W hether any body deserves praise or blame in his own particular case fo r caring most for tho particular object for which he does care most, is, o f course, a totally different question. A l l that we contend fo r is, that inasmuch as any object is nearest to his heart, the theory o f the constitution is, that he should g ive his vote with reference to it. There has lately been forwarded to every Catholic Parish Priest and Curate in Ireland an anonymous pamphlet, “ F or whom will y ou v o te ? B y an Irish Catholic.” I t is a wretched re-hash o f the old commonplaces in favour o f the W h ig s , and its argument against Independent Opposition is the shallow pretence which we have ju st unmasked that it is un constitutional.

The motion was agreed to. Lord W estmeath, who had a notice on the paper for the second reading of a Bill to regulate the form of worship in tho Church of England, consented to withdraw it at the suggestion of Lord Derby and Lord Granville, and the order was discharged. The Poor Law Board Continuance Bill was read a second time. Tho Prisons Bill and the Greenwich Hospital Bill passed through committee. Several Bills were read a third time. The amendments of the House of Commons to the Clerical Subscriptions Bill were considered. With two exceptions, these amendments were agreed to. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes after 7. The House of Commons having resolved itself into a committee upon the East India Revenue Accounts, Sir C. W ood, evidently labouring under indisposition, in commencing his statement of the Indian finances, expressed his doubt whether, from th« state of his voice, ho should bo able to go through tbe statement, which ho should make, he said, as short as possible. He began by stating the net revenue of the year 1863-64, the last of which the actual result was furnished, which showed a surplus of ¿£78,000, the surplus of the preceding year being ¿£1,827,000, a falling off of £1,749,000. He then showed the prospects, according tc estimate, of the years 1864-65 and 1865-66, explaining the circumstances which would influence the amounts of income and expenditure, favourably or unfavourably, especially tho Budget estimate of the former year, \vhich had promised a surplus of £823,000, likely to prove illusive. He then noticed the financial statement of Sir C. Trevelyan, expressing his surprise at the abandonment ot tho Incometax, and his conviction that the state of the finances would impose upon tho Indian Government the necessity of strict economy. Export duties, he thought, should have been one of the hist resources for recruiting the revenue, and as soon as he learnt this proposal, he telegraphed to India that he should not allow them, and directed,the repayment of duties levied, lie alluded to the increase of prices in India, and particularly at Bombay, and to the ruinous extent of speculation at that Presidency, and its effect upon prices, and noticed likewise tho rumours respecting tho Bank of Bombay. He explained his views regarding a loan in England for the service of India, and, after stating tho large sums expended in India upon public works, exclusive of railways, he adverted to the improvements in India. He referred to the augmented growth of cotton, and to the effects produced by it, and by the increased price of the article upon the cultivation of other products of the soil With respect to the inquiry instituted by Sir John Lawrence in Oude, much misapprehension, he observed, bad prevailed. He explained the object and limits of the inquiry, Avhich was merely to remove doubts as to the rights of the Talookdars establishing and preserving all existing titles. After stating the causes of the Bhootan war, tho policy of the government in relation to it, and its actual condition, he concluded his speech, which had been frequently interrupted by weakness and failure of voice. Mr. Seymour, Mr. Bazley, Colonel Sykes, Mr. Kinnaird, and Mr. W . Ewart continued the discussion in a house varying from six to eight members, including themselves. The remaining business having been disposed of, the house adjourned at 9 o'clock. D E A T H O F S IR W I L L I A M LAW SON , B A R T . W e regret to announce the death o f one of the worthiest and most esteemed of that generation of Catholics which is rapidly passing away from amidst us, who attained manhooa before emancipation, and retained to tho last, in all its freshness, the old tradition o f the English Catholic gentleman. Sir William Lawson died at Brough, on Thursday, June 22. His health had been declining for some months, and his decease was not unexpected but there is no time at which, in a community like onrs the loss of one of its leading members is not lamented when, as