Colonel GILPIN asked the Beensiary of State fee Sadie whether he still adhered to his deterstantios of mot to. rrhis retiresseet list of efts., of lug esuise, bet still el ig than twilit) years' service, who were sow receiving India pay. bat for whom no employment ould be found ; whether it was hiteoded to put any olleers to the oewly raised regiments ;: s asd i ihether them wan any chance of the Dior pries mosey shortly distributed? Mr. T. U. BARING with respect to the first qui- Su, the fleciretary of State had resolved no representation from the goverment of India to the offset that it would be advisable to lumen the lett of retirements, and therefore he had so present inteetiort of doing so. As to the second question, be supposed he referred to the new regiments of cavalry and infantry. Odious would be posted to those regiments, and they were in daily expectation of receiving the list of the °Moses from India, but the matter rested with the Commander-in-Ohlif in ladle. With respect to the Dhar prise mosey, the prioniple of the warrant, under which the money would be distributed, hod bee* decided epos. That warrant was sow being prepared by the Treasury; the delay which had taken plus woe owing to the lamentable ilium of the Queen's Advocate. SLAVE TRADE ON THE AFRICAN COAST. Yr. H. SMYMOUR asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty's government wets aware that a system' masted of conveying so-called free nevem from the port of St. Paul's de Loando, on the west coast of Africa, to the Wand of St. Thomas, under the purport of the Por tuguese governor-general ; whether this was not a breach of the treaty of Ju1y,1142 ; and, if so, what steps her Majesty's government ad taken in this matter. Lord PALMERHTON—I am sorry to my that her Ma jesty's government have received information to the effect that practices, such as my hon. friend adverts to, have been 'larded on between the Portuguese settlement. on the swim coast of Africa and the island of St. Thomas that is to my, under the pretence of transporting free labourers, • reel slave trade has been carried on. (Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's government have remonstrated against it, and they are still in negotiation—cornmanicatim. I should rather soy— with the l'ortugue.e government on the sub- W bile communicatioos are pending, it would not advivable to lay the correspoedemee before par liament, but when they are finished, that correspondence will be submitted to parliameot with the slave-trade papers of nest year. (Hear, hear.) lam sorry to add to that statement that the love and habit of slavery is so ingrained in the Spanish and Portuguese nations, that in spite of all the efforts of their respective governments, both the Portu guese and colonial authorities of the east and western coast of Africa, and the Spanish authorities in Cuba, do persevere in violating the orders of their governments and the treaties by which they are bound. But I hope that in the course of time the repeasatatioes of her Majesty's government may lave the effect of stimulating the governments of Madrid sea Lisbon to adopt more stringent measures to enforce their orden, and to take care that their treaty obligations are not violated. (Hem.) KENSINOTON-CiiRDENS. Mr. LEWIS asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention had been called to the state of the paths and woodland in Kensiogton-gardens ; sod, if so, whether it was his intention to take any steps to have the 11&1116 pat into a proper state by drainage ; and whether there was soy prospect of com pleting the works at the ornamental water in the gardens ! Mr. COWPER said that under the trees in Keosington- Wdeal there was an accumulation of water, in consequence of the recent wet weather. That water might easily be got rid of by drainage. but be was afraid the drainage would also get rid of the trees. (Hear, hear.) In former times the tree s had been killed in the ardem by the con. 'traction of dream, and as it was one of the duties of his *Mee to take we of the trees especially. he was not willing to expose them to any risk. With reference to the works at the upper raid of the Serpentine, the contractor, who was sinking • well, had brought up a considerable supply of water, but be wan now occupied in boring the chalk, and it was expected a still larger supply might be obtained by that means. ARMOUR-OASED VESSELS.—MR. HEED'S PLAN. Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if the Admiralty had decided to build or alter any more timber limas ta be eased partially with iroaarniour plating on Yr. Heed's plan, mail the Enterprise now being altered is enspleted aid tried? Lord C. PAGET said there was one vessel being built ae• cording to Mr. Reed's plan, but be wee usable to give an answer a, to the future intentions of the Admiralty with regard to that particular mode of construction. ELEOTRIO LIGHT AT DUNGF,NDIS. Lord LOVAINE asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the electric light now in use at Dungeness Lighthouse had not been successful ; and, if so, whether its adoption was to form p►rt in the alterations contemplated ly the Trinity Board in the Portland lights ; and moved for copy of Mr. Faraday's reports on the light to the royal comniustoners, and of those made by order of the Tnnity Board. GIBSON said the electrklight bait been exhibited only fora abort time at Dungeness, but so far as experience want, the result wee encouraging. A pranced bad been made to the Board of Trade by the Trinity Board for the reconstruction of the lights at Portland, and they bad re plied by iLsking whether the time might not come for placiug the electric light there as well as at Dungeness, but they had received no answer to that letter. At present the matter might be mid to be under consideration. The electric light was entirely in an experimental position, and time most gapes before an opinion could be formed sus to whether it would be safe to adopt it elsewhere. There would be no objection to producing the papers. Lord LOVAINE gave notion that next session he would call attention to the experiments which had been mule wit .the electric light on the coasts of the United Kingdom. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. EXPERIMENTS WITH THE ARMSTRONG GUNS. Upon the [notion for the third reading of the Consolidated Feed (Appropriation) Bill. