Tbointly dif ference between the eases a Gambia and Sierra Leone WAS that the former colony, being small, looked to that house for the support of its chaplain, while Sierra Leone supported a chaplsin itself.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the chairman report proses ss. After • few words from Mr. L. Ilaewoutu, The motion was agreed to. On the question that the chairman ask leave to sit again, Mr. ANSTEY complained that certain allowances were nude out ot public funds on their passage from the Trea sury without the authority ur s inction of parliament, and were sot mentioned in the i glares. The hon. member nonmersteft a list of such allowance, 'negating to more than 3,000/.

WEST INDIA SUGAR. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY said he had given no tice of a question he wu about to put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but as he was not in his place, perhaps the right hon. gentleman the Colonial Secretary would answer it. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the government to put British West India sugar on the same footing as foreign sugar, with regard to refinement in heed. Sir J. PAKINOTON said he knew his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had received a deputation on the subject, but he was not able to give the hon. mem ber any answer to his question. NEW ZEALAND BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON said that before moving that the Speaker do leave the chair, he wished to prevent several peti tions. One from Mr. William Con who had been 9 yeses at Wellington as an sent of the New Zealand Coly=, and a magistrate; one from Mr.Wsld, of Skireste 1 Wellington ; one from Ciai 40mgaittee Oi llislogOalalt 0 , W. Cauterbury Association; one from Mr. Nolan, who had resided 4 years at Wellington; one from Mr. Wingfield ; one from Mr. Cook, who had resided 9 years at New Ply mouth ; one from Mr. Garrett, who was five years an inha bitant at Wellington ; one from a number of guanine who were going oat as colonists to Canterbury; and several from different colonials; all of which erne to the same effect, praying that the bill might pus, altdmmgh eons objected to one part of it and seen to other poet The last petition he bad to present was hem Mr. Gibbon Wake field, which was very lengthy, but which treated the • tion of the legislature foe the colony with his swot and which earnestly prayed that the bill as it steed t ; cii par into a law. The right hon. geallamen thin to say that before going into aseamittee wield explain the changes lo o epraead la make in the den& of the measure, the only of via* was to give the nista of New Zealand beat parible government, ass sistently with imperial candieradems, which it was hassea bent on the legislature to ebeerve. a• lad received several valuable suggestions from different KO qualms of the greatest weight in the haw Ac the impreesemegt of the . bill, of which the chief were, that he should Navy the peo eedent of the Australian Act of 1842, este district municipalities, with powers restricted to with municipal subjects only, and the other, that It should be left to the central legidatar v. whim homed, to provide for municipal pmeimmaat is the emirate districts in such manner as they ,held Wok beet.

The next paint related to the dare he had introdesel with respect to the rights of the New Zealand Cempany. He thought him self hand to use steered to the company their equitable defile saber the set of 1847, whatever these might be and to take care that the effect of the bill should not be to leave Sea in a worse condition than before. After full consideration he proposed to abandon the ori ginal clause,securlng to the New Zealand Company the sum =seas acre on land sales, and to adhere to the original t, by which the company was to receive one-fourth lithe price of the land sold. The last point he had to rig was that, in addition to placing the lands of New fetid at the disposal of the legislature, he should be =l4 in the event of any great mineral discoveries made in its territory, to advise the crown to plan the whole of the proceeds at the disposal of W local legislatures. By the mail which left this reentry yesterday, he bad announced to the Australian manna the intention of her Majesty's government to place the Australia mines unrestrictedly at the disposal of the Australian legislatures. Mr. AOLION BY gave credit to the colonial secretary y for the liberality of his views. On the part of the New Zealand Company, all he demanded was that they should he placid la the same position as they were is by the act of 1817, and suggested • reference to decide what that position was. After • low words hem Sir J Pacteolow, Sir W. MOLESWORTII charged the New Zealand Com pany with hula( obtained the set of 1847 by—if not lois represestation, et least by concealment of the troth. Mr. MANGLES could were the hon. bamnet that he (Mr. Mangles) and the other representatives of the coin. ply, would be equally prepared to rebut any each charge. The house then went intemrasnittes on the bill. fbe fret e'auu was agreed to. Oa the second Wane, Sir W. MOLES WORTH moved, pursuant to notice, the annum of the clause, and all the enbsequeet (games to the thirty-emend eleine, mil de their need to enbmilute the following: " It shell he borlti /girths General Agar bly, by act or acts, to imespesene the inhabitants of any 1 district within the said colony, sad Is establish in Rash trice • mina for the local gevenement Coen : asehromm nil shall hare power to make all. end hpe-lewo he par Tiding fur any matters which shell be egagally salgeoled to the &Teeth)* nod control of the said row it by any law of the said °coeval Assembly." He shagether objected to the scheme of the bill to divide New lealend into sir ants, each with a distinct provincial logiannre sod geverament. Mr. ADDERLEY thought that beds the km.

