The Marquis of NORM kNBY asked the noble earl at the been et the Foreige•ottice whether he would have any ota *hoc to lay ea the table the deepetch of Sir James Hud son 1 the '..*tth of Febtuary, tan which be had adverted on • leta , cr taceeion as ixisitainiog en assurance on the part of the Piedmonts , . caNnet that they would submit to their sovereigu the liberation of Mr. Bishop DO the fret fitting um:blots. He regretted to hear that • recent festival, which it ism expected would be accompanied by such seta of elemrocy, had parsed over without Mr. Bishop bean, re leased, and be should be glad if the government of actor Ipaosouel could be induced to keep their pr wise, so he eaderstord that Mr. Bishop was suffering from great pro stration m corsequesee of Ms ..•onfinemeet. Sul RUSSELL said it was true that the Italian govern ment had annouseed their intention to advise their Kate /ma ou the first favourable °cession to grant the release of Mr. dishop, but the noble lord put his own interpretation en that ;Arise. What he (Earl Russell) thooght the Italian government meant by the first favourable °cosies was when the country was generally pacified, and when tku re WOO DO Imager any irritation in 0011.thille0C• of the elasteoce of brtgandsge in Naples. Whet they felt waa that they would expose themselves to great rep toach while br igandage was going on, they showed any lenity towards the party with which Mr. Bishop was usifortonately awrected. From a paragraph which appeared in the news paperr it, however, would seem that the ex-king of Naples had left Rome, aed if that were so, he believed that it would probably teed to the suppression of that brigandage vtial had been so injurious to the public team of Italy. Miro regard to the imprisonment of Mr. Bishop, he had not impugend the justice of the decisions in the Italian court*, but he had represented to the Italian government that in the issietry when imprisonment was likely to be isjuriolut to ha health of a prisoner ' and to be therefore equivalent to the punialinstet of death, it west the usual ()tactics to commute or remit that imprisonment, and he recommended the same eourse should be taken in regard to Mr. Bishop, if there were circumataeoes to justify it. He had, however. hero informed that General Mamma had reported that Mr. Bishop's health was not likely to suffer if he were not subjected to hard labour. The noble lord concluded by lay log on the table, by the command of her Majesty, certain papers which, bessid, included extracts from the despatch el Sir Jas. Hods* to which the noble marquis had referred. OUR RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL. The Earl of MALIESBURY gave entice that when he brought on his motion respecting Brazil on Friday next, he would move for a copy of any cam showing on what ground t►e ,iemand for compensation on the government of Brazil was messed at the stun of 3,100 f. -- - - THE AMERICAN BLOCKADE--SEIZURE OF ENOLLSH VESSELS. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose to move for copies if reports that had been received from the Admiral corn mending her Majesty's squadron on the North American and West lodise station concerning the protection from seizure or visitation afforded to British merchantmen by ' the Ariadoe sad other of her Majesty's ships or gunboats, by convoy or otherwise, end to ask what had been the result tithe remoostrances made to the United States govern ment, by her Majesty's minister at Washington, agninst the seizure of certain British reseals. At a time when the op*. satires of Lanceskire were in their present condition, was it after two rears of this war that the British government was to rampage the continuance of such a paper blockade, which kept from ne so much that we and that the world wanted a blockade which could never give the Federal, the object for which they were contending, for no man of education and intelligence would believe it possible that they could ever subdue and conquer the Con federate States. Did any one believe that even if Vicksburg fell the Southern Stake would sue for peace! It was the duty of the British Government not to allow these infrac tions of maritime law to continue longer, to the injury of our commerce and oar manufactures, and to the reef mien of the whole maritime law of the world. (Beer, beer.) But RUSSELL said that the attention of government had been drawn to one or two recent acts of seise-e, and be bed written to Lord Lyons, directing him to inform the American government that it was evident some of the ships which had bean seined were trading with neutral porta, and that a strong impression prevailed in this country that they had been eased in a reckless manner. The answer of the American government was that there were sufficient ponds to justify the capture, and that those grounds would be pro►ed before en American mire court. He lad no objection to modem a copy of the correspondence en the subject. As to the blockade zusnitsined by the Palma! Beet, her Majesty's government were of opinion that it was sufficient to entitle it to be respected, end be thought every allowance ought to be arile for any hasty act on the part of the blockad , ng force. He believed also there was every disposition on the part of the United State government to prevent