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY dwelt on the importance of elesiag the cote of credit for the last Chinese war,and asked the government to place se account of the expense of that war befog parliament without delay. ELPHINSTONE inquired what was likely to he the outlay during the remainder of the year for the war in Mina, and urged the necessity of adopting some distinct policy with regard to that country. Is his opinion, the peeper policy for us to pursue would be to establish our selves in • strong strategic pceition on the Yang -faze-kung river, and clear out the 'fseping baeditti along its course. Lord R. CECIL hoped the government would pause before they acted upon such • policy as the one recommended by the hoe. b•ronet. Yr. PEEL remarked that the vote of credit on account of Cbisi, had reference to the late war, and was not avail able for the present operation@ evilest the Tatipiop. Sir H. CAIRNS ealled attention to the recent procession is Dublin in connexion with the new Roman Catholic and inquired whether the government intended to take any proceediogs against the originators of it under the Party Precarious Act Afts s few words from Mr. HENNUISY, Sir R. PEEL said that though the promotion was avow edly a political one, no collision bad taken place, and under Rare circumstances the government did not intend to inter fere in the matter. Mr. E. I'ITZOERAUt called upon the goverment not to allow parliament to be prorogued without giving the country some itaauraeoe that they were not about to enter upon a third Chinese war. Lord PALMERSTON said when the people of Italy rose against their sovereigns and deposed them, the opposition aympathised with the exiled monarchs ; while is the case of China the insurgents were taken under the protection of eertaia gentlemen. The British government was not making nay war in China, except foe the purpose of protecting our trade, which would be annihilated if the trading ports were takes poseeasios of by the Taepings. In answer to Lord H. LENNOX, Tir G. C. LEWIS denied that the Armstrong gun had tailed either by land or sea, or that we had no gun which would penetrate an iron-plated ship. r. MONSELL having made a few remarks, The bill was then read a third time and passed. UNION RELIEF AID BILL. Os the order of the day for going into committee on this Mr. OSBORNE rose to call the attention of the Secre tary of State for the Home Department to the effect of the dirty-sixth section of the Reform Act on the franchise of working men is the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire who may be in the receipt of parochial relief. lie raid this bill was certainly one of the 11304 momentous is its character and bearing that could be submitted to parliament. He could not consider it a mere local measure apOying only to Lancashire and Cheshire, but as mar irekh affected the whole country. Harare every credit to the goveroment, and particularly to his right hon. friend the President of the Beard of Trade, for good intentions, hut at the same time be regretted that a bill of inch im penance should hive been brought forward somewhat in haste, and at the termination of the session, when in the exhausted state of the home its details could not be dis c:need with sufficient care sad attention. They were about to separate under the most gloomy circumstances. The goveromeut admitted that the money of the operatives bad tarn removed from the savings banks, sad that the small tradespeople in the cotton districts were es the verge of han'aruptcy. He. for one, did not believe that with pmoe in trnerica trade would quickly revive in this country. We might procure some little cotton, but the breadth of cotton sown in the Southern States was trot sufficient to keep our people employed during the ensuing year. For his own part he believed that one anew more would convert many of time present ratepayers in the cotton districts into recipients of relief. (Hear, hear.) He begged to say that he made these cbsenations in no party spirit, but simply with reference to the public good. The d i ffi cu lty of collecting the rates in the manufacturing districts became greater day by day. He believed that in Stockport alone they were sow unable to collect 50 per cent. of the rate, and if such were the nese, whit would be the state of things 'rhea the autumn wore on ? The whole of that portion of the kingdom would lie plunged into hopeless pauperism, and the small tradespeople and operatives be involved in nee common nib'. The cause of the prismat aims was not aysibshle to the milleweers, for it was altogether an exceptional ease, and he thought it ought to be exoeptioeally dealt with. The recognition of the blockade of the Southern ports had deprived us of three or four million balm of cotton, and the absence of that supply bed plunged the people of the north, Into a Ai* if not of starvation, at least of pauperism. It might well be ; worth oonsideratiou whether something like a tax on Mousse and available property should not be raised to assist our brethren in the manufacturing districts, for the cotton industry was the fly-wheel el needy an other industries. He could not aliment to the proposal of the bonourable member for Rochdale to raise a loan upon the rates, as that course would swamp thorn districts, and he would prefer to melt a scheme a rate in aid over the whole country, questionable as that course , might be. (Hear, hear.) He wished to press on the govern meet the necessity of taking every precaution that the money raised by private benevolence should be properly distributed amongst the sufferers, and that for this purpose some competent lAMB, unconnected with the ItCdiDi/I tratioa of the poorlaw, should be despatched to the manu facturing district& With refereece to the terms of the motion which he had placed on the paper, ha thought it would be en act of great injustice if men who had borne their sufferings with exemplary patience and loyalty should in consequence of the temporary receipt of relief be deprived of the elective franchise. That right, however, would actually be taken sway under the 36th section of the Reform Act. Previously to the Reform Act, as in the case of °trickled' and Cirencester, the right was not taken away when the cholera broke out and people were in receipt of paro- chial aid ; but after the Reform Act the votes of those who had received parochial relief were invalid. He felt that measures should be taken for preserving the right to vote • to these unfortunate operatives, who were stricken down by what might well be called a pestilence. With regard to the • number of poor voters who would be disfranchised under' the preesnt state of things be might mention that ia . Oldham of 2,275 voters two-thirds were opnritives who would be prectically disfranchised by the receipt of parochial aid. The population at Asbtoo-ender-Lyn. was 29,791, and the voters 1,062 ; but there were 9,600 operatives in receipt of parochial relief, and the cue of Blackburn was equally dis couraging. He found that in Manchester there were 19,410 voters out of a coomitneecy of 316,213, and be believed that there the Cale would not be quite so bad. Preston, however, would lose • large number of voters under the re striction of the Reform Act ; and in the case of Stockport, he believed that out of 1,470 voters 600 would be in re ceipt of aid, thus reducing the franchise to something under 1,000 persons. This was a state of things which ought not to be permitted to occur under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and be therefore trusted that her Majesty's government would give the subject their careen con sideration, (Hear. beer.) Sir G. GREY said tie hon. gentleman did not oppose the principle of a rate in aid, but he made some suggestion for the extension of the rate which might be open to strong objection. The bill, however, would only be in operation mail the Ist of March next, and if the distress should con tinue until next session, and he could not deny that be shared in the apprehension that it would be prolonged, parliament would be able to consider the subject with • full knowledge of all the circumstances. The government were blamed for recognising the blockade of the Southern ports, but if they bad refused to recognise it, that would have been tantamount to • declaration of war with the United States, and the cons.