Hs did not wish to dispute the point as to whether the legis lative council should be appointed 'qty nomination or be elective. lie should certainly have preferred the elective principle which was intended by Lord Grey, but on that he should not give a vote if it was not in areinisitoe with the views of the government. There was a proposal In the bill that there should be • limitation in the number of the legislative iouncil, and that they should be appointed for life. Ile thought there would be considerable of this body thwarting the representative body. If had a body appointed for life, he thought it wa absolutely necessary that the crown, or the governor, as reperentative of the crown, should have the power of making that body from time to time act in accordance with the greed Mew entertained by the representative body and of the people the colonists at lasi„ i or ~sherwise they Wetild have the danger of a ;rarity setting up against the majority. This evil would be obviated by removing the restriction that the nffinber should not be more than fifteen, which seemed an unnecessary restriction to the power of the crown. If that contingency should arise, ho thought it desirable that the crown should have the power of augmenting the number. The noble lord concluded by expressing • hops that the bill would pass daring the preseut session. Mr. R. DENISON said the question was, whether they 111186 ii great etre .' on the central legislature, or they Ob la eli es great prominence to local legislatures. The et argument seemed to him to be in favour ef sorra rI teratbig it with everything that eleweld ens I sod humor. Mr. MOWA it would have been better to have had the sus dumber elective, requiring a higher qualification M MIIIMINI by the right hon. member for the ielversity of Oxford (Mr. Gladstone). After a law words from Sir J. PAIINOTON and Mr. MORATT, Si, W. MOLESWORTH withdrew his amendment, and the Manse was thee agreed to. amiss sls 17 were agreed to with some verbal =cad ger,. Oa dries IS, Sir W. MOLESWORTH (in a few remarks that were Unintelligible in tho gallery), moved an amendment to asetriet the powers of the provincial cowrie to the making of bys-laws. lir. GLADSTONE remarked that whoa Ohs hem baronet said the provision as it them semi gam alhat Is his (Mr. Gladstone's) views, and not to thole of the Seseetary of State. he did more than justice to him, and less than jostle. to the right hon. baronet. The ;crest meat of the measure was, that the intclF gent and deliberate will of the colonial community would find its way into the institutions of New Zealand, and would shortly fin and determine those institutions. If that will should be in favour of the local principle, that principle would gain more and more scope; but if, on the other band, public opinion should be in favour of the central legislature, that would prevail. (Rear, hear.) Sir J. PAEINOTON thought the observations of the right hon. gentleman were a complete answer to the pro posal of the hon. baronet, and he had nu hesitation in to jecting his suggestion. The clause was agreed to. On clause 19, Mr. F. PEEL proposed, in the 20th line, to emit the words " lands of the crown or," his object being to give the local councils the power to appropriate the proceeds arising from the sal* of the lands within their respective limits, and also to give them control over the sale of th• waste lands of the crown. Sir J. PAKINOTON said that the print proposal was a great boon, and had been accepted as by the colonists; and he the refore felt unwilling to run the risk of impairing that boon. After some conversation, Mr. SCOTT moved the omission of the words " Post office and." Sir J. PAILINGTON suggested that they . should go re- V e t iz a ar s et a k= a.

The provision might be untie- Weary were Instructions given to the governor, in certain ewes, to grant or withhold his assent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, In answer des lit. V.

