IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORD&THVIUSIDAY, Jl` 24. - - - - The Loup CHANCELLOI took his seat on the woolsack b o'clock. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENTS BILL The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the objeotof which he briefly explained was to equal ize the valuation of property rateable to parochial assessments. At present, owing to neglect on the part of the overseers in some cases, cud possibly to interested motives in others, there was great discrepancy in the valuation in essay parishes. ranging, be was ieformed, from 10, 10, 20„ to eves b 0 per cent. Of course the result was to inflict injustice upon the majority of the ratepayers, and an the only remedy was by an expensive process of appeal, that remedy was rarely rested or The present bill, which had emanated originally from the recommendation of a parliamentary committee, had been sent to the different unions sad parishes throughout the country, and bad met with the approval of the several boards of guardians. The bill was reed a second time. NEW ZEALAND BILL On the motion of the Duke of NZWCAMTLE the Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. COAL MINES BILL.

METROFIALIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMENDMENT BILL Their lordships then went into committee on this bill. Claws to 4 were agreed to. On clause 5, Lord EAVENSWORTH directed attention to an alleged overcharge of 28,0001. on the parishes of the district of Fulham sod Hammersmith, and contended that it was un just to burden them with= expense from which they did sot derive any benefit. He proposed to add to the end of the clause, words to the following effect :—Except such pre cepts as might be issued to parts of pariahs, in Fulham and Hammersmith districts, which precepts should be amended so that such parts of parishes should be charged according to the actual benefit derived from there works. After a few words from Lord EGERTON of Tarron and Bari GRAXVILLI, the amendment was negatived without a division, and thu clause was agreed to.

The Earl of DERBY said that before their lordships sweated to the second reading of this bill, be would present to them a petition which he had received that day, sigoed by 296 perNYOS to the neighbourhood of Norwich, praying their lordships to reject the bill altogether. The parties stated that they only received notice of the bill on Satur day Let, and observed that it was beteg harried very rapidly through the house. The present act expired ors the filet of this month, and whilst he could not support the prayer of the petition, because he did not think it desirable that no end should he put suddenly to the coma, he yet thought it would not be unreasonable that rather roots time than something less than a fortnight should be afforded for con sidering the propriety of prolonging the bill or making it permanent It certainly did appear, as the moult of experience, that the bill had failed to fulfil all the objects which its promoters bad in view. Its effect certainly was not greatly to diminish the scandal arising from the publication of very many indecent cases. Indeed, for one such ease previous to the passing of the act there were now at least twenty which were just as freely pub lished as before. He was not expressing any opinion as to the necessity or expediency of coatinuing the Divorce Court as it cloud ; hot, before an act of such a doubtful descrip tion was made permauent, he would suggest to the noble lords opposite whether it would not be better to pass a short continuance act of two or three years' duration, and to allow a general inquiry into the working of the measure, which was very much needed, to take place. He did not propose to offer any objection to the second reading, but hoped the government would consider the suggestion he had made. . . The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that the object of the bill was simply to make perpetual a temporary act passed two years ago for giving power to the Queen's Proctor to intervene in •rder to prevent collusion when such inter vention was considered necessary. That act was now about to expire, and as the power was a very desirable one, and had worked advantageously, it was thought right that it should be made perpetual Lard REDESDALE expressed his individual opinion that the Divorce Act was prejudicial to the morals of the country. The Earl of DERBY was satiated with the explanation of the noble and learned lord, which he believed would re move an erroneous impression that prevailed. The bill was then read a second time, and their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 8. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TutUDAT, JULY 24, The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dolan Valley Mineral Railway Bill, and the Water ford and Limerick sad Linseriek and Ennis Railways Bill were read a third time and passed. Corbet's Estate Bill was read a second time. MILITARY RESERVED FUND. General PEEL wished to know what decision the govern ment bad arrived at with regard to the Military Reserved Fund Sir G. LEWIS replied that • decision had been arrived at with the concurrence of his royal highness the commander ia-chief, that in future an officer retiring from the army should not be entitled as a nattcr of right to 100/. for each year's service, but that each ease should be considered on eta merits with refereeee to the services of the officer and the circumstances under which he left the army--for in 'tattoo, owing to ill health orig inated during active service. It had also been thought that first commissions should as far as possible be granted to non-purchasers. METROPOLITAN TURNPIKM, Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress bad been made towards effecting the abolition of metropolitan turnpikes Sir G. GREY said the 'object was under coloblere.tion, and he believed a bill would be submitted to parliament at an early period next 401"1041 with regard to the question. EDUCATIONAL DISTRICTS. Viscount ENFIELD wished to ask the Viee-President of the Cormittee of Council on Education whether be would consider the advisability of making the districts connected with the Committee of Council on Education smaller ; and whether there was any intention of promoting the masters in these crbools to tho post of examiners? Mr. LOWE replied that both questions were being consi dered, but their deliberations were not yet in • state of harmony to enable them to give a definite answer. THE GENTLEMEN AT ARMS. Sir DE. L EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War on what principle it was that gentlemen who had pur chased appointments in the Corps of Gentlemen at Arms were to be compensated for the price of their appointments out of what is termed the reserved fond, a fund created altogether by contributions