes
to six o'clock; the Blue Bell within half a minute after her;
and the rest of the boats in a very few minutes after. The
match; puts the challenge cup into the hands of Lord A. Pa-
get for a twelvemonth, when it must be again sailed for; and
it also proves the inferiority of iron boats to wood. At the
conclusion of the match Commodore Harrison presented the
cup to Lord A.-Paget in the usual inannei. The. steamer
then took her departure for London amidst the cheers of the
multitude assembled. - • • •

The Duke. of Devonshire honoured the-German
dwarfs, at the Egyptian Hall; with a visit, yesterday,
and appeared much gratified..

IMPEItIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. •
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock.--
The Bishop, of SALISBURY presented- petitions
against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.
Similar petitions were presented by the Earl of Gal-
loway, the Earl of Devon, and the Bishop of Exeter.
The Bishop of EXETER postponed from Thursday
to Friday the second reading of the Brothels Suppres-
Sion
SANATORY CONDITION OF THE POOR.
The Marquis of NORNIANBY rose to ask when the
report respecting the sanatory condition of the poor
would be ready for presentation, and also whe:her
the report would contain any recommendation of a
plan to remedy the evils which were'now complained of.
It was absolutely necessary that some step should be
taken to meet the existing evils ; for such was the con-
dition of the poor at 'present, that annually as many as
50,000 persons died of fever, arising from the condition
of their dwellings. It appeared from the evid,•nce of
Mr. Lewis, a minister of a parish•in Dundee, that the an-
nual cost to that town, in consequence of the preva'ence
of fever arising from the condition of the poor, was 25,0001.
The subject demanded the greatest consideration of Par
liament. The information that was necessary alight
have been acquired in a quarter of the time that the Go-
vernment had taken. He now wished to ask when the
report would be presented to Parliament, whether any
remedial measure would be proposed, and whether the
Metropolitan Buildings Act would be carried forward
this session ? •
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH was sensible that there
were a great may evirs in the old and the continued
modes of building new towns, but there was a great diffi-
culty in finding out what the remedies might be. A Bill
had been brought in for the improvement of the town of
Leeds, but it fell a dead letter in their Lordships' House.
The papers which the Noble Marquis wished to have,
could not be presented within a few days, and lie did not
think it was possible in this session to introduce such a
measure.

The Marquis of NORMANBY heard the statement
of his Noble Friend with extreme regret. He had ex-
peted that the case of Leeds would have formed the
foundation of a Government measure. He could Only
repeat that he thought that a very great deal of time
had been wasted in considering that subject ; and he
thought, even with the Noble Duke's explaaation, that
more might have been done, with efficient local manage-
ment, in the case he had cited.

SEES OF BANGOR AND .ST. ASAPIL
Earl :POWIS, after presenting several petitions
against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph,
said that he never, on any occasion, approached a
question with such great anxiety as he did on
that occasion, for he felt much on the subject-matter of
the petitions he had just presented. On this important
Church question he was sorry to find himself opposed to
a Noble Lord 'and a Right Rev. Prelate, whose weight
and character in their Lordships' House made it difficult
for him singly to bring that subject under their notice.
It little became him to waste their Lordships' time by
making any.apology for thus ocupying a little of their
attention, and he would therefore as briefly and as satisfac-
torily as possible, hoping, at the same time, that theirLord-
hips would, extend to him that favour which he had
always experienced. He would follow up the petitions
he bad presented by reading a letter he had received
from an individual intimately conversant with the
matter before them.—(His Lordship then read the
letter, which supported the prayer of the petitions.)
He thought they ought to listen to the remonstrances of
the people of North Wales against the union .of the sees
of St. Asaph and Bangor, showing that shortly atter the
union of the sees of Sodor and Man and Carlisle, the
Feople who were affected by it resisted it, and the Act for
the union of those sees was, in consequence, repealed.
He thought the labour far too great for one Bishop.
They must consider that in that case the Reverend Pre.
late's. sphere of action must be over six of the most•
mountainous countries in North Wales. The Noble