- queues of such • course during the last three months would have exceeded the state of things which bad arisen from the recognition of the blockade. The hoe. member suggested that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment should mod down ao officer to the diatressad districts to commie, • system for dispensing the large funds which bed been contributed by private heoevoleme, but he be. limed that an organisation did already exist extensively is those districts for that purpose. It appeared from the re ports of Mr. Parnell, that those connected with the admi nistration of the poor-law and private individuals were acting together cordially for the relief of the distress, and he (Sir 0. Grey) doubted whether any thing was to be gained by government interference. With regard to the franchise, it would be an additional canes of regret if the operative classes io Lancashire and Cheshire , should suffer not only the loss of their ordinary means of' subsistence, but also the lona their political franchise, but' the hon. member had rather overrated the number who were likely to be affected. The present franc/dm was not only • ratepaying one, but the voter was obliged to be ia the occupation of • 10/. house ; and it did not follow that all who paid the rates would be on the register. Before the Reform Act, it was the common law of the land that a person receiving parochial relief, or a certain class of alms, should be dis qualified from voting, and that act did not alter, but rather relaxed the law. If a person who had received such relief were on the register, he could eontinue to rite until he was objected to at the annual registratioo. Under the circum stances, be did net believe that any objection would be largely made to the votes of these persona because they had received parochial relief, and those who did object to them eunuch a ground would be acting most unworthily. (Hear, bear.) Is any case, however, he did not think that stem porary disqualification would warrant them in altering the' common as well as statute law of the land. (Hear.) Mr. COBDEN said he had not the least doubt of the bona fides of the right hon. gentleman as to disqualifying the poor voter, but he hardly agreed with him in thinking that they could depend entirely upon parliamentary agetits and politi cal partisans exercising that benevolent forbearance which ' had been referred to. Without pursuing the subject further, and as they were all in the dark as to the probable extent of the calamity which was overtaking us, he wished it to be distinctly understood that the question laid over until next session, when it would be quite competent to deal with it on its merits. Mr. WARNER asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether in his opinion it would not be just and expedient to insert • clause authorising an occupying tenant who may have paid the additional rate levied under the in tended act to deduct from the rent in the sent settlement with his landlord the whole or some fixed proportion of such additional rate so paid 9 • . . . . Colonel LINDSAY presented a petition from the board of guardians of Wigan against the bill. The bon. and gallant gentleman said that Wigan was in • very different position to other towns. as it had mimed no less than 7,000/. by private charity for the relief of distress, and coons. quently the rates were much lower than in other places. Under the bill the parish might therefore be called upon to contribute to another parish which was suffering lees distress than itself. He could hardly go as far as the guardians in opposing the bill ; but as scarcely one pariah was the MUM as another, he thought that those which presented remark able exceptions should be provided for. Considering how Lancashire bad been enriched by the cotton manufactures, it would be • letter plan to enlarge the area at owe, and include either a half of the county or the whole county. Mr. VILLIERS said, with regard to the objection that it would be • hardship upon the tenant to pay a higher rate than be expected to do under the agreement with his land lord, it would be difficult to legislate so as to shift the burden. In respect to the observations of the hon. member for Liskeard as to the franchise, he stated that • return showed that out of 390,000 occupiers rated to tenements in Lancashire 294,000 were rated under 101. The house thee went into committee upon the bill. Upon clause 1, Mr. VILLIERS said he would state what amendments be intended tombs is the hill. As it now stood the ex cess of rates which entitled a parish to claim relief out of the common fund, was two-thirds of the average estimated expenditure in the three preceding years. That excited some little difference of opinion, and, therefore, be proposed to substitute a fixed rate at fe. in the pound. (Bear, hear.) With regard to the order in council,' ho propane& with a view to ovoid delay, to substitute a special order of the Poor•law Board, which would have to be signed not only by two principal moot/tries of state, but by three other mem bers of the cabinet. Under the alteration he proposed as to the excess, the case would not occur of a pariah being liable to contribute which had paid more than the parish seeking relief. Mr. E. EGERTON saidhe was glad to hear from the right boo. gentleman that he had consented to make these chamois. Mr. POTTER moved to insert after " Lanaulire and Cheshire," the words, "Yorkshire, Nottingham, and Cum berland." Re said that in Derbyshire there were 12,696 persons who worked in cotton mills. In Cumberland there were 3,281, and the state of destitution in Carlisle was very great. One-third or one-fourth of the population is Car lisle was dependent upon cotton. Mr. VILLIERS said he believed that in Glossop there was every reason to apprehend the rates would soca be 111 s. in the pound, and be would, therefore. include Derbyshire, but as there was not the same