Mr. V. SMITH must own that lie was astonished and disappointed at the alteration which had taken place in the tone of her Majesty's ministers on this subject. The right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies had himself laid down the doctrine that the wish of the colonists was the first thing to be considered, and he was sorry to find him departing from it. The right hon. gentleman must expect to be asked by the colonists generally why ho did not give thee!. the constitution of the Cape of Good Hoot. Notwithstanning what had fallen from the hon. meager for North Staffordshire as to endangering the fate of the bill, he considered it his duty to assist that principle to which the colonists most firmly adhered. Mr. MO WATT said the main argument of the right hon. gentleman ia favour of his own ' , renewal ern. that there was no precedent for a double elective chamber and that it was wholly at variance with our system of COlOniiii tion. jle admitted the fact, but what was the conse quence ? Why, that instead of our colonic' having been legitimate outlets for our eons and brothers, 99 out of every 100 emigrants bad gone to colonies belongiug to other countries. After a few words from Mr. ARDENT and Sir W. 240LV1. WORTN, Bir J. PAKINOTON declared that this claim involved a decided principle, which must be maintained. The right hon. baronet (Sir W. Molesworth) had taunted him with creating six petty republics by this bill. Ho had done no such thing. Ile merely offered the colony free institutions, and if the taunt were well founded, every city in the king dom would be a petty republic. (Hear, hear.) Before the committee divided, he would beg to remind them of the suggestion made by the noble lord the member for London, who had stated that, although be might be disposed to agree with Lord Grey in preferring an elective chamber—(heat, hear)he certainly should not be to endanger the bill on that point. (Hear, hear.) TV. MOLESWORTH thought the right hon. baronet was not proceeding in a fair m . He (Sir W. Motes worth) though objecting seriously to the bill, had given way to the majority, and he thought that now, when the government was likely to be in a minority on • question that did not affect the principle of the bill, they certainly ought not to threaten to throw up the bill if placed in a minority. He and his friends were prepared to agree to the bill without offering • factious opposition, and the right hon. baronet ought not to threaten them with throwing up tho bill because there was a chance of their succeeding in amending it. Sir J. PAKINOTON acknowledged the fairness ex hibited by the right hon. baronet with reference to the bill, but he (Sir J. Pakington) had already given way on many, some of them most important points, and was not prepared to do so on this. After • few words from Mr. WALTER, the committee divided. For the clause Against it The clause was then 'greed to. Clauses from 41 to 49 inclusive., were passed without any discussion of importance, as were those from 61 to 73 inclu sive.

MOLESWORTH (who had a long amendment on the paper) suggested that at that hour (midnight) they should not go into this question. Mr. DISRAELI said that the discussion in reference to the New Zealand Company might be taken on bringing op the report. Sir W. MOLESWORTHfobjected ; and Mr. DISRAELI then suggested that the 74th clew should not be tabu until the other clauses had been dis posed of. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. MOLIEWORTE assented, but Mr. AOLIONDT ob jected ; and, Meer some further conversation, The house resumed, the chairman reported progress, and it was agreed to take the committee again on Thursday next, after supply. THE EXPULSION OF BRITISH PROTESTANT MINISTERS FROM AUSTRIA. In answer to Mr. ANETET, Mr. DISRAELI said he believed the papers in reference to this matter were printed, and they would be laid before the house. THE CASE OF MR. MATHER. Lord D. STUART said some papers had been laid ea Ise table that day respecting the outrage committed as Mr. Mather, and it would appear from these papers that tho government entirety disavowed the proceedings of Mr. Sennett. As he read these papers, Lord Msbnesbury en tirely disavowed Mr. Barlett, and was not satisfied with the arrangement he made. He hoped government would inform the house if he was right in so reading the despatch, and whether it was their intention to take further steps to obtain redress for Mr. Mather. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must say he was rather surprised at the question. The government bad placed on the table of the house all the papers ; and, if the noble lord asked the government what opinion he was to form from the papers, the papers would soon be in the hands of members, and, whatever opinion they would form, •it we ' • would be he wu conlitiont ktmeal he min ratialassieri to the rummest Tla posts woe loil ea the labia and really hem osionitees mild Sod hem Mar ema *lda Lord D.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his owwww was tide :—They had placed upon the table of the home ell Os papers on this subject, and among these papers there was a deepatoh describing the ulterior steps which her Majesty's government were prepared to take. Mr. M. MILNES comeived his hon. friend was somewhat immature in his demand on the government. In one sense the moment papers wore laid on the table of the house they were supposed to be in the possession of the house, but they were not so. He had no doubt that to-morrow, when the papers were in the pomeasion of members, and when the qucstioa was again put, as he trusted it would be by his nulhe friend, he hoped her Majesty's government would be able to give a satisfactory answer.