Earl then read portions of a speech made by a Right
Reverend Prelate on the occasion of the union of two
spiritual sees in Ireland, and on that occasion it was pro-
mnlgated that, according to ecclesiastical law and usage,
such union could only take place ex necessitotis causa.
One thing was clear that the union now contemplated
would prove vastly injurious. It would throw a greater
degree of labour on the Bishop of Gloucester and Bris-
tol, by adding to his already laborious duties. One
great reason for the disunion of thess two sees of St.
Asaph and Bangor was, that the population. in those
dioceses was increasing at a very rapid rate. The in-
habitants of the northern districts of Wales had in-
creased 149,000 in forty years. It was true that the
activity of the Welsh clergy enabled them to do a good
deal, but it was impossible that that activity could keep
pace with the religions wants of the pt ople in these par-
ticular districts. Having stated the case so far, he would
leave it in their Lordships' hands. He had brought it
forward at the request of the people of Wales, being im-
pressed with the great importance of the question ; for
he believed it to be one well worthy of their Lordships'
earnest and deepest consideration. He should, there-
fore, move the second reading of the Bill.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he still felt it to
be his duty to oppose the motion of his Noble Friend.
The motion was for the second reading of a Bill to re-
peal an Act which was passed eight years ago, and the
matters which the Noble Earl had brought under the
consideration of their Lordships ought to have been
urged when the Bill itself, which united the two sees,
was under the consideration of Parliament. 'He (the
Duke of Wellington) would briefly call to their Lord-
ships' recollection the objects of the Bill, which the
Noble Earl sought to repeal. Early in the year 1835 a
Commission was appointed for the purpose of revising
the state of the revenues and patronage of the Church,
the expenses of the dioceses, and all those circumstances
which would have, by any alteration, the effect of' being
beneficial to the country. In March, 1835, the report
was made, and that report was the one which
proposed the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.
This report when it was made was no secret, it was laid
on the tables of both Houses of Parliament, and was no-

torious to everybody. The matter was then fully dis•
cussed, and the country was made well acquainted with
the contents of that report. When that report was con-
sidered by Parliament both the Bishops of Bangor and
St. Asaph were present.
The Bishop of BANGOR—Certainly not.
The Duke of WELLINGTON—They were not pre-
sent when the measure was passed, but they were pre-
sent when the report recommending the union of these
sees was considered. The Bill itself was generally sup•
ported in that House, and passed without opposition in
the month of August, 1836. Under this Bill, her Ma-
.

jesty in Council was authorised to carry into effect the
recommendations contained in the report of the Commis-
sion of 1835, and accordingly, under the powers of that
Bill, directions were given by the then Government for
carrying into effect the measures recommended in those
reports. Yet, now his Noble Friend came down with a
Bill to repeal that part of the original Act which was, in
fact, the foundation of all the measures which were. re.
commended by the Commission of 1835. His Noble Friend
must recollect that the recommendations of the Commis-
sion of 1835 applied to other ecclesiastical matters besides
the union of the two sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, as, for
instance, the appointment of a Bishop of Ripon, and the
creation of other bishoprics. Should the Noble Earl's
Bill be carried, an organic change would be made in the
constitution of that House. An augmentation of the
Members of the Right Rev. Bench would be made, and
he would remind their Lordships that, although that
augmentation was proposed, no provision was made for
them by his Noble Friend. These were points which he
thought his Noble Friend had not sufficiently considered.
He (the Duke of Wellington) should, therefore, oppose
the second reading of this Bill, and move that it be read
that day six months.
The Bishop of BANGOR said he was sorry to be
compelled to oppose the views which were taken by her
Majesty's Government on this subject. He denied that
this Bill would affect the general principle of the Act of
1836. • His Noble Friend merely called for a repeal of a

portion of that Act, and he did not interfere in any way
whatever with the other parts of the measure. He had
long hoped to see the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head
of the Government himself bring forward a measure
similar to the present one. lie would remind their
Lordships that the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor were
far more ancient -than the see of Canterbury itselC
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had listened
with great attention to the speech of his Right
Rev. Friend; and, although he believed that there was a

strong feeling in favour of the motion of his Noble
Friend (Earl Powis) in the principality of \Vales, both
with the clergy and the people, yet he thought the sub-
ject had not received that attention which it merited
from either party. He had heard that the injury done
to North Wales by this union was strongly spoken ot;
and he thought that there had been,' he would say, an
unfair use made of the measure. With regard to the
eaFpediency of creating a new Bishop, he did not see the
necessity tor doing so. He knew, however, that in this he
was opposed to many of his Rev. Brethren. Ile had,
however, given the subject his undivided attention, and
he felt himself called on to oppose the measure of his
Noble Friend.