injustice b ,iog done. The Duke of SOMERSET mid it word he inconvenient to produce the reports which bad been received by the Admiralty from the admiral commanding the squadron on the North American sad West Lydia station. The motion was negatived by consent, Earl Russell having, however, promised to lay certain of the papers asked for on the table. (Their Royal Highnesses the Prinoe of W ,lee, the Doke of Cambridge, and the Princess Msey were all present during the above discuesios. The Prince of Wiles conversed with Earl Granville, and appeared to take seat intermit in the proceedinp.) PRISON BILL The house writ into oogiunittes on this bill. The Earl of DERBY said he was rather unfortunate In the expressions which he used the other evening is eroding the grounds upon which he was thoroughly convinced of the superior claims of the protestent over the Roman catholic re ligion. fished stated that he believed the Roman catholies en tertained some erroaeone doctrines, and that they acted upon beentirely repugnant to Scripture. At the same time be stated that is his opinion both the protestant and Roman catholic religions, Dots ithstanding the difference betwcen them, rested upon the same foundation, and resting upon that he could not but believe that the Oaching of Roman catholic priests, although it might be considered erroneous in some respects, would yet have • beneficial ten dency clan persons of that religion. The next morning after that debate he received a newspaper in which be was told that he bad been guilty of the grossest misconduct in pretnming to say that the protestant and the Roman catholic religion rested upon the same foundition, because the one was the worship of God and the other of • piece of bread. Be begged their lordships pardon for quoting such offensive language. On the other hand he received a letter from a Homan catholic, remonstrating with him for having stated that both religiose rested upon the same foundation, because the writer aid the Roman catholic religion rested on the scriptures and the church, and that the teaching of the protestant" was a work not of Clod but of the devil, and that upon that teaching alone did the protestant religion exist. (Minimum) Those were the views Laren of his statement, which be thought was a reasooable statement ; but be had been charged on the one side with the grossest blasphemy, and on the other with the moat utter ignorance of what the protestant and the Rotum c were. (Hear, hear.) In making the statement to which he had alluded, he wand their lordship' it was not his intention bey anything to hurt the feeling" of any Roman catholic. (Hear, hear.) He bad simply expressed his dis sent from the doctrises of their religion. The remaining clauses 'mead through committee, and the hour" resumed. SALMON FISHERIES (pOTLAND) ACT CON. TIN IJANCE SILL. Thu bill pord through commit* & LIEUT.-COLONEL .. C . RAW . I,.Fy AND SEROEAN'T• MAJOR LILLEY. The Eerl of SHAFTESBURY asked the Secretary of Stets for War whether it is the intention of her Majesty's government to inslitate any farther inquiry into the case of Lieut.-001ms' Crawley end Servant-Major Lillay The Doke of CAMBRIDGE said the conduct and dis cipline of the Indian army rested with the oommander-ia chief in India, and the oorninneder-in-chief is this country stood only in the position of referee in the last mart. He had, however, considered it his duty to notice the proceed hags in this osse when they were officially brought to his knowledge. At the time his recently.publiehed memoran dum was drawn up he was not io possession of sufficient in formation to justify him in doing more than ex preenieg every etroim opinion on the cow His did not then know of the illegal imprisonment of Sergeant-Major Lilley, and certain other circumstances, which had since led him to direct • coortmartial to impure into the conduct of Col. Crawley. Be had no denim to screen anyooe ; but it wee his earliest trial thatjaeuee should be done to all, and be denied that he had suffered any pressure to be put upon himself in the stetter. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that the speech of his royal bighorn relieved bin of the necessity of saying more than a few words. As their lordships' bad been in formed, it was the intention of his royal highness to bring Lieutenant-Colonel Crawler to • court-martial for the circumstances attending the death of Sergeant-Major Lilley. The precise nature of those charges were matters now under the comideration of the authorities, and it would be improper for him to exprem any opinion on the subject. Every step would be taken to insiire that the inquiry should he oxidneted in the most open manner, and with perfect farrows to all parties concerned. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY trusted the inquiry would be carried on in Eisitspd, sod not transferred to India, where, in fact, it had already been prejudged by the snags tics that Sergeant-Major death was the meth of habitual iotoricatioe. The Earl of MALMFSBURY said he had that day seen a letter from Sir Hugh Rose, stating that his assertion to the effect just mentioned wee grounded upon the statement of the surgeon of the quantity of spirits supplied to Sergeant- Major Lilisy while under amok VACCINATION (IRELAND) BILL.

