These evere ineMurea against dead Dissenters are relics of tIle old pc Laities imposed on liv- ing Dissenters long aS°- Time was when the parson of tlie parish could worry schismatics wlula alive bv ecclesiastical persecutions. He lias lost these antique privileges, but he can still place a stigma on the recusant when dead if lie cannot make him, he can make his widow and children feel, that a Nonconformist is a kind of parochial pai iali. not entitled to honour at the grave. Thus, at a time when people are most sensitive, after they have just lost one of their home circle, perhaps the dearest of all, the local representative of the Church is enabled to inflict on them a stinging insult-a sharp cut of be parson's riding whip on an ,open wound. Are such tactics likely to benefit the national Establishment, to increase its adheients, to draw to it the renewed affec- tions of persons partially estranged The result of the iivision was, iu truth, a great Liberal victory. The Con- jervative Ministry in a full Conservative House could only iiiinmand a preponderant fourteen The bill was re- ected by that narrow majority, so that eloquence, good 'eeling, and common sense can it appears,materially affect ind reduce the Tory nia^' THE GOVERNMENT AM) THE BILL. Mr. Cross the Daily Neios considers, missed an oppor- ;unitv. Had he eTeu liromue<l a measure next year the iivisron would probably have told a different story. As it yas/the non-acceptance of Mr. Bright's offey, and the per- istence of the Government in the illogical and untenable ourse of refusing the redress of an admitted grievance, is ne more sign of that legislative incapacity which is dis- eartening its friends and encouraging its opponents, lie willingness shewn by all the speakers on the iberal side to, mae all possible concessions to Conservative feeing wlncJI were consistent with the objects f the bill, removed all plea for regarding it as a mere browing down of the barrier? which prevented churoh- ard desecratioB- Even as it stands, we believe that the forking of the bill might be left to the good sense and re- erent feeling of the people. As Mr. Roebuck said, it is ot when men ate standing round the grave that they are isputatious and controversial. The object of ie bill, indeed, is to allow them at such mes the religious consolation which they need, lie division will, we hope, convince the Government that ie present system of exclusion cannot be retained. The me of religious intolerance has gone by and these relics ancient narrowness are incapable of prolonged defence. he Liberal party was, of course, unanimous in the sup- Irt of the measure and whether the present Government ke the question up or let it alone its settlement on a libe- 1 basis is among the certainties of the not distant future. THK "NATIONAL PROPERTY ARGUMENT. The friends of the bill can certainly claim, the Hour marks, to have come very near in sight of victory. The ie adopted by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright must be re- rdtti as a Parliamentary concession to the Diseatablish- 3nt party. We may safely assert that there was no Sison of any iniporUr.ce whiVh either of these gentlemen which Mr. Foi ster adduced in favour of the Burials 11 which would not tell equally in favour of a bill r severing the Stute from, and con- sating the revenues of, the Church. After all, the lin ground on which they and others based eir claim was that of the national property" argu- mt. If the churchyards are national property, can the )ries of the Church, or its revenues, be held to be tional property in any less degree ? The assurance on part of Mr. Richard, as of Mr. 0,boriie Morgan, Mr. fevre and the rest, that the bill is designed for the U-bei'n"of the Church, and has nothing akin to Dis- ablisliment HIlts nature and tendencies, must be taken what it is worth. Only, when we find the avowed and Tessive foes of the Church essaying the pnssioiiate impionsliip of sucn a measure, the friends ot the ulch may be p«i'<loned if their suspicions are aroused. 1;LTl;Ion or THE MEASURE. !t was obvious t'ie, Standard siates, that there is a dis- ition on the front' Opposition bench to hold out the ie-branch to ti,e ^lll"di,iUated Nonconformists.

MR. SANKEY'S HISTORY.
MR. SANKEY'S HISTORY. During our first pastorale, at New Brighton, in 1862-3, « tine-looking young man from New Castle us^ to come 'Jown occasionally and sing yith our choir. y Drought sunshine in his face, and made mus of all with whom he mingled. He sang h» » and be seemed entirely free from the petty envie commonly crop out in choirs, and thrust discord over into the oommunion of the Church. There was a frank- ness in this young man's countenance, and a zeal m nis tones and manner, which enlisted the conn deuce of all with whom he associated. Our choir was always glad when he dropped in among them. that was the beginning of an acquaintance which we have cherished ever since. Afterwards we met our friend in New Castle and elsewhere; and always found him the same warmed-souled and radiant Christian man. He was not a professional singer. He loved music for its own sweet sake, and used it as lie moved among the people, simply, religiously, and as a Gospel gift. His power in the church to which lie belonged was equal to that of the pastor, and his life was one of harmony and peace. He bore about with him an unconscious influence which was positive, practical, and irresistible. The children clustered around him when he sang, and tears of joy attested the spirit which apcompanied the°service. We have tho picture of that face photographed upon our memory; and the echoes of those simple melodies come into our dreams to this hour, as whispers from some fairer world. And so we dd not wonder at all that this same young ml1" now in the maturity of middle life, a developed Christian, endowed with a special gift from Heaven, i* s0. », .,s. in singing salvation to the masses in Great Britain.