from the officers of the regular army ; and what were the intentions of the government as to the continuance or rectillatious in respect to that fond? Sir O. LE V Li replied that the arrangements now in exist- sole were made by his predecessor. There was a desire on the part of thecrowa that the corps should cease to be a purchase corps, and that commissions in it should be given as ri reward to meritorious officers in the regular service. With regard to the other question he could only say that each cane would be considered un its own merits. COLLEGE OF SIAYNCX)TIf. Mr. WHALLEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether be was prepared to give effect to the recommends tine contained in the report of the commiuioners appointed in the year 18.1.3 to inquire into the nratisgerneat and government of the Collage of Mayitooth, that "a calendar be annually published by tits college, stating the names of the several students who have left the college after the com pletion of the course, and their respective destinations ; its alumni at the time alive, cud the places in which they are severally pe rforming their functions." Sir R. PEEL said he saw oo reason why tbe recommen dation of the committee should not be adopted as regarded the publication of the calendar, but the government had no authority to call for returns from the Roman catholic Liahops. OOMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BELGIUM. Mr. W. FORSTER asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could inform the house whether the government had snoceeiled in negotiating a commercial treaty with Belgium, and, if so, on what terms ; also, whether any step had been taken towards negotiating • oommercial treaty with Italy. Mr. LAYARD replied that a commercial treaty wee signed yesterday between this country and Belgium. (Hawr, bear.) It had not yet been ratified, and therefore he was unable to lay it upon the table of the hones. With respect to the second question, he expected shortly to enter into negotiations with Turin. PAHL MENT-STREET. Mr. COCHRANE wished to know what steps the govern• meat had taken for the purchased bowel to the immediate THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 25, , 1862; : vicinity of the new Foreign-061re. He understood that several of the owners of the adjacent houses were making extensive improvements and alterations in order to demand • much higher price next year, when the government might digs for the conduct of affairs would take cars that the : blockade should aot coatinue longer than was required by • international law and internatioeit justiee. (Hear, hear.) I Mr. BOUVERIE said of the three proposals before the' house, and there were only three—no oaii who full fairly, and impartially cousidered the subject could doubt that a rate in aid was the proper measure to be adopted, and that loans and advances were not to be thought of. It appeared to him that they had had sag potions made and proposals hinted at which implied an amount of alarm not justified by the state of the ore. (Hear, hear.) Them was no doubt a good deal of distress and suffering, and people always imagined that present distress was greater than anything that had ever been ex perienced before, or could ever be experienced again ; but would any one tell him, in spite of the exceptional nature of the present case, that it was not posaihle that six, seven, or eight yeses hence, some great national calamity might arise, which might produce a distress even far greater, and far less confined to one particular district, than that with which tiny were now dealing ? He hoped, therefore, that the house would accede to the measure of the President of the Poor-law Board properly modified and amended in com mittee, rather than adopt the suggestions of those who re presented the manufacturing districts, who, he was sure, would be the first to deplore the fact should their advice be taken and the principle which had been proved by experience departed from. (Hear.) Mr. HIBBERT said he had received communications from Oldham expressing an opinion in favour of limiting the powers of the bid to union rating, and in favour of loans for a limited number of years, and be bad no doubt that similar communizations would be received from other parte of Lancashire. it had been said that the principle of a loan was not a very usual one, but he believed it was one that would throw the support and relief of the poor upon the districts by which they ought to be supported. The principle of borrowing mousy was not, however, so unknown to the poor law as it had been repre sented, for he found that there were acts in form for allow ing loans to be raised for building workhouses. to enable poor persons to emigrate, and for making a valuation of the parish. No one connected with Lancashire could fail to see I that there was at present great distress and suffering ; and though that distemis was not at present so great as to require powers beyond the machinery of the existing law, it was of such • character that parliament ought not to sepa rate without making provision for emergencies which might probably arise. From the returns to the llith July it appeared that the number of paupers in Ashton had rises since the Ist of January, 1861, from 1,814 to 9,739 ; that the number in Blackburn had increased in the same period from 3,357 to 10,935 ; and the number in Preston from 3,383 to 11,407. Recent accounts from Wigan and Preston showed that the number of persons without employment was recrossing; and a letter which lie had received from Rochdale stated that out of 65 cotton mills 36 were now at a stand, and in a week or two that number would probably be increased to 60, and the remainder would only be working about two days • week. He was glad that the hon. member for Rochdale had alluded to the labour test, and trusted that the President of the Poor-law Board would seriously coo -1 eider whether certain relaxations might not be made in that rule. The Marquis of HARTLNGTON said the hon. member who bad just sat down bad stated there was nothing before I the house to show that exceptional legislation was required, sad that none of the ratepayers had yet complained they were unable to meet the existing state of things. What they were considering, however, was the mode of meeting what it could be plaialy foreseen must be the circumstances some months hence. Every one who was acquainted with the subject well know that the present stock of cotton would not last much beyond Christmas, and in all proba bility the cotton workers and those dependent ou them would then be entirely out of work, and in • state of com plete-destitution. He thought it highly desirable that power should be given to guardians to borrow money to meet any emergency rather than they should have recourse to rates in aid, became in the former