Mr. KEOGH hoped the government would name a day that would not interfere with the general election. (Laugh ter.) Mr. ANSTEY said they had better fix it for the 23d of June, and moved on amendment to that effect. Ultimately the amendment was withdrawn, and the debate was further adjourned to the 16th Juno. TRUSTEES ACT EXTENSION BILL. . . The report on this subject was received, and the bill founded thereon passed through committee. SAYINGS BANKS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. THE CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) ACT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND post poned till Monday his motion on this subject. Mr. KEOGH protested against the discourtesy with which the Irish members bad been treated. Early in the evening the right hon. gentleman had been twice applied to, to know whether he would postpone this motion, or say that it should nut be brought on at a late hour ; and be had refused to do so. He would therefore move that the house should now adjourn. Ile protested against proceeding with Irish business at that late hour, sod he would not, he could ilmure the right hon. and learned gentleman, facilitate public business by treating the Irish members with which they were treated that night. (Hear, hear.) He would oppose this bill in every stage. lie did not think the bill at all necessary, and even if neces sary, it was one of a nature that should not be introduced by a provisional government. (Hear, hear.) Be should, there fore, move the adjournment of the house. Mr. NAPIER. said that the bill was a renewal bill, and he did not think it would meet with any opposition. lie cou:d only say that he would treat every member of that bout 'as L gentleman. And no threats of the hon. and learned gentleman would make him forget his duty as a gentle. I man, and as the first law officer of the crown in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ANSI'EY said that the right hon. and lamed gen tleman had not met the charge of the hon. an learned member for Athlone. But the fact, Le supposed was, that the right hon. gentleman was fishing for a night when he might not receive any opposition. (Oh, oh.) The CHANt,ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was nut to the advantage or credit of the house that their discussions should end every night in an unseemly brawl. The disease had almost become chronic now. (Hear, hear.) He was sure his right hen. friend did not intend any dis courtesy to the hon. and learned gentleman. (Hear, hear.) Ile hoped, therefore, the hon. sad learned gentleman would withdraw his motion. Me. SCULLY said that Irish members had a right to complain that Irish questions were brought on at so late an hour. They ought to receive an assurance that no im portant Irish business should be brought forward at an unreasonable hour. If the right hon. and learned gentle man had only told his hon. and learned friend that this bill would not be proceeded with, the Irish members might have gone to bed long since. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER refused to recognise the distinction between Irish business and English business. 11. did not think that Irish members shoull go to bvd whilst the English members were compelled to tit up to transact the public business. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH said that he informed the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland that he would opposo the bill at every stage and in every line. (lieu, hear.) Mr. SADLEIR said that there was • distinction made between English and Irish business, for no important Eng lish measure would be brought forward et that late hour. Lord NAAS said he certainly told the hon. and learned gentleman that he would bring on the bill at a late hour, because he did not think the hon. and learned gentleman was serious in saying that ho wouid oppose every line of the bill, Peeing that ho had supported it, when it passed into a law before. The motion wu then withdrawn. An unopposed return wu ordered, and the house ad journed at 2 •cloth. 2 - z;ite Orpreoo.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6. 3Vmtwr Parliament is busily engaged in giving a constitution to New Zealand, the public seem intent upon supplying a population for Australia. Emigration is more and more the fashion—the thing itself among some classes, the topic among all. Country cousins tell us that "the furor is spreading;" and in town there is no competing topic, unless it be the betting-houses. Never was a sprinkling of Ger mans so needed in our society, if it be indeed true, as the proverb tells, that "where two Germans meet together, there there are three opinions." Opinions are in intense demand, as to how emigration to Aus tralia is to be managed, and what will be the result of it. It is a time for Englishmen to rival Germans —to hold each other by the button, or sit in pairs over their dessert, and see if they cannot achieve three opinions. We cannot have too many to pick and choose from. One of the most significant opinions appears to be that power should be given by parliament to enlarge the means inherent in the poor-law for purposes of emigration. At present, the law allowsan expenditure