The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S felt himself compelled.
to say something'; but he would not weary the House.
with any lengthened arguments upon the subject; us those
were ably discussed by others more able than himself.
He thought, hovvever, there were some arguments which
had nOt'been advanced, or had been so little brought
forward, that they might be thought comparativelynew ;
and he thought also that there were elements udvanced
which must have been really disriTarded. It was his
firm belief that what he had to say was somewhat on the.
subject before their Lordship's House, and ha'
therefore prayed their earnest attention to it.
He reminded. their Lordships of the evils under which
Wales was labouring in the want of the means of tffi-
cient education. This evil was particularly felt in South
Wales. It was true that a college had lately been esta-
blished, but the endowments were of the most scanty
description. There was a grant from Government for.
the maintenance of that college, but in its amount it did
not equal one-tenth of the grant which was annually
made to the College of Maynooth. This want of the.
means of adequate education in Wales was a subject
which the Government would do well to take into
their serious consideration. Now, with respect to the
question immediately before the House, he would ask,
where was the' amalgamation of bishoprics to stop ?
They must recollect that their population was vastly
increasing, and if a bishopric of Leeds should be sought
to be established; he would ask, whether they would
unite the bishoprics of St. David's and Landaff to ac-
complish that object ? If this union of the two sees
of St. Asaph and Bangor were to be continued, where,
he would again ask, were they to stop? Be looked
upon the union of the bishoprics of St. Asaph and
Bangor, as a degradation of the Church, and one a hich
could only have arisen out of an oversight, and in con-
sequence of great ignorance on the part of its promoters,
of the Principality of-Wales.
The Bishop of LINCOLN was understood to sup

N, A 4 A: -NI

port the union of the sees of St. 'Asap and Bangor,
as the 'only'nleans of establishing 'a bishopric of Man-
chester.

The Earl of WINCIIILSEA said that it was with the
deepest-regret that he was obliged to oppose those.for
whom•he entertained the highest respect ;• bia, at the
same time;he never rose with More satisfaction to oppose
any measure than he did to oppose that proposed by-the
Noble Lord. It had been urged that it would be a vast
inconvenience for the poor clergymen of Wales to com-
municate, with itdistant Bishop if the measure before
them were not agreed to,- but-it would infer Ito great in-
convenience for poor clergymen to go thirty, or forty, or
fifty miles, even if two bishops were up-p,inted.•. Ile
thought the object of his Noble Friend was merely con-
fined to the erection of the two bi-hoprics. Ile
would not trouble the House with any further remarks,
but he would protest against- the reading of his Noble
Friend's Bill. •

The Bishop of LONDON said that he wad opposed to
the Bill in iti present state.
Lord VIVIAN' said that he begged to state a Let
to their Lordships, namely, that the people of the Prin-
cipality of Wa!es cared very little iti,out the juneture
oz the sees. He wished to reinf,ve the impression from
their Lordship,' minds that the population generally did so.
Theßishop of EXETER supported the Bill. He would
not care for a Seat in that House, if he had to hold it
against the feeling of the country. lie for one would be
glad to retire frbm that House, if the people of the coun-
try. should entertain an opiniOn that the Bishops ought
not-to have a seat in that House; but he believed that
the presence of the Bishops had a very beneficial influ-
ence on their Lordships' deliberations. IVith resvect to
the question. before the House, he feared that the Noble
Earl (Pawls) would be unsuccessful in his motion, but he
trusted that the Noble Earl, if-defeated, would renew his.
motion from year to year until at last he succeeded in
extracting this me:Asure from the Government.

