IRISH MUNICIPAL BILL.

On the motion of Lord JOHN ilussEm. for resuming the
consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Irish Muni-
cipal Bill,
Mr. BAL r. "objected to that part of the amendments by
which charitable trusts were to continue to be Vested in the
present corporations during their lives, or until parliament
should otherwise determine," and moved that the Committee
disagree from that amendment.

'Phis led to a long discussion.
This dispute was at length settled by Lord MORPETH pro-
posing to alter the clauses thus :—" No persons, except mem-
bers of the united Church, be appointed by the Lord
Chancellor trustees for trusts connected with the united
Church."

This amendment, after some conversation was agreed to.
The other clauses up to 161 inclusive were agreed to;
after which

" Several new clauses were proposed by Lord Monmiii,
for the purpose of giving power to certain towns, not in-
cluded in the Act, to apply the provisions of the Act of the
9th of George IV."
This led to a smart discussion, but the clauses were im-
mediately agreed to, after a division and a majority of 19.
After some further discussion, a committee was appointed to
draw up reasons for dissenting from the Lords' amendments,
which were ordered to be stated in a conference with the
Lords.

On the order of the day for going into committee of Ways
and Means,
Sir F. Tr:Esc!' moved for a Select Committee to inquire
into those cases in which the Irish government has offered
rewards for the apprehension or conviction of offenders against
the laws, and in which such rewards or any portion of them
have not been paid after such apprehension or conviction,
and into these causes why they have been withheld.
Lord MORPETFI defended the system, and the motion was
withdrawn.

The Affirmation Bill, which extends the exemption from
'taking an oath to all those who had ever been at any period
of their. lives Quakers or Moravians, was after some dis-
cussion and opposition, passed through a committee.
The Oaths Validity Bill went through 'a stage.
The Irish Spirit Licences Bill was opposed by Mr. SHAW,
and supported by Mr. O'CoNNELL. It was committed by a
majority of 5, but nothing was done in committee, which is
to sit again on Monday.
Mr, RICE obtained leave to bring in a bill to repeal the
Four-and-a-half per Cent Duties.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at a quarter past 2 o'clock.

COMMERC [AL INTELLIGENCE AND
MONEY MARKET.

CITY, SATURDAY EVENING

The public funds have exhibited generally a gloomy and
declining appearance all the week. The state of the Corn
Market is now the great index to which speculators and ca-
pitalists. look. There are certainly indications of a tempo-
rary deficiency of old corn in England and the northern
parts of Europe until the growing crops are got in and fit for
use, and the unsettled state of the weather gives an increased
stimulus to the disposition to buy and import foreign corn, of
which a considerable quantity, probably nearly 700,000 quar-
ters are now in bond. Con Sols closed to-day 93i money,
and 934 % for account. Bank Stock, 2006 7%. Exche-
quer Bills have been a little in deMand, and have improved
to 75 77 pin., which is an advance of 3s to 4s during the week.
The f oreigu Market has been equally dull. The news
from Portugal is considered very unfavourable; the Five per
Cent. Stock declined l per cent, it is now 31 ; and the
Three per Cents. 221 23. Spanish Active has partaken of
the decline, and is '21% N. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. 541 4. Brazilian 804
The Share Market requires no particular observation. Se-
veral of the Railway Companies have their annual meetings
this month; and it is reported that many changes in the di-
rection are in contemplation. The subjoined quotations will
show that there has been no great variation in any descrip-

Tranby colt went off with the lead at a good pace, Heron
lying second, and Mahometan third, the others following
in their wake: they 'kept these places to the top of the hill,
where the running was taken up by Heron, Mahometan fol-
lowing him for a few strides, when St. Luke took the second

place; Loutherbourg at the same time taking up a position in
front. They ran in this order to the rails, where Heron
dropped-behind, and St. Luke became " first in the throng;"
Loutherbourg, however, was not disposed to let him keep
there long, fur, Las they approached the distance, he went to
his side. and a flue struggle for victory commenced; it was
nearly head and head to the stand, where it was apparent
that St. Luke had shot his bolt. About twenty yards from
the chair, Loutherbourg made him safe, and in the end won
cleverly by a length. Heron was third, Mahometan fourth,
and Valentissimo fifth ; but none of them near the first two.

Poor Barnes, the clown of Covent-garden and the contem-
porary on the boards of Bologna, Ellar, and Grimaldi, is
said to be in great distress. Paralysed by premature age
and incurable decrepitude, the " brief candle" of his life is
now flickering in its socket, and appeals to the hands of hu-
manity for some nourishment to feed the last faint vestiges of
a lambent flame that nature, in her settled course, must soon
extinguish.
PATRICK'S DEvoTlor4.—On Sunday morning last, imme-
diately preceding the Communion service, three liishmen
entered Trinity Church, Preston, one of whom walked down
the aisle to the front of the Communion Table, where having
made the sign of the cross in the true popish style, he knelt
in great earnestness, but the potations of 'spirits' he had
taken were more powerful than his desire to worship in
`spirit and in truth' and in a few minutes he rolled on the
floor. He was, of course, immediately carried out to the
momentary interruption bf the service and amidst looks of
pity from the congregation.--Blackburn Standard.

THE REv. DR. WOLFF AT THE VICE-REGAL LODGE.—The
Rev. Dr. Wolff had the honor of dining yesterday with hiS
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant at the Vice-Regal Lodge.
In the evening the Rev. Doctor lectured for three hours on
his missiouary operations in the four quarters of the world in
connection with the evidences of christianity, before his ex-
cellency, the Household and Staff. Upwards of fifty persons
were present, and amongst the number, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Dublin.—Dublin Record.

The following has just come to band :—" Hiram Mudger,
who has been recently convicted of horse stealing at Ver-
mont, U.S., is said to be so expert a practitioner in animal
abduction, as to have performed the rare feat of seducing
away a horse on which its master was riding without his (the
rider, not the horse) having any notion of the matter. 'the
report adds, that he walked fifty-four miles at a sharp trot,
and only then discovered his horseless condition on walking
into a pond, to give, as he thought, his horse a drink, and
finding himself up to his ears in the cool element."

The radical town councils select their aldermen on exac

the same principl. as that on which Lord Melbourne chooses
his faggot peers. The qualification for the gown isjust such a
flaw in the candidate's political or' private fame as shall have
caused his defeat in a municipal election contest ; whilst the
sole test for a liberal lord is his rejection as an "unfit" and
"improper" person to be the representative of a town or
county.

ORDINATION AT RIPON.

On Sunday, July 29, the Lord Bishop of Ripon held an
ordination at the Cathedral in that city, which was attended
by a large congregation. Service commenced at 10. The
Rev. J. Jameson read the prayers, and the Rev. R. Poole,
M.A., Vicar, read the lessons. After which the Rev. Mr.
Dodgson, Chaplain to the Bishop, ascended the pulpit, and
delivered a very excellent and appropriate discourse front 1
Corinthians, chap. 12, verse 1, and particularly impressed
upon the several candidates for Hold• Orders, the serious
charge they were undertaking in dispensing the Word of
God to fallen man. At the conclusion of the sermon the
Bishop, accompanied by the clergy present, proceeded to the
altar, and the ordination service was performed with the
greatest solemnity. The following gentlemen were received
into Holy Orders:—
