BEAUTIFUL MAY. Beautiful May! Beautiful May! Decked like a bride in thy flowing array Sending enchantment to valley and dale, Shedding sweet perfumes abroad on the gale. Who but doth welcome thy soft sylvan reign, Cheering with flowrets the loneliest plain ? Who but rejoices in nature's wild glee, As they crush the sweet daisies that dapple the lea. Beautiful May Beautiful May! Bride of the summer-time, blithesome and gay Myriads of songsters attune thee each morn- Myriads of flowrets thy waking adorn Bright spangling dew-drops thy soft robes begem, And glisten like pearls in the bright diadem. Ob, who but welcomes thee, nature's sweet bride, And crowns thee fair monarch all others beside Beautiful May! Beautiful May! Decking our hedges with smiling array Gladdening our orchards with blossoms so fair, Sprinkling our gardens with flowrets so rare Clothing the wild woods with spring's softest bloom, Cheering the depths of the forest's deep gloom; Gladdening all nature with verdure so gay, Who but doth welcome thee, beautiful May ?

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Another telegram has just reached the Foreign office from Alexandria, in which the message from Captain Speke to myself is that "on the 27th of March he was in north latitude 14 deg. 30 min., on the Nile; that all was well, and the Nile" (I presume its source) "settled." This is glorious news for all geographers, and I heartily thank Mr. Layard for so promptly communicating it to Your obedient servant, RODERICK I. MURCHISON. 16, Belgrave-square, May 6, 8 p.m.

HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY. The Earl of Derby presented a petition from a public meet- ing at Glasgow, complaining of the distress suffered by un- employed operatives, and praying for measures of relief. The Marquis of Normanby said in consequence of the ill. health of his noble friend, Earl Russell, he was compelled to postpone presenting a petition from the Rev. Alfred Bishop rector of Martyr Worthy, in the Diocese of Winchester. Lord Chelmsford called attention to a petition for the re- committal of the Albert Bridge Bill, and moved that the bill be referred back to the same committee. The Albert Bridge is intended to be placed between Chelsea Suspension Bridge and Old Batersea Bridge, London. Lord Saunton, as chairman of the committee, supported the Bill. Lord De Roos, Earl of Camperdown, Lord Cranworth, and others spoke in favour of the Bill. After a few words from Lord Chelmsford, Their lordships divided on the question that the Bill be recommitted, with the following result. Contents 29 Non-Contents 40 Majority against recommittal —n The Hares (Ireland) Bill and the Vice-Admiralty Courts Bill passed through committee. The Enclosure Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned about 10 minutes before 7 o'clock. TUESDAY. Lord Chelmsford asked whether Her Najesty's government had accepted a tender from the Belgian government for the conveyance of English mails between Dover and Ostend what was the amount of that tender, and had it received the ratification of the Belgian Chambers. He also asked whether there was any intention to interfere with the service between Dover and Calais, and whether Mr. Churchward had failed performing any part of his contract. ln Lord Stanley of Alderley said the Belgian government had undertaken to carry the mails between Dover and Ostend at considerably reduced rates; but on our side the bargain was conditional on the refusal of Parliament to grant the money for continuance of the service by Mr. Churchward. An offer had also been made to carry the mails between Dover and Calais much cheaper thah at present, but the negotiations were not yet concluded. Mr. Churchward had performed the service efficiently, and it was only in consequence of a decision of the House of Commons not to supply the money for Mr. Churchward's contract that the alterations had been made. After a few remarks from Lord Derby the subject dropped Their lordships adjourned at 6 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. In reply to Mr. Maguire, Mr. Layard explained the circumstances connected with the lowering of the American flag on the Island of Sombrero, by Captain Tatham, of Her Majesty's ship Phsston. Lord R. Montagu complained of the adjournment of the House on Friday, owing to a paucity of members present, as caused by a neglect on the part of the Ministers, upon whom, he said, it had been understood, lay the burden of making a House on Friday. Lord Palmerston admitted that there had been an under- standing to that effect, observing that it was purely accidental that a House had not been made on Friday. He suggested, at the same time, that private members should co-operate with the Government in making and keeping a House. Some further discussion took place before the subject dropped. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the Customs' and Inland Revenue Bill, On the 2nd clause, re-enacting the provisions of former Acts as regards the Income-tax, with certain exceptions, Sir J. Fergusson proposed an amendment to include in the exceptions a section of the Act, 25th and 26th Victoria, cap. 22, directing that no assessors shall be appointed for duties under schedules A and B. The Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the amendment which was negatived. On the 3rd clause, discontinuing certain exemptions from the Income-tax, except in certain enumerated cases. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in redemption of the pledge he had given to explain the proposition of the Government in regard to the exemption of charities from the Income-tax began by observing that he declined to embarrass the committee by entering into peculiar cases that might be argued on peculiar grounds. The question on the:part of the Government was whether the law should be modified which extended to bequests to charitable uses and immunity from all direct taxation. He was not ignorant, he said, that considerable opposition to the proposal of the Government existed, in the country. ithat proposal they considered a wise one and, as regarded the great mass of charitable property, an equitable compromise. On the other band, he admittfd that it was a proposal which could not be carried without the free and deliberate sanction of that House. After a review of the aspect in which charitable foundations have been regarded by past Financial Ministers, and an examin- atK)n°t the nature and character of many ot the bequests which were included in the category of charities, but which did not deserve the name, he considered the policy of offering a premium upon deathbed bequests, and viewed the encourage- rneut of so-called acts of charity by what was in effect a gift of public money at the expense of the commnnityaswiong in policy and unjust in practice. He calculated that the exemption of charities from the Income-tax was a loss to the revenue of fully £ 250,000 a year. This allowance to charities was virtually an expenditure which was kept out or view, and was not under the control of Parliament, which was left as to this great expenditure entirely in the dark, and he asked why this promiscuous gift of a quarter of a million should be continued. The charities, he observed, migut be divided into three classes -small, middle, and great charities. As to the small chari- ties, he asserted that hardly one of them, if they had asked the House for a grant of 6s., would have received it. He described some of these charities, which he considered had no claim to any indulgence. The utmost they deserved was toleration, but not a penny from the public purse. Yet they formed not far short of one-half of the charities of the country, receiving, therefore, a gift at the expense ot the taxpayer of .E125.0UO a year. Mr. Gladstone then discussed the cases of the middle and the great charities, which included the large educational foundations and the hospitals properly so called. He entered into details regarding Christ's Hospital, the Char- terhouse, and King's College, belonging to the former class. He would, be said, prefer that the benefit conferred upon these hospitals should be given in the form of a public grant rather than as an exemption. But there were unendowed hospitals, and he put this question to the Committee :-Let it be ad- mitted, for the sake of argument, that Parliament ought to make a grant to hospitals for the relief of the sick poor, was it just that the grant should be confined to institutions with revenues of £25,000, £80,000, or £35,000 a year, instead of giving it to young and struggling institutions ? In conclusion, the Government, he said, had not made this proposal lightly, but as one which they believed to be founded in justice and policy. At the same time, they desired to defer to the opinion of the House, and not to press the proposal with any undue obstinacy. Sir S. Northcote regarded the argument of the Chancellor of the Exchequer as founded mainly upon a fallacy that every man left untaxed received a gift. He accused him of depart- ing from his own principle, that in the imposition of the income-tax equality ought to be considered, showing that the measure would in some instances operate unequally and op- pressively. It was a scheme, he said, for confiscating, tor the use of the State, a portion of the property of hospitals, and it would be severely felt in some parts of the country. He en- treated the Government not to press forward a measure in which a step must be made in the dark, but to withdraw it. Mr. Maguire opposed the measure as most unwise, the effect of it being to tax the poor. Lord H. Vane likewise opposed the proposal of the Govern- ment, which was, he said, contrary to precedent and to authority, as well as to the practice of other countries. Mr. W. Martin thought it inexpedient to remove the ex- emption of the poorer hospitals. Lord M. Cecil observed that the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a long indictment against charity, bene. Thence, and the poor. He complained of the attacks made by him upon the dead, who had in their bequests followed the dictates of the religion they believed. The House had, how- ever, nothing to do with the motives of the dead; the question was how to protect the interests of the living poor and dis- eased. He disputed the principles applied by Mr. Gladstone to the incomes of charities, and espcially to those of the larger hospitals. It was impossible, he said, to have selected a more unhappy time for introducing this measure, the immediate effect of which would be to aggravate misery, and tax those who did not know where to look for their daily bread. The Chairman having put the question, The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose and said it was not his intention to take the sense of the Committee upon the clause. Mr. Disraeli observed that, in his opinion, this was a very rational determination, though he had never heard an an- nouncement which he bad less expected. After remarking that some answer should have been made to the speech of Sir S. Northcote, be denied the principle laid down by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that exemption from taxation was to be looked upon as a contribution from the State, which be denounced as fallacious and false. If the Government were of opinion that the statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer respecting charitable endowments—which would almost afford a plea for confiscation,-were justified by facts, they should not have been content with merely applying the Income-tax to those institutions. Lord Palmerston observed that Mr. Disraeli had reduced his objections to one fundamental point,—namely, that it was a fallacy to say that an exemption from a tax was equivalent to a grant from the State. He (Lord Palmerston) contended that it was a fallacy to maintain a different opinion. The proposed measure, in the opinion of the Government, was founded in justice and good sense. As, however, it was opposed to local association," not only in that House, but over the country, the Chaticellor of the Exchequer had exer- cised a wise discretion in not pressing upon the House a measure adverse to the general opinion. After some remarks by Mr. Henley and Mr. Locke, clauses three and four were negatived. The other clauses and the schedules were agreed to, with a few amendments. The House, then, in committee, passed the clauses of the Savings' Banks Bill, after discussion, with amendments. The Consolidated Fund Bill and the Exchequer Bonds Bill were read a third time and passed. The Naval Medical Supplemental Fund Society Winding-up Act Amendment Bill was read a second time, after