in the case o f Sir William Lawson, we lose an example o f those characteristics which give the truly Catholic head o f a truly Catholic family in England an interest beyond his own circle, and cause him to bo known and respected wherever the ties o f a common faith are recognised. Sir William Lawson was a Catholic of the old school. Nothing that was Catholic was indifferent to him. l i e identified his religion with himself and himself with his religion. Ilis works survive him, and the church and schools which he erected at Brough will perpetuate his memory. The Baronetage tells us that Sir W illiam Lawson, Bart., ol' Brough Ilall, Yorkshin was the second son of the late John Wright, Esq., of Kelvedon, Essex, by the daughter and co-heir o f Sir John Lawson, Bart., o f Brough Hall. He was born in 179G, at Middleton Lodge, Aliddleton Tyas, Yorkshire, and married, 1625, Clarinda, only daughter and heiress of John Lawson, Esq., AI.D., of York (who had he survived Sir Henry Lawson, the last Baronet of that line, would have inherited the title and family estates). in May, 1834, Air. W illiam Wright assumed by royal licence the name o f Lawson in lieu o f his patronymic, upon succeeding to the estates o f his maternal grandfather, Sir John Lawson, Bart. He was created a baronet in August, 1841. He was appointed a Deputy-Lieutenant o f Yorkshire in 1844, and In the same year received the Order o f Christ from l ’ ope Gregory X V I . .T he deceased baronet is succeeded by his eldest son, now Sir John Lawson, Bart., of Brough lla ll, who was born in 1829, and married in 1856 the eldest daughter o f Frederick Gerard, Esq., of Asputl House, Lancashire. the bit o f land t worth c a r i r Pc°hvm+; , ’ 111 tne Slucere feel tho bit, nf , f “ r b v i°-n tbat there is nothing so well > y nna as t,hn bumble ho bundde homo and >led to sup babe, and fives that “ lakf'q Ma .?

D eath of tiie E arl of Denbigh.— T his nobleman died from a severe congestion o f the lungs on Sunday last, at his residence at Hampstead. l i e married, 8th May, 1822, Lady Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Thomas, first Earl o f Ducie, by whom, who died in D e cember, 1842, he leaves issue Viscount Feilding (now Earl of Denbigh). The late earl was for many years connected with the court of King William IV ., and his illustrious Queen Adelaide, to whom he was Master o f the Horse at her death. T he number of Patients relieved at the Hospital for Diseases of the Heart, 67, Margaret-street, Cavendish&square, Was 101 during the week. j / r i f c a p s X r t o s . Paris, June 29.—An Imperial decree has been issued todaydissolving the Municipal Councils, and ordering the new elections to take place on the 22d of July. The Marquis de Lavalette, Minister of the Interior, has published a circular, in which he says that as local questions only have to be decided at those elections, he recommends to tho Prefects that the electors should bo allowed to manifest their choice spontaneously, and should only be interfered with if imprudent persons attempt to alter the character of the elections by importing questions of a political nature. The Patrie of this evening states that the negotiations betweon Rome and Mexico are still proceeding. Tho same paper announces that M. Eloin returned to Paris on Tuesday last. In the Corps Legislatif to-day the Bill relative to the construction on the Champ-de-Mars of the building for the International Exhibition was passed by 212 to 27 votes. Florence, June 29—The King has set out for Valdieri. Signor Vegezzi has left for Turin, after having boen received by the King. Tho Opinione of to-day, alluding to the statement of the Vienna papers that Baron Bach did not interfere in the negotiation between Italy and the Pope, says that Baron Kubner was in Rome upon a mission to prevent the success of the negotiations. Tho Nazione states that the negotiations with the Pope have not only been interrupted, but broken off. Berlin, June 29.—The ratifications of the Commercial Treaty between Belgium and tho Zollveroin, concluded on the' 22nd of May last, were exchanged to-day at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Berlin, June 29.—The official Stoats'-anzeiger of to-day says:— “ The rumour of the recall of Prince Ilohenlohe, in consequence of tho protest forwarded by the SchleswigHolstein Government, is unfounded. The Prince will complete the inquiry for which he has been despatched. Herr von Zedlitz, in answer to tho protest of tho Government of Schleswig-Holstein, replied that he could discover no cause for such a recall, there not being the remotest reason to suppose that tile Prince had exceeded tho limits of his instructions. V ienna, June 29.