instance the burden would be thrown on those who had participated in cu.uzu lecturing prosperity, while in the latter case the burden would be partially shifted to those who had not so parti cipated. air. BOVILL said the most remarkable feature in this discussion was that nobody bad expressed any approval of the measure. It bad evidently. been prepared in • great hurry, because, looking at the very first clause he found it provided that until the Ist of March the guardians might raise the deficiency of one week. That was perfectly absurd as it stood. Then the next clause provided that the guar dians might raise money from the parishes without any limitation whatever. He also complained there was no provision made in the bill for the varying circumstances of the different parishes. He certainly was in favour of raising money by haus, and be now expressed a hope that a provision would be inserted making a portion of the rate directly payable by the landlords, as without such an enactment the whole burden would fall upon the occupiers. He suggested to the government that it would be better, with reterence to the bill, to strike out all the clauses after the preamble, and let them place new clauses on the order book to obtain the objects which all had in view. After some observations by Mr. HIBBCRT and the Mar quis of HARTINGTON, who was favourable to the giving power to guardians to raise loans, Mr. BOVILL criticised some of the details of the bill, and urinated that the effect of it would be to throw the additional burden not upon property but upon occupiers. Mr. VILLIERS said that when the proposition wan made by the hon. member for North Lancashire (Mr. W. Patten) that there should be no discussion taken on the second reading, because the bill bed only been delivered that morn ing and there had not been time to obtain information, it was generally accepted by the house as tee proper coulee to pursue. From what had since taken place, he certainly thought that would have been the wisest course. (Hear, hear.) A number of general observations had been made not exactly bearing upon the bill, but dealing with all subjects. They had had, what the house generally bad when it was asked to do nothing more than assert a principle—a legal autho rity riling and analysing the whole of the clauses. (Hear, hear.) He thought this authority not a very high authority. With regard to one of the clauses, the hon. and learned gentleman had certainly confounded an order with • rate. The hon. and learned member was also erroneous in his statement that every speaker had condemned the bill. For his own part, he should have left the house with just the opposite impression, for every hon. member who had spoken seemed to think it was a bill framed for and fulfilling the purpose for which it was avowedly introduced, although some amendment might be necessary io the details. He entirely approved of the spirit in which the bill had been received, and he certainly should receive every suggestion which might tend to the improvement of the measure. He was free to admit that he had discovered some mistakes in the bill, arising from waist of accurate information previous to its introduction; but that information was now in band. One amendment he should wish to iutroduce would be to make the bill operative, not when the rates amounted to so many shillings in the pound, but when • cer tain increase had taken place over the usual amount. A favourite proposition, which be had considered and was most willing to reconsider, wee to provide, as an alternative or in substitution of the plan in the bill, that the parishes should be allowed to borrow mousy on mortgage of the rates. With regard to that question there was a great dd. foresee of opinion throughout laiumuihire, and be looked upon the proposal himself as objectionable. If a loan were resorted to, the distressed people might find them selves next year encumbered with a heavy debt and interest. This was therefore not a matter to speak about with confidence, nor was there any ground for denouncing a measure which did not provide for • loan. At the same tune, he admitted, as every one withcommon candour must, that this was not exactly the case put by the right hon. gentleman the member for Kilmarnock (Mr. Bouverie) of ordinary manufacturing distress. It was extraordinary and exceptional in every way. (Hear, hear.) He hardly re membered anything like it ; it cos as if general sterility had elated the land, and when they considered how they could best mitigate the sufferings of the people, they ought not to be too strait or rigid in their plans, so long as they were careful not to aggravate the evil. (Hear, hear.) Looking to the condition of the district he thought his plan was more considerate than that of a loan. It called in aid the assistance of the more fortunate ratepayers, and relieved the distressed without any obligation to repay what they had received. He did not mean to say that a loan would not relieve some of the ratepayers, but that was a question for the consideration of the parties in Lancashire who were most interested in the matter. They would have to my whether they preferred raising money st:mice by loan and re payicg it annually, or whether they would adopt the mode which the ancient law recognised of going to the districts which were well able to afford them relief, and which from what he heard were very willing at that moment to of such relief. So deeply was this extraordinary crisis felt that people were anxious to know where they could deposit their money in order to somewhat relies. the Reaves. The right hon. gentleman the member for Kilmarnock was not altogether candid in his reference to this subject. He seemed to imagine that tl'e government were exciting readies alarm, but if he had made inquiry for the information in the pouessioa of the Poor-law Board, he would have found that the measure was called for, and that he (Mr. Villiers) could not have justified himself if he had allowed parliament to rise withont taking its opinion on the question. (Hear, hear.) He admitted that the law had been adequate up to the present time, but the state of things was rapidly becoming greatly aggravated. (Hear, hear.) The working classes bed struggled to the last moment, and they had drawn out their last sixpence from the savings bank. People were perfectly astonished how much they had saved, and how fearful a pressure on the rates had been prevented by their providence and fore thought. (Hear, bear.) The right hon, gentleman had also stated that the rates were very low in the manufacturing districts, but he overlooked the fact that those rates was paid largely by the working men themselves. (Hear, bear.) In Oldham two-thirds of the ratepayers were operatives, and in other towns one-fourth, and one-third. A large portion of the ratepayers were also