a short debate. Other Bills were forwarded, and the House adjourned at 20 minutes' past 1 o'clock. TUESDAY. Mr. Whalley postponed his motion for withdrawing the grant to Maynooth, from the 16th of May until the 2nd of June, BRITISH SUBJECTS IN PERU. In reply to Colonel Dunne, My Layard stated that Captain Nutville White, a British subject, had been arrested by the Peruvian Government on a frivolous and unfounded charge. He was thrown into prison, and was subjected to a course of treatment that was a disgrace to any civilized country, He was released on the urgent re- monstrances of the British Consul, but although he had been released, no reason had yet been given for his imprisonment. Her Majesty's Government had referred to the law officers of the Crowu the statements which had been made by Captain Wbite of the circumstances under which he had been mal- treated, They recommended that the sum of jM.500 should be demanded of the Peruvian Government as reparation for Captain White. It appeared that Captain White was not satisfied with that sum, :they were willing, as also were the Peruvian Government, to refer the question to arbitration. ADMIRAL WILKES. Lord R. Cecil wished to ask her Majesty's Government if the information contained in the newspapers that day, that Admiral Wilkes, the captor of the Peterhoff, had declined to allow the mail bags seized in that vessel to be forwarded to their destination, was true if any communication had been received from Lord Lyons on the subject; and, if the inform- ation was correct, what course her Majesty's Government in- tended to pursue ? Mr. Layard said there appeared to have been some difficulty in determining in the Prize Court what should be done with the mail bags. The matter was referred to Mr. Seward, who informed Lord Lyons that he had sent orders to New York that the mail bags should beforwa) dcd to their destination without being opened. At the same time Mr. Seward in- formed Lord Lyons that a gentleman was coming to this country to sttle with her Majesty's Government the priuciple upon which mail bags, in the event of a similar case accuring in future, should be)reated. No information on the subject had since been received by her Majesty's Government. EDUCATION. Mr. Walter moved the following resolution :—"First that it is the opinion of this House that the sums, annually voted by Parliament for educational purposes ought to be made applicable to all the poorer schools thoughout the country (not being private schools or carried on for profit), in which the attendance and examination of the children exhibit the results required under the Revised Code by her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, second, that to require the employment of certi- ilcated teachers, or of pupil teachers by school managers, as an indispensable condition of their participation in the capitation grant, is inexpedient and unjust to the managers of such schools." The hon. gentleman, proposed to extend the grant of 8s. to all children in the schools referred to in his motion, who passed an examination to the satisfaction of the inspectors. Mr. Buxton seconded the motion. Mr. Lowe said that it was not the intention of Government to resist the resolutions of the of the hon. member of Berks on the ground of the vested rights of the certificated masters, but because they felt that if they did accept them the whole sys- tem of national education would degenerate into a mere scram- ble for the public money. He maintained that; the State ought not to make a grant to any school in which the capacity and qualifications of the person who was to teach the children had not been fully tested, and he besought the House to giv the Revised Code a fair trial, and not impair the most importan principle on which they had to reply for providing an efficient system of national education at a reasonable rate of ex- penditure. Mr. Dutton supported the resolutions, which were opposed by Mi. F. Powell and Mr. F. Salt. Mr. Adderley also apposed the motion. He moved :as an amendment that the grants ought to be made to schools of the working classes only but to all of them alike, in the way of proportionate aid to voluntary support subject to the favour- able report of the inspector, and to tests of at least elemen- tary instruction being given in them by teachers in all respects qualified. After some discussion the amendment and the first resolu- tion were withdrawn, On the second resolution the Houae divided when there were 117 noes; 152 ayes; majority against, 35, The reso- lution was therefore negatived. THE ACT OF UNIFORMITY. Mr. Bouverie moved for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal certain clauses of the Act of Uniformity to the Church of England before taking a fellowship or any college preferment, which, he contended, was the neeessary complement of the principles of religious liberty that had characterised recent legislation with respect to the Universities. All be asked was that Colleges should be left at liberty to remove this disability if they saw fit. Mr. Walpole said that the real object of the right hon. gentleman was to admit persons not members of the Church of England to the endowments and management of the universities, a principle which the House bad always rejected. Lord Stanley said this proposal was different to previous ones. It did not compel the colleges to admit Nonconformists, but recognised their right of self-government, and left them at liberty to take their own course. Sir W. Heathcote hoped that the House would see that the step to which it was invited was a serious one, with a very definitive object. After a few words from Mr. P. Urquhart and Mr. Grant Duff in support of the motion, and Lord R. Cecil against it, Lord Palmerston said that the notice was so vauge that it was hardly fair not to have given the House a fuller idea of the object of the Bill. It was desirable to have a full dis- cussion of thejneasure, but it must be adopted after great con- sideration. He would, as usual, assent to the introduction of the Bill. The House divided, when there appeared- For going into committee. 157 Against 135 Majority 22 The House then went into committee, when leave was given to bring in the bill, and the House resumed. Leave having been given to bring in several bills, The House adjourned at two o'clock.

