ABOLITION OF CHURCH-RATES.

IT is so seldom that we can find anything to
approve in the conduct of the ministerial leader in
the House of Commons, that we gladly seize the
opportunity afforded by the discussion on Tuesday
last. A Motion was niade for a Bill to abolish all
Church-rates, without encumbering the question
by any proposal for a substitute, and it received the
support of pseudo-Churchmen, with the usual array
of Radicals, Dissenters, and Infidels, of which,
unfortunately, the legislature has far too large a
proportion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, however, to his
credit, opposed the scheme upon the intelligible
principle that churches were national structures,
and ought to be maintained by the nation ; and
also, because he thought that any concessions made
to feelings hostile to the Church were hot likely
to be satisfied by surrendering Church-rates. What
shall we say, however, of the heir of the house of
Derby, who, with great professions of zeal for the
Church, thought the amount in question too small
to be made a bone of contention, and willing, there-
fore, to leave the maintenance of national structures
to voluntary aid, voted for the abolition of Church-
rates P When his father was called upon to assume
the most responsible office in the State, he avowed
that the sole object he had in view was, in the
beautiful language of the liturgy, "the safety,
honour, and welfare of our Sovereign and her
dominions ;" but the son must have sadly degene-
rated from the principles of the father, if he seeks
to accomplish his end by destroying the only means
of religious instruction afforded for the poor,
leaving it to the uncertainty, or rather certain
failure of the voluntary principle. To the credit of
Churchmen, they have been unceasing in their
exertions, and munificent in their contributions, for
the foundation of our churches; and yet this is
adduced as a reason why the public should be
saved from the paltry amount of 'rate required to
maintain the structures requisite for national wor-
ship. There is something so utterly absurd in the

SALE OF THE TAILEUR.

A numerous company was attracted to the office of
Messrs. Cunard, Munu and Co., ship brokers, yesterday,
in consequence of an announcement that the wreck of the
Tayleur, as she now lies off Lambay Island, would be
offered for sale by auction. The conditions of sale stated
that the owners did not guarantee to the purchasers any
right to the goods, treasure, or effects that might be on
j board the ship. This gave rise to considerable discussion,
which was followed by the reading of an agreement be-
tween the consignees of the ship and Mr. Shannon, of
Dublin, in which the latter undertakes to raise the cargo,
casks, provisions, &c.,on receiving as salvage 50 per cent.
on the value of the property recovered. The agreement
stated that Mr. Shannon was to commence operations as
soon as the weather was favourable, and recover the cargo
as quickly as possible. It appears that some of the cargo
has already been raised by Mr. Shannon under the terms
of the agreement. No time was fixed for the completion
of Mr. Shannon's contract, and it was urged that the exist-
ence of the agreement was an obstacle in the way of pur-
chasing the ship, as there might be ditfictilty in raising her
while the agreement remained in force. One gentleman
was of opinion that, in the event of the vessel being sold,
according to the conditions which had been read, the pur-
chaser would have uncontrolled power over the vessel, and
would not be bound to recognise the agreement with Mr.
Shannon. The brokers then invited the gentlemen to hid
for the Tayleur, according to the conditions which had
been read, upon which much laughter was caused by a
gentleman shouting out, " I'll give you £5 for her, for its
all she is worth." The sum of £lOO was the next bid,
and this was quickly followed by a third bid of £l2O.
The bidding continued tolerably brisk until it got up to
the sum of ±3OO, when it began to lag. The brokers here
stated that there was no reserve whatever, but that the
vessel must be sold, let the bidding be ever so low. They
farther stated that the cordage, canvass, chains, and cables
alone were estimated at considerably more than the pre-
sent bidding, as the ship was now lying. The vessel was
ultimately knocked down to Messrs. Dutton and Nephew,
of this town, for £lBO. It was the opinion of several pre-
sent that the purchasers have made a capital bargain, as
there is reason to believe that the vessel can be raised.
The Tayleur was a new ship of upwards of 2,000 tons bur-
then, and was built at Warrington.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The General Screw Steamship Company's mail steamer
Indiana, Captain Lambert, arrived at Plymouth on Satur-
day, with the mails from the East Indies and the Cape of
Good Hope, a general cargo of silk and indigo, and 158
passengers, among whom are the Bishop of Natal and
Commissary-General Maclean, from the Cape. Her dates
are, Calcutta, March 15: Madras, March 20 ; Ceylon,
March 24; Mauritius, April 4; Cape, April 20; St.
Helena, April 25 ; Ascension, May 2 ; St. Vincent's, May
12 ; Lisbon, May 23. Trade at Mauritius was healthy,
but the principal articles of food scarce. His Excellency
the Governor, whose sight is affected, proceeds to England
for surgical advice. The weather had been favourable for
the coming sugar crop : the quantity, it was expected,
would amount to 100,000 tons. The Saltany had arrived
there from Calcutta with 360 coolies. She lost 25 pas-
sengers from cholera. The mail steamer Mauritius
arrived there on the 19th March. At the Cape the gold
excitement still continued, and it was stated that the
probable extent of the " fields" was very great. The
present insignificant results were attributed to the want
of adequate labour appliances. Copper ore was found in
some abundance. The abandonment of the Orange River
Sovereignty was carried into full effect. General Cathcart
was to leave the colony by the next opportunity. At
Natal sickness among the horses and cattle prevailed to a
great extent. The crops were luxuriant. H. M. S.
Racehorse and Saracen arrived at the Cape on the 18th
April. The Earl of Balcarries, from Bombay, with
troops, put into Table Bay, March 30th, totally dismasted
by a hurricane in the Mozambique Channel. The steamer
Australian was expected to leave for' England within a
few days after the Indiana. The mail steamer Argo left
Table Bay on the 29th March, with the outward mails.
The mail steamer Propontis left St. Helena 13th April.
The Philomel and Tortoise were at Ascension. The.
United States corvette Marion was at St. Vincents.
H. M. S. Locust sailed thence for England, May 12th.
The Medea left Lisbon for Jamaica on the 22d May. The
Indiana put in there for coals the following day. Vessels