shopkeepers, who depended entirely on the ens tom of the working classes. It had further been stated that 50 per cent. had to be deducted from the amount of the rates in Staxicport for nos-collection, ands other placer' similar apprehensions as to the deficiency existed. This led to • very serious state of things. lie had informs. tion without end to the effect that the gradual increase of the pressure had been so steady that the closing of mills was expected everywhere. This bill proposed to meet the evil in an affective manner, which wee sot sew, and har monised with our general system for the relief of the poor. It enabled distressed puisha to go to contiguous parishes or towasbips for relief. Preston included 32 town ships, some of which were not vary much dlstresc3d, and was it not fair that these should contrilistte sentothing He had heard no complaint from the non-disireemed or townships at their being called on to do so. and he iis believed there would be none. With regard to the obeervatioe of the boo. member for Rochdale ea to loans, it was true that loans could now be obtained, but there wens practical diftioul. ties in the way which prevented their being reeorted to. He prop:teed to go . into committee on the bill on Monday nark and in the interval there would be time for bon. members to consider its provision'. (Hear.) Colima W. PATTEN asked whether the right hon. gentleman gave up the starting point of the bill, which, as it stood, was fluctuatuig Mr. C. VILLIERS maid he had given up nothing, but he would consider any proposition. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought that they should as much as passible avoid all great changes, and that they I should limit all their efforts to enabling parish's to raise loans on a safe footing in caws of great necessity. Mr. NEWDEGATE said, as be had had some experience in administering the Coventry relief fund, perhaps the house would think a few ()Nervations from him not out of place. Those who administered that fund came to the conclusion that the best mode they could adopt was to as sign a sum to each district, as it was impracticable to admi nister it in a maw. He was convinced that relief could only be well administered through the local au thorities. For that reason he was strongly in favour of granting loans on rates, because they would thus render it the interest of those who bad local knowledge to practise economy. The bill was then reed a second time and ordered to be committed on Monday next. BANKRUPTCY ACT (1861) AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. F. PEEL moved that this bill be nada second time. Mr. AYRTON said there was an accidental error in the schedule of the act of last session, by which the clause which disguslined county court judges for sitting in par liament was repealed. He suggested that the opportunity might now be taken when this bill was in committee to remedy that error. The bill WAS then read a second time. MILITIA PAY BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Colonel DUNNE expressed his satisfaction that so many as 156,000 of the militia were called out for drill this year. The difficulty with the militia now was not with the men but with the officers, who were pecuniary loser; end he suggested that they should be allowed lodging money. Sir G. C. LEWIS said this had been a peculiarly success ful year for the militia. The recruiting bad gone on in a satisfactory manner, and there was no necessity for adopting any measure to encourage recruiting in the militia. He would direct his attention to the subjects mentioned by the hon. and gallant gentleman. The house then went into, and the bill passed through, committee without ameodmeut. THE CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill paned through committee. THE GUNPOWDER ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS (OFFICER FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DEEDS) BILL This bill pained through committee. THE CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. Mr. F. PEEL said this bill had been framed in accordance with the rcoommendation of the select committee. The bill was then read a wooed time. THE POOR REMOVAL BILL. On the question that. the bill be read a third time, Sir H. BRUCE was urging objections to the bill, when en hon. member (there being only about twenty members present) moved that the house be counted. After the lapse of the usual time, during which members came from the library and dining-rooms, the Speaker counted the house, and finding 40 members present, the bon. member proceeded to say that if this bill were passed, the poor Irish residing in Lancashire and Cheshire, and thrown out, of employment in consequence of the want of cotton, would be sent back to Ireland. He would conclude by moving that the order be discharged with • view to the bill being recommitted. Sir G. GREY opposed the motion. The law as it stood at present limited the power of removal of the poor, and be believed the apprehensions of the hon. member would not be realised. Colonel DUNNE hoped theta further opportunity would be given to consider this matter. The house was in too apathetic a state to consider serious questions, for all that the few members who remained desired to do was to go borne. Mr. MONSELL thought it was the duty of the govern ment to take this subject into their serious considera tion, and deal with it in a different manner than this bill provided for. The amendment was then withdrew., and the bill was read a third time andpassed. THE COPYRIGHT (WORKS OF ART) BILL. The Lords' amendments were considered and agreed to. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. The Lords' amendments were considered. Mr. HENNESSY moved to disagree with the amend ment on the quarter-acre clause. Sir R. PEEL thought it would not be judicious to resist the alteration. After some discussion, the house divided : Ayes Noes ll-50 So the amendment was agreed to. Sir R. PEEL moved to restore clauses relating to county infirmaries namely, clauses 3,4, 5, and 6. which the Lords had rejected by a majority of only two, whereas this house had adopted then. by 96 against 69. lie considered that the weight of authi.rity was in their favour, and he hoped the bowie would join in supporting them. (Hear, bear.) Colonel DUNNE thought the Lords were right in reject ing the clause.. After some discussion the motion that the boom, disagree with the Lords' amendment was put and carried without a division. The verbal amendments introduced by the Lords into the bastardy clause were agreed to. On the questiou that the Lords' amendment with refe rence to the religion in which deserted children brought to the workhoine should be educated, be agreed to, Mr. HENNESSY moved that the amendment be rejected. He considered that the clause proposed by the govern. meet, providing that