COURT AND FASHION. The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the House of Commons on Monday evening. The Princess and suite were in the ladies' gallery. Their Grand Ducal Highnesses Prince Alexander and Prince Henry of Hesse left London on Saturday evening on their return to the continent. Some weeks ago an invitation was given to the Prince and Princess ot Wales by the Corporation of the cit) of London to partake of the hospitalities of the city on the occasion of their marriage, leaving it to their Royal High- ness to choose the fete that would be most agreeable to them. On Monday the Lord Mayor received a communi- cation to the effect that the Prince and Princess will honour with their presence a ball at Guildhall on the evening of the 1st of June. This gracious intimation has afforded the civic authorities the gieatest joy, and they will proceed to make the requisite preparations forthwith With that view a special meeting of the entertainment Committee has been summoned and it will readily be imagined that the reception of their Royal Highnesses will be alU e worthy of these august personages and of the Corpora, ion. It so happens that at present the whole area of Guildhall is occupied by a mass of scaffolding erected preparatery to the removal of the roof and the substitution of an open one in oak, more in harmony with the edifice It is matter for regret that the work could not be executed in time for the auspicious occasion of the Royal visit It has scarcely, indeed, been begun, and the scaffolding will be removed without delay to allow arrangements being made for the approachingfete.

LECTURE ON QUEENSLAND. On Friday evening Mr. Jordan delivered his second lecture on the above subject at the Town-hall. Like the previous evening, the hall was well filled with a highly respectable audience. To the right of the lecturer was a large map of the eastern part of Australia. The chair was taken by the worshipful the Mayor, who briefly in- troduced the lecturer, observing that it would be out of place for him on that occasion to detain them with any remarks of his own. Mr. Jordan, in commencing, glanced rapidly at the princi- pal points of the last Lecture on Queensland, in which he had described its extent, geography, climate, and agricultural capabilities. He thought he had succeeded in establishing the conviction, that Queensland was destined to become, at no distant period, the great cotton field of England. He had also directed their attention to the very liberal free-land grant emigration scheme, now already in successful operation, by which the hundreds of thousands who had annually been driven away from the shores of Britain, and had hitherto gone chiefly to America, would speedily be attracted in very great numbers to this beautiful and prosperous colony of the great southern world (applause). The Lecturer dwelt at some length upon the great capabilities of Queensland as a wool producing country. "Uush lite" in its various grades and employments was described, from the wealthy squatter, in his commodious, roomy house, overlooking an immense extent of splendid country occupied by his own flocks and herds, to the humble shepherd, who at the out-station led forth his flock from the fold by his lonely hut through the open forest or extensive plains to pasture. This portion of the lecture consisted of a series of pictures naturally and vividly sketched, full of interest, and abounding with pleasant humour, which enlisted the sympathies of his audience, and elicited their frequent and hearty applause. The shepherd, the stockman, the farmer, the genteel idler, the "loafer," were all artistically sketched. Mr. Jordan was equally successful in his descriptions of the pioneer farmer in his attacks upon the Australian wilderness. The system adopted in the new Australian colony for en- couraging the settlement in the country of a large number of this ciass of British yeomen, was contrasted with the opposite policy, which had so long prevented the extensive colonization of British possessions, selling land in limited quantities by auction. 'The agricultural Reserves" were the best lands in the best localities, set aside for the farmer. Here the real farmer could buy 40acres of fine land near the largest town- ships, and on the navigable rivers, for 940 (and for this his land orders given him by the Government were available to their full nominal value) and then the Government would give him 120 acres beside, at a nominal rent of 6cl an acre for five years, with the exclushe right of purchasing it at the end of five years in other words he could thus secure a farm of 160 acres by paying a fourth of the money down, with credit for the remainder fur five years. The only conditions were residence, and that the leased portion was fenced in eighteen months (ttpplause). Mr. Jordan