Mr. CAVE asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's government had re ceived information respecting an iMernational conference, which, according to the Moniteur, had been opened in Paris for the purpose of examioirg into the project of a telegraphic line from Europe to North America, via Brazil and the West ladies, and whether any steps bad been taken for the re presentation of this country at such conference. Mr. LAYARD believed there had been a conference at Paris respecting the project to which the hon. gentleman referred. Proposals had been err le to her Keret> 's go vernment, but they were of opinion that in consequence of the engagements to which they were already committed, it would not be advisable to take any part in the scheme. COLONEL MELVILLE WHITE. In answer to Colonel FRENCH, Mr. LAYARD said that a despatch bad been received from the Peruvian government, ins.ructing their agent here to come to au undone-ding with her Majesty's government as to to foreign Power to which the cam of Colonel White should be referred for arbitration. THE EXHIBITION BUILDING. The house having gone into committee of supply, Lord P LMEBSTON rose to propose a vote of money for the pure& e of the Exhibition building and lands at South Kensington. In doing so, he observed that the im mediate objects for which the government desired to make the purchase were au addition to the British Momenta Pod the extension of the Parant Office sod Museum and the Portrait Gallery ; sod supposing that the lend were to be acquired in a more central poeitioo, eight acres—which was the smallest estimate—.cod buildings would cost 1,500,000 f. ; five acne, 1,107,C031. ; and three acres—the lowest estimate - 750,C M. In contrast with this, the proposal he bad sow to make was a very economical one, and would give a greater command of space at much leas cost. He proposed, then, that the public should purchase 17 acres of the land beloog ing to the commissioners of the International Exhibition, and which was covered by the building in which the late Exhibition was bald. For that land the commissioners were willing to take 120,0001., and 80,C C3l. for the building thereon, so that for 20 ( 1,0 001. the nation would enter into poesesion of the whole. To make the buildiig substantial, however, would require 154,0001. ; the conversion of the two glees domes into brick would cost 40,Cr11. ,• the stucco orna mentation of the fronts 45,C00/., sod other improvements and alterations would bring the total to 4134,C20/. He assumed that the whole building should be repaired, med. solid, and adapted to the purposes for which it was wanted. For the present, however, not more than one-half the structure would be required to be so treated. That being the con, the 184,0001. in excess of the purchase-money might be equally divided, so that 142,0004 was all that need be spent for the next year ; which, added to the 200,0001. for land and building, would come to 342,0001. as against 750,0001. if the land were bought in the centre of the metropolis on the smallest scale—three acres—on which an estimate bad been made. It was not intended to remove the National Gallery from Trafalgar-square, nor to send the learned bodies to Kensington. In conclusion, the noble lord moved a vote of 67.000/. on account. Mr. GREGORY, in proposing the rejection of the vote, said that the arguments with which the noble viscount had supported the project were as unsubstantial as the founda tions of the edifice which be asked the house for the means of purchasing ; and if the motion were acceded to the house would be reversing the decision at which it arrived last year. The question at issue was really a working man's question. They were going to bring together parte* patents, birds, and beasts, and create an minium pother em pie at Kensington, a scheme which the house always pro tested against, for it had been proved before a select com mittee that the natural history collections of the British Museum were moat popular, and that the visitors who at tend:3 them greatly exceed , ol the whole number to the rest of the eatabliabment, and in tnnsferring these collections from Bloomabuiy W Kensington they were in fact Liking them from the poor and giving them to the rich. The next point was with respect to the "marvellous bar gain" of which the noble lord spoke. He wanted to limy one of two tbion—first, why had the commissioners of 1831 given them this extraordinary bargain ? Why had they not sold the ground to the government for its full value, and invested the proceeds in the manner in which those pro ceeds were to be applied, namely, for the promotioo of meioses and an —(bear, hear)—or if they did not choose to do that, why, is the second place, did they not hand over the whole of the ground to the government at once? (Cheers.) He heard various stories of an extraordinary character with respect to it. He heard that the commissioners could not do that, and were therefore obliged to adopt this middle course; and why! because they were he was told, involved—or rather had, involved the mosey which they had obtained for public purposes, in a private undertaking, namely the Horticultural Garde/reef The reason why, as he (Mr. Gregory) understood it, they wen to get the marvellous bargain from the commissioners was, that the commissioners wished to give something to the