of 101. per head out of the rates—and no more ; and for this expenditure the sanction of the Poor-law Com- missioners is required in each individual case. When this enactment was made no oue dreamed of such an occasion as has arisen ; and there seems no reason to anticipate any serious opposition to an enlargement of the powers of the Poor-law Board in this direction. Till this can be arranged, it is thought by many that our citizens cannot do better than anticipate the operation of a new enactment by raising loans, and it necessary, charitable sabeariptions, to eke out the allowance already legal oat of the rates. Then comes an opinion, on the one hand, that it is an insult to the colony to send out paupers. On the other hand, there is an opinion that, however true this might be if paupers were sent out in return for the money of the colonists, it has nothing to do with our despatch of emigrants by means of our own rates. It is a sufficient boon, we are told, to the colony, to be furnished with lab ourers at all; and we have a right to send out those that we do not know what to do with within our parish bounds. This is a controversy which will probably be settled by events, ere long ; by the possible event of our having so few able-bodied paupers left as to narrow the question to a mere nothing. Meantime, lot all who can, give an opinion as to what is the best security against Australia being made our weed pit, instead of our nursery-ground of perpetual pro mise. Now is the time to consider this ; for the in habitants of any parish or union must have more control over the application of their money, while it is given as a subscription in aid of the rates than after it becomes a rate. It may be that the law, when obtained, will lay down the conditions of emigration by parochial funds. Whether so or not, citizens had better be thinking about it, and learning what has been done in the case of inland migration, and with what success. It appears to be incontestable that when Lanto*re has called for a supply of labour from Wilre, or when Norfolk labourers have been wanted to stimulate the old fashioned tillage of the northern counties, it has been found best to give the promotion to the choicest among the independent labourers, whose place at home may then be filled by the best selected fro— workhouse. If nbe men .._ _ from the .t emigration promotion, it seems important to public morality that the workhouse should not be its port of embarkation. If we complain that our condemned malefactors take heaven by storm more triumphantly than innocent men, we may u well avoid the somewhat analogous moral mischief of passing over the striving indepen dent labourer, to confer the election on him who has given up the struggle. If wo have any consideration, too, for the colony, we shall remember what over - - temptations are - around her; cl l ir" He thought it beg fair to the liedson's Lord J.

People are coy about telling their thoughts, if they have any, on this prodigious question. It is really remarkable that so small a space iv devoted to this speculation, in print and in conversation. In print, the facts of the hour are given; and iu conversation men joke and shrug their shoulders, and evade the queries of wives and children. If any clear judgment has ever been expressed, by any competent tbieker, on the probable operation of a plenitude of gold, the world would like to have the advantage ..f it. Any thoughtful man would, perhaps, say unit such a change is too vast for prophecy; that changes se vast always bring their own compensation, and eall out their equivalents, which arc invariably su c h a i cannot be anticipated. Be it so ; but, while the function of prophet is going a begging, then: ran be no harm in looking at a kw facts and probabilities. It is whispered, in some alarm, that prices are ris ing in Philadelphia, which is taken to mean that California will reduce fixed incomes throughout the United States. But look at the immigration there—. from Ireland, from Germany, and everywhere else, and say how much gold will he required to supply a currency to such a multitude in so vast a country. Our own furty•six colonies will wont a good deal, and more every year. The inhabitants of our dependencies are not so extremely wise as we are at home. Many millions of them choose to carry their wealth about with them, instead of trading with it. In Bombay Won; it is estimated, the value of the gold and silver ornaments worn by the natives is not less than 5,000,0001. There can be no question that tens of thousands more would wear their wealth in the same manner, if they had it to wear; and their prospects in that way are improving. And we ourselves are not so wise but that Wi• should ail, Quakers included, relish having more gold and silver in our houses. We do not covet none-rings, nor anelets that would be as fatiguing to us as the treadmill ; hut we should like shields of Achilles, and vases and goblets, and statuettes, antimony beautiful things not invented vet. It would take a vast weight of gold to fill up the place of the valuables turned into money, by melting or barter, during centuries of warfare, at home and abroad. When once we have begun to regard gold