— The Ministerial crisis still continues, It is stated at I’esth among the magnates that Count Moritz Almasy will fdl tho office of Minister of Finance in the Austrian Cabinet. At any rate, negotiations for the acceptance of a portfolio have been commenced with the count. New Y ork, June 17.—Nothing further has transpired iu relation to the case of Jefferson Davis. Alexander H. Stephens and Postmaster Reagan are still in Fort Warren. Mr. Stephens is said to be rapidly failing in health* Tho only new development of importance irt the conspiracy trial is in relation to a draft for 25,000 dols., purporting to have been drawn on the Montreal branch of the Ontario Bank in August, 1864, in favour of Benjamin Wood, editor of the New York Daily Neivs. Mr. D. L. Eastwood, assistant manager of the bank, testified that Jacob Thompson deposited in that institution funds accruing from the negotiation of bills of exchange drawn by the Confederate Secretary of the Treasury upon Confederate agents in Liverpool, and tbat Thompson ordered 25,000 dols. to be paid to Mr. Wood, and that the money was sent to the City Bank of New York, subject to Mr. Wood’s order. The bill was produced in court, and Mr. Wood’s indorsement on it, identified by Judge A. D. Russell aud George Wilkes, editor of the sporting paper Spirit o f the Times. It is said that an order has been issued for the arrest of Mr. Wood. The evidence has finally all been taken, and on Monday next the argument for the defence opens. It is understood that Reverdy Johnson has determined to attempt the impeachment of several members of tho court. Tho health of Secretary Seward continued to improve. He now regularly attends to business and converses cheerfully with his friends, though his jaw is still supported by au iron framework. The condition of Mr. Frederick W . Seward is also encouraging. Sheridan was in New Orleans on the 10th inst., organising and forwarding the forces designed for the occupation of Texas. Custer’s cavalry had already been despatched thither, and would be followed in a few days by the 13th Corps, under General Gordon Granger, and a portion of the 7th Corps under General Steele. T he N ew Spanish Government.— The Paris correspondent o f the Guardian discusses the position and prospects of the 0 ‘I)onnell Ministry in the following passege :— The political revolution, for it seems to amount to such, which has taken place in Spain, does not meet with much favour from any party in this country. There is a fa lse air o f Liberalism about it which quite fails to win the confidence o f those who, as politicians, might otherwise be naturally disposed to regard the movement with satisfaction. The Liberal journals set forth the antecedents of the men who have proclaimed this new order of things, and remembering what most of them were and what principles they professed so recently, suspect treachery and mutter “ Timeo Danaos.” What probability, or even possibility, they ask, is there that Mr. Herrara, for instance, who so lately distinguished himself by his implacable severity, as Minister of the Interior, against the press, should now, with good faith, reassume the same office on the understanding that the press is to be absolutely free ? The entire Ministry, in fact, first comes into office through an intrigue o f the Palace, and thencommenceoperationss by a sweeping renunciation of all former professions o f political faith, and the adoption of those o f its adversaries. For some reason or other Marshal O ’Donnell has been suddenly transformed politically speaking, into a Duke o f Victory, and, ceasing to be himself, has come forward in the character of Espartero, with the Constitution o f 1837 for his baton instead o f that of 1845. But there is such a complete want even o f respectability, not to say dignity, in these coups de theatre, that no one expects they can be played o f f long with success even upon Spaniards. Above all, it is remarked as something almost ominous, that while dispensing liberties and political privileges with so lavish a hand, the programme o f a new Cabine says not one word upon the all-important ° i^ ance. This fatal omission has produced the worst effect in France, whose capital has flowed ol late very freely across the P y ren e e s ; and a very nalural observation is made to the effect that if the Spanish Government would set setriously to work to redeem the credit and even common honesty of the nation with respect to the public creditor, and in spire confidence in; the private Capitalist, it wonld be doing far more for the country than by lavishing upon it elective Senates and an extended franchise. A ll financial men engaged in Spanish affairs look very blank, and have no confidence in the stability o f the existing state o f things.