government in order to get back something from the nation to recoup the money which they had spent upon the Her- Unita& Gardens. (Hear, bear.) Now the sum of money they were called upon to pay for the building was 364,0001., sad the noble lord called that a mavellous bargain. He (Mr. Gregory) said it was an enormous sum of money to pay for converting what was a mere make-shift into a permanent structure, because rubbish was dear at any price. (Cheers.) He was borne oat in that conclusion by Mr. Mellott. the eminent civil engineer, who pronounced that the building was " unfit by any amount of outlay short of its reconstruction to become a depository for antimal col lections deny sort." (Hear, bear.) They ware about to involve themselves in omelets and reprehensible expenditure in order to draw into one place the different scientific iosti tutioos of the country— a principle against which the House of Commons had more than once protested. He for one did not wish to see all those institutions coming into the grasp of that craving, _meddling, flattering, toadying, &r -eeking clique that had established itself at Kensington— (cheers)—that bad been doing good business there and now wished to extend their operatioos. Public opinion was beginning to get very sore upon this point (Hear, hear.) One of the best critiques on the matter which bad vet ap ed was published yeaterlay in one of the periodicals of the day. The writer said that the building was far from popular - (hear, hear) —but that the people compacted with it were more unpopular still, and that if it should happen that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Disraeli, who were agreed on the subject, failed to bring op their contingents and suffered defeat, it would be owing more than anything else to the increasing dislike of the public and their representatives to the parasites who had fastened themselves upon the institutions at South Kensing ton, and were expectants of the new kingdom come which was about to be established there. (Hear, bear.) All be could say was, let the government give up this scheme and come to the House of Commons next year with a well prepared plan for a moderate-sized National History Museum, and let the house have a plan and specification before them, sod the. they would know what they were doing. They wanted a patent office, but they had already 150,000/. in hand for the building of a patent office. But he implored the house not to purchase this building, for if they did they would entail upon themselves perpetual mortification and disgrace, and they would involve Unm eshed; in an expenditure the amount of which it was impos sible to calculate. Not only were they uncertain as to what would be the mot, but they would be putting the coping stone, the pinnacle, the crowning act to that artistic aa architectural degradation, for which he regretted to say England was already too notorious. (Lood cheers.) He moved the rejection of this vote. (Wes of " Divide, divide.%) Lord ELCHO seconded the ea:sediment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the ques tion before the committee at that moment was, whether or sot they should take the eaten offered to them by the commie einem and his hoe. hind said they ought to have laid before the house &peacetime containing meet minute details as to the made in which the whole of the seventeen acres were to be disposed of. Mr. Hunt had done this thing , the time occubsoi fr ienda. badbi: hunoannle n had ot sahi b*" o,e Paid w f o o r r il "'as Hie eaten and for aught li r the M y ali ko st ew i to in the cet iag trary h t might be merely a day or a couple of den. His hon. friend 20 4 that by this propcaed purchase of lead at Kensington they WOW , robbing the poor for the benefit of the rich ; sad be said that the Briti s h Museum was the site to which all old have the easiest access,there and that would Crollel could facility of acme to South Ken • too. MM hoc hind mot boar In mind that a fiunt:lnial change was about to be made in the facility of communica tion from one part of Loadoo to another. Even one yearago the facility of locomotion by railway between distant parts of the metropolis Was an unsolved problem, but now was proved to be perfectly easy, and in the courseOf few years& ring of railway °mammals:mien would beoompleted,sod South Kensington would be os the line,aod so JIMMY theserailways were made every point on the line would be far better for communication with any distant point in the metropolis than any point that was off the line, and, therefore, what ever might be the relative advantage of Swath Kensington and the British Museum at the present moment, that advan- • tage would be altered enormously in favour of South Ken sington. But what was the present state of the case ? His boo. friend said that no visitors went to South Kensington. I (" No.") Then what did he mean when he said they were I going to rob the masses for the beoefit of the rich ? The Bri trah Museum had the advantage of a collection which had been in proems of accumulation for more than 100 years. The South Kensington Museum was the child of yeaterday- It was in 1853 or 1864 that he proposed the first vote for it. The visitors to the British Museum in 1862 were 895,000, and to the South Kensington Museum they were 1,20,000. [A Miami : That was the Exhibition year. 1 He was quoting the