the religion of the finder of a deserted child should fix the religion in which it was to be registered and reared, was a great improvement on the law heretofore io force, namely, that the child should be educated in the religiou of the state. Sir It. PEEL said lie could not agree to the motion. One point had been gained, namely, that under one clause in the bill, which had not been altered, baptism would be con clusive as to the religion of the deserted child, and it would be brought up in the religion in which it was bap tised. Sir G. BOWYER denied that it was heretofore the law that deserted children in Ireland should be brought up in the religion of the state. Mr. Blackburn. and Mr. Brewster gave it as their opinion that a child ought to be brought up in the religion of the state, but they bad not stated that such was the law. Mr. VANCE said that the honourable sad learned baronet was no doubt a pound constitutional lawyer, but he preferred the opinion of ex-Lord Chancellor Blackburn, the present Lord Justice of Appeal, and of Mr. Brewster, the leader of the Irish bar, who had each given it as their opinion that according to the law a deserted child maintained by the state should be brought up in the religion of the state. That was a far better province than the clumsy principle proposed by the bill as it originally stood, that the child should he reared in the religion of the policeman, or whoever else might happep to find it. The house divided : For the Lordenmeadment 75 Against The amendment was then agreed to, as were the remain ing amendment.. HARBOURS TRANSFER BILL. The Lords' amendments were considered and agreed to. JURIES BILL. On the consideration of the Lords' amendments to this bill, Sir G. GREY moved that the house do not agree to the Lords' amendment, which exempted the veterinary surgeons and pharmaceutical chemiste from serving as jurors. If this exemption was made in favour of the pharmaceutical chemists, other classes of the community would be putting in claims for a similar exemption. The chemists did not stand in the same category . as the physicians and surgeons, who could not transfer their skill =A science to others, if suddenly called on to attend • patient. But the chemist. had assistants who were competent to compound medi cioes. (Hear, bear.) Sir H. STRACEY was sorry to find that the right bon. gentleman objected to the Lords' amendment with regard to the chemists. They were • small and a chartered body, and he thought they ought to be exempted, from the nature of their employment. Mr. HODGSON agreed with his hon. friend that the pharmaseutical chemists should be exempted. Mr. COLLINS was opposed to soy further exemptions from serving on juries. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATE thought the duties of the , vete rinary surgeons entitled them to exemption. After a few words from Mr. Form, The house divided : For the Lords' amendment Aftaind 53-0 The announcement of the numbers was received with laughter. The SPEAKER said that the house having Mk up the bill to the Lords in a certain shape, and the Lords having amended the bill, then the house having divided on the question of whether or not they would agree to the Lords' amendments, and the numbers on such division having been equal, he should give effect to what appeared to hint to be the intention of the house, and give his vote with the aye.. (Cheers.) The remaining amendments (with one exception) were agreed to. MUTUAL SURRENDER OF CRIMINALS (DEN HAM) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL. The hams went into committee on this hill. Oa deem 1, Sir S. NOILTHOOTE said that be /11/11111 friends had pre pared prints of the clause u it would stand if their amend ments were adopted, and that any member was welcome to a copy. Mr. FORSTER said that he bad been furnished by the courtesy of the boo. baronet with a print of the clause as it was proposed to be amended. But the fact of say printed copies baring been made was a sufficient, reason why boo. members generally should be furnished with them, and be thought that a good reason why the chairman should report rogram. The committee then divided, and the numbers were : For reporting progress 29 Against Mr. CONINGHAM serried his surprise that the government should support this bill. The country would not fail to see now where the noble lord got his majority in that house ; but he would warn the noble lord that he would not long be able to follow the same course with im punity. (Order, order.) He moved that the chairman leave the chair. Mr. CLAY had voted in the minority in each of the divisions against the bill hitherto, but he did not think it or a measure that should be met per fas.aut nefas, and if it was to be opposed by every form of the house, he oould not again go into the same lobby. Mr. CONINGHA hl withdrew his motion. Sir B. LEIGHTON proposed in clause 1, line 17, to leave out from " to apprehend any each person" to the end of the clause, and insert " also to stop, search, and detain any cart, boat, or other conveyance, in or upon which there shall be reasonable cause to suspect that any such game, guns, parte of guns, nets, or other engines are being carried, and should they find any game or any such article or thing as aforesaid upon such person, cart, boat, or other conveyance, to seize and retain the same ; and such constable shall in such case apply to some justice of the peace for a summons citing such person to appear before two justices of the peace acting for the county or borough within which the seizure has been made, and if the person so charged shall fail to satisfy the said justices that he obtained such game lawfully, or that he had such gun, parte of gnus, nets, or engines in his possession for a lawful purpose, the said justices shall, on oonvictioe, order the person so convicted to forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding 51 ., and shall forfeit such game, guns, parte of guns, nets, and engines, and direct the same to be sold, and the proceeds of such sale, with the amount of the penalty, to be paid to the treasurer of the county or borough where the oonvktion takes place ; and no person who, by direction of a justice, in writing, shall sell any game so seized, shall be liable to any penalty for such sale." Sir D. DUN DAS thought the word " boat" must have in. advertently crept into the amendment, and be would suggest that it should be struck out, and that the word " reason able" should be omitted also. Mr. COX moved to leave out from the word " also" down to the word "carried" After some discussion, the committee divided : For the amendment 45 Against it word " boat" was struck out. .c. COX moved the omission of the words "or other Iveyance."