meson for including the other counties named, he should not include them. After some discuaaion, Mr. POTTER withdrew his amendment. Mr. VILLIEILS then mo.edlir;;;;clatuse in lieu of clause 1. It provided that where the rates in any parish exceeded be. in the pound, the surplus should be thrown upon the other p►rishes of the union, until they'll paid that ►um. Colonel PATTEN thought it would be convenient at once I to take • discussioa and a division upon the question of whether there should be loans or rates in aid. He had pro erred an amendment with that view, but without having ! the long clause which bad just been moved by his right boo. friend, he was unable to say precisely where it should come in. His amendment was to the effect that, with the sane- Lion of the Poor-law Board, any union might borrow the overplua beyond its ordinary rates. Mr. HENNESSY complained of the difficulty there was in discussing a clause and an amendment, neither of which was in print, and suggested that the present committee should be only pro forma, in order to iutroduce the amendment of the right boo. gentleman ; that the bill should be 'reprinted, ! mid that it should be recommitted to-morrow. (Cheers.) Mr. AYRTON had put upon the paper a number of amendmenta at the request of the hon. member for Oldhsin. who bad left town, and would not return that evening. I It appeared to him ihat nobody would object to the individual parish being aided by the rest of the union till the regalia that union had reached a certain uniform sum ; and be bad therefore purpoeely placed his amendments upon the third clause. The effect of those amendments would be to enable the union to borrow leans instead of empowering the Queen in Council to invoke the aid of the county. As far as be could gather the meaning of the right hon. gentleman's gew first clause, is met all the objections he had e nt er t a i ne ff to the old one. He presumed that the re. in the pound would include the common fund as well as the parochial rates. Mr. VILLIERS was understood to assent. Colonel PATTEN said be would withdraw his amend. moot, sod give the new clause his support, as ha considered it a very good one. Mr. VILLIERS intimated that he did not topsider that an at ss. is tie paid would be 111 r. A. SMITH said that the pressure on the rates warn not only much heavier than it appeared to be, bat it was THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY also more were, owing to the impoverished conditioa of many of the ratepayer. He objected to the principle of the parishes borrowiog money. Mr. HENLEY hoped that now the amendment was withdrawn no further alteration would be found necessary in the clause. The only doubt he had was as to how the question of adjoining parishes aid LWOW earaisit ia to aid could be settled, so as to relieve the suffering partakes soon enough to afford them substantial relief. Of course these poor would require maid every Saturday night. Mir. people said that the guardians Gond at any time make an order upon their treasurers. Mr. HENLEY was happy to hear that the traumas of poor law boards in Lancashire were no wealthy as to have such ample funds at their disposal Mr. COBDEN thought that this matter we. so important I , that the change ought not to be adopted until the districts themselves had had an opportunity of expressing their views. If the rule were that when poor rates rose to two-thirds above their avenge, ralid should be afforded, that would afford a very accessible mode of relief. But be understood it was now propoisd to establish one single oast iron Me, that until the rake reached an uniform standard of Is., no succour was to be had. If that were so, he strongl7 oh. jected to such a proposaL Ha would offer an illustration in the borough of Rochdale. In 1861 the borough rate of that union was Is. in the pound. In the present year, 1862.3, it was estimated that it would be la. 81d. Now Rochdale union could receive no amistanee till that rats bad reached Is. 3d. Observe what • muses Rooltdals would have to go through before it could receive any relief at all. He bad received a commiwication from the chairman of the Relief Committee, stating that within a mile radium from the centre of the town there were 85 maths all engaged in the cotton trade ; 36 of these were closed now; from 14 to 16 would be closed in • we ek or 10 days ; and the remainder were not avenging ahoy, two days • week. In another mouth he believed out of the whole 85 at lent 60 would have stopped. Now he (Mr. Cobden) did not blame any one for thews evils. He believed they were not to be remedied or prevailed ; but he believed they might be mitigated. Any attempt to obtain the cotton by force would only be attended by an aggrava tion of evils. He asked, then, why the practical and saga cious men of Rochdale should not be permitted to meet their desperate exigencies in the way they thought best, by borrowing money on their rates. He regretted that this dheusion had been thrust on to the en iof the session. (Hest, hear.) But it would be better that hon. members should stay longer at their poets than that they should attempt any premature decision, for in that ease they would infallibly be called together in No vember. Mr. NEWDEGATE said be was glad to be able, in this %stance at least, to express his most perfect concurrence in the views of his hoc. friend. By enabling parishes to borrow for themselves, they would be calling in the sasistance of local knowledge and ability. Mr. GILPIN said be did not know to what conclusion his right boo. friend (Mr. Villiers) would corns as to the postponement of this question, but be certainly thought it was a novel proposition that they should burden the rats payers of twenty years hence for bread which was cos , fumed by ratepayen of the present day. It was further a maxim that borrowed money was not so carefully spent as any other. He must plead not guilty to the charge which had been brought against him by his hoc, friend of the in difference and harshness of the Poor Jam Board. The law he believed to be a humane law, and it was the desire of the authorities to carry it out humanely. He was quite sure the authorities of the Poor Law Board had every dispo sition to combine with the observance of the law a true and genuine liberslity. (Hear, hear.) Lord STANLEY thought nothing would be gained by CastCuelr certainly s uppo rtmim th of t r a cl: 6— use ..its F z r op iown part After a few woods from Mr. BARROW, Lord PALMEItSTON appealed to the committee to allow this clause to be struck out, in order to make way for the succeeding clauses. When his right boo. friend brought up the new elates boo. gentlemen would have an opportu nity of proposing any amendment they might think fit. The amendment was withdrawn. Clause 1 was then expunged. Clause 2 was agreed to. Clause 3 was struck out. and clauses up to and including clause 9 