THE W A R.

The Times' Paris correspondent writes on Sunday even-
ing, that a private telegraphic despatch had been received
from Vienna, announcing that the storming of the fort
Abdul lledjid, by the Russians, was followed by its cap-
ture, not, however, without a loss to them of 1,500 men.
Although no official despatch has been received, confirming
the fact, yet the news is expected to reach, from one hour
to another, that the fort referred to, and that even Silistria,
had capitulated.
The Moniteur publishes the account of the bombard-
ment of Hangoe, already transmitted.

BOMBARDMENT OF HANGOE.

(From the Second Edition of the Daily News.)

PARIS, MONDAY.—Despatches have been received here
to-day from Copenhagen, under date May 28th, which
bring the intelligence that three steam frigates of the
British fleet had destroyed the outworks of the fortress of
Hangoe. The English had three men killed, and some
wounded ; the Russian loss was considerable. The Magi-
cienne, by which the news was brought to Copenhagen,
had left Sir C. Napier before Hangoe on the 23rd, and he
was about to attack the principal fort.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1854,

THE LOSS OF THE TIGER.

:WE presume it is now placed beyond doubt that
the accident which lately befel the Tiger steamer
was correctly reported, so far as the matter of fact
is concerned, and Her Majesty's navy is minus
the vessel. Our onlyrreason for now referring to
the subject is to express surprise at the concern
which the circumstance seems to have given rise
to throughout the country. Both in Parliament
and out of Parliament public men have thought it
necessary to shrug their shoulders, shake their
heads, and look grave on the matter, as if some
calamity had befallen the nation. What, after all,
does it amount to ? Why, that one of Her
Majesty's steam-ships, .rated sixteen guns in the
navy list, accidentally ran on shore during a thick
fog, on a coast which •as -yet is but little known to
English navigators. The ship was stranded and
became a wreck, which is a common occurrence
with steam-ships under like circumstances. But
the officers and crew were made prisoners. Of
course they were, because the coast happened to
be in possession of the Russians, with whom we
are at war. But for this ,circumstance the acci-
dent would scarcely have deserved more than an
ordinary paragraph in the papers. But it was
surely making a mountain .of a mole-hill when it
occasioned discussions and anxious inquiry in both
Houses of Parliament for two or three nights.
Had the ship made an unsuccessful attempt on
the coast, been beaten off, and thus led to the
disaster, there might have been a shadow of
excuse for the minute inquiries in Parliament ; it
might have shown imprudence and want of judg-
ment on the part of the commander in assailing
a place that was too strong for him. But there
was nothing of the sort ; it was from the first
reported as an accident—one of those casualties
to which every ship is liable, whether in peace or
war. If the Tiger had surrendered to a ship of
equal or even superior force, there might have
been some cause for regret and inquiry ; it would
have been considered a bad omen at the breaking
out of war ; but being lost purely through an ac-
cident, which neither skill, prudence, nor courage
could have averted, it is highly injudicious on the
part of noble peers and honourable commoners to
view it in such serious light. Surely it is not to
be expected that England can carry on such a war
as she has embarked in without meeting some
casualties, and even reverses ; but if every trifling
occurrence is to be made the subject of Parlia-
mentary discussion and public regret, it will have
the worst effect upon the minds of the people; it
will impress them with a belief that matters are
not going on as favourably to our arms as the
spirit of the nation evidently leads them to expect.
We therefore hope that we shall hear no more of
the loss of the Tiger but as a maritime casualty,
which has fortunately been attended with very
little loss of life.—Shipping and Mercantile