__ Mr. conveys, _ Mr. CONINGHAM said that when such extraordinary powers ware given to the police., one might imagine they were passing an Irish coercion bill. The committee divided : For the amendment Against it Some other verbal amendments were introduced. _ --- Mr. HENLEY moved to insert word. requiring that the offender should be taken before two justices "at petty sessions." Sir B. LEIGHTON agreed to this, and it was agreed that the amendment should be introduced on the report. Mr. AYRTON objected to that part of the clause which threw the onus upon the party charged of proving that he obtained "such game lawfully," or was in of " such gun, ttc., fora lawful purpose," which he said was opposed to the first principles of law. Mr. OOLLINS said this legislation was not exceptional, for in Yoekshjzethere was an actin operation which oorroella persons who had yarn in a certain state of manufacture in their possession to show that they had become lawfully polo seised of it. Mr. WALTER said that until they made game property they could not proceed to legislate in a sensible manner. The provisions of acts of parliament applicable to goods of any description could not apply to gene. (Hear.) Mr. D. GRIFFITH reminded the boo. gentleman that this clause applied to dead game, and it was therefore pro perty. (No, no.) Well, it was property under some mr curcitances. Mr. HENLEY thought the old principle that • man was to remain silent until he was proved to be guilty ought to be retained, and therefore he should vote for the amend ment of the hoc. and learned member for the Tower Ham lets, which threw the burden of proof on the prossenter. Mr. W. E. FORSTER said that as • wotsed manufac turer he hail seen the evil of the legislation referred to by the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Collins.) He did not mean to say that he had known serious injustice actually perpe trated, but he bad seen how extremely easy it woulieo commit wrong if they once departed from the principle of our common law, and threw the onus probansii oti the party accused. (Hear, bear.) Mr. CONINGHAM believed that game preservers were great encouragers of poaching. (Hear, hear.) Was it not a fact, that they frequently bought pheasants' egg. and young pheasants from poachers? (Cheeses) Mr. NEWDEGATE hoped hon. gentlemen on his (the opposition) side of the house would be satisfied with the great step they would gsin if the bill pared in the form proposed by the member for the Tower Hamlet.. They ought not to wish to alter the law of evidence, even for the sake of preserving game. (Cheers.) Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that although he thought the amendment would, if adopted, weaken the measure to• considerable extent, he was not prepared to vote for the retention of the words objected to, and he hoped the hon. baronet would not press for their retention. Mr. DEEDES said he considered it would be well not to make the measure very stringent at first, and he hoped therefore that the bill would not be endangered by any effort to have the clause adopted in its present form. The committee divided. For Mr. Ayrton's amentment lO2 Against 45-57 Mr. AYRTON then proposed the insertion of words to the effect that the suspected person should he proved to be guilty before he was imprisoned. The house decided by large majorities in favour of the principle of the bill, and that being the ease his object was to make it Si consistent as possible. Mr. P.A. TAYLOR moved that the chairman report pro goes. He had received many ooromunicetioos from his con stituents, requesting him to use all the forms of the house to defeat the bill. (Oh, ob.) Mr. NEWDEGATE said the answer to the honourable gentleman was that the bill was one for the repression of crime. (Hear.) Mr. CRAUFITRD said that the original bill had been so much altered that, if pawed, it would leave the law almost as it stood at present, with this exception that the police of the country ware to be employed in the preserva tion of game. He did not think they ought to pass a bill merely for such a purpose. (Oh, oh.) The committee divided : For reporting progress 3l Against Mr. W. E. FORSTER moved that the Chains's leave the chair. -- --- The committee spin divided : Ayes Noes . 108-70 Mr. COX appealed to the hon. baronet who bad charge of the bill to cot:went at that late hour (a quarter-put 1) that the chairrnin should report progress. - Sir B. LEIGHTON believed that if the committee would apply itself to the subject, the bill might be got through in a quarter of an hour. (Hear, bear.) The amendment wee thee inserted, and upon the question " that the clause as amended stand part of the bill," • divi sion was taken with the following result : For the clause Against it Clause 2 was negatived at the suggestion of Sir B. Lam HTON. Clause 3 was agreed to, sod the bill with amendments was ordered to be reported. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. SUFFOCATION IN FLOOR.—Yesterday morning an inquest was held by Mr. Payne at the Bell Tavern, timer Thames-street, respecting the death of William aged 19, a miller's labourer, who was suffocated beneath a mem of flour at the City Flour-mills, Thames-street, oe Tuesday last, under the following shocking circumstances. Mr. W. Edwin, solicitor, appeared for the friends of the deceased. It appeared from the evidence that it was the duty of deceased to reoeive the dour and prevent any stop page in the shoots when it was sent down from the dressing fluor at the top of the steam mills in question. On Tuesday he was receiving abound in a chamber or "parting," and the Boar accumulating to the height of six feet from the floor, be directed a perms to open the shoot uoderneath, so as to allow a portion to he carried off. This was doue, and deceased was carried down through the shoot in the midst of an im mense mass of flour, and the first that was known of the occurrence was his lifeless body being dug from out of the pile of flour on the lower door. His mouth sod nostrils were stuffed with flour, and death must have been instanta neous. It was supposed that he stood too nearly over the shoot, in consequence of there being nothing to indicate the position when the floor was covered with the flour. Mr. William Waite, the foreman of the mills, admitted, is mow • examination, that two men had been previously guff= but not under the present propriston. The jury return a verdict of "Accidental Death," and recommended that proper guards should be eonstructed to provost the recur rence of such lamentable accidents. Mr. Ridley. one of the proprietors of the mills, said that he should give instate tious to the engineer to carry out the recommendation. LONDON AND 800111-WINTINN RAILWAY.