wens agreed to, after some verbal amendments. A new clause in place of clause 1, was then brought up and agreed to. A new clause in the place of clauses 3 and 4 wee also brought op end read a second time. Mr. AYRTON moved the omission of words, with the view of giving the guardians power to borrow money not exceeding half the amount of the rateable value of the union and apply it ,to the relief of the distrait' under the direction of the Poor law Board. He contended that the existing distress kad been caused by no act of those who suffered it, but had rather been ceased by the act of the nation, in tacitly allowing a cessation of the commercial intercourse between the two conntriee. He condemned the provision in the bill which gave the Poor Law Board the power of authorising the imposition of rates, and said it was a power sought by the government to enable them to avoid a session of parliament in November. Lord It. CECIL agreed with the hon. member as to the desirability of the boards of guardians having power to raise money on the security of the rates, but di ff ered with him as to the arguments with which he enforced his view. It was simply this, that bemuse the country had not interfered in the war in America, therefore, the whole nation ought to meet the claims which the distress in Lancashire had caused. But that was an argument founded on suicidal inciples. Where WY it to stop? Suppose, instead of • blockade, there bad been • prohibitory tariff, that would have produced theism. results in Lancashire ; but did be mean that we should in that case interfere with our fiesta in a matter connected with the financial arrangements of another country! The hon. member also said the manufac turers were not answerable for that which bad come unforeseen ; no doubt that was true, but yet to • certain extent they were blameable. A war between this country and the United States would have produced precisely the mune effect ; and the manufacturers of Lancashire were bound to look forward to such a contingency. Therefore it was not true to say that the distress was purely accidental, and that the manufacturers had nothing to do with it. The hon. member also talked about the government proposition being made in order to avoid • November session, but that was a suggestion degrading to the house. He believed that the pnnciple of the bill was just, because it provided that Lancashire, which bad primarily benefitted by the cotton trade. ought to contribute to the mitigation of the distress which had come upon it. After a few words from Mr. J. C. &water, Mr. COBDEN said the noble lord imputed some blame to the cotton manufacturers because they had not taken precautions to get a supply of cotton from some other source. But would any man in his senses my that the same labour, capital, and skill which had been applied to the manufacture of cotton in Lancashire should at the same time be applied to the growth of cotton in America or elsewhere. No one pretended that the same capital and skill should be applied to both pur suits. When this country had produced men of ingenious turn of mind who had devoted themselves to the develop ment of machinery and the working of it, and the most ener getic capitalists, who carried on the trade in competition with the whole world, be thought that our spinners and manufacturers had performed their duty, and done their best to stimulate the growth of *Moe. He understood the noble lord to say that Lancashire had taken no part in trying to devise means by which cotton might be procured. Now, he maintained that as • county Lancashire had done all that it could to promote the growth of cotton in India. All that the manufacturers could do was to memorial*e the government to remove the obstacles to the growth of cotton in India, to make roads, and to im prove the tenure of land. Did the noble lord know that Lan cashire bad dime all this! He remembered that long ago as 1850 his honourable friend the member for Birming ham moved in that house for • commission to be sent out to India, and the late Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham highly complimented him on the speech he made in bringing forward that motion. After that his hon. friend moved for • committee of inquiry. Then the Chamber of Commerce in Manchester had constantly dis cussed the subject. Twice they had sent commissioners to India, and of late years there had not been • governor general or • financial minister sent to India but they bad invited him to Manchester or sent deputations to him to London to impress upon him the neces sity of doing what he could to promote the growth of cotton in India, until there was an outcry against the people of Manchester that they viewed India as • cotton farm, and he confessed that he felt almost inclined to share that sentiment. After all this how the people of Manches ter could be blamed he could not understand. They had not a majority in the cabinet, they had no cos to represent them at the Board of Control, and all that they could do they bad done in memorialising the government to improve the means by which cotton could be brought to the sea coast instead of being brought, es at present, on the backs of bullocks. On this matter they bad heard enough. There was no one to blame that he knew of. It was a calamity that had fallen upon them, and all that they bad to do was to address themselves to a remedy for the present distress. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY opposed the amendment. ft appeared to him that the borrowing principle was iodispeo sable and ought to be persevered in. Mr. PULLER said be was afraid that the particular pro position of the hoe. member for the Tower Hamlet's would not meet the difficulty, because it would only come into operation when the aggregate expenditure of the union amounted to ss. in the pound, whereas in some towns it might be much worse than that. In Stockport it appeared that already only 40 per cent. were left in a condition in which they could pay rates, and it was not improbable that in that parish the very small number that would soon be left able to pay rates might be called upon to pay 145., or even more in the pound. Mr. J. B. SMITH said some hon. members seemed to have an idea that if the war in America were settled e a _ morrow the distress in Lancashire would at once cease. But he could not share that opinion. We had been dependent' on America for 85 per cent. of the cotton we used. There remained in America some three or four millions of bales. but there was none elsewhere in the world. There fore if there were • crop raised there would be a scramble for it, not only by England. but by France and qermany, sad by America ; for at this moment cotton was worth • lb. is New Turk which wee only worth Is. M. is Engles& But the estimate that he had was that in Amieries sot more than one fourth el the wog quantity bad hew sown. Where ware we to get our supplies? India was our only resource. And what was the state of things is India? Last year we reosived 1.000,000 balsa. lii right bcffi. -..