same year for both. (Laughter.) Of mares it was a greet disadvantage to him to go back bemuse it was a rapidly growing institution, but in 1861 the viniton to South Kensington were 604,000, and to the British/40mm 641,000. He believed that less than a third of the visitors bad at tended in the evening. (Hear, hear.) His hop. friend said he was in favour of aslight extension of the British Museum, but he gave his irresponsible opinion spinet the opinion of those whose duty it had been to make a responsible exami nation of the question. The hon. gentleman said they were going to adopt "the monstrous scheme" of Professor Owen. The government had a very different opinion of Professor 017011 • but still, taking the plan of his noble friend as they ou wld:there would be a saying of 300,000/. or 400,000/. Would the hon• gentleman say that three acres was an irrational or monstrous space for a natural history rollec. tion ? He was sure he would not; but if he did not, the ground was cut from under his feet. (Hear, hear.) It was absolutely the duty of the govern ment to take the judgment of the house as to whether they give 80,0001. for the buildings at South Kensington ; but that was not the question now before the committee. (Hear, hear.) The question before them was one that had been blinked and evaded by his hon. friend, namely, should the government endeavour to obtain ponsession of the 17 acres of land? His hoe. friend had by lbia silence admitted that three acres were necessary for the natural history collection. For a patent museum they must have five acres—that at Washington covered eleven ; and so here were eight acres absolutely required, to say cothiog of the national portrait a?, and other collections that might hereafter to He hoped that bon. gentlemen would give their Totem on this occasion with a due sense of the reeponsibi lity which rested upon them ; for there was coondeiable reeponeibility attaching to bon. members in this matter. For a long time it had been observed, and observed with rare unanimity, that every possible evil of vacil bitioa, uncertainty, delay, end expense had at tended the house's method of managing these great questions of public works. (Cheers and counter cheers.) But did hon. members really think that that system would be mended by statements coached in highly coloured, if not in exaggerated tones, by unmeasured denunciations of men of great authority, who had carefully examined this ques tion oc behalf of the government ; and by ruthless assaults upon the performances of ambit/ta, and by a total misap prehension of the technical merits of a case of this difficulty The House of Commons might reject the vote if it thought fit They had a perfect right, and they would be acting within their province, to do so, but the advisers of the crown had considered carefully, and had °pandered long, what was the beet scheme they could suggest, to meet the urgent wants of the country. They not only believed thatthe plan proposed by his noble friend would be by far the cheapest mode, Dot they were not aware what other plan they could adopt ; and they were at any rate not prepared to propose the extravagant and outrageous one in which his hors. friend—in the name of economy—wished them to embark. (Cheer.) Sir J. PAKINGTON (who spoke amidst such loud ex pressions of impatience that the purport of his observations scarcely reached the gallery) was understood to oomplsin that the government had treated this as a purchase of land, but the vote spoke of land and buildings. It should be clearly understood what these buildings were. He thought the government would have failed in their duty if they had not made an attempt to purchase the land. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the building in question belonged to the commissioners, and not to the contractors. They were the refreshment rooms facing the Horticultural Gardens. Putting them entirely out of the question, the price of the land would be about 7,0001. an acre. Mr. ATItTON pointed oat that the buying of the land was not to be a purchase pure and simple, but one foe the of sciesos and art. (Hear.) Pu ' I ATZHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Undoubt edly it was not proposed that the government should buy the laud to sell won at a profit ; but they would buy it to be disposed of at the platoons of the house for any purpose connected with science and art. (Hear.) Lord ELCHO was understood to defend the vote on the ground that the land was necessary to remedy the chronic congestion of all one national collections ; but the noble lord being prevented by the impatience of the house from proceeding. moved that the chairman report program. (Oh.) Lord PALMERSTON rose amidst great confusion and arias of "Divide." He aid-Sir, I think we had better make program before you report it. I think the house has made its mind op —moor, Dem)— and I hope they will not agree to the motion of the noble lord. If instead of decid ing the question upon this occasion the home should wish to have further time to consider it, the house can of course =its consideration, but I hope they will come to a upon it now. (Cheers and cries of " Divide.") Mr. OSBORNE was much struck with the WWI of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, not following the example of the noble lord, had completely given the go-by to Captain Fowke's enormities. But let the house remember the unsatisfactory nature of the plans and esti metre that bad bren submitted to them. A great scheme WY brought forward in a solemn manner. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer talked of the misapplication of the estimates, let the house remember that the estimate for this very building was set down at 740,0001., and that it was not finished for over 3,000,0001. (Cheers.) Let that for ever be a warning to the house not to enter into improvident estimates for schemes for which they were manifestly unfit. The question that theCtairman should report program was then put and negatived. The committee then divided on the motion, when there appeared : For the resolution Against 135-132 The vote was consequently carried amidst cheering. Lord PALMERSTON then said—Sir, when I had the honour to move the first resolution, I did not wish to proms tl'e house to come to a division to-sight upon the vote, and, therefore, if the committee wish it, we will postpone the further resolutions till Thursday week. (Cries of "Go on" from the ministerial benches.) Mr. MALINS maid he apprehended the house was quite unprepared for the course proposed by the noble lord. If the noble lord did not like the temper of the committee, possibly he did well in not going on with the revolutions but he was quite sure the committee would be aware that the postponement of the resolutions was agreed to for the accommodation of the government only, and not of the com mittee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. OSBORNE said that, as a member of the committee, be most emphatically protested against what had fallen from the boo. and learned gentleman. It was a perfectly understood thing that these votes should be postponed. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded immediately to the next vote, aid amidst much laughter proposed a vote of 8061. for the salary of the Secretary to the Commiamioners of National Education for Ireland. Hon. members rose in great numbers to leave the house, and the vote was agreed to in the midst of a noise and confusion which rendered in audible the voice of anyone attempting to address the com mittee. After some seconds, Mr. A. SMITH asked why the British Museum vote had been passed °ear. Mr. WALPOLE maid it had been postponed at the request of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets and others till after the discussion on the Exhibition building on Thursday next. A variety of votes were then agreed to. 1.5001. Theological Prof enure at Sanest. Mr. HADFIELD objected to that portion of the vote which went to give retiring allowances to the protestors. He moved that the vote be reduced to the amount of 4601. The committee divided: For the vote For the amendment 25-70 The vote was then agreed to. On the question that the resolutions be reported to the boo M n, r. CONINOHAM objected to the report being received ao early, observing that be had been waiting there for a long time to take foe the the diaouaaion on the next vote— namely, that the National Gallery. As Hon. kftwese—Give notice. Mr. CONLNGHAM gave notice that when the vote for the National Gallery wu proposed he should move that it be reduced by 1,400/., the item for incidental and travelling az and . r;HlTE agency observed that several boa. members seemed smokier that the committee should proced with the votes. The CIIILEBILUI having again put the quotient that he and Mrigra l 'itan having again objected, The committee divided ; For reporting mewed Assiut it The house then resumed. MANAGERS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND.

SMITH complained of the gradual itlOß4llllof this vote. ead moved thst it be reduced by 10,0001., part of which sum was required for reeideseesat South Essioagton. In reply to Mr. C. liturrnics, Mr. LOWE said that there reshbaces were necessary for °Mows who slept on thsprawbee airtight. The beau divided, when the numbers were : For the reduction Against it 108 20-88 EVENING, JUNE 16, 1863. The amendment was consequently lost, and the vote 'Mato. THE VOLUNTEERS' BILL Ou the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. 00X presented seversl petitions praying for en alteration is the clause which gave power to commanding officers to dismiss volunteers without inquiry. Sir ft. CM-rox also presented numerous petitions to the earns effect. Mr. HENNESSY moved that the bill be recommitted, in order that clause 26 should be struck out and another clause inserted, to the effect that there should be a court of inquiry in every case of complaint. The clause which he propoeed to strike out the volunteers through out the country objected to. The hon. gentleman produced two bundles of letter, all objecting to the power of dis missal which this bill would vest in commanding officers. He believed it was the duty of the house to call the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to this bill, because if this bill were passed as proposed by the govern. meet the volunteer force would disappear altogether. One of the War-office regulations imposed a court of iuiry, but the government proposed to repeal it. He hop ed that some of the military and naval members of the house would give their opinions upon this bill. Mr. COX considered that the clause under consideration was a most arbitrary one. A militia