      In All Probability The End Of The Presen...

      IN all probability the end of the present month ' wall see the end of the present session of Parliament- The signs of approaching holidays are sufficiently plain . without reference to the state of the Thames , or even to the explanations of the ClIAXCELLQR . OF THIE EXCHEQUER as to the " conduct of the public business . " Country papers I ell us the . prospects of the coming harvest are highly satisfactory , particularly as regards the parlriihyes , which are ascertained to be plentiful and strong . The news from the moors is such as to make tlic hearts of tlie landlords flutter with thoughts of ini proved rentals for their " shootings "—with cxpcclal ions that . ~\ vill mount prodigiously with the . announcement , that the PiuxcE Consort has taken the shootings of Girnshiel , the property of Mr . ITAUQVirAusox , of Invcrcauld . "VVc have , however , the direct testimony of Mr . Dishatu . i that the session is nearly over , and that Government arc desirous of doing every thing to facilitate the work of Parliament , and to bring its labours to a " satisfactory" conclusion . With this intent , India Bill No . 3 ( modified , or to be modified , by the introduction of amendments equal in bulk to its original self ) has been pushed vigorously forward' in committee . One thing has been very remarkable during the liite debutes—it is that Lord 1 ' al ^ ikrston has lost ground at every step , some of the majorities against him boiir * strikingly large . Ministers have , in fact ., so > trimmed their course as to render serious opposition to their Indian Bill oat of the question , and the chances appear to be in favour of their carrying it pretty nearly in their own form , what ever that may finally be . On the whole of the details of the Council Lord Stanley has been successful with- Hie House , lo tho manifest disadvantage of the Opposition , if there can be auid to be any Opposition nt the present moment . Lord Dkuii y has returned to business in time to have one more last word on the subject of admitting Jews into Parliament . lie accepts Lord Lucan's mode of settlement in preference to thatol Lortl Lyndiiuust , Lord Lucan proposing that eacli House shall lmvc the liberty of admitting by resolution , those whoso conscientious scruples forbid them to use the words " on the true faith of a Christian , " Lord JLyndiiukst proposing that a membei of tho Jewish persuasion should take his seat in the regular way . A majority of H 3 against \) 7 was it : favour of the bill being read a second time ; the

      triumph of the measure , therefore , is pretty well assured , and , if the opinion of the bul k of the people goes for anything , Jews will take their place in Parliament without danger either to the religion or to the constitution of England . Another triumph , the reward of temperate persis tancr , has been achieved in the House of Commons ; that is , the passage through committee of Lord Bury ' s Marriage Law Amendment Bill . The opposition to this most wholesome ' .-measure fairly broke down , and General Thompson , amid shouts of laughter , disposed of the arguments that . have been so long relied upon by those who bold the Lcvitical law as binding upon all peoples to the end of time . Perhaps General Thompson did not go much beyond the mark when'he said that "ninety- - nine persons out of a hundred objee ted to the present slate of the law . " What is certain is , that a thrill of pleasure will run from end to end of the country at the assurance of the rehabilitation of thousands of guiltless women and children under the ban . of the present barbarous law . Bul ; the Church has been active upon another question , namely , Lord Stanhoim-i's motion for an address to Ilun Majesty , with'the view of disencumbering the Book of Common 1 ' rayer oi' certain services , referring to events which have ecased to have any significance , and to poisons whose memory it , is needless to invoke . The whole bench of bishops fought for the retention of the whole of the present Prayer-book absurdities , in their dread of aihn it ting the point of the reformatory wedge . The motion , however , with a slight alteration , was agreed to . The representatives of the Church have been in a better state of mind with reference to the subject of the Sequestration of Livings . ltccent scandals have brought the evils of the present , condition of Ihc law into painful prominence , and Lord St . Lr . ONAiiD . s inquired of the Archbishop of C \ ntku # - iu'uy , on Tuesday evening , whether he intended to introduce a bill having in view the determent of incumbents from getting into debt on the security of their livings , and to compel Ilium lo reside and perform their duties all hough their livings were under sequestration . Lord Ukdicsdai . k made a remark that went to tho heart of tho question : lie said that , " when the dillioullirs were of such a character that they could not , be met by any reasonable arrangement , he Ihought lh < s living ought to be declared vacant , and some othor person instituted who coidd command tho respeel of the parishioners . " At present a sequestrated living leaves the parish to the spiritual charge of an ill-paid

      and possibly ¦ incompetent- ' curate , . to the manifest wrong and injury of the ratepayers . A measure is being prepared to meet the evil , but will not be ready for presentation to the House before next year . ' . ¦ ' ,- ' . ' ,.. ' ¦¦¦¦ . '' . ' . '¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ The Members' Freedom from Arrest Bill—the natural pendant of the Abolition of Qualification Bill—has passed the second reading with the handsome maj ority of 129 to 75 . The strongest objection that was . urged .-io the measure was , that at times of political crises gentlemen wLo had " contracted pecuniary obligations which they could not meet , " might be subject to . pressure for party purposes ; but such an objection faded away before the answering argument of Mr . Huut , the mover of the second rending of t lie bill , that no such honourable members should act as the chairmen of railway committees , or of any other » committees which dealt with important interests . Still tho talk is of committees and of commissions , and of inquiries into the state of the Thames . If it wore possible , even now , when the horrid stench is almost enough to drive Parliament out of its magnificent , place of meeting , there arc honourable members who would deny that there is anything very wrong about the- river , and one has denounced the extravagance of . spending four or live thousand pounds in disinfecting the sewage l ) cforc caul ing it into the . fermenting Thames . IWlunnldy , while these points are being discussed and rediscu-ssed , the heat of the wcathir Jims been greatly reduced ; the dangers that , wen : imminent hist week being , therefore , for the moment averted , l ' ut the question of a proper druiiuigtsof vast London must be settled , and the sum , whether it he live , ten , or fifteen millions , must br found lo save London from being plague-stricken , if not this coming stutunm , perhaps within half a dozen hunnnerw . Tlut prominent fact in the lule news from India is , that , the notorious ( iwalior contingent luis a I ; last been dealt with , mid sharply chastised . Jf ' or a long time past it had been concentrated at Calpee , as if waiting and preparing to make , some great movement againht the . European forces . Whatever may have been the intentions of the leaders of ili ' m force , t liuy have all been frustrated by ( ho successful operations of Sir 11 r < ni J { o ,- > io , who , after lighting his way . steadily forward lor weeks , drove I hem out of their . stronghold paiiK .