The Duke of WELLINGTox----ardtKeA;Cl;bishop of
CANTERBURY briefly explained.
The Bishop of SALISBURY said, that having had
the duties of two bishoprics thrown upon' him, he
must say that his experience had led him to form the
opinion that a union of two sees could give satisfaction
to no man. Of all the petitions t hat crowded their
Lordships' table, was there one which was.in opposition
to the' Bill introduced by his Noble Friend? It was not
without pain that he and other Reverend Prelates were
compelled to oppose him whom they were accustomed to
support. But they had a duty to perform, and that duty
must be done to themselves and the country. Would
the country be „gratified to see the respousible advisers of
the Crown wronging that higher section, who were the
best guarantees for the fidelity of the veople?
Lord HARROWBY supported the Bill.
Their Lordships then divided, when there.appeared—

Several Bills were then forwarde a stage, and the
House Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 11.
The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.
HASTINGS RAILWAY.

Mr..CURTEIS moved that the Soiith-Eastern and

Hastings Railway Bill be recommit d. to the former
Committee to whom the same was referred, and that it
be an instruction to such Committee, that they hare
power, it they think fit, to rescind their resolution on
the preamble of the said Bill, and to consider the ex-
pediency of allowirg the same to pas', for the purpose
of authorising the making of a railway frdra the South-
Eastern Rairway to Rye only.
Mr. VILLIERS STUART thought it inexpedient
to re-open the question which had been decided by the
Committee.

Mr. WHITS, as Chairman of the Committee, was
ready again to go into the question if the House should
think fit.

Mr. EsTcotißT thought the House could not en-
tertain the question in its present shupe. To attain the
object which the Hon. Gentleman had in view, the Com-
pany must give fresh notices, as for a new Bill.
\lr. GLADSTONE trusted that after what had been
stated by the Hon. Member for Oxford, the Hon. Mem-
ber would not press it to a division. Ile thought the
proceedings. were calculated to destroy all confidence in
the-proceedings of the house.
After some discussion,

Dir. oURTEIS withdraw his motion.

Petitions were presented by various MenaLers for and
against the Dit:senters' Chapels Bill, and against the
union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph.
Sir ROBERT INGLIS' presented several petitions
against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill.
Mr. ROSS presented petitions from certain places in
the county of Down, in favour of the Dissenters'
Chapels Bid.
The report of the Manchester Bonding Warehouses
Bill was furthertaken 'into consideration, pro forma only.
NESS FISHERIES BILL.

Mr. BAILLIE moved the third reading of the Ness
Fisheries Bill.

Mr. WALLACE objected to the House, proceeding
any further with the Bill, and contended that a general
measure was the only legitimate way of legislating in such
matters. The attempt which which was now made to
appropriate th►s public fishery to private purposes,, had
been unsuccessful on a former occasion, and would, he
trusted, be so now. In his (Mr.. Wallace's) opinion the
fisheries of England were tuitional property, and con-
sidering that the present was an at tempt to appropriate
such property to private and pers..nal purposes, he
begged to move that the Bill be re..d a third time that
day six months."
Mr. MACKENZIB seconded the amendment. He, was
afraid this Bill was but the commencement of a system
for applying the same principle to other rivers. .
Mr. P. M. STEWART hoped the Hon. Member
for Inverness would persist in asking the Howe
to carry this Bill. The river Ness was ,a pe-
culiar river, and this Bill men ly gave power
that the fish might be taken when they were best in
quality and most abundant. Ile could not, therefore,
see what the public grounds were on which his Hon.
Friend opposed it. It was not denied that under the
present law as applicable to the river Ness, the fish of it
were out of season.

. Mr. B.A.ILLIE thought the . objection to the Bill was
altogether a technical one, and he misted, therefore; that
the House would unanimously support it.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND oppos( d the Bill. He believed
it would be both for the general interest, and the interest
of the parties, that it should be thrown out.
Mr. ELLICE, jun., said the Bill was founded on the
Annan Fishery Bill, passed about three years awbo.
Every. proprietor on the Ness had given his consent to
the Bill.