&-.- EVENING, JULY 29, 1862. friend once thought this year we should receive 1,2'i0,000, but be believed be Wee notof that opinion now. From all amount,. the =Rival= bad not increased, except toe Mall extent. i The expectation of obtaining Indian cotton was really very slight; 1011 it was not likely that America. could she settle her disputes to-morrow, would be able at once to re sume her old supply. The war had become one against slavery, and it was obvious that America could not return to the position which she used to occupy. With such • prospect before them it would, therefore, be folly for the guardians of unions to burden themselves with the yearly payment of interest on loans. He must candidly confess that he did sot know whet the result of the present crisis would be. The manufacturers had kept their mills at work at a lose—in fact, the manufaetured article bad actually in some cases fetched as much as 3d. per lb. less than the raw cotton. He could not allow that the manufacturers had reaped the whole beaelit of the trade's past prosperity. In his opinion the landowner, of the cotton district. had had an equal benefit ; for there had been instances in which the value of the land had been increased seven-fold. It would only be just and equitable, therefore, if they ware called upon to sustain their share of the present burden. Mr. VILLIERS observed that the greatest possible dif ference of epinion'existed ;tato the best mode of meeting the emergency. Some hon. gentlemen bad altered their views since the introduction of the measure ; but after the best consideration be bed 'peen able to give the subject, • rate in aid would be the preferable method of giving assistance to overburdened unions. He thought there would be something equitable in calling on the county to assist the distressed district within it. He confessed that since he had turned his attention Male subject he had been much surprised to find the number of persons living on weekly wages who contributed to the poor rate. A rate in aid would thereforebetoagrest attest contributed by the operatives to relieve their dis tress ed brethren, and thus very little loss of independence would ensue. He agreed that relief by loans would be more immediate in its operation, but it would be attended with much future inconvenience ; and it would be open to the charge of a wan tof careful manage meat, which wasso novel in the ad minstration of public money. He thought, therefore, that though there was no want of plausible arguments on the other side, the balance of the reasoning was in favour of erste in aid ; nor did he find that there wee any great objection to that plan in the districts chiefly concerned in the matter. (Haar, hear.) Colonel PATTEN said the diversity of opinion in the house very closely represented the divided state of opinion amoopt his constituents. He thought they ought to make the owners of property in some sort contribute to the bur den ; but be was satisfied that that could not be done di rectly, otherwise it would become necessary to include stock in trade. On the other hand, if the plan of loans were adopted, the owner of property would be made to pay his proper 'harem well as the occupier. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON—The raising of mousy by loan bad many recommendations so doubt, but it was bad in principle, for it postponed toe foils* time the pressure of the moment, sod the probability was that those who bor rowed the money would not have to pay it back. (Hear, hear.) They all felt that raising of money by borrowing was the easiest mode, but there was an after-clap to raising money in that way, sod the difficulties in the ease would not be diminished by the fact of the payment being poet poised, as the parishes and unions would find when they came to mime the mosey for that purpose, and then they would have to pay both interest and capital ; the burden, therefore, would he increased. He must say that raising money by loan would be establishing a very new and dan gerous system of relief. It had so doubt been resorted to for special purposes, such as for the erection of union heuses and the getting rid of part ofthe pauper population; in those cases parliament had sanctioned the principle of raising money by mortgaging the rates. But it bad never been satctioged where the money was required for the daily, weekly, or monthly purposes of the pariah or union. If they sanctioned the raising of a loan on this occasion, other occasions would present themselves equally calling for • loan, and then his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer would probably have an appeal to him, as in the case of the Irish loan, that the parish or union was so pressed by other calamities, that it was quite unable to repay the money. (Hear, bear.) And then the pressure being great, there would be demands made to transfer the burden from the pariah or union to the consolidated fund. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the committee would not take the first step in that direction. The question was, would those two counties be able to give a rate in aid? There was oodoubt of it, and he bad been informed that if the whole working population of those counties were thrown out of employment the rateable property of the counties would bookie to supply fends sufficient for the aid of the whole population. (Hoar, Isar.) Then was it unjust? It was perfectly just, because no man could shut his eyes toils fact that there was not an acre of land which bad not bees mimed in value by manufacturing industry. The proprietors might not have shared in the profits of the manufactures who had amassed large fortunes, but every acre of lend had been raised in value, and the produce bad been sold at higher prices. Therefore it would be just that the proprietors of the lands is those two counties—though not engaged in manufacturre, and though they had not accumulated &memo's OSpi,als— should contribute to the relief of the working classes. A rate in aid would consequently be just in principle—suffi• cant for its purpose and equitable in its application. He hoped the committee would not be led away by any plausi bility of argument that a law would be better than a rate in aid, but that they would adhere to that sound principle of legislation which was an old established law, sad would not sanction a precedent which would be vicious in principle and dangerous in its practice. (Hear, hear.) - - - Mr. COBDEN begged to suggest to the hon. and learned member for the Tower Hamlets that he would not press his amendment to • division on that occasion, but that he would wait and hear the opinions of the country. He thought it should be known what was the decision of the