THE LOSS 6F THE TIGER.

The Vienna paper Presse says the Tiger's guns were
dismounted. Three Russian guns killed 20 men, and
wounded 33 severely. To the request of the English
Admiral, that the prisoners might be exchanged, the
Russian General answered that he must apply to Prince
Paskiewitch for orders. The reply was that, if the men
were not liberated by the 20th, Odessa would be reduced
to a heap of ruins. The inhabitants of the city were in a
state of extreme anxiety. Another account says the
captain has had his leg amputated, and that the midship-
man who had both his legs shot away is dead. Also, that
negotiations were open for an exchange of prisoners.

There is no later news from the Baltic than the an-
nouncement of the positive fact that the detached forts at
Hangoe are captured.
No further telegraphic advices from Turkey or the Black
Sea.

Berlin the government is in the hands of a party which
hopes to turn the engagement with Austria to the ad-
vantage of their master, the Emperor of Russia.
The Times does not doubt that nothing would so effec-
tually strengthen the authority of our diplomatic agents
as the news of some important military or naval success.
It is on our military and natal power that the allied
courts rely to maintain that ascendancy in the affairs of
Europe and the East which they have been compelled to
assume, and all the protocols which may be signed in
Europe ought not to retard for a single day those opera-
tions which can alone give effect to them.
The Times -city article says, a strict blockade of the
Baltic and Black Sea ports is intended, but the White
Sea is excepted, and trade with Archangel will be conti-
nued as usual, so far as neutral ships are concerned. The
reasons for the exception are not yet understood.
The Daily News has a Bremen letter, which says, the
vast merchant quarter of Riga has been levelled to the
ground for fear of a landing of the allied forces.

COTTON.—The market during the week up to
Friday was in an unsatisfactory state, owing to
the large quantity thrown on the market of recent
arrivals, and prices were again reduced about *d.
per lb. on middling and lower qualities. The sales
were 41,050 bales, of which 2,370 were taken on
speculation, 4,950 for exportation, and 33,730 for
the trade. On Saturday, however, there were
signs of improvement, and the sales reached 7,000
bales, but there was no advance in prices. To-DAY
the advices per Africa were received, confirming
previous accounts of damage by frost to the grow-
ing crops. They have, however, but little effect
on this market, which is governed more by home
affairs, and the state of the money market, which
is continually improving, discount being easier
and the funds continuing to rise. There was a
much better demand, and the sales reached 8,000
bales, of which about 2,000 were taken on specu-
lation and for export, but prices were without
alteration, and the market closed steady. The
following is a comparison of present rates with
those of the corresponding period last year :

SALE OF THE TAYL_EUR.