Mr. GLADSTONE opposed the Bill.
After a few observations from Mr. WARBURTON and
Mr. LIDDELL, strangers Were ordered to withdraw.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For the third reading.

• Majority ......... —9
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
NOTICES OF MOTIONS.
'Mr. CHRISTIE gave notice of a motion for the 9th of
July on the subject of the Danish claims.
Mr. HUME postponed his motion on the subject of
the Royal Academy, until the 9th of July.
Mr. WYSE gave notice that, on the 9th of July, he
should submit a motion to the House on the subject of
the University of Dublin and the College of Maynooth.
Dr. BOWRING postponed till Tuesday next his am-
tion on the present mode of keeping the public acconotS.
The same HON. GENTLEMAN then repeated the ques-
tion which he had put last evening to the Noble Lord
the Secretary for the Colonies, on the subject of
an asserted recent occurrence at the island of. St. Helena.
I:he Hop. Gentleman read a very long statement from a
newspaper, but in so indistinct a tone as to be almost•
wholly inaudible in the gallery. As far as we could
catch his meaning, 'however; we understood the lion.
Gentleman to say that two prizes crowded with.
Africans had arrived at St. Helena—that in both the
that the two cargoes were corn
vessels dysentery was raging to an alarming extent ;
and_ in this state sent on to. the Cape ; and that during
pressed into one vessel,
the voyage there had been a frightful loss of life amongst
the captured negroes.
Lord STANLEY said he was sorry, to be obliged to
allow that to a certain extent the statement just read by
the Hon. Gentleman was torrent, for there had been a
considerable mortality amongst the-. Africans, though not
to the number stated. Out of 337 of these slaves,
eighteen only died on the voyage, fr,,in St. Helena
to the Cape, and twenty after .. reaching that
place. He thought •that it would be. right to state
to the House the precise circumstances of the case. ,
-A great number of slave vessels were brought into St.
He!ena, but great complaints were made of the expense
occasioned .by this, when there -was no accom-
modation or• means of employment for the negroes
when they arrived.. In consequence of this, in-
structions were given, that vessels should be
taken to Sierra Leone, or the -Cape; or some
port 'where employment could be afforded the negroes
when they arrived, It appeared, from the -stateMent of
the -Governor of St.. Helena, that :the Arrow put in to
the island in December, 1843, for the purpose of get-
ting water; and the vessel having been supplied with
Water, she was sent to the Cape. The instructionsissued
emr geeannes of employment for
), and this arose in
'
on this subject were, that all vessels should proceed to
the Cape or Sierra Leone, and should not go to St.
consequence Helena,
excepto
the negroes on the island. , . - • .
.BOWHING expressed a hope that an asylum
Would' be erected to meetcases of such emergency as this.
• Lord PALMERSTON wished. toknow froin.the Noble

beingr emergency,
n mo
Lord whether the Governor confirmed the statement
which a as published as to the condition the negroes were
in when they arrived:
-Lord STANLEY said the statement of the,Goverrior
was that the vessel had put in to get water. He did not
say that the- crew were in so sickly a condition as to pre-
- vent their proceeding from the island.
PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES BILL.
In answer to a question from Mr. BOUVERIE, re-
specting the Presbyterian Marriages BA
• Sir J.-GRAHAM said that the Bill was now in pro-
gress through' the House of Lords : and he had a com-
, munleation, from the Lord Chancellor to.the effect, that
the Bill would shortly arrive in this House.
Mr..GROGAN gave notice of his intention to bring
in a Bill to regulate the payment of Coroners in Ireland.
' -' IRISH REGISTRATION BILL.
Mr. T. I}UNCOMBE said the Government had last
night promised some information on the subject of the
Irish Registration Bill.—(Bear, hear.) Ile begged now
to ask when it was intended to bring on the second read-
ing of the Irish. Registration Bill? •
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was empowered to
state to the Hon. Gentleman, . that her Majesty's Go-
vernment proposed to fix the second reading of the Irish
Registration 'Bill for Monday, the Ist of .July. Upon
that day the
,Government would, if the. 'progress
of other Bills permitted, take ti e use of the House on
the second reading of that Bill. It was also their inten-