government upon this matter, and then allow the unions to express their opinions by petitioning parliament. There could be no doubt that a portion of the bill had been considerably changed that evening. It was at first proposed to give • pariah or union aid when the rates were two-thirds more than the annual average, but now it was proposed to let them contribute .is. in the pound before rendering aid to them. That 'Mention in the bill would make a great difference in regard to those parishes that had paid only Is. 4d. in the pound. This was an important alteration, and the unions should have the amended bill to consider what coarse they would adopt. It was for the interest of the government and the interest of parliament that this matter should be seriously considered. The board of guardians for Stockport bad presented • inemorial asking for powers to borrow money, but be supposed his bon. friend the member fur Stockport had since convinced them that they were wrong. At any rate it was for the interest of parliament and the country th►t they should not decide this question abso lutely until Lancashire and Cheshire knew what they pro. posed to do. (Hear, hear.) It was proposed by the amend meet that a parish should be allowed to borrow to the extent of one half the annual vital. Now he thought that would not be required in the toss of Rochdale, not probably to the extent of one qu►rter, before the let of March next. if the boo. and learned gentleman went to • division now he would not obtain a fair representation of the feeling of the committee. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. B. SMITH said it was quits true that the board of guardians for Stockport did desire to have power to raise a loan, but the mayor of Stockport and the chairman of the board of auarthans were satisfied that it would be beet to adopt the bill of the government. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE said the hon. member for Rochdale seemed toconaider this bill as one only for Lancubire and Cheshire. But he protested against such a narrow view of the question, for it was one which concerned all the rate- payers in the country, and the principle upon which the committee would decide the question must affect all the interests of the country. He thought the immune against a lose were conclusive. It might be easy to borrow money, but it might not be easy to repay it, and be thought it would be far better to face their difficulties in the first instance. . . Mr. AYR'TON said that personally he was indifferent upon the subject of his amendment, and it would be for the committee to take what course it might please, and demand a division or not. He begged leave to add that he enter tained oo such ulterior views as those ascribed to him by the noble lord opposite. Mr. COBBEIT would be sorry to go to a division at pre sent. He had not received the opinions of his constituents on this bill, wbo were considering what coarse they ought to adopt. He had received one letter, in which it was intimated that the board of guardians should have power to borrow money, but he himself was inclined to a rate in aid, though be would not (oppose any other course. He had not heard of very great distress among his con stituents, and the rates at present were not more than 3. in the pound. But he feared the distress would be much greater in twelve months. In the uncertainty in which they were placed, he should be sorry if the committee were required to divide on the principle of giving boards of guardians power to raise loans. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then negatived without a division. Mr. LYGON proposed a clause which would have the effect of permitting the chairman and vice-chairman of the board of guardians of the board to be rated in Did, to ,attend and vote at the meeting of the guardians of the union aided. After a brief discussion, Mr. LYGON withdrew his chinas, intimating an inten tion of bringing forward the subject again, in the event of the ministry taking no step in the same direction. The preamble of the bill was then agreed to; and the oonsideratioe of the report was fixed for Wednesday next. BANKRUPTCY ACT (1861) AMENDMENT RILI.. This bill as amended was considered. Mr. BOLT baked whether it was perfectly clear that the officers of the late Insolvent Court, who were proposed to be compensated by this bill. could not be employed under the new Bankruptcy Act. He thought it very undesirable, and he wee sure that it could sot be intended, that persons should be oompeosated who might perform duties under the sow system. There were some houses for example—these houses must be kept up by housekeepers ; were these house keepers to be continued in the houses ;and if mo, would they receive compensation besides their salaries? He sup posed also there would be some provision made for the arrears of compensation in respect of fees to which these unpaid olScers were entitled. Mr. F. PEEL said that the bill related altogether he the allows of the late Insolvent Court for whom so employ ment in the Bankruptcy Court could be found, and who were to receive compensation for the loss of their offices. No new offices would be created. and if additional officers were required it would be easy to re-appoint those whose services had been dispensed with, in which event they would receive @Aeries, but of course their compenuation would in that case cease to be paid. Mr. HENLEY suggested the addition of a dune to the bill which would make the re•appoiutment of the officers, la the event alluded to, not only may but necessary. The bill woe than ordered for third reading to-morrow. GUNPOWDER ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Lords' ameadtteets to this bill were considered and adopted, and the bill was ordered for the third nacliag to- MOTTO,. BURIAL BOARDS (MORTGAGE OF RATES) BILL. This bill passed through oommittee. COUNCIL OF MEDICAL EDUCATION BILL This bill also passed through committee. COAL MINES BILL - - - The Lords' amendnmits to thii bN were considered and agreed to. NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL. Mr. FORSTER moved that thin bill be recommitted, " to order to restore the restriction to night of the special powers givers to the police, which were expunged in com mittee ender a mimpprehension." After ► few words from Mr. P. WYNDHAM in opposition to the motion, The amendment wee withdrawn. Sir J. PAXTON moved the following chase :—" That every policeman employed in carrying out the purposes of this act shall keep a register of the orders given to him and of the time he was employed on each occasion, and that the person by and for whom he was employed shall be charged for the time occupied and services rendered." Mr. HADFIELD seconded the motion. Sir B. LEIGHTON opposed the motion. After a few words from Sir H. VEISNZT in opposition to the bill generally, Sir G. GREY