—It will be remembered that reesatly complaint', have bee* made relative to the carriage socommodation on this h li a ne ,. hy p th u e .d publie . for ti appmr , o, : pw ho n w ta eve . r g. , th i l t t th u Loom pa cz arising from the disgraceful cutting and ry clone to their new carriages, which they threaten to withdraw from the Tina if the practice be continued, bes ides offering • mend of 901. for the discovery of the offeaders. de.. to olrehLe them. Mr. COWPER replied that the government had already purchased a site iment for the erection of the public offi,ve, bounded by Downiog-street on the north, King street on the east, Charles-street on the south, and Bt. Fames M s 7 par irnn the west. That site was larseiibsa they required for the present wants of the (overarmed, and seve ral years would probably elapse before it wee fully used. With regard to the houses lying between Bing-street and Parliament-street, he thought it would be very desirable to purchase them, not with a view to using their site as build ing ground. but for the purpose of widening Parliament. street. (Hear, bear.) No steps, however, had been taken towards that object since the project of Lord Llanover some years ago was abandoned, and the government bad no funds in hand for the purpose. UNION RELIEF BILL. Upon the order of the day for the mond reeding of this . . . Mr. POTTER thought that if the government had adopted the plan of sending out • commisaion and making • full and general inquiry, instead of confining themselves to the large towns, they would have come to another conclusion, and instead of introducing this bill, would have proposed some exceptional measure to the house. No mere alteration in the rates within the unions or the county would meet the cue. Of course be was thankful for what bad been done, but he hoped they would find some means to prevent 300,000 of the very beet artisans is the country becoming paupers. He believed that that would require 100,0001. per month for the next six or seven months, and he would in conclusion earnestly urge upon the government a fuller consideration of the whole question than was given by the bill on the table. Colonel W. PATTEN was inclined to think that a much more direct and efficacious remedy than that in the bill would be first of all to fix the amount at which _ . Zostert,and then to enable the ratepayers of the different townships to raise a loan on the security of the rates. (Hear, hear.) There was also another difference in the manufac turing districts, viz., that a very large proportion of the rates were payable by parties who were very little above the line of demarcation between the ratepayers and the rate ' receivers—(hoar. hear)—that, in fact, a large class of rate payer. were more seriously affected at the present moment than almost the rate-receivers themselne. (Hear, hear.) These ratepayers depended almost entirely on the custom of the operatives, and that being suddenly and unex pectedly taken away they were not only deprived of the usual mesas of existence, but were called upon to pay the additional rates. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. B. SMITH said he had only received the bill that morning, and as thews was much difference of opinion among the representatives of the mauidesturing districts with regard to it, he would suggest that the discussion should be taken in committee. Lord STANLEY thought it unfortunate that no propcei ties was made to enable parishes or unions to do what he be lieved in many instances they were maxims to do, viz., when their immediate resources were exhausted, to draw upon their future resources instead of throwing themselves upon charity. It was said that these unions or parishes might exercise this power of borrowing prematurely, before they had sufficiently exhausted their present resources, and spend the money rashly or hastily; but the Poor-lawßoardhadthe remedy for this in their own bands. Nothing would be easier then for them to say that the rate in aid should not come into operation until the rates reached a certain amount. (Hear, hear.) Alderman SIDNEY objected to the bill, beeline it did not provide that the rate in aid should be levied at once on the whole county. Mr. HENLEY thought they ought to fix some defi nite sum, say fia. or Ta in the pound, which the rates should reach before the wish was deemed not able. If they were to enact, as was proposed, that upon the expen diture, in any particular week, being two-thirds more than it was iu a year or two before, they 'should rate other parishes in aid, it would be abused. The parochial autho rities would borrow money in that particular week in order that they might be able to go upon their neighbours. He hoped that his right honourable friend would amend this portion of the bill in committee. There was another portion of the bill which would also want amending. The hon. member opposite had pointed out dis crepancies in the rating of different parishes. Under this bill it might happen that • parish might be rated in aid of ' another parish when its own rates were actually higher than the rates of the parish it was rated in aid of. A suggestion had bee, made that the pariahs* should be empowered to borrow money to meet the present distress. He did not approve of that, and especially after what had bees said by his hon. friend near him (Colonel Wilson Patten), who stated that two-thirds of the mills had been erected on borrowed capital. He thought they ought not to depart from the old principle in regard to poor relief. if things were done in this burned way they were apt to be done not very soundly, and therefore if there was to be any change of principle it had better be done in a future session, when it could be more maturely considered. Mr. COBDEN said that the old law of Elizabeth, how ever it may be suited to Oxfordshire, would not now do much for Rochdale, he was convinced under the existing state of things and the impending emergency. It seemed to be thought that we had only to levy rates in order to get them paid, whereas rates could only be paid oat of the product of industry, which in Lancashire had nearly ceased. The lightness of the rates in these districts hitherto hail been caused by their prosperity; but now that prosperity was in a state of paralysis, and there were no means of paying. He hoped and believed that the present dearth of cotton was purely exceptional ; it had not arisen from natural causes, an d, was, therefore, by so much the more difficult to deal with. There were three or four millions of cotton in America in tercepted by a commercial blockade, and this large amount hanging over the market prevented awr operations being en tered into; and as the question was only one of a temporary failure of the supply of raw material. it was not to be ex ' prided that the machinery for manufacture in all its branches should be broken up. What should be done was to seals the population of these districts tide over such a time as their industry niay be paralysed. Everything should be done to avoid bringing the smaller manufacturer of