gave mnch valuable advice fur persons on lauding, especially cautioning them against the demoralising advice of croakers and idlers." Go at once (he said) on to your farm with your family and a tent in a cart, or a bullock dray, aud iet the forest soon ring with the blows of your axe, and then go on—and you will sncceed. The advantages of Emigration to Queensland it appears, may be put in a few brief sentences :—Ttie free passage, or its equivalent in tand orders, and for iutevmediata and cabin pas- sengers, the further gift.of a #l>2;li«r>d order in two years. The low-price of latidin the agricultural reserves, with the system of deferre I payments. The great productiveness of the soil with the high price to be obtained for farm produce. The profitableness of growing cotton, with a certainty of a market and libernl Government bonus—the liberal form of Govern- ment, with an almost entire absence of taxation—the general safety of the voyage—the heahhfulness and beauty of the climate, and its suitability to the European constitution. We have only given very briefly a few of the leading points of the lecture, which was listened to for nearly two hours with the deepest attention, and frequently warmly ap. plauded. At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Jordan, for his very interesting lecture and to the Mayor for his kindness in presiding. The subject has excited considerable interest, as the hall was densely crowded during a great part of the evening. [In our report in last week's paper of Mr. Jordan's lecture on Thursday, we stated that be was agent of the Queensland Co'mmissioners; it should have been that he was the Com- 4m s-ioner appointed by the Colonial Government of Queens- and.]

The Duke of Beatiford and the Marquis of Worcester arrived at the Hutel de Bristol, Paris, frorn Poictrees, wether they will return in a a few days. His grace was present at a ball at the tuileriea "?-

THE POWER or PENCE.—The Rev. D. A. Doudney, of Str Luke's, Bedminster, has received from boxes at two doors, fo twelve Sundays, £15 14s. 4d., or at the rate of £200 a-year The above sum consisted of nearly 6,000 pieces of money. The Clifton Board of Guardians have unanimously agreed to petition against the Prison Ministers Bill. Is is intended to try the experiment of Penny Dining Rooms in Bristol. We understand that at the request of the Prince of Wales an extra week's holiday will be granted at Midsummer to the boys at Clifton ('ollege. HUMOURED PIER FOR CLEVEDON.-For some time past there has been a rumour current to the effect that a private company in London purposed constructing a pier at this place, near to the Rock House, and for which purpose some gentle- men had been making surveys, and ascertaining the probable quantity of stone, at present lying on the rock, that could be used for carrying out the scheme.

CARDIFF SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. The trade during the past week has been what the shippers term dull. The arrival of vessels for the last few days has been very limited, especially vessels of any considerable tonage. Freights for the Mediterranean and foreign ports have an upward tendency, while coasting freights are decidedly lower. The docks to a certain extent look thin, and the usual signs of bustle and activity are visible in a few places only. SHIP HOBBERY.-On Tuesday last, about 10 o'clock in the morning, a blue cloth coat and a Guernsey was stolen from the ship Rosa Lee, lying in the West Bute Dock. THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN THE DOCK. On Monday morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, as Capt. George Waggons, of the ship Pomona," now lying in the East Dock, was looking over the side of his vessel, he saw floating at a short distance what appeared to be the body of a man. The object was brought on deck, and found to be the body of a man evidently that of a sailor; it was dressed in a dark monkey jacket, dark trousers and Guernsey and a pair of boots. The body had been in the water for some time. The features were too much swollen from decomposition, and also from being saturated with the water to allow of the body being identified. Information was given to the police, and an in- quest was held 011 the body on Monday afternoon before R. L. Reece, Esq., coroner, but no evidence beyond the finding of body could be adduced. No doubt it had been brought into the dock by the current through the Channel, and from the length of time it had been in the water it might have been brought by the tide a long way. A verdict of Found Dround" was returned. Nothing was found ou the body which could lead to its identity. In the trousers pocket was found a purse containing 3s. 3d., two whistles, a book, and a letter without a direction. ARRIVALS. MAY 1. Ship, Master. Reg. Ton. Cargo, Consignee.