appealed to the hon. member to withdraw his clause, which rather implied that constables would do at the bidding of country gentlemen what the law dad not permit them to do. The ameedment was withdrawn. Sir G. GREY proposed to emend the preamble by omitting the words which asserted that the increase of murderous assaults created the necessity for this act, and substituting the words, " whereas it is expedient that the laws now in forte for the prevention of poaching be amended." Mr. B. OSBORNE characterisedithe bill as one of the greatest mistakes ever brought forward by a private member of parliament at the termination of a hay IM MO. He was one of those who thought that if they most tinker the pme laws it ought to be does by the government, and not by a private member. Let the question be met fairly, and let grime be made property, as it really had become. He denied that gems preserving interfered with good farming, and instanced Norfolk, where there was the best farming and the most game. Mr. W. FORSTER moved that the word " night" be in elated before poaching, with a view to confine the operation of the bill to proceedings et night. Upon a division the numbers were : For the amendment 7S Against it The amendment of Mr. Forster was oonsequadiy loaf. Sir G. GREY said he proposed to insert an ainanded dag. nitro of game in the bill. The definition, as it now ap peared, was such as had never existed before, and he wee surprised it had received the sorent of the committee. (Hear, bear.) What he proposed was to leave out all the words defining same, and to insert the words that " game" shall have the same meaning as in the act passed in tbe 9th George IV., chap. 69, for the gwentioe of ought poaching, sod in the second year of WI m IV., chap. 92. Sir B. LEIGHTON defended the clause as it stood, and stated that former acts bad included the words game or rabbits." He admitted that eggs were a new addition. It was not his p s , i nziosition, bet was proposed by another member, and without a word of opposition. Mr. CRA ORD said that a division was taken on the word rabbits. He regretted the result of the decision which bad been come to, because the objection was to informing the law against day poaching, sod the opponents of the bill also objected to woodcocks, snipes, and rabbita being described as game, they not being game. Mr. BARROW said be was not sure whether he should not at owe move that the house do adjourn, and he thought he should be doing right in taking division after division until the supporters of the boll oould be induced to listen to the arguments spinet it. He believed stringent laws would not put down poaching. (Cries of "Oh," and " Divida..") It was because he believed, that this bill was an entire Par take that he was opposed to it. The petitioners all ob jetted to the police being employed in the preservation of game. It was impossible to make game property. There was no one more desirous to put down poaching than he was. Lord LOVAINE mu to order. The question they were discussing was whether copies were to be erased as same Mr. BARROW said then be would speak about rabbits, and he did not think that hon. gentlemen were wise in en deavouring to make rabbits game. A farmer was quite as mach justified in destroying a rabbit as he would be in , destroying • rat. The house divided, whet there &Petered— • • For the amendment 75 Apiost it Mr. BUTT moved words to exempt females from being searched under the provisions of this act. Mr. NEW DEGATE regretted the clause had bean etre& out which prevented game dealers from keeping a register. He thought as the bill was at first framed it was a very bed one, but it would leave the house in a good shape. He be. Bared it would be inipoessible to make game property. The amendment be should oppose, as it would be vary easy to employ women to drive a cart containing gams, aad if they did so they ought to be made amenable to the law. After some further conversation the house divided, when there appeared For the amendmeat 53 Against BO-27 The .•eodment yea consequently negatived. , On dense 2. Mr. CRAUFURD objected to the extension of the brill to Scotland. No case had been shown for such a provision. There were few or no preserret of pheasants and partridges in Scotland. Re submitted that the experiment should be tried in England first, and moved that the words "Great Britain" be expunged, and the word " England" inserted. The house divided, and the numbers were : For the amendment M Against The amendment was consequently negatived. Mr. BRADY mid that Ireland never had been a poaching eountiy. ( Hear, hen.) Moreover, the police in Irsla had other duties to perform than to protect tuna He moved that the words "and Ireland" be omitted from the bill. Sir B. LEIGHTON said he feared he could n emend to the amendment. The bill could do no possible harm to Ireland. The house divided, and the numbers were : For the amendment Against The amendment was consequently negatived. Mr. CRAUFURD moved the adjournment of the deb►te. The house divided, and the numbers were : For tbe adjournment Against Sir B. LEIGHTON moved the insertion, after the word "game." of the words "or any person aiding or abetting such poison," or baying in hie possession soy game unlaw fully obtained, Ito.

THOMAS' HOlSPlTAL.—Yeetarday the committee of the Commons, with Mr. Buller for chairman, met to consider ',measure to amble the Lord Mayor and corporation, and governors of St. Thomas' Hospital ? to convoy the site of the present hospital to the Cbanng-cross Railway Company, and to acquire a new site for the same. Mr. Ph on, Q.C., and Mr. Johnson appeared for the governors, and the ow was opened by the former gentleman in a long sod elabo rate address, in the ooume of which he (termed at the history, progress, and great public usefulness of the institution, which wee originally established by charter in the reign of Edward VI. The Charing-cries ItailwayCompany requiring the rite at London bridge for their undertaking. it had been made over to them in consideration of a sum of 296,000 L, and the company mitered into pos session on Saturday last, but as doubts with regard to the ability of the governors to sell the prop had been raised, and as it was expedieet that they should have special powers to purchase a site for a new hospital, the proposed bill had been brought in. Mr. Baggallay, the treasurer. Mr. Hunt, government land surveyor, and Mr. Tits, M.P., were examined. The only oppositi on was on the part of the parishes of Bermondsey, St. Thomas, sad St. torge's, Southwark. and the question was diyettemd oo to whether the bill should limit the area within whisk the hospital will be re-established, or whether it should be left to the Court of Chancery to determine; bat as the eom mittee on not limiting the area, bet leaving ft to the Court of Chancery. the oppceitien was withdrawn sad the bill passed.