familiarly as a material of public, household, and personal ornament, the taste for it in that form will spread, keeping up its value in that capacity for a lung time, probably at a paint about its value as coin. Then, there are wars in prospect, as most people think,—continental wars, vast in extent and duration, if their theme and admonitory symptoms are to be regarded. A prodigious amount of' gold would be absorbed by an European war of any length. We might go on, with a pretty long series of such suggestions ; but these may be enough to indicate that nobody need be in any hurry to face ruin. The time will, no doubt, come when the rela tions of the commodity, money, with other eornmodi. ties will change: and the new discovery of gold seems likely to be the means of effecting that which must have taken place, somehow, sooner or later. There is no use in being alarmed,—nor wisdom in being anxious. The use of the great fact may be made noble, if we apply it to the wise founding and redemption, at once, of a new and old society. The wisdom of those who are thinking of their own little interest in the mighty news--the wisdom of such persons as the old lady who owned that it did not matter to her how the world went on, while she had her little roast chicken and her little game at cards—is simply in varying their investments under the advice of judi cious friends, who will tell them that if one form of property shrinks, another will expand. For the rest, if some great revolution of " property and standing" should take place at some future day —what then? The fear of it now would be a greater evil than the experience of it then. We do not think it likely —through such an agency as this new gold: but, rf it were so, is there any one of us who will venture to wish any new discovery unmade? All the pairs of German arguers that can be found in Europe would hardly undertake to produce, with all their diligence, such an opinion as that. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVINII4O. The reporters on the budget have been appointed. M. de Chaseeloup Lauber, Minister of Commerce in the cabinet of M. Faucher, is named reporter on the budget of expenses, and M. Gouin on the budget of receipts. The reports will be presented together about the 20th, so that the discussion of the budget by the Corps Legislatif will be a mere farce, for the session expires on the 29th of June. In the mean time, the ministers are to give a round of dinners, to send away the deputies in good humour to their homes itf the departments. The Minister of Finances, M. Bineau, has issued invitations to about fifty or sixty legislators, and the other ministers will follow his example. Most of the senators have left Paris for their residences in the country ; so that the receptions of the Elythe are somewhat thinned of the richer official costumes. The President has not betaken himself to St. Cloud for good yet ; but he gives dinners there to small circles of confidential friends. It is said that the Princess de Lieven and Madame de lialerghi figured lately at one of these elegant repasts; and gave, previous to their departure for Sehlangenbad t the - of where they hope to gain ear of the Eitifirtss Russia, decided pledges of their good-will in the cause of the Prince President. The Cbustitretionnd continues to hammer away at the eternal letter of M. Fernand de la Ferronays, and says that the Count do Chambord has, by declaring that he re serves the management of his party to himself alone, incurred a responsibility, which rested betbre on the shoulders of Ins advisers, and erected an imperiton in imperio in France. Meanwhile the divisions in the legitimist camp are more abrupt than ever. The party may be divided into three fractions, thew whom their chief calls thefidaes, and who obey his orders scrupulously ; those who were Orleamsts under Louis Philippe and are Napolconists now ; and lastly those who are rancorous and irreeoncileable adver saries of the house of Orleans, and by this very an tipathy tend to become imperialist. The Corps Legislatif sat to-day. M. Billault pre sided. Ile read a decree of the President of the Re public presenting a bill for regulating the punish ment of hard labour. The principal provisions of the bill are, that in future any criminals sentenced to this punishment may be em ployed in any of the colonies excepting Algeria in the most painful work that may be necessaiy.,, They may, under certain circumstances, be chained in couples together, and may be subjected to the bookt as an exemplary punishment. Women are to be separated from men, and employed in labour sitting their sex. Criminals worthy of indulgence may obtain permission to accept employment either from privateindividuals or from government offices. They may also be eligible to receive grunts of laud. Such grants, however, are not to be definitive until after the expiration of the period of the sentence. This bill was ordered to be printed. M. Devinek then presented the report of the committee upon the bill for definitively settling the accounts of Is 4 9. rho order of the day was then called tor discussing the bill for the better repression of crimes and misdemeanour committed in foreign countries.