A numerous company was attracted to the office of
Messrs. Cunard, Munn and Co., ship brokers, yesterday,
in consequence of an announcement that the wreck of the
! Tayleur, as she now lies off Lambay Island, would be
offered for sale by auction. The conditions of sale stated
1 that the owners did not guarantee to the purchasers any
right to the goods, treasure, or effects that might be on
I board the ship. This gave rise to considerable discussion,
I which was followed by the reading of an agreement be-
tween the consignees of the ship and Mr. Shannon, of
Dublin, in which the latter undertakes to raise the cargo,
casks, provisions, &c., on receiving as salvage 50 per cent.
on the value of the property recovered. The agreement
stated that Mr. Shannon was to commence operations as
I soon as the weather was favourable, and recover the cargo
as quickly as possible. It appears that some of the cargo
has already been raised by Mr. Shannon under the terms
of the agreement. No time was fixed for the completion
of Mr. Shannon's contract, and it was urged that the exist-
ence of the ag-reement was an obstacle in the way of pur-
lchasing the ship, as there might be difficulty in raising her
while the agreement remained in force. One gentlemen
was of opinion that, in the event of the vessel being sold,
according to the conditions which had been read, the pur-
chaser would have uncontrolled power over the vessel, and
would not be bound to recognise the agreement with Mr.
Shannon. The brokers then invited the gentlemen to bid
for the Tayleur, according to the conditions which had
been read, upon' which much laughter was caused by a
gentleman shouting out, " I'll give you £.5 for her, for its
all she is worth." The sum of £lOO was the next bid,
and this was quickly followed by a third bid of £l2O.
The bidding continued tolerably brisk until it, got up to
the sum of £/JO, when it began to lag. The brokers here
stated that there was no reserve whatever, but that the
vessel must be sold, let the bidding be ever so low. They
further stated that the cordage, canvass, chains, and cables
alone were estimated at considerably more than the pre-
sent bidding, as the ship was now lying. The vessel was
ultimately knocked down to Messrs. Dutton and Nephew,
of this town, for £lBO. It was the opinion of several pre-
sent that the purchasers have made a capital bargain, as
there is reason to believe that the vessel can be raised.
The Tayleur was rt new ship of upwards of 2,000 tons bur-
then, and was built at Warrington.

THE W A R.

The Times' Paris correspondent writes on Sunday even-
ing, that a private telegraphic despatch had been received
from Vienna, announcing that the storming of the fort
Abdul INledjid, by the Russians, was followed by its cap-
ture, not, however, without a loss to them of 1,500 men.
Although no official despatch has been received, confirming
the fact, yet the news is expected to reach, from one hour
to another, that the fort referred to, and that even Silistria,
had capitulated.
The Moniteur publishes the account of the bombard-
ment of Hangoe, already transmitted.

BOMBARDMENT OF HANGOE.
(From the Second Edition of the Daily News.)

MONDAY.—Despatches have been received here
to-day from Copenhagen, under date May 28th, which
bring the intelligence that three steam frigates of the
British fleet had destroyed the outworks of the fortress of
Hangoe. The English had three men killed, and some
wounded ; the Russian loss was considerable. The Magi-
cienne, by which the news was brought to Copenhagen,
had left Sir C. Napier before Hangoe on the 23rd, and he
was about to attack the principal fort.

AFRICA.

Her Majesty's screw - steamer Teazer, Lieutenant
F. D. Rich, tender to the Penelope; arrived in the
Sound on Wednesday evening. She left Ascension on the
6th of April, arrived at the Goree the 25th, left on the
27th, arrived at Fayal on the 12th of May, and sailed
therefrom on the 16th. The Tortoise, commander Kitchen,
was at Ascension. The Britomart was expected hourly.
The Ferret and Myridon were at Sierra Leone. A French
squadron of five ships, with a commodore's broad pendant,
was at Goree. On the 3rd of May, in lat. 21'36, long.
25'57 W., spoke the Maria Hay, from Plymouth for Aus-
tralia, with government emigrants—all well. At Fayal
there was a dismasted French ship with 360 emigrants,
bound to New York. She had been three weeks at the
island. On the 19th inst., in lat. 45 N., long. 24 W.,
passed the side of a large vessel, supposed to be that of a
timber-laden ship. The Teazer left Plymouth on the 23rd
of April, 1851, and has been employed since on the coast.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.

By the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain
Nye, which arrived on Wednesday, we had intelligence
from New York to the 13th inst. The Pacific brought
205 passengers, and $451,511 in specie. She spoke the
Washington near New York, which had taken the crew
and passengers off a wreck. The Nebraska Bill was still
under discussion in the house, and had given rise to a
fracas. The profit of the monopoly of Peruvian guano by
England had been discussed. The efforts to raise the
Ericsson had been attended with success. The New York
market was easier, and the demand from the mercantile
community decidedly less pressing. Great caution was
exercised in making new engagements, and fewer orders
were sent to Europe for goods. The receipts of gold from
California showed no diminution, the receipts from the Ist
of January being $18,000,000. The fluctuations in the
stool market had not been important : there was little
spec Live demand. Exchange on London, 109 to 1091,
Trading in all its departments was dull. The market
ruled firm for cotton, particularly for middlings, which aro

scarce at an advance of f, c. to The flour market was
much depressed, and prices had declined 121 c. to 25c. The
receipts were increasing, but no demand existed either for
home use or export. Indian corn was also lower. The
market for praiisions continued depressed for all articles.