Lanca shire, who formed the bulk of that industry, to ruin and he could take on himself to say that it would not b e sale to let parliament separate without the government taking the responsibility of meeting the emergency upor. themselves. The hon. gentleman continued :—lf the existing dis tress may end in six or twelve menthe, would it not be advisable to give to parishes power to borrow money upon the security of the rates, or to get a rate in aid more promptly extended to them than seems to be the idea of the right hon. gen tleman! (Hear, hear.) I am as much opposed to any thing of the kind in ordinary times as the right hon. gen tleman can be. I would not extend it to the agricultural districts under any cow:savable circumstances—(Opposition cheers)—but I would allow the people of these manufactur ing towns to adopt the course which they think most ad visable for themselves. I think the house ought to be pre pared to act mainly upon the advice of those whose inte rests are chietly at stake in this matter. The cotton dis tricta have never showu themselves deficieut in that saga city which is necessary for the management of their own affairs ; and if it is their wish—aa I think it is—to have power given them to borrow money, and to extend the repayment of it over au or ten yearn, I think they ought to be allowed to do so. (Hear, hear.) It cer tainly would be very unwise in the house or the government to take upon them the responsibility of interfering at such a crisis. lam aware that the powers to which I have referred would require to be guarded by car tein securities, but every facility ought to be given to parishes to meet such a winter as that which is coming— such a winter as the most sagacious man cannot contem plate without dread. (Hear, hear.) I would suggest to the government another provision. My hon. friend spoke of the operatives as if they were paupers. For my owe part, I will slaver call men "paupers " who have bees brought to receive public assistance in consequence of this blockade of the Southern States of America. (Loud cheers.) I invite these men, so far as my voice can retch them, not to stint their children, and pot to punish their wives and those de pendent upon them, by their honourable repugnant* to se• cept pariah relief. Don't let them think that by going to get the assistance to which they are en titled they are in any way humiliating themselves, because no one has a right to my that they are at all de. graded by so doing. (Loud cheers.) There is hardly one of thesis men that would not far rather pay a poor ratethan re- ' arise help from ooe; and I would meet their ease another way. Do what you can to prevent them from selling up their fur niture, and do not make them go through the sickening humiliation of taking their place amongst &crowd of paupers at the parish pay-table. I would suggest that the govern ment should make a provision to the e ff ect that it shall be competent to perishes to lend money to distressed ope ratives. There are many families who have been receiving an income of 40s. or 50.. a week ; and an soon as the tall chimney smokes once more they are certain to earn those wages again. There are thousands who would borrow money, to be repaid as soon as they regain work, who could not be persuaded to take it as • dole. (Cheer.) I am told by my hon. friends near me that guardians may already lend money. 1 hardly know how the law stands ; but if it is so, I hope it will be more generally known and acted upon. I would advise my right hon. friend (Mr. Villiers) likewise to offer every bet lity to deserving persons for obtaining relief. The labour test was never intended for any but sturdy beggars ; but if a mill is stopped you cannot want any better proof—sod it is pedantry to ask for any better—that the hands are in seed of relief, or that they are willing to work. (Hear, hear.) I think it is fortunate that my right hon. friend happens to beat the head of the Poor-law Board. He will not be re garded by the working classes as wanting in any feeling of humanity or sympathy for them ; for his name will always be associated in their minds with a measure which has done more than any other to promote their prosperity and their independence. (Cheers.) Mr. LYGON thought if it was right that the agricultural districts should bear, as they had borne in many cams and for many years, the pressure of high rates, surely the manu facturing districts, when called upon by exceptional circtim. @Mance to bear high rates, should not transfer the burden to other portion* of the county. But if the present dis tress arose from exceptional circumstances, it was the duty of the government to see that those excep tional circumataaces did not continue longer than was necessary. (Hear, hear.) The supply of cotton could only be °Wiped by the termination of the Amortise war, and be treated that thole who ware ropes- AttillitiEl'AS.

Them is a fair demand for yarns, but chiefly for the home supply. Two•folds are most in demand. The continental homes, owing to the enhanced prices of cottoo, are doing very little ; they act with great caution. There is a rather improved business doing for Russia. In pieces, some speculative purchases for stock have been made during the week for the French market ; but to-day a quieter tone prevails, and transactions are limited. The high prices now ruling, coupled with the prospects of a more plentiful supply of cotton, and the general feeling that we have now reached the highest point, lead to ex treme caution on the part of foreign and home Mayen. The insane= doing is consequently almost exclusively confined to the placing of urgent orders or ess2 up of stock. Manufacturers continue to be well ern LACE AND HOSlERY.—NorrnionAm, JULY 24. At the ekes of last week there were several considerable buyers in the lace market, chiefly operating for the home trade, and also a few Germans. Some large parcels of fancy lace and cotton nets were disposed of, though mostly at old rates, recourse being had to stocks made up previously to the advance in the cost of raw material. An impression prevails in some quarters that we have seen the worst of the cotton famine, and that with the Works in the hands of speculators, the canoed ea roots from India and other cotton growing countries we shall have enough to last till Christmas. Business, in some branches of the lace trade, still continues brisk, especially iu silk laces, trimmings, and quilliop. The high price of yarns interferes with the cotton lam department. The demand for shawls has been much checked by the coolness of the weather. Hosiery.— We have very little alteration to report in the hosiery trade. Business is on about the same footing as before, and yarns are as firm as ever. The later news from America has, if anything, had a depressing influence upon the trade. —Nottingham Journal.
