IN all probability the end of the present month will see the end of the present session of Parlia-I ment . The sighs of approaching- ¦ Holidays are sufficiently plain without reference to the state of the Thames , or even to the explanations of the Ciian-CELLOK OF THE EXCHEQUER as to the " COUfluct of the public business . " Country papers tell us the prospects of the coming harvest arc highly satisfactory 3 particularly as Tcgards the partridg-es , which are ascertained to he plentiful and strong . The news from the moors is such as to make the hearts of the landlords flutter with thoughts of improved rentals for their " shootings "— -with expectations I that will mount prodigiously with the announcement 1 that the Prikce Consout has taken the shootings of Girnshiel , the property of Mr . Fabquiiahson , of I . Invercauld . We . have , however , the direct testi-I niony of Mr . Disraeli that the session is nearly I over , and that Government arc desirous of doing I everything to facilitate the work of Parliament , and I to bring its labours to a " satisfactory" conclusion . I With this intent , India Bill No . 3 ( modified , or I to be modified ; , by the introduction of amendments I equal in bulk to its original self ) has been pushed I vigorously forward in committee . One thing has I been very remarkable during the late debates—it is I that Lord Palmers-ton has lost ground at every B step , some of the majorities against him "bcin > B strikingly large . Ministers have , in fact , so trimmed K their course as to render serious opposition to their K Indian Bill out of the question , and the chances I appear to be in favour of their carrying it pretty nearly in their own form , whatever that may finally I be . On the whole of the details of the Council Lord I Stanley has been successful with the House , to I the manifest disadvantage of tlic Opposition , if I there can bo said to be any Opposition at the prc-I sent moment . I Lord Derby has returned to business in time to I have one more last word on the subject of admitting Jews into Parliament . He accepts Lord Ltjcan ' s mode of settlement in preference to that of Lord Lynduukst , Lord Lucan proposing that each House shall have tholiberty of admitting by resolution those whose conscientious scruples forbid I thorn to use tho words " on the true faith of a Chris-1 tian , " Lord Lyndhurst proposing that a member I of the Jewish persuasion should take his scat in the \\ regular way . A majority of 143 against 97 was in I favour of the bill being read a second time ; tlio [
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 cither to the religion or to the constitution of England . Another triumph , ' : 1 he reward of temperate persis tance , ; , 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 hold the LeviticaL 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 " ninetynine persons out of a liundred objected 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 asswancc of the rehabilitation of thousands of guiltless women and children under the ban of the present barbarous law . But the Church has liceu active upon another question , namely , Lord Stanhope ' s motion for an address to Hint Majesty , with the view of disencumbering the Book of Common Prayer of certain services , referring to events which have ceased to have any significance , and to persons 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 admitting the point of the reformatory wedge . The motion , however , with a slight . alteration , was agreed to . The representatives of tlic Church have been in a better state of mind with reference to the subject of the Sequestration of Livings . Recent scandals have brought tlic evils of the present condition of the law into painful prominence , and Lord St . Leonards inquired of tlic Archbishop of Canterbury , on Tuesday evening , whether he intended to introduce a bill having in view the determent of incumbents from getting into cleb ' l ; on the security of their livings , and to compel them lo reside and perform tlieir duties although their livings were under sequestration . Lord Kicdksdam : made a remark that went to the heart of i . hc : question : ho said that , " when the difficulties were of such a character that they could not be incL by any reasonable arrangement , he thought tho living ought to be declared vacant , and some other person instituted who could command tlio respect of the parishioners . " At prcsont a sequestrated living leaves tho 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 n \ eet 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 thesecond reading with the handsome maj ority of 129 to 75 . The strongest objection that was urged to the measure was , that . at limes of political crises gentlemen who 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 . Hunt , the mover of the second reading of the bill , that no such honourable members should act as the chairmen of railway committees , or of any other committees Avhich dealt with important interests . Still the talk is of committees and of commissions ,., and of inquiries into the state of the Thames . If it were 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 five thousand pounds in disinfecting the sewage before easting it into tbc fermenting Thames . [ Fortunately , whjjc these points arc being discussed and rediscussed , the heat of the weather lias been greatly reduced ; tho dangers that were ir . miincnt last week being , therefore , for the moment averted . Bul the question of a proper drainage of -vast London must be settled , and the sum , whether it be five , ten , or fifteen millions , nm&t l > c found to save London from being plague-stricken , if not this coming autumn , perhaps wilhin half a dozen summers . The prominent fact in the late news from India is , that the notorious Gwalior contingent has a I ; last been dealt , with , and sharply chastised . i ' or a long time pnst it had been concentrated at Calneey as if waiting nnd preparing to make some great movement against tlio . European forces . Whatever may liavo , been the intentions of the leaders of thin force , they have all been frustrated by the successful operations of Sir Hugh Hosk , who , after his way . steadily forward for weeks , drove of l . hcii stronghold panic-stricken , and with of an enormous quantity of stores and fifty guna , and twenty-four standards . A pursuit of tho enemy , who fled almost without a shot , resulted in the slaughter of five