man could be dis missed without full inquiry into the charge brought against him—of the nature of which charge he should be pre viously informed. Was it too much to ask that a member of a volunteer corps should be placed in a similar position ? He believed that if the clause were not struck out of the bill a fatal blow would be levelled at the volunteer movement. The hon. member proceeded to say that from a letter which be had received from Lord Ranelagb he understood that that noble lord was annoyed at an observation made by him (Mr. Cox). He thought, however, he bad only made a fair deduction from the noble lord's evidence, but the noble lord said he never intended any such to be made. Anyone had a right to make his own deductions from evidence, and if the noble lord did not intend such a conclusion to be arrived at from his words, the person arriving at it was lees to blame than the witness who had given evidence which was subject to each deduetioo. However, the noble lord said that he did not intend such deductio n to be made, and he (Mr. Cox) wished to give him all the advantage of publicity to his denial- Mr. J. It. ORfdSBY-GORE said there was not a tittle of the evidence of the noble lord which warranted the con struction which bad been put upon it, and he was en . - prised that the hon. member should shelter himself under the garb of a member of parliament to make a scandalous and groundless assertion. Sir R. CLIFTON—Sir, I move that the words just used be taken down. (Laughter.) The SPEAKER—I certainly should myself have risen to say, that after the remarks of the bon. member for Fins bury, I think the worry which have fallen from the hon. member are unparliamen:67, and I think that on reflection the hon. member will regret laving used them. (Hear.) Mr. GORE—I should be sorry to my anything disrepect ful to this house; but at the some time when • man is not here to defend himself, I tb , nk there should have been better ground for the charge made against him. lam sorry I have offended the house. (Laughter.) The SPEAKER—The hon. member regrets the use of the words complained of, and I hope that will he satisfactory to the house. (Laughter.) The question is that the bill be recommitted. Mr. CONINGHAM said he considered that the clause in question win most objectionable. Mr. S. FITZGERALD thought that, with the denial of the noble lord in his hand, no one had ever listened to an expression of regret so unsatisfactory, and he would almost say SO ungenerous, as that which fell from the hon. member for Finsbury. (Hear, hear.) In a charge similar to that made by the hos. member— Mr. 00X—I made no charge. Mr. S. FITZGERALD would say, then, in the hon. member's statements of the noble lord's views— Mr. COX—I made no statement of the noble lord's views. I merely said th at Rome commanding officers appeared to regr4 that they had riot the power of flogging volunteers. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said the hon. member applied that deduction to the noble lord's evidence. The im putation had been disseminated by hand bills amongst volunteer corps, and after the noble lord had taken measures before the magistrates of the me to set himself right with the public, =t i ter he bad written to the hon. member for Finsbury denying the views which the hon. member had attributed to him, he thought it a most incomplete retraction merely to state that he gave the noble lord the benefit of his denial. (Hear, hear.) He had reed the evidence to which the hon. member referred. and he believed there was no man in the country more opposed to the views attributed to him than Lord Rthelagh. The Marquis of HARTINGTON could not regret that this matter had been brought before the house for the third time, as it had afforded the hon. member for Finsbury . an opportunity of making some retractation of the aspersions which he cast upon the noble lord the other night. Mr. COX—I cast no aspersions. (Leughter.) The Marquis of HARTINGTON could have wished that the retraction bad been more complete and memento. (Hear, hear.) The bon. member for Finsbury led the house to suppose that it was only since the denial proceeded from Lord Ranelagh that be had been aware that those were not his real sentiments. Lord Raoelsgh had taken every op portunity in his power to make the refutation of the accusa tions against him as complete as possible, and he thought it have been within the knowledge of the hon. member when he spoke the other night, that Lord Ranelagh had not only denied—but had most successfully denied—the impu tation. (Hear, hear.) The course taken by the boo member for King's County (Mr. Hennessy) was a moat ex traordinary one. He could have understood the hon. member saying that he considered the bill so tad that he would refuse to vote for the passing of it in its present shape, bat to move that it be recommitted for the purpose of making an alteration which had already been twice fully discussed by the house was a proceeding closely bordering open a trifling with the house. Not one single new argument had been brought forward in favour o: the amendment, and of all the cases which had been brought before the house in its support, and they had certainly been raked up in a most industrious manner, not one bad been substantiated. He believed that the alteration would be most unpopular with the volun teers.