LOANS TO FOREIGN STATES.
LOANS TO FOREIGN STATES. The Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the circumstances under which certain foreign loans have besn negotiated resumed its sitting* yesterday. Mr. Lowe presided, and among those present were Mr. Watkin Williams, Mr. E. Stanhope Sir H. James, Mr. Shaw, Sir H. Holland, Mr. Walter, Mr. ELice, Mr. Puleston, Sir C. Russell, Sir. Kirkman Hodgson, and Mr. Russell Gurney.—Mr. Foster, of the firm of Knowles and Foster, re-called, put in a statement shewing that of the Costa Rioa Loan issued by them in 1872 £ 2,071,500 was allotted to the public. Their firm received, as part of commission for if suing the loan, R17,000, while the amount taken by the syndicate to which he referred was £ 137,500. The gross proceeds of the loan were A:1,822,(15V. -Astothedispofulofthe loan IBlessrs. Eriangerteeeived 1,576,240, the commission paid to the syndicate Was £ 40,000, and the commission received by the firm was £ 24,000, which included the amount they took in bonda before referred to.. D^.dver, 8ulna were paid *>7 the firm as interest on the 1871 and 1872 loans. Wit- ness then read a statement which he had prepared shew- ing the circumstances under which they were Requested to issue the loan. They declined to act as sub. agents to Messrs, Erlanger, bankers, and insisted upon having a contract direct with the Costa Rica Government, and a contract for the issue the loan by witness s firin was prepared by Sir William Drake, a solicitor. Witness subsequently discovered that there was a secret agree- was a secret agree. ment between Messrs. Erlanger and Don Alvarado that the former should receive 4 per cent, commission on the loan. The firm never leceived any complaint from ai »C°sta Rica Government as to the action of the former until the bill m Chancery was filed. They had nothing to do with the repurchases of stock by the Government, and the stock they themselves purohased they had been losers by to the extent of £ 20,000, after allowing for all the commission they had received. The firm received. The firm sent a c!«ek to Costa Rica after the issue of the loan, and hefojind that the resources of thecountry were good,butthat they had been misapplied. A new contract had been prepared for finishing-the railway, but its terms were disastrous, and it was ultimately withdrawn, Tlli, clerk was, however un- e able to make any arrangement for the payment of interest on remittances. The Government had never remitted a sixpence out of all i^ resources in payment of the interest and sinking fund ot tne 1871 and 1872 loans, not- Withstanding that they had themselves admitted that they possessed considerable surplus, revenues. It was further ascertained that the president had received a sum of 160,000 out of the proceeds of the loau from Messrs, Erlanger.

THE RAILWAY COMMISSION.
THE RAILWAY COMMISSION. Yesterday, before Sir F. Peel, Mr. H. Macnamara Jinu Mr. W. P. Price, the case of Innes and Others v, the Lon- don, Brighton, and South Coast aud the London and South Western Railway Companies was continued, Mr. Mansel Jones and Mr. D. Freslifield appeared for the applicants; the Hon. A. H. Thesiger, Q. C., for the South- western Railway; and Mr. Jeuue for the Brighton and South Coast Railway.—Mr. Jacomb, chief engineer of the South-Western, said that the accommodation supplied by the railway in the Wimbledon distiict was sufficient, in his opinion, for the traffic.-Cross-examined by Mr. Mansel Jones It was not thought advisable by the company to acquire the land which was necessary to make a road to the Lower Merton station. In 1866 a proposal was made by Mr. Innes to supply land for the roads, and the company took powers to improve the access to the station, but he did not know that Mr. Innes offered to pay for the land and all the expenses. He considered that the footpath at Lower Merton was amply sufficient for the accommodation of the traihe. As to goods, Air. Innes could go to Wimble- don, where the facilities were very good. The gradient of the hill at Wimbledon station was very easy, and the access to the station very easy. A great quantity of goods went1 to that station. The station was a large one, and bad every convenience. The Wimbledon, Lower Merton, and Tooting lines were ma.detogive direct communication with London Bridge. Both the Brighton and the South- western Companies opposed the making of that line, but afterwards took it up, and were now working it as joint i_ J TITOQ loo-I U-i. 1\L- owners. An agreement, uhicu j.ow, uunveeu iur. Innes and the railway companies wa3 read, relating to a variety of ioads.-Wituesslexan)inetl by Mr. Jeune: It was afterwards decided by one of the judges that that agreement could not be. carried out, because the roads therein proposed were simply for the improvement of a landowner's property, and were of little or no advantage to the r-,iilwayr,Ill reply to the Commissioners, the line was to give the district a City teiminus. Mr. Scott, general manager of the south estern Rail- way, examined by Mr. Jeune, said The Tooting and Lower Merton liue was constructed practically by the two com- panies, the South-Western paying halt of tl i e cos t, and the Brighton Company the other halt, fenice 1803 a number of trains were run from the Tooting line to Ludgate-hill. The service consisted of ten trains each way per day, and that was more than sufficient for the traffic, The Tootiug line had been extended to Kingston, and but for that ex- tension the companies could not anoia to run so c service. The length of the Tooting line was 6 mil* s o chains. There we»e 32 ti&*ns daily eacl). v/uy bctwoeu Loudon and Lower Merto.t.