Revenue sod Ezpeaditare of the Year. Netpremluma received £127,916 2 7 Losses by lire including all outstanding charne, commiesion to agents, and charges of manage ment applicable to this branch Surplus " Your directors would all the attention of the share holders to the fact that, notwithstanding a further loss of revenue, through the discontinuance of the Ameriun busi ness, amounting to upwards of 10,0001., the premium' for 1862 show a considerable increase upon the preceding year. The net premiums for the year 1861 amounted to 116,8541. 18s. 7d.. while, as already shown, that amount is exceeded in 1862 by upwards of 12,00 W. "It must, however, be borne in mind that the period embraoed in the accounts for the year 1861 consisted of eleven months only, so that the increase is not so great as, at first sight, it appears ; but under the circumstances above referred to, the shareholders will probably consider it a very satisfactory advance. " Ever since the year 1852, when the company took the Important step of extending its business beyond the narrow limits of Scotland and certain districts in Ireland, to which, until then, it bad been confined, it has been the good for tune of your directors to hod themselves, year after year, in a position to report an amount of progress such as rely few of the fire offices of this country have achieved at any period of their history. In the year 1851-2, the whole re venue of the company from fire premiums did not amount to 10,0001. It is now nearly 136,0001., or about thirteen times the amount at which it stood ten years ago, sod the company has is that period risen to occupy the seventh place (in point of income) on the list of the fire of of the United Kingdom. " Nor is it only io respect of the magnitude of the COM piny's transactions that your directors look back with satis faction on the labours of the past ten years. While it is elnutted on all bands that the business of fire insurance has, during the greater part of that period, been, on the whole, unprofitable to the offices, the Northern Company, notwithstanding occasional heavy loans, has always been able to show a considerable sum at the credit of Mt reserve fund. On the 31st January, 1861, this fund stood at 47,1311. 7s. 114., but in consequence of the severe loss which the company sustained by the great fire which occurred in London in Juno of that year, the fund was reduced at its close to 2.1,4901.

Under these circumstances, it is to the latter that your directors have, in the first instance, to crier their congratulations on the results of the year. By comparing the foregoing with former reports it will be found that in 1862 a larger number of new eutrante joined the Participating Branch than in any previous year. The claims by death were, at the same time, considelahly lighter then the calculations of the office provided for ; sad the amount added to the Accumulated Fund is within a fraction of 30,000 i. " In the Nou.participating Branch, which interests the proprietors sloes, although, so before stated, the amount of new boldness has been small, the claims by death have also been below what was to be expected in the 27th year of the company's existence; and the sum carried to the credit of the Accumulated Fund is correspondingly large.

SECRETARY reed the monthly report of ths Central Executive Committee, wh oh' that these hie hone a considerable increase in the number of pawns fully employed. The hoe. secretary's monthly return shows that on the 30th of May there was an increase of 13,451 pee. sons working full time. and that there was a decrease of 68,389 persons in receipt of relief from local committees. On the 30th of May there were 87,938 men, boys, women, or children employed under the local committee', either in work or educational classes. Since the lest meeting grant, bad been made amounting to 63,2191. 15e. Bd., thus making the total grants up to the present time 424,5081. ltis. Bd. After some disouleioo, The Town Cumt, at the request of Major E. Leigh, embodied his views in the following resolution :—" That, looking to the certainty of a greatly increased measure oa the rates which will arise during the ensuing winter, it is, is the opinion of this meeting, desirable that parliament, be. fore separating, should provide additional facilities to boards of guardians or overseen for borrowing, at a low rate of interest; and upon satisfactory terms as to the re-payment, such sums of money as may be required." Major LUGS seconded the motion. Mr. FAREALL said that such a movement at the present moment wee likely to create a vast amount of difficulty in the Home of Commons. Peril:merit was at present engaged in passing into the hands of the loan commissioners a sum of a million and a half of money, and it must be well known that the house was not altogether composed of the friends of Lancashire, and Mr. Villiers' bill was not likely to be carried without considerable opposition. Now they were asked to go to parliament with an eaten mounts, slaking the loan commissioners for probably soother million and • half. (The Town Clerk: Very likely.) This would make three millions. His impressioa was that this would betaking a dangerous murk, and that it would be better to let the government have an opportunity of priming one measure through the haulm before they brought forward a fresh suggestion for loans at a low rate of interest. After considerable further discussion, The Town CLERK admitted that it was undesirable to have anything like en appearance of division, and with the consent of the meeting he would withdraw the resolution. The motion was then withdrawn, and the meeting ad- Yearned. THE EICECUTIVECOMMITTEE. A meeting of the Central Executive Committee was held; Sir J. KAY SKIITTLINVORTH is the chair. The HON.
